RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 26th ult.,
says :—" M. Sillem, a partner in the house of Hope,
of Amsterdam, and Mr. Baring, of London, having
arrived in this capital, negotiations were imme-
diately opened on the subject of a loan—negotia-
tions which, although carried on with activity,
have not yet led to any satisfactory result. It is
possible that an understanding may not be come
to, and that the loan, at least for the moment, will
not come to anything. The Russian Government,
in its desire to borrow money at present, is im-
pelled by the necessity of effecting a radical change
in the banking -system in Russia, and not by any
immediate deficit in its budget, or by the want of
preparing any defensive armaments. Messrs. Bar-
ing and Sillem will, I understand, remain at St.

Petersburg for ten days longer, by which time the
question of the loan must be definitely decided on.

The Grand Council of Credit which had been formed
at the Ministry of Finance, to deliberate on ques-
tions relative to the reorganisation of the banks,
being too numerous to discuss the various questions
of detail with any advantage, the Government has
established a special financial committee for that
purpose, composed of Baron Meycndorff, M. Knia-
jevitch, M. Hoffinann, and M. Tchevkine, and over
which Count Nesselrode, Chancellor of the Empire,
will preside. M. Tchevkine, however, will not for
some time be able to take part in the deliberations,
the state of his health being at the present time so
critical that his friends feel some alarm on the sub-
ject."

SARDINIA.

The Opinione of Turin of the 4th, notwithstanding
the general opinion which prevails that the mission
of Lord Cowley will be attended with some favour-
able result, has the bad faith to affirm that Austria,
fortified in Piacenza, and able when she pleases to
bring troops into the Duchies, being convinced of
war being inevitable, intends to invade Piedmont.
A letter published in that journal even goes the
length of fixing the day for the pretended invasion.

" More than 800 men," says the writer, " are every
day employed on the fortifications of Piacenza.
These works have more particularly for object to
protect, in case of need, the retreat of the Austrians.
It is stated that they are to cross the Po on the
14th, and surprise the Piedmontese army."

A Vienna letter of the 4th, in the German Jour-
nal of Frankfort, says :—" The conferences between
Lord Cowley and Count de Buol are for the mo-
ment suspended. It is stated that the Cabinet of
Vienna has made such statements on the subject
of special treaties with the different Italian States,
that his lordship has found it necessary to refer the
matter to his Government, and that a Cabinet courier
has been despatched to London to apply for fresh
instructions."
London, England, 1859-03-08

appeared that on Saturday night the prisoners and
other soldiers were drinking for some time at the
" Crystal Palace" beerhouse, in the Lower Marsh,
Lambeth, and having become excited with drink
they occasionally sallied out and grossly insulted
several respectable persons. The constable on the
beat perceiving their disposition to general and
open riot, sent to the station for assistance, and two
or three constables came. The soldiers perceiving
the approach of the constables, instantly slipped off
their belts, and, arming themselves with these for-
able weapons, rushed into the street. The first
pct of their attack was James Brown, a butcher,
was standing at hiAnaster's shop, and. the
finer Ball having rushed at him struck him a
ri.;Avnt blo" the mouth, and, as he described
himself, knociiecl him down " like a bullock." The
police came to his rescue and a desperate conflict
ensued. The soldiers slashed at every oneindiscri-
minately who came in their way, and the police
being compelled in self defence to draw and use
their staves two of the prisoners, Ball and Morley,
received some awkward knocks and cuts on their
heads. Three constables in return got most roughly
treated (185, 139, and 256 L), and appeared much
injures!, cut, and kicked. In reply to a question
from the magistrate, Sergeant Knowles said that
the outrage had lasted half ah hour, during which
the prisoners struck every one who came before
them, and he had no doubt that a number of per-.
sons had received injuries who had not yeti edm©
forward.

ANCHORS.

Mr. BENTINCK moved fora copy of the report of the
anchor committee, nominated by the Admiralty, "to deter-
mine the relative merits of different descriptions of anchors,"
dated the Ist of February, 1853 ; of contracts for anchors

STRAND THEATRE.

"Matrimonial Prospectuses" has been revived at this
house for the purpose of affording Miss Charlotte Saunders
an opportunity for the display of a talent which is as pecu-
liar as it is original. From a mere shadow she creates a
living picture, and the elaboration with which she works
out the character is remarkably striking from its truth to
nature. Giggles, the uncouth, shrewd servant girl is before
the audience, and not the actress. Every motion and every
gesticulation are suggestive of a peculiar idiosyncracy, and
the broad grin, the continual rubbing of the arms, the
angular movement, and the entire deportment, are veritable
photographs from life. Yet no vulgarity is infused into
the character, and the audience can only admire the con-
summate tact of an artist who can impart a reality and an
intention to the most commonplace and conventional farce
personage. A song, something after the style of " Villikins
and his Dinah," elicited an unanimous encore, and indeed
Miss Saunders' talent rendered amusing a piece for which
the author had done little-either by ingenuity of construc-
tion or smartness of dialogue.

