By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary 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 valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

THE NAVY. The Triton, 3, paddlewheel steamvessel, Lieut.- Commander Robert H. Burton, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the West Coast of Africa. Her dates are—Sierra Leone, Dec. 8; Teneriffe, Dec. 20; and Vigo, the 2d inst. Fine weather was experi enced until reaching lat. 37 N., when on the 24th and 25th December she was obliged to lay to in con sequence of a heavy gale, accompanied by a high sea from the westward. The Triton was commis sioned at Woolwich on the 17th October, 1857, since which time she has been constantly employed in the suppression of the slave trade, in which she has been most successful, having captured six vessels, one of which had 600 slaves on board; the remaining five were empty, but one of them had on board specie to the amount of £2,000. All the officers who left England in the Triton have returned home in her, with the exception of a mate and an assistant engi neer, the former of whom was promoted, and the latter returned to England on appointment to ano ther vessel. The ship has been remarkably healthy during her commission,the following being her return of deaths on the station, from which it will be seen only one arose from the effects of the climate:—Wm. Brisley, ship's steward, drowned, Feb. 20, 1858, in landing through the surf to obtain bullocks for the ship; D. Thomas, carpenter's crew, Dec. 3, 1858, disease of the heart; E. Muggleton, A. 8., Nov. 8, 1858, from injuries received by falling from aloft; J. Williams, A. 8., apoplexy, April 24, 1859 ; C. Bluett, A. 8., drowned by falling overboard from a prize on her passage to St. Helena, Aug. 30, 1859; J. Chase, stoker, fever, Sept. 24, 1859 ; W. Murphy, musician, consumption, Sept. 26, 1859. The follow ing movements of the coast squadron are reported : The Arrogant, 46, screw, with the commodore, ex pected at Sierra Leone; the Falcon, 17, screw, on her passage from south to north coast ; the Espoir at Ascension ; the Prometheus ordered from north to south coast ; the Alecto at Lagos Nov. 24 ; the Torch at Sierra Leone ; the Ranger left Lagos Nov. 24, on a cruise ; the Bloodhound gone up the Niger. The Archer,Wrangler,and Sharpshooter on the south coast. The Spitfire was ordered to England, and had left for St. Paul de Loando, with the Pioneer (of Dr. Livingstone's expedition), which vessel she was ordered to tow to the southward, proceeding to England via:Ascension. The slave trade was greatly on the increase along the coast, and the American cruisers had made many captures. The coast was generally healthy. The Triton is •ordered to pro ceed to Woolwich to dismantle and pay off. The Duncan, 101, screw two-decker, at Ports mouth, was yesterday brought down the harbour and placed under the sheers for the purpose of shipping a three-Eaded propeller. The Megezra, screw trospship, Commander Hen derson, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, from ser vice in the relief of troops at the Channel Islands. The entire space of ground between the first and second docks at Chatham, which is of considerable extent, has been completely cleared of the sheds and other buildings which formerly stood upon it, several of which had been erected a great number of years, in order that the site may be cleared and levelled for the erection upon it of the workshops, sheds, and forges for the use of the mechanics and engineers who will be employed in constructing the large iron-plated mail-clad steamer ordered to be built in the adjoining (No. 2) dock. The con tract for the erection of the workshops has been taken by the firm of Messrs. Grissell and Co. The gunboat Redwing, tender to the gunnery ship Cambridge, conveyed Capt. Jerningham yes terday from Hamoaze into Plymouth Sound,.where that officer inspected the crew of the screw steam corvette Jason, 21, Capt. E. Von Donop. The War Department steam vessel Lord Panmure, Mr. Moore, master, from Woolwich, with ammuni tion and war missiles, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Sunday, and went immediately up Hamoaze. She is now alongside the gun-wharf Devonport, discharging her cargo. Ordeis have been received at Devonport to supply all first-class ships in the navy with gigs 30 feet long, instead of 23 feet, as heretofore. According to the statement after inspection, the condition of the screw steam flagship Royal Albert, 121, Captain Henry Lacon, at Devonport, is so doubtful that a special report has been made, and until the result of the deliberation on that report is known it is uncertain whether she will continue in commission. The following is a list of the officers in the Royal Navy whose deaths have been officially reported to the Admiralty since Sept. 20, 1860 :—Admirals the Right Hon. Thomas Earl of Dundonald, G.C.8., Sir C. Napier, K.C.8., C. Gordon, C 8., Sir J. Hind marsh, K.H., the Right Hon. David Earl of Leven and Melville, and the Hon. H. D. Byng ; Capts. J Cammilleri, Wm.

