TRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.
By F B. COURrENAY,
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 yesrs has equal!' d, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
meter of sur, rse that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most fiextereus and skilful manipu ator with urethral instruments;
and .'hen it is remembered that the lamented Listen used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeab`a to them was the most difficult in the
whole rathze of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
uratification on Mr. our tenay's part to have achieved the reputation
he has in this res ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have
of his exper fence, we know of no man to whose care we would with.
g• err ter confidence' entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Medical Circa ar.

THE VALUE OF INDIAN PATRONAGE, —We hear a
great deal at times about monstrous patronage and mon-
strous emoluments in this country, but if we would view
them in full bloom we must turn our eyes to the East.
Our Indian empire is the soil whereon they flourish with
tropical luxuriance, and attain proportions truly won-
derful. Specimens are to be had any day for the look-
ing. Here is one. Mr. F. M. Sandes, Administrator-
General for the Presidency of Bengal, fatigued with
sacking rupees, has prayed for leave to resign his oner-
ous pst—and have has been readily given. The
nature of this office, as stated by the Indian newspapers,
almost surpasses credence—one journal asserting that it
sometimes inflicts on the incumbent the necessity of
fobbing a lakh—that is 10,0001.—in a month. However
that be, it is a mine of. gold. And who is the fortunate
youth who is to be inducted into it t A son of that in-
corruptible patriot, Sir James Weir Hogg—a barrister—
and, what we would call in England, a rising young
man. Who would not be the son of a director, a ,b4l-.

UNSUCCESSFUL ATTACK -BY THE RUSSIANS'

ON EUP AMR A..
Royal .Ejbert, off Sebastopol,
February 20, 1855.
Sir,—l have the honour to enctuse, for the information •
of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty,
copies of two letters which I have received from
Captain Hastings, of the Curacoa, Senior Officer at
Eupatoria, reporting an unsucc etisful attack made upon
that place, at daybreak, on the IPth inst., by a large Rus-
sian force of cavalry, artillery, an.ci infantry, and enclosing
a letter from Omer Pasha, expressing warm aclsnowleilg
ments for the ggeat services reirdrred— by' hir Majesty's.
ships CurecOa, Valorous, Furio as., and Viper, as well as
his Highness's thanks for the reinforcements of steamers
which I had sent to him on he.sa ing that the enemy was
still in force in his neighbourhood!
2. Captain Hastings appears toclave eonductEid his share
of the defence with his accustomed. zeal and ability, anate
have biien well and effectively seconded by Captains-Buckle
and Loring and Lieutenant Brock, and the officers, sea;
men, and marines of all her Ilajeisay's ships present on that
occasion.
3. Colonel Simmons, of the -Royal Engineers, -who., is:
attached to Omer Pasha's Staff;', estithates the attacking
force at .40,00 d of all arms, and b states that as many as
sixty guns, sumo of them. 32-po•naiders, played upon the
place at one time.
4. I understand that at nine o'clock the enemy's in-
fantry formed under the shelter ;of a wall, at 350 yard;
from the place, and advanced to :Pie attack, but were re-
pulsed With considerable los's. an,l soon afterwards retired,
leaving nearly two hundred dead ,on the nearest spot, and
removing the rest of their dead .from the more distant
parts of the field.
5. Omer Pasha's army appears, .:from the latest and most
authentic accounts, to have had, nearly a hundred men
killed and about two hundred an d fifty wounded, and to
have had eighty artillery horses. killed, and some' guns
much damaged. . . , ,
• 6.. The Banshee has brought nae a report from Captain
Hastings up -to noon yesterday, at which time the enemy
remained encamped about five mines from Eupatoria,' with
his left leaning on the Putrid LaWre Sasik ; whilst Omer
Pasha, with the garrison, having 'aeon reinforced after the
battleby`further Turkish troops, brought over from Varna
in British transports, as well as by the Dauntless, Curlew,
Arrow, and Lynx, sent by me from hence, and by two
French.steamers sent by Admiral Bruat, awaited an attack
with confidence in a favourable result„.7-. &c.,

Her Majesty's s'b ip Curacoa, Enpatoria,
Feb. 17, 1853.

