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.

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of the pro prietors was held at one o'clock at the London Tavern, Mr. T. M. Farquhar in the chair. The report,previously published,was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said the most important point which he had to bring before the meeting was the falling down of the north wing of the building. However much that disaster was to be regretted, it was one which could not have been avoided. 'That that part of the building was in a sound state was evident from the fact that it withstood the storm until a late period of the even ing. It was not intended to restore it to its former extent. A portion of the space would be devoted to the rearing of plants of a rare and delicate na ture. The expense of restoring that part of the building, and adapting it to this new purpose, would not exceed £3,600, £2,000 of which would be spread over future years. As regarded the finances, he had every reason to believe that the company was in a growing state of prosperity, and he ces oren wouldahs si o de hoped b e r d dea ttevlhnie dividend. l t ebenl a ned t gd. t t ht h o( e tepo e hr ntoehdep the qu e s ti on e a the s a t y i s e f a a r c t t o he ry di a r n e d c t o i n r ) H e t h o e f n advertedthe Sunday at opening of the palac e an d grounds. After giving a history of the formation and progress of the share clubs, he congratulated the meeting on the fact that 40,000 persens were admitted on a recent Sunday, adding that any evils that might have arisen were attributable to the circumstance that what occurred was intended as a demonstration, and was therefore subject to the ordinary accompaniments of demon strations. As regarded the future he observed that the directors had no wish to depart from the reso lution passed on this subject by a majority of the shareholders, and that if it was considered des ira ble just mentioned an opening similar to that which he had mentioned should occur again the tickets must be issued by the executive, in order that there might be no just cause of complaint. Mr. BILLINGS thought it undesirable to admit any but shareholders on Sundays, on the ground that it would interfere with the profits of the company. Mr. PUNCHER took the same view, but at the same time bore testimony, from personal observa tion, to the orderly conduct of the 40,000 visitors. After some discussion the report was adopted. CITY COMMISSION OF SEWERS. Yesterday, at a meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers, held at Guildhall, Deputy Christie in the chair, Dr. Letheby, the medical officer, reported, touching the sanitary condition of the city, on the state of 189 houses that had been inspected during the week, and he submitted a list of 49 places for sanitary improvement. He also reported that the officers had seized 1,5281 b. of meat and 19 head of game and poultry as unfit for human food. Much of this was in a putrid condition, and 1,4611 b. were diseased. All of it had been destroyed as unfit for food. The mortality returns aro still below the average for the season, the number of deaths for the week being 49, instead of 55, which is the aver age number for the corresponding period of the last five years. 17 of the deaths were among children of less than 5 years of age, and 18 among old per sons of 60 and upwards. Most of the deaths were from diseases of a chronic character. The number of deaths from affections of the lungs has been greatly reduced during the last fortnight, and last week there were but five deaths from zymotic dis eases —namely, two from scarlet fever and one from each of the following—whooping-cough, croup, and diphtheria.- There were no deaths from fever, diarrhoea, or the other diseases common to the sea son. Deputy Farrar presented a memorial signed.

Mr. Farrar said all a tt empts to t abate the nuisance in question had signally failed, and the business and health of the persons in the immediate vicinity were sensibly affected by it. In 1853 Mr. Simon, the then officer of health to the commission, reported against the ev il, wh i ch was felt as much g as ly now, and in 1858 D r. L ethe b y did the same; tsrhterecoonn m mending at the same time recourse to certain regulations for abating it. Messrs.

