"Dr. Pickford '.£3 known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first

could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
plaint bf which it treats, we are satisfied that many 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 money.... —This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
'empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
Manta upon a mote rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,

lt/ifit.'Y be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
Mulling from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro-
shred more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist-
ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitflil Marri-
lfge3, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
Mess modifications owe their almost, entire origin.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
%curling' grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
thitY be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequenc es may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure
1)OCTO LAWERT has for a long series of years been engaged
,
! an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and is the only legally,. qualified Physician who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of thehypocritical and mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is
"warded
In selecting the department of practice, he has been amply
"warded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
eare of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated
Publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues
of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills
for the Effectual Cure of Bad Legs.—Extract of a letter
from H. Watkinson, Esq., proprietor of the Spalding
Free Press, dated Dec. 15, 1852 :—" Dear Sir,—A
cot-
taaer, residing at Moulton, has requested me to send
you the particulars of the almost miraculous cure effected
by using your ointment and pills ; the sufferer's name is
Hewdle, who injured his leg about 14 years ago, and
although he was under medical treatment fir weeks toge
ther he derived no benefit. At the age of 60 another
accident happened to the already injured leg, which left
it in a fearful condition. However, by the use of your
medicines alone, his leg has been perfectly cured.—Sold

lishment, 244, Strand, London.

The loyalty of the Spaniard is one of the great
national passions which has withstood the shocks
of time. With his bigotry, his bull fight, and his
paper cigar, it makes him amends for the absence
of much political knowledge and much political
ambition. There is in this passion of loyalty—for
feeling we must not call it—something that carries
us back to the East in earlier epochs of Oriental
history—to the climes where all save one were
slaves, and that one the master—the sovereign
ruler and dispenser of riches or poverty, life or
death. But, as if the Eastern notion of loyalty
had not been sufficient in its intensity, in the heart
of the Spaniard it has been commingled with the
burning enthusiasm of the crusader. Well nigh
eight centuries elapsed from the time the Goth
Roderick lost his kingdom to the Moor until, under
the walls of Granada, its restoration to the domi-
nion of the cross was completed by the arms and
policy of Isabella and Ferdinand. During all this
period there was acted on the very soil of Spain
the same drama which for other nations was played
out in Palestine. If, then, the spirit of the Cru-
sades has left indelible traces upon the genius of
the other western nations, each of which only en-
gaged in them a small contingent and dispatched
it to the world's end, what must be the case with
the Spaniard ? His great battles of religion were
fought upon his own soil ; his Bosworths, his
Nasebys, his Marston Moors, were in the Castiles
or in Andalusia. Hence the spirit of chivalry be-
come stereotyped in Spain, and 'exists evencto' tin)
present day, despite the corruption of the magis-
tracy and the pettifogging iniquities of the various
stock-j obbing associations which have succeeded each
other in the supreme direction of affairs. Misled as
they have been by their civil rulers, misguided by
their priests, trained to butchery by the partisan
leaders in the civil wars, the Spaniards are still
a noble race. They acquiesce in Royalty as the
inevitable guide and supreme authority of human
life, as Eastern warriors were wont to acquiesce in
it. They bow their heads submissively to Destiny
clothed in human form, and tricked in regal
attire. More than this, it is with them a devotion
—an affection. They love their queen—or did so
once. Time was when the Spaniard was as
Othello, without the Moor's capacity for jealousy ;
he would once have brooked no questioning of the
Royal Desdemona who was the incarnation of the
historic glories of his native land. Strike at her,
and you struck at the chastity of his wife, at the
good name of his daughter, and bespattered with
dirt the escocheon of a family which was an old
one in Castile in the days of Alonzo the Wise.
Let no son or daughter of a Constitutional Go-
vernment,—let no disciple of " balanced powers,"
—let no pupil of the ingenious Abbe Sieyes affect
to sneer at the intensity of a feeling which is be-
yond his comprehension. The imagination of the
Spaniard colours up objects to the tone of his own
glowing climate. He believes what he feels. It
would have been as useless a task six years back to
lead him to "a just estimate of the capacity and
character of his Sovereign, and of the general
effects of .her administration," as it would have
been to reason with a dancing Dervish at Constan-
tinople upon the ultimate object of his contortions.
Nor can it be denied that in a political point of
view this exaggeration of loyalty has had its good
effect in binding together the various provinces of
the Spanish Monarchy, which would scarce have
acknowledged any other bond of union. It would
require another Sismondi to chronicle the jealousies
and reciprocal heartburnings of the Castiles, of
Arragon, of Catalonia, of Andalusia, of the other
Spanish provinces ; they have been held together
by two:ties only—the one is religion concentrated
into bigotry—the other was loyalty, exaggerated
into an ardour of unquestioning devotion of spirit
and of soul.

