ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr. PIbIiFORD.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other oqually flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" 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 Spermatorrhma and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary 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."—

DVKINS V. DICKINS.

This was a petition presented by the wife against her
husband for dissolution of marriage on the ground of cruelty
and adultery.

Jane Edge Dickiis, the petitioner, said she resided at
Clinton-terrace, Coiontry. In 1851 she was married at St.
Thomas's Church, Rrmingham, and they afterwards resided
at Draper's-terrace. She did not live with her husband 12
months, as about time months after marriage he began his
ill-treatment, in ccasequence of her receiving one of
her sisters, who came on a visit. On that oc-
casion he gave lur two black eyes. A few months
atter that he took tp the carving knife and made her go
down on her knees aaa swear no one had been in the house
since he had left. aie remonstrated with him about his
conduct but he continued to illtreat her. He used also to
level a gun at her ald threaten to shoot her, and one Sun-
day she recollected him taking a whip with which he
flogged her.
The Judge—Did he strike sharply ?
NVitnessa—Yes, eery.
The Judge-Ordinary—And leave marks ?
Witness—Yes.
The Judge-Ordinary—Did anybody see them ?

Witness—No.
Re-examined—Tvo or three persons saw the black eyes.
On another oc.casiul her husband took out a penknife and
threatened to open one of her veins that she might bleed to
death. She screamed out and her brother cams to her
assistance and took her away. Her husband struck her
two or three days from her confinement because she had
permitted her father to keep her. In a short time after she
got about again he threatened to murder her. He made her
kneel down to say her prayers as he said he intended. He
used to keep a lotion that he compelled her to use to pre-
vent her appearing vith 'black eyes.'., .
several witnesses corroborated the evidence of the wife,
and proved the adultery.
The Court made a decree nisi.

PURCHASE IN THE ARMY.

Sir DE L. EVANS, on the motion for going into com-
mittee, moved that, in the opinion of this house, no further
postponement ought to take place in giving effect to the
promises of Government, that the command of regi-
ments should no longer be purchasable, and that the
promotions to that rank should henceforth be regulated by
election upon the responsibility of the Commander-in-Chief.
The hon. and gallant member, who stated that he was
labouring under ill-health, was very indistinctly heard, was
understood to urge the usual arguments which he has
previously advanced on this subject.
Sir G. LEWIS said that the committee who had elabo-
rately investigated this subject in 1860, and which included
amongst its members the Duke of Somerset, Mr. Sidney
Herbert, and other distinguished persons, had recommended
that the commission of lieutenant- general should not be
obtained by purchase, but be in the appointment of the
Commander-in-Chief. Some other recommendations had
been made. It v as decided that 12 new z egiments should be
created, and it was thought it would be desirable that before
making any alteration in the system they should have the
practice of non-purchase worked in these regiments in which
it was to be tested. Any alteration in the system would be
attended with great difficulties in detail that would
practically render it impossible to bo carried
at the'present day. (Hear.) He also reminded the house
of the expense of any immediate alteration, which would
amount to £7,106,000, for reimbursing the persons who had
purchased commissions in the army. He contended that there
was no analogy between tho naval and military service to
justify the applying the rule of one to the other, for they
were quite dissimilar. He adverted to the fact that in India
where the practice was voluntary and not sancioned by law,
it prevailed to a considerable extent. The right honour-
able gentleman went through different other grounds in
support of his views, and mid that he must oppose the
motion of the hon. and gallait member by moving the
previous question.
General PEEL objected to the recommendation of the
commission, and particularly to the House of Commons in-
terfering with the command oi,llimeediinseelipNlinoeitifn,the army.

ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The council of the Horticultural Society yester-
day laid their plans for the accommodation of a
large number of persons, but the rain set at naught
all calculations. The show of flowers was announced
as of American plants, and extraordinary attrac-
tions were provided. First of all there was the
show itself. In one the tents set up parallel to
M. Veillard's refreshment department in the Exhi-
tion was a magnificent collection of azaleas and
rhododendrons from the nursery of Messrs. Waterer
and Godfrey, of Knap-hill, near Woking. Of the
rhododendrons it is useless to speak in terms of
ordinary praise. They were perfection—perfection
in tint as well as in size, and in mass of flowers.
We have never seen finer plants. But the azaleas
were even finer. In their exquisitely bright orange
they attracted the attention of every one, and
the only matter for regret was that so few were en-
abled to visit the tent which contained, we may say
without exaggeration, an almost unexampled show
of American flowering plants. At two o'clock an
almost extemporised concert was given in the con-
servatory to an audience all too select, by the fol-
lowing French artists, the majority of whom are
members of the Conservatoire Imperials :—M. Che-
villard, M. Lefebure-Welt', M. Leroy, M. Marzolli,
M. Maurin, M. Paquis, M. Theo. Ritter, M. Saba,
tier, M. Triebert, and NI. Viguier. The first and
second parts of Beethoven's " Septnor" were the
main features of this concert, which was exceed-

POLICE-THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET, Tills DAY.
ASSAULTING A MARRIED WOMAN.-- George Holiday
was placed before Mr. Corrie charged with assaulting
Elizabeth Hewson.
The complainant said, last evening, she was passing
through Trafalgar-square, and from what she saw was
induced to believe that the prisoner intended robbing an
old soldier, who she afterwards found had two medals and a
quantity of in oney on his person, as he had; just returned
from India. She refused to leave the soldier until she saw
him in safety, when the prisoner struck her two blows on
the chest. She called out, and two.or three persons came
to her assistance.
Phineas Yewen said he was near the spot at the time
when he was attracted by a small crowd of persons, and on
going up saw prisoner strike the woman a violent blow on
the chest.
William Westc..ott, a private in the Coldstream Gnarls,
said the complainant called out to him to protect an old
soldier, who was atout being robbed. He went up, and
saw the prisoner aita a blow at the complainant. He
warded it off, and thet in consequence of the violent con-
duct of the prisoner he held him until a policeman came up.
The prisoner denied;the charge, and said the complainant
had suspected him w.thout a cause, and it was in conse-
quence of the bad names that she had called him that he
struck her.
The magistrate fined him 20s. for the assault.

THE MANCHESTER MURDERS.

Yesterday morning the inquiry into the circunt•
stances of the death of Mr. Meller and 3f the three,
children was resumed before the magistraies.
The medical evidence and the evidence of tbo
gentlemen who had analysed ..he organ. of the: chil-
dren were given. ThP ,peat-mortem examinations
showed that the deaths of the three children were
simultaneous; that the deaths must have been sud-
den; that the bodies were in a healthy state ; and
that death could not have been the- result of natural
causes, and must have been produced either
or bby some
our suf-
poison administered in the shape of vap y
focation. The chemical evidence shoNwell that no
irri-
tant or narcotic poison, or in fact poison of any kind,
was discovered. But those who made the exami-
nation deposed that though they did
not find
poison it was quite possible that death was the
result of some poison—probably:chloroform.—Odmi-
nistered in the shape of vapour, and that if it was.
so the chloroform could not be discovered.
Professor Alfred Swaine Taylor, Fellow of the
Royal College of Physicians and Professor of
Chemistry and Medical Jurisprudence at Guy's
Hospital, read a written report of his examination
of the contents of the jars, and the conclusions he
had arrived at. He said it was his opinion, from.
what he had seen, and from the evidence he had
heard, that the death of the children had been.
caused by the vapour of chloroform, or by an act of
smothering or suffocation.
The prisoners were committed to take their trial
for the murder of Mr. Meller. The charge with
respect to the children was then disposed.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 27h announce that
copies of the communications whin passed between
the English, French, and Spanisl agents, relative
to the Mexican question, have jrst been finished,
and that, after being examined tt the Council of
Ministers, they will be presented to the Cortes at
the end of the week. The Venerable Duke de San
Miguel is so ill as to have received the Sacra-
ment ; all hopes of his recovery are abandoned.
The Epoca says:—
" We learn, from persons well informed on the
subject, that a recent long conference between the
Minister of Foreign Affairs and the French Am-
bassador was considered very satisfactory, candid
explanations having been given on both sides. We
rejoice at it, for we are anxious to see good har-
mony maintained between the two nations. In
fact, if our patriotism counsels us to observe a policy
of dignified neutrality, it is opposed to the adven-
turous spirit of those who would, ')y their impru-
dence, lead to conflicts disastrous to our country."

