" 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.

By his systematic management an ilnmense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented.

Yesterday the two candidates for the represents. tion of the North Riding met at Malton, and occu. pied the day in addressing the electors there. YORK, MONDAY. This day, .at 11 o'clock, the nomination took place on hustings erected i n th e C ast l e - yar d at Y or k . There were present from 6,000 to 8,000 persons. Sir G. 0. Wombwell proposed and Mr. J. Outh waite, of Bainesse, near Catterick, seconded the nomination of Mr. Merritt ; Mr. G. Serjeantson proposed and the Hon. Captain Lawley seconded the nomination of Mr. Frederick A. Milbank. Mr. MORRITT then addressed the freeholders. It was asserted, ho said, that he was the nominee of the Duncombe party, in other words, of Lord Faversham. He was not ashamed to put forth the house of Duncombe as a supporter of his, but was it possible that any one single interest should be able to coerce 13,000 voters ? He was not a party man. He would not be made to support either Lord Derby or Lord Palmerston. He would not give his support to the Highway Bill. His opponent had obtained for himself a large number of votes by Kling he would vote for the Permissive Bill, which was to allow two-thirds of the inhabitants of a certain district to sweep away every tel l publichouse. Would rather increase th e gn p lle eopit dia as to enable them t o intelligence of the withstand temptation, and pass a publichouse or use one without abusing it. With regard to the shipping interest, he was for reciprocity and free trade. He did not think the Government were deal ing fairly with the code as regarded the p u pil teachers and managers. With regard to the exten sion of the franchise, he would not pledge himself, but as long as Lord Palmerston conducted the Go he would not be i v n e h r t n r m um en e t nt a a s l i h n e rheniadnvbienegandinioi.ng, Mr. MILBANK then addressed the assemblage. He had canvassed the North Riding hundreds, and more promises had been given to him than had ever been tendered before to a Liberal candidate. He came before them as the supporter of Lord Palmere w nt o . uld l v f o a te for a £6 borough .: Reform Bill came before n p d a h r l i i s a G m o e v n e t r , n h m e anehise.

The contest is expected to be severe. WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY EVENING. The Royal Mail Company's steamship Seine, Captain C. G. Weller, arrived at 5 30 p.m., with mails in charge of Captain Bingham, RN., naval mail agent. The Seine brings 126 passengers (of whom 68 are first class, 10 second, 8 children, 33 distressed British seamen, and 7 naval invalids), and on freight 1,039,277 dols. in specie (of which 3:57,237 dols. are in gold and 612,040 dols. silver), jewelry and pearls value 2,184 dols., and a cargo comprising 144 packages for the International Exhibition, 394 serons cochineal, 1,070 serons indigo, 2 serons jalap, 136 packages silver ore, 256 bales bark, 247 casks coffee, 104 bales of sarsaparilla, 216 bags cocoa, 47 bales india-rubber, 16 live turtle, and 198 packages sundries. From Jamaica there is no news of interest. There was a perfect calm in politics, planting operations and business engrossing the attention of all persons engaged in agricultural and mercantile pursuits. The present packet brings to England a collection of specimens illustrative of the economic geology of Jamaica, arranged for the International Exhibition byM t e r n . g Lucasaged upon a Barrett, who has been for some time as geological survey of the eastern Portion of the island. Th e co ll ec ti on , w hi c h was exhibited in Kingston f or a f ew d ays , i s very com p plete, and it is said will make a very respectable show at the Exhibition. Her Majesty's ship Edgar, bearing the flag of Admiral S. C. Dacres, C. 8., ar rived at Port Royal on the 22d ult. The Admiral is, it was said, to remain at Port Royal for six months. The gallant Admiral landed on the 24th, and was received by the Major General and suite and a guard of honour of the 3d West. He afterwards proceeded to Spanish Town on a visit to his Excel lency the Governor. The Swedish war vessel Nor koping arrived at Port Royal on the 23d, last from Port-au-Prince. The weather was getting dry, with strong sea breezes for the last 10 days. The public health vt as good. The Cordova states that an almost unprecedented dullness had prevailed in the Jamaica market during the fortnight. Stocks were abundant, and the expected arrival of large sup plies by the Cleator and other vessels known to have left the United States for Jamaica had very much depressed things, there being no inclination whatever to purchase. For ordinary good coffee 50s to 52s was paid. East India rice had sold at 18s in lots of 25 bags. Sugar had realised from 15s to 18s, according to quality. Exchanges on London:—Colonial and Jamaica Banks, 90 days, 3 per cent. preen.; 60 days, 1 ditto, 30 days, 1 ditto. At Barbadoes public attention had been centred on the general elections which had taken place during the fortnight. The intelligence from the other West