Translated from . e German of Dr. PICKFORD, of the University of Heidelberg. Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi itrntributions to German medica l literature. This is the first he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi -7' reader. We trust this may not b e the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his "Wer to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this scandalouslady by translating this little book, and by laying bare practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure;. a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object t7ln to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma 4,!heca and the various forms of disease which resemble it are t.!;eurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the s Leatrneut of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary Chapter that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any no tice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate :fee at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of ;ery one Interested in the matter." — Dubli n Medical Press, April -0 , 1852.

The folio wing is the letter of our correspondent at Bombay : . - • . " Scarcely more than a week has gone by since the dete of my last letter, and no news of much public importance has reached Bombay during the interval. Oar latest intelligenee from Rangoon extends to the 23d of April ; no further collision with the enemy had taken place, and our troops had remained inac tive nearly a week. Captain Blundell had died of his woonds; the remainder of the wounded were doing well. Cholera was abating; ,the place was getting into some order and cleanliness; Burmese labourerere . wece flocking in in search of employment, and glad to-work at . 2 nonas (3d.) per day; several cargo boats were in the river, and every day fur nished new symptoms of a restoration of tranquillity and resmeitetion of trade. On the other hand, the rations for European troops were dear, scarce, and of bad suality, principally consisting of ill-cured pork, no beef being as yet'obtainable. Temporary wooden barracks were expected from Moulmein, but mean while, the troops were without proper shelter, though the monsoon was daily expected. " Nothing was known regarding the future move ments of the force ; two light steamers, the Phlege non and Mahanudy - had been sent on the 21st to the Irrawaddy to reconnoitre, if hopirivith a view to ascertain the practicability of an immediate advance up the river.' In all' probability, however, the force will stand fast till after the monsoon. " The Governor- General's first intention, on the fall of Rangoon, appears to have been to push on to Prome immediately ; but, if so, his subsequent inter view with Admiral Austen altered his plan. The ex press informing us of the fall of Rangoon also brought orders that two more Bombay war steamers should he prepared for Burmah immediately, and it was re ported that more troops were ordered up from Madras. The Queen and Victoria were ready for sea in twenty four hours (the rapidity of their equipment has been since noticed in a complimentary order), but by next post they were countmanded, and three of the steam frigates at present at . Rangoon are to return to Bombay. " Nothing is known regarding the number or po sition of the Burmese troops in the neighbourhood of Rangoon. Some accounts state the force of the enemy at 25,000 men ; others say that the troops that were assembled for the defence of Rangoon disbanded themselves on its fall, and that the ex-Governor had only 100 or 200 men remaining with him. The influx of Burmese labourers to Rangoon appears to favour the latter supposition ;' if the Burmese were in force in the vicinity they would drive off the inhabitants, es they did last war. The following is taken from a Rangoon letter : The Governor of Rangoon has invited tenders for the heads of the British forces, according to prices as p e r tariff, namely, fifty rupees for the head a white man, and thirty rupees for the head of a black man. Tee offer has proved a sirong inducement to the Bur p e l led Bur mese, who go to work desperately to earn the reward. No sooner is a soldier or sepoy down than several Bur mese rush upon him with hatchets and choppers, eager etoaseeffs,eeta however,de decapitation and comsecure tot bheeahteaasd. hasty l a In most treat with something about their own heads from the comrades of those Talon; though in a few instances they have been successful in carrying off the heads of oar poor fellows.' " On the 20th the ex-Governor sent a flag of truce with an impertinent message to the General ; he said, the English had won the last battle by accident, but that two more battles must be fought (alluding pro bably to the positions of Donbhew and Prome) before we. could reach Ava; he was fully prepared for us, but to prevent the effusion of blood would conde scend to treat. The General is said to have torn up the proposals, and told the messenger that he should not listen to any