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."—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.

" Since the day before yesterday Malta has been in direct communication with Naples, the two cables across the Straits of Messina, which were broken some time age, having been relaid by the Italian Government. The chief cause of the delay in the transmission of messages between England and this island has now been remedied, A telegram was re ceived from England yesterday in 15 hours. "Her Majesty's ships In port are the Neptune (flag of the Commander-in .Chief), the Hibernia (flag of Rear- Admiral Codrington, C. 8.), the Liffey, Doris, Amphion, Alacrity, Assurance, Lapwing,. and Quail, and the tug Hearty. "A letter from Tunis of the 16th inst. announces that the new Constitution of the Bey *as to come into force in a few days, when the inauguration was to be celebrated by a great public festival. "Her Majesty's frigate Terrible, Copt. Glasse, came in yesterday from Corfu, and will return there with a mail on the 23d inst. The following is an extract of a letter re ceived by her, dated April 17 : " ' The ships in port are the Caesar (flag of Rear-Admiral Dacres, C. B.), Orion, James Watt, Algiers, Terrible, and gunboat Foxhound. "'As the Orion was practising at a target, on the 6th inst., one of the Greek steamers rounded the point of the island of Vido, and got hit by a shot, which fortunately did no further injury than to go right through her side and lodge in the bulkhead of one of the cabins. The Greek flag was immediately hauled down, and the greatest consterna tion reigned on board as she had ioany deck passengers, chiefly Albanians. On her being struck boats from the men-of-war in port put off to her to ascertain if any one was hurt and to explain how the event happened. On the next or the following day she was hove down, and re paired by order of the Admiral, who was in consequence placed in a very unpleasant position, as the worst construc tion will, no doubt, be plead upon the occurrence by the lonians. " General Sir G. Buller held his half-yearly inspection of all the corps in garrison list week, and expressed himself much pleased with the high state of efficiency of the troops. The foot races of the garrisor. came off on the Esplanade on the Bth inst., the prizes varylag from Bs. to 155., except the mile race, the prize of whichwas a very handsome silver watch, and was won by an ar t illeryman. The short races were won easily by a sergeant of the 2d Regiment, named Franklyn, who is the best shat-race runner in the garrison at present. " ' The Lord High Commissioner, Sir Henry Storks, will proceed to the Southern Islatids in a day or two in the lonian steamer; accompanied ly the Orion and James Watt as a guard of honour.' "A let'er from Suez of the 17th inst. states that her Majesty's ship Hornet left Aden for Jeddah and Suez on the 19th inst." The Bulldog and Lightning steamers were still off Fal mouth, with the derelict wreck in tow of the former, on Thursday at 1 p.m. The progress making was so slow as to lead to the supposition that some impediment obstructed the motion, probably the chain cable and anchor, which were adrift from the wreck. The wind being northerly, although the weather was moderate and fine, prevented an easy approach to land, which was but two leagues distant. The Bulldog had secured her tow rope through the keel of the wreck. Yesterday tho War Department transport Baltic arrived at the Ordnance Wharf, Chatham, and commenced unload ing 2,000 8-inch shells from Woolwich, to be taken into store. The Government transport Thames also unshipped, at the Gun-wharf, 2,460 of the 24-pounder shells, together with a number of the 100-pounder Armstronggun-carriages from the factory at Woolwich. The steam floating battery ./Etna, 16, 200-horse-power, having completed the shipment of her stores, shot, shell, cables, &c., got up steam early yesterday morning, and at 10 a.m. steamed out of Chatham harbour, attended by the Adder paddlewheel steamer, tender to the Wellesley, 72, and the Monkey paddlewheel .staamer, tender to the Fis gard, 42, to be in readiness o render any assistance.. The 2Etna was to proceed direct to the Thames, in cnarge Of Lieut. 8,. S. Bateman; to take up her position off the land batteries at Shornemead and Coalhouse Point, where moor ings have been laid down for her. The floating battery Thunderbolt, 16, 200-horse power, will probably leave Chatham harbour for the Thames to-day. Yesterday, Capt. E. G. Fanstiawe, superintendent of Chatham Dockyard, mustered the whole of the officers and crew of the Wellesley, 72, guardslip at Chatham, on the occasion of his first visit of inspection to that vessel. The crew were afterwards paid wages to six months, but, under the new arrangement recently introduced into the navy, they will in future be paid monthly, which is considered throughout the service generally a great boon. The Glocester, 50, fitting at Chatham for harbour service in lieu of the Hussar, fifth-rate, converted into a target-ship, is undergoing very extensive repairs, in order to adapt her for the service for which she is dastined. In consequence of the extensive naturo of the alterations required to be per, formed on her it will be some time before she is completed. The naval transport Aid, in No. 2 dock at Chatham, which experienced some serious juries in being driven ashore on the Sussex coast, in the neighbourhood of Beachy Head, has undergone complete repair at the hands of the dockyard shipwrights. The wh.013 of her old planking has been stripped off, and the injuri es to her keel made good. Some of her timbers, which were Sound to be very decayed, have been replaced with new. ye3terday a numerous body of caulkers commenced caulking lor, in order that she may be got out of hand by the end of this month.

