ON TRUE ajgAFALSE SPERMATORRHCEA; with the ViM - 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 Hypoolurondriasis. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. f'ickford 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 squally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to oorrect."- - Londen 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 Spc . rmatorrhcea 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.

Commander Robert H. Bur ton, from the West Coast of Africa, arrived at Woolwich yesterday to be dismantled and paid off. She sailed from Woolwich in November,lBs7, and captured six valuable prizes during the time she served on the coast. She detained the bark Orion, under American colours, and delivered her up to the United States' ship Marian. The Orion was condemned at the Admiralty Court of New York by Judge Wylde, and repurchased by her former owners. She was subsequently recaptured by the Pluto, with a full cargo of slaves on board. The Triton also boarded and gave information to the American Commodore of the slaveship Emily, which ship was also condemned and sold at New • York. The Admiralty orders at present in force for cruisers on the West Coast of Africa forbid the boarding of any vessels under the American flag. Messrs. Napier have been informed that every accommodation will be afforded them in Victoria Harbour, Greenock, for putting the machinery on board the steam ram Black Prince, which they have been constructing for some time past. The paddlewheel steam tender Advice, M. Ray mond, second master, commanding, having coaled and received supernumeraries, left Plymouth yes terday for Queenstown. The paddle-wheel steam sloop Geyser, 6, Com mander Jackson, having had defects made good at Devonport, went yesterday afternoon from Hamoaze into Plymouth Sound. The screw steam frigate Narcissus, 51, at Devon port, has received her spare spars. dent, has been assembled at Whitehall for the pur pose of inquiring into the organisation and working of the newly-raised Army Hospital Corps, in order that some alterations and improvements may be effected in that branch of the service, the condition and working of which appear to be by no means satisfactory to the military authorities. Already a great deal of important evidence has been taken by the commissioners, which will materially guide them in framing their report to the Duke of Cambridge. From what has been elicited from the various wit nesses who have been examined it has been ascer- tained that the Army Hospital Corps numbers about 1,000 non-commissioned officers and men scattered throughout the globe, from 150 to 200 being attached to the headquarters, Chatham. The corps is re cruited entirely from volunteers from other regi ments, a recent circular having been issued, calling on commanding officers of regiments to recommend efficient men for that corps. It has, however, been found that at the present moment the Army Hos pital Corps contains some of the very worst cha racters to be found in her Majesty's service, a class of men that commanding officers are only too happy to get rid of from their corps e instead of recom mending their most steady men. It has also been found that the corps at headquarters is not suffi ciently officered, and, consequently, there is a laxity of discipline at Fort Pitt Hospital, the men serving at which establishment are nominally under the command of Dr. - Hume, the principal medical officer, but the arduous and multifarious duties performed by that officer prevent his taking the requisite supervision over them. The office of captain of the orderlies has been created, but has not as yet been filled up, although it is strongly recommended that such an officer should be immediately appointed. Various other changes will, it is anticipated, be strongly recommended to be carried into effect, in order to effect improvement in the corps. During the last few days a series of experi ments have been made in the presence of the select committee of Woolwich Arsenal with the 100- pounder Armstrong gun at Shoeburyness. The experiments were exceedingly satisfactory, and fully established the fact of the new 100-pounder ordnance being equal to the smaller sizes. A ship's side, partially covered with massive iron plates, some of which had been stripped off for the purpose of testing the fuzes at the commencement of the experiments, was set up at 1,000 yards' distance, to form the butt. The shells, filled with powder, were at patches of white paper stuck upon the surface. The, spots were 12 inches in diameter, and in every case the shell went through the mark, while the instantaneous ignition of the powder made a hole in the timber in the form of a huge doorway. The target was placed on that part of the ship's side which had been stripped of ,the iron plates, some of which were still retained. One of these was struck by accident and cut completely through. The firing was repeated at various intervals with the most successful result until at leng th the ship's side became so riddled that the sheltlesuweheirnesfirtch•ide nd a con.sid era bl e through the chasms without even ragged and splintered borders,rou and explod e d nn coming in contact with the g experiments terminat e d b y firing shellsfilled, distance beyond.

