" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. 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. let, 1858.

A Court of Common Council was held yesterday, at Guildhall—the Lord Mayor presiding. THE PROPOSED NEW LOCAL A report came up from the Corn, Coal, and Finance Committee, recommending the Court to petition Parliament against the South London Railway Bill, on the ground that it would inter fere with the corporation's almshouses at Brixton. Mr. Deputy HARRISON explained that the com tnittee hoped to come to a satisfactory arrangement with the company, and the report was then agreed to. Mr. Deputy ROWER brought up a report from the Improvement Committee upon the fulfilment by the Metropolitan Railway Company of the terms of their agreement with the corporation for autho rity to take the necessary steps for completing the arrangement, and recommending the appoint ment by the court of three of the directors of the company, and 40 members of the court to attend and vote at meetings of the shareholders. The report stated that the committee had ascertained from *the officers of the corporation that the com pany had fulfilled their share of the terms of the agreement, and the committee recommend that £60,000 being the amount of deposits and calls due wpon the 20,000 shares taken by the corporation, should be paid over to the company upon the trans. ference of the shares, In moving the adoption of the report, the Deputy said it would be for the benefit of the corporation that the contract made by them with the company should befairly carried out. And, in fact, they bad but litttle choice, since their con tract was to take 20,000 shares, as soon as the com pany should gPt together 65,000 taken up, and this, there could be no doubt, had been accomplished. The works were actively commenced, and now they were shareholders any delay in the completion of the line must be to the disadvantage of the corpo ration in that respect, to say nothing of the loss they were sustaining from their land lying idle and un productive—land which they had gone to such an enormous expense to clear—or of the facilities which the line would give for establishing a dead meat market in Smithfield. He hoped, therefore, no delay would take place, nor could he see how any unprejudiced member of that court could do or say anything to cause delay, or obstruct the comple tion of so beneficial an undertaking. Several members objected to proceeding to dis cuss the report until it had been printed and cir culated, expressing doubts whether the conditions, subject to which the Court bound themselves to take 20,000 shares in the undertaking had been strictly fulfilled, and more especially as to the calls of £3 having been actually paid upon the other 65,000 shares. In proof of the actual fulfilment of their share of the contract by the company, dissentients were referred to the statement presented to their own officers, as well as by the directors of the company ; but, notwithstanding, an amendment was moved to postpone the consideration of the re port until it should be printed and circulated. Alderman ROSE said the Court had entered upon the contract after full consideration, and were bound to execute it. Alderman HALE thought the propriety of such a contract very questionable. Alderman CUBITT had up to that time abstained from taking part in any discussion upon any rail way intended to be brought into the City of Lon don, but he felt bound now to say that they had entered into a contract which they were bound fairl♦ and honourably to carry out without delay, relying upon the information of their own officers and their own committee as to the terms of the contract having been fulfilled on the other side. Some time ago it became known. that the corpo ration agreed to take 20,000 shares. Upon their faith in that contract, people out of doors took other shares, and it would look like a breach of faith with the public, if the corporation were to attempt to draw back now, or in any way to delay the execution Qf the works [hear]. After some further discussion the amendmeit was declared to be lost upon a show of hands, a result which was affirmed upon a division by 86 to 41 ; majority, 47. The original motion was then agreed to. Deputy HARRISON then brought up a report recommending that the £60,000 should be paid from the City's cash, out of the balance in the hands of the Chamberlain. The report was agreed to nem. dg's., and sent back to the Corn, Coal, and Finance Committee for execat ion. Deputy BOWER brought np a report from the Improvement Committee, recommending the Court to petition Parliament against the Great Northern, Holborn, and City Extension Railway, which was intended to cross Smithfield, on the site of the pro posed dead meat market, at an elevation of 31 feet above the level of the streets, and stating that it would cross many streets in the same way, and act prejudicially in many ways, but more especially on account of the near approach of its terminus to the Bank. Mr. Cox regarded this lino of railway as being one of the greatest improvements that could be introduced into the City, but would not oppose the report, as it was necessary t• place themselves in a position to oppose in Parliament if it should become necessary. Mr. MC JERSEY thought this scheme one of the maddest that had ever been broached in connection o n now 659 beforeacres, with the City. The wh o l e area o of the City o f Lon donpr oof which the new railway take per w a s schemes Parliamentut up 53 acres. He hoped that the corporat i on wou ld oppose this bill heart end soul, for it wou ld cross mo re than forty streets and alleys, and some of them —Victoria•street, for instance—at a height of up wards of 60 feet. Mr. Deputy HARRISON said that its t s a ton would occupy sixteen acres within the City, and would render necessary the removal of an enormous amount of corporation property. • The report was then agreed to. A similar report was brought up by Mr. Deputy BOWER, with regard to the London, Chatham and Dover Railway Bill, the ground of objection being that the line would cross Ludgate-hill and other thoroughfares upon arches, and that much incon venience and deterioration of property might there by be occasioned. The deputy, however, in ex planation, said that the principal objects sought to be attained by opposing the bill, was to get an alteration made in the height at which it was pro posed to cross Ludgate•hill, which was only sixteen feet ; and in the opinion of the committee much too low. The report was agreed to.

