For that reason I had intended to resign the seat in Parliament I owe to your favour, feeling unequal to the fatigues of a c invass, and fearing that they would in capacitate me fbr the discharge of my duties towards you if re-elected. I have been, however, urged by many am ong y on w h ose names carry weight with all parties and ranks in our county, and with a warmth of sympathy and kindness which any sacrifice on my part could but scantily repay, once more to place my services at your disposal. They assure me of your indulgence if I am compelled to take such repose as I can obtain between the expiration of this and the meeting of the next Parliament, and if I am, therefore unable to wait on you in person. Under these circumstances, I leave it to yon to decide whether you will renew the trust with which you have thrice honoured me, and which, if permitted by Providence 'to re cover the health and strength which now fail me, - I shall con tinue to task every effort to deserve.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures o the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific,principles upon which their management is founded. 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.

The object of this Company is osPEc to continue energetic work ings on this valuable mineral property, which were suspended in consequence of the monetary panic and altered circum stances of several of the principal shareholders of the old Devon Kapunda Company, after an expenditure of upwards of 420,000 in the erection of a plant of most superior machi nery, all necessary buildings, and the develop ment general of the property, an of which are availab l e to the preset Com pany. The steam engine is of 40-inch cylinder, with 10 feet stroke. - - - - - - . Apart from these facts, it is no evidence of demerit that a mine should cease to be worked by the original adventurers ; and, indeed, there are but few that have been commenced and Carried on by the same association of shareholders to a suc cessful and profitable issue. The Devon Great Consols, South Caradon, Phoenix, and most of the leading mines in the two western counties of Devon and Cornwall have yielded the returns of profit to others than those who first worked the respective properties. This property is most advantageously situate on the banks of the Tamar, in the parish of South Sydenham, about 1 mile north of the celebrated Devon Great Consols Mines, which are now giving to the shareholders about X 50,000 annually. It is in one of the richest and most extensive metalliferous dis tricts in the kingdom. Two of the lodes have been wrought to the depth of 50 fathoms below the adit level, and will form a junction a few fathoms east of the present workings, where there is every reasonable prospect of a good deposit of ore being met with. The lode in the end of the eastern drivings on the south lode is of an extraordinary character, is a strong masterly lode, containing copper ore of superior quality, and shows evidently that the workings are nearing a very im portant deposit. There are three shafts sunk, the engine shaft that is down to the 34 fathom level below the adit, the whim shaft 50 fathoms, and the trial shaft 20 fathoms below the adit. The property extends over an era of 130 acres, being about 700 fathoms in length, and about 300 fathoms in breadth. Many tons of rich silver lead ore have been raised at the upper levels, but at the deeper levels the general character of the lode is changed from lead to copper ore. This altera tion in the character of the lode is very important, and cor responds exactly with the change in the stratification, thus affording ample proof that there can be no reasonable doubt of the success of the undertaking. Mr. J. H. Hitchins has either introduced, or recommended by reports, most of the mines in the Tavistock district which have proved remunerative, and the confidence of this gentle man in the Devon Kapunda is shown by his adhesion to the enterprise. Captain Joseph Cock, the agent of the mine, reports, nndor date of March 23, 1859, that "The 50 fathom level, which is in course of driving east on the south lode, appears to be changing for the better. The ground is moderately easy and favourable. The lode is about 274- feet wide, composed chiefly of spar and mundic, intermixed with rood stones of copper ore, a box of which I have for warded. Its indications and character are highly encou raging. This level has been extended on the course of the lode for many fathoms, and is now approaching an important point, that is, the junction of two lodes. According to the presentfaebearings of these lodes there are probably' . about 12 to consider fathoms more to drive before reaching the junction. I posit of oreebe.is a fair and reasonable prospect of a good de drivage the b ei ng met with at the junction. Throughout the the upper level: presents a much better appearance than in discoveries. r . A deeper level will no doubt lead to valuable character, andtTit;eerare other parts of the mine of a promising prove a profitable aned is maasting mine." scarcely any doubt but that it will Prospectuses, with cation for shares may bleas,oilrions, Are., and forms of appli any, or on application to the s o licitors at the offices of the Com ' London, April 9, 1859. or brokers.

