THE PATHOLOGY and RATIONAL TREAT-
MENT of STRICTURE of the i'RE TURA, in all it- Varie-
ties and Complications. With P aerie& Observations on the Use and
Abuse of Urethral Instruments. The whole illustrated by numerous
cases, showing that this disease may be successfully treated by means
at once simple and safe, even in its most inveterate and apparently
intractable forms. By F. B. COURTEN M R.C.S.E. "We
believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stricture
during the last 20 years has equalled, if indeed it has not surpassed,
that of any of his contemporaries, and 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, July 27,

DRURY LANE.

Old playgoers may remember the year 1816, two plays
being produced on the same night, founded on the same
French piece, at Drury-lane under the title of Accusation,
and at Covent-garden, of The Portfolio. The Casket of
Jewels, produced last night, to fill up the gap till Thursday,
when a new and original drama is to be produced, is a
revival of the Drury-lane version. It was well acted last
night, and well received, but neither the plot nor the per-
sonages who move in it are sufficiently interesting to secure
for it nowadays that decided success which we believe it
obtained on its first production.

FRENCH PLAYS.

To the great delight of the habitues of St. James's
Theatre, M. Ravel's engagement has been prolonged till
Easter, and he will continue to appear every night until
then, in one of his favourite parts. The company has been
further strengthened by the addition of Madlle. Luther,
from the Gymnase. She made her first appearance last
night, in Les Incertitudes de Rosette, one of those little
vaudeville trifles which are written • for clever sprightly
actresses such as Madlle. Luther, and of which the whole
interest is confined to the one part in which they appear.
In the second piece, entitled Livre 111., Chapitre
Madlle. Luther gave evidence of powers of the highest
comedy, and produced an impression which will go far
towards insuring hereafter success before a London audi-
ence.

To-morrow night, M. Ravel and Macllle. Luther appear
together in a new vaudeville, entitled Qui se dispute
S'Adore.

LATEST ARRIVAL FROM THE DIGGINGS,

The Roxburgh Castle has arrived in the Downs, from
Melbourne, with 168,000 ounces of gold ; and the
Chowringhee, with 63,713 ounces, from the same port ;
making a total of 231,713 ounces, worth, at 41. per
ounce, 926,8001. The William Gladstone has also
arrived, but, owing to her having sailed from Newcastle,
New South Wales, she brings no gold. Last week we
noticed the arrival of a further sum of 120,935 ounces,
worth 483,600/., by the Three Bells and Alert, so that
there is now in the river and in the docks Australian
gold to the value of 1,410,0001., none of which, how-
ever, can be offered to the Bank for purchase before
next week, owing to the delay caused by melting and
assaying. The advices already to hand mention the

steamer was to leave for London on the Ist December,
just three months ago. Her detention is probably
owing to her having to call at several of the Australian
ports, thus risking the loss of her crew, but her arrival
may be daily expected. The Great Britain was to leave

ELECTION COMMITTEES-(THIS DAY.)

CHATHAM

The committee resumed this morning at eleven o'clock,
end witnesses were called on behalf of the sitting

member.
James Budden—Had canvassed with Sir Frederick
Smith. Had heard Hoskins promise his vote, and then
ask for a place in the Dockyard. Sir Frederick Smith
had entirely refused to give it to him. Had never
heard Sir Frederick Smith promise anything during the
whole of his canvass. Had, on the canvass, heard
several persons ask for places, but they had always been
refused.

