" 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 ♦arious 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.

An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readilybe distinguished —a point of great importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite.

The target is composed of iron plates and compressed cotton, with an outer facing of stout plank, and is supposed to represent a portion of a ship's side. Strenuous exertions continue to be made by the Admiralty officials in Liverpool in persuading men to join the Royal Navy. During the past week a neat screw steam yacht, tender to the 60 gun block ship Hastings, has been daily cruising in the Mersey and along the line of docks, within hailing distance of the piers and landing stages, having on board a band of musicians, who loudly appeal to Jack's patriotism through the popular airs of " Rule Britannia," " Hearts of Oak," &c. In a conspicuous position on the yacht's main rigging is placed a large painted canvas placard, on which are described in bold letters the terms of the bounty. Though the volunteering goes on to a fair extent the proportion of able seamen is not so great as might be expected. Capt.

WOOD ON POLITICAL PARTIES After the official declaration of the poll for the West Riding, at Wakefield, on Thursday last, the newly-elected members (Sir J. W. Ramsden and Mr. F. Crossley) and a large party of th e i r Lib era l suppor speechesters took wereluncheondelivered. eli t i o ed. together, after which several In the course of the proceedings. Sir CHARLES WOOD gave "The Literal Electors of the West Riding," and was loudly cheered. e congratulated them on their victory, and expressed his conviction; that the gentlemen they had chosen would faithfully represent the united opinions of the West Riding. (Cheers.) He congratulated them on having escaped the mongrel state of having one Yellow and one Blue, and thus neutralizing the voice of their representatives in Parliament. (Hear, hear.) He congratulated them on having escaped being represented by one who, if he represented them as he did history on S irday, would repre sent them most unsatisfactorily. (Cheers.) Their right hon. opponent taunted Sir John Rarasien with gathering his information from books it t to occurrences which took place when he was a child, but he (Sir Charles Wood) was prepared to say that Sir John showed a more accurate knowledge of those events than the right honourable gentleman himself. (Hear, hear.) Sir John was right in going back to events . which occurred before his birth, because he wished to identify himself with the great principles of the Liberal party—principles which had been held by a Milton, a Morpeth, a Goderich, and now by a Ramsden and a Crossley—(cheers) —those glo-. rious principles which had animated the breasts of the Liberal party, in the kingdom from the time of the Revolution downwards. (Cheers.) Sir John was right in identifying himself with the prin ciples which they had held, advocated, and would carry to still further triumphs in the future. (Cheers.) Ho must confess that he was astonished at the his tory which they heard on the hustings. (Hear, hear.) It was his fate to enter Parliament at a time of great importance, and one ch. votes he gave was for the first alteration in the old corn laws. The second vote he gave was for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. (Cheers.) There was no important measure since that time in , which he had not borne a humble part. (Hear.) He spoke, therefore, not of what he had read, but of what he had seen, in relation to those great , measures of civil and religious freedom which had been accomplished by the efforts of the Liberal party. (Hear, hear.) There were also the eman cipation of the slaves, and the removal of those shackles upon commerce which were struck off at the last moment by a Tory who abjured his prin ciples, but which removal had been advocated by the Liberal party under much more unfavourable circumstances, and who had borne the heat and labour of the day. (Hear.) There was no credit due to a man who passed that at the last moment which he had opposed all his life, and that not from a sense of duty, but in the one case from fear of civil war in Ireland, and in the other from the dread of famine. (Cheers.) Well, they had now returned two gentlemen who had been identified from their youth upward with those great prin ciples which they as Liberals maintained. (Cheers.) They need fear no backslidings on their part; they would advocate their principles, and maintain them at all hazards ; they would not wait until the tide turned in their favour, but under adverse circum stances, as well as properous ones, would maintain the principles which Liberals now held in com mon. (Cheers.) He congratulated them on the answer they had given to the appeal of the Govern ment. (Cheers.) When defeated on the Reform bill, Government appealed to the country to reverse the decision of the House of Commons. Their answer, at