" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of 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.

Just Published, price is., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps, QECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

The oNeet of the NORTHFLEET DOCKS and LONDON QUAYS COMPANY (Limited), is to provide the I'ort of London with the following, among other, important ad- vantages: DRY DOCKS capable of receiving Ships of the largest mag nitude, which at present cannot be accommodated in any Dock in the Thames. INCREASED WET DOCK ACCOMMODATION, the want • of which compels steamers and other vessels, especially • those of the larger class, to avoid the Port of London. DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH EXISTING RAIL WAYS, thereby securing to Merchants and Shippers the • direct conveyance of imports and exports to and from any part of Great Britain without the delay and expense of cartage, wharfage, and lighterage in transit. PLANS AND ESTIMATES of the whole undertaking have been carefully prepared, and have been investigated by a Committee appointed for that purpose. The Reports of the Engineers show a sum of £2.000,000 will be sufficient to carry out the undertaking in its integrity, leaving an ample margin for the purchase of the properties and the Engineers have named to the Directors eminent Contrac tors, who are willing to take and guarantee the execution of all the works within the estimates. It is intended, however, to construct the works at Northfleet by gradual operations, according to the requirements of Commerce, and it is not expected that more than X 1,250,000 will be called up within the first eighteen months ; no call to ex ceed £2 10s. per share. , IMMEDIATE REVENUE.—An unusual feature in this en terprise is that an immediate revenue will accrue to the Company from the business carried on at the Quays and Warehouses in London, and the operations of the exist ing Dry Dock and Engineering Plant and Machinery at Northfleet, as well as from the sale of chalk and flints, Published by Mann, 39 Combin g and of all Booksellers.

THE DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT _HOUNSLOW POWDER MILLS. We are enabled from inquiries made on the spot, to place before our readers some further particulars with reference to the deplorable accident which oc curred on Wednesday morning at Messrs, Curtis and Harvey's Powder mills, near dlounslow. In order that our readers may understand the details, it is right to state that the mills arc situate in an enclosed piece of ground covering upwards of 100 acres, distant 21 miles from Hounslow. Ix the grounds there are in all some 30 or 40 powder mills, each of which is situate 80 or 100 yards from its neighbour, and in order to check the concussion, in the event of such an accident as the present occur ring, the works arc surrounded by a plantation of trees. The process of manufacture is conducted in somewhat the following manner : the charcoal, saltpetre, and brimstone are first ground and, pre pared in different houses, and then brought to the incorporating mills, when they are ground between arge iron rollers, mixed in proper proportions, and rought to the consistency of thin paper. The mixture in this stage is called a " green charge," and is brought to a preparing house, when it is pressed by a hydraulic machine into hard cakes of some two or three feet in diaineter and half an inch in thickness. It is then broken with wooden mallets, and carried in boats and carts to the gran ulating or corning houses, where the lumps are placed in a hopper and then dropped into iron rollers, which form it into grains. In all these operations the utmost precautions are taken to prevent accident. The quantity of powder in any of the mills never exceeds ten barrels, as, when that amount is manufactured, it is removed to the magazine. As none of the unfortunate workmen engaged in the press house and corning house destroyed have survived, it is impossible to tell what quantity, but as each barrel con tained 100 lbs., and as in all probability all were full, 2,000 lbs. must have exploded. The accident occurred in a pressing house close to the stream called the Colne. Four workmen, named Lencocks, Littleford, Davis, and Allborn, were engaged at the time, and were killed on the spot. The granulating house exploded immediately afterwards, instantaneously killing two men named Compton and May. Tho wind at the time wa s providentially from the west, or otherwise the dis aster might have been more lamentable, as, had the flames been (Liven in the direction of the other buildings, some hundreds of lives might have been lost. The Government inspector visited the scene yesterday, and remained for some hours making . inquiries.

