" 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.futureplisebjer prevented.

Samuel Barnard Taylor, the incumbent of Kingswood, on the night of Monday, the 10th ult. The magistrates were Mr. J. C. Sherrard (Chairman), Mr. W. Phillips, and Mr; J. Hackblock.

FRANCE AND ITALY If the language of diplomacy is still somewhat pedantic and obscure, it is no longer withdrawn from the reach of popular criticism. There is no thing occult or esoteric about the negotiations now in progress respecting the temporal dominion of the Pope, and every one who reads the papers is quite as well informed as to the merits and prospects of the Roman question as Cardinal Antonelli himself. The excessive candour of Victor Emmanuel and his advisers would be amusing, if it were not quite serious, and withal in harmony with public opinion. They talk of the approaching catastrophe of Papal power, and of their own expectations or rights, as they now venture to call them, before all Europe, without the least delicacy or reserve. They do not pretend to say that anything but the French occu pation of Rome prevents their annexing that city forthwith, and they allude to the future in terms which can mean nothing but that they expect this obstacle to be removed on the death of Pius IX., if not earlier. This was the spirit of all Count Ca vour's later speeches and despatches, and is cordially adopted by Baron Ricasoli. The French Govern ment, on their part, by no means discourage these hopes, but confine themselves to a justification of their own attitude at Rome, and general expressions of leXalty to the Pope. In this respect, the letter of M. Thouvenel, recognising the new Italian King dom, is a fit pendant to that in which he declines the overtures of Spain and Austria. Both these documents are conciliatory, and represent, with a measured vagueness which our neighbours call pre cision, the double aspect of French policy in Italy. Both intimate that the honour of France is pledged to the defence of Rome for the present, and that no evacuation will take place till " sufficient guaran tees" are given for the protection of those interests which the Emperor is engaged to defend. But nei ther defines the nature of those interests or of the securities referred to, and we can conceive several ways in which the Imperial conscience might be satisfied on this score, short of perpetuating the Pope's sovereignty over Rome and the few suburban districts now attached to it. rteheeb, The prisoner was brought from the station in custody of Mr. Superintendent Coward, of the & R n nh in ie t s e o r n p , re a t t er th .

He begged also to mention a most important fact to the bench. The prisoner was traced to a lodging house in Wentworth-street, Whitechapel, where he arrived the night after the murder, and on the fol lowing day he confided to the care of Mr. Gal looney, the proprietor, a checked shirt which an swered in every particular the description of that worn by one of the foreigners seen at Reigate and in the neighbourhood of Kingswood. The bundle containing the shirt was bound round with a long piece of new cord exactly similar to that sold to one of the foreigners by Mrs. Pitcher, of Reigate, on the day the crime was committed, and also to that which was found tied round the hands and feet of the murdered woman. When apprehended, the prisoner was searched and various papers were found upon him. These included the following letters : " Sir,—Alone in the world and in a bad position, and for two days without a piece of bread, andnearly the whole of the week without a lodging—the blue heavens as a shel ter, I find myself in a position with which words I cannot describe. lam a native of Dresden, and have been these two months without work, and this is the reason of my hor rible position. I hope you will, therefore, have pity on a fellow-countryman, who, like a lost sheep, travels about, and shall starve if some kind-hearted friends do not take pity on me.—With my respects, " AUGUST SALTZMAN." The pertinacity with which M. Thouvenel insists in the newly-invented doctrine of non-intervention, and the gravity with which he throws on the Italian Government the whole responsibility of past and future aggressions, is calculated to provoke a smile. Yet it is only one out of many instances of the con fusion of names and ideas which Thucydides men tions as a characteristic of revolutions, and which we now know to be inseparable from a movement so complicated as the Italian. To intervene up to a certain point—that of driving a rival from a terri tory so long the darling object of French and Ger man ambition—and to proclaim the freedom of Italy from the Alps to the Adriatic, and then to stop short and warn the Italians in a lofty, but equivocal tone, against carrying out the rest of the programme is certainly not non-intervention, whatever other title it may merit. Nor can the presence of a French force at Rome for the avowed purpose of propping up a Government which must otherwise fall to pieces be easily reconciled with this prin ciple. In short, non-intervention in the French sense is quite a different policy from that which Great Britain has steadily maintained towards Italy. We