By F. B. COURTENAY, And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan_lnfirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon., whose special attention has been directed, through a long 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 valuab_ 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.

That notice was occasioned by some very " irregu L ar " proceedings, which were taken into consideration by the Jockey Club at a recent special meeting, attended by Admiral Rouse, Lord Portsmouth (stewards), Mr. Alex ander, Lord Annesley, Duke of Beaufort, Lord Clifden, Lord de Manley, Lord Derby, Mr. Greville, Sir Joseph Hawley, Mr. Lowther, General Peel, Lord W. Poulett, Lord Stradbroke, and Lord Wilton. The official Racing Calendar contains the following announcement in reference to the matter : " The meeting was called by the stewards to take into consideration the running of Mr. Bryan's Waterwitch at Newmarket, on Wednesday, in the First Spring Meeting. After the senior steward had stated the circumstances, a letter from Mr. Bryan was read, and evidence was taken from a gentleman who attended on his behalf. Mr, Bryan having admitted that he gave orders to his jockey to lose the race, it was resolved— " That Mr. Bryan be warned off the course at New market and other places where the Jockey Club have juris diction for the year 1861, and that he be informed that if the club had not reason to believe that the offence was com mitted under the influence of tenver, and not with an object of pecuniary gain, they would have felt it their duty to inflict a much severer penalty.' "W. Long-, the boy wno rode Nrriterwitcla, heing young and inexperienced, has been severely reprimanded by the stewards, and told, that if he should repeat the offence, he will never be allowed to ride afterwards."

THE ISTHMUS OF SuEz.—A travellor who is now visiting the works of the Isthmus of Suez sends the Siecle the following details, dated El Guizer, 3d inst. :—" The cen tral service of the supplies and the administration for all the points of the isthmus is organised at Damietta. From 6,000 to 7,000 Arabs are now employel. There are upwards of 2,000 at Timsale, where the works are carried on with an intelligent activity which must secure sure results. I was surprised to see those masses of native workmen using with the greatest facility all the French tools and improved ma chinery. Courageous and persevering efforts were necessary to organise all these works, which are carried on with the greatest order and precision. The company advances towards its object, and it will attain it. The materiel employed is immense.