BURNTISLAND.—ESCAPADES OF THE ST. GEORGE
MEN.—During the hours of Divine service on Sunday last,
while the men were on shore, several very questionable acts
were committed in the town and vicinity. A few jolly tars
gathered the cows grazing on the links together in a corner,
and milked them to the extent of several pitchersful, quaff-
ing the creamy liquid almost as it flowed amidst joke and
merriment. Having drained the cows, they proceeded to
the crescent and terrace fronting the links, leaped railings
and walls, and spoiled the gardens of their flowers—enor-
mous bunches of which they stuck in their buttonholes.
In Borne instances, the inmates good-naturedly plucked and
handed them bouquets—Jack profusely returning his beni-
sons. Another party entered a Temperance Hotel in the
High-street, and, notwithstanding every remonstrance of
the keeper, took possession, and turned the place into a
grog-shop. Teetotalism for the nonce was at a discount,
liquid stronger than milk was smuggled in, and flowed
freely.

THE ALLE,GED 3IUBDER AT KING' S-

Yesterday Nr. G. S. Brent, the deputy coroner for-
West Middlesex-, presided over a jury, at the Silver
Cup, Cromer-stre et, Gray's-inn-rord, to investigate
the circumstances attending the death of James
Driscoll, labourer, ageci' 34, who, it is alleged, was
killed and slain by Edwai
al Gregory, also a labourer,
who is now in the House of ...Detention, under reman,d.
from the Clerken well Police
court.
Inspector Brennan, of the G
iivision of toolice, was
present for the police commissio, aefs, and presented
a plan of the works where the fatal
\ca.dent occurred.
It represented an arch, at the cur% 3
of which the
deceased was engaged near a derrick-,or
post, and from which place he fell into upright
the cutting
from the exact height of 49 feet 3 inches', ,I, wife of
The body was identified by Ellen Driscoa
in
o
the deceased, who stated that he was a labo:irer,
•rtin
the employ of Mr. Jay, the contractor of one pL.
of the ;Forks of the Metropolitan Underground sit"
way. She last saw him alive on Tuesday last, alone 'lt
three quarter's of an hour before his death, Witneit..
had spoken against the accused Gregory, when her
husband said, Oh, Ellen, don't have him injured.
if you can help it." No other words were used. He
wandered a great deal in his mind.
Mr. John Daniel Hill, house surgeon of the Royal
Free Hospital, said the deceased was brought to
the hospital on Monday night last,
about five
minutes to seven. He was very much
collapsed,
and suffering from two compound fractures
of both
legs and abrasion on the left cheek. Fieding
amputation was necessary, I sent for Mr..' Gooks
and on his arrival the mizn had someNvi:at
rallied, and amputation of the left leg, below OW
knee, was performed. The other leg was not theta
amputated, as he could not sustain the shock. The
amputated limb .had all the arteries taken away,
and the akin torn off, He died at five minutes to
eight on Tuesday night. No oppoi-In
was
afforded for amputating the other leg. In the post,
mortem examination there was found congestion
under the abrasion of the face and fore;tead. The
brain was also congested, but there was no f.racttue
of the skull. The liver and kidneys were disesd.
On examining the remaining leg the bones were
pounded into 15 or 20 pieces, but the arteries of
that leg were not ruptured. The cause of death.
was shock to the system, and the fractures from the
shaking and severity of the fall. A fall would p.vo-
duce such injuries.
By the Jury —Witness was of opinion that he
came down upon his feet, and the injuries on his
bead were from a blow. No-questions were asked
as to the cause of the injuries. He was rambling,
and not in a fit state to b® questioned. The only
lucid interval was with tht chaplain of the hospi-
tal, and the deceased tben answered questions, but
witness removed a short distance from the bed, and
did not overhear what Was stated.
Some further evidence Nclib;
given, and the jury
returned a verdict of manslaughi.er against Gregory.

