Captain .ON,
"Captain Mackinr on',4 sketches of America are perhaps the best
that have appeared since thu work of Captain Marryat, and they are
far more candid and impartial. The volumes are crowded with
valuable and imprrtant statements. To recommend the work to
public attention is perfectly unnecessary. It must and will find its
way rapidly into wide and general circulation, such is its justice,
candour, and accuracy of intormation."—Observer.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRTICEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Ilypochrondriasis. Translated from
the German of Dr. PICKFORD, of the University of Heidelberg.—" Dr. Pickfor I 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, it 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-
torrhoca 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
price at which the brochu' e' is sold, places it within the reach of
every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April

extract from a letter dated the 191 h inst., and addressed
by Mr. Roebuck to Mr. William Fisher, of Sheffield,
completely sets at rest all doubts respecting his present

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. lam quite able to undergo

THE CRYSTAL PALACE
(From the Times )
In is twelvemonth, we are assured, the brilliant shell
of the Great Exhibition will have 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 he only a few feet below the crest of a hill,
which cannot be less then 300 feet above high water
mirk, 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
of the vast building, 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 miles off it
will be a conspicuous object in the distant horison; it
will be visible from its present site, and will be the first
sign of this metropolis that meets the eyes
.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,
hut the slopes of Norwood and the quiet vale of
Dulwich, the heights of Syderthano and even the re-
cesses of Bromley and Chislehurst have long been
invaded by this pushing metropolis, and from 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, Sydenharn, and other
places, with as mach refreshment to body and mind as
the Minister who spends his Sunday at Richmond, or
the millionaire who escapes from consols or calico to
groves and lakes of his own making in Hefts or Wilts.
There 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, indeed, the currents of trade should one day leave
:heir present channel and take a new direction, when, as
Babylon, as Tyre, as Alexandria, as Palmyra,
as Venice, as even Antwerp and Ghent have seen
the great human tide recede from their streets
and their shores, London itself may possibly
read in its changed fortunes the bitter announce-
ment that its kingdom is given unto another.
The question of profit and loss we may safely leave to
the new proprietors of the Crystal Palace, and the
London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company.
Cho latter yesterday decided by a large majority in
Favour of the new undertaking. As little is it necessary
tor us to urge them to do the thing well while they aro
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 personages, who wish to nip the scheme
in the bud, 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 Detby to ask his intercession for the same
enlightened and generous object. His Lordship gave
the same answer that he has returned this session to ap-
plicants of ail 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 and convenience of the profane million as well
es the scruples of the sanctimonious few. He inclines,
however, it is said, to his favourite idea of a "compro-
mise."thatmorninganotheradeputation Should any more deputations proceed to Dow-
ning-street on the same mission as that we have men-
intencledo—f
artisans,
with
tthioanteds—omaned we
Mondry hear
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 cf 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 wetke to some watering place, to Wales, to the
Highlands, to the Rhino, or to Switzerland. Surely
there are none eo 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, we aro 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 out of doors. But it
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-
poetunity 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 arid 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 on 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, ho ought at least to season it with a bit of his
own week-days.
Bat if it he conceded, as we are sure it must, that the
London artisan does well to spend half his day of rest,
if he cad, in the country, now that Providence, which
has enlarged this metropolis beyond walking 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-
"l37 in 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 com-
forts, and 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 an exhibition of the works of nature,
as well as those choicer works 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 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 means of locomo-
tion so far—then it is necessary there should be shelter,
refreshment, and 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 working Londoner's condition and circumstances we
are not disposed 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 Palace Exhibition, with its winter garden of
eighteen acres and its park of 200 acres, will futfil the
sanguine expectations of its projectors; and if the
gigantic undertaking should prove successful, the line
of railway to which it is contiguous cannot but share
largely in its good fortune, We do not believe that
the Brighton Company, in attaching itself to the
Crystal Palace Company, is departing from the legiti-
mate object to which the attention of railway direc-
tors w
ought
as h
htstr itctely tgou-w n,
be turned. Thdeepßernidgslito mainly
as
for its returns upon a pleasure-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

the
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.
If 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,
as vouchers for the good faith with weioh the public
are invited to co-operate in the groat and popular de-
sign. The arrangement having been concluded with the
