" 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. THURSDAY No diminution was visible in the attendance, either at the rooms or upon the heath. Several ladies again were present, both in carriages and en horseback, a sun-shiny morning and a well-filled card having repeated the attrac tion of yesterday. If the betters of odds had reason to com plain of ill-fortune then, they had ample cause of rejoicing on Thursday, inasmach as the first six races that came off were won by a non-favourite. Several books were opened on the Cambridgeshire, for which Henham Lass was in great demand ; Asteroid receded slightly, and a new favourite appeared in Palestro, who was backed for a large sum at 25 to 1, and left off when our despatch was sent at 100 to G. The last race was run at 5 o'clock, when the sun was sink ing in the West, and the fielders had again thrown in upon two consecutive events.

At the first attempt the horses left the post in a line. General Hess on the rails on the upper ground came away with a slight lead, followed by Gouvieux and the Physalis colt, the others on the lower side headed by Reveille, and Madge Wildfire lying close up. On rising the Bushes-hill the leading horses were joined by Reveille, Madge Wildfire, Exactitude, and Incitatus; Gouvieux at the same time dropped into the rear. Passing the Bushes, General Hesse and the Physalis colt were beaten, and shortly after were passed by Madge Wildfire, Reveille, Exactitude, and Inci tatus, the former having a slight lead, which she retained into the Dip, when Fordham brought out Reveille, who won very cleverly by three-quarters of a length, two lengths separating the second and third, three-quarters of a length dividing the third and fourth; the others beaten off some distance.

Cr Ap (lefty% All that yon are doing is illegal and -.Try wrong." At this mothent a young man was arrested by the police. An attempt was made to rescue him, and then the word ) was given to the regiment of Fin land to advance. The first line rushed forward some paces with their muskets lowered, but the students who were all in front of the crowd, remained per fectly firm, and several of them even walkedtowards the soldiers. It appeared now impossible to avoid a collision. A shudder and murmur passed through the crowd, and people, began to make the sign of the cross, whe , o suddenly Gen. Bustrom himself in terposed and stopped the exeention of the orders. The spectators gave a cheer for the students, and were immediately afterwards sent about their busi; ness by tile police and mounted gendarmes. Scarcely any one now remained on the ground except the students, and it was at last arranged that General Ignaeieff should be informed, through Gen. Patkul, of tb.e intention of the deputation to wait upon him, and of the request it had to convey with reference to the liberation of Michaelis, Guine, and Pokrov -04, and to the mode of effecting arrests in future. I may mention at once that a satisfactory answer was only given on the latter point. The three de puties, so treacherously made prisoners, are still in the fortress. After Gen. Ignatieff's reply had been received, Count Putiatin made his appearance at the Univer sity, and was in his turn begged to use his influence to get the three deputies released. He declined to do so; His first interviews with the students have certainly not been calculated to leave a very charm ing impression upon them. While the students were passing resolutions, while Gen. Bustrom was haranguing his troops, while Gen. Patkul was mounting anddismounting his war horse, an improvised military council Was held at the Winter Palace, in which Gen. Baranoff, chief of the staff of the guard; Gen. Plaoutin, com mander-in-chief of the guard; and the Grand Duke Nicolas Nooolaiewitch, commanding the infantry of the guard, took part. The Grand Duke Michael, who is president of a select committee, which, in ease of need, would perform the functions of a Council of Regency, is said to have written to his brother a letter on the aspect of affairs in the streets of St. Petersburg, which caused the latter some unnecessary alarm. "This is not merely a students' disturbance," he exclaimed, "itis a revolt. There were all sorts of persons in the procession of Monday, and especially officers. I will take the Chevalier Guards out and settle the affair. Give me one, two, ten regiments, if necessary." General Plaotitin and General Baranoff were both opposed to this project, and I believe have thought with General Philipson, from the beginning, that there was no necessity to resort to armed force at all. On reflection the Grand Duke seems also to have arrived at this opinion. " What ,does PatkuLthen mean bygalloping about and having fresh horses brought to him, as if he were on a campaign ?" he inquired. Many persons had already asked themselves that question. At last it was decided that Count Putiatin ought to go and speak to the students himself. On this recommendation, duly conveyed to him, he went, and it is already known how much good he did. It is said that the students of the Military Aca demy and of various special schools have resolved to testify their sympathy for those of the University in some formal manner. Many of the classes Ni ere deserted yesterday when the news was received of what was taking place on the quay, and in some instances the professors accompanied their pupils to the great scene of interest. A story is told of a lecturer at the Medico-Chirurgical School, who, either from a very original sense of duty or from sheer absence of mind, continued and concluded his discourse on some not very celebrated bone long after the students had left the room. On the 15th, at 9 a.m., Savannah out of Newmarket en gagements. On the 16th, at 10.40 a.m., Rupert out of the Cam bridgeshire. PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd.

