THE RATIONAL TREATMENT of STRIC-
TURES of the URETHRA, in all their varieties and compli-
cations. With practical observations on the use and abuse of instru-
ments in the treatment of urethral diseases, showing that the unne-
cessary employment of instruments is a frequent exciting cause of
stricture, and that a want of practical knowledge and manual dex-
terity in their use, when necessary, is the source of most of the se-
vere, long-protracted, and complicated cases of that disorder so fa-
tally prevalent,
By F. B. COURTENA
" The operation of introducing a catheter through an impermeable
stricture is, without doubt, the most difficult in the whole range of
surgical operations, and demands all the prudence, science, and skill
of a master. The art can only be acquired, and that gradually, by
frequenl practice."—Liston's Operative Surgery.

DEATH FROM A "COUP DE SoLEm."—Yesterday
morning, about eleven o'clock, an elderly gentleman of
respectable appearance, crossing the fields from Bromley
to Lewisham, was observed to stagger and fall to the
ground by some labourers, who instantly hastened to his
assistance. Finding him in a state of insensibility, they
at once conveyed him into the town of Lewisham,
where, upon meeical examination, he was found to be
dead, having sustained a coup de soled, or sun stroke.
On the body, which is that of a person about sixty, was
found 12s. 71d. in money, and other valuables. It now
lies in Lewisham workhouse for identification, and a
coroner's inquest.

SELF-INCARCERATION.—The first person confined
in the Plymouth New Prison was a woman, who went
there from curiosity on Sunday week last; while alone,
examining one of the cells, the door was unexpectedly
closed, and, being furnished with a spring lock, she could
not open it again. There were no official persons
in the building, neither could the party possessing the
key bo found till late in the evening. The woman was
thus confined from three o'clock in the afternoon until
ten at night.—

" 1. The troops of such States of which the Go-
vernment refuse to recognise the legality of the Par-
liament and of its resolutions shall be freed from their
equivocal and painful condition, either by being
sworn to the Constitution, or by being removed from
the territories of the States which remain faithful to
the Constitution."

" 2. The Parliament expects the Regent's Cabinet
will favour them to-morrow with a definitive declara-
tion on the above subject."
The House then adjourned to the following day,

PRUSSIA.

An insurrection has broken out in the diotrict of the
Moselle. Several arrests have taken place in Berlin.
An army is collecting at Erfurt, in which city it
is intended to convene the new German Parliament.
The Cologne Gazette publishes the following let-
ter from Berlin of the 22d :—" Official intelligenca
has arrived here that the Russian fleet has sailed
from Cronstadt to protect the integrity of Denmark,
and, under that appearance, with hostile intentions
towards Prussia. The official note on the matter is
of great length, and declares positively that the occu-
pation of J utland causes the question of Schleswig-
Holstein to become an European one, and to be parti-
cularly interesting to Russia, It strongly blames the
conduct of Prussia in the affair, and intimates that if
the Prussian Cabinet shall not immediately evacuate
Jutland, amicable relations between Prussia and
Russia cannot be maintained. The Prussian Cabi-
net has sent off General RAUCH to the Emperor of
Russra, to assure him that it only makes war against
Denmark by order of the Central Government, and
that it will employ its efforts to bring about peace.

BAVARIA.
A Provisional Government has been proclaimed at
Spire in the Bavarian Palatinate on the 22d. In the
evening it received a deputation from Alsace, which
expressed the sympathies of the French people, and
offered if necessary energetic assistance.
It appears that it is not true that, as announced by
a Frankfort journal, the Bavarian Chambers have
been dissolved; but the dissolution is considered in-
evitable. On the 21st the Chamber of Deputies
adopted, by 72 votes to 62, an address containing a
declaration of want of confidence in the Ministry, for
their recent declarations on the German question.

transactions, on pain of arrest and trial according to
the forms of mixed tribunals (das kriegs rechtlzche
verfahren).
A heap of confiscated KOSSUTH notes were publicly
burnt at Presburg on the 16th.
It was rutnoured in Vienna on the 19th that the
Russians had entered Hermanstadt after a desperate
battle with a portion of BEM's army at Bistritz, in
which it is said that 10,000 of the Hungarian troops
laid down their arms. No credit, however, can be
attached to the rumour.
London, England, 1849-07-25

AUSTRIA.

