ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRWEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. 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 ns, 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 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.

(From the Gazette of lazt nig7a.) NOTICE. INDIA-OFFICE, AUG. 12. In the general Order of the Governor-General of India,* dated the 10th of April last, republished in the London Gazette of the 28th of May, 1861, it was stated that the posi tion and claims of the Field-officers of the Indian armies now unemployed, or for whom it may be difficult to find suitable employment under the new system, were under consideration. It has now been determined by the Secretary of State for India in Council that annuities, at the following rates, shall be offered on retirement to the Lieutenant -Colonels and Majors as they stand regimentally in the cavalry and in fantry of the three Presidencies, in addition to the pensions to which they may be entitled under the regulations of the service, viz, : CAVALRY.—LiEurENANT-COLONELS.

The Regimental Lieutenant-Colonels of Infantry will be divided into groups, as shown in the following table ; an annuity of the same amount being allotted to every officer of each group : INFANTRY.—LIEUTENANT-COLONELS. Number of Group. Number In each Group for Bengal. Number in each Group for Madras. Number in each Group for Bombay. Amount per Annum. The groups have been formed with reference to the esta blished number of Lieut.-Colonels of Infantry in the several Presidencies, as they stand for succession to Colonel's allowance. Any number of Lieut.-Colonels in excess of that esta blishment in consequence of the promotion of Lieut.- Colonels to be Major-Generals, will receive the pension of the last group. __ the list until his death, or until a casualty shall occur among the regimental Colonels, in either of which cases his name will be removed, no promotion being made in his room. On another casualty occurring among the regimental Colonels, should the name then at the head of the list of Lieutenant- Colonels be that of an officer who has not accepted the an nuity, he will succeed, as usual, to the Colonel's allowance, and promotions will be made in succession. The promotion in succession to the Lieut.-Colonels who retire under this scheme will be made in the proportion of one to every two of such retirements ; on the other hand, every vacancy created among the Majors will be followed by promotion in the usual course. Should the number of Regimental Field-officers retiring on these terms fall short of 300 in the three Presidencies, the Government of India will be authorized to offer an nuities of £l2O per annum, in addition to the pensions to which they may be entitled, to so many of the Regimental Captains of the three Presidencies as may suffice to make up that number, the offer to them to be madelin succession according to length of service, reckoning from the date of the first commission, and to be confined to those of or above 25 years' service. The Regimental Lieutenant-Colonels and Majors of the Cavalry and Infantry who have elected for service with the new Line Regiments or in the Staff Corps will have the option of retiring upon the terms now offered. It is to be distinctly understood that this is a final alTange ment, and that no further proposals connected with schemes for the retirement of officers of the Indian Service will be entertained. Officers of the Indian Armies on furlough in this coun try desirous of retiring from the service on the terms now offered should address their applications to the Secretary to Government, in the Military Department, of the Presi dency to which they belong. NOTICE. INDIA-OFFICE, AUGUST 12. In consequence of some misapprehensions being under stood to exist as to the interpretation of tlie 98tliparagraph of the'General Order' of the Governor-General of India, dated 10th April last, quoted in the margin,t it is notified, for general information, that, upon a reconsideration of the order, and of the instructions upon which it was based, her Majesty's Secretary of State for India in Council has pointed out to the Government of India that all officers whom that Government may not consider fit for employment are to be dealt with under clause 7 of the Staff Corps Warrant, but that another rule must be laid down and followed in the case of officers who are perfectly fit for employment, but who, from circumstances of one kind or another, may be out of employment; for example, those who, in consequence of having overstayed the prescribed limit of absence, with re tention of appointment, may find themselves on their return to India out of employment. Such officers, on their return to India, will be placed on the rate of pay specified for their respective ranks in the Staff Warrant, for officers while required to remain in India —and they will retain this rate of pay for a year, before