POST OFFICE (MONEY- ORDER OFFICES).

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY moved for a return of all losses
and defalcations, if any, that hare occurred in the money-
order offices of the General Post-office in the United King-
dom, since Jan. 1, 1841.—Ordered.

NEW WRIT FOR THE BOROUGH OF TIVER-
TON.-LORD PALMERSTON.

Mr. BRAND moved that the Speaker do issue his warrant
for the election of a member for the borough of Tiverton,
vacant by the acceptance of the Constableship of Dover
Castle and the Wardenship of the Cinque Porte by the
Right Hon. Lord Palmerston. (Laughter.)

The writ was ordered.
THE BUDGET,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
as there might be some misunderstanding in consequence
of the statement he made the other evening, to the effect
that he would make his financial statement about the 11th
of next month, he wished to say that it was definitively
fixed that he would make that statement on the 15th of
next month.

BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY (STAMP
DUTY).

The report of the committee on the resolution relative
to the stamp duty was brought up.
Mr. CRAWFORD said that several representations had
been made to him during the day on the subject of this duty,
and he thought if the amount were reduced from 7s. to ss.
upon every ,ElOO it would give great satisfaction. He thought
it would be very desirable if the bon. and learned gentle-
man, the Attorney. General, would give an assurance that
if the amount realised by this duty exceeded his expectation,
the amount would be lowered.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the bill pro-
vided for a financial statement being laid before the house
every year, and if it should be•found that the stamp duty
should prove more productive than he expected, it would
afford him great pleasure to propose a reduction. He
would move in committee the substitution of ss. for 7s. as
the latter amount was introduced by mistake.
The report was then agreed to.
BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENC Y BILL.

The house then went into committee on this bill, and the
followingamendedresolution, in conformity with the state-
ment of the Attorney-General, was agreed to. Clause 201,

SUITORS' FUND IN CHANCERY.

Lord ST. LEONARDS drew the attention of the house
to some correspondence connected with the funds of the
suitors of the Court of Chancery.
The Duke of ARGYLL was glad the noble lord had
called the attention of the Government to the subject, and
assured him that every consideration should be given to it.

THE LEBANON.

Mr. MONSELL wisiled to be informed what system of
Government was to be established in the Lebanon after the
withdrawal of the French troops. He stigmatised the
Turkish Government as incompatible with the interests of
civilisation, and that it was utterly incapable of restraining
the fanaticism of the Mahometan population.
Lord J. RUSSELL said it was exceedingly inconvenient
to have a weekly discussion on questions of foreign policy.
In answer to Lord H. Graham, he stated that he had
received no official information as to the escape of General
Miramon, but he had heard privately that he had been
received on board a French man-of-war. In reply to Sir
H. Vane, the noble lord stated he had no further intelli-
gence than that already given respecting the recent events
which had taken place at Warsaw. The forbearance of the
people did them the greatest honour, especially at the time
when six of their unarmed citizens were slaughtered in the
streets. The noble lord also stated, with regard to the
future government of the Lebanon, that it was a question of
the greatest difficulty. A permanent foreign occupation
would be an abandonment of the Sovereign rights of
Turkey, and he hoped that, when the French troops were
withdrawn, affairs would assume a more settled aspect, and
the Government of the Sultan be strong enough to compel
the people to respect the rights of their fellow subjects,
whether Druses or Maronites, In answer to a question put
by Mr. Gregory, relative to the fugitive slave Anderson, he
said he had no objection to lay upon the table the corre-
spondence which had passed between the English and
American Governments on this subject, but, at the same
time, the instructions that were sent to the Governor of
Canada should be appended to the return.

Sir S. NORTHCOTE called attention to the mode in
which the vote of credit of £850,000 for naval and military
services in China for the year 1859.60 had been dealt with,
and the importance of regulating the system of dealing with
unemployed balances for the army and navy services.
Mr. F. FEEL said that the £850,000 voted last yeariwas
for the purpose of meeting extraordinary expenses in China
for 1859-60.

