ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRWEA ; with the Vie w 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. PICKFORD. " 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 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 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."—Medircal Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, thfr.t we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate Twice at which the 'brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the.matter."— Dublin Medical Pres:s.

The Proprietors be most respectfully to call the attention of the trade, noblemen, clergy, &c., and the public in general, to their extensive stock of Choice Wines, of rare vintages. Bunnows and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun tries, as the increasing Patronage of the highest families in the land is a sufficient guarantee. They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonic Wines, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak stomac'.s. A sample ease, containing, three full-sizsd wine bottles, will be forwarded to any address on receipt of P. 0.0. for 6s. 6d., or a dozen for 248. t is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the stomach, and debilitating the d'gestive organs, while pure wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating, strengthening, and bracing the nervous system. Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties are duly acknowledged and appreciated by the leading men of the faculty, both at home and abroad. To prevent imposition each bottle is sealed with the name of the firm.

A very enthusiastic meeting in furtherance of the establishment of .a rifle corps at this place was held last week., Mr. W. J. S. Morritt, of Rokeby, was , in the chair, 'being ably . seconded by a large num ber of the gentry and clergy 'of the district. The chairman, afpr, explaining the conditions and other matters for geueral information, announced that he intended to proVide a practice grOUnd and targets, and to'subscribe £2O. Mrs. Merritt would give £5; and n o doubt many other gentlemen and ladies would follow their example. The Rev. T. Witham, of Lartington, also made wdonation of £2O, and other gentlemen came forward with lesser amounts. A committee was organised, and the name "Bar nard Castle Rifles," was changed to " Teesdale Vo lunteer Rifles." " We hailed with the heartiest syhipathy, your lordship's loud and solemn protest' at Aberdeen (on occasion of your acceptance of the freedom of that city, September 28, 1859), against any, inter ferenceliy foreign force' to prevent the Italians from ' having their own Government,' tind ebriductiq:. their affairs as they like,' and becoming, the free citizens of a free country.' Your lordship is re ported to have said that if there should be a Con gress of the Powers of Europe, ' . we might assist only upon one condition—viz , that with respect to the using of foreign force, in order to compel those conditions of' peace, whatever they may 'be, to be enforced, so as to interfere with the right of ttie people of these countries to manage their own con cerns—that .if such is the object, or may be the 're sult -of such a Congress, England must stand apart and take no concern in it;' and we therefore hope fully conclude that the fact of her Majesty's Go vernment consenting total:* part in the Congress is a sign that the just rights of a great people are not to be yutraged or destroyed. . " We noiv venture to address your lordship to give you the clearest asssurance that in the main tenance of the principles enunciated at Aberdeen you will be supported by this great community, and also, as we firmly believe, by the nation at large. We accept gladly as the guiding law of the foreign policy of our country your lordship's declaration :he different States of Eurve should be in ' idont, that (in your lordslkip'§ own words) they sho - lild luau:l,7 their own concerns, and that no ore State 'should have - a — metionderauce in Europe, no matter what should •he the constitutions or the internal Governinent rest.' WC assure your lordship that the pracift4l Maintenance of this principle, in its application to the affairs of Italy, will add the gratitude of an Italian nation to the gratitude felt by your c0m1.., trymen for yourserviee-s unto them, anu will join to the gratitude of Britain and Italy the admit ing; respect of every lover Of , freedom in the world at . . _ ' . .„ large. . -: . "-In times of anxious difficulty like the present,', 'it cannot 'lit . strengthen 'the hands of a British Statesman if the world knows that he possesSes . the confidence of the people, the Maititenance of Whose' honour. :he ,holds in charge. j. Such confidence we now express. You yourself declared ' the indepen- • dence of the several - States of - Europe an .object Avhich Great Britain ought to feel a synipathy far and an interest in.' ' Feeling such symisithy • and interest, we trust your lordship wiltlsfretch ,to the, utmost the influence of Britain at the (;omilig Con greSs to procure the withdrawal of all foreign troops whatsoever from Italian soii. Seldom in history .. has people so soddenly proved itself adetivate to • thr: task 'of self-government as have thelialians in recent times-7seldoin in history has so clear a . way been opened for, the spread of religious liberty over , a land long held in. , spiritual b on d, ac ; and foreign intcyvention has no excuse to pleat!, fQr it has no.. wrong to redress and no f.)leSliing to bestow. " We believe, 'moreover, the issue of the Congress a matter not merely or Italian but European ans ment. What safety can any State possess if its internal affairs arc subject to the decision of a Con- , gress? If the States of Central Italy are to be en forced to act against their own recorded convic tions, why may no any other States be compelled io exist under like subordination to a few pars- - mount . PoWers ? It is the great question of Euro pean liberty itself which is now at stake. I ." Finally, we would express our. hope that your lordship's- influence will be exerted to prevent un due delay in the proceedings of the Congress as tending to complicate still more dangerously the ifliculties of a land in whose past-history civilised urope has a garteful interest—a land bounteously lessed by Providence, but too long unh a ppy through the misrule of men not native to its soil, and not rejoicing in its freedom or its glory. "With high respect we remain your Lordship's faithful obedient servants." The memorial is being very, respectably and numerously signed. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, DEC. 19.

