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 Spermatorrlicea 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 th• reach of every one interested in the matter."—

The House of Commons passed 25 clauses of the
Bankruptcy Bill in committee on Monday evening, and
from the general approval of its leading principles
it is hoped the measure will proceed without mate-
rial alteration. With regard to the proposed aboli-
tion of the office of messenger, representations having
been made from- various quarter. against that step,
and the Committee of the Mercantile Law Amendment
Society having advised their retention, the Attorney-
General has determined to allow them to remain, but that'
their fees shall be considerably reduced. The bill in its
amended form having greatly increased the jurisdiction of
the County Courts in cases of bankruptcy, and considerably
altered the position of official assignees, the questions as to
their future duties and remuneration will have to be again
considered. The influential petition presented by Mr.
Crawford on Monday evening in favour of the Bankruptcy
Bill was prepared by the Committee of the Mercantile Law
Amendment Society, and was signed in twelve days by
more than 1,100 of the principal bankers and merchants in
London.

HER MAJ ESTY'S THEATRE.

The " Semiramide" of Rossini was reproduced
last night for the debut of Madame Alboni on the
London stage as Arsace. In no part that she has
ever attempted has this great artist produced
greater and more genuine effect than in this, and
her re-appearance in the character created an ex-
citement in the audience that perhaps in some de-
gree interfered with the impression produced by
Mdlle. Titiens as Semiramide, excellent and artistic
throughout, both musically and dramatically consi-
dered, as her assumption must be pronounced to
have been. As far as singing is concerned when
Madame Alboni is present, every living artist must
give way, and even the purity and force of Mdlle.
Titiens' style, under any other circumstances neces-
sarily paramount, produced less impression than
the wonderful execution and delicious quality of
voice with which Madame Alboni completely en-
chanted every one who was listening to her. The
theatre was crowded, and the renewal of old asso-
ciations connected with the music of this popular
opera gave an aspect of former times to the house
that must have gladdened the hearts of old fre-
quenters of her Majesty's Theatre.

TILE ARMY.

The authorities at the Horse Guards have directed
a board of Royal Engineer and other officers to be
assembled for the purpose of making a survey and
reporting upon the condition of the Government
stores at Purfleet, Tilbury Fort, and Chatham.
Tn addition to the 53d Regiment, which has em-
barked at Calcutta for England, information has
been received at Chatham garrison that the Ist bat-
talion of the Bth (the King's) Regiment is now on
its passage home from India in three divisions, and
may be expected to arrive at Gravesend during the
present summer, after an absence of upwards of 14
years, the regiment having left England in April,
1846. During the time the Ist battalion of the Bth
has been in India it has seen a great deal of service.
It was one of the regiments which bore the most
conspicuous part in the suppression of the great In-
dian revolt. It served at the siege and assault of
Delhi in 1857, under Col. Greathed, including the
six days' fighting within the city. The regiment
was also present in the action at Balundshur, the
battle of Agra, the action at Dilkoosha, the relief of
Lucknow by Lord Clyde, the battle of Cawnpore,
and the aetion of Khadagunj. In all these engage-
ments the gallant Sth suffered most severely, and
the regiment was so weakened that the service
companies at the present time number only about
400 bayonets. The depot at Chatham is, however,
very strong, numbering about 500 men of all ranks,
which will raise the regiment to its required number.

SIR J. W. RA.M3DEN, M.P., AND THE REFORM
BILL.—A Bradford gentleman having written to Sir John,
taxing him with non-adherence to the principles he enun-
ciated at his election, Sir John writes in reply that the
present bill only deals with the question of reform by lower-
ing the franchise, and therefore does not come up to his
desires, and that is the reason why it has been rectived
with such dissatisfaction "by many of the most earnest
supporters of reform." He concludes by saying—" As re-
gards the future stages of the bill, if it can be amended in
committee, I shall then vote for its passing, but if not, I
should prefer postponing the question with the view to a
really enduring settlement next year, rather than passing
a crude and temporary measure now. I cannot but think
that you will agree with this view, which is quite con-
sistent with all ever held or expressed."