least, could not be misunderstood. (Cheers.) The Government were anxious to escape from the issue which the decision of the House of Commons raised. They said they did not appeal to the country on that bill, but o n th e merits of the Government.GGovern men everin e t on such ( I - I e ar, h ea r) . Well, let them weigh the grounds. There were three measures of importance which they brought before the house, and what was the result ? There was, first, the India Biil, which was rejected with con tempt and ridicule—(hear, hear)—next they brought in a Church-rate Bill, which satisfied nobody, and it was thrown out—(hear. hear)—the third measure was the Reform Bill, of which he would say nothing but this, that if it had been passed they would have been better without the Reform Bill of 1832. (Cheers.) Did it ever happen to any Government in this country, or in the world, that upon three great questions their measures would be so ill-con sidered, sq ill-calculated to meet with the approval of the people, that every one of them failed ? (Cheers.) Before the dissolution they were told that the Government ought to bekept in power, because there was only one man who could maintain the peace of Europe, and that was Lord Malmesbury. (Laughter.) IVell, the voice of England in Parlia ment, which might have had some weight, was silenced by the dissolution, and within 10 days war was declared. (Cheers.) Did they approve the appointments of the Government when they put into a high judicial situation a man who knew little or nothing of law, having only held a clerkship in an office, and the very mention of which appoint inent caused him to give it up ? (Loud cheers.) Did they approve the manner in which a great depart ment over which he had once the honour of presiding was made the arena of political jobbery? (Cheers.) These were probably not the grounds on which the . Government app ea l e d t o th e coun t r y, b u t th ey were ' at least the facts most patent to all men, and he congratulated the electors of the West Riding on the answer which they had given, by sending two men who would say, " Forbearing have we been, long suffering have we been, a fair trial have we given you, but your own acts are the strongest condemnation which could be passed upon any Government." (Loud cheers.) Let the Government take it which wa y th e y lik e d ; they had asked the constituency of the West Riding what they thought of the Reform Bill, and what they thought of the Government. (Hear.) There could be no doubt as to the answer. (Cheers.) They rejected the one and condemned the other. (Loud cheers.) Before he sat down he would allude to one other topic to which reference had already been made—namely, the means of future victory. (Cheers.) They had now two members, as they ought always to have had. Why had they two? Because they were united. (Cheers.) He had worked in these West Riding elections for many years, and one thing upon which he prided himself more than another was that he had contributed something towards bringing about a reunion of their party. (Cheers.) Had his advice been taken there never would have been any schism, and he trusted that past experience would teach them that union was strength. (Hear, hear.) They ought to have men connected with the two great interests in the Riding, because the wealth, the intelligence, the importance of the Riding depended equally upon both, and he was proud to see that they had now two such representatives; (Cheers.) He was proud of it, because those gentlemen would express the united opinion of the Riding, and not of one section alone. (Hear, hear.) He was as glad to see one as he was to see the other—one was his neighbour, the other had lately- been his col league, and willingly and gladly did he trust both or either of them with the advocacy of those prin ciples which he professed in common with that assembly. (Cheers.) They must, however, remem ber that great as was their victory, so would be the exertions of their enemies to retrieve their defeat. (Hear, hear.) The Tories - would, no doubt, now attend to the register more than they had done, and if the union of the Liberal party was to be cemented by future success they must be even still more active in watching the registration. (Cheers.) Mr. Crossley said that in a neighbouring county the Liberals had lost the re presentation because they had neglected the register, and that here they had won because they had at tended to the register. (Hear, hear.) It must not now be neglected, and if they only worked \ for the future as they had worked in the past, not forget ting their experience, depend upon it the next election, and the elections as far as he could look 'forward to, would be like the present, and that the constituency would not be disgraced by a divided representation, but that they would have their two members going to Parliament to give expression to the opinions of the vast majority of the electors and inhabitants, to declare that freedom should be their watchword, and progress and peace their greatest glory. (Cheers.) He gave them " The Rice - tors of the West Riding." (Renewed cheering.) • Mr. HARRISON, of Wakefield, returned thanks on behalf of the electors. 