(From the New York Correspondent of the Times.) NEW YORK, Dec. 25, 1860. Christmas day of the year 1860 is anything but a merry Christmas to the people of the United States. Instead of the peace and goodwill which two months since reigned throughout the land we have dissension and dismemberment, threatening anarchy and civil war,unless arrested. The powers of the Government, so far as they are used at all, are used for its own de struction ; and, by a fatality which promises to be irresistible, the precipitate action of one State, dis contented with the results of an election, threatens to entangle the relations of all the other slave States, and create a public opinion within their borders that will carry them also in the same course, unless the victorious North shall concede everything that it has won in the recent election. That which would be called treason in the latitude of New York is patriotism in the latitude of South Carolina, and support of the Union at Washington means a countenance of the Disunionists by yielding to them all they wish. Since the date of my last letter South Carolina has completed the formal act of withdrawal from the Union. This important document, which may be a turning-point in American history, was passed unanimously, and reads as follows : "AN ORDINANCE TO DISSOLVE THE UNION BETWEEN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND OTHER STATES UNITED WITH HER UNDER THE COMPACT ENTITLED THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AME RICA. " We, the people of the State of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, do declare and ordain, and it is hereby declared and ordained, that the ordinance adopted by us in Convention, on the 23d day of May, in the year of our Lord 1788, whereby the Constitution of the United States of America was ratified, and also all acts and parts of acts of the General Assembly of this State ratifying amend ments of the said Constitution, are hereby repealed, and that the union now subsisting between South Carolina and other States, under the name of the United States of America, is hereby dissolved." One hundred and sixty-nine gentlemen of South Carolina voted for it, and subscribed their names to it, in the presence, as I judge from the newspapers, of a large multitude of sympathisers, who loudly cheered every prominent leader as he crossed the platform to seat himself at the table for signing. The same body has under consideration, and will doubtless soon act upon, a public declaration to the world of the grievances which have forced South Carolina, in the mild language of the South, to re sume the powers delegated to the Federal Govern ment. This address was prepared by a committee, of which Mr. Bainwell Rhett is chairman. The following resume of it comes to us by telegraph : • "The State of South Carolina, having deter mined to resume a separate and equal rank among nations, deems it due to herself and the remaining United States of America, and the nations of the world, that she should declare the causes which led to the act. In 1765 that portion of the British Em pire embracing Great Britain undertook to make laws for the Government of the American colonies. A struggle for the right of self-government ensued, which resulted on the 4th of July, 1776, in a declaration by the colonies that they are, and of right ought to be free, and independent States, and that as free and independent States they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do such things as independent States have the right to do. They further solemnly declared that whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the established right of the people to alter and abolish it, and institute a new Government. Deeming that the Government of Great Britain had become de structive of these ends, they declarett the colonies free and absolved from allegiance to the British Crown, and the political connexion between them and Great Britain was totally dissolved. " The committee say the right of a State to govern itself, and the right of the people to abolish a Go vernment when it becomes destructive of the ends for which it was instituted, were expressed when the colonies separated from the mother country, and became free and independent States. The par ties amending the Constitution on the 17th of Sep tember, 1787, were the several Sovereign States. " On the 23d of May, 1788, South Carolina, by a Convention of her people, assented to the amended Constitution of the United States. The failure of one of the contracting parties to maintain constitu tional obligations released the other. Fifteen of the Northern States have deliberately refused for years to fulfil their constitutional obligations. We would refer to those States for a proof of this. When the fourth article of the Constitution was adopted the greater number of the contracting parties held slaves. The hostility of the Northern States to the institution of slavery had led them to disregard their constitutional obligations. The laws of the general Government have ceased to effect the objects of the Constitution. Maine, New Hamp shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and lowa have e nacted laws either nullifying the Constitution