She brought home a detachment of Royal Marines (47), under the command of Lieut. W. H. Poynts, a portion of the battalion formed as part of the Chinese expedition. She also brought 20 supernumeraries from the squadron, and 10 of the crew of her Majesty's late ship Assistance. The Marines and supernumeraries have been landed, the ship officially inspected, and it is expected that she will go into Portsmouth harbour to pay off. The Jasper, 1, screw, gunvessel, Lieut.-Commander W. H. Pyre, arrived at Spithead during Thursday night, from the West Indies. She left Bermuda on the 21st of March, and experienced gales of wind the greater part of the passage, arriving in the Channel on the 21st inst.

The Cressy will be towed into Portsmouth harbour this morning from Spithead, and the troops landed at the dockyard, when they will be forwarded by special train to join the regi ment's head-quarters at Manchester. The Duncan, 101, screw, was yesterday undocked at Portsmouth, after fixing her three-bladed iron propeller, and placed in the steam basin, where she got up steam to turn her machinery. In warping her out of the dock, the warp, which was being worked by one of the steam cap stans, carried away and severely injured one of the riggers, named Joseph Barnes. He was at once taken to the dock yard surgery, where, on examination, it was found that one leg was broken between the knee and ancle, and much bruised. The bone was immediately set, and the sufferer conveyed to his home. The Duncan goes out of the steam basin to-day to commence her experimental trials. The Inflexible, 6, paddle, Commander Brooker, will be paid off at Portsmouth this day. The Cheerful, gunboat, has been placed in the angle dock at Portsmouth, for examination, &c.

The Prptectionist organ, the Moniteur Industriel, has a long article on Mr. Gladstone's financial expo sition in the House of Commons on the 15th. It says that the Chancellor of the Exchequer— "Has worked a financial miracle which has disconcerted his adversaries and stupefied even his friends. The former awaited that critical moment with malicious impatience. The short harvest of last year, the embarrassments of trade, the bad results of exportation in the most important markets of England, the financial crisis, the expenses of the Chinese war, the reduction of the revenue caused by the Anglo- French commercial treaty, were regarded by anticipa tion as se many circumstances which certainly could not have prepared a bed of roses for the Chancellor of the Exchequer. What was the deficit ? Huw was the Minis ter to provide for it ? Such were the questions asked everywhere in England, and, in spite of the ability and undoubted capacity of Mr. Gladstone, public expectation was anything but favourable to him. Mr. Gladstone has issued from this critical position with marvellous address. Not only is there not a deficit in his Budget, but, on the contrary, and with a talent which places him in the fore most rank of his country's statesmen, he has exhibited before the House of Commons, surprised and charmed, a Budget with a surplus." _ _ After these praises, and after examining Mr. Gladstone'a calculations, the Moniteur Industriel concludes thus "But when we descend from the heights of this arith metic, a little too decorated, to look at facts, what do we find ? In the first place, the confirmation of the immense preference accorded in England to other foreign wines over French wines. It is, under the action of the treaty, in the proportion of 9,878,000 gallons, or 449,000 hectolitres to 2,631,000 gallons, or 119,990 hectolitres. The alleged pro portional augmentation in French wines, compared to other wines, is, if we look closely, but another illusion. It is evi dent that the wines of other than French origin absorbing the great mass of English consumption could not augment their proportional importation in the same measure as the French wines, occupying a place much more humble in Bri tannic predilections. To arrive at a correct conclusion we must consider the real numbers, and not proportional numbers. Now, these last show that the consumption of wines other than French, comparatively so consider able already, increased by 1,857,000 gallons, whereas the consumption of French wines has increased only by 1,475,000 gallons, which gives a proportional advantage of nearly 30 per cent. to wines not French in the comparative consumption of the two sorts. Wines other than French have thus maintained in the English