ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRH(EA ;
With the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of tne
Generative Sy-tern, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from
the German of Dr. PICKFORD, of the University of Heidelberg.
—" Dr. Pickier is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature This is the first
time, he informs us, that be has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if ho 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
distress4ng 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, itnd thus a safe guide is offered for the
treatment or the malady "—Medical Circular, May 8, 1852.

chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of

PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE TREATMENT OF
SPER MATO RR lICE A. BY CAUTERIZATION;
Its Inefficiency and Danger.
BY F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons Of England.

" Tho e 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 prof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has
given the history of a great many case. successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such re cases ix., xi , xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resi-ted, for a
period of twelve ye rs, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
in duratio', seventy, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character4than any detailed Mr Syme, and ytt the
treatment addpied by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful."

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM AUSTRALIA.
" MELnoUttNE, JAN. I.—Last night a struement was made,
that two men had arrive I from Gipps' Land with 10,0001. worth of
gold, and intelligence that there was a k old supply for the whole
world. It is impossible to get a pair of Boots made or mended in
Melbourne : nothing is thought of or talked about but gold."
" Another correspondent states that the price of a pair of Boots is
50s. ; a pair of strong Shoes, 205." With such important informa-
tion before the emigrant, we need say little ab ,ut the inconvenience
attendant on going out unprovided with a proper supply or Ciothing,
Boots, Shoes, Shirts, and Utensils, such as are inclu ed in the inimi-
table Outfits supplied by E. MOSES and SON. It is of the highest
importance that the Emigrant should be provided with an Outfit of
known suitability and specially adapted to the country he has chosen,
as well as the business it is his intention to pursue. This is the pro-
minent feature in E. MOSES and SON'S Outfits. They keep a
separate department in their gigantic estab ishment for the Out-
fitting business. They have dispatched more business in that de-
vartment than any house in the world , and they have concentrated
the knowledge and exaerience of many years : so that it is every
way calculated to prove the greatest advantry.re to all parties
emigrating. E. MOSES and SON are in a position to supply any
number of Emigrants with every article they will require for the
passage and the country to which they may go. The very reason-
able charges for Outfits at E. MOSES and SON'S aro mighty con-
siderations for Emigrants ; the quality of their goods is nowli re to
be equalled, and their complete suitability for any climate arid occu-
pation is every way guaranteed.

A report to that effect has been for some
and it is thus alluded to by the London corrwesepeokndiesnttnoatt
the Oxford Herold:—" A hopeful rumour this
Mr. (late Archdeacon) Manning is not unlikely to come
back to us from Rome. lie is said to be much dissatisfied
with his unhappy change, which was made, it is well known,
under very morbid feelings, excited by the untoward Gorham
affair. The church of Rome was then only
contemplated
:from without—he now sees it in all its error and defilement
within. He sought for peace and unity—he has found dis-
quiet and dissention. Such, at least, are the statements one
now hears in well informed quarters. The recantation of such
a Romanist as Manning and his return to the church of his
baptism, would indeed be an event for English churchmen to

TBE KAFIR WAR.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY EVENING.

Her Majesty'e steam- frigate Gladiator, Captain
Adams, arrived at Spithead this afternoon, at four
o'clock, from the Cape of Good Hope kringing the
ex-Governor, Lieutenant-General Sir. Hsrry Smith,
and steff, Lady Smith, and mails and Government
despatcher. The latter were landed yesterday at
Torbay, in charge of Lieutenant-Colonel Garvock,
secretary- to Sir Harry Smith, who proceeded with
them express for London, and the mails were also
landed at Torbay.
The Gladiator left. Simon's Bay on the 18th of
April, arrived at St. Helena on the 270, sailed the
same day, arrived, at Ascension May Ist, left on the
31, arrived at St. Vincent's (Cape Verde) on the
13th, left on the 14th, arrived at Madeira May 21,
left on the:23l, and made the Lizard yesterday morn-
ing. She anchored off -Torbay about four o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and proceeded for Spithead at
thr4 this morning.'
Sir Harry Smith's staff consists of Lieutenant-
Colonel Garvock and Major Holdich, Aide-de-Camp.
The --:-MrgEera was •to leave the Cape immediately
for England with invalids, in charge of Captain Ad-
disim, of the 2d li?giment.
We'aritirformed that Sir Harry Smith considers
the coup 4. -grace has been given to the Kafir war by
the late operations; but it- would seem by the latest
advices from the seat of war that the enemy was as
active as ever, for we' 'learn that Colonel Eyre had
a desperate action with a strong body of the enemy,
in ythicb, we regrit
:43d;:aed-IWAhliidginti-Iferfliiired, and several men
wounded.