[This letter would have appeared yesterday, but for want of room:] BRITISH COLUMBIA. Our new colony of British Columbia is, according to the last accounts, in a most satisfactory condition. This will be good news to the public generally, for the young establishment on the Pacific coast has been quite a favourite since the tidings reached home that gold had been found along the course of the Fraser River. Although our people know little —far too little—about the colonies, yet they have their partialities. New Zealand, the Britain of the South, from its position and climate, and the labours of an eminent churchman, has long enjoyed popu larity, not so much with the emigrant who seeks a busier market for his labour, as with that educated class which does not emigrate at all. British Columbia has succeeded for a time to this ; pre eminence in the minds of Englishmen, and seems likely to justify the good opinion which has been formed of it. At the last advises, the. difficulties which the influx of miners had caused were passing away, as the great body of them, dreading the winter and the high price of provisions, had returned to San Fran cisco. Government was strong enough to keep order among those who remained. In the spring the rush would, of course, begin again, but by, that time a reinforcement of troops would have arrived, the administrative and judicial arrangements of the colony would be more complete, and the unquiet spirits more easily dealt with. With respect to the • mineral wealth of the country the accounts are most captivating. It is re ported on good authority that the whole course of the Fraser River up to its source in the Rocky Mountains contains rich deposits of gold, and that the tributary streams are no less abundant in metallic wealth. The gold covers an extent of ter ritory, if these reports be true, which will make British Columbia the most important gold producing region in the world. It is certainly fortunate that Sir Robert Peel made a firm stand on the Oregon question and secured this noble tract for his coun trymen. After the sacrifice of territory by the Ashburton Treaty such a success was necessary to restore his reputation as an administrator of foreign affairs. The country to which British emigration and enterprise are now invited is one which must before long take a high place in the world. The Americans have founded two States, California and Oregon, on the Pacific coast, and these are growing with a rapidity unexampled. even in their annals. They are purhing steadily across the contihent ; new eities - bffen years ago are now far within the limits of civilisation. Chicago has become a -vene rable metropolis to the citizens of St. Paul, Dubuque, and Superior. The transit across the Isthmus is being regularly organised, and there is reason to hope that the troules which desolate Central America will pass away, so that a rapid and cheap communication .between the two oceans may be permanently established. All these things point to the speedy prosperity of the British territory on the Western coast, • containing as it does some of the finest harbours in the world, with a fertile soil, a healthy climate, winters less severe than were anticipated, and, above all, mineral wealth to which there seems no bound. It would certainly ill become the British Govern ment and people to neglect the priceless territory on which they have planted their flag. In days to come, when the Pacific coast is under Anglo-Saxon dominion from the Frozen Sea to the Isthmus of Panama, when the Australians are a powerful com munity, when China and the whole of Eastern Asia are penetrated by the enterprise of English-speaking races, the region now known as British Columbia will assuredly rank among the most prosperous and* powerful. It rests with the English people of the present day to decide by whom this fabric shall be constructed, and whether the new community shall grow up with English habits and instincts, or be furnished with population and ideas by a kindred, but still very different, people. We are exposed in British Columbia not only to the rivalry, but to the invasion, of the Americans. They are firmly esta blished in the neighbourhood, and while the terri tory is many thousand miles from the English either of the home country or Australia, it is within a few days' sail of a great American city. The first great object of our Government should be to encaurage a large British emigration. We are happy to say that the working classes of the present day are firmly attached to the Government of the mother country, and that even the Irish obey peacefully the law and the constituted colonial authorities wherever Assrat . INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN. CIRCUIT.--lAMPoot, March 30. (Before Mr. Justice Willes.) • ' :%11.711,DER AT MANCHESTER. John Parkinson, 43, and Charlotte Parkinson, 29, both of whom were described in the calendar as imperfectly educated, were placed at the bar on a charge of - murdering the. new-born child of the female prisoner, having been committed for trial on a coroner's warrant. .Theyrisoners were revec tablv attired, the man being in -deep inhuming; and'neither of them appeared to . be under the in fluence of any very strong emotion, considering the serious position in which , they were- placed. Dr. Wheeler and-Ilr. Hopwood appeared for the Prosecution ; and AttorLev-General Bliss, Q.C., and 'Mr. Campbell Fester for the defence of the prisoners. From Dr. Whcelei's opening statement ,it ap peared that the male prisoner was recently a book seller in'Bradford, and that he .was also the owner of a chapel in-which he preached. The female