Desirous of aiding the stupendous emigration movement to the
Australian colonies, and of assisting those who do not come within
the description of persons selected by the Emigration Commissioners,
as also of presenting to the benevolently disposed an obvious means
of helping their dependents or others to a free passage to a country
which is inviting the unemployed labour of all the world to its im-
mense and gold-teeming regions, thi- Society has adopted a plan
altogether unexceptionable in principle and truly philanthropic in
its obj_.,etfts, namely, the app Watteau of a portion of its subscribed
espitefTetthe in-creasing of 'die supply of labour in the Australian
colonies, by the transmission of a large number of emigrants, while
the other portion is invested in a richly auriferous mining property,
and the necessary machinery and labour for working il.
To carry out the former of (hese objects,
A WEEKLY PUBLIC BALLOT
will take place in London and other principal towns of the United
Kingdom, until there shall have been selected
4,000 FREE PASSAGES TO AUSTRALIA;
the Certificate for the original Share of 11. is. being exchanged, im-
mediately after the Ballot, for an Order for the passage in a first-
class vessel.
The whole of the Shares subscribed for will, from time to time,
be publicly put into the ballot-box, and the Ballot will take place
under the immediate supervision and direction of the Trustees, due
publicity being previously given o* each Ballot in the public news-
papers.
Owners of Free Passage Orders will also be at liberty to sell or
transfer them to any other person ; but the name and address of
the party to whom they may have been transferred, must be for-
warded for approval to the Company's Offices:five days prior to the
departure of the vtssel in which the intending emigrant may be de-
sirous of taking his or her passage. Two Children under twelve
years of age will be equal to one adult.
A list of Vessels about to sail will be ready for distribution pre-
vious to each Ballot.
Those who do not draw a Free Passage Order at the Ballot will
retain their original Share or Shares in the Mining property and
adventnres of the Society without further liability.
4,000 SHAREHOLDERS WILL HAVE A BONUS OF 80,0001.
DIVIDED AMONGST THEM,

in payment of their Passages in first-class Ships, to a Colony where
labour is greatly in demand, and obtains ahigh rate of remuneration.
THE HUNTER RIVER GOLD MINING Grtou
FORMING PART OF TILE SEGENHOE ESTATE,
Is situated 150 miles north of Sydney, near Maitland, New south
Wales, a mineral lease of which property, consisting of 2,000 acres,
has been secured by the Trustees of this Fund. This estate was
granted by the Crown, and has been in possession of the original
proprietors for thirty years, and is pronounced by Judge Cracroft, an
eminent geologist, to be a mass of mineral wealth, which subsequent
investigations have entirely confirmed. The lease is for twenty-one
years, with power of renewal for a similar period ; and the titles,
maps, and other documents may be inspected at the Company's
Offices.
The following passage occurs in a pamphlet on " Australia and
her Treasures," published by Effingham Wilson, the materials Of
which were supplied by Captain Westmacott, M.R.G.S. and F.G.S.,
whose intimate knowledge of the country and its resources
is universally appreciated :—" The quartz found under Mount
Royal, and the flanks that run into the Segenhoe estate
(now the property of this Society) are all of a crystallized compact
transition strata. This may he considered the commencement of the
gold country, as the detritus of these rocks forms the auriferous
alluvial deposits of the lower stratum. Immense districts lie be-
tween these ravines, entirely destitute of water, * and in the beds
and branches of all is gold deposited, which has been continuously
washed down from the mountains and rocks for centuries, and in
the overflowing distributing itself in the land and soil in all direc-
tions. It is not, however, in gold alone that the inexhaustible trea-
sures consist—rubies, garnets, and topazes, have already rewarded
the labours of the miner, and that the diamond will be added in
peat numbers to the golden garner, is expressed with confidence by
some of the most scientific persons."
This Company has also entered into a Contract for the purchase
of a Patent Invention, applicable to the reduotion of quarts and
other minerals, and the extraction therefrom of every particle of
metal contained in them, effecting a saving of at least 50 per cent.
over every other process now in use. This extraordinary discovery
will bring about a new era in the extraction of gold from quartz,
inasmuch as will render unnecessary what has hitherto been the
greatest drawback to the success of other companies, viz., an enor-
mous outlay of capital for expensive machinery, and officers and
men to work the same, as also great delay in putting it into
operation ; whereas, the apparatus now about to be introduced, does
not cost more than 250/. each, having the advantages of being small,
compact, easily transferable to its destination, and being ready for
immediate use, and each apparatus being capable of reducing and
extracting the gold from the enormous qtkintity of sixty tons of
quartz per day.
All apelications for Shares must be addressed to the Trustees at
the Offices, and must be accompanied by a remittance of One Pound
One Shilling by Post-office Order, payable to the Right Honourable
Lord Erskine, on receipt of which the necessary Shares will be
duly transmitted to the Subscribers.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMA.TORRIICEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
n relation to the Treatmeit and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from 'he German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
lime, 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 correst."—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 Sperms-
torrluea 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 brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of
every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April

and apparently Intractable Forms. To which is added, PRACTICAL
OBSERVATIONS ON THE TREATMENT OF SPERMATORR-
/REA BY CAUTERIZATION; its Inefficiency and Danger.
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 red 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 smgery."—John Bell's Surgical
Observations.—" In proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has
given the history of a great many cases successililiy 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 ye irs, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and
xix. 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 successful."
