" 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 th e var i ous 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.

STADIPED, 5p FRANCE AND ITAZY. 1 It is not an uncommon figure of rhketoric to sug gest against ourselves an accusation w.hich we are fully competent to answer. The triump h may be rather a cheap one, but still it is a triumph, and how few people stop to weigh its exact magnitude), or see through the logical artifice by which it has j!een. obtained ! Such, we cannot help thinking, has b eels the object of a very dexterous article bearing the impress of a semi-official character which hair .ap peared in the Constitutionnel. There are many things which any one writing in a spirit of cavil' or even severe criticism might find to reprehend in the conduct of the Emperor of the French with regard to Italy. He might be asked a series of questionto to which it would be very hard for him to find an answer. Why did he, professing himself the enemy of revolution, give himself the signal for !evolution by the quarrel which he forced upon Austria on the Ist of January, 1859 ? Why, having commenced his career and formally announced to the world the object which that career was to realise, did he sud denly stand still in th e ve ry midst of success, in ln e e oft ty e pre sence of a n o b stac l e w hi c h t h e reve l a ti ons a s to the real st a t e o f the garrison. stores, an d f ortress o f could Verona not sbeartitoluesof resistance? Solferin w,h o show y did he allow La of moriciere to take charge the Papal army, and s en d Ci aldini to destroy it ? How came, he to commit himself to a scheme of Italian Confe deration, which, notwithstanding authority and the power of its proposer, has never found a single hearty adherent ? How could he be so shortsighted as to break the peace of Europe andexpose his army and himself to the danger of a most disas trous reverse to raise up in united Italy a power far less obnoxious to French influence than the di vided and half-subjected Italy which existed under the yoke of Austria and the fetters of Naples ? These, and fifty other questions of a similar nature,. the Emperor of the French might have found it difficult to answer ; but the question which he has chosen to propose to himself involve no.difficulty at-all, The Emperor NapoleOn is asked, on the ono side, why he has not intervened to promote the cause of the liberation of Italy ; and, on the other, why he has not intervened to put down the revo lutionary movement. Before we consider the rea sons_. which the Emperor urges in defenc e of his abstinence from intervention in favour of or against Italian liberty, we may venture to suggest another answer which the modesty of the Imperial cate chumen has probably prevented him from mah* for himself. When a man is asked why he h_ done such and such a thing, it is assumed ti *Vile has not done it. Now, this is precisely the assump tion which the querist is not entitled to make, as the Emperor • did interfere for the revolution in Lombardy, and is now interfering against the re volution in the Papal States. The occupier of Milan and Brescia cannot, deny that he has done something by armed force to forward political changes, nor can the present holder of Viterbo, Velletri, and Orvieto pretend that he is not inter vening by armed force on the reactionary side. This consideration robs the article of a good deal 'of its interest, for it is, after all, nothing more nor less than an attempt to account for events which have not happened, and is besides, under the form. of a defence, the severest censure on the line of con duct which was actually pursued. When Napoleon tells us that it was impossible for him to take the revolutionary side without becoming the chief in stead of the moderator of the revolution, he pro nounces the severest censure possible on himself; and when he shows that he could not take the reactionary side without betraying his origin as the elect of universal suffrage, he reflects with equal bitterness on his own conduct. Still, though based on an inaccurate assumption, the article is interest ing; as showing in very clear and energetic lan guage what the Emperor Napoleon believes, or wishes Europe to believe, is the duty which his position in Europe casts upon him. He has made a profession of faith by which not only, as we have shown, his past, but his future actions, must be judged. The Emperor Napoleon cannot be accused. of undervaluing his own mission. "He holds a character from the universal suffrage by which he was elected, and an authority as Sovereign of France necessary to the good of Europe. On the other hand, he can be no accomplice to a revolutionary state of things; he shrinks from the contingency of a general war. He is the moderator of the re volution, the pacificator of Europe, the arbiter of questions relating to the balance of power, the re presentative of the national will." There was a time when European Sovereigns as little thought of descanting in official or semi-official documents on their greatness, their glory, or their power as of claiming two-and-fifty kingdoms, like the Turk, or a near relationship to the sun and moon. But we live in other times, and the established maxims of good sense and modesty must change like every thing else. Pretensions which ancient and long established potentates may repudiate as tinctured with vulgarity may find place more naturally in the mouth of the founder of a dynasty which exults in the appellation of parvenu. l'he Emperor might have left it to others to invest him with the magni ficent title' of "Pacificator," "Arbiter of Europe," and "Moderator of Revolution.' Such names are honourable indeed when conferred by the common consent and felling of mankind, but of little weight when assumed without that preliminary sanction. As having some right to speak on behalf of a coun try which has not always been last in the camps or councils of Europe, and which till lately has not been accustomed to hear without comment or with out protest such assumptions of superiority by one great Power over its fellows, we bpg to remark t hat Europe does not recognise in the Emperor of the French either its pacificator or its arbiter. A pacificator is one who neither originates nor fosters war ; an arbiter is one to whose justice, fairness, and absence of indirect or selfish motives mankind are willing to submit their differences. The con queror of Magenta and Solferino is no pacificator. The Sovereign who made war for an idea, and ended it for a province, may be great in the executive, but can lay little claim to the impartiality of the judicial character. The word "arbiter" has another sense too offensive to be attributed. We cannot suppose that even in a semi-official document the Emperor would designate himself as the master of Europe. That as yet, he is not ; and, if he were, he would do more wisely to emulate the moderation of he first Cwsars, who condescended to associstethear equals with men of whose lives and fortunes - could dispose as absolute masters. ar ticle is its To us the most agreeable part of the dui Italy is conclusion, "An organized and powg This is a henceforth for the interest of Eurof r e ier it may — a truth let it come from what qua recognised in truth we fear not always sufflcioefn pyroposed Italian the times not yet very remote_ destined, we trust, to federations, but still a truth , ra ctical verities b p take its place among those y - are henceforth to be which the destinies of nations ruled and determin ed. We hope the time is not it may meet with the approbation of an Europea n ve ry remote when Congress. Such bodies ought rarely to be called in d 'n to alter by the vote of a majority the ri g hts and the Governments of man kind, but they have nevertheless a mission of the most indisputable utility when they serve to record and give solemnity and validity to changes which popular will or the fortune of arms has brought about. We do not despair that the day ill arrive w hen the three Northern P owers w who have just met at Warsaw, apparently to commemorate their joint exploit—the partition of Poland,—and to recall to the memory of mankind the detested tradition of the Holy Alliance, will unite to acknow ledge the crown which Italy has just placed on the brow of Vict or Emmnnuel, and to give their sanc tion to a revolution, successful in spite of their earnest protests and bitterest reclamations.— Times. UICIDE IN THE SERPENTINE.—Last evening Mr. Bedford, the coroner, held an inquest in the vestry room, Mount -street, on the body of William Smith, aged 42 years, who destroyed his life under the following _cir cumstances :—From the evidence it appeared that on Mon day morning last the deceased left home, as it was believed, to proceed to' his employment. About seven o'clock the same morning, however, ho was seen by a man named Harris to get upon the parapet of the bridge crossing the Serpentine, and before he could reach him the deceased plunged into the water. Harris raised an alarm, and John Parson, the deputy supetintendent of the Royal Humane Society, together with police-constable Lloyd, 97 A, were quickly on the spot, and at once proceeded to the rescue of the deceased. The deceased, before assistance arrived, ' o l° seen to rise to the surface and throw up his arms, and 6 1' to sink.
