The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power i n th e di agnos i s o f t h e var i ous kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded, demonstrating his success and egplainlng the cause of it. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

With Practical Observations on the Cure of these Diseases, and on the extraordinary re storative power of LOCAL GALVANISM in cases ofnervous prostration, muscular debility, and functional incapacity, when used in combination with the remedial agents so suc cessfully employed by the Author during a practice of up wards of Twenty years.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Registered Licentiate of the London Society of Apothecaries, Doctor of Medicine of the Universit r of Erlangen, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new .edition of ' Self-Preservation,' facts of para mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physie.al and moral degradation. In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits. indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, hardship, or by injudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible.

BRIGHT'S REFORM BILL. CONFERENCE OF REFORIvIBRS AT BRADFORD. BRADFORD, TUESDAY. This afternoon a conference was held in St. George's Hall, Bradford, to take Mr. Bright's scheme of reform into consideration, and at which the hon. member attended for the purpose of ex plaining any points upon which it was thought desirable to have a more definite explanation. There was a very full attendance of gentlemen from the surrounding districts. Mr. TITUS SALT took the chair, and having opened the proceedings, Mr. FOETSER (of Leeds) said he thought that, however much they might differ with regard to the details, they were tolerably unanimous as to the general principles of .the bill described by Mr. Bright on the previous evening. For himself, he should be very glad to see the second reading of such a measure in the House of Commons, feeling satisfied that any trifling defects which might be, contained in it would be easily = remedied in com mittee. It was necessary, however, that the people themselves should take an active part in support of the bill, and he therefore trusted that the result of the cenference would be the formation of a society to carry on the battle of Reform in the West Rid• ing of Yorkshire. (Hear, heir.) Mr. BUCK (Burnley) believed that Mr. Bright had mistaken both the disease and the remedy. The real disease to b e remove d was ignorance, and, as the only remedy was increased intelligence,' he thought that any new., Reform Bill ought to be based upon the educational test. .Mr.„;FAIg. (Bradford) wished to know how it - wits that Mr. - I:fright, after stating that the territorial interestiwas at present adequately represented, both in the Lords and Commons, could consistently add more members to the counties,: and leave such places as Dewsbury and Skipthn . unrepresented. After some remarks from Mr. KENNON, Mr. KELLY (of Heckmondwike) , believed the object of . the conference was to elicit the opinions of gentlemen connected with various parts of the Riding with respect to the proposed measure of Reform, and expressed a hope tbatthc conversation would be entirely limited to that point. (Hear.) Mr. LUPTON (of Leeds) said, It appeared from the report of Mr. Bright's speech ;that Leeds, Liver pool, and other large towns to which additional members were to be given Were to be divided. Now, he had misunderstood the speech of the hon. member if that was really the ase, and wished to know whether his impression correct. Mr. JORN CROSSLAND •Said, e was deputed by the Halifax Household Suffrag and Ballot Asso ciation to represent the feeling: f the members of that body on the present occasi . They were most anxious to assist Mr.Brightint e arduous struggle in which Ie was at, present enga ed, and were fully convinced that a measure so extensive in its nature: could not be carried without a strong and united effort on, the part of the adv4cates of Reform. (Hear, hear.) After several other gentlemqn had given their opinions Mr. Moss (of Bradford) wishid to know what Mr. Bright proposed t o d o wit respect to those populotis and . important villages which were so anxious to secure the right of voting. Mr. EDWARDS thought that the first thing to be done was to request Mr. Bright to draw out a pre amble of the bill he had siiggestdd on the previous evening, in order that it should be placed in the hands of every elector in the kingdom. Mr. A. ILLINGWORTH (of Bradford) apprehended that they attended that meeting as reformers to discuss the question of reform. They had no notion of the Government passing any bill without, in the first instance, ascertaining the feeling of the great majority of the constituencies on the subject. They *ere now anxious to receive such suggestions as were calculated to produce an organised mode of action which should give tone and character to the present reform agitation. Mr. HARTLEY (of Pickering) was of opinion that the bill' as proposed by Mr. Bright would consoli date the interests of the true Liberals of the king dom, promote those of the population generally, give increased strength to the constitution and at the same time add to the firmness of the Crown. It was one which was deserving of the best support of all Liberals: Mr. BRIGHT-Mr. Chairman, I am very