"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 non-medi-
cal 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 tribe of 'Quiet Sympa-
thisers,' and ' Medical Friends,'are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could and its way into the hands of those who stiffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
tie 'aved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much noney --This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to placs the treat-

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A communication from Bucharest of Jan. 19,
says, the Turks, although abstaining from great
operations, give the Russians no rest. On the
15th and 16th a heavy firing was kept up from
Rustchuk against Giurgevo, and an attack was
made on the island, there. The result is not yet
known. On the same day the Turks made attacks
near Oltenitza and Kalarasch. News of the same
kind reaches us from Silistria and Turtukai, and
fighting is again going on near Matshin. The
Russian troops on their march are allowed no rest ;
even yesterday, the 18th, although it is a great
festival in the Greek Church they were compelled
to advance.

THE LOWER HOUSE.

In the Lower House, after prayers, the Dean of ELT,
who acted as Prolocutor, suggested the propriety of ap-
pointing a committee of? privileges to determine what
was the proper course of proceeding for the house to ob-
serve. The standing orders of Convocation, as they
stood, were quite inadequate to meet the contingencies
of the present time.
Dr. SPRY, in accordance with this suggestion, moved
that a committee be appointed to consider and report on
the privileges and modes of proceeding of the house,
and how far it might be expedient to make any standing
orders consistent with the ancient practice of the house.
The Archdeacon of LEWES seconded the motion.
The resolution, after some discussion, was put and
carried unanimously, and the list of members settled.
Dr. WORDSWORTH proposed the formation of a com-
mittee to consider and report upon schedules of grava-
mina and refornzanda tendered by members of the house.
If the Lower Hquse was to do business and do it well,
it could not be done in the house by passion or contro-
versy, but in committees, where calm judgment could
be exercised. To try the point, Dr. Wordsworth placed
a schedule drawing attention to the right of the Lower
House of Convocation to make a representation of grie-
vances to the Upper, and to the fact that by the census
it appeared that 5,000,000 of the population absented
themselves on the Sabbath day from public worship.
Considerable discussion then took place, and Dr.
Wordsworth's motion was finally adopted unanimously
in the followng form :—" That a committee of this house
be formed to consider such schedules of gravamina and
reformanda as may be referred by this house to it, and
report thereon to this house."

Archdeacon DENISON drew attention to the want of
professional training for candidates for holy orders. There
was nothing to debar a man from entering into holy or-
ders at present but the existence of any notorious crime,
and he read to the house two resolutions to the terms of

LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1854.

M. DB KISSBLEFF took his departure from Paris
yesterday evening, and M. DT Baurrow his from
London this morning. Instructions are known
to have been already forwarded by their re-
spective Governments to M. DE CASTELBAJAC
and Sir G. H. SEYMOUR, recalling them from St.
Petersburg. Beyond all which, it is now posi-
tively asserted that the proposals entrusted by
the CZAR to Count ORLOFF, with a view to open-
ing up fresh negotiations, have been at once re-
cognised as inadmissable by the French and British
Administrators. Wherefore, a decisive rupture
has at last taken place between the Western Allies
of Turkey and his Imperial Majesty the Russian
AUTOCRAT. No more positive indication of this
rupture could be given than by the withdrawal of
tb'e diplomatic Representatives of the Emperor
NICHOLAS from the Courts of St. James's and the
Tuileries almost simultaneously with the
retirement, from St. Petersburg, of the French
and English Ambassadors. War, under these
circumstances, cannot any longe,r be consi-
dered as probable, but as having actually com-
menced—. War, that is to say, between England
and France, on the one side, and Russia as their
antagonist, It is no longer a matter of rumour,
but of fact. We are not left merely to anticipate,
but simply to observe_ to observe the course
taken by sea and by land by the belligerents.
The struggle is no more one of the closet, but of
the battle-field—no more one of paper-pellets, but
of bomb-shells—no more one of diplomacy, but of
ordnance. It cannot any longer be audible in
the Ministerial clamour of notes, and sends, and
ultimatums, and similar documents, but in the
roar of a cannonade. Our expectations have
thus been, unhappily, to the full realised. Our
predictions have been deplorably verified. Eleven
months of culpable weakness and hesitation
followed, not, as was
have been promised, by a
pacification, but by a deadly strife between the
chief Powers of Christendom—by a strife no longer
restricted to Moldo-Wallachia, but extended far
beyond the frontiers of those ill-fated Principalities,
until it has at last involved in a great European
war the arch-representatives of Despotism and of
Constitutional Govermient—of Barbarism and of li
Civilisation.

It is worthy of observation, meanwhile, that
materials have at last been given to the world,
from the scrutiny of which a correct estimate
may be formed of the policy hitherto pur-
sued in this Eastern Question by the
Coalition. A ponderous blue-book, containing
all the various documents relating to it, has at
length been laid, by command of her MAJESTY,
upon the tables of both Houses of the Legislature.
Therefore, before long we may now confidently

MOVEMENTS OF THE COMBINED F LEETS.
We are in poSsession of authentic accounts re-
specting the movement of the combined fleets, up
to the 15th instant. The expedition, with troops
and munitions, had safely arrived at Batoum,
touching at Sinop° on the 14th, on its return. It
there communicated to the combined fleets that an
attack of the Russian fleet was much dreaded at
Batoum ; and then it returned without delay to
Constantinople, the wind being favourable, in order
to take in fresh troops and ammunition. This ex-
pedition consisted of six Turkish and six Anglo-
French vessels. On the morning of the 14th a di-
vision of the combined fleets weighed anchor, and
set sail for Batoutn. The remainder of the fleet
was left at Sinope. In the afternoon of the same
day two steamers were sent to Batomn to signalise,
and one ,steamer was despatched to Constantinople.
It was not deemed impossible that on Via way to
Batoum the combined fleet might meet with Rus-
siita men-of-war. Taking into calculation, how-
ever, the respective distances and dates, no news
of such an event could have reached Constantinople
by the 16th ; and even later dates—that is, of the
19th—have come to hand.

