ITALY.

Private letters from Genoa, of the 12th instant,
contradict the reports of the Austrian army in
Italy having received numerous reinforcements. It
is true that precautions had been adopted by the
Austrian Commander-in-Chief on the side of Swit-
zerland, where the artillery had been reinforced by
four batteries. Accommodation had likewise been
commanded on the line of the Tesino for a small
body of men.

The Parlamento of Turin, of the 14th instant,
announces that the Chamber of Deputies adopted
the day before, by 90 votes to 27, the project of
law, authorising the Minister to alienate an annual
rente of 200,000,000 livres.
The Archduke Francis V., Duke of Modena, and
his suite, arrived at Venice on the 10th instant.
The Mediterraneo of Genoa, of the 13th instant,
publishes the following letter from Florence of the
11th :

" The report of the death of M. Madiai, announced
by the Opinion in its Tuscan correspondence, is totally
unfounded. The Grand Duke, who went to inspect the
works of draining and canalisation in the Maremmas, is
to return next week to inaugurate the series of grand
balls to be given in the Palace Pitti. Florence, the
favourite residence of foreigners, will soon be endowed
with an establishment which is wanting. 36 members
of the Italian and foreign aristocracy in that city have
joined for the purpose of founding a magnificent casino,
which will take the name of Jockey Club. The palace
Uguccioni, at Santa Trinita, has been selected, on ac-
count of its fine salons, for the seat of the establishment."
The King of Bavaria arrived at Rome on the 4th.
The Grand Duke of Tuscany accompanied his Ma-
jesty as far as Sienna.

Order :

" Ministry of War.
"Excellency,—Her Majesty the Queen having read
with astonishment the exposition addressed by you to
the throne, under date of 15th December last, and
clandestinely distributed in the shape of a flying
sheet, and being painfully affected by the tenour of that
document, characterised not only by a want of respect
for her Royal person, but also by excessive per-
sonal praise, unbecoming comparisons, and an absolute
violation of the 2d, sth, 6th, and 16th clauses of the
second Treaty, titulo 17th of the Royal ordinances, and
the present law on the press, her Majesty has deigned
to command, as I hereby inform you by her Royal order,
that I should tell•you that the contents of your expo-
sition have excited her deepest displeasure. The desire
of her Majesty is also that her orders be strictly exe-
ecuted, and that, consequently, your Excellency should
proceed forthwith to execute her Royal order of the 9th
December, 1852, inasmuch as you are concerned.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRWE_ A__
with the View t o the Correction of wide-spread Errors
In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondrlasis.
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 us, that he has addressed himself to the nett-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if be shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
Power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We promised in a former number that we should 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 preying
on the credulity of the public The tribe of ' Quiet Symathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposedthis book
could find its way into the hands of those who saffsr frun th com-
plaint of which It treats, we are satisfied that ninny hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much m0ney...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrivea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and B3YB. +
010::Ic41 basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June IG, 1852.

BY F. B. COURTENA,y,
s of England.
Member of the Royal College of Swoon
"In proof of his views he (Mr.
Courtenay) has given
he history of a great many cases successfinly 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 us, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases anti xix. appear, both
In duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet !ha
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful.''

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY _EVENING, .JANUARY 18, 1853

Knowledge would be one of the most effective edu-
cational grants.possible, and ought not to delayed
for a session. It would conflict with the preju-
dices of no sect, would aid instead of relaxing
voluntary efforts; and benefit trade as much as
education. Let
.it be remembered that the two
facts we have mentioned above are but individual
illustrations of the great statistical one, that 90 per
cent. of our criminals cannot read sufficiently well
to be the better for what they read.

AUSTRIA.

