ON TRUE ttz FALSE SPERMA.TORREIG4]A,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary flom the
Real Sufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure.
Translated frcm the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his irequent practi-
cal coffribut!oas to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the noa-medi-
-351 reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall letact any
rthor equally flsgrant evil which It may be in his power to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
Intl 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
:ould and its way into the hands of those whe suffer from the com-
alaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
he :raved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
013. importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
.nuch money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical srtem of treating Spermatorrhoaa, and to place the treat-
slent upon a more rational and phriologleal basis. It is, therefore,
ikely to do n uch good."—Medical Circular.

MEXICAN BONDHOLDERS.

rrhee
following:
Mexican is from the Committee of
Bondholders,
T— ‘ committee have received. advice.; from Mr.
Whitehea3, dated the let ult., transmitting a decree
signed by the President on the 231, and published in
the official Gazette of Mexico on the 29th of January,
which embodies an agreement negotiated by Mr. White-
head with the late Minister of Finance, Senor Lerdo, for
carrying into effect the third article of -the decree of the
14th of October, 1850. The committee have also re-
ceived this decree officially through the hands of the
Mexican financial agency here. A translation of it will
be sent to-morrow. It is very valuable as a distinct re-
cognition of the port agents of the bondholders in Mexico
as collectors and receivers of the revenues assigned for
the payment of interest on the debt, and is likely to re-
sult in greater security for the future. But, though the
nee; decree came into force on the day of its publication,
it wdl practically remain inoperative for some time yet as
regards an increase of remittances, because the Mexican
Geverfiment has encumbered the revenues from the Cos-
terns by orders and anticipations to the amount of some
$2,000,000.
:" There was a rumour that the Mexican Government
would receive from that of the United States a pecu-
n,ary supply of from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000, which
the public connected with some alleged arrangement
about. the Tehuantepec route.
• " The packet brings no remittance for the dividend
fund, but $B,OOO have been pent by the agents at Mazat-
lan by her Majesty's ship Trincomalee to Panama.
" San Luis de Potosi bad been evacuated by the insur-
gente, but Tampico continued to refuse admission to the
governor appointed by Government, and the Spanish
Legation had left Mexico in consequence of the a,llegeri
inactivity of the Government in bringing to justice the
murderers of the Spaniards near Cueruavaca.

LARGE FIGURES OF SPERM-Mr. Cobden fixes the
popula:ioe of China at 300,000,000. The Duke of Argyll
said on the same evening that it was 200,000,000. Here
is the difference of only 100,000,000! A hundred million
souls (if the Chinese are allowed to have souls), are cer-
tainly not much in taking the census of a country. Now,
we propse that the two gentlemen be sent out on a mis-
sion to ascertain what the precise population of China is,
and not be allowed to return home until they have satis-
factorily set,led the difference between them. In the
meantime Mr. Rowland Hill can occupy the Duke of
Argyll's place, and, as for Mr. Cobden, it will be no
great loss to the nation if his place is not filled up just at
present.—Punch.
FACTION FIGUTS IN PARLIAMENT.—La Verite (Paris
paper), after referring to the recent debate on China,
makes the following pointed comments :—" This slight
glance at the intrigues of English members of Parliament
and the political conduct of Lord John Russell can only
inspire us with one thought—namely, that it is with the
Parliament of England as it was formerly with the
French Chambers, where the affairs of the country, the
most important interests of the community, were rele-
gated to the second rank, in order to give place to the
play of personal vanity and ambition. The coalition of
parties in the House of Commons forces one of its prin-
c.pal members, and doubtless many others with him, to
vote sometimes in one way and sometimes in another, ac-
cording to the exigencies of personal interest, and not
with regard to the interests of the State. Who will be
Minister after Lord Palmerston The Whigs or the
Tories, or else one of those thousand shades which at
this moment compose the infinitely divided opinions
of the. English Parliament ? Such is the question
in agitation, and the serious questions on which
the debate hinges will be resolved accord
ing to the chances of such or such a candidate for office,
and not according to a true and right regard for the in-
terests of the country, and in conformity with the eternal
laws, of justice and political morality. This Is a sad
. spectacle; this is, indeed, the dark side of the Parlia-
mentary system of government--speechifying preferred
to business, and the country sacrificed to petty personal
ambition. Such is the mural to be deduced from the
debates in Parliament, and we really think we have
reason to congratulate ourselves that we have not to
suffer the same inconvenience in France."
