THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grosemith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

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. PICKFORD.
" Dr. fickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he infbrms 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 equally 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 Spermatorrhcea 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."—

of one battery of garrison artillery, or such portion of it as
may be serving in the command, and has hitherto granted

and men of the detachments of the regiments of the line,
and to officers of the staff and departments. The colony
also defrays the whole cost of the fortifications and barrack
buildings.

New South Wales; the allowances to the troops are, how-
ever, higher, and the Government of Victoria also pays the
allowance of the headquarter staff of the Australian com-
mand.

South Australia—The colony has hitherto granted special
allowances to the officers, non-commissioned officers, and
men serving within the command, and defrays the cost of
the barrack buildings. N.B. The amount to be contributed
by the above colonies during the year 1862-63 is uncertain,
a question respecting the special allowances hitherto granted
being under reference to the several colonial Governments.

num for each officer, non-commissioned officer, and man
serving in the command.

GLOUCEST.ER ELECTION.

GLOUCESTER, TUESDAY.
The nomination of candidates for this city, after
the suspension of the writ for two years on account
of bribery and general corruption, took place to-day
amidst considerable hubbub. As already announced,
there were three candidates in the field, and each
of them mustered his friends so that the County
Hall, where the nomination took place, was cram-
med to the doors. The proceedings commenced at
11 o'clock, but owing to the uproer and the conti-
nual interruptions offered to the speakcre, did not
terminate until nearly three.
After the usual formularies had been gone through
by the sheriff, the question was put, and the popu-
lace shouted the names of their favourite candidates,
which done,
Mr. E. L. KENDALL, merchant, proposed Mr. J.
S. Powell, barrister, as a fit and proper person to
represent the city in Parliament.
Dr. HEARN seoonded the nomination, recom-
mending Mr. Powell as a man sprung from the
people, and especially as a native of Gloucester.
Capt. GUISE nominated the Hon. Charles Page
Fitzhardinge Berkeley as a candidate.
