THE STATE OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mild he
trusted the noble lord the member for Tiverton would not
bring forward this evening the motion of which he had
given notice with reference to the state of foreign affairs,
or make theme ebmetYetießm 911 tiw oubjeet whielt lie stated
it was his intefttion to do last evening. Ifd editla tiMite

the noble lord that it would be most inconvenient to the
public interest to
.bring forward this evening the question
of the relation of this colititty with foreign Powers. It was
his intention, on Monday or Tuesday avening tint, to
make a complete statement of the position in which this
country was placed with regard to any negotiations that
were pending. That course would enable the noble lord
to make those observations on the question, to which the
house no doubt would listen with great pleasure,
Lorn PALMERSTON said it was impossible for him
not to comply with the request of the right hon. gentleman,
and his (Lord Palmerston's) object was merely that the
public might be put in possession of the position in which
this country at present stood with regard to foreign powers.
(Hear, hear,) At all events the course pursued by the
right hon. gentleman would giPe him and other hon. mem-
bers an opportunity of making some observations
(Laughter.)

Lord J. RUSSELL hoped that the right hon. gentleman
(the Chancellor of the Exchequer) would bring the subject
forward th the form of a motion, so that hen, members
would have an opportunity of making some remarks.

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA; showing why they so often appear in-
curable, 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 manag,ement
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 found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

BELGIUM.

The budget of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
Belgium for 1860 has just been distributed to the
representatives. It amounts to 2,595,002 E, being
34,040 f. less than the preceding one. Amongst
other things, it proposes an increase of from 6,000 f.
to 10,000 f. in the salary of the consul-general of the
western &last of Africa, and intimates that that
increase is scarcely sufficient, seeing that living is
not only excessively dear there, but that the con-
sul's jurisdiction is very extensive, comprising all
Senegambia, the adjacent islands, and Morocco.
An increase of 2,000 f. is also proposed for the con-
sul-general at Athens, and a like augmentation for
the consul at Beyrout. In the Ministry of Marine,
various sums are require& for repairs to steamers,
and among them is one of 150,000 f. for repairing

THEATRICAL THUNDER.—The following anecdote
is current in musical circles :—lt is known with what itn-
patience the public awaited the first representation of the
" Pardon de Ploermel," but the first performance was de-
layed by a singular caprice of the composer. At ono of the
most dramatic periods of the work a violent storm bursts
forth, and is, of course, accompanied by thunder. The

manner in which the Opera-Comique represented the stoma
did not satisfy Meyerbeer, and he wandered about listening
to every noise that was made in the hope of hearing some-
thing that came up more closely to his idea of a thunder
peal. At last one morning, in passing before a house in
course of demolition, the falling of the stones and mortar
to the ground, through a long :wooden trough, gave pre-
cisely the sound which he wanted. He hastened to the
theatre, and ordered a long square funnel to be made of
boards, and sent down through it a quantity of stonce.
" The sound is too hard," said the composer, "we must
have smooth lead or iron. Grape shot would do admira-
ably." " But it is impossible to obtain them," said the
manager, "without permission from the Government."
Meyerbeer replied that he would undertake to procure
them, and he wrote the same day to Marshal Valliant,
Minister of War, on the subject. The Marshal is said to
have been much' amused at the letter, and to have replied
that all the stores of 'Vincennes were placed at the coin
poser's disposal. - The shot thus obtained produces, when
rolled down the wooden trough, the thunder which is now
heard each night the piece is performed,

TEA.—The market continues rather inactive, but prices
are well maintained, common - congou being quoted lnd
per lb.

SUGAR--A steady business has been done in British
West India, and late rates have in all instances been well
maintained. Foreign qualities were in fair request, and sold
readily at former rates. In the Refined Market the busi-
ness transacted has been of a rather moderate character, at
about previous values.
COFFEE.—The supplies of plantation Ceylon aro still
very limited, and prices are high. Native Ceylon met a
good demand, and sold for full rates, and some superior
qualities of Jamaica brought extreme rates.
RICE.—The market has been rather more active, and fine
white Bengal sold for full rates.
Rum.--The demand for fine qualities of Jamaica has
been active, and previous rates are fully maintained.
SALTPETRE.—The market continues very quiet, and
prices are unaltered.
TALLow.—The market during the last ifew days has
exhibited symptoms of heaviness, and prices have a down-
ward tendency. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 535, and
last three months 53s 9d per cwt.

DISTRICTS)