We are now witnessing the spectacle of the
decay and extinction of Spanish loyalty. That
which the imbecility of the Fourth Charles and
the selfish brutality of Ferdinand VII. could not
effect has been accomplished by a young woman
and a Queen. The task of extinguishing so
remarkable a feeling as that of the loyalty of the
Spanish name was no easy one. Misgovernment
would not have done it. Your Spaniard is as
accustomed to misgovernment as to his cigarito.
We question, indeed, if good government—that is,
government upon the London or Washington
model—would not have irritated him into rebellion
more quickly than any given number of acts of
rigour. Corrupt the constituencies—dissolve the
Cortes—censure the press—gag the Tribune—a
Spaniard can do very well without these institutions,
and would as soon have thought of rising against
the throne of Isabella the Catholic on account of
their absence as he. would have done had his Royal
mistress denied him the enjoyment of souchong
and hung beef. Acts of cruelty and dragonnades
would not have done it. Queen Isabella might
have laid provinces waste, and massacred the inha-
bitants, and the bulk of her subjects would have
esteemed it right royally done. A Queen who
was ready to dismiss her loving subjects to the
repose of the garotte chair, or the amenities of a
shooting party, would have had all their sympa-
thies. Queen Isabella might have laughed at law
and order, justice and humanity, and her subjects
would not have hissed her in her opera-box, as
they did the other day. It was on the 18th of the
present month that a Spanish Queen endured this
last indignity at the hands of her people. There
had not of late been more than the usual amount
of corruption in the various departments of Govern-
ment. What has happened in the course of the
last few weeks had happened twenty times before,
but at the bull-fight and the Opera, on the Ala-
meda and at the gates of her palace, the Queen had
enjoyed immunity from censure—for censure was
insult. So great had been her offence,—so deeply
had she wounded the punto d'onor of the Spanish
race,--that they had no alternative but to remain
silent, or to blow away the loyal traditions of eight
centuries with a breath. The Queen entered the
Royal box with her consort—with the consort of
Louis Philippe's finding. She stood prepared for
the usual loyal demonstrations. The splendour of
the scene was mechanically suspended that the
Royal March, according to custom, might give time
and harmony to the glad acclamations of her sub-
jects. But from all sides of the hall—of a hall
crowded with the most illustrious personages of
Spain—a cry of aversion resounded. There should
be no march played. There should be no glad cry
of welcome. Where the Queen of Spain looked for
cheers her ear was greeted with hisses and expres-
sions of disgust Basta, bastes de eso !"—" We
have had enough of this 1"—" Que continue la
opera !"—" Let the opera proceed !" Was it in-
sensibility—was it scorn ? The Queen did not
change countenance. Not so the husband of the
Queen by registry and in name. Not so another
person in that house, who at the present moment
occupies a post at Madrid for which no name is
given in the hierarchy of Spanish dignities, al-
though a Spanish muleteer would be at little loss
to supply the requisite denomination. There stood
the successor of Charles V., glancing down upon
the people, who were cursing her in their hearts,
and hissing at her with their lips, with no one to
rely upon save the person who for the moment had
succeeded to her favour. All this passed at
Madrid on the evening of Tuesday, the 18th of the
present month.
No single act of imprudence could have pro-
duced such a result. The loyalty of the Spaniard
was so deeply seated that it could not be oblite-
ratedastsoindgrafg theolly
or a passing crime. It
was
Spanish crown very long
through very miry spots indeed before the nation
would have risen against its wearer, as though treason
necessary a
P
had been committed agains the repose of a private
family. This is not the first time that the nation
had witnessed the spectacle of notorious profligacy
in the highest station. Butt bad as have been the
previous instances of such disregard of all obliga-
tions, no Spanish Queen has as yet loved to exhibit
the living proofs of her successive acts of shame
before the eyes of a nation. Now, there is no
poetry possible for the Heloise of many Abelards.
What wonder, then, that the loyalty of the
Spaniard, being such a passion as we have de-
scribed it to be, should have been converted into its
opposite by so shameful an exhibition ? As the
feeling was a personal one, so it is much to be
feared the retribution may one day be. We, who
regard Sovereigns with a more tempered feeling of
respect, and who most fortunately have never oc-
casion to think of our Sovereign but of a lady as
spotless in her life as she is eminent in station, can
scarcely comprehend what a revulsion of feeling
may lead to in such a case as this. The conduct of
the Sovereign is felt as a personal disgrace by every
Spaniard in the solitude of his own dwelling. Such
is not quite the end of the " Spanish marriages "
—of that politic scheme for the sake of which a
at Minister sacrificed his character for
great probity,
and a anble Monarch one of the first crowns in
Christendom.

