" 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. 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.

A letter from Malta, dated August 20, says : Her Majesty's gunboat Wanderer arrived on the 18th instant from Constantinople. She brings in telligence that Admiral Mundy's squadron is about 150 miles from the island of Malta, and that the Mediterranean fleet, under the command of Admi ral A. Fanshawe, may be looked for to-morrow or the day following. Letters from the fleet mention a serious outbreak of a rather mutinous character having occurred on board the Admiral's ship Marlborough, at Castel lamare, Naples. We learn that a' great number of the crew took part it; but no warrant or petty officers, and that the mutineers not only rolled the shot along the deck, but actually threw them at the officer in charge. The Admiral turned up the hands, and we hear addressed the malcontents, and thus order was restored, he having ordered them to their different messes. The men afterwards put their alleged grievances in writing, and it is said that out of several statements drawn up there were many different versions of their complaints. It is reported that Lord F. Kerr shed tears at the con duct of the men, and said he would rather have been shot than have witnessed such a disgrace to the leading ship of the Mediterranean fleet. Five of the ringleaders are in irons, and will no doubt be tried by court-martial. On the 13th inst., Mr. Edward Simpson, pur veyor to the forces, died after a very short illness. He was buried with military honours, the band and funeral party being found by the 21st Fusil'ers. Mr. Simpson was only 24 years of age. Her Majesty's ship Urgent left for Corfu on the 18th with stores. She took a great number of passengers, chiefly officers of the regiments of the garrison, who will return in her in the course of next week. The Urgent will thence proceed to . England. Her Majesty's frigate Liffey arrived from England and Gibralter on the 15th inst., and is still in port. Her Majesty's frigate Euryalus came into port from Palermo on the 18th. Her Majesty's ship Caradoc proceeded to Palermo on the 19th. The Intrepid relieved the gunboat Wanderer at Constantinople. The Fulminante, French screwgunboat, arrived from Dulsigno on the 14th, and left for Marseilles on the 17th. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Indus arrived on the 14th from Southampton, and continued her voyage to Alexandria the same day. The Nepaul arrived on the same date, and also went on to Alexandria. The Panther, with Bombay mails, arrived on the 16th, as did the Behar ; the former proceeded to Marseilles and the latter to South ampton. The Alhambra proceeded to Corfu with the lonian mails on the 15th, and is expected to day from the lonian Islands. The French packet Borysthene arrived from Marseilles on the 17th inst., with Paris dates to the 13th ; but she brought no English mails. The following steamers came in during the week :—French—Hellespont and Hy daspe ; British—Arcadia, Milan, Scamander, Tweedside, and South-Western. An Italian steamer, called the Corriere Siciliano, arrived from Syracuse on the 15th inst., and left for the same place last night. I regret to state that the line of telegraph cable between Malta and Corfu has been ruptured since the 14th inst. The officers of the company have experienced many serious difficulties in attempting to restore communication between Malta and Cag liari. I hear that the company are about to fit out another steamer for the purpose of repairing the cable. (From the Malta Observeriof August 19.) - _ Gozo.—During last Sunday and Monday this island was visited by several thousands of persons (about 7,000 or 8,000) from Malta, chiefly of the lower classes, who took the opportunity of cele brating the Gozitan.festa of Santa Maria, and pay ing a visit to the fabled Island of Calypso. The concourse of persons was indeed unprecedented, owing to the great facilities and convenient rates offered by the steamer South-Western, and tugs Bulldog and Dragon, in the conveyance of passen gers. The result of this festa proves that the Maltese are excessively fond of excursion trips, and would never fail to form merry parties if suit able occasions were always chosen by the owners of the steamers for such trips. The usual races and display of fireworks went off very successfully, to the great delight of the Gozitans and their guests. Standing on an eminence above Rabato, the town in the centre of the island, there is a pic turesque castle, which, after being destroyed in dif ferent wars was, we learn, rebuilt and fortified in the last century. Th e inhabitants, before the coast was protected by towers, were obliged to retire every night into the castle for fear of pirates, who frequently landed in the night and carried off all those who had imprudently slept in tho country. The first fort built on the coast was the Migiarro, at the landing place, which IN as begun in 1605 at the expense of the Grand Master Garzes ; the bailly of Chambray began one at his own expense in 1749, but not being finished before his death, the order had it completed and gave