Washington and sent al 1 over the country, just as he has got them into c rder, and that his subor dinates have failed to robey his instructions. As to inaccessibility, Lord help the man who refuses to see everybody who thinks he would like to see him out in this pe rt of the world! Is not a general a public serval it, the property of citizen A, who wants to see if the general's hair iS gray, or only grizzled ? Is he not the property of citizen B, who wants to get a contract for gun boats made of • indiarubl ier, or of D, who has a letter to him, and wants a situation on the gene ral's staff either as aid.se-de-camp or coachman ? Pro hoc vice, each citizen represents the whole republic, and is very tvngy if he cannot monopo lise all the time of his servant. Perhaps Gen. Fremont finds - he cannot do his work and attend to all corners on thesi; terms. Never shall I for get what I saw Mr. Chase go through one fine day in his bureau soon after my arrival at Wash ington. The places in his gift were in the course of distribution, and on calling on him I found the passages of the Treasury leading to his apart ments blocked np by an eager crowd of all sorts and conditions of men, who were continually send ing in cards or slips of paper by the messengers at, the doors.. I was admitted, as Mr. Chase had been good enough to invite me to call upon him, and, accordingly, when the doors were thrown open I had an opportunity of witnessing the eager rush, the solicitations, the pressure, and obstinacy of the army of applicants who besieged the good-humoured but resolute, sagacious, and unbending Ministei. To shake hands warmly with every man of them, from the banker who had come to offer millions to the rough dweller on distant seashores who aspired to the care of a lighthouse, to be civil and sympathising with every man, to listen with both ears, to remember all faces and all names and all handwritings, and all recommendees--these are no easy matters, but I am bound to say Mr. Chase did them courteously and well, although he was assisted to some extent by an apt secretary who headed off the hungriest and most tenacious of the pack, and carried them off one by one into some' back room, as a spider hurries off' a fly to the inner' darkness. This, however, is part of the duty of a public 'man in America, and any departure from it is certain to be resented arid to make one unpopular, Gell, Fremont is taking a sure, way to stop all cavilling; he is marching on the enemy, and if he is victorious all will be for given and forgotten, and he will becoine a danger ous rival to Gen. M'Clellan for future honours and power in the State. He has published a letter which will gist* English readers some idea of the things to which a public man is exposed in America, and of the consequences of the rash, reckless, and often times malicious statements which are sent forth to the world by the newspapers, without a care or a thought of the damage they do, or of their authen ticity or truth.

Sheerness or Chatham, and losing their cash,. one of the Medway Company's steamers was pia 4.alon g iide the Chesapeake, and conveyed the entire crew to the Strood station, whence they were conveyed to London by the South-Eastern Railway. The Chesapeake is to be placed in the steam reserve ordinary at Chatham; but in consequence of the injuries she re ceived to her keel by running on a sunken rock in the Red Sea, she will require very extensive-repairs. The screw steamship Conqueror, 99, Capt. E. S. Sotheby, C. 8., one of the Channel fleet, was placed yesterday afternoon in the Queen's dock at Keyham steamyard for the purpose of overhauling her valves and aperture to discover the cause of the leakage aft. The screw steam corvette Orestes, 21, Capt. A: H. Gardner, in Plymouth Sound, had steam up and cat and fish teakles overhauled yesterday afternoon, preparatory to sailing for the Cape of Good Hope. The Eclipse, 4,.screw steam sloop, 700 tons, left her moorings in 'Sheerness harbour, and proceeded to the measured mile off Maplin Sand, for the trial of her engines previously to their being passed over to the Government authorities by the contractors. The vessel is fitted with horizontal air-pump trunk engines, 200-horse nominal poWer. She was tried at full and half boiler powet., with the following re sults :—Witia full boiler power she attained an ave rage speed of 10*knots ; revolutions, 98 ; pressure of steam, 20; vacuum, 25 ; draught of water aft, 10 ft. 8 in. ; forward, 8 ft. With half-boiler power she attained a speed of 9 . 274 knots, 76 revolutions. She was also tried at turning the circle, which she ac complished in 4 min. .5 sec., and the half circle in 2 min. 30 sec. Common screw pitch, 16 ft.; diameter, 11 ft. During the trial, which lasted seven hours, the Eclipse was under the command of Capt. Schom berg, chief of the steam reserve at Sheerness. Mr. W. Price, inspector of machin:iry afloat, with Mr. S. Townsend, foreman of engineers, Sheerness dock yard, was in attendance on the part of Government. Mr. Brown, foreman to Messrs. R. Napier and Son, of Glasgow, had charge of the engines, and repre sented his employers. The trial was very satisfac tory, but would have been much more so Lad it not been for the foulness of the bottom of the ship. The Emperor was expected to return to St. Peters burg on the 14th (26th) of October, but it is hoped now that he will arrive some days earlier.

