LIFE.
This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes. The time required to cure the most inveterate
case 38 four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is Impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst

Dr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold In cases, with full in-
structions for use, at Hs., or four quantities in one for 335.,
and may be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,

EXTRAORDINARY FEAT BY A CENTENARIAN.-
There is at present residing in Shuttern, Taunton, a woman
named Ann Dunning, wtto has reached the good old age of
104. On Michaelmas-day she dined off a goose, at the
house of a friend at Upottery, from whence she afterwards
walked to Taunton, a ;distance of eleven or twelve miles
carrying with her a heavy basket. The old lady enjoys
general good health, and is in full poosession of her facul-
ties.— Western Counties Herald.

DIRMINGHAM—OcT. 10.

At to-day's market there was a fair supply of English
wheat from the farmers, and the trade ruled slow for all
descriptions, at an advance of 2s on new qualities. Barley
unaltered in value. Oats and beans at a decline on last
week's currencies. Peas at fully last week's rates.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

The supplies of meat on sale hero are moderate. Good
and prime beef and mutton move off steadily at very full
prices ; but inferior qualities are in slow request at late
rates. Veal is a dull inquiry. Pork, howeN er, commands
high currencies.

scription::.
Suo A.n.-2The market has continued active, and enhanced
rates have been current, good and fine granary descriptions
having advanced 6d to is per cwt.
COFFEE.—For the better qualities of Plantation Ceylon
the demand was active, and: a further improvement of 6d
per cwt can be recorded ; other descriptions fully maintain
previous prices.
RICE.—A fair amount of business has been done, and
late quotations are still maintained.
SALTFETRE.—Business hus been exceedingly inactive,

mencement of the series has been in most instances well
maintained.
TALLOW.—The market has been less active, and for
both present and forward delivery prices have slightly
given way. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted at 495; and spring
delivery 49s to 49s 6d per cwt.

FRENCH INGENUITY.—We noticed in passing
this morning through the Turnstile, Lincoln'snn•fields,
as curious a specimen of the skill of our neighbours in the
clockmaking line as we remember to have seen. It was
in the front of Mr, Harper's shop. The clock itself was
doubtless as good as other clocks; but it was
shade, and
placed at the
foot of a large May Tree, which filled the glass
especially
on its mate p-
was in full -blossom. On each aide and throughout the
tree were beautiful stuffed tropical birds,

spring was touched, began to perform all kinds of natural

TRULY EFFICACIOUS AND MILD.—
Dr. SCOTT'S BILIOUS and LIVER PILLS, pre-
pared without'any mercurial ingredient, from the recipe of Dr.
Scott, will be found invaluable to all who suffer from bilious
and liver complaints, indigestion, wind, spasms, giddiness,
dizziness of the eyes, &o. For habitual costiveness, as a fa-
mily aperient medicine, and as a purifier of the blood, they
are truly excellent ; mild in their operation and grateful to
the stomach, they create appetite, promote digestion, and
strengthen the whole nervous system. Sold by W. Lambert,
20, Jermyn-street, and by most druggists, in boxes, Is. 14d.
and three times the quantity in one, 2s. 9d. Be sure to ask for
Dr. Scott's Bilious and Liver Pills. The genuine are a
square green package, with " William Lambert," engraved
on the stamp.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's
market were very moderate. The demand for both red
and white qualities w Is rather inactive, nevertheless Mon-
day's advance in the quotations was quite supported.
In foreign wheat the business doing was somewhat re-
stricted. Generally speaking, however, the quotations
ruled firm.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at full
currencies.

Malting barley was dull, and prices had a drooping ten-
dency. In grinding and distilling sorts very little was
doing.

New malt moved off slowly, at late rates. For od there
was scarcely any demand.

There was a steady demand for oats, and their value was
well maintained.

The trade for beans and peas was steady, at full cur-
rencies.

In flour a fair business was transacted, on former term+.

