t. IN TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORREREA,
I with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
`n relation to the Treatmeut and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
O merative System, or Sexual flypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD

"Dr. Plchtore 's known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
Mine, he informs as, that be has addressed himself to the nos-medl-
reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall .letect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his .ower to correct."
—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. The tribeof 'Quiet Sympa-
hisers,' and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the corn-
-daint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
'ess importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
•nuch money...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrheea, 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.

CARDINAL WISEMAN IN ROME.—accounts from Rome
speak of the Cardinal having delivered an impassioned
address in one of the great churches in the eternal city, on
the subject of his re-visiting Rome after a lengthened ab-
sence in this country. The audience on the occasion was
most numerous, and included, besides a vast concourse of
the inhabitants of Rome, a great number of visitors from
England and other parts of the world. The history
of ancient as well as modern Rome, formed the subject
of one of the most elaborate harangues ever delivered by
this eminent ecclesiastic of the Roman Catholic Church.
It is further stated that an important additional degree
of honour has been conferred upon the Cardinal by his
Holiness the Pope, in regard to the government
of the spiritual affairs of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Cardinal is expected to leave Rome shortly on his
return to England, for the purpose of resuming his
ecclesiastical functions of this country.

LONDON.

A fatal case of cholera has occurred in Martin-street,
Friar-street, St. George's, Southwark. The death took
place on the 27th September, but the body is not yet
buried, although there are four more inmates in the
same house. _ _

--A
great amount of diarrhoea, in many cases of a cho-
leraic character, prevails in the neighbourhood. A
severe case of this nature has just occur ed in Great
Tower-street.

Dr. Meijer, the eommissioner from the French Go-
vernment, accompanied by Dr. Sutherland, one of the
medical inspectors of the General Board of Health,
examined the infected districts of Newcastle. Heac-
companied the medical officers in the house-to-house
examination in the system introduced by the board, and
stated that he was thoroughly satisfied with it. But he
expressed his extreme surprise at witnessing the condi-
tion of the population in the lowest districts of the town.
He had been called upon to visit some of the worst con-
ditioned of the French towns, but he had never seen
anything so bad in structure as the houses and arrange-
ments of the worst and most severely visited portions of
Newcastle, or as the state of filth in whibli the popula-
tion there existed.

SHERIFFS COURT-(THIS DAY.)

(Before A. Ryland, Esq.)
IMPORTANT TO EXECUTORS.-MASSRT AND OTHERS

V. CIITCHLEY.

This was an action brought by the plaintiffs as execu-
tors of a Mr. Massey, sen., patentee of the Patent Logs
and Sounding Machines for the Royal Navy, to recover
the sum of 191. 13s. 7d. for goods sold.
Mr. W. R. Buchanan admitted the delivery of the
goods, and the defendant was willing to pay all that
was justly due, but the present form of the proceedings
did not admit of the merits coming before the court, he
must therefore, submit that, as to the first item in the
account of 161., the goods were sold by the deceased,
Mr. Massey, and accounts delivered were made out as
for goods sold and delivered by the executors. As to the
remaining items he objected that the particulars were
insufficient, for there had been a current account extend.
ing over many months, and if the plaintiffs, who adopted
the business, charged for omissions in the bills, they,
were bound to send in a general debtor and creditor ac-
count.

His Honour concurred on both points, and the plain-
tiff elected to be nonsutted.

Mr. Buchanan said that he had a good defence on th•
merits.

Serious fears are entertained of the health of the
Princess Nicholas Esterhazy. Dr. Seymour left Loudon
on Wednesday to consult with her Highness's German
physicians at Frankfort, where the Princess is at pre-
sent staying.
The Right Hon. Sir James Graham is, we hear, en
route from his official visit to the ports in Ireland to re-
lieve Lord John Russell, in attendance on her Majesty
at Balmoral, and will accompany her Majesty on her
departure from Scotland for Windsor Castle, which is
at present fixed for the 12th instant.
ENGLISH OPERA.—It is said, on good authority, that
another attempt to establish an English opera—or, to
speak more correctly, an opera in English—will be
made early in the coming year. The contracting and
co-operating parties named are Madame Novello, Miss
L. Pyne, Mr. and Mrs. Sims Reeves, and Mr.• Weiss.
It is added that sufficient means are forthcoming to give
the experiment a fair chance of succeee.—Atheitceum.

BELGIUM.

The Belgian Minister of War has just decided
that the new uniform lately introduced into the
Belgian army, and worn by the 6th regiment of
the line, is to become the general dress of the Bel-
gian infantry, with this
_exception, that the buttons
are to be of silk in place of metal. This new uni-
form, as already stated, exceedingly resembles that
worn by the Austrian infantry.
