By F. B. COURTENAY, And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long nrofessional life, to the treatment of Rh-tourers 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. Byhie 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 fourd in the private study of all who are subject to stricture.

AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSIO N.—The "'Times," the "Lancet," and other leading journals have been lately eanyassing the social considerati ons in volved in " the amount of death and disease caused by v i ce. " Rome interesting statistics are brought to bear upon the inquiry ; but it would greatly add to their value if they eluded the facts r es p ec ti ng the origin, the ravages, and the prevention of that sprerAL VICE, which wars more than any other against the welfare of society—destroving the happi ness and disappointing the objects of matrimony, under. mining the constitutions, blasting the prospects, embittering and shortening the lives of its victims, and spreading desola tion through families. The essential particulars relating to this great social evil 'the besetting snare of inexperienced youth and the curse of maturity), together with ample instructions for removing its _fleets, and recovering health, vigour, and all the ennobling nrivileges of our helm are contained in Dr. LA'MERT'S " E LE- PRF, SE ItVATIONv , a Treatise on Nervous and Ph ;steal Debility, of which th e 0 0V- E d i t i on h as just been rmb , ished by Mann and Co., 30, Cornhill, London. price is.. sent poet tree for 13, or in a sealed envelope for 20 stamps' Dr. LA'MERT, M.D., &c., having for 20 years devotee himself entirely to this branch of practi , e, may be consulted daily, either personally or by correspondence, at his residence, :No 117.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN COUNTIES. It appears that the directors of this company have de clared a dividend of 1 per cent. for the half-year ending the 30th of June last on the consolidated stock of the company. SOUTH-EASTERN. The directors of this company have resolved to recom mend the proprietors of the ensuing half•yearly meeting on the 28th inst. to order payment of a diviaend of 12s. 9d. on each £3O stock, being at the rate of 4/1 per oent, per annum. The report of the directors of this company states that the gross receipts for the half-year ending July 31 amount to £568,695 (including £28,591, the receipts for the steam boat traffic), as compared with £562,730 for the corre sponding period of 1861, being an increase of £6,965. The ordinary working expenses during the half-year amount to £227,023; the rates, taxes, tolls, and Govern ment duty to £34,012 ; and the working of the steam packet service to £14,988. After providing for the charges in respect of rents, interest, annuities, prefer ence dividends, &c., there remains a net balance of £:59,642 available for dividend on the ordinary stock of the company. A dividend of 12s. 9d, per £3O stock, or at the rate of £4 ss. per tent. per annum will absorb £157,966, and , leave a balance of £1,676 pay able on the 4th of September. The increase in the gross receipts for the half-year amount to £5,965, and the decrease in the expenditure of £642, showing an increase in the net receipts of £6,607 as compared with the cor - responding period of last year, The increase in the num ber of passengers conveyed was 284,536, but there was a decrease in the receipts of £3,090. This is attributable principally to the competition of the new line opened be tvieen London and Dover. There has also been a decrease of £3,150 in the receipts derived from the conveyance of troops, over which the company has no control; but this, as well as the loss occasioned by the diversion of traffic at points where the competition referred to exists has been in a great measure neutralised by its augmentation at the in termediate stations. Among other items of increase may be mentioned £4,342 hi parcels traffic, and £5,565 in steam boat traffic, the latter arising from the increased influx of continental passengers during the present season, the three new fast passenger boats placed Upon the Folkestone and Boulogne route having enabled the company to conduct this traffic with every despatch and efficiency. The mer • chandise traffic has been affected by the commmercial de pression which has prevailed during the past year, and ex hibits a decrease of £2,112, caused by the falling off in the receipts for coal ~ n d continental goods, while the local mer chandise receipts have, on the whole, been well maintained. There has been an increaseof £4,383 in the charge for loco motive power and rolling stock, arising mainly from the in creased mileage run during the half year--viz., 41,963 miles, the increased cost of coal, and the renewals of worn-out vehicles of different kinds. The increase of £2,347 under this head has been principally occasioned by the renewals of per manent way, 20 miles of single line having been entirely re laid during the half year. A considerable expenditure has also been incurred in the necessary renewals of bridges and viaducts, formerly of timber, which have been re-con structed in permanent materials. The principal items of capital expenditure for the half year have been as follows : On account of the Charing-cross Railway, £208,000 ; of new rolling stock, £55,681; and of new steamboats, £13,505. The capital account shows that £12,862,850 had been ex pended to the Blot July, including 1..290,190 expended dur ing the past half year. WHITEHAVEN, CLEATOR, AND EGREMONT. The dividend for the past half year on the share capital of this company will be at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of £1,356. SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD. It appears the dividend on this company's ordinary stock will be 3 per cent, for the past half year, leaving a balance of £914. ---- CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD.

MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND V. COUNTY OP SUSSEX.--This match at the Brunswick (Box's) Ground, near Brighton, ran into a third day (Wednesday), and though T. Hearne and Mr. R. D. Walker struggled well to place their side in as good a position as possible, the former scoring 134 and the latter 37, the total of the M.C.C. innings closed for 216, which left Sussex 72 to get to win, and they succeeded in doing so with five wickets to go down. During the match some fine hitting was displayed on both sides. ONE ARM v. ONE LECL—It is ten years ago since we chronicled a match of this kind, which took place (as now), on the Surrey Ground, Kennington-oval. The game com menced yesterday, and as the announcement bill said, " Cricket 'ender difficulties, by the Veterans of England," it was truly so. Legitimate cricket is generally well patronised, but this, though not in the category, was espe cially al, some three or four thoussuuLl spectators being pre sent to witness what may be termed in modern phraseology, a "sensation match." The Veterans of England com prise those who have served their country, and are now pensioners in Greenwich College, but the sides selected to play were minus a leg or arm. The One Leg side went in first, and to describe the ludicrous manner in which they made their runs would be impossible, but the amusement they caused was great; and those of the One Arm in the field—fancy their trying to stop a ball with their hats, or dropping themselves so as to stop it bodily, the shouts of the spectators in the meanwhile urging the batsmen to "run it out," and the scene may be completed by imagina tion. The score of the One Leg side reached 91, and two or three of them seemed as if they had used a bat before. On the side of the One Arm 73 was scored. The match will be continued this morning. FORGERY ON THE BANK OF ENGLAND. A respectably-dressed genteel-looking young man, 20 years of age, who at first gave hie name as Geo. Samuel Stokes, a clerk, residing at Arbitas-hill, Galway, but afterwards stated that his real name was George Wilkin, was placed at the bar of the Mansion-house yesterdays before Mr. Alderman Challis, locum tenens for the Lord Mayor, charged with forging and uttering a forged endorsement to a bill of exchange for £2,000, with intent to defraud the governor and company of the Bank of England. Gt orge Russell, detective officer, said—l was on duty this morning with Sergeant Moss at the Bank of England. In consequence of information which I received I waited in the hall, and there saw the prisoner with Mr. Adams, who held in his hand five £lOO notes, which I produce. They are cancelled. Another gentleman named Gough was there like wise, and he held in his hand the bill of exchange which I produce, drawn on the Bank of Ireland for £2,000. It is dated Aug. 20, 1862, and made pay able to the order of John Robinson, Esq., addressed to the cashier of the Bank of England, and signed Win. Patten, for the Governors and Company of the Bank of Ireland, payable on demand. The bill is endot sed John Robinson, 17, Albert-street, Bedford.• square. Mr. Adams showed the prisoner the five notes which I produce, and Mr. Gough showed him the endorsement at the back of the bill. Mr. Adams asked him if his name was Stokes how he came to endorse the bill John Robinson. He asked him if his name was Robinson, but I did not hear if he I answered that question. He said he did nr:t say ! his name was Robinson. Mr. Gough said he did say so, and likewise signed John Robinson at the back of the bill. I then took him to the office of Mr. Marshall, the chief cashier, and he was there asked to explain the matter. He did ❑ot give any explanation, and he was asked where Albert street was, and he said he did not know, he was a stranger. The notes are all five endorsed George Stokes, 11, Cheapside, and he was asked what 11, Cheapside,was, and he said it was an hotel. He was then given into custody. I searched a satchel which he had at the time, and in it I found ten Bank of England notes for £5O, 25 for £2O, 40 for £lO, and 20 for £5. Mr. George Wolff Gough, cashier in the public drawing office at the Bank of England, said—About a quarter before 11 this morning the prisoner came to me and presented the bill produced for payment. I asked him what his name was, and he did not answer at the moment_ I repeated the question, and he said, " Robinson." I asked him what his Christian name was, and he said " John." I then gave him back the bill, which was not endorsed, and asked him to