pri soner_w4is the wife of a person who was engaged as en:assistant in his shop. - Both prisoners were pro fesised spiritualists, and the woman was the man's • " medium "' of communication with - the spiritual world. On the last day of last year be preached his farewell sermon- and teok leave of his flock, as he was about to leavel3&.dford fora distantpart of the-eoun try. For sometime previously a close intimacy h a d existed between the prisoners, and it was remarked that when the man left the woman disappeared at the same time. Their first appearance afterwards was in Manchester, where 'they were going about in search of lodgings. They presented themselves at the house ofMfrs. Mawdeslev, in Hyde-road, and agreed to take a. parlour and`bedroom at the rate of 10s. per week, they at the same time represent ing themselves to be man and wife. They took possession of the room s th e same even i ng . When the prisoners were first at her house Mrs. Mawde sley observed nothing peculiar about the woman, but the following morning she noticed she was far advanced in pregnancy. She asked how it was she had ventured to travel about when so close upon her confinement, and the prisoner replied that she did not expect it for three months, as she was only six months gone. On the following Monday morn ing the prisoner was delivered of a female child. Mrs. Mawdesley was- indignant with the prisoners for taking her lodgings under such , circumstances, but still every necessary attention was paid to the woman. The child was a very healthy one, but the mother said she did 'not think it would live, as it .breathed very heavily, and two children she had before died soon after their birth. A surgeon was in attendance upon them, but he told the prisoner that it was unnecessary for him to call again, as both mother and child were doing well. This con tinued until Thursday night, when the child died. On the body were found bruises and discolorations, which ultimately led to the suspicion that it had been killed by strangulation. The male prisoner was very anxious to have the body quickly in terred, and having succeeded in obtaining a certifi cate, from the registrar, the burial took place in Ardwick CeMetery, where, in consequence of sub sequent suspicion. arising, it was exhumed. Mr. Rix, surgeon, said that early an Sunday morning the male prisoner came to his place and requested him to attend the confinement of his wife. He went with him to his lodgings, and delivered the female prisoner of a female child. The child was healthy; and appeared to be full grown.- He did not say anything about the child being weakly, and unlikely for life. He never said she must not be surprised if the child died at any moment, or that it would die in convulsions. He saw not the slightest symptoms in the child of weakness or convulsions. It appeared to be a perfectly healthy child. On the Thursday the male prisoner came to his house about 10 o'clock in the morning, and stated that the child was dead. When witizess asked why he had not sent fur a doctor, he replied it was early in the morning, and it would be of no use. He asked for a certificate, but witness told him he could not give one, as there would require to be a coroner's inquest. He appeared to be very unwilling to go to the coroner's office, and witness told him he might go to the registrar, and see what he had to say on the subject. He after wards went to sec the child, and found the lips were black and the mouth open, and a black mark on the neck under the chin. He had not no ticed the marks before, and if they had been on the child he would have noticed them • as they weie so decided marks. Witn ess and-iir Jona than Wilson made sprit marten: examination of the body on Saturday, and found it was ,a child. The cause of death was congestion on the brain, which was produced by the unnatural pres sure of the veins, which were too full. It was his opinion that the child did not die from natural causes. Several other witnesses were examinsd. His Lordship summed up strongly in the pri soners' favour, and The jury, without leaving the box, returned a verdict of not guilty, and the prisoners were or dered to be set at liberty forthwith.

Foreign wheat—the show of which was rather exten sive—met a slow inquiry. In prices, however, no Change took place. The few samples of fine barley in the market ' found buyers at very full prices, but the value of grinding and distilling , sorts was rather , drooping. In malt, only a limited bu;ine's was transacted, at late rates. We have a slow inquiry for oats, at Monday's prices, but beans and peas were firmer. The flour trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. ARRIVALS TRIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats. Flour.

A large infusion of English settl e rs is the primary want of the colony ; they would bring the land under cultivation, thus probably enrich ing themselves more than by seeking their fortunes at the diggings; they would stand by the Governor, and help in maintaining order ; and they would give an English tone of decency and regularity to the administration of justice, and, when esta blished, to the Colonial Legislature. Every one in terested in the welfare of British Columbia must do justice to the exertions of Sir E. Lytton, who has organised the staff of officials and improvised a fair Government with praiseworthy readiness. We trust that his attention, or tho attention of his successor, will be turned to this question of immi gration ; and it would not be amiss to examine whether English colonists could not be sent across the Isthmus as well as the Americans who proceed to California.

Surely there is no insurmountable difficulty in establishing two lines of emigrant ships,--one for the Atlantic and the other for the Pacific service, and booking a family all through. Of course, it is a question of money, and we do not want the Government to in terfere with private enterprise ; but still a Govern ment may give encouragement, or even originate ideas, and the passage of emigrants across Panama or Tehuantepec seems no more extraordinary than the transport of troops to India by Suez, a scheme about which the official world hesitated greatly. The next subject of anxiety is the financial management of the colony, and on this head the greatest danger is to be feared from Downing street meddling. Australia will probably not recover during this century from the evils inflicted by Lord John Russell's and Earl Grey's Admini strations with respect to the sale of land. In British Columbia we have already the first note of com plaint, which in a few months will probably swell into a chorus, unless, indeed, the settlers take the matter intb their own hands, and conquer the alleged official obstinacy by a violation of law. Every one wants to buy land, and the authorities will not sell. Colonel Moody and his sappers are to survey the colony, and when that is done the market will be open, but not before. In the mean while men have been even prevented from esta blishing a sawpit, a first necessity in a new land where houses are built of timber. This prohibition was the result of a belief that the possessor would claim a right of preemption when the land came to be sold. For similar reasons the soil remains uncultivated, and all provisions have to be brought from abroad. This intolerable mismanagement should cease at once. The system adopted in America, and of later years in Canada and Australia, is to allow land to be acquired on COLONIAL.

THE NEAPOLITAN EXILES.-MEETING IN LlVER POOL.—Yesterday (Thursday) afternoon a meeting of gentle men of all political creeds was held in the Liverpool Town Council Chamber, to consider the propriety of originating a subscription in aid of the Neapolitan exiles now in England. The Mayor (Mr.Wm Preston) presided. The first speaker was Mr. C. E. Rawlins, who moved " That, deeply sym pathising with the Neapolitan ge n tl emen w h o h ave just landed on our shores, in the sufferings which they have endured from their attachment to the cause of rational free dom, we most gladly join our fellow-countrymen in a public subscription in their behalf, not only as an expres sion of our sympathy with the oppressed, but as our protest against that tyranny by which they have been driven into unmerited exile." The resolution was seconded by Mr. J. T. Denson, and carried unanimously. The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. Philip nathbone the Rev. J. S. Howson, and Mr. Robertson Gladstone; the two latter gentlemen moving a resolution to the effect that the sub scription should be kept open for 14 days, and the amount transmitted to the Earl of Shaftesbury. Before the meet ing dispersed subscriptions were received amounting to £123. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—When the Government brought in their Reform Bill, and the public learnt that Lord John Russell was to appear as the champion of the people and oppose this Tory measure, most of us expected that he would bring forward a measure of his own, so that we might compare the two and choose the best. If Lord John had been at the head of a large party he would probably have laid his measure on the table ; but this not being the case, his first efforts were to make a party. And this is the reason why Lord John did not give us even the faintest outline of his bill. He know very well that it was absolutely necessary for him to bring together Lord Palmerston, Mr. Bright, and as many of the Peelites as possible, and he knew that, if he brought in a Reform Bill in accordance with the opinions of Mr. Bright, Lord Palmerston and the Peelites would vote against him ; whel eas if his bill suited the latter gentlemen, them he would lose Mr. Bright. Fur ther, Lord John did not dare to oppose the Government Bill by a motion "to read it a second time that day six months," because, as far as it goes, it is a very liberal bill, and he cnew that many Liberals would have voted for the bill rather than postpone the question of Reform till next session. There was, therefore, only one other course open to his lordship, and that was to move a resolution, which he would wish us to believe is not intended to postpone the settlement of the question, nor to displace the Ministry, but to amend the bill. His lordship probably never anticipated such a length ened discussion. He thought the matter would soon be decided, and the Government soon removed. In fact, the impatience expressed by no less a person than Sir C. Lewis to finish the debate as soon as possible, pretty accurately expressed the wishes of Lord John and Lord Palmerston. They were afraid the public might think twice before it came to a decision; and they knew that the more the de bate was protracted, the greater was the danger of hints being inadvertently dropped touching the nature of the bill which the country might expect from them. Now .Sir, this is just what has taken place. This pro tracted'debate has enlightened us on almost all the particu lars of the bill which the country would obtain if Lord John were restored to power. Before, however, proceeding further, I will just notice the extraordinary inconsistency of Lord John's amendment. Any one who has read the debate must be aware that the uniformity of the borough and county franchise is looked upon by the Whigs as the main principle of the Govern • ment bill, and to this uniformity they are opposed. Under these circumstances the proper mode of proceeding would have been to move that the bill be read a second time this day six months. But Lord J oluk himself said that he ap proved of many of the provisions of the bill; and, as his resolution only