ON SPERMATORRIICE A.
By F. B. COURTEXAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" The aim of the author is to present a common-sense view
of the Causes, Nature, Consequences, and Treatment of this
Disease, as also to free these questions from the Professional
Fallacies, the Popular Delusions, and the exaggerations of
Quackery by which they have hitherto been surrounded, to the
destruction of the health and happiness of thousands. These
objects are discussed in a common-sense and highly practical
manner."—Medical Circular.

LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

LYTHAM, JAN. 10.—The frost on the Lancashire coast
continues to be most intense. Yesterday afternoon about
four o'clock a messenger came from the Lighthouse re-
questing that the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institu-
tion might be sent at once to the assistance of two men in
a boat, who wee reported to be quite exhausted, and unable
to reach the shore from the large quantity of ice in the
Channel. The lifeboat was despatched instantly. In
the meantime, however, the two men had succeeded in
getting ashore, and informed the lifeboat's crew that they
had left their vessel, she having drifted upon Salt House-
banks, with loss of both anchors, from the heavy body of
drifting ice. The lifeboat then took the two men on
beard and proceeded to the vessel, and on the following
flowing tide succeeded in bringing her safely into this port.
She proved to be the smack Princess Royal, of Preston,
from Bangor to that place with slates.

INDIA.

The Governor-General was about to proceed to
Rangoon.

On the 26th August, Prince Albert's birthday, a
levee was to be held for the purpose of investing
Sir Hugh Rose with the order of the Star of
India.

The Governor-General has offered three prizes
for two years of Rs. 10,000 each for the best Indian
cotton, to be competed for at each of the three pre-
sidencies ; the prizes to be awarded by the Clambers
of Commerce.

The _Hurkaru states that, consequent on the re-
commendation of the Chamber of Commerce, the
government of Bengal had given instructions to
prepare and introduce into the Legislative Council
a bill to empower the government to exercise a
supervision over the mercantile steam navy of the
port of Calcutta, and, to this end, to appoint a
surveyor to make a half yearly inspection.
The rains all over India, writes the Hurkaru of
the 15th ult., have been so heavy and have done so
much damage to the roads and railways, that the
post for the Bombay steamer leaves this one day
earlier than it would otherwise have done, indeed,
it was only the other day that we were informed
that the weather had so far cleared up as to render
it safe not to despatch it earlier, as had been in-
tended. From every part of the country we hear
of great damage being done by the floods. In Tir-
hoot the country was so flooded that the planters
were carrying their cattle into the factories in boats
to prevent their being drowned on the plains.
The Punjaub correspondent of the Englishman,
under date the 10th ult., writes :—" The season
for sowing cotton has passed, and more cotton has
been sown now than in any former year."

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRWEA;
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 resemole itare 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."—

CAPE 01 GOOD HOPE MAIL.

PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 27.
The Union Company's steamer Dane arrived here
to-night and anchored in the Sound.
A severe gale was blowing from the S.W., which
caused her to lose one of her anchors inside Drake's
Island. She afterwards dragged another, and was
finally compelled to take refuge in the Great Wes-
tern Docks.

She left Table Bay on the 21st, St. Helena on
the 31st, and Ascension on the 15th instant. She
brings 15 passengers and a small cargo.
Sir George Grey left for New Zealand on the
15th August.
A disturbance among the Zulu Kaffirs about the
succession to their Government has nearly in-
volved the colony in a frontier war with the natives.
The Zulus had planned an inroad on a large scale
into Natal, in order to seize two young Zulu chiefs
who had taken refuge there. Timely information,
however, reached the colonial authorities, and the
troops at Cape 'Fown were at once sent up. This
movement intimidated the natives, who now say
that an inroad was never intended.

The volunteer corps did garrison duty in Cape
Town during the absence of the regular troops.

Parliament was prorogued on the 14th August.
A proposed vote of LlO,OOO towards the support o
the troops had been rejected by the Legislative
Council. An indignation meeting had been held in
consequence, at which resolutions were passed ex,
pressing the desire of the colony to make some con-
tribution towards its defences. An act had been
passed for the establishment of a telegraph between
Cape Town and the frontier, to be subsidised by
the Government. The Assembly had unanimously
decided in favour of a fortnightly mail via
Mauritius.

The occupation of No Mar.'s Land by Adam kokit
had been the subject of debates in Parliament.
Nothing definite, however, resulted from the de-
bate; And the question is set e,siti9 for the present.

This was considered very injurious to the interests
of the country.
The drought had terminated and copious rains
had fallen. The prospects of the season were good.
Business at the Cape was very dull.

SWEARING IN OF THE NEW SHERIFFS.