The great depth of StIONV which covered the maorlands in the North Riding commenced disap pearing on Sunday, and on Monday the whole course of the rivers Rye, Leven, Costa, and Der went was flooded. On Tuesday morning the watery waste which presented itself was the cause of great consternation. During the night the waters had risen so rapidly that the whole length of the vales of Rye, I)erwent, and York was inun dated for great distances on each side of the respective rivers. Many thousands of acres of wheat, newly sown before the snow, are under water to a great depth, and the seed totally lost. The few turnips, too, which had escaped the disease, and were kept for spring are also flooded, some four feet deep, and will be wasted. In Rydale, in a farmer's sheepfold, on turnips, several drowned sheep were found ; and nearer Halton some parties have had to wade breast-high in the water t rescue their cattle. For miles the hedges have totally disappeared. It is many years since so high a flood has been witnessed. On Tues day night u heavy fall of snow set in, and there is every probability of the waters rising still higher. The merchants' yards and premises in Mallon are all flooded, and the occupants of some cottages in Norton are compelled to reside upstairs, the houses being surrounded by water and filled with it in the lower rooms. The trains between York and Scar borough can only just travel. The highroads in the low country are in some places more than a yard deep in water.-31anchester Exan2iner and . Times. PARIS, FEB. 9.

The Presse states, besides, that an official despatch reeeived from Constantinople, dated the 7th inst., mentions nothing' of an insurrection. MARSEILLES, FEB. 9. Lettere received from Constantinople to the Ist inst. state that general dissatisfaction prevailed in Turkey. The complaints against the administra tion of the Grand Vizier were increasing, and it was believed that the Sultan will dismiss him on account of his unpopularity. The Dutch Minister had been insulted by an eunuch in a street of Pera, and had demanded satisfaction. The Turkish Government has promised to with draw the paper money from circulation next month. Information causing suspicions against Prince Danielo has been received by the Porte. Intrigues of Prince Milosch for obtaining the complete inde pendence of Servia had also been discovered. The suzerainty of the Sultan was not mentioned by Prince Couza in the constitution. Agitation prevailed in SerVia. The tranquillity of Bosnia and Roumelia was also threatened. The Porte therefore had reminded the Powers of their en gagement to defend the integrity of the Turkish Empire. MADRID, FEB. 9.