glad to have the opportunity this morning of meeting so large a number of those who are anxious on the question of reform. After the meeting which was recently held at Edinburgh we had a conference very much of this character, and before the meet ing at Glasgow there was a small meeting of a simi lar character. I believe the effect of the coming together of persons from different parts of those districts in Scotland was very much to help forward a united movement in that part of the kingdom, and I believe the result of this meeting will be to put things in train, so that the effect of last night's meeting will not merely be the pleasure—if it were a pleasure—of hearing a speech on a great subject, but of carrying out in succeeding weeks and months a movement which shall bring about a great result in the country. (Cheers.) Various questions h&ve been put to me to-day respecting niy proposed measure. You probably observed last night that I spoke, unfortunately, fbr a considerable portion of the time with much difficulty (sympathetic cheers) and I was not able to give that clear and minute account of the changes I have proposed which I should have wished to do. But the day before the meeting I had posted a copy of the schedules con taining the arrangement of the representation of all the boroughs and some, of the counties of the united kingdom as I proposed it should stand in case the bill becomes law, to newspapers in Edin burgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds, Liverpool, Man chester, Birmingham, Bristol, and London. As far as I know, I sent them to all the daily morning papers the names of which I happened to have, and it is possible that this very day in many of those paper such schedules will be published. I think, therefore, the object of one of the speakers will be pretty well accomplished, because befoie a week has elapsed, those schedules will be in the possession of all who read the newspapers—(hear, hear)—and if there is any point on which I have not quite ex plained myself they can refer to these schedules, and, with the exception of any slight error which may have crept into the figures and calculations, they will be able to obtain a pretty accurate idea of the changes I contemplate. There is one point which has been referred to here with respect to Schedule F, which describes the boroughs that are to have four members each. It is intended that each of those boroughs should be divided into two wards, each elector to be registered in one ward only. I need not enter into any detailed argument on that point now, nor go into the reasons which induced me and those earnest men with whom 1 am acting:to adopt that principle; . I can only say that long before this bill goes before a committee of the House of Commons—if it should ever have the good fortune to reach that stage—the opinion of the country will probably be unmistakeably signified on that point. I have told you before that it is utterly impossible for any human being to produce a plan of reform on the basis of apportioning the representation to the population with arithmetical exactness unless he cuts the country up into elec toral districts, and it is probable that no plan whatever could be drawn up which would not have to encounter the strongest objections. Suppose I adopted the basis of giving three members to boroughs with a population of 54,000, on the one side it would be said why not adopt 64,000 as the basis, and on the other 34,000. I say that you must draw a line somewhere and submit it to the fairness and good sense of the country, trusting that they Will look at it as a whole, and give it that general ,support without which no scheme whatever can be carried. There is another point I should like to explain. You will find towards the end of these schedules a general abstract showing the result of the proposed change. It puts the boroughs into six classes, and these classes are based chiefly on their population, but with respect to the taxation return, which is not exactly similar, I begin with boroughs having a population under 16,000. Then there is a step from 16,000 to 25,000, where I leave things pretty much as they are now. From 25,000 to 54,000, which doubles it, and a little more, I make another step from 54,000 to 130,000, which doubles it, and a little more, then from 130,000 I go to 270,000, which doubles it and a little more, and then I get to the largest boroughs of 300,000 and 400,000—there arc five of them, and I propose to give six members each to them. Whether a town like Manchester should be divided into two wards, with three members to each, into three wards with two members each, or into six wards with each one member, will be for the consideration of the Parlia mentary committee, and I hope that the arrange ment I have proposed will bethought advantageous to the country. (Hear.) A gentleman here put a question to me with _ regard to the counties, upon which I must make an observation in reply. Last night I stated that I thought, so far as the land was Concerned, that the represchtation of 'the counties in the House of Commons, Conjoined with the repre sentation of the land which exists in the House of Balance brought down .... £13,822 1 5 £13,822 1 5 The Report and Balance sheet having been read, The CHAIRMAN moved, and JOSEPHUNDERWOOD, Esq., seconded, the adoption of the Report, wheh It was resolved,—That the Report and.