This morning at 11 o'clock a Court of Alderman
and Livery in Common Hall was held on the
hustings, at Guildhall, for the purpose of swear-
ing in the new Sheriffs. The oaths of allegiance
and supremacy and also for the due performance of
their office as Sheriffs having been administered by
the City Remembrancer, and subscribed by the
senior Sheriff, Mr. Cockerell, and his Under-
sheriff, they were duly invested with the insignia
of their office, and were subsequently sworn in
before the Court of Aldermen, and received from
the late Sheriffs the report of the whole of the se-
veral prisons under the jurisdiction of the City,
the several governors of which delivered up their
keys, which is a mere matter of form, the Sheriffs
being by law supposed to be the custodians of all
prisoners, which were returned to them. The new
Sheriffs commenced their first act of official duties
by presiding at the election of the Lord Mayor.
London, England, 1861-09-28

CHINA.

We have received our letters and pai:ers from
Hong Kong to the 12th August, and from Shanghai
to the 3d August. We take the following sum-
mary from the Overland ( hina Mail :
At Pekin matters remain as when we last wrote.
The Prussian minister had not got a treaty. It is
said that the point in dispute was the date of his
beginning to reside in Pekin, thegovernment wish-
ing to defer that event as long as they could. This
looks bad.

From the three norther n ports (Tien-tsin, New-
chwang, and Tang-chow), we havo no very encou-
raging news to report. At Tien-tsin, the heat has
been excessive, and the rate of mortality in conse-
quence has' been about 10 per diem. From New-
chwang we learn that the brig Emma has been lost ;
all hand sated.

From Canton there are reports of the neighbour-
ing country having been flooded, and many popu-
lous districts almost entirely submerged. The
affair of the magistrate sentenced to be imprisoned
for using torture has not created so much stir among
tlaeChinese of his district as at first appeared likely.
From Macao we have no news.

We have had a remarkably mild summer as yet,
mild?r than previous years, and still more improved
by pleasant breezes. This is all the more striking
when we consider the present condition of other
parts of China in regard to emperature. At Tien-
tsin, which was so long ice bound last winter, the
thermometer is now at 112 degrees in the shade, and
the mortality, as mentioned above, is from 10 to 12
per diem ; at Shanghai the number of deaths has
been large, and the heat excessive ; at Fuhchau it
is 97 in the shade ; at Saigon the French are dying
at the rate of 8 or 9 diem ; while in Hong Kong the
weather has been quite pleasant, and the mortality
not in excess of ordinary times. It would thus
appear that Hong Kong is at present the Sanita-
rium of China.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

LITE RPOOL—SEPT. 27.
There was a very thin attendance of millers and dealers
at this morning's market, and we had a better business
doing in English wheat, at the currencies of last Tue•day
though common sorts receded ld to 2d per cental, Flour
met a slow sale, at fully 6d below last week's rates. Oats
oatmeal were in limited request, but maintained their
value. Beans a slow sale, and peas as before. Indian corn
in good demand.

CHINA.

We have received our letters and papers from
Hong Kong to the 12th August, and from Shanghai
to the 3d August. We take the following sum-
mary from the Overland China :
At Pekin matters remain as when we last wrote.
The Prussian minister had not got a treaty. It is
said that the point in dispute was the date of his
beginning to reside in Pekin, the government wish-
ing to defer that event as long as they could. This
looks bad.

From the three northern ports (Tien-tsin, New-
chwang, and Tang-chow), we have no very encou-
raging news to report. At Tien•tsin, the heat has
been excessive, and the rate of mortality in conse-
quence has been about 10 pet diem. From New-
chwang we learn that the brig Emma has been lost ;
all hand saved.

From. Canton there are reports of the neighbour-
ing country having been flooded, and many popu-
lous districts almost entirely submerged. The
affair of the magistrate sentenced to be imprisoned
for using torture has not created so much stir among
the Chinese of his district as at first appeared likely.
From Macao we have no news.

We have had a remarkably mild summer as yet,
milder than previous years, and still more improved
by pleasant breezes. This is all the more striking
when we consider the present condition of other
parts of China in regard to temperature. At Tien-
tsin, which was so long ice•bound last winter, the
thermometer is now at 112 degrees in the shade, and
the mortality, as mentioned above, is from 10 to 12
per diem; at Shanghai the number of deaths has
been large, and the heat excessive ; at Fuhohau it
is 97 in the shade ; at Saigon the French are dying
at the rate of 8 or 9 diem ; while in Hong Kong the
weather has been quite pleasant, and the mortality
not in excess of ordinary times. It would thus
appear that Hong Kong is at present the Sanita-
rium of China.

at this morning's market, and we had a better business
doing in English wheat, at the currencies of last Tue day ,
though common sorts receded ld to 2d per cental Flour

oatmeal were in limited request, but maintained their
value. Beans a slow sale, and peas as before, Indian corn

INDIA.

