NEW AND SUCCESSFUL OPERATION FOR
Aistruitisst.—An operation in a very serious and almost hope-
less case of aneurism was lately successfully performed by Mr.
Skey, of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, in the presence of Sir
Benjamin Brodie and other eminent surgeons, the result of
which has been much talked of in medical circles. The gentle-
man who was the subject of the operation is' the Rev. D.
Pretyman, Rector of Middleton, in Oxfordshire ; and the
aneurism to be removed (which may be popularly described
as the formation of a dangerous sac upon the blood-
vessel) was situated on the sub-clavian artery, a fearful
locality. Ordinarily, an operation of this nature occupies
from thirty minutes to an hour, the result being in the
majority of cases fatal, in consequence of great loss of
blood and total prostration of animal vigour. In the pre-
sent instance the operation was performed in ten minutes,
and. the loss of blood was only two ounces, circumstances
which are due to an entirely novel method of
.performing it.
Mr. Skey conducted the operation by first making an incision
in the neck downwards, above the clavicle, the muscular fibre
being afterwards, gradually divided (slit) by a silver knife,
until the seat of the disease was reached, and the aneurism
removed. This mode of performing the operation is to be
looked upon as a great step in surgery, the ordinary method of
making the incision in the lower part of the neck, and di-
viding the carotid veins and artery, exposing the patient to
the serious evils previously mentioned. So unexpected was
the recovery of the Rev. Mr. Pretyman that on his arrival at
the recteonreythehobleidllasym:ere set ringing, and the parishioners
made
DESTRUCTIVE FlRE.—This morning, at a
quarter before nine o'clock, the manufactory of Mr. Turner,
No. 46, Myddleton-street, floor-cloth and table-cover manu-
facturer, caught fire. The men in the employment of Mr.
Turner had left a quarter of an hour before the conflagration
broke cut, end there was then no appearance of fire. When
the flames were discovered they were issuing from the drying-
room, in which was a flue, and the calamity is ascribed to
that being overheated. Information was promptly sent to the
station-house of the G division in Rosamon-street, when a
policeman was sent off in a cab to the different fire-engine sta-
tions, and in about a quarter of an hour five or six engines
were at the spot, with Mr. Braidwood, their superintendent ;
but by the time they had reached there the extensive manu-
fatto, y was in a blaze, and nearly the whole of the property
consumed. By the great exertion of the firemen the flames
were prevented from extending to the adjoining houses.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CiTy.— Among
the many improvements making, besides the Royal Exchange,
is the extension of the Blackwall Railway from the Minories
to Fenchurch-street, where will shortly be the principal en-
trance. The property pulled down to effect this object is very
considerable, as many large shops in the Minories, and exten-
sive mercantile premises will be purchased and pulled down ;
hundreds of men are employed day and night building the
-foundation, over which will pass the iron viaducts up to Fen-
church-street, crossing Where Gould-square once stood,
Coopers-row, CrutchedFriars,passing the East India warehouses.
At the top of the Minories and Aldgate the houses ate im-
mediately to be pulled down for the City improvements leading
to Bishopsgate and the north-western parts of the metropolis,