abstained, however reluctantly, from all attempts to disturb the status quo when Austria was in the ascendant, and we now abstain, much more willingly, from interference with the rising liberties of Italy. The French have claimed throughout two incompatible things—the right to intervene at discretion, and the benefit as well as the credit of consistent non-intervention- Ever since her Ambassador, acting without instructions, undertook the protection of the Pope, France has been placed in a false position in Italy, and the suppression of the Roman Republic by the arms of Republican France was the earliest step in that grand political error which has led to the con querors of Magenta and Solferino being emp:oyed as the garrison of Rome. If, however, we consider the relations of France with Italy without reference to the past, or the motives which may have actuated the Em peror when Italy was still a " geographical expression" and the highest idea of Italian unity was " unification" under a Confederacy of Princes subject to foreign influence, we ought not to judge his conduct too harshly. As neutrals from the first, we can hardly appreciate the diffi culty of deserting an ally whose misfortunes com mand the sympathy and excite the indignation of half Christendom in this his extremity. As Con stitutionalists, we cannot measure the value of that secret and perhaps venal support which a despotic Administration may receive from a despotic hierarchy, and the danger of alienating the Galli can Church from the Empire. As English Pro testants, we cannot enter into the feelings with which Catholics would regard the loss of that dominion which history and reason may prove to be separable from spiritual supremacy, but which, as they know but too well, has grown to be a vital part of their system. It is in vain that Baron Ricasoli assures the Emperor that in " restoring to Italy her glorious capital" he is determined to "leave unimpaired the grandeur of the Church and the independence of the august Head of the Catho lic religion." The "independence" here promised is not what the Emperor wants; it would leave the Pope more open to Italian prejudices and less subservient to the Eldest Son of the Church, and meanwhile the glory of the Papny would have de parted. When the patrimony of St. Peter shall have been secularised, when the whole chain of genuine and fictitious title deeds by which the Patriarch of Rome became the greatest of earthly potentates shall have been cancelled, when the work of the Gregories and the Innocents shall have been undone, and the Court of Rome shall have been reduced to episcopal proportions,can any one doubt that its prestige will be weakened, and that the faith of many will wax cold ? When there is no longer a French, an Austrian, and a Spanish party at Rome, but the Pope is surrounded by patriotic Italians, when the intrigues of the Conclave are exposed to the scrutiny of a national Parlia ment and a free press, when commerce and educa tion teach the lower classes to despise as well as to hate priestly tyranny, it is possible that the thunders of the Vatican will lose none of their effect on Italy and, through Italy, on Europe ? Even if he has relinquished all selfish objects in the occupation of Rome, the Emperor is too cau tious a man not to pause before he ventures on such an experiment. The present condition of the Papacy, and the free dom with which its destiny as a temporal Power "My dear Sir,—l hope you will forgive the liberty I take by addressing these few lines to you. lam a poor workman from Shandau, in Saxony, and have been one month in London, but in such a position, words are too poor to describe. For some days I have been without food, and the blue heavens for my lodgings. I beg of you for a small donation, and may the Lord Almighty return it the thousand fold to you.—l remain, most respectfully, " AUGUST SALTZMAN." Both these letters were written in the German language, and neitherof them contained an address. Among the papers found in the room where the murder was committed was a similar begging letter addressed to Mademoiselle Tietjens, and it would also be remembered one entry in the official book, accidentally dropped by the murderers, stated that the owner was a native of Shandau, in Saxony, the same place to which reference was made in the second letter made public. William Halliday (deceased's husband) was the first witness examined. Prisoner (upon being asked through the interpre ter whether he wished to ask the witness any ques tions) said,—l know lam charged with murder, but I don't know of whom. The Clerk.—You are charged with being con cerned in the murder of Mrs. Halliday. Do you wish to ask any question of this witness ? Prisoner.—l know nothing at all about it ; and therefore why should I have any questions to put to this man ? Mr. William Bankford, the parish constable, and a grocer of Chipstead, was nest sworn.—He stated that he was in the Cricketers Inn, opposite the Reigate police station, on Monday the 10th ult. The prisoner and another foreigner was there. They appeared to be in company, and when they spoke together they conversed in a foreign language. One of them left. The prisoner remained, and witness was with him for about an hour, and could not be mistaken as to his being the person. The Clerk.