THE GREAT SOCIAL MYSTERY.—The
recent change in the law of Separation and Divorce has
raised up a new problem which taxes the ingenuity of social
philosophers to solve. In a nation so renowned as this for
the sanctity of its domestic tics, it appears unaccotintab'e that
any marriages, contracted under circumstances apparently
auspicious, should result in sorrow, disgust, and degradation,

THE HUNTING SEASON IN WARWICKSHIRE,

The Leamington Courier reports that the sports of the hunt-
ing season in Warwickshire, which had been interrupted
by the recent severe frost, have been resumed with an
eagerness and vigour which prove that the lovers of the
chase are fully resolved to make up for the time they had
lost. The several "meets" are, as heretofore, well at-
tended; and the sports for which the county enjoys an
enviable fame continue to realise the expectations of the
numerous visitors who delight in the exercise of horseman-
ship.
[ADVERTISEMENT.}—We have read with much pleasure
Du Barry's report of the cures without medicine by Du
Barry's food. The following are a few extracts which ap-
pear to merit the attention of many :—Cure No. 47,121.—
Miss Elizabeth Jacobs, of Nazing Vicarage, Waltham-
cross, Herts ; a cure of extreme nervousness, indigestion,
gatherings, low spirits, and nervous fancies." Cure Ne,
48,314.—" Miss Elizabeth Yeoman, Gateacre, near Liver-
pool ; a cure of ten years dyspepsia and all the horrors of
nervous irritability." Cure No. 64,812 —Miss Virginia
Zeguers, cured of consumption, after medical advisers had
abandoned all hopes of recovery. Cure No. 51,514, Baron
de Polentz, Prefect of Langenau, of many years horrible
sufferings of the nerves and an obstinate liver complaint
for which the German spas had been tried in vain for
years. Cure No, 48,721, General Baron de Zaluskowski,
of many years fearful disorders of the digestive functions.
Avoid Pills and Medicines : they invariably aggravate and
perpetuate diseases ; their annoyance, disappointment,
and expense may be avoided by using Du Barry's Food
which, at a few pence per day, saves SC times its cost in
other remedies, removing effectually, v .thout purging,
constipation, indigestion (dyspepsia) nervous, bilious and
liver complaints and all their consequences. Certificate
No. 36,418. We find it the safest remedy. Andrew Ure,
MD., F.lt.S., Dr Harvey, Dr. Wurzer, 1)r. Shorland, Dr.
Campell. Let invalids avoid the fearful dangers of spu-
rious and injurious imitations offered under a variety of
false pretences. Nevill's imitations are prohibited by the
high Court of Chancery under a penalty of £5,000 against
Alfred Hooper Nevill and his agents ; and the pretences
that Nevill has a patent for Aral.iza Food and that Du
Barry's are connected with such patent are utterly fake.

THIS DAY'S _MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-day,
both from Essex an, Kent, was limited, and chiefly in poor
condition. Selected samples were disposed of readily, and,
in some nstances, prices were a shade higher ; but other
kinds moved off slowly, at late rates.
We were again supplied with foreign wheat, in which a
fair average business was transacted, at previous currencies
Floating cargoes were held at full prices.
Fine barley commanded full quotations ; but all other
kinds were very dull.

The malt trade was in a sluggish state; nevertheless,
prices were supported.

Oats were quite as dear as on Monday. Buyers are
waiting foreign arrivals.

TEA.— At the public sales the biddings were rather brisk
for the better qualities of green, and in some instances
slightly enhanced rates were realised.
SUGAR.—The general tone of the market continued dull,
the small business transacted, however, was at about pre-
vious rates.
Corrp.n.—At public sale good and fine descriptions of
Plantation Ceylon brought full prices ; and other qualities
were in moderate request, at previous valms.

brought full prices. In East India the dealings were
moderate without any material alteration in values.

