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. Conrtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of surprise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous 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 range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
gratification on Mr. Courtenay's part, to have achieved the reputation
he 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 nrethra."—Medical Circular.

BOMBARDMENT OF SEBASTOPOL,

The public will have observed, that the despatch which
appeared in our paper of yesterday from General Simp-
son, dated the 9th inst., informing the Government that
on the following day he would resume the bombardment
of Sebastopol, completely confirmed the statement which
we were enabled to make on Monday last, to the effect
that that important operation was about to be imme-
diately resumed.
We are now in possession of positive information that
the General fulfilled his intention, and re-opened his fire
on the 10th.
A. despatch from General Pelissier was received last
night, by the French Government, dated, Crimea, Wed-
nesday, July 11, at half-past one in the afternoon. The
French Commander-in-Chief says, that so brisk a fire
had been maintained against the Redan, by the English,
that on that morning (yesterday) the Russian batteries
were silenced, and that, in consequence, the English are
now enabled to push forward their. approaches still closer
to the place.
It is, perhaps, superfluous to add, that the near ap-
proach of the works of the besiegers to the defences of
the enemy is the immediate precursor of a sew, and, we
trust, a successful, assault. —Morning Post.

FATAL QUARREL ON BOARD AN AMERICAN SHIP AT
BALAKL&VA.-By a letter just received from Balaklava,
of the 26th ult., we learn that a tragedy, attended with
fatal results, has occurred on board the American ship
Arlington. One of the men, in an altercation with the
mate, struck him, when the latter armed himself with a
pistol, and discharged its contents into the chest of the
unfortunate man. This arbitrary and wanton abuse of
power occurred at an anchorage where there was more
than fifty 441,1 to render assistance ill case of ;mutiny,
London, England, 1855-07-12

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Courrier de Marseille publishes the follow-
ing letter from Constantinople, received by the last
mail :

" The Turkish army of Roume]ia, which had been
concentrated between Silistria and Rustchuk, has
moved towards the Dobrudscha, which is the only point
by which the enemy might attempt an invasion,
Austria being still bound to protect the Principalities.
On the 12th of June, from three to four thousand men
arrived at Tonitcha, under the command of Hassan and
Saly Pachas, and immediately began to fortify that place
as well as Issaktcha. Between the latter place and
Matchin, there are from 12,000 to •15,000 infantry
and cavalry stationed, with 32 pieces of artillery, and
on the river a steam-boat and three gun-boats. These
tire said to be very good troops, but the same praise
cannot be given to the five or six pachas who command
them, and who do not inspire much confidence from
their military talents. On the evening of the 17th a
report was current at Galatz that the Russian flotilla
had bombarded the points where the Turks were throw-
ing up fortifications, but-this rumour requires confirma-
tion. The greater part of the Austrian troops quartered
at Bucharest, Jassy, and other points of the Principali-
ties, have evacuated them, and retired towards Gallicia,
which will be henceforth the basis of the operations of
that army. The Austrian general who commands the
garrison at Galatz, after having made a tour of inspection
on the borders of the Pruth, has retired to Ibrail. There
is every reason to believe that the Russians wish to make
a diversion in the Dobrudscha, now that the attitude of
Prussia and Austria allows them to dispose, without
hesitation or dread, of the greater part of their forces.

GERMANY.

The German Journal of Frankfort states that
Prince Menschikoff, the ex-Commander of Sebas-
topol, is expected at Berlin on his way to one of
the bathing places on the banks of the Rhine.
A letter from Berlin, of the 7th, in the Debats,
says :

"We are assured that, in reply to the last Austrian
circular, that of the 28th June, several German Govern-
ments have declared that, under existing circumstances,
they see no necessity for maintaining their troops on a
war footing, and that they are determined to disarm
completely. The King's physicians have earnestly re-
commended his Majesty to proceed as promptly as pos-
sible into Silesia to enjoy the fine air of the mountains.
The King has, consequently, decided that he will leave
next week for the Chateau of Erdmannsdorff."

