The object of this Company is the working of a large tract of coal
land in. Virginia (10,000 acres), near the Kanawha River, a navi-
gable tributary of the Ohio, and convenient to all the great
Western 'markets. .

A charter has been obtained from the Virginia State Legislature
for working this Company, and the lands purchased in " fee simple,"
so that no liability will be attached to the shareholders beyond the
amount of subscribed shares.

The quantity of workable coal above water level on this property
is estimated by Professor A nsted (who has 1-tely returned from a
Special mission to the district), at 55,003 tons per acre. The de-
mand far exceeds the supply, and the markets are easily ap-
proached by good river navigation.
The cost of' working these mines, and carrying the coal to market,
has been carefully calculated by ProfessorAnsted, showing that on
the Kanawha it can be put on board the boats at 3s. per ton, be
stored in depots on the Ohio at about Cs. per ton, and delivered at Ne
Orleans at less than 9s. Gd. per ton, and at the lowest market price
will realise 25 per cent on the company's capital.
Prospectuses, together with detailed reports of the property, can be
obtained at the brokers, and at the offices, No, 30, Bucklersbury.
Applications for shares, in the usu form, to be addressed to the
Secretary, or to thi Brokers of tin Company.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that ho has addressed himself to the nos-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
rower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We oromised in a former number that we should recur to this
worst, in order to exhibit its aim snore clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of Quiet Symathisers:
and Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who stiffer fr.m th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many h mdreds would
be saved much needless suffering (d body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which tivs quacks most prize—
much money --This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrlicea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, Juno 16, 1852.

THE CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Princi•
pies at once Simple, Safe, and Efficient, in even Its most Inveterate
and apparently Intractable Forms.
BY F. B. COURTENAY,

Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
"7n proot of his views he (Mr. Courtonay) has given
the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., ail.' and xviii. No. ix. had res'sted, for a
prriod of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
re moved in as many weeks.' But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
in duraticn, 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 SucCes3ful."
