By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., _ _ And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan_ Infirmary for the CurEof Strictures of the Urethra. " 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.

STAMPED, SD• in Cupid's-alley, off Deansgate, Manchester. He had been accustomed to tak his pot of beer and smoke his short pipe under Betsy's roof, and had at least taken a decided fancy to Betsy herself. He was a good-looking young man was Harry Stokes, for although btill undersized, and innocent of whiskers, a face as smooth as a woman's he was stoutly built, had a capacious depth of chest, and a pair of hips which gave an unusual profit to his tailor. Betsy then looked with- favour on Harry's suit, for he had the reputation of being a good, steady workman, and was doing pretty well as a bricksetter. It was resolved that the twain should become one flesh, and so to church they hied. Harry discharged the duties of bridegroom at church to perfection ; but when the widow got him home there was a terrible row. The night was spent in downright quarrel and fight, and the result was a summons taken out by Betsy against her hus band for assault, for which he was condemned to the New Bailey for one or two months. During the hearing of the case, Betsy with great vehemence declared that her husband was not a man, and that she therefore would not live with him. The case created great amusement and gossip at the time, and formed the; subject of popular b allads , which were sung and hawked about the streets of Man chester. " Harry" Stokes, on issuing from the New Bailey, was considerably persecuted by those little gamins who know so well how to torment street celebrities, while he was also the object of much curious speculation among his brethren of the trowel. He, however, maintained a discreet silence as to his sex, threw out hints that the woman he had married was mad, and as the most effective proof that she was a malevolent libeller, he soon afterwards married another widow rejoicing in the name of Frances Collins, who was some 15 or 20 years his senior, and who had a grown up son and daughter living with her. His connexion with this woman, with whom he lived until he committed suicide, is the most mysterious phase of this myste rious history. She declares, with solemn earnest. ness, that she did not know until informed the other day that the person with whom she had been living for 25 years, sleeping together night after night in the same bed, was a woman, and her own children looked upon Stokes as theirstep-father. She asserts that she took Stokes into her house in the first in stance out of pity, to shield him from the persecu tion to which he was subjected. It may be that, though out of a sense of shame, the old woman thus attempts to conceal her knowledge of Stokes's sex, she did in reality know from the first that the person was a woman, and that she was in all probability, induced by Stokes to consent to the union, in order that the appearance of married life might dispel the rumours afloat, and enable him to live "in peace and quietness." Whether or not that was the inteation; the acquaintance brought about that result; for although there were surmises that " Harry" Stokes was a woman, and he was con stantly the object of curious glances, he escaped the open molestation to which he had been previously subjected. Harry and Fanny took a beer-house in Corporation-street, Salford, where they lived for two years, when they " flitted" to Quay-street, near Deansgate, turning a private house into a beer house. At this house they stayed eleven years, during part of which time they held a second beer house in Camp-street, off Deansgate, which they called " The Pilgrim's Rost," and which was super intended by Mrs. Stokes's son. To this house they themselves filially removed, and kept it on for six years, when they carried their furniture to No. 11, Richmond-street, between St. Stephen-street and Broughton-road, Salford, where they still lived together as man and wife, though the neighbours had their little whisperings together—the staple of their conversation being the peculiar figure of Harry Stokes, and speculations thereabout. They were living in Richmond-street up to the time of I the tragedy which has revived the whole history of this singular person. Harry Stokes appeared latterly to be falling into decayed circumstances; and the fear of poverty is believed to have induced him to commit suicide. On Friday evening the deceased went to the Swan public-house, Pendle bury, and after drinking four glasses of ale he left for the purpose of proceeding, as he stated, to Throstle 4.. est. In the morning a hat was seen on the top of the water in the sluice of the river Irwell, at Mode Wheel, and on examination the body of a man was found standing upright in the water. At the inquest before Mr. Coroner Rutter, on Saturday, the