Registered Licentiate of the London Society of Apothecaries,
Doctor of Medicine of the University of Erlangen, Honorary
Member of the London Hospital Medical Society. &c.
An erroneous impression exists that public announcements
011 these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons,
but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered
practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are
legally qualified can readily be disting,uished—a point of great
importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are
equally requisite.
In the new edition of Self-Preservation,' facts of para-
mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the
Prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in-
Wave the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers
Without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to
the„, most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation.
In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the
Influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits. indiscri-
minate excesses, improper diet, 'hardship, or by iniudicious
treatment the means of cure adopted by the author, in con-
junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene-
rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had
been pronounced impossible.

with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
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 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 Spermatorrhcea 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 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."—

PEICE 4D. STAMPED, SD.

MEETING OF THE CONSERVATIVE
• PARTY

(From the Times.)

The meeting of the Canservative party called by
Lord Derby yesterday was attended by upwards
of 200 members, and it was resolved that the bill
presented by Mr.i Disraeli on Monday night should
receive their support. This gathering; is certainly
larger than could have been obtained'by any other
statesman, or probably by the two Whig leaders
combined, and it gives reason to suppose that
the measure of the Cabinet will be at least read
a second time. Mr. Walpole and Mr. Henley were
both absent, but the demeanour of their party must
have been somewhat of a disappointment to both
gentlemen. No disruption of Lord Derby's follow.
ing has taken place; no regret has been uttered
that the two retiring statesmen were not propi-
tiated by a change the Ministerial measure.
The Conservatives have stood by their chosen
leaders, and the only result of Mr. Walpole's and
Mr. Henley's scruples is that they are out, and Mr.
Estcourt and Lord Donoughmore are in. The ex-
planation given in the House of Commons last night
adds little to what was known before. It only in-
forms us that not till the 25th of January was the
great
i principle of the bill decided upon. The mea-
sure s obviously one for the extension of the suf-
frage, and nothing else—a liberal measure certainly,
but simple enough, and the main points of it
could Le jotted down in ten minutes at a Cabinet
meeting. Yet the only matter in it liable to dis-
cussion was not approached until a month ago.
The whole of the past year seems 'to have been
taken up by Ministers in resolving to avoid alto-
gether the question of disfranchisement ; for the
little appendage about the fifteen seats is evidently
analogous to the legacy of one shilling by which
the testator rebuts the presumption of his having
forgotten his undutiful heir. It would seem, then,
that the Cabinet laboured hard in the production,
of the measure on which public attention is now
occupied, and completed their task at last by a
somewhat spasmodic effort, Unlike the Whigs,
who are committed to certain traditional beliefs
concerning representation,. Lord Derby and his
friends approached the subject with all the impar-
tiality of dislike. Any change they were opposed
to; the only question was which would least offend
their own party, while satisfying the Opposition
to whom they looked for support. This result was
to be expected from a Government existing by the
dissensions of a hostile majority. A Ministry with-
out any convictions favourable to reform naturally
fell into the notion of conciliating every claimant.
The people were supposed to be anxious for the
suffrage, but not very clamorous about electoral
districts, while the members of Parliament do not
care about an addition to their constituencies, but
object mortally to a destruction of the seats they
pleasantly occupy.
The tacticians of the Treasury Bench accord-
ingly, after a year's reflection, determined to please
the people by giving the suffrage, and to please
the members of Parliament by preserving their
seats for them. The consequence is half of a very
liberal measure. The suffrage scheme is liberal,
and may be made more liberal in committee ; it
moreover contains in the equalisation of the county
and borough suffrage a principle pregnant with im-
portant consequences. On the other hand, in the
Reform Bill proper, the disfranchisement and en-
franchisement of districts is laid aside for the pre-
sent. The Ministry will not undergo the baiting
of Wiltshire and Devonshire borough members,
furious at the thought of having to contest at the
next election some newly•created Hoxton or Mile-
end, but they have no objection to a transfer of
political power by an increase of the constituency,
or to the sanction of theories which they formerly
declared to be mischievous and revolutionary. In
short, it is plain that the Government have in their
scheme been guided principally by their desire to
find a measure which was likely to pass. It is, no
doubt, a. good common-sense principle ; feasibility
is a prime consideration in politics, but the result
in the present case is the production of a bill with

