THE RATIONAL TREATMENT of STRIC-

'vents 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. COURTEICAT, If.R.C.S.E.,
" The operation of introducing a catheter through an impermeable
stricture is. without doubt, the most difficult In the whole rang* of
surgical operations, and demands all the prudence, science, and skill
if a master. The art can only be acquired, and that gradually, by
frequent practice."—Liston's Operative Surgery.

THE NATURAL and UNNATURAL STYLE.
If you wish to excel, study nature ; this is particularly appli-
cable in making ornamental hair, as unless the previous way of wear-
ing it is imitated, so complete a transformation takes place, that as
Byron says—" A mother would net know her son." ROSS and SONS
having succeeded beyond all calculation in producing perfect imita-
tions •t nature, have given the name •f the Invisible Ventilating
Head of Hair to their productions. and are enabled to offer them to
both I adies and Gentlemen. from one guirea and a half upwards.
They likewise present an infallible mode of measuring, viz. :—The
round of the head ; from ear to ear across • he rise of the head ; from
forehead to pole ; the measure to be taken w,th a piece of tape. and a
small lock of hair enclosed, which will be closely matched, both
in colour and quality. .

THE NICOLL—REGENT-STREET and

" Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expressed is fancy—rich, not gaudy ;
For the aparel oft proclaims the matt."
THE spirit and meaning-of the above quotation
may with justice be applied to The NICOLL, a patented
Pnletot or outer coat, adapted for a variable climate, by means
of a novel and most ingenious contrivance, whereby it can be
converted at pleasure from a warm to a light garment, or vice
versa. The wearer's personal appearance is moreover im-
proved, and he possesses a most gentlemanly and graceful gar-
ment tbr either cold or warm weather; not only this, but the inner
lining, when detached, can be worn alone, and fermi a most corn-
rot ta. le reading or. dressim‘Jacket ; and though the tout ensemble is
rich in quality, yet it retains a moderate cost, such varying from one
and a half to three and a half guineas, but can be had in London
only of the Patentees, H. J. and It:NICOLL, 114, 116, 120, RE-
GENT-STREET, and 22, CORNHILL.

FOREIGN WOOLS.—" At the recent Wool
Sales, the whole of certain qualities if Foreign Wools, after
some competition, were nurcha.sed for Messrs. Nicoll, the extensive
Woollen Drapers and Clothiers of Regent-street and Cornhill. They
are all marked tor Gloucestershire, as in that county the mills are
situated wherein the raw material will be converted into the beau-
tiful fabric known as Ilse Nicollian Cloth, a species of manufacture
introduced by the firm from whom it derives its lama"—The Sun.
WOOLLEN BUYERS and CONSUMERS are reminded that
Messrs. NICOLL were the first, and continue to be the only, house
in the United Kingdom that ever offered to the buyer and consumer,
for cash payments, the saving of all the several profits of the In-
termediate grades that continue to exist between the wool growers
and themselves. As will he shown by the above extract from one of the
public journals, the wool used in the manufacture of the Nicollian Cloth
does not leave Messrs. N.'s possession until It is produced in the piece
ready for sale, either by their Agents, or themselves at !the Whole-
sale Warehouse, 120, REGENT-STREET, and afterwards when
made up into the fashionable and Patented garments known as the

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
HULL, Faa. 27.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states—The actual
business transacted during the past week has been trifling,
though holders have shown more disposition to meet the
declining market. For this day's market our farmers brought
a fair supply of wheat, which only met a dull sale at about the
currency of last week for the finest samples, while inferior
qualities were quite neglected. Foreign wheat only dull sale,
even for the best runs of Red, which are com-
paratively scarce; the market generally is Is. per qr. lower.
Without much English barley offering, there was a good
show of Foreign, the greater portion fresh imported Saale,
which on the whole only met dull sale. There has been more
business doing this week in feeding barleys—the low price
attracting speculators. The best samples of beans
obtain our quotations, but secondary qualities are
neglected. No change in peas. A little more business
has been passing in oats, but we do not alter
our quotations. The linseed market remains unaltered, with
a good market for oil, but reduced terms for cake, which is
now obtainable on very low terms. No transactions in rape-
seed, but cakes fetch our quotations. Nothing of consequence
passing in hones.

day, without a reduction of Is per quarter for all below Ane.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, Fan. 27.—The supplies from Ire-
land and coastwise during the past week comprised moderate
quantities of malt, eats, and oatmeal, but trifling of all other
articles. From foreign ports they were small of wheat, con-
siderable of Egyptian beans and American Indian corn, and
moderate of flour ; the exports being 1,989 quarters of wheat,
7,572 quarters of Indian corn, 746 barrels of corn-meal, 379
sacks and 4,530' barrels of flour. The weather was mild and
changeable until the close of the week, and on the whole
luxuriancet, which may prove
days
of the autumn-
sown wheat. The trade has been extremely quiet, and few
favourable for agricultural operations, which are progressing
beneficialwe in checking rapidly ; and a larger breadth of land than usual appears likely
to be put under culture in this district. In the past three
have had
disomthee
oversha rp frost,
transactions of moment have been reported. The finer
descriptions of wheat, owing to the imports for the present
having ceased, maintain their value, while all other descrip-
tions being still offering ex ship, were easier to purchase. Flour
was held with rather more firmness, but few sales were effected.
There was more inquiry for Indian corn, yet prices were 6d to
Is per 480 lbs lower, 28s being taken for white, and 29s to 30s
for yellow. For all other articles the demand was so limited
that prices may be considered nominal. At this day's market
there was a good attendance of dealers, and a better tone per-
vaded the trade generally. The finer descriptions of wheat
supported previous rates, and midding kinds recovered the de-
pression of Friday, with a better and more general demand.
There was a very slow sale for oats and oatmeal, without any
change in prices. Barley, beans, and peas could only be moved
off in retail quantities, but there was no alteration in value.
Indian corn and corn meal were only in moderate request, and
our extreme quotations could not be easily realised. There
was more inquiry for flour, and without any material change
in prices, sellers had a slight advantage.
LEEDS, Fan. 27.—We continue to have small supplies of
grain. The lattle wheat offering is cleared off at last week's
prices. The finest barley fully maintains its price, but other
qualities are difficult to dispose of. Oats and beans support
their value.
