London, England, 1853-06-10

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD

"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
t me, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the nost-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the laat, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
rower 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 th credulity of the public. The tribe of ' Quiet Symathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if Ude book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hsndreds would
he 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 Spennatorrhcsa, and to place the treat-
!writ upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

TURKEY.

Mr. LAYARD said he had given notice of his inten-
tion to bring the affairs of Turkey under the consider-
ation of the house, but he understood it would be incon-
venient for him to do so to-night. Considering, how-
ever, that an official notice had appeared in the Paris
papers of the sailing of the French and English fleets for
the Dardanelles, and considering also the importance of
the subject, he wished to know if the Government would
allow him a day to bring the question forward. If not,
of course there would be no other alternative open to
him, but to take the first opportunity which the forms
of the house would permit for bringing the matter on.
Lord PALMERSTON said his noble friend the mem-
ber for the city of London, had the management of the
business of the house, and in his absence he was unable
to make any promise.
MILITIA STAMPS.

Col. NORTH wished to ask the Secretary to the
Treasury whether, in the case of militia officers any
stamp duty is payable upon their commissions ; if no
duty is payable, then, in the event of its having been
paid, will they be returned the amount of the stamp.
Mr. WILSON was understood to reply in Ole nega-
tive.
POOR-LAW MEDICAL OFFICERS.

Mr. BRADY wished to ask the Chief Secretary for
Ireland if it was his intention to make any alteration in
the present mode by which medical officers are paid
under the Medical Charities Act of Ireland, since the
taxation of Ireland has been increased : If he has any
intention of altering or increasing the medical districts
under the Medical Charities Act of Ireland : And, if he
has any intention of altering or increasing the medical
officers' salaries under the Medical Charities Act of Ire-
land/
Sir J. YOUNG was unable to answer the question.
It should be put to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or
some one connected with the Treasury.
SUCCESSION TAX.

In reply to Mr. MuLTANs,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
the tables of the duration of life to be introduced into
the Succession Tax and Legacy Duty Bills would be the
same as those under which Government annuities were
granted.
Sir J. PAKINGTON moved that the house at its
rising do adjourn until Monday next, for the purpose of
urging upon the Government the propriety and necessity
of postponing the second reading of the Succession Tax
Bill until the tables referred to had been printed.
Sir F. KELLY took a similar view of the'matter,
and seconded the appeal of the hon. baronet the member
for Droitwich, as it would be impossible to discuss the
merits of the bill without the schedules and papers.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could
not accede to this request for a postponement, while he
must be allowed to take exception to the view which as-
serted that the schedules and tables were interwoven
with the principle of the bill. However, although the
forms of the house would not allow him to lay the sche-
dule before the house until after the aecond reading, he

"To those who attended the lectures, the book will be a pleasant
reminiscence, to others an exciting novelty. The style—clear,
idiomatic, forcible, familiar, but never slovenly; the searching
strokes of sarcasm or irony ; the occasional flashes of generous scorn ;
the touches of pathos, pity, and tenderness ; the morality tempered,
but never weakened, by experience and sympathy ; the felicitous
phrases, the striking anecdotes, the passages of wise, practical reflec-
tion ; all these lose much less than we could have expected from the
absence of the voice, manner, and look of the lecturer."—Spectator.
" What fine things the lectures contain ! What eloquent and subtle
sayings, what wise and earnest writing ! How delightful are their
turns of humour; with what a touching effect, in the graver pas-
sages, the genuine feeling of the man comes out; and how vividly
the thoughts are painted, as it were, in graphic and characteristic
words."—Examiner.

POST-OFFICE,

Mr. WARNER wished to ask the Secretary to the
Treasury, whether the Government will be willing to
take into consideration the case of sorters and other per-
sons employed by the Post-office not being letter car-
riers, with a view to increasing their pay, in cases where
it may appear inadequate to the services they have to
pe.
Mr. WILSON said the Postmaster-General would e
quite ready to consider the case of the sorters.
SOAP DUTIES.
In reply to an Hon. IVIEmBER
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
was proposed to abolish the duty on the importation of
manufactured soap, but not the duty on the raw mate-
rial.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six,—As a subscriber to your paper I take the
liberty of calling your attention to the proposed increase
in the tobacco license, which, if carried, will raise my
license from ss. to 8/. is. 3d. per annum, which rather
than pay I would not sell tobacco, and I think many of
my brother victuallers would follow my example. As
you have exposed some of the inconsistencies of the
Budget, I hope, Sir, you will draw the attention of the
Licensed Victuallers to this extraordinary advance
in the tobacco license, that they may at once petition
against it. _

I sal, Sir, yours obediently,

THE LATE BURGLARY IN ST. ANN'S LANE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

It was stated on Saturday last in The Sun newspaper,
with reference to the recent robbery upon the premises
of Mr. Cutrnore, in St. Ann's-lane, City, that the
burglars broke in where Goddard, the gravedigger, kept
his tools. This is a misstatement. Mr. Goddard is not
gravedigger, but ward beadle and collector of rates for
the ward of Aldersgato and the parish of St. Ann and
Agnes. Trusting to your impartiality to correct this
error in a line or two in this day's impression, we beg to
remain your obliged,

THE TURKISH QUESTION.