the expiration of which period it is expected an opportunity will have arisen for placing them in some suitable appointment. Should no opportunity occur within the year of placing a perfectly qualified officer, returning from furlough, in a situation suited to him, the Governments in India will be authorised to continue the Indian rate of pay until a suit able opening can be found for his employment. Officers will not be placed on half-pay except under the operation of one or other of the two clauses 7 and 10 of the Staff Corps Warrant. The Government of India have been directed to modify the 98th paragraph of the General Order accordingly. Officers of the Staff Corps under the rank of Major-Gene ral whom the Governments of India may not see fit to employ in any capacity, will not be allowed to draw pay for more than four years, of which one year may be on the Indian scale, and three years on the scale fixed for officers " out of India," after which period they will be plated on half-pay, or on pension, according to the scale of their rank, if entitled thereto. veritable exponent of the conscience of the nation ; and that his enterprise was based on solid founda tions, as his death itself has proved. The country, the Parliament, and the Goverament, in receiving as a great calamity the news of the death of this illustrious statesman, felt at the same time the ne cessity of uniting themselves more closely, in order not to allow their forces to be scattered, and Italy deprived, though only just created, of one of her firmest defenders, displayed all her vigorous vitality by supporting the dolorous trial without any dis couragement. And if you will be kind enough to remark that the greatest part of the legislative measures of the Parliament has been accomplished since the death of that eminent statesman—if you will beside con sider the object of the principal bills voted, and the immense majority of the suffrages which approved of them, you will easily understand that we can affirm that his intentions have been efficaciously carried out by the accord of the Parliament and the Government. At certain moments, since the commencement of Parliamentary labours, incidents, it is true, may have arisen which seemed not in accord with a calm and moderate discussion of the different bills pro pesed by the King's Government, of the wants and wishes of the country, and of the principles of in ternational policy. But in such a great and rapid change of things and destinies, and in the con course of such different elements in the accomplish ment of the deliverance of the country; in the midst of the fears awakened by foreign intrigues which fomented and still foment the most brutal and violent passions in certain provinces; with the fact before our eyes of foreign ciecupation, which still weighs as a threat on one of the most tormented and glorious provinces of the peninsula, we must not be surprised that some minds more ardent and less initiated into the rules of political life have sometimes allowed themselves to be carried away by counsels which were neither prudent nor expedient. Nevertheless, these incidents, the natural but transitory effect of a transitory state of things, have never been sufficiently powerful to shake the confi dence of the citizens in their government, either within the Chamber or elsewhere, and they never have ended in dangerous resolutions. The proof of these reflections we have touched upon becomes evident from the series of parliamentary acts and the 83 laws voted during the first period of the legislative session—laws the principal of which it may not be useless to mention here. The deputies of the nation have considered it their first duty and first thought solemnly to confirm the plebiscite of the people by awarding the crown of Italy to the august prince whose loyalty and mili tary courage had so powerfully contributed to secure universal sympathy to the destinies of our country, and to produce the happy events which have made Italy what she now is. In unanimously voting the law by which Victor Emmanuel assumes the title of King of Italy, the parliament has given a guaran tee to monarchical Europe, and enabled the govern ment to assume among civilised nations the place which is due to Italy, by notifying to foreign cabi nets the formation of the new kingdom, and succes sively obtaining from them the recognition of that kingdom. The laws relative to the arming of the nation have been equally fruitful in political results. Beside the measures relating to the levies of land and sea forces, the parliament has, in the law which extends the institution of the active National Guard, sanctioned one of the most efficacious arguments for the defence of the country and the preservation of order at home. The Italians have not forgotten the solemn words which our august and generous ally ad dressed to them on touching the soil of liberated Lombardy : "Be all soldiers to-day, that yon may