THE ARMY.

a very -strange and truncated appearance.
However, we go with the Government entirely
in their plan for extending the suffrage, and we
can see no force in the objections and no ground
for the terrors of Mr. Walpole. In his letter to
Lord. Derby he observes that " the reduction of
the county occupation franchise to a level with
that which exists in boroughs is utterly contrary
to every principle which the Conservative party
has always maintained." Now, this argument,
though it may have its weight among. Conserva-
tives, who are presumed to be bound by a certain
party creed, is no argument at all to the commu-
nity at large. It is no concern of ours whether
the doctrine of an equalised franchise was held by
certain men ; we only wish to inquire whether it
is just and reasonable. So we pass on to the gene-
ral reasoning of the Home Secretary, as far as we
can understand it. "It is to my mind," he says,
" a most dangerous innovation, by giving to tem-
porary and fluctuating occupations a preponderat-
ing influence over property and intelligence, while
it throws large masses into the constituencies who
are almost exempt from direct taxation, and there-
fore interested in forcing their representatives to
fix that taxation on others." This piece of political
wisdom almost baffles criticism. We hardly know
how to approach a sentence which does contain
a single clear statement or an intelligible deduc-
tion. In what way residence in houses rated be-
tween £lO and £5O is a temporary and fluctuating
occupation more than residence in 'louses rated above
£so—how any occupation can be considered legally
more temporary and fluctuatin g than that of a tenant
at will, are matters which Mr. Walpole would find
it difficult to explain, and it wouldbe desirable that
he should give the grounds of his belief that large
constituencies are likely to force their representa-
tives to fix direct taxation on others. The equaliza-
tion of the franchise only allows the same man to
vote in a county as votes in a borough. Why should
there be any distinction ? What social inferiority
belongs to the man who lives outside the limits of a
town ? If it is argued that in agricultural districts
rent is often paid on house and land, and not on
house alone, so that a £lO voter might live in a
house worth only £3 or £4 a-year, the land being,
in fact, the materials of his business; still, on the
other hand, house rent proper is lower in the coun-
try than in towns, so that a rent of £lO for a resi-
dence in the former denotes a higher class of man
than it does in a borough. The two things compen-
sate one another, and justify the adoption of an
identical franchise. As for the assertion that the
counties are intended to return one class of mem-
bers and the towns another, it is an assertion,
land nothing more. We deny it, and say that the
distinction between boroughs and counties was
in times past, and still is, founded on the
principle of giving an individuality and a
corporate life to the electoral district. A borough
received a writ because it was a unity, ; the bur-
gesses knew one another, transacted public business
among themselves, and knew who was the best man
in their community to send to Parliament. he
connty,similarly,had its own organisation, and was
deputed to return members elected by classes analo-
gous, as far as the state of society allowed, to those
which voted in boroughs. That the boroughs should
be commercial, and the counties agricultural, lay
in the nature of things; but it certainly is not of
the essence of the British or any other constitution
that it should be determined a priori what element
in the representation should be furnished by par-
ticular districts. The distinction between borough
and county franchise is plainly unreasonable. The
man who is fit to vote in one place is fit in another,
and the arguments against " large masses," and
fluctuating occupations, ought either to be
dropped or carried to their legitimate conclusion by
a plan for restricting the borough franchise. It is
the misfortune of Mr. Walpole and Mr. Henley
that they have resigned office through disapproval
of the very principle which will commend the bill
most strongly to the country.

Yesterday afternoon the officers and men com-
prising the three battalions of infantry at Chatham
garrison, the battalion of Royal Marine Light In-
fantry, and the corps of Royal and East India En-
gineers now at head-quarters were marched from
their respective quarters to Chatham Lines for the
purpose of going through the manoeuvres of a bri-
gade field day. The battalions, which numbered
nearly 5,000 men of all ranks, having been drawn
up in review order, .received General Eyre and
his staff in the usual manner on their arriving on
the ground. The troops then broke up into divi-
sions and marched past in slow and quick time,
after which they went through a variety of evolu-
tions and brigade movements. It is intended to
have these brigade field days at very frequent in-
tervals during the fine weather, in order to exer-
cise the officers and troops at Chatham in brigade
movements previously to embarking for India and
the other foreign stations.
A number of Turkish medals have been received
at head-quarters, Chatham, for distribution among
those officers and men of the various branches of
the service at that garrison who took part in the
campaign in the Crimea.

