S, N TRUE Sr FALSE SPERMA.TORRHCEA ;
with the View to the Correction pf wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treetmeut.and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, Or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from
the German of Dr. FICKFORD, '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, he 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', _lB5l.
—" 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 1111 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 5, .1852.
—" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary
chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for ally 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

OBSERVATIONS ON THE TREATMENT OF SPERMATORR-

BY F. B. COURTENAY,
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
geons has been mar,:ed with all kinds of violence, an indifference
about the simple cure of diseases, and a passion for operations and
all the excesses and horrors of surgery."—John Bell's Surgical
Observations.'-" In proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) 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 dllitation, and:was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of ,a snore ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently .successful."

JUVENILE CLOTHING.
Nature has endowed young plants with extraordinary verdure,
young birds with the most pleasing plumage. E. MOSES and SON,
the inventors of ornament, style, fashion, and variety in dresses for
young people, have taken the hint from nature, and have rendered
their
juvenile clothing for the summer season and the ensuing vaca-
more than ever pleasing, varied, and useful ; it has received
tion
the entire attention of a class of artistes who have devoted their ta-
lents and experience to its novel designs; the materials exhibit the
productions of the whole world—selected with the greatest care and m

fit; the charges are, as usual, the most economical.

EMIGRATION.— The emigrant's first step towards an economical

quired, but no superfluous or useless goods; from long experi-
ence, from more extensive business than any house in the world,

from the outfitting branch, but for the accommodation of their daily

oat 5 yesterday morning 'for
trip
to her- departure for the.
-aPee4 and mental
preparatory
Calcutta: The- wind
was* light, from notth7east, and
Weather rather thick. The
steamer under steam only wee
abreast of the breakwater
.at -6.9- sa:at., and "14,1)i-east of the Eddystone at 7.19 A.M. ;
and hiri engines and machinery worked with very little”
noise and caused scarcely any
nVtion in the ship. Cap-
tain Lowe
.of the
the pseigairrrenttrrurVaPtltiii Rnisa37, ofthe steam
Reserve; and Master Commander Allen were on board
and witnessed several experi e,,,.
131—‘8 made with the ship's
pumps under the direction of the . company's superin-
tendent, Captain Ford. A sea pi.„
ti of 4 inches diameter
was` opened, and a volume of water was admitted, when
the" bilge pump was set on and at one-third speed the
water was lowered against the leak • full speed was then
ship applied, and in a few minutes the About
--; was cleared.
two feet of. water was then
admitted and, the auxi-
liary pump being connected with the donkey engine, the
vessel was again quickly cleared. These experiments gave
full satisfaction to the naval °facets natned, as well as to Mr.l
Stewart, the Government engineer ; Mr. Laming, the com- 1
pany's agent; Mr. Mare, the builder of the fine shiP t and'
Alr. Sherrif, from the firm of Messrs.
Maudslay, the manu-
facturers of the engines. She is provided with four pumps,
and, by their use and the Connezion of the boiler feeder
with: he bilge water; it is e,omputed that there is sufficient
power to lower water against a leak from nine inches to a foot
in diameter.
Mr. Stewart, engineer of her Majesty's dockyard, Devon-
port, has given a certificate, to the effect that, after a close
inspection of the machinery of the Queen of the South, both
in dock and in work at sea, he finds it in erfect condition.
M
r. Stewart could not discover any cause forPthe recent accu-
mulation of water in the ship's hold ; he thinks it was occa-
sioned by the ordinary waste from the injection when the en-
gines were stopped, and from the lubrication of the bear-
ings.' The roses of 'the engine's bilge
Puna s being ineffi-
cient, did not prevent their choking with. P
coatclast and ashes,
and this rendered them useless; hence the accumulation.
Mr. Ste Wart's certificate shows that these defects have been
made good, and that the ship is now ;
-la excellent working
condition.
The passengers of the Queen of the South have presented
an address to Captain Hyde on the occasion of their second
departure, in which they express their high sense of the
judicious manner in which he acted under the late trying
circumstances, and their appreciation of his mild and gentle-
manly as well as firm bearing in the' managy
ement of the
vessel, and towards all- those on board, severall and indi-
vidnally.
The Queen of the South, with twelVe additionalmail-bags:
started at 4 o'clock ‘yesterday afternoon for her , destination.
A short time previous to her departure, 'by the accidental
opening of some iron casing, it was discovered that a large
quantity of water was-"constantly thrown into the hull of
the ship when in work--by the lubricating apparatus. This
portion of the machinery is provided with a relief valve for
letting off the superfluous water not
required for lubricating,
and this surplus, it appears, was considerably mom than was
estimated by the engineers, in consequence of the power of
the donkey-engine. Instead of running into the hold of the
ship the. surplus should have fed the boilers, which it will
now do. The full examination by the boilers which
the satis-
factory inspection by the engineers, the preparatory trip
yesterday morning, and-the accidental discovery of the waste
from the lubricating apparatus, have altogether proved the
means of dispatching the Queen of the South under the
most favourable auspices.

