NEW WORK ON STRICTURE.

Just published, Bvo, in cloth, price 55., by post free, ss. 6d.,
THE- TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA. With the Reasons why they so often
appear Incurable:
By F. B. COURTENAY,

And formerly Surgeon to. the Metroyolitan.lnfirmary 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
animmense 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.

Extract from Minutes of Consultation transmitted by the
Government of Madras, on the 15th May, 1858, to the
late Court of Directors of the East India Company
The Government express their unanimous, strong, and
earnest advocacy that all irrigation works which, on a com-
prehensive view of the.wants of the country, may be deemed
necessary to develop its undoubtedly great resources, be
commenced at once bold)), and on a large scale, be pressed
forward throughout all times and under all circumstances,
and be looked on, and be practi.cally treated, as in fact they
really are; as the most economical,
because the most pro-
fitable, undertakings which the Government could pos-
sibly engage. It is needless now again to bring forward
the innumerable instances in which money has in the Pre-
sidency been most advantageously invested in irrigation
works. The proceedings of Government have, in this re-
spect, been only too desultory and vacillating, and it is
confidently asserted that India could be placed in a
position to pay all her own expenses, and gradually dis-
charge her debt far more readily and speedily by a judicious
expenditure than by any scheme of retrenchment or reduc
tion.

.(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

AN OLD OFFENDER CAUGHT IN THE ACT.—Mary Ann
Sullivan, described as a charwoman, was charged with
being found in a house in Upper Rupert-street.
The evidence in the case showed that the prisoner, whose
practice is to carry a bunch of keys with her, and enter any
house that she may find the door left open, and then, when
detected, to say she was looking 'Tor a "Mrs. Smith," on
the previous day entered, by some means, the house No.
5, Upper Rupert-street, and commenced operations by in-
serting one of her keys into the lock of a bedroom of a
person named Crewer, who happened to be in the room at
the time, the door being locked, she having been unsuc-
cessful with the lock of the adjoining room. To her great
surprise he opened the door, and, on asking her what she
wanted, she merely replied that her object was not dis-
honest, and ran down stairs. Mr. crewer followed her down
the stairs, and saw her pull a key from the lock, which was
now produced.
Dodsworth, 333 A, said he took the prisoner into custody,
and at the station a bunch of keys, 11 in number, and
suited to open any ordinary lock, was found on her.
The prisoner, who was committed from this court some

months since for tr similar attempt in Tottenham-court-
road, and who was recognised by Sergeant Mills, of the E
division, as an old offender, was committed for three months
with hard labour.

7HE NAVAL BRIGADE IN INDIA.

(From the Gazette of last Evening.)
ADMIRALTY, DEC. 24
Despatches, of which the following are copies, have been
received by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty,
from Captain Sotheby, commanding her Majesty's ship
Pearl's Naval Brigade in India :
Camp, Bustee, Oct. 20, 1858.
Sir,—l have the honour to forward, with much satisfac-
tion, for the Lords• Commissioners of the Admiralty's infor-
mation, the accompanying report (sub-enclosure and 3)
from the officers in charge of detachments of the Pearl's
Naval Brigade, and feel assured their lordships will per-
ceive how much they have contributed to the success of
this field force. The roads, owing to the floods, were at
times nearly impassable, scarcely any carriage being able
to move, the guns were transported on elephants.
Much praise is due to the officers and men for their
great exertions, in which Brigadier Fisher, in command,
fully concurs. In report NO. 2, I beg especially to bring
to the notice of their lordships the conduct of John Lee
(A. 8.), as therein mentioned, as also James Williams
(L.S.), captain, of the gun, who always presses forward
most eagerly. —I have, &c.,
(Signed) E. S. SOTHEBY, Captain,
Commanding Pearl's Naval Brigade.

Red were the favourites, at evens, but Blue had the best
station. A very fair start was effected, and they were oar
and oar for about 200 yards, when Blue began to draw
away from their opponents, and opposite the Feathers had
nearly cleared themselves, where they continued only for a
few pulls, Red again becoming nearly level, and as though
they were going by them. In this position they continued
rowing for a short distance, when Red took the lead, and
maintained it throughout, closely pressed by Blue, who were
only defeated by a couple of lengths at the finish. The race
between Blue and White was very spirited to Battersea
Church, where the latter gradually fell astern, and were
beaten by a dozen lengths.

APPILEHENSION OF AN ESCAPED CONVICT.—A

M'Cubbin, who on the morning of the 10th Nov. last
escaped from Kilmarnock prison, where he had been con-
fined on a charge of theft by housebreaking, was on Friday

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Sunday night,
at Pelaw Main Station, a man named John Hedge, from
Durham, on his way to Sunderland, was severely injured.
Tho accident was caused by the mail train coming quickly
up before tha old man could get across the rails a his
hurry he fell, and although a young man, at the risk of his
own life, tried to drag him MI the rails, the train came up
and ran over him: He was dreadfully mangled, and at first
appeared to be dead, but, he breathed a little after being
lifted on the platform. The right leg and knee wero
Smashed, and his head was much injured. He gave a feeble
groan; but did not appear to be conscious. He had a minute
or two belze been telling a fellow-passenger that he was
going to Sunderland to procurse salve for his eyes. The
unf rtuulte man subsequently. died, and was c nveyed to
the Central Station, where oh inatifut will be held.

ROME.

We have received the following. from a corre-
spondent at Rome :—" The death of the Princess
Doria Pamphili took place after a lingering illness
of nearly two years, borne with the greatest
resignation and Christian fortitude. The Princess
was an Englishwoman by birth, eldest child of
John, sixteenth Earl of Shrewsbury, and the
last but one of the Catholic line of that illus-
trious house ; married in 1839 to Prince Doria,
the head of the great Genoese family of that
name, but long settled in llome. The Princess
for nearly twenty years occupied the highest
position, by her popularity and rank, among the
nobility of the Eternal City, where, by her unas-
suming piety, her amiable manners, her extensive
benevolence and 'charities, she was the respected
and beloved of all classes. Having chosen Rome
as her adopted country, the Princess Doria and her
sister, the late Princess Borghese, whilst ever re-
taining the feelings of the daughters of a British
nobleman, intimately identified themselves, more
than any foreigners ever did, with the society in
which it was their lot to be placed. The last rites,,
of thb Church were paid to the Princess's remains
on the 22d in the family church of St. Agnese, in
Piazza Navona, in the presence of an immense
concourse of every grade of Roman society,
anxious to pay a last homage to her memory. By
her union with Prince Doria, the late Princess has
left five children ; the eldest, Theresa Mary, was
married during the present year to the young Duke
of Rignano, the only child of Duke Massimo, one
of the most patriotic of the Roman nobility.