Cure' of Strictures of tile 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. Conrtenay 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,

Mr: Deputy WHITESIDE, in returning thanks for
his re-election, said the question of the price of gas
was second hardly to any other. Gas had, especially
to the City, become a positive necessity. They
paid at least half a million of money for the supply,
and it was now sought to put an extra sixpence
upon the thousand feet, making four and sixpence
instead of four shillings. He would, however, not
dwell upon the question, as a gentleman who was
highly qualified to fully ventilate the question, he
meant Dr. Abrahams, had given a notice of motion
upon the matter. (Hear, hear.)
The other members having briefly acknowledged
the renewed mark of confidence of the inhabitants
of the ward by their re election,
Dr. A➢RAHHAMS, in a speech of considerable
length, moved a resolution commending the course
the City Commissioners of Sewers had taken on the
gas question.
Mr. DRESSER ROGERS seconded the motion.

Mr. HILL did not highly approve of the conduct
of the Commissioners, for he did not think they had
taken the active steps they might have done to
avert the evil.
The motion was carried.

A letter from Paris says :—A gentleman who har
just arrived in. Pa, is from New York says that when
he left no one supposed England would take up tilt
Trent affair so seriously, and " certainly," he ach7
the Amerio-ans will not go to war on that subject.'
He declares that " the ultimatum will surprise then.
amazingly, for they have been accustomed to think
they can do pretty much what they like with lb(
English." These assertions are confirmed in a lett(?)
I have read from a French merchant at New York
lie says that the seizure of the Southern Conn
Inissioners creates no fears in commercia,
-ircles, and then he speaks of l'aspect le plug
~.pacque of the Government and peoph
-ow ards foreign countries, and insists, above
ill, that the Washington Cabinet wishes to keep we:
with England. I think we may at least come to thi.
conclusion, that neither the Government nor the
aeople of the North had the least idea that Eu,glant
would take up the violation of the flag with so mucl
iromptness and decision ; and up to the presen
noment we know not what the expression of feel
ng will be when Lord Lyons' instructions art
known. It is calculated here in Paris that Mondal
next may bring us the first indications of how tht
ultimatum has been received---that is to say, the
•one of the American journals may be telegraphe(
.o London and Paris on that day, whilst the officia
(rimer, it is supposed by Americans here, will ge-
to Europe about the time when New Year's gifts an
,xchanged, as it declared that the Washington
Cabinet will not make a hasty reply. It is but jusi
Ito say that most Americans in Paris, including tia
Nlinister and Consul, consider the boarding of the
['rent illegal and a political error, and they furthe.
,alculateon the Washington Government taking th,
:erne view. I find that a strong conviction continue;
to prevail amongst Northern Americans that war
will be avoided. I should observe that, on interrogat
:ng the gentleman referred to above (who has jus
. trrived from New York) as to why the Norther
trmy does not show signs of action, he ob
•erved :—" The Northern generals have agree(
!lot to make any grand attack on the Souther: 4
I irmy, and the Southern generals have decided tt
!remain on the defensive. The plans of tilt
!Northerners are to 'filter' through the country when '
no large bodies of Southern troops are to be found
and gradually close round their enemies. This wa
General Scott's plan." The authority to whom ]..
!refer seems to think that the North must triumph,
!hut it must be remembered he comes from the im -
!mediate atmosphere of New York and Washington.
!where confidence, to use a measured word, blind•
reason, and often leads to false conclusions.

with regret of the lamentable death of the Prince
Consort. The Epoca, after referring to the affiic
tion of the Queen, says :—" The love of her family

to this affectionate spouse." In consequence of the
death, the French Ambassador had put off a ball
which was to have been given in the evening of the

COURT OP ALDERMEN.

