ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRIREA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
foal Sufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure.
Translated from the Gorman of Dr. PICKFORD.

"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, ho informs as, that he has addressed himself to the nos-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall letect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quirt Sympathisers,
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
mould find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
p'aint of which it treats, we are 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 m0ney...... This volume Is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. • It is, therefore,
likely 0 do much rood."—Medical Circular.

LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1857.

It is tolerably notorious by this time, we should
imagine, that the Admiralty have made a horribly
bad bargain of it three times over—with the
Transit, with the Urgent, and with the Persever-
ance. Let us repeat it—The badness of the bar-
gain with reference to these three wretched ves-
eels must be regarded, we should conjecture,
as absolutely notorious. Yet, in the very
teeth, as it were, of Facts altogether unde-
niable—it is actually insisted, with matchless
effrontery, by Sir CHARLES WOOD, that everything
is in truth most satisfactory relating to any one
of these three lumbering " Pill Garlics " of the
Deep, these three abominable " Big Pickles" of
the Transport Service, everything relating to The
Transit, to The Urgent, or to the Perseverance.
Why, really—than this, we don't recollect at the
present moment any more unblushing evidence
at once of the folly and of the hardihood of that
systematised official perversity of judgment which
Mr. DICKENS has happily designated under the
generic name of Circumlocution.

Its illustration of this we will, first of all,
briefly enumerate a few among the Leading Facts
relating to these three miserable tubs, called
Screw Transports—Facts already alluded to ag,
at one and the same time, notoriously undeniable.
They were categorically mentioned last evenino,
in the House of Commons by the Hon. Gentle-
man the Member for Teignmouth (an authority
upon these matters, be it remembered I)—but
were immediately afterwards so very coolly given
the " go by " by the First Lord of the Admiralty,
that it may be just as well they should, seriatim,
be here formally recapitulated.
As to the Transit, then, first of all ! Don't we
every one of us know just a trifle or two in regard
to "The Transit" rather to her disadvantage?
Well, yes—we rather conjecture that most of us
remember how The Transit left Spithead on the
7th ult. with 600 or 700 passengers,
and having some 286 troops on board be-
sides, and how, upon the Bth (the very day
afterwards) having grounded upon one of her own
anchors, and thereby driven a hole in her bottom
near the Needles, she was obliged to put back at
once for repairs to Portsmouth. Neither havo
we forgotten how shortly afterwards (having been

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at 5 o'clock.
The Earl of ALBEMARLE presented a petition
from a perion named Williams, who took an interest in
institutions for the benefit of the poor, praying for an
extension of the elective franchise to persons who had
purchased a Government annuity to the amount of
10/. The ;loble lord called the attention of their
lordships to the act 16 and 17 Vic., chap. 45, for the
facilitating the purchase of annuities to the smallest
amount for 1/. up to 301. He believed it was one of the
measures calculated to confer great benefits on those for
whose benefit it was mainly passed. He thouht that
the person who possessed a Government annuity was as
much entitled to vote as those persons who possessed
the 40s. franchise.

RUSSIA.

" We learn from St. Petersburg," says the Nord
of Brussels, " two facts worthy of notice. The
first is that the Emperor, on the 29th ult., the
anniversary of his birthday, addressed to Prince
Gortschakoff, Minister of Foreign. Affairs, a letter,
in which, after expressing in flattering terms his
gratitude for the services which the Prince had
rendered to him and to Russia in the various posts
he had occupied, his Majesty announces that he has
conferred on him the Order of St. Vladimir. The
second fact is that the public subscription for the
shares of the Great Russian Railway Company'
has been opened at St. Petersburg, and that the
confidence of the public in the ent-rprise was im-
mediately demonstrated by the fact of 50,000
shares, one-third of the number to be disposed of,
having been subscribed for in a single day. Our
correspondent adds that, from the anxiety to sub-
scribe, it will not be possible to satisfy all the
demands."

PORTSMOUTH-FRIDAY.