Lord CLARENDON, moved the third reading of this
bill. _ _

Ix Lord LYNDHURST said he had great objections
to the bill. He thought at the present moment it
was utterly unnecessary to introdnce enactments in
defence of the people against arbitrary government.
Political prosecutions for political offences were now nearly
unknown, so the complaints upon which the present bill
was grounded were almost groundless. He had, however,
lived in a time when Government was carried on not only
in an arbitrary but a tyrannical system, and when political
prosecutions were matters of daily occurrence, so he was
fully able to appreciate the advantages which prevailed
at the present day, compared with the time of which he
had spoken. To bear out his views, the noble and learned
lord quoted some passages from " Blackstone's Com-
mentaries," and he proceeded to remark that it was
laid down as a maxizn of the English law, that no
man could be put upon his trial unless a bill had
been found against him by•
a grand jury, and -then
he could not be punished unle.s he was found guilty,
by twelve of his countrymen. Sue.: a provision he con-
tended afforded support and protectio..:, to all persons.
(Hear, hear.) He was exceedingly sorry to find that the
first innovation on the great principle of trial to ;Jury was
ventured upon by her Majesty's present Governme:,',, and
although he entertained the highest respect for the n 6.410
lord who now sat on the woolsack, he thought the pro-
visions of this bill would more then likely be strained
to arbitrary and tyrannical purposes. Now, then,
their lordships knew that no peer could be tried at their
lordships bar until it bill had been found against him by a
grand jury, butsippose the bill was an-breed to and went to
the House st'Oommons, what would they say to the mea-
sure ? Why, that this house agreed to a measure to abolish
the necessity of a grand jury, so far as the Commons was
concerned, but which had taken care to exempt ourselves
from its provisions. (Hear, hear.) The noble and learned
lord then referred to the inconvenience, as it had been
called by the supporters of the measure, of the great num-
ber of persons compelled to be in attendance during the
sitting of the grand jury, but he contended
all that was occasioned by non-consideration, and
he for one could not say that was sufficient
to cause such an important alteration in the laws of Eng •
land. Then again, expense had been referred to, but he
thought this circumstance was inefficient as the former for
the changes that would take place if this bill became law.
Ho cautioned his noble friend that if this bill passed,
the change would not remain where it was present pro-
posed, but the counties would endeavour to get rid of their
grand juries.

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA; showing why they so often appear In-
curable, when in reality they might be removed by the most
simple means.

By F. B. COURTENAY, ➢i.R C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for tho
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
lands 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 valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Cirou,lar, Dec. Ist, 1858.

Wheat was only in moderate demand at the rates of this
day se'nnight. No disposition to buy flour, and as holders
did not press sales we merely repeat previous.quotations.
Other articles sold slowly without change in prices.

We continue to be fairly supplied with wheat ; there is
no great activity in the trade, but a dull business passing
at late rates. No change is made in the price of beans.
More doing in oats and peas. Barley in retail demand, in

FRANCE.

PARIS, THURSDAY.
The Conference was opened to-day at one o'clock,
at the Hotel of Foreign Affairs. Its attention will
be directed to the question of the election of Colonel
Couza by both of the Principalities. In this first
sitting, M. Musurus, the Ottoman Plenipotentiary,
it is supposed, will set forth the reasons which have
induced the Sultan to submit this question to the
Conference. It is thought that the discussion will
take place to-morrow, and that the protocol will be
signed on Saturday. The French consular agents
in the Selavonia provinces of the Ottoman empire
paint in gloomy colours the agitation which goes
on increasing in Bulgaria, Bosnia, and the Herze-
govina. Fresh outbreaks are represented as being
imminent. The Turkish governors demand rein-
forcements of troops, but the Porte 'cannot send
them.

The naval division under the command of Admiral
Jehenne, composed of the screw ships of the line
Donawerth, Alexandre, and Arcole, anchored in
Brest roads yesterday, coming from Cherbourg on
their way to Toulon.

SPAIN.

MADRID, APRIL 6.—The committee of the
Chamber of Deputies appointed to examine the
charges of peculation brought against M. Esteban
Collantes, the ex-minister, has reported that he
ought to be impeached.

The journals of the 3d, as 9ften happens on a
Sunday, contain no news. The President of the
Council of Ministers had sent a circular to the
governors of provinces directing. them •to take
measures for promoting the success of the exhibi-
tion of agricultural and manufacturing preductions
which is to open on the Ist April, 1862.

Intelligence from Leghorn states that several of
the young nobles, and particularly Count Cassa-
nova, nephew of Prince Orsini, left Florence two
days before'to enter the Piedmontese army as vo-
lunteers. A great crowd accompanied them with
acclamations, and immediately after, a proclama-
tion was circulated, expressive of the good wishes
and sympathy of the popdation towards these
young men.

TILE RUMOURED DEATH OF SIR C.
MONCK.

Last evening much excitement was caused at Tattersalls'
by the rumoured demise of Sir C. Monck, a popular patron
of the Turf, and owner of several celebraced race horses.
Had this report been correct, Gamester, Barefoot,
and several other animals would have been
disqualified for their respective engagements.
In The Sun of last evening we mentioned our disbelief in
the rumour, and are now happy to state that a letter was
received in London, this evening, from Sir Charles, dated
Belsay Castle, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Thursday, April 7,
in which the hon. baronet makes not the slightest mention
of having even been unwell. The report, therefore, is en-
tirely without foundation.

ROYAL COMMISSION.

The Usher of the Black Rod summoned the members to
the House of Lords to hear the Royal assent given by
commission to a number of bills [for which see Lords' re•
port].
WESTMINSTER NEW BRIDGE BILL.

Lord J. MANNERS moved that in the case of this bill
the examiners have leave to sit and proceed forthwith.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said he understood that
£138,000 had already been spent on Vfx • works and that
£178,000 more would be required. He wished to know
how the deficiency would be supplied, and whether a report
as to the engineer, contractor, and surveyor being the same
person was true F
Lord J. MANNERS said that as no notice was given
of the motion, he was not prepared with the figures neces-
sary to give a full answer to the questions of the hon.
baronet. He believed that there was appended to the
report of the commissioners of last year an account of the
expenditure incurred, and that a further vote would be
required. The contractor, engineer, and surveyor, were
three different persons.

MR. CHISHOLM ANSTRY,

Mr. E. JAMES-gavenetice that on Thursday noxt ha
would move for the correspondence and other documents
relating to the dismissal of Mr. Chisholm Anstey from his
official position in Hong-Kong.

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.

Just Published, price ls., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps,
ftIECUND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
kJ FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-
ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical
Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-
ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated
from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi-
tioner of twenty years' standing.
Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of
SECOND LIFE.
