This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."----London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalnus practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT The Wanderer, 4, screw steam gun-vessel, Com mander M. R. Pechell, at Chatham, is waiting the arrival of her books and papers from the Admiralty to be paid off. She has been in commission four years, and is to be paid off without any:of her bulk heads or internal fittings being removed, as it is expected she will be shortly recommissioned. The Immortalite, 51, screw, in No.: 7 dock at Portsmouth, is found to have some defects in the vicinity of her keel, a portion of her garboard planking being rotten. The Princess Royal, 91, screw, in the steam basin at Portsmouth, has a number of hands working upon her, making good defects. The ;whole of her stern planking has been removed, and her timbers in places are in a very unsound 'state. From ap pearances at present, when she is placed in dock the defects in the after body of her timbvis and plank ing will be found to be of serious met ent. The Duncan, 101, screw, in the steam basin at Portsmouth, has her screw shafting in,s.nd the whole of her boilers on board and fixed in their respective positions. The remainder of the machinery has not yet been received from the contractors. The Victoria, 121, screw, also in the steam basin, has her boilers fixed, and her cylinders with the greater part of her machinery on board. The Queen, 86, screw, Captain C.' F. Hillyar, steamed out of Portsmouth Harbour, yesterday to Spithead, exchanging the customary - salutes with the Victory, 104, bearing the flag of Admiral W. Bowles C. 8., the Commander-in-Chief. Vice-Admiral of the White H. W. Bruce has received the appointment as Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, vice Admiral W. Bowles, C. 8., on the expiration of the latter officer's command on the Ist of March next. Admiral Bruce arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, and has taken up his quar ters for the present at Southsea.

The Chester Cup has not, up to the present time been suffi ciently tempting to induce the large bookmakers to embarkin speculation upon the race, consequently no horse which was not exactly a " safe one," could at present be invested upon to win a large stake except a very low figure would be taken. To-day Longrange was supported for £lOO at 25 to 1, without at all improving his position, that price being offered against him up to the close. Viatka was nibbled at at 25 to 1, and although that is her nominal quotation, offers against her are not by any means plentiful. Birmingham and The Brewer were in considerable force at 40 to 1, at which price Arsenal was invested upon. 500 to 15 was taken once about Gaspard. For the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes Buccaneer and The Wizard are equal avourites at 4to 1, take 9to 2 each. Lu pullus remains firm at any advance upon 6 tog.

For the latter event 1009 to 20 would have been taken about the King of Diamonds, against whom 1009 to 25 would have been laid ; not a single transaction, however, upon this event came under our notice. Although the weights for the Liverpool Steeplechase h received a limited eiroulation, Xanthus was the only horse inquired after, but what few books are opened upon this event are upon a very small scale. In fact, upon the whole we never remember to have observed less inclination on the part of the leading members of the ring to gamb!e than is mani fested on their part at present. CLOSING PRICES.

