" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra.

By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief ptevented.

" 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 Spermatorrheea 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.

Camerino, as usual, rushed to the front immediately after the flag was lowered, followed by Will-o'-the-Wisp and the Knight of St. Patrick; the others, headed by Prince Plau sible, lying several lengths away. On entering the cords Grimshaw indulged his horse with a pull which enabled his immediate followers to get upon better terms with him, but on entering the dip he came away by himself, and won in a canter by ten lengths. The Knight of St. Patrick, wha came with a determined rush within half a dozen strides of the chair, obtained the second money by a neck from Will o'-the-Wisp; Prince Plausible was a bad fourth,Wing fifth, and Lady Blanche last, beaten off.

On settling into their places Grouse, on the whip-hand, made the running, having for his immediate followers Reveille, Imaus, Starlight, and Snapshot, the five running nearly abreast across the flat; but on reaching the turn of the Lands the lot closed up, and ran so to the site of the old Duke's Stand, where Grouse and Starlight came away to gether, closely followed on the upper ground by Imaus, with Will-o'-the-Wisp and Oberon lying wide on the other side. Half-way in the distance Starlight was beaten, and quickly disappeared from the front, Imaus at the same time moving towards the front, and, in a few strides got to Grouse's head, the pair finishing a fine race home, Lord Stamford winning at last by a short head.

Of other grain—namely, barley, oats, peas, beans, and Indian corn, our importations this year have been of a value little short of 10 minims, while last year they were'under 8 millions, and in 1859 under 5 millions. It is from the abundance and superiority of these crops in the harvest just secured that we shall especially experience a diminu tion of the necessity for payments to foreign countries during the next 12 months. PROSECUTION OF A DEALER Di GAME AT BRIDGNO4III. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.- - ---OR Monday, at the Bridgnorth Petty Sessions, before L. Whatmore, Esq. (Mayor), Major Acton, T. W. W. Browne, T. Smith, T. Deiglaton, W. L. Lowndes, and T. Colley, Esqs. Edwin Davies, game dealer and fishmonger, was Charged under the Ist and 2d William IV., cap. 32, section 28, with having on the 21st of September purchased two partridges from one Ann Gallior, she not being licensed to sell game. Mr. Batte, who appeared for the prosecution, said the present might appear to the bench a weak case, but it was notorious that the defendant Davies hail been known to deal with poachers for some years past, although hitherto he had carried on his nefa. rious practices's° cunningly that it had been impos sible to detect him. In the present case he believed that Mrs. Gallior had had a brace of partridges presented to her by Earl Graville's gamekeeper. She took them to the defendant Davies, who bought them for is. 6d. The Bench—What is the market price of a brace of partridges ? Mr. Batte-3s. I appear as the prosecutor my self in this case, as I am a--member of the Associa tion for the Suppression of PoaChing. The Mayor—You are no doubt employed by the association, but I certainly think on the present occasion you have rather exceeded your duty. YoU have no right to charge Davies with being in collusion with poachers unless you are able to adduce proof to that effect. You are not warranted in making such assertions. 1 think it would be as well if you were to confine yourself to facts. De fendant has hitherto borne a respectable character in this town, and I certainly think you have ex ceeded your duty. Mr. Batte—l will not submit to such observa tions. I maintain that as an advocate I have not exceeded my duty. I had a perfect right to make the observation that I have made, and I should like to know whether the other magistrates on the bench agree with the opinion expressed by the Mayor. Mr. J. IV. W. Browne—The other magistrates do not agree with the observations of the Mayor. Mr. Batte—l am glad to know that. The Mayor—l think you hive no right to make such remarks concerning a tradesman unless you are prepared to prove them. Mr. Batte—l can easily understand you. You yourself favour poachers.. You told me in your own shop that you would buy game from them. The Mityor (excitedly)—l deny it ; and I now maintain that you have no right to make such broad assertions unless you have proof to back them up. After some further colloquy, Mr. Batte said—l am surprised that the Mayor should sit on the bench and defend'a man who had been a convicted felon. Defendant—l never was a convicted felon ; I will make you prove your words. Mr. Batto—You were convicted for felony at the Shrewsbury sessions. Defendant—l was not ;it was only for a common assault. I shall bring an action against you. Mr. Batte—You may do that as soon as you like. The defendant was then fined £1 35., including costs, and his licence withdrawn. CROYDON GREAT CATTLE FAIR.

