gence contained in the following letter, which has
been received by the Ost. Deutsche Post :
"ODEssa, Aug. 25.—The arrival of the Emperorof All
the Russias has probably been postponed en account
of the occurrences on the Baltic, for the preparations
making in the apartments in the Boulevard, which he
was to have occupied, have been suspended. Next week
there will be grand manceuvres here under the personal
direction of Adjutant-General Luders. 40 battalions,.
82 squadrons, and 18 batteries will take the field.
Odessa will be attacked and defended, and the line of
attack will extend from the village of Lutsdorf to Mount
Shawachoff. Yesterday a part of Gen. Grothenjelm's
light cavalry division passed through the city on its way
to the camp, which is on the east side of it ; and soon
after several reserve battalions of the 11th Infantry Di-
vision followed. Officers belonging to the Imperial
Guard are seen lounging about the streets, and their
presence is a proof that the Guard Corps is not far dis-
tant. A part of it is said to be already in Bessarabia.
Yesterday a report circulated here that the Allies bad
been totally defeated before Seba,.topol, and the Victoria
Battery and the works on Mount Sapoun taken. The
police has arrested the person who spread the false news.
"For some time past a notice from the Post Depart-
ment has been lying on the tables of the clubs, recom-
mending military men to read the Austrian Military
Gazette, and civilians to direct their attention to 'the
Prussian corropondence.' "
The Sebastopol letters of the Vienna
Militdr-
geitung have never found their way into my corre-
spondence, and its news from the seat of war has
always been received with extreme reserve. The
Morgen Post has taken the trouble to quote some
of the "grossest improbabilities" contained in the
recent Russian bulletins from the White Sea, but
they appear irrefutable truths when compared to
the St. Petersburg accounts of the effec ts of the bom-
bardment of Sweaborg. It is whispered in Russian
circles that the real loss to the State may amount
to about 20,000,0001 The Anhalt Gazette has
private advices from the German colony at Ascania
Nova, near Perekop, that the effects of the war
are more and snore felt. Great numbers of troops
pass, and conflicts sometimes occur between them
about the water, which in that neighbourhood can
only be drawn in small quantities from the wells.
Not long since the colonists who were between the
ages of 16 and 30 were obliged to enter the army.
To-morrow the Emperor Francis Joseph will
leave the Castle of Laxenburg, and travel, by way
of Styria, to Ischl.

_ .
Our last direct advices from Constintinople are of
the 23d. Two Turkish divisions, under Osman and
Sefer Pasha, remain at nalaklava, and preparations
are being made for supplying the men with winter
tents and fur cloaks. On the 21st the new French
and British gun-boats entered the Bosphorus. The
latter are armed with mortars. Abdi Pasha, who
was with Guyon in Anatolia, is now the Commis-
sioner of the Porte at Varna, and is superintend-
ing the embarkation of the Turkish troops.

The half-yearly meeting of this company took place
yesterday at Manchester; Mr. Wickham, M.P., pre-
,ided. The meeting was also made special, for the pur-
pose of approving the lease of the Rochdale Canal, and

pany, and in proportidn on the other stock, in addition
to the guaranteed rates.

The special meeting was then held, and the CHAIRMAN

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

By F. B. COURTEN&Y,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Englind.

" We believe Mr. Coartenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not
surpassesi, that of any of his contemporaries. ft is, therefore, no
matTer of sure rise 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. ''ourtenay's part. to haVe achieved the reputation
he has in this resiect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whose care w, would with
greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

munications. The loss of the Allies at that time
had not been a tenth part of the number. That
the elite of the Russian forces were almost extir-
pated, that Russian recruits were not made into
soldiers under three years, while ours became
staunch troops very quickly—that, in truth,
Sebastopol was a running sore in the side of Rus-
sia, from which her strength was fast draining
out. .