Thomas Hills, a local coroner, and clerk to the local
board of health, had canvassed with Sir Frederick
Smith, and had never heard him make any promise.
Had never had any doubts of Sir Frederick Smith's
success from the commencement of his canvass.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna says
,the kitchen-knife
which the assassin Lebenyi used against the Empe-
ror was a new one. It was very sharp, and at the
point was sharpened on both sides. The Emperor
lost so much blood that fer ten minutes he was un-
able
to see with one eye, and for more than an
hour with the other. His Majesty asked if his
cure ,-would be long in being effected, as he was
fearful of delaying public business. The assassin,
when seized, declared it was not necessary to hold
him, as he had no intention of flying. The troops.
who were on duty in the cathedral of St. Stephen
during the celebration of the Te Dewy. were Hun-
garians ; their shouts in honour of the Emperor
were so loud that they drowned those of the people.
Nearly all the Hungarians residing at Vienna at-
tended the ceremony in national costume. After
the event became known the telegraph, almost
hour after hour, brought expressions of regret and
felicitation to his Majesty from all the courts of
Europe. The Emperor Napoleon sent himself a
dispatch direct to the Emperor. Letters of con-
gratulation have arrived from sovereigns by cou-
riers. Most of the ambassadors received orders to
send news of his Majesty twice a-day to their re-
spective courts.
A telegraphic
dispatch from Vienna of the 26th,
in the Journal de Francfort, states that the heat
in the forehead of the Emperor had increased, and
that his sleep during the night of ,the 25th had not
been regular. The Assemblee Nationale, however,
states that it has received by telegraph from Vienna
news of the Emperor dated Sunday, and that he
was going on most favourably.
Information from Pesth states that numerous
arrests have been made. Thirty individuals are
said to be compromised ; they are charged with
having drunk the health of the assassin Lebenyi m
a public-house. The authorities received an anony-
mous letter telling them that an attack was
in-
tended to be made on the principal military post in
the town, but nothing of the kind has taken place.
Several passengers who have arrived here from
Vienna by steam-boat, have been arrested. The
rumour of the arrest of a man on a charge of hav-
ing been an accomplice of Lebenyi, and with having
intended to assassinate the Archduke Albert, ap-
pears to be confirmed.
The customs conferences closed on the 22d at
Vienna. It is said that the plenipotentiaries are
to meet again in a short time at Berlin. These
conferences, says the Presse of Vienna, are essen-
tially connected with the conclusion of Austro-
Prussian commercial treaty. The States of the
coalition of Darmstadt have engaged to renew the
Zollverein with Prussia, and not to throw any
obstacle in the way of the extension of the union
by the treaty of September. In fine, they are dis-
posed to conclude at a later period an Austro-Ger-
man customs' union.

CAMBRIDGE

At the re-assembling of this committee, this morning,
Mr. Serjeant Wrangham, the counsel far the sitting
members, said that after the evidence which had been
brought forward, there could be no doubt that bribery
and treating, although to an inconsiderable extent, had
existed during the last election, that subordinate agents
had been bribed and had bribed others, and under these
circumstances the sitting members were willing to resign
their seats, as they felt it impossible successfully to op-
pose the petition. He proposed, however, to place the
sitting members in the box, with the view of proving
that not only were they entirely ignorant of the exist-
ence of bribery, but had done their utmost to prevent it,
and therefore they were justified in opposing the peti-
tion. He applied to the committee to declare the last
election for the borough of Cambridge null and void.
Mr. James would not oppose the application, but after
the examination of the sitting members he should make
an application to recommend to the house to issue a
commission under Lord John Russell, to inquire into
the practices employed at the last election, for although
the sitting members might be able to exculpate them-
selves, yet he had a mass of evidence to show that the
greatest corruption had been practised.
The room was then cleared for the committee to deli-
berate whether they would hear further evidence.
On the admission of the parties, the committee hav-
ing decided upon further evidence,
F. Sherman deposed that he had promised his own
vote, his nephew's, and a third person of the name of
Butcher, for 301. He had received 101. in an envelope,
with the Ely post mark. His nephew had received 51.
in a similar manner, and Butcher had shown hint Si.
which he had also received. He had since applied for
the remaining 11/.

eharged with a diplomatic mission to the Ottoman
Porte relative to the differences between the two
Governments, has returned to Trieste. The Otto-
man Porte has yielded to all the demands and
claims which Austria had made through that dip-
lomatist."

