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

By F. B. COURTESTAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Engllud.

" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty yesrs has equallt d, if, indeed, it hat not
surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
mater of sin rrise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous and skilful manipu ator 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 res .ect ; 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 Circu'ar.

Our Dublin correspondent writes
:—" The Adminis-
trative Reform movement i beginning to be appreciated
g have already taken
here. Several of the pop
up the question, and the' Irdoviee of the Cork Reporter
seems to be that which will be followed, namely, ' That
the true policy for Ireland, her paramount duty, is to
give her most strenuous aid to this great popular move-
ment in Great Britain. All other questions, however
apparently important to her, and however she is bent 011
their settlement, are really insignificant in comparison
with this.'"

has left all his fortune amounting to 100,000 scudi
(5,400,000 fr.), to the Banca de Misericordia, a charitable
establishment in that city.
The commercial accounts from New York yesterday
describe a tendency to improvement in the stock-mar-
ket, owing, in a great measure, to the advices from
England of the reduction in the Bank rate of discount
at the beginning of last month. The shipments of specie
and the delay in the receipts from California consequent
upon the San Francisco banking difficulties still operated
unfavourably, and but for these circumstances there
would apparently have been more buoyancy, the con-
traction of business being such as to reduce the de-
mand for money to a point much below the ordinary
supply. Illinois Central Bonds were at 76i, New York
Central at 92k, and Erie Railroad stock at 514. Ac-
cording to a circular of Messrs. Blake, Howe, and
Co., of Boston, the most flattering accounts are given of
the glowing crops in the West. Notice had been
published that the Crystal Palace at New York must be
cleared of all goods by the 30th of .Tune, and the owners
of imported articles were requested therefore to take
them a,way as soon as convenient, the Secretary of the
Treasury at Washington having meanwhile issued a
liberal letter of instructions for their passage at the
Castoni-house.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the sth, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" The news that Russia has ad-
dressed new propositions to Vienna, and that Aus-
tria has communicated them to the Western
Powers has not revived any hopes of peace. These
propositions will no doubt have the same fate as

those that preceded them ; Austria herself indeed
does not appear to believe that they will be ac-
cepted by the Western Powers. They arrived
here on the Ist, and were brought by Prin e Ser-
gius Galitzin. The cause of the postponement of
Baron Hess's departure for the army is to allow
Time for the reply of the 'Western Powers to the
Russian propositions to be known."
A letter from Vienna states that Riza Bey,
who was present at the Conferences before the ar-
rival of Ali Pacha, had left that city for Paris.
The Ambassador of Saxony in Vienna, M. de
Konneritz, gage a grand dinner in that city on the
4th, at which were present Prince Gortschakoff,
Count Arnim, and Prince G-alitzin.
It is stated in a Vienna letter of the sth that it
is intended to establish there a Discount Bank on
a large scale. The same letter states that the trade
in swine has become very considerable in Hungary;
in the course of the preceding week the agents of
two English houses bargained for the purchase of
10,000 pigs to be delivered in May, June, July
and August.

SWEDEN.

A letter from Stockholm, in the Assembles Na-
tionale, says :—" Several regiments of the Swedish
army have received orders to come here as soon as
they shall have concluded the exercises which they
go through every year in the month of May, in the
different military departments of Sweden. It ap-
pears to be the intention of the Swedish Govern-
ment to assemble a considerable force this summer,
and to form a camp in the neighbourhood of this
capital. In addition to the fitting out of several
vessels of war, the Swedish Government has just
ordered that a squadron of gun-boats shall be
armed, and placed under the command of Commo-
dore Prince Oscar, the second son of the King."
A letter from amburg, speaking of the expedi-
tion of English and French troops to the Baltic,
says "A colonel of the French staff lately passed
through this city on his way to Stockholm, via
Copenhagen. It was said that he was charged by
his Government to obtain from Sweden a point of
territory, favourable for the landing and provisional
encampment of an expeditionary corps of French
troops. If this concession cannot be obtained from.
the Swedish Government, it was added that Bomar-
sund and some of the adjacent islands would
be fixed on for the landing of the troops
and the general depot of warlike stores and
ammunition, and the French Government would in
that case construct fortified works on these islands,
to protect the troops from any coup de main that
might be attempted by the Russians."

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the sth, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—"The news that Russia has ad-
tressed new propositions to Vienna, and that Aus-
tria has communicated them to the Western
Powers has not revived any hopes iof peace. These
propositions will no doubt have the same fate as
those that preceded them ; Austria her,self indeed
isms not, appear to believe that they will be ac-
cepted by the Western Powers. They arrived
here on the Ist, and were brought by Prince Ser-
gius Galitzin. The cause of the postponement of
Baron Hess's departure for the army is to allow
ime for the reply of the Western Powers to the
Russian propositions to be known."
A letter from Vienna states that Riza Bey,
who was present at the Conferences before the ar-
rival of Ali Pacha, had left that city for Paris.
The Ambassador of Saxony in Vienna, M. de
Konneritz, gave.a grand dinner in that city on the
4th, at which were present Prince Gortschakoff,
Count Arnim, and Prince Galitzin.
It is stated in a Vienna letter of the sth that it•
is intended to establish there a Discount Bank on
a large scale. The same letter states that the trade
in swine has become very considerable in Hungary;
in the course of the preceding week the agents of
two English houses bargained for the purchase of
10,000 pigs to be delivered in May, June, July
and August.

SWEDEN.

A letter from Stockholm, in the Assemblee Na-
tionale, says :—" Several regiments of the Swedish
army have received orders to come here as soon as
they shall have concluded the exercises which they
go through every year in the month of May, in the
different military departments of Sweden. It ap-
pears to be the intention of the Swedish Govern-
ment to assemble a considerable force this summer, ,
and to form a camp in the neighbourhood of this
capital. In addition to the fitting out of several
vessels of war, the Swedish Government has just
ordered that a squadron of gun-boats shall be
armed, and placed under the command of Commo-
dore Prince Oscar, the second son of the King."
A letter from amburg, speaking of the expedi-
tion of English and French troops to the Baltic,
says A colonel of the French staff lately passed
through this city on his way to Stockholm, via
Copenhagen. It was "raid that he was charged by
his Government to obtain from Sweden a point of
territory, favourable for the landing and provisional
encampment of an expeditionary corps of French
troops. If this concession cannot be obtained from
the Swedish Government, it was added that Bomar-
sund and some of the adjacent islands would
be fixed on for the landing of the troops
and the general depot of warlike stores and
ammunition, and the French Government would in
that case construct fortified works on these islands,
to protect the troops from any coup de main that
might be attempted by the Russians."

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 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 sui prise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most dexterous and skilful manipn' ator 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. uourtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation
he has in this res .:ect ; 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.