and 205 packages sundries.
The Magdalena made the voyage out to St. Thomas in 15
days; the run home has occupied about 1514 days, but it is
said would have been accomplished in 13 days, but for
heavy north-east winds which prevailed for two-thirds of the
time.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In my intelligence from the North received yester-
day, with respect to the Second Triennial Stakes, Azeth,
who is there reported a starter, is dead amiss and will not
run; therefore, I imagine, Presto will beat the Miss Whip
colt, unless they choose to allow the Latter to walk over.

The fields for to-morrow's stakes are as follow :

The dates brought by this steamer from California, Val-
paraiso, and the other Pacific and Central American ports, as
well as from Jamaica and Havannah, have been anticipated
by the news yid New York, received on Wednesday evening
last by the steam ships Humboldt and Great Britain. To
the unenviable notoriety, therefore, of this the direct route
from the Pacific being forestalled five days (as is usually the
case), by the indirect route of the American steam ships
from Chagres to New York and thence to Liverpool, must
be added the fact that the victory has been gained, so far as
relates to the Atlantic voyage, by a screw steamer.
The dates from Central America are to the 14th May. The
country at that time was perfectly tranquil. Honduras had
just completed its election of President tor the ensuing four
years, and Senor Trinidad Cabanas had been duly installed
in that office. Efforts were being made to establish a
federal Government, but the States of Salvador
and Nicaragua do not sincerely favour the project;
and it may, therefore, be presumed that this new
attempt, like all others preceding it, will end in dis-
appointment. In Guatemala the crop of cochineal had al-
most entirely failed from atmospheric causes, and instead of
averaging 15,000 to 16,000 serons, will this year scarcely ex-
ceed 3,000. Mr. Chatfield, her Majesty's late Chargé d'Af-
faires in Central America, and who has resided in the coun-
try nineteen years, left Guatemala on the 4th of May, and
has returned home in this packet, owing to the abolition of
his office, and the substitution in its stead of a Consulate-
General. The Governor, and a large number of the principal
persons in the country, irrespective of party, manifested a
feeling of regret on the occasion of his departure.
This packet brings dates from Jamaica to the 29th ult. in-
clusive. The popular question of retrenchment was once
again being agitated, and the public seemed extremely
desirous to reduce the very expensive and heavy
establishment of the country. The inordinate sala-
ries paid to the public officials could not be any longer
supported, and even if the British Government should
afford the colonies protection, still it would be highly
necessary to curtail the enormous salaries paid to
the public officers, which in round figures added to-
gether amount to no less than 350,0001. a year. The small-
pox was still raging in the island, but vaccination had been
much resorted to, and consequently the disease had been
checked in many parishes. In Kingston the disease was
still present, though its ravages were not great, being met
by medical attendance and vaccination. Several deaths,
however, had resulted from the disease, in consequence of
disobedience to the instructions of the medical gentlemen of
the city. His Excellency the Governor had issued an Order
in Council prohibiting variolous inoculation, the indiscrimi-
nate practice of which was calculated to spread the disease,
while every encouragement was given to the practice of
vaccination. The Governor's proclamation in regard to the
smallpox was read in all the churches and chapels of the
island, and the several pastors took occasion to instruct their
congregations as to the utility of vaccination. The want of
labour was still being urged, but great opposition was offered
to the introduction of North American immigrants at the
expense of the colony. The weather was not quite so hot as
a fortnight before, and a little rain had fallen. The " May
seasons" were extremely late this year.
_ Oar accounts from British Guiana are to the 27th ult.

The only political incident of importance had been the
passing of a Bill altering the title of the Legislature and the
constitution of the Legislative Assembly. The ordinance
increases the number of elective members of the Court of
Policy from live to six, regulating also the time of service,
about wh ch at present there is a difference of opinion, by
providing that the senior member shall go out on the second
30th of June next after his election. The College of Elec-
tors is to consist of 11 members, and the Financial As-
sembly of 10, in both cases to serve for a term of three
years. The Bill creates eight electoral districts, giving a
local interest to the Financials and to the Electoral
College, and at the same time throwing upon the dis-
tricts a local responsibility. No alteration is made
either in the electoral qualification established by Ordi-
nance 15, of 1849, or in the mode of registration. The
elective qualification is, however, entirely altered, and
the word "colonial," about which opinions have been
so long conflicting, is now made to mean the individual, who,
from immovable property, freehold or leasehold, for 21 years
and upwards, shall have an income of 1,410 dolls. per an-
num, or be in the possession of 40 acres of land and upwards
in actual cultivation. The oath of the members is now to be
assimilated to that administered to Members of the Commons
House of Parliament.

