'translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Ilckford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contr'butions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal rear. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect toy 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 actodalous 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 Sperms-
torrhxa and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
accuSately 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
he subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate

SHREWSBURY MUNICIPAL ELECTION.—The late
municipal election for the borough of Shrewsbury, show
a great decrease in the power of the Liberal party; all
the wards, with one exception, were contested by them,
and though the result was not in the aggregate favour-
able numerically. as we hope it will be next year, still
in the Welsh Ward, which was specially selected by
the celebrated Mr. Frail and the Tory party to try
their strength, the Liberals were eminently successful—
Mr. Walton, the Liberal candidate, heading the poll,
after a most spirited contest, and despite of extensive
bribery on the part of the Tories. The success of the
Liberal party is in a great degree owing to the inde-
fatigable and judicious exertions of Mr. John Owen,
who has ou many Y....me. occasions- a-- Liberal

LONDOTi AND NORTH-WESTERN AND GREAT WEST-
SRN —The Liverpool committee has had a second in-
terview with each of the boards, and is now finally in-
structed as to tea views of each. The London and
North-Western is, at the eleventh hour, prepared to
recognize had treat with the broad gauge so far north
as Wolverhampton, but no farther; it is willing that the
Court of Chancery should decide on the validity of the
Great Western agreements with the Shrewsburys, but
prefers that Parliament should determine the necessity
of a second route to the Mersey. The Great Western,
on the other band, is desirous that equal rates should at
once be established at all places where the companies
compete, its sole condition being that existing agree-
ments with the two Shrewsburys are recognized. At
the same time, it is perfectly willing that the London
and North-Western should possess and exercise the
most ample running powers to Birkenhead, either on
the existing or future additional gauge.—Railway Times
SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. B.—The United States mail
steam-ship Franklin, Captain Wooten, from New York,
en route for Havre, arrived off Cowes this afternoon,
bringing specie to the amount of 340,000 dollars
(100,000 of which were for England and the remainder
for France), and a general cargo consisting of 230 bales
of cotton, 540 cases of india-rubber shoes, and 80
packages of sundries. The Franklin left New York on
the 23d ultimo, consequently her news has been antici-
pated. The long time occupied by the Franklin in ac-
complishing the voyage was on account of her having
broken her main shaft when about 1,700 miles from
home. She will come from Cowes to-morrow for the
purpose of being repaired at this port. The Peninsular
and Oriental Company's steam-ship Tagus, Captain
Russell, with the Peninsular mails, left this afternoon,
taking out a fall general cargo, fifty passengers, and
specie to the amount of 5,0001. The Royal Mail Com-
pany s steam-ship Tay, Captain Moss, with the Brazilian
mails, will leave to-morrow.
CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD EMIGRANTS.

—Monday morning, Mr. Mark Marks, a bullion agent,
residing in Liverpool, and who had for several years
been looked upon as a highly respectable tradesman,
was brought before the police court, together with an
emigration agent named Henry Fairlawn. charged with
a conspiracy to defraud a person from Leicestershire,
named Robert Gardner, who was on his way to New
York, of between 901. and 1001. It appeared that the
prisoners had given the prosecutor a draught on a New
York banker, for 1,025 dols., in exchange for the sum
of 3051., and had succeeded in passing off the draught
in consequence of the prosecutor's ignorance of American
currency. Mr. Mansfield, the stipendiary magistrate,
said there was a clear case for a jury ; and the prisoners
were fully committed to take their trials at the assizes.
SHOCKING BRITALITT.—A boatman, named Wm.
Abbott, was charged before the magistrates at Man-
chester, yesterday, with causing the death of an old
man, named William Walmsley, by kicking him. On
Tuesday night last, Abbott in a state of intoxication,
had gone to sleep in a timber-yard, of which Walmsley
was the private watchman, and next morning was awoke,
cold and wet from exposure, by Walmsley. He accused
the old man of having tried to steal his watch, and
threw him down and kicked him until he had fractured
three ribs. Walmsley was carried_to the Royal Infir-
mary, where he died on Friday morning, one of the
fractured ribs having penetrated the lungs. The magis-
trates committed the prisoner to the Liverpool assizes to
take his trial for manslaughter.
FALL OF A NEW CHURCH AT SHEFFIELD.—SUII-
day last witnessed the destruction of an almost completed
new church in this town, caused by
the falling of the
tower. It was in course of erection in a part of the town
called Moorfields, in one of the new ecclesiastical dis-
tricts constituted under the late Sir R. Peel's Act, and
was styled St. Jude's Church, Moorfields.
CURIOUS CASE.—DISHONEST FOREIGN POLICEMEN.
—An officer of the Hamburg police made his appearance
the other day in Liverpool, and informed the police
authorities, that he was in search of two members of the
Hamburg force, John Charles Henry Grave and John
Peter Mayer, who, having been commissioned to appre-
hend some person for committing a robbery to a large
amount in Hamburg, compromised matters with the
thief on the understanding that they were to receive a
share of the spoil. With this they made their way to
Liverpool with the intention of emigrating to America.
The police having been informed by the Hamburg
officer of these circumstances on his arrival, made the
necessary search for the delinquents. whom they din•
covered on board a vessel bound for New York. They
were detained, and sent back on Saturday in custody of
who was accompnied by one of the local
theofficer,detectiveßßlTlSH a o rcNe I
t YANKEE CLIPPERS. —On Saturday, we
had an opportunity of seeing the Stornoway's bottom in
Mr. Green's dry dock. We never beheld a more extra-
ordinary sight. The copper was stripped off to the
extent of nearly one-third ; barnacles of an usual size
encrusted her fore and aft; and we are really astonished
that a ship in her state should have beaten that fine
American vessel the Surprise; but such has been the
fact, and we trust we shall hear of no more vapouring
boasts from our transatlantic brethren.
THE STAFFORDSHIRE MURDERS.--The two sons,
Henry and Thomas Blackburne, continue in custody on
suspicion of having some knowledge of the barbarous
murder of their aged parents, at Ash-pitts, near Staffordn
The police have obtained a chain of evidence which Trill'

