and apparently Intractable Forms. To which is added, PRACTICAL
OBSERVATIONS ON THE TREATMENT OF SPERMATORR-

BY F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
"Those who complain most loudly are those only who know not
how to use the common instruments
geons has been marred with all kinds of 'violence, an indifference
about the simple cure of diseases, and a passion for operations and
all the excesses and horrors of surgery."—John Bell's Surgical
Observations.—" In pro3f of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has
given the history of a great many cases successtUy treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr- Syme, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful"

THE MURDER OF RYAN.

The Tipperary Free Press gives the subjoined
particulars of the assassination of Mr. O'Callaghan
Ryan :-
6* At a late hour last evening the quiet of our town
was disturbed by a report that Mr. O'Callaghan Ryan
had been fired at and shot
.dead, at a place called
Whitesford, in the county of Waterford. Subsequent
inquiry tended, alas, to confirm this report; atd with
profontd horror, and the deepest pain have we to an-
nounce that the ruffian hand of the assassin has
terminated the existence of a gentleman esteemed
by all with whom he was acquainted. It appears that
Mr. Ryan had been yesterday serving ejectments on
some tenants on his property near Newcastle, with
whom he bas been to? some time in litigation, and, re-
turning to his residence in this town, on horseback, he
was fired at when passing
wounded in the abdomen. A policeman, whom he bad
passed on the road some minutes before, hesitincgame

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock.

FRANCE.

The addresses from certain parties in England to
the people of France, giving assurance of good wishes,
presented by Mr. Elihu Burritt, have been very
kindly noticed by several leading journals. The Siècle
quite responds to the sentiment that, no matter what
changes may take place in the forms of government,
they ought not to affect the sympathies of nations for
one another.
i As a sign of a general tendency to-
wards peace ideas, the Siecle regards with satisfac-
tion the addresses presented through Mr. Burritt.
The Pays and other journals have also some observa-
tions in a similar spirit. If the amiable philan-
thropist through whose hands the addresses in ques-
tion have been presented did no more than elicit such
responses, bis labours are rewarded ; for these answers
serve to show that the idea of war with other coun-
tries is not much in vogue at present.
The illoniteur contains a decree promoting General
of Brigade Lapene, in command of the artillery of
the Bth military division, to the rank of grand officer
of the Legion of Honour. Another decree promotes
M. Blanqui, of the Institute ; and M. Vilene, Pro-
fessor of Philosophy at the College of Louis-le-Grand,
to the rank of officers.

The subscription in favour of Dr. Newman, opened
by the Univers, amounts to 17,578 f.
The Presse, in its weekly commercial bulletin,
says :—" The orders for exportation which usually
take place in the spring were retarded this year, and
have not been of their former importance, and conse-
quently the customs returns for the first half-year of
1852 showed a considerable falling off; but there is
reason to believe that the returns for the second half-
year will be more favourable, as the commission-
brokers who generally do not begin to give their
orders before September have been giving them
during the last three weeks. Business in almost
every branch of industry was very brisk in August,
and the manufacturers in the province agree in stating
that trade has improved. Several orders have arrived
from Russia. They are all for articles of the best
kind, as the rate of duties is so high in Russia that
it does not answer to import inferior articles. As
regards the harvest, the fine weather has dissipated
the exaggerated fears that were eutertained, and many
accounts now state that the yield is good. In the
Bas-Rhin, the Prefect has informed the Council-
General of his department that he bad season to
believe the wheat crcp will exceed that of 1851, and
that the crop of potatoes will be three or four times
more considerable than that of last year. We be-
lieve, however, notwithstanding what is now said,
that the crops of 1852 will not be found to be good
either in France or in the principal countries of
Western Europe."