Another arrival of immigrants had taken place from Cal-
cutta in the ship Dudbrook, and some satisfaction was ex-
pressed that a portion of them had been allotted by the Go-
vernment to an experiment in the culture of rice. The wea-
ther had been most favourable to the planters, but the yellow
fever still prevailed at Georgetown, the average number of
deaths up to the 27th ult. being nine per diem. It was, how-
ever, principally confined to the lower order of Portuguese
settlers. Plantation Vigilance, a coffee and plaintain estate
on the east coast, about ten miles from Georgetown, had been
sold by the Administrator-General for 9,150 dolls.
The St. Vincent papers state that the weather had under-
gone a most happy change, and the rainy season was con-
sidered as having fairly taken the place of one of the severest
droughts experienced in the island for many years. The ap-
pearance of the island was completely altered by the heavy
rains which had set in. Under the influence of the prolonged
dry season the canes were nearly all destroyed.
In St. Lucia also abundance of rain had fallen, and the
aspect of the island had assumed an encouraging appear-
ance; everything in the fields looked green where lately
all had been reduced to stubble by the lengthened drought.
Her Majesty's ship Alarm was at anchor at St. Lucia.
The small village of Piail, in the fourth district, was almost
entirely destroyed by fire on the 3d of May. A fire also
Occurred on the 9th of the same month on the Malgretout
estate, which, was supposed' to be the work of incendiaries.
The Barbadoes papers contain no news of importance.
The agricultural prospects were unchanged, and the present
crop was leaving the island with all reasonable dispatch.
The Barbadoes Mercury (started in 1733) had ceased to
exist.

Free Handicap—Knight of the Garter, View Halloo,
Child of the Mist, the Paritan, Agnes Wickfield, and one 01
Dawson's. I can discover nothing that stands a chance 01
beating KNIGHT OF THE GARTER.
Third Triennial Stakes—Evadne, Cleveland, and Pelopidas,
Of course EYADNE and PELOPIDAS will figure first and second,
Produce Stakes—Lord Fauconberg, colt by Touchstone out
of ,Garland.

From Martinique and Guadeloupe we have nothing of
importance. Lieutenant-Governor Daly, of Tobago, was at
Martinique on a tour for the recovery of his health. The
drought was still severely felt in the French West India
islands.
The Dominica papers inform us of a misunderstanding be-
tween Major Blackwell, the Lieutenant-Governor, and the
Honse of Assembly, arising out of an appointment by his
Excellency of a yonth of HI years of age as third officer of
the revenue. The/dou/e having roqua..6..i the CovoLuor to take:,
the Attorney-General's opinion as to the validity of the secu-
rity to be given by one who is of non-age, his Excellency con-
strued it into a personal insult, and dissolved the House.
The new elections resulted in the return of a majority of the
old Members, and it was expected that the Governor would
either have to give way to the Legislature, or resign.
In Antigua slight showers had fallen in.some divisions
of the island, but generally the want of moisture was se-
verely felt. In the House of Assembly a Committee had
presented a report upon the necessity of effecting reductions
upon Salaries paid to public officials in consequence of the
distressed state of the island. The proposed reductions to be
from 2 to 30 per cent.
The St. Kitt's papers contain a letter from the Rev. Mr.
Rock, of Anguilla, wherein a most heartrending picture is
drawn of the wretched condition to which the prevailing
drought had reduced all classes :of the island. They are
'represented as literally starving.
We have Trinidad journals and correspondence to the 27th
ultimo. His Excellency Lord Harris and the greater part
of the colonial notabilities had testified their respect to the
character of the late Roman Catholic Archbishop by attend-
ing (unofficially) his funeral obsequies. Nearly 10,000
persons fpllowed in procession. The Board of Council was to
meet on the Ist of June, when the third reading of the ordi-
nance fot •prohibiting the entry of future solicitors who
had, not passed in Great Britain, would be again sub-
initted. A few successive weeks of dry weather had been
followed by' several days and nights of incessant rain. Ad-
vantage had in most instances been taken to expedite the
gatherusg•and shipment of the crop, which is about 13,000
hogsheadsin excess of that of last year. The reduced prices
which had been obtained this year, say 2i dolls. to 234 dolls.
against 314 dolls. to 3 dolls. last year, tarn the table mosf
seriously against the planters. The showery weather pre-
vailing was satisfactory as regards the next crop. The
shipments of sugar to the latest date amounted to 16,175
hogsheads, 2,066 tierces, 3,501 barrels, against 14,823 hogs-
heads, 1,693 tierces, and 3,892 barrels in 1851.
From Porto Rico we learn that the new Captain-General,
Don F. Norzagary, had arrived from Madrid, and the new
Intendente, Don Paslor Arguelles, was expected by the next
mail steamer. Sugars were in active demand, and orders
had been received from the United States, for first quality,
at 4 dolls. per cwt. ; second, 23/4 dolls. to 3Vz dolls. ; and
third, 21 dolls. to 3 dolls. Owing to the hesvy rains a
scarcity of sugar was experienced, and the crops both of
sugar and tobacco will fall much below those of last year.
Molasses were in fair demand at 11c. to 12c. per gallon.
The deficiency in sugar will amount to about 30 per cent.
St. Thomas was healthy when the Magdalena sailed

