ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
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, M.R.C.S.E.,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the

Cure.of Strictures of tile Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, throttp;h a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of. his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the vanous
kinds 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."--:Aledical Circular.

BREAD 114 KING BY VERY.

In our last we drew attention to a company
formed to bring into more general use Stevens's
patent machery for kneading dough. The value of
this invention is attested by a most remarkable
body of testimonials. The machinery has already
been adopted at the leading public establishments,
including Greenwich Hospital, Colney Hatch
Lunatic Asylum, Cold Bath Fields Prison, and most
of the metropolitan workhouses, Aldershot Camp,
Sre., as also by a long list of master bakers, and all
who have used the machine tell the same encou-
raging tale, namely, that it economises time and
material, and relieves tho journeyman from the
most oppressive and injurious portion of their
labour. But beyond all this, the process of making
bread by machinery is thoroughly cleanly. To
all who know anything of the disgusting details
connected with the manufacture of bread under
the old hand and arm system of kneading, the
last-named advantage should be amp]y sufficient
of itself to ensure the introduction of the machi-
nery into all bakeries, whether on a large or a
small scale. What will greatly facilitate its use
is the circumstance that it soon repays its cost
in the saving which it effects, and that owing to
its simplicity of construction it is easily under-
stood. No one can peruse the practical testimo-
nials addressed to the patentee without coming
to the conclusion that the invention is one of
great public utility, and that it merits support.
It is generally admitted, that of all the industrial
classes the journeymen bakers in London and
other large towns are amongst the most un-
healthy and down-trodden. Various attempts have
been made by these poor men to secure emanci-
pation for themselves from their present killing
toil ; but their necessarily feeble efforts have been
attended with but little success, as a vast portion
of them are still required to work on an average
100 hours per week, and often in cellars which
are a positive disgrace to civilisation. The com-
pany in question will, it is alleged, be the means
of breaking down this most pernicious and re-
pulsive system of producing the principal portion
of our daily food.— Observer.

THE MILITIA.

Sir J. FERGUSSON moved that, in the opinion of
this honk, it was not desirable that the annual training
of the militia should be of ,less duration than the mini-
mum period recommended by the royal commission.
He contended that 28 days training a year was the least
that should be allowed for training the militia, in order to
maintain the body in a state of efficiency, and he cited the
authority of the Royal Commission which had considered
this subject, in support of his argument.
Lord BURLEIGH seconded the motion, and said that
in consequence of the improvements which had taken place
in the rifle, it was more necessary than ever that
the term of training of the militia should not
be reduced. Re respectel the Volunteers, and considered

they were entitled to support, but he denied that they were
qualified to replace the militia, which in times of emergency
replenished the ranks of the line, to which they had long
acted as a nursery. He adverted to the danger
that might arise in the event of invasion if the militia were
not in a state of efficiency.
Sir G. LEWIS said there was no doubt the militia was a
constitutional force, and would prove of the greatest ad-
vantage to the country in the event of an invasion. The
question involved, however, was one to be considered by
the house as one of substantial expenditure. In 1860 the
number of regiments of militia was 23, and the expenditure
incurred was £500,190 ; and for 1861 it amounted to
£637,000, which had arisen from the increase in the num-
ber of days of drill and training. If the proposition of the
hon. baronet (Sir J. Fergusson) were agreed to, and
the 28 days training and 14 days drill were adopted,
the estimate would have to be increased to
to £749,549. The Government dealing with the question
in an economic view, and taking into account the efficiency
of the regular troops and the volunteers, had to consider
whether they should reduce the number of the days of
training and drill, or the number of men in the
militia. If they had taken the latter course he was
satisfied they would have incurred more censure than
in the present case, for if they diminished a body of effec-
tive men, it would be difficult to replace them. (Hear.)

After a few words from several hon.:members,

The motion of the hon. baronet was negatived without a

division.

" The whole number of theatres in the United King-
dom is 133," and of these London contains 25, Scot-

annual receipts of the London theatres are calcu-
lated at £350,000, whilst the amount annually spent

of a million. We extract from it this account of

WATERFORD AND KILKENNY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held on Saturday, at the London Tavern ; Mr. C.
R. Colman in the chair.

The report stated that the traffic for the half-
year ending the 25th of March last amounted to
£9,307, and the working expenses to £4,445, leav
ing a balance of £4,862. To this was added £B4
from the preceding half-year, making £4,946.
Frotg this was deducted £3,556 for interest on
loans, leaving £1,391. The working expenses
having been reduced, the balance of revenue was
considerably in excess of the amount realised in
previous years, and nearly three times as much as
in the half-year immediately preceding the removal
of tho management to Ireland. The directors re-
commended that a dividend at the rate of 1-} per
cent. per annum be paid on the preference stock.
With respect to the extension line to Maryborough,
upon which the future of the main line so much
depended, the directors had reason to believe there
was a certainty of a contract being entered into for
the works this summer. The capital account showed
that £595,055 had been expended.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said the directors intended to propose a
dividend of 295. per cent. per annum on the prefer-
ence shares, being is. less than that recommended
in the report.
Mr• A DAMS contended that the local management
had not achieved what the local directors had pro-
mised on taking office.
Mr. DELAHUNTY explained that the local direc•
tors had done everything in their power to promote
the interests of the company. They had obtained
the Act authorising the extension line, notwith-
standing the opposition of Mr. Adams and others.
They had also succeeded in obtaining a subscription
of £40,000, but they required a further subscription
of about £60,000 before they could make arrange-
ments with a responsible contractor for carrying on
the works.

Mr. FREEMAN believed the only chance of im-
proving their property was to raise the remainder
of the £lOO,OOO, and to carry out the extension line
as recommended.

The report was then received and adopted.
On the suggestion of Mr. Adams a dividend of 1
per cent. per annum was declared on the preference
shares, instead of the 295. per cent., and the differ-
ence was to be applied towards paying off an accu-
mulated debt against revenue, it being understood
that the remainder of the debt was to be entirely
wiped out of the next half-year's revenue. The
retiring directors were re-elected. A committee of
consultation was appointed, with a view to assist in
carrying out the extension line, and the proceedings
terminated.

(the Chairman) expected that at the next meeting

the very large traffic in goods and passengers they
had reason to expect would pass over their line.
He was informed that Government were making
arrangements for the construction and improvement
of cross roads to the railway stations, with a view
to benefit the country and increase the advantages
of railway communication throughout various dis-
tricts in India.