At an interview, on Friday last, with the Prince
Regent of Prussia, Lord Raglan presented to his royal
highness autograph letters from her Britannic Majesty and

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA; showing why they so often appear In-
curable, when in reality they might be removed by the most
simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, 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 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.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—William Duffell, a
bootcloser, residing in Camomile-street, City, was charged
with the following unprovoked assault on a female :

Ellen Ford, of 3, Chart's-buildings, St. Martin's-lane,
whose eye bore evident proof of the brutal manner in which
sho had been assaulted, said that about 12 o'clock the pre-
vious night she was standing at the corner of Cranbourne-
street waiting for a friend, when the prisoner came up in a
ruffianly way and made use of very vile language. Not
wishing to have anything to say to him she told him to go
away, when he made use of a disgusting expression and
immediately struck her a violent blow in the face, causing
her eye to be blackened as it then appeared.
The prisoner, in a very impudent manner, asked the com-
plainant how she got her living ?

The complainant said she lived with her mother, a laun-
dress. The prisoner had asked her to forgive him, but how
could she with such an eye.

Robert Harris, of Castle-street, said he had left the
complainant but a few moments, and on coming up he heard
the prisoner abuse the complainant in a disgraceful manner,
and on her expostulating with him he struck her in the eye.
After a struggle and a chase he was secured and given into
custody.

The prisoner, in reply, asked the last witness whether
that was all that took place, but gained very little by his
question, as the witness said he also struck him on the
mouth.

Mr. Beadon said if the last witness had given the prisoner
a good thrashing he should have said he well deserved it
for giving the female such an eye as sha then had.. It was
a brutal assault.
Fined a or two months.

CHELSEA.

Last evening a public meeting was held at the
Oakley Rooms, Manor-street, Chelsea, to consider
the steps necessary to be taken to press on the
Government the claims of Chelsea to enfranchise-
ment, their present Reform Bill omitting all men-
tion of that district.

The chair was taken by Mr. T. M'CuLLAorr,
who, in opening the proceedings, stated the object
of the meeting, and observed that they must either
abandon their claims or adopt measures to press
their claims on Parliament while yet there was
time. After alluding to their good fortune in
having on the platform their two valuable county
members, Mr. Byng and Mr. Hanbury, he con-
cluded by saying that the resolutions which would
be submitted to them were so moderate that they
commended themselves to their recommendation.
Mr. ARCHBUTT moved the first resolution :

"That in the opinion of this meeting the Govern-
ment Reform Bill now before the House of Com-
mons, without on this occasion entering into any
other grounds of objection, is defective, on the dis-
tinct ground that it proposes to enfranchise many
places far inferior in all respects to Chelsea, and yet
leaves Chelsea as at present virtually unrepresented ;
and this meeting does not consider that the division
of Middlesex into two districts (of one of which
Chelsea forms part) and the giving two members to
each district, thereby increasing the county
representation, even though accompanied by the
lowering of the county franchise to the same basis
as that of the boroughs, is by any means an adequate
or satisfactory compensation for withholding dis-
tinct representatives from Chelsea."
This resolution having been seconded by Mr
RABBITS,

Mr. R. HANBURY, jun., M.P., addressed the
meeting. He said that, looking at the wealth,
population, and intelligence of Chelsea, he candidly
confessed that he thought it ought to be represented,
and they might trust in his doing his utmost to
further their claims in his place in Parliament.
Mr. BARTLETT then moved an amendment, to
the effect that the enfranchisement of Chelsea as
proposed would not be attended with any national
and local advantages, which could only be attained
by the institution of equal electoral districts.
The amendment was seconded and supported by
two working men, and then negatived by a very
large majority, after which the original resolution
was carried unanimously.
It was next agreed that a communication on the
enfranchisement of Chelsea should be addressed to
the House of Commons, and the committee be em-
powered to wait on the Government on the subject.
The Hon. Mr. BYNG, M.P., spoke to the meeting
on the first resolution, and expressed a strong
desire to see Chelsea become a metropolitan borough.
After the meeting, a Reform Association was
formed for Chelsea, and upwards of forty names
were at once enrolled.

Time was almost entirely occupied with the settlement
of the Liverpool accounts. The business of paying was
satisfactorily proceeded with, and demands were met with
a promptitude which would indicate that to the majority of
backers the recent meeting was " harmless."