A MAN AND HIS WIFE COMMITTED I , OR MURDERING THEIR CHILD. On Monday, Mr. Herford held an inquest at the William IV. public-house, Rushulme-road, on the body of a female infant, aged four days, :,the child of John and Charlotte Parkinson. Mrs. Elizabeth Maivdsley, of Hyde-grove, stated that on the sth inst. the parents of the child engaged lodgings at her house, and afterwards entered them. About midnight on Saturday week, Mrs. Parkinson was confined, and her husband went for a surgeon. No nurse was sent for, the husband saying that he could do all that was wanted himself. The child seemed to have arrived at maturity, and several times the witness observed that it was going on remarkably well. In reply to the witness's questions, Mr. Parkinson told her that the doctor had said the child was weak in the lungs, and would die in convulsions. On Wednes day morning the child appeared to be going on remarkably well, but the next morning it died. Witness questioned the parents about the death, as she found that it had died with its mouth open, and that its lips and tongue were quite black. They replied that " it was inwardly convulsed, and that they had watched it die." The husband said, " Now, we must get it interred as soon as we can, and we must do it as a still-born child." Witness told them they would have to bury it in a proper manner. The husband went for a joiner to make a coffin, and on Friday Mrs. Parkinson told witness that the child was going to be buried, and that they had a certificate from the registrar; and she seemed " well pleased" at it. Mr. Charles James Rix, surgeon, said he attended Mrs. Parkinson soon after midnight on Saturday. There had been no preparations. In reply to a question which was put to him by somebody, and which he thought was a strange one, he told them that the child was " likely enough to live." It had arrived at maturity. He never made any remark (as stated by Mrs. Parkinson to the former witness) about the child having convulsions, or being likely to die, or anything of the kind. On Monday the child was doing well. On Thursday Parkinson came to him, and told him that the child was dead, and asked for a certificate, which he refused to give. On Saturday he made a post mortem exami nation, and found that the child had been generally healthy. It had died from suffocation. The dis colorations on the chin and neck might have been done during or after death. The same pressure might produce suffocation and the appearances under the chin. Mr. E. B. Rowley, registrar of births and deaths, said that Parkinson came to him to register the child, but brought no medical certificate, alleging that the child was so young and prematu re th a t h e did not think it worth while. He therefore regis tered it as "premature and not certified." The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against John and Charlotte Parkinson." Lords, has hitherto given to the land, as we all know from past and sorrowful experience, a predo-, minant influence in both houses. But there are many counties which have grown up into great populations in which there have arisen great inte rests not connected with the land, as, for example; the man u f ac t ur i ng v ill ages of Yorkshire, ,Lanca-' shire, and other counties. The population has be come so large in these counties as to overshadow the territorial influence, and I therefore thought in disposing of the new seats, after giving a fair re presentation to the boroughs, it was not unjust and would not be pernicious, but, on the contrary, would be just and advantageous, that these c0m1.." ties should have an ad d iti on t o th e num b er o f t h e i r representatives. For that reason Lord J. Itis'sell, in his - 1411 of 1854; proposed to divide the 'Vest Riding .of Yorkshire into two divisions, giving, four mem. hers where there are now only two, and 'alSo to *con stitute a new division in Lancashire with an addi tional number of members. AlliSion has been made to the villages or towns of :Reighley, Doncaster, and Rotherham. There must be some - line drawn, and in order to do . so, I have taken the .censers of 1851.. In my opinion it is of no use to ask Parliament and the Government to disfranchise small borouers in one part of the country if they are to create small boroughs in other parts of the country.. (Hear, hear.) If you. are to take every town of 10,000 or 12,000. inhabitants and make a borough of it, you will weaken ,the popular party .by withdrawing their influence from the counties And will'do one of the most injurious things-that can be done. In point of fact you•vvill do that from. which Vu have already suffered so much. You will make: your representa , tion henceforth as it has heenin thiptSf;se excissr sively arepresentation•of the land that the county members are of no use whatever in considering the great interests of commerce. (Hear.) With regard to the particular towns to which reference has been made, you will find in the general abstract at the bottom of my schedules a statement that there re main seven seats not yet disposed of. These seven seats have been reserved because I was of opinion, and am still, that there may be two, three, four, or more towns which could fairly represent to Parlia ment that their population is such as to justify their being made into boroughs, if this bill should ever pass a second reading in the House of Commons. (Hear.) While it was passing through committee, no doubt if it were in the hands of the GOvernment, •r in the hands of a private member, all questions with regard to these towns would be fairly consi dered. 'this, .however, must always, be borne in mind,—you: may make in every place you like a sufficient population if you take a sufficient district of parishes and add to ft, but that is net th e wayto make - a bdroirgh. 'lt is the way to weaken a great county; and to.make a very small county - inside it, but that is,not precisely what we are looking for. (Cheers.) 