to-morrow be the free citizens of a great nation." For military service forms citizens to temperance and discipline, gives them the conscious ness of their own dignity and strength, and ren ders them familiar with all those manly and austere virtues which are necessary to the exercise and preservation of liberty. Moreover, if good armies are indispensable for the defence of the precious acquisitions of the nation, by the confidence with which a well-armed people inspires its friends, and the respect which it imposes upon enemies, they are also a powerful means of obtaining pacific triumphs; or else, when, notwithstanding our en deavours, peace is disturbed, these armies serve to render a perturbation, which we would not have provoked, less durable and less fatal to the general interests of Europe. The laws relating to the unification of thc• public debt belong as much to the political as to the eco nomical order of things. To unify the various sys tems of debts which we have inherited from the small states into which, unfortunately, the penin sula has, until now, been divided ; to attract the interests of the creditors of the state towards the centre of national life, and provide for the future of the nation while respecting individual rights, have been the object which Parliament had in view in adopting the financial measures proposed by the King's Government. The spectacle of the ardour of Italian and foreign capitalists in offering the means of realising the loans voted by the Cham bers sufficiently proves that this object has been attained. You know, sir, that though only 764,000,000 lire were demanded by the Government, more than 1,000,000,000 lire were offered, and the result of the public subscription is not yet known. That is a fact to which I, with pleasure, tali the atten tion of the King's ministers abroad. It proves that the kingdom of Italy has been able to create itself credit for the future, by respecting, with the most rigorous justice, the obligations contracted in the past. It is the most splendid proof that could be given that the events which have just taken place in Italy are more than a revolution—that they are the restoration of regular and normal order. The Parliament has also provided for the develop ment of the economic resources of the country by giving its sanction to the bills presented by the Ministry of Public Works relative to the prompt execution of a vast network of railways. To promote among all classes of society, by the stimulant of labour, wealth, and public morality ; to excite the augmentation of national capital by the powerful co-operation of foreign capital ; to remove the ob stacles which distance and the configuration of the Peninsula oppose to the rapid fraternisation of all the inhabitants—such are the results which the Government hopes to be able to obtain in a short time by the energetic impulsion given to public works. In order clearly to understand the importance of this subject, it will be sufficient to say that in addi tion to the works of the arsenal of La Spezzia, 2,700 kilometres of railway (the kilometre is five eighths of a mile) have been concluded; that they are to be completed in from a year and a half to eight years; and that the execution of them will cost about 750,000,000 lire, of which about 290,000,000 lire are to be supplied by the Govern ment, in addition to the guarantee accorded by the contract. This summary exposition will suffice to make known that the Parliament, in the first part of the present session, has not only provided for the most urgent wants, but also for the most important and most fruitful interests of the country. And now, if we cast a glance on the path in which we have hitherto walked, and if we measure it with the grandeur of events, it seems to me that we have the right to feel great satisfaction. But if we cast our eyes on the road we have still to go, we see that it is rough, difficult, full of snares and perils. We are not, however, alarmed at it, and we venture to repeat with just pride that Italy has been made one. Yes, Italy is created, although part of Italy is still under the power of the foreigner ; for we are certain that Europe, see* us well organised, well PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. armed, and s trong, will be convinced of our right to possess all riogether our territory, and will find a guarantee o f repose and peace by favouring the restoration c if the part which is wanting to us ; for we are convinced that Europe, in learn ing to know us better, will become persuaded that we, a people essentially catholic, understand better than any of ;her the true interests of the Church when we as k her to divest herself of the feudal rights which a barbarous age gave her, and which are incompatible with civilisation, offering her in exchange ini lependence and full and entire liberty in the exerci Be of her holy ministry, and the grati tude and rest )ect of a regenerated nation. We