For the Nottinghamshiro Handicap Gladiolus was in
strong demand, as little as 6 to. 4 being taken about him
during a portion of the afternoon; 7 to 4 was, however,
his closing figure. The Greek received feeble sup-
port at 6 to 1, while, a strong disposition
was evinced to back Flitch, but the actual
transactions in her favour w ere not numerous. The
Northamptonshire betting W£l.4 at a dead lock. Little
Agnes receded to 12 to 1 offered, and at those odds Shafto
found backers. For the Chester Cup, 9to 1 was currently
offered On the field ; 20 to 1 against Polestar was laid three
or four times. Volcano was in "great for ce" for the
Derby, and at the close of business ho was decidedly
second favourite. Gamester was advanced fro man extreme
outside price to 25 to 1, with takers. 30 to '1 was offered
against Cavendish, and 28 to 1 was taken at .out Rainbow
The "feature" of the afternoon was, however r, the advance
of Volcano, beyond this, speculation was particularly

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

OXFORD CIRCUIT, WORCESTER, March 7.
CRIMINAL COUILT.

John Southall was charged with the manslaughter
of Sarah Maria Price, at Dudley, on the 24th of
October, 1858.
Mr. Kenealy appeared for the prosecution ; Mr.
R. Kettle defended the prisoner.
Mr. Kenealy, in opening the case, stated that the
prisoner was charged with the manslaughter of a
little girl, the adopted child of his own half-brother.
The brother kept the White Rose public-house at
Dudley, and on Sunday night, the 24th of October,
the prisoner was there with his wife having supper.
While the prisoner was eating his supper he and
his wife began wrangling and quarrelling, and
being thus excited he flew into a passion and threw
the knife at his wife. The knife missed the object
intended, but unhappily, struck the poor child who
was sitting by her side, on the head. The knife
was pointed and penetrated the brain, and so caused
the poor child's death. The sad result was much
to be deplored, particularly as it appeared the pri-
soner was very fond of the child, and a few minutes
before had been fondling it.
Mr. Kettle said, he could not struggle against
the facts as opened, and he had advised the prisoner
to retract his plea and plead guilty.
Mr. Justice Crompton said there could be no
doubt that it was manslaughter.
A great number of respectable witnesses were
then examined, and gave the prisoner a generally
good character for humanity.
The prisoner himself also appeared to be much
distressed at his position.
Mr. Justice Crompton made some appropriate
observations on the conduct of the prisoner. and
then sentenced him to six calendar months' impri-
sonment.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LEICESTER CASTLE,
March 7.

Mr. Justice Erie took his seat at 9 o'clock, a.m.,
and commenced delivering the borough gaol.
Mary Weet stood charged with having, in her
evidence as a•witness, on the hearing of a certain
information against Thomas Dilks, at a petty
session for this county held within the borough,
committed wilful and corrupt peijury.
Mr. O'Brien prosecuted, and Mr. Cockle appeared
for the defendant.

The case for the prosecution imputed to the
defendant that she maliciously fabricated and wil-
fully deposed to certain circumstances whichtended
to establish against the prosecutor a charge of
having attempted to commit an abominable crime.
In addition to the necessary evidence of the false-
hood of the defendant's deposition, evidence was
adduced of threats held out by her previously to the
charge having been preferred against the prose-
cutor.

Witnesses were examined on the part of the de•
fendant for the purpose of establishing certain ma-
terial facts sworn to by her, and of showing the
probable truth of her statement.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty, with a re-
commendation to mercy. Sentenced to four years'
penal servitude.

SARDINIA.

The Opinione of Turin of the 4th, notwithstanding
the general opinion which prevails that the mission
of Lord Cowley will be attended with some favour-
able result, has the bad faith to affirm that Austria,
fortified in Piacenza, aid able when she pleases to
bring troops into the Duchies, being convinced of
war being inevitable, intends to invade Piedmont.
A letter published in that journal even goes the
length of fixing the day for the pretended invasion.
" More than 800 men," says the writer, " are every
day employed on the fortifications of Piacenza.
These works have more particularly for object to
protect, in case of need, the retreat of the Austrians.
It is stated that they are to cross the Po on the
14th, and surprise the Piedmontese army."

A Vienna letter of the 4th, in the German Jour-

FOREIGN TRADE OF DUBLIN,

Mr. VANCE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether it was the intention of Government to introduce
any general or special measure, during the present session,
which would relieve the foreign trade of Dublin from the
imposts now levied on it exclusively fer the Barbour of
refuge, at Kingstown.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
it was not intended to introduce any such measure, and he
was not aware that the port of Dublin laboured under any
grievance in reference to imposts ; but the matter was
under consideration, with a view to the revision of those
laws.

At our corn exchange this morning there was a fair
attendance of the town and country trade, but the busi-

Beans a moderate show, and previous currencies are barely
maintained.