ONE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD ON CONVICTION. - The fearful danfers to invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA • LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chaneery granted an injunction restraining 'Alfred Hooper Nevill, and his agents, under a penalty of £5,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta, Arabica, of which gi yhich we are the sole pro prietors.

PRICE OF GOLD.— The quotation of gold at Par - p is about d, and the short exchange on London is 2.5.ib per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng lish Mint pri ce of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is at about 2-10ths per cont. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on Loudon is 13.32 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint p r i ce i s th er efore about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 1091 I per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex chinge is about at par ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of interest, the present rate leaves no profit on the importation of geld from Oa* United States.

A great portion of her cabin room has been removed, a new poop and forecastle built, r and her engines overhauled to make her complete t Or the voyage. On her arrival at Hong Kong she will discharge her cargo, and remain at the clispos:l.l of the ship ping authorities for the conveyance ti the troops to various destinations. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steaxusloop Hecate and the Princess Alice, on completion of repairs at Woolwich, were yesterday hauled vat of basin and steamed down the river on an envineer's trial of machinery. The steam storeship S's pply yesterday proceeded to Deptford to ship victuri,:ling stores, and the Rhadamanthas entered the omter basin to em bark boilers and steam gear for thet western yards. The screw steamship Nile, 90, Captain Wilmot, arrived at Plymouth on Sunday )tight. She left Queenstown on Saturday last, at .1) a.m., with the paddlewheel steamship Hydra, 6, Commamdar Hamilton, and when . off the Land"fi End the Hydra took the Nile in tow, but cast hea• off again, and, after a short interval, renewed th.e. duty, and took her into the Sound.