market, and even in creased, their relative superiority. In fact, all the advan tages for us up to the present are limited to an importat ion of 67,000 hectolitres of wines, on a production of 60,000,000 of hectolitres—that is to say, cne thousandth part. Let us, therefore, not be surprised that the House of Commons re ceived this result with unanimous applause. We would not even inquire if that importation has not been somewhat artificial, provided it were advantageous to us. Neither do wo desire to recall the bitter deception which last year fol lowed the greater part of our wine exports to England. Be this as it may, it is on wines that our neighbours seem to count for finding from us a slight compensation, necessary for the vast importations they have from us. Mr. Glad stone stated that before 1701, before the Methuen Treaty, French wines enjoyed much vogue in England, and that they lost it only when the interests of commercial policy required that Portuguese wines should-be substitute) for them ; Portugal now being exhausted and ruined, the same commercial policy requires that what has been done with Portugal should be commenced in France. The les son is remarkable; it teaches us how England throws away the orange peel when she has sucked it to the last drop:" Mr. JARVIS, plasterer, having been called to the chair, opened the meeting with a few observa tions soliciting a patient hearing for all speakers, even if they were opposed to the object of the meeting. Mr. ALLCROFT rose to propose the first resolu tion :—" That in the opinion of this meeting, the payment by the hour introduced by Messrs. Kelk, Lucas, and Smith is objectionable, because it opens a wider field for competition, jeopardises the Saturday 4 o'clock, does away with the payment of time-and-a-half for overtime, and destroys a recognised day ; therefore we pledge ourselves to oppose the system until it is withdrawn." He said they were met to protest against the proposed system of payment by the hour. They did not:like it, believing that it would tend to lower their position as working men, would destroy a recognised day's work, and be as de grading to the master who offered it as to the man who accepted it. (Hear.) The master builders hoped by appealing to the selfish nature of the workmen to carry out their object, but they bad been disap pointed. The men felt that if they once acceded to the hour system there was no guarantee that the masters would not exact fourteen, fifteen, or even sixteen hours a day in summer, and go back to five, six, or seven hours in the winter. He entreated his fellow-men to struggle manfully against the hour system, in favour of the nine hours movement, and to support the men who were locked out. Mr.IVEIRELER, plasterer, seconded the resolution. He ridiculed the idea of foreign workmen being brought in ; the masters knew their own interests too well. The speaker then entered into various de tails respecting the lock-out at Messrs. Kelk and Lucas's works. In his own trade, out of 86 men locked out two thirds were non-society men, and not one had gone back. The men in the provinces were with them ; none were coming up from the country, and this in itself was a great support. He was prepared on behalf of his trade to say that if the masters would pay 6s. per day of 10 hours for five days, and 3s. for half a day on Saturday, the men would accept it. He condemned the policy of the masters in throwing as much labour as pos sible into the market, to starve them into submis sion. _ _ Mr. GROSSMITH supported the resolution, which was put from the chair, and carried unanimously, amid loud cheers. Mr. WRIGHT moved the second resolution,— " That the men thrown out of work by the new conditions of the master builders, being willing to resume their employment, providing the employers recognise a fixed day, we pledge ourselves to render every assistance to those at present locked out, and we urge upon our fellow-workmen of the United Kingdom the necessity of assisting us to successfully combat the destructive system of payment by the hour." Mr. LEAKE seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. POTTER then came forward and was loudly cheered. He said the labour and anxiety he had lately gone through had so far affected his health that he was unable to address them at any length. He felt so strongly the justice of the cause he was advocating that he cared but little for the want of sympathy on the part of the press or the public; he knew that