MR. COBDEN IN GENOA.

GENOA, JAN. 17.—Mr. Cobden has been here for
some days, and his presence has excited much sensation
among the English and Genoese also. It was early de-
termined to follow the example set by so many other
cities which he has visited, and invite him to a public
dinner, which took place on Saturday last. A very re-
spectable party was mustered on the occasion, consider.
ing the comparatively few English residents here, and
also the character of the Genoese merchants in general,
who, inheriting from a long line of ancestors sad prede-
cessors the same narrow monopolising spirit of gain,
feel little sympathy for a cause and system which
would promote a more general participation in com-
mercial advantages. The company, however, sat
down to the number of about sixty•five, to a very
showy Italian dinner in the splendid salle a wager of
the Hotel Feder, at which hock and champagne Llowt d
in abundance. The Marchese Alezio, a man well known
in Italy for his patriotic liberality and literary talents,
presided, having on his right Mr. Cobden, and on either
side, the Marchese Balbi and his brother, the Marchese
Raggi, &c., and the English, French, Spanish, Belgian,
and other Consuls, with a number of the richest and
most influential Genoese merchants, the English bring-
ing up all their forces. After the usual loyal and
patriotic toasts, the French Consul, in a speech of great
eloquence and warmth, proposed—" The Health of Mr.
Cobden." Some surprise was expressed at hearing the
seepresentative of a nation whose predilections in favour
of freedom of commerce are, at all events, very recent,
thus so openly.and publicly eulogise and advocate its
cause and principles. The toast being drunk with accla-
mation, Mr. Cobden rose to reply:—
" Gentlemen—Let me beg of you to accept my warmest
thanks for this kind and hospitable reception, and still
more, let me thank you for the sympathy you have ex-
pressed for the principles with which my name has been
associated. The free-traders in England have only had
one object in view—the removal of those restrictions
which impede the progress of commercial intercourse
between the different nations of the earth. We never
entered upon the' field of party politics ; we abstained
from all interference with the forms of Government ;
we confined ourselves strictly to a question of economical
science, which affects equally the prosperity and happi-
ness of every nation, whatever be its form of Govern•
meat. For where is a Government that is not in-
terested in ruling over a rich, flourishing, and con-
tented people ? I look for the progress of free-trade
in all countries, because it will promote alike the in-
terests of the governors and the governed. There is a
great lesson to be learned by Governments—a lesson as
yet learned by but two nations—which will teach them
how to increase their revenues by lessening their cus-
toms duties, a process which augments the population,
wealth, and commerce of a nation, and thus increases its
ability to contribute to the revenue of the State. I will
give you a fact or two in Illustration of what I mean.
The United States of America enjoy probably the most
moderate tariff in the world. In that country nine-
tenths of the revenue is derived from the customs. In
Eeglanel, where for the last quarter of a century we have
been marching in the path of free trade, one-third of our
enormous income is yielded by the customs. In France
--which has yet to take the first step in the reform of
its tariff—one-tenth only of the taxes is raised from this
source. And in ;Spain, where the restrictive system
reins, supreme, so small a fraction as one-thirteenth of
the revenue is all that is raised at the custom-house. If
I were to take other countries I could show, that in
proportion as they depart from the principles of free
trade, they diminish the resources of their treasury.
Seeing, then, that the interests of the Governments and
the people are identical in this matter, 4 feel confident
in the extension of sound commercial principles every-
where. I need not remind you, gentlemen, that the
removal of commercial restrictions must promote the
interests of Genoa. Nature has given you a deep and
capacious port in a sea that is not famous for good
harbours. Your merchants possess capital and enter-
prise, your sailors have always been renowned for their
courage, sobriety, and perseverance. Ido not forget
that from amongst them sprung that great and daring
genius who sailed upon the discovery of a new world.
You have all the elements of commercial greatness,
and require only free scope for your energies to
achieve the highest prosperity for your beautiful city—
a prosperity which will be durable, because it is based
upon principles of justice and humanity.
At the conclusion of his address Mr. Cobden proposed
—" Prosperity to the City of Genoa"—to which, after
waiting in vain for some Genoese merchant to rise, the
Marchese Balbi replied in a short and appropriate
speech.
The company separated about nine o'clock, and Mr.
Cobden,
,with his wife, is proceeding immediately to
Leghorn and Rome.
It is suspected that Mr. Cobden was obliged to sub-
mit his speech to the authorities before he could deliver
it. It will be observed how guarded and restricted it
is in tone.