or rendering useless all attempts to execute the acts of Congress. In many of these States fugitives held to service and to labour hare been claimed, but in none of them has the State Government complied with the stipu lation on this subject made in the Constitution. " In the formation of the Federal Government each State was recognised as an equal; the right of property in slaves was recognised by giving all free persons distinct political rights; by giving them the right to represent, and burdening them with direct taxes for three-fifths of their slaves ; by authorising the importation of slaves for 20 years, and by stipulating for the rendition of fugi tives from labour. The endr3for which this Govern ment was instituted have been defeated, and the Government itself made destructive by the action of the non-slaveholding States. Those States as sumed the right of deciding upon the propriety , of our domestic institutions. They denied the rights of property established in 15 States and recognised by the constitution. They have denounced as sin ful the institution of slavery ; have permitted the astablishinent of societies whose avowal and open obj citizens otherect are to diitur. b the peace and prosperity of the States; they have encouraged -tur slaves to leave their and assisted thrmands I—en incited by henies; mid those 1018 remain have uv.— eihiciafieti, by books and pletttres i td 011111. rection. 25 years this agitation has been steadily increasing, until they have sedtifed the power' of the common Government. Observing the farina of the constitution, a sectional party has found, within that article establishing an executive de partment means of subverting the constitution itself. A geographical line has been drawn across the Union, and all States north of that lino hate tinited iii the eletaticin of a man to the high office of President of the United States whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery. lie is to be intrusid with the administration of the it is declared that a common Government, beerni;'9 d ov ettiment cannot endure permanent half slave and half free, and that the public mind' must rest in the belief that slavery is in the course of ultimate extinction. The sectional cottibinatlon for the subversion of the Constitution has been , aided in the States by elevating to citizenship persons who, by the supreme law of the land, are incapable of becoming citizens, and their votes have been used to inaugurate the new polity hostile to the South and destructive to its peace and safety. On the 4th of March next this party will take possession of the Government. It has been an nounced that the South shall be excluded from the common territory; that the judicial tribunals will be made sectional ; that war must be waged against_ slavery until it shall cease throughout the United States. The guarantees of the Constitution wil then no longer exist—equal rights of the States willhat% lost—the siaveholding States will no long the power of self-government or self-protection, and the Federal Government have become their enera s y. Sectional interests and animosity r endered vain irritation, and all hope of remed i opinions roef will deepen the the North by the fact that the public the sanction of has invested the political error with more erroneous religious belief. " We, therefore, the people of South Carolina, by our delegates, in Con vention assembled, appeal ing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the e Z , - - ,:_,_,A _3 P. , le- 4 1 ). STAMPED, 5:. rectitude of our intentions, have solemly declared the Union heretofore existing between this State and the other States of North America dis solved, and that the State of South Carolina has re sumed her position among the nations of the world as a free, sovereign, and independent State, with full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract. alliances, establish commerce, and do all other sets and things which independent States may of right do ; and for the support of this declaration, w ithi a firm reliance for protection on Divine Providence, we mntually pledge each other our lives, our for tunes, and our sacred honour." There is somothing very sad, were it not for the me gnitude of the interests at stake—the existence of a great and free nation, it might be called ludi crously so, iu the debate which took place immedi ately on the passage of the ordinance. Judge Ma grath, late Judge of the Federal Court for the State, saw at once the logical force of the act. " To my un derstanding," he says, " there is no collector of the post or postmaster now within the limits of South Carolina. What you have done to-day has extin guished the authority of every man in Carolina deriving authority from the General Government." The next speaker reiterates the position. " All the laws of Congress fall instantly to the ground on the act of secession." Mr. Miles, the member of Congress from the Charleston district, replies, " We have to deal with facts and stern realities. We must prevent confusion, anarchy, and the de rangement of our Government affairs. Things for the present must remain in statu quo, or confusion will arise." Mr. Chestnut says, " Two questions are involved, power and duty. We must preserve our people not only from inconvenience, but chaotic condition. We must revivify such laws as will best preserve us from calamities. As to duty, will you turn the ship of State adrift ? What will be come of the officers ?" Mr. Calhoun says—and who, whether friend or foe, will not sympathise in the remark ?