body was identified as that of " Harry' Stokes, the well-known piaster bricksetter of Salford ; and it would probably have been buried in its clothes as it was, and the secret of the poor, c ourageous, hard-working llarriet Stokes would thus have been buried with her, had not one of the jury been acquainted with a portion of her past his tory. He mentioned his suspicion that the deceased was a woman and not a man, and two women who were sent by the coroner to solve the mystery re turned tittering into the court with the information that., true enough, the body in the man's clothes was that of a perfect woman, and no man. She was very full breasted, but the shape of her womanly make was distorted by a broad strap which was buckled round her body under the arms. There is something of grandeur, after all, in the character of that strange woman. She has left mementos of her industry and skill all over Manchester, and in many places in Salford. She was very clever in the erection of tall chimneys, and some of the highest in Manchester have been partially or wholly con struoted under her superintendence; she has built churches, chapels, and extensive blocks of dwelling houses, among which are mentioned the large houses at the back of St. Philip's Church, Salford ; she was most expert in fitting stoves and fire grates, and her aid in this branch of her trade has been obtained in some of the best hote,es in Manchester : and in the days of the Chartist riots she was sworn in as a spe oial constable, and was made captain of her com pany. Her industry and skill at one time placed her in very comfortable circumstances, and there are persons who are now esteemed among the fore most men of Manchester who have been entertained at the roaring suppers given by " Harry" Stokes. ROBERT STEPIIEN,,ON IN SOCIETY. Here be was simply charming and fascinating in the highest degrree, from his natural goodness of heart and the genial zest with which he relished life himself and participated its enjoyment with others. He was generous and even princely in his expenditure—not upon himself but upon his friends —and his love of the English pastime of yachting amounted almost to a passion. On board the Titania, or at his house in Gloucester-square, his frequent and numerous guests found his splendid resources at all times converted to their gratifica tion with a grace of hospitality which, although sedulous, was never oppressive. There was nothing of the patron in his manner, or of the Olympic con descension which is sometimes affected by much lesser men. A friend (and how many friends he had !) was at once his equal and treated with re publican freedom, yet with the most high-bred courtesy and gentle considerateness. We may doubt whether any of the celebrated reception houses of our aristocracy ever afforded more delight ful gatherings than those with which Stephenson's expansive tastes surrounded him in his home. Men of science, letters, art, great travellers, en gineers, young and old of both sexes, and of varied accomplishment, gave to his reunions a completeness the more striking that it seemed never to be anxiously aimed at. Surrounded by his choice collection of modern w orks of ar t,or explain ing his philosophical apparatus, or battling, some scientific thesis, or exchanging some sprightly banter in a social circle, the image of Robert Ste phenson will: rise up before his friends as a pillar bearing the record of some of their happiest hours. What a favourite he was with all, especially with women and young persons! No one who enjoyed his intimacy can forget the easy and familiar man ner in which he was accustomed to enlarge on in teresting but abstruse points of natural philosophy. But to ladies, and the youn especially, ho made a point of explaining eyerythi g with more than usual care and definiteness, neve quitting the subject until he was satisfied that e had been perfectly understood.—Once a Week. _ THE LICENSING SYSTEM IN LIVERPOOL—ME MORIAL TO GOVERNMENT.--A special meeting of magis• trates was held in Liverpool yesterday to consider the re port of a committee apptinted recently on the subject of memorialising government with regard to the present licensing system. The committee urged government to take immediate action, and to bring in a bill in accorlance with the suggestions framed by a committee of the House of Commons (appointed at the instance of the Liverpool magis trates an I Mr. W. Brown) in 1851. The report was i nani mously alopted. THE TRADE AND SHIPPING OF THE PORT 0 , HULL.