" Dr. fickford 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 he the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—Loudon Medical Gazette. 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 ()tiered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have dilated 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.

DEATH OF VICE-ADMIRAL APLIN.—This distin guished veteran, as hose death is announced, was 2d son of Admiral of the White,Peter Aplin, and was born April 23, 1790. He entered the navy as a volunteer on board the Eurydice, 24, March 9, 1801, thean f i a t t h ifi t c h a e tio r n an o k f t o h f e Peaeeof Amiens in the' East IndieS, was remove d at once theto Terpsichore,ari4 the vi o 7itl 32,w renewal of hostiliti es came i nto midship man,d, and r frequent collision with the enemy. In August, 1805, being off St. Denis (Isle of Bourbon), he assisted in one of three boats sent into that port for the pur pose of cutting out the French corvette La Tur burette, a service which was completely effected, though the enemy had sheltered their vessel within pistol shot of several heavy batteries whose fire was destructUre to the British. Mr. Aplin re ceived the thanks of the commander-in-chief, Sir Edward Pellew, whom he joined (after a further service with Captain Bathurst in the Pitt, 36) on board the Culloden, 74, ire August, 1807. Before many dap, however, he tsar appointed acting lieutenant of the `Psyche frigate, and thence was transferred to the Arrogant, 74; Captain the Hon. Henry •DaVesen. Soon after hig official promotion (February 13, 1808) he invalided, and remained on half-pay till 1510, in the coarse of which year and 1811 he successively joined the San Josef, 110, flag ship _of Sir Charles Cotton, and Avonside, 38, Capt. R. D. Dunn, on-the home and Mediterranean sta tions. In May, 1813, he assumed command of the Arrow schooner, 12 guns, in which he shortly at tacked a convoy under the protection of two bat teries of Quiberon, at which place he captured the Marie Antoinette and the Vierge Marie. Anchor ing subsequently under the batteries close to the harbour of Mer de Fife, in the Ile de Re, Mr. Aplin successfully managed, under the guise of an Ame rican privateer, so thoroughly to deceive the autho rities that his boats were enabled to enter the port and bring out the largest of the enemy's vessels, Le Bon Samaritan. In the same year he was employed on shore under Sir G. Collier, at the siege of St. Sebastian, and conducted the blockade of San tona so efficiently that although the enemy pos sessed in that port a schooner, a corvette, and two gunboats, they were unable to destroy one of the British vessels constantly passing. From the period of his being made commander, Capt. Aplin remained on half-pay until December 13, 1823, when he was appointed to the Grasshopper, 18. Le this sloop hp went to Newfoundland, and as sumed the command of a small souadron, to the satisfaction of Sir Willoughby Lake, commander in -chief, and of the Admiralty, having discharged several extra-official duties in consequence of the abolition of the civil departments of the navy, and of the absence of the Governor. He obtained post rank January 28, 1826 ; and, having held no further appointment, accepted the retirement October 1, 1846. He obtained hag-rank April 15, 1854. Admiral Aplin married in 1816 Anne Elizabeth, Nou n gest daughter of Vice-Admiral D'Auvergne, Duke de Bouillon, by whom he had issue three sons, one of whom is in the army, and another in the Navy. PRICE 41) . STAMPED, SD. witness gave the prisoner into custody. The com plainant declared he had not insulted or annoyed either man, and one was as much a stranger to him as the other. The first man walked away while he was being assaulted by the prisoner. Mr. Knox said it was one of the strangest cases that had ever come before him, and asked the prisoner what motive he assigned for the assault ; but, though the question was repeated, all that could be obtained; from him was a careless denial that he had struck the complainant at all. A bricklayer named Yates, however, put the fact beyond dispute, for he not only confirmed O'Donnell as to the nature of the blow, but also as to its seve rity, and Mr. Knox sentenced the prisoner to pay the full penalty of 1.:5, or in default to be sent for two months to the House of Correction. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 20, 1861. AN INVENTOR'S ADVENTURE. Mr. H. Dempster, formerly a pilot of Bombay harbour, H.E.I.C. Service, inventor of a new system of building and rigging sailing craft, a new trawl net, a new code of signals, and who has advocated fishery extension and fish market improvements for upwards of 20 years, and, like all inventors, finds the road steep and rugged to get along, has only latterly performed an adventure, to promote the general public welfare, that we scarcely did expect of him at his ad vanced stage. Mr. Dempster's statement here a few days since shows how he has been employed. Ho says : "Laurie, mapseller to the Admiralty, wishing to for ward the plan of my portable flag telegraph, printed some sheets with preliminary description, and circulated them amongst parties he thought would adopt it. The frame, with flags and portable case, he left for me to get up; and when I had a pair finished, and ready for practical experi ment, I left Edinburgh with two distinct objects in view : One was to call at all fishing stations along the coast from Newhaven to Berwick-upon-Tweed, and from thence to North Sunderland, Boulmer, Alnmouth, and on to New castle, urging fishermen to adopt decked-fishing craft in stead of open boats to pursue their calling, and to build breakwaters and deep-water harbours, for their security at all times of tide. As I walked every foot of ground from station to station, the turnings and windings making the distance considerable, together with the time e±pended, ex plaining my views, &c., my journey occupied about nine days. The newspapers at Berwick-upon-Tweed and at Newcastle reported fully my advocacy for fishery exten sion and fishmarket improvements, Whilst visiting the different fishing stations, it was gratifying to see that the fishermen at Eyemouth and Burnmouth have, within the last six years, built themselves an entire new class of decked-fiehing boats for the winter while fishing, Had those men a deep water harbour thereabouts, to protect deck-welled smacks and trawlers, I believe they would go on improving their trade until the desideratum sought after be acquired—' a full supply of seasonable fish at all times of the year.' Beyond these decked fishing boats mentioned at Eyemouth and Burnmouth (about 50 in number), all the rest, from Whitby, in Yorkshire, be John o'Groats, on the northermost point of Scotland, are chiefly open fishing cobles, with some half-decked boats, or. as the fishermen term them, "the dens." As the portable flag telegraph is adapted for land as well as sea purposes, since my arrival in London (6th April) I have called on several official parties, and explained its use and easy . prac ticability. His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief and the Adjutant- General examined it at the Horse Guards, and the President of the Select Committee for Improve ments looked at it in the War-bffice. Everybody pronounces it to be simple, perfect, and ready for action ; but the diffi culty that stands in the way of improvements is the giving up of old-established systems to make room for new ones, however good they may be. It was hinted to me to go to Aldershot and experiment from one hill to another, but the framework of telegraph I brought with me being only 3ft. upon a side is scarcely large enough for very long distances. To give the telegraph a fair trial for army purposes, I would suggest the frame should at least be 6ft. upon a side, and for ship use Bft. There is an opening in the new commer cial code for a system to show colours distinctly during light winds and calms. The portable flag telegraph is splendidly adapted for such requirements, and ' Laurie' will without doubt press forward and fill up the vacuum." FROM TILE GAZETTE 01' LAST NIGHT.

HARRIS AND MIDGELEY. This was a petition by a husband on the ground' of his wife's adultery. The respondent and the co respondent pleaded a denial of the charge. Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner ; Dr. Tristram and Mr. Butler Rigby for the respondent; and Mr. C. West for the co-respondent. The petitioner, Thomas Philips Harris, carries on business as an optician in Great Russell•street, Bloomsbury. He married the respondent, Anne Theresa Harris, in November, 1843, and has had no issue. In 1857, while they were on a visit to Scar borough, they made the acquaintance of Joseph Midgeley, a young man in the employment of Messrs Lewis and Allanby, of Regent-street. After their return to London. Mrs. Harris kept up this acquaintance, contrary to the desire of her husband, and last year some letters fell into Mr. Harris's hands which led to his making inquiries, and ulti mately to the presentation of this petition. A servant, named Elizabeth Harrison, proved that for two years before the separation Mr. Harris had been in the habit of "going every Sunday to Erompton to see his mother, and that Mrs. Harris used to go out during his absence. She was also accustomed to go out at 9 o'clock in the evening and to stay till 11 o'clock, and sometimes later. When Mr. Harris asked for her he was told that she was upstairs or in the kitchen, so that he did not know of her being absent, She frequently took too much to drink, and quarrelled with her husband. She used to persuade her husband to go out with her niece, Miss Dunkly, when she wanted to go out her-, self, and then to quarrel with him for going. She had letters addressed to hersometimes as " Mrs.. T.," sometimes as " Mrs. Bright," which .she said were from Midgeley. Some of these letters-were read. They contained the usual expressions of affection, interspersed with several moral and religious reflec tions. Evidence was also given that in 1859 and 1860 the respondent and the co-respondent had fre quently visited a brothel near the Strand. Decree nisi granted, with costs against the co respondent. WILKINSON V. WILKINSON. Dr. Twiss. Q C., and Dr. Spinks were counsel for the petitioner. Mrs. Wilkinson prayed for a dissolution of her marriage with John Fen wick Wilkinson on the ground of his adultery and cruelty. The marriage took place in October, 1816, and the parties re sided at different times at Wicester, in Hereford shire, at Standerwick Court, in Somerset, at Hyde, at Clifton, and in London. There were three children of the marriage. Mrs. Wilkinson stated that her husband had been extremely unkind to her and gave several instances of his violence. He had thrown a glass at her, and had flung a china candlestick at her head, but missed her. When they were at Ryde, in 1850, some friends came to dinner, and after dinner ,:he went upstairs to her own room. He followed her, and swore at her for not going down into the drawing-room. She said that she was unwell, and that she had retired be cause they had taken too much wine, and the con versation was not fit for a lady to hear. She cried and went into hysterics. She was then near her confinement. He fiew into a rage, said that she was making a noise in order that the people down stairs might think he was illusing her, and that he would give her something to cry for, dragged her across the room, and threw her on a box by the fire, and held her down by her wrists for nearly an hour, dnd then kicked her, called her a sulky beast, and told her she might go to bed. The next morning he asked her to forgive him, and she went out in order that his unkindness might not be known. In 1851 he infected her with a disease, which he had contracted in consequence of his profligate habits, and she went home to her family. She was afterwards reconciled to him but in 1852 ho again treated her with cruelty, and she was afraid he would murder her. Another separation took place, followed by another reconciliation. In 1856 he went to Ireland with the militia regiment to which he belonged, and on his return again com municated the same disease tp her. She left him, but again returned to him, and in 1859 he was guilty of the same misconduct. She then finally withdrew from cohabitation. Her evidence was corroborated by the medical men who had at differeut times attended her, and by some of the ser vants who had lived with them. It was also proved that he had frequently committed adultery with one of his servants. The Judge Ordinary said that the respondent had been guilty of abominable cruelty and profl i gacy, and granted a decree nisi, with costs. POLICE 11V TELLIGENCE.-April 19. WESTMINSTER.—EIizabeth Brown, a girl only 16 years of age, was charged on her own con fession with having thrown a male child, of which she had been recently delivered, into the Thames. Mr. Humphreys, an inspector of the B division, said that the case was very extraordinary, and he detailed the following circumstances;--At 10 o'clock on Wednesday night Mrs. Baldwin, of 91, Little Chapel-street, Westminster, came to the station attached to this court, accompanied by the prisoner, her servant, and said she considered it her duty to make him acquainted with a very peculiar state ment which the girl had made to her. The accused then repeated the statement, as follows :—That on the 27th ult. she was with another girl, named Mary Hopkins, when the latter was suddenly de livered in her presence of a child, which she imme diately entreated her to stab with a pair of scissors. Prisoner refused, when the young woman Hopkins dashed the child's head repeatedly against the post of the bedstead until she killed it. Accused then left the room, and, meeting with Hopkins again on the Friday following, accompanied her to her lodgings, where Hopkins wrapped the body of the child in a cloth, and, taking the fire-shovel, they proceeded to the ruins of the old houses in Victoria street, where they buried the body under an archway. Inspector Humphreys immediately accompanied the prisoner in quest of the girl Hopkins and the body of the child, but several hours were oeenpied in vain, neither being discovered. The girl (accused) was then taken home by her mistress, when, in consequence of a confession that she herself had been delivered of the child she spoke of, and had thrown the child into the Thames, she was given into custody on Thursday evening, and detained. Evidence having been given to the above effect, and it having been stated that the accused had been many years in the service of Mrs. Baldwin, her mother having been for many years an inmate of a lunatic