" 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 valuab_ 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.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This EVENING.) The Lofty CIIANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The South-Eastern Railway (Capital) Bill was read a second time. Tho Haslingden Union Gas and Swansea Gas Bills were read a third time and passed. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR rose to move the second reading of this bill, which he hoped would meet with the unanimous approval of their lordships. The house had already giVen its consent to many of the most im portant of the enactments of the bill. The noble and learned lord then referred to the state of the law in the earlier years, and said it was not until the 4th of Queen Anne that it was enacted that a trader who failed and gave honestly and faithfully a full and true account o f his debts and liabilities to his creditors, should be dis charged from all further liability, and should receive a doeu ment,which was in fact a certificate of conformity which pro tected him for the future from all liabilities of his bank ruptcy. Towards the end of the reign of George IV. the bankrupt law was consolidated, and from that time down to the present various other alterations were made for the purpose of improving the state of the law. The appoint ment of official assignees was considered a great improve ment, but notwithstanding this great expense was still entailed upon the estates of bankrupts before the assets were realised for distribution amongst the credi tors. Great as had been the inconvenience in the case of the traders, it was far exceeded by that attending the case of non-traders. For them, for many years, there was no relief except through the instrumentality of the insolvency laws, which enabled the debtor to surrender his property for the benefit of his creditors after he had lain for three months in prison. His estate after that time was divided between his creditors, and his liability to liquidate his debts, if he afterwards acquired sufficient property ro enable him to do so, still remained. Having reviewed the different measures that had been introduced into Par. liament with a view of amending the bankrupt law, the noble and learned lord proceeded t) notice the principal clauses of the present bill which had been brought forward by: his hon. and learned friend Sir R. Bethell. It was not, he said, intended to consolidate the law, but to amend it. It did not do away with the dis tinction of trader and non-trader, but on a debtor being proved insolvent, whether trader or non-trader, he was to be dealt with by the same tribunal and under the same law; the non-trader's property would be vested in a trustee for the benefit of his creditors, and he would therefore become free for ever from all his debts contracted before his insolvency. Provision was also made in the act to meet the cases of those persons who fraudulently went abroad, and remained there, on purpose to defraud his creditors. By some of the clauses of the bill which had been framed by his hon. friend Sir Hugh Cairns, the possibility was altogether pre-. eluded of a person so resident being taken by surprise, for he must have thirty days allowed to show cause why he should not be declared insolvent. By the present bill the Insolvency Court was altogether done away with, and there was but one Court of Bakruptcy, which would save a great expense and prevent a great deal of unnecessary confusion. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were considered, and ordered for third reading : —Elland Gas; Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax Junction Railway; and Oldham and Ripponden Roads. The Charing-cross Railway (City Terminus) Bill was read a second time. STREET RAIL 'COMPANY BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. CHILDERS, on the part of the promoters, moved that the second reading be postponed for a fortnight. Mr. SCULLY moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. He contended that this was a bill which should not have been brought before the house. The object of the measure was to give a monopoly to a par ticular company t 3 enable them to possess themselves of all the streets throughout the kingdom. It was not a bill of a public character, and if passed would enable the promoters to lay down rails at discretion, and he contended from the importance of the object that it should have been brought forward as a public bill. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the provisions of the bill he drew the attention of the house to the fact that when the proposed tramways were laid down there was no power to take them up. The hon. and learned member read a section of the act in support of his assertion. Sir J. SHELLEY seconded the amendment for the read ing of the bill that day six months. The gentleman who had proposed the postponement of the bill for a fortnight had shown no ground for his proposition. The house was now full, and the amendment of the hon. and learned member (Mr. Scully) having been on the paper, members were aware of what they were now called on to consider, so that they came to the house pre pared to deal with the question. Mr. Train had laid down one of these tramways in Victoria-street, and having inspected it, he was satisfied that the system could not be extended with safety to the crowded streets of London. He heard that a serious accident occurred that morning in Bayswater, which arose from the fact of there beinm b , no means of pre venting horses running away. He objected to the bill, also, on the ground