—The tonnage of the shipping of the port of Hull will this year exceed that of last by from 100,000 to 150,000 tons. The consequence of this excess of tonnage is that freights have been and are unremunerative. The timber houses complain of the heavy imports, and wo learn that grain, seed, and other staple articles yield little or no profit. The immense quantity of imports has, however, the advan tage of supplying the labour market, and an increased num ber of persons are employed in the seed -crushing trade. The deal carriers and labourers generally are also in full work. With this increase of labour tho price of food has been reasonable, and the working classes in ate wain have but little to complain of. • THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, 1859. ?HE NAVY. The Aid, naval transport, Mr. Grandy master, having shipped a heavy cargo of dockyard stores at Chatham, will sail from that port this day for Portsmouth, Devonport, snd Pembroke Dockyards. Orders have been received at Chatham, direct ing a large line-of-battle screw steamer to be com menced at that establishment, on the same slip as that on which the Irresistible, 80, was built, imme diately after that vessel has been launched. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—James M. Shore, additional, to the Cumberland ; Thomas Anderson, chief engi neer, to the Royal Albert ; Charles Cotten, chief engineer, to the Blenheim ; - Walter W. Williamson, chief engineer, to the Marlborough ; Samuel Cle ments, chief engineer, to the Liffey; William H. Houghton, acting chief engineer, to the Fisgard, as supernumerary ; Wm. Wallace, acting third-class assist.-engineer, to the Asia, as supernumerary; T. Silk, clerk, to the Ardent ; IV. A. Dangerfield, assistant-clerk, to the Prometheus ; and Francis A. Carter, assistant-clerk, to the Hogue. and it is asserted that he will remove many restric tions which the late Emperor had imposed. By this proceeding it is evident that his Majesty exhibits no hostility towards the French, as was stated. The object of Muley Abder-Rahman, in prohibiting the exportation of wools, was to prevent French men establishing themselves in Barbary, as the trade in this article enticed many merchants of France to the ports of the coast." declaration in any form, and the masters made up their returns of the numbers by including all the men they had at work on country jobs. He urged the lock-outs to try and bear with their pri vations a little longer, and to bear in mind that it . was not money but a principle they were strug gling for. If they did not " lick" the associated masters now they would in the end, and he was satisfied that before twelve months were over they would re-enter the shops not only without the de claration but under the nine hours. (Great cheer ing) Hp advised them in future to form a fund, by suliscribing say ld. a week, which he said would amount to £lOO a week, £4OO a month, and £26,000 a year—(upon what system of arithmetic Mr. Pot ter makes up this annual total he did not explain) —and that such fund should be devoted expressly for the defence of the trades and their support in future struggles. Let them show in this way that they respected themselves, and the masters would respect them ; that with such a fund at their back there would bno more attempts to compel them to give up their trade societies. He concluded by again recommending firmness and union as the cer tain means of success. eiamnwt ge mhthae weeks,rn t,sprovinces Mr. FACEY, a delegate from the conference to the provinces, reported the result of his mission in the western and north-western districts, where he said not the building trades only but the whole of the industrial community were with the movement, and were ready to unite and amalgamate with the building operatives. He had attended public meet ingsibn ugitehthdheeiat t.

S. Ayrton, Esq., M.P., and ail other attempts on the part of the men at reconciliation, determining still to abide by the odious document, this meeting appeals to the public for further support to enable the men to continue to a successful issue their noble resistance to that infamous production." Mr. BROWN, another delegate to the provinces, seconded the resolutitn, and gave a very similar report of the result at Northampton, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, Manchester, Liverpool, Bol ton, and other manufacturing towns of the midland and northern counties. Mr. OSBORNE, also a delegate, supported the re solution. Hefound that, during his absence, one of the masters, Mr. Farley, a plasterer, of West bourne grove , conceded the nine hours; and so far from finding it detrimental to his interests, had stated that it had enabl.:d him to complete his contracts with satisfaction. He trusted that they would adhere to their demand of the withdrawal of the odious document, and nine hours, and no sur render. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried amid loud cheering. A vote of thanks to the chairman ccncludcd the proceedings. It was stated by the seconder of the vote of thanks that a scheme was under consideration for raising capital to enable the Conference to carry on build ing works, several offers of work having been made to them if they could undertake it.