well know that ol A Europe still looks upon us with a distrustful ey 4), and that she reproaches us with the disturbances which sadden the southern provinces, and the uno eainty of our internal organisation. But Europe I mows the old origin of those disturb ances ; she ha a, in the Congress of Paris, stigmatised the depraved system which corrupted and debased that'people. We are now sure that in the sun of liberty their generous instinct will assume new vigour, and I hat Italy will derive her most reliable support pree isely from those facts which now con stitute our ; rreatest internal dangers. We will neither atten Ipt to conceal or affect to diminish their importance; but we beg that the old causes which produced the m, and the present instigations which perpetuate them by misusing a generous protection granted for the noblest purposes, may be taken into consideration. ; we wish it to be remarked that no nation has ever seen four different systems of go vernment fall, and constituted its unity with fewer commotions in so short a time. 4 , l4rdithificactunpl es of civil wisdom and virtue given by the Parliament are a pledge of the political ma turity of the 'nation, of which it is the legitimate and faithful representative, and must inspire a just and entire confidemce in the regular process of national institutions. What now remains to be done is, that the parts now united in a whole may form a well organised and well-constituted body, in which life, proceeding from a powerful and unique impulsion, spreads through all the members in an equal man ner, so as to give them movement and vigour. The Government is preparing for this important work so as to be in a position, in the next session, to call for the counsel and the authority of the Parlia ment therein. Meanwhile credit has supplied ample aliment for the necessary vitality ; but we must now take advantage of it to revive the sources of national wealth, and establish by an equitable system of taxation the indispensable ba lance of the income and expenditure of the State. Italy must be completed, and no sacrifice for that end will appear too great for Italians. The spectacle of our nation, of the marvellous moderation of that people, which has just risen to an independent life of its own, must persuade every impartial mind that Italy, left to herself, freed from all the external dangers which still threaten her, put in possession of all the conditions necessary for her existence, will be, as our august King expressed his conviction in opening the first Italian Parliament, a guarantee of order and peace for Europe, a powerful agent of universal civilisa tion. I authorise you, sir, to make of this despatch whatever use you may think moat likely to benefit our country. _ RICASOLI, President of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs. V.

The Circular addressed by Baron Ricasoli to the representatives of Italy at the various Courts of Eu rope, which was referred to in a recent telegram, is as follows : TURIN, July 31. Sir,—The Parliament has just terminated the first part of its laborious session, by adjourning till the approaching autumn. In its bosom have sat for the first time the representatives of nearly all the populations of Italy. Thanks to its decisions the unity of Italy has passed from the domain of ideas to that of facts, and has begun to develop itself in the political, econo mic, and administrative order. It is consequently my duty to call the attention of the representatives of the Government in foreign countries to the la bours of the two Chambers, and to furnish them with the means of making known to Europe the legislative debates of the new kingdom. In the first place, you will please to remark the spirit in which the elections were made. In the provinces, which lately formed independent States, and had scarcely entered on a situation altogether new, still wanting the experience of the liberties which they were called to enjoy, those elections were accomplished with the utmost regularity and perfect order. This will appear still more significa tive if we reflect that the provinces most recently united, as the Marches and Umbria, were threatened by the Pontifical troops, and were in fact attacked by them on several points precisely at the moment of the elections. If we consider further, the Neapo litan and Sicilian provinces not only were exposed to the same menaces, but also felt the effects of a powerful political agitation, while their territories were not delivered from the remnants of the fallen dominations, since the fallen King still continued to resist in Gaeta, at the head of a considerable corps of troops, and the taking of Messina had not been attempted. In spite of this situation, the new provinces which now form the greater part of the kingdom, though they lived uncertain of the future, elected their de puties freely and regularly, and not one was found among them representing the opinions or interests of