rpHE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA ; showing why they so often appear In-
curable, when in reality they might be removed by the most
simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY,
And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary fur the

Curer' 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 stEctures of the urethra. The ClO6l
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 ♦aluable
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 SUN.
LONDON, FRIDAY, DEC. 30, 1859.

DEATH OF LORD MACAULAY.

It is with the most poignant regret that we

make this melancholy announcement. Here, in-

deed, we have but too much reason to mourn the

loss of a Great English Worthy, whose demise thus

suddenly and unexpectedly, cannot but be regarded

as in every way premature. A broken column
here again would be the aptest monument—a noble
Corinthian column incomplete and shattered, with
its ornate capital splintered and rolled in the dust
by the side of the broad and stately pediment.

Lord .11AcAtTLAY has abruptly passed away from
us in mid-career—his grand historic masterpiece
yet unfinished. He has perished in the midst of

his labours with the evidences of his herculean

toil littered around him. Who will venture to take

up the broken thread of that gorgeous tapestry,
now but partially woven into the reticulations of

that vast canvass ? Who will dare to handle that

keen chisel ? Who can hope to wield that pon-

derous mallet ? There appears almost a fatality about
the continuation of our English History from the

date of the Revolution. Here is the second inter-

rupted attempt within the compass we may say of

one single generation. Sir JAIIES MACKINTOSH

had scarcely time, as it were, to sketch a few of

the principle figures dimly in outline not so
dimly however, but we could discern the touch of
that master-hand and the dignity of those heroic

proportions—when the brush was suddenly

snatched from the artist's grasp—" Something

having happened" to him, as TIIACKFRAY

exquisitely expresses the solemn truth in

Esmond, " Something which must happen to us
all." Death has now renewed in a more painful

and a more irreparable degree in the instance of

Lord MAC.kULAY, the national grief and dis-

appointment caused some years back in the
instance of Sir JAMES MAcKlyrosii.

were men of rare accomplishments, with a

wide and ample scope of knowledge—they

INTOSII. ►Yhile Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH takes
high rank among our most luminous writers and
our most eloquent rhetoricians, Lord MACAULAY
assumed by right not a high rank but the highest.
It would s:arcely be exaggeralion to pronounce
him at once to have been incomparably the noblest

RAILWAY DIVIDENDS.

(From Heropath.)
The LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN dividend is ex-
pected to be at the rate of 41 per cent.
The MIDLAND, it is said, will show a disposable balance
equal to 51 per cent. per annum, with a respectable balance
over. It is, however, doubtful whether they will divide to
this extent, as there are some old out-standing debts still
to be settled.
The LANCASITIRE AND YORKSHIRE dividend will, it is
said, be at the rate of 41 per cent.
The CALEDONIAN will, it is said, show a good 41 per
cent., but it is not certain such will be recommended, as the
expenses of the Hawick Bill of last session have not yet
been settled.

The 41ERwIcK dividend is spoken of as not being less
than 4/ per cent-.
NORTH Bnrrisn.—Well-informed parties say the divi-
dend will be 31 per cent.
The:SouTn-WEsTEßN:dividend, it is:understood, will be

and as regards these a reduction of is per qr. was noted.
Dry samples, however, nearly maintained late rates; the

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

Since our last report, fair average supplies of potatoes
have come to hand coastwise and by land carriage. On the
whole, a steady business is doing in most kinds, at previous
currencies. Last week's imports were 203 tons from Dun-

WOOL MARKET.