endorse it, and he wrote at the back of it, and he returned it to me endorsed as it now appears. I asked him what he would have for it, and he took from his pocket a small piece of paper with a list of the notes he wanted, which were .the same as those found upon him. I passed it to the next cashier, who paid it with the notes produced, and the prisoner left the office. Shortly after the prisoner had left, Mr. Adams came to me to know if I had paid the five £lOO notes produced that morning. I referred to the book and ascer tained that they had been given with others in payment of the bill produced. I went with Mr. Adams to the issue department, and there saw the prisoner. I asked him if he had endorsed the bill in the name of John Robinson, and he denied that he had done so. I then left him with the officers. John Moss, detective, said—l was with Russell this morning, and was- present when the prisoner was spoken to by Mr. Adams. The prisoner wa s afterwards taken to Mr. Marshall's office, and I asked him if he could give any explanation, and he then replied that it was too bad to be treated like that. I searched him, and found a pocket book containing £9O in Bank of England notes, and £2 16s. 11d. in money. Since he has been in custody at the Mansion-house he said he wished to tell the whole truth, and he then told me his name was not George Stokes but George Wilkin, and that he did it, and the devil tempted him. The prisoner was remanded. THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA The following additional despatches are published in the New York journals : " Washington, August 8.

Whereas by a General Order, dated July 22, "", ivouod Ix 3. iho goominrY of War of the United States, under the orders of the United States, the military commanders of that government within the states of Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas, are directed to seize and use any property, real or personal, belonging to the inhabi tants of this Confederacy, which may be necessary or convenient for their several commands, and no provision is made for any compensation to the owners of private property thus seized and appro priated by the military commanders of the enemy. " 3. And whereas by a General Order, No. 11, issued on the 23d of July, 1862, by Major General Pope, commanding the forces of the enemy in Northern Virginia, it is ordered that all commanders of any army corps, divisions, brigades, and detached commands, will proceed immediately to arrest all disloyal male citizens within their limits, or within their reach in the rear of their respective commands. Such as are willing to take the oath of allegiance to the United States, and will furnish sufficient security for its observance, shall be permitted to remain at their homes and pursue in good faith their accus tomed avocations. Those who refuse shall be con ducted south beyond the extreme pickets of this army, and be notified that if found again anywhere within our lines, or at any point in the rear, they will be considered as spies and subjected to the extreme rigour of military law. If any per son, having taken the oath as above specified, be found to have violated it, he shall be shot, and his property seized and applied to the public use ; "4. And whereas, by an order issued on the 13th July, 1862, by Brigadier General A. Steinwehr, Major William Steadman, a cavalry officer of his brigade, has been ordered to arrest five of the most prominent citizens of Page county, Va., to be held as hostages, and to suffer death in the event of any of the soldiers of the said Steinwehr being shot by bushwackers ; by which term is meant the citizens of the Confederacy who have taken up arms to de fend their houses and families ; " 5. And whereas it results from the above order that some of the military authorities of the States, not content with the unjust and crueltyaggress aga i nst ive warfare hitherto waged with savage United an unoffending people, and " mpe rated by the failure of their efforts to subj uga t e them, have now determined to violate all the rules and usages o f war, and to convert the hostilities hitherto waged against armed forces wit h a campaign of robbery . and murder against unarme d citizens and peac e f u l this government, bound by tillers of the soil; "6. And wher eas, the highest ob li g ations of dut y to its ci t i zens, is thus driven th e r etr necessity ibu t io of adopting such n and retaliation as t jest ie aseun t() of res shall see m adequate to repress and punish these barbarities ; and whereas the