QUACKS UNMASKED

The Third Edition.—Just published, price 55., by post, free, ss. 6d.
ON TRUE dz FALSE SPERMATORRH(EA,
with .the View of diatinguishing the Imaginary from the
Real Sufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure. From the German
of Dr. PICRFORD. With an Introduction by the Editor, containing
a complete exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued
by the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are
credulous enough to seek their aid.
" 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 noa-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his =ower to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers,'
and 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; arid if this book
could and its way into the hands of those who stiffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we aro 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
e-npirical 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."

SPEECH OF ESPARTERO.

General Espartero on taking possession of the
chair, as president, delivered the following
speech
" Gentlemen and Deputies—l am grateful with all
my heart for the unexampled honour which the Cortes
have conferred on me by nominating me their president.
I regret not to have the talent necessary to fulfil such im-
portant functions, but I count on the kindness and indul-
gence of the deputies, and on the standing orders to which
I will be always faithful. Gentlemen, the country
counts on your efforts, on your virtue, and on your wis-
dom to draw up laws which shall consolidate its rights,
by destroying the abases, which had been introduced
into the government of the State. Adopt such laws—
the Queen will have great pleasure in accepting, and the
nation in executing them. As for myself, gentlemen, I
will always obey them, because I have constantly desired
that the national will should be executed, and because I
am confident that, without obedience to the laws, liberty
is impossible. • I propose to the Constituent Cortes a
vote of thanks to my friend and comrade General Evaristo
San Miguel, and to the other members of the ad interim
bureau for the manner in which they have fulfilled their
functions."

ADVANTAGES OF THH SMOKE ACT.—It is stated by
Mr. Wright, C.E., Government inspector for the smoke
nuisance, that there are upwards of three millions of tons
of coals annually imported into London by sea and by
railway, and further, that at least one million of this
quantity is annually consumed for manufacturing and
furnace purposes, and it is a well-known fact, established
by practice, that by the better consumption of smoke,
and obtaining more perfect combustion, 20 per cent. of
fuel is saved ; hence 20 per cent. of one million tons
amounts to two hundred thousand tons of coal saved an-
nually to the nation, and that, at an average cost of 11.
per ton, is 200,0001. saved to the metropolitan proprie-
tors of furnaces and manufactories, which would other-
wise pass off in smoke, contaminating the atmosphere ;
but by this calculation, he asserts, becomes a twofold
and total saving to the nation of 400,0001. per annum,
and that without regarding it in a sanitary point of
view, for as already the improved appearance of the
London atmosphere is distinctly observable, as it is un-
necessary to point out the injury inflicted upon the pub-
lic health, or the pecuniary loss we sustain in the appa-
rently trivial matters of snap, and wear and te'r of
linen, &c., by the deposit of the large amount of carbo-
naceous matter always present in the atmosphere, inas-
much as smoke cooled is soot, but when heated to 600
deg. Fahrenheit becomes highly inflammable gas, and is
consumed ; therefore, every wreath of smoke that curls
up a chimney is fuel wasted.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

The sittings of the Court for the November adjourned
session were resumed yesterday morning at the Guild-
hail, Westminster, before Mr. Serjeant Adams, Assist-
ant• Judge, and a bench of magistrates, by adjournment
from Clerkenwell.

The Assistant-Judge briefly charged the grand jury.
Jo7sn Winter, 29, clerk and collector, was indicted for
having embezzled three sums of money which he had
received in his capacity of servant to Richard Staines.
He pleaded guilty.
Tho Assistant-Judge sentenced him to hard labour for
15 months.
John Adams, 50, dealer, was indicted for having stolen
a picture frame and other articles, the property of
Samuel Archbutt and others. He was further charged
with having feloniously received the same, well knowing
them to be stolen. -

1188 W. 1,.•
The jury, after some deliberation, found the prisoner
guilty of receiving the frame, knowing it to be stolen.
Mr. Metcalfe asked for a postponement of the sen-
tence. The value of the property taken was something
close upon 2,0001., and the prisoner, no doubt, could
give some information respecting it. He might be dis-
posed to do so before the Court passed its sentence upon
him, if a suggestion were made to him.
The Assistant-Judge said he could do no more than
simply say the prisoner stood remanded.
The prisoner was then removed.
William Henley, 35, omnibus conductor, was indicted
for stealing a passport case, containing 601. in notes,
the property of William Dunn.
The prosecutor was a gentleman residing at No. 2,
Berkeley-place, Connaught. square, and it appeared that
on the afternoon of the 13th ult. he rode from the Bank
to Paddington-grove in an omnibus, of which it was
said the prisoner was the conductor. While in the
vehicle he lost his pocket-book, containing 601. in notes,
a bill drawn on an Indian merchant, &c., and on seeing
the prisoner subsequently, the latter denied all knowledge
of it or the prosecutor, although he wore on the occasion
a large blue cloak. The principal witness was one of the
passengers, a Mrs. Missen, who said she picked the case
up, and asked the passengers whose it was, when the
prisoner said it was his and she handed it to him. He
opened it, and she saw it contained a small roll of paper.
A reward was offered, and she went next day to the
prosecutor and told him this, rind they kept a look
out, and the prisoner was pointed out by her as the
man. Afterwards she greatly equivocated as to his
identity.
Mr. Ballantine urged upon the jury that oven ad-
mitting the case to be one of suspicion, the evidence
was such that no jury would be safe in acting upon
it, and he appealed to them not to consign a man
of honest, honourable, and good character as the
prisoner was, to utter ruin and destruction upon such
vague and flimsy evidence as had been adduced against
him.
The jury, after a short consultation, acquitted the
prisoner.