PARIS, MAY 15, 7 A.m..—The debate on th e fi s h ery i question was resumed u the Senate on Monday, and lasted till half-past six o'clock in the afternoon. Admiral Romain Desfosses supported str enuous l y and at much length the petition from the Channel ports against the supplementary convention of Nov, 16th between England and France, reducing the import duty on English fish to 12f. instead of 48f. As I mentioned the other day, the Admiral opposed the reduction, on the ground of the serious injury which, they alleged, would thereby accrue to the classes engaged in these fisheries, and which would seriously affect the maritime inscription, and, as a necessary consequence, the naval power of France. In reply to the allegation that the parties interested had accepted the convention, and now only demanded the abolition of the vexatious regulations imposed on the exercise of their cafling,Admiral Desfosses read a letter,which he had just received from Boulogne-sur- Mer, stating that the petitioners had opposed the convention, but that when the decree of the 30th of November was issued they regarded it as an act of sovereign power, against which all further protest was unavailing, and that it was then, and only then, they demanded, by way of compensation, certain advantage which would alone extenuate the fatal consequence of the importation of the produce of English fisheries. Admiral Desfosses concluded his long speech with the following words :—" I could say much more, gentlemen, about this class of men, so disin terested, so courageous, and so devoted, who im plore you to extend a protecting hand over them. But your convictions are formed, and I should only tira out the patience which you have accorded to me. I here bring to a close my observations. I could tell you of the protest against the arguments of the supporters of the convention ; but I only ask you to allow me to repeat, in conclusion, that you have now to decide on a question of the highest national interest. Your committee thinks that the negotiators of the convention of the 16th of November have acted under the influence of the very natural anxieties raised by the difficult com mercial mission intrusted to them, and that they have seen in the enormous reduction of the pro. tecting duties in favour of our rational fisheries merely a question of political economy and of secondary interest. That error your committee was imperatively bound to point out to you •Nk hile it was still time, and to prevent the consequences of it. We believe the error may be i epaired, for the simple reason that it is a question of justice, and that we have a right to expect from the great nation with which we have made a pact an honesty and a good-will equal to those of which the august head of this empire has given so many striking proofs. But, if as the Minister-President of the Council of State (who is again deceived on this point) has intimated, this fatal transaction (the reduction of the duty) is to be considered as a fact, the Hon. Mr. Cobden—the lucky agent of a policy the utility of which no one will thence forth dispute—will have earned his claim to repose some day in Westminster Abbey, or in St. Paul's Cathedral, side by side with Nelson, the daring vanquisher of a navy the select crews of which the revolutionary tempest has swept away. For my own part, gentlemen, as the insufficient defender, but one thoroughly impressed by a great and just cause, it only remains to utter my complaints to God that I have lived long enough to see the navy of France, to which I have devoted with enthusiasm more than 50 years of my life, struck at its very heart." (Great emotion, and prolonged applause.) M. Dupin cried out " Accept our thanks, Admiral." (Bravo, bravo.) M. Rouher refuted at much length the argu ments of Admiral Desfosses. He showed that it was the vexatious regulations, entering into every detail of their equipments, for carrying on their trade, fixing the hour of their departure from port, the number of nets they were to use, and the num ber of men they were to empl o y, which really in jured the trade. With respect to the evil prognos tications so generally expressed as to the fatal con sequences to native industry of the abolition of pro hibitory duties, and the reduction of high protective ones, he said, in conclusion—" On the subject of the removal of Customs prohibitions one of our honourable colleagues, inspired by true patriotism, said to me, ' You make me lose 100,000 f. of income by your Commercial Treaty, for my sale of timber will produce me 100,000 f. less.' _ Now I believe that, - on the contrary, ho has this year gained 150,000 f. Such is the result. I well remember that before the war in Italy people were under the influence of deep emotion, and petitions were crowding in upon us. One of our honourable col leagues, who was the reporter on that occasion, was much engaged with this question; he was terrified at it ; he studied it with great interest, and sought information from the President of the National Committee. It was loudly proclaimed that if prohibition were abolished the manufacture of implements would disappear; that industry would be annihilated; that materials would not he re newed ; and, it was added, that, owing to the per nicious doctrines of free trade, ruin would be accu mulated on ruin. Well, then, the Commercial Treaty has been signed, and is about to be carried into execution, and what has become of these sinister predictions ? I have here a letter from the North of France, the centre of agita tions and of the petition movement. What does it tell me ? Why, that for twenty years past there has been no such renewal of materials as that which the Commercial Treaty has given rise to for the last six months. We had been told that the spinners would find no more work, and that the weavers would renounce their trade. But we worked 80,000,000 kilogrammes of cotton last year, and 125,000,000 this year; and this, not merely pass ing, as was said in another place, from the entrepot to the general depot, but entering into the general consumption. I believe, gentlemen, that the appre hension felt by Admiral Romain Desfosses is as unfounded as that which was then experienced in the case of the timber interests. Transmit, then, if you wish it, the report to the proper Ministers; this sort of matters must always be the order of the day. I offer no opposition to your transmitting the report. I even ask of you to do so, for I also desire to make one day an inventory of all these terrors. Yes, I desire that in two or three years hence the Admiral, for whom I profess the sincerest friend ship—l desire, I say, that we meet in this Chamber, and that we shall together draw up the list of these fears, when public opinion shall have been com pletely enlightened on the point." Cardinal Mathieu also spoke at some length on the same subject, recommending the utmost caution in making changes, and also that the plans for maintaining and encouraging national fisheries which were practised in England should be exa mined in France, with a view to borrowing from them. Admiral Rigault de Genouilly spoke in support of the petitioners and of the report of his brother Admiral, Domain Desfosses. After alluding to the advanced state of the English marine establishment, he said in conclusion,—" Is it astonishing, gentle men, I ask you, that in presence of these new con ditions imposed on the relative force of France and England as a maritime Power—is it astonish ing that we should energetically reject any sacrifice of the maritime conscription, as compro mising, as the hon. Admirals, our colleagues, have told you, for the honour of our flag es for the security of the territory of the empire ? Where is the exaggeration ? for we have been charged with exaggeration ; and if that exaggeration, which I deny, did exist, wou ld it no t b e very pardonable in general officers, who, after all, come here to defend their companions in arms, the founders of their military fortune ? (Warm applause.) These dig nities, ranks and crosses, which have devolved on us—the envied honour, gentl emen Senators, which has been conferred on us to sit among you—how, after all, have they been acquired ? They have been acquired by mingling our blood and our . suc cess. with the blood and the success of the maritime conscripts. (Fresh applause.)