We read in Galignani:—" Mr. E. Watkin Edwards, accompanied by his friends, Mr. Harrison Ains worth and Mr. Lyster O'BeirniN arrived at Paris on Satur day last in his steam yacht Penelope, belonging to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, Ryde, having successfully navigated the Seine. ' This, we believe, is the first English yacht that has ever been moored off the Tuileries, and is 091 1 13eqllentlY NI Object of great curiosity to the l'arteiaust", The failures of the experiments in submarine telegraphic lines, and, the consequent losses at tendant on them, are of such a character that their causes deserve minute avestigation. In addition anoocr that p to the incomplete examir..ation o f th e d epths and p e e e cula e r c i h ti a e nica sof l co the n s t e r as ncOec f oceans, andpu rse the o i , ft mechanical contrivances there are still far greater obstacles to be overcome to enable a complete examifiatFou to be made, and to establish telegraphic communication between the different parts of the globe, separated by vast oceans, impenetrable deserts, or barren wilds. Such an enterprise as that of connecting the Old World with the New, and other parts of the globe, cannot be carried out without great loss of capital, and other sacrifices ; and even if successful for a time through the application of some improved con trivance,it would alwaysbe very expensive to main tain it in perfect order. The unsuccessful projects of the Atlantic and Red Sea cables, which have swallowed up nearly £2,000,000, so that these en terprises are now consifiered by men capable of judging to be dead failures, and yet they are not so impracticable as many would seem to believe, pro vided that a different and safer plan than that hitherto pursued be followed—viz., the adoption of the route through Russia, where, passing up through the Behring Straits (about 50 miles broad), the Aleutic Islands seem to form the piers of a bridge, shaped out, as it were, by nature to connect the Old with the New World. That the eastern route, via Russia, has already proved of great importance to Europe, is proved by the sensation that was excited in 1858 and 1860, when the papers received the telegraphic news, via Siberia and Russia, of peace having been concluded with China, and yet telegraphy in this part of the world is only in its infancy; it may also be added that the English and French Ambassadors at China are now using that line for their correspondence by transmitting it from Pekin through Mongolia. Another fact'may be mentioned bearing on this point—viz., that a telegraph company in England has offered several commercial houses in London to transmit their messages from and to the East Indies through Russia and China, via Pekin, which is con sidered a quicker route than the usual mode of com munication, the East Indies being connected by steam navigation with the Chinese ports, which will now be extended from Shanghae to Tien-tsin, on the river Hai-he, or the Peiho. East Indian mes sages sent by this route are forwarded to Pekin ; those from the latter place are handed over to the Russian Post-office, and transmitted to ICiachta, taking from 11 to 14 days ; thence by courier to Kasen, and sent by telegraph thence to London ; but as soon as the telegraph line, which this year will be completed to Omsk, shall reach Irkutsk (sometime in 1862), European telegrams to or from Pekin will be transmitted in 14 days. Thus the universally important Siberian line will be a fait accompli, more particularly if it is carried through America. The Russe-American telegraph line will be con structed as follows : A line as far as Omsk, via the Ural Mountains, will unite Europe with Asia this year, and the fol lowing year it will be extended to Irkutsk, so that in 1863 all the Russian ports will be connected through the sea of Japan, Nikolacvske, and the Amoor ; and telegraphic communication from the Baltic to the Pacific will be finished in the year 1864. At the same time, i.e., during the year 1862, the North Americans will construct a line as far as San Francisco, through the scarcely penetrable desert wilds and mountainous districts inhabited by the Red Indians. Thus, in the year 1862-3, there will be two well constructed telegraph lines, with two conducting wires on the two opposite shores of the Pacific ; the one leading to the shores of the Baltic will bring the telegraphic news from New York, Boston, Canada, Philadelphia, New Orleans, and from all the Northern States of the New World; and the other from Castries and Wladivostok to Europe will be connected with 'London, Paris, Lisbon, Rome, Algiers, Naples, Constantinople, and all the prin cipal cities of the Old World. Between these two telegraphic stations there is that large ocean the Pacific (several thousand miles broad), which towards the north, becomes narrowed to about 50 miles, and forms the Behring Straits. To this, the sole point of connection of the Old with the New World, the attention of several scientific gentlemen has been drawn, who considered it prac ticable to construct a telegraph between the two shores, and many, amongst whom were Colonel Shaffner (in the year 1854), Liger do Libessard (in 1857), Slegh (in 1859), and the American Collins (in 1861), offered their services to the Russian