ON TRUE and FALSE SPERIVTATORRIICEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFOILD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. 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 squally 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 scandalous 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. Pickfbrd ; 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.

ONE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD ON CONVICTION. The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, pon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of (7hancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper Nevill, and his agents, under a penalty of £6,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction. An intelligent public requires no admonition to shun all shopkeepers who may attempt impositions.

THE GREAT EASTERN. Subjoined is an amended offer made yesterday by Mr. Lever to charter the Great Eastern. No an swer has yet been received, unless the statement made by the company on the 17th inst., " that the ship is not open for charter at present," is to be considered definitive : (Copy.) " London, Aug. 25. "Dear Sir,—l have not yet been favoured with an official answer to my letter of the 19th inst., and as time now presses I am desired by Mr. Lever to make a final offer, which I shall be glad if you will at once lay before your Board. " For the sake of clearness I will state the proposal as now submitted, viz.:— " 1. The owners to effectually work and man the ship, and provide everything except coals, port charges, and pro visions for the passengers. "2. The ship to have complete accommodation for not less than 600 first, 500 second, and 1,000 third-class pas. • sengers. "3. The ship to be at her port of departure ready for sea in the month of September next. The charterers to have 30 days' previous notice, or such other number of days as may be eventually agreed upon. "4. The charterers to have the entire use of the vessel, and to pay for the hire thereof the sum of £25,000 sterling in cash, upon signing the formal charter party. "5. Thirty working lay days to be allowed for all pur poses. "6. This offer is subject to the vessel steaming upon her trial trip 14 knots per hour. " 7. Should any contingencies arise during the continu ance of the charter, and the interest of the charterers be prejudiced thereby, and should any difference of opinion arise thereon, the settlement shall be referred to the chair man of Lloyds, or any other party mutually agreed upon on signing the charter party, whose decision shall be final and binding upon both parties. " Mr. Lever wishes your Board to clearly understand that this offer, subject to such modifications in its details as may be mutually agreed to, is final, and must be taken as his ultintatum. " As I understand your Board will meet this day, this offer is subject to an answer not later than 12 o'clock to morrow (Friday). " I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, C. CAPPER. " J. H. Yates, Esq., Secretary, Great Ship Company (Limited). " P.S. Should there be no berths for third-class passen gers Mr. Lever will fit up at his own cost whatever number of berths may be required." The following is the letter which accompanied the offer made by Mr. Lever, through Mr. Capper, to the Great Ship Company, for chartering the vessel on her first passage across the Atlantic : " 40, Cannon-street East, London, E.C., Aug. 25. " Dear Sir,—l am desirous that you should place before the directors of tho Great Ship Company a few facts for their consideration in reference to the final offer I have this day authorised you to Make. No practical man would for a moment contemplate so great an undertaking as to charter the Great Eastern unless he could command great and pe culiar advantages, which I think I must be acknowledged to possess. These consist : " 1. In having a fleet of steam ships ready to take the place of the Great Eastern should an unforeseen accident happen to the untried ship. I refer to the vessels now advertised by me in connection with the Great Eastern, by Messrs. Bake, Adam, and Co. " Are the directors aware that in case of an accident the shareholders would be responsible for the detention and conveyance of passengers from any port, either in the out ward or homeward trip ? " 2. To make this trip a profitable one, or rather to save the shareholders from loss, a machinery of an extensive character must be set in motion which cannot be impro vised. I allude to securing passengers and making all the necessary preliminary arrangements that would give confi- , dence to the public, security to the voyage, and a certainty d profit to the shareholders. Have the directors of the Great Eastern all these preliminary arrangements at their command ? Have they a fleet of steamers ready to take up and carry out their engagements with the passengers should the necessity arise ? Have they a net-work of booking arrangements, for passengers bath in Europe, Canada, and tho United tes ? Are they prepared to sustain a loss on the voyage isilould they fail in these particulars ? 