There is one point connectel with the approaching
ceremonies in honour of cur great Duke which has
excited much notice, and on which it would be desir-
able that some satisfaction should ha offered to the
public. For ourselves, we will not be premature in
con lemndion, for it is not yet sufficiently clear that
the rumour which has given rise to so much painful
feeling is really founded on fact. It has been stated,
then, thst csrtain flags and banners—the spoils and
trophies of British velour on many a well-fought field
—are either to be removed from their place in Chelsea
Hospital, or, at least, are not to be used as part of the
melancholy pigeaut, as it was originally intended
they should. Why ?—for fear of "giving offence to
foreigners I" In other words, we are afraid of putting
foreign nations in mind of the great deeds of our
fathers, lest we, their descendants, should incur their
displeasure. Now, if this be se, we can but say that
a step more humiliating to the legitimate pride of our
own country men—a more unnecessary and un-
English display of timidity—could scarcely have
been devised. And what a moment would be
chosen for what an act One might almost ex-
pect to see the guant form of the old warrior rise
once more from his bed of misnamed State, and
reject the upholstery honours which had been pre-
pared for him by his degenerate countrymen. If the
funeral pomp of se great a warrior as Arthur Wel-
lesley is not to be graced by the spoils and trophies
of his country's foes, what should be the decorations
of the pageant ? So many ells of black cotton velvet
at ss. 6d. per yard; so many gross of lackered nails
at Is. 6d. the gross; so many Dutch cherubim, and
so many memento moris, conceived in the purest un-
dertaker's taste ? The flags of Chelsea Hospital,
riddled and torn as they have been by the volleying
death-shot, are surely more appropriate—ornaments
we will not say, but—accompaniments of a soldier's
funeral rites. Had it been possible to take the Duke's
own wishes upon the subject, we may well imagine
the few stern contemptuous words that would have
fallen from his lips at the mere idea that Englishmen
need shrink from the face of man, or square their
actions in all humility to suit the susceptibilities of
of other nations. We need not interrogate the whole
spirit and tenor of the old man's career, for it is but
necessary to recur to his own practice in an analogous
case. On the anniversary of that great day which
gave peace to Europe, and liberated the nations of
the world from the most sanguinary despotism
which had ever oppressed mankind since modern
history began, the Duke of Wellington, year after
year, for well nigh 40 years, summoned around him
his old companions in arms to partake his princely
hospitality, and to commemorate their achievements
on the fatal day. No one who knows anything of
the simplicity of his character, of the utter absence
of " brag" and fanfaronnade which was one of his
most distinguishing peculiarities, would suppose for a
moment that anything like an intention of wounding
the pride of a foreign nation could ever find place in
his mind. The officers whom it was his delight to call
around him on that great anniversary had fought and
bled under his command. It was natural and graceful
that such a commemoration of their common danger
and common victory should keep alive in their hearts
the memory of former days, when the safety of their
country and the liberation of Europe depended mainly
upon their manly courage. The life of the gallant
old soldier was prolonged far beyond the term that
might have been expected from the life of toil and
exposure he had led for twenty years of his career,
but we have never heard that it occurred to him to
hint to his officers that, "perhaps they bad dined
together often enough ; it would, on the whole,
be advisable, if, about the middle of each successive
June, every English officer should eat his chop at
home, for fear of giving offence to foreigners !'"
We need scarcely say that nothing could be further
from our ideas than to recommend any silly display
of military trophies at all times and on all occasions.
The battles of Marlborough and Wellington, and of
many others who might be named, were fought and
well fought, and there's an end of them, unless es e
should be driven to defend our homes and all that is
most sacred to us from profanation. The traditions
of our military glory may then once again be repeated
from mouth to mouth. But, surely, on an occasion
like the present, when we are about to commit to the
tomb the cold remains of one of the five warriors of
the world, we may be permitted to remember that the
British soldier has occasionally slept on the battle
deft' irons nail nriren his country's foes. It
is not much we ask. When another such soldier
dies we will begin to talk about our flags again—
meanwhile let them hang where they are, unless,
indeed, the piety of his countrymen could suggest
some other method in which they could be
employed more honourably for the Duke's
memory. 'What have we to do with foreigners
or their susceptibilities ? Or, what other nation
in Europe ever put such a point in issue when they
take a fancy to a military display ? Surely our
French neighbours did not smuggle the ashes of the
real Napoleon into the Invalides without a few sug-
gestions of his military achievements ! Surely they
have shown themselves sufficiently regardless of the
feelings of Austria and Prussia! What is the mean-
ing of all those words which are engraved as deeply
as the sculptor's chisel would reach on both sides of
the Arch of Triumph at the end of the Elysian-.
fields? Europe and posterity are to be reminded to
the end of time that the French armies under Napo-
leon Bonaparte trampled out the nationality of Ger-
many, occupied Berlin and Vienna, expelled the Aus-
trians from the Italian Peninsula, and humiliated
Russia on more than one occasion. The ridiculous
memorial of a coup manqué stands yet near Boulogne
over against our very coast. Another similar trophy
to commemmorate the advance of the French army
against Russia—subsequently, indeed, visi by a Rus-
sian General—may be seen at Coblentz. Such is the
practice of our French neighbours in matters of
this kind—we are not aware that the "just sus- I
ceptibilities" of foreign nations ever give them an
uneasy thought. Nay, at the moment we write, the
head of the perfect or plu-perfect French Republic is
about to assume a title for the express purpose of
reminding the world that his relative carried fire and
sword into every European country save one. But
a few years ago, the choicest and bravest sons of
Austria, Prussia, Russia, Italy, Spain, were mas-
sacred by thousands—almost by millions; these are
recollections which are to be kept alive—by titles—
and by a recurrence to the old nomenclature. We
on the other hand, who ask no better than to live at
peace with all the world, must run away with our
flags to the coal cellar for that day only, because we
are about to bury the man who in days of great peril
to humanity saved the world from the worst extre-
mities of military despotism. If this is to be so, why
have the soldiers at the funeral? Surely a British
soldier is calculated to wound the " just susceptibi-
ties." Let us rather intrust the funeral arrangements
to the Peace Society, and, in place of the plumed hat
and unstained sword, lee the Duke's hearse be
crowned with the buttonless coat and broad-brimmed
hat which distinguish the most unwarlike of our reli-
gious sects. We will not believe in this rumour,
but it would be a satisfaction to the public to be
favoured with an authoritative contradiction from
some proper quarter.