The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have
again returned to their determination that none but
" continuous-service men" shall be permitted to
enter her Majesty's ships of war.
The death of Admiral of the White the Right
Hon. Lord William Fitzroy gives promotion to our
respected commander in chief, Vice Admiral Sir
Geo. Seymour, who now becomes admiral of the
blue, and whose flag will be, doubtless, heisted at
the main of the Victory, guard ship, to-morrow.
We have it on good authority that Vice-Admiral
Sir George Rose Sartorius will be appointed to
the command in chief at Sheerness.
The Hastings, 60, screw block ship, Capt. Wm.
M. R. Maude, C. 8., was ordered to be undocked
yesterday, but owing to the prevalence of the north-
easterly winds the tide has fallen short by a foot.
Orders were received this morning that extra exer-
tions were to be used to get the ship out of dock.
The Argos, 4, screw revenue cruiser, Commander
John W. S. Grundy, is alongside ,Command
d
jetty, taking out coals of an inferior nature, to re-
ceive others in. lieu. She is also receiving some
additional improvements in her furnace depart-
ment.
The Melville, hospital ship, Commander Henry
Trellope, in No. 2 dock, had her hold filled with
water this morning, to discover a leak. A great
deal of her copper and planking had been stripped
off prior to this. Sheis now undergoing a thorough
examination, and her defects will take some clays
to repair. The Melville will convey the bead.

The Agamemnon, 91, screw, Master Commander
C. T. A. Noddall, will come out of dock on Tues-
day or Wednesday next. She is likely to proceed
to Greenwich about the 20th. The submarine cable
will take at least 40 days to coil down into the
after hold (1,300 miles). The fore hold is fitted to
receive 15 miles of large cable.

ELECTION OF A MASTER AND MATRON FOR THt
M AItILEBONE WORKHOUSE.— Yesterday having been
appointed for the election of a new master and matron
to the Marylebone Workhouse, the parochial authori•
ties proceeded with the election by ballot at one o'clock.
Mr. and Mrs. Jellings were the successful candidates.
THE CITY SHERIFFS FOR THE YEAR ENSUING.--It i.
understood that Mr. W. Lawrence, of the ward of
Bread street, will in the ensuing year fulfil the duties of
one of the sheriffs of the City cf London, which office he
would have undertaken before bad it not entailed upon
him such duties that were incompatible with the respect
due to the then recent demise of his father, the late
alderman of the ward. The other sheriff will be Mr.
E. Eagleton, alderman of the ward of Farringdon•

THE BALTIC.

HAMBURG, May 7.—We learn from Copenhagen
that at a Privy Council held at the Palace of Fred-
riksborg yesterday, a probable final arrangement
had been come to wi h re pect to the present
Ministerial crisis, and that Mr. Andrae would take
the Foreign department, and Mr. Heinzelmann,
the Chief President of Altoua' the vacant office of
Minister for the Duchess of Holstein and Lauen-
burg. The reason why Mr. von Molkte and Baron
von Bulow declined the vacant offices is, it is re-
ported, their refusal to offer any further assistance
to the claims of the German Powers.
A Russian gunboat, coming from Archangel, ar-
rived two days ago in the Copenhagen roads, and
anchored for the night. She was furnished with a
screw, and will proceed to Cronstadt to receive her
guns on board.
The navigation at. Cronstadt is again free from
ice for steamers up to St. Petersburg, and one Lu-
beck vessel had already effected her passage to tlsat
city. There was, however, according to the last
accounts, a great deal of floating ice iu the Gulf of
Finland.

•
The new line of steamers from Kiel to St.
Petersburg will commence running on Saturday
next. Two splendid ships have been built at Glas-
gow for this route—the Orient and Occident ; the
fmner is already at K•el in readiness.
Prince Christian of Denmark visited Altona
day or two back on his tour of inspection of the
troops garrisoned there, as commander-in-chief of
the army, but, after so doing, returned to Lauen-
burg. He has, therefore, not gone to Berlin on any
mission, as had been stated in the Danish papers at
Copenhagen, but Prince Frederick of Holstein-
Gliicksburg in his stead.
The we:Lther has been very cold and rainy for
some days ptst, but the crops of young corn do not
appear to suffer much.
Emigration to various parts of America, the Bra-
zils, and to Australia continues on the increase,
and great numbers are constantly arriving from the
interior for this purpose.

The Faedrelandet of the 6th says that a privy
council had been held at Fredericksborg. M. Hein-
zillmann was present at it, and that fact has led to
the supposition that he will fill the post of minister
for Holstein.

decrees, nominating Gen. Sanz, aide-decamp to

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, of the sth, says :—"A visit
from the Emperor of Russia to our court is spoken
of ; so also, thncgh more problematically, is one in
the autumn from the Emperor of the French."