orders above recited hav e only been published and made known to this government since the signature of a cartel for the exchange of prisoners of war, which cartel, in so far as it provides for an exchange of hereafter captured, would never have been signed or agreed to by this government if the in tention to change the war into a system of indis criminate murder and robbery had been made known to it ; and whereas, a just regard to humanity for bids that the repression of crime which this govern ment is thus compelled to enforce should be unne cessarily extended to retaliation on the enlisted men in the army of the United States, who may be the unwilling instruments of the savage cruelty of their commanders, so long as there is hope that the ex cesses of the enemy may be checked or prevented by retribution on the commissioned officers, who have the power to avoid guilty action. by refusing ser vice under a government which seeks their aid in the perpetration of such infamous barbarities-- "7. Therefore, it is ordered that Major-General Pope, Brigadier-General Steinwehr, and all com missioned officers serving under their respective comman ds, be, and they a r e, hereby expreolY and spec i a lly declared to be no t en titl e d to be c onsidered as soldiers, and therefore not entitled to the b refit of the cartel for the parole of future prisoners of war. " Ordered, further, that in the event enel Steinwehr, of the cap tureranteinwehr, or of any of Major-General Pope o r Brigadier-G commissioned officer serving under them, the captive solaken eltith be j Meldqn close confinement so - - leas as the-orders aforesaid shall continue in force, :and unrepealed by the com petent military authority', Of the United States ; and that in the event of the murder of any unarmed citizen or inhabitant of this Confederacy, by virtue or under pretext of one of the orders hereinbefore recited, whetuct with or without trial, whether under pretence of such a citizen being a spy, or hostage, or any other pretence, it shall the duty of the commanding general of the forces of this Core federacy to cause immediately to be hung, out of the commissioned officers, prisoners as aforesaid, a num ber equal to the number o f our own citizens thus murdered by the e nemy.—Be order. (Signed) "S. Coorm, A &G." The following is the letter 01:44f. Davis to Gen. Lee, instructing him io cormihicate the facts in the above order to the CommatWi4n-Cnief of the United States :- '° lticlimonu, Va , July 31, 1862. ‘, Sir,—Oz, the 23d or this mouth a cartel for a t i!e c t u s e v r e a e l n 11 ,"eh 1,;joli:gG: of nera p r isoners lJ).li.ili e l f l, w it a i r be ss: :a g if i e gd t n t c he Confederate States, and , m,.,j or _G ene ral J. A. 13;iL in behalf of the United States. By the terms of that cartel it is stipulated that all prisoners of war e h x er c e h a a f nged ter ta . k e s n ca s r h c a e l l l y b h e discharg e d rte o l u be i e 3a n ro s l i e gn t ed ill when the military authorities of the United States commenced a practice of changing the oharacter of the war from such as becomes civilised nations into a campaign of indiscriminate robbery and murder. The general order issued by the Secretary of War of the United States in the city of Washington, on the very day that the cartel was signed in Vir ginia, directs military commanders of the United States to take the private property of our people for the convenience and use of their armies, with out compensation. "The general order issued by Major-general Pope on July 23, the 'Olaf -ter the signing of the cartel, directs the murder of our peaceful inhabi tants as spies if found quietly tilling the farms in his rear, even outside of his lines; and one of his brigadier-generals, Steinwehr, has seized upon innocent and peaceful inhabitants to be held as hostages, to the end that they may be murdered in cold blood if any of his soldiers are killed by some unknown persons whom he designates as " Bush whackers." Under this state a facts this govern ment has issued the inclosed general order, recog nising General Pope and his commanding officers to be in the position which they have chos en for themselves—that of robbers and murderea, and not that of public enemies, entitled if captured to be considered as prisoners of war. We find our-. selves driven by our enemies by steady progress to ward a practice which we abhor, and which we arc vainly struggling to avoid. Some of the military authorities of the United States seem to suppose that better success will attend a savage