Guardian of the laws which secure the defence of the Imperi a l territory, the Senate, we trust, will show itself favourable to this great institution, and will adopt the conclusions of the committee. We ask of you at the same time, gentlemen Senators, that the petition of th e fisher men of the northern ports and of the Channel be all three referred to the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, of Marine, and of Commerce." (Marked approbation.) M. Baroche, President of the Council of State, supported the supplementary convention on the same grounds as his colleague. the Minister of Com merce and Public .:Works. He was - replied to by Admiral Romain nesfosses, against the convention. The Admiral happening to observe that he believed. the English were in general better men of business than the French, M. Dupin was kind' enough to interrupt him, and cried, " They are more cunning." On the division there appeared a large majority for sending up the report to the Minister of Com merce, Marine and Foreign Affairs—a proposition which the Government had at first resisted, but subsequently accepted. THE DOUBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE NEAR NEWCASTLE. The coroner's inquest on this painful affair has been held at Eighton Banks. The evidence adduced did little more than confirm the account already given of the murder and suicide. Thomas Stoker, the husband of the murderess, said he was a pitman, and the two murdered children, his daughters, were aged respectively three years and six months. He went to Newcastle on Saturday afternoon, leaving his wife and four children at home. On his return home he found that two of them, Ann and Jane, were locked out of the house by her mother, who had locked herself in with the two children, Mary and Margaret, al luded to above. He obtained an entrance to the house, and, he continued, "I saw all three lying alongside each other in bed with their throats cut. I did not stay, but immediately asked the neigh bours to go in, but they were afraid to do so, as I said they were all dead. I then went back and took a calmer view, and then went for the doctor. When I went in a second time one of the neigh bours came in. Mr Davis's assistant (Mr. Turbock) came back with me when I went for the doctor, and Mr. Davis came soon afterwards. They sewed my wife's throat up, and I saw a little motion in the fingers of the right hand. After a time she reco vered sufficiently to be able to speak. I asked her what she had done such an act as this for ? She said it was done and could not be undone; I must make the best of it. There were neighbours in the house, and she could then speak distinctly. This was after the doctor left. At first when I spoke to her, I said, " Mary," and she looked me in the face and then raised her left hand over her head, and on putting my hand down in the direction she pointed, I found the razor. It was on the pillow, but under the sheet: It was all bloody. (Produced). I asked her towards morning what she did it for, and she said she was out of her head. She spoke quite sen sibly_ We did not wish to torture her; but on questioning her further, she said she did not wish to leave her children behind her. She also said the children did not make any work. She asked me where I had the elder children. She had always behaved remarkably well to her children, and never did anything to cause me to suspect that she would do this. - Mr:-Robert Davis, the surgeon who wrs vaned in, said, Mary Stoker, the mother, was lying in the same bed along with the dead children, with her throat cut. She was sensible, and only remarked that it was a bad job. I examined the wounds of the children. Mary had a deep cut across the front of the throat, about three inches in length, and ex tending through the windpipe. There have been two cuts upon the neck to complete the incision. The wound is jagged, and there is a mark of a pre vious cut upon the windpipe. The first attempt had not been successful. She had died from loss of blood in consequence of those cuts. She had a slight cut by the side of the nail of the fore finger on the left hand. There are no other marks upon it. The little one, Margaret, had two separate wounds upon the throat—one about an inch in length, and super ficial, which had not done any great damage, having merely cut through the skin on the lower part of the neck ; the other was higher up, and was much deeper, and extended through the windpipe. Loss of blond in consequence of the two wounds was the cause of her death. Thomas Stoker, the husband, was recalled, and said that since his wife had her last child she had been depressed in spirits, and this depression had increased during the time that he had been out of work. She had never been in a low way before the last baby was born. For the last six or eight weeks she imagined that she had no milk, but the child still sucked the breast. She had never threatened the children, but at low times she had sometimes said she did not care if she was dead. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Mary Stokes, and that she " died from the effects of a cut on the throat by her own hand when in a state of melancholia." , A POOR CURATES STORY. A poor country curate writes to the Secretary of the Clerical Fund and Poor Clergy Relief Society : —" Not possessing any private property, as a family man, with the strictest and most rigid regard to economy, it is next to impossible to meet my neces sary expenses. I am a curate in sole charge, the rector being non-resident. Although nearly 60 years of age, my income is not ver y muc h a b ove £9O per year. n a former curacy it was £5O only, and no house. To eke out my income lam compelled to have recourse to charity. If not, I should be irre vocably in debt. After all, although I have not a large family, it is only by tasking ingenuity and economy to the utmost, that we can get along with anything like comfort and keep up appearances. To give some idea of what are the actual privations of clergymen thus circumstanced, facts need only be stated.

This I have done even to hats and shoes ! But it is a degradation that I have painfully felt, and dreaded the thought of being accidentally disco vered. Other unbenefieed clergymen I know to be equally bad off. But it is systematically concealed even from each other. In fact, our privations are little suspected by those around us. Our very next door neighbours have no suspicions of them. We fear lest the knowledge of our necessities should degrade us in the estimation even of our poorer parishioners, and lessen our influence for good amongst them. But it presses heavily upon our spirits in private, and not unfrequently enervates our efforts in public." NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.