relates to two items, we may conclude that he entertains no strong opposition to the remaining clauses. In this case the proper mode of proceeding would have been to endeavour to amend those two provisions in com mittee. In whatever light, therefore, we look at Lord John's amendment, it is evidently irregular; and as it com mits his lordship to nothing, it is certainly dishonest, and can only have been framed with a view to catch as many votes as possible, and to defeat the Ministry. And now, Sir, let us examine the bill itself, and compare it with the hints which have been dropped from those who wish themselves to be considered the champions of the people. In the first place, Lord Derby proposes to reduce the county franchise to £lO. The leading Liberals propose £2O. Now, Sir, which is the most liberal, the Conservative or the Whig ? Some say that it is one of the principles of our constitution that borough members represent resident occu piers, and that county members represent property, and therefore the Government proposition is unconstitutional. But the Chandos clause of the Reform Bill of 1832 altered all that; and those who maintain the above doctrine, them selves propose to reduce the county qualification to £2O. So much for their consistency. Furthermore, we never heard anything about its being unconstitutional when the proposal was made by Mr. Locke King, and no one has ever given us a reason why a man occupying a £lO house in a county should not have a vote as well as a man occupying a £lO house in a borough. In the second place, the Conservatives propose . to give the franchise to lodgers who pay £2O a year rent, whether their rooms are hired furnished or unfurnished. Most lodg ings which let for £2O a year furnished, would let for about £lO a year unfurnished. But it would be impossible to make a distinction in this respect, because many lodgings are let partly furnished, so that it would bo difficult to describe what constituted a furnished and what an unfurnished lodging. By the Government Bill, lodgers as a rule would be placed exactly on the same footing as householders. .Now, what do the Liberals propose? Mr. Bright, in one of his speeches, rather ridiculed the idea of lodgers voting, and Sir James Graham disapproves of it. We may, therefore, fairly assume that a Whig Bill would exclude the lodgers. Wo • know that it would reduce the household suffrage to £B, or perhaps to £6. Now, Sir, who is best qualified to give a vote—a householder who pays £6 rent, or a lodger who pays £2O rent ? Those who propose to reduce the household qualification, profess to do so in order to include the best of the working classes. Now, sir, just consider London. How many clerks and artisans live in lodgings ? Nearly all I And how Many occupy a£6 house ? Very few! I don't know where to find any houses of that rental in London. There are seine; no doubt; but they certainly aro very few, compared with the number of lodgers, and the £2O lodgers are certainly a more respectable class. Here, again, the Conservative proposition is the most liberal and the best. But, in addition to this, the Government propose a £6O savings-bank deposit qualification. Mr. Bright may sneer at this as a reward to prudence, but there are not many who will join him in that. Sir Benjamin Hall found out one borough in which this franchise would at present add only one voter to the register. This, however, was a small borough, and, as Sir Befijamin did not mention another, I presume it was an isolated case. But no one can doubt that if this proposition should pass, many thousands who have never yet placed any money in a savings-bank will soon begin to do so, if they wish for the franchise, and thus will learn and practise prudence while acquiring a right to vote. By this means the best of the £6 householders will obtain the franchise. The reason why £3O is the sum fixed upon would seem to be, that it is about equal to the value of a forty shilling freehold. And this brings me to the consideration of the borough freeholders. The Conservatives propose to transfer them to the boroughs in which their freeholds are situate; and the Whigs call this transfer a disfranchisement. The Liberals, as I have before stated, propose to lower the borough qualification to £6 or £3. Sections 24 and 25 of the Reform Act of 1832 enact that a person shall not vote for a county in respect of a freehold which gives him the right to vote for a borough. The result of this would be, that while the Liberals condemn the Con servatives for proposing to transfer the freeholders to their boroughs, the Liberals themselves propose to carry out the very same policy, by simply lowering the borough house hold qualification, and thus converting county freeholders into borough householders. So there is not much dif ference as to the nature of the operation, and only a trifling difference in the mode of operating. And here I must re mark upon another Liberal inconsistency. How is it that, when talking of these borough freeholders as county voters, Whigs always call them the most independent class in the county ; and yet when it is proposed to transfer them to the boroughs, Whigs always pretend to be afraid of the grossest corruption creeping in ? Perhaps some kind Whig can ex plain this, even to the satisfaction of the freeholders them selves. In the fourth place, th,f, Conservatives propose to give us voting papers. This, Sir, is the most important proposi tion of all, because we all know that many thousands of the best class of electors will not mix in a mob, and conse quently attend no meetings and do not vote. We may, therefore, assume that if they were to vote, it would not be for a mob-orator. Hence the opposition of many of our fluent speakers to this proposition of voting-papers. Some say they would be unconstitutional and would open the doer to all sorts of corruption ; yet no one has explained how this corruption is to creep in. But one fact, and that a monster and an all-important one, is worth more than all
