CORN EXCHANGE.

The show of samples of English wheat hero to••day was
much restricted. Dry parcels were in moderato request,
at Monday's currency; otherwise the English wheat trade
was in a sluggish state, at previous quotations.
We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat. Good and
fine qualities wero in fair consumptive demand, at full
prices, but inferior descriptions meet a dull inquiry, on for-
mer terms.

In floating cargoes of grain only a moderate business was
transacted, at late rates.
•• _ _ _

Malting barley was quite as dear as on Monday, but
grinding and distilling sorts moved off heavily at about
that day's prices.

About an average business was passing in malt, and
prices were fairly supported.

Good and fine oats changed hands steadily at full quota-
tions, but inferior corn was much neglected.
Beaus and peas were in slow request, at previotis rates.
Barrel flour was disposed of slo,kly at the late reduction
in its value. Town-made qualities, as well as country
marks, commanded but little attention.

TILE WRECK OF THE MARS STEAMER.
•

The Western Daily Press, speaking of the unfor-
tunate steam-ship Mars, the wreck of which, with
the loss of 50 lives, we announced in ?lie Sun of
yesterday, says :—" The captain's name is Blinman,
the mate's Marshall, and these and several of the
crew were Pill men. The news created the deepest
anxiety at Pill. The steamer was the property of
the Waterford Steam Navigation Company. She
was of 100 horse power, was of the largest class of
steamers,and drew more water than any, other steam
vessel from the port of Bristol. The Mars was the
favourite boat between Waterford and Liver-
pool for many years, and finally took the place of
the Camilla between. Bristol and Waterford. It
is not known how'many of the crew have been
saved. A telegram, dated Milford, Wednesday
evening, says :—" No further important particulars
have yet been obtained. The men saved have gone
on to Pembroke Dock. The Mars was bound to
Bristol. Portions of the wreck are coming into
Freshwater West. The exact number of lives lost
is uneertain.

A curious case came before the Galway magis-
trates'on Monday. A girl of the town robbed a small farmer
of £B6. There were four £2O notes. It is alleged that a
merchant gave £6O in sovereigns for the £BO in notes, but
this is yet to be proved. The 60 sovereigns, however, were
restored through the confessional. The Rev. Mr. Kearney
was examined and refused to say from whom he got the
money, as it was in the confessional he got it, though it
might be six months after the confession when he actually
received it. The Bench decided that he was not bound to
answer tho attorney for the prosecution, and the case was
adjourned in order to allow time for making the merchant
amenable. •

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.--Among the "prime
dome enumerated in our notice of yesterday, as engaged
for the ensuing season at her Majesty's Theatre, should be
included the sisters Carlotta and Barbara Marchisio, who,
with Mademoiselle Louise Eiehal, the Swedish singer, have
been added since the first edition of the “prOspectus." This
makes Mr. Mapleson's company remarkably strong in the
ladies' department.

COURT OF COM,IfON COUNCIL.

The Court met yesterday, inhe Council Cham-
ber at Guildhall, the Right Eton, the Lord Mayor
in the chair.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.
Mr. SNELLING asked the Lord Mayor whether
he could give the Court any information relative
to the opening of the International Exhibition, and
whether the members of the Court were to take any
part in it, or to bo invited to be present on the
occasion.

The LORD MAYOR said he had been in communi-
cation with one of the commissioners, and he under-
stood that arrangements were to be made for the
invitation of all the aldermen of the City and their
ladies, and forty members of that Court and their
ladies.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. _ _ _

" The Use and the Abuse of the Turkish Bath.—A very
useful pamphlet has been published by Dr. Culverwell, the
proprietor of the Turkish Baths in the neighbourhood of the
Post-office, which presents to the uninitiated a mass of inte-
resting information, while those who have already encouraged
this new system will derive additional advantage if they
observe some of the practical regulations which the writer
endeavours to enforce."—Herald and Standard, N0v.12, 1861.
" The Post-office Turkish Baths, 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand.
—Dr. Culvcrwell has already established the reputation of
an able physician; he has now proved himself to be a worthy
philanthropist. in as far as he has established, in the heart
of the City, an institution that more nearly than any disco-
very of modern days, goes nearer the abolition of the practice
of physic, than any proposition or invention yet established,
the Turkish Bath. . . Our object being merely to direct
the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess
one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand,
which the country can produce; perfect in all Its appliances,
and most admirable in effect. Dr. Culverwell has fitted up
his baths with a degree of elegance, luxury, and refinement,
which, considering the space at his disposal, is truly sur-
prising, while everything that taste or delicacy could desire
has been obtained to add to the comfort and luxury of the
visitor. . . We may justly say that If a man ever feels
himself regenerated and new made, it is oncoming outEof a
Turkish Bath."—Era, 0ct.13, 1861.

