CURE FOR LEPROSY.

It is well known in India, though not so at home,
that Dr. Bhau Daji, a skilled native physician in
Bombay, has for many years made the cure of leprosy
a special object of investigation, with so much success
as to entitle him to be regarded, according to local
papers, as "one of the benefactors of the world."
Latterly, Dr. Bhau has stnveu to establish an hospital
solely hr lepers, where his treatment and regimen can
be rigidly administered, and therefore more thoroughly
tested than heretofore. A trustworthy eye-witness says
that there are at present seventy cases under this treat-
ment, some quite cured, and others in all stages of
cure." It is stated that "the cure is slow, varying
with the stage of the I lisease, the age and constitution
of the patient, &c., but that in four to eight months
wonderful effects are produced ;" and that Dr. Bhau is
sanguine, not without good reason, "that the worst
cases may be cured in twelve months." One " bad "
case instanced is that of a student, who under very
careful ordinary medical treatment for eight months
received no benefit from it whatever, but, having now
tried Dr. Bhau Daji's regimen and medicine for three
months, says he feels sure he will be quite cured by
them, and is already not unfit to appear in public.
Those who know what leprosy is hi India, and how
totally European skill and the ingenuity of native
tyads have failed in treating this proverbially loath-
some and desperate disease, will look with interest on
the progress of Dr. Bhau Daji's very hopeful experi-
ment.

THE IRON TRADE.

The reports as to the condition of trade on
Wednesday were a slight degree more reassur-
ing. All sorts of small sizes in finished iron are
more in demand ; there is a better inquiry for
boiler plates, and some hopes Um', next quarter
the heavier kinds of iron will be in better de-
mand than for some time past. The result is
that pig-iron of 'oval manufacture is held firmly
again, and but for the low terms upon which
pig-iron the manufacture of either district is
brought into the market, would be increased in
price. All disquietude as to the mailers strike
is at an end. The Union itself acknowledges
that about a thousand men accepted the inas
ters' terms last week, and when the masters-
gather in quarterly preliminary meeting at Bir-
mingham on Thursday next, there will be a few
out ti whom masters are able and willing to
vivo employment. The strike lingers only in
West Bromwhich district, were since last quar-
ter a number of men have been at work at wages
which are to be ruled by the result of the strike,
thus giving an appearance to the impression
that they are not subject to the general reduc-
tion in wages.

The amount of business transacted at the
Exchange on Thursday, was to a very limited
extent; in fact there are not any large specifica•
tiens about, and consumers of every class con.
tinne to supply themselves sparingly. The
principal firms are doing about two-thirds work;
the second makers are very indifferently engaged.
Such of the houses as do a trade with America
are rather better off; hut in almost every respect
the aspect which the trade presents is unsatis•
factory. Not only is there no appearance of ani•
illation, but prices are indifferently maintained,
exaept as regards a few favourite brands.
A considerable number of the puddler; are
still out, hut the bulk of them have gone in at
the reduction.

SETTLING DAY.

And lip draughts upon banking arrange bean), books.
Be it Etwell..t the Corner, or Cads at the public,
All who het must be passed through the settling day's

Iligh-tited young fools who go "croppers" for thousands,
Horsey shoputeu whose losses colon out of the till.
"All hope abandon that enter this Portal
Dante read urit on the lintels of licit.
Tut nod into Mush English from musical Tuscan,
The motto might serve for the "Corner" as well.
A Turtite Inferno, with circle on circle,
From Limbo to black Malebolge bet AV,
Might serve a new Dante as theme for a vision,
And "Ruffs" ghost be his -guide" the foul region to show.
There new-entered green-horns still quick to emotions
Of bononr told shame, the Ilia doles might grace ;
himn those who against all such scruples case-hardened,
By " good things" mean had things that ''pull oil" a race.
And to,, through a fie, petting gamut of baseness,
Till the victim has me to the Mark bitter end,
And ''l,, win " hold: there's nothing too hot or too heavy,
From •• pilling "a horse to stuelmining a friend.
'Tis a sweet world we live in; and snow-white the morals

'Tis not now as it was when our fathers had Crockford's,

Save the cards known as Dolling, and Iliey are correct.
Our fordathers revelled themselves in undoing,
We're more wise in our works, and more pure in our plays ;
In a word, we've shut up all the old roads to bunt,
Through the Turf stud the City to ope her new Ay.
We don't play, but we "plunge," take our "furors" and

THE STOrRI3IIIDGE OBSERVEn.

