with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
n relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
.lenerative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from 'he German of Dr. PICKFORD.

"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
ime, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. SVe trust this may not be the last, if ho shall
letect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
ower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
—" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this
listressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare
the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to
.ure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object
.han to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma-
rorrhcea 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, 1852.
—.‘ 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
cries at which the brochwe' is sold, places it within the reach of
every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April

"Those who complain most loudly are those only who know not

given the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
such are cases ix., and xviii. No. lx. had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally

in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
OPENING of the OXFORD and BIRMINGHAM.
Yesterday was the day appointed 'by the directors
of the Great Western Railway for celebrating the
completion and intended opening of the Oxford and
Birmingham Railway.
The portion of the line yesterday opened fur traffic
was that between Banbury and Birmingham, a dis-
tance of 42 miles. That part of it which lies between
Banbury and Fenny Compton was constructed under
the powers granted to make a line from Oxford to
Rugby, the portion from Fenny Compton to Rugby
having been abandoned by the Great Western Rail-
way Company. The line from Birmingham to join
the projected Oxford and Rugby at Fenny Compton
was projected by the Grand Junction Railway Com-
pany, who were then anxious to obtain an independent
entrance for themselves into London. In consequence
of the amalgamation between the Grand Junction and
the London and Birmingham Companies the projected
line was abandoned by the former company, and sub-
sequently taken up warmly by friends of the Great
Western Railway. The various contests, legal and par-
liamentary, which have taken place between the Great
Western and London and N orth-Western Railways
have made this line notorious in connexion with " the
battle of the gauges." At length, however, the sanc-
tion of the Legislature was obtained for the forma-
tion of the line, and after an expenditure of money
and an amount of annoyance and harassing unparal-
leled even sin the history of railway litigation, the line
has at length been completed on the mixed gauge, the
Legislature having decided that the narrow as well as
the broad gauge should be laid down upon it. In
order to celebrate the opening of this important com-
munication with the metropolis and the manufactur-
ing districts by means of the broad gauge, a large
number of persons, a fair proportion of whom were
ladies, were invited from London, Oxford, and Bir-
mingham, to proceed in a special train along the newly
completed line. The arrangements were that a
train should leave Loudon at nine o'clock in the
morning, calling at Oxford at 10.15. for Birmingham,
whence it would return to Warwick and Leamington
at half-past two in the afternoon. A collision—fortu-
nately, however, not attended with fatal consequences
—prevented a strict adherence to the proposed ar-
rangements, and threw a considerable damp over the
anticipated pleasures of the auspicious occasion. A
train of ten carriages, in one of which was the band
of the Ist Life Guards, left the station at Paddington
with the splendid engine " The Lord of the Isles,"
which, as a noble specimen of English workmanship,
was so greatly admired at the late Great Exhibition,
and which was now gaily decorated with garlands of
flowers, the Union Jack, and a number of flags and
streamers. The train daabed on in gallant style, the
band played lustily and well, and Oxford, with its
fine old towers, its halls and its colleges, was reached
at ten minutes to eleven. A halt of, a few minutes,
and at eleven the train was again under way,,and all
went on as well as before till it arrived at the small
station of Aynoe, sixteen miles froin OxfOrd. On
arriving within a short distance of the station,'and
while going at about fifty miles an hour, Useeeene
tinued whistle of the engine and the sudden applica,.
Lion of the breaks produced a momentary feeling .of._
uneasiness among the passengers, and this was immee,
diately followed by two or three slight' concussions,'
which confirmed the fears already entertained. '
On alighting from the carriage the first eVidence
which we saw of an accident having matured was the
total displacement of the stone facing and coping of
the platform of the station, and the engine lying .off_
the rails in a shattered and helpless condition. The
buffers were broken off, the gearing irons were lying
beside the vast machine, its front wheels were knocked
from their frames ; and under the ponderous mass
and behind the driving-wheels were the axle, and a
pair of wheels, in a position in which it appeared they
could only have been placed by the engine actually •
mounting above the axle, and running for some yards
on the top of the wheels. A few yards in front of
the engine were two luggage vans, the hinder one
lying upon the foremost, four of its wheels knocked
off, the hinder part of the van smashed in, the aides
bulging considerably over the rails on each side,
