CAN STRICTURES of the URETHRA,
however protracted, be SPEEDILY and PERMA-
NENTLY CURED? Answered in a PRACTICAL TREA-
TISE on that Disease, wherein is recommended an improved
method of treatment, its efficacy being illustrated by numerous
highly interesting and important cases, in some of which Strictures
of from thirty to forty years' duration have been totally removed in
a few weeks, and its superiority thereby fully established over every
other mode of treatment hitherto adopted.

R. GEORGE ROBINS is authorised to
SELL by AUCTION, at the Old Ship, Brighton, on
TUESDAY, Aug. 7, the day before the Brighton Races, in several
Lots, the elegant
FREEHOLD MARINE VILLA RESIDENCE,
the property of
ADMIRAL SIR EDWARD CODRINGTON, &G. CM
This Residence was always accounted one of the leading features_
of Brighton, and, by the aid of good taste and a vast outlay of
money, it claims now a distinguished place in public opinion. It
is adorned bye. stone colonnade, with classic pillars,'opening to the
lawn and shrubbery grounds. The grand entree is through the ele-
gant conservatory, which leads to all the principal rooms. It is not
intended to enter into a detail of all the qualifications within, in the
expectation that a bidder will prefer to see it. It may, however,
be well to observe that there are eleven bed chambers, making up
altogether 23 beds ; the rooms are well
proportioned, and there is
nip lack of family comfort throughout. The:court-yard encloses
some of the best stabling in Brighton, standing for three carriages;
seven capital roomy stalls, all fitted tip in a novel manner. The
villa is sufficiently removed from the sea to avoid the ineonvenience
and partake of the shelter afforded by the little town which fills up
the intermediate space, and the sea views are not unpleasantly im-
peded. Also, in Lots,
SEVEN UNIFORM LITTLE VILLAS,
built in a most substantial and expensive manner. The Brighton
builders may safely adopt the architectural taste that is so conspi-
euous• These abodes are full of comfort, and retiring tradespeople
may resort here and live in clover, and at a moderate rent.
Likewise a distinguished FREEHOLD RESIDENCE ; it is
No. 12, in the centre of

BRUNSWICK-TERR 4CE,
and one of those which claims precedence over some of its neigh-
bours, with the appropriate FURNITERE, if desired.
Also a SMALL VILLA with OFFICES and FIVE ACRES of
MARKET GARDEN GROUND, at PORTSLADE, on the
ROAD to SHOREHAM.
Mr. Robins very earnestly recommends these properties to public
attention. Can be viewed and particulars had at all the libraries;
the Old Ship and Club House; and at Mr. George Robins's offices,
London.

NORTHERA CIRCUIT—NEweJsmr, JuLr 26

The Commissions for tl,e town and county were opened here
yesterday by Mr. Baron ALDERSON. The calendar is light in
the number as well as the nature of the offences, there beinr,
tut nine prisoners in the town, and ten in the county. Of
these, the most serious case was a manslaughter, to which the
prisoner, Russell Cunningham, pleaded guilty, and in which
the death of the party was, it appeared, caused by his being
pushed over the hatchway of a vessel in the course of a
drunken quarrel. A case also against William Sadler, stated
in the calendar as a cutting and maiming, was finally reduced
to a common assault, to which he pleaded guilty The light
state of the calendar was a subject of congratulation by his
Lordship to both the city and Grand Juries. On the Civil
side there are sixteen causes entered for trial, twelve in the
county, and four in the town.

BOWI,BY V. HERNAMAN.

This was an indictment on the prosecution of Mr. Russell
Bowiby against Mr. John Hernaman, cdit6r and proprietor of
the Newcastle Journal, for a libel. The libel in question was
the subject of an application to the Court of Queen's Bench
for a criminal information, which was refused ; and it charged
Mr. Bowiby witch being an Atheist, a person without a God.
After a considerable delay, during which the Counsel on
both sides were in consultation,

Mr. STARKIE, for the prosecution, rose and said that he
thought it would not be necessary to trouble his Lordship or
the Jury with the further consideration of the case, as he un-
derstood the Counsel on the other side were instructed to
retract the imputation against Mr. Bowlby.
Mr. DUNDAS then rose and said—On the part of Mr. Her-
naman, who is the editor of this paper, I have no hesitation in
saying that he regrets extremely the paragraph in question
had found its way into the paper at all. And I have also to
add this, that as the words reflect upon Mr. Bowlby's religious
character, he admits that Mr. Bowlby is not an Atheist, but
that he has believed, and does believe, in the existence of a
Supreme Being, in whom he trusts and to whom he looks up
with reverence.

Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I trust Mr. Bowlby will see the
necessity of going much further than the entertaining a bare
belief in the existence of a Supreme Being.
Mr. STARKIE—My Lord, in the publication in question
there was a certain specific imputation against Mr. Ilowlby.
It is that imputation which has now been retracted, and we did
not think we could ask more.

Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Of course. lam glad the imputa-
tion has been retracted. It was a very serious one to make
against any man.
Friday morning Mr. Justice Williams finished the business
in the town. Three unimportant cases were disposed of.

DAVIDSON AND ANOTHER V. THE NORTH AND SOUTH SHIELDS

FERRY COMPANY.

This was an action to recover 671. 12s. Gd., the amuunt of
damages sustained by a steambooat called the Hero belonging
to the plaintiffs, in consequence of a collision with the
steamer usod by the defendant at their ferry.
After the usual contradictory evidence in these cases a ver-
dict was finally returned for the plaintiff.
A verdict for 171. 16s. 10d. was subsequently given in
another action between the same parties for an injury sustained
by another steamer, the Superb, from a similar collision with
the Steam Ferry.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of all kinds of English Grain still continues moderate
Of Oats from Ireland the quantity is good, and of damaged Wheat very
large. In the past week, Wheat showed some indication of further im-
provement, but other articles remained as previously stated. The fresh
supplies of the morning consist chiefly of very moderate quantities of all
sorts of Corn. The weather being unsettled, caused the factors to de-
matal considerably higher prices for Wheat; and the millers being
somewhat inclined to purchase, the best quality obtained a further ad-
vance of 2s. per quarter on the terms of this day se'ennight, and other
descriptions also realized more money. In Barley, Beans, and Pease,
there has been a firm trade, and last quotations have been well main.
tained. There being few sweet parcels of Oats at Market, such have
obtained rather higher terms; the other qualities, being chiefly Irish,
have sold slowly at the rates of last Monday. The Flour trade is tole.
rably free, and prices firmly supported.

THE NEW CLASSICAL ROMANCE.
Now ready, in vols. post Svo. price 155.,
LETTERS FROM PALMYRA,
By LUCIUS MANLIUS PISO,
To his Friend,-
MARCUS CURTIUS, at ROME.

, " This new romance will be accepiabletot; many readers
who took delight in ' Valerius," Salathiel,' and the Lan Days
of Pompeii.' "--Athenwarn.
" The war of Aurelian, which terminated in the captivity of the
famous Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra, and the destruction of that
splendid city, forms the staple of this interesting and instructive
picture of Roman, Palmyrene, and Persian manners."—Literary
Gazette.

" These ' Letters' remain in my mind, after repeated readings,
as a work of 'lofty and tender beauty. Zenobia, Longinus, and a
long perspective of characters, live and move, in natural majesty :
and the beauties of description and sentiment appear to me as re-
markable as the strong conception of character and of the age."—

HOP MARKET.

No certain price can now be quoted for Hops, such is the state of the
market, but prices are giving way. The accounts from the hop grounds
continue favourable for the plant, and the duty is estimated at 180,000/.

BERMONDSEY WATER-SIDE POTATOE MARKET.

Supplies to.day were to a fair extent, but trade is very languid, and
prices, where altered, are lower.

SEED MARKET,

Canary Seed much sought after, and a further advance of about
ss. took per qr. place. In other kinds of Seed not much doing, and
prices unvaried.

COLONIAL MARKETS.

A fair business is advertized for the week ; but the orders for export
are small. For to-morrow we have public vales of Coff.e—St. Do-
mingo, 1,200 bags; Ceylon, 1,500 bags, Gd. per lb. duty; British
Plantation, 42 casks ; Sugar, 130 casks Barbadoes ; Brazil, 34 chests,
24 barrels ; 'Trinidad, 100 hhds. ; Molasses, 108 casks; Cocoa, 100
barrels Trinidad. Same Ginger and Pimento, Prices, we may say, for
all East and Vest India produce, except Coffee, lower than they were at
this time last year. The business for consumption is steady, and ap,
pears likely to be so, but it is chiefly done at public sale.

SOCIETY.-(THIS DAY.)