The Press of Vienna says that there is not the
ightest foundation for the statement, in some of
foreign journals, that the Austrian Government
l s-e,nding reinforcements to its army in Italy.
r'The Wanderer of Vienna states, on the authority
T,,ts a person just returned from Hungary, that the
wandering bands of gipsies, who were formerly so
I; amerous in that country, have completely disap-
pLared. Those gipsies who still remain in the
)untry are established in the villages, and engaged
in regular occupations.
i The Austrian Military Commandant of Leghorn,
Ault Crenneville, has issued a modification, dated
t Bth, announcine, the condemnation of six cus-
t( al-house porters to various periods of imprison-
ant, as ringleaders in a disturbance which ori-
gi: sated among the porters on the 24th of December
I:Lst, and had the appearance of a political demon-
-ation, owing to disrespectful language applied to
,:!e Grand Duke of Tuscany.
A jockey-club has just been organised at Florence
some of the Tuscan aristocracy. Its rooms are
the Palazzo, Uguccioni, where a reading-room,
.ibrary, and a good French cook are the chief
;,:tractions.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re-
port, said—ln 1848 the deposits of the public alone .in
this bank were 3,089,659/. ; in 1849, 3,680,000/. ; in
1850, 3,969,000/. ; in 1851, 4,677,000/. ; and in 1852,
5,581,7061. The "rest" in 1848 was rather over
100,0001., and the responsibilities were only 3,089,000/.
odd. The rest since that time had continued pretty
much the same ; but the responsibilities had amounted
to, in 1851, 4,677,2981., and in 1852 to 5,581,706/. He
would therefore put it to the meeting to say whether
they did not consider that the directors had adopted
a proper and prudent course in adding 5,000/. to the
reserved fund during the last year ? This bank was now
nearly approaching its nineteenth year. In March,
1834, it opened its doors for business with a capital of
little over 64,000/. On the 31st December of that year
the capital amounted to 182,255/. ; since that period it
had kept gradually increasing, and was now 1,000,000/.
Their average capital, therefore, during the period of
nineteen years, was 747,880/. The amount paid during
the same period to the proprietors had been 880,926/.,
averaging 6f per cent, from the opening of the bank.
(Hear, hear.) For the last two years the dividend had
been 8 per cent. upon a million. He trusted, therefore,
he might congratulate them on that part of the state of
the bank which he had brought more immediately under
their notice, and that the prosperity of the past was a
fair and reasonable ground for the prosperity of the fu-
ture. (Cheers.) He concluded by moving the adoption
of the report.
Mr. LEVY seconded the motion, which was agreed to
after a brief discussion, and a vote of thanks to the chair-
man closed the proceedings.

EXAMPLE.—At the commencement of the year 1841 a person aged
thirty took out a Policy for 1,0001., the Annual Payment for which
Is 241. Is. Bd.; in 1847 he had paid in Premiums 1681. I Is. Bd. ; but
the profits being 2M percent. per annum on the sum insured (which
is 221. 10s. per annum for each 1,0001.), he had 1571. 10s. added to the
Policy, almost as much as the Premiums paid.
The Premiums,nevertheless, aro on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first five years when the In-
saranceis for Life.

Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident
Director.

BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY).

_
DARING ROBBERT.—James Cooper was brought up,
before Mr. Hall, charged with stealing from the
person of Jane Moss a purse, containing a half a
sovereign Land one shilling. Last night, about seven
•'clock the prosecutrix was proceeding along High-
-street, Bloomsbury, having at the time her purse—
containing the sum named in the charge —in her
hand, when the prisoner came up to her and snatched it
from her, and ran away. She pursued him, calling out
" Stop thief," when he threw away the purse, and, just
as he was about making off, a constable came up and
took him in charge. The purse was subsequently found
in the road.
The prisoner denied the charge, and said he was play-
ing with some other boys, when the constable came up
and took him into custody.
The prosecutrix said she could swear prisoner was the
thief, as she had a distinct view of his face under the
gas lamp.
Mr. Hall committed the prisoner for trial.
London, England, 1853-01-20

" From the statements attached to this report, the pro-
prietors will perceive that the net profits of the bank dur-
ing the last half-year have amounted to 42,470/. 75. cld.
Out of these profits the directors now declare a dividend
at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital
