" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no matter of sip priSe that he should enjoy the reputation of being, a most dexterous and skilful manipu'ator with ureflinj insrsi.snents ; and when it Is remembered that the lam ented Listffh used t 6 assert that the introduction of Instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them was the most difficult in the whole ihnge of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part to have achieved the reputation he has in this respect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

MESMERIC INFIRMA Yesterday the annual general meeting of the friends of this institution was held at Willis's Rooms, St. James's, the night lion. the Earl of Dunraven in the chair. There was a full and fashionable attendance. The noble CHAIRMAN, in commencing the proceedings of the meeting, congratulated them and all the friends of mesmerism as to its relative position now and 10 or 12 years since when he first turned his attention to the subject. Whatever society they then went into they heard mesmerism spoken of as an imposition and a chi mera, which was to be put down by the writers in re views and magazines, but now it was impossible to go amongst educated people and hear the subject mentioned without perceiving that a great majority of the people more or less believed in it ; and if they did not believe in the highest phenomenon of mesmerism, they saw it was a matter that could be no longer treated as a hum bug or pooh poohed, hut deserving scientific investigation. (Hear.) When, through the kindness of Dr. Elliotson, he first witnessed one of these phenomena he experi enced great delight at the time, but he soon saw it was not to be used as a pl a y thi ng , an d he accordingly set to work to ascertain its truth. After devoting many months to the examination of the subject, he was per fectly satisfied in the reality of all the phenomena of mestneries, from the lowest to the highest--that of clairvoyance. (Hear.) And he never felt 'any shame or hesitation in acknowledging his conviction. It occurred to him that although mesmerism was a beautiful and marvellous phenomenon. it had higher purposes to fill than exciting.their imagintion or interesting their in tellect, and the saw plainly it was, as it had been stated by Mr. Sanbv, " a gift given by God with which to al leviate the sufferings of mankind, " and that thegreat point for them to strive to attain was to place it on such a foot- • ht ing that some institution might be established wherein mesmerism might be practised simply as a remedial agent (Mgr.) How successful it bad been in accom `plisbing that object they all knew, and it was not his _ _ intention to enter into the details of that success in their institution, or the experiments there carried on, because that would be done by more able hands who would ad dress them. He felt he should not be doing juctice to his own feelings if he failed to say one word in admira tion of, and in gratitude to, one individual who had eon- tributed to the advance of mesmerism, for wherever mesmerism was mentioned the name of Elliotson was revered. (Applause.) Dr. Elliotson, by the open and indefatigable zeal he had displayed from the commence ment, to investigate the truth of the science, had lost the Fympathy and support of many of the members of that profes , ion of which he was a distinguished orna ment, and if he had not outlived their obloquy, he had merited and obtained the approbation of all those who loved to see truth flourish and fully carried out, and had earned the gratitude of hundreds, and the good opinion of thousands of his poor suffering fellow-creatures. (Appian...) If they agreed with him' that mesmerism, as a curative agent, should be adopted and fully carried out, he called on them to support the institution, and take a deep interest in it by visiting it with theirfriends, and indit,e them to become subscribers to it with them. Those who were already subscribers to the institution could_ not show their devotion and belief in the science better than by doubling the amount of present sub scriptiens, to allow the institution thereby to increase its benefits. (Applause.) Dr. ELLIOTSODT then read the report of the committee, which was an elaborate and highly-interesting document. At t‘ , e commencement of the year they had 47 patients on the books, since which they had had 204 more, making a total, for the year, of 251. Of that number 69 had been cured, 9 had nearly completed their cure, 49 had been improved to a greater or less extent, and 41 were still under treatment. The cures exceeded by 27 those of the preceding year. The report mentioned cures that had been effected of St. Vitus's dance, nervous affec- tions, asthma, contraction of the hand with a sore in the palm, derangements of the digestive organs, affections of the skin, scrofula lupus, palsy. &c., and one case of dropsy in a female who was suffering from an ovarian tumour at the same time. This atient, after being in the hospital and once tapped, Wks told she must have an operation performed, which she objected to ; and after 'being tapped three times was discharged as incur able. She suffered greatly after that, and was in that state that she hoped death