RELIGIOUS PRMECUTION IN TUSCANY
AN I,°•SWEDEN.
DEPUTATION I,ro LORD CLARENDON.
Yesterday afternoorp deputation from the Evan-
gelical Alliance waiteoilkuPon the Earl of Clarendon, at
the Foreign-office, to press their gratitude for tho
liberation of Miss Cunn &tine by the Government of
Tuscany, and to call the attention of the Foreign Secre-
tary to circumstances whioh have transpired relative to
the oppression of religious dissidents in Sweden. The
deputation consisted of tfie following gentlemen :—Sir
Culling Eardley, Bart,-; Mr. G. Hitchcock, London ;
Mr. G. Henderson, Glasgow ; Rev. Dr. Steane, hon.
secretary of the Evangelical Alliance ; Rev. Dr. Black-
wood, Rev. Peter Latrobe, Rev. J. A. James, Bir-
mingham ; Rev. Carr Glyn, rector of Witchampton ;
Rev. Dr. Duff, Rev. J. Jordan, and rector of Enstone.
The deputation having,been introduced to Lord Cla-

rendon,
Sir C. EARDLEY saic.he had had the honour of wait-
ing on his lordship son time ago, with a deputation,
on the subject of Miss Cunninghame's arrest in the tern-
tory of the Grand Dube of Tuscany. He was glad to
see that the tables weni now turned, and that the young
lady who had been a piisoner was now free. On hear-
ing of this, of courses his immediate impulse was to
express his belief and hope that she owed her liberation
to the remonstrances of the British Government. But
in reverence to this therp were two questions that met
them. One was of time, for they were not quite sure
whether his lordship's despatch could have arrived in
time to effect the objedt at which it aimed ; but that
was, of course, no affair of theirs, for if the kindness
Were *he-6d was _,the "iiriiniediate cause `of`
the effect produced 0r not was very immaterial.
Another question w4B, whether the liberation of
Miss Cunninghame had been produced consistently with
principles which the deputation could, to use a Scot-
tish legal phrase, homologate—in other words, whether
it had been granted .by the Grand Duke's Govern-

went as a mere matter of course, or whether it had
been asked and conceded in the name of the English
Government. He hoOd his lordship would understand