Yesterday a detachment of Royal Engineers,
consisting of 22 non-commissioned officers and men,
left Brompton Barracks, Chatham, for the Military
College at Sandhurst, where they are to be em-
ployed in the instruction of the students in sapping
and mining.
The steam transport ship Melbourne arrived last
night at Wbolwich pier, bringing Major Barry's
2d company, 4th Battalion, Royal Artillery, from
Barbadoes ; Captain Margesson's 6th company, sth
Battalion, from Barbadoes ; and Captain M'Crea's
Ist company's, Bth Battalion, from Jamaica ; Major
Barry's company's consisted of Lieut. Tottenham,
commanding, in the absence of Major Barry, on
leave, Lieut. Saunders, 4 sergeants, 3 corporals, 4
bombardiers, 61 gunners, 1 trumpeter (total, 75), 12
women, and 24 children. Captain Margesson's
company was composed of Lieut. Purcell, in com-
mand, 3 subalterns, 4 sergeants, 3 corporals, 1
bombardier, 61 gunners, 1 trumpeter (total, 74), 10
women, and 22 children. The Ist company,
Bth Battalion, comprised Capt. M'Crea, commanding
the whole force on board, 1 lieutenant, 5 sergeants,
3 corporals, 4 bombardiers, 39 gunners, 1 trumpeter
(total, 54), 10 women, and 14 children. The Mel-
bourne, on her outwardvoyage, sailed from Graves-
end, Nov. 6, with draughts of Royal Artillery for
the West Indies, and arrived all well.

Capt. Snow, Royal Marine Light Infantry, three
subalterns, and 168 rank and file, belonging to the
Woolwich Division, Royal Marines, yesterday re-
lieved Capt. Ellis and a similar detachment, on duty
at the Victoria Victualling and Dockyards at
Deptford.
The Military Store Department of Woolwich
Arsenal yesterday despatched by rail to Eastbourne
27 68-pounder guns, together with gun carriages,
platforms, and stores complete, and to Newhaven
20 of the same calibre, to reinforce the battery de-
fences on that line of coast.

Col. Willoughby and^Mr. Arnold, Deputy and
Sub-Inspectors-General of the Council for India,
hesterday inspected a batch of 230 siege guns of
eavy calibre, for coast purposes in India. These
guns, which vary from 24 to 68-pounders, will be
conveyed in various shipsto be taken up for the con-
veyance of other stores during the present month.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT IN FRANCE.--lt was
stated some time back that the Civil Tribunal had ordered a
Mr. Lorck, an Encrloitosnaenii,mprisoned for a debt due to the
Company of the H ouvre, to be set at liberty on the
ground that as the judgment
say for what length of sending
him to prison did not
time he was to be detained, he could
not, though a foreigner, be imprisoned for a longer period
than six months, the minimum fixed by law—which six
months' confinement he had undergone. The Hotel Com-
pany appealed against this decision to the Imperial Court,
and the Court lately heard lengthened arguments on the
appeal ; but the judges, being equally divided in opinion on
the subject, could not come to a decision. Three other
judges accordingly had to be adjoined to them to con-
sider the case. On Saturday the Court decided that the
judgment of the Civil Tribunal should be confirmed.
[ADVERTISEMENTI—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills, a
Cure for Abscesses, Piles, Fistulas, and Sores —The very
satisfactory results arising from the use of this invaluable
ointment, in cases where patients have Wen suffering from
abscesses, ulcers, piles, or fistulas, have induced the Medical
profession to introduce it into the hospitals and their private
practice ; and, in many instances, where the sufferer was
considered incurable, Holloway's Ointment, in conjunction
with his pills, healed the most desperate wounds. They
are also unequalled for the cure of scrofula, scurvy, and
other diseases of the skin. In the latter months of the
year the fog and cold winds generally roughen the skin,
and cause it to feel harsh and uncomfortable, which this
ointment at once cures.