he possessed the confidence of the thousands of his fellow-workmen, and felt that they had only to persevere and they must succeed in their object. (Cheers.) A vote of thanks to the chairman and the com mittee concluded the proceedings. THE GARIBALDI VOLUNTEERS. At the Mansion-house yesterday a number of young men, some of whom wore the uniform of the Garibaldi volunteers, who, it will be remembered, went from this country to Italy, to assist General Garibaldi in his struggle for Italian independence, attended before Alderman Meohi to support a sum mons that had been issued against Mr. William Laurence Arrowsmith, the registered proprietor of a steam vessel called the Melazzo, under the Mer chant Shipping Act, for having, on the 29th of December last, unlawfully carried as passengers on board the said vessel a greater number of passengers than he was by law entitled to do, whereby he had incurred a penalty of £2O, and ss. for each pas senger carried over the number for which the vessel was registered. Mr. Murrough, a solicitor, attended in support of the complaint. The defendant did not appear, but a gentleman named Legatt attended, and stated that he was abroad at the time the summons was served, and had not yet returned. Mr. Murrough stated that he appeared for a number of young men, who were members of the Anglo-Italian army in the recent struggle by Gen. Garibaldi for Italian independence, and if they had only been sufferers by the proceedings of foreigners in connection with that expedition, he should have felt that it was no more than they might have expected, and he should not have inter fered. According to his instructions, however, they had been most unfairly and indeed cruelly treated by the commander of the vessel, and the only remedy the complainants had was to adopt the pre sent proceeding against Mr. Arrowsmith, who was the registered owner of the vessel in question. He then proceeded to state that the Melazzo sailed from the Bay of Naples on the 14th of December, having at the time on board no less than 256 pas sengers, most of whom were young men who were returning from the expedition. The vessel was only registered for the conveyance of 145 passengers, so that she had 111 passengers more than she was en titled to carry ; and there was no commissariat, the only thing in the shape of food that was on board being some horse beef, a portion of which he pro duced. The Alderman examined it, and said it more resembled a piece of hard wood than anything cal culated for human food. Mr. Murrough went on to say that the unfortu nate young men suffered a great deal until they arrived at Gibraltar, and they of course went on shore in order to obtain some wholesome food, and for the purposes of cleanliness, and a notice was given by the captain of the vessel that she would leave on a certain day, at 12 o'clock in the morning. Instead of sailing at that hour, however, the Me lazzo sailed at 10 o'clock, leaving the complainants behind, without any clothes or necessaries, the whole of which were taken away in the vessel. The complainants were reduced to very great dis tress in consequence of this proceeding, and they were only enabled to get back to their homes through the charity of the owners of a steamer called the Mavrocordato. Ile had since made an application to the agents of Mr. Arrowsmith with a view to obtain restitution of the pro perty, but he could not obtain any explana tion, and his application was not paid any attention to. The vessel is now at sea, the agents, as he before stated, declined to interfere, and the complainants had no alternative but to adopt the present proceeding, in order to obtain some redress. Alderman Meehi said that, according to the state ment that had been made, the matter was one that certainly ought to be inquired into ; but the diffi culty in the matter was that the defendant was not present, and there was no evidence to show that the summons had been served at his last place of abode or residence, which was required to be done by the Merchant Shipping Act. It appeared to him,. therefore, that he had no jurisdiction t o entertain the present complaint. Mr. Murrough submitted that their service at the offices of his agents was sufficient. Mr. Oke, the second clerk, said that there was another difficulty in the case, which was, that there was no evidence to show that Mr. Arrowsmith was w ithin the jurisdiction of this Court at the time the complaint was made. The summons was then dismissed.