that they did not say this with any purpose of dictating
to the Government —a- view which would be incompa-
tible with their duty as English Christians--or with any
wish to extract from his lordship any disclosures that
might be prejudicial to the public service. But their
feeling was—and they looked at the matter unanimously
in this light—that they ought not to do anything incon-
sistent with the views of those for whom they acted, and

their hope certainly was that the liberation had been
effected on the demand of the British Government, and
not as a favour granted by the Grand Duke of Tuscany
In the belief that that had been the case, he begged to
assure his lordship that the deputation felt they owed a
great debt of gratitude to the Government for vindicat-
ing the privileges of British subjects by setting the lady
in question at liberty.
The Earl of CLARENDON said in reply— Sir Culling
Eardley, you are quite right in thinking that my dis-
patch did not arrive in time to be acted upon by Mr.
Scarlett, but he had received private letters upon the
subject. There was not the least doubt about the course
we should pursue, however, and that course was com-
municated to the Tuscan Government, but it was after
Mr. Scarlett had obtained the release of Miss Cunning-
hame. lam sorry to see that there have been some
attacks made against Mr. Scarlett for the course he has
taken, which, I must say, appears to me to have been
very judicious. He represented to the Tuscan Govern-
ment that Miss Cunninghame was ignorant of the law for
the infraction of which she was apprehended, that the
law was a most harsh and cruel one, that its application
to her was extremely wrong, and that the people of Eng-
land would take up the case as one of great injustice to

a fellow-subject. He pointed out the manner in which

it would be looked at in this country, and strongly
recommended the Tuscan Government to do mot

ppoprio what must otherwise be insisted upon as
an act indispensable for our satisfaction. It is
not for me to dive into the motives which have
induced the Duke of Tuscany to liberate Miss Cun-
ninghame. I can only say it appears, as far as my
dispatches go, that the conduct of the Tuscan Ministers
was extremely creditable to them. They quite approved
of Mr. Scarlett's efforts to obtain her liberation, and
assisted in every way to forward the measures he took
for the alleviation of her position, and for enabling her
to see her mother. Except as regarded the privation of
liberty, there was nothing, as she herself told Mr. Scar-
lett, that she had to complain of. I really cannot pre_
tend to say what motives they were that induced the
Grand Duke to yield, but Miss Cunninghame was liber-
ated. I have heard since that the judges were likely to
give an opinion in her favour, which, of course, nobody
could have had reason to anticipate in the first instance.
I do not certainly know that they were about to do so ;
indeed, I should think it rather doubtful ; nor do I know
what were the motives of the Tuscan Government. I
know that my dispatch was communicated to the Tuscan
Government, as an earnest of what might be expected
if Miss Cunningham° was not liberated. Upon her being
set at liberty, they at once acceded to Mr. Scarlett's re-
quest. She was first desired to quit the country, but
Mr. Scarlett said he thought it would be very hard to
force her to do so, and asked that she might be allowed
to remain with her mother, who was ill. This was at
once acceded to, and I do not know that she has left
Lucca, but believe she still remains there. I think there
has been a manifestation of sentiment, on the part both
of the Government and people of7this country, sufficient
to leave no doubt on the minds of the Tuscan Govern-
ment as to the light in which the matter was viewed
by us.

Sir C. EABDLEY said the inquiry of the deputation did
not so much relate to the grounds taken by the Tuscan
Government as to the position assumed by our own. They
could not dive into the motives of the Tuscan Govern-
ment, but what they wished to ascertain was, that such
high language had been held by our own as would
satisfy the expectations of the religious community of
this country.