while the sacks of wheat which it contained, as well
as casks of vinegar, were pouring their contents upon
the ground. Beyond these two vans, at a distance of
a few yards, stood another, the massive framing and
buffers of which were splintered in the most extra-
ordinary manner. Again, at a distance of about
forty or fifty yards, were another engine and two
carriages, the hinder part of the latter of which
was smashed, and the partitions split. Some two
or three dozen persons had already jumped out of the
carriages, several were lying on the ground, and
some who were still inside were unable or unwilling
to move ; but the look of terror which pervaded all,
and the contused and bleeding faces, told but too
plainly the fact that a passenger train had been run
into by the special train. Fortunately, none of the
persons appeared to be seriously hurt ; those who had
received the greatest amount of injury had their
wounds dressed at the station, while the others were
forwarded on by the train to Banbury.
On returning back to the station and making in-
quiries as to the cause of the accident, it appeared
that the train which had been run into was the 7.40
down train from London to Banbury, and which was
due at Aynoe at 10.40. The passenger train did not
arrive at Oxford till about half-past ten, when, ex-
pecting the special train, which did not arrive till
11.20—it waited a considerable time in the siding to
allow it to pass. Not having made its appearance,
the train left the station twenty-three minutes before
the special train, having a distance of twenty-three
miles to run in order to reach Banbury. While the
passenger train was waiting at Aynoe, collecting the
tickets for Banbury, the special train came in sight,
and the passengers having hastily taken their seats the
engine-driver at once put on all his steam in order to
carry the train further down the line to save a collision.
On starting, however, the coupling-chain which con-
nected the luggage vans with the passenger carriages
broke. At this instant the engine of the special train
ran into the hindmost luggage van, forced it and two
others preceding it along the line, till they came into
contact with the passenger carriages. The severe
blow struck by the engine against the weighty lug-
gage vans, threw it off the line, and, after ploughing
up the ground for some dozen yards, breaking off the
switches, and tearing up the transoms, came into con-
tact with the masonry of the platform, and was finally
brought to a stand still. Every attempt was made by
Messrs. Brunel and Gooch, together with the engine-
driver, to bring up the train, in order to avoid colli-
sion, but owing to the short distance it was impossible
to do so. The signal at the station, in consequence
of its being at the extremity of a very sharp curve,
cannot be seen for a greater distance than four hun-
dred yards, and from the moment that the caution was
seen, notwithstanding all the breaks were applied, and
the steam reversed, it was found impossible with the
train going at the rate of fifty miles an hour to bring
it up. The debris and wreck caused by the collision
were most extraordinary, and but one feeling of won-
der and astonishment was manifested that no severe
personal injury had been sustained. With the excep-
tion of one or two who were slightly shaken, no per-
son received any injuries in the special train.
Mr. Brunel proceeded OR by the passenger train to
Banbury, and shortly after returned with the engine,
with which the line having been cleared, and the
carriages transferred to the up-line, the special train
proceeded on to Leamington. It was not considered
advisable to proceed to Birmingham, and a message
was sent requesting those who were to have joined
the party at Birmingham to come on by train to
Leamington, instead of, as originally intended, by the
special train.
By the new route from London to Birmingham the
distance will be 1281 miles, that by the London and
North-Western being 112. The following are the
names of the various stations upon the new portion of
the line beyond Banbury, with their distances from
London :—Cropredy, 89i ; Fenny Compton, 94;
Harbury, 99 ; Leamington, 105 i ; Warwick, 101 f ;
Hatton, 111 - ; Knowle, 118/ ; Solihull, 1221 ;
Bsr-
mingham, 124
The country through which the line passes as it
nears Birmingham is very interesting, while the
works upon the line are many of them exceedingly
heavy. One of the heaviest cuttings probably in
England is one at Harbury-3,000,000 cubic yards
of marl and limestone were removed; the cutting is
at the deepest point 110 feet in depth, and its breadth
at the top 140 yards, the slope being lin Be-
yond this is an embankment of four miles in length,
and 23 feet in height, formed from the spoil, and not
less than 40 acres are covered to a height of 20 feet
by the remaining unused portion of the soil. At
Wbitmarsh there is a cutting in red marl, from which
350,000 cubic yards of earth were removed. The
railway runs for a considerable distance side by side
with the narrow gauge lines, and crosses, in almost
immediate contact with the Rugby and Leamington,
tae High-street at Leamington by means of an iron
bridge of 150 feet span. At Myton the line passes
under the Oxford and Birmingham Canal, the water
being carried over by an aqueduct, in the construction
of which a large amount of labour and engineering skill
is evident. The Avon is crossed by a bridge of 160 feet ;
and a short distance beyond is an extensive viaduct of
thirty arches of twenty-five feet span. The road at
Warwick and the canal are crossed by means of iron
girder bridges. At Hatton there is an embankment
of three miles in length and twenty-five feet in height,

