ON TRUE az FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA,
with the View of distinguishing 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.PICKFORD. With an Introduction by the Editor, containing
a complate exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued
by the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are
oredulous 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 as, that he has addressed himself to the noa-medi-
sal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which It may be in his power to cor-
rect."--London Medical Gazette. "The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
and 'Medical Friends,' aro mercilessly exposed; and if this book
could find its way into the bands of those who stiffer from the com-
plaint of 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-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do couch good."

that the sacrifice of human beings, either for the sake of Burial Fees

and that an urgent necessity exists for some energetic measures on
the part of the Government ror the suppression of this gambling with
life. This inquiry has been intrusted t y the proprietors of the Illus-

STATE OF TRADE.

(Front the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)

MANCHESTER, Tuesday, Jan. 29.—The growing per-
suasion that peace will be restored by the negotiations
which are about to commence bas imparted additional
spirit to our market to-day. This bas shown itself more
particularly in yarns, which are generally dearer than
they were at the latter end of last week, when a well-
defined advance bad been obtained. If we carry our
comparison back to this day week, we find that sellers
have gained a positive advantage of fully per pound :
to a large extent, they ask ; realising it, however,
but partially. Since the announcement of the Austrian
propositions, when a turn was given to the then weak-
ening prices, the rise in the quotations ranges from id.
to 3d. per pound, and that which is realised may be stated
at Ad. to gd. The greatest improvement has taken place
in 16's to 30's water twist, in 30's pincops, and in 24's
warps; and, in the next degree, in the German civility
of 40's mule, and in 16's warps. The buyers hive followed
the sellers more freely to-day than they did before ; the
German and Dutch houses still taking the lead very de-
cidedly, followed by the home consumers, and very spar-
ingly by the India merchants. The inactivity of the
Greeks leaves the lower counts of yarns in the rear of the
middle numbers as regards prices. Buyers find spinners
mostly without stocks, and indeed very largely under con-
tract—a position of things which prevents many orders
from being executed. The rise in cotton is about equal.
to that in yarn. Goods do not keep pace with yarns in
the course of improvement. The manufacturers are not
so well supplied with orders as the spinners are, though
for the most part pretty well situated in that respect ;
and the present demand for the one is not equal to that
for the other. The rise in skirtings and in double print-
ing cloths and madapollams is consequently not ad- per
piece, though that is asked, but may be taken as cer-
tainly lid. since the present movement began. Certain
kinds ct long cloths have risen in about an equal degree,
but domestics lag behind. The India merchants expect
their letters in a couple of days.
There is nothingpar-
ticular in the telegraphic notice.
HUDDERSFIELD, Jan. 29.—Tbe market this morning,
so far as the Cloth Hall is concerned, has been,
we
think, an improvement upon those of recent weeks.
The attendance of buyers from wholesale houses has not
been large, however, and this circumstance would appear
to speak well for the present position and prospects of
our local trade. Low goods have been in good demand,
as also black and various descriptions of fancy doeskins,
both in the Cloth Hall and warehouses. Prices remain
unaltered, with a tendency to firmness. The wool
market continues without alteration ; the principal ma-
nufacturing houses having laid in stocks some time ago,
which have kept them out of the market now for some
time. The spring patterns in fancy trouserings are We
belioves liagetilag with quite au average noon.