Caprice too frequently appeers to be the guiding in_
&tepee in the distribution of the national evidences of
approbation. Othe-wie the inequality of the honoura
and emoluments scattered ainong our more eminent
citizens would be altogether incomprehensible. It
repeatedly happens that individuals 'who have ren-
dered themselves peculiarly illustrious by their
achiervments are either entirely passed over, or re-
ceive some niggardly reward, wholly incompatible
with the value of their services. Sometimes a very
different lot, ou the other hand, is reserved
for persons of occasionally interior merit, whose
deeds are, nevertheless, recompensed with the most
extravagant profusion and the most exaggerated
munificence. If "vas in This manner that Sir Joao
Jaavt,obtained an Earldom, for the victory secured
for him through the open violation of his orders by
the incomparable Sea Captain to whom the nation
since then has, even upon her public monuments,
accorded the glory of that triwnph of British valour
off Caps St. Vincent. It wai in this manner that
Sir
--na:rio NELSON obtained merely the
Barony of the Nile and of Burnham
Thorpe, for his then unequalled victory near
Abukir—a victory the like of which had never been
witnessed at sea, either in ancient or modern times,
fought as the battle was at anchor, and at midnight.

THE BANK OF FRANCE.

Tho treaty recently com;luded between the French
Government and the Banl : of France is, like all the
public acts of that great establishment, a subject of
serious importance to the f,',:nancial and commercial in-
terest not only of the Frenc th people but of Europe. We
have not forgotten the ser aces rendered to the public
by the Bank of France in 1848, when it carried the
country through a crisis of unparalleled difficulty; but
the Bank retained at th at time its independence,
under all the vicissitude e of the political world,
and its councils were directed, not only by M. d'Argout,
who is still its Governor, but by the opinion and advice
of the Finance Committee in the National Assembly,
which included the ablest at id most experienced heads
in the nation. The recent measure to which we now
allude appears to involve a c, )nsiderable sacrifice of the
independence and the strict p rinciples by which the Bank
of France has hitherto bet. n directed ; and the effect
which these changes may het. ?after produce on the opera-
tipus of such an institution r, nclers it incumbent on us to
examine them with some mit ,uteness.
The Bank of France was still independent of the
Government, for its privil ?ges had been greeted in
1840 for 24 years, subject tc. a break at the end of 12
Years; but they could not 1:e withdrawn without the

VICE-CHANCERY.
PITZWILLIAM V. KELLY-JUDGMENT.

In this special case as to the payments of fines on re-
newal of trustees, whether by the tenant for life or the
reinainderman, and as to the intention of the testator
that leaseholds should be converted, his Honour, Vice-
Chancellor Turner, this morning gave judgment, and
stated that at the hearing several questions arose, which
afterwards settled themselves into two—first, how certain
sums of money were to be paid by the leasehold,estates—
and, secondly, how certain costs were to be borne. His
Honour, after reviewing the facts at great length, and re-
ferring to several authorities bearing upon the subject,
said he was of opinion that the sum of 2,000/. incurred
in filling up certain trusts during the life of the testator,
was to be borne out of the general residue, and not out
of the other property. The costs incurred in this hear-
ing were also to be given out of the same fund, the gene-
ral residue of the estates. Judgment accordingly.

as the plaints now brought before them. In
these Courts we should feel at ease. We, our-
selves, in simple cases, could tell our own tale,
and our legal advisers, in the more difficult ones,
could take for us a course which we could under-
stand, and of which we could see the beginning,
and the end. We could estimate the cost of re-
sisting an unjust demand, and our probable loss
in event of failure in a more doubtful cause.
This, then, is what we want to come to—Secular
Courts for laymen. A jury of our peers, if we
desire it ; and moderate fees for justice. All
matrimonial cases. also, especially now that mar-
riage is recognised by law as a civil act, must be
placed entirely in the jurisdiction of the Secular
Courts : neither must it longer be allowed
that any Judge in holy orders shall have power
at his own discretion to make a layman do
penance in the parish church. Poor BURNS has
not been the last victim of clerical spite of this
kind. In a word, we are willing to leave the
clergymen to judge one another in theological
and ecclesiastical matters, if such be their desire;
but we demand for the laity, that no Ecclesiasti-
cal Judge shall have power to touch a single hair of
their head. Indeed, for the clergy themselves, we
should also ask, that their own Courts should not
be competent to inflict secular punishments of any
kind upon them. They must be like the proposed
talking and debating Convocations, entrusted with
no other weapons than words. Spiritual weapons
alone befit Spiritual Courts ; the property and
liberty of the clergy themselves are not fit sub-
jects of adjudication for Courts Christian. Their
very Master refused to be made " a judge and a
divider" in such matters.