overtures except from a properly accredited enemy from Ava, and that if he caught the ex Governor he would hang hire for firing on his fl :g of truce (taken up to Rangoon by the Prosperine, by herself, on the let of April). Thera are rumours of a rev-inien at Ave, headed by the King's brother. " On the night of the 14:h the Burmese made a spirited attempt to recapture Murtaban. They got within our pickets, but retired after about four hours' firing. Our loss was only two artillerymen slightly wounded. Theirs is supposed to be very heavy, but they left no dead or wounded on the ground. " General Godwin's and Admiral Austen's dis patches will have appeared in the English papers ere this, and the Indian overland summaries contain nu• merous private letters from officers with the Rangoon force. " The cholera that broke out among •the troops employed at Rangoon is attributed entirely to the fatigue and unnecessary exposure they underwent. General Godwin is universally blamed for having landed the troops so long before the guns, which it wes known from the first would be requisite for the reduction of the Great Pagoda stockade. " It is urged that the cr ews of two shi p s of war, 15 steamers, and 16 transports could have readily furnished sufficient men for landing their guns simul taneously with the troops, in which case the Great Pagoda would have fallen, and the troops got under shelter by noon on the 12tb, instead of not till the 14th. As it was, the troops, after being on the 12th exposed to a sun so terrible that five officers were struck down at their posts by it (two of them fatally), lay down at night on the ground, exposed to a heavy dew in an unwholesome swamp ; the whole of the next day (the 13th of April) WCI3 lost, because the guns were not landed, the troops remaining in active, exposed to the insupportable heat of the sun,' and peering that night also without shelter. In India cholera is the invariable result when troops are subjected during the hot weather to any continuance of undue fatigue or exposure to the sun. " Sir Colin Campbell's force returned to Peshawar on the 18th, but a fresh force, consisting of her Ma jesty's 321, the 28th Native Infantry, two field pieces, and some heavy guns, with two troops of the 2d Irre gular Cavalry, was ordered out in the direction of the Swat River a few days afterwards. A correspondent of the Calcutta Englishman sup plies the following paragraph in reference to the state of the NiZ2M ' a dominions The contingent is established in eight cantonments, in positions to facilitate the protection of the whole country. De tachments from seven of these cantonments, in some instances with guns, are now out against marauders, who are laying waste not only villages, but whole provinces. To enable you to trace the extent of country'suffering from • bands of depredators, I give you the names of the cantonments from which troops have been detached. They are as follows :—Ellich pore, Aurungabad, Motoiosbad, Hingolee, Ltngsa goor, Thiamin, and Warungole. From Goolburga alone no troops have been detached. The trade of Bombay is drawing near its close for-the season, but a tolerably good business has been done during the past ten days. The money' market continues easy." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta Englishman) The overland express came in on the evening of the 27:h ult., followed on the 28th by the mail, hringireg London dates to the 24th of March. Trade was healthy and steroy, money plentiful, and the general consurnp- Win of colonial produce ,swisfactory. Sufficient time has scarcely yet elapsed to admit of the effects of this intelligence being seen in our export raarket, in which business continues to be transacted on a moderate scale, the downward tendency of prices caused by the rise of the rate of exchange having been counteracted by a decline in freights. So short a time has passed since the date of our last circular that the operations in our import-market have necessarily been less than they would have been bad the usual period elapsed between the two Mails.

PONTVIOUTEL, SUNDAL—The clipper ship Vimiera, Captain Neatby, arrived off the Wight on Saturday evening, and by the pilot-boat landed a very heavy mail and ten passengers from Sydney, New south Wales, from whence she has had a good passage of 94 days, having left on the 10th March. She proceeded on to London with a fair wind. The Vimiera has on board about 15,000 oz. of gold from the diggings. The Black wall, with 58,000 oz., and the General Hewett, with 18,000 cz,, sailed from Sydney for London three days before the Vimiera. About 15 000 persons had left Sydney and its vicinity for the diggings, consequently labourers were much in request. Stamen were to be had, but et high prices; those that navigated the Vimiera to England were to receive 71. per month for the run home._ --on Friday last the Vimiera passed her Majesty's ship Herald, Captain Denham, and he: tender Torch, en route to the Pacific, and also the Nile, outward bound India man.