asylum. Dr. Pearse, of 10, Regent-street, Westminster, gave evidence, from which it transpired that the prisoner, on surgical examination, presented all the appearances of a married woman, and that there was nothing to indicate her having been recently delivered of a child, or of ever having had a child. In answer to questions from Mr. Arnold, Mrs. Baldwin said that she never observed the slightest appearance of aberration of intellect in the prisoner, but believed she was of perfectly sound mind. She had not only positively assured her that she had bten confined as stated, but declared that her hus band (Mr. Baldwin) was the father of the child. Prisoner had been in the habit of undressing in her presence, and slept with her children, but she had never observed anything in her appearance to in duce a belief that she was either in the familyway or had been confined. Mr. Arnold remanded the prisoner for a week, directing the police to make the most vigilant in quiries in their power. WORSHIP-STREET,—George King, a stout built man, apparently a labourer, was charged with the following strange assault : Mr. Hugh O'Donnell, a house agent in Lamb's• fields, was standing outside his house, superintend ing a glazier who was at work for him, when a man who was an entire stranger to him came up, and for no reason at all, unless out of wanton mischief, slapped his face. The blow was not such as to hurt him, but it was an insulting liberty to be re sented, and he was remcnstrating with the man upon his conduct, when the prisoner, who was partly drunk and wholly stupid, also came up, and without the slightest offence or pro vocation on his part, struck him such a violent blow on one of his eyes with his fist as to send him staggering some distance, and a constable fortu nately making his appearance at the moment, the THE NAVY. A letter dated Valetta, April 14, says :—" Her :Majesty's frigate Doris, 32 guns, Capt. E. Heath cote, arrived yesterday from Beyrout, and the French Government steam transport Promethe, having on hoard stores and 40 marines for the French ships on the coast of Syria, came in to-day from Algiers. Capt. Sir Leopold M'Clintock, who lately arrived from England for that purpose, will take over the command of the Doris. On Wednes day last, in consequence of instructions from the Government of his Majesty King Victor Emmanuel, Chevalier Robert Slythe, formerly Sardinian Con sul at this island, assumed the title of Consul for the Kingdom of Italy. On the occasion the na tional flag was hoisted on the Consular residence, and the event was similarly marked by all the Italian shipping in port hoisting their flags. The new coat•of--arms, being the old one with a diffe rent motto—namely, Consulato di Suet Maesta it Re d'ltalia,'—was displayed over the port of the Consulate, amidst acclamations of the Italian in habitants of this town, who had assembled to wit ner4s the ceremony. The consul, on-the receipt of his new honours, made a point of paying formal visits to the chief naval, military, and civil autho- )ities. Her Majesty's screw corvette Cruiser, 17, Com mander Bythesea, V,C., put into Falmouth, on Wednesday afternoon, short of fuel and with a strong easterly wind, from China, bound up Chan nel. She left Hong Kong a fortnight later than the Magicienne, which also put into Falmouth a few hours earlier, and having coaled, steamed for Plymouth in the evening. The Cruiser was com missioned in August, 1856, from which period, after convoying out three gunboats, she has been on the Chinese station, and only one ward-room officer of her original complement (the assistant-surgeon) has returned in her. She was fitted out by Commander Charles Fellowes (at present flag-captain of the Princess Royal), who was Fisted after the capture of Canton, where she took a prominent part, being stationed during the bombardment in front of the yamun or palace of Commissioner Ych. She had previously, with her boats under Capt. Fellowes and Lieut. Broad, shared in the dashing and suc cessful action at Fatshan Creek, and was constantly employed in active operations in the Peiho and in Japan, after being joined by her present commander. Her first lieutenant (Mr. George D. Broad), who embarked in her, and was subsequently appointed to the command of the Haughty gunboat, was pro moted for his services to the rank of commander in January last, and now commands the Cowper de spatch boat, one of the eight vessels accompanying Vice-Admiral Sir James Hope, K.C.8., on the ex pedition up the Yang-tse. The Inflexible, 6, paddle, Commander Brooker, was yesterday officially inspected at Spithead, and her crew exercised at target practice from her great guns, &c. She was ordered to proceed into Ports mouth harbour last evening to strip and pay off. The Icarus, 11, screw, Commander U. Salmon, in her trial of machinery on Thursday, drew 12ft. Sin. forward, and 13ft. Sin. aft: ; Fretmurc of ',team 