By the late improvements in the breech there was no escape of gas from the explosion, to test the fact of which the committee several times filled the cavity with snow, and, after the gun vas fired, the snow had not the slightest discolouration. It was accordingly acknowledged unanimously that by the new arrangement it is barely possible for the plug to be blown out in the event of any carelessness On the part of the gunner in screwing it home. Cal. St. George, It.A., C. 8., president of the select committee ; Capt. Sir W. Wiseman, R,N., vice- president ; and the members who were present, as well as Sir W. Armstrong, expressed their admiration of the result. The gun was made in the factory at Woolwich Arsenal, un der the superintendence of Mr. Anderson, and is considered, according to the statement of the com mittee, to be the finest specimen of a wrought iron gun which has vet been submitted. Fears were entertained by Sir W. Armstrong, and were coin cided in by the committee generally, that the severe frost might affect some of the parts, but no symp toms of any casualty were manifested to mar the success of the experiments, which extended over two entire days. As these guns are now in course of rapid manufacture, the country may feel assured that the naval armament will be supplied forth with to meet the demands of any emergency, how ever sudden.

CEANGE OF IVE.F'TII R. Last night skating on the Serpentine was again curried on with great spirit. There was a display c,f fireworks and various novel amusements. The ice was stated to be nearly 13 inches thick. There is to be a fair on the Serpentine on Monday night, unless the thaw which commenced yesterday should happily put a stop to the late severity of the season. All the parks were crowded yesterday, but no ac cident of consequence is reported. The weather at Worcester, which has been most intense, appeared yesterday to be changing, a partial thaw having set in. The Severn is still frozen up above Worcester and all navigation stopped, and a most remarkable spectacle has been presented nightly during the week on the Worcester race course. As stated in The Sun of Tuesday, this laige meadow, which lies on the banks of the Severn, was flooded with water at the end of last week, which froze to a considerable thickness, and the water receding from beneath it left the ice upon the grass, a safe arena for the skaters and sliders. These have mustered in great numbers, and thou sands of persons of both sexes have been disporting themselves upon its surface by torchlight. Tar barrels have been burnt on the ice, and every , variety of game indulged in. At the time of writ ing (yesterday) the ice is covered with some thou sands of people. Here, as elsewhere, a great many persons have been thrown out of employ by the severity of the weather, builders, carpenters, gar deners, watermen, and other trades having their oceupations suspended, and much distress is the result. To alleviate this funds are being raised, and coal and soup provided for the poor. On Thursday night a gentle thaw set in at Liver pool, which continued throughout the night and during the whole of yesterday. All yesterday the streets were in a filthy and uncomfortable condition from the melting of the snow. In the morning large.placards were posted all over the town for men to clear away the ice and snow, for which service 2s. per day were offered under authority of the corporation. The ice on the canals has been 15 inches thick for several days past. At Leeds and the neighbourhood yesterday (Friday) a - welcome change took place in the weather. The frost, which for about three weeks had been very severe, gave way to a gentle thaw, which commenced early in the mousing, and con tinued throughout the day. The 'wind was from the south-west up to three o'clock in the afternoon, but about that time it veered almost northerly, the temperature grew colder, and no certain prediction could be ventured upon as to whether frost would not again prevail in the evening. A southerly wind yesterday brought fresh weather at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and there was every appearance that if the thaw continued the ice in the Tyne would speedily break up. The river engineer was clearing away the ice from the front of t'ie quay and the vessels that have been icebound so long were likely to get away to-day. Scarcely any change has taken place in the state of the weather 'in the eastern counties since the notice in The Sun of Thursday, w ith the excep tion of dense fogs in the evening succeeding to very heavy atmosphere during the day. The ther mometer has in no instance since Thursday that we have heard of risen above freezing-point, nor has it at the period of greatest severity indicated more than 20 degrees of frost. All the rivers are completely blocked, and trade at the ports of Mal don, Colchester, Ipswich, Woodbridge, and other places, is almost suspended, the owners of vessels preferring VI lie at anchor rather than run any risks even where a passage has been forced through the ice. The consequence hes been a very con siderable advance in the price of sea-borne coals, thereby adding another evil to the already multi plied sufferings of the poor. It is now found that large bodies of agricultural labourers must seek relief in Union houses, tenant farmers most reluctantly parting with them in consequence of their inability to follow any out-door occupation. New discove ries of cases of most intense suffering are being made daily, and already the Union houses are rapidly filling. TILE PROGRESS OP THE _3/UIN DRAINAGE WORKS. Mr. Bazalgette, the chief engineer, presenieda report as to the main drainage works, which stated that the bulk of the workel had of necessity been stopped for a considerable liortion of the past month on account of the frost vhich had set in. The northern high level sewer, which had been relet to Messrs. Brassey, also awai ed a change of weather. The