Go. vernment. But the impracticability of carrying out such a project arises from a fact with which these gentlemen were not acquainted—viz,, the nature of the coun tries around Behring Straits and the Behring Sea, such as Tschuklschy and the North-Western parts of America, through which aerial lines would have to be constructed. They are so wild, and covered with perpetual ice, that even the maintenance as well as the construction would be impossible, as no human being could exist there for any long period of time, and the length of the requisite line would of necessity require some intermediate stations. No notice need therefore be taken of a project to lay a line in this direction. But there is another direction, viz., in the south ern part of the Behring Strait, which almost seems to be pointed out by nature as the only link by which the Old could be connected with the New World. This connecting link appears in the shape of small adjacent islands, called the Aleutic Islands; and the line from Kamtschatka to America, across these islands, would be about 1,600 miles long. The sea in this region is as broad as the Atlantic be tween Valentia (Ireland) and Trinity Bay (New foundland), but with this difference, that, instead of the great and universal breadth of the Atlantic, it is studded with large and small islands, separated by small bays, the largest of which (that of Copper• Island) is about 200 miles (350 worsts) broad, the breadth of the others being as follows :- 1 1 3 1 8 .. 20 miles (25 wersts). 4 32 30 Total.. 80 islands. These islands are mostly extinguished volcanoes, mountainous, rocky, and woodless. Some of them are inhabited by Alcutes, and some are Russian and American depots. The sea in this part, with the exception of some of the hays, is never frozen over, but sometimes small pieces of thin ice, driven in from the rivers, float there, and also sometimes real polar ice. Without entering into a topographical description of the climate, &e., there, this route may, under all circumstances, be considered as the best and safest for laying down submarine cables. Such a line can be constructed either by connect ing these islands by short submarine cables and aerial lines on the land, or without the latter, by selecting seine suitable points (such as ports and in habited places) through which a long submarine cable could be conducted. In the first place, such a line would consist of 770 miles of submarine cable, and 233 miles of aerial li nes . Such a lino would at first sight appear pre ferable, as the aerial lines interconnecting it would be go much cheaper Ulu if the whole length were From these causes we may safely conclude that a submarine cable all the way from Kamtschatka to America, though in the first instance more expen sive, would be more durable, and would bring the different cables to such shores where there is a safe port and anchoring place. The following points could be selected in the Aleutic Islands for such a submarine line : From Petropavlovsk in Kamtschatka to -1 A village in Behring Island 2. Port in the Copper Island 3. Port Tschalschagove, at Attou Island 445 4. Port, at Kiska Island. • ..• 300 '1 5 Port Constantine, at the Amschilka Island 6. Bay Slava Rossu, on the Tanaga Island 7. Bay Nassau, do. 8.

Village Morschevskoe, Aliaska Island 124 „ Total or 1,875 geographical miles, The submarine line would therefore connect Kamtschatka with America, i.e., the Old with the New World ; but in order to completely encircle the world, it would have to be extended on one side as far a 3 California, and on the other to the Amoor, where all the Russo-American lines meet. From the Island Aliaska an aerial line could be erected as far as to the Russo-American colonies ; but in the other less populated countries, inhabited by wild and warlike tribes, the construction of such lines would be scarcely practicable, unless they could be properly protected. The same objection applies to the English colo nies of the Hudson's Bay Company, and further, also, to Oregon and California, and for the same reason it was found necessary by the Anglo-Ameri can Company to construct a submarine in preference to an arid line between San Francisco and Van couver's Island. Submarine cables can in the same manner be laid between Kamschatka and Aliaska, connecting the islands of Schumagine, Kardiak, and other small ones as far as the port of New Archangelsea, on Sitka, and down to the Island of Reine Charlotte. The length of this line would be 1,315 miles (2,330 vents), and it would be connected with the cable which is already laid between Vancouver and Francisco, thus establishing a communication with all the telegraph lines of America. A submarine line between Kamschatka and the Amoor would, therefore, be also preferable to aerial lines, using the latter only when urgent necessity requires. I There are four routes for such a line, Okotsk; 2. Bolcherezk ; 3. Sachaline ; 4. Japan. I. With reference to the first route, it would be likewise necessary to connect this line by small sec tional cables, as an aerial line along the shores of the Sea of Okotsk, as proposed by some engineers, would be impracticable, the country round the Sea of Okotsk being wide and uninhabitable. Starting from Nicolaevske on the Amoor, this line to Kamschatka would have to traverse the fol lowing points : 1. The Bay of St. Nicolai, inUlbon (aerial lino) 200 wersts. 