STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.

By F. B. COURTENAY,

Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

"We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience inthe treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of any of h:s contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of suriirise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most ilexterous and skilful manipulator with urethral instruments :
and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the
whole roue. of surgical operations, it must he no slight source of
i7atification on Mr. Courtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation
tie has in this respect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with
greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

ROYAL LYCEUM THEATRE,

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEM7NT.
WINTER SEASON, 1855%

THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE` NORTH
laegs most respectfully to announce that this favou7ite place
of amusement will OPEN on MON')AY, Sept. 31, under new au-
spices, and with a series of Extraordinary Performances. As every-
thing the Wizard lays his hand on necessarily undergoes some
startling charge, the Lyceum Theatre will, by a wave of his Maio
Wand, be instantly transformed into the Wizard's Psycemantheum :
while the class of Entertainment: presented within its walls will be
as unlike.nnythhag that has been seen before as it is possible to con-
ceive. Preparations have been in progress for many months past to
pro,luce the .:e Entertainments on a scale of r :aptitude and excellence
worthy of the Wizard's fame and posularity. Hie assistant spirits
have been ordered to,spare no expense in the compounding of their
spells ; anti the result it is hoped will be an Entertainment which,
for." startling effects," will far outstrip the wildest French melo-
drama ; with "rapid changes," more surprising than an actor's play-
ing twenty parts, in twenty different dresses.; with tricks more
wonderful than those of an adulterating tradesman: and " trans-
fon-nations" which would make the alchemists of old expire with
envy.
PROFESSOR ANDERSON (the Great Wizard of the North) having
cernrleted the entire circuit of the globe, and visited almost every
part of Ettniap, Am -ilea, India, and Australia, attended everywhere
with a degree of success unexampled, he believes, in the career of
any individual aseirieg to the titles of a cosmepolitan artiste, will give
his extraordinary DELASSEMENS MAC IQUES in the above
Theatre for a limited petlol, ereparatory to his final retirement
from punlie life. No exertion will be spared on his part to secure
the continuance of the public favour which lie has hitherto enjoyed
wherever be has presented himself. On the Continent. from. t
Petersbu7g, to Madrid; in America, from Canada to Me'ico, and'
from New York t i San Francisco; everywhere, in short. have the
Wizard's marvels succeeded most effectually in " estonishing the
natives" of the various countries visited. Ills performances have
been prtroni,ed aeliences amounting in the ng,regate to very
many millions ; and he is the only British l'rofessor of his art
who, in a,l,iition to having been honoured by all the Courts of
Earono, ills also been commanded to perform before her Majesty
the QUEEN.
Without attempting to exalt the Professor's art beyond its due
deserts, let it suffice to say it is his art. He has devoted h mself
for ye er's to the perfecting It, and rend-ring it more fitted to amuse
and entertain the public. That he has been successful in his of
he thinks, from what he has said, is pretty certain ; indeed a life-
time spent in diligent pursuit of excellence in any art, whatever it
may be, can scarc,ly fail in producing some degree of efficiency.
It is the result of this long study that will be presented at the
Lyceum Theatre. Feats in Modern Mazie hi'herto unattempted will
be exhibited by the rid of apparatus outrivalling any that has been
previously constructed.
Another feature in Professor Anderson's Dela.semens Magiques
will be a complete disclosure of sonic of the principal impostures of
the ace, with illustrations of the mechanism, mystery, and mischief
of Spirit-rapping, Table-turning, Clairvoyance, and other delusions,
to be cia..ed generally under the now popular head of the " sell "
theory. In the Wizard's performances there will be found mirth,
fir those who seek merriment.; mystery, for those wlto fancy the
mysterious ; paraem es, for the lovers of the paradoxical ; wonders,
for tar se who like the wonderful; startling surprise., 'or those eager
for excitement. There will be science tor the sage, wisdom for the
philosopher, art for the artistic, and cheerfulness for all. It will be
the Professor's object. in fact, to produce a play each night in which
the audience themselves shall be the actors, and which, whatever
the plot may be, shall certainly be free from the fault of many mo-
dern dramas—the fault of lacking incident or exciting situations and
unexpected dCmouemens.
Such will be the general character of the Wizard's Banquet of
Wonders. It will be an ordinary to which he will welcome all.
The bill of fare will shortly be published in the programme now
preparing; mid Professor Anderson, the carver of the feast, will
spare no etib-t to please the taste of every guest who may honour
his table with his presence—cutting it fat or lean as each may wish.
The Royal Lyceum Theatre will he opened by the Wizard of the
North, as his Psy-cornantheum, on MONDAY, SeMember

MR. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
, street, has introluded an entirely new description of ARTI-
FIr7TAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of rosts, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At
hOme from ten till five.

THREE GALLANT SOM.—Lieut.-General the Hon. H.l
E. Butler is about to erect a handsome mural tablet in
Thomaatown Church, county Kilkenny, to the memory
of his three gallant sons, Capt. H. T. Butler (55th Regt )
and Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General, who was killed
Inkermann ; Capt. Charles G. Butler (86th Regt.), who
served in Scinde, and,who died of fever at Bombay in
December last ; and to Capt. James Armar Butler, of
the Ceylon Rifles, killed at Silistria, whose intrepid
'daring in the successful defence of that fortress bas been
the theme of universal admiration. The tablet, just
completed, by •Gaffin, the sculptor, of the Quadrant,
consists of slab of black marble, having a scroll of white
marble, on which are inscribed the names and services
of the sons of the gallant General. The whole is sur-
mounted by military trophies, in which the swords of
the three brothers are conspicuous objects. Within a
laurel wreath are the names of the several places at
which the gallant officers had distinguished themselves
—namely, China, Alma, Inkermann, Scinde, Kaffirland,
and Silistria► In the inscription to the young volunteer
at Silistria honourable mention is made of "his gallant
friend and brother officer," Major Nasmyth.
PEMBROKE ,DOCKYARD.—It is understood that, as soon
as the new huts are finished at Hobbs-point, Pembroke
dock, the fortified barracks on the heights will be vacated
by the Monmouthshire Militia, who will occupy a por-
tion of the wooden barracks, and, together with the
other regiments of militia to be there assembled, will do
the garrison duty. The fortified barracks are to be oc-
cupied by the Pembrokeshire Artillery Militia, which
corps will send out bodies of men to occupy the various
forts and posts now erected for the defence of the haven,
but stilled unmanned. The reliefs will be monthly, and
the several martello towers are to be fully and properly
garrisoned. The huts are progressing with the utmost
expedition, and will soon be ready for occupation.
Mme. Plessis will appear at the Francais in the early
part'of next month, in a new piece written for her debut,
by the peu of Scribe.