India islands by this arrival is unimportant. From Central America the only news of interest is the assassination of General Guardiola, President of Honduras. The crime was supposed to have been instigated by General D. Fr anc i sco L o p e . The President was murdered in broad daylight in his own residence and by an officer of his body guard, Pablo Agurcia. The circular of Don Guil lermo Nanne, of San Jose de Costa like, states that up to t h n e d 31 hte of January prospects for t s h a e v g weather had im provedthe coffee crop better. It was presumed the produce of the pre sent season would amount to between 85,000 and 95,000 quintals, and the quality a fair average. The steamer Saladin, which arrived at Aspinwall on the 16th ult., reported that Arboleda was de feated by the f orces of General Sanchos on the 11th of Jannary, and was forced to retire with a small portion of his men to Calibio, leaving Po payan to the Federals, which was immediately occupied. Dr. Manuel Camacho, one of Arbo leda's prisoners, but since released, was admi nistering the Government of the State of Cauca. The entire news was in favour of the Liberal party. The following is a telegraphic despatch received. at Panama from Aspinwall The Sa ladin arrived on Sunday at 3 30. Th e B u ll e ti n , with the details of Canal's defeat, has been re ceived. The news from Cauca has bee n c onfi r m e d. Arboleda was at Calibm at last dates; he will not be able to escape. Popayan retaken. Only one division of the Restaudora was defeated in An tioqua. From alt the States forces are being sent into Antioqua." Jamaica, and the Cadmus at St. Kitt's. The Tartar, Captain Hayes, sailed from Taboga for the coast of Mexico on the 10th ult. The United States steamer of war Wyoming, Commander M‘Do Aral], arrived at Panama on the 18th ult. in 15 dap from Callao, officers and crew all in good health. The Termagant, Captain Hall, with 300,000 dols, in specie for Europe, arrived at Panama from the coast of Mexico on the 9th ult. The Royal Mail steamship Tamar, Captain Wool cott, arrived at Aspinwall from San Juan del Norte on the night of the 19th of February, with Captain Maury, four officers, and the crew of the Like steamer John Hart, belonging to the Nicara gua Transit Company, which was recently lost on Lake Nicaragua. The wreck was taken charge of by Captain Griffin. The Tamar also had the Captain and crew of the British barque Esmeralda, which was lost near Halfmoon Key. On the 16th ult., in lat. 47 48 N., long. 9 14 W., the Seine spoke the British steamer Gleniffer, steer ing to the westward. The royal mail steamer La Plata, with the out ward mails of the 17th ult., had not arrived at St. Thomas up to 5 p.m. on the 3d inst. (This was only 14 days.) The Avon was on the Spanish Main route ; the Teviot at Jamaica; the Thames on the Havannah route; the Wye at Barbadoes ; the Clyde, Derwent, Solent, Tamar, and Trent, at St. Thomas. THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA.' (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) NEW YORK, FEB. 27. This brief letter must be accepted as the prepa ration for a longer epistle, which may be full of the most important details of military movements on the Potomac. The press is bound in a rigid cen sorship, which, indeed, is submitted to by the people of the North with a very good grace, because they expect to be astonished and delighted by intelli gence of signal successes when the restrictions are removed. Neither telegram nor correspondence re ferring to military movements can be published with safety. Rumours fly about the city. It is reported that Banks has been defeated, that Fitz- John Porter's division advanced yesterday ; that Heintzleman moved to-day. It is beyond doubt that General M'Clellan has left Washington, and that his staff and a strong escort have proceeded towards Harper's Ferry or Frederick, by the Balti more and Ohio Railroad. Some reason there is for thinking that a large mass of troops is following his steps. If so it is obvious that the plan indi cated some time ago will be followed, and that, leaving a sufficient force in the lines before Wash ington, General M'Clellan will make an attempt to turn the left of the Confederates and to force his way to the rear of their position. There are, how ever, serious obstacles in the way of such an ad vance,—the country is yet difficult,—the transport will be severely tried,—Western Virginia has been laid desolate. In a day more I trust that more accurate information of what has taken place at Washington will be available for foreign use. The occupation of Nashville is now beyond a doubt, unless one can be created by the authority of all newspapers and the unanimitywith which the report is promulgated. Arkansas is now the theatre of a large guerilla. Missouri for the time seems to be much in the state of Burgundy during the wars of 'Duke Charles. The notion of a strong Union feeling being latent in the South is weakened by experience in every part of the coun try save Tennessee, and it is well to state that the districts in which that sentiment has been dis covered were always opposed to Secession. It is