COURTENAY, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. " 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 surprise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilful manipulator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range 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.

THE LORD MAYOR'S JOURNEY TO OXFORD.—Yester day, at a Court of Aldermen, it was moved by Alderman Wilson that the Lord Mayor be requested to take the usual septennial view of the river Thames, and that a sum not exceeding 7001. be drawn from the Chamber on account of the expenses. The motion was opposed as ill-timed and injudicious, under the circumstances in which the corporation was placed with the Government as to the conservancy of the Thames. The idea of going to Oxford was absurd, and the last survey had not in the slightest degree tended to the benefit of the river. The previous question was carried by a large majority.

Were the Russian fleet to venture out of from its skulking place, it would only be to be captured. But there are such things as winds, and waves, and rocks ; and the larger the naval force we keep at sea, and the longer we keep it there, the more we are exposed to casualties from the elements. Notwithstanding the gallantry of the English mariners who fought with Drake, the destruction of the Spanish Armada was more the work of tempests than of human skill and daring. The dilatory manner in which the war is now waged in the Baltic almost looks like a wanton tempting of Providence to disperse and scatter our armada by the same means. If any disaster should happen to our ships from storms, the Russian men of war are ready in their harbour to take advantage of it and pounce upon the dispersed and dismantled ves sels. Common prudence would seem to dictate the strik ing of some decisive blow without loss of time in order to avert the possibility of such a httmiliating disaster. It is to be hoped that Parliament will not be allowed to separate without some explanation being demanded of Ministers on this head. We are well aware what will be the stereotyped answer to any, such question. Minis ters will say that to reveal their intentions beforehand would be to give the enemy warning and place him on his guard. Even if this were true we have only a choice of difficulties. By letting the enemy know what he has to expect, we may better his means of defence ; but by allowing Ministers to remain in their unaccountable state of inaction without any explanatiOn, we run the risk of seeing this year's armament return as ingloriowly as its predecessor. One great source of the superiority of a free over an enslaved nation in war, is the power which exists in the former of bringingpublic opinion to bear upon an inert and incapable government. It true that this cannot be done without letting the enemy at the same time, in some measure, into our councils ; but if our opportunities of striking unforeseen blows are thus abridged, the disadvantage is more than compen sated for by the greater weight and energy that is im parted to our open assaults. When we speak of demand ing an explanation from Ministers, we do not mean that they should be called upon to reveal when, where, of how they intend to assail the foe. We merely point to the expediency of extorting from them some reasonable assurance that they are not neglecting the great busi ness they have in hand ; of reminding them that the eyes of the nation are upon them, and that a strict ac count will hereafter be exacted for all their shortcomings.

This morning we were roused by a pretty heavy firing on the Redan, which, commencing 'at day break, lasted for nearly four hours. About 8 o'clock set gradually died away, and, for the remainder of the day the occasional booming of the guns was heard as it has been heard daily for many months. The cause of. this morning's activity was that the Redan was impeding the construction of the heavy battery by which the British hope to reach the shipping, and either to destroy them or force them to leave the position which they have held , with such obstinacy, and which they used with such effect on the 18th of June. It will be remembered that on that day the Russian vessels, moored in double line across the harbour, fired broadsides on the advancing allies, and mowed them down with more fatal effect than even the works of the Malakhoff and Redan. The French especially suf fered much from this terrible fire, which was sus tained during the whole action, and General Pelissier, though by no means a cautious com mander, is understood to shrink from sending his troops to be a second time exposed to such a re • ception. The general opinion isthat no new attack on the Malakhoff ought to be hazarded until the fleet is dislodged from its position, and driven into a part of the harbour where it will be ineffective against the allies. Of