"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the 1h.:1
time, he informs es, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
sal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to cor-
reot.”—Lon don Medical Gazette. " The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers,
and 'Medical Friends,' arc mercilessly exposed ; and if this boot
meld find Its w:.y into the hands of those whe sttffsr from the com-
plaint of which It treats, we aro 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 mmey......This volume is welt qualified to put an end to the
-metrical system of treating Spermatorrhosa, and to place the treat.
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
'ikely to do much good."—Mcdical Circular.

gressive rate of 101 b. until the fifth shot, when the

Y EAST INDIAN D frCEO POR ON THE
INDIAN MUTINY.

in reference to the affairs of the East India Com-
pany, aeneyengo f

ne indication of its being a general movement on
the part of a people rising a?,aiest misgovernment,
oppression, and wrong ; if so, I should despair of a
speedy restoration of peace and tranquillity. But I
see many indications that it is not a national
struggle for independence. The masses of the popu-

eritiur side, and evena the agricultural,
the resources round Delhi at our command. Look,
again, at the native chiefs and Princes, who, with
a trifling exception, are all on our side, and have
given us ready and extensive aid. In that part of
India with which I was so long
connected there
has been no rebellion ; all have proved faithful to
the Government and
shave given us the readiest
help. Even from the remotest provinces the people
have come forward to assist the British Govern-
ment—some with men, some with money, and some
with both. Far from considering this a national
movement I think the 'British administration in

India has received a severe test that our rule is
satisfactory to the general masses of the population.
Then, the revolt is wculiarly a military one, con-
fined to a portion only of our army, though a very
large portion. The first act of the mutineers was to
release from gaol 11,000 or 12,000 criminals, and
they were joined by that miscreant Nana Sahib
and the scum of the population (such as may be
found in every large town in every large country) ;
and these are the elements arrayed against us. I
do not say that it is nbt a formidable revolt ; 70,000
or 80,000 men trained and disciplined by us are of
course formidable, and it is humiliating to our
pride that men, above all others pampered and in-
dulged, should have imbreed their hands in the
blood of those with whom they have long assn-'
dated. The Bengal army
being ripe for revolt, I
consider that greased cartridges were the immediate.
cause of the rising, made use of by designing men,
because it united the Mahomedan and the ilindoo
in a common cause. &Wet me not be misunder-
stood. Although I think it very probable that this
was made the pretext for rebellion, I firmly believe
that many who were otherwise loyal soldiers were
p
seduced from their allegiance by this means, and
were really made to believe that the use of these
cartridges was to be forced
their religion. In taw,. therue"" them to destroy
seems to have been a
g
delusion almost amountie tinsanity, which no
effort on the part of the authorities could possibly
a
have prevented. Many the causes to which
the rebellion has bees attributed—thera
conduct of
European officers, the centralization of authority)
depriving commanding officers of the power of re-
warding or punishing, the unwise abolition of cor-
poreal punishment in the native army while it re-
mained as a custom in the European army, on the
plea that it would interfere to prevent high caste
men from entering into Some, again,say that it was a movement against the missionaries ;

in justice to those holy men (with many of whom I
1 tuna acquainted),
u,t say that the revolt was
clearly not directed against them,
because, if so they
would have become the especial objects of vengeance,
while(as has been happily observed) the outbreak has
been the strongest where no missionary ever resided ;
and, al though, unfortunately, some few of them have
fallen, it has been in general a massacre of Euro-
peans. Another party, taking a political view of
the c Ise, say that these terrible events originated
in the yelraing of the Mussulmans to recover their
lost dominiox ; but whether that yearning excited
the revolt, or whether the revolt excited the ye am-
ine, does not appear. At all events, it is pefectly
clear that such a feeling dons exist ; but still this
could only be a i)rtial cause, or it would be impos-
sible to account for the fact that the Musiulman
princes and population exhibited very little syn.-

some of the causes which may have contributed to
this outbreak ; but, at this same tima, I think it

evangelizing the natives. This is a large and wide
1 question ; but I think that while it is our duty to
' abstain from direct interference with the conver-
sion of natives to Christianity—that while on the
one hand we are bound by treaties and Acts of Par-
' liament to tolerate their forme of worship so long
as they are not opposed to public morals, on the
other hand I think it is our duty openly to avow our
Christian faith, and by precept and example to show
that we are a Chi istiau nation, acting upon Christian
principles. (Ceeer4.) What We have now to look for
is the punishment of those who have so grossly be-
trayed their trust; the liberal reward of those who
have assisted us, particularly those who have be •
frie nde 1 our countrymen and countrywomen in their
distresses. We shall have t ) reorganize our military
force, which no doubt must in the main be depen-
dent upon European arms, assisted by native troops,
for it will he impes,ible to perform all the duties
by Europeans. By a judicious mixture of the two'
such a force may be maintained as will prevent for
the future the danger from which I hope:we have
now almost escaped. In the next session of Par-
liament the subject will doubtlEss be amply and

party will approach the 4.1,, subject -- ---- than wigiich none