'A town which has not, population enough in itself to be made a borough had much better re main with: the Bounty and exercise its influence 'along with the county, in order that the borough :and county influence may be blended together. :(Cheers.) I haVe been asked - why in the village or 'town of Paclsey, and 'some others, a man should not vote unless he occupied a £lO house, when in Bradford he would vote if he. occupied a £5 hoise. That evidently is a discrepancy.. It is a state of things which exists, now and would exist after my bill. became law (if ever it should. become law) ; but it arises from this fact, that you have always had in your county and borough representation an entire difference. Public opinion does not appear to have made up .its mind as to the point at which these franchises should be equalised. All your agri cultural labourerS, as:ou well know, are entirely non-political. In the purely agricultural districts the newspapers, to a great extent, have. been and are unknown among the agricultural labourers. There is, therefore, no particular object to serve in inviting some hindreds of thousands of persons whose attention has never been turned in the least 4o political questions, who have never apparently been able to manifest an interest in such questions, to share the representation. The time will come, in all probability, when the franchise will be equalled, and when that is considered advisable on the part of the public I should not be one of • those who would be disposed to stand in the way of any equalisation that may be thought desirable ; but I want now to propose that - which,•as far as I can judge,, meets the existing requirements of public opinion, taking into consideration the timidity that exists on the one hand, and the earnestness and the ardour which prevail on the other. (Hear.) Unless you do that your bill will not be practical. The most ardent cannot carry all they wish.. (Hear.) The most ardent will not allow the timid to rest secure in their timidity. We must have something which meets as much of public opinion as will en able it to be carried, and when carried will give such satisfaction as will make the measure work satisfactorily to the whole kingdom.. (Cheers.) I believe I have not touched upon a ll th e ques ti ons which havebeen • raised in the course of discussion. As to what should be done, my notion is this—in the West Ridin 5 of Yorkshire there should be formed a general association ; and if that is done, then .I think that in every town and popul ous neighbour hood in the West Riding there ought to be formed a local association. The special object of these associa tions should be to do two things, perhaps . three. In the first place, to. hold meetings for the diffusion of information among ' the people. Make them thoroughly understand, if you can, the nature of the different schemes which may 'be before the public ; for don't suppose for a moment that I am running about the country to ask the people to take my child off my hands. Nothing of the sort. What I want is a real representation of the people, and I want it to be that sort of representation that the people will feel it to be a representation. (Hear.) Make them thoroughly understand the question. Then have a grand organisation of petitions. Ordi narily when petitions ;come dribbling into the House of Commons at 5 o'clock they are of little use. They are put quietly away, and among the votes at the end of the week there is sent round to the members a list of the various subjectS on which petitions have been presented. But, if it is found that night after night on all sides of the house members get up with great rolls of petitions which they can scarcely carry, specifying that the peti tioners request the house to pass a bill to establish household or any other suffrage, the ballot, and such a distribution of members as will give to all the great towns a' fair influence--specifying if they approve them, when the bills are introduced, the propositions which I have made, or the Government or. anybody else has made—let the table of the House of Commons be loaded night after night and week after week in this way, as I have seen it' on some questions in past times, and then the men in the house, without any elaborate logic, without con stant persuasion and discussion, somehow or other —they don't know exactly how it gets into their heads—begin to say that after all it was a mistake to suppose that the people did not care about the subject, and that I went about it in order to get up an agitation. (Cheers.) What am I, if the question is not one that recommends itself to their hearts? That is the sort of reasoning which will take place in the House of Commons, and as we know it is said by the naturalist that various animals take their colour from the different grasses or leaves on which they repose, so the members of the House of Com mons,loy a process they cannot logically describe, from the old Conservative or Liberal, feeling - that they repose on public sentiment out of doors, and that without public sentiment they are nothing, will gradually moderate their hues, and in the course of 12 months, if this movement goes on with any amount of success, will find that household suf frage is not in any degree dangerous, that the ballot is a convenient mode Of exercising the fran chise, that to give five members to some great cities, six 'to others, three to others, and two tol some of our large towns,, is both a reasonable and constitutional proposition. (Laughter and cheers.) By making a grand, persistent, united, and reso lute expression of opinion on the part of the great middle and working classes of this country, now so happily united, you will find that the House of Commons, and ultimately the House of Lords, will become docile in your hands, and I believe you will find that within a year or two you will have done one of those great things for liberty which will stand forward for ever as a bright spot in the annals of yoir country. (The hon. gentleman re sumed his seat amid great cheering.) Mr. LORD, of Bradford, believed the proposed franchise did not include what were called lodgers, and wished to hear whether Mr. Bright would have any objection to supplement his bill, with a provi sion for the accomplishment of that object? (Hear.) Mr. Thud - au—lf I am not mistaken, I had the honour of receiving a letter from the hon. gentle man who has just spoken respecting the point which he has just mooted. It is a noticeable thing , that there does exist in Scotland at this very mo ment a lodger franchise. The practice in Scotland has been that if a person occupies lodgings of the value of £lO he can be'placed on the register for a Scotch borough ; and when I was in Edinburgh I was inforined that 28 persons in , that city hid' wailed themselves Of that "privilege.