course I say nothing of the means by which this is to be effected. At present everything seems to betoken on both sides the busy preparation for a determined attack and stern de fence. On our part it is only the repetition of what has often been describe d—the c easelessland in e 0 shot and shell on the encumbered wharves of Balaklava, the toil of waggons and of strings of mules-along - the paroled and ,thirsty road, while the wind carries its clouds of dust before it, enveloping whole convoys, and making them invisible for minutes together, or whirling along in eddies with a spinning pillar of dust like a water-spout. The monotony of the trenches is relieved by the conviction that a few days will see the renewal of the efforts which were unsuccessful three weeks ago. The French are mak-, ing visible progress iu their sap towards the Malak hoff. Half-way between this stronghold and the Mamelon, where our allies are firmly established, a long trench is visible, which shows' how far they have advanced in the interval since the last attack. The Russians have made no serious attempt to retake this latter position, although the night before last they made a little sortie, in which some sharp fight ing took place, the end of it being that the Russians retired after somewhat interrupting the French works. But the enemy is, no doubt, much more actively employed in strengthening the Malakhoff itself, which he must feel to be the key of Sebasto pol. Should this now celebrated hillock fall into the hands of the allies, no ingenuity or obstinacy of defence can delay the capture of the southern side beyond a few weeks. There is every reason to believe that the Russians are dayand nightat work deepening the ditch and constructing abattis. A vary large body of troops is constantly under arms, and every means are used to avoid a surprise like that which gave the French such easy possession of the Mamelon. But it seems to be not 'alone the Malakhoff and Roden whiCh the enemy is strength ening. The Russian engineers are evidently con structing works on a very large scale behind thefor tifications with which we have been brought in con tact. The whole harbour is alive with boats. Craft of all shapes and sizes are continually crossing and re crossing, carrying gabions, fascines, and trunks of trees for the construction of abattis, as well as pro visions and ammunition. They discharge their cargoes and immediately return for fresh ones, each boat seeming to make some 12 or 14 trips a-day. The ships' boats seem all to be employed at this work, which is no doubt performed by the sailors. The large supply of wood yielded by the forests of the Crimea has been one of the chief aids to the defence of Sebastopol. Fuel for the steamers and for cookery has been obtained in abundance, and the want of coal has probably been little felt. Trees felled and brought a distance of 10 or 12 miles form the strong abattis, six feet high, which is one of the chief defences of the Redan. • Fascines for the works have been obtained from the same quar ter, and are brought in vast quantities. The great number of arabas captured by the French in their expedition across the Tchernaya would seem to indicate that large means of trans port exist in the peninsula ; but the forage for sus taining the beasts which draw the Russian carts and the herds of cattle with which the garrison is supplied with meat must now begin to fail. In the spring and early summer the country is covered with a rich long grass, which is sufficient for all the purposes of a most extensive transport and commis sariat. As June draws to a close this begins to wither, and, although the present summer has been more than usually cool, and the north winds have kept the atmosphere moister than is usually the case, yet in the vicinity of our camp such a thing as a green blade of grass is hardly to be found, except close to the Tchernaya. The other streams of which the Russians have possession are of much smaller volume than this river, and the steppe to the north is without doubt entirely dried up. Hence will arise difficulties in the means of sustain ing their army which will try all the skill and energy of our enemies. The camp is healthy enough, and it is probable that the summer will pass away without any of that sickness to which the nation has looked for ward with such forebodings. The heat is by no means equal to what has been the general tempera ture of the country in former years ; in fact, both here and in Turkey the summer has been cool, and fever and diarrhoea have prevailed to a less extent than usual. Balaklava has been, it is true, much afflicted with cholera, but the scene of its greatest ravages was the top of the harbour, where many thousand Turks lie with only a few inches of light mould between them and the air, and where the bodies are often laid bare in all their hideous ghast liness by