would terminate her suffer ings. She was tapned altogether 55 time., and in all 495 gallons were drawn froip her. Under mesmeric treatment she had recovered, and was 'that day in the room. The report bore ampie testimony to the assiduity of the eccretary and the officers of the institution. The Rev. G. SANDY moved the reception and ad'op- tion of the report, which; he said, was bah interesting and instructive. It was interesting to them who were met together in behalf of this good cause to know that the institution was progressing so favourably, was ad vancing so steadily, and remedying so much evil ; and it was instructive from the details it gave of the manner in which nv.inn-rism operated. He hoped, when the report was printed, it would be read attentively, and considered both by the friends of the cause and its enemies. The institution was admirably conducted, everything being regulated in a proper and careful manner ; and he fear ' lessly asserted there was not another institution in the kingdom where a better system of order and regularity prevailed. When a patient entered the institution be was questioned as to the hospitals he bad been in and the treatment he had there received, and also from his own medical attendant, and the suffering ho had endured, and was informed he would have to attend regularly for some time, dependent on the nature of his malady, but by no means to imagine he would derive miraculous effects from the treatment at once. All the cases, with their progress. were registered in a book, so that, in ten years hence, if any person wished to know the particu lar condition of a patient, at any particular hour, it could be furnished. By that means they were accumn- lating a mass of valuable mesmeric statistics, available for the future prosecution of the science; as knowing to what diseases the great curative agent was more imme diately applicable. He congratulated them on holding this their sixth annual meeting on a science they were told, a few years since, was ridiculous, and when their mesmerisers were opposed, and those who attended their meetings were laughed at. They were now forcing their way in spite of the opposition they had met with, and this institution had taken root, and would be a per manent thing amongst them. He was much struck with a remark in the report, that one of their cures was equivalent to several cured by other means. He should like to have an investigation by a committee similar to the Sebastopol committee, of the comparison of cures made by their institution (which took in the refuse of other hospitals, allowance being made for their limited means) with that of other hospitals, and he had no doubt they would stand in a very advantageous position. The result of such a comparison would also show similar re sults to-that of the Sebastopol committee, that it was the love bf medical routine and medical red-tapism that prevented the people from calling to their aid that great power which nature had so providentially and bounti fully afforded them ; and rather than hurt the feelings of their friends who were medical men they allowed their relatives to die. Mesmerism was a great truth in nature, and he considered they were madmen not to employ it when they knew its advantages. He was glad to see so many, ladies present, because they possessed more moral courage than men. They spoke their minds when men were afraislof offending their medical practitioner, and he called o/Khem to stand forth and insist on mesmerism being tried before all other remedies had failed. (Hear.) Having witnessed the attention paid at the infirmary to the patients. and the thankfulness they expressed for the benefit they had derived from the treatment, he con sidered they were arrived at a point from which they could not be driven back. The institution had taken deep root, and for which they had reason to thank God, and take courage to go on and defy all opposition. Mr. JAlrsorr, of Exeter, seconded the motion. He had been unexpectedly called on to do so. and was not prepared with a speech for the occasion. The beat thing he could therefore do, was to give them some informa tion of the progress of the science in that part of the country in which he resided. He was located at Exeter, and he knew of no provincial town where it had made a greater progress than in that city. He had often asked the question why it had not progressed the same in other large towns, such as Birmingham, Sheffield, Leeds, and Manchester. He wished all persons in the provinces would exert themselves, and try if they could not estab lish something like a mesmeric movement, and give them the result of their exertions at similar meetings to that, which would greatly add to their interest. They had effected many excellent things at Exeter, to many of which he referred, but which it was needless for him to enumerate in detail, as they must be well known to the readers of the Zoist. Captain HUDSON, of Leeds, mo ve d th e second resolu tion, and in doing so, observed that in his part of the country the advocates of mesm er i sm l e f t no means un tried by which to advance the science and benefit the afflicted. He had delivered 50 lectures on the subject at Liverpool, 58 in Huddersfield, and 90 in its