in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

‘' Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other squally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcca and the
various forms of disease which resemble It are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

to appoint, but who as an officer would be inefficient be-
cause of his want of military knowledge. Again, they might
have a man with great efficiency and military knowledge,
but who would 'have no influence in strengthening the
numbers of the regiment. In such cases ho had always
felt that every consideration should be given to the lord-
lieutenant in making the selectionv; but he (Mr. S. Her-
bert) had always insisted, wben the lord-lieutenant made

omsome kind of examination. That was a good principle no
doubt, and if always insisted upon would induce officers to
learn their drill, and fit themselves for their duties ; but the
application of it was not easy. Well, officers on the perma-
nent staff—adjutants, and so on—had also been allowed to
send their sons to Sandhurst, receiving in this way all the
advantages which attached to officers of their rank. He
would pass over minor details as to the facilities for appre-
hending and punishing deserters, merely observing that
militia men frequently had it in their heads that desertion
from the militia was no crime, and that to desert and to en-
list in the line was, on the contrary, rather a praiseworthy
act—for they argued to their own minds that, although thby
took the two bounties, they entered for a new and a longer
period of service. This it was necessary to cheek, and this
-was the object of some of the minor changes. There was
another alteration which was not exactly in accordance with
the recommendations of the commission. The commission
recommended that good conduct pay should be allowed after
five years; but there was this difficulty : good conduct pay
was one penny a day while the men were under training,
but a penny a day for 28 days in the year was scarcely worth
their having ; and the Government could not go so far as to
give a penny a day during the whole year, the greater por-
tion of which the men would be at their homes. Therefore,
he (Mr Herbert) thought it better to give every man who
re-enrolled at the end of the five years 10s. in addition
to the bounty; and he was given to understand that
this arrangement was working well. Besides this, they
gave to every man who re-enrolled a ft ee kit,
or if their old kit was tolerably perfect they were allowed
to have the value of the new .one in money. Their school
fees were abolished and schoolmasters were allowed free. All
these changes tended to the advantage of the men, and to
the improvement of their position. There were certain
things proposed to be done by this bill. First, they desired
to have the power of uniting in maritime counties portions of
the counties for the purpose of forming artillery corps, as
was done now in the North Riding of Yorkshire, so that if
they had not enough for two battalions, and too much for
one, the surplus might be joined to the force of another
county to make tip an efficient artillery corps in that county.
For that purpose no machinery was required beyond ;what
they had for the amalgamation of counties for militia ob-
jects generally. The difficulty was as to the union of coun-
ties for the purposes of stores. That he had attempted to
get over by adopting the same principle which existed
under the act for establishing county lunatic asylums, viz,
leaving it to bo decided, by a joint committee of the magis-
trates of the united counties, where the stores should be
placed, and upon what terms. There was a further power
with regard to the counties recommended by the militia
commission, which he was sorry did not receive the sanc-
tion of his right hon. friend opposite, but which he thought
upon the whole would be advantageous to the militia, the
'counties, and the Government. That power was that the
county authorities should build accommodation for the per-
manent staff, and the Government on their side should pay a
fair interest on the outlay. This was not to be compulsory, but
he could see no objection to it, and he thought in many cases
the counties would be able to make a good bargain by build-
ing the necessary accommodation themselves, while the Go-
vernment on the other hand would not pay more than they
would do if that accommodation were provided in other
ways. Of course the power of training was limited to 6 days,
but if the men were brought up beforehand for 10 or 14
days, there was no doubt the time would be much better
spent afterwards, and a more efficient drill would be ob-
tained. It had been proposed that the men should be
trained immediately after enrolment. He doubted the
policy of that proceeding. It would add much to the ex-
pense, and would not operate as a check on fraudulent
enlistment. Power was taken in the bill to increase the
Scotch and Irish militia, in the same proportion as they had
power to increase the militia in England, in case of danger
of invasion. In England the 80,000 might be brought up
to 120,000. He proposed to take power to increase the
Scotch militia from 5,000 to 10,000, and the Irish from
15,000 to 30,000 ; mt.king the total force 120,000 in peace,
and 180,000 in war. The commission had recommended
that the permanent staff should be put permanently on
embodied pay. Since that recommendation was made, the
movement in favour of volunteers had greatly modified the
necessity for keeping sergeants of militia. The year was a
palmy year for non-commissioned officers. They might
command any sums for giving instructions in drill ; and
those whom they taught had certainly profited by their in-
structions. (Hear.) Certainly no one who was in Hyde-
park on Saturday last would say that they lamented the
existing demand for non-commissioned officers ; for it had
supplied one of the most striking spectacles that had been
seen for years. (Hear.) He proposed in the Militia Pay
Bill, to put the permanent staff upon embodied militia pay.
(Hear.) He only proposed one other change, and that
would be effected by regulation, not by the bill. They ob-
tained field officers and captains ;and lieutenants without
any difficulty; but there was the greatest difficulty in get-
ting ensigns. The result was that they had gone rather
below the proper class for ensigns. It would be easy
enough to get them in time of war, if the regiments were
embodied, however difficult it might be in time of peace.
If they got a parcel of raw lads as ensigns during
the twenty-eight days' training, they were more trouble
than they were worth. He proposed, in disembodied regi-
ments, to allow the existing ensigns to remain, but not to
fill up the vacancies. At present there were 66 deficient in
the embodied, and 601 in the disembodied regiments. In
lieu of them he proposed that there should be two extra
lieutenants to carry the colours in each regiment. Their
duty was to keep to the tradition of the militia as it was,
and see whether it could not be got into a much more effi-
cient state. (Hear, hear.) He believed that it had been dis•
Curbed and injured by constant interference with what was
the old militia law. If circumstances at home and abroad
would allow them to revert to the old practice, and keep the
militia as a reserve at home, it would much increase its effi-
ciency, by increasing the confidence of the men that they
would be allowed to remain disembodied.