2'USCANI. FLORENCE, MAY The Provisional GoTernment has this morning resigned its authority to the Sardinian Minister, C. Boncompagni. The address which they have issued to Tuscany appears to me worthy of being reproduced in extenso. It is as follows " Tuscans,—The Provisional Government has at WY .0 length accomplished its duty, and to-day transmits its power to the Commissioner of King 'Victor Em manuel. Let Tuscany be th e j u d ge wether it has satisfactozily discharged the difficult task which the country committed to it in one of those solemn moments in which, after vain supplication, the peo ple raise aloud their voice and command. The Provisional Government, the necessary result of the events of the 27th of April, obedient to the cry of a national war, which had moved all hearts on that memorable day, was bound above all to procure arms and closely connect itself with the magnani mous King who had raised up the bulwark of the independence of Italy. If he were unable to ac cept the dictatorship on the terms under which it., was offered, Tuscany can nevertheless feel confident . ' in the thought that her arms, united to the army of Italy, will follow as supreme chief the King who unsheathes the sword for their common country, while the State, under his protection, and directed by a Commissioner named by him, will maintain its existence, that it may preserve itself intact for whatever destinies may fall to its lot in the future organization of Italy. Tuscans ! pre-eminently arduous was the charge of the Provisional Government in a country like our own, without in stitutions and without any authority that could command respect ; where everything fell with the supreme power, whose only object was to suffice for all; and it is owing to your unanimous and spon taneous concurrence if success has crowned our common efforts. " Thanks to the people, who in the greatest com motions kept themselves unstained by a single act of violence, and who, ere their legitimate wishes were obtained, returned to their daily habits of labour. Thanks to our armed force, who the moment it found itself beneath the national banner returned to itnanks, and showed to all the senti ment which moved it in its protest against auy separation from the people, of whom it felt itself the strongest arm. "Tuscans, the Provisional Government takes leave of you in its belief that you will continue to preserve the character you have hither displayed. The fat? of Italy is brinedecided en the banks of the Ticino and the o; there let your looks be turned, there let your vows and hopes be directed. He is a traitor to his country who in so marvellous a concord of will and act should utter a word of division or endeavour to stifle with the spirit of party this sacred enthusiasm. The 27th of April, on the breaking out of the national war, you openly declared for Italy and Independence.' Do not falsify these solemn promises, made in the sight of Italy and Europe, and this will be a satisfaction to the Provisional Government that is now giving way to a more stable regime, that it has opened a path in which you can advance with courageous virtue, —fulfilling your duty as citizens, and acting up to your dignity as freemen. " CAV. ÜBALDINO PERUZZI. " Avv. VINCENZO MALENCIIINI. " MAGG. ALESSANDRO DANZINI." " Florence, May 11, 1839." Side by side with this is posted up the following address of the Sardinian Minister : " Tuscans, after the disasters which our country suffered in common in 1849, your hopes turned to Vic tor Emmanuel, who alone upheld the Italian banner. When the Prince who reigned in Tuscany, sooner than adopt the wishes of his nation, had abandoned the State, the Provisional Government in your name invited the King Victor Emmanuel to assume, dur ing the war, the dictatorship of this beautiful part of Italy. The King, seconding - in substance your desires, preferred the adoption of a more modest form, and, assumed, with the supreme command of the army, the protectorate of Tuscany, with the in tention of maintaining intact all its rights, and with the sole object of providing for the emergencies of war, defending public order, and carrying out all those public acts which are required by the urgent necessities of the State. He has thought_ fit; o commit to me the task of representing him among you. This lofty task I assume with a mind that trembles at the difficulties of the charge, but secure in the consciousness that I am fulfilling an obliga tion to our common country, and in the firm desire of assisting that Tuscany, so dear to all Italians, from the part she has taken in the history of our civilisation—dearer still to me from the goodwill you have been pleased to show me. The meritorious citizens who have discharged the duties of a Pro visional Government have rendered easy the accom plishment of my task by those acts which have repaired the gravest consequences of the reaction which has taken place in your country. A stranger to the parties which have risen in Tuscany, I shall refrain from meddling with qlestions of political order, which will find a more opportune place at the moment when Tuscany shall possess those liberties of _which she has been unjustly deprived, and of which she has shown herself still more worthy from the wonderful demeanour she has displayed in these last events. My administration, then, shall have one aim, that of facilitating the conduct of the present war, and with this object the maintenance of order in the State, which at the termination of the war shall be restored to you as a sacred deposit by his Majesty . King Victor Emmanuel, whose oyal conduct is the object of the admiration of Italy and the world. Tuscans, ye have nobly contributed to prove that Italy is worthy of that independ ence for which the King of Sardinia is in arms, aided by his august ally the French Empe ror. Continue to give proofs of this discipline, of this moderation, of this obedience to the laws and to the magistrates, which must secure this supreme blessing to Italy and to Tuscany, for ever freed from foreign influence. I on my part assure you that I have nothing so much at heart as to carry out t ‘ h , e c. in p te o n N ti c o o n xi s p o s t GN th i e , K co i m ng mi a s n si d on to er me E r x it tr y a o o u r r_ confidencedinianres for rpeKraing co-operating v f i o c r t t o h r eg m oo m d a o n f u t el his d noble portion of Italy. the War of Independence. " Florence, May 11." The names of the Ministry appointed by the Commissioner Extraordinary are as follows :—II Barone Bettino Ricasoli, Minister of th e I n t er i or ; Il Marchese Cosimo Ridolfi, Minister of Public Instruction ; Enrico Poggi, Minister of Justice ; Raffaello Busacca, Minister of Finance ; Avv. Vincenzo Malenchini, Minister of War. The Marchese Cosimo Ridolfi is to act, provisionally as Minister of Foreign Affairs ; as Minister of Eccle siastical Affairs, Enrico Poggi, also provisionally. All public acts and decrees of the tribunals are to be published in the name of the Tuscan Govern ment. The standard of the army and navy is to be the Italian tricolours arranged in vertical stripes. The Government, " considering it impossible during the war of independence to call together a council of national representatives, but convinced of the urgent necessity of consulting on the in terests of the country many of those who have proved themselves to be its legitimate interpreters," The debate which took place in the Prussian Chamber of Representatives on the 12th instant, when a bill was presented for extraordinary sup plies to provide for placing the army on a war footing, and for the eventualities of war, throws considerable light upon the state of feelinr , in Germany " M. de Schleinitz, the Minister of Foreign Af fairs in proposing the adoption of the bill, expressed the hope that no orator would endeavour to throw obstacles in the way of the Government at so seri ous a juncture. It was not, however, his wish to impede free discussion, especially at a moment when it was desirable to ascertain the real sentiments of the country. " M. de Vincke said he should have liked to have seen a little more energy and patriotic spirit in the Government report. He would speak with that sin cerity which was due to the nation. No Prussian heart could' conceive the idea of Prussia joining the Emperor Napoleon against Austria. (Loud cheers.) Prussians should never forget that Austria formed a German nucleus, and that they were bound to Austria by the sacred bonds of the Confederation. (Cheers.) He had no enmity towards France. Tra ditional hatred had passed away. Behold the Anglo-French alliance ! Frenchmen have qualities which we might envy, but try are superficial ones. We have qualities which they do not possess—a, fear of God, a love of truth, of justice, and consis tency. The French are always craving for what they call their' national frontier.' Another danger exists in the system actually in force in France—a system developed in 1839 in the Idees Napo leoniennes, according to which the war in Italy is but the first act of the drama. The others will be played upon the Rhine, then in England, then in Russia. lie coud not blame the Austrian ultimatum as it had been blamed by the Government. If Aus tria has commenced the war, she was driven to it. After alluding to the Emperor's words to Baron Hub. ner on New Year's Day, to the Sardinian marriage, the alliance with Piedmont, and the armaments of France, Made Vincke alluded to Lord Derby's very unparliamentary' expression —(loud applause)— the aggression of Austria'—which was only ex cusable on electioneering grounds. The Congress was nothing more than a subterfuge to give France time to complete her armaments. As in all pro bability Prussia would have shortly to stand side by side with Austria on the field of battle, the sooner the disapproval of the Government of the policy of Austria was dropped the better. (Great sensation.) He did not think the moment had arrived for Germany to send an army to Italy. The resolutions of the Diet were not binding upon Prussia, because the Diet was reinstalled in 1851 despite the representations of the country. The domination of Austria in Italy had no sympathies in Germany. He severely censured the despotic acts of Austria in Italy and her secret treaties. Moreover, Austria would never forgive Pussia for her influence in Germany, her Protestantism, her freedom of public instruction, and liberty of the press. But it was very important to Prussia (though of no direct interest to Germany) that the power of Austria in Italy should not be weakened to the advantage of France and Sardinia. If it was true that France had concluded an alliance with Russia, , then it was Prussia's duty to ' arm to the teeth.' It would then be requisite not only to mobilise the army, but to rouse the spirit of 1813. He believed that Belgium, Holland, and Switzerland would stand by Prussia ; that England would remember she was a great European Power, and that it was her interest not to tolerate the existence of a mili tary Power that threatened her naval pre-eminence. The ghost of Chatham would rise to warn her. She was Prussia's ally in the seven years' war, but even should she fail us we have another ally (said M. de Vincke, pointing to heaven), who will not abandon us. We will go to war with the old motto of country r ia , .' f orwara. with God l• , fil our King-stud n M. de Vincke sat down amid loud cheering, and for a few minutes the debate was stopped. " M. de Schleinitz ' Minister of Foreign Affairs, said that Prussia did not wish to dispute Austria's right to send an ultimatum to Sardinia ; but the Prussian Government felt it its duty to disapprove an act which it thought was impolitic, which it had energetically discounselled, and which put an end to the hopes of peace. " M. Henri d'Arnini (ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs, and ex-Ambassador at Paris and Brussels) was of the opinion that the whole of Germany ought to give its adhesion to the vote which the Chamber would shortly give. Gentlemen (he said), accord ing to the 46th article of the final act of Vienna, the present war in Italy does not concern the Ger man Confederation. But according to public opinion here, as well as in the rest of Germany, the war touches us nearly. The final act of Vienna has the value of a fundamental law for Germany. But the great public voice of German nationality is a fundamental law of her national existence in a much more elevated sense, and this war, though only as yet touching the non-German provinces of a confederate State, may become a danger for the Confederation and for Germany. (Applause.) Does that mean to imply that we should enter Italy to assist Austria in preserving her Italian provinces, her influence over the rest of Italy, and, peilaps in stifling the constitutional life of Italy ? No assuredly not ! But Prussia ought to be prepared for every eventuality. Her calling is to defend the interests of Germany. " M. Simson (ex:Presi2ent of the National As sembly at Frankfort) declared that he had no sym pathy whatever for the present system of Govern ment in France. ' The man who has broken faith cannot restore it.' The end cannot justify the means. Since Sardinia had thought fit to join the revolution and call in foreigners into Italy she had lost all claim to respect. Prussia and Austria were at variance on many points. But Austia counted 8,000,000 Germans among her subjects; there was therefore a German interest to support Austria. But the time had not yet come. Prussia should never allow herself to be actuated by a vote of the majority at Frankfort. When the time comes Prussia will draw the sword and place her trust in the God of Battles. (Applause.) "M. Burger (the reporter of the committee) stated that the policy of Prussia was not neu trality,' but, for the present, an armed mediation. She was keeping guard over the maintenance of the balance of power in Europe, and reserved it to herself to take part in the war if her conditions were not accepted." The Chamber then proceeded to vote. The first proposal for a loan of 40,000,000 dollars was voted, without discussion, amid great applause ; and the other proposals for levying certain taxes, &c., were also carried unanimously. STATE OF TRADE.-MANCHESTER, May 13. — There is some little business in cloth, but the orders are mostly small ones. The chief business in the earlier part of the week was for fabrics suited to the India trade, but there is less demand for these goods to-day, and the market is dull, though prices are less depressed in cloths than in yarns. For mule and water twist there is exceedingly little doing, especially for the Continent. The Germans are ab staining to an extent rarely known for many years past, and some of the best informed among buyers in this trade say that if sellers could only realise the state of things de scribed in their advices they would not be canvassed for orders. There is but little doing for India, and most of the offers made have been at lower rates. Yarns for manufac tures are in some request, but buyers only endeavour to supply their more pressing wants. The cotton market has yielded id. per lb. on late prices to-day, and this has tended to help the general depression observable in this market. IMPROVEMENTS AT DOVER CASTLE.—Various im portant works are in progress at Dover Castle, particularly quarters for married soldiers.