Colonel KINGSCOTE asked the Secretary of State for India whether it was the intention of Government, now that the commissioned ranks of her Majesty's Indian artillery and engineers had been so fully assimilated in other respects to those branches of the army at home, to complete the tmiformity extending to the retired field officers the privilege enjoyed by those of the royal artillery and engineers,. of not allowing them to be superseded (in rank) by their brother officers who remained on the effective strength of their corps. THE TROOPS AT TRINIDAD. Sir DE LACY EVANS asked the Secretary of State for War by whose authority, and for what reasons, the detach ment of the 41st Regiment at Trinidad, which had been moved out of barracks into camp, on account of the mor tality and disease which had occurred in the former, were subsequently ordered back into barracks, where the severe losses they had previously been exposed to were renewed.

She is to make a series of trials of Griffiths's screw at various pitches, and also of the common screw considerably modified and altered in various ways. The Cheerful, 2, screw steam gunboat, was hauled up some short time since on the gunboat slipway at Haslar to have her boilers lifted and replaced on cast-iron sleepers (in the same manner as all the gunboats are fitted that are now in the sheds at Has lar). This being completed, she was yesterday, under the superintendence of Captain Gordon, com manding steam reserve, and M r . G. Murdoch, in spector of machinery afloat, launched off the slipway with her steam up, and immediately she reached the water she steamed away to her harbour moor ings.

The following bills were severally read a third time : Glasgow Public Works and Galleries of Art ; Kingstown Water ; York Improvement ; Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway ; and Ipswich Fisheries. RED SEA AND INDIAN TELEGRAPH COMPANY. On the motion that this bill be read a second time, Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY complained' of the agreement entered into by the Treasury with this company. By that agreement four and a-half per cent. was guaranteed the company on a capital of £BOO,OOO. He thought the Government ought to have undertaken the construction of the telegraph ; it could have borrowed money at 3i per cent., instead of !guaranteeing a public company 41 per cent., and, in the event of a great success, reaping the whole of the benefit. Some of the provisions of the contract he thought monstrous, and it not only gave the company the power of laying down a telegraph between Suez and Kurrachee, but in anyplace that it might think desirable. He was of opinion that Parliament ought not to give its sanction to the arrangement. The Earl of DERBY thought that the bill would re ceive as much attention as a private bill as it would if in troduced as &public one. The noble lord opposite laboured under a mistake with respect to the amount upon which 4i per cent. had been given. It was true £BOO,OOO was the capital of the company, but it was not upon that sum that the interest was guaranteed but upon the sum actually spent in laying down the telegraph. In the event of the telegraph not being completed the contract would fall to the ground. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH tho ught the Govern ment had taken the proper course. He thought it unfor tunate to overestimate the importance of the pro posed communication with India in a political and military point of view. He had himself on a former occasion advocated the establishment of such a telegraph, and it would in the present instance be absolutely impossible for the company to advance a single step in the work without the co-operation and support• of the Government. _ Lord WODEHOUSE agreed in many of the observa tions of the noble lord below him (Lord Stanley ,of Alder ley). It would be impossible to attach too much importance to the establishment of a rapid communication with India, but in doing so it was necessary to have a company in a sound financial position. If this bill was rejected it would no doubt cause great delay ; but he thought notwithstand ing that the Government ought to reconsider their deter mination. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE hoped the house would assent to the third reading of the bill. At the end of the present month telegraphic communication would be esta blished between Suez and Aden. _ Lord STANLEY of Alderley said he did not wish to op pose the bill, but he hoped further progress would be stopped until Parliament had had an opportunity of considering the agreement. The Earl of DERBY said he had no objection, only great delay would be the result of postponing the bill for the pre sent session, and allowing it to be taken up with other pri vate bills next session. The third reading of the bill was accordingly postponed. EDUCATION IN INDIA, The Duke of ARGYLL called the attention of their lord ships to a letter from the Earl of Ellenborough, President of the Board of Control, to the chairman and deputy-chair man of the East India Company, dated April 28, 1858, and moved that a humble address be pre sented to 'her Majesty for a copy of the regulation and conditions under which the grants in aid of schools are afforded by the Government of India ; and also for a re turn of the number of schools which have received such grants, distinguishing those which are under native man agement and those which are conducted by Europeans, and of the amount of such grants in each case. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tms EVENING). The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

