Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFOUD, " 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 he the last, if he shall detect any other squally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have 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.

Sir,—. paragraphs have lately appeared , in your columns, within a very few days of each other, which suggest matter for the gravest and most anxious reflection. The one is a document signed by every English prelate_ 'without exception, censuring a possibly very censurable volume. The authors of volume are branded, so far as the expressed opinion of tLe whole bench of bishops can brand them, with nut only holding and teachieg erroneous opinions, but with occupying an immoral and indefensible posi tion, if not legally, yet as clergymen and gentle men. The other is a statement in your impression of yesterday, that one of the most influential and best known of these prelates, himself' hut recently trans ferred to a seat of great wealth and unusual patron age, has presented the very first piec e o f valuable preferment which has fallen into his hands to his own son-in-law and domestic chaplain. N o one who knows the gentleman in question would wil lingly say a word against him. He is allowed to be a young man of blameless character and plea sant address • but his hest friends would not allege in his behalf any one intellectual or theological attainment of any kind, or any special zeal or strength of character. He is totally unknown in the diocess of Durham; he has been but a short time in orders, and his experience bf parochial work has proportionably been limited and scanty. Surely the Bishop of Durham might have chosen abetter moment to drive the sharp sword of nepotism into the vitals of his Church. She needs her life blood sadly, and cannot afford to spill it thus. What will be the effect of such an act at such a moment on the minds of those who are a few, a very few years younger than the Bishop's fortunate chap lain ? The young men at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge are no strangers to the questions agitated in the volume which has just been con demned. The whole future destiny of not a few .depends on the answers which can be given by or for them to the questions which are there stirred. And what do they now see? On the one hand they see men for some of whom they care nothing, and from whose views they shrink, for some of whom they feel an entire and absorbing veneration, classed together by the leaders of their Church in one indis criminate and almost scornful condemnation. On the other, they see one after another of those who occupy this high place, and speak thus in the lan guage of authority, falling victims to the one vice which the young utterly despise—the one sin for which they make no allowance—,that of selfish greed. As the undergraduate of 1861 looks round him, he sees the most earnest and the most gifted of those who are a little his senior, hesitating about fulfill ing the aim of his life by taking orders ; and as this and that phase of intellectual growth passes over himself, he feels bewildered at announcements liko that made by a well-known bishop last summer, that the "smallest taint of neology would be fatal to any candidate for orders." On the other hand he sees the least gifted, the least thoughtful, in more than one case the least respected of his contemporaries, passing almost in a moment from the aimless, well-dressed undergra duate, whose answers at lecture were the College joke, into the favoured protege, the domestic, and, as has been more ; than once lately the case, the examing chaplain of this and that powerful bishop, and the legitimate heir to the comfortable rectory for which hardworking incumbents have toiled for years in vain. This is not the first occasion on which the very College which is looked on as the stronghold of a questioning rationalism hhs had its weak faith scandalised by these rapid and almost grotesque transformations. The Church of England and the Christianity of England may be approaching a time of trial, and sifting, and difficulty. The friends of both might wish these acts of nepotism to be passed over with a sigh or a groan. But your columns carry them far and wide, and wherever they are read there will be a sneer at the Church whose rulers condemn their brethren readily enough —condemn them unheard, unwarned, on the strength of an accusation which they do not trouble themselves to produce, and then are reported, with the ink scarcely dry with which they signed their names, to have been guilty, in one of their representative members, of grasping at the Church's property with a haste almost sordid, of treating what has been just com mitted to one of their body with solemn vows and a solemn service as a matter of mere loot, a means