ROCHESTER—MARci 12.

The wheat trade dull to-day. Millers are are looking for
lower prices, and the farmers refuse to give way. To effect
sales a slight decline had to be submitted to. Oats were in
slow sale, at late prices, but few buyers. Barley and peas
as before, but holders willing to make concessions. Beans
were rather cheaper, but the demand inactive.

THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA ; showing why they so often appear In-
eurable,'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. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future ndschief 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.

MAIN DRAINAGE OF THE METROPOLIS.

Mr. W. WILLIAMS asked the hon. member for Bath,
as a member of the Metropolitan Board, what steps had
been takon by that board with reference to the main drain-
age of the metropolis, particularly on the south side of the
river ?

Mr. TITE, in reply, entered into a statement, from
which it appeared that the works had considerably pro-
gressed, that they would be completed in about four years,
and that money was lent by the Bank at 31 per cent.
for the completion of the undertaking.

METROPOLITAN AND CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

The CHAIRMAN having given a general statement
of the financial business of the court for the past
year,
Deputy HARRISON, a member of the Metropoli-
tan Board of Works, said he had endeavoured,
although ineffectually, to prevail upon the board to
carry out necessary improvements in Newgate-
street at their own expense, so that, as matters
stood, if they
.were done at all, although they were
mttropolitan improvements, they must be done at
the expense of the City ratepayers, who, at the
same time, had to bear one-tenth part of the ex-
pense of all improvements effected by the board in
the metropolis generally, whether the City was
benefited by them or not He moved, "that it be
referred to the Improvement Committee to consider
and report what further steps should be taken with
respect to the future improvements which have
been agreed to by thiscourt, and towards the costs
of which it was expected the Metropolitan Board
of Works would have contributed one-third of the
amount, but which they have decided nut to do
by their resolution dated the 21st of January."
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. Ross seconded the motion, which was sup-
ported by Mr. H. L. Taylor' and carried unani-
mously, it being understood that this important
subject would be fully debated on the bringing up
of the rennv
MNIBuS SUBWAY COMPANY.
The engineer brought up a report stating that
this company proposed to construct a subway,
starting at the Royal Exchange, passing through
Cheapside, the north side of St. Paul's, Ludgate-
hill, Fleet-street, the Strand, Charing-cross, Parlia-
ment-street, to the Houses of Parliament, having
stations at every quarter of a mile throughout its
length. It was to be constructed at but a moderate
depth beneath the streets, so as not to interfere with
the gas and water pipes, and was to be in the centre
of the roadway, to avoid interference with vaults
and cellars. The width of the carriages would be
only sufficient to carry two persons abreast in the
first class and three abreast in the second class
carriages, two lines of railway being laid. The
project, if carried out, would involve the re-con-
struction of the whole of the sewers throughout the
entire length of the subway within the City, as
well as that of many others -in collateral streets,
and would cause during its construction much
temporary inconvenience. The scheme would
require the careful attention of the Commission
before any decision could be safely given with
respect to it.

The report was adopted ; and after the transac.
tion of some routine business, the court adjourned

11. M. SHIPS IN SIMON'S BAY.

H.M.S. Boscawen, H.M. steamer Lyra, and
H.M. steamer Hermes are now in Simon's Bay.
Some time ago it was rumoured that one of her
Majesty's ships on this station would be sent in
search of H.M. brig Sappho, which was missing;
but recently it has been stated that in consequence
of information received by Admiral Grey, via New
Amsterdam, no alarming fears are now entertained
as to the safety of the Sappho.

CHINA SQUADRON.

Three of the squadron lately engaged on the coast
of China, the Sanspareil, the Nankin, and the
Pique, have arrived in Simon's Bay, and sailed
again for Portsmouth. The steam sloop Surprise
has also arrived from China, and, it is said, she will
remain on this station.

THE HARVEST.

