ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of

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 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. 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 anti professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

Lisbon-4, P. Rua Boa Vista
This Company—formed for the purpose of establishing a
line of steam service between England, Portugal, and the
Brazils, and completing the essentiul link of communication
between Milford Haven, the seaport of the Great Western
and South Wales Railways, and Santos, Bahia, and Pernam-
buco, the seaports of the three important railways of the
Brazils, has been incorporated by a Royal Charter from his
M..jesty the King of Portugal.
Thecommercial transactions between Great Britain, Portu-
gal, and the Brazilian Empire are of immense and increasing
importance, as is shown by the annual trade returns. From
1850 to 1857 our exports of British manufactured goods to the
Brazils increased from £2,544,937 to £5,447,566; and the pas-
senger traffic between Portugal and that empire, which is
very great, is constantly and largely increasing, and
walrilelabdeyvery much urthcr developed by the railways now in
course of construction.
The Brazilian ports send coffee, dye-wood, drugs, diamonds,
silver, and other valuable products, tfoeethffiese

In sanctioning the formation and assuming the otffitchiael picoisnig-
tion of " Protector" of the Company, his Mai y
of Portugal fully recognis exists importance of the extensive
and increasing trade that upon the line the
have adopted. His Royal Hi chness the Duke of Oporto, his
Majesty's brother, by accepting the President's
chair, also
gave expression to his opinion as to the importance of the
undertaking.
The statutes under which the Company has been incor-
porated give its vessels special advantages over those of other
nations, and the Directors are assured that their ships sailing*
under the Portuguese flag will be able to command a very
large share of the passenger traffic existing. between Great
Britain, Portugal, and the Brazils.
The Directors have entered into a contract with the Por-
tuguese Government for a subsidy for the carriage of their
mails to the Brazils, by which a payment is secured to the
Company equal to about £15,000 per annum of our money. A
contract has also been entered into with her Majesty's Post-
master-General, on highly favourable terms, for the convey-
ance of the British mails from this country to Portugal and
the Brazils, and a subsidy will also be received from the Bra-
in 'Government for the conveyance of their mails, equal to
about £15,000 a year. In addition to these contracts aready
concluded, the Company have negotiations in progress which
the Directors confidently anticipate will terminate satisfac-
torily, and in that case the Company will be in receipt of a
gross sum of £85,000 a.year for postal service.
The line was opened on the 3d of October last.
The following is an extract from the Report of the Direc-
tors of the South Wales Railway to their Shareholders on
the 20th Feb., 1800 :
"The arrangements for through booking with the A. nglo-
Luso-Brazilian Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company,
which were adverted to at the last half-yearly meeting, have
been brought into operation. One of the ships of the Com-
pany arrives at, and departs from, Milford Haven in each
month.
" Tne traffic in connexion with them has already become of
material importance to this Company, and from information
which the Directors have received, they believe that the
undertaking itself bids fair to be a profitable one to its pro-
moters, and of permanent advantage to the South Wales
Railway."

which these foreign supplies will be directed—the
one spot where the foreigner can come in absolutely
free ; and when it is remembered, also, the immense
area from which they draw their supplies of material,
the c ffect in raising the continental price, so long as
these prOhibitory laws exist, must be comparatively
slight, while the effect of an European supply of
, paper directed upon England alone must press with
1 more than ordinary severity on the British maker
have
.
--a process not very likely to revivify those rural
mills which the Chancellor so poetically describedas olie
ofl v the aims ofhis Budget.
I fun reluctant to trespass further on your space,bit I
ieanother point to get
bring under your
notice, exemplifying still further the pecttliarly
happy position in which the English papermaker
will be placed.
The Americans are in as bad if not in a worse
position than ourselves as regards the material for
p ipermaking. They, like ourselves, have a demand
out of proportion to the supply, and they are there-
fore very large buyers of material wherever they
are permitted to purchase, and in their desire to
obtain a supply they do not neglect freetrading
England. The Americans are always buyers to
some extent in this country. The high prices
which have ranged in England for two or three
years past have to some extent lessened their pur-
chases compared with some years past, but even
now, at prices which were never higher, they are
shipping rags from this country to America; and it
is to this point, with reference to its effects upon us
in the future, that I wish to direct your special
attention. It has been said that the effect of a free
import of foreign paper would be to equalise the
price of material as between this country and the
Con-iinent ; and no doubt the tendency would be in
this direction, though I have shown that from the
immense area from which foreign supplies of mate-
rial are drawn, supplemented by the present pro-
hibitory laws, the result must always be greatly
in favour of the foreign maker; but there is no
doubt that, as I before said, the natural tendency
would be in that direction. But a new difficulty
stares us in the face. If foreign supplies of
paper come into England, and take the place
of home-made paper, we might expect that as
Englishproduction was curtailed our material
would accumulate, and the price would rapidly
recede ; and so it would if we were the only
consumers; but the Americans are ready to take
whatever we cannot use. They are buying now;
and is it not fair to suppose that, as the price re-
cedes from the effect of a lessened consumption
in England, our cousins will purchase all the
more readily ? Thus we have to meet the whole
brunt of a foreign competition with regard to paper,
and to share our already insufficient supply of ma-
terial with the Americans.