In this there is hope in the future. The press
is still being developed, and a large part of the
people has yet to be permeated by its salutary
influence. As its power increases we may look
for the progress of humanity in the arts of
pe lee, and for irresistible antagonism to the soi•
cidal policy of war.

Mr. Stoke.% remarked that Mr. Thompson was the
captain of their good ship, and well merited the ttnani•
coos confidence of the members—(applatisel.
Mr. Thompson, in a nest speech, ecknnveledeed the '
compliment. and 'mired the members that be should
ow itinue ti discharge the duties of his office above board,
and he hoped to the satisfaction of the members—(ap•
pious.).
The Chairman then inquired whether any member had
any remark to offer 7.
Mr. Joseph Thompson said there wee a question of
Importance to which he wished to direct the attention of
the meeting. It world be in the memory of most pre.
sent that about twelve months since Dr. Heslop, of Bit,
naingham, issued an address to his medical brethren, in
which he told them that they were insufficiently paid by
Friendly Societies for their services. Now when the
: "People's Society" was established medical gentlemen
were appointed who were—or appeared to be—very
wil-
ling to underteke the duties for Us per member, per an-
num, but now they were asking for a rice from Ss to ss.
Tkey were not agreed, however, at present amongst
tbemselres what mount they should hate, and he (the
speaker) thought the society had better wait awhile
before taking any action and see what terms the doctors
would propose, lie would just mention that the com-
mittee hail discussed the subject, and it appeared to
them that the case would be best met if the surgeons
would continue on the present terms for the old mem-
bers and have s per member per annum for each mem-
, ber that might hereafter join. It was not at all likely
that the members who held policies would hand them in
, to have their contributions increased.

The members subsequently dined together at the
house of Mrs. Belton, Castle Hotel. A capital spread
was served up, and under the presidency of Mr. Como.

A VERY BAD CASE.

At the Central Criminal Court, in London, no Monday,
henry Wiltshire, alio. Gr ntl3, ta-ent -five, a gent 'maul).
looking young man, dem:tined RI living no oceitp Mon.
pleaded guilty to an indictment a Melt charged him with
fel°, int. marrying with one Ada Mary Sum° Ladle,
Lis wife, Ellen Erie, !wing afire.

Mr. Croon)°, who WWI instructed to prosecute,
in-
oruied the court that the pi isoner was married to his
first wife, a young lady of great respectability, in the
year 1864, but after the marriage the in inner became
very dissipated, and treated his wife so ill that her
friends were obliged to remove her from him.
The prisoner continued his bad career, and
was app,thended about a year and a half tgo
for forgery, and WM tried for the offence in this
court, but was acquitted. In the course of last year
he was introduced to the fondly of the young lady,
ith whom he went through the ceremony of marriage
on the second occasion, and by his plausible manners
and his representations that he was a man of fortune,
succeeded LI inducing the mother of the young lady to
consent to his marriage with her daughter, and the
ceremony was performed in April leek and the

