TORAH.CEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.  Translated from the German of Dr. PIekFORD.  " 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 resemble it are accurately described, 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 preliminary 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."— Dublin Medical Press.  out the slightest attempt at concealment. Very few of the poor creatures here attacked escaped with their pig-tails, none of them without injury of some kind, whilst every article of the property they had endeavoured to take with theni was plundered of all that was valuable, and then burnt. Some of the acts of barbarism said to have been committed here were such, that Englishmen can scarce be brought to credit that their countrymen could be guilty of them—for who amongst the British people could ever believe that men of their own country, Britons, would take the Chinese pigtails with the scalp attached ? That this was done in more than one instance there can be no doubt, since the possessors of these trophies made no concealment of them, but rather prided themselves on their possession. Some of the scenes that then took place are thus described by our special' correspondent :—Men, or rather monsters, on horseback, armed with bludgeons and whips, with a fiend- like fury, securing the unfortunate creatures by taking hold of their tails and pulling their heads, so that they came with their backs to the horse and their heads upon the saddle, and then cutting, or rather sawing them off, and leaving them to the fury of others who surrounded them. Ono unfortunate Chinese boy went down upon his knees, the tears ran down hisXcheeks as he lifted his hands and pleaded for mercy; a ruffian, with a bludgeon sufficient to kill a giant, with one blow felled him to the ground. Another unfortunate creature, a cripple, was trying to crawl away into the bush—he could not walk—and endeavouring to take a blanket; it was ruthlessly torn from him and carried to oa— to,er. +heir property was being consumed. Here was to be seen another pronreo head laid open, and the bloo I running down his face—truly terrible to behold. But these details are sickening. I have only mentioned what came ender my own notice. Were 1 to narrate only a tithe of the atrocities committed that day, that have been communicated to me, it would fill a volume. Mr. Henley, the Chinese interpreter, in a letter he has addressed to the Governor, detailing his view of this outrage, mentions the following :—A European woman with three small children, who is the wife of a Chinaman, was sitting in her tent rocking her baby in the cradle. The lawless mob burned down her tent, and her cradle wherein the infant was sleeping. Her own and children's clothes were torn to pieces by a lot of vagabonds, who counselled together for the violation of the woman and murder of the children, but were prevented by the timely interference of some of their number less hardened than the others.