creditable to the sense of the Northern people and to their comprehension of the value of facts that no undue elation has been excited by their recent triumphs. One or two journals have, of course, pursued their folly to its bent. However, there is no better sign on the part of a people in a great struggle than calmness in victory. Those who ex claimed when Donnelson yielded its 12,000 prisoners or more that " Secession is dead !" hold their tongues or speak with moderation in face of the unyielding attitude of the South. The papers from Richmond and elsewhere utter no uncertain notes. They are full of resolution and vigour. They acknowledge their reverses, admit the force of the enemy, criti cise the course of their Government with bitterness; but their counsels breathe resistance to the last. " Tune cede malls, sed contra audentior ito ;" and the Roman takes his counsel, his oath, his procla mation, and his cocktail, burns his bridge, shoulders his rifle, and marches off to make a new battle-field. If the position at Manassas be turned, and the Con federates are beaten in the open in their attempt to cover Richmond, there will be a blow given to their cause far more heavy than that which would come from the capture of all the villages along the coast, the occupation of the seaboard towns, or the seizure of the best cotton ports. Virginia is a great moral stronghold. Richmond is a grand strategical posi tion, a centre from which the blood flows and comes through Secessia. It is believed that the outlying corps which protects Leesburg does not exceed 12,000 men, but it is capable of being reinforced rapidly by rail. Winchester is a point of great con sequence in reference to these movements, and if Banks has really moved it will be his aim, in all pro bability, to seize it, and in that case he will break the line of communication, and thus defeat any at tempts of the Confederates to reinforce their corps covering the extremity of their position on the right. Landor's recent reconnaissances and the appearance of the enemy on their extreme left seem to show that there are apprehensions of some such danger. The former found the Confederates in a position which could not have been occupied unless they were very tenacious etheir hold on their left. The columns commanded by Banks and General Stone's successor may probably number 20,000 men all told, includ ing Landor's force, and with Rosecrans'troops there is, perhaps, a force of 33,000 or 34 , 000 ava il able for operations. If General M'Clellan succeeds in rein forcing this army with 25,000 men and abundance of fold batteries in such time that the Confederates cannot meet his movement by fresh dispositions, there appears to be every chance of his rolling up their left and sweeping their lino back, or forcing them to change front and fight or retire. In any change of front the Federals on the Occoquan would prove very troublesome. At all events, with the end of winter comes a movement of the army of the Potomac, and with that there will be events which will contrast strongly with its long inaction. No one knows what to think of the stories which are afloat respecting offers of compromise—the flags of truce at Columbus and the like. THE HARTLEY COLLIERY FUND.—The total amount received at the Mansion-house in aid of the Hartley Colliery fund up to Saturday was £20,524, of which nearly £2BO came to hand during the week, whereas the amount in aid of the Merthyr fund is only £4OB. There seems to be an impression in the minds of many that a portion of the surplus of the Hartley fund will be devoted to the assist ance of those at Merthyr, but it is the intention of the committee at Hartley to make a reserve fund for only such exigencies of the kind as may in future occur in the dis tricts of Northumberland and Durham, MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.—On Saturday morning the police of the Staffordshire constabulary discovered a bonnet and a letter on the banks of the Soho Pool. Corn ing to the conclusion that they belonged to some one who had drowned herself, they immediately commenced drag ging the pool, under the impression that some unfortunate creature had committed suicide. Notwithstanding' the most careful search, however, no body has yet been found. The following is a literal copy of the letter referred to : " This wicked and dreadful oceurance is the chief cause of a false deceit ful young man, the name of Thomas Johnson which much rather depart this world than be brought to shame hoping the Lord will forgive me for what I have done farewell to all left. My friends left a mark for mockers fingers I withdrew from gazing eyes like the rose in shade to linger bloom unseen to wither die for thy faults let others chide thee I thy madness will implore yet may all the good betide the through on earth we meet no more fare thee well i can repeat to fare the well as kindly say if these lines should chance to meet you Spurn theT , not like me away. I conclude with a broken H eart." The bonnet and letter are in the possession of the police, lie at the Handsworth police station for identification. , ---231rminghana ,Pose.

