TEE DEFENCE OF OUR PORTS.

A writer in a contemporary says :—Allow me to
direct attention to the defenceless condition of the
port of Greenock. I believe no port of equal import-
ance lies so invitingly open to attack by an enemy's
cruiser, It is not, like Liverpool, protected by any
difficulties in the navigation of the frith. The course
from the Atlantic to the roads is so completely free
from impediments, either natural or artificial, that
a stranger without the aid of buoys or beacons, and
without the slightest risk of molestation, could
easily run in the largest frigate and lay her within
200 yards of the shore at any point from one end of
the town to the other. This will hardly be believed,
but it is nevertheless the fact, for, although there
are_in Greenock three companies of volunteer artil-
lery, three on the opposite side of the river, and a
brigade comprising 14 companies at Glasgow-22
miles distant, and communicating with both shores
by railway—there is not a single gun in position
which could be brought to bear on an enemy's ship
approaching or lying before the town. This will
appear still more unaccountable when it is remem-
bered that about two miles below Greenock the
channel is contracted by the peninsula of Roseneath
to a width of about 2-1 miles, thus affording peculiar
facilities for its defence by works on both sides. It
is true that on the Greenock shore a fort was erected
several years ago at this point, and armed with
seven 68-pounders, but these are at present dis-
mounted, the platforms having given way, while on
the Roseneath shore there is neither fort nor arma-
ment, and thus the passage is perfectly unobstructed,
and the 1,000 well trained artillerymen, who would,
in case of need, most willingly illustrate the effi-
ciency of our " system of local defences," if only
they had the means of doing so, are utterly impotent.

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 its, 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 Spermatorrhma 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."—

fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-

Intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all

fully explained in J. GROSSMITrI'S

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties -

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 caret ully