From a table published by the New York E.o nonzist, in May, 1860, we learn that at that period there were in the Union 1,476 bank, possessing a realised capital of 401,976,242 dollars. Since the crisis of 1857 the realised capital of these banks has increased by a sum of 31,000,000 dollars. The proportion borne by specie to bank paper differs in various States. In the Eastern States it amounted a year ago to 331 per cent. ; in the Central States to 88 per cent.; in the Southern States to 281 per cent. ; in the South-Western to 74 ; and in the Western to 19 per cent. In the four years preceding 1860 the number of emigrants to America from Europe has sensibly diminished, as will be apparent from the following statement : In 1856 there arrived in the United States from Europe 224,496 emigrants. „ 1857 „ 1858 „ 1859 '['he number of emigrants who landed at New York in 1860 only amounted to 103,621. Previous to the secession of the Southern States the regular army of the Union amounted to 12,900 men, and the militia to 3,070,987, of which number 51.460 were officers. A year ago there were 27,857 miles of railroad in actual operation in the States ; at present many of the liner are closed and the traffic suspended. The European countries whose commerce will most suffer from the civil war now prevailing are Great Britain, Spain, France, with the Brazils. The importations from England and the exports from America to this country exceed five times in value the commodities imported from and exported to France, as will ap pear from the following figures :—The imports from England in 1859, according to the latest accounts, amounted in value to 157,993,877 dols., while those from France only amounted to 31,447,005 dols. The exports from American ports to England and her colonies were valued in the same year at 215,679,761 dols., and to France at 45,107,074 dole. American importations from Spain considerably exceed those from France, amounting, as they do, in value to 44,505,409 dole. The exports from the States to Spain are but one-half the value of the imports, amounting only to 22,917,402. The value of the imports of the free States from foreign countries, according to the latest accounts, amounted to 305 ,813,000 &is., while the slave States imported o n l y to the amount of 32,955,000 wae T xvh h eni eel while e dtt x ahit p ene o s f r vre t ae s xlepu o efso export tah h tet e eo s ae xt a hp v eeor e ryp S taos t lr a uht t efa e tt s oih , of e o nl n fsBr 7e t a h e, r6 e es2 t o 7oa t , ont h eol e syo r . hand, dole. T v d a olil l es u . e : d at 169,163,000 dole. The population of the free States was reckoned in the year 1860 at 27,667,000, while the population of the slave States was only 3,910,000. The export ing and importing fr ee S tates are sixteen in number, the principal being New - York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, Con necticut, and California. The slave States carry ing on an import and export trade are ten, viz., Louisiana, Maryland, the two Carolinas, Virginia, Delaware, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and Texas. In the years 1858 and 1859 the number and ton nage of European ships entering the American ports were as follows : (1) English 18,75 851 vessels, carrying 4,202,105 tons. (2) Hanseatic )1 448,616 „ (3) Spanish 483 79 140,155 „ (4) Swedish 174 66,722 „ (5) French 132 7 7 43,788 „ It will be seen from this table that England alone sent eighteen times as many ships to the States as all the rest of Europe, and five times as much tonnage. The Northern States chiefly produce the cereals and plants found in Northern Europe. In the Cen tral States tobacco and hemp are chiefly grown. In the Southern States, properly so called, the prin cipal products are:cotton, rice, and sugar. Indian corn grows in all the States. Of late years the vine has been much grown in particular localities. The numerous German emigrants settled in Ohio and Missouri assiduously cultivate the vine, and sell at Cincinnati and St. Louis a wine said to be very tolerable. In the year 1859 the district of Los Angelos exported 325,000 gallons of this wine to San Francisco. The cotton crop of 1859 and 1860 exceeded all former yields of that material. It produced 4,675,770 bales, being 824,289 bales in excess of the cotton harvest of 1858 and 1859; 3,774,173 bales, or four-fifths of the total of this amount, was exported to Europe, England receiving 2,669,432 bales, France 5 8 9,587 bales, and the North of Europe and other countries the re mainder. aojfestys Emigration C o their' intention to receive nl in i !i EM o n i e G r R s A h T a l v O e N g . i — vert li n e o r ti M ee tenders to-morrow (Thursday) for three ships—viz., two for the conveyance of Chinese emigrants from Hong Kong or Whampoa to British Guiana, to be ready for the recep tion of passengers on the 14th November and 16th Decem ber; and one for the conveyance of a p ar t y o f em i grants from this country to Natal, to sail not sooner than the Ist of August.