neigh bourhood, and he had just finished his 80th lecture in Leeds. He regretted ther e was not more opposition, for if there was they would p rogress more rapidly. At one of his , meetings he bad 14 d octors and six c l ergymen present. • The latter and four of the former were friends of the science, and before the meeting terminated he succeeded in passing two resolutions in his favour. The brother of one of the medical profession present most opposed to the science declared his conversion to the principle of mesmerism, and that he would do all he could in its furtherance. He appealed to the ladies to exert themselves in the movement, because he had always found them the best men of business. (Laughter.) Wherever he went, instead of ten opposing him, he found a hundred supporting him, because he showed them there was a p ower connec t e d with mesmerism cal culated to do an infi n ite a mount of good. After giving instances of the cures he had effected (including that of -a medical man) by mesmerism, he moved that Major- General Bagnold be elected a vicepresident. Mr. MONCKTON Mums seconded the r esolution. The greatest amount of opposition the science received was from scientific men, which appeared to many persons to be a great misfortune, and inclined them to think ill of much men in consequence. He was of a different opinion, -‘r thou g ht it was their good fortune to live in amongst scientific people, and which —hv'they might hope mesmerism 1 . by the exertion of honest ewe, Mesmerism had and raEu— scientific age ant, was a special reason would become successful, -any., , men, take its proper plape fo± a'' Ibeen known for ages, and there was a glimmering of it to be seen in the history of medical science ; and it ap peared surprising that so beneficial and useful an agent should have appeared in the scientific world and then have disappeared again. It had been the same with the I great discoveries that bad been made in their time to I improve °lir physical . sciences. These elements of nature, I ether and chloroform, were no doubt known as early as the 12th century, but, from the want of scientific i investigation, and a sufficient interest to take them up and perfect them, were allowed to die away as if they never existed. Vaccination was known in Snain years before it was discovered and applied in England ikyJenner. !All scientific persons agreed that the discovery of an y par ticular elements in natal-a was not of so much importance as the disc , )very of the existence of a sufficienly intelli gent community to understand, receive, and practise them. Therefore it was that he was glad to see so large an attendance at that meeting, who he hoped would de part with the conviction that they who believed in the truth of mesmerism would see it become a practical science: When they were charged with being supersti tious for holding such views, be repliel they were not so•--that the superstition was on the other aide, by those who wished to get out of the domain of ordinary nature, and attribute all those things to fanciful and accidental causes. The advocates of the science wished them to be aken as phenomena of simple events, which would in due time accumulate till they could be recognised under special laws, and be established as a full and perfect science. (Applause.) It was on that account that be believed reasonable men interested themselves in this subject, and that he always felt some doubts as to the reasoning faculties and the power of receiving evidence on the part of those scientific men, and unfortunately there were many who said they could see nothing in the science. He had arrived at his conviction from a know ledge of facts, and not from being led away by anything surprising or curious. He wished them to confine their attention to this matter as regarded medical science. Those interesting and wonderful phenomena of mesme rism connected with the mind, were of a totally different character, imperfectly understood now, and- likely_ to lea I persons away from a clear investigation of the simple facts. Mesmerism Was a great medical agent which ProvidenCe had given to mankind, which was not to be played with as a matter of Amuse ment, but to be applied seriously, and which might lead to bad or good effects if well or ill applied.; and, therefore, it was that he anticipated an enormous amount of benefit would be conferred on mankind when those principles became' implanted in the minds of an intelligent community, and they met the advocates of this science in a proper manner by bringing their friends to be operated on by the mesmeriser, but not as a last resource. So long as personssdid that, and tried their constitutions and damaged themselves in every way by other treatment before they became converts to this science, they must not be disappointed if they were not then set right. It would not be, giving mesmerism a fir o'iance until people applied to it as to any of the other healing arts—at the beginning of the disease. (Heat.) He hoped this infirmary would greatly pro mote that end, because then all the opposition of scien tific and medical men weuld.uot in any degree -be an_ impediment to the reception of truth, but rather useful in the end. Sensible men who wait to be