Fifty-eight more persons have renounced Popery in
St. Paul's, Bermondsey, since the last published account,
viz., 15th September last. Several of these last converts
are well-educated persons; amongst them were two ladies
—one had been a pervert to Popery. It may be added
that great numbers more are meditating their withdrawal
from the Popish communion.—Record.

MALTA, Nor. 2.

The Retribution steam-frigate arrived here 'yesterday.
The schooner Liberator, Angel master, from Catania,
with sulphur, hemp-seed, &0,, put into port yesterday,
on her voyage to Liverpool, having taken fire a few
hours after leaving Catania. She ran to the top of the
harbour, where, assistance having been rendered, the fire
was extinguished, and bat little damage was received.
Before bearing up for Malta, tne Captain, fearful the
flames would break out, was fully prepared to abandon
her, having his long boat out and filled with everything
necessary.

A man-of-war, distant 25 miles east of the island, is
this moment telegraphed.
I have just received a letter, the translation of which
I submit to your judgment. The respectability of the
author has my guarantee. The letter is not dated :
" There was lately executed at Sinigaglia a sentence
of death by musketry against 24 persons at a time. It
is true that during the late revolution acts of cruelty
were perpetrated both at Sinigaglia and at Ancona, but
(besides that the authors have escaped) is a slaughter
now executed judicially, in cold blood, atter 42 months
of agony and seclusion—is it more moral or more hu-
mane than a political assassination? Moreover, with
the secret, inquisitorial, and arbitrary form of the Pon-
tifical tribunals, they might, if they chose, discern truth
from error in the same manner as they declare that all
of those who have died on the scaffold were guilty.
" But the finishing stroke to this act of barbarity con-
sists in having included the name of the excellent Colonel
Simoncelli in the dread list, and that in spite of the uni-
versal cry that he had deserved well of his country, as be
had prevented the perpetration of many excesses. His
life was begged, not as a matter of favour, but as ono of
justice, by the Pope's brothers, the municipal body—by
all, in fine—even those most opposed to Republicanism.
" A feeling of terror now prevails at Ancona and the
neighbouring cities lest other blood may have boon shed
to appease the anger of the law.
"Such is the reign of Pius, compared with that of
Gregory. So he conquers!"