Sir, - I have the honour to acctuaia your Excellency-,
that, this mornitig about 6'30 a.m..„ the Russians in consi-
derable force attacked the Turkish troops which are en-
camped at this place under the command of his Highness
Omer Packa.
The ships under my command a.t this anchorage, which
are named in the margin,* immediately proceeded under
steam to close the flanking position of the Turkish en-
trenchments—Valorous and Viper taking the left, flank,
and Curacoa and Furious the right- About half an hour
after the commencement of the attack, I received from his
Highness Omer Pacha, a request to strengthen as much as
possible the right flank, as the enemy were pressing their
attack upon that point.
The Viper was immediately recalled, and from her light
draught of water was enabled to effe+3t good service, as'also
the three other ships in their respective positions. '
The conduct of the captains, officers, seamen, And ma-
rines under my command on this occasion deserves your
Excellency's approbation.—l have, &e.,
(Signed) G. F. HASTINGS, Captain.

service in their respective positions which they took up.

Enclosure No. 2.
Her Majesty's Ship Caracas),
Eupatofia, February I#3; '1855.

Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of
your memorandum of yesterd:ay's date, relative to my re-
port of the Russians having attacked this place on the
17th inst., as communicated by the steam-transport Queen
of the South, and beg to inform you that the reinforce-
ment of vessels mentioned therein have duly arrived here;
'and that I immediately informed his -Highness Greer
Pasha.-of the reinforcement being sent to his support, who
begged me to offer to your Exchllency his warmest thanks.
In the late attack the Turks suffered a loss of 88 men
killed, 250 wounded, and 78 horses killed. The loss on the
part of the Russians cannot be ascertained.
No further attack has been made ; but the Russians
still remain in force about five miles from Eupatoria, and
large reinforcements, both of men and waggons, are daily
arriving, from the road to Simpheropol. If the Arrow's
services could be spared she would be of great assistance
here.—l have, &c.,

Enclosure No. 1.
Camp, Naval Brigade, Feb. 11, 1855.
Sir,—ln continuation of our proceedings, I have the ho-
nour to inform you that we have been employed this week
in carrying shot into the batteriest.. The enemy continues
augmenting his defences and firing on our working parties
during the day. Several ineffectual sorties have been
made on the French during the past vciaek.
• I have also been getting up slops and provisions, and
have a supply for seven days of the latter in our store
tents.
I have much pleasure in informing you of the healthy
state of the brigade, having only 41 in the sick list, no seri-
ous Cases, and victualling 998.
I have, &c.,

(Enclosure No. 2.)
Camp, Naval Brigade, Feb. 18.
Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that the enemy
still continues strengthening his works. I am happy to
say that there have been no casualties this week, and that
the brigade is remarkably healthy. We have only 27 men
in the sick list, victualling 999 men and officers. All
symptoms of scurvy have disappeared ; and I am informed
by the, medical officer in charge that be considers this as
principally owing to the liberal supply of oranges issued to
the brigade.—l have, &c.,
(Signed) S. LITSHINGTON,
Captain, Commanding Naval Brigade.

G.C.B,

Royal Albert, off Sebastopol, Feb. 24.
have the honour to report, for the information of
the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that no attack
has taken place at Eupatoria since that of the 17th inst.,
which, as their lordships will perceive by the enclosed copy
of a letter from Colonel Simmons to me, was more serious
than was at first supposed. Her Majesty's ships are in eli-
gible position for assisting in the repulse of any future at.
tack. The weather, which for the last few days has been
very severe, is now remarkably fine.
I am,
&c.,

(Enclosure No. 1.)
Eupatoria, Feb. 20, 1855, 9 p.m.
Sir,—The bearer is an aide-de-camp of the Seraskier,
bearing despatches from Omer Pasha to his Government.
His Highness would bo • much ,obliged to you if you
would kindly order him a passage to Constantinople by
the first opportunity.
The position is much stronger here than it was ; in fact,
I should say doubly so, and nearly twice as many guns
mounted as on the 17th.
That affair was pretty sharp, and the Russians lost a
great many men : we have interred 453, and there can be
no doubt they carried off and buried many more who were
killed at long ranges by our artillery.
They also left nearly 300 dead horses on the field.
Our loss was 87 killed, 277 wounded, Turks ; 4 killed
and 9 wounded, French ; and 13 killed, 11 wounded, of
the population ; besides 79 horses killed and 18-wounded.
Our field battery had 19 men (Turks) killed, and every-gun
(six) disabled.
The Turks behaved very well. Selim Pasha, the Egyp.
tian, who was killed, was a great loss, but his place is well
supplied by Suliman Pasha, who was wounded. -
Omer Pasha wns most gratified for the promptitnd, with
y. bearing attac, :I"lleaer:.iulis vi ,
,t,. i.ad 111011 of your &set in disembark-
s ing troops, &e., here are beyond all praise ; but, tudertu.