LAMBETH.

Last evening a very large meeting of the inhabi-
tants of Lambeth was held at Wilcocke's Assembly
Rooms, Westminster-bridge-road, for the purpose
of taking into consideration the question of man•
hood suffrage. J. P. Murrough, Esq., was called
to the chair.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS said if a bill came into the
house in favour of manhood suffrage it should have
his cordial support. (Cheers.) The bill now
brought forward had been erroneously called a
Reform Bill, but it was not one at all, and he had
made up his mind to oppose it from beginning to
end. (Cheers.)
Mr. W. ROUPELL then addressed the assembly,
and said, as he was borne to the hustings on the
shoulders of the working classes, it would be a
dereliction of his duty if he failed to complain
of the bill which excluded them from the fran-
chise. Ho felt assured that no portion of the
British constitution would suffer from reliance
on the people. He concluded by declaring his
uncompromising advoCacy of the- complete en-
franchisement of the working classes of the king-
dom. Both hon. members then left the meeting to
go the house, amidst loud cheering.
Mr. ERNEST JONES moved, " That in the opinion
of this meeting any measure of reform with a less
extension of the franchise than registered manhood
suffrage would be unsatisfactory to the people gene.
rally, and a great injustice to all those who would
be excluded."

Mr. M. CULVERWELL seconded the resolution,
which was carried unanimously amidst tremendous
cheering.
The petition embracing manhood suffrage, ballot,
&c., having been adopted, the. proceedings ter-
minated.

ATROCIOUS ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.---John
Clancy, a melancholy-looking young man, who said he was
in the employ of the Trinity House Corporation on the
river, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with com-
mitting a cowardly and violent assault on Henry Marsh, a
police-constable, No. 269 K..
The policeman who had sustained considerable injury,
said he was on duty in Collingwood-street, Rateliff, last
night, and saw the prisoner and two other men approach-
ing. He suspected no harm, and was about passing the
three men, when the prisoner suddenly and without
provocation struck him 'a heavy blow with his clenched
fist, and knocked him down. He seized the prisoner,
and had a severe scuffle with him upon the ground.
on which the other men attempted to rescue the prisoner,
and tore the hair from his head. Several handsful of hair
were dragged from his head. He called out " murder,"
and another policeman came to his assistance. The pri-
soner then ran away in the direction of the Commercial-
road, and his companions towards Brook-street. Another
constable stopped the prisoner and took him into custody.
In answer to Mr. Yardley, the complainant said the
prisoner never spoke a word when he knocked him down.
The prisoner said the charge against him was all false.
He called no witness, and the charge being fully sustained,
Mr Yardley said the assault was cowardly and un-
provoked. He sentenced the prisoner to fourteen days'
imprisonment.

THE SCOTCH REFORM BILL—We have good
authority for stating that, in the event of the present Go-
vernment surviving to introduce ?. Reform Bill for Scot-
land, that bill will propose the giving of a second member
for Dundee. It is also contemplated to give the city of
Aberdeen and county of Lanark each one additional mem-
ber.—Dundee Advertiser.

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA; showing why they so often appear In-
curable, when in reality they might be removed by the most
simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R C.S.E.,

&nd 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 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.

THE PAPAL STATES.

A letter from Rome of the Ist, in the Debats,
says :—" The Ambassadors of France has repre-
sented to the Government here that the Emperor
would see with pleasure, under certain conditions
freely accepted by both sides, the Legations return
under the authority of the Pope. They might, for
example, he said, retain the Administration which
they have given themselves, and which appears to
satisfy them, and pay the same tribute and taxes as
those which existed at the moment of the de facto
separation. It is probable that Bologna would sub-
mit to these conditions if they were recommended
by friendly Powers ; and in that case the Pope
would keep a governor at Bologna to prove his
high suzerainty, but everything else would be dis-
tinct and separate. The Ambassador has also
recommended reforms in the rest of the States
of the Church, but he has done so in terms
which, from their perfect moderation, cannot leave
the Holy Father to suppose that ho does net enjoy
full liberty. It appears that the basis of the pro-
posed reforms will be the project of 1857. It was
added by the Ambassador that the military occupa-
tion of Rome by a French division must necessarily
cease, but nothing definitive was said as to the period
at which it should do so; it is, however, believed
that it will be in the course of the coming year, and
perhaps in the first six months of it. The Holy
Father must then prepare a serious military force
and be supported by the opinion of his own subjects,
for Austria will not intervene, and if by chance a
third Power should attempt to meddle in the affairs
of Italy, and if Piedmont, as an Italian State, should
wish to prevent it from doing so, France would
probably see no sufficient motive for creating an
obstacle."