—You are positive this is the man you saw at the publichouse P Witness.—Quite positiv . % The Chairman.—Let the prisoner turn round. Now, witness, are you still certain that the prisoner is the man? Witness.—" Yes, Sir ; quite certain." Witness proceeded to say that he was called upon to go up to London, and see if he could identify the pri- soner in Newgate ; and although he (prisoner) was placed among 12 or 14 other persons, he had no difficulty in pointing him out immediately. This evidence, like the preceding, was translated to the prisoner, who was asked whether he wished to put any questions to the witness. Prisoner.L.l don't know that I have any ques `ions to put, for I don't know whether I was ever .n Reigate before in my life. _ Mr. Superintendent Coward was the remaining witness. He stated that he had apprehended the prisoner upon a warrant signed by Mr. W. Street. Although he had given the name of Augustus Saltzman, he had every reason to believe his right name was Johann Carl Franz, that he was the owner of the book found in the room where the murder took place, and that he was concerned in the committal of the crime. Mr. Coward then produced the book. It was noticed that the prisoner at once became exceedingly pale, and after looking at the book hung down his heaa, and apparently remained absorbed in thought for several minutes. The usual questions having been put as to whether he desired to cross-examine witness, Prisoner (through the interpreter) said —I should like to know from what reason he thinks I ought to be the possessor of that book. He was told that the description in the book strongly favoured that impression, because he re sembled the person therein described. Prisoner.—lt has not any reference to me; and among so many Germans about here I think it very possible one German may be very like another, The Chairman.—Do you wish to ask any more questions? Prisoner.—No, no more. Mr. Superintendent Coward then applied for a remand. Ho said he had every reason to believe that by the next examination he should be in pos session of important information which would establish the identity of the prisoner as the owner of the book. The Bench then consulted together, and The Chairman said—This is a most important case, and we think it highly desirable that the re mand asked for should be granted. nu mber The prisoner was then remanded, and a of persons hastened to the doors of the hall to gaze upon him as he was conveyed back to prison- is discussed by the Cabinets of France and Italy, is a striking sign of the times. It shows that the most venerable of earthly dynasties must in these days give a reason for its existence, and submit to be judged by the standard of public utility. The Pope has at least as good a title to the States of the Church as the Sultan can show to his European territories, and the government of priests can hardly be worse than the government of Pashas. Yet it seems probable that the Ottoman Empire will survive the Papal sovereignty. The reason is that the one is reco gn i se d as a political necessity, while the other is found to be an obstacle to an object which the most enlightened nations of Europe have at heart. Nor can it fairly be said that the last successors of St. Peter have sacrificed the powers delegated to them by their own un worthiness or infatuation. The present Pope is, perhaps, as enlightened as a monk can be. It is not his personal inferiority to others who have worn the tiara in perilous times, but the unchangeable nature of the Papal despotism—the boasted in flexibility of the system—that will prove its ruin. s The arts that suffice to impose on earlier_ m genera tions, all the subtle statecraft that put to h the finesse of secular diplomacy , the condescension sacension and liberality that were once a successful substi tute for freedom and justice , have lost their efficacy. The scandals of the modern Court of Rome are as nothing beside those to be found in the pages of Gibbon ; the indignities from which Napoleon HI. has saved Pius IX. ar e trifling compared with _ those offered by Napoleon to one of his pre decessors, or by Philip the Fair to Boniface VIII, ; the late misrule of the Papal States, by men who have no children," has probably not been a whit greater than it was when Philip d e Comines pronounced " the territory of the Church one of the best habitations for the subject in the world . . . for the Popes are always "wise, and have good counsel about them." Yet the temporal dominion of the Papacy is doomed, and the prophecy of its downfall, once embraced by Europe, is struggling with terrible rapidity and regularity to fulfil itself. Superstition is more than a match for force, but it is no match for intelligence and liberty. The ideas which came into being in the sixteenth century have proved too strong for tradition ; ecclesiastical statesmanship has been fairly worsted by modern civilisation, and jesuitry, as applied to the government of a people in the n i ne t een th century, has at length been weighed in tne:,balance and found wanting,-2"iniee.

