FRANCE.

" The alarming aspect of affairs in the United
States," says the Moniteur," the raising of the rate
of discount in England, and the downward tendency
of the public funds at Vienna, have, within the last
few days, produced an unfavourable effect on the
French market. But to these facts, the importance
of which has perhapi been exaggerated; it is wrotig
to add pr,:tarts Of depreciation which are altogether
unfounded. Within the last few days a report has
been set afloat that, the Government would be ob-
liged to have recourse to a loan; there is no ground

for such a rumour. Treasury bonds, which, on the
Ist January, 1859, amounted to 195 millions, and
on the Ist January, 1860, to 141 millions, do not
exceed 75 millions at the present moment."

A Paris letter in the Independance says :
" M. Troplong, President of the Senate, in his
address to the Emperor on New Year's Day, made
known to his Majesty that the usual feelings of
devotedness of that body were doubled by the
gratitude with which they were inspired by the
decree of the 24th November. The Emperor
replied that he relied on the co-operation of the
Senate to second him in the reforms with which he
was occupied for the improvement of the constitu-
tion. Such was the sense if not the exact words of
his Majesty. .I do not exactly know what language
was made use of by Count de Morny in the name
of the Legislative Body, but I can state that his
Majesty replied by a phrase speaking of his pre-
occupations for the grandeur of France."

AI—RETEIRN OF TESTIMONIALS.
This was a dividend sitting under the estate of
John rili ah, the celebrated musical teacher, who
recently • obtained his certificate. It was stated
that Mr. Bell, the official assignee, had about £2,000
of assets in hand; but as large claims by partially
secured creditors are expected to be made against
the estate, the amount of dividend cannot at pre-
sent be stated with any accuracy.
Mr. Lloyd, the solicitor to the assignees, sub-
mitted to the court a memorial, signed by all the
creditors, in which they recommended that various
testimonials, presented to Mr. Hullah by different
classes of his pupils, should be given up to him.
They consist of a silver saver, a silver tea and
coffee service, and a musical conductor's chair.

" SANITAS AC FELICITAS."

Just published, 71st thous Ind, price is., post free for 13
stamps, sold by Mann, 39, Cor nhill, London ; or direct from
the Author.
DR. LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting
from pernicious habits contracted in Youth, excesses in Man-
hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En-
gravings from Life, representing the various Organs in
Health and Disease.

The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in
great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly
qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20
years has made the Diseases arising usually from
Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im-
pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter
and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest
hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in
form, closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in-
nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the
necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred
years before the sufferers were horn, from accident or the in-
fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred
Afflictions. elating back, in too numerous instances, to a period
long preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex-
perience.
A professional prejudice, which hanpily is now fast disap-
pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in
some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time
almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the
general designation " Nervous and Physical Debility," though
these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre-
valent than any others.
The consequence of so important a department of pathology'
being neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in
question, virtually repelled from consultation with prac-
titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into
the hands of unqualified Empiries, sometimes assuming titles
of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found
in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal
penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of
these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the
medical. profession. Those who may have a suspicion
that any of the observations here made have peculiar applica-
tion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare
in which practised science cannot, fully realise long-deferred
hopes, remove all causes of mutual reproach, and replace
chroalc ,embitterment by permanent content.
Dr. Lallert. M.D., Honorary Member of the London Hos-
pita" Medical Society, &c., is the only legally qualified regis-
tered practitioner who, for 20 years, has devoted his attention
to the treatment of these disorders. At home for masulta-
tatioil daily, from 10 till 2, and from 6 till 8.

At a Meeting held at the Royal United Service 'lnstitu-
tion on the Bth May, 1860,

We find the following in a Turin letter of the

26th, state that things continued in the same situa-
tion. Gen. Fanti, before his departure for Turin,
visited the works of the siege, and expressed him-
self highly satisfied both with the intelligence with
which they had been planned and the rapidity with
which, in spite of the difficulties of ground and of
weather, they had been executed. An officer of
the general's staff, who accompanied him in his
visit, assures me that about the loth January next
the Sardinians will be able to open such a fire that
the Neapolitan Artillerymen will be obliged to
abandon several of their batteries.

questioned. Thousands, who have tried it for pectoral com-

FRANCE.

" The alarming aspect of affairs in the United
States," says the Moniteur, "the raising of the rate
of discount in England, and the downward tendency
of the public funds at Vienna, have, within the last
few days, produced an unfavourable affect on the
Freneh market. But to these facts, the importance
of which has perhaps been exaggerated, it is wrong
to add pretexts of depreciation which are altogether
unfounded. Within the last few days a report has
been set afloat that the Gov6rnment would be ol-
liged to have recourse to a loan; there is no ground

for such a rumour. Treasury bonds, which, on the
Ist January, 1859, amounted to 195 millions, and
on the Ist January, 1860, to 141 millions, do not
exceed 75 millions at the present moment."

A Paris letter in the independance says :
" M. Troplong, President of the Senate, in his
address to the Emperor on New Year's Day, made
known to his Majesty that the usual feelings of
devotedness of that body were doubled by the
gratitude with which they were inspired by the
decree of the 24th November. The Emperor
replied that he relied on the co-operation of the
Senate to second him in the reforms with which he
was occupied for the improvement of the constitu-
tion. Such was the sense if not the exact words of
his Majesty. I do not exactly know what language
was made use of by Count de Morny in the name
of the Legislative Body, but I can state that his
Majesty replied by a phrase speaking of his pre-
occupations for the grandeur of France."

useful in outward injuries, sores, and blemishes ; but when
rubbed upon the skiu it penetrates internally and acts most
wholesomely on the internal organs, both as regards their

oN THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, 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 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.