2 •` Let me now point out some of the msnetary provisions of the proposed charter which I contemplate 1. My offer for charter in cash is 2. Coals out and home near 6,000 3. AdvertisinginGreatßritainandontheContinent 2,500 in United States and the North American colonies 4. Brokers' commission in Europe 1,250 in America 1,250 Provisions for passengora Insurance of passage money out and home 7,500 Port charges and contingent expenses Fittings for third-class berths £59,000 —Say £59,000 sterling. " 1 may further remark that Mr. Jackson himself men tioned to me that he had seen it stated in the papers that I was going to take the ship to Quebec ; pray disabuse his mind as to that matter. On referring to my offer he will find that I stated the ship should be sent 'from a safe port' to 'a safe port.' Now, it is clear that I could not safely send that ship into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and that there fore, I could not mean Quebec. Again, I beg to say I did not require the ship to average 14 knots, but merely to make 14 knots on her trial trip, which, it must be confessed, is only a moderate speed compared with what is expected from her, viz., 20 knots. Mr. Jackson, however, stated, in my interview with him, that if I had only bound the ship to make 11 knots it would have been just the same. "As the American autumnal traffic is returning, allow me to add that unless I have the ship within two days as sured to me for the purpose of advertising, which would of course be at my own risk, I could not offer half the sum which I have done. Time is just now all iniportant.—l am, dear sir, very faithfully yours, " J. 0. LEVER. "Charles Capper, Esq." The day is now fast approaching when the great question of the success of this noble vessel as a kind of ocean railway will be finally set at rest. This afternoon is the last occasion when the public will be admitted on board, as the whole of next week will be entirely devoted to getting her ready for sea. The works that yet remain to be completed are, generally speaking, matters of minor detail, all of .which, however, will require a certain time for ex ecution, though not more than three or four days of next week will be amply sufficient to accomplish. Among the other things that have yet to be done are making the necessary openings in the bulk heads to coal into the bunks over the boilers. Wa• tertight doors have also to be put to the openings in the main tunnels running fore and aft the ship from the engine-rooms. The capstan deck forward has also to be planed, the entire deck caulked, and an access made to the bearing for the screw shaft. Some kitchens have to he fitted up, and cooking ranges fixed, and several of the cabins to be painted and furnished. Accommodation is also ordered to be prepared for 450 passengers to dine in the 80 feet saloon aft. Several berths have yet to be fixed, and 150 additional sofas provided. The yards have also to be crossed and the sails bent, and the steer ing apparatus to be fixed in place and tested. All these items seem to make a vast amount of work yet to be done, but this is so only in appearance. Al most all these details belong to different depart ments, and all can be going forward without hin drance at the same time. If it was necessary, not the least doubt is felt that as far as these matters are concerned the ship could be made ready for sea in from 24 to 36 hours at furthest. The new steering apparatus will, perhaps, take a few days to fix and regulate. This simple but most ingenious invention is due to Mr. Langley, the shipbuilder of Deptford. By means of this Cap tain Harrison, or the officer of the watch on the bridge, will be enabled to steer the ship by a signal indicator with as much certainty as if he guided the wheel himself. A small illuminated dial, with a moveable index, is fixed on the bridge, in front of the officer of the watch, and connected with an other of the same description in front of the men at the helm. Moving the index finger of the machine on the bridge to port or starboard moves the index of the machine before the helm at the same time, so that not a second is lost in putting the helm hard up or down. In the same manner the rudder itself is connected with another small dial before the helmsmen, which tells by its index that they have exactly obeyed orders, while this again communi cating with a similar machine on the bridge shows the officer of the watch the instant his commands are executed. The movements of the latter dial being, of course, regulated by those of the rudder, the officer on duty has always the helm, as it were, under his eye, and can detect if the men suffer the vessel to deviate a quarter of a point from her course even for a second. The apparatus, moreover, pos