valuable and important statements. To recommend the work to

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRIREA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatmeat 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, be 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 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 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 8, 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
price, at which the brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of
every one interested In the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April

Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

" Those who complain most loudly are those only who know not
how to use the common instruments

about the simple cure of diseases, and a passion for operations and
all the excesses and horrors of surgery."—John Bell's Surgical
Observations.—"ln proof of his views he (Mr. Courteray) has
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., xi., xii.. and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a.
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xis. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently saccessfid."

THE CRYSTAL PALACE
(From the Times.)
In a twelvemonth, we are assured; the brilliant shell
of the Great. Exhibition Will hive been transferred from
Hyde-park to a loftier though less aristocratic position
on the hill between Sydenham and Norwood. As the
site is said to be only a few feet below the crest of a bill,
whidh cannot be less than 300 feet above high water
marl:, 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
Cryi;tat Palace will not lose by the change. The *hole
of the vast building, from its arched roof to the plat-
form, on which it stands, will be seen from every emi-
nenoe near London; at some points forty miles off it
will be a conspicuous object in the distant horizon; it
will be visible from its present site, and will be the first
sign,. of this metropolis that meets the eyes of most
fore4igners 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 und the quiet vale of-
Dulwich, the heights of Sydenham, and even the re-
cesscla of Bromley and Chislehurst have long been
invaded by this pushing metropolis, and from Fo-
rest-.'hilt to Croydon the railway is becoming one
continuous suburb of London. &sides the holders of
" residential" tickets, who travel. to and fro every day,
many thousands go by rail every Sunday and Monday
to tho tea-gardens at Anerley, Sydenham, and other
places, with as much, refreshment to body and mind as
the Minister who spends his Sunday at Richmond, or
the millionaire who escapes from consols or calico to
grove s and lakes of his osvn making in Harts or Wilts.
Thertl is no help for it; London will spread, and as the
world gets more populous and wealthy, the centre of
the commercial world will increase in proportion—un-
less, imdeed, the currents of trade should one day leave

;heir present channel and take a new direction, when, as
Babyl( ;n, as Tyre, as Alexandria, as Palmyra,
as Ve nice, as even Antwerp and Ghent have seen
seat ,_ human tida.....recada _from their streets
and their" shores, London itself may possibly
read in it] changed fortunes the bitter announce-
ment tb at its kingdom is given unto another.' -
The iltulstion of profit and loss we may safely leave to
the neer proprietors of the Crystal Palace, and the
Lender., Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company.
The latter yesterday decided by 'a large majority in
favour of the new undertaking. As little is it necessary
for us'ea urge them to do the thing-well while they are
about it, since they are evidently resolved that the
transplanted Palace shall thrive by the change of- air,
and be a more magnificent structure than before., The
only question at this moment that calls for any- re-
mark from us is one that has been raised by some pious
and respectable parsonages, who wish to nip the scheme
in the bad, by closing the building on the only day
upon which nine-tenths of our population have any
chance 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,
found no seconder. The other day, however, as our
Court newsman tells us, the Archbishop of Canterbury,
and several other distinguished and prosperous pietists,
went to Lord Derby to ask, his intercession for the' same
enlightened and
.generous object.' His Lordship :gave
samo answer that ho has returned this session to ap-
plicants of all kinds, viz , that when the occasion should
arrive ho would take the matter into consideration. He
stands, therefore, unpleeiged, and open to consider the
comfort and convenience of the profane million as well
as the scruples of the sanctimonious faw. He inclines,
however, it is said, to his favourite idea of a compro-
mise."more deputations proceed to Dow-
mission as that we, have men-
tioned—and we hear that another is intended—we trust