it his name. But all the fortifications of the island are at pre sent in a very dilapidated state, and the authori ties can have no intention whatever of defending Gozo against a foreign enemy. This island is generally very fertile ; the pastures are good ; and they grow excellent fruit. The air is very fine, and the country pleasingly varied ; the gardens round the hills of Nadur and Seiahrer, watered by different springs, are the pleasantest in the island. The edifice which bears the name of " Giant's Tower" is certainly of great antiquity. The custom of building with immense stones without cement is generally attributed to primitive nations. Some of the stones which form the Giant's Tower are 13 feet in length and six in breadth. Ciantar mentions a gigantic bone which served as the transversal beam of a door, a grinding tooth an inch in length, taken from a skull and sent to the Commander Grimaldi ; and many other enormous bones havebeen found at different times. In 16580ne of immense magnitude was brought from Africa as a present to the Grand Master, who sent it to Pope Alexander VII. To prove this gigantic race is not totally extinct, Ciantar gives us an account (in his time) of a young Gozitan of extraordinary stature and strength. He was by trade a mason, and used, in house-building, to carry stones four feet long up the ladder, and could lift from the ground a bronze mortar which four men could scarcely move. One day two bailiffs wanted to seize and drag him to prison. " Gently, gently," says he, "we will go directly," and grasping them both, one under each arm, like a couple of goats, he walked off towards the sea. The poor bailiffs, expecting to be buried in its waves, begged for mercy and forgiveness, and promising not to molest him again, he released them. The Grand Master Manoel wished him to enter his service, but he chose rather to live by his profession, and in his native island. A few years afterwards, having exerted himself too much in raising a weight which he thought very heavy, but which was comparatively light for his strength, it affected his breast, and brought on a mortal com plaint. As contrarieties illustrate each other, Ciantar, to confront these giants of other times, produces six dwarfs, who, though advanced in lif e , did not exceed the height of three feet. Th ree o f them (two boys and a girl) were children of the same parents, and the mother had alternately three other sons of ordinary stature. Drydone in an epistolary account of his travels says—" As Gozo is supposed to be the celebrated Island of Calypso, you may believe we expected something very fine ; but we were disappointed. It must either be greatly fallen off since the time she inhabited it, or the Archbishop of Cambray, as well as Homer, must have flattered greatly in their painting. We looked as we went along the coast for the grotto of the goddess, but could see nothing that resembled it. Neither could we observe those verdant banks eternally covered with flowers ; nor those lofty trees forever blossoming, that lost their heads in the clouds, and afforded a shade to the sacred baths of her nymphs. We saw, indeed, some nymphs ; but as neither Calypso nor Eucharis seemed to be of the number, we paid little atten- THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1859. REPORT ON THE RAILwArs OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. The elaborate annual Report on the Railways of the United Kingdom, pre sented by Captain Douglas Galton to the Board of Trade, furnishes all the leading financial and working details of each company, together with the aggregate totals of the complete system. These statistics may be condensed and arranged in three series, as follows : I. The total capital authorised to be raised by each company respectively in England and Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. The proportion of this capital actually raised 1. By ordinary shares. 2. By preference and guaranteed shares. 3. By loans. The total capital actually raised by each company, the total for each division of the kingdom, and the aggregate for the entire kingdom. The annual preferential charges on each line for interest on preferential and guaranteed shares and loans, and the totals of the whole. The gross traffic receipts. The working expenses. The total of working expenses and preference charges. The net income available for dividend. The first and second series are given below (from an abstract made by Mr. John Grinsted), and the third will be inserted on another occasion. From these it appears that the total capital authorised for railway purposes amounted at the end of last year to £346,408,287, of which 53i- per cent. was in ordinary shares, 211 per cent. in preference and guaranteed shares, and 251 per cent. in loans. The total sum of money authorised to be raised for the construction of railways, open and remaining to be opened, on the 31st of December last, was £392,682,755, of which £325,375,507 had been raised—viz., £181,837,781 by ordinary share capital, £61,854,547 by preference shares, and the remainder, £81,683,179, by loans, leaving £67,307,248 to be raised.