The troops that were pushed into Virginia last week have since occupied their time in throwing up earthwork intrenchments. With that exception no move of importance has taken place since my last letter. General Scott's position to the west of the Potomac is now regarded as secure. His lines ex tend from a point opposite Georgetown to Alexan dria, and the advance scouts are thrown out to the westward about 20 miles. The bridges on the rail way from Alexandria to Leesburg —up the valley of the Potomac towards Harper's Ferry —have been destroyed by direction of General Scott, and the rebel forces have done the same with the bridges on the railway leading from Alexandria, by way of Fairfax, to the Manasses Gap. It is stated in the telegrams from Washington this morning that the Southern troops are concentrating on Manasses Gap and constructing intrenchments there. As this would be the most natural thing for them to do I think it very likely that the news is correct. The possession of the Manasses Gap Railway by the Go vernment forces would cut off direct communication between the Harper's Ferry forces and those sta tioned at Richmond; and General Scott's move ments point plainly to such a possession. Then the large force collected at Harper's Ferry and in the valley of Virginia must either fight or retreat. The Government continue to collect forces at Gettys burg and Chambersburg, near the Pennsylvania line in front of them—the force at the Relay-house on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad below them is increased, and troops continue to go forward to Washington. Since my letter by the Great Eastern three days since, four regiments of 1,000 each have gone from this part of the country, one of them a New Hampshire regiment, and three from the City of New York. Thus you will see that, as General Scott increases his forces, he begins to draw his lines closer about Harper's Ferry. Troops also con tinue to go forward to Fort Monroe, though not in so large numbers. I observe that some of the best regi ments have been sent there. Duryce's Zouaves, the best regiment that has gone from New York, and the Vermont regiment, also made up of picked men, have both gone there. The total force re ported at Fort Monroe is 6,000, enough for defen sive purposes, or to detain a hostile force that other wise might be moved North, but apparently not enough for any offensive movement. The Union vote in Virginia is unexpectedly large, and some of the Northern newspapers are hoping for a majority. Ido not think there is the slightest chance for such a result. The Secession authorities have the counting of the votes, which will be enough to prevent such a result, even were it otherwise possible. The State of North Carolina has seceded, and has also joined the Southern Confederacy absolutely, without any condition of reference to the people. I shall fail in my duty as a faithful correspon dent if I longer neglect to speak of the growing, and, so far as I can judge, deep-seated feeling of regret in the popular mind at the manner in which England has received the news of the war. This sentiment began to manifest itself about a month since, when the public first thought that it per ceived manifestations of a change in English public sentiment towards the South, and it has steadily increased with each day. I hear from all classes and all sides bitter complaints against the Govern ment—more bitter and more heartfelt than the pas sionate outbreaks which you will find in the news papers—complaints that the Government hastened, on the first news of war, to give to the rebels the support even of a proclamation of neutrality, recog nising them as entitled to equal countenance and consideration with this Government, which has long been on such friendly terms with the people of Eng land. 'Why, it is asked by such persons, does the British Government meet the United States, con tending with persons in rebellion to extend the domain of Slavery, with a different and harsher policy than it had for Austria contending with Hungary P What has the United States done that England should welcome its disintegration ? How would England have received a proclamation of neutrality when Ireland or India rebelled ? Why, then, has the British Cabinet made such hot haste said, o n d give th s t is f a e t e u l i s n t g o is rebeldes deep - s e e r ? A a e te d widespread,s I threatening. I can only speak, from my own knowledge, of the feeling in New York ; but I hew the same account from all parts of the interior. I can speak positively about New York, that the public mind is, however unjustly, rapidly becoming possessed of the idea that England sympathises with Southern Slavery in its attacks upon the in stitutions of this country ; and that under this apprehension or misapprehension, the good and 'kindly feeling which three generations of peaceful and friendly relations have created are vanishing away. Indeed, whatever may be the fate of the rebellion, whether successful or a failure, and no matter what may be hereafter said in England when the relative strength of the two parties is better known, I fear that it will be long before the hearty admiration—one might almost say affection—for England that existed throughout the North two months since will be restored. The new Government loan was taken on Satur day at rates equivalent to about 7 per cent. The loan was apportioned as follows :—Funded stock at 85 to 86, 7,319,750 dols.; Treasury notes at par, 1,674,250 dols. The successful bidders are rapidly paying their gold into the Sub-Treasury, where the balance is about 9,500,000 dols., with a probability of being 12,000,000 dole. before the close of the week. The presidents of the leading banks of New York have addressed the following letter (which speaks for itself) to the Governor of the State : " New York, May 13. To HIS EXCELLENCY E. D. MORGAN, GOVERNOR OP THE STATE OF NEW YORK. " Sir,—By proclamation, dated the 26th day of April last, Joseph E. Brown, Governor of the State of Georgia, sets forth and declares that property of the citizens of Georgia, whenever found within thelimits of the anti-slavery States, in which the said Governor includes the State of New York, is seized and forcibly taken from its owners. "And Governor Brown further forbids and refuses to allow the citizens of Georgia to pay their indebtedness, of whatever kind or nature, to any citizens of this State, but invites them to pay the same into the Treasury of the State of Georgia, in any funds bankable in Augusta or Savannah, and to receive therefore a certificate of sums so deposited. We now, as officers of banks in the city of New York, doing business with banks, bankers, and merchants of Georgia, and other States, known as the Confederate States of America, now in revolt against the Government of the United States, deem it proper to apprise your Excellency that we do distinctly deny the truth of the statements so made by the said Governor of the State of Georgia. " The banks of this city have paid, and continue to pay, in every case, all draughts against funds deposited, whether by Southern, Western, or Northern banks, bankers, or other dealers, and any statement or allegation to the con trary is wholly unfounded.