committee sitting in reference to the British. Mnsento.
The motion was then agreed to.
COIIIiUPT PRACTICES AMENDMENT ACT.

Sir G. C LEWIS said it would be in the recollection of
the house that a committee was appointed to inquire into
the operation of the Corrupt Practices Act. That erjiumit.
tee examined a number of witnesses, and atzreed to some
recommendations, many of which went •to't-u`*west cone?,
.clerable alterations in the provisions of nib Corrupt Prac-
tices Act. It seemed to be the wish of members of the
house that Government should introduce a bill in the pre•.
sent ses.,ion founded upon that report, and he had accord-
ingly examined with care the recommendations of the re-
ports, it d "preparCd a. bill, 'which he would now, with the
pertuis,ion of the house, lay on the table. It was framed

upoh the plau of the Corrhpt Pi-actices Act, amending, it in

the foamier which the committee doomed desirable. 'lbws
was another reeunnuentlation of the -committee, which re-
ferred to Commissions of Inquiry into Corrupt Practices,
which•ho hid not thought dosirabla.b introduce into this
bill, but that would be made the subject of another bill.
Whether it was possible to pass this bill during the present
session seemed doubtful, but if it did not pass it would be
necessary to bring in a bill to continue the Corrupt Prac-
tices Act.

Leave given to bring in the bill.
LOCOMOTIVE BILL.
On the order of the day for going into committee on this
bill,
•

Mr. D. GRIFFITH complained that the bill had been,
reconstructed, and two clauses had been entirely omitted.
The house then went into committee.

On clause 4,

Mr. BOUVEILIE said this clause proposed to enforce
upon the nome6office the duty of issuing badgesfor locomo-
tive carriages, and registering their weight. He asked why
. the. dtity should be thrown upon the Home-office ? lie
should move for the rejection of the clause unless the right
hint -gentleman agreed to accept the duty.
Sir G. C. LE WIS said it certainly was an innovation that
the Home-office should undertake duties usually performed
by the Coniniissioners of police—(hear, hear)—by issuing
badges and keeping a register of locomotive engines. If he
might anticipate the next clause, however, he thought it
would be desirable that some power of regulating the use of
locomotive engines of a particular size and form shOuld
vested in the same office of the Government. He should,
however, support the motion for the omission of the 4th
clause.

Colonel PENNANT supported the view that the ll:me-
office should have some power of veto upon locomotive en.
glues, which might do damage to public roads.
Mr. AYRTON pointed out the difficulties under which
the Home-office would labour if it attempted to exercise the
powers proposed to be conferred upon it by this bill. He
thought they should simply enact that locomotive engines of
an injurious character should not be used upon roads ; and
give powers of inspection and control over these engines to
the local magistrates.