the fallen governments ; and you have seen by the parliamentary discussions and votes that the whole tenor of the Opposition was to excite the Government to precipitate the course of events, with a view to complete the independence and unity of Italy, in stead of returning to the past ; an example, perhaps, unique in history, and which demonstrates how uni versal and profound in the hearts of all Italians is the sentiment of nationality ; since in all other countries where revolution has carried to the throne a new dynasty in room of the one which has been hurled from it, the trace of the latter has never been effaced in the national representation, and in all Parliaments, with the exception of that of Italy, the partisans of the fallen princes have found a place under the name of Legitimists. You will not fail to remark that our new deputies, convoked for the first time from different parts of Italy, who, in consequence of their political and economical organisation, had hitherto remained strangers one to the other, have immediately found themselves in accord on fundamental ideas, and only a very slight degree of opposition has mani fested itself when measures were brought forward tending to strengthen the right of the nation, or to support that right. It is, moreover, well t o remar k that the Opposition, small in number as it was, did not endeavour to impede these measures, but on the contrary sought to carry them beyond the bounds which political prudence would not allow to be exceeded without rendering them ineffectual or dangerous. The novelty of the state of things in which the provinces of Italy found themselves placed, the va riety of the situations in the midst of which they had hitherto existed, gave rise to repeated interpel lations which, if they appeared superstitious to some persons, had nevertheless this utility, that they enabled the deputies to know each other better, and to facilitate the fusion of the different countries into one. , Which concerne d th ® These interpellations, besides policy of the Government, afford e d t h e Parliament the opportunity of declaring in the most solemn manner the right of the nation, and the King's Go vernment that of manifesting its intentions as to the means of completing the enterprise already con ducted so near its end. You, sir, already know these intentions. You know that the changes in persons which have taken place in the cabinet, in consequence of the painful and deplored loss of Count Cavour, have not caused any modification in the policy inaugurated and car ried out by him with so much honour to himself and so much advantage to Italy; that he was the / / e-e--606 _.,& flu; NORTH 'TALE A letter from Turin, dated August 9, says:— Six-and-twenty degrees above zero in the Centi grade thermometer—how much does that come to in the Fahrenheit scale P That lam not able to tell you, but I can give you my word that it makes a very respectable summer-heat—so glorious a heat, indeed, that it seems to absorb all human faculties, and allow a man no leisure or inclination to write, talk, or think about anything but it. The climate of Piedmont, and to a great extent of all the Subalpine region to the north of the Po, enjoys a more than Swiss climate for nine months, and a more than Italian climate for the remaining three. From late September or early October to the close of June, and even part of July, it is all Alpine mist and heavy cloud, drenching, incessant rain, close, nipping frost, and lingering snow—a succession of bad weather which might remind one of England were it not for its more steady in clemency. The weather is less inconstant, the atmosphere calmer, the sky, when swept by winds or heavy showers, far brighter—indeed, un utterably deep and pure; the transition seaeons are, in spite of the fickleness of the elements and fre quent terrific thunderstorms, more enjoyable ; but the three winter and the three summer months make England a paradise if contrasted with this Little Siberia and Little Liberia of the Po valley. We have here Neapolitans and Sicilians by the score, men in love with Turin and Piedmont, but who are panting and dropping from heat as if the country they came from were Finland or Spitz bergen, and they had just issued forth from their three months' winter night, passing from the moon light at the Pole to the vertical sun at the Equator. From Turin to Naples, or Malta, or Tunis, or, for that matter, from Genoa, the 'distance is not great, but the moment you step a score ,or so of miles inland, the moment you place the Appenine wall between you and the ever -fanning sea-breezes, you are at the mercy of a sun that is still fiercely and intensely Italian, and forsaken by that Providence which girt all Italy with the refreshing breath of the Mediterranean wave. The summer is short here, as I already hinted, because gigantic vapours cling to the crest of the Alps, and rise higher and higher, all through May, June, and July, the