prisoner and his bride started to the Isle of Wigl t
to pass their honeymoon. A few days afterward
the tact of the first marriage was disc-cere I, 14n• •
the friends of the young lady wont .ter her and
fetched her away from the prisoner, arid the
present prosecution was instituted against him.
Missiv, who appeared for the defince, sail he
was instructed that it Was not true that the pi isana
hail represented himself to be a imin of fi cuing and he
sail that when he contracted t e second marrlage he
slid so under the belief that he was a free man, acting
under the foolish notion that Ms first marriage was
not a valid 'one, on account of himself and his wit,
having resided in different parishes previi MN to the
marriage, the banns having only been published in one
of those parishes.
In answer to a question put by the learned Recorder,
Mr. Croome stated that the young lady to whom the
prisoner was married on the last occasion was a min.'s,
but she would become frititled to a small fortune when
she game of age. With regard to the pri&mer, he not
only represented himself to be a man of property, but
he actually professed to settle several thousand pounds
upon his wife by &settlement made at the time of the
marriage. In the course of the correspondence he
hail with the young lady, he was always referring to
his expectations, and wrote a long account of a scene
at his mother's death-bed, whereas, in point of fact,
his mother was alive at the rftesent time.
The Recorder, in passing sentence, expressed his
opinion that it was a very bad case, and said that the
prisoner had been guilty of a great deal of wicked
artifice to get possession of this young lady, sod the
fortune to which he, no doubt, believed that she was
entitled. Ile, therefore, felt it to be his duty to
sentence him to undergo five years' penal servitude.

I MPORTANT MEETINCi OF RATEPAYERS LAST

NIGIir.
A large and influential meeting of ratepayers was held
last night at Mr. Hickton's. the Qaeell's Head. for the
purpose of taking into consideration the desirability of
adopting the Local Government Art. Long before the
time appointed the I.krge room was crowded to excess,
and upwards of Ws) persons were present.
Mr. Whitley wax voted to the chair.
Mr. J. Homfray, solicitor, was present, and read letters
from Messrs. Barris, after which a long and animated
discussion took place in favour of adopting the Local
Government Art.

timaie y it was proposed, neconded, and carried
nnanimously—" That the Act be adopted for Reddall
Hill alone, and that the poll be proceeded with."
A Committee was at once formed for the purpose of
carrying out the above resolution.

..
A vote of thanks to the Chairman, terminated the
proceedings.

eltAbirt.
BIRMINGHAM BANERF PVT COl'llt.—ta re tr. Fterptr,
Cradley, timber dealer ; adjourned last etamination. Mr.
Griffin appeared for the official assignee, and Mr. God•
son barrister, izstructed by Mr. Conies. for the bank-
rupt, who came into court with a deficiency Of £295.
The sitting had been adjourned for the purpose of ob.
taming possession of some property which the bankrupt
at first refused to give up. Bankrupt, in examination,
now said that he went out of the premises last Tuesday
morning. He gave a bill of sale over the whole of his
iiroperty to his son, in consideration a 99 money
lent, a horse and cart sold, and interest upon the loan.
Ile supposed his son got the bill of stile from Lim, be-
cause he knew he was in ditficulties.—Mr. Griffin said be
was instructed to ask that the matter might lie allowed to
stand over till the son could be examined as to the bill
of sale, which was on the face of it given in frond, and
was therefore void. The object was to bring an action
i against the son to recover the property. The bill win
given on the 24th of January, on the 26th the goods
were sold, and on the 28th the petition In bankruptcy
was filed.—The Commissioner asked whither oe the
property was no small it was worth while to take any ac-
tion.—Mr. Griffin said he should not ark for the case to
be sent to the Assizes; but an action he thought would
be brought against the brother, if he was w irth ppwder
and shot, which he very much doubted.—His Honour
said that perhaps the matter had better be left where it
was. There were emblems of roguery about the case ;
but the bankrupt had not brought Limaelt under the act.
The order of discharge would therefore be granted.

EMPLOYERS v. EMPLOYED.

A case of considerable interest to emplovers and
employed has been heard at Sheffield. Mr. Powell, a
master builder of Sheffield, having had a dispute with
his workmen in April last, resulting from the alleged
disregard of some trivial rule of the trade, relating to
the dressing of stone at the quarry instead of at the
ate of the building for which it is intended, the men
struck, and issued a placard requesting other stone.
masons not to take employment under him. Mr.
Powell met this move by sending for a supply of men
from the Free Labour Society, who, on their arrival
at Sheffield. were induced by the masons on strike to
return to London, their expenses being paid by the
union. The magistrates expressed their opinion that
a pri ma Jane case of conspiracy and combination to
injure Mr. Powell in his trade had been made out, and
committed nine if the accused to take their trial at
the next assizes. Bail was applied for and granted.