In accordance with orders received from the Horse Guards the interesting ceremony of decora ting a private soldier of the depot of the 43d Light Infantry with a silver medal, which, together with a gratuity of £5, had been awarded him by the Duke of Cambridge for long service and meritorious conduct, took place on the general parade-ground at Chatham Barracks on Saturday afternoon, in the presence of the whole of the officers and men of the Ist battalion, to which the 43d depot is attached. The troops having been formed, private Joshua Leader was called to the front by Colonel Jervis, who presented him with the medal and ribaud, which was fastened to his breast by the adjutant of the battalion. Private Leader has been upwards of 21 years in her Majesty's service, during the whole of which period his conduct has been most exemplary. lie served with the gallant 43d in the Caffre war of 1851-53, for which he is decorated with a medal. SPAIN AND MOROCCO. Interesting news from Morocco was received by the Ripon mail-packet, which arrived at Southamp ton yesterday morning. Our Gibraltar correspon dent, writing at' the moment of the steamer's depar ture (4 p.m. on the 18th), says : " We learn just now, via Spain, that the declara tion of war against Morocco has been made." The following is from the Gibraltar chronicle of the 18th : " The rupture of pacific relations between Spain and Morocco is in all probability an accomplished fact. Letters from Tangier, written yesterday, state that it was expected the Spanish Consul would strike his flag in the course of the day. Mr. Blanco del Valle returned to Tangier from Alge siras on the night of the 16th, and was the bearer of demands which it was considered impossible the Moorish Government could admit. These demands are said to comprise a cession of territory adjoin ing Ceuta, so extensive as to include the Sierra Bullones, taking in Cape Negro in the direction of Tetuan and Apes'-hill on the Straits. If this de mand be persisted in war is considered inevitable. No Sultan of Morocco could consent to such an alienation of national territory ; and even were the Moorish Government to yield on this point it is considered doubtful whether war would be averted, since this concession would probably cost the Sultan his throne. We subjoin extracts from a few of the communications that have been received : " Tangier, Oct. 17.. " We are no longer in uncertainty as to the in tentions of Spain. The Sultan not being able to sub mit to the fresh demands of the Cabinet of Madrid, we can no longer doubt the issue of negotiations -this issue is war.' " Another correspondent writes " ' The Europeans were yesterday actively em ployed in shipping their property on board all the available craft in the harbour preparatory to em barking their persons this day. Her Majesty's steam sloop Vulture and gunboat Coquette were at anchor, and it was expected the British Chargé d'Affaires would sec all the subjects of his nation safely on board before embark ing himself in one of her Majesty's ships. The whole of the population of the city was in the greatest consternation, especially the foreigners, who were most anxious for vessels to save their property as well as their persons. The Moorish authorities put no impediment in the way of any of the Europeans who wished to take their departure, nor even did they interfere with the baggage or other articles which they were sending away. - The foreign consuls, with their families, attaches, &c., would, it was said, be taken on board the British and French men-of-war in the harbour. The Moorish Government was expecting to hear of the declaration of war which the Government of Spain had threatened them with.' " Another letter of the same date says : " Great consternation prevails in this city, and preparations on the part of a great number of Europeans and others are making to leave the country. Mr. Blanco arrived here in a Spanish steam frigate ; he remains on board, as the vessel is in quarantine. The Spaniards have asked officially for Apes'-hill. " ' It is reported here that the Spanish forces will make an attack both by sea and land, and after wards occupy Tetuan and Tangier. "' It is likewise said that Mr. Blanco has de manded 5,000,000 Cols, to indemnify the Snanish Government for the expenses they have been put to in preparing the expedition. " Yesterday, being a Moorish holiday, a number of tribes from the district of Angera came into the town. In consequence of this, El Katib re quested Mr. Drummond Hay to dissuade the Europeans from embarking then, fearing it would give these tribes a pretext for committing ex cesses, if they observed the least sign of a commo tion. Mr. Drummond Hay, understanding these tribes would return to their homes in the evening, promised El Katib that he would delay the embar kation of the British subjects until this day (the 18th), when he expected there would be a sufficient number of vessels to take off all the Europeans and others of the population who wished to avail them selves of the opportunity, especially as El Katib had instructed the administrator of customs to offer no impediment to those who wished to embark. " • Mr. George V. Brown, United States' Consul, was preparin,g - to leave for Gibraltar, bringing with him all his baggage, horses, &e.' " Another letter speaks of Mulai Abbas, brother of the present Emperor, being