Whether these views were actually expressed
by the EMPEROR or not, there is evident truth in
them. His late written remarks read to the army,
from information " on which he could rely, as to
the impossibility of the Russians getting through
the winter in the Crimea," are in keeping with
the above statements from the New York Times.
The famishing condition of the reinforcements
marched to destruction on the 16th corroborates
the general opinion. Were Russia in Europe
with its present population, one-fourth its present
size, it would be far more formidable to attack.
To maintain troops at once in the North, in Po-
land, and the Crimea, and to move them without
railways, and generally without roads, greater
distances than the length of England or of France,
and for the most part over wildernesses, is a task
which must in no long time wear out all her re-
sources both of men, and convey2,,noe, and of
money too,

THE BALTIC.

The Independence Belge publishes the following
letter, dated Hamburg, Ist inst. :

"We have ascertained the motive of the unexpected
arrival at Kiel, of the French liner Austerlitz, of 101
guns. That fine vessel, which already experienced diffe-
rent accidents during the first campaign in the Baltic,
was recently twice driven on sandbanks, and her keel has
suffered such serious injury that it was round necessary
to send her back to. France to undergo repairs. The
English bomb vessels, ordered to England by Admiral
Dundas, are still lying- at Elsinore, awaiting further in-
structions from the Government. They cannot be em-
ployed again this year in any operation, being completely
unserviceable. Theirconstruction as ships of war is deficient
in solidity, and professional men who have inspected
them cannot conceive bow the Admiralty could send
such slight vessels to so dangerous a sea as the Baltic.
The French transport Marne had arrived at Nargen,
with the war materiel destined for the squadron of Rear-
Admiral Penaud. The two French gun-boats Argue.
buse and St. Barbe are still at. Kiel waiting the orders
of their Governments. The ',umber of days favourable
to naval operations in the Gulf of Finland is rapidly
diminishing, and the Allied fleets will soon be com-
pelled to retire by the equinoctial gales. The
rector of the University of Helsingfors, in Finland,
has announced that,, in consequence of the continua-
tion of the war, all the lectures, which were to com-
mence on the Ist inst., would be suspended till the
cessation of hostilities. The English ship of the line
Sanspareil, lately arrived at Kiel, with an enormous
cargo of projectiles for the English fleet, weighed anchor
yesterday to return to England, with her entire cargo,
on receipt of a telegraphic despatch to that effect.
Admiral Dundas will not consequently receive those
munitions of war which he had so earnestly applied for.
It may be infer rerl fr im this fact that no other operation
is contemplated in the Baltic before next spring. The
crew of the transport Cottingbam, wrecked in the be-
ginning of August, on the coast of the island of Goth-
land, passed yesterday through Hamburg, on their way
to England. The sick and wounded on board were for-
tunately saved, and no life was lost."

POST•OFFICP ROBBERY.—John Grace, a letter•carrier,
was placed at the bar charged with stealing various
lettere, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster.

General.
The Solicitor to the Post-office having stated the ease,
Mr. J. Adlington, a grocer, residing at Gravesend,
said—on Monday last he wrote a letter and enclosed in
it a cheque for 46/. 14s. 6d., drawn on the London and
County Bank. He crossed the cheque previous to
sending it, and having placed the letter in an adhesive
envelope, which he directed to Messrs. Ruck and Son,
40, King William-street, London. It was about twenty
minutes past 12 when he despatched a lad named John
Atwood with it to the post-office. He expected an
answer to the letter, and not receiving any he made in-
quiries relative to it. He had also ascertained
that the cheque had not been presented for payment at

the bank.
John Atwood said he was in the. service of Mr. Ad-
lington at Gravesend. On Monday last he received a
letter from his master to post, directed to Messrs. Ruck
and Son, 40, King William•street, city, at about 20
minutes past 12. He took the letter to the General Post-
office at Gravesend, and there deposited it, two or three
minutes before one, in the same state as he had received
it from Mr. Adlington.
A second charge was then proceeded with, in order to
embrace the two cases in one indictment.