sesses another advantage, and that is, that simply moving over the index finger to hard aport opens up two red lights on the port side. and by turning it to starboard a double green one is similarly dis played. Thus small vessels are afforded every faci lity for getting out of the monster's way in her im petuous rush over the deep. Crossing the yards and PRICE 4 D . STAMPED, SD• bending on the sails will be commenced on Monday. Like the wooden masts, all t he yards have been fur nished by Mr. Ferguson, and they are probably the . finest spars of the kind ,which have ever left that gentleman's yard. • With all sails set the total spread of canvas will be about 4,800 square yards, and with a strong breeze on the quarter this would suffice without any other aid to drive the Great Eastern through the water at the rate df some 15 knots an hour at least. It is not anticipated, however, that she will ever require much assistance from her canvass, or. that sails will be hoisted with dri3 4 other view than that for which 'are • generally used in fast sea , going steamers,—namely, that of making a strong. draught down into the engine -rooms and furnaces. All the arrangements now making on board the ship are with the view of starting her on the morn-, ins of the 3d proximo. On that day, at 6 a.m.s. she is intended to leave. her .moorings for the firs t •' time. Four powerful tugs will take charge of hee —two towing ahead and two pulling astern. Th • latter are thus placed to help the gigantic vessel to turn in those sharp angles of the river which occur just below Greenwich Hospital and just above Blackwall ; the Great Eastern herself will also be under steam in her paddle engines, which if occasion requires, can 'be turned round to assist the tugs. From Graveserid to the Nore the aid of the tugs will be merely nominal; if used at all. At the Nore two or three days will probably be consumed in adjusting compasses and filling in with coal. The latter will bring her down to a fair seagoing trim,—that is to say, a little over 10 feet deeper in the water than she now appears. The slightest possible addition will be made to her present draught of water till the Nore is reached. , From the Nore she proceeds under easy steam to Port land, and receives her passengers for the first trial trip, returning afterwards to Holyh ea d, f rom w hi c h harbour she arts on her trial trip to Canada on or about the 15th. , The number of visitors who have inspected the vessel during this week and last has been very large, the amount realised by the company on the admission fees being upwards of £4,000. Early on Wednesday morning the Prince do .Toinville made a minute inspection of the vessel, and ex pressed his opinion that she was one of the most wonderful specimens of engineering and scientific skill that human ingenuity had ever constructed. Speaking of her general equipment the Prince ex pressed an almost equally strong opinion in favour of Mr. Trotman's anchors, and said that he attri buted the safety of several French vessels-of-war which were anchored off the coast of Algelip. in a tremendous gale entirely to the use of smaller anchors of the same patent. The Grand Duke Constantine is expected:to visit the ship early next week. An immense number of applications for berths • during the trial trip have already been received by the secretary of the company, with a proportionate number for cabins during the voyage to Canada. All the nonsense that one time pervaed the public mind about the vessel being too large to be safe, has apparently long since disappeared, and in its stead has sprung up a confidence in her strength and speed, which, though great, is not an atom more than the noble vessel really deserves. In truth, all the objections which were at one time made to her were only the same old stories which have been used every time these ten years against every large vessel in turn, and any time these 1,000 years against improvements of all kinds, from burning sea coal to lighting the streets with gas, or crossing them with locomotives. The grumbling mechanical objections of nautical men of the old school exploded months ago, and the doubts of those who feared her as a commercial success seem to be fast going with them. One of the great complaints under this head • used to be that the Great Eastern would at least require a month or six weeks to coal. Well, it is now seen that her steam cranes can coal her to the extent of 10,000 tons in less than 48 hours. Another great objec tion with the opponents of large ships was, that this one could never get a cargo, or, if she did, it would swamp the market to which it was con signed. When these arguments are fairly weighed against the extent of our trade with the East, and its gigantic annual increase, they appear literally almost a4surcl. Even as late as 1861 — s-ream commu nication 'with China and other parts of the East was in its infanoy. There was then