expected at Tangier with 30,000 men ; and that our British Charge d'Affaires will embark is one of her Majesty's ships of war, which will remain off that port." The troops in the neighbourhood of Algesiras had received orders to prepare to encamp. A float ing hospital, having room for patients, had been established at Algesiras. The Portuguese schooner Amalia arrived at Gib raltar on the 14th from Mazagan, which port she left on the evening of the 11th. Great was the discontent observable in that town among the few Europeans residing there, arising from the want of confidence on the part of a number of natives, who, it was firmly believed, were seeking some pretext or other to seize -upon Govern ment property. Grain from the interior continued to be imported into the market, and the vessels in harbour were loading as quick as possible for fear of an outbreak. The letters from Mazagan also mention that the Governor of Azamoor had broken faith with the Mazaganese. This is the more to be regretted because, in the event of any disturbance occurring in the town, the Government soldiers in Azamor will be prevented rendering as sistance, as they have hitherto been in the habit of doing. A letter, dated the 16th, from the Tangier corres pondent of the Gibraltar Chronicle, announces that the new Sultan 0? Morocco has conferred a great boon by granting the free exportation of wool : "The Sultan's authority in Morocco is now con solidated, and consequently all fears entertained of a conspiracy against his Majesty are dissipated, especially since adopting very , popular measures, which have highly raised him in the estimation of every one in his dominions. " His Majesty the Sultan has permitted the ex portation of wool prohibited some time ago by his late father. From the manner in which this news came to my knowledge it is worthy of the greatest credit, and Mr. Drummond Hay has communicated the same to some merchants of this place, who in stantly chartered a small vessel to convey the intel ligence to Gibraltar, and she left this day. Th e decree will not, it is expected, be promul gated before the lapse of a month. " Several commercial houses at Mazagan which, during the prohibition, largely speculated in this article, will now realise immense profits by this measure. "It seems from the above that the Emperor is desirous of extending vmmilerce in his dominions, THE BUILDERY STRIKE. An aggregate meeting of the operatives in the building trades was held last evening in St. Mar tin's-hall, to receive a report from the members of the workmen's conference of their proceedings since the last public meeting held in the same place some three weeks ago, and to make known certain facts in connection with the present position of the nego tiations between the masters and men. There was a very large attendance, the body of the hall and galleries being crowded in every part. Mr. Heap, Chairman of the Executive of the Amalgamated Engineers, was voted to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, having stated the purpose for which the meeting had been called, observed that there had been many subjects introduced into the dispute which really had no connection with it. The principal of these was the reform question, and several - writers in thenewspapers had stated that the course taken by the workmen was calculated to impede the progress of reform for several years to come. For one, he could not understand how, if the opera tives in the building trades had committed an error in judgment, that circumstance should have im peded the progress of reform. Instead of their pro ceedings being an argument against the extension of the suffrage, it was one of the strongest reasons that could be advanced in favour of it. If they judged of the electoral body of England by the shameful disclosures at Wakefield and at Glouces ter, and he believed many other boroughs were quite as bad, it was impossible to find a more cor rupt body of electors than that by which the fran chise was now enjoyed. Contrast the electors of Wakefield and Gloucester with the building opera tives of London. For the maintenance of a principle the operatives had sacrificed, upon the average, a week for 14 consecutive weeks ; while the electors of Wakefield and Gloucester had received without ,rushing money bribes to send persons to Parlia ment as their representatives, whom they knew well were wholly unfitted to be there. He con tended that the conduct of the London. building operatives proved that the working classes were far higher in principle, far more incorruptible, and therefore far more fitted to exercise the franchise, than many who were far above them in station. He trusted that the working men, not only of London, but throughout the kingdom, would support the operatives of the building trades in resisting that badge of slavery, the " odious document," which if they had been content to accept in the sense in which members of Parliament and town councillors accepted the oaths, or clergymen of the Church of England subscribed to the Thirty-nine Articles, they might have easily upset in a week. (Hear, hear.) Mr. POTTER (the secretary) then proceeded to report progress. At the last meetint, on the 30th of September, their object was to show to the master-builders that it was their prerogative to place at the head of affairs whomsoever they thought proper. They had appointed a conference to conduct their affairs, and to carry out, if pos sible, the object they had in view to a successful issue. 