COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a court was held for the despatch of busi-
ness. _

The LORD Mktoß said that he had received a letter
from the Bishop of London, as follows :
" London-house, Feb. 21, 1855.
"My dear Lord,—Does not your lordship think that
there ought tube a specialYcollection made for the suffering
poor of London at this inclement season ? It might, per-
haps, be administered through the Association for the Re-
lief f Destitution in the Metropolis, which would insure
its safe and judicious distribution.--C. J. LONDON."
He (the Lord Mayor) had latterly opened as many as
600 letters from persons in distress, and in many cases
ho had found that the writers were in a deplorable con-
dition. Under these circumstances he hoped that a mo-
tion would be made by some member of the court for a
grant of money for the relief of the poor. (Hear.)
Mr. Deputy DOWER, after some statements relative to
the abject destitution of the coalwhippers and their
families, moved that 5001. be granted by the curt to-
wards their relief. A discussion ensued. Several mem-
bers objected to the 5001. being appropriated to the
relief of a particular class, and ultimately the following
amendment, proposed by Alderman Kennedy, was car-
ried :

" That tho um of 1,0001. be voted for a general fund
for the relief of the suffering poor of the City of London,
inclusive of the coalwhippers and fellowship porters ; and
that this sum be placed at the disposal of the Coal, Corn,
and Finance Committee ; and that the public generally be
invited to contribute to the amount to be distributed ; and
that the etatiliug order be suspended on this occasion."

"OXFORD'S OWN."

1 There is something eminently feline in all Mr. Gla cl-
stone's movements. He is always bent on stealing noise-
-1 lessly upon his object. This propensity is curiously
illustrated in his proceedings with regard to the news-
paper stamp. We speak not of the merits of this mea-
sure, but of the manner in which he has attempted to
carry it. Mr. Gladstone's first resolution on this subject
as it stood on the notice of motions for Monday last,
contained these words :—" To charge on newspapers
and printed books and papers transmitted by post, rates
of postage not exceeding ene penny fur every four ounces
in weight, and for any fractional part of four ounces."
On Monday evening, Mr. Gladstone asked, and was
allowed, to have his resolutions passed without discus-
sion, in the committee of supply, reserving debate on.
them for the second reading of his bill. The resolutions
were accordingly put and carried in committee, nobody
attending to their exact phraseology. In the votes
of next morning, the resolutions appeared with an im-
portant alteration in the passage we have quoted
above. It ran thus :—"To charge on newspapers
and printed books and papers transmitted by post, rates
of postage according to weight." Nor is it in these
words alone that "Oxford's Own " has taken the House
of Commons and the country by surprise in this matter.
Mr. Gladstone got his resolutions passed without oppo-
sition by professing a wish to have them promulgated,
in order that the public might form a deliberate opinion
of them. Yet the till founded on them was introduced
and read a first tim,• on the same evening that they were
reported. That bill stands on the list of orders to be
read a second time this day ; arid yet yesterday, at three
p.m., the puhlisher of the Parliamentary papers had
heard nothing of it. The parties most interested in the
measure have had no op?,ortunitv afforded them of
learning its contents. The House of Commons has been
inveigled into passing a resolution materially different
from that which was presented to it. The country is
well quit of such a dexterous Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, and will have no wish to see him back in office
imposing taxes by tricks of legerdemain before any ono
knows aught of what he proposes.—Daily New.

STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational
Treatmeat and Prompt Cure.
By F B. COUBTENIY,
Member of tho Royal College of Surgeons of England.
. .

" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of surprise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous and skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments ;
and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the
whole range of surgical operations, it mist be no slight source of
gratification on Mr. Courtemay's part to have achieved the reputation
he has in this res ,ect ; and for our part, witk the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whoge care we would with
greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would

less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money.... —This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
melt upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."

A MIRACLE AT BALAKLAVA.

