THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA. With the Reasons why they so often
ppear Incurable.

By F. B. COITRTENAY,
And formerly Surgeon to-the,llietropolitan_lnkrinary for the

Cure'of Strictures of the trethra:

" 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.

SYKES V. SYKES.

Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr. Bevan conducted
the petitioner's case; Mr. Macqueen appeared for
the respondent.
The petitioner, Mrs. Hannah Sykes, prayed for a
judicial separation from her husband, William
Sykes, on the ground of cruelty. At the time of
their marriage, in :Tune, 1857, the petitioner was
the widow of a Mr. Perrin, by whom she had three
children, and was carrying on a good business as a
cabinetmaker and broker in Manchester. It ap-
peared from her evidence that within a month of
the marriage the respondent commenced a course
of brutal ill treatment, and. continued it during the
remainder of their cohabitation. He used the most
foul and violent language, threatened "to be her
end," beat her with his fists, dragged her from her
bed by her hair, and kicked her when she was in a
state of pregnancy. She was more than once
obliged to take refuge with her neighbours, and at
last, in a few months, left his house, but was forced
by him to return. He repeated the acts of violence
of which he had before been guilty, and was further
guilty of cruelty to her children by her first hus-
band. On the .17th of July she finally left him.
The respondent pleaded a denial of the cruelty
and condonation. In support of the latter plea he
stated that a few days after the final separation,
and before the presentation of the petition, his
wife came to his house and allowed him to have
conjugal intercourse with her. He also mentioned
subsequent occasions on which they had met, and
again had intercourse.
Mrs. Sykes was recalled in reply, and denied
that she ever had intercourse with her husband
after her separation except on one occasion, when
she called upon him to talk about a pecuniary ar-
rangement, and stated that then it was without her
consent and against her wish.
The jury found that William Sykes had been
guilty of cruelty, and that Mrs. Sykes had not
condoned it.
His lordship decreed a judicial separation.
EVANS V. EVANS.

Mr. Huddlestoni4.C.,and Mr. Field appeared
for the petitioner.
Mrs. Lydia Evans, the petitioner, prayed for a
dissolution of marriage. She was married to the
respondent in 1835, at 'Worcester, where she carried
on business as a'dressmaker, and he was employed
as a plasterer. They afterwards cohabited at Bir-
mißir-
mingham.He was in the habit of treating her
with great cruelty, and frequently sold off all the
furniture she had purchased with her earnings. In
1850 he was bound over to keep the peace towards
her for twelve months. At the expiration of that
period he applied for admission to her house and
threatened to kill her. She refused to admit him
and he went away, and he never afterwards re-
turned or contributed to her support. He has
since been living at Hackney with another woman.
The respondent, in his answer, denied his wife's
allegations, and made various charges against her,
but did not appear to support them.
The jury found that the respondent had been
guilty of adultery and of cruelty, but not of deser-
tion.

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.

Just Published, prig ls., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps,
SECOND LIFE : ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-
ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical
Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-
ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated
from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi-
tioner of twenty years' standing.
Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of
SECOND LIFE.

THE FRENCH PRESS.

The Independance Beige gives the following as a
copy of a circular which has recently been addressed
by the French Government to the prefets, in ex-
planation of the Emperor's speech :

.
M. le Prefet,—The speech delivered by tP arishe Emperorl2 on
opening the Legislative Chambers has become the Subject
of very contradictory comments, the result of which is to
agitate and unsettle the public mind. This is an evil which
must be remedied. The policy of the Emperor is as de-
finite as it is elevated. Immoveably established, as he has
said, in the path of right, justice, and national power, it is
never provocative, but will never be pusillanimous. It is
ready to manifest itself wherever the cause of justice and
civihsation is to be assisted.
It is important, M. le Prefet, that the journals published
in your department should also be inspired with this noble
sentiment, and that they should say to the population, for
this is the thought of the Emperor, that war without a le-
gitimate motive is impossible, but that if the preservation
of his honour demands it, if one of those causes should arise
to which France is at all times passionately attached, the
Government will not retreat from the idea of war, for war
would then be a necessity. Let the papers say, and say
again, that towards whatever result the will of the Empe-
ror may lead it, it is the duty of the nation which has o
often received the benefit of his wisdom, and which he has
made so great, to follow without hesitation.
A danger greater than any that can be incurred by war
is, that the spirit of the nation may become careless of all
but material interests, and forget the traditions of honour
and patriotism.
In this spirit the editors of journals should write, If it is
not in the power of the press to raise its languago to the
tone adopted by the Emperor, which has made itself heard
throughout Europe, it can at least abstain from weakening
the effect of this interpretation by manifesting egotism or
pusillanimity.—Receive, &c.,

the supplemental charter applied for subsequently to the
last annual meeting has been granted by her Majesty's

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —Feb. 18.

MANSION-HO U S s Toye,: William
Sodo, Emma Richards, Alfred Newbury, .and
James Beaumont were charged with having re-
ceived large quantities of silk handkerchiefs which
had been stolen from the premises of Messrs. Va-
vasseur, Taylor, and Co., of Cannon-street West,
silk manufacturers, on the night •of the 7th, or the
morning of the Bth of January last.
Mr. Wontner, for the prosecution, said—lt was
his duty to enter upon an inquiry which must
necessarily be one of very considerable length, in-
asmuch as the circumstances attending a very large
robbery had to be investigated, the premises of the
prosecutors having been entered and property to
the amount of £l,looor £1,200 swept away. About
a week ago it was discovered that a portion of the
property was in the possession of Foye and Sodo,
the former keeping a linendraper's shop in the
neighbourhood of Bethnal-green, and the latter
having formerly carried on the business of a weaver.
These two prisoners had been apprehended in con-
sequence of statements made by a commercial tra-
veller named Renvoize to Hayden and Webb, the
detective officers. Shortly after they were re-
manded the prisoner Newbury was apprehendedstolen
by
Knight, the officer, with a quantity of the
property in his possession, and onthe preceding
day Emma Richards (the feniiale
prisoner)risoner

SERVIA.