In the Western Province, the grain harvest has
just been .brought to a close; it has been in every
way a plentiful one. In the Eastern Province; the
long-continued drought, of which we complained
last month, has happily been broken, and copious
refreshing rains have fallen in various parts.of the
country, just in time to save a great portion of the
crops. This rain, which has been pretty, general,
came most opportunely. The farmers had been
suffering severely—their crops parched up, and
theirlstock dying daily for want of pasturage and
water. Fresh life and animation have been im-
parted to all agricultural pursuits, and our gloomy
prospects with regard to food have given place to
brigliter-hopes respecting the coming harvest.

SMALL-PDX.

The small-pox epidemic, which prevailed here
with great fatality for about three months, has now
almost totally disappeared. Our business relations
with the country districts are therefore improving.
Property sales in all parts of the country show a
favourable advance in the value of land and build-
ings. Farms which were originally purchased for
a mere song, as the saying is, have realised very
considerable prices.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

By the Royal Mail steamship Phoebe, Captain
Clarke, we have received. Cape of Good Hope papers
to the 22d of December. They do not, however,
contain much of interest. The Phcebe has brought
specie to the amount of £7OO ; copper ore, 1,995
bags ; wool, 37,6371 b. ; and sundry wine, horns, &c.
Among the passengers from the Cape were Sir
Robert Stamford, Captain Salmond, Captain Cress-
well, R.N., Mr. Hammersley, R.N., Major Morse,
and Major Fraser.

(From the Cape- Argus of Dee. 21.)
Since our last summary for England was written
the designs of the Transvaal Republic upon the
acig,hbouring Bechuana tribes have been fully
lcveloped, and they comprehend nothing less than
their total subjugation and enslavement.

Very little rumour of wars and cattle-thefts has
come to 113 during the last month from the Free
State.

British Kaffraria is tolerably quiet and uncom-
plaining ; but there are said. to be (on the authority
of the Graham's Town Journal) at least 100,000
natives in the colony, of whom, as might be ex-
pected, an occasional complaint is heard; and it
would be as well if they could be put under a little
more restraint. A continuous stream of immigra-
tion from home will be the best corrective for this
untoward influx of Kafirs.

We have late news from the neighbouring colony
of Natal, whose Legislative Council is sitting, and
carrying on, as usual, a fierce and not very elegantly-
worded war, with a " despicable,and despotic official
clique." Natal bids fair, as things are going, to
become a black settlement with a few white officials,
instead of a European colony. Sugar is doing ex-
ceedingly well, and it may now be considered to
have fairly " riz" as a sugar colony ; but its credit
is not yet equal to raising £lOO,OOO loan to carry
on its public works.

The vineyards throughout the country look ex-
ceedingly well. The vines are healthy and well
laden with grapes. There has been some fine
warm showers of late, and the fruit is swelling
beautifully. The vintage promises to be very fine
indeed.

The crops of oat-hay this season are very large,
and forage has come down by the run. Oats are
now selling at 9s. 6d. per muid, whereas, at the
beginning of 1858, they were realising 18s. per

maid. Oat-hay at that time fetched upwards
of 15s. per hundred, now it is selling from ss. to
6s. 6cl.

The inhabitants of Graham's Town and Port
Elizabeth lately preSented to the captain of the
Itoyal mail steam ship Phoebe, H. Clarke, Esq., a
purse of £75, as a recognition of the well-working
of the line, and to reward him for making the
quickest voyages.

WRECK OF THE ARAGO.

The Hamburg bark Arago, 630 tons, D. C. lol-
ling, master,from Memel for this port and Batavia,
went ashore on entering Table Bay, on the night
of the 38th ult. A court of inquiry, composed of
Commander Gordon and Mr. Salfleet, of H.M.
steamer Hermes, Captain Tinley, shipping-master,
Captain Murson, and Mr. Poppe, acting Hamburg
consul was appointed to investigate and report
upon the circumstances attending the wreck of the
vessel. The captain made a statement to them, in
the course of which he declared the error on his
part in entering Table Bay arose, from his having,
after taking bearings of the lights, miscalculated the
scale of miles, and thus mistaken his distance from
the land. The Court, however, did not attribute
the loss of the vessel to this cause. The following
was their report to Government :—"That we are
of opinion, from the evidence produced, that the
loss of the barque Arago was caused by the wrong-
ful act and default of the master of the said vessel
in not taking soundings, or having the lead going,
or causing a proper look-out to be kept whilst
standing in for the eastern shore of Table Bay,
the ship tieing well under command, with a
fresh working breeze and a clear atmosphere.
The master, moreover, does not appear to
have taken any bearings of Green Point light
after six p.m., just before tacking for the-
last time, although the lights were clearly visible
when the vessel struck." The hull and cargo of the
wreck were sold by public auction, and realized
£2,200.