On arrival the screw steamship Royal Alb( art, 121, Captain Lacon, flag of Admiral Sir Charle a H. Fremantle, will probably leave for Plymouth.. VOLUNTEER CO RP& DALSTON. Last evening a numerously attemaled meeting was held at Albion-hall, Albion-square,„ Dalston, for the purpose of taking steps to promote the formation of a volunteer rifle corps for Dalston and its vicinity. Mr. Ayrton, M.P., presided. The CH i AIRMAN, n opening the 'proceedings said, often as he had attended meeting s in that institu tion, he had never attended a mor a important one. For some years past we had believed in the naval superiority of England, but at tbJe present time a totally new set of ideas had taken 'possession of the public mind. He did not mentiom the subject of rifle corps for the first time, as a lbw months back he called attention to the state of our foreign rela tions. The Press had done an immense service to the country by the interest it had exhibited in the state of our national defences. Whsle our navy was suffered to go into d ecay , t h e F rench had year b y year been increasing theirs ; and i t was with pro found astonishment that we learnt that the French navy was superior to ours, and it w us only then we commenced to look upon France w rith doubt. He did not believe that by writing to foreign Powers we could ascertain their intentions, as assurances given upon paper might be hollow. He considered that we ought to have a commission to inquire into the state of our defences. It was 1114 lily necessary that we should take steps to put ourselves into a proper state of defence, as instances . b.adbeen known of the French taking advantage of :an oppOrtunity and capturing our vessels in the C tunnel ; but at present it was a great deal easier, for steam had bridged the Channel over ; it coulkl be soon done by small steamers sailing every ho o r or so, and if ue invading force once obtained a :footing on our shores, no man could tell what :crmy might be landed, or what force it would take to oppose its lauding. He did not wish to creata, alarm, but it was his firm opinion that our standing army was not strong enough to defend our sh 3 res. He hoped sincerely that this great movement would not vanish with the excitement of thie moment, but would became a permanent institutilon of the coun try. With respect to the uniforms of rifle corps, he was of opinion that they shoulil be plain and inexpensive. Volunteers did not require a gaudy uniform. Time enough for the unitform when war was about to commence. He concl tided by observ ing that the working men of Eng land had taken very little notice of the great n vement. This was very unsatisfactory. A great deal of mischief was being done to the movement by exclusive corps. He should like to see the working men of England join heartily in the moves o ent. He would advise them not to degrade their cocrps by electing officers who had a little more moitey than others, but to elect officer* of military worth. A letter was then read from Mr.. Butler, M.P., stating that he was most anxious f, trr the formation of rifle corps in every parish in the Tower Hamlets. He considered it better to avoid fa racy names, such as Albert, Wellington, Combermer e, &c. The following resolution was them moved by the Rev. Mr. MYERS, seconded by Mr. AYSHFORD, and carried unanimously : , 4 That this meeting considers it desiraible to form a Dal ston Rifle Corps, and pledges itself to prc)mote the same." A considerable number of names having been en rolled, and subscriptions anneuncs)d, the proceed ings closed with a cordial vote ocf thanks to the chairman. NORTH LONDO:Si. The five companies appointed b y the Lord-Lieu tenant for the Northern District of London have amalgamated under the title of the North London ltifle Volunteers. An influential c ouncil is formed, and will shortly be announced. The 4th and sth companies are now in an advanced state of drill at Angle's Riding school, and the 4th. has received the proportion of rifles allowed by Go‘rernment. LONDON IRISH. Yesterday a meeting of the wo eking committee was held for general purposes, the Earl the chair. A large number of corm aunications were read by the hon. secretary from urious noblemen and gentlemen who had not prc viously given in their adhesion, all strongly suppc eing the move ment and intimating their warm cc i-operation; at the same time fort , arding handsome su bseriptions. One of the latest names thus received - was that of the Marquis of Drogheda. The use .of Westminster Hall having been procured, as al ro2ady stated, for drill twice a-week —viz., on TueseLay and Thursday evenings—it was resolved to call, the first muster next Thursday evening. A tele{ ;ram was received from Liverpool last evenin; infor axing the secretary that the committee engaged in forming an Irish corps there had at a meeting that; day (Tuesday) resolved upon co-operating with: ,the London body, RUPTURES.