Major Tottenham, of the 12th Lancers, has also
bad a smart' brush with. the enemy, in which be
also lost some of his men and was very,hard pressed
by the Kafirs.
The reception given to Sir Harry Smith by the
colonists on his return to Cape Town must have been
most gratifying, as all the papers are filled. with ad-
dresses lamenting the departure of the ex-Governor,
extolling his deeds, his administration of the affairs of
the colony, and expressing respect for his person and
character.
Major-General Cathcart, the new Governor, bad
arrived at British Kafraria and commenced opera-
tions where his predecessor had left off. But nothing
can be knoain as to his success in the field for another
mail or two. His Excellency arrived at 'King Wil- ,
Ham's Town on Good Friday, where be bad
.a long
interview with Sir Harry Smith, who left on the
following morning at three o'clock 'for the place of
embarkation. On his starting, although dark, the
whole of the troops in garrison voluntarily turned
out to greet him, together with a large number of
inhabitants.
The subjoined official dispatches will serve to illus-
trate the progress of the war since the departure of
the last steamer on the Ist of April :
"BY AUTHORITY.
"NOTICE,

"Head quarters, King William's Town,
April 9, 1852.
66Reports have been received from Colonel Peroeval,
at Bailey's Grave. He states—' In passing T'Slambie's
Kop Salida sent down a messeeger to Mr. Conway (the
interpreter), stating that he was ready to submit to any
wriw you (the Governor) should dic,ive, and that be
would send in the necessary messengers to my camp in
the course- of a c aiple of bours; it permitted,'
“Sandilli has been informed that Mr. Brownlee, the
G,iika Commissioner, was placed by the Goiernor at
Fort Cox for the express purpose of receiving any
Biige.
"Colonel Peroeval reports his operations in the neigh-
bourhood of the Gulu and Doorn Mountains,' which.
have been highly successful. He has captured 515 head
of cattle, and some horses, killing several Kafirii.and one
Hottentot.
"'Colonel Michel reports that during the last few
days he has most coMpletely penetrated. the various
kloofs, &c., in the neighbourhood of Mount Macdonald,
meeting with no opposition; and from what he states it
seems probable that thaesattle taken by Colonel Peree-
val had been flying before Colonel Michel, thus showing
the enemy that their herds are now never safe from
capture.
"Reports have just been received from Major-Gene-
ral Somerset, in the neighbourhood of the Windvogel-
berg. The troops under Lieutenant-Colonel Napier
captured, on the 7th inst., 3,120 head of cattle, 70 horses,
end 1,500 goats, killing upwards of 50 of the enemy—
making a total of 4,500 head of cattle taken by the
Major-General's eolUmn in his pursuit of the enemy from..
" As the sergeant (Hottentot) and 17 men of the Cape
Carps were bringing the Major-General's express during
the night to head quarters, they saw near the small -ri-
vulet Golonci a light in a kraal. They assailed the
kraal and captured a number of cattle, and then, hearing
the lowing of, more eattha in a neighbouring kloof, went
in:pursuit and made a further capture—in all amounting
to 193 h. ad and five horses. Five, Kafirs were killed,
and arms and a,sagais taken. The cattle and horses
have been brought to King W

" Sir,—l have the honour to report to you, for the
information of his Excellency the-Commander-in-Chief,
" Camp at the Gubula, April 7.
that on the 3d instant I moved my column, agreeably
to the instructions received, to the Keiskamma Hoek,
and took up my encampment near Colonel Buller's
position.
"Oa the 4th instant I held a patrol in readines to
move on Mount Thomas, but owing
to the state of the
weather I did not deem it prudent to take out the men.
" On the sth instant, at four o'clock A 21., having can-
suited with the guides, I moved up the Gale River, and
searched the kloofs between the Gulu and Daorn Moun-
tains, as laid down in the tnaptracing furnished to me.
(Ail the guides called this river. the Keiskamma, althogh
laid down in the map as the Gale.) Under the krantz
and in one of the kloofs, we succeeded in capturing 219
head of cattle, killing two Kifirs, and without casualty
on our part. I returned with the captured cattle down
the valby towards the camp, and, sending them in under
escort, bivouacked at six o'clock P.M. above the mis-
sionary station.
"At three o'clock
A.M. on the 6th inst. I marched
along the ridge between 'the Gala and Keiskamma
rivers to a krantz under the Doom Mountains, where tve

Messrs. K9ester, as also of my two Kafir guides,
Gotyana and Gantana.

" Sire—l have the honour to transmit, for his Excel-
lency the Commander-in-Chief's information, Lieutenant-
Colonel Napier's report of the proceedings of his patrol
with the troops which I placed under his orders on the
sth inst., for the purpose of attacking the enemy's
kraals in the ports of the Kye, on the left bank of the
TilolllB9 River. Having been prevented by severe in.
flammation of the foot from accompanying the troops,
I did not join them until yesterday morning.
" The very efficient manner in which this service has
been performed, and the able manner in which it hes
been conducted by Lieutenant-Colonel Napier, will, I
feel assured, meet with his Excellency's high approba-
tion. _ _

" My patrols have captured upwards of 4,500 head of
cattle since I left Balfour, and have shot upwards of 100
of the enemy. " I have, &c.,

to your instructions, I marched from the camp at the
Thomas River at 9 A.m. on the sth instant, with the force
as per margin,* and encamped at the Quantie River at
4 P.M.
" Next morning I sent Captain Tylden's force, the
whole of the mounted Burghers and Fingoes, before
daylight, to scour the country between the Thomas River and the Kei, while I followed in support with the
Cape Mounted Rifles, 60 of the 74th Regiment, 200 of
the 91st Regiment, and the Kat River Levy; leaving
Captain Robinson, R.A., with the gun, and 100 of the
line, to take charge of the camp. At noon I perceived
Captain Tylden on a hill to my right front, and tb•
Burghers on another to my left, who made a signal (pre-
viously agreed upon) that they saw cattlo and wanted
