Translated from the German of Dr. PIekFORD.

" 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 tx_ltpslatiiw, this little book;
eand•.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 Spermatorrhma and the
variousObrms 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 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 reach of every one interested in the matter."—

portant discoveries of the present age.
These Pills require no restraint of diet or confinement

In our obituary yesterday we announced the
death of General Earl Cathcart, who died on Satur-

The gallant nobleman was brother of General Cath-
cart who was killed. at Inkerman, and, like his
father and many of his ancestors, was brought up
to the military profession. He entered the army in
1799, and for the first 16 years of hia career in the
army he saw much active service, having served iii
the Helder expedition in 1799 ; in Naples and
Sicily on the. staff of General Sir James Craig
during the campaigns of 1805-6 ; at the Walcheren
expedition in 1809, taking part in the si..ge of
Flushing ; and subsequently, in 1812, having
joined the army iu the Peninsula, and taken part
in the battles of Barossa, Salamanca, and Vittoria,
during which he served as assistant•quartermaster-
general ; and during the campaigns of 1815 in the
Netherlands and France. He was present at Wa-
terloo, as one of the Royal Staff Corps, acting as
one of the assistant-quartermaster generals at-
tached to the British forces. The gallant general
was appointed, in 1837, Commander of the Forces
in Scotland and Governor of Edinburgh Castle;
and in 1846 he was made Governor and Comman-
der-in-Chief of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Bruns-
wick, &c. On his return home from North Ame-
rica he was appointed to the command of the
Northern and Midland District, where he served
the customary period, and was succeeded by
Lieutenant-General Sir Harry G. Smith, who naw
holds the command. For his services in the
Peninsula he received the gold medal and two
clasps, and in recognition of his services at
Waterloo was made a Knight of the Order of St.
Wilhelm of Holland, and of St. Wladimir of
Russia. In 1838 he was nominated a Knight Com-
mander of the Order of the Bath; and was made a
