ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORREI(EA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
teal Sufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford known to English readers by his frequent practi-
zal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
sal reader. We trust this may not ho 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,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
zooid find its way Into the hands of those whta suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we arc 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 Spermatorrhma, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular.

ENGLISHMEN! Will you have " Fair
Play," and give your aid to put dow. an
unscrupulous monopoly; determined, if possible, "fa,9 aut
nefas," to crush a company that will give the Public what
they require, viz. :—" Better Omnibus accommodation and
a wholesome Competition?"

If each Omnibus rider would take, say only two or three
shares, they would have the management of the Omnibuses
under their own control, and not be the subjects of that
Despotic Power which says, " When we have all the Omni-
buses in our own hands, we will carry out what we have pro-
mised."—Macnamara and Co., at the Mansion-house. Which,
translated, means, " We will reduce the number of Omni-
buses and increase the fares."

If the Parisian Omnibus Companies pay their Shareholders
124 per cent. and 20,0001. a•year to the Government for the
monopoly they enjoy, it will answer the purpose of the L. G.
O. C. to expend any amount of money and use every means
to crush competition and create a similar monopoly in this
metropolis —WILL you PERMIT IT ?
" Who would be free, himself must strike the blow."

METROPOLITAN SALOON OMNIBUS
COMPANY.

The Directors of this Company have much pleasure in in-
forming the Shareholders and the Public, that " Patent
Saloon Omnibuses" are being built, and will be placed on
those lines of road first where Shareholders require Omnibus
accommodation.

full refutation of the calumnies published against this Com-
pany, can be obtained at the Offices, and Shareholders are
invited to make any inquiry they desire. Office hours, Ten

THE COMING CONFERENCES.

Le Nord has an article explaining the defeat
which Russian diplomacy has sustained in th•
Bolgrad dispute :

"In the beginning of the difficulty, France,
which was impartial, leaned to the Russian inter-
pretation ; but for the purpose of conciliation
sought for a compromise in combination which ap-
peared to her ought to satisfy all these angry
rivals. Sardinia used the same language as France.
Prussia never admitted the interpretation of Aus-
tria and England, which she even severely con-
demned. Opinions, therefore, were thus divided ;
on the one side Turkey, sustained with violence
and the must absolute tone by Austria and Eng-
land, and on the other side Russia, supported with
firmness by Prussia, and with more reserve by
France and Sardinia. _ _ _

Congress itself, and formally requested
" Russia then proposed to appeale

hastened
assembly. The proposition was equally agreeable
to France, Austria, England, and Turkey
to decline the offer of Russia ; Turkey, in guarded
and equivocal language ; Austria, by wrapping its
refusal in honeyed forms ; and England, with dis-
dainful and insolent arrogance. The attitude of
England covered the weakness of Turkey and the
hypocrisy of Austria. England placed herself at
the head of the resistance, and, at the same time,
addressed severe reprimands to the Cabinet of
Berlin and the Cabinet of Turin. The latter, how-
ever, could not do much. We have already men-
tioned the tone of these representations of a ngland,
couched in a style humiliating, and filled with
menace for the two Courts. Prussia was firm ; and
England, by way of Punishing her; has taken upon
herself to support Switzerland in the Neuchatel
question. Everything, therefore, depended upon
France and Sardinia. Under these circumstances,
the question is insoluble. The following is thy
mode of extrication that has been adopted, the
honour of which is due to the Cabinet of tlie
Tuileries :
" That Cabinet explained itself frankly at the
Court of St. Petersburg, and the consequence of
those explanations was, that Russia was far more
concerned in the point of honour than in a material
or political interest. The Cabinet of the Tuileries,
interpreting this language and attitude of Russia,
perceived that a decision cif the majority of the
plenipotentiaries would relieve the Russian Go-
vernment of its embarrassment ; and that, while it
would only occasion to Russia an unimportant
sacrifice, and the necessity of an honourable re-
treat, it would entail upon Austria and upon Eng-
laud the obligation of withdrawing the
armies
which occupy the Principalities, and the fleets
which occupy the Black Sea. In this point of view,
the French Cabinet, in lending itself to the forma-
tion of a majority against Russia, remained faith-
ful to its policy, because, without doing any essen-
tial damage to Russia, it put an end to causes which
might threaten the peace of Europe.
" But how to form beforehand that majority de-
manded by England as the conditions without which
neither she, nor Austria, nor Turkey, would con-
sent to take part in the new Conferences ? If I
am well informed, this has been the subject of
an understanding between the Cabinets of Paris
and Tut hr. A little negotiation has taken place
between these Cabinets. Its object was to deter-
mine the Cabinet of Turin to follow that of the
Tuileries, to hold the same language as that of the
Tuileries in the future Conference, and to maintain
the same attitude. The Cabinet of Turin yielded.
" The3,e, then, who persuade themselws that the
Plenipotentiaries of the Seven Powers will assist at
the Conference, with liberty of judgment and inde-
pendence of mind, to pronounce judicially on the
interpretation of one or two Articles of the Treaty
of Paris, indulge in strange illusions. Teu points,
which have been the subject of debate, are no ',V de-
cided, and decided against Russia by a majority of
five votes to two. Russia knows it, and rightly
persists in her design of bringing the question be-
fore the Conference, and of accepting the resolu-
tions which shall be adopted by the niajority of the
Plenipotentiaries. On some future da-s, Russia
will have her turn ; to-day it is Engla- es. In its
