EXTRACT OF ♦ LETTER FROM NICHOLAS GRAY. U.S., Surveyor to the
lion. T. 0. LARKIN. Dated Hamilton, June llth, 1852.

" With this you will receive a small bbx of specimens of gold-
bearing quartz. The specimens here sent are not selected specimens,
because I wished to inform you corrretly, or within the truth, so as
to bear future examination. I saw much richer specimens.

" This was dug out of a hole about I % miles from Pocenix Mill
knpwn as the Bloomingdale ledge or lead."
It is stated by Mr. Larkin's agent in this country that the box wag
sent unopened from San Francisco to London, and assayed by John-
son and Matthey, and that in the specimens no gold was visible to
the naked eye. The report of Messrs. Johnson and Matthey is as
follows

" Assay-office, 79, Hatton-garden, London,
August 25, 1852.
"The box of gold quartz had half of each piece taken off, and the
whole crushed together very fine, giving grains of gold, which would
Rot pass through the sieve, equal to Soz. 10 dtet. of fine gold to the
ten of 20 cwt. The fine powder produced, by assay, gold equal to
11oz. 10 dwts. of fine gold to the ton if 20 cwt.
oz. dwt. "JOHNSON •and MATTHEY."

20 oat the present price of fine gold—viz., 84s. 714 d. per oz.—
gives a value of about 841. to the ton of 20 cwt.
It is intended that the machinery to be erecd b the
same Feather
River Company shall be capable of crushing and reducing the
coantity at least of gold ore per annum as is minded and crushed by
the celebrated St. Juan del Rey Company of Brazil, viz., about
60,000 tons per annum. The average produce of gold per ton, ob-
tained by that company, as per their publ shed reports, gives a value
of 1/. 11 s. per ton, of ore only as contrasted with the above extraor-
dinary produce of SG. per ton. An average produce per ton

of one-tenth only of this sum—say 81. per ton— yield

with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility 01 the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from the 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
time, he informs ns, that he has addressed himself to the non-m
he edihall-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last,
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
if s
power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, 30, 1851.
"We promised in a former number that we shoulMay
d recur to this
work, In order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by pre) log
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of Quiet Symatbisers,'
and Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from tit com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that rimy h indreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
leas importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

'ME CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Frinci-
Must once Simple, Safe, and Efficient, in even its most Inveterate
apparently Intractable Forms.
BY F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
"In proof of his views lie (Mr. Courtenay) has given
h 4hiatory of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
many which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Pinch are cases ix., xi., ail., and xviii. No. is. had resisted, for a
Period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
-emoved in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
ispduration, 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."
