ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY,

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 a 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. By his 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, Deo. Ist, 1858.

THAMES.

THE BLIND MARINER—DISTRESSING} CASE.-Mr.
Thomas Bellshaw, surgeon's-assistant, of No. 2, St. Paul's-
te:race, South-grove, Mile-end, led into court a poor blind
man, named John Browning, aged 22, who has been in the
East India Company's service as a seaman in the Naval
Brigade, and has totally lost his sight. He came home
from India on the Gth of April last, went into the Opthal-
mic Hospital, Moorfields, and was discharged as incurable.
`While in the hospital he met with a fellow-patient, Mr.
Bellshaw, who, fortunately for himself, has been discharged
improved, and who, out of compassion, has taken charge of
Browning for the last fortnight. /gr. Bellshaw said the
poor man was quite destitute, and he wished to get him
into some institution for the blind, where he might learn
a trade and obtain the means of supporting himself.
Mr. Selfe said this was a case really deserving the atten-
tion of the benevolent, and, with that kindness and
humanity which has distinguished his career as a magis-
trate ever since his appointmeat, said ho would use his in-
fluence and interest himself as zealously as possible to cb-
taintheadmission of the poor blind man into the asylum for
the blind in the New-road, St. Pancras.
In reply to questions by the magistrate, Browning, who
is a fine young fellow, said he was utterly destitute, and all
he had to receive was £3 from the East India Company.
Mr. Selfe immediately wrote a letter to the committee of
the institution in the New Road, and requested Browning
to wait upon him again next Saturday for an answer. He
should be much obliged if the reporters would notice this
case in the journals, for it appeared to be a deserving one.
He deeply lamented the affliction that had befallen Brown-
ing, and said he hoped to communicate something favour-
able when he saw the blind man again.
Browning was then led out of court by his kind-hearted
friend, wb.o.said he would take care of him until Saturday.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

Last night Shakespeare's comedy, " The Merry Wives of
Windsor," was performed here, Mr. Phelps sustaining the
part of the fat and doughty knight—Sir John Falstaff.
The denizens of the northern part of the metropolis have
long been familiar with this performance, but to the more
westerly and aristocratic audience it was a decided no-
velty. The Falstaff of Mr. Phelps is really and truly
a great performance, for throughout the whole of the
faults and follies of the part, the audience was never al-
lowed to forget that, with all his failing, Sir John
Falstaff was still a gentleman. The famous buck-basket
scene was magnificently acted and rapturously applauded.
Mr. George Melville sustained the part of the jealous-
pated Ford very excellently, albeit his reading was a little
too fast to please our fancy, and Mr. Frank Mathews and
Mr. Meadows acted with their usual ability the characters
of Justice Shallow and Sir Hugh Evans. Mr. Widdicombe
was the Master Slender, but it was not at all suited to his
abilities. Mrs. Winstanley, as Mrs. Page, acted with her
usual heartiness and spirit, and Miss Rose Leclercq was
indeed a " sweet Ann Page." The house was filled in every
part previous to the rising of the curtain.

ATOILETTE REQUISITE for the SPRING.—
Among the many luxuries of the present age, none can
be obtained possessing the manifold virtues of OLDRIDGE'S
BALM of COLUMBIA. If applied to the roots and body of
the hair it imparts the most delightful coolness, with an
agreeable fragrance of perfume. It also, at this period of the
season, prevents the hiir from falling off, or, if already too
thin or turning grey, will prevent its further progress, and
soon restore it again. Those who really desire to have beau-
tiful hair, either with wave or curl, should use it daily. It is
also celebrated for strengthening the hair, freeing it from
scurf. and producing new hair, whiskers, and moustaches.
Established upwards of 30 years. No imitative wash can
equal it. Price 3s. 6d., 65., and lls. only. C. and A. OLD-

PUBLIC BUSINESS.

Lord PALMERSTON moved that upon Friday next,
and upon every succeeding Friday dwing the remainder of
the session, orders of the day should have precedence of
motions, and that the Government orders should have pre-

cedence of any other business on the paper on those days.
The noble lord said that, considering the advanced stage of
the session, and the amount of important business to be
transacted, this course should be adopted in accordance
with the practice of the house.

OFFICERS PROMOTED FROM THE RANKS.
On the motion for going into committee of supply on the
Army estimates,

Mr. M'EVOY moved that an humble address be pre-
sented to her Majesty, praying that she may be graciously
pleased to order that those officers in the army who have
been promoted from the ranks may be allowed to reckon
their previous services in the ranks, in the same manner as
is now permitted to paymasters and quartermasters, so as
to enable them to avail themselves of the 30th section of the
Royal Warrant of the 14th October 1858, which regulates
the retirement of competent officers in the Army and Ord-
nance corps.
Col. DUNNE seconded the motion.