A letter from Berlin of the 6th, in the Indepen
dance Beige, says :

"The arrest of M. Fischer, the Minister and Cabitiet-
Councillor of Lippe, which has taken place at Cobourg,
on the ground of serious offences towards the Duke of
Saxe•Gotha and his Ministers, in the question of the
nobles and the constitt.tion, is the great topic of conver-
sation here. M. Fischer, who some years ago under-
took to sell the German fleet by auction, is by no means
popular here. Moreover, he sided with the nobles against
the Duke of Saxe-Gotha in a dispute which did not in
the least concern him. It is to he presumed that this
prosecution for high treason of a novel kind will not be
too much criticised by the Liberal party."

RUSSIA.

-- -
The Archangel Gazette, under date of the 3cl
(15th) June, announces the arrival at that port of a
number of vessels from the Dwina. In the month.
of May, 13 foreign vessels entered. Archangel, five
of which were Norwegian, seven from Bremen, an. d
one from the United States of America. Vessel
were continually arriving by the North Dwina.
A letter, dated from St. Petersburg, says :

"People here expect that the Allies will make an
attack upon Nicolaieff, in the government of Cherson,
This town is in some respects more important than
Sebastopol. The latter is simply a fortress for the pro-
tection of the Russian navy in the Black Sea ; but
Nicolaieff is its cradle. Here are the great docks where
the ships are built, here is the scat of the Admiralty,
here lie immense stores of timber and other materials
for ship-building, which it has taken years to accumulate.
If the Allies succeed in destroying these st ores and
the grand orga.niEation of this place they would obtain
a more material guarantee that the Russians would not
increase their navy for the next ten years than by
the fall of Sebastopol. It is true, tlae Allies
would have emidemble difficulties to overcome,
as defences of ovcry description have been thrown

GERMANY.

The German Journal of Frankfort states that
Prince Menschikoff, the ex-Commander of Sebas-
topol, is expected at Berlin on his way to one of
the bathing places on the banks of the Rhine.
A letter from Berlin, of the 7th, in the Debuts,
says :

" We are assured that, in reply to the last Austrian
circular, that of the 28th June, several German Govern-
ments have declared that, under existing circumstances,
they see no necessity'for maintaining their troops on a
war footing, and that they are determined to disarm
completely. The King's physicians have earnestly re-
commended his Majesty to proceed as promptly as pos-
sible into Silesia to enjoy the fine air of the mountains.
The King has, consequently, decided that he will leave
next week for the Chateau of Erdmannsdorff."

-
A letter from Berlin of the Gth, in the Indepen-
dance Beige, says :
"The arrest of M. Fischer, the Minister and Cabinet-
Councillor of Lippe, which has taken place at Cobourg,
on the ground of serious offences towards the Duke of
Saxe-Gotha and his Ministers, in the question of ihe
nobles and the constitt.tion, is the great topic of conver-
sation here. M. Fischer, who some years ago under-
took to sell the German fleet by auction, is by no means
popular here. Moreover, he sided with the nobles against
the Duke of Saxe-Gotha in a dispute which did not in
the least concern him. It is to be presumed that this
prosecution for high treason of a novel kind will not be
too much criticised by the Liberal party."

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Last evening Miss Helen Faucit commenced a limited
engagement here, when she appeared as Pauline in
Bulwer's beautiful play of The Lady of Lyons. Miss
Faucit's rendering of the pars Pauline is too well
known to need a detailed notice ; suffice it to say it was
as beautiful and truthful as ever, and the repeated bursts
of applause testified to the success of her exertions and
to the warmth of the audience, who listened to her with
breathless attention. Mr. B. Sullivan appeared as
Claude, and acquitted himself with his usual excellence.
Mr. Buckstone does not relax his exertions to provide
attractive entertainments 'for his patrons, and, unlike
some of his predecessors, be wisely avoids what are
technically called " off nights." The house was fully
and fashionably attended.
London, England, 1855-05-29

ASTLEY S AMPHITHEATRE.