The late heavy rains in the islands of Cuba and Porto
Rico will prove most detrimental to the crops of sugar, inas.
much as the labourers will not be able to collect the canes
for crushing, and a great portion will consequently rot on
the ground.
Our Havannah letters of the 22d ult. contain the fol-
lowing:—
" Prices of sugar have advanced still more, as a good de-
mand has continued, particularly for the United States,

into a document intended as as a species of concordat between
the Church and the State, or rather between the clergy and
--- the laity. Under present circumstances, however, the least
attempt to use this edged tool to the extension of clerical
power will be inevitably fatal to the hand that grasps it. No
school can prosper without the harmonious co-operation of
all the parties concerned.' If the parents of the children, or
the 'influential laity of the district, are dissatisfied with.
the . management, or should they conceive them-
selves insulted by an unnecessary appeal to the diocesan,
they will leave the clergyman alone to enjoy a barren
triumph in an empty schoolroom. Whether it be in a
town or a, rural parish, it is found that the gentry, the
farmers, the tradesmen, and the parents of the children,
must be positively interested in the school, if it is to
answer. A, successful appeal to the diocesan coming down
on the parish with the force of a ensure, would only drag
thd unfortunate Bishop into the scrape, and make the
whole Church system uniformly odious in the eyes of
the defeated laity. In fact, no Bishop who is a man of sense
will desire to enlarge the sphere of his ictertercnc,, in the in-
ternal affairs of the live or six hundred parishes included in
his dioce,ss. No Bishop would covet the opportunity of
disgusting every layin.iu in a parish, and, by sympathy,
in the whole of his diocess. A clergyman 'whose mi-
nistry should be fertile i.i such appeals corn be regarded as

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday
There is a long article in the Constitutionnet •
n the
renewal by the Legislative Body of the tobacco
°Yields-
poly. The Constitutionnet advocates the principrnieno-
monopoly, as yielding a large revenue to the Govern-
ment, ment, and being less objectionable than the substitution
of the duty which it would be necessary to impose if
the trade in tobacco were to be thrown open. The mo-
nopolytothesitnatteobBBacuacoi,nisoany:

1824 it was only 43
millions. If the monopoly were to be suppressed, and a
duty laid on to replace the sum which it yields to the
revenue, it must amount to sf. per kilogramme, and
everybody must admit that this would be holding out e,
premium for contraband dealing.
A commission has been nominated for the organiza-
tion of a grand fete for the 15th August. This fate,
B9ys the Pays, is to be on quite a new plan, and on
such a grand scale as to equal the magnificent public ra-
j oicings of the Empire.
The Independance of Brussels having published in its
Paris correspondence some incorrect statements relative
to the efforts made by the Baronne DEDIVANT, better
known by her assumed name of GEORGE SAND, to obtain
the clemency of the PRESIDENT of the Republic in
favour of certain condemned political offenders of the
party of the Mountain, she has addressed a letter to the
l'resse contradicting the erroneous statements of the
Belgian journal. We extract the following passage:—
" I cannot comprehend why it should be supposed that I
had relations with the Elys6e prior to the political events of
which my friends have been victims. I owe it, however, to
truth to say that my relations with Prince Louis Napoleon
date from the time of his captivity, and were revived only
after the 15th January, 1852. I have riot, unfortunately,
obtained all that I asked in favour of afflicted families de-
prived of their supporters; but I do not accuse the President
of the Republic, whose consolatory promises give me still
ground for hope."
The Municipal Council of Saint Etienne have voted