The Earl of CLARENDON—I can only repeat what I
said to you, as I did to Lord Shaftesbury, that Ido not
think any British subject has a right to go into another
country and refuse to observe the laws that prevail there.
The laws may be as cruel and harsh as possible, but if
British subjects do go there of their own accord and live,
they cannot disregard those laws altogether.
Sir C. EARDLEY begged to observe that there was a
great difference between the act of a Government that
protected its own laws by turning those who disregarded
them out of the country, and that of a Government which
punished such trespassers by imprisonment.
The Earl of CLARENDON—I do not think it quite ap-
posite at this moment to argue these points. The ques-

tion is, whether the law exists, and whether a Govern-
ment has a right to make an exception for all foreigners
as regards the observance of the law. We should not
do so in this country ; we require all foreigners to com-
ply with our laws. My language hi this case was that
it was a melancholy thing that such a law should exist
at all, and still more so that it should have been recently
enacted—that it was melancholy to think that persons
in high places should bring themtelves to believe that
such proceedings could be agreeable to the Almighty, or
could be in harmony with the mild doctrines of Chris-
tianity. I said that the cruel provisions of the !law
were probably not known to Miss Cunninghame or her
friends, and that I trusted to the good feeling of the
Grand Duke of Tuscany that she should be immediately
set at liberty. Ido not know that he was the instigator
or promoter of the act in the first instance.
Sir C. EARDLEY said there had been strong reason a
priori to think he probably was, as he was known to
be actuated by feelings of intense bigotry-
The Earl of CLARENDON—•I have no reason whatever
to say so. Miss Cunninghame was arrested, and imme-
diately the affair took its legal course, as one of police.
Who was the instigator of it, I have not the least idea.

Sir C. EARDLEY then called his lordship's attention to

the conduct pursued by the Swedish Government to-
wards religious dissidents in Sweden, which appeared to
be very much of a piece with the conduct of the Tuscan
Government towards the Madiais and Miss Cutininghaine,
with this worse feature, that Tuscany acted in the dark-
ness of Papacy, whereas Sweden acted in the light, or at
least with the profession, of Protestantism. They
wished to state a few facts communicated to them by
the sufferers in Sweden, who had appealed to them to
take up their case, which would appear to amount to a
complete denial of religious liberty. They had it in
contemplation to make a proposition to the Diet that
was about to assemble in Sweden at the beginning of
December. He should call upon his reverend friend to
state the facts.
The Rev. Dr. STEANE said that in the northern parts
of Sweden a number of persons were at present holding
religious meetings, some of whom still continued mem-

hers of the Lutheran or Established Church of Sweden,
whilst others bad formed associations amongst them-
selves for the due administration of religious ordinances.
In the latter case the law of the country was distinctly
violated, because no dissent was allowed in Sweden ;
Roman Catholics and Baptists, for example, were ex-
pelled from the country, and he knew instances in which
this had been recently done. With regard to the other
case, it was scarcely less a violation of Swedish law to
hold religious meetings out of the church, without the
presence of the pastor, and at uncanonical hours. The
people were doing this, and for doing this they were
subjected to confiscation of goods, imprisonment on a
diet of bread and water, and, for a third offence, banish-
ment for four or five years.

The Earl of CLARENDON—Is this for dissenting from
the Established Church ?

The Rev. Dr. STEANE said those of whom he spoke
were not dissenters—they did not baptise or dispense
the Lord's Supper. He spoke of those who still con-
tinued members of the Lutheran Church, but held vo-
luntary meetings for religious worship, which was con-
trary to the law, and for which they were subjected to
severe fines and imprisonment. In a single village not
less than fifty peasants had been fined 30s. each ; and it
must be observed that this was a heavier fine in Sweden
than in England. The doctrine of the Baptists was, that
no person should be baptised except on a personal pro-
fession of his faith ; and as the peasants refused to take
their children to be baptised, persons were sent who
seized the infants, and carried them off from their
mothers' arms to the Lutheran Church to be baptised,
the peasants being visited with severe fines for not
taking them voluntarily. Sometimes their goods or.
cattle were taken to pay the fees of baptism and the
expenses of seizure, and the consequence was that in the
province of Norrland the whole community was plunged
into a state of apprehension and dismay. The religious
meetings to which he alluded were frequently held on
the Lord's-day, and in that case a double penalty was
incurred—first, for having met at all ; and next, for a
violation of the Sabbath ; and, in some cases, parties
bad been prosecuted for the double offence.

