ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMA.TORR.I-ICEA ;
with the View to the Correction of-wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatmeut and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from
the German of Dr. PICKFORD, of the University of Heidelberg.
- Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust 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, May 30, 1851.
—" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this
distressing malady by translating this little hook, 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 Sperma-
torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the
treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1832.
- We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary
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, April

HEALTH or Ma. ROEBUCK, M P.—The following
extract from a letter dated the 19th inst., and addressed
by Mr. Roebuck to Mr. William Fisher, of Sheffield,
completely sets at rest all doubts respecting his present
state of health. He says, " I now deem myself com-
pletely recovered and ready for any reasonable amount
of work. I see the Daily News intimates a doubt of my
being able to be present at the election. There is no
reason for any such doubt. I am quite able to undergo
the fatigue needed, and shall be ready for the work so
soon as the work comes. I beg my friends to believe
that I do not intend to shirk any trouble or labour. My
articulation is new right again, and my weakness greatly
diminished."

THE DUKE OF YORK'S SCHOOL AT CREMORNE.--
On Monday night the annual treat• to the young soldiers of
this admirable institution took place. At three o'clock they
were marched in military procession to the gardens, headed
by their excellent band, and after perambulating the grounds
and witnessing the varied amusements, they formed in circles
around the balloon, which was already inflated, and com-
menced a vigorous attack upon the good things provided
through the liberality of Mr. Simpson. At this time the
appearance of the balloon-ground was strikingly interesting
—the grouping of the lilliputians and their petite band con-
trasted with the very large number of larger spectators and
the great Cremorne band—the very handsome balloon, the
sylpb, forming a huge centre, and the colossal vases and
sculptures—the outline formed a picture which imagination
would find a difficulty in conceiving. A few minutes before
eiwent Mr. Coswell, the ,well-knewn continental aeronaut,
ent away with the balloon at a very rapid pace, and de-

'THE .ORYSTAL PALACE
- . .T(From the Times.)
Its a twolf:prisenth, We are assured, the brilliant shell
of the Griati yjxhibition will have been transferred from
Hyde-p'3l.lr to a loftier though less aristocratic position
on the hilt? between Sydenham and Norwood. As the
site is said to beionly a few feet.below the crest of a bill,
which cannot be, less .than 300 feet above 1 high water
mark, and as the !whole nave of the new building is to
be arched like the existing transept, and a new centre
transept substituted twice as high as the present, the
Crystal Palace Will not lose by the change. The whole
f the vastlmilding, from its arched roof ,to the plat-
form on which it stands, will be seen from every emi-
nence near London; at some points' forty Milea off it
will be a eciaspictious object in the distant .horison; it
will be visible from its present site, and will bathe first
sign of this metropolis that meets the - eyet, of most
foreigners arriving from Germany or France. That
it will somewhat interfere with the rural character
of the surrounding valleys may be readily admitted,
but the slopes of Norwood and the quiet vale of
Dulwich, the heights of Sydenham, and even the re-
cesses of Bromley and Chislehurst have "long: been
invaded by this pushing metropolis, and tiorn Fo-
rest-hill to Croydon the railway is becoming one
continuous suburb of London. Besides the holders of
" residential" tickets, who travel to and fro every day,
many thousands go by rail every Sunday and Monday
to the tea-gardens at Anerley, Sydenhann and other
places, with as much refreshment to body and mind as
the Minister who spends his Sunday an Richmond, or
the millionaire who escapes from consols or calico to
groves and kites of his own making in Herts or Wilts.
There is no help for it; London will spread, and as the
world Os more populous and wealthy, the centre of
the conathereiel world will increase in proportion—un-
less, indeed, the currents of trade should one day leave
.heir present channel and take a new direction, when, as
Babylon, as !Eyre, .as Alexandria, as Palmyra,
as Veniee,. as even Antwerp and Ghent have seen
the great human tide recede_ from their streets

read in its changed fortunes the bitter announce-
ment thet its kingdom is given unto another.
The question of profit and loss we may safely leeve to
the new proprietors of the Crystal Pale* -and the
London, Brighton, -and South Coast Railway Clompany.
the latter yesterday decided by .a large .majOrity in
favour ,ofttlice new undertaking. As little is it necessary
foreinte urge thent to do the thing well while they are
about it, since they are evidently resolved that the
I.ansplantel Palace shall, thrive by the change of air,
and be a more magnificent structure than before. The
only- question at this moment that cells for any re-
mark from us is one that has been raised by some pious
find respectable personages, who wish to nip the scheme
in the bud, by closing the building on the only day
upon which nice-tenths of , our population have any
eharice of visiting it. At the Bridge-house Hotel
yesterday a Mr. Cox moved an amendment to
the effect that the Crystal Palace should be
closed on the Sabbath, and, we are glad to say,
iound no seconder. The other day, however, as our
Court newsmen tells us, the Archbishop of Canterbury,
and several other distinguished and prosperous pietiste,
went to Lord Derby to ask his intercession for the same
enlightened and generous object. His Lordship gave
the same answer tbat ho has returned this session to ap-
plicants of all kinds, viz., that when the occasion should
arrive he would take the matter into consideration. He
stands, therefore, unpledged, and open to consider the
comfort end convenience of the profane million as well
as the temples of the sanctimonious few. He inclines,
hovrover, it is said, to his favourite idea of a "compro-
mise." Should any more deputations proceed to Dow-
ning-street on the same mission as that we have men-
tioned---and we hear that another is intended—we trust
that soave Monday morning a deputation of artisans,
with their wives and children, will give his Lordship an
opportunity of hearing and seeing the other side of the
question.
We admit that in en affair of such magnitude the
State will be justified in a more than usual degree of in-
terference. Suppose then that the Crystal Palace shall
not be open on Sunday till two o'clock, and that, at least
on that day, no intoxicating beverage be permitted in
the building, wo ask why the working population of
London should not have the opportunity of combining a
little rational amusement with their weekly excursion?
We presume it will not be denied that a London artisan
may take his family out on the Sunday for a mouthful
of fresh air and a sight of the green fields and trees on
the only day allowed him. Certainly the last persons to
deny him this indulgence are those who, besides airy
and beautiful mansions in town, have country seats to
which they can retire whenever they feel ailing or over-
worked, and who also every year betake themselves for
several weeks to some watering place, to Wales, to the
Highland's, to the Rhine, or to Switzerland. Surely
there are none so inhuman, so stupid as to maintain that
the working Londoner ought to spend his Sunday in his
own dark and dismal hole, breathing the reeking atmos-
phere or close courts and yards. The home of the
average Londoner, wo are sorry to say, is no home at
all; it is a grave, not a home, for to be shut up in it
is to sicken and die. Fortunately, the man generally
has his work, which takes him elsewhere, to more airy
rooms and to a less stagnant atmosphere, and at least to
a change of scene; while the woman is compelled to go
about to market for her family; while the children, if
not et school, are usually playing out of doors. Bat if
the Sunday is to be spent in sitting alternately at home
and at church or chapel,. and taking .. a dull
walk through the neighbouring streets, it will
be no day of health and strength—no day of
light and joy, no day of deliverance and enlarge-
ment. Let none venture to deny this who have the op-
portunity of strolling " between services," over green
fields or through their own plantations, and who can sit
out of doors in the Sunday evening and hear their own
waterfalls and their own nightingales. Let none ven-
ture to deny it who have been rolling in their own car-
riages, or on the railway, twenty or thirty miles a day,
or more, the whole week, and to whom it is a pleasant
relief to sit still and read a book en Sunday. When the
wealthy pietist charges the poor operative to observe
the Sabbath by sitting at home and reading sermons he
is simply enacting the old fable of the fox and the stork,
for he is providing
an entertainment in which his own
convenience is consulted at the expense of his guests.
If the rich man will offer the poor man a dish of his own
Sabbath, he ought at least to season it with a bit of his
own week-days.
But if it be conceded, as we are sure it must, that the
London artisan does well to spend half his day of rest,
if he can, in the country, now that Providence, which
has enlarged this metropolis beyond
vvalkitig distance,
has given us wings in the shape of railway trains, there
will be no great difficulty in the further concession that
some shelter, some object, and some innocent recreation
may be properly combined with the Sunday excursion.
For the greater part of the year some shelter is neces-
sary in this climate from the rain, the wind, the heat, or

divested es much as possible of the character of a
bazaar, and made an exhibition of the works of nature,
as well as those choicer works of art that rise in their
degree towards it sacred rank and an elevating tendency.
We are not proposing to substitute a temple of nature or
a temple of art for the temple of the Christian's worship.
We only say that if it be allowable and proper for the
artisan to take his family on a Sunday a few miles into
the country, his only pleasure ground on Sunday, his
only holiday; and by railway, his only moans of locomo-
tion* so far=theri it is necessary there should be shelter,
refreshment, and occupation at the end of the journey;
and these objects will be provided' quite as wen in the
Crystal Palace as in the ordinary " tea gardens" that
now constitute the terminus of the Sunday's excursion.
In a question of, this delicate character, as Christians
under a law of liberty, we must take circumstances into
account, and on a considerate and charitable estimate of
the working Londoner's condition and circumstances we
are not disported to grudge him either his Sunday's
excursion, or any reasonable amount of bodily re-
freshment and mental recreation which can be combined
with it.

(From the Morning Herald.)
The Brighton shareholders yesterday decided by a
large majority to sanction the arrangement which had
been entered into between their directors and the direc-
tors of.the Crystal Palace Company, and we cannot but
think that in so doing' the majority have exercised a
wise discretion. There is every reason to believe that
the Crystal Palaoo Exhibition, with, its winter gardeh of
eighteen acres and its.park of 200 acres, wilt fulfil the
sanguine expectations of its projectors; and if the
gigantic undertaking should prove auceessful, the line
r tiusnce,ontivigueoudau cannontotb,eretveshtharnet
Crystal Palace Company, is departing from the tl°4llCegreaßliylrwigianhytotintoswgChoooicmdhpanfiot y, in attaching itself to the
legiti-
mate object to which the attention of railway direc-
tors ought strictly to be turned. The Brighton line,
as well es the South-Western, depends mainly
for its returns upon -a pleature-seeking public. ' Its
directors cannot sit quietly at home, and feel certain
that, whether they invite their passengers by extraordi-
nary allurements or not, their 600,0001. per annum will
still blow regularly into their exchequer. A writer has
justly remarked, " the Brighton line is not like the
North •Western and ether business lines, where traffic
comes of itself. and ebbs and flows with the commercial
depression or prosperity of the country." Its business
traffic is exceedingly limited, and travellers have to be
tempted by extraordinary facilities and unusual advan-
tages. Hence the excursion-trains, the reduction of the
price of season-tickets, and the quickening of express
trains between the metropolis and the sea-side residence.
It the Crystal Palace scheme be carried out in a high
and national spirit, the Brighton Company may fairly
ally itself—of course, within all reasonable and lawful
limits—with the unique and magnificent undertaking;
and that such a spirit will actuate the projectors of the
work we can hardly doubt when we find such names as
Paxton, Fox, Digby Wyatt, Cubitt, Owen Jones, and
Scott Russell printed on the prospectus of the company,
418 vouchers for the good faith with which the public
are invited to co-operate in the great and popular de-
sign. The arrangement having been concluded with the
it now only remains for the directors
Brighton Company,

of the People's Palace to complete the promises they
have put forth. No ordinary exhibition will meet public
expectation, or repay outlay of capital. The World's
Fair in 1851 was a matchless sight. The People's
Pa-
lace, winter garden, and park, in 1853, must find no pa-
rallel. It has hcen !stated, on authority, that a small
charge for admittance will yield a good return for capital
expended, provided only as many persons visit the New
Palace in alwelvemonth as flocked into the old in the
course of a fortnight. We can easily believe it; and
the only way to secure the influx is to compel it by the
offer of enjoyments that shall be sought in vain else-
where. Can we suppose that the millions will not
prefer to the places of mere animal entertainments the
finest site in the suburbs of London for their holiday
trip, where the noblest edifice in the world, filled
the glories of nature and art, will be ready to receive
them; where gardens and a park of great extent will be
open to their inspection, and where it will be impossible
the
to spend an hour without derivingwith
highest order of
physical comfort. together with the
elevating of intellectual instruction? Because we cannot
doubt the fact, we warn the Crystal Palace Company of
the nature of the work before them, of thes t pos nn ab
they incur, and of the necessity of proceeding with their
of
undertaking in a spirit worthy mostorpelseas it il iy

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Senate met on Monday, Prince Jaaoiva Bo-
NAPARTE in the chair. It decided that there was
not any reason to oppose the' promulgation of the Bill
concerning the definitive regulation of the budget of
1843. The report on the Bill relative to the defini-
tive settlement of the budget of 1849 was then pre-
sented by the Marquis D'AUDIFFRET ; and the mea-
sure having been forthwith discussed was declared to
present no reasons for not being promulgated. M.
ROUHER, president of the legislative section of the
Council of State, was introduced, and read a senatus
consultum, deliberated on in that body, and tending to
regulate the constitution of the colonies of Mar-
tinique, Guadaloupe, and Reunion. The Senate de-
cided that a Committee of ten Members should be
named to examine the matter. After several Bills,
lately adopted by. the legislative body, had been pre-
sented by Baron DE LACROSSE, the secretary, some
reports on petitions were heard, and the sitting ter-
minated.

The Legislative Body also held a public PNing at
one o'clock, M. BILLAULT in the chair. The Pee-
sident informed the House that he had received
from the Minister of State a new wording of Art. 1
of the Bill demanding an annual credit of 300,000 f.
for the servants of the late civil list, by which word-
ing, deliberated on, and agreed to by the Council of
State, a sum of 20,000 f. was added to that credit.
(This sum, which is said to have been inserted at the
desire of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, is in-
tended• to make some provision for the servants
of Queen MARIE AMELIE and ()Übe Princesses.) This
new wording was referred to the Committee already
appointed on the Bill. M. Gouirr presented 'the re-
, port pn the budg.et aaf rectiArer PA!, a4.llore 'were
'also presente&Mireii "dthet ' reports, one concerning
the Bill demanding a credit for the works of the
tomb of the Emperor NAPOLEON; a second, on the
Bill relative to the French consular jurisdiction in
China and the states of the Imaum of MUiCAT ; and
lastly, one on the Bill relative to a credit for the mo-
nument to be erected to the late Archbishop of PARIS.
The reports were ordered to be printed and distri-
buted. The sitting was then brought to a close at
half-past one. After the public sitting, the Deputies
met in their bureaux to nominate several committees.
One was on the Bill concerning the concession of the
Caen and Cherbourg Railway, on which considerable
discussion took place, and in general the Bill was
objected to. The Bill relating to the concession of
the Bordeaux to Cette Railway met with general ap-
probation. Finally, a Committee was appointed on
the Bill demanding a credit of 120,000 f. for the fitting
up of the Royal Museum.
The market was very animated on Monday, and
a large business was transacted, a considerable
amount of which was said to be on English ac-
count. An impulse was also given by a report that
M. FOULD and M. DE MORNY were about to re-
enter the Ministry, with an understanding that some
material modifications in the decrees relative to the
ORLEANS property would be made. It was also
stated that the Government bad decided on not
adding anything more to the public debt in the shape
of a loan, but that if money should be wanted for
the public service it would be raised by the sale of
some of the forests of the State.
On the late railway arrangements, the Constitu-
tionnel contains a long and exceedingly interesting
article, giving an historical sketch of the various in-
cidents which have now for the last six years delayed
the execution of the Paris to Cherbourg, and Bor-
deaux to Cette lines, and adducing reasons to prove
that the interests of the country call imperatively at
present for the prompt construction of these impor •
taint means of communication.
The Pays refers to the amalgamation effected be-
tween the Lyons, the Avignon, and Marseilles lines,
and fully approves of the proceeding.
The Moniteur publishes a decree of the PRESI-
DENT of the Republic, dissolving the Municipal
Council of Toulouse.
A statue of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, of a larger
size than thOse which have been hitherto placed in
the public markets, was inaugurated on Monday in
the Marche St. Germain, with great ceremony. The
statue in question is cut in fine Tonnerre stone, and
is 1 metre 30 cen. in height. The local authorities,
with the clergy, and a detachment of the National
Guard and a military band, were present. A grand
ball was given in the evening, for the benefit of
the poor.

The Siecle expresses great anger against the English
for keeping up the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo.
There is some reason, perhaps, in what the Siècle says,
but it should not exaggerate the proportions of this
manifestation. It is not a national but a private dis-
play, and ought not to bo considered in the light of a
national anniversary celebrated with the view of °frond-
ing the susceptibility of the French people. The Sack
says—
" The Duke of Wellington has persisted in the celebration
of the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo—a battle lost
twice in the day by the English, and gained in the evening
by the Prussians. We shall confine ourselves to the fact that
on that day on which French arms succumbed to numbers
and chance, England had for her friends all the Governments
which were hostile to the 'progress of human reason and
of regulated liberty. Is that a remembrance so hcnourable
for England? If we desired to place laurels on the caps of
our soldiers on every anniversary of a battle gained, it would
suffice to decree that the laurel shall form part of the French
uniform. It is not merely bad taste in the midst of peace
and of friendly relations between the two countries to revive
irritating reminiscences, it is also unwise policy. Great
Britain, when the ally of the despotic Governments, has
only led to ruins and reaction in Europe; but when the ally
of France, she created the kingdom of Greece, effected the
independence of Belgium, and assured first to Spain, and
then to Piedmont, the enjoyment of a constitutional regime.
Let then the Noble Duke, for the felr years which he has to
live, continue to fate the 18th of June with his old com-
panions of arms. We shall not again speak of it, for it is
melancholy to see an illustrious old man obstinately repeat
each year a ceremony, scarcely excusable in the midst of the
intoxication of an unmerited success."

GERMANY.
A letter from Cologne of the 17th in the Prussian
Eagle Gazette, states that on the preceding day a
Papal recruiting officer arrived there by rail from
Minden with 89 recruits, who were to embark on
board of one of the Netherlands Company's steamers,
to go up the Rhine without delay. Many of these
recruits still wore the uniform of the army of Schles-
wig.Llolstein, and had enrolled for the Papal German
Legion which is to be created at Rome. But the
police authorities of Cologne being informed of the
arrival of this party, not only opposed their further
progress, but even put the recruiting officer under
provisional arrest, in order to ascertain whether there
were any Prussian subjects among the recruits, the
enrolment of such for foreign service detaineddicted by law. Several of the recruits were
33 belonging to that description of per ; after
which the recruiting officer was allowed to depart
with the remainder.