The Anniversary Meeting of this Society was held this day at Exeter
Hall, But instead of a report of the proceedings (which it was our in-
tclithsts to furnish), we can simply give the reason why no such report
appears. On our reporter applying for admission at the door, he was
told by two individuals with long white sticks in their hands, that no
reporter, nor anybody else, could be admitted without a ticket; and en
his replying that no ticket had been given, the answer was, that ticked
had been sent to all the Papers who were "expected" to send
reporters. A letter was immediately dispatched to the Secretary,
and one of the " White Wands" was requested to forward it to
that gentleman. He took it with the implied intention of so doing;
taut soon re' urned with it (unopened) in his hand, and said, in the'!'
authoritative tones which sufficiently displayed a due sense of the high
power and great responsibility of his station, " We pay our own J
porters—none others arc required." As the letter of the Editor 'O4
slot suffered to reacts the Secretary, it would not be fair to charge the
exclusion of the Press upon him ; the only remark we will venture is,
that it appears unwise to invest with the dignity of " a
stick" persons who nso misunderstand their position as to presuni_
to intercept a letter adWssed to the Secretary of a great and important
Society, and take upon themS: i.e lves to exclude from a public meeting te_
Reporters of the Press—thus, at least, affording some ground to l
uncharitable of concluding that they " s:,rink from the light, because
their deeds—if not evil—require the protecuon of obscurity."

CORN LAWS.

Polies of corn and timber), that which tilndurnns the people
to pay more for their food than Is paid by the inhabitants
of other countries, must be swept
away at the very first
occurrence of an unfavourable harvest." There is another
agent,
e however, at work, which in il short time will open
tlyes even of the landed proprietors, and compel the
Legislature to repeal the Corn-laws without the interven-
tion of a bad harvest. What machinery here, while the
Corn-laws exist, can compete with machinery abroad, that

Saxony has increased immensely of late, and from its
cheapness has not only secured the monopoly of the
111,8,1'kets afforded throughout the Union, but has also been

ANTI-SLAVERY MEETING AT

squared with lii principles in indulging in those diatribes against hi°
Honourable Friend. The Honourable Gentlemen seemed to doubt the
r
accuracy of the charges of his (Mr. Goulburn's) Honourable Friend;
did the Right Hon. Gentleman remember the speech of the Noble 1,

who had preceded him ?
That Noble Lord had full admitted the OW-

Gentleman had indulged in another tirade against the accuracy of n's
(Mr, Goulburn's) Honourable Friend's information respecting ire"
land, because he had admitted that he only staved in that country a few
weeks, and that he was, therefore, but a casual visitor. But with what
grace the Right Hon. Gentleman make such an objection, when
Ito recollected that the great measure upon which he his colleagues
grounded their hopes of the pacification of Ireland was founded upon
the report of an individual, Mr. Nicholls, a perfect s

country, and who only made au entire stay of about six weeks then

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY

[Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Justice Vaughan and a Common Jury.
WILKINS V. KENNEDY.

In this cause, which arose out of the Church.ratc warfare id St.
Pancras, the plaintiff was the broker employed by the defendant, the
collector of the rates, in August last, to destrain the goods of the
recusants. The action was brought to recover from the defendant,
the fees and costs of the plaintiff in performing the duty. The defence
was that the defendant had not agreed to pay the sum demanded, and
that the demand was fraudulent. Witnesses employed by the plaintiff
proved that the duty had been performed—that porters had been em-
ployed as stated in the declaration—and also constables to protect them
from the mob.

In stating the defendants case Sir F. Pollock put in an account book
admitted to be plaintiffs handwriting, and in which there appeared
charged against the defendant only 31. lOs , instead of 12/. Ps., the
present demand. From this the Learned Counsel contended that the wit-
nesses were perjured.

Several of the Jurors intimated that they were not prepared to be_
lieve that.

Mr. Perkins Body, clerk to the Trustees of the parish of St Pancras
Church, stated that the plaintiffs presented the account on which the pre-
sent action was brought, to the trustees, by whom he was told he should
be paid as soon as his account was audited. The object of this was to
show that the action was improperly brought against Kennedy. The
witness told plaintiff that the charge of 7s. 6d. a day was exorbitant. It
was not usual to pay the broker anything for his own days.
Mr. Justice IrstsonsN— I think it snore exorbitant not to pay any-
thing —(Laughter.)

Mr. Sergeant STORKS—And when the whole parish was up in arms
against the rate ?—(A laugh.)
Mr. Thiselton, one of the tax collectors in St. Pancras. stated that he
never paid anything to a broker per day, but that the broker was paid
by the parties on whom the levy was made, a sum regulated by the Act
of Parliament.