'Since then, Mr. Ayrton, the member for the Tower Hamlets, had presented himself at the Paviors' Arms, and offered himself as the instru meat of mediation to adjust the points of difference between the workmen and the masters. (Mr. Potter here detailed the course of the negotiations between Mr. Ayrton and the executive committee of the Central Association of Master Builders.) The four propositions agreed to by the conference were rejected by the executive committee, who sub mitted certain counter propositions of their own, viz., the withdrawal of the strike at Messrs. Trol lope's the abolition of certain trade practices, and the revision of the trade rules by some ex-chan cellor or a retired judge. (Shame.) The con ference subsequently drew up five points, differing. in some respects from those which had been pre viously submitted by Mr. Ayrton on their behalf — (these propositions were read by Mr. Potter, but having already Published them we think it unneces sary to reprint them) —but which also were re jected. To meet the wish of the master builders in reference to the revision of the trades' rules, in their new propositions it was suggested that if they were to be revised it shopld be by the Court of Queen's Bench, which was the highest authority, the most impartial, and the most likely to do justice as between the master and the work man. (Hear, hear.) This, however, did not suit the master builders, who must have my Lord Brougham or my Lord Lyndhurst to say whether the rules and practices objected to were fair and legal or not. (" Shame," and "We won't have them.") But, he asked, after what Lord Brougham had said the other day at Bradford with regard to the disposition of the working men to assume powers of doubtful legality which often led to breaches of the law, and after what he said about machinery and strikes—whether it would be rea sonable or right to submit their trade rules to his revision ? (No, no.) He asked was the opinion of such a man upon such a subject likely to be impar tial, or were their rules ever likely to be of any benefit to them after coming from the hands of such a man ? (No, no.) That noble and learned lord might well boast of what he had done as plain Henry Brougham, but as Lord Brougham he had proved himself to be no friend to the working classes. His want of knowledge showed how unfit he was to pronounce an opinion upon any point concerning their welfare. It was not long since he had talked in the House of Lords of 90,000 men being locked out in consequence of the present dis pute between the workmen and their employers, whereas it was well known to everybody who had made any inquiry into the matter that only 10,000 had been locked out in all. Well, thus terminated Mr. Ayrton's attempts to negotiate a settlement of the points in difference, the master builders refus ing all the propositions unless the conference con sented to withdraw the strike at Trollope's, and alter the trade rules in the manner suggested by themselves. (Shame.) It would have been observed that in the Registrar-General's returns last week there was a separate account of the deaths sup posed to have resulted from the effects of the lock out—the number of deaths in each of the amal gamated trades, and of the deaths of the wives and children of the men in each of the trades, making a total of sixty-four. (A voice—" How many labourers ?") Well, of those sixty-four per sons so died last week, he would ask who had been the cause of their deaths ? (Hear.) Thirteen weeks ago that day . Trollope's men, had thought it well to leave their employment in the assertion of a principle—ten weeks ago that day the master builders had thought it well to begin the lock-out; and six weeks ago that day they had thought it well to reopen their shops, but upon the condition that none should enter unless they degraded them selves in their own eyes, and made themselves offen sive in the eyes of every independent and every religious man. Now, allowing the strike and the lock-out to be legal and right, what could be said of the document? (Hear, hear.) Could that be justi fied ? (No, no.) No, it was illegal, obnoxious, and tyrannical. If the master buildrs could fight the battle fairly, let them do so, but when they found themselves compelled to open their shops, why did they not admit that they were beaten, and sur render with a good grace? (Cheers.) It was the document and the authors of the document that were answerable for all the evils that resulted from the forced idleness of the operatives. (Hear, hear.) This illegal and un-English document had caused all that long train of deaths referred to in the Registrar-General's report. (Cheers.) Public opinion everywhere had condemned the document —in fact it had never been defended except by the Daily News, the Bright and Cobden organ. Ma n y attempts had been made to disguise the document, by calling it a "shop rule" and other names, but in any form it was illegal, and the masters had no right therefore to resort to it. Let them not fear for the result. Their present prospects were bright, else what meant that long list of names that had succumbed—Moxon, Jay, Lawrence, and others t the me amongst( (Cheers.) eer s . ) suc ceed if they only remained true to t hemselves.