TnE CASARIAN OPERATION.—The subject of this
case, a dress-maker, aged s 7, of a mild disposition, is only
four feet one inch in height on account of great distortion of
the pelvis and lower limbs from rickets during childhood.
Her general health is good. On the evening of the 7th of
April, 1846, while under temporary excitement, she had con-
nexion once with a young man lodging in the same house.
She was not aware of being pregnant until the seventh
month, when she consulted a surgeon, who, conscious of her
dangerous position, sent her to Mr. Skey, under whose care
she was admitted into St. Bartholomew's Hospital. An ac-
curate examination was then made by several distinguished
accoucheurs, who were unanimous in their opinion that em-
bryotomy would be impracticable on account of the extreme
narrowness of the antero-posterior diameter of the pelvis. It
was, therefore, recommended no operative proceeding should
be adopted until the full period of utero-gestation ; and that
the C*sarian section would then be the moat proper measure.
The nature of the case being fairly and fully explained to
the patient, she readily consented to undergo any operation
which offered the best chance of relief. At two o'clock in
the morning of the 25th of January she was awakened from
sleep by the commencement of labour. The membranes
gave way soon afterwards, and the pains increased.
Mr. Skey, with several accoucheurs, made an examina-
tion per vaginam at half-past four a.m. The os uteri was at
that time very little dilated. A second examination was
made at half-past seven o'clock. The os uteri was still in
the same condition, but the labour pains were rapidly in-
creasing. The operation was therefore no longer delayed.
The vapour of ether was inhaled by the patient for six
minutes before its affects were manifest, an incision eight
inches in length was made down to the linen alba, commenc-
ing two inches above the umbilicus, and terminating two
inches and a half above the pubes. The lines alba was then
divided to the same extent on a broad director. The uterus
was fairly exposed, inclining to the left. Adequate pressure
over the front and sides of the abdomen was neces-
sary to prevent protrusion of the intestines. An incision
from five to six inches in length was then made into the long
axis of the uterus, from which a well-formed, healthy-looking
female child was easily removed. The placenta was extracted
shortly afterwards. Thus far the operation occupied six
minutes. Immeliate contraction of the uterus to one-half
its previous size followed the removal of the child. The free
vencous hemorrhage which took place from its cut surface
was arrested by cold water and pressure between the hands.
In half an hour the uterus had contracted to such a size as
to render its replacement within the abdomen safe. Accord-
ingly, with the sanction of Drs. Rigby, Fergusson, Moore,
P. Smith, and others, the incision in the abdomen was brought
together by eleven suture. Broad Strips of plaster were
applied to support the muscles, and cotton wool placed on
the abdomen with a flannel roller over the whole. It may
be as well to obs?rcc that the inhalation of the ether pro-
duced insensibility to the p: in of the first incision. Its
prolonged exhibition was not allowed, lest it might possibly
interfere with the contraction of the uterus.—. Medical
Gazette.

SCOTTISH HOSPITAL.—A special meeting of this
society was held on Thursday, at tl Clouse of the Scottish
Hospital, in Crane.court, to consider a proposal which had
been made by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests for the
purchase of those premises, in order to form a site for the
erection of a public record-office. The proposal was favour-
ably received, and a committee appointed to negotiate with
the Woods and Forests on the subject. The proceedings were
very brief, and concluded with the election of a new member
to the institution.
MRS. BUTLER'S RETURN TO 111 E STAGE.—Man-
chester is believed to be selected by Mrs. Butler (late Fanny
Kemble) for her re-appearance on the stage. The terms
offered and accepted are exceedingly liberal. The first
character in which Mrs. Butler will appear will be her origi-
nal one of Julia, in the Hunchback.
MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL.—On Monday last, at tl .e
Middlesex Hospital, the efficacy of the ether was put to as
severe a test as it has yet been subjected to. A man .of 68
had been admitted with symptoms of stone and diseased
bladder; so much pain, straining, and struggling attended
the attempts at sounding, that it was with difficulty satis-
factorily accomplished. The vesical tenesmus was incessant,
amounting to total incontinence of urine. Endeavours were
made for several weeks to allay this extreme irritability, so
that some urine might be retained or some water received as
an injection, but in vain, neither could be endured, lithotrity
was consequently out of the question ; and Mr. Arnott de-
termined to perform the operation of lithotomy, unpromising
as the case was, but, if possible, whilst the patient was under
the influence of the ether. In seven raisutes from the com-
mencement, but in reality only two from the effectual in-
halation, its influence was obtained. The catheter was then
introduced, and some water attempted to be injected, but not
above two or three ounces could be borne, and this, re-
tained by pressure, was ejected immediately on the introduc-
tion of the staff, which, owing to the state of parts was ef-
fected with some difficulty and consequent delay ; the bladder
'Ryas cut into; the stone was grasped at once, but crumbled
ender the forceps, requiring their re-introduction several
times; the scoop was employed to remove calculous matter
like mortar; and, lastly, the bladder was injected four or five
times, so as to wash it out. During the whole time,',from first
to last, the patient gate est the slightest indication of suf-
fering; indeed, it was not until he was removed to bed and
had been some time in it, and taken some brandy and am.
monia, that he did so, and then of soreness merely. Nor
was the influence of the ether limited to this, its anodyne

The principal parts were sustained by Madame Tadolini, the
