THREE GALLANT SONS.—Lieut.-General the Hon. H.
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
Inkerwann ; 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 Thaler, of
the Ceylon Rifles, killed at SiEstria, Whose intrepid
daring in the successful defence of that fortress has 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 sun
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 Nasmytb.
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 pen of Scribe.

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

By F. B. dOI7RTENAY,

Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Engl?:nd

" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty year's has equalled, if, indeed, it has not
surpass&, that of any of his contemporwies. 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 impermeab'e 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 urethra."—Medical Circular.
London, England, 1855-08-28

GUILDHALL.

AN ARTIST IN TROUBLE.—John Thompson, who de-
scribed himself as an artist, was placel at the bar
on remand before Sir Robert Carden, charged with steal-
ing a book from the stall of Mr. Dunn, bookseller, 120,
Fleet-street.

At the former examination the prisoner stated he was
an artist belonging to Newcastle-on-Tyne, where he
was well known, and that he was induCed to commit the
offence with which ho was charged from distress. He
had been in London about a month. When he arrived
in London he had but 10s. left, and he bad supported
himself the best way be could by disposing of his pro-
perty. He had occupied an unfurnished attic, for which
he paid 2s. a week, sleeping on the bare boardts.
Gayler, the detective officer, who apprehended the
prisoner, said he found the books on the prisoner, both
of which were supposed to have been stolen. He had
written to the sergeant of police at Newcastle, and re-
ceived an answer that the prisoner was unknown there.
The prisoner said he had a sister living there, and
that he refused to give her address, not wishing to dis-
grace his family.

Sir Robert Carden committed the prisoner for 21 days.

BOW-STREET.

Emily Legg was this morning placed at the bar in
accordance with a remand, charged with savagelyassault-
ing a child named Leah Livingstone, aged 8 years.
From the evidence, it appeared that the prisoner was
in the service of Mrs. Livingstone, in the capacity of
nursemaid, and that the assault was committed in the
following manner:—Thetchild was playing in the nursery
with the other children, and the prisoner was sitting at
the time in the same place. The child, Leah, in a
playful mood, placed the chamber utensil in the
prisoner's lap, upon which she jumped up in
a violent manner, and, using a very violent
expression, swore she would blind her. The unfortunate
child repeated the act, and the prisoner snatched up a
fork and drove it into the child's eye. The prisoner was
brought up this morning in order to see if the child was
in attendance to give evidence. The mother stated that
the child bad completely lost the sight of one eye, and
was now an in-patient of the Ophthalmic Hospital, the
surgeon of which admirable institution stated that the
child could not, without risking entire deprivation of
sight, attend to-day. ,

Mr. Henry stated that it would be absolutely neces-
sary for the child to attend, in order that the prisoner
might be adequately punished for the savage outrage.
He should therefore order her to be again remanded for
a week.

Lord Panmure has received the following tole-
graphic despatch from General Simpson, dated
Crimea, Aug. 27 :

We have just concluded the ceremony of in.
vestiture of the Bath.

Nothing could have gone off better.
The Naval and Military Commanders of the
Allied Forces assisted at the ceremony, in other

London, England, 1855-08-28

THE CAMP.

The following is an extract from an officer's let-
ter, dated " Camp before Sebastopol, August 9,
1855 :"

* The army is much healthier than we
could have anticipated, though the weather has
been excessively hot, especially at Balaklava, which
is a perfect little oven. Thermometer yesterday
was 88 deg. in the shade, but one day, about a
fortnight since, I saw it 95 deg. in the shade.
This is very trying to the constitution. My
health, however, is better than it was a month or
two ago. I hope the War Minister will take care
of us in the winter. A great responsibility he will
have to answer for, if we are not hutted, and our
hospitals in the field are not as perfectas those of our
aolal nt Allies, who have their infirmariers,
pbysi-
plans, surgeons, apothecaries, &c., &c., in admir-
able working order. * * * Should the officers
Who lead the men iuto action, and without whom
they would be a mere armed mob, not receive a
corresponding increase of pay to the men, serious
evils most assuredly will take place. This forms
our present engrossing subject of conversation. If we
are to be treated with positive injustice, indifference
will take the place of zeal, and retirement from the
service, in utter disgust, will become the general
rule, not the exception, as at present. I believe
the next grand attack will be made by the end of
the month. lam going to the trenches this even-
ing, and have not time to add more."
London, England, 1855-08-28

THE BALTIC FLEET.

DANTZIC, Aug. 24.—The Geyser, 7, Commander
R. Dew, left Nargen last Tuesday evening, at eight
o'clock, and, after a very rough passage, arrived
here this morning with the weekly mails.
With the bombardment of Sweaborg the opera-
tions of the Baltic fleet will, in all proLbility, be
brought to a close for this season. All the mortar
vessels left on the 19th : the Euryal us will con-
vey them as far as the Belt, and the Basilisk
(which vessel, havieg burst one of her boilers,
is going home for repairs) is to accompany them
on to England. Rai her an interesting fact in
connection with this subject is, that during
the late attack on Sweaborg the English mortar
vessels alone fired 3,150 shells, weighing 590
tons, to an average distance of two miles and one
furlong. No wonder, after such heavy service,
that they are now sent home as unfit for further use.
On the 16th Admiral Seymour arrived in the
Exmouth at Cronstadt, to take the command of
the squadron stationed there; this, however, will
soon be compelled, in consequence of the continued
bad weather, to seek another and a safer anchor-
oge. Seskar Island is spoken of as the place likely
to ,be chosen for this purpose. Admiral Baynes
left Cronstadt in the Retribution on the 18th, and
after communicating with the Commander-in-Chief
at Nargen proceede on a cruise up the Gulf of
Bothnia.

In the Russian account of the bombardment of
Sweaborg, it is stated that, when the fleet left that
place for Nargen on the 13th, they had a "disabled
frigate" in tow. It may bo as well, if only for the
sake of truth, to mention, that the "disabled
frigate" was nothing more or less than our hospital
ship Bellisle, which, being only a sailing vessel, is
generally towed by one of, the steamers.
On the 15th six Russian gun-boats came out
from Cronstadt, and, having intimated by their
movements that they were prepared to measure
their strength with any vessel that dared to go out
to meet them, the Imperieuse, Bulldog, and Cen-
taur were ordered to slip_in close and try to cut
them off. The Russian gun-boats, however, beat a
retreat as quickly as possible into shallow water,
evidently in the hope that our large vessels would
attempt to follow ; in this, however, they were dis-
appointed. The Itnperieuse, Bulldog, and Centaur
opened a brisk fire upon them, which was returned.
Tile engagement lasted about two hours ; little da-
mage, was done on either side.

the present stock of wheat at Dantzic amounts
to about 2,000 1 sts only.
Wheat crops this year are said to be very de-
fective and inferior.

"We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-

and when 'it is remembet'ed that the lamented Listen used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through -a stricture which had

BOW-STREET.

Emily Legg was this morning placed at the bar in
accordance with a remand, charged with savagelyassault-
ing a child named Leah Livingstone, aged 8 years.
From the evidence, it appeared Oat the prisoner was
in the service of Mrs. Livingstone, in the capacity of
nursemaid:and that the assault was committed in the
following manner —The child wasrplaying in the nursery
with the other children, and the prisoner was sitting at
the time in the same place. The child, Leah, in a
playful mood, placed the chamber utensil in the
prisoner's lap, upon which the jumped up in
a violent manner, and, using a very violent
expression, swore she would blind her. The unfortunate
child repeated the act, and the prisoner snatched up a
fork and drove it into the child's eye. The prisoner was
brought up this morning in order to see if the child was
in attendance _to give evidence. The mother stated that
the child bad completely lost the sight of one eye, and
was now an in-patient of the Ophthalmic Hospital, the
surgeon of which admirable institution stated that the
child could not, without risking entire deprivation of
sight, attend •to-day.
Mr. Henry stated that it would be absolutely neces-
sary for the child to attend, in order that the Oisoner
might be adequately punished for the savage outrage.
He should therefore order her to be again remanded for
a week.