THE SCINDE RAILWAY.

A recent number of the .Kurrachee Herald C'
tains an analysis of the last report of the Scili
Railway Company ; and the comments of the elit:r
who, it must be remembered, is writing with $
sonal knowledge of the undertaking, are ceir,
different from those constantly made by the el/lI'Do

conceived that a local journal would have;ctO
temerity to attempt wilfully to pervert Islii
or to disparage an undertaking if it re1:01
presented an appearance of prosperity,
on this ground the shareholders, sll°-00
they see the journal in question, will of
doubt be extremely anxious to ascertain wbieillly
the two diametrically opposite statements is re° rdtruthful. The report recently issued by the 13?ilog,
was replete with the most encouraging explanatl°
leading the proprietary to assume that the iriira.og

were unexceptionally good, while the 19;11

MAB LBOROUGH-STREET.

CREATING A DISTURBANCE AT THE NEW ROYALTY
THEATRE.—A. DANGEROUS FELLOW.—Edward Tree, of
47, Marylebone .lane, employed at the New Royalty Theatre,
Soho, was charged with creating a disturbance at the
theatre, and violently assaulting one of the officers on duty
at the theatre.

Michael O'Shaughnessy, 37 C, said—Between eight and
nine last night I was on duty at the New Royalty Theatre,
when my attention was called to the prisoner, who was
causing a great annoyance on the stage, and elsewhere. I
got the prisoner down stairs, and without the least pro-
vocation- he struck me a violent blow in the mouth and
cut my lip. The prisoner then behaved with such violence
that it took two or three to hold him down till another
constable came to my assistance. I also received a serious
sprain of my thumb. Daring the whole time the prisoner
used the most beastly language before the young females
and others employed at the theatre.
Mr. Mansfield—Was he drunk ?
O'Shaughnessy—He had been drinking, but well knew
what he was about.

Prisoner—lt was through not having my wages on
Saturday night.
A gentleman, residing in Warwick-street: said —Last
night I had occasion to go behind the scenes connected with
a literary matter. I then understood that the prisoner, who
was employed there as a carpenter, refused to let the cur-
tain rise, and threatened that if it did he would cut the
cord and let it fall again. Mr. Goulard paid tha prison
at once some money he claimed, and the prisoner's language
was very violent. As soon as the prisoner saw the con-
stable coming, he ran away off the stage. I was obliged
afterwards to interfere, or I believe the prisoner, who had
two knives in his possession, would have stabbed the
officer. Mr. Goulard did not wish to press the case against
the prisoner, as far as the disturbance in the theatre was
ccncemed ; but as to the assault on the officer, that was for
his worship.
Prisoner—l have been employed at several theatres, and

was never turned out of one before.
Mr. Mansfield—l invariably find that the most frightful
assaults are committed by men like the prisoner, under cir-
cumstances of this kind—the prisoner having knives in his
possession—and that the most respectable officers are gene-
ral y the victims of such ruffians. I shall fine you £5 or
a month.

1771 ST. LAWRENCE.

It appears to be the intention of Government to
despatch the Australasian and the Persia, between
the 15th and the 20th inst., with troops, 8.:c., to the
St. Lawrence, with the view to effecting a landing
either at Bsc or, if possible, at the Riviere duLouP•
It is understood they have received information
both from Sir Alexander 111‘Nab, who sailed fro'
Liverpool to-day in the America, and from one of
the Quebec pilots who came home in the Jura, that
such a landing is practicable; and these opinions
are also corroborated by other parties conversant
with the river St. Lawrence. The shores are, as it
rule, ice bound at the end of December, the time at
which the steamers may be expected to arrive ; bet
this ice, it is said, does not extend more than tvi'e
or three miles into the stream, and, if this be the ease'
there can surely be no great difficulty in overcoming
the impediment. Riviera du Loup is some wile:
higher up the St. Lawrence than Father Point, and
Bic is between the two. The advantage, however'
in landing at Riviera du Loup is that the railway
from Quebec terminates there, and thus a long'
tedious, and fatiguing land journey will be saved'
All, however, acquainted with the St. Lawrence d°
not agree in the belief as to the facility for navie;
ting this part of it at the end of December, and
these views are in some degree strengthened by olia
article in the Quebec Morning Chronicle of the 23,
of November, received by the steamer Nova Scotian
to-day. The editor is combating a suggestion;
thrown out by the Montreal Courier, that tsl
steamers should be sent down below and kept rillY
ning throughout the winter between Riviera (11'1
Loup and the lower province ports, so as to naaill:
' tain their communications with Europe via I-It,
fax, and be independent of the Portland route. '''',
this the Chronicle states in reply that the idea is
wild—there is no harbour at Riviere du Loup, 83,1 t
the oft-mentioned harbour of Bie is valueless Res,
anything but boats. Gaspe is frozen up, the iles:i
tigouche is sealed as soon as the St. Lawrence, Of
Shedia is closed also. The last named are three°
the lower ports outside the river, and communil
ting direct with the Gulf of St. Lawrence. A°
observes the Chronicle, even the strait between
Anticosti and the South shore is so blockaded 13.7 r
icebergs in the winter as to bo impassable. Aftee
all, the editor of the Chronicle is dealing with 00
winter as a whole, and it may be well worth 0
trial of entering the river St. Lawrence in Deee°l;
ber, for, with such experienced commanders as tiles
of the Persia and Australasian, they will know b
fore they get into difficulties whether it be