The first draught from the Indian, depots in Colchester Camp, to reinforce regiments on foreign service, will embark in the Clarence on Tuesday. It will consist of a detachment of men and boys from the Ist battalion Ist Royals, in charge of Lieut. Freeborn, under orders for Madras. The other depots which will contribute draughts about the middle of the month will be the 34th, 38th, 54th, 56th, 88th, and 97th Regiments. The Ist battalion of the 6th Foot being first on the list to return home, the heavy draught from that depot, which is now of unusual strength, has been countermanded by order of his Royaliiighness the Commander-in- Chief. It is understood that the new barrack works con templated in Colchester will be almost immediately contracted for, the item in the army estimates for this service having received the sanction of the House of Commons. No such extensive accommo dation as was at one time contemplated is, however, likely to be carried out, and for the present only substantial brick barracks for a strong body of cavalry will be erected. The Inverness-shire Highland Light Infantry, under the command of the Hon. S. Fraser, were in spected on Tuesday by Lord F.

He added that of 28 regiments of militia which he had this year inspected, the target practice of the Inver ness-shire llighlanders showed the highest figure of merit. portance to the world, above all to Great Britain, of aiding in the reconstitution of a people whose ruin, a flagrant outrage of all laws human and divine, has produced so profound a perturbation in the moral and material condition of Europe. My coun try—l say it with pride—has been in its secular existence as an independent state always useful and never noxious to Europe. It has defended Chris tianity against the invasion of barbarism, and it has carried the Gospel among Pagan nations. The spirit of charity, not conquest, has ever guided it. Partition and dismembered even, Poland has still been to Europe a faithful ally. Her torn and pal pitating members have still formed an obstacle to intriguing ambition and combinations dangerous to the liberty of the world. Useful to others in the time of her prosperity, ever devoted even in the time of her misery, Poland will for the first time cause damage to Europe on the day that she shall fall. But on the eve of that day the civilised world must lose all notions of justice, and every feeling for its own safety and independence.—l have the honour to be, my lords and gentlemen, &c. "A.

The nomination took place yesterday in presence of an immense concourse of persons, and such a scene of excitement was visible throughout the pro ceedings as has never before been witnessed at an election for this borough. The hustings were erected in St. James's-square, and there the respective can didates arrived at intervals between half-past 10 and 11 o'clock. Mr. Staveley Hill was the first to make his appearance, accompanied by Capt. Thor neycroft and others of bis principal supporters ; Mr. Wbgaelin followed, escorted by many of the most influential Liberals who have hitherto taken an active part in the elections for the borough. Mr. Griffiths came last, in a carriage drawn by a pair of gray horses. He was followed by an immense crowd, chiefly the operatives in the locality, and was received with so many sounds of applause as to leave no doubt that, so far as the sweet voices of the million go, Mr, Griffiths is by long odds the popular candidate. The usual preliminaries having been gone through The MAYOR (Mr. C. Clarke) stepped to the front of the hustings and bespoke a fair hearing for all. Mr. G. WALKER, solicitor, proposed Mr. Samuel Griffiths as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament. His nominee, he said, was a townsman and well acquainted with the trade of the district. He was, moreover, attached to the principles of free trade, was a friend of progress, and a stanch Liberal Reformer. Mr. Griffiths was extensively engaged in the iron trade, a large em ployer of labour, and a friend of the labouring man. Mr. HANCOX., of Bilston, seconded the nomina tion, but scarcely a couple of sentences he uttered were audible. Capt. THORNEYCROFT next came forward to no minate Mr. S. Hill, the candidate in the Liberal Conservative interest. He was received with a storm of hisses, yelling, and groaning, which prevented his being heard for nearly a quarter of an hour. In the few sentences which were audible the gallant captain was understood to claim for his party as much of real liberalism as existed on the other side. The Conservatives had, he said, brought in a Reform Bill, but the Liberals threw the Government out and the bill as well, and had not yet fulfilled their promise to carry a better measure through Parlia ment. With respect to the extension of the fran chise, he thought the time would arrive when the suffrage would have to