ITALY.

A Turin letter in the Moniteur says ;—" M.
Pepoli, Minister of Commerce, whose election at
Bologna had been annulled, owing to an insufficient
number of votes, has since been returned by 394
votes out of a total of 409. A bill is shortly to be
submitted to the Chamber of Deputies to regulate
the organisation of the provincial and communal
institutions. That measure, which is of great im-
portance for Italy, appears likely to give rise to a
long debate, as forty members have already in-
scribed their names to speak for, against, or on the
bill, as proposed by the committee. It may be remem-
bered that, on the occasion of the meeting of the com-
mittees, M. Ratazzi promised that a bill should be in-
troduced to regulate the right of association. A Turin
journal now states that the bill is under the con-
sideration of the Council of State, and will be sub-
mitted to the Chamber before the middle of the
present month, about which time it is expected the
Parliament will be prorogued."

Another letter from Turin in the Nord has the
following :
" Count Pasolini de Ravenne, Prefect of Milan,
has withdrawn his resignation, and now replaws
the Marquis d'Adda in the Prefecture of Turin.
The count is the intimate friend of M. Minghetti,
and his resolution not to quit the administration
in spite of the presence of the Ratazzi Ministry,
proves that the hope of a reconciliation between
the old majority and the new Cabinet is not lost
either on the part of M. Minghetti or on that of
M. Ratazzi. Count Pasolini will serve as the bond
of union, for otherwise the acceptance of the post
at Turin, which is much less important than that
at Milan, would have no meaning. The Marquis
de Villamarina, who was Minister at Florence, at
Paris, and at Naples, is talked of for the Prefecture
at Milan. General Garibaldi, who is suffering from
the gout, has been obliged to stop at the villa of his
friend Pallavicino, at St. Fiorano, in Lombardy,
It is even hoped that he will afterwards return, for
his excursion to the confines of Austria might give
rise to inconveniences which must be avoided.

"New York, March 11.

"My dear Sargent,--I accept with great pleasure
your congratulations, and assure you that every
exertion will be made on my part to furnish the
nation with war vessels that will enable us to defy
Europe. Give me only the requisite means, and in
a very short time we can say to those Powers, now
bent on destroying Republican freedom, ' Leave the
Gulf with your frail craft, or perish !' I have all my
life asserted that mechanical science will put an end
to the power of England over the seas. The ocean
is Nature's highway between the nations. It should
be free; and surely Nature's laws, when properly
applied, will make it so. . . .

nN TILE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
V 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 StiigiOn 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 haw 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. Byhis 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 fourd in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular.

THE THAMES ZMBANKMENT.

Sir JOHN SHELLEY, in moving for a return of the
estimated expenditure to carry into effect the provisions
of the Thames Embankment Bill, distinguishing the cost
lof the filling-in and the masonry of the embankment, the
gross amount of the compensation for wharfage and river
frontage, the cost of each approach to the embankment,
and of each of the other streets and improvements men-
tioned in the bill, including compensation and all other
'expenses; also the cost of the low levei sewer, the length
,of the embankment and of each street, together with a plan
of the embankment, streets, and improvements, said that
he understood the return was to be oltected to, but he
:could not understand the reason why. He thought
the amount of the expenditure for the embankment oughtto
be stated to the house, and also the various items connected
with the undertaking. He believed the scheme would not
be carried out for a million and a half.
Mr. CRAWFORD seconded the motion.

Mr. COWPER said the information required by the hon.
member was already before the house, and as the bill, which
was to be read a second time on Monday, would have to go
befor.) two committees, who would inquire into all details
connected with the undertaking, this was all that was ne-
cessary. He objected to produce the return. •
After a few remarks from Mr. Cox. and Mr. Ay wrosf,
the house was coanted, and there not being 40 members pre-
sent, the house adjourned at a quarter past two o'clock.