The meeting had been especially convened with the view to initiate some action on the part of the association in sup port of the'rifie corps movement. The contractors to the War-office are at present. under - contract to deliver ZOOO ' guns. per week:. In these circum stances-it was urged by Mr. J. D. Goodman, Mr. W. L. Sargent, and other gentlemen, that it was the duty of the- trade to set a good example in•this matter, irrespective of any patriotic impulse by which they-might be animated. The result was resolution to the effect that re lid be opened, which each contractor should put his name down for the number of men the was prepared to . equip. It is expected that the contractors in the military department will equip 100. men, and that those who are engaged in the binding gun trade will also equip a proportionate number of men. BRAMPTON. A public meeting was held at Brampton, Cum berland, on Monday, to establish a volunteer rifle corps for the town and nei9;hbourhood. The chair was taken by Mr. W. P. Johnson. Subscriptions were announced, and it was stated that 36 had volunteered to End their rifles, uniform, and accou trements, 13 to find uniforms only, and 36 more would join if they were equipped free of .expense to themselves. CARNARVONSIIIRE. A public meeting has been held, at;which it was agreed to farina rifle corps in the county. A meeting has been held at Carnarvon, and a re solution pa§seti that a:corps shall be raised in that town to constitute a'portion, of the county corps. • A like resolution was passed at a meeting at Bani , or. Cal. Pennant, MT., presided, and put his name down for £lOO. • DEVONSHIRE. A numerous and influential meeting of noblemen, deputy-lieutenants, magistrates, and yeomen of the county of Devon, convened•bv the Lord-Lieutenant (Earl Fortescue), was held on Monday at the Castle of Exeter, to proniote the 'formatior.• of volunteer rifle corps in the rural districts of the county, and to receive the reports of what had been already ac complished.' Earl Forteseue presided, .and among those present were the Earl of .Devon, Lord Chur. , stow, Lord Poltimore, Sir T. D: Acland, Sir E. S. Prideaux (Major-Commandant of the Exeter and South Devon Rifle Corps), Sir S. 11. Northcote;. M.P., Sir J. L. Duutze, Sir J. T. B. Duckworth, Sir M. Lopes, M.P., Sir J. Kerinaway, Sir W. H. Tonkin, the Hon. C. R. Trefusis, MX., the .Hon. and Rev. J. Fertescuc, Mr. S. 'l'. Kekewich, M.P., Mr. J. N. Buller, M.P., Mr. It. S. Gard, M.P., Mr Mills, M.P., Mr. T. D. Acland, &e. Earl FORTESCUE, in opening the proceedings of the meeting, said that the plan for the extension of rifle volunteers into the rural districtsof the county had received the approbation of the authorities at the War-office. (Cheers.) He had received a let ter from the Under-Secretary for War, who said : "I understand that you have called a public meeting in Devonshire on the subject of the formation of corps of mounted rifle volunteers, and I am induced, by the interest which Ilfeel in the success of the movement, to ti ouble you with this mte for the purpose of assuring you that this plan meets with Mr. Herbert's approbation. A corps of this kind, if organised on a good system, will be very useful, an I have little doubt that if the attempt now making in your county proves successful, the example will be exten sively followed elsewhere. I trust that your mounted rifle men (and to this the noble earl called the particular atten tion of the meeting) will bear inmind that they are infantry on horseback, and not cavalry occasionally on foot. Infan try drill should be the basis of their instruction ; the rifle, and not the sword, their principal weapon." (Cheers.) The noble earl then remarked upon the state and circumstances of affairs both at home and abroad which had given rise to the rifle movement, and which had happily, he said, extended through out the length and breadth of the land. (Cheers.) He had always earnestly. desired to see the rela te tions of alliance and amity firmly established be tween England and France. He must say also that he never for one moment had entertained any apprehensions of invasion. He believed that the great ruler of Franco knew too well the true in terests of the country which he ruled over to desire to see any interruption of reciprocal good feeling and friendship between that country and this. (Hear, hoar.) Further, he believed that the Em peror had the energy and power to carry out his desires. But they must not forget the important words of the Duke of Wellington—that steam navi gation had bridged over the sea. Hp felt, there fore, that this country must not owe to the forbear ance and will of any other country its exemption from insult or protection from attack. They had up to a recent period considered themselves a nation of sailors, and their enemy had once called them a " nation of shopkeepers ;" but a new era had now dawned, and they must henceforth resolve to make England permanently a natioa of soldiers. (Cheers:) The Earl of lievoN moved the first resolution, to the effect that the meeting cordially recognized the importance of permanent volunteer organization for the defence of the country. He believed that a perinanent volunteer organization was that which would enable England to speak with that weight in the councils of the world which she had hitherto done. (Hear.) Mr. BULLER, M.P., seconded the resolution, in doing which he said, that when they saw France and Russia engaged in forming large naval forces, it was necessary to preserve, as far as in them bay, their naval supremacy, and to keep up a permanent volunteer force at home. (Cheers.) . The motion was carried unanimously. Lord CHURSTON moved the next resolution, in which the desirability of extending the rifle corps of towns to the rural districts. was expressed. His lordship congratulated the country on the patriotism of the ladies, and stated that Lady Rolle had sig nified her intention of equipping from 25 to 50 men at her own cost—an example which he hoped would be extensively followed. (Cheers.) Sir T. D. ACLAND seconded the resolution, and stated that Lord Poltimore and himself had just succeeded in forming a rifle company of 60 men in their neighbourhood. (Cheers.) The motion was carried by acclamation. Several magistrates present reported that rifle companits had been formed in various parts of the county of Devon. Lord POLTIMORE then moved, and Sir M. LOPES seconded the appointment of a committee, which was carried. Mr. W. PORTER stated that he had succeeded in forming a corps of 60 men in three small parishes with which he was connecte, and that, although at first it was understood that Government would only supply one-half the number of rifles required, he was now happy to state to the meeting that he had just received a letter from the Secretary for War, announcing - that Government was prepared to supply the whole of the rifles. (Cheers.) A unanimous vote of thanks to the noble Lol d- Lieutenant for his zeal in promoting county rifle corps concluded the - proceedings of the meeting. DEATH OF LORD HOLLAND.—WO have to an nounce the death of Lord Holland at Naples, intelligence of which has been received by telegraph. The mournful occurrence took place on 'Sund a y, a ft er a s h ort b ut severe illness, which baffled the most eminent medical skill.
