PETITIONS.

Several petitions were presented from different parts of
Ireland against the withdrawal of the Galway subsidy, as
being impolitic and a breach of faith, being also the means
of inflicting great loss on persons who had subscribed their
money to the company under the impression the Government
contract would be continued ; against the Irish Foor Law
Bill ; in favour of railway communication being established
between Halifax and Quebec; for the opening of the Bri-
tish Museum at such hours in the evening as would enable
the working classes to avail themselves of the benefits of
the institution; in favour of promoting the cultivation of
cotton in India.

THE STATE OF OUDE.
Mr. TORRENS moved an address for copies of any
letters from the Secretary of State for India to the Gover-
nor-General of India in Council, subsequent to the 26th of
May, 1860, calling for a reply to the reference that was
then made to the Governor-General, on the subject of cer-
tain claims which have been preferred on the late Govern-
ment of the State of Oude.—Ordered.

EXPORTATION OF RAGS.
Mr. NORRIS moved an address for return of the names
of those countries in Europe which permit of the free ex-
p6rt of rags, and of those other countries that prohibit such
export, or impose a duty thereon, with the amount per ton
of such duty, in each case.--Ordered.
TRAMWAYS (IRELAND) BILL (1860).
Mr. BEAM SII moved that the reasons given by this
house, and communicated to the House of Lords on the
17th day of August, 1860, for disagreeing to certain of the
amendments made by their Lordships to the Tramways
(Ireland) Bill, be printed as the same are entered in the
journals of this house.—Ordered.
AUSTRALIAN SOVEREIGNS.
Mr. Alderman SALOMONS asked the Chancellor of the
Exchequer if her Majesty's Government had any reports
from the Master of the Mint, or other official persons, on
the subject of making the sovereign coined at the branch
mint at Sydney a legal tender throughout her Majesty's
dominions; and if so, whether there was any objection to
produce such reports for the information of the house?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there
was a correspondence in progress on this difficult and in-
teresting subject. That correspondence was of necessity
slow in its progress, because the colony, the Government,
and the Bank of England were all interested. He was ready
to produce this correspondence as far as it had gone.

" Our labours are impeded at the outset by the uncer-
tainty in which we are at present placed concerning the
position, the nature, and the amount of space that will be
allotted to our countrymen for the exhibition of agricultural
and industrial produce, of machinery in motion, and works
of art; and it would be extremely convenient if her Majes-
ty's commissioners would take. the earliest opportunity of
transmitting us a general plan of the Exhibition buildings,
showing the space allotted to France.
" Until we are furnished with this document, it will be
impossible for us to enter into any arrangement with those

certainty be prolonged there is reason to fear that the suc-
cess of the Exhibition may be sensibly affected.

they desire it, further information as to the progress

211 E SWIS SINGERS.

A change of programme has taken place in the attractive
concerts given by the Swiss Female Singers at St. James's
Hall, and the entertainment as now arranged is without
doubt one of the greatest musical treats in the metropolis.
The voices of the fair singers harmonize extraordinarily.
The choruses are admirably rendered, and the part singing
is perfection. The comic solos by Fraulein Johanna
Claussen calls forth the most enthusiastic applause.
Madlle. Fredericka Kelley, the leading soprano, and the
contralto, Madame Anna Decker Schenk, both possess
voices of great compass, .and the purity of taste exhibited
by all the singers entitles them to the highest praise,

IRON CASED SHIPS.

The following letter has been addressed to a
con temporary :
Sir,—ln the discussion on the Navy Estimates
on Monday night Lord C. Paget is reported to have
made the following statement ;
"Lord C. Paget wished to correct an impression
that seemed to exist, that the Admiralty never
consulted anybody but the Controller of the Navy
in the construction of ships. They had consuited
several of the most eminent shipbuilders, including
Mr. Laird, of Liverpool, and Mr. Napier, of
Glasgow, as to the construction of these ships."
I was applied to by the Admiralty on the
28th of January, 1859, with several other private
shipbuilding firms, and also, I have heard, some of
the master shipwrights of the various dockyards,
to give designs and detailed information respecting
the construction of iron-cased ships of large size.
The dimensions and form of vessel were left to
the parties applied to, but general information as to
the weights, armament, stores, &c., to be carried,
the height of ports out of water, was furnished by
the Admiralty.
_

I sent in the plans and information, as request-
ed, on the Ist of March, 1859, and, as the other
parties refered to no doubt did the same, it would
appear desirable that the description and dimen-
sions of vessels proposed by the several parties
applied to, and the report of the Controller of the
Navy on the various plans submitted, should be
published and laid on the table of the House of
Commons for the information of members and the
public.
Soon after the plans and information above
referred to were sent in (on the 30th of April,
1859), the Admiralty requested tenders for the
construction of an iron-eased ship (since called the
Warrior), and I am not aware that any private
firms have since been asked to submit plans, but I
believe that all the other frigates now building
are constructing on the designs of the late or
present Controller of the Navy.
I regret to see the decision that has been come
to by the Admiralty to build wood ships and case
them with iron as: it is generally admitted that
the adoption of iron for the construction of vessels
of war of large size is not only desirable, but is
the principal means by which the increasing ex-
penditure in our dockyards can be put a stop to.
I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant,

to Bow-street Station in an insensible state, having drunk

It was thought advisable by the authorities to take the
man without delay (on it being made known what he had
drank) to King's College Hospital, but unfortunately he
died on the road thither. The whole of the affair, and the