The boxes, pit, and gallery of Astley's Amphitheatre
last evening were in every way 'worthy of boxing
night, and although the southern 'side of the water
abounds with entertainments of z,.11 sorts and de-
scriptions, the lion's' share of patronage still falls
to " the Royal Amphitheatre." Mr. William Cooke
celebrated the festival by the production of a new three-
act drama, entitled England and Fnznce in the Days of
Chivalry. The entente cordiale has already done him
good service, but he has not exhausted the subject yet,
and he now takes us back to the old times of t!)e Field of
the cloth of Gold, when the mome etary shake of the
hands exchanged between Francis L and Henry VIII.
foram,' a pleasant epi-ode in a troublous period.
Mr. Stocqueler, who has contrnct,d the piece,
has introduced the more showy iuciden's by a story
of two young English chevaliers, ,who are such faith-
ful "brothers in arms" tbs.., thoul rb, they are both in
love with the same lady, they see m to like each other
all the more on that account, the rejected one assisting
the favoured one in rescuing the lad'' from a third party
—one of those decidedly wicked persons who are bated
by everybody, especially a.virtuons audience. Into this
tale several effective scenes are ingeniously interwoven,
and the tournament that takes plan e in the presence of
the two kings, and the storming of the bad man's castle,
are represented with a.force:Unkno%vii to former times.
The spectacle was eminetitlsr succes:3f ul.
Into the amusements of the ring a u ew feat has been in-
troduced. Messrs. J. Cooke and Bi.dges, standing face
to face on two horses, one of which follows the other,
assume the character of jugglers, and in this capacity go
through a series of feats with balls and balanced basins,
which they fling and catch with renus.rkable precision.
London, England, 1855-05-29

THE MILITIA.

The 2d Regiment, at Leamington, now numbers 730
men. Recruiting is actively proceeding, and, although
the volunteers enrolled have not been numerous, they
have fully realised the expections formed in that respect
by the military authorities.
The East Laccashire Militia arrived in Birmingham
on Thursday, and remained during the night. On Friday
morning they left fir the camp atAldersbott-heath. It
is stated that the regiment has volunteered for foreign
service, and will probably be stationed at Gibraltar.
Colonel the Hon. E. R. Littleton, M.P., commanding
the 21 Staffordshire Militia, having just returned to
England from the Mediterranean, has wsumed his posi-
tion at the head of his regiment.
The Royal Glamorgan Light Infantry Rgiment was
inspected on Thursday, May 24, by Col. Sir J. Cloete,
C. 8., inspecting field officer of the South \Vales dis-
trict, at Cardiff. After the usual field evolutions, the
inspecting officer visited the orderly-room, stores, and
hospital, and expressed his unqualified approbation of
every department connected with the regiment. Sir J.
Cloete highly commended the officers, non-commissioned
officers, and men, both as to their efficiency in the field
and cotoluw.. in quarters, and remarked that it wa, oi,st
creditable to the corps not to have had one court-martial
since its embodiment.