one of the thunder showers of the Crimea. The vessels outside the harbour were tolerably free from the disease, and since the crowd of transports which lay touching one another in the narrow and land-locked port been somewhat thinned the place may be said to have become tolerably healthy. If a low and sultry village like Balaklava be free from disease in the middle of July, there is little cause for melancholy forebodings as to the health of troops encamped on a lofty plateau, ex posed to every breeze that blows, and far removed from a too prolific vegetation. Last year the seeds of cholera and fever were brought to life by en campments in wooded Bulgarian valleys, in the vicinity of fetid morasses, or within the limits of a crowded and filthy seaport. The disease thus en gendered was brought by the two armies to the Crimea, where privations and fatigue caused it to extend its ravages far beyond the season at which - they generally cease. Before Sebastopol the allies are encamped on a spot where no deleterious ema nations' nations can reach them, except those enge ndered t: by the necessary impurities of a camp, and these, .9_ through the care taken in burning or burying all offensive matter, have as yet had little effect on the health of the troops. As to fever, the usual season for it is June, and this month is now past without to be hoped any unusual e i n autumn the camp. w "passlt i s therefore a way without any serious calamity. As to the dangers to be dreaded from winter, they are in the hand of man, who can avert them b by proper care and forethought. JULY 11. To -day heavy shelline• from the Redan. Lieu tenant Monsen, 39th Regiment, was killed in the trenches. The French are fast completing their battery at the Ouvrages Blanes. I have to relate the melancholy deaths of two gentlemen connected withe Commander-in-C. One is Colonel Vico, F r ench Commissionerhief at the head-quarters of the British army, and holding the same situa tion which General Rose holds with. Genera 3 Pelissier. The death of Colonel Vico was caused by cholera, which has struck down so many of the notables of the camp within the last few weeks. Mr. Calvert, a gentleman well acquainted with the Russian language, and employed as interpreter and confidential agent to the be Commander-in-Chief, is also dead. People are ginning to fear that the pretty little farmhouse where Lord Raglan established himself on his arrival before Sebastopol must be placed non a spot more than usually subject to malific influences. Certainly, fatal cases of disease have followed one another with a rapidity Pi and the im pression minds of of several u pp n reeo k sp n sli o eo w n n awt i in o coh t m h m e e r i gbphyatrttshbeao of made dtehaet deaths distin guished officers in succession would convey too progress of the siege from un favourable an idea of the state of the army in general. osed to Though so d rt e i l e iv s the attacks of other enemies, as unceasingly troublesome, if not Russian as dangerous. Every nook and cranny is infested by flies in millions, which give one no rest by day, • and little by night. , er w e e db a y re th e e xp Within the last week the thing has almost assumed the dimensions of a plague. '[ Situated as-I am in the delightful vicinity of_seve s ral hundred commissariat mules and a varied as- soriment of empty sugar barrels and receptacles of beef and pork, it is possible I may have more than my share of these pertinacious insects, which hover on every side in clouds, and settle on the most irri table parts of the face without giving a moment's relaxation. Like the Harpies, they literally "dis pute the viands," such as they are, on which we regale, a morsel in its passage to the mouth being generally settled upon by two or more of the in sects, which require to be vigorously shaken before they will let go their hold. To remove them froze, a glass of any liquor before tasting it it is necr, s . sary to introduce three fingers and draw them from the vessel on the principle of "dragging," as practised by the Humane Society. The only way to be at rest is to sit in a thorough draught, which, when surrounded by papers, is a somewhat trouble some position. On entering a but after a few mo ment's absence they rise in a dense cloud, with deafening buzz, from every object. Irritable suf ferers pursue them desperately with towels, laying about on every side ; others try to carry on a more scientific warfare, by burning old newspapers after closing every aperture ; but it is useless—in five minutes the place is full with a new and more hungry swarm. The only respite is at night, when the invaders retire to rest o the ceiling in enormous black patches ; butir yen then, a I l candle brought in rouses them t fulness of noon. Seriously, they -e an all the unex pectedplay- and most troublesome visa i ion, and are especially irritating to the poe sick fellows in the hospital marquees, whom, they prevent from getting any rest - the live-long day, and I keep in a constant state of nervous restlessness. For the,next three months we must be content to suffer all they can inflict unless the rains of Sep tember rid us_of them. ~----,..