They never come on momentarily ; premonitory symptoms always herald their advent, which may assuredly be altogether averted by timely use of Hol loway's preparations, which draw the blood from the head. The Ointment should be rubbed into the nape and sides of the back twice a day, while the Pills are being taken. Th e Pills and Ointment soon equalise the circulation, remove the giddiness, and overcome the nervousness. After regu lating the flow of blood, these purifying remedies act most beneficially on every organ ; and during their wholesome operation the entire body is rvudered healthier than, before the threatened attack.

The reconstruction and enlargement of No. 1 dock at Chatham Dockyard—the works connected with which have: been some considerablii time 'in progress, in consequence of the difficulties encoun tered in the formation of the new entrance from the river—are being rapidly proceeded with by Messrs. Foord and Sons. In order to afford accommodation for docking vessels of the size of the present line of-battle ships, which were unthought of when this dock was originally constructed, it is the intention of the Admiralty to carry the entrance to No. 1 dock some distance beyond its original limits. A spacious basin, little less than 400 feet in length, will be obtained. Chatham already possesses one dock of this kind, but it is likely to be occupied for the next two years, as the Achilles, 50, is ordered to be constructed in it.

His Royal Highness the General Commanding in-Chief will hold a levee at the Horse Guards at one o'clock on Thursday, the 20th inst. From information obtained at Chatham yester day, it appears to be uncertain whether the troops composing that garrison will take part in the bat talion movements to be undertaken by the London Rifle Brigade on Chatham Lines on Saturday after noon next, preparatory to the review of the brigade in Hyde Park on the following Saturday by the Duke of Cambridge. The depot of the Ist battalion of the 20th Regi ment at Chatham, being above its required strength, volunteering has been opened for the 2d battalion of the same regiment. Immediately after it was announced that volunteering would be allowed, a large number of men offered themselves for the 2d battalion, but only 27 of the number were accepted. Each of the volunteers receives one sovereign. They will proceed to join the 2d bat talion at Aldershott on Friday next. Volunteering from several other of the Indian depots at Chatham, which are above their proper numbers, has also been opened. The following officers and troops belonging to the three battalions of infantry at Chatham garri son have been placed under orders to embark for India to join the service companies of their respec tive regiments in the Bengal, Madras, and Bombay Presidencies, as soon as the necessary amount of tonnage has been taken up for them by the Coun cil :—First Battalion—Ensign W.