The family medicine chest that is furnished with these
powerful remedies needs nothing more. Indigestion, gene-
ral debility, liver complaint, eruptions, sores, wounds,
ulcers, tumours, &c., are infallibly cured by their use. They
purify the blood give tone and vigour to the whole system.
The ointment, when well rubbed into. the parts affected,
enters the flesh just as salt enters meat, and if the pills are
taken as an auxiliary, the cure is speedy, thorough, and per-
manent. These medicaments are composed of rare balsams,
without the admixture of a grain of mercury, or any inju-
rious substance. They are peculiarly mild and gentle in
their action, and are as safe as they are efficacious.
The Mysterious Power of the Magid; is most beautifully
developed by Mr. F. M. HERRING, of 32, Basiaghall-street,
in his Patent Magnetic Brushes and Combs, which are the
remedy for grey hair, weak or falling hair, neuralgia, nervous
headache rheumatism, stiff joints, &c. His Teazle Brushes
for cloth, velvet, &c., are admirable; they not only cleanse
but preserve the fabric in a remarkable manner. The publi •
are cautioned against counterfeits.---[ADvr.]

SIR P. TREVELVAV.

The affairs of India will for some time engage
the anxious attention of Statesmen. Sir C. Tre-
velyan, the governor of Madras, a gentleman of
very high character, and of great experience in
Indian affairs, has placed himself in direct opposi-
tion to Mr. Wilson's new plan of taxation. Sir
Charles goes principally for the expediency of re-
ducing the expenses. Mr. Wilson, as the Times
says, "believes in the possibility of stimulating the
trade, developing the resources, calling forth the
industry, and increasing the revenue of India ; and
these things he cm Only do through a greatly in-
creased expenditure, on railroads, irrigation, edu-
cation, the administration of justice, and the im-
provement of the police."
It is very remarkable that while publie writers
and speakers have declared their opinions for and
against Mr. Wilson's plan of taxation, scarcely a
word has been said, on either side, on his Paper
Currency project. The fact is that the writers and
speakers are afraid of this subject. ' They know
and feel 'their ignorance. They dislike the ques-
tion. They wish, as far as possible, to ignore it.
But currency for India must be considered.
How is the " greatly increased expenditure" to be
met, how are taxes to be raised with ttie " purely
metallic Currency of India." It is entirely impos-
sible. With a sound Paper Currency trade would
be stimulated, the resources of the country deve-
loped, and consequently the revenue increased.
Mr, Wilson knows this. He knows that nothing
can be done, on a large scale, without a Paper
Currency. We are opposed to the timid policy of
Sir C. Trevelyan. We are equally opposed to the
Bullionist theories of Mr. Wilson. With Pitt's
paper money, India would be to England a.source
of " wealth beyond the dreams of avarice."—Der-

The House of Commons passed 25 clauses of the
Bankruptcy Bill in committee on Monday evening, and
from the general approval of its leading principles
it is hoped the measure will proceed without mate-
rial alteration. With regard to the proposed aboli-
tion of the office of messenger, representations having
been made from various quarters against that step,
and the Committee of the Mercantile Law Amendment
Society having advised their retention, the Attorney-
General has determined to allow them to remain, but that
their fees shall be considerably reduced. The bill in its
amended form having greatly increased the jurisdiction of
the County Courts in cases ot bankruptcy, and considerably
altered the position of official assignees, the questions as to
their future duties and remuneration. will have to be again
considered. The influential petition presented by Mr.
Crawford on Monday evening in favour of the Bankruptcy
Bill was prepared by the Committee of the Mercantile Law
Amendment Society, and was signed in twelve days by
more than 1,100 of the principal bankers and merchants in

THE CEYLON RAILWAY.

