(IN THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
V STRICTURES of the URETHRA ; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
kreat discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
inds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—liledical Circular.

SPORTING 'NOTES.

- -
The programme for the4incoln Meeting is one of the,
most attractive that Mr. FOrlpever issued, and, no doubt,
will attract a large numbeipf visitors. There are five
items in the list for to-Arow, the most interesting of
which is the Trial Stakes, iiilvhich thirteen horses are en-
gaged, the weights of which brand thus :

Age st lb
Libellous
.1
Eastern Princess 4 8 7

Ducat 4 8
Pool' horno

Coral
Brahmin

Age st lb
St Bernard .. 3 7 3
Anxiety filly 3 7 0
Senior Wrangler 3 6 13
St. Lawrence
Weatherden 3 6 13
Cutty Queen colt 3 6 13

Dusk 3 7 31•—.

The top-weighted Libellous, with his 10lb penalty, can
have no chance; but for Eastern Princess I entertain the
highest respect, as last year. she beat Malta and Ducat at
level weights in a common canter over the same distance.
Ducat has an allowance of 71lie; which makes his chance
look formidable. Brahmin, Dusk, Anxiety filly, and
Weatherden have all been backed, but I will look for the
winner in either Eastern Princess or Ducat, the former for
choice.

There are twenty-five entries for the Brocklesby Stakes,
viz., eighteen fillies and seven colts. As it would be useless
to speculate on this race before the numbers are up, I will
merely throw out the hint that an investment on STRAW-
BERRY HILL and DIRT CHEAP may prove remunerative.
In the City Handicap Ducat is again engaged, but I
expect he will be reserved for
, the Lincolnshire Handicap,
er he could not lose. Will&Vright, another of the old
horses, is also favourably 40-dioitpped, and in the absence
of Ducat I award the pre, to „hkh, ,
In the Grand Steeplechase my preference is for DUHAL -
LOW and PINE APPLE.

The Lincolnshire Handicap has an entry of 57, being
seven more than last year, but the handicap appears to
have scarcely given so much satisfaction, as already nine
have been struck out. If only for the sake of obtaining a
line for future events the field is, however, sure to be large,
selected from the following :—Ariadne, Walkington, Flash-
in. the- Pan, Suburban, Remunerator, Brown Stout, Zuleika,
filly, St Laurence,
s (or Sweetsauce).

It will be here seen that although the mile is within the

two of that age in the seven years it has been run for. The

satisfied with the weights , which,
ap-
portioned to them, as the conditions require no declaration
of forfeit. Ariadne now occupies the position of first favou-
rite, but on what grounds I really am at a loss to know.
Last year she was out of all form ; and never having known
a case where a mare having once lost form ever returned
to it again, I am bound on the present occasion to oppose
her pretensions. Suburban has been labouring too much
under the metallic fever to receive favourable notice from
me. Should the money be all right on the day of the race
he will be difficult to beat. Ducat is again engaged here,
and
ought to hold all the young ones safe. Zuleika, lam
told, has had a bad night. Walkington ran second to Ben-
bow for this nice last year, and is well worth backing for a
place, if he does not turn out the actual winner. The un-
fortunate Brown Stout, who was to have won the St. Leger
last year, has made his appearance in the betting. Those
who have anything to do with him will have cause after-
wards to congratulate themselves on being " done brown."
From the above remarks it will be seen that I prefer the
chances of DUCAT and WALKINOTON.

The Hurdle Race should go to the owner of Northern

Light,

For the Liverpool Steeplechase my fancy, at present, is
Thomastown and The Huntsman, as it would not surprise
me to see The Dane struck out before the day of the race.
Old Calabar looks a certainty for the Two Thousand, but
I prefer Buckstone to him for the Derby, who will see a
much shorter price before many weeks are over. In the
Newmarket Craven Meeting Sir Joseph Hawley's Derby
horse Argonaut will have an opportunity of entering the
lists against Old Calabar. Argonaut has an allowance of
41bs., and ought to defeat Old Calabar easily to have any
chance for the Derby ; but I think Sir Joseph has a better
horse in Duke Rollo, who is also engaged in the Biennial
Stakes, and ought not to be lost sight of, as he only ran
once last year in an unprepared state, and just suffered
defeat by a short head from King of Hearts.

three animals, of whom Suburban and Ariadne were sup-
ported very freely.—Nothing done on the Brocklesby; very
little on the Grand National ; 9 to 1 was offered against
Huntsman, and 100 to 5 was booked about Corona, but
afterwards 200 to 8 was laid. There was a commission for

THE NA Vl'.

kne,excellent system has been inaugurated at
Port for the safe and comfortable transit of
officers and men between the ships at Spithead and
the shore, by order of the Commander-in-Chief,
Vice-Admiral Sir H. W. Bruce by which one of
the paddle steam tenders belonging to the port will
go between the harbour and Spithead three times
a day. Oa coming into harbour, instead of the
men being landed in watermen's boats at the charge
of id. or 2d. from each man, arrangements have
been made, for the steamer to go alongside the
dockyard jetties, whence the men can disembark
and embark with out any danger and without cost.
Hitherto a gunboat has been appropriated to attend
on the ships at Spithead, but such a vessel has been
found of little service ; and, in fact, men who left
ships at Spithead in a waterman's boat arrived,
generally speaking, on shore as soon and at as
little cost as those who took passage by the gun-
boat. Besides this, constant acCidents have taken
place, owing to the officer in command of the gun-
boat, whoever he might be, being ignorant of the
peculiar set of the tides between the harbour and
Spithead. Altogether the new system may be
characterised as a practical reform, and will be fully
appreciated bythe2,ooo cfficers and men now lying
on board her Majesty's ships at Spithead.
The men discharged from the Emerald and''
Shannon at Spithead, under recent regulations,
have been placed on beard the Blonde hulk in Ports-
mouth harbour, under command of Lieut. J. B.
Michell, of the Victory, and are to be employed for
the present in the dockyard, receiving check money.
The 120-gun three-decker Waterloo, which has
been converted to an 86-gun screw steamer and
fitted with engines of 500 horse power, since which
she has been attached to the steam reserve in the
Medway, is to be brought forward for immediate
commission. It is understood that her name will be
changed to the Conqueror. The:Waterloo was for
many years the flagship at the Nore, and on being
altered into a screw steamer bad one of her decks
removed, and was also lengthened. She is now one
of the finest vessels of her class belonging to the
navy.
Capt. C. F. Schomberg, who has been superinten-
dent of the steam reserve at Chatham for several
years, relinquished that appointment on Sunday,
and left the Cumberland, 74, guardahip of the
steam reserve in the Medway, to take command of
the Edinburgh, 60, 450 horse power, coastguard
ship at Leith. Prior to leaving Capt. Schomberg
was entertained at dinner on board by the officers
of the ship. Capt. Thompson, the newly-appointed
superintendent of the reserve, took the command
the same day.
The hired transport British Star has arrived at
Woolwich,and commenced shipping Armstrong guns
shot, and shell, for Jamaica. The Princess has also
arrived from Gibraltar, laden with 600 tons of re-
turned war stores. The Balaklava, steam transport,
yesterday commenced loading a couple of Arm-
strong batteries complete, consisting of six 12-
pounder guns each, and their appurtenances, for the
4th brigade Royal Artillery at Portsmouth.
