The above work contains most useful and interesting
information on the physiological changes which occur
in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth,
puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that
ti•-_,ree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity
depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man-
hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they
are lzst, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the
gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous
remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac-
tisiiEr with false medical qualifications, inflict most. serious
injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive.

GARDENS IN TOWNS PROTECTTON BILL.

Lord REDESDALE moved the -second reading of this
bill, the otject of which was to set at rest all questions as
to the title of certain open spaces in the metropolis. As a
necessity for the bill, the noble lord instanced the state of
Leicester-square at the present time, which was a disgrace
to the metropolis. If the bill received the assent of Parlia-
ment these open spaces would be properly attended to, and
they would become that which they in fact ought to be,
ornaments to the metropolis.

Lord ST. LEONAR.DS objected to certain tarts of the
bill.

The LORD CHANCELLOR also pointed out some
difficulties which existed on the subject.
Lord REDESDALE said if the bill was read a second
time he should have no objection to refer it to a select com-
mittee.

The bill was then read a second time.
[LEFT SITTING.]

HOUSE OF COMMONS—TiIIs EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
PETITIONS.
Some petitions were presented in favour of an amend-
ment of the Irish Poor Law, by Lord 11. CECIL, from cer-
tain gentlemen in the West Riding of York, alleging that
the Government were in the habit of adopting means
to procure the absence of honourable members from
the house during debates, and praying the house
to take the steps necessary to prevent the continuance of
such a practice, and thereby to assert their own dignity.

On the motion of Mr. ADAM, an address for a copy of
any correspondence which had taken place between the
India-office and the Admiralty relative to the proposed re-
moval from the India-office of the transport of troops and

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of 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 valtiable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be four d in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Aedical Circular.

DENMARK.

The Dagbladet of the 25th inst. says :—" Nothing
has been said for some time respecting the supposed
or meditated alliance of the Prince of Wales with
her Royal Highness the Princess Alexandra of
Denmark. This silence, which is easily explained
by the lamented death of the Prince Consort, has
been broken. Some foreign journals have stated
that the Prince of Wales, on his jiurney to the
East, has had an interview with the Danish Prin-
cess, and that the betrothal has taken place. We
owe it to truth to rectify that assertion, which must
have arisen from some mistake, it being quite im-
possible such an interview could have taken place,
as the august Princess has not for one moment left
Copenhagen."

Mr. G. F. Fenwick, of Northumberland,
has pre-
sented to the National Lifeboat Institution £250, to enable
it to station a lifeboat at Robin Hood's Bay, on the York-
shire coast. The benevolent donor expresses a hope that
contributions may bo raised locally to build a boathouse
and a transporting carriage for the boat. Considering that
Robin Hood's Bay is one of the most dangerous points on
the coast, we trust that Yorkshire will not be backward in
assisting the institution to complete forthwith this import..
ant lifeboat station.
STEAM SHIPBUILDING ON THE CLYDE.—It ap-
pears that last year 81 steamers were turned out by Clyde
shipbuilders. The collective burden of these vessels was
60,185 tons ; the aggregate power of their engines was
12,493 horses; the cost of their hulls and fittings was
£1,251,300; and the cost of their engines £456,800. At the
commencement of the current year 27 steamers were in pro-
gress, of a total burden of 28,362 tons and 6,140-horse
power. The exist of the hulls at.d fittings of the 27 last-
mentioned steamers was estimated at £633,200, and the
cost of their engines at £280,800. This estimate includes
the three large paddle steamers ordered for a F:ench cora
pally, and which Messrs, Scott are building.

TIIE TIMBER RESOURCES OF CANADA.—The prin-
cipal descriptions of timber found in the forests of Canada
are—White, yellow, and red pine, white and black spruce,
tamarac, white, rim, and black ash ; grey, red, soft, and
rock elm; bird's-eye, white, and red oak; bird's-eye, curly,
and soft maple; black and grey walnut, smooth and rough
bark hickory, ironwood, red wild cherry, bass wood, beech,
red and white cedar, hemlock, fir poplar, chestnut, button
wood, and white wood. For furniture and ornamental pur-
poses the luxuriant beauties of our crotched, wavy, and
mottled black walnut are well known both here and in
Europe ; also the beauties of our bird's-eye and curly
maples, as well as of our curly birch, crotched white oak,
and red wild cherry. The superior qualities of our white,
red, and yellow pine are fully acknowledged in the markets
of Europe. Our oaks, elms, and tamarac rank high for
ship-building end general purposes. In fact, all our woods
are susceptible of being utilised in the arts and manufac-
tures. Canada exports annually about 30,000,000 cubic
feet of timber in a rough state, and about 400,000,000 feet,
board measure, of sawed lumber. The revenue derived by
the province during the year 1860 for timber cut in the
public forests amounted to about 500,000 dols, or £125,000
currency,--Cana (Van News,

FLOGGING IN TILE NAVY.—In the year 1860
flogging was inflicted in the navy 764 times, the total
m
r of men liable to cot poral punishment being 55,379;
in the year to 72 men. But in 1859
there was one flogging to 61 men, and in 1858 one to 48
men;nthuat
ibs e
so that there has been a very marked improvement
, one Hogg in g
yearby year. There are in the return for 1860 87 shire
with not a lash inflicted, which is nearly double the
number marked as exempt in the return for 1858, and 37
more than in 1859. The Phips in which men were Hogg, d
differ very greatly in the-proportion of punishments; in tw
instances in 1860 there were ten floggings and not 150 men.
In 1858 32,420 lashes were inflicted ; in 1859, 30,329 ; in
1860, 26,201. Drunkenness and insubordination are the
chief cause of these disgraceful punishments,

as regards all medium and inferior qualities the trade has

NORTH LONDON.

