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 P. B. COURTENAY,

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 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.

MR. SPURGEON'S N EW TABERNACLE

This edifice is now very nearly finished. During
the last month the friends of the Rev. C. H. Spur-
geon, as well as the rev. gentleman himself, have
been using every exertion to raise the sum required
for completing the building. The efforts made have
been singularly successful; and no doubt is now
entertained that by the 26th March next the doors
will be thrown open for Divine worship, entirely
free of debt and without encumbrance of any kind.
It is estimated that above a million persons have
contributed towards rearing this gigantic edifice.
The sum spent will have been £30,000. Already
£28,000 has been raised, and the remaining £2,000
there is every prospect of obtaining, The " lest
effort" is now being made. On Monday evening
last a meeting was held in the Tabernacle, at
which there were about 4,000 persons present, on
which occasion the Hor.. A. Kinnaird, M.P., pre-
sided. The hon. gentleman said he was truly
hai:mY in testifying by his presence the heartfelt
sym thy he had with Mr, Spurgeon in the com-
pletionthis great enterprise. The accommoda-
tion affordedto so vast a congregation and the
scientific mo.nnt: r in which the entire building was
constructed reflet: ted great credit both on the
architect and the buil It was so admirably
adapted for sound that a
voice of less volume than
the rev gentleman's,
if ordinarily modulated, might
reach the ears of the entire „mass. Mr. Spurgeon
said that when he first broached the idea of erecting
a place of worship on so gigant; c a scale it was
pronounced as absurd ; it might be s great idea,
but at the same time it was a great absuidity, said
many who were now alive to see its com,7lFtion•
He predicted that in a few years this 61 atourd
idea" of his would be imitated by more than 0120
of those who had pooh-poohed the present under-
taking. He wished the greatest success might ,
attend any future effort of the kind, for he could
with all sincerity pray that many such buildings
might be erected in the metropolis. In return for
the kind feeling evinced towards him by his
brethren of other sections of the christian church
than that to which he belonged, he would say that
they were welcome to hold their annual meetings
in the New Tabernacle without any charge what-
ever, a feeling which was warmly reciprocated by
the whole assembly. Several gentlemen addressed
the meeting, after which a collection was made,
and the result of the last month's efforts showed
that nearly £9OO had been collected. Opening
services by the different denominations, and a
bazaar presided over by Mrs. Spurgeon, will occupy
the next month. It is a fact worthy of note that
not a single accident to life or limb has taken
place during the whole of the erection of this truly
magnificent structure.

THE PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille prem.,
and the short exchange on London is 25.22 i per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 1-10th dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.5 i per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, rather
more than 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Ham-
burg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 105; to 106 per cent., which, as compared
with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the
exchange is against England. But the loss of interest occa-
sioned by the delay in receiving back gold from the American
Mints leaves no profit now on the transmission of gold to the
United States.

According to the New York advices, the total
of gold received from this side had reached
£2,166,000, leaving £915,000 yet to arrive. Of
the amount received, however, about £1,000,000
or £1,200,000 had not yet passed into circulation,
owing to delay at the Mint. It was expected that
each future packet to England would carry back
some parcels of sovereigns.

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF lIER GRACE THE DUCHEBO
OP GORDON.—The inhabitants of Huntley and neighbour-
hood were much alarmed, at the beginning of this week,
to learn that her Grace the Duchess of Gordon was seriously
ill. It seems that the health of the Duchess has not been
good since the beginning of January ; but it was not till
a few days ago that any just fears were entertained regard-
ing it. Dr. Kilgour, from Aberdeen, was summoned by tele-
graph on Tuesday to attend her grace. We are glad to
learn that the latest report is rather a favourable one, and
that there is some hope of, at least, a partial recovery, and
a further prolongation of her grace's valuable life.—/301.-

lidated fund in gross the sums payable to the Bank of

THE PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mine prem.,
and the short exchange on London is 25.24 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 1-10th dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.5} per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, rather
more than 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Ham-
burg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 1051 to 106 per cent., which, as compared
with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the
exchange is against England. But the loss of interest occa-
sioned by the delay in receiving back gold from the American
Mints leaves no profit now on the transmission of gold to the
United States.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Although the supply of beasts here to-day was by no
means extensive, the demand for all kinds ruled very inac-
tive at Monday's currency. Sheep—the show of which
was rather on the increase—moved off steadily at full quo-
tations, the best of old Downs having sold at 6s. per 8 lbs.
Calves were quite as dear as on Monday, with a good
demand. The best veal was worth ss. Bd. per 8 lbs. We
have to report an improved sale for pigs at extreme rates ;
but milch cows were very dull.

BULLION.

On the motion of Mr. HANKEY the following was
ordered :—Return of the amount of bullion purchased and
sold by the Bank of England, distinguishing gold from
silver, and bar gold from foreign gold coin, in each month
from 31st Dec., 1859, to 31st Dec., 1860; also the excess of
payments to or of receipts from the public, of British gold
coin ; and also the amount received from the Mint during
the same period (in continuation of Parliamentary paper,
No. 86, of session 1860).
REDUCTION IN THE DOCKYARDS.
Sir F. SMITH asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
whether a considerable reduction in the number of ship-
wrights and other workmen in her Majesty's dockyards
had taken place since the close of the last session of Par-
liament, or is now contemplated ; and if so, whether it was
in consequence of any intention to substitute iron for
wooden ships of war, or to employ private builders more
extensively than heretofore.
Lord C. PAGET said that no reduction to any extent
had yet taken place, but it was contemplated to reduce a
certain number of men employed in the dockyards next
month. Such reduction was in consequence of the
substitution alluded to.
RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

In reply to Mr. BENTINCI,
Mr. M. GIBSON said that the facilities afforded by
railway companies to the railway inspectors to obtain
every information in reference to railway accidents rendered
unnecessary the recommendation of the committee last year
with respect to issuing commissions of inquiry. It was
not intended to introduce any bill to interfere with the free
action of railway companies. The inspectors had reported
on the railway accidents that had occurred since the pro-
rogation of Parliament, and their report would be laid
before both houses.
TRADE MARKS.

In reply to Mr. BASS,
Mr. M. GIBSON said that two bills had been prepared
on this subject, and would be introduced in a fortnight.
THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.
The Royal speech was considered, and the usual order
for supply was agreed to.

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex

TILE ARMY.

A circular memorandum, signed "A. Horsfora,
Deputy Adjt.-Gen.," has been issued to the army at
home and abroad, calling attention to the following
regulations from the War-office respecting the
appointment of clerks in the purveying and manu-
facturing departments of the War-office :—" With
reference to the letter from this department
of the 27th of November, 1860, relative to the
employment of retired non-commissioned officers
in the purveyor's and manufacturing depart-
ments, I am directed by the Secretary of State for
War to acquaint you that having had the subject