2. The Chanter Islands (submarine cable) .. 200 „ 3. The Port Ajan (do.) 4. Okotsk (do.) 5. Port Tauisk (do.) 6. Cape Piaguine and lamsk (do.) _ _ _ _ _ 7. Tigel, in Kamtschatim (do.) 8. NiEehni Kamtschatka (aerial line) .. 425 „ Total 2,700 worsts, There would then only remain to be constructed a line of 275 wersts, including 105 of aerial line, from the southern part of Kamtschatka to Behring Island. The submarine line from Kamtschatka to America would therefore have to start from Cape Kamtschatka and Nischni Kamtschatka, and not from Petropavlovsk, but be connected with the lat ter by an aerial line of about 725 wersts from Nischni Kamtschatka. The line via Okotsk would therefore be of th• following length:— Submarine cable 2,075 vv•ersts, or 1,127 miles Aerial line Total 3,425 worsts, or 1,157 miles 11. Route via Boleherczk : Wersts. 1. From Port De Castries to Cape Lasareff (aerial line) 110 2. Straits of Sachaline (submarine cable) 10 3. Bay Nu, on the east shore of the Island Sachaline (aerial line) 130 4. Bolcherezk, in Kamtschatka (submarine cable) 050 5. Port Petropavlovsk (aerial line) 200 Total or 800 miles. 111. Route via Saehaline : In connection with an aerial line as far as Cape Terpenia, a submarine cable of 550 wersts (315 miles) would be laid to the Russian island Urup (Curilian Islands), and meet the line leading to Pe tropavlovsk. The length of this line would be 2,800 wersts (1,600 miles), including an aerial line of 014 wersts, or 1,200 miles. IV. The route via Japan : From the Bay St. Olga to Port Tlakodate, on the Japanese island, Matsmai. A submarine cable, of 600 wersts or 350 miles, which, following up the line in the direction of the Curilian Islands as far as Port Petropavlovsk, in Kamtschatka, would form a length of 2,500 worsts, or 1,422 miles. The different lengths of the line, via these four routes, taking liabarovska on the Amoor as a cen tral point, would be as follow : Total miles. L. Via Okotsk, 1,272 aerial line, 1,186 cable line. 2,458 2. Via Boleherezk, 6221 do. 5421 do. 1 ; 171 3. Via Sachaline, 014 do. 1,057 do. 1,971 4. Via Japan, 402 do. 1,428 do. 1,830 It will be observed that the first three.routes pass through Russian territory ; the last route from Ha kodate, along the Curilian Islands, Matsmai, Kun aschir, and' Urup, being Japanese possessions, it would, in a political point of view, appear in.conve nient, but as regards commercial interests, it would prove advantageous, Hakodate being a port used by the whole European commerce. The route via Bolcherhz[t being the shortest and most convenient, and the depth and peculiarity of the Sea of Okotsk presenting no obstacle to laying a submarine cable, and passing through more inha bited countries, preferGnce ought to be given to this route over the others, provided that no unforeseen impediment should present itself. The route via Okotsk being much longer, and therefore more expensive, besides leading towards the north, where an aerial line of 200 miles would have to be constructed through a wild and uninha bited country, the erection of such a line would be impracticable. Although the route via Sachaline is more southerly, yet it is too long and more expensive than that via Bolcherezk, and likewise more inconvenient, as it leads through the wild steppes of the Curilian Islands, which are still uninhabited. However, thin Lae appears to offer some advszi- Total , *** 6,982 3,990 Or ab out 7 ,000 worsts, or 4,670 English miles, or 1,000 G erman miles, or 4,000 nautical miles. Instead of the aerial li nes t h rough Sachaline and Kamtschatka, un d erground lines would perhaps have to b e su b stituted, owing to the wildness of that part of the country. These underground lines would ; there fore have to be considered as cable lines. TELEGRAPH TO CHINA AND JAPAN. The aerial line through Siberia, which the Russian Government is at present constructing, leads to Japan and China, and offers the quickest communi cetion with Europe. Messages from Japan can be sent to the Russian ports of IVlachvastok and S. Olga, which are situated in the Sea of Japan. and thence telegraphed via Siberia to London and Paris and the whole of Europe. Messages from Chi na; sent through the Russian Post-office from Pekin to Kiachta, can be telegraphed from the latter place to all parts of Europe. If the commercial interests of Europe should re quire it, a direct telegraph, either submarine or aerial, could be constructed to Japan and China, in connection with the Siberian line. A land line would have to be erected in the direction of Kiachta. There are several routes from Kiachta to China through the desert of Gobi, but the one which is at present used by the Russian post traffic would have to be chosen for the construction of a land line, forming- a length of 1,775 wersts (1,015 miles), though one-half of this—viz., from I ,lrga:44.Aal.' gan, a distance of about-1,285 iferata (735-nr,„ is a woodless, stony, and sandy tract of land, and only inhabited by nomadic Mongols, who relieve each other at the post stations ; yet there would be no difficulty in constructing a telegraph line, as at certain places where there are pasture grounds and water in abundance