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 iver complaints, indigestion, wind, spa'ms, giddiness,
dizziness of the eyes, &c. 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 fromach, they create appe ite, promote digestion, and
strer gthen the whole nervous system. Sold by W. Lambert,
and by most druggists, in boxes, 1,. 14d. and 2s. 9d. Be sure
to ask for Dr. Scott's Bilious and Liver Pills. The genuine
are a square green nackage, with " William Lambert, 20,
Jermyn-street." engraved on the stamp.

THE DISPUTE IN THE BUILDING

TRADE.

The only step as yet taken by the members of the Mas-
ters' Association that can be considered hostile to the work-
men is that of keeping the number of men employed on
their various works at the lowest possible number ; with
the view of throwing as much labour into the market as
possible, and thus induce the men to accept the new mode
of payment. On inquiry at the Central Committee Room
of the workmen, it appears that the feeling amongst them
against the proposed system grows stronger daily. The
Bricklayer s' Society, yesterday, issued a strong appeal to
the men in their branch of the trade calling on them to re-
fuse the terms offered, and asserting that but few of the
trade have as yet accepted them. The painters and plas-
terers have acted in a similar manner. The men deny the
statement rumoured yesterday, that Messrs. Trollope's men
have asked for payment by the hour, but state that only a
few individuals have done so. The aggregate meeting to
be held this evening is looked forward to with much interest.
Last evening a meeting of the members of the Operative
Bricklayers' Society, convened by circular, was held at
Farringdon-hall, Snow-hill, for the purpose of considering
the present position of affairs in the dispute with the mas-
ters. Mr. Winkworth in the chair.
After addresses from several speakers, the following re-
solutions were unanimously carried :
"That the minute passed at the meeting held at Hawk-
stone-hall, on the 10th of April last, be confirmed."
" We, the members of the Operative Bricklayers' Society
of London, seeing the blow that will be struck against the
privileges we have so long enjoyed by the introduction of
payment by the hour, do hereby pledge ourselves to resist
the same until the obnoxious system is withdrawn.
" We, the members who are working more than three
days a week, hereby pledge ourselves to pay a levy of Is.
per week for the support of the men locked out, and con-
tinue to pay the same until, the present dispute is satis-
factory settled.
" That the operative bricklayers of London are willing to
work at the rate of 6s. per day for five days, and 3s. for the
half holiday on Saturdays, so making 335. per week."
The usual compliment to the chairman closed the pro-
ceedings,

PETITIONS.

Several petitions were presented in favour of the budget;
for the abolition of the income tax ; for the opening of the
National Ga!lery and other public institutions on Sun-
days; from tradesmen in the metropolis and Ireland, com-
plaining of the income tax, and praying for relief from the
same ; from licensed victuallers against permission to wine
vendors to sell quart bottles of wine, as proposed by the
budget; against the Poor Law Removal Scotland Bill, kc.

BILL.

Lord LYTTELTON moved the second reading of this
bill, which was one for restricting benefice holders of eccle-
siastical corporations from making long leases of certain
lands, to the detriment of succeeding incumbents.
The Bishop of LINCOLN suggested that in committee
certain amendments might be made which would mate-
rially improve the bill.

After a few words from the Marquis of BATH,
The bill was read a second time.
POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANKS BILL.

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Lord REDESDALE wished to know what provision
was made for the depositors ascertaining the state of their
accounts.

The Earl of EGLINTON •and Lord MorrnsAoLv. 'also
asked some questions relative t) the hill.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said it was proposed
to send the books up from the country for comparison to the
central bank in London, and any depositor by
letter could know, if he wished, the exact state of
his account. With respect to the £lO clause for
transferring the accounts from existing savings banks to
the Post-office savings bank, or vice versa, it was in-
troduced for the convenience of the depositor, in
order to save him the trouble of drawing his account
from one bank in order to place it in another. The accounts
would be kept precisely as the money order accounts.
Very little expense would be incurred in carrying the bill
into effect.

Lord REDESDALE was of opinion that the mode of
transference at present in operation ought not to be inter-
fered with. He thought when the bill became generally
known it would be greatly objected to.
After a few observations from the Marquis of CLAN
RICARDE, the house went into committee on the bill.
Clauses from 1 to 6 were agreed to.
On clause 7 being proposed,

A NOBLE LORD asked the reason for fixing the inte-
rest at £2 lOs ?

Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said it was so set
down in order to prevent coming into competition with the
existing savings banks. The rate of interest in public
savings banks was £2 18s.

This and the remaining clauses were agreed to without
amendment.

The bill was ordered to be read a third time on Monday.
The Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes (Ireland)
Bill was read a second time.

Their lordships then adjourned.

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

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 ilk the diagUosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the Mentific 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.

ADMIRAL CRAIGIE ON THE NAVY.