tin
length and forty feet in height, and at Haycock%••
green there is another of a mile in length, and 48 feet
in height, followed by a 30 feet cutting of consider-
able length. The railway passes under the Bristol
and Gloucester Railway at a part where it runs on an
embankment 50 feet high, and the whole of the works
connected with the required tunnel were completed
without any stoppage of the ordinary traffic. An iron
bridge 150 feet in length carries the railway over
the Warwick Canal, and the Coventry-road is crossed
by an arch of 60 feet span. A most remarkable proof
cf the energy displayed by Messrs. Peto and Betts,
in the completion of the line, is shown by the fact
that the whole of the works through Leamington and
Warwick, at Myton, with not less than three miles of
viaducts and bridges, and the other works we have
mentioned, between Fenny Compton and Birming-
ham, were completed in the incredibly short space of
forty weeks. The average number of men employed
was 5,000. The entire management of the works
during their progress was confided by Messrs. Peto
and Betts to Mr. Charles Watson. The line ap-
pears to be remarkably well constructed, and has, we
believe, been highly approved by the Government in-
spector.

- In the special train we noticed a new composite
carriage, constructed to carry 24 first class and .56
second-class passengers. Two first-class carriages,
ranged together, occupy the centre, and two second-
class carriages each extreme end. The length of the
entire carriage is 39 feet, and its width 9 feet 9
inches ; it is filled with papier mache panels. The
under part, or framing of the carriage, is entirely of
iron ; the wheels are placed in two vets at each end,
eliaviog their centres five'leei apart, the distance from
the centres of the extreme wheels being 28 feet.
Intelligence of the collision at Aynoe reached Bir-
mingham at one o'clock, and orders were received by
electric telegraph to send the Sultan engine down the
line to render any assistance that might be required.
It so happened, however, that while going to take in
water the engine ran off the rails, and got embedded
in the soil ; and, notwithstanding all the exertions of
the labourers, it could not be replaced on the rails for
several hours. The services of the electric telegraph
were again put in requisition, and ultimately the
Amazon, with two first-class and several second-class
carriages, left Birmingham at half-past four P.m., in
order to convey that portion of the visitors which was
to have come from Birmingham to Leamington accord-
ing to the original arrangement. Large numbers of per-
sons were assembled at the station at Snow-hill to
witness the arrival of the first broad-gauge train into
this hotly-disputed territory. The party from Bir-
mingham reached Leamington about half-past five,
when they proceeded to the Regent's Hotel and joined
the party from London.
Amongst thsse, present we observed—Lord and
Lady Villiers, the Hon. Colonel Clive (chairman of
the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Company),
the Kon. S. Cotton, Mr. S.M. Peto, M.P., Mr. J. W.
Buller, the chairman, and Mr. Badham, the secretary
of`,the Bristol and Exeter Company; the Rev. Dr.
Harington, principal of Brasenose College ; the Rev.
Dr. Jeune, master of Pembroke College ; the Rev.
Dr. arid Miss Saunders ; Captain Bulkeley, Mr.
Paull and Mr. Potter, directors of the Great Western
Ctimpany, and Mr. C. A. Saunders, the secretary;
`Mejor and Mrs. Court, the Misses Bulkeley, Mr.
Brunel, Mr. Seymour Clarke, and Mr. Mowatt, the
general manager and secretary of the Great Northern
-Railway; Mr. Frederick Clarke, general superin-
tendent, of the South Wales Railway, and Mrs. F.
Clarke; Mr. F. Saunders, the secretary; and Mr.
Manley, the assistant locomotive superintendent of
the South Wales Railway; Mr. Rennet and Mr.
Tredwell, the well-known contractors ; Mr. and Mrs.
Norris, of Sutton Courtney ; Mr. Parker, a director
of the Great Northern line ; Mr. Bertram, C.E. • Mr.
Kershaw, the secretary of the Birmingham and Ox-
ford line ; Mr. Merewether, Mr. T. Martin ' • Mr.
Matthews, deputy-chairman of the South Wales
Railway, and many other gentlemen connected with
various of our railways.'
Ample justice having been done to the dejeuncr,
Mr. SIMMONDS, one of the directors who presided
in the absence of Mr. Russell, the chairman, who was
prevented from attending by an attack of lumbago,
proposed the usual loyal and national toasts, which
were received with great enthusiasm.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed " Success to the Ox-
ford and Birmingham Railway." He stated that it
would be open to the public to-morrow (this day).
The line bad been long looked' for, but had-arrived-at-
last.—(Cheers.) The work had been nobly executed,
and reflected the higlaest credit upon the engineer and