The happy prevention of the great gunpowder

believed by a few. The story
n uthat the transport Arabia
was on fire, and it was expected every moment that the
Star of the West, which was lying
alongside with a
heavy cargo ammunition
cf on board, would be blown
up if the fire spread in the least, a Polish Jew rushed
a
down to the water, and tearing piece of parchment,
on whick a circle and a double triangle were inscribed,
from his neck, he gave it to a sailor, imploring him to
tie it to a piece of the burnt wood of the vessel, and to
throw it into the flames without less of time. This the
sailor did, whilst the Jew himself drew a picture of the
burning ship on the beach with a stick, and commenced
walking slowly round it, at the same time repeating
some mysterious cabalistic sentences. After walking
round Isis drawing three times, he cried : "The fire is
cursed now, and utterly harmless !" This ha could a.-
fe-rt pretty confidently, as already during his second
walk round the circle, the vessel had made signal that
the fire had been checked and was speedily being wholly
put out. I will not say that the Pole understood whsi
the transport was telegraphing, but his quick and cun-
ning soon detected by the exclamations of the bystand-
ers that the news were good, and he made his prophetic
speech accordingly. He now demands as a reward for
the miracle he wrought a large sum of money, his
liberty, and a public return of thanks by the whole
English army.

The closing accounts from the Paris Bourse last even-
ing present a reaction of not quite a quarter per cent.
from the sudden improvement of Wednesday. At Vienna
there is still much hcavihisse.

THE NEW MINISTERIAL MIMS.

There were various rumours late last night as to new
anticipated changes in the Government, and also with
regard to the way in which the vacancies which have oc-
curred are to be filled up. We will not repeat these ru-
mour:, because we could not learn that anything definite
and final had taken place ; but we may state that we
were again assured that Mr. Cardwell had resigned the
Presidentship of the Board of Trade, and that Lord Can-
ning was hesitating as to whether or not he ought to
resign the Post-office and his seat in the Cabinet.
We are sorry that Lord Palmerston does not, by any
means, seem duly impressed with the importance of
getting the mist competent men into his Government.
We do not allude to those offices only to which seats in
the Cabinet are attached; we allude equally to other but
still very important situations, which, if properly filled,
would greatly strengthen Lord Palmerston's Govern-
ment. Mr. Macgregor, the member for Glasgow, would,
for example, be an invaluable acquisition in various im-
portant offices in the Government. How happens it
that the new Premier does not avail himself of that hon.
gentleman's extensive and singularly-accurate knowledge
of the various questions connected with trade, commerce,
and finance Sir Robert Peel proved his high apprecia-
tion of Mr. Macgregor's vast amount of information,
and great aptitude for business, by 3 onfiding to him the
onerous and important duty of getting up and arranging
the details of the celebrated free trade measures of 1845.
In fact, Mr. Macgregor may, in a sense, be said to have
been the author of these measures. We therefore repeat
the question—Why should the country be deprived of
the services of such a man ?—ifonting Advertiser.

Kew could be heated at a cost is fuel and labour of
14s. Bd. per day, effecting a saving of about l,lOOl.
per annum. The houses and pits at Messrs. Weeks's
are complete in every department, and measure in length
1,100 feet, while the surface of glass exposed to the
atmosphere is 16,000 feet. The whole consists of con-
servatories, green-houses, het-henses, aid several pits
with top aid bottom heat, all appropriated to their
several purposes. The length of pipes to beat the whole is
but 5,000 feet, and the fuel consumed in 24 hours during
the winter months, at a cost of Ss. per day, is 3 sacks of
coke, while the boiler requires attention only once in 12
hours, and then but for one hour, thus oceupying a max
no more than two hours out of the 24, at Si computed
cost of Bd. per day. The great Palm Hens.
at Row,
measuring in length 355 feet, with a surface of glass ex-
posed to tie atmosphere of 42,200 feet, requires 15,000
feet of pipe to heat it, and consumes in 24 hours,
during the winter months, 72 sacks of fuel (being two
parts coke and one part coal), at a cost of 6/. 12s. per
day. The boilers, 12 in number, occupy
.the whole at-
tention of two men by day and one by night, at gkut, b a cost
of about 10e. per day. Until very lately, there were
six boilers of various sizes, but all on the same principle,
employed at Messrs. Syeeks's to heat the different
houses and pits, and altnough those boilers were found
to be efficient and economical during eight years, each
doing three times more work than the common descrip-
tion of boiler, recea t improvements convinced the in-
ventors that important results were attainable by sub-
stituting ono boiler for 6, and now the whole of the es-
tablishment is heated effectually by one boiler, 5 feet
high by 3 feet 6 inches in diameter. The whole of the
several houses and pits can be heated at one time or
separately, with a full command of heat and regulated
at pleasure.