Wont Guide to healtht!', The entire removal of the last arch of old4ee minster-bridge was accomplished yesterday. and very little is to be seen above water of the ruinous obstruction which has so long impeded not only the navigation of the river but even the very passage of the liver itself. In the course of another three months or so even the foundations of the old piers will have been removed, and the work of completing the eastern half of the new structure be going on rapidly towards completion. Let us hope that the removal of this ancient watermark will inaugurate a new era in the history of our metropolitan bridges, and that it may lead eventually to the widening of London-bridge and the reconstruction of Blackfriars —especially before the latter falls of itself. The work which yet remains to be done before West minster will be entirely finished is unfortunately of a kind that cannot be very much hastened, yet with all drawbacks there is no doubt but that the close' of the present year will sec it nearly if not quite completed. All the piers for the eastern half of the new structure have been entirely finished, except No. 1 pier on the Middlesex side, and piers Nos. 3 and 5 in the centre of the river. The method of constructing these is by driving in massive iron piles deep below the bed of the river into the clay. Between these piles, which are driven in the exact form of the intended pier, are again driven iron plates an inch and a quarter thick. From the massive coffer dam thus formed the earth and mud are dredged out below the gravel, and a number of wooden piles of the largest kind driven in to the greatest depth they will penetrate. All the space between the piling is then filled in with concrete, the heads of the piles themselves sawn off six feet below low water, and the remainder of the coffer dam filled in with immense slabs of granite up to low Vater - mark, where the regular ornamental piers to carry the arches begin. Driving the iron piles is accomplished easily enough, but forcing down the him slates between is an operation re quiring bot I 49 and care. The foundations of No. 1 pier ren so far advanced that it is al most ready for the granite slabs, but the remaining halves of Nos. 3 and 5 cannot be begun until all the foundations of the two piers of the old bridge, which are in the way and occupy the ground on which they are to come, have been removed. Do ing away with theSe old foundations, however, takes very little time. So great has been the scour of the river since the removal of old London-bridge, that the caissons on which these old foundations rest, and which when the bridge was built were more than six feet below the bed of the river, are now completely bare. In the centre of the stream they are not only bare, but many of them have the ground so worn away from under their edges that tre divers can get their hands beneath them for a , considerable distance. No. 1 pier of the old bridge has been completely built into the Middlesex abut ment of the new Nos. 2 and 3 have been quite re moved, and the foundations of the new pier laid in their place. No 4 old pier has been all removed but the caisson ; No. 5 removed to high-water:level ; Nos. 6 and 7 almost entirely removed; Nos. 8, 9. and 10, cut down below high-water mark ; and No. 11 almost away to the caisson. Altogether, in cluding the removal of the arches, more than 2,100,000 cubic feet of masonry and brickwork have been taken out. The Surrey abutment will be completed in a few days, and all the founda tions of that on the Middlesex side are ready for the masonry. The remaining halves of the first and second arches on the Surrey side have also been be gun, and are well forward. A month more or so will see these two complete, and others advancing. When the building of the earlier half is quite finished, the 15-feet footpath will be paved, and .one tramway next the kerb will be laid down, the remainder of the space being left for the lighier traffic. The half now open will then be closed, the footway completed, the tram next it left as it is, and the other removed, when the whole will be opened. There will then be two footways each 15 feet wide, two tramways each of 7 ft. 6 in., and a roadway for light traffic of 40 feet. The extreme width of London -bridge from parapet to parapet is 56 feet, or exactly the space of the roadway of the new bridge, exclusive of footpaths. All the orna mental iron -work, parapet, and balustrades of the western half have been put up, so that from this side of the river a good notion of the effect of the • whole structure when completed can be gained. It is simple, light, and beautiful in the extreme, even more so than the drawings at first showed it would be. Beyond a doubt, when finished, it will be one of the most beautiful not only in London, but even in Europe. The ornamental shields which are to fill up the Gothic quatrefoils in the spandrils of the arches are not yet placed. These will be of cast iron and emblazoned with the arms of Westminster and England in gold and enduring colours. From this side the rise of the bridge seems greater than it really is, from the fact of the wooden balustrade on tho inner side, within the ornamental railing, ap pearing to form a part of it. In reality the crown of the arch is more than 11 feet lower than the highest point of old Westminster. The entire space allowed for waterway under the now bridge is 750 feet, and of this no less than 140 feet are now occu pied by the remains of the old piers and scaffolding necessarily erected for building the new. In a few months these will all be removed, and for the first time for 20 years the tide will flow unrestrictedly, and with greatly increased facilities for its passage up the Thames. The result of this will be of course that the tide above Westminster-bridge will rise slightly higher than it has ever hitherto done; while the scour down the river will be largely in creased in proportion. This latter fact must hasten. the Bridge Committee to an immediate determina tion as to a new structure at Blackfriars. There is no concealing the fact that one of the arches of Blackfriars-bridge is completely broken, and resting on the wooden centreing beneath it. An increased scour would soon lead to an increased settlement, which apparently the defective arch could not bear without great risk of coming down in a mass, when in all probability most of the arches in the centre of the stream would follow. No time should be lo . st in guarding against the possibility of such a fearful accident as this, and we hope before long to hear that plans for a new structure have been definitely resolved on. A better example for the new bridge can scarcely be chosen than that which Mr. Page is rapidly complging at Westminster. THE MAILS. MAILS DUE. Australia, Ceylon, and Mauritius (via South ampton) ..