of mere family enrichment. —Your obedient set vant, OXONIENSIS. Feb. 21. " ESSAYS AND REVIEW S." TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—A letter which appeared in the Times of yesterday on the subject of " Essays and Reviews," written by one who signed himself " A Cambridge Graduate," is a striking contrast in its fairness anti the desire it vinces to have each of the essays judged by in individual merits, to the angry wholesale denunciations of them which may be found in some of our religious newspapers. What, according to the writer of this letter, is wanted as an antidote to some of the essays is a reply which shall not be merely a refutation of errors, but a de finition of truths perverted or neglected. Now, I cannot help asking you to allow me to bring before your readers—to those of them who are interested in theological questions—how, in some degree, a refutation of the kind alluded to already exists—how, in reference at least to the rationalistic views of the Old Testament history which some passages in the essays seem to encou rage, it exists in such works as that of the Rev. F. D. Maurice " On the Kings and Prophets of the Old Testament," and in some of the " Sermons" of the late Rev. F. Robertson. For, surely, the best refu tation of such views, which would make the stories of the Old Testament mere myths and legends of the past, is to make us feel the force and meaning which these stories possess for us Englishmen of the present day; to make us look on the miracles of the Old Testament, not as mere marvels of a by gone age, but as glimpses of a Divine government. which, though under different circumstances and in a different way, is as really and truly being car ried on in our own age; and this is the view to which one is led by the study of the works alluded to, _ _ Surely, then, great good will be effected out of the evil which some of the Essays and Reviews are likely to occasion, if they are the cause of our divines writing refutations of them conceived in the spirit of such works, or if they lead our young students to the perusal of such works. Above all will great good arise out of the evil if both are led to a more calm, thoughtful, earnest attention to that study of which two*, at least, of the much maligned writers of the essays remind us that it is the great work of our day—l mean the study of the Bible.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, Feb. 21.

But the most material mischief, and what archreolo gists will much regret, is that which has been done to the fine old Abbey gateway. For a long time the local authorities have contemplated the resto ration of this beautiful specimen of mediaeval architecture, but as the , plans prepared by Mr. Scott, of London, involved an outlay of above £l,OOO, which is the amount at their disposal for the purpose, the work has been delayed for a modi fication of the plans. The principal of the three arches and the western tower have for a long time been in such a dilapidated state that it was deemed to he prudent to shore them up, and stop up the passage through the gateway. During the last fortnight workmen have been employed in removing the lead from the roof, weighing several tons, and the large oaken beams, which were thought by some to be too heavy for the tottering state of the building to sustain. Four men were at work on the scaffolding yesterday afternoon, a little before five o'clock, when the wind again became furious, and made the building oscillate. As portions of the walls crumbled and fell down, the men felt their position to be unsafe, and descended the scaffold to go to the other side of the archway to nail up some boards, to prevent persons walking under the archway, to prevent accident. They had scarcely left the scaffold five minutes when a sudden gust of wiad came on and blew down a portion of the western tower, and with it the whole of the fine arch of the gateway on the north side fell. Had the men remained at work on the scaffold they must inevitably have been killed. When they heard the crash on the spot which they had left but a few minutes previously they were greatly alarmed, and regarded their escape from death as purely providential. The Abbey gateway, history states, was built in the reign of Henry H., about 200 years after the famous Abbey. On removing the oaken timbers from the roof a few days ago there was found a record, evidently made by a workman, of the repair of that building in the year 1702. The partial destruction of this work of an- tiquity by the hurricane has excited considerable interest in the town, and the spot has been visited by persons throughout the day, At the Great Western Railway station the hurricane stripped the roofs of their zinc coverings and broke several windows. No damage, however, occurred to any of the carriages or