—" We have pulled a temple down that has been built three quarters of a century. We must clear the rubbish away to construct an other. We are now houseless and homeless, and must secure ourselves against the storm." Mr. Dunkin takes a less sweeping view of the effect of the ordinance. "We must keep the wheels of go vernment going. The constitution of the United States is not entirely abrogated by the ordinance. What is legal tender in the payment of debts ? Is it not gold and silver of the United States? In the case of clearing and entry of vessels we are very liable to have the same confiscated." But this view of the case was not to the mind of the leaders of the move. Mr. Gregg " desires no compromise. Is it necessary to maintain the 15 to 40 per cent. duties imposed by the Congress of the United States ? Should these duties continue to be levied our people will suffer a terrible calamity. For car rying the mails let the present contracts be assumed by South Carolina instead of the United States." And Mr. Barnwell says again—" We have seceded from the United States and established our inde pendence. We cannot allow the United States to exercise authority over us any more. Let postal convenience be sacrificed if necessary. There never was anything purchased worth having unless it cost a sacrifice." Since this remarkable discussion the Convention have been twice in session, and have had under consideration, with closed doors, the relations with the Federal Government. They have also appointed three commissioners to proceed to Wash ington to negotiate with the Federal Government for the surrender of the forts, and the distribution of the national debt. The gentlemen named for this duty, Mr. Barnwell, Mr. Adams, and Mr. Orr, are all of them known beyond the limits of their State. Mr. Orr was the Speaker of the last House, at that time a Union man, as Union men g 6 in Carolina, and made an acceptable presiding officer at Washington. Mr. Adams has been Governor of South Carolina, and has been long known as a Se cessionist. He is a relative of the late Mr. Brooks, who committed the assault on Mr. Sumner, and very much of his style of thinking and acting. It is understood that these gentlemen will be infor mally received by the President, and by him re ferred to Congress. Meanwhile the act of a Charles ton mob may at any moment precipitate violence and bloodshed. I believe from such information as I can gather that it is difficult now to restrain the mob and prevent it attacking the forts in the har bour ; and unless the President makes up his mind to give South Carolina all she wants—which, judg ing from his course hitherto, seems most likely— the forts will be attacked, Mr. Miles, of South Carolina, in a speech before the Convention gives an account of a remarkable interview that took place between himself and the President : " My colleagues and myself considered it desir able that we should confer with the members from the other Southern States that we might have full information upon all that concerns the interests and domestic affairs of the South. We went there, not as spies, but as vigilant sentinels, and to procure all information wich we could conceive of as valuable for our people. The remarks of my hon oured friend appear to me calculated to give a very wrong impression on the minds of the people of this state. I have not the remotest idea that the President of the United States will send any rein forcement to the forts in our harbour. I would say now frankly, for I desire no concealment, and I do not think there should be at this time anything of the kind among the members of this great body, but with perfect frankness I will state here that I and some of my colleagues, in a conversatfbn with the President of the United States, and subse quently in a written communication addressed to him at his request, we did say this, after speaking of the great excitement about the forts and prepa rations and rumours, ' Mr. President, it is our solemn conviction, if you attempt to send a solitary soldier down to those forts, the instant the intelli gence reaches our people—and we shall take care that it does reach them—the forth will certainly be taken. We would urge them to do it, and would go home to help in the work, because that would be a matter of self-defence. It would be suicidal folly to allow Fort Sumter or the.others to be manned. We further said, ' It is our conviction that the people of South Carolina would not touch those forts or do anything to molest its garrison prior to the meeting of the Convention.' We were perfectly sure of that. We also hoped and believed that nothing would be done after that until we had had a formal adjustment with the Federal Government, or until those forts were demanded by the State. That was the substance of our communication. And. I I say again that there is not an intention to rein -4-I,A forts.