THE CHOLERA AT FLORENCE. —The followirE is an '!(())
extract from a late letter from Florence :—" The cho- i6O
lera is raging bad here. There are 200 cases a day, which
jou
is a good deal, and of course most of them die. They
have, however, turned up a wretched Madonna, who
has not heett uncovered since the plague, and it has
done, as a matter of cour,e, immense harm. But the
priests have it all their own way."
THE LICENSING OF ALEHOUSES.—Eminent legal au-
thorities,
we understand, have given an opinion that 100
justices in boroughs, without a separate count of quarter 10
sessions of the peace, have not the power t') grant a!e-
house licences. We hear that the borough justices of
Sunderland, South Shields, and Tynemou'll, acting on
this view of the law, have not granted licences for the
ensuin year.-- Gatalleaa Observer.

THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH.

The public•will be delighted to learn that Professor
Anderson, the unrivalled magician, who has performed
before the most of. the crowned- heads in Europe, has
taken the Lyceum Theatre for a limited number of
nights, previous to his retiring from public life. The
Professor has added to his store of magical illusions an
immense number of new tricks of the most wondrous
nature, and we have not the slightest doubt but the
evening levees of "'his. Majesty" will be attended, as
they have hitherto been, by crowded and delighted
audiences. ;

HEALTH OF THE EMPRESS EUGENIE,

The public will, no doubt, have reiniiiiAd that the
Empress Eugenie hag taken butlittle 'part in the public
festivities celebrated last week in Paris. For this care
of her Majesty's health there is every reason to believe
that there is a most satisfactory cause.; and, indeed, it
is' known that Queen Victoria was most anxious and
pressing in her kind advices to the Empress to observe
every precaution on which so important, a future may
depend.
We expect confidently that, at no distant date, the
official Moniteur, according to the etiquette of France,
will announce to the nation the pregnancy of the
Empress.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Three young females, named Sullivan, Hide, and
Hart, and a lad named Murray, were brought before
the Lord Mayor, charged with shoplifting, The pri-
soners were seen by one of the City detectives to enter
the shop of Mr. Morris, tailor, Ludgate-hill, and from
their manner suspecting they were out for the purpose
of plunder he watched them. They came out of Mr.
Morris's shop and visited several others. They after-
wards turned down Bucklersbury and got into Thames-
street, when be saw the lad Murray take off his cap
and put on one he had from one of the females. He fol-
lowed them to Tower-hill, where he procured the assist-
ance of police-constable 579, and went up to them. He
asked them how many caps they had, and they gave
him three. The prisoners were then taken to the sta-
tion-house, where the females were searched by the
female searcher. On Sullivan she found a portmonnaie
with 4 duplicates ; on Hart a silk pocket handkerchief,
and under Hide's clothes a cloth coat. The caps were
idertified as the property of Mr. Cunningham, hatter,
57, Cheapside, and Messrs. White and Son, 63, Cheap-
side, and the coat, that of Messrs. 'Wallace and Co.,
tailors, 288, Holborn-hill.
_ _ _

Foye, detective, raid the male prisoner had given a
wrong name, and he believed there was a charge still
against him.
The L,n'd Mayor complimented Green, the detective
officer who apprehended them, for his vigilance in watch-
ing the prisoners.
They were remanded for a week.

REPORT OF GENERAL NIEL.

General Niel, whom the Emperor Napoleon sent to
report on the state of the siege operations, says a
great change is to be made in the mode of attack.
Hitherto the principal points of attack by the be-
siegers have been the south-eastern portion of the
exterior line of defence of Sebastopol, the Quaran-
tine Fort, and the Flag-staff bastion. It has been
resolved that the direction of the attack shall be
changed. The principal point of attack chosen by
General Niel is Fort Malakoff. Four batteries are to
be erected at the distance of six hundred metres
from that bastion, which will completely unite the
French and English works, and enable them to
concentrate an overwhelming force against the
place, and render it untenable. It is calculated
that these works will be completed about the 10th
of March, er, in allowing for accidents of weather
and unforeseen delays, at all events by the 20th. By
that time the allied forces will be prepared to open a
fire, which, it is be hoped, will be decisive, with no less
than 400 heavy guns.