We continue to have a steady demand for all kinds of
!nglish wool, and late rates are well supported. Foreign
and colonial qualities move off steadily, at extreme quota-
tions. Last week's imports were 157 bales from Sydney,
60 from Hambro', 27 from Alexandria, 17 from the Cape,
249 from Algoa Bay, 95 from Buenos Ayres, and 394 from
Taganrog.

persons have been taken prisoners. _ _

We have to announce the death of General the
Duke de Plaisance (Anne Charles Lebrun), Grand
Chancellor of the Legion of Honour and senator.
The deceased was born in Paris on the 28th of
December, 1775, and was the eldest son of the
Arch• Treasurer of the Empire, to whom he suc-
ceeded as duke and peer in 1825.
Considerable sensation was created at Marseilles
on Thursday last by an announcement in the even•
ing that the Minister of Marine would receive
sealed proposals, on the 25th inst., at the Navy-
office in Marseilles, for the supply of 50,000 kilo•
grammes of wheaten flour, 50,000 kilogrammes rye
flour, 20,000 litres vinegar, and 195,000 litres of
red wine de campagne. This announcement caused
the greater surprise, as a large contract had been
concluded a few days since at Toulon by the Mini-
ster of Marine for the supply of similar articles.

It is said that General Zapatero, Captain-
General of Andalusia, has resigned, and that he is

The Madrid journals of the 17th state that the
new Bill on the press drawn up by the Government
is conceived in a liberal spirit. A committee of the
Chamber of Deputies had declared iu favour of the
Government project for setting apart the large sum
of 2,000,000,000 reals for public works. In the
Chamber, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in reply
to a question as to whether the Government was in

An erroneous impression exists that public announcements
on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons,
but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered
practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are
legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great
importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are
equally requisite.
In the new edition of `Self-Preservation,' facts of para-
mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the
prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in-
volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers
without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to
the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation.
In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the
influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri-
minate excesses, improper diet, hardship, or by injudicious
treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con-
junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene-
rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had
been pronounced impossible.

The. Lord Chancellor requested Mr. Rolt, Q.C., to point
out to him a particular passage in the cross-examination of
the appellant in this case, as he could not find it on search-
ing for it amongst the affidavits in the cause this morning.
Judgment will be given in this important appeal cause
by the Lord. Chancellor and Lords Justices on Wednesday
morning about half-past ten o'clock.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sit John Romilly.)
WYNNE V. HUGHES-JUDGMENT.

His Honour the Master of the Rolls said—This is a mo-
tion which is made for the purpose of staying proceedings
in a cause in the Court of Chancery arising between
the same parties, and the points in dispute are
the same as in a cause between the same parties in
the Duchy Court of Lancaster. The object of the suit is
the same in both courts ; and where there are two courts
that have, or should have, co-extensive jurisdiction in the
same suit, and are so constituted in point of form, the ques-
tion is whether, under such an application, the authority
(or judge) of this court will stay proceedings in the suit in
this court on account of the proceedings in the other court,
and declare and pronounce such an order as will allow eithe;.-
to proceed. But it is necessary to consider the results of the,
cases in these courts—in both courts—in that court will
this court.

This man Edwards, in August; 1848, executed two deeds
which contained in po;nt of fact a power to sell all his 'pro-
perty. The one deed contained a power of sale, and. the
other a declaration of his trusts. Part of his real e: states
were situated in the Duchy of Lancaster, and part in other
counties in England. His real estates within and without
the jurisdiction of the Duchy Court of Lancaster wore sold
and converted into personalty, and after his debts w ire paid
by his trustees a surplus remained in their hands, and the
question raised was, whether the surplus of the sale of the
estates was realty or personalty, and in what proportions,
in what counties, and under what jurisdiction ?
His Honour was of opinion that he could not interfere
with the suits of the paxlies,—both parties might have
different interests in different courts. The plaintiff might
have very different interests in his suit in Chancery from
what he weuld have in a suit in the Duchy Court of Lan-
caster, and it is one thing to say that he cannot go on so
easily in that court as in this—the forms of procedure may
be different and may affect his case, but the, question is,—
can I extend the suit in Chancery to the suit in the Duchy
Court of Lancaster, and restrain farther proceedings in that
court ? I cannot. I must refuse tHs motion, but at the
same time I must reserve the costs. He said the plaintiff
might be entitled to claim on both estates, and therefore
he was entitled to decree, but his Honour refused this