CAPT. BEDINGFIELD'S RETURN FROM THE ZAMBEZI

Capt. Bedingfield, R.N., who accompanied the.
Livingstone expedition to the Zambezi, returned to
Cape Town by H.M. st. Lyra a week or two ago ;
and subsequently proceeded in the Sanspareil to
England. It appears that some mutual misunder-
standing of a trifling character between Captain
Bedingfield and the leader of the expedition was
the occasion of his withdrawal from it.

LOSS OF THE MADAGASCAR.

The Cape and Natal mail steamer Madagascar
was wrecked on the night of the sth inst., off the
south-east coast, near the mouth of the River Beka,
on her passage from East London to Algoa Bay.
From the pUblished accounts of the catastrophe, it
appears that at six o'clock in the evening, the
vessel was computed to be six miles off the coast ;
at nine o'clock five miles, and at ten, before the
captain's leaving deck, he ordered her to be kept
still further seaward. The tops of the hills were
visible, but a misty bank hung over the land. At
midnight, whilst the passengers were all in their
berths, the steamer struck heavily upon a reef of roofs,
on the edge of which she rode for 20 minutes, bump-
ing and straining fearfully, and then got off into deep
water. The forehold was immediately half filled
and the steamer was found to be sinking. Her
boats were at once got out, and provisioned, and the
captain, selecting a spot less rocky than the usual
run of the coast, hoisted the spanker, and ran the
vessel on shore.. At about. three-quarters of a mile
out she beached, amid a terrible surf, but was judi-
cously made a breakwater for the boats, which were
kept under her lee until daylight. Whilst so
lying, the steamer rolled so much that the rigging
could be touched by those in the boats. At day-
light the boats, at great peril,
,crossed the surf, and
reached the land nearly full of water. On the
occasion.of the-disaster, coolness and judgment were
displayed by the master and officers of the vessel,
willingly and ably seconded by the crew. No life
was lost, but the passengers and all on board lost
nearly everything, including their luggage. The
officers and crew suffered a good deal of privation
after landing, but this appears to have been una-
voidable. In our first notice of the melancholy
accident, we were led to believe that the steamer
was well insured, and so we stated. it. We, how-
ever, have since learnt, upon the best authority,
that she was insured for a sum very considerably
below her value. The loss of the Madagascar will
be a loss to the whole. community.

Bay, wiil convey to India 80 women and children—

to the 13th Regiment, at present serving in India.