The commissioners find that the election in April, 1859, was conducted by and on the part of each of the candidates in a corrupt and illegal manner, and that corrupt and illegal practices extensively pre vailed. They set forth the names of 98 persons who were guilty of bribery in respect of the votes of other persons; 86 who were guilty in respect of their own votes ; and 12 who "were guilty of acts of bribery and not on one side only, but on both." They find that Mr. W. H Leathern expended, through his agents, a sum of money amounting "at least" to £3,900, of wbich all but £478 7s 6d. was disbursed in illegal payment ; and that on behalf of Mr. J. C. D. Charlesworth a sum of at least £4,150, of which only £652 10s. passed through the hands of the election auditors, was expended, the residue being disbursed in illegal payments. Of the ex penditure of a sum of between £l,BOO and £1,900 by Mr. Gilbert, through whom the bribery on be half of Mr. Leatham was carried on, the commis sioners say : " We find that Mr. W.ll. Leatham provided the monies with the intention that they should be em ployed, In part at least, in bribery and corruption, and that before the said monies were provided Mr. W. H. Leatham had anticipated and suspected, by reason of his observation of what had previously taken place at elections for the said borough, that corrupt practices would probably be had recourse to in order to defeat him, and that he intended to make use of the like means in order to secure his own return." After detailing the ingenious method in which Mr. Charlesworth's money was placed out, the commissioners add, speaking more particularly of a sum of £1,600. "We find that Mr. J. C. D. Charlesworth, having provided the fund out of which the bribery, in fact, was afterwards carried on on his behalf, designedly abstained up to the eleciion from in quiring as to the manner in which that fund was being employed, having before the slo2tion the means of knowing and good grounds to suspect the manner of its disposal." The commissioners conclude their report as follows : " We find that large bodies of non-electors to the number of several hundreds on each side, and in cluding on Mr. Charlesworth's side at least several prizefighters, were employed by the respective can didates at wages varying from 3s. 6d. to ss. a man per diem for some time before and up t• the day of election. These men were ostensibly employed as watchers and runners for the purpose of de tecting and preventing improper practices by the partisans of the opposing candidates respectively, but in our opinion not really for such purpose, but for the purpose partly of exercising an im proper influence upon the election, by the expen diture of large sums of money in the borough, both in payment of the non-electors themselves, and of the publicans whose houses they frequented, and where they were supplied with refreshment, and partly also for the purpose of causing intimidation and annoyance to the canvassers and voters of the opposing parties respectively. One case of actual abduction was proved before us, which will be found in tho evidence of the witness Abraham Lupton. We have been informed by the witnesses that the employment of non-electors in the manner described is an established practice at the Wake field elections. We find that it is without any necessity or legitimate object, that it impedes and interferes with the freedom of election, and that it causes intimidation and great annoyance to the voters on both sides, and furnishes cloaks for bribery and corruption in various ways. The fact found-by us that neither of the candidates thought proper to pay the non-electors through the election auditor, but adopted the alternative of paying them wages in a manner secret and declared i illegal by statute 17th and IStli Viet., c. 102, s. 18, satisfies us that the employment of the non-electors in the manner described was NT ell known to be unnecessary and illegal, but the provisions of that statute as to the payment of expenses through the auditor appear to have been made of no ac count whatever by either of the candidates. We find that itwas generally anticipated by the par tisans on both sides for some time before the said election that recourse would be had to bribery by their respective opponents, and we find that the fact that bribery was being carried en on both sides was, before the election, a matter of common notoriety throughout the borough, and ex cited but a scanty measure of disapprobation even on the part of those who did not actually join in the work of corruption. Lastly, we find, having regard to the length of time before the election at which the preparations for the work of corruption were commenced—to the large proportion (142 out of 866) of the whole constituency engaged in corrupt practices and guilty of bribery—to the number of persons (including 66, themselves electors) who voluntarilyjoined in the work of offering and giving bribes—to the zeal and skill they exhibited—to the readiness with which their services were received and their acts adopted—to the open way in which bribery was carried on by the canvassers and dis cussed amongst all classes—and to the manner in which the voters received and bargained with the canvassers on both sides, that large numbers of the electors were then not for the first time engaged in the like operations of gross corruption." Schedules are appended to the report, containing the names of persons who have been guilty of bri bery; others, also, of those who have received bribes. There is a small list of persons who have been guilty of bribery on both sides. LIBERALITY OF LADY FRANKLIN.—Each of the crew of the Fox has been considerately presented with a very handsome silver watch and chain, of the value of £lO.