- ut-..4: _- --- _ JUNE 12. Nothing now to-day. The French and Turks have finally returned from their reconnaissance, and the country about Baidar is again in the hands of the Cossacks. The quantity of cattle driven in by them is very great. The beasts, though not of the large size we are accustomed to in England, are finer and better fed than those obtained in Asia Minor ; at least as we see them after a voyage across the Black Sea. An attack on the Russian position is considered all but hopeless. Nature seems as if she bad constructed the plateau they occupy as a vast defensible position, which 50,000 men may hold against four times their number. Of the re duction of Sebastopol proper before the winter I have no kind of doubt. That the Russians will hold out with all the obstinacy of their character, even after the destruction of their ships and the capture of . the Malakhoff, may be expected ; but the possession of a new position, commanding the harbour and the bridge of boats which crosses it, must eventually cause the enemy to retreat. The Russian generals, though brave and determined on an obstinate defence, may fairly receite credit for the possession of prudence and forethought. As long as a place can be held with a chance of success, or even of damaging the enemy, they will hold it ; but all their proceedings give reason to believe that they will not allow their troops to be cut to pieces merely for the credit of having made a desperate resistance, and held, without advantage, for a short time longer an untenable position. 'When they see that their retreat is s3riously endangered, it is not improbable that they will altogether abandon the southern side, which they can hardly hope to hold should the allies be able to cornteand the harbour. They, no doubt, count at least on being able to prolong their resistance until the winter sets in ; if that be impossible, they will most likely with draw to the northern side, which it may beimprac ticable to lay siege to before the spring of 1856. What may be done during that time to strengthen the works we may judge from the industry and skill with which they have laboured in the defence of Sebastopol proper. To-day Major-General 'Barnard' was appointed chief of the staff, in the place of General Simpson. Rumours prevail that a new Commander-in-Chief is to come out from England. Whether%his be true I have not yet learnt, but it is to be hoped that the Peninsula and Waterloo, at 23 or A years of age, will not be the only qualification. It seems to all here that the best school for Sebastopol is Sebastopol itself, and that a man who his been here six months is likely 0 be a more efficient ge neral than any one who may be sent out in reliance on - vague reminiscences of campaigns in the field. 40 years ago. It takes some little time to be cog nisant even of the ground, and with autumn draw ing on there is no time to be lost. The only reason that can be conceived foe sending out a general. from England is that some man of European repu tation may be appointed, who may give a itatus to the British army beyond what its present cumbers' eyes of the world.. There is no doubt that Lord Raglan may obtain for it in the did this. Egg rank, his high character; his manners, his su perior it y to petty, jealousies, and his abstinence from pe tty in trigues, commanded theirespect of those even who were disposed to question his capacity and ener gy . There can he little doubt that if this war be prosecuted for any length of time, ana Eng land be not prepared to embark in the struggle with men as well as money, there is honni danger of the British army being regarded as a mere con tingent. A general of established reputatr may give a lustre to the British. name, but, 'ter all, the best reliance is on skill and energy, a nd there are not wanting men at present before Sebastopol on whom the command might devolve with satis faction to the army and with reasonable hope of a creditable fulfilment of duties. The Commissariat, both in the Crimea and at Constantinople, is making laudable preparations for a regular supply of provisions during the coming winter. Depots are to be established at Ismid. and Siuope, and a regular transport service will be or ganised between various places on the coast and the port of Balaklava. Sheds for 4,000 cattle will be constructed near the camp. The chief difficulty will be in the land transport, which will require all the care of the authorities to render it complete when the season of mud 'and snow again recurs. The railway is not as firmly laid as could be wished. The late storm washed it