only one mail service a month. In 1852 this was made a fort nightly communication, and now, although there is one a-week, the demand for steam freight and pas sage is very greatly in excess of the supply. In 1851, when this new system was first originated, the trade to the East in outward tonnage only amounted to 452,852 tons. In 1858 it amounted to 946,503 tons, or nearly double. The value of this export trade has increased in the same short interval in the same immense proportion, being now with Australia £10,000,000 per annum, and with India £18,000,000, exclusive of bullion. The export trade with China from this country does not so correctly indicate its true value, as much of the tea and silk is paid for by the cotton and opium sent from India. Yet the value of the silk and tea imported from China is, like the India trade, double now what it was in 1851, and is probably little under £15,000,000. If, then, the trade with the East generally has increased at this tremendous rate in seven years, when railways were not com menced, what may not fairly be anticipated when the fast progressing lines are completed in India, Ceylon, and Australia, and when the new treaties with China and Japan begin to bear fruit ? The monthly clearances of vessels to the East are about 80,000 tons, so that vessels like the Great Eastern leaving England once a-month could only carry one-tenth of the existing trade, and probably not more than one-fifteenth of what it will be in a couple of years hence. But six Great Easterns would be necessary to enable one to leave England once a-month, and as yet we have only one Great Eastern afloat, or even thought of. With such plain facts as these, what becomes of the objection that a ship which can do the long sea voyage to India in 30 days will not get a cargo ? As to swamp ing the markets of India, China, and Australia, with 8,000 tons, which is only the cargo of one large vessel to each place, the idea is simply ridiculous. Persons are apt to forget when they speak of the India and China market, that it means supplying the wants of 200,000,000 of people, and that two vessels like the Great Eastern always loaded and going backwards and forwards as fast as they could run would hardly supply those mar kets with nankeens and printed calicoes alone. The only question that has now to be solved is that of her speed. A few days more will settle this, and if the ship only realises what the least sanguine of her admirers expect, the Great Eastern will prove a triumph as great in a commercial point of view as she is already in an engineering and scientific one. THE GREAT EASTERN AND THE PATENT DERRICK. Yesterday the small derrick belonging to the Patent Derrick Company was employed to hoist the whole of the yards and the principal gaffs of the great ship. These spars, manufactured by Messrs. Ferguson, of Millwall, are considered to be the largest of their respective kinds ever constructed on the Thames or elsewhere. The mainyards are 124 feet in length, 33 inches in diameter at their thickest part, and weigh from 15 to 17 tons. These enormous spars were launched and hoisted to their required positions during the brief space of a single day, by means of the remarkable facilities for handling heavy weights afforded by the der rick. The operations, in so far as the Great Eastern was concerned, were conducted by Mr. Westborpe, to whom the rigging of the ;vessel is entrusted, while the direction of the derrick's hoisting powers devolved upon Mr. A. D. Bishop, the inventor of the machine. The proceedings were watched with great interest by Mr. Campbell the chairman of the company, Mr. Herbert Ingram, and other of the directors, as well as by Captain Harrison , the com mander, Mr. Yates, the secretary, and many influ ential persons intimately connected with the pro gress of mercantile marine affairs, among whom were conspicuous Mr. G. F. Young, Captain Com stock, Mr. J. S. Oakford, &c. The time occupied by the derrick in hoisting the largest yard to a height of nearly 80 feet, after the operation of slinging had been performed, was less than two minutes. The n ovel application of the principle of the lever, introduced by the inventor of the derrick, enables the machinery while raising its load to run it in or out, backwards or forwards, to any desired po i n t. By this arrangement the derrick was not only enabled to hoist the yards over the ship's side, but also to span the Great Eastern's deck amid ships, and hand her spars to the purchases rigged on board the vessel to receive them--a feat which neither crane nor shears on the Thames could ac complish. The visitors who, owing to the weather's un favourable aspect throughout the day, were not so numerous as usual, appeared to take great interest in watching the arrangements, the results of which decidedly impart to the Great Eastern's rig a more ship-like appearance. The fr_ temporary : Sir,—lt may be interesting to the public to learn, through the medium of your columns, that one of the greatest works of engineering science—the Vic toria (St. Lawrence) 'Bridge, at Montreal—is now within a very short stage of completion, and the close of the present " fall" will witness the opening of that magnificent bridge. The Grand Trunk Railway, which traverses 1,200 miles of the richest parts of Upper and Lower Canada, connecting as it does the different depen dencies of the British crown, is indeed a great boon to that country, yet without the connectinc , link between the north and south s h ores o f the St.