Accounts have been received from Vienna to
the 19th inst.

On the 15th a desperate battle was fought at
Waitzen, between the Russians, commanded by
Paskewitch, and the Hungarians, under Georgey, in
which the former were defeated.
The Wiener Zeitung admits that the Russians
were compelled to retreat to Duna Keesh ; and it
was believed that they had been driven back to K!.-
kosh plain, and that Georgey had succeeded in
breaking through the lines and marching to the north,
and effecting his junction with the main army.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, July 24.
Lord REDESDALE presented a petition against the
London Corporation Bill.
The Bishop of HEREFORD presented a number of
petitions from the Clergy of his Diocese, praying for a
measure to provide religious instruction to the children
of persons receiving out-door relief.
The Boroughs Relief Bill passed through committee.
Sveral other Bills were advanced a stage, among
which were the second reading of the House of Com-
mons Official Offices Bill, the committal of the Joint-
stock Company Bill, the third reading of the Highway
Rites Bill, and the committal of the Petty Bag Office
Bill.

Lord REDESDALE objected to a clause in the last
Bill, on the ground that it tended to increase public
expense, by raising the ealaries of clerks in the Poit-
office.

Lord CAMPBELL assured the Noble Lord that the
clause had no such tendency, and that it' he had any
apprehensions on that head, he would write to Lord
Langdale on the subject, and inform the Noble Lord
(Lord Redesdale) with that Noblo Lord's opinion.—
(Hear, hear.) lie therefore hoped that the Noble Lord
would not oppose the committal of the Bill, as he would
have time and room to offer any opposition he might
thick proper, when the Bill was brought on for a third
reading. . .

This proposition was agreed to, and the Bill was
committed.

The Small Debts Amendment Bill was then corn
mitted; and several other 81113 were advanced aptage.

THE BUSINESS OF THE SESSION.
Lord STANLEY said that they were at present within
three or four dtys of the termination of the session, and
now, on the 24th day of July, many important Bills
came up to their Lordships' House from the Commons.
They had before them several important measures—
some to be read a first time, and others to be considered
in Committee. There were the Dublin Thitine; Bill, the
Poor Law Charges Act Ameniment Bill, the Pavilien
at
Brighton Bill; ell of these he conceived might lJt.g-itice
have been brought under the censideration of their Lord-
' ships. There then was anothir Bill which had been
most unreasonably delayed. He meant the Pilotage
Bill, which was a matt( r of very serious important ,
atlleting our treaties with foreign powers. It was a Bill
the iaiportane4 of which c
.;uld hardly- he exaggerated,
and yct it had thus been dela) ed till the very cltise of the
session without there being the least mees:-iity for any
arch postponement. They had that (ley gone through he

AUSTRALIAN EMIGRAN rs._

In answer to a question from Mr. MONSELL, rela-
tive to the treatment of emigrants going from Ireland to
Australia,

Mr. HAWES said that active measures had been
taken by the Commissioners of Emigration to
restore the proportion between the numbers of
emigrants going from Ireland to Australia, which of
late years, as compared with former years, had been
grea!ly disproportioned. With respect to the statement
that certain female emigrants had been ill-treated by the
officers of a ship
by which they were being conveyed.
from Ireland to Australia,h the case had been investi-
gsel at Sydney, and the re-
gated on the arrival of t
sult was that the owners eve
had been fined 5001.—(Hear.)
AFFRAY AT CASTLEIVELLAN..
Mr. BRIGHT asked the Secretary f
Home Department a question relative too State for the
the fatal affray
which had recently occurred at Casti ewellan, namely,;
whether he could in this session bring in a Processions'
Act, with a view of putting an end to similar disgraceful
prn'eedings in future?
Sir GEORGE GREY said, without stating what the
intentions of the Government might eventually be as to
framing a Processions' Act for Ireland, he could only say
that for the present they rmant to rely on the common
law of the land, which they thought amply sufficient for
repressing such outrages. He had also to state that the
Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland bad instituted an inquiry
into all the circumstances connected with the fatal affray
at Dolley's Brae, which inquiry was to be carried on by
Mr. Bennett, an eminent Queen's Counsel in Ireland.