converted' until the evidence-was almost too. strong for them, when they began to believe and receive those opinions would be their best supporters and earnestadvocatee, and its Would be among scientific men that mesmerism would achieve its conquest over the credulity of mankind. (Applause.) Major-General BAGNOLD said—ln offering you the mo tion now in my hand I shall merely say that my pre sence hero, I trust, is a guarantee that I firmly and im plicitly believe in the curative powers of mesmerism, and yet I confess that for many years of my life no person could have doubted or ridiculed the whole question more 'than I did. Guess, then, my astonishment at finding that what I hasi reject :d when presented to me in the repulsive shape of religious jugglery was founded on a simple fact in nature, and one as demonstrable by a little'patient inquiry as any schoolboy's first lessons, in electricity or chemistry. But if I felt a degree of shame and regret for opportunities lost of acquiring a useful know ledge, what will: eventually be the shame and disgrace of those scientifically educated men whose particular province is to look into nature's truths and make them known, but Who, instead of doing so, abuse and revile those who would do this work for them? However, I do not totally despair of the medical profession. 'I have myself made some converts from that body, sa• far, at least, as belief goes—sbut, alas, I cannot, I fear, find their moral courage to avow and practice it. A talented young medical friend of mine, not long since acting House-surgeon at one of our principal London hospi tals, at my suggestion put it to the proof by trsing it on a most frightful case of hysteria that had baffled every other treatment. He succeeded to his perfect sa tisf iction, and his poor patient left the hospital with prayers and blessings on his head. In the warmth of his feeling:: he promised me the case for pubiication— but when the time came he declined saying, " with am ple proof as to the fact I dare not publish it; but I trust a time will come when more independent of the heads of my profession I can put them at de - fiance. 4 At pre sent it would ruin me." But ladies, it is to you I would particularly address mysel, you who by your nature and your Christian education, are ministering angels in sick ness and suffering. Are you aware of the powers you possess in healing the sick, or at least assuaging pain by a few patient waves of your hands ? That in this power you possess a mine of wealth you can dispense to others, and, like tho widow's cruise of oil, is inexhaustible—that in your own family-circle of relatives and friends it is in valuable, and to the poor often more acceptable than pecu niary relief ? Parlor. my enthusiasm, but I feel the time is not far distant when it will be ascornmon for the etrong and powerful to give out a little of their superabundant health to the sick and weakly as it is now for the rich and affluent to give their surplus wealth to the poor and needy. And now, ladies and gentlemen, let me close my appeal to you with the remark, that jnfirtnartes cannot be kept up on good luck and wishes alone. We then offer you the assurauce that what pecuniary assistance you can give us shall be faithfully and economically applied. Mr. ADOLPHE DEIST seconded the motion. Mr. PIIRLA.ND moved the appointment of the ladies' committee, with an especial vote of thanks to Mrs. Hain .. ileton, of St. John's-wood-road, for her great liberality ;owards the funds of the infirmary and the embellish- ment of the house. That lady, he said, had expended upwards of'lool. at the infirmary, in addition to 301. presented to the funds, which showed how much could be done by those who had the means if they were deter mined to support this science. Dr. ELLIOTSON seconded the motion, and bore testi mony to the great benevolence of Mrs. Hatnbleton, to whom the institution was much indebted for her libera lity, and for which it was impossible the committee could adequately express their thanks of its value as an example and stimulant to others. Mi. LEWIS, a gentleman of colour, in moving the fifth resolution, said he advocated the science for the sake of suffering humanity, having witnessed its wonderful ef fects iu Africa, America, and the East and West Indies ; and be felt certain that when the subject was more gene rally known and fully understood by the public they would avail themselves of it. He alluded to the intro duction of the science into Edinburgh. A few years since mesmerism was considered there to be a humbug, and that there was no truth in it, but he knew of no city where it was now making such rapid strides as in Edinburgh. The Rev. J. DUNS seconded the resolution, believing the institution deserving of support. Captain HUDSON moved a vote of thanks to the officers of the institution, which was seconded by Dr. STILES. A. vote of thanks was accorded to the noble chairman, who, in acknowledging the compliment, said it afforded him great pleasure to contribute in any way be could towards the object in which they were all so deeply inte rested. He hoped before long the large towns of Eng land would establish a similar institution to that they had in the metropolis. INSOLVENT PETITIONERS. J.

