NEW WORK ON STRICTURE.
Just published, Bvo, in cloth, price 55., by post free, ss.
THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA. With the Reasons why they so often
appear Incurable.
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, demonstrating his success and
explaining the cause of it. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
moat 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.

THE NAVY.

Rear-Admiral Charles Talbot has been appointed
to succeed Vice-Admiral Sir Henry D. Chads,
K.C.8., in the command at Cork. Rear-Admiral
Talbot, as captain of the Vestal, commanded the
successful expedition against the piratical settle-
ments in Maluda Bay, Borneo, for which he received
the especial thanks of the Admiralty in 1845. He
was captain of the Algiers during the late war,
employed in conveying troops to the Baltic, and
afterwards at the blockade of Sebastopol in 1854.
Captain George Giffard, C. 8., has been selected
for the vacant good service pension at the disposal
of the First Lord of the Admiralty by the promo-
tion of Captain Shepherd to flag rank, consequent
on the demise of Vice-Admiral Lord Lyons. The
gallant captain, who obtained post rank in Decem-
ber, 1845, was lieutenant to the Cyclops, Captain
H. T. Austen, at the attack on Gebail, when he was
severely wounded, and assisted in the operations on
the coast of Syria in 1840. He commanded the
Leopard in the Gulf of Bothnia, and assisted at the
reduction of Bomarsund in 1854, and subsequently
joined the fleet in the Mediterranean, where he
remained till the close of the late war.

An Admiralty order was received at Chatham
dockyard on Saturday, directing that the officers
and workmen employed at that establishment who
have attained the age of 70 years, and who were to
have been discharged on a pension on that day,
were to be retained on the establishment until
further orders.

The Childers, 12, Commander W. Swinburn, is
partially stripped at Chatham, and most of her
stores 'returned into the dockyards. She is to be
paid off on Friday next, when she will be placed
in the ordinary and is not expected to be again com-
missioned.

The quarterly examination of young gentlemen
nominated by the Lords of the Admiralty for entry
into the navy commenced at the Royal Naval Col-
lege, Portsmouth, on 'Wednesday, and terminated
on Saturday last, when the following received cer-
tificates as having passed :—For Naval Cadets—A.
S. Phillpotts, W. H. Jolliffe, W. If Maw r& T.
James, F. R. Carr, Sir L. H. D. Campbell, J. Black-
burn, F. W. Gurney, W. Skipwith, R. Jaques, E.

and F. W. E. Kuper. Six of these were prepared
by Mr. Eastman, R.N.1., Southsea. For Royal
Marine Cadets.—J. W. A. E. Lillicrap, C. R.
Brand, W. M. Swinton, E. B. S. Perkins. For
Masters'-Assistants.—J. A. Miller, P. Aplin, G. K.
Moore, S. Lilburn, and A. Wells. The college closes
on the 23d inst. for the Christmas holidays.
Rear-Admiral Smart, K.H., aide-de-camp to
the Queen, and chairman of the committee
appointed to inquire into the general economy
of our dockyards, visited Rear-Admiral Shep-
herd on Saturday, at Woolwich, for the pur-
pose of concerting measures to carry out an
investigation of that department. The committee,
consisting of the chairman • Mr. Henry Chatfield,
master shipwright of Deptford Dockyard ; Mr. A.
Murray, chief engineer of Portsmouth; Mr. Laws,
storekeeper of Chatham yard ; and Mr. Robert
Bowman, civil engineer and shipbuilder, will assem-
ble at an early hour this morning at Woolwich for
the purpose of extending their researches to that
establishment. They have been closely engaged
since the beginning of July in visiting in suc-
cession Portsmouth, Plymouth, Sheerness, and
Chatham.
Mr. Budd, senior inspector of constabulary at
Woolwich Dockyard, who a short time ago escaped
with his life from the ruffianly attempt to assassi-
nate him, the bullet having lodged in his left cheek,
received the medical attestation of Sir John Fisher,
chief surgeon of the force, on Saturday, and has
been permitted to retire from the service on an
augmented superannuation in consequence of his
wound. •

The Peake life-boat, destined for presentation to
the municipality of Calais, was on Saturday shipped
by Messrs. Forrestt on board the Calais packet
Triton for conveyance to its destination. The boat
is furnished with a couple of silver plates 18 inches
by 14 inches each, on which is inscribed in French
and English a detail of the event which originated
the memorial,—namely, the humane and Christian
exertions of the pilots and seamen of that port who
so readily exposed their lives to save the crew of
an English brig which was wrecked on their coast
during it severe gale last winter, from which only
one of the shipwrecked was, however, rescued. The
tablets contain the names of each man connected
therewith. Mr. Peake, assistant-master shipwright
of Woolwich Dockyard, who usually contributes
his gratuitous superintendence in the construction
of these boats, has been unremitting in his attend-
ance in order to suggest the perfection of every
requisite connected with his original design, ap-
proved and adopted by the Royal National Life-
boat Institution.

Dockyard, is far advanced in the fitment of her
1,000-horse power engines, by Maudslay ; indeed
they are almost complete; the boiler fittings and
coal boxes are in a very forward state.
The Pert and Decoy steam gunboats were taken
out of Portsmouth harbour on Friday last, by the
staff of the steam reserve to try their engines. An
accident happened on board each. Mr. Curtain, en-
gineer in charge of the Pert, lost the tops of three
fingers ; and Mr. Morgan, engineer in charge of
the Decoy, lost the top of one finger by the eccen-
trics.