of its conferring a monopoly. Mr. BRIGHT said that arguments might be urged against the bill, but those which had been used were of the most antequated, and might have been applied with equal force to the construction of railways 30 years ago. With respect to the accident alluded to, he believed that any one acquainted with the mode of transit proposed by this bill would see that it was calculated to diminish the occurrence of accidents in the public streets. The bill was merely permissive, and did not give any such powers as was alleged, but merely enabled a company to treat with those persons who were authorised to deal with the question of public transit in the metropolis and throughout the kingdom. There was only one matter to which the house could object in reference to this bill, and that was the limitation as to the description of vehicles to run upon these tramway s, which were intended to provide a remuneration to the pro moters of the company. Ho thought, of course, that that company should look to compensation, but the question should be referred to a select committee. He had put his name on the bill from a belief that it was likely to promote public benefit, and as he was anxious that it should be fully considered he would vote for its postponement for a fortnight. Mr. MASSEY objected to the bill on the ground that from its importance it should have been brought forward as a public instead of a private bill, for it was in reality a public measure. (Hear.) From clause 14th it was evident that the bill proposed a monopoly to a certain company, to which he strongly objected, considering that the object, prop sed was one of a public character, and be contended that a bill like the present should be introduced only with the sanction of the Government. (Bear, hear.) Mr. CHILDERS said that after the intimation of the hon. member who had just addressed the house, he would consent to withdraw the bill provided there was an under standing that the subject would be taken up by her Ma ,, jesty's Government. Mr. HENLEY considered that it would be better to ac cede to tho proposition for the second reading that day six months, which would merely pledge the house to a disap proval of form in which the bill was brought forward, namely, as a private bill and not of its principle. Lord FERMOY opposed the bill. The amendment for reading the bill a second time that day six morths was agreed to without a division, and the bill was accordingly negatived. BELLIGERENT RIGHTS. Sir G. GREY appealed to the hon. member for Liver CONSERVATIVE LAND SO At the thirty-fourth quarterly general meeting of the above Society, held at their offices, 33, Norfolk-street, Strand, this forenoon—Lord Ranelagh in the chair—the following report was unanimously agreed to : The Executive Committee, in submitting to the share holders the thirty-fourth report, refer wish satisfaction to the annexed returns for the first six months ending at Lady day, of the financial year : Shares .

The first allotment of land and ground. rents for the pre sent year took place at the offices on the 28th of February. The successful sale of plots on the second portion of the Woodbury Park Estate, Tunbridge Wells, proves the popu larity of this picturesque property. The advantage of the running of direct trains to Tunbridge Wells is little over the hour, the construction of the new roads on the estate with short communications to the town and railway station, and the opening of the new church at St. John-on-the- Lew, on the freehold site set apart with the ground for the parsonage on the society's plan, have increased considerably the value of the Woodbury Park Estate. For the ground•rents offered at this allotment on the St. Margaret's and Battersea Estates, there was considerable competition amongst the holders of of choice. The' next allotment (the second this year) is fixed for Thursday, the 16th of May, on which occasion will be offered other portions of the Roehampton Park Estate in building plots, at prices ranging according to size and situa tion from close-built houses to high-class villas. The Ken tish Town Estate drainage having been completed under the sanction of the Metropolitan and St. Pancras Boards of Works, a new plan has been printed, and the unsold por tions will be offered to the holders of rights and to the general public. The forty-third estate purchased for the society, being the third property in Hertfordshire, will be allotted during this year. As the land is situated close to the railway and fronts the High-street of Hertford, adjoining to the second estate, for which the demand has been so good, the share holders can be congratulated on this acquisition. The executive committee have the gratification also of informing the members, that two new churches are now open for divine worship at Maidstone and Winchester, the freehold sites for which were presented by the society. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury consecrated St. Paul's Church at Maidstone, and preached the sermon, and the Christchurch district church was consecrated by the Bishop of Winchester. The Rev. Canon Carus has made the mu nificent gift of £3,000 to this last-mentioned church ; £2,000 for the edifice and £l,OOO for the endowment. The great extension of the metropolitan railroad system, and the large removal of houses required for the various companies are attracting the attention of the Legislature. Building land in the suburban. districts will be more than ever in demand. The executive committee, in the acquisi tion of property in and near the metropolis, considered that the increasing disposition evinced by all classes of the com munity to abandon the crowded streets in order to live in healthy localities at a convenient distance from town would eventually exercise a powerful influence in the development of the society's estates. It is now the time for the allot tees to turn to account their freehold land. Those who undertook building operations with advances from the Conservative Land Society, have had reason to be satisfied with the result, whilst shareholders who were holders of rights of choice have been thus afforded the opportunity of purchasing ground rents on most eligible terms. The committeeinvite attention to the foll3wing estates in the six Home Counties, as presenting peculiar advantages of prompt omnibus, river, and railroad communication with the metropolis : MIDDLESEX. Kentish:town estate, York-road, N., by the North Lon don, Great Northern, and omnibus. Old Ford estate, Old Ford-road, E., by the Eastern Counties, North London, and omnibus. Roman-road estate, North Bow, by the Eastern Coun ties, North London, and omnibus. Seven Sisters estate, Tottenham, by the Eastern Coun ties and omnibus. Wood-green estate, Bound's-green, by the Colney-hatch and Wood-green stations of Great Northern. Enfield estate, close to station, by the Eastern Counties. Hackney estate, close to station, by the North London and omnibus. Ealing estate, the Church, by the Great Western and omnibus. Hounslow estate, close to station, by the South Western. St. Margaret's estate, Twickenham and Isleworth, by the Richmond, Twickenham, and Isleworth stations, river, and Richmond omnibus. SURREY, EAST. Putney estates, Putney-bridge and Wandsworth-road, by the river, omnibus, and South Western. Battersea estate, Lower Wandsworth-road, by the river, omnibus, and South Western. Camberwell Houses estate, Denmark-road, by the omni bus. Roehampton-park estate, Roehampton, by the Barnes and Putney stations. SURREY, WEST. Oatlands Grange estate, Weybridge ' by the Smith West. Guildford estate, Guildford, by the South Western. KENT, WEST. Brockley-hill-park estate, Forest-hill, by the Forest-hill and Beckenham stations. Woodbury-park estate, Tunbridge-wells, by the South Eastern. Maidstone estate, St. Paul's Church, by the South Eastern and North Kent. HERTFORDSHIRE. Hertford and Ware (No. 1 ) estate, halfway between the two towns, by the Eastern Counties and Great Northern. Hertford (No 2) estate, Fore-street, adjoining station, by the Eastern Counties and Great Northern. Hertford (No. 3) estate, Fore-street, adjoining station, by the Eastern Counties and Great Northern, ESSEX, SOUTH. Maldon estate, Maldon, by the Eastern Counties. SUSSEX. Roundhill-park.estate, Brighton, by the South Coast. In addition to the above estates in the Home Counties, there may be added the Downshire-square estate, Reading, fronting the road to Oxford. The executive committee, in the mention of the above estates as admirably adapted for the erection of residences (the railroad, even to the most distant property, bringing it within what were formerly termed suburban districts), beg to remind the shareholders that the roads and drainage, the supply of water and gas, are in nearly every instance complete, and that the salubrity of the situation and the eligibility of the sites are unexceptionable. On these estates there is ample room for selection from the habitation cal culated for the industrious and saving operative to the first class villa. The investor in any of the unsold land can pay the cost of his land by easy monthly instalments, and the allottee who wishes to build on his plot is afforded every facility in the way of advances. More than this, the com mittee claim credit for the society's system in securing for the buyers of land unusual advantages in legal and survey ing expenses. On some of the estates railroad companies offer strong inducements for building, either by granting free passes for a certain number of years to the owner of a house, or by a ' reduction of fares • and there is little doubt after the patrio tic appeals made by Lord Derby and Lord Shaftesbury, who have so earnestly and eloquently advocated the claims of the displaced working classes, that further concessions for the accommodation of the public will be made by the metropolitan railway boards, whose interest and policy must be to promote building operations at or near every station within an easy distance of London. The executive corn.• mittee have on various occasions vainly endeavoured to im press on some of the railway companies the importance of inducing holders of building land to build ; and as the Le gislature has now taken up the subject of securing extra accommodation for the persons who will have to look for houses in the suburbs, the directors may entertain the ex pectation that there may be for the future additional temp tations held out to the allottees of the Conservative Land Society. Buildings to a considerable extent have taken place on the above estates, and the opportunity is still afforded to obtain plots either from the society or from allottees. (Signed) RANELAGH, Chairman.

Mr. ANGERSTEIN asked the Secretary to the Admi ralty, if the officers of the Woolwich Dockyard had recently made any report or reports to the Admiralty upon the statements contained in the report of the Royal Com missioners appointed to inquire into the management and control of her Majesty's dockyards, as to the num ber of errors alleged to have been discovered in certain documents in the departments of the storekeeper, the ac countant, and the chief engineer ; and, if so, whether it was the intention of the Government to lay the same upon the table of the house ?