be considerably extended. He concluded amidst continued uproar by formally nominating Mr. Hill. Mr. C. BAGNALL, a gentleman connected with the iron trade, seconded the nomination, but very little he said was heard. Mr. G. BARKER, ironmaster, in rising to nomi nate Mr. Weguelin, was received with immense up roar ; for many minutes he stood vainly endeavour ing to obtain a hearing. He was understood to say that, having on a former occasion nominated a gen tleman who had recently been appointed Lord Chan cellor, he had now no less pleasure in nominating Mr. Weguelin, who, he had no doubt, would serve the constituency as truly and as faithfully as their late member. Mr. J. C. BARLOW, of Bilston, seconded the nomi nation, and in doing so encountered strong expres sions of disapprobation. Mr. GRIFFITHS was received with immense cheering, which lasted several minutes. He com menced by an allusion to placards of a personal cha racter which had been issued in the course of the last few days, which, as far as they related to him self, he declared to be " gross calumnies." He next alluded to the operations of the Bank of England in 1857, chiefly with the view to show that a great amount of distress might have been averted had the directors induced the Government to suspend the Bank charter 14 days earlier than they did. Re ferring to his own creed, he avowed himself a Methodist, but a friend to the Established Church ; he would, however, he said, support any measure for the abolition of church rates. He declared himself in favour of the ballot, and for the repeal of the in come tax, chiefly on the ground of the objectionable mode of levying and assessing the tax. He was in favour of electoral districts; also an extension of the franchise to £6 householders •, be con demned the circumstances under which Mr. Wegue lin had been brought forward, and insisted that the time had come when this party-clique ought to be put an end to in Wolverhampton. Mr. Griffiths discoursed at great length on the foreign policy of the Government ; the course which had been adopted by Lord Palmerston he approved, as one of free trade and non-intervention. Mr. Griffiths retired amid enthusiastic cheering. • Mr. HILL next addressed the electors. He based his claims on his knowledge of the trade of the town and of local interests generally, which, if elected, would have his unremitted attention. He con demned the circumstances under which Mr. Weguelin had been brought forward by a party, and alluded to his unfitness to represent the borough from his ignorance of the various trades carried on in the locality. Mr. Hill declared himself opposed to the ballot, believing there was no necessity for it, but if elected, and it was made clear to him that there were cases of intimidation, he would vote for measures to prevent it. As to an extension of the franchise, he said that he was in favour of an ad justment so far as related to a lodger franchise, and would supply all other accidental omissions of the last Reform Bill. If elected, he would do his duty, he said, by all classes. Mr. Hill obtained a hearing with much difficulty, the marks of disapprobation interrupting his speech throughout. Mr. WEGUELIN, on attempting to speak, was re ceived with a renewed torrent of hisses and groaning. When he did obtain a partial hearing (after the Mayor and Mr. Griffiths had urged the crowd to silence), he alluded to his long and intimate ac quaintance with commercial concerns generally, and contended that the circumstance of his not being a native of Wolverhampton was no disqualification as a candidate to represent the borough in Parlia ment. He was in favour (he said) of a reduction of the national expenditure, but would not go to the extent of Mr. Griffiths in respect of the repeal of the income-tax; at the same time, he reminded the working men that a repeal of the income-tax would be followed by an addition to the duties on tobacco, tea, and many other articles. He avowed himself in favour of the total abolition of Church-rates ; also of an extension of the suf frage to the extent of £6 rating to the poor. Mr. Weguelin proceeded amid continued interrup tion to explain his views in reference to politi:ial questions. To electoral districts he declared him self opposed ; wherever intimidation or corrupt in fluence could be proved to exist, the constituency so affected had a right to demand the ballot. When Mr. Weguelin retired, the MAYOR pro ceeded to take the show of hands, first, for Mr.. Griffiths, and fully five-sixths of the assemblyhis m, front of the hustings held up the ir hands in fa vour. For Mr. Hill not mo re than 200 or 300 hands were shown ; for Mr. Weguelin the number was about the same ; there u p on the Ma y or declared the show of hands to be in favour of Mr. Griffiths. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Hill and take p Mr. Weguelin ; this w ill ta lace on this (Tues day) morning. The proceedings occ u p ied u p wards of four hours ; at the conclusion t h e crowd began to separate quietly. Mr. -Weguelin's friends declare themselves confi dent of his election. TEE LITERARY ASSOCIATION OF THE FRIENDS OF POLAND. The following is the address to the Venerable Prince Adam Czartoryski adopted at the recent annual meeting of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, with the Prince's reply : TO HIS HIGHNESS PRINCE ADAM CZARTORYSKI. Prince,—We, the undersigned president, vice president, members of the council, and other mem bers of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, desire to express to your countrymen, through you, their revered representative and chief, our admiration of their great self-control, fortitude, and courage, under the most trying provocations, during the late events at Warsaw. We rejoice to recognise in these civic virtues, and in the perfect peace and order which prevailed during the self-government which they extempo rised in a crisis of panic, and were permitted to exercise for too brief a period, how entirely the Poles are worthy of that national existence which is the object of their aspirations, and of which a great crime deprived them. During the last 30 years we have never despaired of the ultimate triumph of justice in Poland, but we now feel more than ever assured of it, when we see how completely the national intelligence and the national spirit have survived and overcome all the efforts of a long-continued system of coercion and oppression to degrade and extinguish them. We further rejoice to see how persecution and cala mity, suffered in common, and insidious endeavours, repeatedly made to sow dissension between pro prietor and peasant, have only served to unite all classes and religious persuasions, Roman Catholics, Protestants, and Jews, in one harmonious brother- hood of devotion to their native land. We at the same time consider it our duty to re cord in this address our protest against the lawless and inhuman policy of the Russian Government in marshalling organised troops in battle array against an - unarmed and inoffensive crowd, and deliberately perpetrating the slaughter of men, women, and children, without having been provoked by any act of violence or disorder, and with no other apparent purpose than that of stifling the voice of peaceable remonstrance and appeal to the equity of the Sove reign, and of crushing hopes founded on recent promises of improvements never fulfilled. We also consider it our duty to record our pro test against the policy, as unwise as it is unworthy, of withholding from Poland institutions guaranteed by treaties, and due alike to the historical renown and present charaCter of her people, a policy which outrages every national feeling, creates a state of permanent moral insurrection, degrades the govern ing power, and keeps up a constant source of weak ness and apprehension to Russia herself, as well as of disturbance and danger to the order and peace of other countries. Whilst thus protesting against Russian misrule, we feel that our remonstrances are, in a great mea sure, applicable also to the Governments of Austria and Prussia, which have but too much disregarded the conditions upon which they were permitted by the other European Powers to retain their several portions of the spoil of ancient Poland ; and we cannot but express an earnest hope that those Go vernments, if the partition of Poland is to be con tinued, will, now that they have established repre sentative institutions, henceforth honestly discharge the duties they contracted in 1815 towards Europe and their Polish subjects. We are firmly convinced, however, that the resto ration of Poland to that unity and independence which are her just and rightful inheritance, would not only be reparation of a great crime, but would be most highly conducive to the reign of peace is Europe, and the safety, honour, and welfare of the partitioning Powers themselves. We believe, Prince, that in this address we re present the general feeling of the British nation with regard to Poland, and we conclude with the earnest wish that the same Providence which has already prolonged your valuable life beyond the ordinary term of mortality may still preserve you to witness the returning dawn of a wiser and more righteous policy, and better days for the freedom and prosperity of your country. We have the honour to be, Prince, your High ness's most obedient and humble servants. TOWNSHEND, President. HARROWBY, SANDON, FORTESCUE, TALBOT DE MALAHIDE, SHAFTESBURY, HARRY VERNEY, HARRINGTON, W.

" The trials of Poland have been lengthened and constant, lengthened and constant also has been the fidelity of her friends. My country knows, be lieve me, how to appreciate such feelings, and will mark them by her gratitude.