On Saturday a special meeting of the aldermen
of the city of London was held at Guildhall, the
'Lord Mayor presiding, for the public reception and
investiture of a new member of their order, elected
in the place of the late Sir Peter Laurie, who had
been a member of the Court for the long period of
35 years. The ceremony had considerable interest,
attended as it was by much that was picturesque,
and exhibiting in a strong light the pride with
which municipal privileges are cherished by the
popular mind in a city where they have been
exercised on the largest scale time out of
mind. It took place in the fine chamber of the
Court, and the aldermen, who mustered in a goodly
number, wore their scarlet robes on the occasion.
The sheriffs of London and Middlesex, wearing each
his crimson robe and golden badge of office, were
also in attendance, as were likewise Mr. Russell
Gurney, the Recorder ; Mr. Ker, the Judge of the
Sheriff's Court ; Mr. Pearson, the City Solicitor,
and the rest of the ministerial officers of the cor-
poration. The part of the chamber assigned to the
use of the public was crowed to excess.
THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT.
Mr. Alderman COPELAND, M.P., addressing the
Court, said, speaking with visible emotion, the duty
devolved upon him, as their senior member, on that
their first meeting after an event deplored by the
whole country, to move a resolution of sympathy
and condolence with the Queen upon the great loss
which her Majesty, in common with the nation, had
sustained. (Hear.) He knew in doing so he was,
but interpreting the feeling pervading all classes of,
the community, from the highest to the humblest,'
towards a Prince who was universally beloved, who!
exerted himself to the utmost to promote the best'
interests of the people, and who was equally re-
markable for his devotion to the Queen and for the
care and attention he bestowed on the education of the
children with whom it had pleased Providence to
bless them. (Hear.) He ventured to propose a
resolution which had been drawn up by the learned,
Recorder, their principal legal officer, and which he
trusted would embody the feeling of his brethren :
" That the Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen
of the city of London desire to convey to her Most
Gracious Majesty the expression of their constant
loyalty and heartfelt sympathy. The mournful
event by which her. Most Gracious Majesty has lost
the devoted and loyal support of the Prince Consort
has at the same time deprived her Majesty's subjects

ALDGATE.

The annual meeting of the inhabitants of this
ward was held in the Ward-school Committee
Room, Mitre-street, Mr. Alderman Humphery pre-,
sided. There was no opposition in the ward, the
following gentleme►i being unanimously re-elected
—Mr. Robert Whiteside (deputy), Messrs. Turnley,
Bicknell, Osmond, Bennett, Hudson, Hill, and Lusk.
Mr: Deputy WHITESIDE, in returning thanks for
his re-election, said the question of the price of gas
was second hardly to any other. Gas had, especially
to the City, become a positive necessity. They
paid at least half a million of money for the supply,
and it was now sought to put an extra sixpence
upon the thousand feet, making four and sixpence
instead of four shillings. He would, however, not
dwell upon the question, as a gentleman who was
highly qualified to fully ventilate the question, he
meant Dr. Abrahams, had given a notice of motion
upon the matter. (Hear, hear.)
The other members having briefly acknowledged
the renewed mark of confidence of-the inhabitants
of the ward by their re election,
Dr. ABRAHAMS, in a speech of considerable
length, moved a resolution commending the course
the City Commissioners of Sewers had taken on the
gas question.

The Court of Inquest was then revived for the
purposes of the trust of Sir Samuel Starling, which
was left for the endowment of schools for the pool
tradesmen of the district. The administration of
Sir J. Cass's poor schools excited a lengthened dis-
lcussion, it being alleged that the surveyor's expenses
amounted to 44 per cent. of the income.
Mr. KING brought before the court the circum-
stance of the destruction of a number of houses in
the ward by the corporation, for the purpose of
providing a site for a new bonded warehouse. He
stated that the houses in question had accommodated
100 souls, chiefly of the working classes, and he
severely condemned the act of the corporation as
, tyrannical and injurious to the neighbourhood.
w. The following gentlemen were the candidates fol
the Common Council :—Messrs. King, Venables,
