NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

" 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 mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab.
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.

THURSDAY
No diminution was visible in the attendance, either at
the rooms or upon the heath. Several ladies again were
present, both in carriages and en horseback, a sun-shiny
morning and a well-filled card having repeated the attrac-
tion of yesterday. If the betters of odds had reason to com-
plain of ill-fortune then, they had ample cause of rejoicing
on Thursday, inasmach as the first six races that came off
were won by a non-favourite. Several books were opened
on the Cambridgeshire, for which Henham Lass was in great
demand ; Asteroid receded slightly, and a new favourite
appeared in Palestro, who was backed for a large sum at
25 to 1, and left off when our despatch was sent at 100 to G.
The last race was run at 5 o'clock, when the sun was sink-
ing in the West, and the fielders had again thrown in upon
two consecutive events.
Sweepstakes of 300 sovs each, h ft, for 2 year-olds; colts,

At the first attempt the horses left the post in a line.
General Hess on the rails on the upper ground came away
with a slight lead, followed by Gouvieux and the Physalis
colt, the others on the lower side headed by Reveille, and
Madge Wildfire lying close up. On rising the Bushes-hill
the leading horses were joined by Reveille, Madge Wildfire,
Exactitude, and Incitatus; Gouvieux at the same time
dropped into the rear. Passing the Bushes, General Hesse
and the Physalis colt were beaten, and shortly after were
passed by Madge Wildfire, Reveille, Exactitude, and Inci-
tatus, the former having a slight lead, which she retained
into the Dip, when Fordham brought out Reveille, who
won very cleverly by three-quarters of a length, two lengths
separating the second and third, three-quarters of a length
dividing the third and fourth; the others beaten off some
distance.

The non-favourite made the running at a strong pace,
followed by Lord Chesterfield's colt into the bottom, where
it looked like a race, but in a few strides after Rogers shook
off his opponent and won a fine race by a head.
Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, for 2-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 71b;

Absinthe jumped away with the running, waited upon by
Dux and FiLosel to within 200 yards of the chair, where the
foreigner swerved and ran across the course, which enabled
Dux to get up and win by two lengths; Filosel finished a
wretched third.

Cr Ap (lefty% All that yon are doing is illegal and
-.Try wrong."
At this mothent a young man was arrested by the
police. An attempt was made to rescue him, and
then the word) was given to the regiment of Fin-
land to advance. The first line rushed forward some
paces with their muskets lowered, but the students
who were all in front of the crowd, remained per-
fectly firm, and several of them even walkedtowards
the soldiers. It appeared now impossible to avoid a
collision. A shudder and murmur passed through
the crowd, and people, began to make the sign of
the cross, whe,o suddenly Gen. Bustrom himself in-
terposed and stopped the exeention of the orders.
The spectators gave a cheer for the students, and
were immediately afterwards sent about their busi;
ness by tile police and mounted gendarmes. Scarcely
any one now remained on the ground except the
students, and it was at last arranged that General
Ignaeieff should be informed, through Gen. Patkul,
of tb.e intention of the deputation to wait upon him,
and of the request it had to convey with reference
to the liberation of Michaelis, Guine, and Pokrov-
-04, and to the mode of effecting arrests in future.
I may mention at once that a satisfactory answer
was only given on the latter point. The three de-
puties, so treacherously made prisoners, are still in
the fortress.
After Gen. Ignatieff's reply had been received,
Count Putiatin made his appearance at the Univer-
sity, and was in his turn begged to use his influence
to get the three deputies released. He declined to
do so; His first interviews with the students have
certainly not been calculated to leave a very charm-
ing impression upon them.
While the students were passing resolutions,
while Gen. Bustrom was haranguing his troops,
while Gen. Patkul was mounting anddismounting
his war horse, an improvised military council Was
held at the Winter Palace, in which Gen. Baranoff,
chief of the staff of the guard; Gen. Plaoutin, com-
mander-in-chief of the guard; and the Grand Duke
Nicolas Nooolaiewitch, commanding the infantry of
the guard, took part. The Grand Duke Michael,
who is president of a select committee, which, in
ease of need, would perform the functions of a
Council of Regency, is said to have written to his
brother a letter on the aspect of affairs in the streets
of St. Petersburg, which caused the latter some
unnecessary alarm.
"This is not merely a students' disturbance," he
exclaimed, "itis a revolt. There were all sorts of
persons in the procession of Monday, and especially
officers. I will take the Chevalier Guards out and
settle the affair. Give me one, two, ten regiments,
if necessary."
General Plaotitin and General Baranoff were both
opposed to this project, and I believe have thought
with General Philipson, from the beginning, that
there was no necessity to resort to armed force at
all. On reflection the Grand Duke seems also to
have arrived at this opinion.
" What ,does PatkuLthen mean bygalloping about
and having fresh horses brought to him, as if he
were on a campaign ?" he inquired. Many persons
had already asked themselves that question.
At last it was decided that Count Putiatin ought
to go and speak to the students himself. On this
recommendation, duly conveyed to him, he went,
and it is already known how much good he did.
It is said that the students of the Military Aca-
demy and of various special schools have resolved
to testify their sympathy for those of the University
in some formal manner. Many of the classes Ni ere
deserted yesterday when the news was received of
what was taking place on the quay, and in some
instances the professors accompanied their pupils to
the great scene of interest. A story is told of a
lecturer at the Medico-Chirurgical School, who,
either from a very original sense of duty or from
sheer absence of mind, continued and concluded his
discourse on some not very celebrated bone long
after the students had left the room.