trains. CHATHAM, FEB. 22. The gale which prevailed yesterday afternoon and evening from the S.S.W , and lasted during nearly the whole night, was one of the most fear ful ever experienced in this locality, and more re sembled the tornadoes of tropical climates than anything usually known in these latitudes. The damage done to the shipping at this port, and also to the property in the neighbourhood, has been very considerable. During the time the hurricane was at its height, two Government lighters, lying off the dockyard alongside the Elizabeth, Kelso master, from Moulmein, with timber for this dock yard, sank, each of them having a considerable portion of the cargo of that vessel on board. Im mediately the disaster was reported to the officer commanding the Wellesley, 74, the guardship at the port, a number of sailors were despatched to the Elizabeth to render that vessel assistance, or there is no doubt she would have filled and sank from the imminent peril in which she stood. Every precaution was taken on board the vessels of war in harbour to prevent their dragging or breaking adrift, but, in consequence of the good anchorage afforded, the whole of them rode out the gale in safety. In several parts of the town, and also in the neighbouring city of Rochester, the fury of the gale was particu larly felt. A large windmill, erected on a very exposed position at the top of Frindsbury-hill, belonging to Mr. Kimmins, miller, was partially swept away, two of the large sails and a portion of a third being blown down and shattered to pieces, causing considerable damage to the premises be neath, on which they fell with a tremendous crash. The new range of buildings in course of erection for the Royal Engineers at Brompton Barracks had a portion of the zinc covering on the roof stripped off by the gale. Considerable fears were entertained for the safety of the large glasshouse erected at the top of the building for photographic purposes, but, every precaution having been taken for its safety, it experienced no injury. A iblock of new houses being erected on the New-road, facing the south, where they experienced the full effects of the gale, received much damage, and had a quantity of the roofing torn off. Several houses in the locality have been partially stripped of their tiles, and, during the period the hurricane was at its height, pedes trians in the streets stood in the greatest peril from falling chimney pots, slates, and tiles. In the country around the effects of the gale are percep tible by the number of fine trees which are up rooted and scattered in various directions, many of them presenting the appearance of having been torn up and hurled some distance. The gale mode rated this morning, and during the afternoon there was only a light wind from the south-south-west. WARWICK, FRIDAY. The gale which prevailed yesterday has been unprecedently violent, and has done very great injury to property in Warwick, Leamington, and the adjoining district. The hurricane blew here with such fury between the hours of 1 and 3 in the morning, and again at 9 p.m., as to shake houses so that few could sleep. While cottages have been overturned, a church has been partly unroofed (Lmscote), and the damage is greater than ever previously effected by a gale in this neighbourhood. Mr. J. Kemp, grocer and chandler, had a most narrow escape with his family in the Warwick mar ket-square. He was sleeping with his wife in the top story of a house surmounted with a sloping " half roof" and two very large stacks of chimneys, and his two children, who had been aroused from their sleep by the violence of the hurricane, had scarcely crept into bed with their father and mother before one of the chimneys was blown down, and broke through into the bedroom, and the fragments prevented all egress from the room in the usual way. Mr. Kemp fortunately recollected the exis tence of a concealed and closed up passage behind the bedstead, the only part of the room left intact, and, using a small iron safe as a battering ram, he at length rescued his wife and children from their perilous situation. Many ancient cedars adorning the lawn of Warwick Castle and 50 cedars and elms in the Priory grounds have been in the same manner destroyed. The violence of the storm will be regretted by very many excur sionists from Birmingham who frequent the summer picnics and fetes in these beautiful grounds. At Stratford-upon-Avon, Charlecote, Wellesbourne, and in fact throughout the southern portion of Warwickshire, the damage done to the timber of this finely-wooded county has been unprecedented and immense. The road from Leamington to War wick has been completely obstructed, so that traffic was stopped owing to the wrecks of fallen trees. LEICESTER, FRIDAY. A gale of almost unexampled soverity visited this town and district for several hours on