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 dilated 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."—

EXCHEQUER COURT.

The proceedings in this court were devoid of public in-
terest. The question before the court was as to the lia-
bility of certain parties for a breach of contract respecting
the detention of a vessel after the date announced for
sailing.

POLICE IN7BLLIGE'NCE—(27Iis Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

REFUSAL TO MAINTAIN A WIFE.—ALLEGED ADUL-
TERY.—John. Castelli, of 31, Regent-street, was charged
before Mr. Beadon, by the parish authorities of St. James's,
with refusing to maintain his wife, and leaving her charge-
able to the said parish.
Mrs. Rosa Castelli said she was the wife of the defend-
ant, who had left her on the 4th of October last, since
-which time, till a week ago, she bad been in St. James's
Workhouse, the defendant only giving her £1 us. during
that time.

Mr. Tett, one of the parish officers, said several attempts
had been side to find him, and it was only on the previous
night that die warrant was served on him in Aldgate.
The defenilant said his wife was false.
Mr. Tett said there was a case depending in the Divorce
Court.

Mr. Beadon said that was a good reason why he should
not interfere.

Mr. Tett said he thought the proceedings there would
not interfere with those in the police court.
Mr. Beaion said he was not going to decide in such a
case. The question was what was the nature of the case
before the superior court.
Mr. Tett said they had no grounds for supposing the
charge against the wife was true.

Mr. Beadon said, here was a man who had taken expen-
sive proceedings in another court, and they could not ex-
pect him to try a case that was now before Sir Cresswell
Cresswell. They could not, before that case was dismissed
by the judge, ask to commit the defendant.

Mr. Tett said he understood Mr. Lewis, of the Albany-
court-yard, was the defendant's solicitor, and had the con-
duct of the proceedings in the Divorce Court.

The wife said the proceedings there were stopped—there
were no witnesses.

Mr. Beadon said the thing was, was the case set down
for regular hearing.
Mr. Tett said he believed the defendant's brother was
paying the expenses, and that he lived in Regent-street.
The defendant hal married the female with the full con-
viction that 4ikehad a child at the time, and the female had
had one since her marriage to the defendant. She was at
the time in business as an eating-house keeper.
Mr. Beadon said if the defendant set up adultery, and
that was the only thing that he could set up for refusing to
maintain his wife, and the judge dismissed the case, he
(the magistrate) would have to try the case. The only
thing was was the proceeding in that court merely
for putting off the evil day, or was it honest. He was sorry
the summons had been taken out for refusing to maintain
his wife. It should have been for desertion, as 110
was not in a position to be capable of supporting her. It
was a clear case of desertion.

The case was ultimately disposed of by the defendant
agreeing to allow his wife 7s. a week, the parish consent-
ing, till the settlement of the case before the Divorce Court.

for skaters to drive before them an iron chair or sledge, in

according to the Russian fashion. These swiftly propelled
freights of fashion's favourites, of diverse colours, produce
a pleasing, living, and very animated contrast to the cold,

HEALTH OF LONDON :DURING THE WEEK.

(From the Repstrar-General's Weekly Return.)
The deaths in London declined to 1,065 in the
week that ended October 19 ' • they increased but
very slightly in the week ending last Saturday,
when the number was 1,087. Scarlatina is frequent
at the present time, and fatal cases of it are nume-
rous among children ; but generally the population
appears to be in good health, and the mortality from
all causes is considerably below the average.
The deaths from scarlatina rose last week to 96,
those from diphtheria were 11; while the corrected
average for corresponding weeks is 86 for the two
diseases together. There were 10 from scarlatina
in Chelsea, 4 in the sub-district of Mayfair, 8 in
Battersea,e i e r k en

sub-district (Ist part), recorded 6 deaths from scar-
latina out of 9 deaths from all causes. He considers
that the rapid propagation of the disease in his
neighbourhood is much aided by the overcrowding
of small houses, in consequence of the extensive
clearance effected for the Charing-cross railway.
Mr. Armstrong, registrar of St. Mary, St. George-
in-the-East, states that scarlatina has been very
prevalent during October in that part of his sub.
district, the northern, which is the most densely
populated.

Last week the births of 945 boys and 877 girls,
in all 1,522 children, were registered in London. In
the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1851-60
the average number was 1,654.

QELF-PRESERVATION.—A popular Essay on
Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from injurious
habits contracted in youth, or excesses in maturity, which,
by prematurely exhausting the functions of Manhood, de-
stroy the happiness of Married Life or prevent the fulfil-
ment of engagements which constitute the most cherished
objects of existence.
By Dr. LA'MEnT, 37, Bedford-square. London.
Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh;
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, &c.
The above work contains most useful and interesting
information on the physiological changes which occur
in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth,
puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that
degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity
depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man-
hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they
are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the
gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous
remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac-
tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious
injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive.
The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner
whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only
true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu-
sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the
variou4 functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive
system, which, owing to the
.great discoveries of modern
science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple,
and easy mode of treatment.