ENTRY OF SEAMEN.

Yesterday a number of first-class seamen were entered
for her Majesty's steam-vessels E4k, Cossack, and Tartar
at the Royal Naval Rendezvous, Tower-hill ;20 were
sent to the Cossack alone. A number of men were
entered for the Perseverance troop-ship. The entry of
landsmen to be instructed as seamen gunners on board

WOOLWICH, Dee. 4.—The Sinbad, recently mounted
with a 13-inch mortar, embedded on a plan submitted
by Captain Julius Roberts, proceeded to Greenhithe,
and having taken on board her powder, shot, and shell,
is under orders to go down the river, and with the
Drake, mortar vessel, test the new plan by firing on the
long range of sands off Shoeburyness.

(Translation.)

Fregate la Fort., Sept. 6, 1854.
M. le Commandant,—lf the disembarkment
has not been fortunate, it is owing to difficulties of
the soil, and if our men have been obliged. to re-
embark, we have at least acquired the certainty
that the two nations can depend on each other,
and that if circumstances place us in the presence
of the enemy our efforts will be crowned with
success.

Our crews, little accustomed to fight on shore,
showed great ardour. Receive, M. le Command-
ant, my acknowledgments, and transmit them to
your captains, officers, and men, and I shall be
happy to inform the Government of the courage,
the discipline, and the devotion which they showed.

F. PONTES,
Rear-Admiral in command of the French naval
Forces.

(Copy.)
H.M.S. Ship Pique,
Petrapaulski, Sept. 6, 1854.
Sir,—lt is with great satisfaction that I have re-

ceived the letter which you have done me the honour
is to address me, in which you mention in high terms
the conduct of our men while engaged on shore
with the enemy.
Allow me, Sir, to convey to you the heartfelt
thanks of every officer and man in the British squa-
dron for the expression of your good opinion.
I hoar from all quarters the highest praise of the
ardent courage of your men while advancing, and
of their coolness and discipline during the retreat,
remarkable qualities in seamen, who are, as 104
truly observe, unaccustomed to shore operations.
Allow me to take this opportunity of expressing
my deep sympathy, for the losses sustained among
the officers and men of your squadron.
I have, &c.,
(signed) F. W. E. NICHOLSON,
Captain and Senior Officer.

THE BALTIC FLEET.

KIEL, Nov. 29.
On the 27th the Vulture took despatches to the
squadron cruising off Dago, supposed to be recall-
ing them. On the 28th the Euryalus made her
appearance in the offing, but was unable, to enter
the harbour, in consequence of the thickness of the
weather. She, however, came in this morning,
with a most dilapidated look about her bows. Her
head, figure-head, and cutwater have been com-
pletely knocked away by collision with the Im-
perieuse ; the copper bolts are sticking out in all
directions, and the stump of her bowsprit is just
seen where it was broken off. She left the rest of
the cruisers all safe on the 18th ; the, weather has
been so bad they have not ventured up to Helsing-
fors. Large quantities of ice float about the en-
trance to the Gulf of Finland, and it is deemed ad-
visable that all ships should leave that part of the
Baltic, and come to Kiel immediately. They will
be here in two or three days. The Basilisk was
cruising off Bornholm. The weather hero is very
severe ; snow, sleet, and rain, with S.W. winds.

THE "NAVVIES" FOR THE CRIMEA.

Yesterday having been appointed for the selection
navvies, platelayers, and others accustomed to railway
of
work, to proceed to the Crimea for the purpose of
con-
structing a tramway from Balaklava to the intren
znents of the Allies, and such other works as may be
considered necessary, the temporary offices in the 'Water
100-road were crowded to excess from an early hour.
The selection commenced at 11 o'clock, and, notwith-
standing that each applicant had to produce testimonials
of ability and steadiness, in little better than three hours
the contractors had obtained a sufficient number.
At half-past 2 o'clock the office doors were closed, and
the following notice posted :—" No more men are re-
quired."

GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY.—In additional evidence by
Sir Cusack Roney, before the Railway Committee of the
Legislative Assembly of Canada, 3rd Nov., 1854, we
find it stated that the expenditure of the Grand Trunk
during the months of August, September, and October
last, was about one million sterling, or at the rate of
12,000/, for each working day. From this the share-
holders will understand the great extent of the operations,
and the vigour with which they are being prosecuted.
W° believe the Canadians are perfectly amazed at the
Power of execution exhibited by the English contractors.