Sir C. EARDLEY--His lordship would allow them to
ask whether it would be legitimate for them directly to
present a petition or representation of facts to the Diet,
or if they must apply through the channel of his lordship
or the ambassador at Stockholm ?

The Earl of CLARENDON said this must depend upon
the regulations of the Diet—whether foreigners would
be allowed to come before it by petition. If the depu-
tation would allow him, he would make inquiry into the
circumstances, and give them the best advice he could
after ascertaining them. The facts were new to him,
but he had the means of making inquiry, and should
not fail to do so.

The Rev. Dr. STEANE observed that the facts were
certified to them by associates of the Evangelical Alli-
ance abroad, with names of persons and localities. With
his lordship's permission, he;would submit a statement of
them in writing.

The Earl of CLAREXDON said this would be a great
assistance. He might mention that he had been
waited upon by deputations with petitions from
Scotland, complaining of acts of oppression com-
mitted in Denmark, Hanover, and he thought also in
Wurtemburg. He took charge of those petitions,
which were directed in each case to the sovereign of
the country concerned. He sent them to her Majesty's
Ministers at the different Courts, with such instructions
as he thought likely to be useful, and he had been in-
formed in each case by the British Minister that on
communicating with the Ministers of the sovereign to
whom he was accredited, the facts were invariably re-
pudiated, and he was informed that nothing of the kind
existed. The British Minister also stated that the facts
alleged took them by surprise, that no such complaints
had ever reached them, or had been heard of in society,
and that, consequently, the petitions were sent back as
not applicable. He thought it right to make this known,
in order that the persons who had communicated to him
the petitions of which he spoke might be aware of the
exact tenor of the information which had reached him ;
and without some specific facts being furnished, he
should not think it right to take any further steps.
From none of the parties in question had he ever re-
ceived any additional information. The fact of the de-
putation being able to refer to some authority in the
present case, as a guarantee for the authenticity of the
statements, was, therefore, of great importance.
Sir C. EARDLEY assured his lordship that circumstan-
tial details of the facts had been communicated to the
managers of the Alliance.
The deputation then retired.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 27.

The Princess Royal, 91, got up her steam in the
basin to-day and tried her machinery, which has been
fitted by Maudslay and Field. It worked remarkably
well.

The Terrible, 21, Captain M'Cleverty, was coaled to_
day at Spithead, from the Orestes depot, and will pro
vision to-morrow for the Mediterranean.

PLYMOUTH, OCT. 27.
Her Majesty's brig Arab, 12, Commander Ogle, and
the Dolphin, 6, Lieutenant Commander Webber, put
into the Sound yesterday afternoon from Portsmouth,
both bound to the coast of Africa. The Arab is short
of hands ; the Dolphin has some defects to be made
good.
A fatal accident occurred yesterday afternoon in
Hamoaze. Mr. Sutton, engineer of the dockyard, was
assisting to refit the screw of the Agamemnon, 91, when
the fan unexpectedly turned over, and struck him on
the head and chest with so much force that be expired
in a few minutes. Mr. Sutton was in the millwright
department, and has left a widow and six children.
This morning, at 2 o'clock, a 60-gun screw steam-fri-
gate, under steam and single-reefed topsails, wind strong
from the southward, was observed close to Penlee, going
up Channel. On her weather quarter was a bark-rigged
paddle-wheel vessel-of. war under steam and single-reefed
topsails, apparently in company.
At 5 30 this morning a paddle-wheel steamer, bark-
rigged, under steam and three topsails and topgallant-
sails, was seen going up Channel. She was rather short,
had painted ports, and a king figurehead. No name on
stern, and bore the American ensign at her peak.