(From the Salford TI eekly News.) The most remarkable woman of this century was " Harry' Stokes, the bricksetter, who committed suicide in the sluice of the river Irwell, at Mode Itrheel, last night week. For about 30 years this extraordinary person had lived in Manchester and Salford as a journeyman and master bricksetter ; had been twice married to other women; had kept beerhouses and served customers at the tap as a "jolly landlord ;" had worked at her trade as bricksetter, and erected many important buildings in both towns; and had obtained the reputation of being the most skilful fire-;rate setter and "chim ney doctor" in the neighbourhood. She always dressed as a man, in the clothing peculiar to her trade ; invariably superintended the men in her employment; and could lift a weight, spread the mortar, and set a brick with the best of them. Her habits were those of a man. She attende'd a daily ordinary in the town along with other lnieksetters, drank, smoked, and joked with the hardest, and joined in the evening carousals. Yet, with all this constant and close intimacy with the opposite sex, this strong-minded woman contrived to keep her own great secret ; and there is every reason to be lieve that she has gone down into the valley of death at the advanced age of 60, or thereabouts, having throughout the whole of - her remarkable life maintained an unbroken check upon those pas- sions which crowd the streets of every large town with the unfortunate of her own sex. Her great endeavour was on all occasions to keep up the manly character she had assumed. From a child she had been accustomed to the severe work of one of the most laborious occupations in which man is engaged, and the skill she had attained in the trade reveals an amount of persevering energy which made her worthy of a better fate than a wretched suicide. She was the daughter of a bricklayer, in a vil lage in the neighbourhood of Doncaster. Before she could well balance her own little body, she was made "useful" in the house; and, ere many years had passed over her head, she was brought into ac quaintance with some of the roughest and toughest work in those hard wrought days. Little Harriet Stokes's lines had not been laid in pleasant places. She was so ground down by . the iron hand at home, that, when she was about eight years old, she put on a tattered suit of boy's clothing, and walked forth into the " wide, wide world." Arrived at the village of Whitby, she looked about for work. She had not run away from her father's house because she did not like work, and preferred to eat the bread of idleness. The hard treatment of parents, ignorant of their responsibility, had driven her from the protection of home, and from all the associations which should enchain the young mind to home. That she was not afraid of hard work was appa rent, when she offered her services to a bricksetter a w p e p r e e a a r e t t d e n a d e b d r o w e th set s , u c a c c e t i s v s e , a , n u a s e s h f u e l lad, wa s so a o n n d ta w ke a n s in - Whitby. Though somewhat undersized, she speedily set to work. Her first efforts to please as an apprentice. From this point we must drop the feminine appellative, and speak of " Harry Stokes" as a boy who has worked his way to the dignity of journeyman bricksetter. For something like 20 years from this point wa lose the connect ing links which join this Yorkshire experience to his Manchester life. ' About 25 years ago, however, he was brought prominently under the notice cf the public, by the consequences of an eccentric excur sion which had taken into the domains of matri mony. Harry Stokes wanting a companion in life, executed a matrimonial contretemps. True to his role as a man—for he had now reached the age when the averag e of bricksetters are fathers as well as journeymen—ile cast about and fixed his choice upon a plump lithe widow who kept a beer-houb9 -Cc t 2~~~~'` // 7/2 6„ za SPORTI T L 'FA .1 nTELL.TGEariga - 2/BAY-MARKET HOVAMTON MEEW-th k:4434 34 :4; MONDAY.
