CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.—We are informed
that a large number of forged notes, bearing date the 15th
of Februar), 1860, are in circulation. They are admirably
executed, and bear so close a resemblance in every respect
to genuine ones, that the most experienced persons are
likely to be deceived by them. The vignette at the head of
the notes defies detection, so closely is it copied from the
Bank of England note. The paper is of a deeper colour than
a good Banknote, and the water mark is not only &perfect
imitation in every respect of the paper manufactured for the
Bank, but it cannot be removed or obliterated by damping
—a test hitherto supposed to be infallible for discovering the
genuineness of Bank-notes.

SPORTING NOTES.

The programme for the first three days of the
Ascot meeting is nearly complete, and it is evident
no stone has been left unturned to place the Royal
gathering at the top of the tree, there being such a
superabundance of valuable items in the list to em-
ploy horses that the Royal Stand Plate, with 200
soya. added, has not filled, Altogether, nearly £3,000
has been 'got together (independently of the Queen's
Gold Vase) to be given away, being an increase
upon the sum supplied last year of quite £l,lOO,
and nearly doubling the added money of two
years ago ; and the bill of fare contains
five new items, the chief of which is the Queen's
Stand Plate, for all ages, over -the T.Y.C. (3 fur-
longs 136 yards), and it is certainly the most
exciting event set for Tuesday, being worth a clear
600 guineas to the winner. I shall look for the
Matilda colt and Lady Clifden in the front rank at
the finish, with the Drone and Mentmore running
well up. The Queen's Gold Vase, two miles, will
not cause any great excitement. Horror ought to
beat Magnum with but 31b the worst of the weights,
having shown himself of a better class. The Trial
Stakes, new mile, has an entry of 26, and Gaspard,
4 yrs, Bst 111 b, with Restes, 3 yrs, Bst 31b, are the
best class animals engaged ; and if Restes can beat
Gaspard with a 91b penalty in the saddle, the Baron
may draw first blood at the Royal meeting. The
Eighth Triennial for 4-yr-olds, two miles, has all
the appearance of a " good thing " for Mouravieff.
There is a bonus of 200 sovs with the Ascot Stakes,
two miles and a half, for the first time, and two-
thirds of the twenty-seven acceptors may be
tempted by the £9OO awaiting their pleasure, the
handicap being one of the best of the year. I ex-
pect to see Farmer's Daughter colt or Flitch the
winner.

On Wednesday the Fern Hill Stakes, for 2 and
3-yr-olds, half a mile, may promote a second meet-
ing between Lady Clifden, Big Ben, and Little
Lady, who, with Folkestone and one or two others,
will do good battle for the youngsters, while
Fravola can be trusted to take up the cudgels for
the 3-yr-olds; and, if in the humour, she may get
a very good measure of Lady Clifden, who looks
the most like a winner on paper.
For the Royal Hunt Cup I prefer the chances of
Ancient Briton, Woodburn, and Forager. The
Ninth Triennial, for three-yr-olds, should fall an
easy prey to The Wizard; but the Second Biennial
on the same course, might produce a race, Thor-
manby having been so firmly opposed for the Cup
within the last few hours that I hardly know what
move is up, and he may not see Ascot after all the
noise made about him and the Cup. In his ab-
sence, Simple Simon or Gamester ought to furnish
the winner.

For the New Stakes 41 two-year-olds have been
nominated, one more than last year. Brown
Duchess or one of Lord Stamford's ought to furnish
the winner.

On the last day only two items claim present
notice, the remaining six having yet to be named
for. Mr. Merry may secure one, and the Wizard
the other.

TO THE EDITOR. OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Referring to the inquiry and:suggestion by
Mr. Bovill in the House of Commons on Tuesday
night for a return showing the " relative import-
ance of boroughs" by taking " the number of houses
to represent one figure, and the taxation to repre-
sent another figure," I venture to suggest that, from
the official returns already published, showing for
each county, city, and borough the population and
total annual value of property, the Statistical De-
partment at the Home-office, or the Board of Trade,
would be able in 48 hours to present a comparative
statement, showing the relative importance of each
constituency, as indicated by Mr. Bovill.
In such a compilation I would recommend the
following easy and practicable mode of arriving at
and stating the result.
To each county, division, or borough, let there be
stated the population in 1851 and the annual value
of property assessed to the poor-rate in 1859, and
by adding together the two sums, and taking 10,000
as an unit, a mean or composite number will be
deduced, which will be a clear and fair index of the
claim of each place to Parliamentary registration.
Having arrived at these index-numbers, or claims
to representation, they would form the best and
clearest data for the guidance of Parliament in
dealing with the question of representation, and
any proposal could be tested thereby.
In the following examples the index number is
arrived at by striking off the last four figures from
the population and property returns, and adding
together the remainders :