Gen. Cass urg.._ president that the forts should be reinforced. The )., has resisted, and allowed a Cabinet officer to W it:.l. draw rather than to yield to the proposition. Now is it natural after such an act that the President should vacillate and concede to other influences that which he so strongly and promptly refused to a personal friend in the Cabinet P I cannot believe it. I cannot think he would be so weak , so veal lating, so uncertain. I therefore feel, there is not the slightest earthly reason t e o a IP ( 7-1 that the Administration will reinforce the g as I said,__tha.t and if he should do it, it is utterly 1 and timely imravihie that he could do it without our gettingraai of the troops." notice, and anticipating the aril' South Carolina may, therefore, now be considered out of the Union, so far as her own declarations can make her so. St ate Conventions are to be held next mouth in the cotton States as follows :—ln Florida o n the sd, in A l a bama on the 7th, in Mississippi on the 7th, in Texas on the Bth, in Georgia on the 9th, and in Louisiana on the 23d. It is not easy to get accurate information here as to these bodies. I believe however that there will be a majority in each of them in favour of immediate and separate secession. The act of South Carolina has changed the face of things in the contested States, like Georgia, and I think you may look before the end of January for news of the secession of all the plant ing States. But Ido not gather from my advises that the secession party pure and simple has been gaining ground in these States.; on the contrary, consequences to it grows weaker as the mig ht y flow .from the disintegration of this Government :,~ .~• ,Y: i:y . 7 r. NEWSPAPER \ 1,4 ` l, 1, cZt:. begin to be comprehended, and, with the excel:, -of South Carolina, the move out will be made wi a view of moving back again when the. Constitution. NT f] of the United States shall be amen:led so as to pro tect property in slaves in the terrlitories. The border States are also rapidly moving towards secession. One would think that, in the event of dismember ment of the present federation, their interests would be with the Northern States, who would then give them complete protection to their slave propertir without. offending public sentiment. On the con trary, the di anion sentiment is spreading rapidly. Not actual pTesent secession, like South Carolina, hut a temporary separation for the sake of forming a more perf(ct union hereafter, excluding New England unless she gives the new guarantees w,th a good will. Now, if you ask me what will be the result of alI I i these complications, 1 frankly say I do not know, nor do I believe that there is any one here wise enough to calculate the chances and foresee the end. Governor Seward made a speech at the New Eng land dinner on Saturday, in which he prophesies peace and harmony at no distant day. On the other hand, a well-informed Southern friend writes from Washington . " While I hear all men from the border States express the strongest disapprobation of the course of the cotton States, I find none who believe or even hope that the border States can be saved. The tone of the speeches and conversations of the leading Northern men shows a determination to resist with force the secession if South Carolina and others, and this will be the signal for the border States to move. They will be moved to this course not alone by a feeling of sympathy for South Carolina, but because the struggle will be one of life or death to themselves, as the means employed to subdue South Carolina would be destructive to every Slave State. Ido not doubt, therefore, but that the first gun will unite the Slave States, and. from present appearances that gun will be fired" In the midst of so much conflicting testimony and. opinion it is not easy to make up one's mind, but I adhere to my original opinion that a way will be found to reconcile the differences of the two parts of the country and bring back into the Union all who secede, except the States that leave from a desire to set up for themselves. These it may take more time to win back, I found my opinion partly upon the wish of 31 out of 33 States to continue the part nership, if the present difficulties can be peaceably adjusted, and partly upon the fact known in well informed circles here that many of the most influential Republicans in the middle States are urging concession in private, and only wait a decided expression of public opinion in this part of the country to urge it in public. It is true that Mr. Crittenden's resolutions of conciliation, which I sent you last