( From Bell's Life ) Having, in our report of the Manchester Meeting, designated the scratching of Neville for the Trades' Cup, after the horse had been backed by the public up to the last moment, a " disgraceful proceeding," we have re ceived a letter from Mr. William Robinson, of Richmond, Yorkshire, the owner of the horse, in which he affects to "feel considerably surprised at the remark," and says, "As I am sure the facts have been unfairly represented 'to you, I think it only right that I should give some explanation." This " explanation," however, Mr. Robi nson wishes us to consider as "confidential," owing to his objection to "appearing in print ;" but in this light Is e cannot regard it, and as the affair has been freely com mented on in sporting circles, we consider it due to the public, who were the sufferers on the occasfon, to give Mr. Robinson's " explanation" in full. Mr. Robinson says : " This horses feet are, and always have been, very tender, and to this cause I attribute his very easy defeat for the Derby last year ; and so anxious was I, however, that no person should lose money on him at Manchester, I told every person who asked me at Epsom Races, aid also in London, on the Saturday and Sunday following, that if the ground continued so hard he would not run. When I arrived at Manchester on the Tuesday evening I made this no secret. I told the whole of my friends what were my intentions, and took every pains to make the public aware that I had not backed the horse; and in the event of rain not falling before the race, I would not risk the horse for such a stake, as the chances were, if he did ran over such ground, he would be ruined for life. If, there fore,.the public, in the face of this, would back the horse, it is their fault, not mine. I beg most distinctly to say, there is no party connected with any horse of mine run ning in my friend Mr. Clarkson's name. My trainer, Winteringham, has other employers, no doubt, none of whom have the slightest interest in any of my horses ; nor would I allow them to interfere in the management of my horses in any way." Upon the above we need only remark that, notwith standing Mr. Robinson, as he states, expressed to his friends and those who asked him, at Epsom and Man chester, his intention not to start Neville if the ground continued hard, the horse was allowed to remain in the betting and to be backed by the public, as well, if we mistake not, by certain of Mr. Robinson's own friends, until almost the last moment, when one of the latter be coming suspicious of an under current, put it to the test by offering to bet a pony or 501. that the horse would not start, though, thoughout the morning, as stated in our report, he had been backed at evens against the field ! In conclusion, whilst giving Mr. Robinson the full benefit of his " explanation," we have no hesitation in repeating our o pi n i on th a t it was a "disgraceful pro ceeding." The Tribunal of Correctional Police of (Metz has just been occupied two days in trying six employ& of the Strasburg railway, for having, by their imprudence and neglect of the regulations, caused two trains to run into each other on the 21st of April, between the stations of Metz and Courcelles, whereby five persons were killed, and fortnight's 3 fi i n m e, - and several others were seriously injured. The trial George Sand, or Dude ended by the condemnation of one of the accused, named Collin, to a year's imprisonment, and 300 f. fine, of m e c e e . a sed mother, Presse , wo had gi v gives a M n a d th of ie t t h i, e to ot s h i e x rs m , months imprisonment, s i i m x p w ri e s e o k o s m t e o nt a , prisonment. vent, in the last feuilleton of her life in L an A am ß u E s 4T ing ic a s c s c W ou:t m o l f lr. h — er M d hatred of repose :—" She would bu bonnet, because she thought it charming.y, for instance, a of the day she bought it, she would find The evening take off the ribbons, and then the flowers..find it hideous— lace—and change the arrangementtake out the taste.

She took a fancy for herself as a blonde for awhile, then she abused herself for being flaxen, and chose to be a bright chestnut. Presently she returned to ashy pale locks—then went back to her own mellow black hair—and this to such purpose that I saw her with different hair for every day in the week. This childish frivolity did not exclude laborious occupation and very minute domestic cares. She had her own de lights of imagination, and would read the romances of M. d'Arlincourt a ith positive frenzy—far into the night —but that did not hinder her from being astir at Sis in the morning, to begin anew her toilettes, her excursions,. her needlework, her merriment, her despair, and her fi i i of passion." •