ITALY.

The Roman Journal, of the 14th instant., publishes
the following document:—
PROCLAMATION.

6‘ Romans,—Since our entrance into your city incon-
testable proofs of sympathy, and numerous addresses,
have convinced us that the city of Rome only awaited the
momeat it should be delivered from a regimen of oppres-
sion and anarchy, to manifest anew its loyalty and gra-
titude towards the generous Pontiff, to whom it is in-
debted for its first liberties. Those sentiments have never
been questioned by France. By restoring to-day in the
capital of the Christian world the temporal sovereignty
of the Chief of the Church, she has realised the ardent
wishes of the Catholic community. Immediately on his
accession to the supreme dignity, the illustrious Pius
IX. made known to his people the liberal sentiments
which animated him. The Sovereign Pontiff appre-
ciates] your desires and wants. France knows it. Your
confidence shall not be deceived.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO
GLASGOW.

We stated on Thursday that communications had
been received in the city which rendered it all but
certain that the Queen wtould honour Glasgow with a
visit on her progress from Ireland to Balmoral. It
was not without strong grounds that we held out
dads gratifying prospect to the hopes of the citizens.
ContempoPuries of yesterday attempted to discredit
our announcement, on the authority of " an officer on
board her Majesty's yacht at Cowes"—a most un-
likely quarter to receive any reliable information on a
point of this nature. Our contemporaries might as well
leave applied to the royal coachmen and grooms. We
are happy to be able so soon to place her Majesty's in-
tention beyond all further doubt, by printing the follow-
ing letter, which was received from the Home Office by
our worthy Lord Provost yesterday (Friday) afternoon:—
" Whitehall, July 19,1849.
" My Lord,—l have the honour to acknowledge the
receipt of your Lordship's letter of the 13th inst.
" I have much satisfaction in informing your Lord-
ship that her Majesty has intimated her intention of
•isiting the city of Glasgow, on her route from Ireland
to Balmoral; and I will take care that your Lordship
shall receive due notice of the probable period of her
arrival.
"I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's
obedient servant, "G. GREY.
" The Lord Provost of Glasgow."
Now that the gracious intention of the Queen is fully
known, we need hardly say that every arrangement will
be made to give her Majesty a reception worthy of the
second city in the empiro.—Glasgow Mail.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION.—We are glad to find that
the arrangements for the reception of the Association for
the Advancement of Science are now nearly completed,
and that they are in every respect worthy of the distin-
guished body for whose accommodation they are in-
tended. The exhibition-room, in Broad street, is now
finished, and is certainly a very spacious and suitable
erection, containing, as it does, an area of 2,000 square
feet, and having a great number of windows from top to
bottom. The facilities afforded by the governors of the
Free Grammar School, by the appropriation of their
rooms, will also be of infinite a:lventage to the com-
mittee. The evenings to be set aplrt for popular scien•
ti'ic addresses, soirees, &c., have also been decided up.m.
Professor Phillips, F.R.S., assistant general secretary,
ht s recently visited the town, and expressed himself
highly pleased with the arrangements which have been
made by the committee. We may add that nearly
2,000/. are EOW at the disposal of the committee towards
the liquidation Of the expenses.--Birmingham Gazette.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

Lord DUDLEY STUART asked the Noble Lord the
Secretary for Foreign Affairs if it was true, 'as was
stated in some of the continental journals, that in conse-
quence of an arrangement come to between the Govern-
ments of Franco and Austria, the trot ps of France were
to be sent to replace the troops of Austria serving in the
Austrian Cominions, in order to the latter to pro-
secute the war against Hungary ?
Lord PALIIERSTON said no information had
reached him relative to the circumstance adverted to by
the Noble Lord, and he bad reason to suppose there was
no foundation for such a report.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

enclose five shillings, and beg you to hand
them to the Committee employed in assisting the refugee
Hungarian Hussars, as the subscription of a " Canny
Scot."