HAWLEY having brought forward the motion of which the notice appeared in the last Calendar, it was re solved,— " 1. That the alteration of the day of the July Meeting, having been proposed and adopted without notice, was in direct contravention of the rule of the Club No. 40. "2. That in order not to incur the risk of invalidating the entries for the July and Chesterfield Stakes, 1862, which have been advertised for. Monday and Wednesday, the alteration of the days of the races for that year be con firmed." The meeting then divided upon the question whether the July Meeting should, after 1862, commence on Tuesday, as heretofore ; and it was decided by a large majority that the July Meeting should be held on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The proposal to move the winning-posts of the Round Course, the Bunbury Nile, and the Chesterfield Stakes Course was negatived by a large majority, after which the meeting adjourned. A general meeting of the Club will be held on Wednesday in the Houghton Meeting. Some notices of motion have been given, which will , be duly published next week. SOLDIERS AND STUDENTS AT ST. T_ETEBSBuRG. An occasional correspondent of the Times at St. Petersburg, writing on the 10th of October, gives a very lively and interesting account of further scenes between the students and the generals during the late university troubles :- - The scene in the court-yard of the University (on the 9th) was of the most astonishing kind, and was well calculated to confuse one's notions of geo graphy. In the capital of the Russian empire, directly opposite the Winter Palace (which stands on the other side of the river), a meeting was held, at which speeches were made, resolutions car ried, and deputies appointed. A little pile of firewood served as a tribupe, from which sevf ral orators justified, in very energetic terms, the atti tude taken by the students, and encouraged them not to desist from their efforts to rescue MM. Mi chaelis, Guine, and Pokrovski from the hands of the police. Unmindful of the fate of those three, five other students accepted the dangerous office of deputies, and left the court-yard to proceed to the residence of General Ignatief, with the view of re questing—first, that the previous deputation should be set at liberty ; second, that no more arrests should be made by secret agents. In the meantime General Patkul, the over-police master, was on the quay, riding up and down, and evidently determined, even at the cost of his Ho, to quell an insurrection which did not exist. A fresh horse is led up to the General • he dismounts in hot haste, and in an instant i s i n the other saddle. This is undoubtedly an over-police -master of some energy. Several arrests are made in the crowd, chiefly of officers and men of the Military School. One gen tleman in a semi-military uniform, finding the hand of the police almost upon him, makes a bolt. After him rushes Patkul himself, spurring his horse in such a manner that every one thinks charger No. 3 will have to be brought out soon. The fugitive was caught at the earner o f th e nex t s t re et. The I General captured him with his own hand. i. 11•10 ,T The police and the mounted gendarmes had now received orders to let any of the students who wished to come out of the court-yard, but to allow no one to go in. Nevertheless a lady, attired in a paletot, or pardessus, or cloak of some kind, with a blue collar, imitated from that of the students, pre sented herself at the gate, and requested permission to pass. " Gracious Heavens !" exclaimed General Patkul, on seeing this strange apparition. " What is the meaning of this, Madam?" he continued riding up to the lady ? "What is this costume ? What do you want ? Who are you P" "I am a student," said the lady calmly; "I want to go into the court-yard, to join the meeting." " And are you not ashamed, Madam," cried the General, "to think of going into the midst of a crowd of young men?" " No," replied the etudiante, " they know me. I have nothing to fear from them." I wish to speak to them, to tranquillise them." " Go home, Madam, go home !" said Patkul, ter minating the conversation, and motioning to the gendarme to keep the gate closed. This occurred just before the deputation of five came out. In the court-yard of the cadet corps another scene was taking place. Gen. Bustrom,commander of the second division of the Guard, was haranguing the Finland regiment (forming part of the said division), and preparing the soldiers for noble deeds. ‘ r f r e , he ), y o u ill s a g out have(they to bring t o -day traditionalra somebz ata disorderly My rd uc e hv ry ai l lrd° young men to reason. These students who are so unruly now, will, when they are a little older, become functionaries, and you know how the functionaries rob you and everyone they come in contact with. We must chastise them, and, per haps, when they rise to be clerks they will not plunder you so much." This high-minded and truthful disc3urse was not received with cheers. At its conclusion, as the number of persons on the quay had greatly increased, the regiment was marched out and drawn up eight deep facing the crowd. Carriages were not allowed to pass either way, and thus a fair field was left to Gen. B ustrom for his manoeuvres. Soon afterwards the five deputies left the court yard, and, going up to Gen era l P a tk u l, as k e d if they could proceed to Gen. Ignatieft's house with out fear of being arrested. g‘ Deputies ! what are deputies ?" cried the over police-master when the emissaries had described themselves.