Wonderful Remedies for the Cure of Bad Legs.—Mr.
Slater, of Stone, states, in a letter to Professor Hollo-

foot and ankle were one complete mass of sires, the
worst h• ever beheld ; but by the application of the

Scarcely any foreign stock was here to-day.
The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts
fresh up this morning were very moderate as to nu►ubor,
and there was a slight falling off in their general quality
compared with some previous weeks. Although the at-
tendance of buyers was by no means numerous, the beef
trade was somewhat active, at an advance in the quota-
tions obtained on Monday last of 2d per Sibs. The highest
figure was 4s. 10d. per Slbs.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,300 Scots aid shorthorns; from other parts of
England, 300 of various breeds ; aid from Scotland, chiefly
by railway, 230 horned and polled Scots.
There was only a moderate supply of beasts on sale, and
we observed a material decline in their weight and condi-
tion. On the whole, the mutton trade was tolerably firm,
but we have no change to notice in prices.
Very few calves wore brought forward, yet the veal
trade was heavy, at barely last week's currency.
Pigs, the supply of which was mall, moved off slowly,
on former terms.

that line to and from Manchester, ls. 2. for first-class,
and Bid. for third-class, being respectively sd. and nel.

STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.)

MANCHESTER, Feb. 23.—We are unable to report the
slightest improvement in any department of our market
since Tuesday ; all circumstances, in fact, both commer-
cial and political, combine still further to diminish peo-
ple's confidence and increase their caution. The entire
transactions of the week have been on the most inconsider-
able scale, and the prices accepted by sellers have been
rather below those of last week. Low as these are, no-
body ventures to speculate in any degree, or to make any
purchases at all exceeding the requirements of the day.
BRADFORD, Feb. 2.--The colonial wool sales in Lon-
don have opened with more animation, and maintained
a degree of firmness not warranted by the state of the
worsted trade, still each night's sale is well attended
by buyers. In English of all kinds here there
is a still greater degree of dullness manifested
than has been since last clip, and as the quantity
consuming is net more than one-third at this period last
year, there is nothing to induce, but everything to de-
ter, buyers from purchasing more than for day-by-day
consumption ; and with such driblets as the sales now
represent prices cannot be maintained. Noils and
braes are not plentiful, consequently cemtnand rela-
tively good prices.
LEICESTER, Feb. 22.—The Government orders which
have supported a considerable branch of our trade for so
long a time being nearly all completed, has produced
much greater depression in our market this week, and
thrown many more operatives out of employ ; we cannot
report any improvement in the general demand. Manu-
facturers are acting cautiously.
London, England, 1855-02-26

STAINES, WOKINGHAII, AND WOKING
JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Thursday at the London Tavern ; Mr. J. Garrard in
the chair.

The SECRETARY read the report, which stated that the
works on the main line veers progressing satisfactorily.
The half of the entiri earthwork is completed, and one
half of the permanent way materials on the ground.
There will be no difficulty in completing the line for
opening by August next. In case the company's deben-
• tures should be taken up to the full extent, the directors
would not find it necessary to make more than one call
before the main line is opened. The directors have two
bills now before Parliament which they submit to the
shareholders. The first bill is to authorise various alte-
rations in the details of the line, and the second is for
the purpose of authorising a line one mile in length
to unite the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate
Railway with the narrow gauge line of the Great
Western at Reading. This junction would unite
all the narrow gauge lines from that place
with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail-
way. The directors were satisfied that this bill would
be most advantageous to the interests of the company,
and they consequently recommend it to the proprietors
for their approval. The capital account sh)wed that
150,2681. had been received; and 153,1021. expended,
leaving a balance against the company of 2,8341. The
report of Mr. 3. Gardner, the engineer, stated that the
p,arthworks between Staines and Wokingham had pro-
deeded actively during the last six months ; in the
heavier portions of the cuttiuge, situated at Trottsworth,
Sunninghill, and Bracknell, being nearly one-half of the
total quantity between Staines and Wokingham, are now
completed. The laying of the permanent way will be
proceeded with as soon as the weather permits. The
working drawings for the bridge across the Thames at
Staines are now completed, and the works will be com-
menced forthwith.
The CHAIRMAN in moving the adoption of the report
and statement of accounts congratulated the proprietors
ot
theirs rhs wase the c
progress
had proceeded made in the works. He believed that