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIICEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation•to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr.-PICKPORD.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequen,
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 lie shall detect any other equally 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 objoct 'than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which) resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guideis offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have delayed 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 reachof every one interested in the matter."—

CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND WitEBTLING
AT HORNSET-WOOD HousA.—The advent of the
Easter sports were ushered in on Good Friday at
the far-famed Ifornsey-wood Tavern, by the annual
gathering of the hardy men of Cumberland and
Westmoreland, who have been in the habit, for
the last three years, of meeting for th© celebra-
tion of their annual wrestling fete on the ground
belonging to the White Lion, Haekney __
wick. As,
however, from some misunderstanding, it became
requisite for the gentlemen of the committee to
change once more their place of rendezvous, they,
entered into arrangements with Mr. Stone, the pro-
prietor of the above celebrated tavern, for the
meeting to be Held again on his ground, where,
prior to the removal to Mr. Baum's ground, at
Hackney, it had been held for many years. The
arrangements made by Mr. Stone were all that
could be desired, and so agreeably did the whole of
the proceedings pass off, that the present gathering
of the hardy men of Cumberland and Westmoreland
is considered to be the best, and in all respects the
most prbfitable, that has taken place for some years.
A commodious stand was erected for the accommo-
dation of the privileged portion of the spectators.

We have to record the demise of Colonel F. C.
Irwin, K.H., formerly of the 63d Foot, and many
years commandant of the troops in Western Aus-
tralia, which occurred at Cheltenham a few days
since, at an advanced age. The deceased officer
entered the army on the 25th of March, 1808, and
served in the Peninsula from April, 1809, to Febru-
ary, 1814, including the capture of Oporto, battles
of Talavera and Fuentes D'Onor, siege and storm of
Cuidad Rodrigo, siege of Badajoz and capture of
the castle by escalade on the 7th of April, 1812,
battle of Salamanca, capture of Madrid and the
Retiro, battles of Vittoria and the Pyrenees, besides
various affairs and skirmishes on the advance and
retreat of the army. He also served the Kandyan
campaigns in 1817 and 1818 in Ceylon. He was
gazetted [commandant of the troops in Western
Australia in 1839, where he remained until he re-
, tired from the army in 1855. He has received the
war medal and nine clasps for his valuable services.
The outer walls intended to form the new wings
in course of construction at the Royal Military
Academy, Woolwich, which were commenced in
October last by Mr. Myers, the contractor, have
progressed rapidly, and have already reached the
height of sft above the plinth. Yesterday an order
was received from the commanding Royal Engineer
that on account of the walls being faced with red
bricks, which was pronounced objectionable, the
work must be removed and commenced anew. The
bricklayers have been accordingly dismissed until
their services shall be again required, and the deci-
sion has been obtained as to the appropriate colour
of the facings, hitherto given universally in favour
of red bricks. The expense of the alteration is cal-
culated at upwards of £l,OOO, which will be borne
by Government.

AMA UROSIS.