There was a commission for the favourite, but tb.e limit was TIIF 1487 7 -DAY IN THE STATES. _(Froin. the Special Correspondent of the Times.) RACINE, WISCONSIN, SEPT. 2G. The Confederate States had their day of prayer and fasting and humiliation more than three months ago, and on Thursday, the 13th of June, the bishop and pastors of all the various congregations in the South were praying for success in the com ing contest with their bitter enemies and oppres sors, and using very much the same language h2fore the throne of lleaven as the preachers of the North indulged in today. The religious union of the States is ruptured rather on the question of slavery than on the States' rights, and even the Roman Catholic Church exhibits a schism on that point in its smooth and varnished surface, and shows the Bishop of New York and the Bishop of New Orleans engaged in open controversy. I cannot answer for the mode in which the day was observed in other parts of the Union, but I know that in Chicago, through which I was passing at the date prefixed to this portion of my letter, the injunctions to close the shops were not altogether attended to, although the churches were tolerably well attended, and the observance marked with decorum. The small edifice which serves as the Protestant Episcopal Church was nearly filled by a respectable congregation, of whom the majority were as usual women ; and the Bishop of Illinois, in a subtle and rather dramatic course, seemed to indicate to his hearers, that the rebellion was a sin against Heaven, the consequences of which were only to be averted by the individual repentance of the nation as Christians. Nor did he spare those sins of the United States, and at one allusion to those who sought to make fortunes out of their :country's misery by exorbitant profits and charges on contracts many a glance was exchanged among his auditors. The adaptation of our Liturgy to republican institutions and persons offers some difficulties, and it excites a curious train of thought to hear the prayer for the Queen used in behalf of a President who goes out of office at the end of four years, but who is followed by the entreaties of the Episcopal Church for his eternal welfare to the end of his life. The occasion was improved by a de mand for an eleemosynary contribution for the Home Guard—that is, for the bishop's clergy and missionaries. But men's thought and words were far more occupied by General Fremont and the Pre sident than by the fast day, if one may judge from the conversation of all men. On the whole, the majority of the people here, so far as I can judge, support the General and condemn the President's letter, and even the President himself sometimes, in unsparing language. " Strange," they say, " that he could think it expedient to exhibit such solici tude about the rights of the slaveholders, when he had not a word to say in reference to a much more serious matter—viz., the threats of General Fre mont towards such white people as he may find in rebellion." The German, or, as it is oddly styled by the Americans hereabout, the Dutch population, is with Fremont to a man, and they are a most powerful and important element in the fighting and voting powers of the State of Illinois. To them this is indeed a rebellion, and they carry out the doc trine of the Government at Washington (on which, however, it does not presume to act) that the Con federates are rebels, and should be treated accord ingly, while the Government only ventures to con sider Mr. Davis and his friends as rebels, and will not yield on that point even for the sake of the Federal prisoners in his hands, while they gratify their pique by refusing styles and titles and their military or civil ranks to the chiefs and officers of the Government at Richmond. The democrats, of course, are irritated and indignant, and declare Fre • moot ought to be removed immediately. Continual accusations are made against him in the newspapers, which are only of consequence as indicative of the serve, which are t o d r i ve hi m designs of those they out of the service. He is accused of waste and extra vagance in his contracts, of personal inaccessibility and hauteur, of dilatorieiss and neglect of duty, which has led to the loss of Lexington, and of niner other offeinrea No rnrlL). that, ne nas no money, and is therefore obliged to procure necessaries for the public service on credit, and in competition with the Governors of various States, and consequently at higher rates ; that he is constantly thwarted and impeded by demands for troops; that he sees his regiments takeu away from him by orders from " We pray very hard in Illinois to-day, sir," said a gentleman to me, " because it's very awkward to have these Confederates coming up on our flank here; • they are now in a line with Quincy and Hannibal, and if Fremont does not stop them we have only our prayers to trust to." Another gentle man, one of the Judges, remarked, with some truth, "I fear we never would hare had this day of prayer and humiliation at all, only for the battle of Bull's Run." It is obvious that, instead of going down the Mississippi just now, General Fremont is going up the Missouri, and it remains to be seen whether ho will succeed