The annual dinner of this old but most excellent charity was celebrated yesterday evening at the Freemasons' Tavern, in accordance with the custom which has been followed during the last 80 yeafs of selecting Ireland's Saint's day as the most fitting and appropriate occasion on which to appeal to Irishmen for aid to help the children of their poorest and most deserving fellow-countrymen in London. There was not so large a muster on this occasion as has generally rallied round the commemorative festivals of the great London Irish charity, though among those present were the Earl of Long ford, the Earl of Courtoun, the Bishop of Kildare, Lord Arthur Hill, General Sir John Pennefather, Sir Ralph Howard, Sir Bernard Burke (Ulster), Right Hon. T. O'Hagan, Attorney-General for. Ireland ; General Watkins, Colonel Dunne, M.P., Mr. J. O'Connell, M.P., Dr. O'Connor, Dr. Cur lahan, Mr. Lover, Mr. Herbert, of Muckross Abbey ; Mr. Hamilton Geale, Mr. Bambridge, &c. The Duke of Cambridge, as Earl of Tip perary, took the chair, and was received at the door on alighting from his carriage, by a guard of honour of the London Irish Volunteers. His Royal Highness wore the Riband and Star of the Order of St. Patrick, wearing also on the left breast, over the last-named insignia, a small bunch of shamrocks. The dinner, which was on a profuse scale of libe rality, was admirably served and done ample justice to. At its conclusion, after grace had been sang and the cloth drawn, his Royal Highness briefly, but with much good taste and feeling, proposed what are known on these occasions as the loyal toasts, " The Health of the Queen" and "The Royal Family." Alluding to the sudden death of the Duchess of Kent, which had last year prevented his presiding over the annual festival, he said be did not think that on the next occasion of their assembling together he would have to deplore a still more dreadful loss—a loss which had not only bowed down the Queen, but had afflicted the whole nation—a loss which had rendered desolate one of the most united homes in the kingdom. He could not, even after the period which had elapsed since this calamity had fallen on the country, refrain from bearing his most earnest and sincere testimony to the goodness and greatness of the Prince we had lost. He had so completely identified himself with English thoughts and English habits—he so thoroughly understood ourselves and our ways, that he was enabled from his exalted position to be of the greatest service to the country and the Sovereign, so that in every event which happened from day to day the importance of his advice and influence was felt, and always felt for the benefit of this eountry. (Loud cheers.) There never was a great man—for a great man the late Prince truly was in the fullest sense of the word —who, after he had passed away, left so few ene mies behind him. His Royal Highness said that out of respect to the Queen's great grief he would ask them to drink her health in solemn silence. The Queen only could fully realize the greatness of the bereavement which had fallen upon her and on the country. He had had the honour of seeing her Ma jesty that day, and, though she had borne up under her visitation with a fortitude which had excited the admiration and sympathy of all, still, said his Royal Highness, I believe that many—very many years must elapse before she will recover from her misfortune, if, indeed, she ever entirely recovers from it during lifetime at all. The toast was drunk amid profound silence, as was that also of the young members of the Royal family. Sir John Penne father returned thanks for the Army, and Major Snell for the Volunteers, on whose merits the illus trious chairman had passed a warm eulogium. The little boys and girls belonging to the society to the number of some 200 were then marched round the room, and their clean attire, and cheerful, bright, and healthy faces, spoke more strongly in behalf of the value and practical usefulness of the charity than any set appeal, however eloquent. After the children had left the room, his Royal High ness gave the toast of the evening, and ex pressed his regret that the very unfavourable state . of the weather had prevented the guests from seeing more than a small proportion of the