less. The court-martial which sat on the command-
ing officer seem to have been fully convinced that
the Diana struck on a rock not laid down on the
charts, and honourably acquitted him of all blame.
On Saturday last Prince Menschikoff arrived in
this city by the railroad from Moscow, and the next
day had an audience of the Emperor.
In the present dearth of soldiers, which is begin-
ning to be most sensibly felt, the Emperor has
favourably listened to a proposal made by the Go-
vernor-General of Caucasus for embodying the irre-
gular corps of Tartars and Bobyles, inhabiting the
provinces of Orenburg, Samara, Wiatka, and Perm.
Count Peroffsky is empowered to organise and em-
body the nomadic hordes of the Bashkirs and
Tartars of the Steppes into regular military colo-
nies, giving each family thirty dessatines of land
belonging to the domains of the crown.
Another party, consisting oflB sisters of charity,
left this yesterday by the railroad to Moscow, en
route for the Crimea, where they have volunteered
their services as nurses on the sick and wounded
in the hospitals. There are already 96 of these
ladies in the Crimea, no less than 65 of whom are
at Sebastopol alone.
The Czar Alexander has- caused the namplil&L
entitled " The last Hours and Dying Words of
the Emperor Nicholas" to be translated into seve-
ral Oriental languages, and printed at the Govern-
ment press.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 25th, in the Post-
Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, says :—" Some non-
official indications ha-re been given which allow
a judgment to be formed of the answer which will
be given by Prussia to the Russian note com-
municated by Glenka. Prussia will declare
that slie accepts with satisfaction the offer of Rus-
sia to completely guarantee the first two points
which the Germanic Diet declared by its resolution
of 9th Dec. last, more especially interested Germany,
b'it that she cannot pledge herself to observe an abso-
lute and unconditional neutrality as the obliga-
tions imposed on her by the Federal laws and
by her treaty with Austria will not allow her
to do so. It is known that Austria has given
the Western Powers reason to hope that she
will shortly take an active co operation in the
war, bat that she has demanded that a last at-
tempt shall first be made to bring about a peace.
In the new conferences, the discussion will be con-
fined to the last Austrian propositions, which
however do not appear to have the precise form
which have been attributed to them by the New
Prussian Gazette, and other non-official publica-
tions."

The Cassel Gazette says :—" On the occasion
of the fete of St. Boniface (June 5), which is
to be held at Mentz, the Cardinal Archbishop
Prince de Schwartzenberg has convoked all the
German Bishops, to assemble in that place for
tbe first three weeks of that month. At this meet-
ing, the pending questions concerning the relations
of the Getman Episcopacy with the public autho-
rities will be discussed."

PIEDMONT.

A serious disturbance occurred at Vigevano,
Piedmont, on the 20th, occasioned by a procession
in honour of the Immaculate Conception, which
was received with disapprobation by a large portion
of the population. To groans and hisses succeeded
missiles of the softer kind, whereupon the members
of the procession, who had been informed of the
intended demonstral ion, drew heavy bludgeons
from under their hooded robes, and set upon
the assailants. The latter entrenched themselves
in the cafe Gioberti, but were dislodged, and all
the furniture of the coffee-house was destroyed. In
the mean time a party of soldiers arrived ; some
arrests were made, and order restored. In the
evening the anti-processionists attempted to
revenge themselves by breaking the windows of
the bishop's palace and seminary, but the public
force was on the alert, and no further mischief
occurred.

FATAL AND ALARMING RAILWAY

ACCIDE NTS.

It is our painful duty to ,record the three following
railway accidents, which have unfortunately terminate)
in the loss of one life, and the serious, if not fatal, injery
of five others.
The first occurred on Saturday to a labourer named
Brown, while engaged on the works of the Maidstone
and Strood Railway. Brown was digging under an em-
bankment, when a large quantity of earth fell in upon
him. There was a waggon standing near, which pre-
vented his escaping. and the earth nearly covered him as
he stood. Assistance was promptly rendered, and on his
being extricated it was found that his thigh was frac-
tured, as was also the left leg below the knee. He is now
doing well. Another man, named Price, was also so
dreadfully injured as to leave very slight hopes of his
recovery.
As the express train down from London was within a
short distance'of the Ashford station, on the South-East-
ern Railway, the stoker, Wm. Turner, aged 23, was on
the summit of the tender for some purpose or another,
and the train at that moment being within a few yards
of the Chart-Lea,con Railway-bridge, in passing under-
nea'h, Turner', head cave in collision with the archway,
which severely cut it, but did not knock him off the en-
gine. He was taken to the Victoria Hotel in an insen-
sible state, where he died shortly after. The dedea.sed
was a very steady young man, just on the point of mar-
riage, all the preparations hating been made for that
purpose. He had been but two or three weeks em-
ployed as an engine stoker.
A dreadful' accident occurred to a man named Coul-
ter on the Maidstone and Strood Railway, which it is
feared will terminate fatally. Coulter was engage') with
two other men in blasting rock, and in striking the sp n-
dle used for boring a spark must have ignited the pow-
der at the bottom of the hole, which caused a fear ful
explosion. Coulteir's head was nearly blown to pieces,
there being scarcely a 'Vestige of the f-atures left remain-
ing. He had several times been cautioned. The two
men near him were also severely injured, butt are now
doing well.