Moreover, the ventilation of the whole of the barracks has been improved, and gas is shortly to be laid on, externally and internally, to the Whole of the Castle and barracks. All this sounds very well, and we shall hope to find the impression confirmed when we have the oppor rnocevitsoiotnheismade tunity to see for ourselves,--The Builder, i a .r t on th b e a n th ort s haenndtrap A young man named Charles Peeke"t* of a trading vessel called the Anne, Guernsey, was yesterday brought before:' . Dyke and a full bench of magi s t ra t es, at the Court-house, Dartford, upon the charge of felo niously stabbing a young man named Charles May, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. Russell, a solicitor, of Dartford, con ducted the prosecution, and Mr. Gibson, another professional gentleman of Dartford, appeared for the prisoner. The case, from the circumstances connected with it, appeared to create a good deal of interest, and the court was crowded by inhabitants of Dartford an d th e neighbourhood during the inquiry. The transaction that was the subject of investgation occurred on Good Friday last, and the prisoner has been in custody since then, the prose cutor having been too seriously injured to appear and give evidence until the present occasion. The act appeared to have been committed under the fol lowing circumstances :—The prisoner, who, it appears, is very respectably connected, his father being a shipowner at Guernsey, one of his vesssels being under the - pi isoner's command, was in the habit, when his vessel came to London, of stopping at an inn at Greenhithe, kept by a person named Minter. He had two daughters, and it would seam that the prisoner paid great attention to one of them, and there appears to be no doubt that h e was much attached to her. The prisoner's vessel being at Greenhithe on Good Friday, he spent the day at Mr. Minter's, and invited the prosecutor, who is a young man belonging to Dartford, and a friend of his named Webb, to accompany him and the two young women on board his vessel ; and it seemed that during the day the prisoner was very much annoyed at the prosecutor paying attention to his sweetheart. Upon their return to Greenhithe in the evening a quarrel took place between the two young men, and the prison er c h a ll enge d May to come out and fight, but he declined to do so. About half-past nine o'clock at night the prisoner left_ the Hull Trader, which is the sign of the house kept by Mr. Minter, to go on board his vessel. The prose cutor, it appeared followed him, something havin b ir shortly b e f ore b een sa id about fighting, and some blows were exchanged between him and the prisoner, and the litter was seen to suddenly thrust his hand forward in the direction of the prosecutor's breast, when he immediately exclaimed, " I am stabbed," and fell to the ground. The prisoner then made the best of his way on board his vessel, where he was taken into custody on the following morning by Mr. Brandon, a superintendent of the county constabulary, and a very useful and active officer, who has the charge of this district, and a seaman's knife, the blade of which was covered with blood, and with which the injury had no doubt been inflicted, was found concealec in his berth. Dr. Sercomb, a surgeon at Greenhithe, who attended upon the prosecutor, found that he had received a very serious injury, and for some time it was thought the knife had penetrated the right lung, in which case the injury would, in all probability, have proved mortal. This, however, fortunately turned out not to be the case, and the prosecutor was now sufficiently recovered to be able to attend and give evidence, although still in a very weak condition. He was sworn, and deposed to most of the above facts, and in cross-examination he denied having paid any attention to Miss Minter with a view to annoy the prisoner, but he admitted that they were all joking together during the afternoon. The other young man, Webb, was also examined, and he corroborated the prosecutor in his statement as to the circumstances under which the injury was inflicted, and said that until the prosecutor called out " I am stabbed," he had no idea that the pri soner had any weapon. The whole of the deposi tions having been taken, the Chairman ,said the bench felt it to be their duty to commit the pri soner to Maidstcne Gaol for trial at the ensuing summer assizes.