20; vacuum forward, 24.5 ; aft, 25.5 ; revolution of en gines —maximum, 94, mean, 86. The common screw was used with its leading-corners cut off, at a diameter of 10ft , and a pitch of 14ft. 6in. Immer sion 11 inches. It has been stated that the ma chinery of this vessel was originally of very infe rior construction in her trial, which lasted four hours, some very severe tests were applied ; the re sults, however, proved that no fault existed in the construction of the machinery, which was in excel lent working order, and the boilers throughout gave an efficient command of steam. The time occupied in starting the engines, stopping, going astern, ahead, &c., was less in each instance than is usually the case. The Marlborough, 131, screw, Captain W. H. Stewart, at Portsmouth, is ordered to have her coal bunkers fitted with rectangular ventilating tubes, on the same principle as the Victoria, 131, screw, at that port, and as suggested by her chief engi neer, Mr. Eames. The tubes form a communicatioß between the bunkers and the annular funnel. Her Majesty's steam sloop Vixen, from the Pacific, will be paid off tlis morning at Woolwich, com mencing at 11 o'clock, after which she will be ad mitted into basin and docked for examination and a thorough overhaul. Her stancheon beam, sent from England, was replaced while at Peru. The paddlewheel steam frigate Magicienne, 16, when put out of commission at Plymouth, will be placed in the third division of the Steam ordinary. The crew of the Princess -Royal, 91, Capt. Fel lowes, at Devonport are to be transferred immedi ately to the Revenge, 91, which is to be prepared for sea service with all despatch, for the reception of the flag of Admiral Robert Smart. She may be ready in a month. The Donegal, Hero, Aboukir, Centurion, and Conqueror are swdered. from Plymouth Sound to the chops of the Channel to relieve the homeward bound. These ships will be under the command of Captain Broadhead. The protection of the sea face of Lumps Fort, near Portsmouth, has entered upon a new phase. In the first instance a sea wall was included in the plans, but had to be abandoned en the contractor ells covering that no suitable foundation could be ob tained for its construction. It was then resolved to pile it, for 1,200 feet, parallel with the line of beach, with groins 60 feet out seaward, the piles used being 9 feet in length. It is now discovered that the 9-feet piles will be useless to restrain the movement of the beach under the effects of a strong south-easter. The 9-feet piles are there fore being withdrawn from ;the groins, and their places supplied with piles of greater length, com mencing with a 15-feet pile at the parallel line of piling and planking, and decreasing w ith 13, 12, 10, and 9-feet piles as the groin extends to sea. The 15-feet pile is driven in 10 feet, and the othrsra proportionally, until the last of the row—the 9-feet one, is reached, when that is driven up to its head, the groins thus running out from five feet in height above high water mark to beach level below low water mark. The 1,200 feet length of parallel piling and planking is being strengthened by extra piles being driven inwards at intervals, which are iron -clamped to the outer piles, and are camped and bolted to land ties running inwards 36 feet, These measures, it is hoped, will restrain the waste of the beach during a south-east gale ; but past ex perience of the unstable nature of the beach tends to throw grave doubts upon the usefulness of even the present revivified process. The most remark able point connected with the construction of this work, however, is its situation. It has been built to sweep the beach with the guns of Seuthsea Castle, extending between the two works, but ter races of houses are springing into existence which in a short time must shut out each fort from the other's view. All these houses must be bought up by Government and remqved, or the flanking fire from the guns of both Southsea and Lumps will be unavailable in the event of an emergence, an d ground which should be perfectly clear of buildings will be covered with a class of houses which will cost a large sum of money to remove. The autho- THE _ARMY. The head-quarters of the 2d battalion Ist Royals, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Hol combe, disembarked yesterday from the transport Macduff alongside Portsmouth Dockyard, and left by special train at 6 p.m. for Manchester. The men, as the regiment paraded in the dock yard, had a fine soldierly appearance. Their bronzed f64tures, and the medals glistening • on their breasts—the majority having two each, and many of them three—told the history of the gallant Royals in appropriate language.' The regiment on its march to the station was headed by the band of the 2d battalion 11th Regiment, and aocompanied by Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., Col. Somerset, C. 8., and Col. Thackwell.