arrangements for placing Mr. I+ urness in pos session ,of the land along the whole File of the northern outfall sewer art nearly completed, and this work will be commenced at the end of the present month. The Itanelagh storm overflow sewer across Hyde-park progresses satisfactorily, works to the amount of £5.700 having been com pleted, in addition to the underpinning of the old sewer to the value of .i.4Q88. On the south side of the-river, the southern high level sewer is now in progress at five different places—three on the main line, and two on the Dulwich or Effra branch. Some remarkable strata of concreted shells and fossil bones were found during the progress of these works. The southern outfall sewer, which was commenced in April last, continues to be carried on in a business-like and satisfactory manner. The tunnel under Woolwich is about one mile in length, and varies from .45 to 75 feet in depth. Four shafts have been sunk, and 2,253 feet of tunnel completed, the headings being lighted with gas, and the miners working day and night. The tunnel will probably be completed next autumn. At the east end of Woolwich they were working in sand, and at the west end in chalk. The shaft in Sun-alley is .59 feet de: p, and is sunk in to the chalk, and but little water is Met with here. That in Howard's-yard, Powis-street, is 60 feet deep, and the lower half of the sewer is constructed in the chalk, the upper half in sand. The rest of the work is, with trifling exceptions, being constructed in open cutting; and about 6,257 feet had been com pleted, making 8,510 feet in tunnel, and open cut ting. The value of the work done is about £BO,OOO. The contractor has provided 12 steam engines, a steam-hoist, a tramway across the marshes, from the outfall to Woolwich Arsenal, and a locomotive for the conveyance of materials, also three observa tories for setting out the tunnel. The average depth is about 25 feet, and the cutting, generally is through safid and peat, but the sewer is mostly built upon concrete, restin g on the gravel, and much water has been encountered. The marsh ditches are being carried over the sewer in channels of brick work in cement. The land purchased by the board at the outlet for the engine -house, engines, &c., is about 34 acres. The works for the low level sewer, under the Surrey Consumers' Gas Company's pro perty, now progresses . satisfactorily, the water having been subdued and the excavations nearly completed. The old east outlet was of varying form and size, and in a very dilapidated condition. It is now being reconstructed, and the sewage con veyed through iron pipes to low water, and this will form a storm overflow in connection with the low level sewers. A steam engine and pumps have been erected here for the relie of the low level dis tricts, pending the completion of the main drainage works. It is at present pumping at a disadvantage into the temporary outlet, and it having been found that the present engine is capable of working more pumps, the board have recently ordered another large pump, which would give greater relief when the permanent outlet is completed. The report was received. THE NORTHERN MAIN OITTFALL SEWER. The following communications were received in reference to the 'outfall for the northern outfall sewer : "Admiralty, Jan. 9. " Sir—l am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 13th of December last,submitting plans of the proposed outfalls into the River Thames at Barking-reach, of tho northern portion of the sewage of the metropolis, and re questing their lordships' assent to the same.

Some other business having been disposed of, the board adjourned. TEE WESTERN BANK CASE. CRUELTY A 7 SEA. On Thursday evening Mr. Bower Marsh, deputy coroner for Rochester, concluded a lengthened. inquiry at that city into the circumstances attend ing the death of William Jordan, one of the crew of the Warlock, which lately arrived at Chatham from Demerara, whose death was alleged to have been occasioned by the gross cruelty and inhuman treatment which he received on board that vessel at the hands of Peter Emslie, the captain. Prior to the examination of the witnesses the deputy-coroner and jury proceeded on board the Warlock to view the body. The deceased, .a fine muscular young man of colour, apparently about 20 years of age, was lying on the floor of the forecastle with only a few rags under him and a piece of blanket round his legs, every other part of the body being bare. The forecastle was dripping with wet, and, not withstanding the intense severity of the weather, no fire was permitted in it. The body of the deceased was lying in filth and wet, and the stench arising was so great as to overpower several of the jurors. The deceased had died in exactly the same place where his body lay, and the spectacle the body presented was most distressing. Deceased, it appeared, was visited on Saturday afternoon last by Mr. Lee, a Scripture reader employed by one of the religious societies at Rochester, who found him lying on the floor of the forecastle with only a piece or blanket tied round his legs, and another piece round his loins. He was then insensible and dying, and, notwithstanding the inclement weather, not a vestige of clothing was upon him, and his body and arms were quite bare. The Scripture reader described it as the most painful sight he had ever witnessed, An effort was made for him to be Lord Kinloch, Judge Ordinary, has pronounced admitted yito the naval hospital at Melville, but an interlocutor, sustaining the general relevancy of as he was not in her Majesty's service, he the action against the late directors of this bank could not be taken into that establishment. instituted by the liquidators, Referring to the alter- On the captain of the vessel being remon native charge of knowing the state of affairs, or strated with he treated the matter with the failing to inquire, his lordship says :—" The direc- greatest unconcern.