TRANSFER OF SEATS.
Lord ENFIELD gave notice that on Friday week he
would move for leavo to bring in a bill to transfer the seats
of St. Albans and Sudbury to the parish of St. Luke's,
Chelan.

BULLION.
On the motion of Mr. HANKEY the following was
ordered :—Return of the amount of bullion purchased and
cold by the Bank of England, distinguishing gold from
silver, and bar gold from foreign gold coin, in each month
from 31st Dec., 18,59, to 31st Dec., 1860; also the excess of
Payments to or of receipts from the public, of British gold
coin ; and also the amount received from the Mint during
the same period (in continuation of Parliamentary paper,
No. 86, of session 18Q0).
REDUCTION IN THE DOCKYARDS.

Sir F. SMITH asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
whether a considerable reduction in the number of ship-
wrights and other workmen in her Majesty's dockyards
had taken place since the close of the last session of Par-
liament, or is now contemplated; and if so, whether it was
in consequence of any intention to substitute iron for
wooden ships of war, or to employ private builders more
extensively than heretofore.

Lord C. PAGET said that no reduction to any extent
had yet taken place, but it was contemplated to reduce a
certain number of men employed in the dockyards next
month. Such reduction was in consequence of the
substitution alluded to.
RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

In reply to Mr. BHNTINCK,
Mr. M. GIBSON said that the facilities afforded by
railway companies to the railway inspectors to obtain
every information in reference to railway accidents rendered
unnecessary the recommendation of the committee last year
with respect to issuing commissions of inquiry. It was
not intended to introduce any bill to interfere with the free
action of railway companies. The inspectors had reported
on the railway accidents that had occurred since the pro-
rogation of Parliament, and their report would be laid
before both houses.

CONCENTRATED VEGETABLE ESSENCE.

This invigorating Medicine restores the wasted and im-
paired functions and powers of life, when exhausted by
sojourn in hot climates, and excesses of various kinds,
brought on in early youth, maturity, and old age. It is a
certain cure for indigestion, lowness of spirits, hypochon-
driasis, asthma, neuralgia, sciatica, tic doloreux, chronic
nervous debility, and premature decay, nervo-cerebral affec-
tions, renal pains, irritation and inflammation, with their
dangerous consequent deposits, such as gravel, stone, &c.,
chronic and spasmodic stricture, enlargement of the prostate,
weakness of the bladder, retention and non-retention, soften-
ing of the kidneys, and all tem aletomplaints. The properties
of this invaluable remedy possess the power of enriching,
increasing:, and purifying each particular vital fluid, rendering
them prolific, so as to enjoy health and vigour. Per bottle,

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

NAPLES, FEB. 7.

Two other explosions of powder magazines at
Gaeta have compelled the garrison to ask for an
armistice of 48 hours to bury their dead and dis-
inter the living from the ruins caused by the
bombardment.

General Cialdini granted the armistice although
it was against his interest.
The explosion caused great damage to the bat-
tery San Antonio.
The Bourbon soldiers are greatly discouraged.
General Cialdini has offered necessaries for their
wounded.

PARIS, FRIDAY.

A telegram received here from Constantinople,
dated yesterday, announces that France had re-
mitted a note to the Porte, a note almost identical
with that of Russia, stating that the inquiry in
Roumelia was not sufficient, and demanding the
convocation of conferences.

The Porte replied that reforms had been pre-
pared.

LEMBERG, FEB. 8.

An address, signed by several hundred notables
of this city, petitions that the popular interest may
be principally considered in the approaching elec-
tions to the Diet; but that only proprietors of
landed property should be entitled to elect, and
that all other persons should be excluded.

THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS.
BERLIN, FEB. 7.

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
the discussion of the Address was continued, and
the question of the organisation of Germany was
treated by several speakers.
M. Stavenhagen proposed an amendment, ex-
pressing the wish that Prussia should be placed at
the head of united Germany and the German Con-
federation.