°Law rence; this railway is very.imperfect. The St. Lawrence is for five mouths out of the year frozen up, and all communication with Canada by ships or steamboats is entirely suspended during that period. The intercourse with the United States, at that period also, is of the most frigid character; but when this all-important bridge is opened, the Grand Trunk Railway will command tne whole external intercourse of. Canada. The tide of immigration which sets in chiefly through the Unit e d States will then pass along that railway. In fine, the Victoria-bridge will be the means of changing the hitherto almost imprisoned and frigid life of the Canadian to one of freedom and geniality. For a long time the difficulties of bridging the St. Lawrence were deemed all but insurmountable; the width between its shores, even at the narrowest crossing, being very considerable, the velocity of the current very great, and the' headway and water way required for the navigation of steam vessels and huge rafts of timber were also extensive ; but far more formidable than all these was the effect of the." breaking up of the ice." This phenomenon, in itself one of tie mo4.wonderful operations in nature, has been the theme of various writers, and sad are some accounts of its terrible force. The whole field of ice, extending nine miles in length and of the entire breadth of the river, to a ,depthof from three to five feet, becomes one floating mass. Its velocity, though slow at first, increases to a frightful extent through the influence of the melt ing snow, until it " breaks up," when the detached masses are driven with fearful violence against any impediment, and, when effectually obstructed, it " packs" layer upon layer to the height of fifty to sixty feet. Buildings are prostrated by the " shoves," and disasters of a most alarming nature frequently occur ; indeed, so rapidly does the pack ing take place that vessels near the shore have been frequently buried and crushed. dAnbalorgtiN gl ev dlgtji Montreal just ol h atii e bhsl i oiad i t,utohwtr:vstaNiosl have to from bteo h oi e , ei fo rce crtobhnee prlseeintt withstand.thata edt r ne,s withot ah Vet, in ddipn. piersrnsrapfeni Prepara tions y o te f ea t ls h eon e of this difficulty, a bridge has been devised, and is suc cess too ; and in two or three months from the pre sent time a ceremony will probably take place in on a grand scale are in contemplation for the opening, and the city, it is expected will be inun- - are expected from this side the Atlantic. While reflecting on the magnitude of this im portant work, and the skill that must have been brought to bear upon it, we turn naturally towards the author of so great an undertaking, and we find that the same mind that conceived a means of overcoming the difficulties of - bridging the Menai Straits has also solved the difficulties of the St. Lawrence. To Mr. Robert Stephenson is due the honour not only of designing. the Victoria-bridge, but of determining the possibility and applicability of a bridge at all across the St. Lawrence. lie visited Canada in 1853, on purpose to make him self conversant with all the facts necessary to form an opinion, and he decided that a bridge was prac ticable, and having disposed of the more unimpor tant difficulties enumerated, he did not flinch from the task of contending with the ice. He well con sidered the different schemes proposed by various parties to resist this moving mass, most of which were similar to those adopted in Norway, the struc tures being composed of framed timber ; but Mr. Stephenson rejected them, because he had deter mined—while designing such a stupendous bridge as that across the St. Lawrence must of necessity be—to make it durable in every sense, and there fore ice breakers of timber were discarded on ac count of the perishable nature of the material, and the belief he had that timber would offer but a frail resistance to the moving ice. In this last respect his views have been carried out to a verity, for in the timber temporary breakwaters and cofferdams used by the contractor during the construction of the bridge, the effect of the ice has been singularly destructive. Whole balks have been disintegrated into mere fibres, and the.pores of the timber have been frozen through and impregnated with ice. Mr. Stephenson determined upon the adoption of stone for