in driving the Confederates out of the north-west of Missouri. Before he left St. Louis yesterday (27th) he authorised another innovation on the policy of the Government by ex changing a Confederate prisoner in his hands for a Federal colonel. Jefferson city, the capital of Mis souri, 125 miles west of St. Louis, will be the new base of his operation. Lexington is 100 miles as the crow flies to the north-west of Jefferson, but it is considerably farther by the river, which is about half a mile wide, and flows rapidly. The rail road will enable Fremont to collect his troops speedily, but his forces are inferior in numbers to the Confederates, who are said to have concen trated the corps of Price, Rains, and M'Cullough to oppose him, and if he is beaten, his position and that of Missouri, as far as its Federal relations are concerned, appear hopeless. At the other side of the Missouri river there is a railroad, 0n1y . 40 miles away, which leads to Hannibal and Quincy, and thence across the river to the Illinois railways ; and, looking at the map merely, it seems feasible for the Confederates, as they are in light marching order and have little or no baggage, to make a dash at it, even after defeat, which would effect a most powerful diversion. Their forces are estimated at 25,000 men. Fremont has under him less than 20,000, and he cannot take all of these from St. Louis; indeed, there is already an outcry from the Western States that their troops are taken away for the purposes of the Eastern and Northern States, and that they are left without adequate defence; and there seems to be a disposition to localise the contingents of each State, possibly because people are becoming ignorantly impatient of the inactivity of the large armies gathered around Washington. Few of the States, except the smaller and more populous of the New England group, have turned out such a proporticn of men as might be expected from the number of voters, and one journalist here brays forth a terrible blast on his organ, and calls on the residue to drill diligently. For what think you ? In order that they may be able to fight their fellow-countrymen at the end of the war in case the successful and pampered legions should wish to serve the purpose of their military leaders, and take more power than they have a right to claim ! It will be observed that lowa is to raise its contin gent without recourse to draughting, as Secretary Cameron wishes to rely on the loyalty of the people ; but I hear that there is a considerable peace party in the State likely to carry their doctrines into prac tical effect. It was my intention to have visited St. Louis before my return to Washington, and to have witnessed some of the operations down the Mississippi had the expedition been ready to start, but the intel ligence from the capital indicates the possibility of ac tive operations and I return thither on Monday (30th) there being no train to-morrow. It would be use less to follow General Fremont to the Far West, as no one can tell where he will move to, and it would take at least 3-!, days to send a letter from Jefferson to New York, and still more to Boston, for the steamers, while the telegraph would convey the practical results of his movements with some trust worthiness up to a few hours of their departure. Those operations are most important, but the theatre at Washington is larger, and I therefore return before the curtain is raised once more for the ter rible drama of battle. If the hostile armies could only move up here, all their infantry, cavalry, and artillery might mancouvre splendidly on these mar,. nificent prairies—regular fighting grounds and war carpets, and all that they would need would be generals capable of handling such masses of men, It is scarcely necessary to observe that there is not anything like the numbers on either side which the New York journals state, and that the totals fall far• short of the very round numbers of the romantic Alnaschars. I have two anecdotes of two peers, who might be said to come under the description of half-witted. In their case, the same sort of dry Scottish humour came out under the cloak of mental disease. A Scottish nobleman of the, last century had been a soldier the greater part of 1 , ;- but was ebliged to come home on acerration of mind, superindumi propensity. Desirous of under due restraint, and, at the same time, of engaging his mind in his favourite pursuit, his friends pro cured a Sergeant Briggs to be his companion and overseer; and to render the sergeant acceptable as a companion, they introduced him to the old earl as Colone l Briggs. ! long asked how he liked the colonel, the earl answered, butt rye well ; he is a sensible man, an d a good soldier, smells damnably of the halbert...Reminocctices of ,00ta Life and Character, A further discharge of troops teok place at Chat ham garrison yesterday, when 70 non-commissioned officers and men of several cavalry and infantry ecrps, who had, been forwarded from the various military stations, were discharged from the invalid establishment, on account of their unfitness for fur ther service, and forwarded to their respective homes, the whole of them having been previously in.. spceted by