COLONEL DICKSON. _ . Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice that on Monday next he would ask whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to reinstate Col. Dickson in his commission in the Tower Hamlets Militia, considering the verdict that had been obtained by him at the recent trial at Westmins ter-hall. APPOINTMENT OF MAGISTRATES AT NEW BURY. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said ho had to ask a question, and in order to do so formally, he would move that the house at its rising do adjourn till Monday. It appeared that five magistrates had been appoint e d b y t h e Lord Chancellor for the borough of Newbury in opposition to the wish of the municipal body, three of whom were Conservatives and two Liberals. MAGISTRATES FOR THE CITY OF HEREFORD. Colonel CLIFFORD asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he had received any subsequent information which would enable him to qualify the state ment ha had made the other evening as to a public meeting, alleged to have been held in Hereford, previously to the recent appointment of magistrates in that city, and if not, whetherhe would state his authority for the same ? and called the attention of the house thereto. Mr. SECRETARY ESTCOURT said, in reference to the question of the hon. member for Finsbury, the Lord Chancellor had been informed by the Recorder of Newbury that additional magistrates were required for the borough of Newbury, an d that he had applied to the town council for that borough for the names of per sons to supply that deficiency ; but they could not agree as to whom they should nominate, and they replied that no additional magistrates were re quired. The Recorder of Newbury agai n a pplied, and the appointments were then made. With respect to the question put by the hon. and gallant member (Col. Cliffold, he held in his hand letters to the effect that meetings were held in Hereford such asto he had previously described; but if it could be prov e d THE ARMY. The Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by General Airey and Miljor Jervois, arrived at Portsmouth early on Wednesday morning in the Admiralty yacht Fire Queen, and on landing immediately proceeded to the inspection of - the break*nter and fortifications, now in rapid progress of construction on the Herne Heights, contiguous to the harbour. Major Whittingham, the commanding Royal Engi neer of the district, attended his Royal Highness over the works. After a rapid survey of the exten sive operations now going on, his Royal Highness took his departure, via Weymouth for London by the mid-day train. Yesterday afternoon the military invalid and disabled troops who came home from China in the Princess Charlotte screw transport, arrived at Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, from Portsmouth. The Princess Charlotte brought home 215 naval and military invalids from China, including Royal Marines, seamen, Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, medical staff, and a number of sick troops belonging to the 's9th (Second Nottinghamshire) Regiment, now serving in China. The Persever ance embarked her invalids at Hong Kong on the 26th of November, and sailed two days after, the passage being a very tedious one. The steamer touched at Singapore, the Cape of Good Hope, and Ascension. At the Cape of Good Hope 30 invalids were taken on board, and also 30 invalids at Ascen sion. The mortality was very great during the voyage, no less than 48 deaths having occurred on board. The military invalids, who were under the command of Lieut. R. J. Spofforth, 59th Regt., and in medical charge of Dr. Smith, R.N., on their arrival at Fort Pitt were medically inspected by the staff at that estab:ishment, when eight men were ordered to be taken into hospital for medi cal treatment, and the remainder forwarded to St. Mary's invalid depot, Chatham, to await their discharge. Seven invalids of the Royal Marine Light Infantry who came home from China in the Princess Charlotte arrived at the head quarters of the Chatham division on the previous day. The men belonging to the Royal Artillery were forwarded to Woolwich. A large number of men were yesterday taken on by the Royal Engineer Department in Woolwich Arsenal for the purpose of erecting an additional building required for the manufacture of Sir William Armstrong's rifled ordnance. The dig ging out the foundation was commenced, con tiguous to the old Lancaster shell forge, which within. the last fortnight has been thoroughly oiganised, and is now in full operation in casting and forging materials to carry out the speedy manufacture of this new branch of the service. The new building commenced yesterday will be con • structed twa stories high, and will be one of the most prominent features in the arsenal. The rifled ordnance department thus established under the superintendence of Mr. John Anderson is being pushed forward with the utmost vigour, and a large number of smiths and experienced artificers and others are already on the books of the establish ment. The new naval and marine hospital at. Woolwich is also rapidly progressing, and is now being roofed in. It forms, even in its present complete state, a handsome and conspicuous objectas seen from the river, the east wing having a semi circular projection in its centre, where the chapel is to be placed. The entire building; according to a handsome wooden model which has been con structed under the supervision of Dr. 0. Evans, Senior Inspector of Hospitals, consists of eight pavilions connected by a corridor 447 ft. in length by- 13ft. wide. The dimensions of the walls will be 60ft. in length by 24 in breadth, and 16 in height, which will afford 1,640 cubic feet of atmospheiic air to each inmate, of whom it is intended to place 14 in each ward. A portion of the east wing is pro posed for the reception of patients with infectious diseases, and there will be no communication with the rest of the building. The wards will be well lighted, having windows on both sides throughout, which will also afford cross ventilation, as recom mended by medical officers of the greatest experi ence. The principal entrance is in the west wing, facing Henry-street. This. part of the building will be appropriated for offices, dispensary, stores, washing-rooms, and quarters of the junior medical officers. The basement story will be appropriated for storerooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and servants' rooms. On the north-west side a handsome espla nade and terraces will enable the patients to take healthful recreation and exercise. Their elevated position will remove the invalids from the malari ous influence to which the present infirmary is subject. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Coastwise 1,490 quarters of English wheat have come fresh to hand this week in middling condition. Fresh up to-day by land carriage the receipts were small. Compared with Monday, there was less firmness in the trade; never theless, that day's prices were mostly supported. The imports of foreign wheat are 6,460 quarters. Im porters generally were firm in their demands, but the busi ness doing was limited, on former terms. There was only a moderate demand for floating cargoes. Grinding and distilling barley sold somewhat steadily at full quotations, but malting parcels were very dull. The malt trade was very inactive on former terms.