It was lately mentioned in the Berlin journals
that the Prussian Government, in consequence of
the late measure for preventing the circulation of
foreign bank-notes in Prussia, had some intention
of proposing a sort of financial union between the
States of the Zollverein, for regulating the
circulation, and guarantee of the paper money of
those States. The semi-official journal, the Zeit of
Berlin, confirms this statement, and publishes an
explanatory memoir on the subject, which has been
addressed by the Prussian Government to the
States of the Zollverein.
Another letter from Berlin says :—" It has been
stated that Baron de Manteuffel, president of the
council, addressed a few days ago a letter to the
President of the Chamber of Nobles relative to its
labours. It appears that the letter expressed the
dissatisfaction of the Cabinet at the extreme slow-
ness with which Government measures are discussed
by the Chamber, and at the frequent leaves of ab-
sence accorded to its members. The Chamber at
once deliberated on the letter in a secret sitting,
and has through its president replied in a letter in
which it is asserted that the delay in the discussion
of the Government bills is caused by the Govern-
ment bringing them forward at too late a period of
the session, and in which the President of the
Council is told that, as regards leave of absence to
members, the Chamber and its president have alone
power 0 decide thereon."

DARING BU GL RY AT IVER.

APPREHENSION OF TWO DESPERATE

CHARACTERS.

A daring burglary was committed very early on
Wednesday morning last, at Iver Lodge, Iver, the
residence of Mr. Mitchell, the eminent lihrarian
arid music-seller, of Bond-street. The thieves oh-
t +rued entrance to the ground floor premises by
forcing a window frame communicating with the
garden,-and cutting away the inner shutters from
their hinges. The shutters were lined with sheet
iron, and strongly barred. They then ransack'd
all the drawers, chiffoniers, work tables, and wrlt-
ing-desks in the dining-room and library, collecting
toge'her a quantity of silver articles, spoons, a
valuable silver sug it basket, some shawls, and two
handsome sideboard clocks. The thieves then cut
through a strong do .r opening to the entrance-ball,
but were heard by a servant man, who ciu rageou sly
prepared to attack the scoundrels, notwithstanding
their threats to " blow out his - brains if he
did not keep quiet." They contrived, however, t
get away, after blowing out their lights, and took
with them all the property which been gut together.
An alarm was instantly given, and m?ssenprs de-
spatched to Slough, Uxbridge, and We,t Drayton.
Fortunately two of the men were captured tetweee
Hayes and Ealing, and numerous articles found
upon their persons. One of the men turned out
to be a discharged soldier from the Coldstream
Guards, named Dagarell, and the other named
Birch,. formerly a resident of Iver. Both of them
are well known to the police as desperate thieves,
and suspected of being implicated in numerous
robberies which have recently taken place in theneighbourhood. The fellows were sifdy lodged in
Slough lockup-house before 12 o'cloek the same
morning, and were brought up yesterday before
the sitting magistrates at Eton. The evideuee gone
into was considered quite conclusive, and both
men were comm teed to Aylesbury Gaol, to take
their trials at the next assizes fur the county.

CENTRAL AMERICAN STEAM LINE,

(From the Panama Star, of Dec. 24.)
The Panama Railroad Company's steamship Columbus
will, we understand, sail hence positively on 17th inst.
for Central America, and may be • looked for here again
about the end of the present month. This is the first
regular trip of the Columbus on this route, and it is ex-
pected that she will make regular monthly trips in future
to Guatemla, touching at Salvador, Costa Rica, and the
province of Chiriqui. She will leave here on her second
trip early in January. The Columbus takes up several
of our Panama traders, who go to various parts of the
coast in order to gain a knowledge of the different mar-
kets, and to ascertain the class of goods suitable for that
trade, and also with a view of purchasing such products
of the coast as may be found advantageous for shipment
via the Isthmus to the United States. We know of no
enterprise which could be more of real benefit to Cential
America than the opening of this line ; it is one which
we have advocated for year', and for which a greater
necessity exists at present than at any previous period.
Merchants in Costa Rica, Salvador, and Guatemla, who
have hitherto been compelled to wait for months for an
opportunity to ship their cargo to Europe or the States
via Cape Horn, will now have an opportunity of doing
so monthly, at a less expense, and at a saving of several
months. In fact, they can now ship their produce home
and receive their merchandise in return, in much less
time than it formerly took to procure and load a vessel
with homeward cargo.

STATE OF TRADE.

NOTTINGITAIVI, JAN. 15.

The lace trade, although by no means active at pre-
sent, is rather more buoyant, more particularly as respects
the foreign demand, which is just now commencing. The
home trade is dull. For plain good there is .a fair in-
quiry. The prospects of a good spring trade are cheer-
ing. .