Mr. S. HERBERT said he did not think the hon. mem-
ber (Mr. M'Evoy) had drawn a proper distinction be-
tween the officers who had been raised from the ranks in
order to fill situations as pay.naster or quartermaster, and
those who were promoted without any such object. Im-
poriant qualifications were required for the offices in ques-
tion, which very few privates in the army pessessed. Officers
promoted from the ranks were not compelled to undergo an
examination which was required of civilians desirous of en-
tering the army. The right hon. gentleman then entered
into details to show that officers raised from the ranks had
different other advantages.
The amendment was negatived without a division.
Mr. D. SEYMOUR drew the attention of the house to

th<3 position and the pay of the civil assistants employed
upon the Ordnance Survey. The hon. and learned member
entered into a statement to show that the body to which he
referred were not treated properly.
Mr. S. HERBERT denied that the class in question had
any just ground for complaint, and explained at some
length the position which the civil assistants in the Ord-
nance Survey occupied ; after which the subject dropped.

THE SUN, LONDON, T(TESDAY'EVENING, JUNE 19, 1860,

MR. BENEDICT'S CONCERT.

Mr. Benedict's grand morning concert took place yester-
day, at her Majesty's Theatre, before a densely crowded
and most fashionable audience. Arr. Benedict's playing
was worthy of his music. The delicate and beautiful touch
and finished execution which have ever characterised Mr.
Benedict's performances on the pianoforte, were never more
delightfully exemplified than in his rendering of his new
concertino, which was enthusiastically applauded, as it well
deserved, not only at the termination, but whenever "tutti "
afforded a plausible excuse for doing honour to the soloist.
Mr. Benedict, who, bo it understood, plays the music
of others as well as his own, also took part in an in-
genious, brilliant, and immensely difficult duet for two
pianos (on themes from Meyerbeer's " Robert le Diable"),
with its gifted author, Herr Leopold de Meyer, with whom
it is not too much, though a great deal, to say that he fairly
shared the honours. Before quitting the subject of piano-
forte playing we must also record the brilliant success of
Miss Arabella, Goddard, whose splendid performance of
Thalberg's fantasia and airs from ROssini's " Mose in
Egitto" quite equalled the best efforts of her male competi-
tors, and elicited rapturous applause. The " Stabat Mater,"
so far as the principal vocalists were concerned, was sung
to perfection, and equal praise is due to the performance of
the scene from " Othello," by Madame Borghi-Mamo and
Signor Mongini : to Madame Catherine Hayes, for her
chaste and musicianly rendering of Mendelssohn's beauti-
ful " Ave Maria."

he had to receive was £3 from the East India Company.
Mr. Selfe immediately wrote a letter to the committee of
the institution in the New Road, and requested Browning
to wait uptn him again next Saturday for an answer. He
should be much obliged if the reporters would notice this
case in the journals, for it appeared to be a deserving one.
He deeply lamented the affliction that had befallen Brown-
ing, and said he hoped to communicate something favour-
able when he saw the blind man again.

Browning was then led out of court by his kind-hearted
friend, who said he would take care of him until Saturday.

CRICKET.—ENGLAND V. AUSTRALIA..—The All
England Eleven are not coming out to this colony. George
Parr positively declines to risk another sea voyage after the
American expedition, and W
isden shares in his companion's
fears. Two Cambridge gentlemen express their willingness
to come, if they are allowed £3OO cash down, in addition to
their expenses. But this, we fear, would make it rather too
expensive a cricket match to be readily undertakeu,—Mel-

ITALY.

The King of Sardinia was expected back to Turin
on the 27th. Count Cavour set out on the 24th for
Cremona, but was also expected back to Turin about
the 27th.

The Government of Tuscany has, by a decree of
the 23d, fixed the form of the oath to be taken by
the National Guard. It is as follows :—‘, I swear
to be faithful, to the King and to his royal succes-
sors, loyally to observe the statute (constitution)
and other laws of the State, and to fulfil all my
duties with the sole view of the inseparable wel-
fare of the King and country."
The Roman correspondent of the Nord, after
stating that the population of Rome obstinately re-
fused to appear on the Corso to take part in the
official programme of the Carnival, but met in
various other parts of the city, says, that the
police, being determined not to acknowledge itself
defeated, adopted a singular means of dispersing
the crowd of some twenty thousand per-
sons near the Porta Pia. Knowing the in-
stinctive horror felt by all the people of the
Latin race towards the public executioner, that
functionary was ordered to proceed to the spot
in his red costume, and walk among the crowd.
This ingenious expedient meeting with little
suttees, a proclamation was next issued forbidding
persons to carry mocoletti (the small candles used
in Carnival time) anywhere except on the Corso,
under severe penalties. The following is the de-
claration of Giovanni Batista Bogatti, public exe-
cutioner at Rome, residing at No. 120, Borgo Sant'
Angelo :