hotter the sun darts its rays at them, and the streams from the mountain glaciers flow more copious and beautiful, the fiercer the air from this reeking Lombard furnace wafts up to them ; and all the plain and the hillside is flooded, and the country blooms, and the meadows thrive, under the glare that would blight and parch them; and the night is chill, the morning cool, and the evening damp ; and the sunbeams have to struggle for hours before they break through the gauze-like curtain of mist, before they rob the grass and foliage of their glitter ing dew diamonds. The North gives long and stout battle to the summer god in this Subalpine region, and never falls away from the field without a series of final skirmishes in the shape of sharp deluging thunderstorms; but at last the dog-days (sol-Bone, as it is called here) set in ; the sun carries the victory, the faint white haze which lingered in the air clears off, the sky assumesits deep transparent Italian hues, the mountains are stripped of the rolling , sw elling, and shifting phan tasmagory of their heavy clouds, their peaks rear th emse lves up in the sky with distinct outlines, as if carved out of the firmament; the .lower ridges stand forth in bold relief, one above another, like so many stage decorations •, you can count every cliff and bluff; the distance of fifty or sixty miles hardly dims an object before your eyes, through the medium of this thoroughly dried, painfully rarefied atmosphere. For eight or ten or twelve weeks the sky is as limpid and radiant a s anywhere in Italy, more so than anywhere else in the world. But if summer brings its fiery beauty to the north of Italy, it leaves behind the sweet land and sea breezes which temper its ardour in the south. We are here boxed in between the Alps and the Apennines; those sweet verdant hills of Superga hem us in up to the very walls of the first houses of Turin. Down from the North there is never a breath ; from the South at times a hot furnace blast of scirocco ; but for long, long hours, morning, noon, and night, we have dead, stagnant air, stifling us in our very beds. Turin is an open town, less a town than any town in the world, with wide open streets, all straight, at right angles, all open to the country, all green at tUe end, all ready to welcome any whiff of air that Providence may send; but stone is sent; reQPe drag themselves along at a snail's pa ce , under the porticoes, the coolest spot, and will go miles out of the way to -avoid a sunny crossing of twenty yards' length. Step from shade to sunlight, and the fiery glare swallows you up, wraps you in; you feel as if you had plunged into a caldron, and your eyes are blinded, every pore in your skin tingles, all your poor brain is in a blaze. Linger on the Place d'Armes till 8 or 9 o'clock in the even ing ; over all that vast level place, from all that lofty mountain circle, there is not as much wind as a bird would raise by flapping its 'wings. Go back to-morrow to the same spot, at five, at four, any time before sunrise, and earth and sky are still equally unmoved, equally immovable. The granite bench you sit upon preserves still the latent glow from yesterday's sun, the huge blocks of house& in your rear still radiate yesterday's heat. And to day's heat will add to yesterday's and the day's be fore ; layer upon layer, the heavy air will si ( TiF, upon us, till, as the Italians say, the heat will burst (crepa it caldo), and the seasons, which seem to be at a standstill, will go their round again. Meanwhile how do people live under these trying atmospheric circumstances ? Why, to bear the heat is business enough for most men. They drag them selves, I said, at their own snail's pace, under the porticoes ; 101 l upon stools before the cafe shop door, they call for mote ice and iced water, and talk of the blessings of out-of-town existence. Out of town all is not paradise, either ; there are musty, fusty railway carriages, slow diligences, roads with the dust fathoms deep, an aggravation of misery in all endless varieties. The luckiest mortals run up to the hills and lakes, to the hydropathic establish ments at Pesio, Grope, the baths of Valdieri, the rugged homes of Viu, the sea watering places at Sestri or Spezia. But the very sea, that tideless inland sea, has no coolness, and the valleys are hotter than the plain. Summer will reach up to the very Alpine summit, though it be but for a short spell, and then our fugitives must go further back from the Italian to the Swiss Alps, often from an oven to a furnace, from the frying-pan into the fire. I crossed Mont Cenis a few days ago, and we had no relief by night. I drove from Como, over Varese, to Laveno, across the leafy, humid, luxu riant region; from lake to lake. I was up at day break, sat out till late at night, but the air never cooled. It is God's pleasure that the Italians should swelter in heat for a time, and I have no doubt it is intended for their good. • So far as my