Joseph Ruddick, a linen draper at Gravesend, stated
on Monday last he wrote a letter and enclosed a cheque
for 1/. Bs. in it. The cheque was drawn by his wife
Martha, on the London and City Bank, and also crossed
by her. The letter and cheque were then placed in an
adhesive envelope, and addressed John Clark, junior, and
Co., 72, Aldermanbury, City. He posted the letter
himself at Gravesend, at about eleven o'clock. He had
not received an answer to the letter. He had made in-
quiries respecting the letter and its contents, and
found that the cheque had not been presented at the
bank. He identified the fragments of a letter produced
as forming part of the letter he had posted at Gravesend.
Walter Tisdell, a clerk in the Post-office at Gravesend,
stated that at five minutes before one the mail-bag was

made up and despatched to London, and all letters
posted before that hour would have been forwarded by
that bag.
Mr. Richard Ruck, resided at 40, King William-
street, City. He assisted his father in his business. He
had bad evidence given to-day relative to the letter
posted at Gravesend, and directed to their house. That

DARING RESCUE OF A BURGLAR.

A few weeks ago a burglary was attempted at the
house of Mr. Hume, son of the late Mr. Joseph Hume,
No. 6, Harley-street, Cavendish-square. There were two
men engaged in the affair, who ascended a ladder about
eight o'clock, which was placed in front of an adjoining
house that was undergoing repair. They had reached
the house of Mr. Hume, where they succeeded in forcing
open a window of the attic. They were then disturbed
and pursued by Mr. Home, upon which they retraced
their steps down the ladder. One man got away, but
the other man fell off the ladder, when his right legwas
broken. He was taken to the Middlesex Hospital,
where ho remained up to yesterday morning• llewas
to have been brought up yesterday at the ilfarylebone
Police-court, but, upon the case being called, Mr. Jack-
son, inspector of the D division, stated that between
two and four o'clock in the morning four men succeeded
in taking the man from the hospital. The four men got
over the garden wall in the rear of the hospital, entered
the institution by means of picklock keys, and removed
him from his room by dropping him out of the window.
The policeman who had charge of the man was in bed
and asleep. They then succeededi
in carrying him
through the garden, placing him n n cab, and gating
clear away. The man is wanted for another burglary.

THE AUSTRIAN CONCORDAT.

We published from a Roman letter addressed to the
Venice Gazette an analysis of the Concordat, in its prin-
cipal arrangements, concluded between the Holy See
and the Austrian government. We now find another
analysis in the Univers, where each article is likewise
given ; and we must admit that this version—the per-
fect accuracy of which is guaranteed by the Univers,
stating that it gives on certain points of great import-
ance information more exact than the Venetian journal
did—is calculated to modifygreatly the judgment brought
to bear upon this convention.

On reading this new analysis, we comprehend very
well that the Holy See, as stated by the Univers, is
greatly delighted at the signing of the Concordat, and
evinces great gratitude for the rights just conceded to it,
and of which the church (adds the ultratoontane journal)
"had been so unjustly and fatally despoiled in Austria
by one of the predecessors of the present Emperor."
These rights are, in fact, so extensive, that, short of
pretending that the church ought to be everything and
the civil power absolutely nothing in the State, the
Holy See could hardly require. Besides the abolition
of the imperial placet, the maintenance of tithes, the
institution of ecclesiastical tribunals, the absolute right
of possessing and acquiring property, the guarantee of
all the rights and prerogatives the church ought to
enjoy, the first article of the Concordat says, "according
to the order established by God and the canonical con-
stitutions," &c., the Concordat delivers up education
almo-t entirely to the clergy throughout the whole ex-
tent of the empire. It confers on the bishops the right
of prohibiting whatever books they shall deem contrary
to religion and good morals, and the Government will
be bound to support them by the armed power in pre-
venting the publication of such writings. This, it is
plain, is an absolute right of censorship conferred on the
bishops over every work of human intelligence.
We repeat it, such vast prerogatives did not appear
to be contained in the version published by the Venice
Gazette. If, as is very probable, it is the analysis of the
Univers which is the correct one, it is extremely difficult
not to see that the Austrian Government has allowed
itself to go very great lengths in the way of concession.