111 E MURDER AT PLYMOUTH.

The coroner's jury reassembled in the Guildhall
on Tuesday night, at six o'clock, to bear the deci-
sion of the magistrates respecting the production of
the prisoner, mid also to take further evidence.
The court was well filled by a large number of per-
sons apparently anxious to hear every particular
respecting this frightful deed. Some of the officers
of the 61st Regiment were also present.
The jury having answered to their names,
The foreman (Mr. Joseph Wills) rose and said
that he had waited on the Mayor that morning,
according to their request, and had laid before him
their wishes, that the prisoner, Robert Hacked,
should be brought before the Coroner's Court at
their sitting this evening. The Mayor replied that
the magistrates, 12 in number, had fully considered
the matter, and that they had come to the unani-
mous decision "that they would grant no order on
the subject 'whatever." He (the Mayor) also said
" that they would not refuse permission for him to
be brought there, but they would grant no order."
His worship at the same time wished it to be under-
stood that it was not from any want of courtesy to
the coroner's jury that the magistrates had arrived
at this conclusion, but they thought that it would
answer no good end if the prisoner was produced ;
they therefore declined to make an order. The
Mayor further said, that until the same number of
magistrates voted for granting the order as had
voted against it he should decline acting any fur-
ther in the matter. It was for them (the jury) to
consider that there was no chance of the prisoner
being brought there.
Mr. Langford—l beg to move an adjournment till
the man be brought here.
Mr. Miner—l beg to second it.
After a lengthened discussion the jury retired
for consultation, and were absent about three-
quarters of an hour. Their names having been
called over, the foreman read the following
" PROTEST.

" Guildhall, Plymouth, Jan. 8, 1861.
" The jury are of unanimous opinion that the refusal of
the magistrates to grant the order for the production bef ore
the coroner and jury of the prisoner Robert Hacked, charged
with the murder of Lance-Sergeant Jones, has a tendency
to frustrate the ends of justice, inasmuch as it deprives the
prisoner of the opportunity of confronting his accusers,
and also creates a precedent subversive of the eonstitu-
tionitl usages of the country.
" The jury, therefore, agree to adjourn till Friday, the
11th inst., at 6 p.m., trusting that the magistrates will in
the meantime grant the order for the prisoner's appear-
ance at that day and hour.

(Sig-ned) " JOSEPH WILLS, Foreman."
The Coroner undertook to present the protest,
after which the jury and witnesses were again
bound over to appear at the time agreed upon, and
the proceedings terminated.
The feeling of the Court was decidedly in favour
of the view taken by the jury._ Western Morning

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, _

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the

Curg 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
kteat discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
inds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. Byhis 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.

DR. LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting
from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man-
hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En-
gravin7s from Life, representing the various Organs in
Health and Disease.

The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in
great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly
qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20
years has made the Diseases arising usually from.
Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im-
pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter
and render it a state of misery, by disappointing, its forOest
hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in
form, closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in-
nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the
necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred
years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in-
fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred
Afflictions, dating back. in too numerous instances, to a period
'ong preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex-
re-iewce.
A professional prejudice, which beiwily is now fast disap-
pearing,, though it still lingers ro little obA:nacy in
some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time
almost ignored the morbid affections comprised sinner the
general designation " Nervous and Physical Debility," thbugh
these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre-
valent than any others.
The consequence of so important a department ot pathology
being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in
question, virtually npelled from consultation with prac-
titioners of standing and character, are thus liable'to fall into
the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles
of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found
in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal
penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment. of
these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the
medical profession. Those who may have a suspicion
that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica-
tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare
in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred
hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace
cliro eic embitterment by permanent content.
Dr. La'lllert. M.D., Honorary Member of the London Hos-
pita: Medical Society, Lc.. is the only legally qualified regis-
tered practitioner who, for 20 years, has devoted his attention
to the treatment of these disorders. At home for consulta-
tation daily, from 10 till 2, and from 6 till 8.

We read in the Journal des Debats of yesterday :
—The report of the recall of the squadron of M.
Barbier de Tinan has been confirmed. The Pied-
montese have redoubled their vigilance and acti-
vity. Reinforcements have been sent to the
Abruzzi, where Civitalla still con tinues, and
where it seems certain that Count Trapani,
a prince of the royal family of Naples, has
just entered. The arrest of Crispi at Palermo
is spoken of in consequence of the popular
movements which induced the Turin cabinet to
constitute a new administration in that city. It is
given out that the Sardinian Government are about
to form ten new regiments. In replying to the
congratulatory address presented to him by the
magistrates of the Milanese Junta, the King spoke
with somewhat more decision that when he replied
on New Year's-day to the corporation of Turin.
" Having now become a great nation," he said,
" we may be resolute in will without endangering
our destiny."
A letter in the Presse cites, but with all reserve

Allgemetns Zeitung
of the line and

CORN EXCHANGE.

The whole of the vessels recently reported in the river
with English wheat have still their cargoes on board,
owing to the severity of the weather. No sales, therefore,
took place en board ship to-day, but the samples which
reached us by land carriage from Essex and Kent wars
disposed of at quite Monday's currency.
There was a slight improvement in the demand for
foreign wheat, and about an average business was trans-
acted, at extreme rates. Floating cargoes were almost
nominal. Fine barley was quite as dear as last week, but
very low qualities of foreign were a dull inquiry.
There was a moderate demand for malt, and late rates
were well supported.
Good and fine oats were rather dearer, and other kinds
supported previous rates.

Both heaps and peas wore scarce, and. quite as dear as
on Monday. We have no change to notice in the value
of flour.