CORRECTION OF COMPASS ERRORS•

A new instrument for ascertaining and correct•
ing the local errors to which compasses are peen'
liarly liable on • board iron steamships, which has
just been invented by Mr. Robert Eardley PinbeY,
a chief officer in the Peninsular and Oriental Cora;
pany's service, is now on view in the captains
room at Lloyd's, Royal Exchange. The instrument
is in a box similar to those used for chronometers,
hung on jimballs; and over the top is a dumb card
(similar to Friend's Pelorus) and an equatorial (ot
sun) dial, which, by means of a graduated arc at
the side, can be adjusted to the latitude of the place,:
The observer, with a watch set to the apparent
time, or time of the ship, causes the shadow of the
dial to fall on the part of the instrument represent'
ing the time. Immediately this is done one portion
of cross is in the direction of the true meridian
of the place, and consequently all true bearings can
be ascertained at once—all magnetic bearings, by
applying the known variation for the place of ob-
servation. The instrument may be used in any
part of the ship, the only adjustment required being
to put the lubber line towards the ship's head. ;
then, by placing the dumb card to correspond with
the meridian, or the magnetic meridian, as may be
desired, the difference between its indication and
that of the compasses on board will be the errors
for which allowances: must be made. Mr. Pinhey's
invention has already received the strongest appro-
bation of nautical men who have examined it, a,na,,
Captain Steward, of the Alhambra, to which vesse;
the inventpr. is attached, says :—" I have assisted
Mr. Pinhey in determining the errors of our coin
passes by his patent corrector, aid have shaped nil
course during the voyage by them, and, from the
land-falls I have made, believe them to be correct,
and that the errors have, as he states, materially
altered since they were last determined in South-
ampton. The change on the north-east quadrant
particularly demands attention, as I have several
times found myself to the eastward of my reckon"
ing in making Ushant when steering by the old
errors ; and this voyage, having Shaped my course
by Mr. Pinhey's corrector, I made Ushant light
exactly as I expected." The importance of detect-
ing the variations of compasses in iron ships, now.
that so large an amount of property and life crosses
the ocean in iron-built screw steamers, cannot be
over estimated, and therefore this invention deserves
attention, to discover what may be its merits or
demerits.

ATROCIOUS CASE OP VITRIOL TIMOWING.—Mary
Allen, a laundress, was charged with throwing a quantity
of vitriol over the person of Mary Ann ..4.11en, of 57, York-
street, City-road.

John Head, 89 E, said that at a quarter past three on the
previous afternoon he was called to the King's Head pub-
lic-house, Crown-street, Soho, and was there informed by
several persons that the prisoner had thrown a quantity of
vitriol in the face of the prosecutrix, completely saturating
the whole of the upper part of her dress. He then took
her into custody, when she said she would go with him,
and that she did it. The injured woman was holding her
hands to her face, and in excruciating agony at the time.
He got the assistance of another constable (Hill, 84 C),
and sent the prisoner to the hospital, she having
got a quantity on her own person, and then conveyed
the injured woman to the Middlesex Hospital. ' The
pint pot he now prodwed, and from which the
prisoner had thrown the vitriol, still contained a small
quantity, and a bottle also, found on the prisoner, had con-
tained some also. Tho whole of the upper portion of the
injured woman's dress was burnt.
Mr. Bingham having inquired whether the injured
woman and the prisoner were related, was informed by Mr.
Inspector Steer, of the C division, that the prisoner claimed
to be the wife of the man the injured woman was living
with.

The following certificate was then handed in :
"Middlesex Hospital, Jan. 26, IM9.
" This is to certify that Mary Ann Allen has been brought
to this hospital, and remains in an unfit state to be removed.
" Wm. H. Rix, House Surgeon."
The injured woman, it is understood, has lost the sight
of one of her eyes.
The prisoner, who said she meant it for the man, and not
for the woman, was then remanded for a week.

MADRED, JAN. 25.
" English companies are buying, at high prices,
all the wool in Estremadura and other provinces.
" The health of the Infante is better."

The Madrid journals of the 21st publish an
official return, which shows that on the 31st Dec.
last the floating debt was 574,493,868 reals. It
was said that in March next the Queen will pay a
visit of two months' duration to Andalusia. A
royal decree, in the Gazette, allows General Zapa-
tcro y Navas to resign the Captaincy-General of
Andalusia, and appoints General Villalonga y Es-
calada his successor.

The Madrid journals of the 22d contain no news
of political importance. It is asserted in a letter
that the reason why General Zapatero resigned the
Captaincy-general of Andalusia was that the Go-
vernment blamed him for having, in spite of his
orders, shown the same attentions to the Count de

Paris on his visit to Seville as if he were a prince
of a reigning family.

The public meeting at Hamburg, which had been
convoked by 16 heads of the principal families in
the city, took place on Saturday. The resolutions
passed were in favour of the complete revision of
the constitution, and the meeting named a com-
mittee charged to suggest the best means for at-
taining that object.