THE DISTURBANCES AT TRAVANCORE Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for India whether he had received the papers in reference to the recent disturbances at Travancore, and whether he would lay the same on the table. Ho took the opportunity of vindicating the conduct of Sir John Lawrence from some imputations that had been thrown on it by an hon. member of that house. Mr. V. SMITH as the member alluded to said that he had stated nothing which he intended to be detrimental to the reputation of the gallant officer in question. His state ment was made on the. authority of papers presented to the house, but the denial of the accuracy of what appeared in those various papers was quite sufficient to satisfy any one in the Government. But even admitting that the sources were correct, his remarks on a former occasion could not be considered to reflect on the conduct .of Sir John Lawrence in reference to what he had allluded on the occasion hi question, for that con duct might have been distinguished by great ability. TAP; STAMP - DUTY TO BE PAID BY SECRE- TARIES OF STATE. Mr. W. WILLIAMS asked the Chancellor of Exche quer whether, according to his promise, he had obtained the opinion of Mr. Attorney General respecting the legality of the Earl of Malmesbury refusing to pay the £2OO stamp duty required by the Act .55 Geo. 111., c. 184, to be paid on the patent of appointment to the office of Secretary of State? He understood that other Secretaries of State for War had paid that duty, and he could not see Why the noble lord who occupied that station had not paid for his patent. His not doing so was a violation of the law, and it was setting a bad example, for a noble lord who had £5OOO a year, not to pay £2OO, which his predecessors had paid. INDIA. Lord STANLEY, in reply to the different questions, said that there must necessarily be a delay, as compared with private correspondence, or communications to public journals. He was not prepared to say that any further dis tinction would be conferred on Sir John Lawrence. With regard to the Indian artillery, it was not the intention of Government to take the course indicated in the question which had been put to him by an hon. member that even ing. He could not explain the reasons of that determina tion, which were of a technical character, but they were the result of due consideration. The only copy of an Indian tariff in his possession was that of a tariff laid before tht Council of Calcutta, and the duty on hardware would be increased from £5 to £lO. It was intended to equalite on English with foreign imports. [LEFT SITTING.] LONDON GAZETTE-(THIS I'VENING) FOREIGN-OFFICE, APRIL 8, , The Queen has been pleased to approve of Mr. George B.

The lecturer earliestlimes a slight sketch of the history of tents from the and forme in different countries, describing their gener al swere made.

He then passed defects, v i z first, that the canvas of which they t th he e n ß p ri re ti e s e h ed arm ed yt,ovidze.se,thrieblemthspeitatiemntacerqnenuttgeepr, t. amounton to vb e T r i weight when and . dry, andthe cubic feet and ropes, not being water-proofed, admit of showa r are M their d ve can vas area,s not always of the best material ; secondly, that the c a l ternate sn soaking and drying, whereby they are rotted, and that by the contraction of both in wet weather, there is a s t ra in on the tent pegs, by which they are pulled out of the ground, and thereby rendered less secure during stormy weather • and, thirdly, the wan t o f ventilation. With regar d io the latter defect, the lecturer adduced evi dence from the reports of Sir John. M‘Neill and Colonel Tulloch, and also from that of the Sanitary ComMisr sion. Major Rhodes then described his own. forms of h • itch field, and guard tents, illustrating by models their in.. e of oonstruction, the ease with which they are pitched, their commodiousness, and good system of ventilation. IA Con clusion he read a few extracts from an official report on the suitability of his tents as applicable for military purposes, based on reports of their actual occupation by troops u the field, granted by his Majesty the King of Hanover. Major Rhodes has supplied three full-sized trial tents to the fol lowing states : England, France, Austria, Prussia, Russia, Sweden, Belgium, and Hanover. He has received a gold medal .m his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, in proof of his Majesty's high approbation of the trial tents for warded to him.