6' On Saturday last, 18th February, at four p.m.,
two of the Pontifical police, one of whom is per-
sonally known to me, his name being Andreani,
came to fetch me. They brought a carriage, and
compelled me to get into it, declaring that they
were acting in the name of the Pope and of the
assessor-general of police. I was conducted by then►
outside the Porta Pia. On arriving there, I was
repeatedly ordered by them, in the name of the
sovereign, to alight, and walk about like other
people. I obeyed."

PR USSIA.

" The Prussian Chamber of Deputies," says the
.Nord, " has voted the four finance bills which are
to provide the resources indispensable for the re-
organisation of the army. The Chamber of Nobles
is in favour of the military reorganisation, but
does not at all approve of the money bills, espe-
chilly that which suppresses exemptions from the
tax on landed property. They would readily vote
the tax on buildings, which would throw fresh
burdens exclusively on the middle classes of the
town populations, but the Minister of Finance has
baffled all their manoeuvres by declaring categori-
cally that the four finance bills form an indivisible
whole, and that the rejection of any one would
cause the withdrawal of the others. Many
persons are curious to see how the Noble Chamber
will get out of the dilemma."

currence of the General Commanding-in• Chief, has
decided that the army shall be equipped exclusively

of which are universal, or respectively interchange-
able; and that the arms which are non-inter-

oN TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypoehrondriasis.

Translated from the German of Dr. PfCKFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemole it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the brochure' is sold, places
it within th 4 reach of every one interested in the matter."—

THE MAN OF THE PEOPLE.
By WILLIAM IIOWITT.
" `The Man of the People' may be expected to obtain a
great success. It is a remarkable book, which refers to event-
ful times, and brings prominently before us some important
persons who belong to fact, though they here make the strik-
ing pages of fiction. The work is one which in Its varied de-
scriptions and vivid pictures will sot fail to make a powerful
impression on the minds of its readers."—Sun.

DEATH OF A CRARACTER.

We have to record the death:of "Jock," the cele-
brated railway dog, whose travelling propensities
afforded us the materials of a paragraph some four
months ago. In our autumn notice of Jock, we
gave our readers some account of his many railway
peregrinations—how firemen and drivers were his
only favourites and companions—how he knew
them all intimately, and loved them affectionately
—how he accompanied them all in their erratic
courses—how trustingly he looked up into their
sooty faces, and rubbed his nose on their oily trousers,
and how kind each and all of them were to him in
return—and how, although on good. terms with all,
he regarded the Scottish Central as his own par-
ticular railway, and the Fair City his principal
place of residence. Since then, Jock had madss
frequent trips as far as London and Aberdeen ; nay,
on one occasion much further, for a gentleman to
whom he was well known recognised his familiar
face in Paris, and a few days afterwards again met
him in Lyons. But roam where Jock might he
never liked to remain above a week or ten days at
most from Perth, and the most of his time was
taken up in paying visits to Edinburgh, Glas-
gow, Aberdeen, and intermediate places. Lately
when in London, a Judas of a driver sold him
to some worthless dog-fancier, but Jock hated
slavery, and giving his new master the slip, was
in Perth the next day. His last journey, poor fellow,
was to Edinburgh. After viewing the capital and
remaining a night, he returned on Friday week by
the Fife line. Having breakfasted, he then took
the Central as far as Forteviot, but as the day was
cold he purposed to return home as soon as possible,
and accordingly watched his opportunity. At
length the down train arrived, but Jock's short
legs were not formed for leaping among snow, 10
loosing his spring; the foot-board of the, first car-
riage struck him on the head and he was no more.
His body being picked up, it was brought to Perth;
and Mr. Brown, George-street, is now busily en-
gaged stuffing his skin. .Alas, poor Jock !---Perth.-
shire Advertiser.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 23d contain no other
news from Morocco than that the General Com-
manding-in Cal had, in an order of the day, pub-
lished an autograph letter from the Queen, saying,
" Salute in my name, in that of my beloved hus-
band the King, and in that of my dear children, the
illustrious generals, ssperior officErs, officers, and
soldiers, who do so much honour to Spain ; tell
them that our hearts tare always with them; and