I have not as yet fulfilled my promise, partly; per-
haps, because in the present phase of the duty
question I preferred to look before I leaped.
" Voila tout !"

As I have given my facts, I must dissent from the
" Proprietor's" theory as to the supply of paper-
making material, as I am satisfied that this is prae-
tinily inexhaustible, and so soon as the incubus of
the duty ceases to exist an abundant supply will
come forward, and if I am not very much mistaken
rags five years hence will be 20 per cent. elrcalKT
than at present. The paper manufacturers must,
however, march- with the times, and learn some-
thing more of the chemistry of their business than
they know at present, as obviously nervous, strong,
and virgin fibres will require a totally dissimilar
method of treatment from that employed for an
effete material like rags.—l am, sir, your obedient
servant,

BURROWS and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the

ft is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines
are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the

wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating,

Their Tonic Wine is admitted o be most essential to in-

It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor,
an old man, that the prisoner married his daughter,
and that after they had lived together some months
it was ascertained that the prisoner was already
married. He was then prosecuted for bigamy, and
imprisoned for the offence. Consequently enmity
arose between the parties, and on the 23d December
last, as the old man was returning home from his
work about six o'clock in the evening, he was way-
laid by the prisoner, who knocked him down, and
cut his throat. The old man got :up, but his
assailant agaiu beat him on the head, and then left
him. Prosecutor crawled back to his master's, and
surgical assistance being promptly at hand, his life
was saved. The wounds inflicted were on parts of
the neck that might have caused death, but they
were not cut deep enough to reach the main arteries
or windpipe. Prisoner was apprehended at his
'own lodgings the same evening. He had met the
old man's daughter after the attack, and had spoken
to her.

He was found guilty of the assault with intent
to murder, and his lordship ordered sentence of
death to be recorded.

these new materials ought to have been here now,
for w 9 have been suffering from scarcity and
paying higher prices for some years than I ever
experienced; and though you, by the reward
which you offered for such a discovery some years
ago, put the whole fibrous world into a fever,
nothing has yet come of it, exceptint the intro-
duction of straw, and this is used only as a mat-
ter of necessity and from the high price of other
materials. How, then, it can be expected that,
with a foreign supply of paper and a corresponding
depi ession of our material, these new materials will
coine in passes my comprehension. If it means
anything, it means that, whereas they did not come
in at a high price, they will prefer to come in at a
lower one; and it is not a little amusing to see men
spouting at public meetings, telling us that they
are ready to supply 10,000 tons of material, and that
we persist in refusing it ; it is, in effect, saying that
a hungry man refuses to eat when the food is placed
before him. The question is not whether there are
materials from which paper can be made which are
not now used for the purpose, but whether they can
be used to pay the maker ; and the fact of their not
being used is conclusive on this point.
All that I have written will be set down as a part
of the old rag of protection—the old tale—" free
trade except when it affects its own interest."
To those who ride off on this hobby, and are, as
usual,,alisposed to side it .to death, I would say,
let them show the least similarity between the
material of papermakers and any other raw pro-
duce as regards the laws of production, supply, and
demand, and I will acknowledge myself worsted.
Between the producer and consumer of all other
raw materials there is a principle operating that
will never fail. So long as the consumer bill pay
a price that will give a profit on the production,
the producer has every motive to furnish what is
required. Hence demand creates supply.
Is there a creature in existence who has any sym-
pathy with, or feels an interest in, the production
of the material for papermakers ? Will the cot-
ton or flax spinner produce any more waste or
refuse from his manufacture because we want it, or
in consequence of any price we can offer for it ?
Will the people throw off their garments any sooner
because the paper mill gives .2d. instead of id.
per lb. ? Is it not manifest that the material we
use is a refuse—that no one is interested in pro-
ducing it, but, on the contrary, all who do produce
it do so involuntarily, against their will, and that
their interest consists in, and their efforts ' are
directed to, lessening rather than increasing the
quantity ? And yet this refuse is by the abstract
theorist placed in the category of raw materials
along with cotton, corn, sugar, coffee, and all other
articles which are reproducible to any extent with
profit to the producer, as an article to which the
free-trade theory is applicable, and subject to the
influence of the laws of supply and demand. This,
I think, is a fallacy.
Now what the papermaker requires is not pro-
tection. We do not object to the repeal of the paper
duty, nor to a free import of-paper ; but we want
free access to the :. material of our foreign compe-
titors, and we say, further, that to admit free paper
from countries that prohibit access to their material
is to subject us to a ruinous contest, which can only
result in supplying this country with foreign paper
and sending our material to supply the wants of the
Americans.
I will now sum up my case shortly.