the piers and icebreakers, the latter form ing a part of the former, and being in the form of sloping cutwaters on the up-stream side, their fronts presenting an angular face to the ice. The object of this arrangement was not to stop, or defy the ice, but to coax it as it were, to climb to the top, when the overbearing sides of its mass would gravitate, parting it in the middle, and the two halves would pass harmlessly away through the openings. This very effect has already taken place proving Mr. Stephenson's theory to be again cor rect, and during the four years the bridge has been in course of construction the stone ice-breakers have stood the severest test of the " breaking-up" without injury. The superstructure, Which is to the spectator the most interesting object, is similar in construction in almost every respect to the Britannia-bridge, the difference being that while the centre Britannia tube is 460 feet span the central span. of the Vic toria-bridge is 330 feet, all the others being 242 feet. The Victoria tubes also differ from the Bri tannia in not being constructed on the cellular principle ; indeed they are the largest tubular beams ever constructed without cells. But the great total length of the Victoria-bridge is its striking peculiarity. There will be a line of iron tubing a mile' and a quarter in length, stretching from shore to shore. This immense iron viaduct, even in its present incomplete state, viewed from either side, or better still from the river, is truly magnificent. The effect of these twenty-five strides across the broad St. Lawrence is difficult to realise—and is alone worth a voyage across the Atlantic. One peculiar circumstance connected with this great work, which is worth bringing before your readers, as it forms an example of the advancement of science at the present day, is, that all the details were arranged here, the designs being made under Mr. Robert Stephenson's own eye, and the whole being carried out under the supervision of his relative, Mr. George Robert Stephenson, who at tended not only to the designs and construction of the tubes, but even to the manufacture of the iron at the various ironworks. Elaborate drawings were made by that gentleman, and the dimensions and strains for every plate and piece of iron were calculated and given by him. The tubes were made at Birkenhead, every plate being punched in readiness, in fact all being done in this country ex cept the permanent rivetting, so that nothing but skilled labour was required in Canada to sort out the parts already marked, and permanently rivet them together. So determined was Mr. Stephenson to carry out this work successfully that he undertook the management of it in all its details in this country, indeed so much so that neither contractors' nor en gineers' accounts in Canada or in England were paid by the board of directors without his or Mr. George Robert Stephenson's signature, so that the world will have to look to Mr. Robert Stephenson as being responsible for the success of this great en terprise; and it is believed that the world ge t b h y us this time is sufficiently acquainted wi yi t e :i sbste h ian i r m i im n pl e i g ci a t rd tr i u n s g t t i h n e h p is ro s p k o il r l ti a o n n d so j f ud th g e m h en ri t a t n t l t h e te d e or e a s t p t t t l r n ia t nc h g e e e: va de scribednasdtnyeosusproerfrehtsandpeesrfsaolvlfoielwwl np fi gr g o u ha r au e ha s lny m t i a bt Imre. The masonry in the piers, ice breakers, and abut ments, amounts to nearly 3,000,000 cubic feet, a quantity which would cover an acre of ground piled solidly to a height of about 64 feet, and its weight 220,000 tons. The iron in the tubes, weighing about 9,000 tons, is held together by upwards of a million and a half of rivets. To Mr. Alexander M. Ross, who was app?inted resident engineer to the bridge, great credit is due, he having specially devoted himself to the masonry ; to Mr. Hodges also, who has most efficiently and honourably, from the commencement, represented the contractors, Messrs. Peto, Brassey, and Betts, and on whom h as d e volved the principal responsi bility of the work ; likewise to Mr. Stockman, who in the early part of the present year went to upon Bidder, to in C a a n k a e d a a , f a a i o n m s p p e a cntiieodn and repo rt the works emi nently calculated to satisfy the minds of the engi neers and the public. It may be thought by some of your readers that this statement is somewhat premature, as the bridge is not actually completed ; but though incomplete, it is of such vast importance that this notice of its approaching opening will afford a great opportunity to those who may be able and desirous of making a transatlantic voyage in time for that ceremony ; and a voyage to America coupled with such an ob ject would be to many too great a treat to lose, and the opportunity, if let slip, would be ever after iv gretted.—l am, &c., CIVIL ENGINEER.