THE GREAT EASTERN.

It appears from an official abstract of the log of
the Great Eastern's engineer, that the third voyage
of that vessel to New York occupied nine days 18
hours and 45 minutes. The greatest number of
knots run on one day appears to have been on the
15th, when she made 348. The greatest inclination
of the ship to windward appears to have been four

THE GREAT EASTERN.

It appears from an official abstract of the log of
the Great Eastern's engineer, that the third voyage
of that vessel to New York occupied nine days 18
hours and 45 minutes. The greatest number of
knots ruu on one day appears to have been on the
15th, when she made 348. The greatest inclination
of the ship to windward appears to have been four
degrees; to leeward 5.5; and the greatest number
of oscillations per minute was 6.5. From the engi-

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 27th announce that
copies of the communications which passed between
the English, French, and Spanish agents, relative
to the Mexican question, have just been finished,
and that, after being examined at the Council of
Ministers, they will be presented to the Cortes at
the end of the week. The Venerable Duke de San
Miguel is so ill as to have received the Sacra-
ment ; all hopes of his recovery are abandoned.
The Epoca says:—
" We learn, from persons well informed on the
subject, that a recent long conference between the
Minister of Foreign Affairs and the French Am-
bassador was considered very satisfactory, candid
explanations having been given on both sides. We
rejoice at it, for we are anxious to see good har-
mony maintained between the two nations. In
fact, if our patriotism counsels us to observe a policy
of dignified neutrality, it is opposed to the adven-
turous spirit of those wh) would, by their impru-
dence, lead to conflicts disastrous to our country•"

BURN TISLA N D.—ESCARMES OF THE ST. GEORGE
MEN.—During the hours of Divine service on Sunday last,
while the mon were on shore, Feversr very questionable acts
were committed in the town and vicinity. A few jolly tars
gathered the cows grazing on the links together in a corner,
and milked them to the extent of several pitchersful, quaff-
ing the creamy liquid almost as it flowed amidst joke and
merriment. Having o'.raincil the cows, they proceeded to
the crescent and tcrrao frontiag the links, leaped railings
and walls, and spoiled the gardens of their flowers—enor-
mous bunches of which they stuck in their buttonholes.
In some instances, the inmates good-naturedly plucked and
handed them bouquets—Jack jrofusely returning his beni-
sons. Another party entered a Temperance Hotel in the
IHigh-street, and, notwithstancing every remonstrance of
the iool possession, and turned 11'
grog-shop. Teetotalismfor tha nonce was at a di4count,
liquid stronger than, milk was smuggled in, and flowed
freely.

DICKINS V. DICKINS.

This was a petition presented by the wife against her
husband for dissolution of marriage on the ground of cruelty
and adultery.

Jane Edge Dickins, the petitioner, said she resided at
Clinton-terrace, Coyontry. Tn 1551 oho coals marriorl at St.
Thomas's Church, Birmingham, and they afterwards resided
at Draper's-terrace. She did not live with her husband 12
months, as about three months after marriage he began his
ill-treatment, in consequence of her receiving one of
her sisters, who came on a visit. On that cc-
casion he gave her two black eyes. A few months
atter that he took up the carving knife and made her go
down on her knees and swear no one had been in the house
since he had left. She remonstrated with him about his
conduct but he continued to illtreat her. lie used also to
level a gun at her and threaten to shoot her, and one Sun-
day she recollected him taking a whip with which he
flogged her.
The Judge—Did he strike sharply ?

Witnesss—Yes, very.
The Judge-Ordinary—And leave marks ?

Witness—Yes•
The Judge-Ordinary—Did anybody see them ?