From Chambery under date of the 7th of Febru ary the following appeal to the English people against the annexation of Savoy to France has been received. It is signed by 24 of the leading mcn of the capital of Savoy : " SAVOY TO THE ENGLISH PEOPLE. • " Chambery, Feb. 7. " During nearly the last six months some iodivi duals of Savoy, whose petitions, carried from house to house, have not succeeded in obtaining 20 re spe,:table-signatures, have formed the plot to make over Constitutional Savoy to the Imperial Govern ment of France. " The (outlier des Allies, which is their property and their organ, has since then never ceased to pro claim the unanimous adhesion of Savoy to those desires of annexation. "As long as those assertions remained within our mountain range, our quiet and proud population treated them with contempt. "But the Paris press has thought fit to make itself the echo of these falsehoods; the officious ac complice of supposed ambitions, it has endeavoured to lead opinion astray, and to deceive Europe by announcing a few isolated wishes to be the expres• sion of the sentiments of the whole of Savoy. "Silence and inaction were no longer possible. " On the 29th of January last an important de monstration was made at Chambery, the capital of Savoy. Nearly 3,000 citizens of every class, rank, land profes.ion—magistrates, lawyers, officials, doc tors, merchants, workmen, nearly all the officers of the National Guard, responding to the appeal of the patriotic committee constituted by themselves, met on the Champ de Mars, whence, with the na tional colours flying. they proceeded to the residence of the head of the Government, to declare publicly their wish to remain free under the Constitutional Government of Victor Emmanuel 11., the king, the honest —man, and the first soldier of Italian inde pendence. "In this concurrence of citizens, marching in ad mirable order and manly dignity to the accomplish ment of a great duty, there were, doubtless, many opinions mingled together ; but, putting aside the distinction of private and political views, all were united in one common devotion for their country and for liberty. " Such a manifestation was of a nature to excite the anger of the French press, so compliant to authority ; and we behold lately an incredible audacity of falsehood and calumnies dizhonou ring the journals of France. "The demonstration of the 29th January has been most unworthily misrepresented. "The English people, accustomed by the free ex ercise of freedom not to allow itself to be taken in, accustomed also by its well-founded distrust to be on its guard against perfidy and interested ambi tion, will not be deceived by such mano.uvres. "Threatened in her integrity, in her indepen dence, in her liberties, Savoy has counted upon Eng land. " Certainly, we have confidence in the loyalty and attachment to our country of Victor Emmanuel 11., in the straightforwardness and firmness of his Government, but we are also aware of the strength which power misled by error may wield in the world. "We come to you, people of England, because among all people you are great in liberty ; because your powerful voice, encouraging nations strug gling for their independence, can protect them by raising up insurmountable barriers before them. "Ia the name of those joint interests which unite peoples, do not allow that old Allobrogia, which de fended its territory and its rights against the ancient rulers of the world, to become now the ransom of their descendants ; do not allow a people, however small it may be, to be extinguished, to give liberty to a nation, however great it may become. " May your Government, the faithful exponent of hour sovereign orders, inform th e wor ld th a t S avo y, aving becom9 your ward in the hour of supreme danger, shall not be given up and sacrificed ! "The defence of our liberties is also the defence of the liberties of the world, which to-morrow, per haps, may be compromised by an ambition which a first success would render stionger and more exact ing.. _ _ _ " And, should ever a danger threaten the free soil of England, the ardent and mature devotion of the people protected and saved by you, by Eng• land, would afford you a secret and powerful sup port, which, joined to the patriotic energy of your children, would render you invincible." Illere follows the signatures.] MAJOR-GENP,RAI WILLIAMS ON TILE NATIONAL DEFENCES. Major-General Williams, of the Royal Engineers, who wrote upon the national defences in 1853, has just addressed a pamphlet to Mr. Sidney Herbert, in which he further developes his ideas on the sub ject of the defence of the south and south-eastern coasts, metropolis, and dockyards of England. The gist of the gallant officer's proposal is contained in the following sentences, although, as a whole, and taken from a military point of view, the pamphlet is well worth perusing : " I propose," says Major-General Williams, " to occupy Beachy Head by an entrenched work, capable of containing 15,000 men, and consider its occupation a matter of the highest importance. In time of war it would be a cover for a frontier garri son, ready to repel attack, and a depot for brigades of artillery for the coast service. If that remark able headland were left undefended it might be seized upon by an enemy, and become a secure base of operations. Two other works of a s:milar na ture, one on Ashdown-hill, and another on the north side of Mariscott-hill, with the fortifications at Chatham, would complete the chain from the Medway to the English Channel, and,in my humble opinion, form the best protection for the metropolis. Field works, consisting of a ditch and parapet of bold profile, with sufficient buildings only to contain in times of peace an adequate garrison for their protec tion, are alone intended. In time of alarm the proper number of troops would be located in each, hutting or encamping themselves as on any other active ser vice ; but every summer these posts should be oc cupied by several regiments, who, i n their drills and marches, should thoroughly explore all the country around, and should be instructed in the best mode.of defending it, and of communicating with the next posts. Stone platforms, sheds fir gun carriages, aid magazines must of course be established in each, and the guns and projectiles kept there in readiness. These posts should be connected by railways, and by electric telegraph cables laid in troughs underground ; by which means instantaneous communication might be had at all times, and simultaneous movements concerted. If this system were further acted upon by the occu pation of Shooter's-hill, for the protection of Wool wich, and by the construction of entrenched camps at Brighton and Portsdown-Ul, I believe the kingdom would be perfectly safe." The volunteer movement is supposed to be regarded with ridicule by military men. Major General Williams criticises it in a very generous spirit. "In my opinion," he says, " it is scarcely possible to overrate the im portance of the national ardour and determination evinced in the formation of volunteer artillery and rifle corps ; and although military men cannot re pose in them the confidence given to regular troops, it is very ungenerous and impolitic, either in speech or in writing, to discourage tke extension and com pletion of this new arm of strength. Such it will undoubtedly prove to be, if judiciously fostered and controlled by Government; and it will be well not to be parsimonious in supplying the wants of volunteers, who should not be called upon for any expense beyond their clothing."

One of the most extraordinary meetings for years past took place yesterday morning (or rather the proceedings were to have commenced at midnight on Tuesday), at the St. James's Restaurant, St. James's-hall, 69, Regent-street, in connexion with the important question of the great social evil. The meeting was none other than one of " fallen women," for the purposes of hearing prayer and addresses, and originated in this manner :—Some gentlemen connected with the Country Towns' Missions, English Monthly Tract Society, Female Aid Society, London Female Preventive and Refor matory Institution, the Trinity House, and other institutions, feeling anxious for the welfare of the multitude of fallen women who congregate every night in the Haymarket, Regent -street, and the principal casinos and cafés in the neighbourhood, resolved, after mature consideration, to attempt to convene some of those unhappy persons in a suit able place near those localities, were judicious ad dresses might be given, to be followed by prayer. The mode which to the conveners appeared most likely to succeed was to invite them to tea and. coffee ; and a neat card, enclosed in an envelope, was distributed among them at the casinos, cafes, and in the streets. indited as follows : " Tne favour of your company is requested by several friends, who will m ee t a t th e St. J ames ' s R-staurant, 69, Regent-street, to take tea and coffee together, on Wednesday night, Feb. 8, at 19 o'clock precisely." Some hundreds of these were distributed duringthe past few days, and, as will be seen, the experiment met with a great amount of success, notwithstand ing that many treated the matter with ridicule, while numerous others thought the whole affair a hoax. Such, however, it did not turn out to be; for shortly before midnight a large number of those unfortunate creatures arrived at the entrance of the St. James's Restaurant. Here they were shown into the large dining room of the hall, capable of bolding some hundreds of persons. Tnere was an abundant supply of tea and coffee, with bread and butter, toast, and cake, to which the strange assem bly did good justice, at the various tables about