THE CASE OF MR. TURNBULL.

Mr. MAGUIRE made inquiry concerning a correspon.
dence between the Government and the Master of the Rolls
relative to the appointment and resignation of Mr. Turn-
bull, which was not included in the return.
Lord PALMERSTON—Sir, I am quite ready to answer
the questions of the hon. gentleman ; and, in the first place,
I may be allowed to say that, though I have no knowledge
of Mr. Turnbull--I never saw him, and only heard of him
in consequence of the discussion which has taken place in
regard to this appointment—l believe him to be a man of

FAMINE IN INDIA,

Mr. W. EWART asked the Secretary of State for India
what information it was in his power to give respecting the
administration of relief to the sufferers by the famine in
India ; and whether works of irrigation will be vigorously
promoted, as the best means of preventing. such calamities
in future.

Sir C. WOOD said it was true that there was an appre-
hension of famine in India, but the accounts by the last
mail were more favourable, and the sufferings of the people
wwild be confined to a smaller area than was anticipated.
The Government had adopted every possible means to alle-
viate the distress.

THE STRIKE.

Nothing was done yesterday towards reconciling
the differences which have unfortunately sprung up
between the masters and the men, and which have
led to the lock-out or strike. Yesterday meetings
were held at the head-quarters—at which Mr..
George Potter attends—in Rochester-place, Pimlico,
and also at the rendezvous of the masons in Mason •
street, Lambeth. It was currently reported during
the day that on Monday next the men at Messrs.
Trollope's and one or two other large firms will
turn out, thus throwing some hundreds more men
on the funds of their trades' unions and on those
casual contributions which have been promised
from the large manufacturing towns. At Messrs.
Kelks, at Pimlico, and at Messrs. Lucas, in Belve-
dere-road, Lambeth, some few plasterers and masons
are at work, but these do not belong to the union,
and will probably be expelled if the unionists
return. Many other men were during the whole
of yesterday loitering about the yards, with misery
pictured in their faces, anxious to seek for work,
but deterred from doing so in consequence of the
external pressure which is put upon them. The
Messrs. Lucas, who have the contract for the build-
ing of the Great International Exhibition in 1862,
have declared that the strike shall not in any serious
way interfere with the progress of the works, and
that by one class or another they shall be resumed
in the course of next week. The obvious meaning
of this is that, unless the old hands go in upon the
terms which have been suggested, foreign artisans
will be brought over forthwith, a circumstance
which must necessarily have the effect of reducing
the rate of wages in this country for a long time
to come.

GAS ACCIDENT.—A female who keeps a shop at
21, Rue Lavoisier, Paris, not having taken down her shut-
ters at mid-day, her neighbours feared that something had
happened to her, and effected an entrance. They found
that the shop and the room behind were full of gas, and
that the woman was lying senseless in bed. She was at
once removed, and a medical man was sent for, but it was a
long time before she recovered. The gas had escaped from
a crack in a pipe.

THE FAMINE.

The accounts from the scenes of desolation
become daily more "horrible and heartrending
and although private benevolence is exerting itself'
although Calcutta has contributed £lO,OOO, and
Bombay a larger sum—although in every station
subscription lists are established, and the Maharajah
of Burdwan has set a munificent example to hie
couutrymeu, the fact still remains that misery is on
the increase. Ono writer from the North-West
describes a scene in which a swarm of famished
villagers were seen contending with the crows and
vultures over the starved carcase of a cow, the
sacred character of the dead animal being altogether
forgotten in the craving for food. The Mysore
Princes, to whom Sir Charles Wood proposes to
make a present of half a million sterling, Lave
contributed just £BO to the relief of their dying
count' ymen and co-roligionists.

ON THE 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 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 valuab,
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.

fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus •

intelligently exercised, must animate.all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully

prising those of the Ist battalion 20th Regiment,

missioned officers and men, in which he was occu-
pied some time. In consequence of no reinforce-
ments having been despatched to India for several

strong, numbering rather more than 3000 bayonets.

knots. The official mean taken was 16 2 statute
miles per hour. Steam, 221 b ; vacuum, 20. Draught
of water at starting, 16ft Sin forward, and 17ft 2in
aft ; displacement at this draught, 4,000 tons ;

the following are her principal dimensions:—Length
of keel, 360 ft ; length over all, 378 ft ; breadth of
beam, 40ft ; depth of hold, 3011. She has two

cylinders, 98ft diameter and Bft stroke ; and
air pumps worked by two auxiliary engines of
34 in. diameter. She has eight tubular boilers,
with five furnaces each, presenting a total of 800
square feet of firegrate and 20,000 square feet of
heating surface, and is fitted with Partridge's
superheater. Her main saloon is 122 ft. long, deco-
' rated in the highest style of art, and the cabins are
models of convenience and comfort. She has accom-
modation for 197 first-class and 360 steerage pas-
sengers. The Columbia is commanded by Captain
Robert Leitch, and is appointed to leave Galway on
Tuesday, the 9th of April, with the mails for St.
John's and Boston. This is the sister vessel of the
steamship Anglia, now being built by the same firm
for the Atlantic Company, making, with the Adri-
atic, recently purchased, and the Hibernia, a fleet
of four steamers of the largest class and horse-power
of any afloat. A fine barque of about 500 tons bur-
den was launched at noon from the yard of her
builder and owner, Mr. John Ransom, at Northam.
She was named the J. H. Ransom, the Mayor
of the borough (Mr. Alderman Coles) performing
the accustomed ceremonial, and is intended for the
South American trade.