In answer to the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, who
entered into the events which have lately taken place
in , Turkey, all of which have been detailed at great
length in the public prints, and asked for information
as to the present state of the negotiations,
The Earl of CLARENDON said that, as a portion of
the negotiations were still pending, he must decline to
furnish any information on the subject at present. He
might state, however, that her Majesty's Government
felt to the utmost the great importance of maintaining
the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, and from the com-
munications which he had had, he might assure their
lordships that that would be the guiding principle of the
policy of all the great European Powers towards Turkey.
The Turkish empire had nothing to fear from external
aggressions if the Porte would only pay greater atten-
tion to her internal policy, and more particularly to the
treatment of its Christian subjects. It was with a view
to pressing this subject on the attention of the Porte
that Lord Stratford had been ordered to repair to his
post at Constantinople, and a special character was for that
purpose given to.his mission. With regard to the mission
of Prince Menschikoff, it had reference to the question of
the Holy Shrines. The reports of disturbances having
occurred within the last few days were greatly exagge-
rated, if not wholly false, as a telegraphic dispatch had
been received from Lord Stratford, stating that, on the
14th instant, all was quiet at Constantinople. There
was not, he believed, the slightest danger of the peace
of Eurele being disturbed by any misunderstanding on
this question.

THE PENINSULAR MAIL•

The Peninsular and Oriental Compaq'
steam-
ship Tagus, Captain Joy, arrived at Southampton
yesterday, at twelve o'clock. s
Her dates are Gibralter 14th, Lisbon 19th, and
Vigo and Oporto 20th.
She brings sixty-six passengers, seven packages
specie value 2,400/., and cargo.
From Lisbon we learn that the Duke of Saldanha
will soon have to resign office, in consequence of
ill-health.
The Duke of Terceira will, is supposed, be
appointed in his stead.
Viscount Sade Bandeira is likely to be Minister
of Foreign Affairs.
The bill of indemnity is still in debate, and
speeches stretched through whole sittings.
The Bengal, which did not reach Gibraltar until
the 10th, was delayed by contrary winds in the
Channel, and other causes. She, however, made
during portions of her voyage as much as 15i
knots per hour. It is stated that scientific men
consider the fate of paddle-wheels now certain.
Lisbon 'exchange on London 544 for bills at 90
days' date.
The Lisbon exchanges are 5411. on London for
bills of 90 days ; Paris, 528 ; Amsterdam, 45i.;

Her Majesty's steamer Firebrand sailed on the
14th, in quest of a vessel in distress, and had not
returned.
The Teviot arrived on the 13th, and proceeded
to Rio on the 14th.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—In consequence of the indis-
position of Mr. Charles Kean, a temporary attraction
has been occasioned in the cast of Macbeth. On Friday
evening, the chief character was assumed by Mr. Ryder,
that of Macduff being delegated to Mr. Walter Lacy.
The Macbeth of Mr. Ryder produced no ordinary im-
pression on the audience, who testified, by cordial and
continual applause, their admiration of so impassioned,
judicious, and masterly a performance. A loud and
general recal at the conclusion of the play consummated
Mr. Ryder's triumph in his arduous undertaking, which
has reflected high and lasting credit upon him as a tra-
gedian, eminently enhanced his histrionic reputatiHe
on,
and materially advanced his professional position.
takes rank henceforward as a first-rate artiste. That an
excellent light comedian could signalise himself in such
a part as that of Macduff it would be unreasnoable to
expect, and Mr. Walter Lacy was, consequently, much
more at home in the concluding piece of the evening.
DOCKYARD.—'The electric telegraph-office in the dock-
yard has been closed, the building recently erected adja-
cent to the Commander-in-Chiefs office at Mount Wise
being available for both departments. Mr. Robert Laws,
storekeeper of Sheerness Dockyard, has arrived here to
explain the system of keeping accounts according to the
new Admiralty regulations promulgated on the 18th
instant,—Portsmoutl4 Time.
