"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal oontrlbutiona to Gorman medical literature. This is the brit
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-modi.
al reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall cietect any
other equally flagrant evil which it, may be in his power to cor-
rect.”—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers,
and 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
e)uld e..id its way into the bands of those who vaffer from the com-
plaint 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 m3ney...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhooa, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It b, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular.

dgYer Agricultural treudfracayl Societye°nhgeroef,
l. Cater; supported by Mr. Geo. Nor-
man, Mr. Caird, M.P., Mr. Wilkinson, late M.P.
for Lambeth, and the leading gentry of the neigh-
bourhood.
After the usual proceedings in the field the mem-
bers and their friends dined together, Col. Cater
in the chair.
In proposing " The House of Commons," the
CHAIRMAN coupled' with it the name of Mr.- Caird,
a member of that house lind a distinguiehed agri-
culturist.
Mr. CAIRD, M.P., who,was received with much
cheering, in acknowledging the toast, bore testi-
mony to the earnestness and zeal with which- the
House of Commons labour for the welfare of the
people. On one subject, however, they had shown
themselves lamentably deficient, for he remembered
going down one evening early in the last session,
and finding the House almost empty he asked a
friend at the door what was going on ? "Oh
nothing ; something about the tenure of land in
India," was the answer; and so little interest did
the question then excite that the House was within
an ace of being counted out. Very different would
be the interest manifested on such a question now.
And as a member of Parliament he should be de-
ficient in his duty if, in addressing any meeting of
his fellow countrymen, he failed to call their atten-
tion to the revolt in India. He deemed this the
greatest crisis in the history of England since the
Revolution. (Cheers.) it was not our business at
present to philosophize on the wonderful spectacle
of a little island like oursi with less than 30,000,000
of people, rulings mighty territory with 180,000,000
at a distance of 10,000 miles. This was an inheri-
tance bequeathed to us by our ancestors which we
must retain at all hazards and at whateversacrifice,
or lose rank before the world. There were two
things conneoel with this outbreak which was
wonderful indeed. First, the utter unprepared-
ness of the Indian Government for a blow that must
have been long in contemplation ; and secondly, the
heroic constancy and courage of a small body of
Englishmen scattered by handfuls over a line of
1,200 miles in length, surrounded not by au open
enemy, but by tens of thousands of mutinous sol-
diers, whom they bad been taught to look upon as
their comrades in arms. If we lost some of our
ancient prestige by taking only the second part in
the campaign in the Crimea, England had in India
reasserted her position by the calm heroism of her
Anglo-Saxon sons, not picked men, but ordinary
Englishmen. (Loud cheers.) It was dreadful to
think of the atrocities that had been committed and
the fearful r. tribution which must follow, but truly
it needed some such stern rebuke to rouse England
to inquiry and exertion. What did the people or
Pail ament of England know of India ? Literally
nothing. We had treated it as an outlying farm,
which, if it left no great profit to ourselves, yet
gave profitable employment and wealth to some
junior members of the family who were sent out to
manage it. But the welfare of 180,000,000 of people
was not so to be treated. (Hear.) For the talent
we had received we were now called to render an
account, and if we had hid it iu the ground, ac-
tuated by no higher motives than half-yearly divi-
dends, the time seemed to have come when it must
be taken from the hand that had failed to use it
with advantage, and be intrusted to better keeping.
(Cheers.) For 100 years we had borne sway over
the riche4 territory in the world, and had been
contented not only to witness but to encourage the
grossest idolatry and superstition, without in all
that time impressing upon the native population a
particle of the spirit of our religion or our princi-
ples of truth, justice, and humanity. (Hear.) It
was but a year ago that the Government in India
admitted the truth of the statements in a memorial
presented to th-m, which alleged that the rural
population of Bengal, many millions of people,
were suffering from a native magistracy who were
corrupt, oppressive, and incompetent, who encou-
raged the concealment and commission of crime,
while the people were reduced to beggary and
pitiable servitude. (Hear.) The time had not
come, nor was this the place, for discussing our
future Indian policy; but the light was now burst-
ing in, and the people of England would not permit
its fair fame to be tarnished by the continuance of
a policy which bore no better fruits than these.
We must have due precedence given in our Indian
empire to English ideas, language, and religion,
not intolerant of the religion of others so long as it
was not offensive to morals, but giving no coun-
tenance or encouragement to idolatry, and selecting
for special reward in the service of the State those,
whether natives or English, who best approved
themselves our friends by similarity of religion,
language and spirit. (Loud cheers.) He begged to
offer one word in conclusion on the vengeance to
be taken on the ruthless murderers of English
women and children. There was surely no need to
encourage such a spirit. It might be safely left in
the hands of those who were on the spot, who
could best appreciate the crime and mete out its
punishment. He had no fear but that the gener-
ous and merciful character of the English soldier
would at the proper time temper justice with
mercy. (Much cheering.)
An interesting discussion followed, in which the
Chairman, Mr. Norman. and Mr. Caird, M.P.,
took part, on the relative expense of farm labour iu

and the mode in which they were paid in kind en-
abled the farmer, at the expense of the labourer, to
pay a ligher rent for his land. He deprecated such
a system, and should not wish to see it introduced
into this country. Mr. Caird, on the other hand,
showed, by taking Mr. Norman's figures, that at
the prices of the last three years the payment of
the Scotch labourer in kind gave him a much
greater supply of the comforts and necessaries
of life than could be procured by the "
money wages of the English labourer, who
had to pay out of his wages a weekly house rent
while the Scotch farm labourer lived rent free.
He also pointed to the fact that such a thing as an
agricultural labourer seeking parish relief was un-
kown, while here they gave prizes to the labourer
who could bring up his family without parish aid.
He agreed with Mr. Norman that a certain expen-
diture on labour was more productive on a Scotch
than an English farm, and thus left a larger ba-
lance for rent. But that arose from the individual
labourer being better fed, bettereducated, and thus
more intelligeirt, while his labour was more econo-
mically and effectively applied on farms laid out
with a special reference to the production of crops.
He found no fault with landlords who preferred the
beauty and charm of woodland scenery, small en-
closures, wide hedgerows and a good head of game,
and within that distance of London he thought
they were right in doing so, for their property
would ultimately become more valuable as attrac-
tive building sites than for agricultural purposes.
But in such circumstances labour must be more
costly and less effective, and agricultural rents
proportionally low. (Hear.)
Mr. WILKINSON, in proposing the health of the
Chairman, said, that he made it a rule never to
speak on a subject which he did not understand,
and he bad therefore taken no part in the discus •
sion. On former occasions in that room be had
argued some unpalatable questions, but he believed
they now all agreed with him that farmers, like
other classes in this country, required no other
protection than their own skill, enterprise, and in-
dustry. His own agricultural experience was com-
paratively limited, and it reminded him of a ques-
tion that was put to him a few days ago by an emi-
nent banker and landholtlerin this neighbourhood—
" Mr. Wilkinson, are you afflicted with a farm t"
(Laughter.) He concluded by proposing the
health of the Chairman," which was received with
much cheering.
Colonel CATOR returned thanks, referring in the
course of his speech to the advantage of providing
improved dwellings for the labourers, and
After a-few other toasts the meeting broke up.