away in several places, the sleepers being merely placed on the soft yielding soil, which after the heavy rains of November be comes a mass in which horses' hoofs sink to the depth of Bor 10 inches. A Commissariat should have its own transport at its own command ; but under the actual system requisitions must be made on the Land Transport Corps, who even in the pre sent summer weather often cannot supply mules, other requisitions having been made on them or carrying up ammunition. Some persons go so far as to prophesy for the army as great an irregu larity in provisioning as was the case during the past calamitous winter ; but the very fact that these dangers are foreseen and discussed is a war rant that they will not recur. At any'rate the crushing burden of overwork will not press on our men, for We have the French on all sides of us to' take part" of the labour of the trenches. A singular fact, elicited by Sir J. Macneil, but known to all acquainted with the army, is, that during the winter every man 'coked his own food. The cold and weary soldier, creeping back from the trenches, found his junk of salt meat, which he must light a firs to cook, often with wet wood, probably the work of more than an re hour. The often devoud the food consequ ence was, that he o in its raw state, or contented himself merely with rum and biscuit. A better system has begun t o prevail with regard to cooking, which, it is to be hoped, will be developed. and dPerfected before the return of inclement weather. a gale for the last 24 Russ ian s kept up a j tr u e L in Y en l d 3 O Last night the us fire. It has been blow in g hours, and the wind bore the sound of the heavy guns towards us, so that the very ground shook. I am sorry to say tha t the battery which the French have construct ed between the Mamelon and the Malakhoff h a s been knocked to pieces by the powerful fire of the latter fort. A colonel and about 30 officers and men were pat hors de c om bat, and the siege works ha ve received a decided check. In fact, as the Allies advance to the actual defence of the place, they must expect to meet more elabo rate works, and obstacles heaped on on e ano th er with all the care which nine months of p re p ara ti on admit. Even now th e enemy. are strengthening the Malakhoff every day.

Head-quarters before Sebastopol, July 10. The Lieut.-General Commanding the forces has great satisfaction in publishing to the army the following let ters, addressed by the Minister of War to the late Field- Marshal Lord Raglan, in obedience to her Majesty's commands : "War Department, June 25, "My Lord,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your lordship's despatches, Nos. 310 and 315, of the 2d and sth inst. I have submitted to the Qaeen the satisfactory re ports with which your lordship has furnished me of the continued success of the important operations in which the forces of her Majesty, and those of her ally the Em peror of the French, have been engaged, subsequently to the occurrences which your lordship reported to me in your despatch of the 29th 'of May, and I am com manded to express to your lordship the gratification which it has afforded to her Majesty to receive the in telligence that the resources of the enemy had been crippled, while, at the same time, the steps taken to effect this object were unattended by loss of life. " Her Majesty is fully sensible of the important as sistance rendered by her naval forces in effecting the successes now reported by you, and I have it especially in command to desire that your lordship will convey to Captain Lyons, of the Miranda, and to the officers and men serving under his orders, her Majesty's high appre ciation of their gallant deeds, by which objects have been accomplished of such vast importance to the cause, of the allied Powers.—l have, &c., " PANNURE. " Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.8., &c." " War Department, June 25. "My Lord, I have to acknowledge the receipt of your lordship's despatch of the oth inst., which I have laid before the Queen, and on this, as on every other oc casion in which her Majesty's troops have been engaged, they have, by their gallant conduct, earned still further her approbation and gratitude. " YoU will be pleased to accept her Majesty's congra• tulations. which I am commanded to convey to you, and likewise those of my colleagues and myself, on the im portant acquisition of the works in front of the Redan, and you will announeetl the troops engaged on that oc casion the thanks of the Queen for their unabating gal lantry and determination in seizing and maintaining post after post from the enemy. " The Queen deeply grieves that successes such as these cannot be obtained without the loss of valuable lives and the infliction of severe suffering but you may be assured that no one more cordially honours the gallant dead, or more sincerely