Price 30s.—Spectacle Lenses of the greatest transparent power. The great advantage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation—can see with those lenses of a much less magnifying power, and they do not re quire the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Persons can be suited at the most remote part of the world by sending one of the glasses out of their spectacles in a letter, and stating the distance from the eyes they can read small print with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by stating their age.

In order to test the superiority of Major Rhodes's tents in the greater ease and quickness with which they can be pitched and struck, in comparison with the ordinary tents hitherto used by the Government, some trials have just been made at Chatham, in the presence of several of the officers attached to the staff, at the garrison, and the medi cal officers of the military hospitals, in order that the board of officers appointed by the Duke of Cam bridge might embody the results in their report of Major Rhodes's inventions. The first trial was made with one of the ordinary hospital tents now standing in the grounds at the garrison hospital, 15 troops of the hoe, who were accustomed to that description of tent, being ordered to strike it. This they succeeded in doing in exactly 20 minutes, which' was considered to be a very short time, the hospital tent being an unusually large one, and having about 180 ropes and pegs to support it. The same nnmber of men were then ordered to strike Major Rhodes's curvilinear hospital tent, which is somewhat larger than the Government hospital marquee. Notwithstanding, however, that the ar rangements of this tent were quite new to the men, they succeeded in striking it in exactly 7 minutes, or nearly one-third of the time occupied in removing the hospital marquee. This portion of the trial was pronounced very satisfactory, and it was then pro posed that the same men should pitch the tents. This was done, but the time occupied by the troops in erecting. the two tents was equal, there being no decided advantage in favour of either, although there can be no doubt that, after any number of men have pitched Major Rhodes's tents once or twice, they will be able to accomplish that opera tion in less than half the time now occupied. It should, however, be borne in mind that it is of far greater advantage that troops should be able to strike their tents rapidly as a camp is generally, of necessity, broken up with greater haste than it is formed. Some additional trials in pitching and striking tents will be made before the report of the board of officers is finally agreed upon. The detachment of non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Engineers employed in the tri gonometrical survey of Great Britain, who have been for some time stationed at Brompton barracks, Chatham, for the purpose of acquiring a know ledge of the Lancaster rifle, having completed their instruction, have left head-quarters and pro ceeded to their various stations to recommence the survey, which has for a short time been interrupted. The number of the Royal Engineers who have left Chatham is 12 non-commissioned officers and 29 men, under the command of Lieut. the Hon. Le Poer Trench, R.E., who proceeds to Southampton, which station he will, however, leave for Ayr, in order to superintend the rifle instruction of the Royal Engineers employed in Scotland, instead of sending them to Chatham. On the occasion of the surveying detachments being inspected, Colonel Sand am expressed his approbation of their con duct since they had been at head•quarters, during which time, out of the four detachments sent to head-quarters, only one single man had been brought before him for any offence. A large number of gunners belonging to the Royal Artillery, who are on the eve of terminating their registered period of 12 years in the corps, have signified their desire to resign the service. Many hundreds of that class of men now in India are about to return home, vast numbers of whom have written to their wives at Woolwich, announc ing their speedy arrival, and have cautioned them on no condition to accept the Government proposi tion of joining their husbands in India, as they have no intention of entering the second term of service, which would entitle them to a retiring pension. When batteries or detachments of artillery are now placed under orders for foreign service, especially the East or West Indies, it rarely happens that men whose period of service is about to expire express an intention of extending their service, which they consider is not sufficiently appreciated, as the va cancies created by their discharge are filled up by recruits, at an equal rate of pay. Twenty-seven gunners belonging to Capt. Milward's field battery (R.A.), stationed at the camp on Woolwich-common, whose term of service will shortly expire, have also intimated their intention of retiring from the army. A few days ago they were severally questioned on the subject by Capt. Milward, and were reproached for their unwise decision of sacrificing 12 years of highly commended service in the corps, as by re maining the second term of 9 years they would be entitled to a permanent pension of Bd. per day for life. The men replied that the army held out no prospects to induce them to continue, and that bei ng in the prime of life and enjoyment of good health, they were desirous of looting elsewhere for em ployment, and hoped they should obtain a more profitable return in civil life. Many of these men are experienced mechanics, and since their enlist• meat they have considerably increased their know ledge in their various handicrafts, and are besides well versed in the art of gunnery. The inconve nience - which the loss of these men inflicts on the service is consequently of great importance.