that some Monday morning a deputation of artisans,
with their wives arid children, will give his Lordship An
opportunity of hearing and Seeing the other side of the
effair of such magnitude the
quWestejoand.mit that in an
State will be jestified 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 thin, at least
on that day, no intoxicating • beverage be permitted in
the building, we ask why the working population of
London -should not have the opportunity of combiningg-a
little rational amusement with •their weekly excursion?
We presume it will not be denied that a London artisan
may take his family 'oat 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 areahose who, besides airy
and beautiful mansions in town 'have country seats to
which they can retire whenever ;hey feeluiling or over-
worked, and who also every year betake themselves for
several weeks to some watering place, to Wales, to the
Highlands, 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 '
ot close courts and yards. The home of the
average Londoner, we 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 at school, are usually playing oat of doors. 'Bat if
the Sunday is to he 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-
merge. Let none venture to deny 'this whcellave.the op=
portunity of strolling " between services," over Oxen:
fields or through their`dwn plaritationS, end 'Who can sit
out of &ors in the Sander evenink and hear their own
waterfalls and their own nightingales. Let , none ven-
ture to deny it who haveheen rolling in their own car-
riCtges; or, Cal the railway, twentpor thirty miles a day,
or more, the whole week,
and to whom it is a pleasant
relief to sit still and read a book on Sunday. When the
wealthy pietist chargei the
poor operative to observe
the Sabbath by . sitting. at home and reading sermons he
is simPlyenacting 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 inert will offer the poor man a dish of his own
Sabbath, he ought at least to season it wiih 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 welkin distance,
has given us wings in the shape of railway rains, 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-
eery !fl this climate from the rain, the wind, the heat, or
the cold. Suppose 'two or three hours spent at the
country terminus of the artisan's holyday, he and his
family will want seats, they will want creature coca-
forts, apd, mental occupation. These may be provided
in the Crystal Palace, which,
on the Sunday, may be
divested as much as possible of the character of a
bazaar, and made
e]thibition of the works of nature,
as well es these choieer wet ks of art that, rise in their
degree towards a 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 ifit be allowable and proper -for the
artisan to take his family on 'e Sunday a few miles into
the country,- his only pleasure ground on' Sunday, his
only holiday; and by railway, his only means of locomo-
tion so far—then it is necessary there should be shelter,
refreshment,‘"tand occupation at the end of the journey;
and these objects will be provided ,quite as well 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 workingLondouer's Condition and circumstances we
are not, disposed to grudge him either his Sunday's
excursion, or any reasonable amount of bodily re-
freshmenaCted mental recreation, which can be combined
with it. s

think that in sa doing, the majority have.o exercised--a-
wise Nseretion. There is every reason to believe that
the Crystal Palette Exhibition, with its winter garden of
eighteen 'acres end its park of 200 acres, will fulfil the
sittguine expectations-of- its projectors; - and if the
gigantic 'imdertakidg should prove sttheessful, the line

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Senate met on Monday, Prince JEROME 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
1848. 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.
ROIIIIBR, 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, Guadeloupe, 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, bad been pre-
sented by Baron DE LACROSSE,- the secretary, some
reposts on petitions were heard, and the sitting ter-
minated.

The Legislative Body also held a public sitting at
one o'clock, M. BILLAULT in the chair. The Pre-
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 tha 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 of the Princesses.),This
new wording was referred to the Committee already
appointed on the Bill. M. Gomit presented the re-
port on the budget -of receipts for 1853. 'There were
also presented three other 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 MUSCAT ; 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
btited that the Government had 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 9ontains u 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 import
tent 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 PRrigcs 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 Academy of Sciences on Monday proceeded
to the election of a corresponding member of the
section of geography and navigation, in the place
of M. DE KEUSENSTEEN, deceased. Sir JAMES
CLARK Ross, of London; was elected by a large
majority. •
The Sack expresses great anger against the English
for keeping up the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo.
Tnore is some reason, perhaps, in what the Slide 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 be considered in the light of a
national anniversary celebrated with the view of offend-
ing the susceptibility of the French people. The Siicle
_ .

I.‘ 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 honourable
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 few years which he has to
live, continue to fete 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."