Wednesday night, accompanied with heavy rain. In the town chimney-pots, tiles, and slates were blown about like chaff, and the strongest buildings shaken; while in the whole county surrounding stacks of corn were demolished, and some magnificent timber uprooted. On Thursday evening the wind rose again, and continued to blow from the same quarter, with almost equal power, and many small buildings, walls, fences, and stacks of timber were overthrown. No serious damage to property or personal injury has resulted. BRISTOL, FRIDAY. Another gale, equal in violence to that of Wed nesday night, visited this place last evening. From 5 to 7 p.m. the wind blew with great fury, varying from S.W. to W.S.W., from which latter point it continued till about 10 p.m., when its force abated. The mercury fell till 6 p.m., after which hour it rose rapidly. Telegraphic communication between London and the north, and this city is still sus pended, the damage done to the wires, previously uninjured, last night being considerable. A house in Somerset-square, Cathay, suffered severely from the violence of the storm, and its inmates narrowly escaped with their lives. A tall stack of chimneys in the rear of the premises was blown down, and, falling on the roof, the fragments forced their way to the ground floor, destroying the furniture in the se - veral rooms, and depositing an immense quantity of bricks, tiles, &c., ou the parlour floor. Two women, who were the only persons living in the house, had only quitted the room a few moments before, and thus escaped destruction. The cross of St. Raphael's-court, Bedminster, a recently-erected edifice, together with about half a ton of masonry, was dislodged. At Clevedon, Keynsham, Shore hampton, Thornbury, Mangotsfield, Brislington, and other places, serious injury resulted from the storm. At Weston-super-mare, Trinity Church, a new building, which was nearly finished, has be come a complete wreck. Upwards of 25 feet of the spire was literally dashed to atoms, many portions falling through the roof and causing sad FEBRUARY 21. The Queen has been pleased to give and grant unto Lieut.

THE METROPOLIS AND SUBURBS. At the church of St. Mary, Lambeth, which ad joins the Archbishop's Palace, the damage has been most extensive. About 7 o'clock in the evening of Thursday it was found that the wind had stripped off about 30 feet of the massive leaden covering over the nave, dragging with it a portion of the roof. The lead of the south aisle was :also torn ff for about 15 feet, as well as injuring the roof. Shortly after this a lofty stone chimney was dashed from the roof of the vestry, and hurled with ♦iolence into the graveyard, where portions of the stone of very , heavy weight were found buried in the earth seve ral inches below the surface. In Fore-street and Vauxhall-street the roadway was strewn with tiles, bricks, &c., blown from the roofs of the houses. A very large portion of the picture of Venice at the Royal Surrey Gardens, extending to nearly the centre towards the west end, was caught by the hurricane and hurled to the ground, including the massive scaffolding. The mass fell towards the lake, and was torn and damaged to a serious ex tent. _ _ _ About 7 o'clock in the evening a terrific crash alarmed the inhabitants of Mill -street, Lambeth walk, when it was ascertained that a great portion of the roof of a house in that thoroughfare, belong ing to and adjoining the factory of Mr. H. Baker, coachbuilder, had been blown in. Two children were in one room, and a man and his wife and one child in another room on the same floor, when the gale forced down the stack of chimneys, which fell on to the roof, crushing it in. The whole of the fragments fell into the room where these persons were, all of whom narrowly escaped, but the furni ture was extensively damaged. At the establishment of Messrs. Moses and Son, Aldgate, the wind forced out the massive sheet of plate glass in the show-room, the shattered frag ments being carried into the street with terrible force. During the height of the gale a stack of chimneys on the house, No. 4, Brighton-place, Brixton road, was forced down, and fell into the window of the adjoining house, destroying a great quantity of fur niture, and doing considerable damage. In the Lower Hope two collier vessels were blown on shore, and below Woolwich Reach a heavily laden hoy was sunk, but fortunately no lives were lost. Two barges, heavily laden, were sunk oppo site the Brunswick-pier, Blackwall, and a whole fleet of barges and lighters might have shared the same fate but for the prompt measures taken by the authorities at the East India Docks, who ordered the main gates to be opened and all craft in danger were admitted into dock. At Woolwich Dockyard a considerable portion of the roof of the newly erected church was blown off, and also the