This ship, now anchored at the Motherbank, and forming one o f . the squadron in attendance upon. his Imperial Highness the Grand D u ke Constan tine, was built in America for the Russian Govern ment from the design of the late Mr. Webb, the builder of the celebrated yacht America and the frigate Niagara, of which latter vessel she is stated to be an improved copy. The General Admiral differs from the Niagara, inasmuch as the latter only carried, or is intended to carry, a few guns of great size and calibre, while the former i s p i erce d to carry 72 guns, and has actually 62 mounted on board. The first impression, on view of the ship a t a distance of three or four miles, with her hugeblack hull, her upright stem and cutwater, bare of head, knee, or other ornament than a slender double headed eagle placed close up under the bowsp irit, . and doing duty for a figure-head, and her elliptic stern without quhrter galleries or moulding—the first impression all this creates on the mind is, that you see one of the huge cotton ships, which are at times seen at Liverpool loaded with the produce of the cotton plantations of the Southern States. As you, however, approach nearer to her you discover her double row of ports (which appear to be very close together) in two long lines ; but it is only when close to the ship that the eye can take in her noble proportions, the lofty side, the beautiful for mation of her bow, which, though rather naked looking, from the absence of head, knee-rails, &c.,. yet for that very reason is free from all superfluous weight—" all for use, and nothing for ornament' —and is evidently suited to enable the ship to ren der a good account of herself when steaming in the teeth of a gale in mid ocean. On ascending the vessel's side and stepping down from her bulwarks to her upper deck the visitor is struck with a feel ing of a" want of room ;" the deck—with the guns in the gangways, a cabin built on deck amidships, and other matters—has a crowded appear ance notwithstanding the ship's great size, and you do 'not get any clear view of her quarter-deck battery, for although she carries guns along the whole length of her deck they do not show themselves with any effect. The most prominent objects on this deck are the two Dahl gren pivot guns, one forward and the other aft; they are of 101-inch bore, and weigh each about 15,4001 b. Englgh ; the carriages are made of ma hogany, and both gun and carriage, with the metal work attached, are finished in a very superior man ner; these two guns are ev id en tl y t h e grea t s i g ht s of the ship. The remainder of her armament on this deck consists of 22 60-pounder shell guns of 71-in. bore, mounted on mahogany carriages without gear trucks, similar to the main deck gun carriages on board the Mersey. For the better working of the guns in the gangways the booms are stowed aloft on the gallows, after the manner of a merchant ship. This deck is also fitted with hawse pipes and. capstan, the latter fitted with Brown's patent. Two of Francis's patent metallic lifeboats are carried on the booms. Over the screw well are erected on a framework strong cross beams fitted with sheaves for reeving the gear for hoisting the screw when. necessary. On descending the roomy hatchway by the handsomely finished ladder to the main deck the same feeling of a crowded deck strikes the ob server, and you again miss that splendid sweep of the ship's battery of guns fore and which fo - rms so prominent a feature on board an English first class frigate. On this deck are 36 60-pounders of 74-in. bore, similar to the upper deck, and also fitted w th carriages on the same plan, with two 30- pounders for bow guns. The dispart sights of the guns are fitted contrarywise to the English method. Each gun is furnished with its handspike with du plex rollers, wood: i knees to the ship's side between the ports, plated with iron. All sponge and rammer heads are keyed on to the staffs ; stands of drums are placed near the main hatchway, also a field piece with a very light and beautifully-finished iron carriage. The captain's after cabins on this deck are of good. space—placed fore and aft in three com partments, in one of which hangs an engraving of his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constan . tine. On