In licsiery there is a fair amount of business doing ;
we have buyers in the market, both foreign and home,
and operations to some extent are being carded on. In
most branches of the hosiery trade there is considerable
activity for the period of the year, and hosiers are anti-
cipating a busy season.
Silk and yarns are exceedingly high.
LEICESTER, JAN. 15.
The hosiery trade is in a healthy condition. We ex-
pect soon to be able to report a further improvement,
as shortly we may anticipate operations. Stock in hand
are very light, so that with a fair quantity of orders our
market will be very active. Wools are selling at an
enormous price, and worsted yarns are exceedingly dear.
The operatives, on the whole, are tolerably employed.

THE PACIFIC.

SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 15.
4_31,3* the West India steamer La Plata, arrived
:,"flaY, we have received Panama papers to the
eth of December, being five days later than those
brow
by the American steamer Canada.
.I:he Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer
Bolivia, Captain Johnson, arrived from the South
Coast on the 21st, with the usual semi-monthly
mails and 250,000 dole. in specie. She brought
dates from Valparaiso of Nov. 30 ; Callao, Dec.
11 ; and Payta, Dec. 16.
The general knows from the Republic of Chili
Was not of any particular interest. The President
of
ere the Republic was about to visit Valparaiso,
'wh he intended to remain during the warm
season. The Valparaiso and Santiago Railroad
Was 800/1 to be opened as far as Limache, a distance
to! 30 miles. An 'electric telegraph between San-
:ago and Talca would probably be completed this
Waner. The barks Cmsar, Helene, and Grasbook
had (I arrived at the port of Montt with 300 German
Vlraigrants for the new settlement of Llanquehue.
tilgnhthouses were to be constructed where required
-
g
alo the coast by order of the Government. The
first was to be at Valparaiso.
The markets at Chili continued dull, no sales
having taken place for exportation, the local dealers
being in general well supplied. All articles of
Merchandise were abundant except sugar and
?offee, of which stocks were either small or held
by imorters. Sales of flour had been limited. In
Valparaiso prices ranged from 11 dols. 50c. to 11
dolls. for 2001 b., six months. Wheat was scarce,
and there was some prospect of the new crop being
affected by the rust.
The yellow fever rages in the towns and villages
north of La Paz.

Dates from the Republic of Peru are to Dec. 11.
General Vivanco, the head of the revolutionary
movement, arrived at Arequipa on the 3d of Dec.,
and was received with enthusiasm ; he immediately
issued a proclamation to the people, and commenced
organising the different branches of his Adminis-
tration. The departments of Moquegua and Puno
remain faithful to the Government ; those of Canas
and Canches have declared for Vivanco. The
Tacna division of the army was at Arica, to protect
that port, and General San Roman was at Puno,
organising the troops. The city of Cuzco remained
faithful to the Government. Truxillo and Lam-
bayeque have declared against the Government, in
favour of General Vivanco. In the latter town
the people defeated a force of 40 infantry and a
picket of cavalry. Don Jose Tello had been nomi-
nated a sub-prefect by the revolutionary party.
Business was, of course, completely paralysed by
the unsettled state of affairs.

VOYAGE OF THE LA PLATA.

The La Plata, which arrived at Southampton yester-
day with the West India mails, left England on the god
of last month, just as these fearful gales commenced
which caused such devastation among the shipping.
She was almost the only ship that was able to push
safely across the Atlantic. The Hermann, America, and
other large steamers, which left England about the same
time, were obliged to put back. On the sth of Decem-
ber, three days after the La Plata left England, the gale
was at its height. A tremendous sea struck her, doing
considerable damage, and washed two men, named Geo.
Brimsby and Win. Watts, overboard. A fearful /lea was
running at the time, and for the instant it was feared that
the men would be lost. White this fear was crossing
the minds of all on board, a young officer, named May,
19 years of age, put 3 life-buoy on, and, with another. in

and a gentleman on board wrote an account of the cir-
cumstance to the Hon. Captain Denman, in order that
such a deed of heroism might be brought before the
Queen. When the La Piata arrived at St. Thomas it
was blowing so hard that she could not enter the bar
hour. Moreover, the wind was accompanied with fright
ful rain and hail. On the 12th instant the La Plata ex
perienced a hurricane. The ship, powerful as she is
was unable to pursue her course, and was obliged to lay
1 to for 12 hours.