children now being educated by the society. There were now in the schools not less than 300 boys and 200 girls, and very many applicants were still waiting for admission, for the building had not capacity for containing a greater number. The whole of these children were comfortably and suit ably clad by the society, and, while not over-edu cated, or taught in such a manner as to be dissAis fied with their sphere, they received such plain but sound instruction as afforded the best means of fitting the objects of the society's care for the duties incident to their station in life. The result of this proper system was that a very large proportion of the children had passed from the apprenticeships and early situations provided by the society, and become respectable and independent members of the community at large. Nor was it only to the mental and moral wants of the children that the society looked ; but they attended also, as far as their funds would allow, to their physical needs, and during the winter months gave one good hearty daily meal to all their pupils. He was sorry that he did not see more Irishmen there that night to rally round a charity which, without sectarian or political bias, only claimed support under its title of a purely national institution. In conclusion, his Royal t-lighness called upon the company to provide for a continuance of the benefits which their generous support had enabled the society to dispense for so many years in ameliorating the social condition of that large section of the labouring poor of London for whose advantage the charity was founded. The toast was received with prolonged applause, and a most liberal subscription list bore testimony to the practical effect of the duke's eloquence. The toasts of " The President," " The Bar of Ireland," the va rious officers of the society, and " The Ladies who had honoured the festival with their presence," were each given and duly honoured, and the festivities did not terminate till the evening was far advanced. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. Land, assisted by members of the London Glee and Madrigal Union, and the exertions of Miss Wells and Miss Eyles were applauded with enthu r 4002. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. Her Majesty's ships Edgar (flag of Admiral Dacus), Imaum, and Cygnet were at Port Royal, MB. ISAAC BUTT, M.P. Yesterday, at the Westminster Police-court, a very respectable looking person, who represented himself to be Mr. Jones, of the firm of Jones and Kean, newsvendors and stationers, Bury-street, St. James, solicited the magistrates advice under the following circumstances : Applicant said that, having found by an account in the newspapers three weeks ago that Mr. Isaac Butt, who was then summoned by a cabman for 18s., resided at 3, Wellington-square, Chelsea, he applied to him there for a bill of £3 4s. Bd., which had been long owing, and Mr. Butt subsequently called upon him and gave him a chequo upon the Bank of Ireland at Youghal, which, after passing through a banker's, was returned dishonoured. Mr. Paynter inquired what was said at the bank. Applicant replied, " no effects." Mr. Paynter—He pa id u w ith the cheque the a mount of a bill. Wha t was it for Mr. Paynter—For which you had given him stationery. c redit. Applica nt—lgave Applicant — Newspape rsh a no nd credit--he took it. I could not find him out till I saw his address in the newspapers, when he was summoned by the cabman. Mr. Paynter—Did you give him a receipt when he gave you the cheque? Applicant—lie was too much in a hurry to get away with my cash, which ho had in change, and left the receipt upon the counter. Mr. Paynter—What amount did you give him Applicant (producing the cheque and bill, which were handed to the magistrate) said—As the cheque was for £5, I gave Mr. Butt the difference of £1 15s. 4d. You will observe, sir, that the cheque is all in writing ; it was given to me after banking hours on a Saturday night, and Mr. Butt came to me on the following Monday, and said he had re ceived a letter from his banker, stating that a printed cheque-book would be sent by post, and requesting me not to present the written cheque, and he would give me a printed one for it, but I have seen nothing of him since.