"k_l with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. fickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in' his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a'great boost on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemole it are accurately_ de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for

sailor sighs," in the latter of which she enjoyed the in-
valuable assistance of Mr. Sims Reeves. Miss Matilda
Baxter also appeared on this occasion as a pianist, for tho
third time in public, in which she displayed much talent,
and fully justified the favourable anticipations which her
earlier efforts created. The hall was fully and fashionably
attended.

AN ENGLISH CONSUL CAPTURED BY

BRIGANDS.

A letter from Genoa of the 3d in the Gazette de
France, says :—" The English Consul at Palermo
has been placed under ransom by some brigands.
Mr. Rose had left the city with his family, and
when he arrived at Porazzi his carriage was stopped.
He was made prisoner, and a ransom of 2,000 gold
ounces demanded. Mr. Rose disputed the sum,
and get it reduced to 200, which he pledged his
word as an Englishman to send to his captors.
The latter imposed on him the condition of not
saying a word on the subject, which he agreed to.
His watch was taken from him, but he was pro-
mised that it should be returned when the money
was paid. Mr. Rose was then set at liberty. He
determined to pay the 200 gold ounces, and not
to lodge any complaint, but the coachman and the
children talked of the affair, and on its coming
to the ears of the authorities they interfered to
prevent the money being paid. Mr. Rose replied
that as a private individual he must keep his word,
but.that as British Consul he must refer the matter
to London; from whence applications would be ad-
dressed to the Government of King Victor Em-
manuel, which is responsible for what takes place
on Italian ground. Mr. Bastoggi, the Minister of
Finance, w.ll have to reimburse the 200 ounces."

EASTER TERN.

The Lord Chancellor will sit at Westminster on
Monday, April 15, for appeal motions and appeals,
and at Lincoln's-inn the following day and during
term for appeals, &c., the days being excepted on
which his lordship shall be engaged in the House
of Lords. The Lords Justices will sit at Westmin-
ster on the first day of term for appeal motions,
and at Lincoln's-inn on the following day, and the
remainder of the term for appeal motions, appeals,
&c., the days being excepted on which their lordships
may be engaged in full court at the Judicial Commit-
tee of the Privy Council. The Master of the Rolls will
sit in the first day of term at Westminster, and take
motions, and at Chancery-lane the general paper,
&c., on the following day and the remainder of the
term. The different Vice-Chancellors will each sit
at Westminster on the first day of term and take
motions, and on the following days at Lincoln's-inn
for the general paper, &c. Any causes intended to be
heard as short causes must be marked so at least one
clear day before they can be inserted in the list for
hearing.
The list of business in the Courts of Queen's
Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer, has
been made up by the officers of their respective
courts ; from which it appears that the arrears of
business in the Court of Queen's Bench is much
larger than the, other courts, and of a more heavy cha-
racter than usual, even at that court. The now trial
paper contains a list of 42 rules for new trials, stand-
ing for argument. In the Common Pleas there are
eight enlarged rules for argument. In the new
trial paper, three rules moved in Michaelmas Term,
1860, and in Hilary Term 13, in which are the
celebrated cases of Kemp v. Neville, and Ebor v.
Neville, the Cambridge University Proctor case.
For judgment : Wilton v. the Royal Mail
Steam
Q
Navigation Company, and Pickard v. Smith. Tn
the emurrer and special paper there are 20 cases
for argument. In the Exch( que-r (Court of Error
and Appeals), 8 for argument; and for judgment,
Watts v. Shuttleworth. On the crown side of the
Queen's Bench the arrears are also very heavy, and
amongst the rules will be the celebrated of I

FATAL FALL FROM A HOUSE-Top.—Yesterday
Mr. Sergeant Payne held an inquest, in Guy's Hospital, on
the body of Benjamin Hunt, a plumber, aged 49, who, whilst
measuring some lead work on the top of a house at Bexley
Heath, fell a distance of 25 feat, by which ho received a
fracture of the skull ; seven ribs were also broken, and the
left lung was torn from the ribs protruding into it. In fact,
the chest was filled with blood from the injuries received.
He died. however, from the injuries he had sustained in
less than one hour. The jury returned as their verdict one
of "Accidental death."

mining engineer to the Duke of Northumberland, Lord
Hastings, Colonel Towneley, and other large coalowners ;

brokers had been put into possession of his property, and
under these accumulations of misfortunes his mind gave

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
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 veinal),
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.

This Hospital is entirely devoted to destitution in Its most

disease, and is now of sufficient magniude that, with ade-
quate support, i may be rendered capable of admitting into
its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this
great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have
500 beds immediately available for the reception of these the
most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratui-
tously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the
average, than 2,000 out-patients a week.

PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
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
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
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."