corru gated zinc roof of the mast-house, next the river. An explosion took place on Thursday night at the gunpowder mills of Messrs. Curtis and Harvey, near Hounslow. Messrs. Curtis and Harvey's manufac tory, or, more correctly speaking, series of factories, occupy some miles of ground. The spot on which the present disaster happened was at Hatton, nearly two miles distant, the property of the Duke of Northumberland—Hatton-lane, nearly facing Judge Pollock's mansion, only separating one description of work from the other, two pieces of machinery being driven by the same mill head, the lower flow supplying two houses. At the works at Hounslow immense streams of water run between the different mills and corning houses, and, as was the case at Hatton, tall trees were so planted that, in the event of an explosion occurring, they would to some ex tent break its force. At the time the hurricane or gale commenced on Thursday night, the men who were engaged in five of the mills were ordered to leave the premises and take shelter for a time in the watchhouse. This they did, and most fortu nately they did so, for at 20 minutes after eight o'clock, while the work-people were in the watch house awaiting the subsiding of the storm, an explosion, and one of no small magnitude, hap pened. The explosion which took place shook the houses at Teddington and Twicken ham to their very foundations •, the inmates had no sooner got into the streets than another and still more violent explosion followed, which again shook the neighbourhood, and portions of trees were cast across the mill streams in sundry direc tions; another, and one still more serious, super vened which blew to atoms another corning-house and two other similar buildings. The machines weighed on the average about three tons each, and, owing to their great weight, the working gear was only partially destroyed. The men were ordered, after the storm had somewhat subsided, to resume their employment in 20 minutes time, but, owing to the buildings being 20 feet long and 25 feet wide, the workmen were unable to reach their several compartments, and thereby their lives were saved. The engines belonging to the firm, as well as others of the neighbourhood, were quickly in attendance, and to pa achincs were set to work from the water in thirtaill streams ; the flames were eventually extinguished, but not until five of the mills were levelled with the ground and the stock therein con sumed, The machinery is also, although not en tirely destroyed, extensively damaged by the force of the explosion. It is hardly necessary to state that the mills destroyed were uninsured. Taking the line of the South Western Railway from Wa terloo-road to the above spot, something like an approximate idea of the force of the gale may be formed—trees, fencings, summer-houses in gentle men's gardens, and quickset hedges, have been rent asunder, and the roofs of various buildings have been uplifted by the force of the hurricane. READING, FEB. 22. The wind blew a fearful hurricane here yester day, and extensive mischief has been done. It was about one o'clock in the morning when people generally were awoke from their sleep:by sudden and heavy gusts of wind from the southwest, and the inmates of old houses were not a little alarmed at the unpleasant oscillation which they experienced. At about two o'clock a tre mendous crash was heard in the neighbourhood of Kattsgrove-lane, and it was soon afterwards ascertained that it was caused by the falling of from thirty to forty feet of the high chimney at the extensive ironworks of Messrs. Barrett, Exall, and Andrewes. It was fortunate that the accident occurred at a time when the men were not at work, or the consequences must have been serious, if not fatal, In the fall the brickwork did not do so much damage as might have been imagined from the many tons weight of brick and iron which formed the fragments. Some portion of the remaining chimney has been so loosened by the hurricane that it will Lave to be removed before any new work can be added. About the same time the wind forced down a considerable length of woodwork in the Forbary, forming the grounds in the occupation of Messrs. Sutton and Sons, seed `growers, and damage was done to some of the adjacent property, but not to any great extent. PRICE 41) . STAMPED, ST). devastation. The scaffolding was blown to the ground from the violence of the hurricane, and the damage done at this spot must amount to many hundred pounds. In the neighbouring villages of Bleadon, Kewstoke, and Worle, the gale was also severely felt—rdofs, trees, and hayricks being scat tered in all directions. With all these disasters on land, it speaks well .for the safety of the Bristol Channel that the casualties reported as arising from these trementlofis' gales are few and compara tively