A letter from Mola di Gaeta, dated Jan. 4, says : An order of the day of General Cialdini has sud denly stopped all direct communication between this -village and Naples. Though this measure may seem a rather despotic ono to Englishmen, yet it was rendered necessary by the fact that agents of Francis 11. came now and then together informa tion es to what the Piedmontese were doing, and when they had got it they contrived to get to Gaeta by means of some French or Spanish steamer. This fact having been ascertained by the Piedmon tese Commander-in-Chief, he wisely thought fit to throw up a sort of Chinese wall between the centre of his military operations and the other parts of the kingdom. So strictly is this order carried out, that three days ago Mr: Arthur Russell, on his arrival here from Rome, was arrested, together with his travelling companions, Mr. Cartwright, and the Prussian Consul-General at Rome. Mr. Russell, however, being the bearer of a letter of introduction to General Cialdini, matters were soon set right as far as he was concerned. Sir James Iludeon, who had given the letter, having, how ever, omitted to mention the names of the'other two gentlemen, they were not allowed to inspect our works, and went to Naples greatly disappointed. You will infer from the strict orders thus issued by Cialdini that we are drawing nearer to the completion of the siege operations. And such is indeed the case: I cannot, of course, mention the names of the places where our numerous batteries are ; but I may tell you without indiscretion that they are very near to the walls of the doomed city. The Sardinian frigate 'Charles Albert, and the steamer Count Cavour, have just brought here the siege materiel which was wanting, so that both Cavalli's guns and howitzers of the largest size 'are now to be mounted on the different batteries, which are nearly finished. It is generally reported to-day that the French fleet has at last received orders to leave us alone. I give this news as I heard it, without however vouching for its correctness. Louis Napoleon has so often deceived our expectations that it is a very difficult task indeed to know what his intentions really are. That in spite of the shower of shells the Piedmontese have already thrown into Gaeta, Francis 11. still intends to hold out, may be inferred from numerous facts which have come to my knowledge. Some letters were seized by the Sardinian police in which a high personage of the court of Francis 11. told his correspondents to be ready for a general rising. This worthy gentleman openly said that all depended upon resisting till next February, when Austria will declare war against Piedmont, and restore the dispossessed Italian princes to their dominions. Another fact which leads me to believe that resistance a l'outrance has been decided upon at Gaeta is, that Senor Bermudez de Castro, the Spanish Minister at the court of Francis 11., has sent orders to Naples to pay the rent of the apart ments he occupies in the Palazzo Craven for six months to come. The young Queen, who, by-the-bye, during the last bombardment has shown great courage, has not as yet left Gaeta, but on the contrary has sent orders to her milliner at Naples to send her a new set of riding dresses, a costume of which she is very fond. This morjing I had an opportunity of talking with a Neapolitan officer, and he told me that the young wife of Francis 11. is always to be seen in the place of greatest danger. During the bombardment of the 24th and 25th of December, two officers of her household were killed in the very room in which she was sitting, by the explosion of a shell. Al though the danger was imminent, the Bavarian Amazon did not stir from her chair, and gave orders for the removal of the dead bodies in the coolest possible manner. The Spanish Minister had also a narrow escape, for as he was lying in bed he received the rather unpleasant visit of a round shot, which smashed the washing-stand opposite. We read in the Journal des Debats of yesterday —The report of the recall of the squadron of M. Barbier de Tinan has been confirmed. The Pied montese have redoubled their vigilance and acti vity. Reinforcements have been sent to the Abruzzi, where Civitolla still continues, and where it seems certain that Count Trapani, a prince of the royal f a mily of Naples, has just entered. The arrest of Crispi at Palermo ence of the co nsequ is spoken of in popular movements which induced the Turin cabinet to cons titute a new adm inistr t ttio n in that city. It is given out that the Sardinian Government are about to form ten new regiments. In replying to the congratulatory address presented to him by the magistrates of the Milanese Junta, the King spoke with somewhat more decision that when he replied on New Year's-day to the corporation of Turin. Having now become a great nation," he said, "we maybe resolute in will without endangering OUT destiny." A letter in the Presse cites, but with all reserve, the following despatch from Leghorn, in the A llgemezne Zeitung : " Jan. s.—Two Russian ships of the line and one frigate hate arrived in this port, and several others are expected. Their destination is Gaeta." very mior, -Law Mae k on $ i. 18. a. 12. f). 4.