experience goes ; I think excessive heat greatly beneficial to the human frame. It must be fought, I believe, by the same weapons by which cold is overcome—by strong, manly exertion. If I give in to it, like most of my neighbours, I am soon languid, listless, and so utterly prostrate as hardly to have strength to lift the cooling ice to my lips ; but if I drink no ice, eschew water, take my meals regularly without consulting appetite, then move about at my usual brisk pace, take the sunny or the shady side of the street indifferently —if I determine not only not to mind but to despise the heat and defy it, a new life seems to rise within me. Nor am Iby any means an excep tion, or only in so far that my battling with the summer is matter of choice with me ; but I see men splitting stones along the sunny highway, I see carters walking stoutly beside their teams, I see troops, both foot and horse, marching across the Piazza d'Armi at their wonted pace. They seem, all of them, as strong and merry as in De cember, only a little more flushed; and one may wager they are all healthier for being somewhat leaner and lighter. The Bersaglieri were at drill yesterday in their usual ground fully an hour before sunset. The whole plain between the trees that bound the Piazza d'Armi and the Alps was one great fiery cload of dust raised by their thun dering feet. There is not one blade o' grass on the Piazza d'Armi but is burnt up to tinder; but the fields beyond are under water at their owner's pleasure, and the dust seems only to enrich their soil and intensify their green. Between this and the Alps the drought can do little or no mischief'. Would it were so on the other side of the Po, along the Apennines, everywhere else in Italy ! There the Indian corn is withering; the grapes are stunted in their growth, the earth is cracking, and the fountains are drying up. The Riviera of Genoa is all white and hoary with dust, as other lands are with snow in the winter time. • The priests put up endless prayers for rain ; they are sure to get it—if they wait. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE TVEEK. (From the Regzstrar-General's Weekly Return.) It is satisfactory to find that in last week (end ing Saturday, the 10th inst.) there was a decrease in the mortality of London, as compared with that of two previous weeks. In the third week o f July the deaths were 1,171; in the two following they rose to 1,207 and 1,225 respectively mean ofthe ely; last week each they again declined to 1,172. T tempera ture of the air has been above 60 de in last nine weeks, with the exceptFo.n of the first week in July, when it was 59.7 deg. Last week it was as high as 64 . 4 deg. The average number of deaths, as derived from 1 the returns of corresponding weeks in the 10 years 1851-60, is raised to a certain extent by the cholera that prevailed in this month in 1854. If the deaths from the epidemic of that year are excluded, and the average corrected for increase of popula tion, it will be seen that the number returned for last week is less by about 60 than that obtained by calculation. Diarrhoea was fatal last week in 177 cases, of which 161 occurred to children, ch 3f i 7 efl ,y, y edai i r n s :a d n i t e s. d Cholera or choleraic d iarrhoea was als o fatal in 13 ca ses, 6 of which occurred to children less "diarrhoea (two years of age.

The general labourer, aged 5 years, died at 18, John's-place, n s-place, Grange-road, Bermondsey, of "scarla tina maligna (13 days) ;" and it is reported by the medical attendant that four children were suffering from the complaint in a room about 10 feet square, which is used for all purposes. Two widows are returned as having died at the ages of 96 and 98 years respectively. The husband of the elder of the two women, who was a coal whipper at Bluegate-fields, St. George-in-the-East, died 12 days before his wife, at the age of 91. Last week the birth of 881 boys and 878 girls, in all 1,759 chilren, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1851-60 the average number was 1,577. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.809 in. The readings rose to 2995 in. on Tuesday and Saturday, and fell to 29.53 in. on Thursday, T determined by Mr. ' "e . mean temperature of the air in the week deg., which is 2.5 deg. above the average of 64-4 same week in 43 years (asf the Glaisher).

CONSUMPTION OF SPIRITS.—A Parliamentary re t ur n just issued shows that the quantity of spirits charged with duty for home consumption fell from 28,661,674 gamma is 1859 to 26,863,361 in 1860. In that year the duty on home-made spirits was raised to 10s., an d the de crease in the quantity was in these, and almost wholly in Ireland and Scotland. The quantity of British sPirifs charged with duty for home consumption was 23,729,026 gallons in 1859, and 21,338,448 in 1860. In the first three months of the present year the quantity of home-made *hits used for home consumption was only 4,670,797 galloue,