Mr. GMtNETT said there could be no difficulty about
relieving the Home-office from a duty which they were un-
willing to -undertake. He thought, however, there could
be no objection to placing outside every locomotive engine a
statement of its weight, whether that statement was to be
verified by a Government certificate or not.

Mr. STEUART suggested that the discussion could be
postponed. He himself had proposed an amendment,
which he had been only able to hand in a few hours pre-
viously. He thought a very dangeroust principle would be
introduced into the bill if the authority of the Home-office
were not to be applied to the working of the measure.
After some further discussion the clause was omitted.
On clause 5,

Sir G. LEWIS, in answer to Mr. Steuart, said he saw
no objection to the Secretary of State exercising the powers
which it was proposed to confer' upon him.
Mr. tOUVERIE observed that they did not attempt to
put down larceny by giving the Secretary of State power to
prohibit it; but they punished those who were guilty of
the offence. In like manner, what they wanted was to
make the employment of dangerous locomotives, or of loco-
motives. causing excessive wear and tear to the roads, penal,
With a view to carry out this suggestion, he would move
to omit the words—" It appears to one of her Majesty's
principal Secretaries of State."

Col. W. PATTEN thought the clause was necessary to
the carrying out the provisions of the bill.

After a few words from Sir G. C. Lewis, the amendment
was negatived.

Mr. DILLWYN moved that the clause be omitted.
Mr. J. LOCKE supported the dame.
After some discussion,
Mr. BOITVERIE moved that the Chairman do leave the

chair.

The house divided, when the numbers were—

The clause was then agreed to, and the Chairman re-
ported progress. •

SALE OF' GAS ACT AMENDMENT (No. 2) BILL.
Mr. S. ESTCOURT moved the second reading of this bill
Under the present state of the la* the greatest uncertainty
prevailed, to the great injury of the manufacturers of gas
meters, and it was to remedy that uncertainty he intro-
duced the present bill. He admitted that the bill in its pre-
sent shape was imperfect, because he brought it in in great
haste, under the pressure of shortness of time, but he
trusted that in the course of a few days it would be made
more perfect.

The bill was then read a second time, and referred to a
se ect committee.

Colonel PATTEN had heard the speech of the right hon.
gentleman with great pleasure. There was no doubt the de-
ficiency in the disembodied militia was owing to the uncer-
tainty in which they were kept as to being embodied. In
Lancashire, where wages were high, this was peculiarly felt.
In 1852, the ranks were filled, and continued so during the
Russian war; but when the system of disembodiment and
re-embodiment commenced the numbers naturally fell off.
lie would venture to suggest that the great essential for
making a disembodied militia perfect was the perfestion
of the staff. No officer ought to be on the staff who was
not competent to instruct the men in the new rifle exercise.
(Hear, hear) Without a competent staff the men could
not be sufficiently instructed in 28 days. Ile was glad to
hear that greater accommodation was to be given in the
building far the staff, and that this would be effected with-
out increasing the county rates. lie would not express
any opinion upon the bill itself until he saw it ; but he be-
lieved it to be worthy of support. Every regiment ought
to be kept as much a county regiment as possible. In his
regiment he effected this object by introducing county gen-
tlemen at every third vacancy in preference to the regular
system of promotion.
Lord ENFIELD thought it would be a great improve-
ment to have the time of training determined a year before-
hand. It would produce a much better attendance. He
rejoiced to hear that there was to be a definite scheme as to
the disembodiment or embodiment of the militia, and that
the militia was not to be looked upon in future as a more
nursery for the line. lie hoped that such arrangements
would be made that every regiment would be embodied in
its turn. Tho right hon. gentleman said he could not see
the advantages of a local militia. Well, some seven or eight
years ago the existence of the Government was made to
depend upon the question as to whether the militia should be
local or general. Most of the regiments were distinguished
by some designation connected with the county, which he
thought was of great use. He thanked the right hon. gen-
tleman for bringing in the bill.
Col. GILPIN also tendered his thanks to the right hon.
gentleman for bringing in the bill. As he had been pointedly
alluded to, he might say that he remained of the same opinion
as he had formerly expressed with regard to the buildings
for stores.