Witness—No,

Re-examined—Two or three persons saw the black eyes.
On another occasion her husband took out a penknife and
threatened to open one of her veins that she might bleed to
death. She screamed out and her brother came to her
assistance and took her away. Her husband struck her
two or three days from her confinement because she had
permitted her father to keep her. In a short time after she
got about again be threatened to murder her. He made her
kneel down to say her prayers as he said he intended. He
used to keep a Ition that he compelled her to use to pre-
vent her appearing with black eyes-.
several witnesses corroborated the evidence of the wife,
and proved the adultery.
The Court made a decree nisi.

POLICE---THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET, THIS DAY.
ASSAULTING A MARRIED WOMAN.— George Holiday
was placed before Mr. Come charged with assaulting
Elizabeth Hewson.
The complainant said, last evening, she was passing
through Trafalgar-square, and from what she saw was
induced to believe that the prisoner intended robbing an
old soldier, who she afterwards found had two medals and a
quantity of money on his person, as he had. just returned
from India. She refused to leave the soldier until she saw
him in safety, when the prisoner struck her two blows on
the chest. She culled outs and two or three persons came
to her assistance.
Phineas Yewen said he was near the spot at the time
when he was attracted by a small crowd of persons, and on
going up saw prisoner strike the woman a violent blow on
the chest.

William Westcott, a private in the Coldstream Gnarls,
said the complainant called out to him to protect an old
soldier, who was about being robbed. He went up, and
saw the prisoner aim a blow at the complainant. Ho
warded it off, and then in consequence of the violent con-
duct of the prisoner he held him until a policeman cams up.
The prisoner denied:the charge, and said the complainant
had suspected him without a cause, and it was in conse-
quence of the bad names that she had called him that he
struck her.
The magistrate fined him 20s. for the assault.

ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The council of the Horticultural Society yester-
day laid their plans for Han anentrtnodation of a
large number of persons, but therein set at naught
all calculations. The show of flowers was announced
as of American plants, and extraordinary attrac-
tions were provided. First of all there was the
show itself. In one of the tents set up parallel to
M. Veillard's refreshment department in the Exhi-
tion was a magnificent collection of azaleas and
rhododendrons from the nursery of Messrs. Waterer
and Godfrey, of Knap-hill, near Woking. Of the
rhododendrons it is useless to speak in terms of
ordinary praise. They were perfection—perfection
in tint as well as in size, and in mass of flowers.
We have never seen finer plants. But the azaleas
were even finer. In their exquisitely bright orange
they attracted the attention of every one, and
the only matter for regret was that so few were en-
abled to visit the tent which contained, we may say
an almost unexampled show
plants. At two o'clock an

almost extemporised concert was given in the con-
servatory to an audience all too select, by the fol-
lowing French artists, the majority of whom are
members of the Conservatoire Imperiale :—M. Che
villard, M. Lefebure-Welt', M. Leroy, M. Marzolli,
M. Maurin, M. Faquis, M. Theo. Ritter, M. Saba,
tier, M. Triebert, and M. Viguier. The first and
second parts of Beethoven's " Septnor" were the
main features of this concert, which was exceed-
ingly enjoyed by the too limited audience which
dared the rain to gain the conservatory. When the
rain had somewhat cleared off the band of the Ist
ILife Guards, under Jr.Waddell, and the band of
.the Royal
Artillery, under Mr. Smyth, performed
on the terraces a number of pieces to the great satis-
faction of the
visitors, who, as soon as the rain was
over, entered the gardens from the Exhibition.
To-day and during the
month
Wednesdays, and
of June the exhibi-
tion of American plants continues open to the pub-
lie; on Mondays, Tuesdays,
' Thursdays, at ono shilling each person.

" STABLE MotTsE."—Era.