stations could be created for the men guarding the line. It would also be advisable to substitute iron for wooden poles in case one or more of the poles . should in time become useless, as wood in this part of the country is very difficult to procure. However expensive such a land line would be, it deserves mature consideration whether the vastness of the commercial interests of Europe would not warrant such an outlay, as the want of wood for building purposes, the expense of supplying it, the erection of stations in the desert, and the supply of other necessities, would increase the expense by 500 rubles (about £80) per worst, which would amount for the whole length of the 1,775 wersts of land line to 900,000 rubles (3,250,000 f., or £130,000). But as regards a submarine telegraph to China, the first connecting point with the Siberian line would have to be at Shanghae, the most important post for the China-European commerce, from which place alone messages could be transmitted to Europe to• an extent that the expense of such a cable would in a short time be covered by the traffic. From Shanghai a branch aerial line to Pekin could be constructed, but the erection of such a line in the present disturbed state of China would scarcely be possible ; and as regards the length of a submarine line thence to the shores of the Bay of Petshelig, it would, according to the indication of the map (to which we can only refer) be about 1,100 wersts (630 miles), the expense of which would be about 1,375,000r5. If on investigation it should be found that a sub marine line in this direction offers no difficulty, the expense of the whole telegraph line from Kiachta, in Siberia, to Shangha, and thence to Pekin, would amount to 2,300,000r5. (8,300,000 f., or £330,000). If on the other hand any political obstacle should prevent the carrying- out of this line, it could be connected with the Russian ports at Shanghae. From the future telegraph termini of the Siberian line at the ports of the S. Olga or Novgorodsky to wards Sbanghae there are several small islands, which could be used as resting points for the cable and as stations; they lie, besides, near Japan, so that a branch telegraph line would connect Japan with the main one. The length of this cable line between the Russian shores and the Sea of Japan would be as follows : From the Poi tof Novgorodsky, Gulf d'Anville, to— The Island of Dagelct a ... ), Toussima „ • Quelpart /9 Shanghae 3OO ~ FIOM the Island of Toussima to Nagasaki, in Japan Total 1,200 nautical miles ; 2,100 wersts, which would cost about 2,500,000 roubles (9,000,000 fr., £360,000. The length of the whole line between Shanghai and London would therefore be : The length via Kiaehta, in Siberia, to Pekin, 2,000 wersts, or 6,860 miles. The length via the Sea of Japan and the Islands of Toussima or Quelpart, about 14,650 wersts, or 8,370 miles. But as the telegraph line to the East Indies through the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, as projected by the English, forms a length of about 19,000 wersts, or 10,860 sea miles—viz,, 4,000 miles more than that via Kiachta, the latter being the same length as the line between the Amoor and the Island Reine Charlotte, the same amount of capital as that expended on the East Indian line would suffice for the universal telegraph connecting the East Indies with Shanghai, and thus establishing a telegraphic communication between Europe, America, China, and Japan. From the above we may come to the conclusion what material advantage could be gained by com munication through Russia with the East. ~~J .f- TILE EAST INDIAN TELEGRAPH'. As the English can make no use of the Red Sea cable, they propose now to construct aerial lines through the wild and barbarous countries of Asia Minor and Persia, and thence to Beloochistan and Affghanistan. Although the carrying out of such a project may be successful, yet the maintaining of such a line in a state of repair would be equally expensive as difficult. But if a general telegraphic communication with the East Indies should crown such an undertaking with success, a glance at the map of Russia would convince one that the Russian telegraph line along the Caspian Sea, Orenburg, and Omsk, can very easily be extended to Teheran, the shores of Syr- Darja, and the Sea of Issik-Kul, and that, in case of any political misunderstanding, the short line between the Russian and Indian frontier stations could easily be destroyed. Russia having no commercial relations with the East Indies would gain no other advantage but the transit of messages from such a telegraphic com munication. We cannot too strongly recommend this route to tho East Indies, which iu every respect is a safer and better one than that through the wild steppes of Asia Minor and Persia. I shall on some future occasion point out more minutely the telegraphic route between Russia and the East Indies. (Signed) D. ROMANOFF, Lieut.-Colonel, Chef des Telegraphcs, Siberie Orientals. According to a circular of Messrs. Arles Dufour and C., of Lyons, the silk market, after a protracted dullness, exhibits a slight improvement. Manufacturers, since the beginning of the month, have succeeded in diminishing their stock of goods, and have also received some orders fit general European consumption.