Other witnesses to the same effect—one of whom admitted that he
had employed plaintiff; and had sanctioned his making charges similar
to those made in the present case, and that brokers in St. Pancras had
refused to go into certain districts without extra payment.
The Jury having deliberated a short time, returned a verdict, in the
whole amount, for the plaintiff:

OIL MARKET.

117 casks Palm Oil put up to public sale were all bought in. Owing,
to Tallow, the price of Palm Oil has been nominal for some time. Fish
Oils are dull, but not lower. These remarks apply also to Seed Oils.

COLONIAL MARKETS.
B. P. Sugar sells steadily at previous rates, but is no dearer than it
was last Friday. The stock now is 12,122 hhds. and trs., which is 5,601
more than it was at this time last year. To-day we have no public sales
of Sugar or Coffee, and the unclean sorts of B. P. Coffee must be quoted
lower than they had been. The stock of B. P. Coffee is 1,045 casks and
983 brls. and bags ; Ceylon 9,499 bags ; Mocha 3,660 bales; Brazil
35,927 bags. The Cinnamon sale is over, and prices on an average
from 3d. to 6d. per lb. higher than those of last sale. Other kinds of
Spices are flat, but not lower. Refined Sugar is held for 345. for fine
crushed. Saltpetre is dull,
For tomorrow our public sales arc chiefly drugs, indeed we may say
wholly so. We may expect some large imports very shortly of all de-
scriptions of goods besides Colonial.

We are warranted in saying, that there is more business doing in Co-
lonial produce now, than there has been for some time.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, Mar 1.
Since this day week we have experienced easterly winds. The ar-
rivals of Oatmeal and Flour were large during the above period, but
with Grain of all sorts we are only moderately supplied. There was a
very steady demand for Wheat at this day's Market, and prime sam-
ples were sold at an improvement of 3d. on the currency of Tuesday
last. Flour also sold readily, and was fully 2s. per sack dearer. Oats
and Oatmeal likewise moved off freely, the latter at 3s. per 240 lbs.,
and the former at Is. per 45 lbs. advance on the rates of this day week.
Beans and Peas met a tolerable inquiry at somewhat higher prices, and
Irish Grinding Barley being very scarce, was in good request.

SPORTING INTELLIGEN CE.

NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING.
Wednesday Night.
The sport this afternoon was short and uninteresting, moreover
each was so badly contested as scarcely to require any particulars in
addition to those sent from the Heath. In the first, Quicksilver
made strong running till near the Duke's Stand, where Scamandar
took it up, increased his lead at every stride he took, had time to
run out as he entered the cords, and afterwards won by six lengths.
Combat was beaten a long way from home.
The second race was just as hollow a thing. Pocket Hercules
would not run a yard, and suffered Fifer to win by six lengths.
The Handicap, without being a good race, was something better.
Streamlet made the play, followed by Rogers's filly till near the
T. Y. C. post, where the latter went to her side, took up the running
immediately after, and won by a length.
The weather was fine and warm, but the company thin. We
could not have expected otherwise with so unattractive a list.
The match between Bamboo and Grey Momus for Friday excites
considerable interest, the Grey being the favourite at 2 to 1.
For the 1,000 Guineas Stakes (to-morrow) the odds are as fol-
lows:--

11 to 8 agst Lord Jersey's Glenara
7 to 2 agst Lord Exeter's two, Mecca and Romania
4 to 1 agst Mr. Osbaldeston's The Fairy Queen
4 to 1 agst Lord Albemarle's Barcarolle
THE DERBY.

The match for Friday has given a check to the betting on this
stake :9to 2 was offered against the Grey in vain—no one attempted
to back him. Phoenix rose a point, but business altogether was
excessively flat. The following were the prices :-
9 to 2 agst Lord G. Bentinck's Grey Momus
6 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Phoenix
12 to 1 agst Mr. Armitage's Nonplus colt
25 to I agst Lord Chesterfield's Bretby
30 to 1 agst Lord Westminster's Richard Roe—taken
3 to 1 agst 11Ir. Scott's lot
Nothing done on the Oaks.
Previous to the races, Phosphorus, winner of the last Derby, was
put up for sale, and bought in at 900 guineas. Anchorite, Davie
Gellatley, Gonfalon, William Tell, and some others, were also
bought in. Spartacus fetched 31 guineas. Scroggins is sold to go
abroad.