THE THAMES TUNNEL.

Mr. A. PELLATT wished to ask the Commissioner
of Works whether her Majesty's Ministers contemplate
making the Thames Tunnel available for carriage and
heavy traffic, for which it is designed ; and if not, whe-
ther they would instruct their engineer to ascertain the
cost of constructing inclines for suitable approaches, and
also to estimate the probable annual value of the tolls.
Mr. WILSON replied that the Thames Tunnel was
private, not public property. It was true that about
250,000 k had been lent for the purpose of completing,
the works, but he was afraid that sum would never be re-
paid. (A laugh.) He could not, therefore, recommend
the Government to undertake the works alluded to ; but
h d no doubt any information relating to the, tunnel,
which the hon. member might wish for, he could obtain
from the engineer to the Thames Tunnel.
THE WRECK OF THE TAYLEUR. •

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.—James Daniel Lysaglit, who
has undergone several examinations on the charge of
having forged a bill for 301., with the intent to defraud
the London Joint Stock Bank, was committed for trial
at the Central Criminal Court.

Henry Hall was committed for having picked the
pocket of Michael Haydon, the dexterous detective officer
of the City force of a silk handkerchief.
The prosecutor felt a tug, and asked the prisoner, who
was next to him, whether he had the handkerchief, an
imputation which was indignantly denied by the fellow,
who puffed the smoke of a cigar into the officer's face,
and was immediately compelled to deliver up the pro-
perty.

- The prisoner—l was starving, and the gentleman be•
lieved so, for he bought me a loaf and some cheese.

GUILDHALL.—Robert Thomas Conlin, a part pro-
prietor and conductor of one of the Kennington and
Islington omnibuses, was summoned before Sir R. W.
Carden, charged with unlawfully refusing to carry com-
plainanant in his omnibus, there being room therein at
the time.

Mr. Thomas Houlston, the publisher, of Paternoster-
row, said he was standing with Mrs. Houlston at the
end of St. Martin's-le-Grand, near the corner of New-
gate-street, and hailed the defendant as he was ap-
proaching the Post-office from St. Paul's-churchyard.
The defendant saw him, and beckoned him to follow
the omnibus a few yards, and he stopped a short dis-
tance further. Complainant ran after the vehicle, and
saw the defendant let out one lady and admit three
more, aad on his applying for admission, the defen-
dant said the omnibus was full. Complainant said he
was sure the defendant's master would not allow him to
refuse passengers in that manner, upon which the de-
fendant said he was the proprietor, and complainant
said he would summon him.
The defendant said he was not allowed to stop in the
middle of the road, as he must have done when com-
plainant hailed him, but he directed his driver to draw
into the near side to take him up, but other people who
were waiting crowded round the door, and he could
not prevent the three ladies from getting in.
Sir R. W. Carden said defendant had been guilty of
an offence, in not stopping when hailed, and when he
did stop, it was his duty to have kept places for those
who hailed him first.

----
Defendant was then fined 20s. and costs, which he
paid.

THE WAGES MOVEMENT IN DEVONSHlRE.—Notwith-
standing the advances which have in many instances
been made in the wages of various artisans in the west,
there still continue to be strikes, which, though not of
so much importance as those in the north, produce great
inconvenience and mischief. During the past week the
men in the employ of Mr. J. Cock, at Northmolton,
struck for an advance of wages. They were engaged in
an extensive contract into which he had entered with
the Poltimore Gold and Copper Mining Company. Their
wages were only 12s. a week, but the complaint is that
they took advantage of their employer being particularly
busy to " strike," and, consequently to cause him great
loss. The Government riggers at Devonport have me-
moralised the Admiralty for an advance of 6d. per day.
Their present wages are 188., and 16s. 6d. second class.

There is a notice of the " Memoirs of Moore"
met with in this magazine. It is remarked that
those who read these volumes will not only admire
Moore, but will also love " Bessey," and that the
latter will have the consciousness of knowing that
while " the world from generation to generation
will honour the poet, they will respect the best
friend who ever lived in the poet's warm heart."
The account of the Lady Elizabeth's imprisonment
at Woodstock is concluded here, and it is probable
many will be entertained by its perusal. It throws
some light on one of the dark passages of history,
and renders more explicit what has hitherto been
rather confused. Elizabeth herself did not bear
ill-will to Sir Henry Beddingfield, for he
appeared at the court, and the only allusion
she ever made to the past was to style him jest-
ingly her jailor. " Shrines and Images of the
Virgin Mary" presents us with the history and
origin of the different shrines in her honour; and
on a future occasion the writer of these intends to
furnish us with an account of the celebrated shrines
in Europe which yet attract pilgrims to their altars.