Although this account contradicts all alarming
reports accredited on the Bourse of Vienna, it
meets with general credence.
The message in question was addressed, by tele-
graph, by Comte v. Leinengen himself to the Ca-
binet of the Emperor.
The Austrian troops on march to Croatia have
received counter orders, but the Russian difficulty
has yet to be settled.
Letters from Ragusa, of the 11th, in the Augs-
burg Gazette, state that there is great disunion
among the Montenegrin chiefs, and that the Turks
are at a distance of four leagues from Cettinje. It
was rumoured that three Austrian battalions,
under Col. Stratomirovich, were to enter Motene-
gro, because Omer Pasha had refused to confer
with Count Kellner, who had been sent to parley
with him.

FLEXMORE'S BENEFIT.—The renowned Flexmore !
the unequalled buffo-dancer—the inimitable clown—the
rightful and legitimate successor of King Grimaldi—will
take his benefit at the Adelphi Theatre to-morrow (Wed-
nesday) evening. A bumper house may confidently be
anticipated. The public, too, fully appreciate the pow-
ers of the beneciaire, and are, moreover, too certain of
receiving ample value for their money, not to avail them-
selves of the opportunities for a goodnight s entertain-
ment so liberally supplied. That unsurpassed danseuse,
Madlle. Auriol, will contribute her powerful aid in the
celebrated ballet of Esmeralda, in which, as well as in a
copious selection from the highly successful pantomime
of Harlequin Nell Gwynne, the hero of the evening
will exhibit his comprehensive and varied talents. The
original polioenaan's dog will also appear. Not the least
interesting features of the proceedings will be " the
Flexmorian imitations" of Carlotta Grisi, Cerito, Fanny
Elssler, M. Perrot, T. P. Cooke, and Mdlle. Auriol I
Madame Mopstiekiani will probably divide the applause
with the favoured son of Momus on this occasion—the
valuable services of this decsse de dance having been
secured for the occasion at a very high figure. The
ever-Green Bushes and Wigan's admirable farce, A Lucky
Friday, constitute the remainder of the abundant bill of
fare put forward by the clown par excellence of all civi.

PROBATE AND LEGACY DUTIES.

Mr. W. WILLIAMS called the attention of the
house to the injustice of exempting real property from
paying probate and legacy duties, while personal pro-
perty of every description is subjected to the payment of
the said duties ; and moved that, in the opinion of the
house, real property should be made to pay the same
probate and legacy duties as are now payable on per-
sonal property.

TURKEY,

The Augsburg Gazette publishes a letter from
Constantinople stating that the Austrian Govern-
ment has given orders to its consuls in the East to
forbid any more Austrian vessels from proceeding
for the present to Constantinople, and that the
Austrian Lloyds has received orders to withdraw
its steamers from the Levant. The dispatches
from Russia to the Turkish Government were, it is
said, of a very menacing character. The Count de
Leinengen had not, however, quitted Constanti-
nople, and the French Ambassador continued to
have conferences with the Turkish Ministers.

A telegraphic dispatch, dated Vienna, 26th,
says :—" The Count de Leiningeu, who had been
eharged with a diplomatic mission to the Ottoman
Porte relative to the differences between the two
Governments, has returned to Trieste. The Otto-
man Porte has yielded to all the demands and
claims which Austria had made through that dip-
lomatist."