I am sure that the present struggle of Hungary with
Austria and Russia must forcibly remind all true Scotch-
men of the days of the " wight Wallace," and—
" At Wallace's name, what Scottish blood
But boils up in a springtide flood ?
Oft have our fearless fathers strode
By Wallace's side,
Still pressing onward red-wat shod,
Or glorious died."
Wallace, and "the Bruce of Bannockburn" saved their
country from the oppressor, and though hundreds of
years have pass( d on since they died, the influence of their
work still survives. Our ancient oppressors have be-
come inseparable brethren, and our fatherland shares in
the renown of England. Animated by the feelings
with which the recollection of these things fill the soul,
we cannot but rejoice at every successful blow dealt
by the Magyars on the heads of their oppressors . We
cannot but hope and pray to God that their armies may
coninue to " stand a wall of fire around their much
loved land," and preserve its ancient liberty and glory
for the generations to come. So shall those generations
cherish the memory of the hero whose breath has
kindled and blown that fire, till now it shines out and
attracts the eyes of all Europe. Thou brave Kossuth !
the story of thy life shall, in times to come, be inter-
woven with the lessons of boyhood, and the recognition
of thy worth shall be a psalm and a song.
I am, Sir, etc.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

HOUSE OF LORDS, July 24.

Their Lordships met at Five o'clock.
REGIMENTAL BENEFIT SOCIETIES' BILL.
The Duke of WELLINGTON moved the second
reading of this Bill, and in so doing expressed his ap-
proval of the objects of the Bill, and entered into a his-
tory of the foundation and progress of those societies in
various regiments. The former constitution of these so-
cieties had cccasioned great inconveniences in the army,
and there had been several commissions issued to ascertain
the constitution of, and the claims on various of these
societies in different regiments, and to make such a dis-
tribution of the funds as might be equitable. The ob-
ject of this Bill was to lay down such general principles
for the distribution of those funds as should give general
satisfaction to the various corps who were interested in
them, so as to enable some decision to be come
to as to the claims on the fund. This Bill
appointed certain commissioners for this purpose, and the
commissioners were the Secretary-at-War, the Secre-
tary to the Treasury, and the Commander-in-Chief.
The Bill was then read a second time and ordered to
be committed to-morrow.
LANDS IMPROVEMENTS (IRELAND) BILL.
This Bill passed through Committee.
LABOURING POOR ACT BILL.
On the motion of the Marquis of CLANRICARDE,
this Bill passed through Committee.
POST (COLONIES) BILL.
This Bill passed through the Committee, on the motion
of the Marquis of CLANRICARDE.
MARRIAGE ACT AMENDMENT BILL.
Lord REDESDALE presented a petition against this
Bill.
Lord CAMPBELL took the opportunity of expressing
his delight at the withdrawal in the other House of Par-
liament of the Bill authorising the marriage of a
widower with his deceased sister's wife.—(Hear, hear.)
Had the Bill come up to their Lordships' House he
should have felt it his duty to offer it his most strenuous
opposition, as he considered it a measure contrary to
morality and to good policy.
The Earl of MINTO denied that his Noble and,
Learned Friend, on this subject, represented the opi-
nions of the people of Scotland in regard to this mea-
sure.

Lord CAMPBELL had never pretended to represent
the opinions of the people of Scotland on this subject,
but at the same time he must express his belief that the
great majority of the people of Scotland were opposed to
this Bill.
POOR-LAW (IRELAND) BILL.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved the third
reading of this Bill, and in so doing proposed certain
verbal amendments, which, after a short discussion, were
agreed to, and the Bill was read a third time and passed.