The LORD CHANCELLOR having road her Majesty's Speech, as follows : MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,—• It is with great satisfaction that I again meet you in Parliament, and have recourse to your assignee and advice. My relations with Foreign Powers continue to be on a friendly and satisfactory footing. , At the close of the last Session I informed yott that overtures had been made to me to. ascertain whether, if a Conference should be held by the Great Powers of Europe, for the purpose of settling arrangements connected with the present state and future condition of Italy, a Plenipotentiary would be sent by me to assist at such a Conference. 1 have since received a formal invitation from the Emperor of Austria and from the Emperor of the French to snd a Plenipotentiary to a Con gress to consist of the Representatives of the eight PoWers who were parties to AT Treaties of Vienna of 1815 ; the objects of such Congress being stated to be, to receive communica tion of the treaties concluded at Zurich; and to de liberate, tzssociating with the above-mentioned Powers the Courts of Rome, of Sardinia, and of the Two Sicilies, on the means best adapted for th e pacification Of Italy and for placing its prosperity on a solid and durable basis. Desirous, at all times, to concur in proceedings having for their object the maintenance of peace I accepted the invitation, but, at the same time, I made known that, in such a Congress I should steadfastly maintain the principle that no external force should be employed to impose upon the people of Italy any particular Government or Constitution. Circumstances have arisen which have led to a postponement of the Congress, without any day having been fixed for its meeting; but whether in Congress or in separate negotiation, I shall endea vour to obtain for the people of Italy freedom from foreign interference by force of arms in their inter nal concerns, and I trust that the affairs of the Italian Peninsula may be peacefully and satisfac torily settled. Papers on this subject will soon be laid before you. I am in communication with the Emperor of the French with a view to extend the commercial inter course between the two countries, and thus to draw still closer the bonds of friendly alliance between them. A dispute having arisen between Spain and Morocco, I endeavoured, by friendly means, to pre vent a rupture ; but, I regret to say, without success. I will direct papers on this subject to be laid before you. My Plenipotentiary and the Plenipotentiary of the Emperor of the French having, in obedience to their instructions, proceeded to the mouth of the Peiho river, in 'order to repair to Pekin to exchange in that city the ratifications of the Treaty of Tien tsin, in pursuance of the IX.lth Article of that Treaty, their further progress was opposed by force, and . a conflict'took place between the Chinese forts at the mouth of the river, and the naval forces by which the Plenipotentiaries were escorted. The allied forces displayed on this occasion their usual bravery, but, after sustaining a severe loss, were 'compelled to retire. I am preparing, in concert and co-operation with the Emperor of the French, an expedition, intended to obtain redress and a fulfilment of the stipulations of the Treaty of Tien-tsiu. It will be, gratifying to me, if the prompt acquies cence of the Emperor of China in the moderate demands which will bemade by the Plenipotentiaries shall obviate the necessity for the employment of force. I have directed that papers on this subject shall be laid before you. An unauthorised proceeding by an officer of the United States in regard to the Island of San Juan, between Vancouver's Island and the mainland, might have led to a serious collision between my forces and those of the United States. Such colli sion, however, has been prevented by the judicious forbearance of my naval and civil officers on the spot, and by the equitable and conciliatory provi sional arrangement proposed on this matter by the Government of the United States. I trust that the question of Boundary out of which this affair has arisen may be amicably settled in a manner conformable with the just rights of the two countries, as defined by the First Article of the Treaty of 184 G. The last embers of disturbance in my East Indian dominions have been extinguished ; my Viceroy has mado a peaceful prigress through the districts which had bean the principal sctne of disorder, and, by a judicious combination of firmness and generosity, my authority has ben everywhere solidly and, I trust, permanently established. I have received from my Viceroy the most gratify ing accounts of the loyalt3 of my Indian subjects, and of the good feeling evinced by the native Chiefs and the great landowners of the country. The attention of the Government in India has been directed to the development of the internal resources of the country; and I am glad to inform you that an improvement has taken place in its financial prospects. _ _ _ - I have concluded a treaty with the Tycoon of Japan, and a treaty regarding boundaries with the Republic of Guatemala. I have directed that these treaties shall be laid before you. GENTLEMEN OF TIIE HOUSE OF COMMONS, I have directed the Estimates for the ensuing year to be laid before you. They have been pre pared with a view to place the military and naval services, and the defences of the country, upon an efficient footing. I am glad to be able to inform yoit that the pub lic revenue is in a satisfactory condition. Mr LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, I have accepted, with gratification and pride, the