He be lieved, however, that the Government engineers were now alive to the importance of their having an independent terminus in Bombay, and that, being on the most friendly terms with the authori ties, this would be obtained. After some conversation, the report was adopted, and a resolution carried that in future all the cheques for dividend warrants should be crossed, so as to pass through a banker's. In reply to questions it was stated that a bill was in Parliament for enabling them to convert their shares into stock—they having been unable to do so under the present constitution—the calls would depend upon the manner in which, when they were enabled to so convert the shares, the money was paid in advance, and whether they - could obtain permission from the Secretary of State for India to issue debentures, by which they had no doubt of being enabled to save one-half per cent. on the amount. they had to pay for capital. The directors had no wish to press on the shareholders, but ae the works were rapidly proceeding calls would be required unless the money was otherwise paid up. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the pro ceedings. REFORM MEETING AT CHATHAM. One of the most crowded meetings eve r h e ld in Chatham took p/ace in that borough on Monday evening in favour of a measure of reform. The meeting was held in the Lecture-hall, which was filled to overflowing, and hundreds were obliged to leave the doors unable to obtain admission. It was calculated that 1,200 persons were present. The meeting was held under the auspices of the reform party at Chatham, and among those present were : Mr. Wilkins (in the chair), the Rev. Mr. Mac donald, M.A., Mr. Councillor Everest, Messrs. Pat- Political Whitehead, Wm. S w an ( secre t ar y o f th e Political Reform League), Mr. Ernest Jones, &c. Mr. CooK, after going into some statistics in reference to the present electoral system, moved the first resolution :—" That this meeting is of opinion that the present representative system is defective, unjust, and shows great necessity for a new reform bill." - Mr. IV. T. SWAN, the secretary of the London Political Reform League, seconded the resolution. tie said he had been present at one or two elections in Chatham, and observed how they managed these things -in their borough—(laughter)--and ho had ever since considcrcd.that Chatham was a standing argument in favour of the ballot. (Cheers,) To have a fair representative system they must have the ballot, and in perhaps no place was the ballot more required than in Chatham, where there was a great amount of government and other influence brought to bear upon the electors. (Applause.) The ballot he looked to as one of the principal re medies for the present. disgraceful system, which was now in force at all thei r e l ec ti ons . He was sorry Mr.. Bright had. apparently gone aside from the views he originally enunciated at Birmingham, when he expressed himself to be in favour of the widest possible extension of the franchise, whereas the views he had since advocated of a rating fran chise, and a redistribution of seats, would virtually throw the whole political power into the hands of the middle classes, to the exclusion of the working classes. (Applause.) He was sorry Mr. Bright did not propose manhood suffrage, irrespective of a man living in a house of a certain rating, a pro posal which was so unjust that it would not give satisfaction to the people at large. (Cheers.) It was a libel on the working men of this country to say that if they were entrusted with political power they would make an improper use of it. (Cheers.) Depend upon it principles wero better than expe diency—(hear, hear)—and if they acted on that principle, and gave each working man a vote and an interest in the affairs of the country, nothing would tend more to advance its greatness and liberties. MANCHESTER., SHEFFIELD, AND. LINCOLN SHIRE. It appears the accounts of this company for tho half-year ending December 31 have been made up, and show, notwithstanding the competition to which the company has been subjected during the greater part of the half-year, and the depression in trade, a balance sufficient to enable the directors to declare, after payment of the canal annuities and the interest on loans, the usual dividends on deben ture stock, on the £6 preference shares, on the 31 per cent. preference .stock, the £6 preference stock, and the dividend on the new £lO redeemable £6 per cent. shares, leaving a balance of over £5,000 to the credit of the next half-year. The resolution was then put to the meeting, and carried unanimously. Mr. PATTISON proposed the next resolution : " That this meeting is of opinion that anything short of a registered manhood suffrage, Tote by ballot, shortening the duration of Parliament, and more equal electoral districts, would be ineffectual and inefficient." Mr. F. WHITEHEAD seconded the resolution. Mr. ERNEST JONES next addressed the meeting. He thought no one would deny that if the people were to be allowed to vote, it was absolutely essen tial that the vote itself should be free, a reality, and not a sham. (Cheers.) A vote was only free when the thing that conferred the vote was the property of the voter, and not the property of ano ther man. Base the vote on a house, a ratebook, or anything else, and in nine ,e'a,ses out of ten that vote would not be his own property, but would depend on the will of some other man. He accord ingly set his face whist either a household. or lodging franchise, because the great body of work ing men would not thereby be enfranchised. In the manufacturing districts the millowner now b u ilt cottages in which he compelled his workmen to reside, and therefore in a house rating their vo t es would be entirely dependent on him, because by a rating clause he could virtually disfranchise the whole of his servants. But some might say that the landlords tsiwouldechpraenpsoeotnwut power. .esfuoccchi Reform poweraeer sßill.)w a ;4 0y e w,s ( v :N oe l rr r ie .