But I am too long delaying you from the account of the
interview in the Malton Stable that I spoke of at the be-
ginning of my letter. There were several tip-top swells
present, and the Wizard of the North exhibited the great
Derby crack to them, and explained his points. " I say if
ever I had a Derby horse under my care, that is one," said
he. "What sort of ground, John, will he like best 1"" in-
quired one of the swells. " Why, he will like it a trifle
hard, but anything will suit him but mud. If it's mud on
the day, why then of course all our calculations will be
upset, because in that case it will not be which can go
the fastest, but which has got the broadest feet. And lam
afraid," he continued, looking out of the stable door, " that
it looks very like mud for the Derby Day." " But you
think, if it's fine, that he will be all right I' inquired one of
the gentlemen. "All right I" replied the Wizard, "give
me the Downs in good racing order, and I will snap my
fingers at everything. When we get to the distance post
he will have disposed of everything except Bucketone. It
will then look like a match between the two, but in the end
we shall knock the Actor over." Such was the opinion o f
the Wizard, and, therefore, I go for
THE MARQUIS.

" DERBY ALPHABET." —.Era.
Gone amiss, and scratched out now is Old Calabar,
Or first in the lot he'd be counted by far;
So THE MARQUIS shall first as the winner be reckoned,
With Buckstone to finish a very fair second :
For Caterer the third place we boldly assign,
And Neptunus pronounce to bo fourth in the line ;
On Wingrave we venture for fifth place to fix,
And Ensign just fills up the number of six.

THE ALLLTGED MURDER AT KIINTG%S-

CROSS.

Yesterday Mr. G. :3. Brent, the deputy coroner for
West Middlesex, :presided over a jury, at the Silver
Cup, Cromer-sti-ce t, Gray's-inn-rord, to investigate:
the circumstances attending the death of James
Lj:iscoll, labourer,. aged 34, who, it is alleged, was
killed
:.nd slain by Edward Gregory, also a labourer,
who v7i!ir.keu w,
the Elouse of Detention, under remand
from ch
ell Police court.
Inspector B:enna" of the G division of police,was
present for the p.'liee commissioners, and presented
a plan of the works Nihe,-e the fatal accident occurred.
It represented an arch,,
_at the curve of which the
deceased was engaged oekr a derrick or upright
post, and from which place h.' fell into the cutting
from the exact height of 49 feet 3 i.aci2es.
.labourer, in
The body was identified by Elleo Driscoll, wife of
the deceased, who stated that he waa a
the employ of Mr. jay, the contractor of G 'ne portion
of the works of the Metropolitan Undergro, Ind Rail-
way. She last saw him alive on Tuesday las t, about
three quarters of au hour before his death. N\ ritneaa
had spoken E.,gainst the accused Gregory, wheal her
husband said, " Oh, Ellen, don't have him injcred:
if you can help it." No other words were used. He
wandered a great deal in his mind.
Mr. Sohn Daniei Hill, house surgeon of the Royal
Free Hospital, said ,-Jte deceased was brought to
the hospital on Montlay night last, about five
minutes to seven. He was very much collapsed,
and suffering from two ma.
rnpound fractures of both
legs and abrasion on the left cheek. Finding
and on his arrival th
amputation was nenessarvy I sent for Mr. Cook,
Ivan had somewhat
e
rallied, and amputation of ,the: left leg, below the
knee, was performed. The other leg was not then
amputated, as he could not suotain the shock. The
amputated limb had all the al-teries taken away,
and the skin torn off. He died at five minutes to
eight on Tuesday night. No caportunity was
afforded for amputating the other leg. In the post-
mortem examination there was found congestion
under the abrasion of the face and forebk'ad• The
brain was also congested, but there was no fFacture
of the skull. The liver and kidneys were ikacased..
On examining the remaining leg the bones were
pounded into 15 or 20 pieces, but the arteries of
that leg were not ruptured. The cause of death
was shock to the system, and the fractures from: the
shaking and severity of the fall. A fall would p 11)..
duce such injuries.
By the Jury—Witness was of opinion that he
came down upon his feet, and the injuries on big
head were from a blow. No questiot a were asked.
as to the cause of the injuries. He wt.'s rambling,
and not in a fit state to be questioned.. The only
lucid interval was with the chaplain ,of the hospi-
tal, and the deceased then answered que,stions, bat
bed; au&
witness removed a short distance from thal
did not overhear what was stated.
Some further evidence was given, and title jury
returned a verdict of manslaughter against Gnegory.