extensive offers of voluntary service which 1 have received from my subjects. This manifesta tion of public spirit has added an important ele ment to our system of National Defence. Measures will be laid before you for amending the laws which regulate the Representation of the people in Parliament, and for placing that Repre sentation upon a broader and firmer basis. I earnestly recommend you to resume your labours for the improvement of our Jurisprudence, and particularly in regard to Bankruptcy, the Transfer of Land, the Consolidation of the Statutes, and such a further fusion of Law and Equity as may be necessary to insure that, in every suit, the rin '? thts of the parties ma y b e sa ti s f ac t or ily deter mined by the Court in which the suit is commenced. I am deeply gratified to observe that the great interests or. the country are generally in a sound and thriving condition ; that pauperism and crime have diminislxn , l; and that., throughout the whole of my Empire, both in the United Kingdom and in my Colonies and Possessions beyond sea, there reigns a spirit of loyalty, of contentment, of order, and of obedience to the law. With heartfelt gratitude to the Almighty Ruler of Nations for these inestimable blessing's, I fer vently pray that his beneficent power may guide your deliberations for the advancement and con solidation of the welfare and happiness of my people. Earl FITZ WILLIAM rose to move a humble address to her Majesty in answer to her most gra cious Speech from the Throne. The noble lord said in moving the address, he did so with great diffidence, and begged the indulgence of their lordships while he acquitted himself of his duty, the more so as he saw around him so many noble lords better qualified than ho was for such an honour. The noble lord then pro ceeded to comment upon the principal topics in the Royal Speech, but in such a low tone of voice that s c arcely a word was audible in the gallery. He concluded by read ing the Address, which, as usual, was merely an echo of her Majesty's Speech. On the motion being put by the Loan CHANCELLOR, Lord TRURO said ho rose to second the motion. H e thought it must be highly satisfactory to their lordships t o hear that her Majesty continued in friendly relations with all the great foreign powers. The noble lord then referred to Italian affairs, and said that what ever circumstances had led to the postponement of the Congress for the settlement of one thing, he felt assured that the greatest efforts would be made by this country to obtain for the people of Italy freedom from all foreign interference. Another source of satisfaction was the course that had l a t e ly been adopted by the Emperor of the French in sub stituting a more enlightened commercial policy for the sys • tern of protection which had hitherto existed. The circum stances that had occurred inC hina were greatly to be regretted, but, although we had no doubt sustained a temporary re verse, he was 501144 that the ruattgr would not 1? oallowcd NEWSPAPER ....t ,, - 4f.f= :•:; - 4; ,- , , 0-\,.A.r, \,.A.r, . • • , •ti- - -40 - 5 ~,. . 1 _,," tt:.,.,, : u‘ .....„ to rest until we had received volu a ' ei . .-; redress.

(The noble lorT,7uririgThis Fad address, was as inaudible in the gallery as his predecessor.) Earl GREY—It appears to me that there is no part of the Address to which any of your lordships are likely to object; on the contrary, that the greater part of it, as of the Speechof which it is the echo. must have been heard by your lordships with very high satisfaetoin. We must all rejoice that her Majesty is able to congratulate us upon the gene rally prosperous condition of her people, and upon the well being of our fellow-countrymen, as shown by the diminu tion of pauperism and the state of trade ; upon the fact that the last embers of rebellion have boon extinguished in India; and upon the circumstance that the dispute with the United States respecting the island of San Juan is likely to be set tled amicably. (Hear, hear.) Above all, wa must have heard with great satisfaction—because upon thatpoint some of us might have entertained misgivings which are thus removed—the paragraph relating to Italian affairs and to the proposed congress. (Hear, hear.) I, for one, at least heartily thank her Majesty's Ministers for having advised her to inform us that she is determined to maintain the principle that no external force shall be ema loyed to im pose upon the people of Italy any particular government or constitution. (Hear, hear.) I rejoice to find that the Bri tisn Government is to be no party to any scheme for cutting and carving the territory of Italy according to the real or supposed interest of other Powers or of foreign princes, but that the right of the Italians themselves to settle to what farm of Government they shall submit is to be thus recog nised by her Majesty. I trust that, taking their stand upon this great principle, her Majesty's Government may suc ceed in conducting theso affairs to a satisfactory conclusion, and that we may have the happiness of seeing established in lialy a powerful, independent, gad free State. (Hear.) That I am certain is the conclusion which is most desirable for the Italians themselves, and which is also best calcu lated to promote the general welfare of Europe and that of this country. (Hear, hear.) One paragraph of the speech relating to a topic of foreign policy I have not, I confess, heard with so much satisfaction. I allude to the passage in which. her Majesty informs us that she is "in commu hlritiOn With the Malperor of the French witra view to extend the commercial intercourse between the