In 1845 , while in the Vestal , Borneo, be was intrusted by Rear-Admi ra l Sir ' Thomas Cochrane with the command of a force consist ingot 530 officers, seamen, and marines, embarked in 24 boats (nice of them carrying guns), and was sent up one of the branches of a river in Malloodoo Bay, to attack th e stronghold of Scherif Osman, the most notorious of th e Sooloo pirate chieftains. The success of the enterprise and the distinguished gallantry and good conduct ex. hibited on the occasion by Captain Talbot and his brave companions had the effect of drawing from the Admiralty an expression of its great admiration and satisfaction. While on the East India station Cap tain Talbot was for a considerable period twice employed as senior officer in the China Seas, where his constant consideration for the interests of British commerce, and the unremitting attention he displayed in 'his official capacity towards the mercantile community, procured him on leaving a warm address. On payieg off at this port in the summer of 1847 he was desired to communi sate to the ship's company the expression of the Ad miralty's approbation of the state and discipline, as well as the gunnery exercise, of the Vestal fts reported by Vice-Admiral Sir E. D. King. Her m a j es ty's paddle-wheel steam -vessel Lightning, Mr. E. K. Culver, Master Commanding, arrived here at 1 P.M. yesterday, with 1 subaltern, 1 sergeant, 2 cor porals, 1 drummer, and 20 privates of the Woolwich di vision of Royal Marines, for service in the Vestal, Capt.

Watt in charge, arrived yesterday afternoon, with a lighter in tow, and after communicating with the dock yard returned to Chatham. Her Majesty's ship Royal George, 120, will be under the hinds of the Chatham dockyard artificers for seve ral months.

First Secretary to the Admiralty, visited Woolwich dockyard to-day, accompanied by Mr. Thomas T. Grant, F.R.S., Controller for the Victualling and T ran sport Services, and Mr. Rolt, the contractor and the secretary, and was received by Commodore Henry Eden and the heads of the various departments, who accompanied him to the factory to see the large screw propeller cast at the foundry on Wednesday last, and at the time of his visit quite cool and uncovered, and ready for being lifted out of the under part of the mould in which it hid been cast. A portion of the brass metal was cleaned and showed the superior quality of the metal and the excellence of the casting. The breadth of the blades of this fine screw propeller at about 10 inches from the extreme of each is 8 feet, and the upper and lower points, from the greatest part of the breadth of the blades, taper gradually to the ex treme length of the blade , whi c h will have the effect of ca using a less resisting po wer when i t strikes the water n leaving the factory, it b e i ng near with Mr. G rant, Mr. twoheln2inemelootcikon,. the Secretary, Rat, and Commodore Henry Eden, with thehead i s of the departments, proceede d to the tick et - office, to wit ness the manner in which each individual's attendance in the yard to perform his res p ective duties is correctly ascer t a ined by means of metallic checks, which at tended with very lit tle trouble co mpared With the s old method of calling o ver the na mes of each individual wor kman on their going out from a n d Coming bank to several plsees in the yard , and then returned t o th th e e ir r work.

AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING. By the royal Mail St eam-ship Africa, Harrison commander, which arrived in the Mersey at ten o'clock to-night, we have , advices from New York to the 2d inst. The Africa brings 408,374 dolls. in specie on freight. The United States Mail steam-ship Arctic, Luce commander, arrived at New York on the 30th ult.; and the Royal Mail steqm-sllip Asia, Judk;cs com- wander, on the 2d inst. Our advices by this arrival ere unusually devoid of interesting intelligence. The Californian mails, which were fully due-at New York, had not arrived when the Africa left that port. _ The proceedings in Congress are unworthy of no tice, the subjects under discussion being purely of a domestic nature. Both branches of the Legislature had adjoured for a few days to allow the members an opportunity of attending to their engagements in connexion with the forthcoming Presidential election. The National Democratic Convention assembled at Baltimore on the Ist instant, and, amid great con fasien, proceeded to make the preliminary arrange ments. The Hon. R. M. Saunders, of North Caro lina, was appointed chairman. It is stated that little further delay will occur in carrying out the project of an iuteroceardc canal through Nicaragua. Commissioners, accompanied by Mr. Childs, were about to leave for London to communicate the arrangement with the capitalists who have agreed to undertake the matter, in conjunction with those of the United States. Mr. Childs esti mates the cost at from 16,000,000 dolls. to 20,000,000 dolls., and asserts that the difficulties of construction have been ranch overrated. Since the previous surveys were made he had discovered a more advantageous route for the canal, and he states that instead of an elevation of 480 feet there is only one of 48 feet. He considers they greater part of the river San Juan to be navigable. The convention held by the Roman Catholic clergy of the United States at Baltimore was deliberating with closed doors. It has been allowed to transpire, however, that one of the principal topics of discussion was a proposition to say mass in English, instead of Latin. The result of the discussion was not known, but it was thought very probable that the decision would be against the change. It is hinted that the celibacy of the Roman Catholic clergy of the United States is by no means beyond the probability of a change. The Irish citizens of New York were making much of the convict Meagher. He had been invited to visit Albany and Boston, where arrangements were being made to do him honour. On the 29th ult. he held a levee, which was attended by a large number of people, principally Irish. He appears to meet with little sympathy from the .American people. Kossuth has returned to New York. Enormous quantities of ice have gone down the Mississippi this spring, which have proved very useful in cutting off and breaking to pieces the snags in the river, and levelling the sandbars in the river bed. The-St. John's, New Brunswick, papers give de tails of the disasters that have arisen from a fire, which has been raging in the woods in the vicinity of Bathurst and Frederickton for some days previously. In the former town, three or four dwellings, with their outhouses, were consumed, and at the latter, a farm-house, with barns and all the live and dead stock, were destroyed. The cathedral was at one time threatened with destruction, as burning cinders from the forest were falling thickly in the streets a round it, but a heavy shower happily checked the fire in that quarter. An extensive firm in San Francisco are importing stone from China for the erection of a fire-proof building. Chinese workmen are also employed in its erection. The Great Britain steam-ship was an object of much attraction. A large company assembled on board on the 31st ult., on which occasion a rich col lation was served, with wine, toasts, and speeches in abundance. The boiler of a new steamer, the Eastern City, exploded on the 29th ult,,.killing two men, and dan gerously, if not fatally, scalding three others. An American arrival, without the account of a boiler 'explosion or railway collision, would be a rarity. Lola Montes was attracting full and enthusiastic audiences at the Walnut-street Theatre, Philadelphia. The New York Herald and the Tribune give the following Mexican intelligence, but do not mention the sourc e whence it is derived : .% We have dates from Mexico to the 13th ult. The n ews generally is unimportant, except n report that the Cbambor of Deputies had passed a Bill granting the r i g ht of way across the Tehuantepec to Colonel A. G. Slo p, of New Orleans, by a vote of 60 to 20. IV the arrival of Mr. Lewis Morris, United States' C onsu l, f rom c at: apes:3y, which port he left on the 25th of April, we are informed that General de la Vega, now in command of the Yucatan army, has been appointed Minister of W ar. The General was daily expected to nritive at Cam peachy to tske his departure for the capital. A courier arrived at Canspeschy on the 6 , h of Ap r il, b r i nging the news that a detachment of the army had penetrated the Indian country to the ban ks of the Rio luda, which r i ve r divides the English p r z o ossessions of 1K s and Hon• duras from Yucatan, where they fell in •with and .e.ner laden with cap tured, after a short fight, an English a rms and munitions of war intended for the Indians.