it.is ought necessary an officer should pass before he
attains the highest rank only one is assigned to him in
the active and distinguished part of Lis career. Which
muat be the more utterly useless, or rather more in-
jurious, to the service of his country, the juvenility of a
boy-colonel of 14, or the auility of a field-marshal of 75,
it is difficult to say. If such things are allowed to be,
we shall be disgraced in the eyes of Europe, and must
forfeit our character for a practical business-like people.
If the British army must have its generals and field-
marshals, why in the name of common sense are they
not made when they have done something, or can do
something, ? Why in England alone should a general or
field-marshal be only another name for effeteness and
incapacity ?"

the distance being from Putney-bridge to Lambeth Pa-

REPRESENTATION OF HEREFORD.—We deem it right
to state, in consequence of its having been announced
in several of the London papers that the bankruptcy of
Sir Robert Price creates an immediate vacancy in the
representation of this city, that the seat will not become
void until twelve months have elapsed, and that if the
bankruptcy is superseded within that period there will
be no vacancy at all.—(See the statute of 52 Geo. 111.,
c. 144, sec. 1).
The war transport Orinoco, which was recently fitted
up at a great expense to take out cavalry to the seat of
war, is having all her cavalry fittings taken away at
much trouble and expense, for the purpose of taking out
infantry. As soon as she has taken out the infantry
she will very probably be fitted up again to take out
cavalry.

LITERATURE.

Guide to the French Language. By J. Le Brethon.
Simpkin, Marshall, and Co.

The fact of this being the eleventh edition of the
work before us sufficiently testifies to its merits.
It is revised and corrected by M. Sandier, profes-
sor of languages, and member of the Historical In-
stitute of France. During his long experience of
teaching be has found that, in the simplicity of its
arrangement and various other advantages, it was
superior to all other Grammars in general use. He
has, therefore, prepared this edition, which is ex-
pressly recommended for the assistance of those
who are attempting the study of French without a
teacher ; and also for those who, being tolerably
acquainted with the idioms, phrases, &c., are yet
perplexed by the construction of the language,
and the rules to be observed in composition.
The great merit of this grammar undoubtedly is
its great clearness and simplicity of arrangement.
Instead of perplexing the reader by a multitude
of unclassified rules, a regular method is adopted,
which, while it affords ample directions on each
particular topic, prevents the confusion which
arises when several departments are brought under
consideration together. There is also a great im-
provement in this work. In the exorcises figures
are placed at every difficult passage referring to the
rule which guides it, thus assisting the solitary stu-
' dent in translating the sentence correctly, and im-
pressing the rules upon his mind. A large supply
of exercises is appended, to which those who require
it can procure a key by the same author. To all
those desirous of obtaining a thorough knowledge
of the French language with the greatest ease and
rapidity compatible with its difficulties, and to all
who wish to dispense with the assistance of a mas-
ter, we can cordially _recommend this useful and
excellent grammar.

PAYING DEAR FOR A LARK.-IVilliani Croker, a young
man about 20 years of age, was brought before Mr.
Combo, charged with stealing a hat from the shop of
Mr. Joseph, general dealer in Bermondsey street.
Police-constable IC7 M said he was on duty in), Der-
monclsey-street about seven o'clock last evening, when
he saw the prisoner go up to the prosecutor's shop,
where there were several countrymen's hats exposed for
sale. He took off his own cap and placed it in his
pocket, and directly afterwards he put one of the hats on
his head, and went away singiag " All round my hat"
as jolly as could be. Witness followed him, and asked
him where he was going to with the prosecutor's hat,
when he replied "What's that to you?" and endeavoured
to run away. He, however, seized hold of him and took
him into custody. When at the station-house he said
he took the hat for a lark, and had no intention of
stealing it.