At the annual dinner of the Bath and West of
England Agricultural Exhibition at Truro, on
Thursday, the 6th inst., the president having pro-
posed the toast of " The Army, Navy, and Volun-
teers," Admiral Craigie, in returning thanks for
the navy, said—lt is believed in some places that
our naval preparations are not what they ought to
be—it is thought that we do not take the lead by
adopting the most recent improvements—that we
are content to follow in the wake of other nations ;
but there are weighty reasons which may account
for this apparent inaction. Although the science
of naval architecture has made prodigious progress
within the last 20 or 30 years, yet it has not reached
that state of perfection which will enable the most
scientific builder to calculate with any certainty the
effect of the slightest alteration in the form of a
ship. If, for instance, you want a ship to carry a
certain armament, to attain a certain speed, to carry
a certain complement of men, and a proportion of
provisions, these points may be attained, but if we
require these in combination with others equally
valuable, the chances are that you fail in some one
or other. As an instance, those two ships (Warrior
and Black Prince) to which the chairman has
alluded, which are considered,and justly considered,
the finest ships in the world ; these ships have
been constructed on the most scientific principles—
they have been built by two of the first firms
in the kingdom—l may say by two of the first
firms in the world. These ships have now been
launched, and they had scarcely been afloat when
it was believed by many men of science that they
might have been vastly improved if, instead of
having what sailors call a wall-sided ship, they
had had a curve to their outward forms. It is not
to be supposed that these eminent shipbuilders
were ignorant of the fact that a curve would resist
a shot better than a flat surface ; but I presume
they took into consideration that by adopting a
curve they might sacrifice some even more impop-
taut object. Well, gentlemen, if after all these
considerations, if, after all this care in the building
of these two magnificent ships at a cost, it is said,
of one million sterling—if they should have com-
mitted a mistake of this kind, would it be prudent,
would it be right, in any Government (I care not
who they may be) to adopt rashly and hastily
every new project which floats before them ? It
would not be wise in this country to allow our
neighbours to get too far a-head of us; but on the
other hand, with the abundant resources we possess,
with the inexhaustible resources of our shipbuilders'
yards, we can afford to " lay upon our oars," and
wait with patience the result of such costly experi-
ments, and not adopt rashly and recklessly every
new idea, which may be only an imaginary im-
provement. •

IRISH CONVICT SYSTEM.

In reply to the Earl of DONOUGHMORE,

The Duke of NEWCASTLE explained that, according
to the rules of the Irish convict system, a convict trans-
ported for life was, after ten years of his conviction, libe-
rated on a ticket-of-leave, unless he had, during his deten-
tion, been guilty of any bad conduct. The rules might
require revision, but what he had stated accounted for the
liberation of Gardener, who had certainly been removed
at the instance of Government from Brokestown, and was
now in Manchester under the surveillance of the police.

medical work must be closely and narrowly scrutinised ere
an opinion can be pronounced upon it, it is highly refreshing

deserving of the very highest commendations. Dr. Yeoman

commented. It is next to impossible not still
to regard as a mistake the roundabout method
now in vogue at Calcual, by which these imperial
loans to Hindostan are reimbursed, through the
operations of Indian railway enterprise. As to Mr.
LAING'S Budget, on the other hand, upon which
we have also remarked in these columns
yet more at large than we had after-
wards occasion to remark upon this projected loan
of £4,ooo,ooo—as to Mr. LAING'S very able and
in some respects really masterly Budget, Sir
CHARLES WOOD himself last evening " admitted
that there were some discrepancies in it which it
was quite impossible to reconcile with the informa-
tion before the house," Sir CHARLES adding that
" he was more inclined to place reliance upon the
official documents, signed by all the members of the
council, than upon the speech itself." It is also
especially deserving .of note that the right
honourable baronet yesterday strongly declared
"his general confidence in the present state of Indian
finance, and stated that at that moment the balance
in the exchequer was one million sterling more than
Mr. LAING had estimated last February !" It is
only, in fact, he tells us, because of the failure of
several of the railway companies to make the pay-
ments expected of them (a nice prospect for us, Sir
HENRY WILLOUGHBY will say, in making the loan !)
that there is any necessity at all for this additional
loan of £4,000,000.

COLONIAL,

TEA.—Tho market has continued dull, and prices have
undergone no change of importance.
SuoAn.—Business has continued inactive, and lower
prices have been acoepted by holders for inferior and medium
descriptions, In the refined market, however, late quota-
tions have been maintained.
COPPEE.—Good fine qualities of Plantation Ceylon have
been in fair demand at barely late prices, and inferior
descriptions have declined Gd to is per cwt.
RlCE.—Only moderate dealings have been entered into
without any material change in values.
SALTPETRE.—The dealings have been of a very limited
character, and previous prices have been barely silprorted.
TALLOW.—No material alteration can be recorded, and
prices still tend downwards. P.Y.C., on the spot, 64s Gd,
and last three months, 52s 6d to 5`,,s per cwt,

The Communal Council of Brussels, at their
sitting on Monday, adopted, by a majority of 22 votes to

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSS3IITII'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."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

.HONG-KONG.—The stagnation of business noticed in
our last as ruling in this colony continues without any
aaa elioration, and without any immediate prospect of a better
stc.q eof things. In the meantime stocks of all descriptions
of :home manufactures continue to accumulate, and it is
oat emely probable, unless we soon have an outlet for the
sarm we shall see forced sales and lower rates than are now
cum nt.

SI3-ANGHIE.—Dates are to the 23d April. Business con-
tinue s dull, and it was difficult to effect sales at anything
like :fair prices. Fears of the insurgents fill the mind of the
trader, and restrict his operations to local wants.
London, England, 1861-06-14