two coun tries, and thus to draw still closer the bonds of friendly alliance between them." No man can desire more earnestly than myself that every obstacle to freer commercial inter course between England and France should be removed. It is greatly to be regretted that two great nations so well calculated to promote each other's welfare should have so little commercial intercourse, and that by artificial restric tions mutual trade, which might be so beneficial to both, should be restricted within such narrow limits. But, my lords, although I am most anxious to see an increase of commercial intercourse between the two countries, yet, if this passage in the Speech is meant to announce to us, as we are led to believe, that a treaty is to be entered into by which France and England shall mutually stipulate to lower their duties upon each other's productions, that, I think, will be an unfortunate step backward in our financial and commercial policy. To commercial treaties within their pro per limits there is no objection; but those limits are very narrow ones. Beyond providing that each nation shall treat the other with as much favour as it extends to any other nation, and a few ordinary stipulations of that kind, I knew of nothing which can properly be introduced into a com mercial treaty. When you stipulate as to the duties which each is to levy upon the productions of the other, you make a very great mistake indeed. I cannot forget that at the conclusion of the great revolutionary war it was I believe the opinion of almost every statesman of note that it would be a common benefit to the civilised world if all nations would remove the obstructions which arbitrary legislation opposed to their commercial intercourse with, each other. Unfortunately, with that opinion there prevailed this other —that in the removal of commercial restrictions the gain rested with the nation whose produce was admitted into the dominions of another, and that the maintenance of high import duties was beneficial to a people, provided their ex ports were not unduly taxed by their neighbours. Entering upon diplomatic intercourse with that notion, the various countries of Europe for more than a quarter of a century went on trying, with much fruitless expenditure of labour and ingenuity, to remove the restrictions which they had mutually imposed upon each other's trade. The spirit in which these negotiations were carried on was that which is so well described in Mr. Canning's well-known rhyming despatch : "In matters ofcommerce the fault of the Dutch . Is giving too little, and asking too much." That was the spirit in which each nation received the pro posal of its rival. All thought that too much was asked with respect to their admission of the produce of other coun tries, and that too little was conceded with respect to the admission of their own by othernations, and the consequence was that they were all disposed to act upon the principle laid down by Mr. Canning at the end of his despatch : " Nous frapperous Feick with twenty per cent." (A laugh.) These negotiations continued, as I have said, for nearly a quarter of a century, and ended by leaving the commercial intercererse of Europe more fettered, if possible, than it was at the beginning of that period. At length, my lords, this country adopted a wiser policy. (Hear, hear.) It came to the conclusion that it was contrary to common sense that we should punish ourselves because other nations refused to admit our productions to their markets ; that the wiser course for us would be to regulate our own duties ac cording to our commercial and financial interests, and to leave other nations to follow our example, or not, as they pleased, being convinced t hat if we opened our ports to foreign produce, it would, in some way or other be paid for, and the general prosperity of the country would be in creased. This policy was adopted at first with some timidity, but afterwards with greater Wildness, and was at length carried into complete effect by the repeal of the old Naviga tion Laws in 18f9. We know that this great experiment has been attended with a sneesss which has exceeded even the sang line expectations of its supporters. We have seen trade, manufactures, and every branch of the industry of the country improve with unexampled rapidity. We have seen 10 millions of duties repealed, while the revenue de rived from the Customs has not diminished. We have seen the welfare and general comfort of the people marvellously increase; and, lastly, we have seen other nations gradually begin, though with slow and hesitating steps, to follow our example. Those who are conversant with the commercial tariffs of Europe are aware that almost all nations have made some considerable improvement in their systems since we ceased to make their concessions preliminary to the im provement of our own legislation. Unhappily France is not aniong those nations. The tariff of France is to this day highly restrictive; but though I most earnestly desire that its tariff should be amended, I contend that it is a step backward—a departure from the wise and sound policy which we have for several years pursued, if in the commercial treaty with France there are any stipulations binding us to reduce the duties upon French produce in consideration of similar reductions in the duties upon British productions introduced into France. If there are any duties upon French produce which, consistently with our financial exigencies, we can afford to reduce, let them be reduced at once, and without stipulations. lam persuaded that this, as it is the most generous, is by far the best and wisest