towards practical results. The days appointed for holding
at the Palatine Hotel, Manchester, Mr. John Cay, the
sheriff of Linlithgow, acting as commissioner from the
Scottish Court of Session, heard evidence in the suit now
pending in Scotland for the dissolution of Major Yelverton's
marriage with Miss Longworth. The depositions of four
witnesses resident in Manchester, viz., Thomas Burton,
Richard Stephenson, Thomas Daniel, and Geo. Campbell,
sen., are held to be requisite, and, as the Scottish Court
cannot order the attendance of these persons in Edinburgh,
an order was obtained last week from Mr. Baron Martin,
in London, for their examination before Mr. Cay, at Man-
chester. Mr. J. Millar, advocate, and Mr. P. Adam, soli-
citor, were present for Major Yelverton; and Mr. D. B.
Hope, advocate, appeared for Mrs. Yelverton. The pro-
ceedings lasted several hours, and were, as usual, conducted
privately. It has been freely conjectured that the testimony
elicited would have reference to circumstances connected
with Mrs. Yelverton's life before her marriage, and which
is said to have been passed chiefly in the neighbourhood of
Manchester; but all suppositions as to matters not stated
inuraiennoep. en court are likely enough to be deceptive and in-

opening of the university.

Seven hundred students applied for re-admission,
and on the 24th inst. demanded that those students
who had not received a card of admission should,
nevertheless be admitted into the university.
Fresh tumults thereupon ensued in the university
buildings, resulting in the interference of the mili-
tary.

The students made an active resistance. Two
hundred of them were arrested. One student was

wounded.

It is not thought that this conflict will lead to
the reclosing of the university.

The Pattie of this evening contains the fol-

"The principal bases of the convention for the

to obtain redress for the subjects of the intervening
Powers; and 2d, the necessity for Europe to con-
stitute in Mexico a strong Government capable of
maintaining order and security.
"It is asserted that France will send half a bri-
gade to Mexico."

The Paris evening papers deny the truth of a
statement made by a Belgian journal that negotia-
tions for the cession of Venetia by Austria had
been entered into between that Power and France.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERIVIATORRIICEA ;
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. 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 dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-

JOZEAUS COPAHINE, or SACCHARATED
CAPSULES.—Copaiba and Cubeba are doubtless the
best remedies, but these drugs are of a repulsive taste and
odour, and occasion colicky pains, nausea, and gastric dis-
turbance. M. Jozeau has succeeded in rendering these valu-
able therapeutic agents perfectly innocuous by increasing in
his Copahine all the curative properties. This preparation
has been adopted by the Paris Academy of Medicine, after
more than a thousand trials in Paris and the different Lon-
don hospitals, viz., St. Thomas's, Guy's, and St. Bartholo-
mew's, under the care of Messrs. Lloyd, Poland, and Leszros
Clark.—" Lancet," Nov. 6 and Dec. 10, 1857. The Copahine,
which is in form of a pretty pink sugar plum, effects a cure
in about six days, either in recent or chronic diseases. 100
capsules, 4s. 6d. ; post free, ss. 2d. Post-office order required ;

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of' the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 18G0. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully

THE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
FOUR WEEKS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
LIFE.

This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst

Dr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
structions for use, at Ils., or four quantities in one for 335.,
and may be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,

FRANCE.

A Paris letter in the Independanee says :—" The
story has been revived here that negotiations are
to take place on the question of Venetia, and that
the compensations offered to Austria, in case she
should consent to cede that province, would betaken
from the provinces of the Porte, and especially
from those in which the Sultan has great diffi-
culty in maintaining his suzerainty. But nothing
precise is known as to the means of executing
such a plan, and, moreover, very little hope of its
success is entertained. As to Rome, the mere
rumour of a negotiation being opened on the
question of Venetia proves that the French occu-
pation of that city is to be maintained for an in-
definite period.

By Dr. LA'ATERT, 37, Bedford-square, London.

Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh;
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, &c.

The above work contains most useful and interesting
information on the physiological changes which occur
in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth,
puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that
degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity
depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man-
hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they
are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the
gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous
remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac-
tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious
injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive.
The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner
whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only
true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu-
sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the
various functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive
system, which, owing to the great discoveries of modern
science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple,
and easy mode of treatment.

The following are the contract times for mails to
be conveyed from London to the West Indies, Central and
South America, and the Pacific during the next year, viz.,
to St. Thomas in 141 days, to Colon in 191 days, to Rio de
Janeiro in 261, to Buenos Ayres in 351, to Bonuy ( \Vest
Coast of Africa) in 321, to Cape of Good Hope in 42, to

The final adjustment of the terms upon which the
amalgamation of the Queen Life and Fire Insurance Com-
pany with the London and Lancashire Insurance Company
is Lased upon has been effected by the directors, subject to
the confirmation of the shareholders. By this arrangement
the London and Lancashire Company comes into possession
at once of a fire income of about £40,000 per annum, and an
established machinery of agency for fire business. The Queen
Life Company, which is to be a separate association under
the same management, will have all the advantages of a
unity of action with the London and Lancashire Company,
part of the direction of that body taking office as directors
of the Queen Company.