The Earl of CARNARVON asked what were the inten-
tions of her Majesty's Government in respect to the further
prosecution of the Ceylon Railway ?
The Duke of NEWCASTLE replied that the railway in
question was proposed so far back as the year 1854, but it
was only brought into a state in which it could be dealt with
by the Colonial-office in 1857. The course taken by his noble
friend (Lord Taunton) at that time was this—the noble lord
sent out Capt. Moorsom for the purpose of surveying the line
and forming an estimate of the cost of its construction.
That estimate was £856,000, and xpon it a contract was
made between the colonial government of Ceylon and the
railway company which had been formed to carry out the
undertaking, based on a guarantee. The next step taken
was that this company sent out Mr. Doyle, a civil engineer,
for the purpose of superintending the workings, but from
1857 down to 1859 little was done. In the June of lastyear,
however, a report came from Mr. Doyle, estimating the
cost of constructing the line, not at £855,000, but at
£2,214,000. This estimate was received at the Colonial-
office at a time when he (the noble duke) was at the head
of that department, and one of the first matters he had to
deal with was the complication arising on the subject of this
railway. The colonists naturally remonstrated against the
increased estimate sent home by Mr. Doyle, and under
+hese circumstances he (the Duke of Newcastle) thought it
quite impossible to allow the works to proceed without some
further inquiry, and most thorough and complete investiga-
tion. He thought it absolutely necessary to call in the best
practical opinion, and although the late Mr. Robert
Stephenson had retired from professional business he most
kindly undertook to investigate the whole case and
give the Government the benefit of his practical
advice. It was then arranged that , the works
should be as far as practicable suspended, but
that the two contractors who had undertaken
to send out agents to Ceylon should be allowed still to send
them out, and it was also decided that Mr. Doyle should be
immediately sent home, with a view of his laying before Mr.
Stephenson such information as he had been able to acquire.
Mr. Doyle arrived in England in December last, but in the
meantime, to the great disadvantage of the Government in
this matter, and, indeed, to the great disadvantage of the
country at large, Mr. Stephenson died. Under these cir-
cumstances it was necessary that some other person should
be found to undertake the task which had been accerted by
him, and eventually Mr. Hawkshaw was applied to, and
Captain Moorsom had been induced to pat himself in com-
munication with that gentleman. He had every reason to
hope that by the close of the present month a report would

THAMES GRAVING DOCK.

The ordinary meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the offices, Great George-street, West-
minster, Mr. A. Ricardo in the chair.
The report stated that the works had been com-
pleted as at first contemplated,—namely the
hydraulic lift and six pontoons,—at a cost very
little exeeeding the sum estimated, and had been
completely successful. In the summer of last year
the company commenced operations, and tempo-
rarily leased one slip and the pontoons to a ship-
building firm. An agreement for the mechanical
working of the docks had been entered into with the
Victoria Dock lessees, on the terms of paying them
a per centage on the net profits arising from the
lift and rent of pontoons. The total number of
vessels docked up to the present time was 124, and
their tonnage amounted to 66,760. Tha receipts
for the month of April and the two first weeks in
May were £523. The revenue account exhibited a
credit balance of £1,308, which would be absorbed
by the company's debenture debt.. The capital
account showed that £147,293 had been expended,
though £123,600 had been raised by shares
andin debentures. The directors were firmly con-
ythat the business of the company might be

TIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The "Semiramide" of Rossini was reproduced
last night for the debut of Madame Alboni on the
London stage as Arsace. In no part that she has
ever attempted has this great artist produced
greater and more genuine effect than in this, and
her re-appearance in the character created an ex-
citement in the audience that perhaps in some de-
gree interfered with the impression produced by
Mdlle. Titiens as Semiramide, excellent and artistic
throughout, both musically and dramatically consi-
dered, as her assumption must be pronounced to
have been. As far as singing is concerned when
Madame Alboni is present, every living artist must
give way, and even the purity and force of Mdlle.
Titiens' style, under any other circumstances neces-
sarily paramount, produced less impression than
the wonderful execution and delicious quality of
voice with which Madame Alboni completely en-
chanted every one who was listening to her. The
theatre was crowded, and the renewal of old asso-
ciations connected with the music of this popular
opera gave an aspect of former times to the house
that must have gladdened the hearts of old fre-
quenters of her Majesty's Theatre.