policy. Let any duties of that kind which you can afford to reduce be diminished, and with the least possible delay ; but, on the other hand, at the present moment, when the financial exi gencies of the country are likely to prove not a littl e oner ous, and not a little difficult to meet, I utterly protest against any reduction of duties upon French produce, which is not expedient and prudent with reference to our own financial condition, with the view and in the hope of obtaining relaxations of the commercial tariff of France. If France likes to maintain a restrictive tariff, she, and not we, will be the principal sufferer, and I am convinced that, though she may for a time defer the adoption of a wiser policy, it is utterly impossible that fhe should long continue to do so. She cannot do so without seeing herself out stripped in the race of improvement by every nation in Europe, and finding herself far behind the comparative pro sperity of those countries which are wise enough to adopt a system of commercial freedom. Knowing, as I do, the intelligence of the French people, I am persuaded it is im possible that they can long witness the effects of their pre sent system without discovering the prudence of changing it. lam aware it has been sagthat, though general policy is opposed to,commercial treaties, still it is expedient to de part from it in the case of France, because in that country there is so strong a feeling in favour of protection that even the great power of the Emperor is unable to carry out an improvement of its commercial system unless the people can be reconciled to it by gaining some immediate advan tage in return. My lords, that reasoning seems to be based on:an entire mistake. I firmly believe that in France, ts g I ° l de equivalentt lal under its present or any other form of Government, public o opinion will in the end prevail in regard to legislation of this kind ; and I am convinced that public opinion is far less likely to be enlisted in favour of a sound commercial system if it is put to the people that they are to consent to the introduction of certain foreign goods, and to the admission of competition in respect to certain' articles,o for the sake of securing some corresponding benefits themselves. It will be represented, and very tnilY ha ke their repre sented to France, that what she can gain by any be so which we may make in our financial policy,ow in the trifling compared with the effect of any real reform French tariff as to be totally to inadequatP. compensate her for her concessions.

But there is another portion of the Speech with respect to which I regret to say I cannot adopt the same course. In the paragraph which refers to the late catastrophe in China, and to the moasutes which her Majesty's Ministers have taken in consequence, there is undoubtedly manifested a very laudable desire on the part of the Government not pre maturely to pledge the house to any opinion on some most important points. They do not, as my noble friend who seconded the Address observed, ask us to express any opie nion as to the conduct of the Chinese, or as to their having been guilty of any treachery of which we have a right to complain. They have no doubt purposely and studiously refrained from doing that. But there is ono respect in which it appears to me that the passage does commit the house to an admission which it ought not to make. We are asked to thank her Majesty for having informed us of what has happened, and of the preparations which are making for the sending out of an expedition to China. My lords, by so thankingher Majesty, and taking no notice ofthe delay which has occurred in bringing this subject under the consideration. of Parliament, the house does clearly admit that it has no right to complain of that delay. I for one cannot consent to make such an admission, even by inference, because I believe that by acknowledging her Majesty's Government are not to blame for having failed to bring this question at an earlier period under the notice of Parliament the house would sur render one of its most important rights end privileges, To the crown it beluga by the Goileitutioa to conduct the rola- THE ARMY. The whole of the troops of the line and militia in garrison at Portsmouth are undergoing a course of instruction at the great gun drill in the different batteries of the fortifications. Each regiment re ceives its course of instruction by companies, each company being drilled for six consecu t i ve days by non-commissioned officers of the Royal Artillery. The object sought to be attained is not to render the men practically acquainted with artillery, but to give them a sufficient knowledge of the:mode of working guns of position to render them a valuable aid to the regular artillery on any sudden emer gency. _ _ A Board of the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital will assemble at Chatham on Friday next for the inspection of those non•commissioned officers and men of the various cavalry and infantry regiments ,who have recently arrived, wounded and disabled, at the invalid establishment from India and the colonies, and those troops who aro found to be un fit for further service will be granted their dis charge. 71118 DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was scantily supplied with English wheat. The few fine samples on offer changed hands freely, at prices fully equal to Monday; but other kinds were very dull, at barely late rates. There was a slight improvement in the demand for foreign wheat; but the amount of business done was by no means extensive, at full prices. Floating cargoes supported late rates.