Ntrh - that n spwo u rro m bomen b agi e su i e. ; of £lO householders had been struck off the register on mere quibbles. On that ground, therefore, he oppesed everything except a manhood franchise. Depend upon it; any other than that of manhood suffrage would be a failure. He did not wish to lead tie people to. Mr. Bright but Mr. Bright to the people, because, if the people wished it, Mr. Bright was prepared to ask for manhood suffrage. The people had always been right in their demands, and, although he did not think that a reform bill would pass this session, he trusted the masses would demand the widest extension of the franchise, which had long been promised, but somehow the people never got it. Even now there would be some false cry raised to lure them off the scent, and at present there was a collusion going on between France and. Austria to get up a sham quarrel. (Cheers.) All the crowned heads of Europe (with the exception. of our own Queen) were in league with the aristocracies; but while despots squabbled were we at home to be denied reform ? No, let us rather set an example to the nations of Europe by showing that the best way to gain the love of the people to their own country was to obtain their goodwill by granting the reforms they demanded. (Loud cheers.) Several other gentlemen having addressed the meeting, the resolution was carried with but two dissentients amidst loud cheers. , chairman.proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to The t e ' TWO MORE WOUEN BURNT TO DEATII.--At Frbuchie, the other evening, Mrs. Henderson was seated by her fireside in company with another woman, 'when her dress took fire, and befernthe flames could be 'extinguished she was so severely burnt that she died.

Yesterday Mr. Smith and Mr. Frere, the Exami ners on Standing Orders of Bills for Railways, commenced their sittings in Nos. 16 and 17 Com mittee-rooms, House of Commons, for the examina tion of bills for both Houses of Parliament. The following Railway Bills were declared to have complied with the standing orders : (Before Mr. Smith.) rormartine and Buchan.—To abandon the con struction of the branch line to Ellon._ Vv East Kent.—To change the name of the company and to raise further share capital.

STATE 01 TRADE. LEEDS, Jan. 18.—There is no material change in either the condition or the prospects of the woollen cloth trade. There has been a fair attendance of buyers in the cloth-halls this morning, and inquiries as to new goods were pretty general. All things considered, a fair amount of business was none. Prices both of wool and cloths are very firm. Many of the manufacturers are engaged on orders that will keep them employed till the end'of February, or even into March. MANCHESTER, Jan. 18.--L-Thl letters ream Ina which came to hand yesterday contain most favour able accounts, and the consequence is that the com parative quietness which prevailed last week has disappeared, and largfuelleraoutteras,cftosrhfauNt'eurbeeednaghi,Ne-eryn ecreys extending t o a p er i o d o f two _o u i t n fo s r o c n l i o e th h , l a st t a l n , and even three months hence. These contracts em brace shirtings and all kinds of India fabrics. The Canadians in this market are buying pretty freely, but there is no t much doing for the United States. For the home trade there is no activity, but the extent to which looms have been diverted to the production of India goods is giving increased firm ness in price to most fabrics. In yarns a fair busi ness is doing for the home trade, at full prices, but for export yarns the market is quiet, and where spinners are coming out of contracts they are iv L ing to renew them at a decline of about 4el. per lb. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :—" There is no particular change in the market to report to-day. There is, 'perhaps, rather more disposition to buy India- goods for distant delivery, especially the wider scats and a fai • amount of business has been done in them at very full rates. Other desc, i Aions continue in fair request at steady prices." )d N). NI )d kl r os: 'l-WWl°