The Governor-Generalwas about to proceed to
Rangoon.
On the 26th August, Prince Albert's birthday, a
levee was to be held for the purpose of investing
Sir Hugh Rose with the order of the Star of
India.

The Governor-General has offered three prizes
for two years of Rs. 10,000 each for the best Indian
cotton, to be competed for at each of the three pre-
sidencies ; the prizes to be awarded by the Chambers
of Commerce.

The Hurkaru states that, consequent on the re-
commendation of the Chamber of Commerce, the
government of Bengal had given instructions to
prepare and introduce into the Legislative Council
a bill to empower the government to exercise a
supervision over the mercantile steam navy of the
port of Calcutta, and, to this end, to appoint a
surveyor to make a half-yearly inspection.

The rains all over India, writes the Hurkaru of
the 15th ult., have been so heavy and have done so
much damage to the roads and railways, that the
post for the Bombay steamer leaves this one day
earlier than it would otherwise have done, indeed,
it was only the other day that we were informed
that the weather had so far cleared up as to render
it safe not to despatch it earlier, as had been in-
tended. From every pact of the country we hear
of great damage being done by the floods. In Tir-
hoot the country was so flooded that the planters
were carrying their cattle into the factories in boats
to prPvant their being a rnwned nn the plains_

The Punjaub correspondent of the Englishman,
under date the 10th ult., writes :—" The season
for sowing cotton has passed, and more cotton has
been sown now than in any former year."

THE PRICE OF.GOLD

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille prem.,
and the short exchange on London is 25.40 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
alma 5-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 4204 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.81 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.

in a gig, accompanied by two other persons, at the octroi
office of the village of Rehberg, and found the gate closed.
It was some time before the octroi man, whose name is
llautschek, presented himself, and NVillvonseder reproached
him for his delay. "Ah I" cried the man, " you are tired
of waiting, are you ? Well, then, you shall wait longer ?"
and he closed the gate which he had opened, and retired to
the office. Willvonseder called to him several times, but
he returned no answer. and at length the former, getting
out of his gig, went to the office and summoned him to
open the gate. "You insist on its being opened, do you?
Take that I" .said the octroi man, and he plunged a large
knife into Willvonseder's breast. The latter staggered a
few steps and fell dead. The murderer was immediately
after arrested.

A deplorable affair has occurred in the Rue du_
Faubourg Saint-Antoine. A married couple carrying one
the trade of butchers at No. 164 in that street had frequent
quarrels, owing to the man for some reason having for-
bidden his wife to visit her family, and to her disregarding
his prohibition. On Monday evening the wife taking ad-
vantage of the man's absence, went to see her sister. After
a while, he arrived, and bitterly reproached his wife for
disobeying his orders; but by the intervention of his sister-
in-law and her husband, who were present, he became
calm, and promised to live on better terms with his wife..
As, however, the woman feared that the man would commi

THE OUTRAGE IN JAPAN.

(From the Friend of China.)
A good deal of indifferent logic has been ex-
pended lately in an endeavour to prove that Mr.
Alcock was wrong in leaving and Mr. Harris right
in staying at Jeddo after the assassination of Mr.
Housken, the interpreter. Our opinion always
ran that Mr. Alcock was right and Mr, Harris
decidedly wrong, and events are showing that this
is the correct view of the case. It may be, indeed,
that had Mr. Harris made common cause with the
foreign Ministers who joined Mr. Alcock, we should
not now have to tell of the attempt to massacre the
British Legation at Japan on the night of the sth
ultimo.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER MEETING—FRIDAY, SEPT. 27.
This meeting commenced yesterday, under auspices fully
equal to those of any former year ; the company assembled
in the stands and on the course was as numerous as ever.
The large number of horses which have lately run at Don-
caster, and the variety of localities in which they were re-
quired this week, added to the rest necessary for many of
those going to run at Newmarket in the week to come, has
necessarily reduced the fields. Upon the whole the lessee
has reason to congratulate himself on the success of his
meeting, with regard both to the financial department and
to the quality of the racing, of which we give the particulars
below. A few bets were made on future events, but nothing
occurred worthy of particular remark.

At the third attempt the flag fell, and the lot got off in
compact order. Tommy Jones rushed to the front almost
immediately and made the running, followed by Silkstone,
Forester, and the Sister to Stafford filly, t) the entrance to
the straight. Here the last-named filly took second place,
but never fairly reached Tommy Jones, who won veryeasily
by a length and a half; Forester was third, four lengths
from the second; Silkstone fourth ; and the others beaten
off.