spmpathises with her wounded soldiers, than her Majesty. " Where all are brave, I can enter into your lordship's difficulty in naming any, but the country cannot fail to hail the names of those whom you mention, and I rejoice to see recorded among them the daring feat of Corporal Quinn, of which I have no doubt your lordship has al ready marked your sense. "It gives her Majesty some consolation to learn that the wounds are of a comparatively slight character, and, above all, that the wounded of all ranks have been com fortably disposed of, as your lordship describes. " Your lordship's description of the contemporaneous attack and entire success of our allies on the Mamelon and Ouvrages Blanca' is hichly satisfactory to her Ma jesty, and you will, in her Bljesty's name, felicitate Ge neral Pelissier on the gallant achievements of the army. " These successes cannot fail to inspire confidence throughout the ranks of the be-ieging arinieg while they dishearten the enemy, and will, I trust, lead at no dis tant day to the final overthrow of Sebastopol.—l have, &c., PAN M. 13 RE. -;; Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G C. 8., &c." By order, H. L. PAKENHAM, • Lieutenant-Colonel, Assistant-Adjutant-Genera] OPERATIONS IN THE BALTIC. ( From lice Daily News of this day.) The promised "hundred pennants" are now in the Baltic. The English have 85 vessels of mt. with 2,098 guns ; the French 16 vessels of Rar with 408 guns. In the combined fleet there aro 23 line of battle ships with 1,853 guns ; 31 frigates and corvettes with 544 guns 29 smaller steamer; and gun-boats with 78 gun; ; 18 mortar boats and other craft with 21. guns—in all 101 vessels and 2,506 guns. What, is to be done with this new " invincible armada ?" At the close of last year's campaign Sir Charles Napier was ordered to "strike his flag and come ashore" with less caurtesy than a private gentleman would use in dis missing a lazy valet. The reason assigned for this un pre,edented course was, that Sir Charles had not accom plished all that might have been expected, or that he had been ordered to do, with the fleet under his com mand. Sir Charles had with him 19 ships-of-the-line, 12 frigates, 17 corvettes, eight smaller steamers, and an hospital ship. The combined naval force of the Allies now in the Baltic is nearly double that which wasplaced at the disposal of Sir Charles Napier—when the floating batteries arrive it will be rather more than double. The present .kdmiral has the advantage of all the soundings and reconnaissances of last year ; and yet it cannot be said that more enterprise or activity has as yet been dis played in 1855 than was evinced in 1854. The coast blockade is not more strictly enforced. The desultory dashes, at villages and telegraph stations along the coast are not more important or decisive than those of last year. We hear of no operation during the present cam paign that can take rank with the destruction of Bomar sund, which was effected before this time last year. In 1854 we were told that nothing could be accomplished till late in the season, for want of land forces to co-operate with the ships. It is true that little or no use was made of the land forces after they were sent out ; but in 1855 there is no appearance of preparations being made to send any. The few brief summer months of the Baltic are rapidly slipping away ; is it intended that the campaign of 1855 in these waters shall, after all the boastful note of preparation we have heard, be as result less as that of 1854 ? We are not asking in ignorant impatience for dazzling exploits at any cost. It is possible that nature and art have so strengthened the Russian coasts in the Baltic, that the enemy have only to remain en sconced behind their defences to baffle all that mere human power can accomplish in the way of assault. It may be sound policy, as some maintain, to attempt nothing in the Baltic, but to concentrate all our ener gies in the Euxine, where Russia may be more vulner able. But, if this be so, why the vain parade of so expensive a naval armament in the Baltic ? Last year, a fleet of half the strength of that which the Allies, now maintain in these waters sufficed to keep Russia as anxiously paralysed as the im mense armament of the present year has succeeded in doing. Are the resources of France and England so inexhaustible that money can be squandered on a sur plusage of men, ships, and guns, maintained for mere ostentatious show and bravado ? The war before Sebas topol is starved ; there are not troops enough the t r a o n to s invest the fortress, and the weight of our batternng the de barely equals that of the ordnance emp loyteElnied in the ; and yet an expensive fleet is Baltic, simply it would appear to En ° !and can fit out. sj,!ww:ainthe Russians how many ships , of war France and g. . i .„_ dj e unentabion. n There ill infinite danger in kh4a TOTALS.