EXTRAORDINARY STROY ABOUT THE DAUPHIN OF TRANCE. e l. announ c ement for 'West f l o v r a t k h ic e y s , strange --- There are stranger things than fiction, even in modern times ; but people will hardly be prepared at a coroner's inquiry held yesterday before Mr. iMiddlesex,eh that ass e r te d the Dauphin of France, the unfortunate son of Louis XVI., died not, as history states, "on the 9th of June, 1795, in the prison of the Temple, after a miserable confinement of three years, " but that he died in a L on d on street cab a few days since, and that the deceased, upon whom the inquest was being held, was no other than that Dauphin, Louis XVII. of France. Such was the marvellous story made public yesterday at an inquest held at the Lord 'Wellington, University-street, upon a person who, under the name of Augustus Menes, has for some years past resided with his family at 35, University-street, Tottenham-court road, where he followed the avocation of a professor of music. It appeared that the deceased, who was in his 75th year, was taken suddenly ill, when near his own residence, and as medical assistance could not be immediately procured, he was conveyed without delay in a cab to the University College Hospital, close by ; but he was dead before arrivin g at at the institution, the cause of death being, _ disease post modem examination distinctly prove d, al verdict of the hefirt. The jury recordeda of the accord ingly, and so far the judicial pa r tie farther into the proceed ings terminated ; but upon ad 41 in heen rY made by the de ceased'speculiar statements tha h t e h rumours that have ..got family, and ; turhood, causing no little about in the neigh bo urhood, the eceases excitement, it it seeseemss years, wh e n he first made hi s tion for the last w ith the strange story, has b een family acquainted O to the effect t hat he was the Dauphin who was supposed to have d ied •in the Temple ; and w hil e bore a striking likene ss the deceased in the face to B o urbon family of France, hi s f am i ly further the assert that he had certain marks on his person which the hapless infant King had. He had him. self always a desire to keep the matter secret from th e world, but his family have now expressed their determination to publish the whole facts connected with his life. . THE MANCHESTER RIFLE CLUB.—We under stand that two gentlemen, who were working separately to promote the efitablishment of a local rifle corps, have joined their forces and influence, and that the project is now pro gressing more favourably than could have been anticipated. Already the club numbers some 50 members, and it is pro posed, as soon as the number of members reached 100, to wait on the Mayor, to request his worship to convene a pub lic meeting to consider the subject—such meeting to be held in the Town-hall, under the presidency of the Mayor. Meantime the powerful co-operation of the great warehouse firms is desired, that they may not only sanction the pro ject, but allow some of their young men the requisite time for rifle practice. It is suggested that, at all events for a time, the Saturday afternoon half-holiday would suffice for this purpose. We believe there is a strong feeling amongst Guardian. the members in favour of the Whitworth rifle, if that can be obtained. A very good practice ground, it is stated, can be secured on Carrington Moss, afford ing o f r f o t i z t e he s miles,ale andor with Ti mp e r r e i a d y t a u i c o e n s s . _ frv j r m a n t c h h e e snerwafl_
