GERMAN Y.

An electric dispatch from Berlin, dated April 19,
say :—" The opening of the Congress of the Zolverein
took place to•day. M. DE MANTEUFFEL, President
of the Council of Ministers, pronounced the opening
discourse, in which he expressed a regret that cir-
cumstances had not permittefi Government to convoke
the Congress sooner. At the same time be hoped
that their deliberations would have for result the re-
newal of the Zolverein, and that it would be extended
to other States, by means of treaties having for effect
to draw closer the existing union, by creating new
interests, destined to develope material prosperity.
Colonel M.EIXNER, Bavarian plenipotentiary, replied
to the discourse of the Minister; he .expreFsed a wish
that Austria should be admitted to participate in the
deliberations of the Congress, through the organ of a
plenipotentiary ; but he indicated no precise period for
that admission."
The criminal prosecution against the mother and
sisters of KOSSUTH has been stopped. They have re-
ceived authority to proceed to America.
Count Buor. has entered on the duties of his office.
It is believed that an organic law will shortly be pro-
mulgated, dispensing for the future with the office of
President of the Council.
The re-establishment of diplomatic relations be-
tweenleVf fact.urt em b uTrhe respective ambassa-

The reports of the projected marriage between the
Emperor of AUSTRIA. and the Princess SIDOMA of
Saxony continue to gain ground. It is asserted that
the espousal will take place during the approaching
journey of the EMPEROR to Prague. The EMPEROR
of Saxony
will accompany the Royal family on their
return to Dresden.

BELGIUM.
The works for the fortifications ordered by the
Belgian Government at la Fete de Flardres, near
Antwerp, were to have commenced on Friday ; but
the men, dissatisfied with the wages offered them, re-
fused to labour. Having obtained possession of the
sheds erected for them, they declared they
would not give them up. On Saturday two
companies of Light Infantry were ordered
out. They loaded their arms in presence of
the men, and then drove them from the sheds. About
300 of the men subsequently proceeded to Antwerp,
where they formed themselves into a procession, and
paraded the streets singing " Malbrouck." At length
they peaceably dispersed.

was pronounced quite dead. The prisoner, it apps ared,
had knotted rightly a blank silk handkerchief, andtbed
contrived to fa;t•-n it to the only part of the cell which
talmitted of such an act. She had placed this knotted
handkerchief round her neck, and then deliberately
strangled herself. To eff,ct her purpose she was obl'ged
to adopt a kneeling potion. The doctor, on seeing the

years. In 1849, of meal and flour the quantity was
338,650 cwt. ; in 187,0, 347,233 cwt. ; and in 1851,
466,451 cwt. In corn and grain in the period there was a
decrease. In 1849, of corn laud grain there were 616,157

ON TRUE 8z FALSE SPERMATORRTICEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of tae
Generative. Sptem, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from
the German of Dr. PICKFORD, of the University of Heidelberg.
—" Dr. Fickior 1 is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, lie 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 e Itor 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 profe Fa to
cur,: a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object
than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spa rum-
tonlicea and the various forms of disewe 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 not Ice of
the subject specially treated of by Dr. Plektbrd ; but the moderate
price at which the brochu, e' is sold, places it within the rea,:th of
every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April

about the simieple cure of diseases, and a passion for operation!; and

given the history of a great many case, successfully treated, al ; bad
as any which Mr. Spite adduced, and on which he had open clod.
Such ,re cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, lOr a
period of twelve ye irs, the treatment by dilitation, and was fit tally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
in duratiol, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a morn ag-
gravated character than any detailed by :dr Syme, and yeti the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently SUCCCS3 ful."

The REVALENTA ARAI3ICA FOOD is the only natural, plea-

cure) for all nervous, stomachic, intestinal, liver, and bilious com-

at, twants, depression; irr.tability, wasting away,fits, spasms, cramps,
Inflammation and ulceration of the stomach; angina pectoris, fevers,
scary,, paralysis, &c. The best food for infants and invalids generelly,
as it never turns acid on the weakest stomach, nor interferes with a
'good liberal d et, but imparts a healthy relish for luech and dinner,
and restores the faculty of digestion and nervous and muscular energy
to the most enfeebled. The only remedy whit.,,has obtained 50,000

which had resisted all other modes of treatment, and been aban-

MARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—FRIDAY-
Daring the present week the arrivals of Eng:ligu
Wheat up to our market, coastwise, have been confined
to 3,110 quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kent, all ill
fair average condition. Fresh up to-day, the receipts
by land carriage were limited, whilst the show of &3W'
pies of both red and white was small. Although the de-
mand was not so firm as on Monday, that day's Prices
were supported. The amount of business doing for for-
ward delivery was far from extensive. From Wooed.
8,540 quarters of Wheat have reached us. selected
qualities moved off steadily at full quotations. In low
and middling kinds, very few transactions were supp orted.
Wheat and Indian Corn afloat were rather dull in sale.
Very little English Barley was brought forward, snd.,
the supply of English was but moderate. The &wen"
was tolerably steady, at late rates. We had a very slow
sale for Malt, but no decline took place in prices. Al-
though the supply of Oats was but moderate, the trade
ruled dull, at the late decline. Beans and Peas were
firm; but Flour and Indian Corn commanded very little
attention.