the lovv - er deck the absence of mess tables, stools, and gear gives it a strange appearance, when remembering the prominent position such matters occupy in an English ship. In the place usually occupied by mess tables runs round the ship a range of lockers and sailbins, &c., where the men's bags, &c., are kept ; these are about 4 feet in height and 6 feet in breadth. On the ship's side at the back of these lockers are hung the small-arms of the crew; hooks for hanging their hammocks are fixed to the beams of both main and lower decks. The officers' wardroom is very large, and well but plainly fitted, the deck covered with a handsome oil-cloth and spa cious state rooms as officers' bedrooms. The whole of the wood and metal work throughout the ship is finished in a very superior and artistic manner. Her engines we did not visit, but were informed that they are of 880-horse power, and the average speed. of the ship 121 knots. H er length between perpen diculars was also stated, in answer to our inquiries, to be 325 ft., or 25ft. longer than the Mersey. The height 'tween decks we found to be 6ft. 4in., mea suring from the under part of the beams down to the deck. The metal stanchions on her main deck are fitted with screw heads for raising or depressing the beams of the upper deck. The height of her midship port from its sill to the edge of the copper is 9ft. 6in., and thence to the water's edge 2ft. Bin.; in all 12ft. tin. ; but, taking into calculation the small amount of coals she has on board, and 10 guns short of her complement, she will most likely, when she has all her weights on board, carry her midship ports 10ft. bin. from the water. As a summary of our visit to the General Admiral, we may remark that it appeared to us that her long sharp bow, with its bold sheer, and lofty as that of a line-of-battle ship, her plain serviceable stern, with quarters well out of the water, and her fine run, giving free ad mission of the water to her screw, offered so many points upon which we might advantageously nn prove the construction of our Merseys and Or landos, and more especially with reference to the formation of the fore part of those vessels. Inboard the comparison went the contrary way, and the General Admiral's upper and main decks, which appeared crowded with " notions," offered but a poor contrast to the Mersey's, with her splendid battery of 8 and 10-inch. guns. The u tmost courtesy is shown by the officers of the ship in conducting strangers round and giving the= every information, and we must not omit to state that our guide informed us that the ship had been but a short time in their hands, and. that she was not yet in that order it was intended she should be. As we were pulling away from the ship at the conclusion of our visit the Mersey came down under steam from Spithead and passed close round the General Admiral, when again the vision of the " huge cotton ship" became manifest to the mind, the Mersey improving wonderfully in appearance as a man-of-war the closer her proximity became to her dark rival. MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY. Some excitement was created at the Midland Railway station, Leeds, on Wednesdaym en o t r i nin: uatin gentleman Bradford,motion first-class aemnia in the discovery of the body of a new-born male child, under circumstances of g rave suspicion.

He looked out of the window and called to the porters that there was a parcel in the carriage, but the train was already out of the station, andit was too late to leave the parcel behind. On sum mination he observed that it was addressed to a pentleman in London, and thinking that it might be valuable, he determined to take it home with him, and deliver it the next morning, on his return. to Leeds, to Mr. Chamberlain, the superintendent at the Wellington station. He, therefore, on reach ing the Kirkstall station, took charge of the parcel, and removed it to his home. The next morning he brought it back to Leeds and delivered it to Mr. i ‘ e ‘ i f u e u e s l" te of m th r e . Chamberlain.

The coroner, however, was communicated with, and. he at once ordered a postmortem examination to be made, and will open the inquest this morning. The case is involved, as is usual in such instances, in a rood deal of mystery.—Leeds Mercury.