On the 15th, at 9 a.m., Savannah out of Newmarket en-
gagements.
On the 16th, at 10.40 a.m., Rupert out of the Cam-
bridgeshire.

Washington and sent al 1 over the country, just as
he has got them into c rder, and that his subor-
dinates have failed to robey his instructions. As
to inaccessibility, Lord help the man who refuses
to see everybody who thinks he would like to
see him out in this pe rt of the world! Is not a
general a public serval it, the property of citizen
A, who wants to see if the general's hair iS gray,
or only grizzled ? Is he not the property of
citizen B, who wants to get a contract for gun-
boats made of •indiarubl ier, or of D, who has a
letter to him, and wants a situation on the gene-
ral's staff either as aid.se-de-camp or coachman ?
Pro hoc vice, each citizen represents the whole
republic, and is very tvngy if he cannot monopo-
lise all the time of his servant. Perhaps Gen.
Fremont finds -he cannot do his work and attend
to all corners on thesi; terms. Never shall I for-
get what I saw Mr. Chase go through one fine
day in his bureau soon after my arrival at Wash-
ington. The places in his gift were in the course
of distribution, and on calling on him I found
the passages of the Treasury leading to his apart-
ments blocked np by an eager crowd of all sorts
and conditions of men, who were continually send-
ing in cards or slips of paper by the messengers
at, the doors.. I was admitted, as Mr. Chase had
been good enough to invite me to call upon him,
and, accordingly, when the doors were thrown
open I had an opportunity of witnessing the
eager rush, the solicitations, the pressure, and
obstinacy of the army of applicants who besieged
the good-humoured but resolute, sagacious, and
unbending Ministei. To shake hands warmly
with every man of them, from the banker who
had come to offer millions to the rough dweller
on distant seashores who aspired to the care of a
lighthouse, to be civil and sympathising with
every man, to listen with both ears, to remember
all faces and all names and all handwritings, and all
recommendees--these are no easy matters, but I
am bound to say Mr. Chase did them courteously and
well, although he was assisted to some extent by an
apt secretary who headed off the hungriest and most
tenacious of the pack, and carried them off one by
one into some' back room, as a spider hurries off' a
fly to the inner' darkness. This, however, is part
of the duty of a public 'man in America, and any
departure from it is certain to be resented arid to
make one unpopular, Gell, Fremont is taking a
sure, way to stop all cavilling; he is marching on
the enemy, and if he is victorious all will be for-
given and forgotten, and he will becoine a danger-
ous rival to Gen. M'Clellan for future honours and
power in the State. He has published a letter which
will gist* English readers some idea of the things
to which a public man is exposed in America, and
of the consequences of the rash, reckless, and often-
times malicious statements which are sent forth to
the world by the newspapers, without a care or a
thought of the damage they do, or of their authen-
ticity or truth.