the room, and round which they clustered in small par ties of six or eight, chattin, over the peculiarity of the 'meting, and wondering what was to be the course of proceeding. The number graivally in creased till there must have been at least 500 per sons present, and these were solely composed of the unfortunate creatures whose moral and social condition the meeting had been convened to amelio rate, excepting some 30 or 35 clergymen and gentle men who had been instrumental in calling the nu cling. Of course, the meeting was not allowed to be a public one so far as regarded the admission of the other sex; for, had it been so, no doubt a very large number would have assembled out of curiosity, if not for any worse motive. While the repast was going on the principal gentlemen pre sent mustered together at a conspicuous spot for the purpose of addresses being delivered to the meeting. Among them were the Hon. end Rev. Baptist Noel, the Rev. W. Brock, the Rev. W. O'Neill, the Rev. Haughton, Mr. Latouche (the banker), Mr. W. J. Maxwell, Mr. Theophilus Smith, and others. Shortly after one o'clock the Rev. W. BROCK stepped forward and briefly opened the proceedings by stating the object of the meeting. • The Hon, and Rev. BAPTIST NOEL then addressed those assembled in an eloquent, yet pathetic and affectionate discourse, alluding to his hearers as his " dear young friends." He commenced by drawing a picture of the history of a virtuous woman from her childhood, pointing out the unspeakable love of the father and mother for the child, the association with sisters and brothers, the affection of the hus band, and at last the love which she herself bears her own children ; and then he compared that pic ture with the position of those who had erred from the paths of virtue. It was quite possible, how ever, he assured his hearers that some of them might yet be happy; they might ask him how, and say it was difficult to become so—aud so it was, he ad mitted, but it was not impossible, for they had a friend who was even more tender than the mother, and stronger in His love than the father; and One who would never desert them. He was a friend who would rescue them if they trusted in His bound less confidence. That friend was Jesus their Saviour, wlan had died for them ; He was with them in that room, as certain as possible, and just ready to be their friend ; therefore he entreateu them to turn to their Saviour. Their whole future depended upon whether they would have Him or not ; He eoulte take them to glory from a life which must end in perdition, could cleanse them of their sine, and carry them to God. If they asked him when to do 't he should say at once, and they would be happy for the rest of their lives ; if they believed in Flini they would be saved. The Saviour himself said, " God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Would they accept the offer or not ? He entreated them to accept it at once and be happy for ever, thew cheeks never fading, their conscience would sleep in peace, and they would live long to en joy tke the esteem of those who were good. Let theta resolution at once, and they would never le t r t ei s r e fr t o i ni t . The hon. and rev. gentleman then ref stating the several girls who had been reclaimed,bewent on to say happiness they felt, and d o , lt- Of course, it o b th e er, made , but they follow the course he pointe d that his young friends might ask ask how could they , an d it would must expect that, and hel p would require some sacr ificeeactho ultimately th at they had made the sacrifice. They might think they would not be a matter of regre t never be- loved again, but he told them they would. Therefore, let them say like others, " L et ns make th hr e e sa efr c o r ifi e Ce ;" for was it not better to be happy for ever than to walk on to the end which was not ? In conclusion, he exh or t e d them not to depart without heeding what he had said. Might the Lord accept his prayers,,and might H e a l so accept those unfortunate young creatures he was addressing, and to them he said, " Give up that which is contrary to the will of Jesus and say; I will take he ar t an d b e a child of God.' " The Rev, W. Brock, Rev. Mr. Ilaughton, Rev. W. O'Neill, and otheis then offered up prayers, and the effect produced by the earnest and touching appeal of the first-named gentleman, delivered iu a deep tone of voice, was most touching. It was announced that any present who repented their sins would be received into the London Re formatory or the Trinity Home, and that further arrangements would be made for the reception of others elsewhere if funds could he provided. The meeting broke up about 3 o'clock. The conduct of those present was highly credit able, and quite void of levity or contumely, and we may SE fely say that the experiment so far has been successful. the Yar ogne Feb. 8 eftY•2lM....