Case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.

THE HENDON TRAGEDY.

Upon inquiries at the Middlesex Hospital yes-
terday afternoon, the reporter ascertained from Mr.
Marshall, the house surgeon, that the wretched
young man, James Lawrence, the alleged murderer
of Anne Cox; and the attempted murderer of him-
self at Mill-hill, Hendon, on the morning of Satur-
day last, was progressing favourably, notwithstand-
ing the unusally extensive injuries sustained, which
renders his case a remarkable one. Mr. Marshall
stated that he was admitted to the hospital shortly
after the'dreadful occurrence with a compound com-
minuted fracture of the upper and lower jaws, to
such an extent that they were literally smashed to
pieces, the tongue much lacerated and cat up, the
pallet bones broken, a portion of the base of the
skull smashed, all the side of one cheek blown open,
and in fact the whole of that side of the face shat-
tered, and suffering from severe collapse, from
which however be was soon recovered, and his pro-
gress had been remarkably favourable ever since.
At present there appears to be every probability
that he will entirely recover, but this is only an as-
sumption, inasmuch as there is a long course of dis-
charge to go on yet before he can be pronouneed
out of danger. He is perfectly sensible, and up to
the present time has evinced an anxiety to recover,
and persists iaa statement to the effect that Anne
Cox shot herself in his presence, which so distressed
him that be shot himself immediately afterwards.
Mr. Marshall, however, thinks it impossible that he
could have shot himself before shooting the girl, as
was stated in some of the journals on Monday last,
but that he must have.shot himself last. Although
inclined to be tolerably communicative, no one is
allowed to speak to the unfortunate man more than
is absolutely necessary, it being of the utmost im-
portance he should now be kept as quiet as possible.

slight extent. Refined qualities have shown no change of
importance.
COFFEE.—OnIy a moderate business has been recorded,
but high prices aro demanded for good and fine qualities of

request at steady rates.

Her Majesty's relations with all the European
Powers continue to be friendly and satisfactory ;
and her Majesty trusts there is no reason to appre-
hend any disturbance of the Peace of Europe.
A question of great importance, and which might
have led to very serious consequences, arose be-
tween her Majesty and the Government of the
United States of North America, owing to the
seizure and forcible removal of four passengers from
on board a British mail-packet by the commander
of a ship of war of the United States; but that
question has been satisfactorily settled by the resto-
ration of the passengers to British protection, and
by the disavowal by the United States Govern-
ment of the act of violence committed by their
naval officer.

The friendly relations between her Majesty and
the President of the United States have therefore

remained unimpaired.

Her Majesty warmly appreciates the loyalty and
patriotic spirit which have been manifested on this
occasion by her North American subjects.
The wrongs committed by various parties and
by successive Governments in Mexico upon fo-
reigners resident within the Mexican territory, and
for which no satisfactory redress could be obtained,
have led to the conclusion of a Convection between
her Majesty, the Emperor of the French, and the
Queen of Spain, for the purpose of regulating a
combined operation on the coast of Mexico, with a
view to obtain that redress which has hitherto been
withheld.

That Convention, and papers relating to that
subject, will be laid before you.

The official despatch confirming the Kentucky
victory is brief, containing no more information
than is already known to the public.
On the 20th Ex-Secretary Cameron held a mili-
tary levee, and delivered the following address :
" Gentlemen,—l am deeply sensible of the honour
you have done me by your presence on this occa-
sion. We have been associated together in a
great work. I have had the army grow up
under my hands, from one of small propor-
tions to. be. nne of the _greatest establishments
in the world. I have laboured to make it worthy
of the country and the cause we were defending.
In the discharge of my duty, where such vast in-
terests were concerned, so much feeling enlisted, I
have doubtless in some cases given offence. In cases
still fewer 1 may have felt offences given—but they
are so few, so slight, that I cannot now remember
one. I dismiss all thought of them. Of all these
officers present, there is scarcely one that I have not
appointed—scarcely one without my name to his
commission. I allude to the fact only to assure you
how deep the interest I must feel in you. At all
times in life, and wherever I may be, I shall cherish
the most earnest wishes for your welfare and suc-
cess, for the glory of, our arms, and for the pros-
perity of the country. '