all parties connected with it.—(Cheers.) The visi-
tors had seen the beauty and completeness of the line,
and it was therefore unnecessary for him to detain
them by any description of it.
The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm.
The Hon. Mr. CLIVE next proposed " The Health
of the Directors, and success to the broad gaugp and
the Great Western Railway." Since the year
1848 the Legislature had determined that there
should be a broad gauge, and from that period to
the present he had been constantly directing his at-
tention to the attainment of this desideratum, satisfied
that sooner or later the intentions of the Legislature
would be carried out.—(Cheers.) The day had at
last come, and now he telt satisfied, happen what
might, that there must be a broad gauge line direct
from London (via Oxford) to the Mersey.—(Cheers.)
He was therefore exceedingly glad to find that they
had now completed one important link in this much
desired route. He was not for competition for low
rates—he desired only competition for the public
accommodation.—(Cheers.) Let them have competi-
tion in that sense, and then be had no hesitation in
expressing his opinion, that they should be not only
benefiting the proprietors themselves, but also satis-
fying the public, whom they were bound to serve.
Tne CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks for the direc-
tors, also avowed himself as an opponent to ruinous
competition ; but at the same time he stated that the
Great Western Railway would never allow itself to
be borne down by any railway in the United King-
dom.—(Cheers.)
The toast of "Prosperity to the Birmingham and
Shrewsbury, and the Shrewsbury and Chester Rail-
ways," next followed, and was acknowledged by the
Hon. Mr. Clive and Mr. Roy, directors of the re-
spective lines.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the " Health of Mr.
Brunel, the engineer in .chief," which was briefly re-
sponded to by that gentleman. He stated that what-
ever other qualities the directors might approve him
for, they could not value him in his speech-
making qualities. As he could not make speeches
he never attempted them, preferring rather to under- ,
take only such works as he knew he could accomplish i
well.
The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The lieelths of
Messrs. Peto, M.P., Betts, Brassey, Treadwell, and
the other contractors for making the line.
Mr. PETO, M.P., in returning thanks, said that he
had not anticipated the honour which had been done
him, nor the kindness of the reception which had
been given to him and his friends, but felt deeply
thankful for it. He could not personally for a moment
claim the slightest merit with respect to any of the
works upon the line. His labours in connexion
with the works bad been light, indeed, owing to
the perfectness of the designs, which could not
be surpassed, and the valuable assistance of the
engineer-in-chief. He also desired to express his
most cordial acknowledgments, and the obligation
which he and his partners lay, to the ad-
mirableand efficient conduct of the clergy and
under
magistrates of the districts in which the works were
carried on. Having been the employers of s,ooomen
for upwards of three years, it must be manifest that,
without their kind and valuable assistance, they could
never have conducted them so as to ensure that per-
feet safety and security of property in the various
districts in which they were employed. In concluti49°,
he stated that it afforded him great pleasure to
tiin ,
that the works of the railway had given satisfaction
to the directors.
Lord VILLIERS then proposed 66The Health of lair.
Saunders, the secretary of the Great western n ail-
way," which, in the absence of that gentleman, was
acknowledged by Captain Buckley, one of the
directors.
Various other toasts followed, and the company re-
turned to the station, which they left about haq-past
seven, and arrived in London a few minutes after one
o'clock. On passing the Aynoe station on our return
we observed that the line was perfectly clear, and that
the shattered " Lord of the Isles," with the dilapi-
dated luggage vans, occupied a place on the siding.
It was also ascertained that no bones had been broken
by the unfortunate occurrence of the morning, while
those of the passengers who received injuries were
going on well or rapidly recovering.

Lord John Ruqsell, on Friday evening, slept in
the Royal George Hotel, and next day left by the Dundee
Railway for Rossie Priory, on a visit to Lord Kinnaird,
where a distinguished party -,vere invited to meet him. On
Sunday Lord and Lady Kinnaird, with their noble guests.
attended Divine worship at the parish church of Inchture.
Lord John Russell returned to Perth on Monday, and left
in the afternoon by the Central Railway for his Highland
homes the Gart Callander.—Perth Courier.