Kelly, of Fulham, the winner of the prize last year,
was the favourite ; but Henry Clasper, the late champion
of the Tyne, had a considerable number of backers, nor
was W. Pocock without friends. It was one of the greatest
races ever seen, and redounded to the credit of all en-
gaged. All went away at a great pace, with a very fine
course. At the committee barge a sheet would have co
yered the whole party, they were so close ' • and at French's
the sport was capital; Kelly there headed Robins by about
two feet, Chitty, Clasper, and Pocock being precisely
level, a quarter of a length astern. At Craven Cottage,
Kelly began to draw away web, but the others were all
so level that it almost appealed like a fresh start, and
moreover so close to each other, that a foul must ine-
vitably have occurred but for the extremely excellent
conduct of the men ; but the chance of collision was
counteracted by the extreme care exhibited by all to pre-
vent it. Between Craten Cottage and the Crab Tree
Robins gradually established his claim to the second
place, and so the heat ended, with scarcely half a dozen
lengths between the first and fourth men.

It was an exciting race, and looked forward to with
much anxiety. The start was magnificent, Kelly dashing
off with the lead, followed by John Mackinney, Robins
lying for the moment well up, and in the next giving
place to T. Mackiuney. in this order they came down
at a❑ extraordinary pace to the finish, Robins sharply
disputing the third place.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

The Royal yacht, Captain the Hon. J. Denman, went
out of the harbour this morning aid proceeded to
Osborne Roads.

The Malacca, 17, screw, Captain Farquhar, went out
of harbour this morning, and anchored at Spithead,
where she took in her powder and shell.
The Rosamond, 6, paddle (guns disembarked), pro-
ceeded to Osborne this morning to receive on board the
Queen's carriages, van, and equipments.
Two schooners, draughted into the transport service
by special order, and freighted with 13-inch shell, sailed
yesterday from Woolwich for Southampton. Having
passed Erith, one of them (the Elizabeth, of Hartlepool)
sprang a leak, and was fast filling, when she was run
ashore. The accident is supposed to have proceeded
from the shells having been shot on board by means of a
spout, that being a more ready method than the use of
the crane.

The Adder and Alyrtlo steamers, from Sheerness,
arrived at Woolwich yesterday.

THE CRIMEA.

A letter from Lemberg, in Gallicia, of the Bth,
in the Cologne (gazette, says :—" According to ac-
counts from southern Russia, the Commissariat
Department has declared that it is impossible to
!eed a greater number of men than are now in the
Crimea, estimated at 250,000, and that it has con-
sequently been resolved to send no more reinforce-
ments there. Great efforts are, however, being
made to stock the storehouses with provisions and
ammunition, sufficient to last through the winter.
And in order to keep up the armies in the Crimea
at their present strength, troops have been sta-
tioned in the Governments of Bessarabia and
Chersou in such a manner as to be abl© to proceed
rapidly to the Crimea, or if required to effect a
concentration."

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
s quences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
vhick have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
mod, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
3ther class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
Inc health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled:
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are
,irnacip • los of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
ierangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
"he Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
.tractice in the treatment of these delicate compiaints, which have
d,tortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant
emeirics, who inflict gre it injury on those who are induced to place
faith in their pretensions.