The defendant, on 'Wednesday, was the worse for
liquor, and entered the grounds of the above tavern,
and before he could be removed he wilfully broke
one of the statues in the gardens. The defendant
did not pay the damage and was given into custody
when he became very violent and kicked and
knocked the constables about in a shameful manner,
and it was with the greatest difficulty that he was
got to the station. Both constables said that the
defendant, although drunk, kicked them purposely,
and without provocation. The defendant also threw
police-constable Groves on the pavement.
The defendant did not deny the charge, and
pleaded drunkenness as an excuse.
Mr. Tyrwhitt could not allow such an excuse,
and he ordered the defendant to pay 15s. damage,
or fourteen days' imprisonment, and a fine of 10s.
for assaulting each of the constables, or a months
imprisonment.
The defendant paid the money.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Mr. Beard, the solicitor,
applied to Mr D'Eyncoui t for permission to mention
a very painful matter with a view of legitimately
obtaining the assistance of the newspaper press in
reference to it.

A young man, named Joseph Minett, 21 years
of age, for some years in the service of the Eastern
Counties Railway, had suddenly disappeared from
his home and employment. His conduct was blame-
less, and, being a most estimable son, the parents
were in tha most deepest anguish of mind respect-
ing his fate. Advertisements and bills offering a
reward for any information respecting him had
been unattended with the slightest success, and it
was under these distressing circumstances that his
father instructed him, Mr. Beard, to make the pre-
sent application to the court that the magistrate's
concurrence might be obtained to its being inserted
among the police matter, should the editors of ;the
press kindly afford their acquiescence.
Mr. TYF,yncourt expressed his regret at the de-
privation mentioned by Mr. Beard, and observed
that it was a matter lying entirely at the present
stage with the reporters—the invaluable aid of the
press must be understood by all.
Mr. Beard thanked the magistrate, and handed
in a printed bill, in which the missing young man
was mentioned as being 5 feet 6 or 7 inches in
height, with a scar on his nose, fair complexion,
wearing a double-breasted brown beaver overcoat
with velvet collar, dark trousers, side spring high
shoes, white and lavender woollen scarf hat, silver
watch and chain, his linen was marked T. M., and
he was last seen in Shoreditch on the 24th of
February.

The above work is inte, ded for the perusal of those who
have in early life been induced to swerve from the strict rules
of morality. In its pages facts of par mount utility are
brought together, wholly divested of tne delusions and incon-
sistencies so largely introduced into certain quasi medical
publications given to the world gratis, under the guise of
philanthropy, or as "acts of gratitude," by pretended clergy-
men and others, whose tamperings with the conetltUtiun are
frequently 0119wecl. by serious Qollllequencee.

And in order to increase our difficulties, and to
make it impossible that our own material shall de-
scend to the level of our foreign competitors, we
have a free export in constant operatitm to America,
where, from the high price of paper, and a protec-
tive duty of 30 per cent., they are enabled to pay a
higher price for material than we can, subject to
unrestricted competition with the Continent.
Since the above was written I see that the French
Emperor has determined to allow us access to the
French market for material; therefore, as far as
im
port
of is concerned, all objections to a free
of paper are removed, but as against all
other
countries who maintain the prohibitive system the
reasons I have assigned remain as forcible as ever.
—I am, Sir, &c., THOMAS WRIGLEY.
Bury, Lancashire, March 6.

Sir,—A letter from " One of the Proprietors of
I:averham Mills" having appeared in your impres-
sion of to-day, in which my name is called in ques-
tion, I rely on your known impartiality to insert my
reply to the facts therein stated.
I must premise that a cipher has been erroneously
added to the quantity of raw material I stated at
St. Martin's-hall I was in a position to offer to the
trade. The figures should be 10,000 not 100,000

tons. •
I have nothing to do with the peculiar qualifica-
tions that fitted the " Proprietor" for his post as
" referee," or with the conclusicn at which he
arrived. Tredgold, the eminent engineer, re-
marked that "an ounce of fact was worth a ton
of theory." It is a fact that for many months past I
have turned out some tons of printing paper weekly
made entirely from the " Spanish grass" which the
" Proprietor" condemns as " worthless." Not only
is this paper made, but as readily sold, costing less
than a similar paper from rags, and yielding a
good profit. It is also an accepted fact that small
and desultory experiments are not calculated to
obtain a successful result in any branch of manu-
facture, even if " costly," and that one man may
succeed where many others have completely failed.
The logic of the " Proprietor', also
is peculiar ;
because I not executed his order for "half-
stuff," crgo, I am unable to supply the trade with
raw material.

_
The story of the half-ton is simply and family
told. Some time ago I supplied the firm at
Taverham with some of this fibre in the raw
state ; they could not make anything of it.
In fact, after their costly experiments, they " pro-
nounced it worthless." 41 One of the Proprietors,"
