THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITII'S
(( GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in MO. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the vim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the TTRETITRA ; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. Byhis systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

TILE DISTURBANCES IN PESTS.

A letter, dated Vienna, Oct. 26, says—The fol-
owing details relative to disturbances which oc-
curred in Pesth on the evening of the 23d instant
have been received here. On Monday the Muni-
cipal Council desired the inhabitants of the Hun-
garian capital to show their gratitude to the
Emperor for having restored the Constitution by
lighting up the windows of their houses. In the
course of the morning of Tuesday it came to the
knowledge of General von Benedek that a plan had
been formed for creating disturbances if there
should be an illumination, and he therefore re-
quested the municipal authorities to direct the pro-
prietors of the houses in Pesth not to put any lights
into their windows. As the weather was remark-
ably fine in the evening of Tuesday, the streets
were unusually full of people, but there was no
symptoms of an intention to disturb the peace of
the city until towards 8 o'clock, when a crowd of
young fellows marched up the Waizner-Gasse (the
principal street), whistling and hooting as they
went. In the first floor of the King of Hungary
Hotel there was an exhibition of stereoscopic pic-
tures, and behind a transparency, which was in one
of the windows, was a bright light. As soon as
they caught sight of this the young men began to
whoop like so many wild Indians, and to throw
small copper coins at the window. While so occu-
pied strong patrols made their appearance, and,
without stopping to summon the people to disperse,
they levelled their bayonets and made a violent
rush forwards. About 50 civilians were more or
less seriously wounded, and one officer and three or
four privates slightly injured. While the conflict
was going on in front of the "King of Hungary"
there was a second collision between the troops and
the people. The latter threw stones into the windows
of General Rummerskirch, who resides on the new
market-place, and while doing sothey were attacked
in flank and rear by detachments of cavalry and
infantry. The troops with bayonets levelled, also
forced their way into the " Zrinyi" coffee and beer-
house, and drove the persons assembled there into
the street. It is related that General Neuwirth,
the commander of the city, and eight or ten officers,
made use of their swords against the unarmed mob,
but the report requires confirmation. A man named
Rapecz, who was run through the body, is already
dead, and 12 persons, who were severely wounded,

persons were arrestea, out We ';hoopsappeareu LU
be more desirous to inflict punishment than to
make prisoners." It does rot admit of a doubt that
the mob behaved badly, but it is equally certain
that the troops behaved worse. The Wiener
Zeitung of to-day contains an official article, in
hick it is said that there is only an " apparent
connexion" between the deplorable occurrences in
Pesth and the Imperial ordinances of the 20th inst.,
and the Buda-Pesth Zeitung tells the very same
tale; but it is known that in general the Hunga-
rians are dissatisfied with the arrangements which
have been made for them. The assurance has to-
day been given me that the most influential leaders
of the different parties have promised their support
to Government, but it remains to be seen whether
such is really the case. If Baron Eotvos and M.
von Deak take office in Hungary, their doing so
will be a proof that the Liberals are not dissatisfied
with the Imperial ordinances; but if they keep
aloof it will be clear that the Government has no
adherents in Hungary but a few high nobles. The
Cardinal-Primate of Hungary bas asked the Arch-
bishop of Erlau to become a member of the " Pri-
matial Congress" which is about to assemble, but
it is not certain that M. von Bartakovics, who is a
very warm patriot, will consent to do so. It is now
very difficult to get in the taxes in Hungary, and
in some places notice has been given that the goods
of the persons who are in arrear will be taken in
execution if the sums owing to the State are not
paid within a given time. Baron Kempelen, the
editor of the Szegedin Ifirado, who was sent to the
fortress of Josephstadt because the Austrian
Minister of Police feared he might do mischief, has
been permitted to return to his home.
The impression produced by the Provincial
Statute for Styria has been exceedingly un-
favourable here. The Viennese say that the thing
is a " stupidity," and after having read a summary
of its contents you may, perhaps, be of opinion that
they are not far wrong. As has already been said,
the Estates are to be composed of six priests, 12
nobles, 12 representatives of cities, and the same
number of representatives of the rural communes.
The University of Gratz will not be represented at
ail. The members of the Provincial Diet are to be
elected for six years, and those who, being of noble
birth, are in possession of a landtafliches estate,
will enjoy the privilege of wearing " tire ancient
uniform of the Estates." The Captain of the Pro-
vince (Landeshauptmann) is to preside at the Diet,
which can be dissolved at pleasure by the Sove-
reign. The members of the 'Diet have to vow to
be loyal and obedient to the Emperor. A managing
committee is to be formed of members of the Diet,
who are to be chosen by that body. The Diet has
the right to look after and to manage the affairs of
the province, and to send through the Stadtholder,
petitions to the Emperor. In accordance with the
Patent of March 5, the members of the Diet have

to elect from among themselves the persons who
are to be " proposed" to the Emperor as members of
the Reichsrath. The sphere of action of the Pro-
vincial Diets is very confined, as all matters which
concern the Empire at large will be discussed by
the Reichsrath. "If the Captain of the Province
is of opinion that any resolution taken or order
given by the Diet could be prejudicial to the wel-
fare of the public, he has a right to prevent its
being carried out." One Diet is not allowed to
communicate with another. No Diet has a right
to issue proclamations, to receive deputations, or to
send deputations to the Emperor, unless it has ap-
plied for and received permission to do so. The
members of the Styrian Diet will not be elected by
all the inhabitants of the province,•but by the four
Estates. Thus priests will be elected by priests,
nobles by nobles, the representatives of the cities by
the respective municipal councils, and the represen-
tatives of the•rural districts by the communes. The
Diets will have to elect, three times as many persons
as they have a right to send to the Reichsrath, as
the " terna" system will be upheld. The meaning
of the expression is, that the Sovereign chooses one
out of every three persons proposed to him. The
Viennese flattered themselves that the hundred
" elected" members would play a prominent part in
the Reichsrath, but since the publication of the
statute for Styria they appear to have lost all hope.
Sonic students at the Vienna University proposed
to their comrades to "get up" a torch procession,
and to go in corpore to receive the Emperor on his
return from Warsaw, but the proposal was not
favourably. received. The young men first men-
tioned, most of whom belong to families of rank,
then went to Count Goluchowski to inquire whe-
ther the Emperor would object to the students in
the University walking in procession wah torches
in their hands; and the Count, in the belief that
the persons who had called onhim were empowered
to speak for their comrades as well as for them-
selves, replied that he would inquire by telegraph.
He did so, and, as the reply received from Wareaw
was favourable, it was announced on the so-called ,