The prosecutor said that be had a number of hats
lying on a board outside his shop last evening, and about
seven o'clock he saw the prisoner walking away with
one of his hats on his head. Last witness laid hold of
him, and then he gave him into custody.
In answer to the .charge, the prisoner said he took up
the hat and put it on his head for a lark, when the con-
stable seized him and took him into custody. He was a
respectable young man, and got his living honestly.
The motLer of the prisoner, a very respectable female,
said that her son was her chief support, and she could
not account for his taking the hat unless it was for a
lark. He had plenty of money.
Mr. Combo told him he must pay for his lark, as he
should fine him 405., or one month's imprisonmE

tically abrogated an old rule exacting double fees
on the burial of every corpse not belonging to the
narish. Parochial or extra-parochial, the officials
of St. Mary asked no questions, and bodies were
brought from all parts of London to St. Mary's
graveyard for interment. Be sure of it the mandate
did not arrive a moment too soon. The yard was
closed, and the outraged and endangered parish-
ioners congratulated themselves on being freed
from so dangerous and revolting a nuisance for ever.
Mistaken mortals, they relied on the immutability
of the Home-office. A month, however, has
hardly elapsed since they were rudely awakened
from their pleasing dream. The shovel was again
at work. For some inexplicable reason the Home-
office has withdrawn its mandate, and given per-
mission for the re-opening of the yard for a cer-
tain time and under certain penalties—viz., 101.
if more than one body be interred in the same
grave, and what has been the result ? On the
21st inst., twenty-six funerals took place, the
bodies being brought from all parts ; thus, as
our correspondent remarks, "making the „neigh-
bourhood a perfect charnel-house." It is true
there is a penalty incurred if more than one body
be placed in one grave, but where so many funerals
take place how easily may this be evaded. The
beaten down surface will soon cease to tell its
tale, and the yard being filled one deep, there is
but little to prevent the officials, if left to them-
selves, beginning afresh. The finding of the
committee of the inhabitants in the parish of St.
Matthew, Brixton, in which the charges preferred
against the officials of violating the provisions of
the Burial Act, exacting double fees, and falsify-
ing the entries, are substantiated, warrants
apprehension. Nothing, in short, that we
can see will save the inhabitants from their re-
newed peril but publicity, including a strong and
united remonstzance to the Home-office ; and that
failing, a close watch and an inexorable enforce-
ment of the penalty whenever it is incurred.
They must confide in nothing but their own efforts
and the righteousness of their cause, and the more
vigorous those efforts are the sooner will success
attend them.

SUPERANNUATED FIELD-MARSHALS.

A letter in a contemporary says :—" On comparing
the Peerage with Hart's Army List, I find that Lord
Cornbermere, one of the recently appointed field-mar-
shals, was born in the year 1780 ; that he was made a
cornet at 10, a lieutenant at n, a captain at 13, a major
and lieutenant-colonel (in the same year) at 14, a colonel
at 20, and a major-general at 25 years of age. His lord-
ship's active services—and .they were very brilliant—
appear to have been confined between the commence.
ment of the Peninsular war in 1803, and his command
in India—a period of about 17 years. During this time
his lordship received only one promotion, that of lien-
tenant-general, in 1812. Again, at 75 years of age, and
after 30 years of inactivity, be is chosen to be one of a
new batch of field-marshals. Lord Combermere's pro-
motions, then, are almost entirely confined to his first
and second childhood. Of the 10 grades through which
it is thought necessary an officer should pass before he
attains the highest rank only one is assigned to him in
the active and distinguished part of his career. Which
must be the more utterly useless, or rather more in-
jurious, to the service of his country, the juvenility of a
boy-colonel of 14, or the anility of a field-marshal of 75,
it is difficult to say. If such things are allowed to be,

marshals, why in the name of common sense are they
not made when they have done something, or can do

field-marshal be only another name for effeteness and