week, but a copy of which I again enclose, were voted down in the Senate Committee ; but I apprehend that they will, nevertheless, be made the basis of the coming compromise. Par parenthese, I beg to say,that my opinions are predi— cated upon the continuance of a state of peace. If you read carefully Governor Seward's speech at the New England dinner, you will see that he commits himself to two propositions : —l, That the time has come for some amendment of the constitution of the United States ; and 2, That the new compromiso must be one on which Pennsylvania, New York„ and New England can stand. A month since no Republican leader would have talked about com promises and concessions. Motives of humanity, too, call for a hastening of the adjustment. There is a tract of land, 200 miles in width, in the centre of the Slave States, entirely destitute of food. They are almost suffering starvation, and yet, in the deranged state of trade, it is impossible to get food to them. The Senate Committee made a beginning yesterday, by adopting one proposition, that "no amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorise or give to Congress any power to abolish or interfere in any State with the domestic institutibns thereof, including that of persons held to service or labour by the laws of such State," but refused to adopt a proposition that the " fugitive slave law of 1850 shall be so amended as to secure to the alleged fugitive a trial by, jury ;" and a third proposition that " it be respectfully recommended to the several State Legislatures to review all of their laws affecting the rights of persons recently resident in other States, and to modify or repeal all such as shall contravene the provisions of the con stitution of the 'United States, or of any of the laws made in pursuance thereof." The two rejected propositions received only the support of the Republican members of the committee. An interview lately took place at Springfield between the President elect and Mr. Thurlow Weed, of the Albany Evening Journal—an influen tial Republican leader, pledged to concessions. Many accounts of what was supposed to have taken place at that interview having been published, Mr. Weed has made public the following statement : " Since the newspapers have made our recent visit to Springfield the occasion of remark, it may not be improper to say that an interview with Mr. Lincoln has confirmed and strengthened our confi dence in his fitness for the high position he is to occupy ; of his eminent qualifications for the great trust reposed in him ; of his enlightened apprecia tion of the difficulties and dangers that surround us; of his desire that the Free States, if in 'any thing delinquent, shall fulfil their constitutional duties ; of his determination to require from all the States an enforcement of the laws and obedience to the Constitution ; and, finally, of his earnest and inflexible devotion to the principles and sympathies of Republicanism." The Republican party is rapidly dividing into those who will make concessions to the seceders and those who wish to enforce the laws of the country. The Republican members of Congress mainly are of the latter class. A gigantic fraud has taken place in the depart ment of the interior discreditable to the Government, and compromising at least one Cabinet officer, the Secretary at War. The Indian fund was mainly invested in State bonds payable to bearer, which were left in a safe in the department of the interior, in charge of a disunionist clerk. It appears that at least 800,000 dole. of these bonds have been ab stracted and sold for the benefit of the contractors for the army of Utah, and that the acceptances of the Secretary at War have been issued to a corre sponding amount. The Secretary at 'War denies all knowledge of the transaction, and the defaulting clerk confirms the denial. Congress have taken the matter in hand, and appointed an incvestigating committee.

The severity of the weather, both in England and on the Continent, in Jan., 1789, is mentioned in the Annual Register for that year, Citron. p.p. 193-6. It is stated that the Seine was entirely frozen over; that the Rhine was frozen over at Cologne, and that in many places loaded waggons and carriages passed over it ; and that the Thames and the Shannon were similarly frozen. But nothing is said of the sea being frozen on the English and French coasts. Is this fact re corded in any meteorological register of the winter of 1788.9, and can it be relied upon as authentic ? Is the freezing of the sea upon the coast of France or England mentioned in any other year ?—Notes and Queries.