Baron Schleinitz, in reference to' this amend-
ment, said :—" An energetic concentration of the
national forces towards the exterior, and a deve-
lopment of the federal institutions, are highly
desirable." The Minister laid stress, however, on
the necessity of respecting the established rights
of others, and said :—"A free understanding is
desirable; no coercion must take place. As regards
the solution of the German question, different
opinions exist. In many places a strong antipathy
prevails against the solution which would place
Prussia at the head of Germany. Suck antipathies
would receive a new stimulus by such resolutions.
The present general state of things does not "allow
of extensive projects of reform. At a moment
when concord is needed, no discord must be sown."
In the course of the discussion Baron Schleinitz
said further :—" Even if there is no danger in
adopting the amendment, it is nevertheless unde-
sirable."

M. Stavenhagen then withdrew his amendment.

M. Overbeck took it up, and proposed it on his
own account. The amendment was, however,
rejected by 261 against 41 votes.

TURIN, FEB. 7.

At Gaeta, within the last 36 hours, the besiegers
have blown up three powder magazines, and have
destroyed the side curtain of the citadel.
The garrison has asked for an armistice of 48
hours to bury their dead. This has been granted
by General Cialdini, who has besides sent to the
place necessaries for the wounded.
London, England, 1861-02-08

FRANKFORT- ON-THE-MAINE, FEB. 7.

In to•day's sitting of the Federal Diet, the pro-
positions of the committee on the affairs of Hol-
stein, were agreed to.
The representative of Denmark contested the
competency of the Diet, and reserved the rights of
Denmark.

MORTAR, FEB. 4.

On the 28th of January the Montenegrins, with
a band of insurgents from the neighbouring vil-
lages, which they keep in a state of revolt, sur-
prised several villages in the district of Nicsich,
and behaved with the utmost cruelty and atrocity
towards the peaceable Mussulman inhabitants,
killing altogether 41 persons, of whom 10 were
children and three women.
A second band attacked the chief town, Carla-
nitiz, assassinated several people, burnt many
libuses, and acted with the greatest ferocity and
cruelty towards the inhabitants.

CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 2.

The Russian ambassador has presented to the
Porte a strong note in reply to the Grand Vizier's

report.

This note reiterates the assertions of Russia that
the Christians are oppressed.

The Porte continues to refuse its consent to a
prolongation of the French occupation of Syria.

The drafts of the treaties of commerce which are
about to be concluded between England and
Turkey, and France and Turkey, have been sent
home for the approval of the English and French
Governments.

The commercial crisis continues in Galata.

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex

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."

TILE ARMY.

The members of the Army Hospital Commission
arrived at Portsmouth yesterday morning, and im-
mediately entered upon their duties in the garrison.
The following circular, making some important
alterations in the rates of good conduct pay awarded
to soldiers, has been issued from the War-office, by
direction of Lord Herbert :--

" The Secretary of State for War having decided
on the substitution of the following paragraphs &I-
clause 5, page 4, of the good conduct regulations of
Sept. 10, 1860, circular 629, the same is notified for
the information and guidance of all officers charged
with the administration of those regulations.
" 6. As a further reward of continuous good
conduct, soldiers of 16 and less than 18 years' ser-
vice, and whose names have not been entered in
the regimental defaulters' book for 14 years pre-
ceding their claim, may receive the rate of good
conduct pay granted after 18 years' service, on the
completion of the said 14 years' continuous good
eonduct, and shall be entitled to receive the rate
attached to 23 and 28 years two years earlier—that
is, 21 and 26 years respectively.
" In like manner, soldiers of 21 and less than 23
years' service, and whose names have not been en-
tered in the regimental defaulters' book for 14 years
preceding their claim, may receive the rate of good
conduct pay granted after 23 years' service, on
completion of the said 14 years' continuous good
conduct, and shall be entitled to receive the rate
attached to 28 years two years earlier—that is,
after 26 years' service.
" Soldiers of 26, and less titan 28 years' service,
whose names have not been e tered in the regimen-
tal defaulters' book for 14 leers preceding their
claim, may receive their ratelef good conduct pay
granted after 21 years' service, on completion of
the said 14 years' continuous good conduct.
" Lord Herbert has also decided that the word
' offence' shall be substituted, for the word entry
in the 14th line of clause 10, page 5, of the good
conduct regulations."