The report of the directors states that the gross
receipts for the half-year er ding the 31st of Decem-
ber last amounted to £86,964, and the expenditure
to £49,933, leaving a balance of £37,031. To this
was added the balance of £472 from the previous
half-year, making £37,503. The interest on the
debenture debt, amounting to £B,lOB being de-
ducted, the sum of £29,395 remained available for
dividend, which the directors recommend should be
at the rate of 51 per cent. per annum, leaving £524
for the current half-year. The increase in the re-
ceipts for passengers amounted to £660 ; for goods,
to £1,637 ; and for coals £l4B, together £2,445, as
compared with the corresponding half of 1860.
The directors, with a view of avoiding litigation,
have entered into an amicable arrangement with
the London and North-Western Company, under
which the proportion of the expenses arising out
of the lamentable accident on the Hampstead
Junction Railway on the 2d of September last to
be borne by the North London Company is fixed
at one-third of the whole amount. The London
and North Western Company have accepted the
proportion of the new preference share capital for
the City Branch to which they are entitled as pro-
prietors of North London Stock. The works on the
new branch are to be commenced as soon as possible.
The capital account shows that £1,445,106 had been
expended, leaving a balance of £13,838.

" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

CORN EXCHANGE.

About average supplies of wheat were on sale in the lead-
ing country markets held on Saturday. Selected samples
were mostly disposed of at full prices ; but inferior qualities
were rather cheaper. Barley, oats, beans, and peas had a
drooping tendency; but flour was tolerably firm in price.
The French markets generally have continued flat for all
kinds of produced. In America, however, the quotations
have ruled a shade higher. _ .

Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were moderate. From abroad we received 2,705 quarters
of wheat ; 3,781, barley ; 5,665, oats ; 480, beans ; 899,
peas ; 522, tares ; 1,600, linseed ; 140, sundry seeds; and
5,696 barrels of flour.

Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of wheat,
both from Essex and Kent, were very moderate, but a
slight improvement was observed in the general con-
dition of the samples. The trade, however, for all
qualities ruled inactive; nevertheless, compared with Mon-
day last. No quotable change took place in the currencies.
The show of samples of foreign wheat was moderate.
The amount of business transacted was small, yet prices
were quite supported.

Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, yet no
alteration took place in their value, compared with Monday
last.

The supply of barley was very moderate, yet the demand
for all descriptions raled inactive, at late rates.
Malt was dull, and the quotations had a downward
tendency.

For oats, the supply of which was limited, the demand
ruled steady, and prices were well supported.
Beans were in fair supply, and slow request at the late
decline in the quotations.

Peas were a dull inquiry, and prices were with difficulty
maintained. The show of samples was moderate.
In all kinds of flour sales progressed slowly, yet the
quotations were fairly supported.

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE.

The report of the directors states that the total
receipts on_ the railway amount for the year 1861,
to £309,514, and for 1860 to £320,948; showing a
decrease of £11,434. The receipts on the canal for
1861 amount to £110,835, and for 1860 to 1:137,582
showing a decrease of £26,747, making the total
decrease on the railway and canal for the past year
£38,181. Notwithstanding all causes of depression,
the profits admit of a return to the proprietors at
the rate of 3 per cent. per annum on their capital,
and leave a balance of £l,BlO. The traffic committee,
after a careful investigation, could not recommend
any Course by which the expenses of working could
be materially reduced. The renewals of the perma-
nent way were in active progress, and it would be
requisite to call up forthwith the remaining amount
due upon the shares, the first instalment of £1 per
share on the lst of May, and the remaining sum of
£1 Os. 4d. per share on the Ist of Jan., 1863. The
capital account showed that £4,235,195 had been
expended on the railway, and £1,170,000 on the
canal, together £5,405,195. The revenue for the
half-year on the railway amounted to £157,429, and
on the canal to £54,379 ; total £211,808. The
working and other expenses of the railway
amounted to £81,089, and of the canal to £24,642 ;
together £105,731, leaving a balance of £106,077.

of the iron trade. The balance for the half-year,
after :carrying £2,300 to the renewal and contin-
gency account, is £13,923, which enabled the di-
rectors to recommend a dividend on the original
shares of the company at the rate of 7 per cent. per
annum, and on the preference shares, according to
their respective guarantees. The amount expended
on eapital account is £555,000.

OUR POLICY IN REGARD TO AMERICA.

On the motion for going into committee of supply,
Mr. BRIGHT drew the attention of the house to the
course which had been adopted by the Government in refe-
rence to the Trent affair. He did not complain of the tine
of the communication of Earl Russell, but he dissented alto-
gether from the conduct which the Government had pursued.
concurrently by making a demonstration of military force.
According to the theories that had been propounded by the,
newspapers that were supr,osed to be the organs of Govern-
ment, Mr. Seward was desirous of engagir g Unitel
States in war with this country, but that was an absurdity,
because war could only be decided on in the United States
by consent of Congress. The hon. member then proceeded
at some length to criticise and censure the conduct of Go-
vernment in reference to the subject, and denied in the
strongest terms that there was any ground for the asser-
tion made in the English papers that the Government at
Washington w,-;.s under mob influence.
Mr. BAXTER defended the Gcvernment.
Lord PALMERSI ON, in a speech that was warmly
applauded, vindicated tile conduct of the Government, and
contended that the attitude which it had assumed had been
the means of bringing the difforence with the Uniied States
to an early and satisfactory conclusion.

BOROUGH HOP.

For good and fine hops the market continues to exhibit
a moderate amount of firmness, but so little business is
passing in inferior qualities that for these prices must be
considered, in a great measure, nominal. Last week's im-