the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital. A general order from the Horse Guards, signed by Sir J. Yorke Scarlett, Adjutant-General, and dated the 10th inst., has been received at Chatham, in which are laid down a code of rules to be observed by general and commanding officers in granting leave of absence. Leave of absence granted under this order to officers might commence on the 15th inst., or as soon after as the half-yearly inspections should have been made. Furloughs to non-com missioned officers and soldiers may commence from the Ist of Nov. All leaves of absence are to termi nate on the 14th of March, 1862, when, in confor mity with the Queen's Regulations, all officers and soldiers are to be present with their respective regi ments or depots. One field officer, ono half of the captains, and one half of the subaltern officers are always to be present. No officer, except in the per formance of duty, or for the purpose of joining his regiment, is to quit the United Kingdom without having first obtained her Majesty's special permis sion. Officers employed upon the recruiting service or upon the staff of the army arc not to be included in the number fixed for the constant duty of the regiment or depot. In cases of short leave of absence being required by adjutants, ridingmasters, quar termasters, or veterinary surgeons of regiments, it will be necessary that a special report be made as the mode in which their duties are to be performed during their absence, and stating that the command ing officer is satisfied. The proportion of non-com missioned officers, trumpeters, drummers, and pri vate men to whom furloughs may be granted is not to exceed 20 per battery of horse and field Artillery, or 10 per troop, battery of garrison Artillery, or com pany. Commanding officers of regiments returning from India may exercise a liberal discretiOn in grant• ing furloughs to soldiers who come home with their corps. The Duke of Cambridge expects that the general and other officers empowered to grant leave of absence will strictly confine that grant to the proportion of officers specified. Yesterday afternoon advantage was taken of the fine weather by Major-General Eyre to have a brigade field-day of the troops composing the gar rison of Chatham under his command, additional interest being felt in the proceedings by the public on account of this being the first occasion of the Infantry and Royal Artillery being brigaded toge ther since the latter have been quartered at Chat ham. The troops were assembled in front of their respective quarters shortly after 1 o'clock. The various corps then marched by different routes to the Lines, where they were formed at half-past 2. Those on the ground consisted of the D battery of the 9th Brigade, Royal Artillery, with a complete park of artillery, numbering six 12-pounder Arm strong guns, waggons and horses complete, under the command of Capt. Humphreys; the three depot battalions of Infantry of the Line, under the re spective commands of Cols. Jervis, Phillips, and Fairtlongh ; and the battalion of Royal Marines Light Infantry, commanded by Col. Gascoigne, C.B. The troops were formed in contiguous quar ter-distance columns, the - Infantry occupying the centre of the mass, with thE:Royal Artillery and the Royal Marines on the right and left respectively , Major-Gen.

TOZEAU'S COPAHINE, or SACCHARA.TED CAPSULES.—Copaiba and Cubeba are doubtless the best remedies, but these drugs are of a repulsive taste and odour, and occasion colicky pains, nausea, and gastric dis turbance. M. Jozeau has succeeded in rendering these valu able therapeutic agents perfectly innocuous by increasing in his Copahine all the curative properties. This preparation has been adopted by the Paris Academy of Medicine, after more than a thousand trials in Paris and the different Lon don hospitals, viz., St. Thomas's, Guy's, and St. Bartholo mew's, under the care of Messrs. Lloyd, Poland, and Leszros Clark.—" Lancet," Nov. 6 and Dec. 10, 1857. The Copahine, which is in form of a pretty pink sugar plum, effects a cure in about six days, either in •recent or chronic diseases. 100 capsules, 4s. 6d. ; post free, ss. 2d.

SELF -PRESERVATION.---A popular Essay on Nervous and Physical Debility, resulting from injurious habits contracted in youth, or excesses in maturity, which, by prematurely exhausting the functions of Manhood, de stroy the happiness of Married Life or prevent the fulfil ment of engagements which constitute the most cherished objects of existence. By Dr. LAWERT, 37, Bedford-square, London. Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, &c. The alibve work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous rein.dies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac tising Nritlx false medical qualifications, inflict most serious injuries, and rend.- judicious treatment frequently abortive. The Author is the c IPeally qualified practitioner whose name stands on the Menioal Register (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the variou 3 functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive system, which, owing to the great discoveries of modern science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple, and easy mode of treatment.