CHARING -CROSS.

The report of the directors of this company states
that since the last meeting the works connected
with the bridge at Charing-cross have made satis-
factory progreso. The r) eseessary foundations and
piers at the Surrey si3e will be sufficiently ad
vanced to enable three shams of the bridge at that
point to be placed in posaion. The company has
obtained actual possession of sufficient property to
enable the contractor to nreiceed with the southern
abutment and part of
viaduct ; and the nego-
tiations for the purchase e• f the whole of the land
up to the immediate vicini:tY of the Blaokfriars-
road are so far advanced tin,,t the company will
very shortly be in possession or' the principal pro-
perty required for the purposes' of the railway
between these points. The toti.'l expenditure
during the half-year has been :£68,966, of
which £55,887 has been paid for land
and compensation. The directors have given
notice of an intended application in the ensuing
session of Parliament for a bill to enable the
railway to be extended into the city, to a ter-
minus opposite London-stone and Walbrook, in
Cannon-street. As at present laid out, the station
accommodation of the railway will be at Lon-
don-bridge, at the crossings of the great
thoroughfares leading to Southwark-bridge, Black-
friars-bridge, and Waterloo-bridge, and at Char-
ing-cross. The railway, as at present laid out,
approaches very near to the river Thames, in
the immediate neighbourhood of London-bridge.
At the crossing of the Borough market it is only
200 yards distant from the south bank of the river;
a; td on the north or city side of the Thames the new
bro 4 d thoroughfare of Cannon-street is situated only
300 yai•ds from the river. It is accordingly proposed
to form a ::,rancl, line out of the Charing-cross Rail-
way, a little to the westward of Wellington-street,
Borough, and caZry it across the Thames by a bridge
to a City Termini,ls in Cannon-street ; the whole
length of the proposeld line being only 900 yards.
The terminus in Cannon-street will be 150 yards
from the Mansion-house, 250 yards from the statue
in King William-street, ante 560 yards from St.
Paul's. The estimated cost of tLle proposed railway
is £525,000 ; and it is submitted that the expendi-
ture of such additional amount wit 2 be amply justi-
fied by the large addition 11 traffic which may with
confidence be expected from its constrnCtion.
The capital account shows that £195,900 had been
received, and £127,581 expended, leaving-a balance
of £68,322.

COFFEE.—At public sale good and fine descriptions of

land tribes of Scotland. He believed these men were as
free from guilt in regard to the massacre that had taken
place, and, if we did not interfere in their behalf, we were
guilty of innocent blood being shed.
Lord J. RUSSELL said the tribunal in question was an
extraordinary one, but still it was properly constituted.
However, from circumstances that had come to the know-
ledge of her Majesty's Government they were of opinion
that the Druses had not had a fair trial. With respect to
their innocence the Government had no means of judging of
that, until they had seen the evidence on which they were
convicted. Her Majesty's Government had made arrange-
ments with the Ottoman. Porte that in the event
of the conviction of these men none of them
were to be executed until the evidence at their trial had
been submitted to the European Powers and received their
approbation. He asked the Turkish ambassador bow it
happened that all the Turks who were convicted in respect
to the events in Syria were sentenced only to exile, while
the others were executed, a fact which had excited the at-
tention of Lord Dufferin. The only explanation he had
received was that, according to the law of Turkey, it was
not legal to condemn inhabitants of that State to death
under the circumstances. The noble lord entered into
some further explanations, and concluded by stating that
the European Powers would take cite that justice would be
done in regard to these Druse chiefs.

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
kgreat discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
inds 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 Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.