flourishing town, now fortifying themselves in some
island-hold, where they could bid defiance to a world in
arms against them, form the subject of a norrative rich

'HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Last evening Miss Helen Fauoit commenced a limited
engagement here, when she appeared as Pauline in
Bulwer's beautiful play of The Lady of Lyons. Miss
Faucit's rendering of the part Pauline is too well
known to need a detailed notice ; suffice it to say it was
as beautiful and truthful as ever, and the repeated biirstl
of applause testified to the success of her exertions' and
to the warmth of the audience, who listened to her with
breathless attention. Mr. B. Sullivan appeared as
Claude, and acquitted himself with his usual excellence.
Mr. Bucks;tone does not relax his exertions to provide

ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.

The boxes, pit, and gallery of Astley'sAmphitheatre
last evening were in every way worthy of boxing
night, and although the southern side of the water
abounds with entertainments of all sorts and de-
scriptions, the lion's share of patronage still falls
to " the Royal Amphitheatre." Mr. William Cooke
celebrated the festival by the production of a new three-
act drama, entitled England and France in the Days of
Chivalry. The entente cordiale has already done him
good service, but he has not exhausted the subject yet,
and he now takes us back to the old times of the Field of
the Cloth of Gold, when the momentary shake of the
bands exchanged between Francis I. and IL/1u VIII
formed a pleasant episode in a troublous period.
Mr. Stocqueler, who has constructed the piece,
has introduced the more showy inciden-:s by a story
of two young English chevaliers, who ara such faith-
ful "brothers in arms" that, though they are both in
love with the same lady, they seem to like each other
all the more on that account, the rejected one assisting
the favoured one in rescuing the lady from a third party
—one of those decidedly wicked persons who are bated
by everybody, especially a virtuous audience. Into this
tale several effective scenes are ingeniously interwoven,
and the tournament that takes plaUe in the presence of
the two kings, and the storming of the bad man's castle,
are represented with a force unknown to former times.
The spectacle was eminently successful.
Into the amusements of the ring a new feat has been in-
troduced. Messrs. J. Cooke and Bridges, standing face
to face on two horses, one of which follows the other,
assume the character of jugglers, and in this capacity go
through a series of feats with balls and balanced basins,
which they fling and catch with remarkable precision.

RUSSIA.

Sr. PETERSBURG, May 18.—The short period
that elapsed last year between the withdrawal of the
Baltic fleet and the setting in of the winter was
made use of by the Russians for effecting several
changes in the stations of their naval forces. Thus
five line-of-battle ships that had been stationed at
Sweaborg were removed before the frost to Cron.
stadt, and a large part of the gun-boats sent from
S weaborg to Rotshensalm. It was during this ma-
nceuvre that an accident happened, occasioning the
total loss of a war steamer, which has only now be-
come generally known from the result of the court.'
martial being published in'the _Naval Journal. It
appears that on the 30th of October last year the
two steam corvettes Diana and Lwizza (Lioness)
left Sweaborg for Rotshensalm, having in tow the
gun-boats of the first brigade of the rowing flotilla.
Two hours after their departure, whilst off the
island of Groscher, the Diana struck with such
violence on a sunken rock that she immediately
filled, and went down in deep water in less than
ten minutes. The officers awl crew had just time
to save their lives and take with them the books
and papers of the steamer. All attempts to find
the spot where sh© sunk have hitherto proved fruit-