whole of the crew are continuous service men, they
have been granted eight weeks' run ashore, after
which they will join the flagship at 'any of the
naval ports. In Crder to prevent the seamen, seve-
ral of whom had,onsiderable sums in their pos-
session, landing as! Sheerness or Chatham, and
losing their cash,. one of the Medway Company's
steamers was pia 4.alongiide the Chesapeake, and
conveyed the entire crew to the Strood station,
whence they were conveyed to London by
the South-Eastern Railway. The Chesapeake
is to be placed in the steam reserve ordinary at
Chatham; but in consequence of the injuries she re-
ceived to her keel by running on a sunken rock in
the Red Sea, she will require very extensive-repairs.
The screw steamship Conqueror, 99, Capt. E. S.
Sotheby, C. 8., one of the Channel fleet, was placed
yesterday afternoon in the Queen's dock at Keyham
steamyard for the purpose of overhauling her valves
and aperture to discover the cause of the leakage aft.
The screw steam corvette Orestes, 21, Capt. A: H.
Gardner, in Plymouth Sound, had steam up and cat
and fish teakles overhauled yesterday afternoon,
preparatory to sailing for the Cape of Good Hope.
The Eclipse, 4,.screw steam sloop, 700 tons, left
her moorings in 'Sheerness harbour, and proceeded
to the measured mile off Maplin Sand, for the trial
of her engines previously to their being passed over
to the Government authorities by the contractors.
The vessel is fitted with horizontal air-pump trunk
engines, 200-horse nominal poWer. She was tried at
full and half boiler powet., with the following re-
sults :—Witia full boiler power she attained an ave-
rage speed of 10*knots ; revolutions, 98 ; pressure
of steam, 20; vacuum, 25 ; draught of water aft, 10
ft. 8 in. ; forward, 8 ft. With half-boiler power she
attained a speed of 9.274 knots, 76 revolutions. She
was also tried at turning the circle, which she ac-
complished in 4 min.
.5 sec., and the half circle in 2
min. 30 sec. Common screw pitch, 16 ft.; diameter,
11 ft. During the trial, which lasted seven hours,
the Eclipse was under the command of Capt. Schom-
berg, chief of the steam reserve at Sheerness. Mr.
W. Price, inspector of machin:iry afloat, with Mr. S.
Townsend, foreman of engineers, Sheerness dock-
yard, was in attendance on the part of Government.
Mr. Brown, foreman to Messrs. R. Napier and Son,
of Glasgow, had charge of the engines, and repre-
sented his employers. The trial was very satisfac-
tory, but would have been much more so Lad it not
been for the foulness of the bottom of the ship.

The Emperor was expected to return to St. Peters-
burg on the 14th (26th) of October, but it is hoped
now that he will arrive some days earlier. He is
at present, however, in the Caucasus, near Tiflis,
and with the greatest speed could scarcely make
the journey in less than ten days.

The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. C. Mitchell to the
Excellent ; Mr. H. Izod and Mr. W. E. Miller, sub -
lieuts., to the Conqueror; John T. Harris, first•class
assist-engineer, supernumerary in the Indus, ccn-
firmed ; Peter M. Knight, first-class assist-engi-
neer, to the Dotterel; and James J. Finch, second-
class assist.-engineer, to the Industry.