Although this account contradicts all alarming
reports accredited on the Bourse of Vienna, it
meets with general credence.
The message in question was addressed, by tele-
graph, by Comte v. Leinengen himself to the Ca-
binet of the Emperor.
The Austrian troops on march to Croatia have
received counter orders, but the Russian difficulty
has yet to be settled.
Letters from Ragusa, of the 11th, in the Augs-
burg Gazette,
among the M state that there is great disunion
Montenegrin chiefs, and that the Turks
aro at a distance of four leagues from Cettinje. It
was rumoured that three Austrian battalions,
under Col. Stratomirovich, were to enter Motene-
gro, because Omer Pasha had refused to confer
with Count Kellner, who had been sent to parley
with him.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(THIS EVENING.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a place
in Glamorganshire, praying for the Extension of County
Courts ; also, petitions from the Portsmouth and Nor-
wood Literary Institutions, praying for the distribution
of Parliamentary papers.
The Duke of ARGYLL presented several petitions
from different places in Scotland, against the Maynooth
grant.
In answer to the Bishop of MANCHESTER,
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that it was not the
intention of her Majesty's Government to make any
alterationi n the system by which convicts were now sent
to Bermuda and Gibraltar. He was happy, however, to
inform the right rev. prelate that the convicts at those
places would be rapidly placed on the same footing as
those who were confined in prisons. New prisons were
being built for their reception, which were lighted
and ventilated on the new system, and where they would
be under better supervision than in the hulks.
In answer to. Lord CAMPBELL,
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that it was not at
present convenient to say what were the intentions of
her Majesty''s Government with reference to the aboli-
tion of transportation as a secondary punishment, be-
cause there must be a great alteration in the system of
secondary punishments and the prison accommodation
before the Government could come to a final opinion on
the subject. It was his own conviction, however, that
before long it would be necessary, for the good of our
colonies, to bring the punishment of transportation to a
close.

Lord CAMPBELL said he hoped that transporta-
tion would not be abolished, because, as a judge, he
believed that if he sentenced a man to imprisonment for
life it would not produce the same effect as if he sen-
tenced him to transportation for life.
After a few words from the Earl of HARRoWBT,

Lord MONTEAGLE said that if the question of
transportation would be discussed he hoped it would be
in the shape of a bill, and he hoped that they would not
only consider the abolition of transportation, but also
the means of supplying its place, in order that we might
not increase the social evil which we sought to remedy.
After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM and Lord
WHARNCLIFFE,
The subject then dropped.
The Law of Evidence (Scotland) Bill was read a third
time, and passed.
The Bail in Error Bill passed through committee.
RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

The Earl of MALMESBURY rose to move for cer-
tain returns relating to accidents on railways, and to
call the attention of her Majesty's Government to the
subject, and was
London, England, 1853-03-01

SPAIN.

We have received the Madrid journals of the
23d, but they are without interest. -It is said that
General Narvaez has addressed to the Senate a
representation couched in very energetic terms
against the government. The General had de-
manded authorisation to come and take his seat in
the Senate, but his request was refused in the
most peremptory manner.
A letter from Madrid states that the prelimi-
naries of the marriage in contemplation between
the sister of the King of . Spain, Donna Amelia
Felipa, and Prince Adalbert of Bavaria, are far
advanced. The King of Bavaria is expected shortly
in Spain.
A Spanish fleet is announced for the Mediter-
ranean, with orders to touch at Toulon, Naples,
Messina, Malta, Ancona, and Venice.

The weather continues very severe, and rheu-
matic compiaints, colds, and pulmonary affections
are very prevalent in the Spanish capital.

ITALY.

The Sardinian Minister of Finance represents
that the financial state of the island has been
steadily improving during the last few years ; that
it has great abundance of the prime necessaries of
life, exports wines to an enormous amount—olive
oil, corn, and other articles of secondary importance
in large quantities also ; that the working of mines,
which had but lately been introduced, an had pro-
duced but 200,000 kilogrammes of lead in the first
half-year of 1851, had produced upwards of 500,000
kilogrammes in the first half-year of 1852.

The Bede Gazette states that on the 18th the
Austrian Government had a note presented to the
Federal Council, demanding the expulsion of all
political refugees from Ticino, the seizure of the
arms and ammunition intended for the insurgents
of Lombardy, the prosecution of the Ticinese who
have taken a part in the insurrection of Milan,
and, finally, guarantees for the future. To this
note was added a sort of printed address to the
Ticinese, which had been spread about in the can-
ton, inviting them to join the revolt. The answer
of the Federal Council is stated to be that it
will await the report of Colonel Bourgeois before
giving a more explicit answer, that it had ordered
the expulsion of the refugees from Ticino as early
as 1848 ; that it would inquire whether its orders
had been executed ; that it knows of no Ticinese
engaged in the revolt ; that if such there be, the
laws shall be executed against them, and that it
hopes. Austria will revoke the severe measures it
has taken.