The ship sailed from Hong Kong on Jan. 3 ; Singapore, Jan. 17 ; Cape of Good Hope, April 14 ; and St. Helena, April 27. Fine weather Was experienced throughout the passage, and the Sir,—The subject of contracting for iron ships, engines, and anchors was several times discussed in the House of Commons last week, and in refer ence to this subject Lord C. Paget said : "It was true they might advertise ; but would the Government be justified in allowing strange parties to tender for the manufacture of first-class anchors any more than they would for that of first class engines ?" The rule of the Admiralty, in respect to engine contracts, is understood to be as follows : The premises, and facilities for executing work, of the parties applying to be put upon the list of engine makers are surveyed, and if approved they are then called upon for tenders, and placed into several classes in s omet hi ng lik e the following order —say, makers up to 200-horse power, 200 to 400, 400 to 600, 600 to 800, 800 and upwards. All makers who have norsupplied engines to the Admiralty before are placed in the lowest grade, working up only step by step, even though they may have made engines of the largest class and undeniable quality for other parties. As the manufacture of engines for the Admiralty has lately been confined to very few parties, it will, of course, take many years before any number of makers get into the higher grades, which limits materially the competition for large-sized engines. When the Admiralty decide to order a lot of engines, makers whose names are on the Admiralty list are invited to send in tenders for engines to exert a stated amount of power, the designs requi:___.---.... site to carry out the various TaqirPilenta beint ' - left to the engine-maker, the - Aclunralty satisfying themselves, from the plans and details submitted, that they will accomplish the desired objects. This is an important point, as it enables the Admiralty to judge of the competency of the dif ferent firms to design as well as to execute work, and has been the means of bringing into play, for public benefit, the talent of such firms as Messrs. Penn and Son, Messrs. Maudslay and Field, and others who have made so many excellent engines for the Government. Anchors, it appears, will be placed on the same footing with engines, the present makers retaining the principal portion of the work until other parties have had an opportunity of showing that they can execute work of good quality for the Admiralty. With regard to ships, the course adopted is very different. Instead of asking for designs from the various builders selected, as they do from engine makers, the Admiralty make the designs them selves, and only ask for tenders to carry out their own plans. No preference is given to builders who have completed contracts satisfactorily for the Admiralty before, as is the case in engine -making, but all parties tendering are placed on the same footing. Enormous penalties of L 20,000, £40,000, and even £50,000 are also imposed by the contracts for non completion within the time specified, and other causes, a course not adopted in the case of engines. If these penalties arc intended to be enforced, the result may be a most serious matter even to contractors of the largest means, and if not meant to be enforced they had better be left out of the contract altogether, or it is a manifest injustice to those who may decline from prudential motives to enter into such heavy responsibilities. If it is necessary in engine making to classify the parties tendering, and to ascertain by experi ence those who are competent to design as well as to execute work of an important character, the same principle should surely apply to iron-cased ships, a novel description of work, and one requiring the greatest care in designing and executing. The public service certainly would not be damaged by requiring the builders asked to tender to send in designs, leaving the question as to the fitness of those designs to accomplish the required objects to the decision of the Controller of the Navy, as is the case in regard to engines. —I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN LAIRD. Birkenhead, June 10. RAILWAY INTELLIGBNCE. HALIFAX AND QUEBEC. It appears that great efforts are now being made to revive this project and to obtain the requisite support from the Government. The promoters state that in 1838, on the establishment of Trans atlantic steam navigation, Lord Melbourne's Admi nistration directed,Lord Durham to report upon the best mode of opening up a communication between Halifax and Quebec. In 1839 Lord Dur ham, in his report on British North America, strongly urged the construction of a railway. In 1843 a survey for a military road was made at the instance of the Home Government, but was after wards abandoned in favour of a railway. In 1846 the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the present Chancellor of the Exchequer, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, organised a survey for a rail way by Royal Engineers. In 1848 that survey was completed, and the report thereon by Major Robin son and Captain Henderson was presented to Par liament in February, 1849. Canada, New Bruns wick, and Nova Scotia contributed £30,000 to the expenses of that survey. In 1851 Lord John Rus sell's Administration, through Lord Grey, the Colonial Minister, in a despatch to the Governor- General of British North America, dated the 14th of March of that year, pledged the Imperial gua rantee, or to advance the money from the British Treasury on an estimate that the line would cost £5,000,000 sterling. In 1852 that pledge was re newed by Lord Derby's Administration, butfell into abeyance on a question of route ; but the pledge had never been withdrawn. Canada has since that time made 2,000 miles of railway westward from Quebec, and also 114 miles of the line from Quebec towards Halifax ; New Brunswick has also made 110 miles of the line extending from Shediac to St. John's ; and Nova Scotia has made 60 miles of the line extending from Halifax to Truro, and a branch line to Windsor of 38 miles. The length of line remaining to be constructed is 350 miles, and which can be fully completed and equipped for £3,000,000 sterling. In the autumn of 1858, Canada, New Brunsmick, and Nova Scotia made a joint applica tion to the Imperial Government, eXpressing their inability to complete the undertaking without im perial aid. Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia have granted to her Majesty £60,000 per annum, and all the ungranted lands within 10 miles on either side'of the line, and a free right of way through all private property, provided her Majes ty's Government will, by themselves or through the instrumentality of a private company, complete the railway. Her Majesty's Gevernment are asked to give £60,000 per annum for the carriage of the mails, mili tary stores, and troops between Halifax and Quebec, and with that and the provincial grant guaranteed for a series of years, by the Imperial Government , the the necessary capital can be raised to complete the Governments of Canada, New Brunswick,hiniperial railway. Against the foregoing sum of X6ooaonod, Nova Scotia estimate a saving to exclusive: of the Treasury of L 70,000 per annum, e a mounts at present rgiraeiamt lita savingry expenditure,the railway w w o h u i l e d h to about £420,000 a year.of X 20,000,000 of British capital investedtointhe want of access to en v t a s Scotia to the in great jeopardy, owing British territory.

Prom th e d epositions it appeared that four men were drinking in th e h ouse of a man name d D empsey a f ter 11 o'clock. One of them, Murphy, had a dispute with a person named. M'Derniott, nephew of Mrs. Dempsey. The party then left, but returned again, and on knocking at the door, M'Dermott rushed out and stabbed Murphy in the groin. He fell bathed in blood, and was carried to the doctor's. After Murphy fell, it appears the row became genera,l and two of his friends, Mullins and Bes,tty, went into the house, where they were met by the proprietor, Dempsey. One of them kicked him and knocked I dm down, when Mullins stabbed him also in the groin. A person named O'Grady attempted to interfere, but Mull:ins said if he did it would be worse for him, On hearing the cries of murder, Mrs. M'Dermott and her niece ran to the spot when the former was knocked down and the I. atter was stabbed in the side by one of the parties. She was unable to identify the party who stabbed her. Both Mr LrphY2 n , c a l : Dempsey are in a ver y d angerous s t a t e .