It has been already mentioned that Prince
Milosch had issued a proclamation to the people.
It was as follows :

" Noble nation and dear brethren.—Your old Hospodar
Milosch is again in the midst of you ; and he moistens with
his tears of joy that same country which he delivered with
you from oppression. Fate perhaps decided that we should
have been 20 years without seeing each other in order that
we might be better acquainted. When abroad I wished to
see my country, and you have been on your own territory
like foreign orphans. Thanks to a merciful Creator, my.
life has been preserved in order that we, who have
never been separated in heart, might again come
together. You, my faithful nation, have again raised me
through the Skuptschina of St. Andre, to the dignity of 4ere-
ditary Prince of Servia, with the hereditary rights, which
had been formerly granted to the Obrenowitch dynasty by
the hatti scheriff issued to that effect. In greeting, by this
proclamation, my well-beloved nation, I once more declare
that during my life my only object will be to consolidate
its happiness and its prosperity, as I in my youth pursued
the object of its deliverance. I4u deliver up this precious
inheritance to my son, the legal heir to the Servian throne
and your future chief, Prince Michael. I trust in Provi-
dence that my faithful Servian nation will in the future
support me and my successor with the same ardent love
that has hitherto led us to the happiness, the glory, and the
noble pride of the Servian. nation."

gratuity of £l5. A similar ceremony took place the
previous day at Fort Cumberland, the head-quarters
of the Artillery Companies of the Royal Marines,
when the gallant Colonel presented Colour-Sergeant
Small, Royal Marine Artillery, with the silver
medal and the £l5 gratuity from the Lords of the
Admiralty—also awarded for long And meritorious
service.

THE EAST.

We have received the. Constantinople journals
and letters to the 9th, brought by the Euphrate.
The intelligence of the second election of Colonel
Couza, which reached the Turkish capital by tele-
graph, had caused the greatest sensation, as it was
considered completely contrary to the stipulations
of the Convention of Paris. The unionist party
had concocted a plan, the Constantinople journals
state, fOr electing M. Nicolas Golesca in both pro-
vinces, but when they found that M. Couza had
been successful in Moldavia, they substituted his
name. The French steam advice boat Salamandre
had left Constantinople for Alexandria, carrying an
imperial firman sanctioning the execution of thirty
of the sanguinary rioters at Djeddah. The Porte
had also been applied to, to levy an extraordinary
contribution,of 900,000 f. on the town as a punish-
ment for the massacre, but no order to that effect
has been sent out by the Salamandre. A few months
ago the Porte ordered surveys to be made for the
draining of the extensive plain of Broussa, which,
but for the fevers prevailing there, would be an
inexhaustible source of agricultural wealth. These
surveys having been completed, the Porte has im-
posed on Broussa a contribution of two millions of
piastres for the expense of the draining operations,
of which that town -will derive the principal ad-
vantages.

LIVERPOOL-FEB. 18.

At the market this morning there was a fair attendance
of buyers, but the business passing was limited, and no fur-

retail, at about previous rates. Oats and oatmeal firm.
Egyptian beans are held for a trifling advance. Peas and
barley without change. The market ruled dull throughout
but holders showed no anxiety to force sales.

The rifles were supplied a short time since, and the mem-

The head-quarters and one of the wings of the
86th (Royal County Down) Regiment, under the
command of Col. Robt. Henry Lowth, C. 8., arrived
at Gravesend, from Bombay, on Monday afternoon,
in the troopships Genghis 'Khan and Kennington,
the head-quarters and band being on board the
Genghis Khan, and the remaining companies, un-
der the command of Lieut. Colonel Win. Kier
Stuart, on board the Kennington. The 86th has
seen a great deal of service in India, in which coun-
try it has been stationed 17 years, having left
England in May, 1842, the regiment taking a dis-
tinguished part in Sir Chas. Napier's campaign in
1845. Two more companies of the regiment are
daily expected to arrive at Gravesend in the
Northumberland. The 86th is very strong, not-
withstanding its casualties in India, the regiment,
with the two companies on their passage home,
numbering upwards of 600 men of all ranks. The
86th Regiment is to be quartered at Gosport, to
which station the depot companies will proceed
from Buttevant.

Lieut.-Colonel W. R. Maxwell, in command of
the detachment of Royal Marines serving on board
the Aboukir, 91, screw steamer, at Portsmouth, is
ordered to give over the command to Captain J.
Huskisson, of the Chatham division, who proceeds
from head-quarters this day, Lieut.-Colonel Max-
well having been promoted to the Staff of the
Portsmouth division.

The 2d Battalion Scots Fusilier Guards and the
76th Regiment will move to Dublin from the Cur-
ragh Camp, to be stationed at the former garrison,
on the Ist September. The 2d Battalion Scots
Fusilier Guards will most probably be replaced by
a battalion of the Grenadier Guards towards the
end of September.
The Essex Yeomanry will assemble at Chelmsford
on the 17th September, for eight days' duty. Major
Palmer, the commander, proposes to allow any
gentleman or independent yeoman to join in drill,
so as to qualify themselves for assisting volunteer
corps. The Essex Yeomanry force now consists of
a battery of six field guns, three squadrons of
mounted riflemen, a detachment of Lancers, and a
small staff of engineers.