war, in which no quarter is to be given, and no age or sex to be spared, than has hitherto been secured by such hostilities as are alone recognised to be lawful by civilised men in modern times. " For the present we renounce our right of re taliation on the innocent, and shall continue to treat the private enlisted soldiers of General Pope's army as prisoners of war ; but if after notice to the Government at Washington of our continuing re pressive measures to the punishment only of com missioned officers, who are willing participants in these crimes, the savage practices are continued, we shall reluctantly be forced to the last resort of ace cepting the war on the terms chosen byour foss, until the outraged voice of a common humanity forces a respect for the recognised rules of war. While these facts would justify our refusal to exercise the generous cartel by which we have consented to liberate an excess of thousands of prisoners held by us beyond the number held by the enemy, a sacred regard to plighted faith, shrinking from the mere semblance of breaking a promise, prevents our re sort to this extremity. "Nor do we desire to extend to any other forces of the enemy the punishment meted above by Gene ral Pope and such commissioned officers as chose to participate in his infamous orders. " You are therefore instructed to cmmunicate to the commander-in-chief of the armies of the United States the contents of this letter and a copy of the enclosed general order, to the end that . he may be notified of our intention not to consider any officers hereafter captured from General Pope's army as prisoners of war. Very respectfully yours, &c., "JEFF. DAVIS, " General R. E. Lee, commanding, &c. The Dispatch says :—" A gentleman direct from the neighbourhood informs the P etersburgh Express, that the Yankee Vandals are roaming over the counties of Nasemond and Isle of Wight stealing negroes, bacon, and horses, and arresting every citizen whose loyalty to the Confederate States is known. The loss to the Confederate States in bacon and lard in that section will be immense. Several Yankee officers have escaped, one of them named Marston, a lieutenant in a New York regi ment. Others have escaped, namely Lieat.-Colonel W. B. Hatch, Captain S. M. Oakly, Lieutenant W. B. Masters, Lieutenant Wtn. Biddle, and T. A. Murphy. THE MURDER OF GENERAL M'COOK. NASHVILLE, THURSDAY, August 7, 1862. The city is in a perfect uproar of excitement over the details of the death of the brave General M'Cook, of Ohio. His remains arrived in town to-night, and are now, lying at the Commercial Hotel. On Tuesday last General Rob ert a Mu ambulance o M'Cook, who was at the time very sick, was near Salem, Alabama, on his way to his brigade. The ambulance was travelling over the u sua l tary road, and, about ten o'clock in the morning, it e A si f c te k r e e n fr e e r s a h l i . n I g n t t h e e l I m i g s e e n l selves o t f h h e i y s w p a h s e s r e e d . arrived at a planta tion where th ere was abundance d condition was qui c kl y sprea d , i t i s sup :o b on f water.utsh o ut s witht fhanoerth before driver the ambulancediscov e red that h he d e w proceeded pursued rilmiles, the guerillas. It was impossible to think of flight, and General. M'Cook's condition prohibited any idea of rescuing him. The rebel leader ordered the ambulance to stop, the assassins at the time surrounding it. The vehicle was then upset and the sick officer turned into the road. While on his knees, helpless, sick, and pleading for quarter, he was fired at by a ruffian and shot through the side. The wound was fatal—General M'Cook surviving it but a few hours. He bore his sufferings heroically, and to the last manifested an undaunted spirit. His last words were :—Tell Aleck (alluding to his brother, Gene ral Alexander M , Dowel M'Cook) and the rest that I have tried to live like a man and do my duty. When the news of the murder became known among the camps, the excitement was intense. The 9th Ohio, M'Cook'S own regiment, on learning of the assassination, marched back to the scene of the occurrence, burned every house in th e al and laid waste the lands. Several men who were implicated in the murder, were taken out and hung to trees by the infuriated soldiery. The guerilla feeling throughout the state is in creasing rapidly, and svbandsflhreoefdttrhianeintsoel arotb came abieffrdw e s roe a n r n e t forming in every hamlet.

It is rumoured that a number of prominent seces siouiEts in the city have been shot to-night by exasperated Unionans.