trifling. EXETER, FRIDAY. In Exeter the damage to property is very great. Houses were partially unroofed, walls were blown dawn and a vast number of large treeswere uprooted. In the Cathedral-yard one of the old elm trees which stood near the venerable structure was blown down. In the streets flys and carts were overturned by the violence of the gale. At Topsham several houses were uprooted and windows smashed. The schooner Paz, belonging to Denmark, broke from her moorings, and so many of the trees in the high way were blown down that the road in many places is impassable. In the rural districts the storm did much damage to the homesteads. Ricks of corn and hay were blown down, and great loss has been sus tained. At Torquay the hurricane was terrific and much destruction of property was caused: A cook in the employ of Mr. Sidgreaves, Falkland Villa, was killed by a chimney falling through the roof into the kitchen. A large elm tree fell in upon Torre Church and demolished the outer porch. The tele graphic wires for some distance on the Bristol and Exeter Railway were blown down, and all commu nication stopped. Such destructive gales have not been remembered for many years. PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY. The storm which prevailed here so severely yes terday subsided as the night advanced, and this morning it was comparatively calm. The sea how ever continues to run very high. There is a report that an iron-built ship went ashore last night in Hamoaze. The Belgian brigantine Joseph, which was driven into Batten Bay yesterday by the Hia watha, floated off as the tide rose, and is now safe in. Sutton Harbour. Shipwrights are at work on the schooner Pigeon, laden with gunpowder, which grounded under the citadel, and hopes are enter tained that she will be got off. The fore and aft • schooner which ran on the Batten Ridge is called the Freedom, of Jersey. If the weather continues moderate there is a remote chance of her being saved. The strange barque which fouled the schooner Devon yesterday afternoon is called the Fury, Captain Lorentz, a Prussian, from Memel for Belfast. Having grounded at half-tide she is likely to come off to-day, as her cargo consists of deals. When Capt. Fowler observed the barque driving in an unmanageable state, stern foremost, towards the Devon, he skilfully hoisted his jib to give the schooner a cant to the northward, and then veered out chain. In this condition the blow from the bark, which went to the southward, fell with less force. Her foremast caught the schooner's jibboom and bowsprit, both of which fortunately gave way with the foretopmast, and the schooner's ground tackle held on. She is supplied with Brown and Harfield's patent windlass, which much facilitated the process of veering out cable. Two of her crew were so much alarmed that they jumped on board the barque and were stranded in her. Commander Henry Phelps, Inspecting Commander of Coastguard, Mr. Bath, and the other officers, and the men under them, have been very sedulous in their attention to the wrecked vessels, some of the crews of which they have saved. No lives were lost yesterday. During the storm steam was kept up on board the paddlewheel sloop Geyser, 6, Commander Jackson, in the Sound, to assist her anchors. FALMOUTH, FEB. 22. For the past 48 hours it has blown a succession of heavy gales with unprecedented severity, and almost entirely from the southward, accompanied by rain. The large fleet of merchantmen in the roads and harbour hare ridden out well, notwith standing they amount to fully 200 sail, with one or two exceptions of collision ; the Dutch ship Two Gesasters, from Batavia, drove foul of the barque Grecian Queen, from Venice, and each sustained damage in hull and spars, on the night of the 20th ; and another collision of less importance took place on the 19th, between the Norway barque Soerimner and the barque Woodhouse. These are the total casualties, in addition to the accident by drowning of the master of the Dutch brigantine Levant, with one of the crew, by the capsizing of a boat in going off during the gale. The works at the docks have sustained no damage whatever by the gales, and the breakwater, which has been carried out 120 feet beyond the granite structure, has stood-undis turbed the test of the wind and sea, to which it was exposed in full front. THE COUNTY AND THE BOROUGH FRANCHISE. MR. LOCKE KING'S AND MR. BAINES'S BILLS. The following is the bill brought into the House of Commons by Mr. Locke King and Mr. Hastings Russell, to extend the franchise in counties in Eng land and Wales : " Whereas it is expedient to extend the elective franchise to many of her Majesty's subjects who have not heretofore enjoyed the same: Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and con s:nt of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows : " 1.