The Opinione, of Turin, states that the steamer
which arrived at Genoa from Leghorn, on the 22d,
had brought the very improbable story that several
sailors, belonging to a British corvette, had been
arrested by the Austrians, while on shore, for
crying " Viva l'ltalia." According to one account
they have been given up to the captain of the cor-
vette ; according to another, the captain, after hav-
ing claimed his men in vain from the Austrian
authorities, had set sail for Malta to fetch the fleet
and obtain reparation.
London, England, 1853-03-01

ELECTION

FROME.

7S—••Feb. 28,

In this case the committee came to the following re-
solution :

" That no poll having been demanded on behalf of the
petitioner, or haying taken place, it is not necessary to
proceed further with this inquiry."

BRIDGNORTH.
The learned counsel having concluded their arguments,
the committee came to the following resolution :
"That the application is rejected on the 89th section—
that is, to declare the petition frivolous and vexatious ;
but the committee give expenses in all the alleged cases of
bribery on the list with the exception of Dukes, Head,
Joseph Evans, and Hughes."
A statement having been made by Mr. Whately in the
course of his address that an attempt had been made by
Mr. Cadogan to compromise, Mr. Whitmore and Mr.
Cadogan were examined by the committee.
Mr. Whitmore stated that on Monday night last he
was accosted in the lobby of the house by Mr. Cadogan,
who introduced to him an hon. member whom he did
not know, and had never seen before. The hon. member
told him that he had a proposition to, make to him on
behalf of Mr. Cadogan ; it was to the effect that if he,
Mr. Whitmore, would undertake that at the next
vacancy for Bridgnorth the Whitmore interest should
not be used against Mr. Cadogan, or any of his party, he
(Mr. Cadogan) would withdraw the petition against Mr.
Whitmore. He (Mr. Whitmore) refused to accede to
this proposal.
Mr. Cadogan stated that he had desired the hon.
member in question to endeavour to come to some ar-
rangement with Mr. Whitmore, with regard to the
representation of Bridgnorth, by which the seats for the
future would be held by a Conservative and a Liberal
party, but he had never authoriSed any proposal to be
made to withdraw the petition against Mr. Whitmore.
The room was then cleared, but the committee did not
come to any resolution on the subject.
The proceedings then terminated.
London, England, 1853-03-01

CAMBRIDGE.

The examination of witnesses was continued all day,
The last witness examined was— . .

John Lee, who said—•l am a tailor at Cambridge.
I was canvassed for my vote at the last election by
both parties, but I would not promise. On the nomination
day, I met a man named Peake, who is a broker in
Cambridge, who told me that I might get 81. or 101. for
my vote if I liked. I went with him to Macaulay's
committee-room, where I saw Butler Berry. He told
me there would be no " tin" to-night—(a laugh)—but I
must vote in the morning, and then I should have it.
Next morning I saw Peake, and he said that as Macau-
lay was going to win, they were not very particular
about my vote, but they didn't mind giving me 21. for it.
I said I wouldn't take it, but after some discussion he
agreed to give me 81. I went to the poll, and while I voted
for Macaulay he put 71. in the hands of my broker, because
he said he was " dubersome "of me. (A laugh.) After
I had voted I took the 71. It was agreed I should take
11. out in articles of furniture from Peake, who was in

that way. I took a dressing table, and some chairs, and
a glass, which, altogether came to 11. Os. 6d. I paid
him, and he gave me a receipt.
The committee adjourned at 4 o'clock until to-morrow
at 11.
London, England, 1853-03-01

CLITHEROE.