A highly interesting communication has been re-
ceived by the French Academy of Sciences from Dr.
A. de Martini, a member of the Academy of Sciences
of Naples. Our readers may recollect that in August,
1858, we gave an account of Dr. Martini's researches
on the bitter principle of Artentzsia Santonica or
worm-seed, from which it appeared that, when taken
internally, it caused the eye to see all as if tinged
with green. M. Flourens, through whose medium
the paper was presented to the Academy, stated that
Dr. blartini,continuing his resew ches, has discovered
that santonine has a beneficial effect on cases of
amaurosis. The first time he tried it in the case
of a woman of 70, who had for some time past dis-
covered a weakness in her left eye. Dr. Martin I
visited her in March, 1859; the eye presented no
appearance of disease; the pupil had but little
sensibility, and was larger than that of the right
eye; the aqueous humour was slightly clouded, and
the patient could scarcely distinguish any light
with that eye. Dr. Martini began to give her
from four to six grains on .the 10th of March ;
on the 15th, she several times saw everything
tinged with green, even with the diseased eye.
On the 18th, the daily dose was increased to eight
grains, and the patient on the came day distin-
guished the faces of the persons around her. On
the 20th and 22d, ail round her appeared yellow,
and her vision improved. The use of santonine
having been suspended, she continued in her im-
proved state. The second ease was that of a man
who was labouring from amaurosis in both eyes.
Sintonine was administered for three days, after
which period the retina appeared to have acquired
much sensibility, the patient being enabled to see
the light. In the third case—that of a man who
had lost his right eye, and had the other afflicted
with amaurosis—santonine was administered in
daily doses of ten grains. At the end of a week,
he could read some words written in large letters
on the wall.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,— Referring to the inquiry and:suggestion by
Mr. Bovill in the House of Commons on Tuesday
night for a return showing the " relative import-
, ance of boroughs" by taking " the number of houses •
to represent one figure, and the taxation to repre-
sent another figure,' I venture to suggest that, from
the official returns already published, showing for
each county, city, and borough the population and
total annual value of property, the Statistical De-
partment at the Home-office, or the Board of Trade,
would be able in 48 hours to present a comparative
statement, showing the relative importance of each
constituency, as indicated by Mr. Bovill.
In such a compilation I would recommend the
following easy and practicable mode of arriving at
and stating the result.
To each county, division, or borough, let there be
stated the population in 1851 and the annual value
of property assessed to the poor-rate in 1859, and
by adding together the two sums, and taking 10,000
as an unit, a mean or composite number will bo
deduced, which will be a clear and fair index of the
claim of each place to Parliamentary registration.
Having arrived at these index-numbers, or claims
to representation, they would form the best and
clearest data for the guidance of Parliament in
dealing with the question of representation, and
anv proposal could be tested thereby.
In the following examples the index number is
arrived at by striking off the last four figures from
the population and property returns, and adding
together the remainders

BRISTOL SUGAR-APRIL 5.

The market still assumes a very quiet tone, and rather
lower prices have been submitted to in the few sales effected
during the present week. Refiners' produce, though not
in plentiful supply, is offered sufficiently for the require-
ments of the trade, and prices are only with difficulty sup-
ported. Rum has been in improved demand, and a fair
amount of business has been done this week, chiefly in
Demeraras, at 2s per proof gallon.

ITALY.

General Garibaldi has arrived at Turin from the
island of Capraja.

The Union Liberale of Turin states that M.
Jacini, Minister of Public Works, and M. Vegezzi,
Minister of Finance, are about to retire from the
Cabinet. No political signification is attached to
their resignation. The same journal mentions a
rumour to the effect that the King will leave for
Florence on the 17th.

, A letter from Turin giies some details of the re
cent opening of the legislature of Piedmont al

Turin :

" The measures taken for the ceremony were worthy of the
occasion. The municipality caused thehouses in the Piazza
Castello to be richly decorated with national flags, and
oriflammes to be suspended from a number of masts,
surmounted by the eagle of Savoy. Crowds of spectators
flocked into the city, so that the population was doubled.
At ten in the morning, the national guard occupied the
Piazza Castello, forming a square ; and a quarter of an
hour after the deputies went in procession from the Carignan
Palace to the Palace of the Senate, where the opening of
the Chambers was to take place. In the square was a vast
assemblage of spectators, and as the deputies passed they
cheered them loudly; the balconies of the houses, which
were ornamented with splendid draperies, were filled chiefly
with ladies elegantly attired, and they also applauded. On
arriving in the Hall of the Senate, the deputies placed them-
selves to the left of the throne, the senators occupying
places to the right. In the seats set apart for the diplo-
matic body, the ambassadors of England and France at-
tracted great attention. The Princes, sons of the King,
arrived shortly after the deputies, and took their seats on
an estrade opposite the throne. A few seconds after, the
Duchess of Genoa entered and seated herself on the right.
At 11 precisely, the King, attended by his suite, appeared.
His Majesty was greeted with the loudest acclamations.
Keeper of the Seals having called over the names of the
senators and' deputies, Count Cavour, who was in grand
uniform, presented the speech to his Majesty, and the King
read it in a firm and impressive voice. Every sentence
was hailed by applause, and the deputies of the
new provinces particularly distinguished themselves
by their enthusiasm. When the King delivered the
passage respecting the Roman question,
the cheers
were almost frantic, and the same was the case when
his Majesty rose to leave. After the ceremony, the national
guard filed off before the King, and as it did so cheered
loudly. Tho day was observed as a general holiday, all the
shops being shut up, and all the people out of doors. In
the evening there was a general illumination, that of the

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ;
With the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Genei•ative system, or Sexual Hypoehrondriasis.

Translated Item 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 equally 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 Spermatorrheca and the
various forms of disease W::!cli resemnle it are accurately de-
scribed: and thus a safe guide 1.8 offered for the treatment of

the malady."-31edical Circular.
" We have delayed so low, upon the cont';,7nts of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourse:ves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Dckford ;
but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, 1; laces