(Before the Master of the Rolls.) THE BANK OF DEPOSIT. t The Marquis of Abercorn, who had permitt%ed his name to be inserted in the prospectuses of the National Insurance and Investment Association, or Bank of Deposit, for a certain period, but who re— signed his directorship in truly, 1854, and desired that his name should be withdrawn from the list of trustees at the end of that year, was this day examined before his Honour by the counsel of the official manager of the society. His lordship stated that he never attended at the office of the society to transact any business. When he was appointed trustee no writing was signed by him, nor when he retired did lie sign any document. lie was not aware until he saw Mr. Harding's re port of the society last November, that his name had beat inserted in the books of the society as a borrower or £5OO, while on the other hand, the hooks credited him, as the holder of capital stock to that amount. Tfrqse debit and credit entries were wholly unauthorise by him.

John Smith, 29, tailor, Thomas Smith, 23, la bourer, And John Lead, were indicted for stealing a gold weeb, the property of William Gardiner, from his person. Mr. Daly prosecuted. Lead was defended by Mr. Me'tealfe Mr. Pater defended John Smith ; the other Ns not defended. The prosecutor stated that he was a maltster re siding at Strand-on-the-Green, Turnhani -green, and on the evening of the 7th of February he went to Jem Mace's publichouse in Holywell-lane, ,S Li ditch (the (the Champion of England). From there he went with Thomas Smith and Lead to a beer-shop in Holywell-lane, where they got sparring. Wit ness took off his coat, and Lead made a dash at his waistcoat, where his watch and guard were. He bit the watch off the chain and ran away. T. Smith took witness's right hand glove off and held hi by the left while Lead took h is watch. He sai m d—l wrenched my hand awsly, and followed Lead as fast as I could. I jumped down stairs and fell, which delayed the pursuit. I found Lead in Mace's, and, gave him in custody for stealing my gold watch, value £l5. I can swear that Thomas Smith was one of the men. John Smith stopped me as I was following Lead. I can swear to that. Thomas Smith held my hand; John Smith stood close by. I had a glass of ale, s i x -p enn yw or th of brandy, and three-pennyworth of brandy and ginger beer, and when I asked Lead for my watch he put me out of the house. George Bray stated that he was a licensed victual ler at Hull, and was in the beer-shop when the pro secutor, who had a watch and guard, came in- There was a clattering on the floor, and he saw the prosecutor running after some one. Both tt.e Smiths were there, and subsequently he saw them at Mace's. Lead said he had not been in the beer shop ; it was clearly and distinctly proved that he had. Other evidence having been given, the learned counsel for the defence addressed the jury. The Smiths were acquitted. Lead was convicted, and sentenced to nine months' hard labour. He bad been out on bail, and earnestly protested that he was innocent. The Smiths were discharged. (Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judm.) YLones Westfield, a young man, was indicted for fraud. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Lloyd prosecuted ; Me, F. H. Lewis defended. He pleaded guilty. Mr. Lewis said that the prisoner had been in duced to join another person in an office for the sale of theatre tickets. The latter had pui forward the prisoner as the principal, he keeping in the back ground. The prisoner had been in the p.7ervice of an American gentleman, and his savings ha:l been lost in this office, which was for the sale of theatri cal tickets. The case was thus, the prisoner Ns 'as employed to sell tickets, and did sell one to a gen tleman of title, but it was a fictitious one, and the prosecution was conducted upon public grounds, not from vindictive motives, so that an example should be made in a matter which really and truly was of considerable public importance. The object of the prosecution no doubt was only to put a stop to a system of fraud upon the public by the sale of these admissions without authority, and which, when presented, were found to be not admissible to that part of the theatre that they were purchased for. The prosecution was instituted only to stop this system, and he (Mr. Lewis) hoped that a lenient course might be taken with the prisoner, as he had pleaded guilty, and had been a mere tool in the hands of others. The Assistant-Judge sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of £lO and to enter into a recognisance of £5O.