In addition to the resolutions reported in our first
edition of yesterday, the committee also came to the
following resolutions :

" That it was proved that Henry Taylor was bribed with
the payment of 301.
" That extensive and systematic treating, together with
other corrupt and illegal practices, prevailed at the last
election for the said borough.
" That violent and tumultuous proceedings appear to
have taken place at the said election ; and that hired bands
of men, armed with sticks and bludgeons, were introduced
into the said town for purposes of undno influence and
intimidation." _ . .

Mr. Sergeant Wrangham applied to have the opposition
to the petition declared frivolous and vexatious; but the
chairman said there was no chance of the committee
acceding. The learned counsel then withdrew the appli-
cation, and the proceedings terminated.

TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF DONCASTER PARISH CHURCH
By Film—Yesterday morning, about ono o'clock, the
fine old parish church of Doncaster was discovered to be
on fire, and in spite of every exertion, such was the ra-
pidity of the flames, the edifice, which is one of the
finest specimens of the perpendicular style of architec-
ture, was totally destroyed in the short space of three
hours. The origin of the fire has not been ascertained
at present, but an inquiry has been already commenced.
The value of the property destroyed is estimated at
100,0001., the church having been very recently entirely
refitted in the interior.

abstract to be prepared, showing the receipt and expendi-
ture under this act for the preceding year, under the

accounts, and also a summary statement and report of all
contracts entered into by the commissioners in such pre-
ceding year, and of the monies owing to and debts owing

ance they had invariably afforded to him in the prose-
cution of the arduous work in which he had been engaged.

of, the Commissioners adjourned until this day.

NORWICH ELECTION,

Mr. T. IYUNCOMBE moved the appointment of a
select committee to inquire into the circumstances under
which the petitions against the return of the sitting
members for the city of Norwich have been withdrawn ;
and that the petitions presented to this house upon the
24th day of February be referred to the said committee.
Mr. WARNER said he had no objection to the ap-
pointment of the committee, but he thought it right to
state that no compromise had ever been offered to him,
and that if it had, it would have been indignantly re-
jected.

REFORM IN THEinAfil:lng`rup
On the motion for going into committee of
Mr. HUME complained that,
colonelships in the army, the Government had
tended to the recommendations of the committee of 18:
of giving tlmse appointments as a reward to distinguished
and experienced military officers, and not
.to persons who
were not possessed of the requisite qualifications. 11,,
found that both Prince Albert and the Duke of Cara-

bridge had been appointed to colonelships, though neither
of them had any claim on the military service
of the country, and though they were both liberally en-
dowed by Parlianient. The hon. member also called
attention to the various other reforms suggested by the
report of 1847, such as making the Secretary-at-War a
Cabinet Minister, and placing him in a more responsible
position, and dividing the civil and military duties of the
ordnance among two distinct departments. The way in
which the affairs of the army were controlled was extremely
anomalous, and he thought that when 3,000,0001. was
about to be voted away for its maintenance, the Govern-
ment ought to see whether some improvement could not
be introduced. He hoped some member of the Govern-
ment would state whether it was their intention to carry
out the recommendations of the committee he had
alluded to.

Mr. S. HERBERT said the question was so large a
one, and required so much consideration, that he could
not undertake to give any pledge as to what the inten-
tions of the Government were on this subject.
Mr. E. ELLICE, as a member of the committee of
1847, bore testimony to the great reforms which they
had succeeded in effecting in the army estimates, and
said the result of their labours was to be seen in the faci-

lity with which they now passed through the house.
He thought that if some responsible government and
control over the military expenditure was not established,
it would be vain to expect those reforms and retrench-
ments which the public demanded.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in al-
lusion to some observations made by Mr. Ellice with re-
spect to the army in the colonies said, he admitted that
the principal hope of any reduction in the national ex-
penditure depended on the measures which would have to
be taken with regard to our colonial policy, and he should
bo sorry if it were supposed that the Government felt any
indifference on that subject. (Hear.)
