ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
V 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, Dec. Ist, 1858.

TILE WEATHER AND TILE PARKS.

The frost having again set in with great severity,
the ice upon the various ornamental waters in the
different parks has again obtained not only that
solidity it possessed last week but has now a much
finer and smoother surface than it previously pos-
sessed ; in fact, it may be termed just the sort of
ice to suit the experienced skater; the consequence
was that many thousand persons, including ladies
and gentlemen, members of the Skating Club and
others of almost every grade. in society, streamed
from an early hour in the morning until late at
night to the different frozen waters. The original
intention was to have had a grand monster fair upon
the Serpentine in Hyde-park. This, to some extent
was abandoned, owing to the ice not beinc, thought
sufficiently strong, in consequence of the rapid
thaw that lasted two days and nights, to bear
with safety. Nevertheless, an immense number of
amusement tents and marquees were pitched upon
the ice, which were used for dancing. There were
likewise a great number of refreshment tents for
the sale of wine, spirits, beer, ham and beef, tea and
coffee, and other articles of food. Upwards of
6,000 persons, many of whom were skaters, with
lighted links, took up their positions at the east
end, and formed themselves in procession, being
headed by a brass band. After going through
several feats of skating, they skated back to about
midway of the bridge leading to Albert-gate, and
the Royal Humane Society's Receiving-house, where
the skaters took up their positions a la militaire—
one side the attacking and the other the defensive
party. A .sham fight, Carried on with fire-works
of different descriptions, took place, the effect of
which, as seen from the banks, was singular and
striking. In the course of the evening, several
accidents occurred, but none of them were of a
fatal nature. _ _ _

The frost has returned with almost its former
severity in the eastern counties, the thermometer
having sunk several degrees below freezing point,
with a pioreing easterly wind and snow. Up to last
evening there was every prospect of its continuance.

THE SUN.
LONDON, TUESDAY, JAN. 15, 1861.

Going—going—going—gone? No, not the last
just yet; but positively on the 19th, come what will.
So says the Imperial auctioneer to the expectant
monarchs outside and inside of Gaeta, Will the
hammer rise again before the irrevocable word is
uttered, or will its fall decide what has been so
long, and so wrongfully to England, as -well as to
Italy, kept in suspense by their professed friend ?
We say wrongfully to England. He has, in the
most express terms, assented with apparent cor-
diality to the English principle of non-intervention
in Italy. He knows that the English Government
and people are thoroughly at one in that view ; he
knows, too, that this is moderation on our part,
beeause so intense is the feeling of the English
nation in regard to Italian liberties, that
the slightest indulgence of our wishes
would send to the aid of Italy such a
fleet as would dismiss Admiral BARRIER DE
TINAN to 'I oulon. Yet Louis NAPOLEON persists,
in spite of his own declaration to us, and in spite of
our most earnest wishes, we hope it may be said in
spite also of pressing remonstrances from our
Foreign-office—he persists in the most barefaced
and provoking intervention. We are much obliged
to him for a treaty ten times more profitable to him
than us. We thank him also for the privilege of
travelling about France un-ticketed, spending our
shopkeepers, and augmenting
money among his
French railway dividends. We accept these good
tempered doings, and hope good will come of
them. We wish his MAJESTY, however, to under.
stand that, nation of shopkeepers—as we
are—we have as much pride as our
neighbours have vanity. And if it really
flatters French vanity to prevent the Italian
fleet from consummating Italian liberty, it wounds
English pride, that France should agree with us to
pursise a just policy in Italy, should know that our
hearts are set upon it, and should then, without the
shadow of a pretext, break her own word to do
the very thing which makes every Englishman
indignant. "Lord PALMERSTON knows me and
will believe me," said Louis NAPOLEON not long
ago to Count PERSIONT. Believe what—if sub-
sequent actions are to tell us, Lord PALMERSTON
must look at Gaeta, and believe that the most
solemn professions of the EMPEROR are not worth
the paper they are written on, if England can but
be insulted, and Italian union delayed. Were the
case reversed, and had we done anything similar,
shouts of "Perfidious Albion" would have
resounded from Cherbourg to Toulon.
The wrong to Italy is yet more obvious. How
the Italians bear it with such patience is the
marvel. It is partly, no doubt, with the honourable
recollection that, after all, he gave them the start
for freedom in 1859 ; but still more, we apprehend,
becalm bear it they must. France had recently

A FORBEARING PROSECUTOR..—CHARGE Or ASSAULT,
ROBBERY, AND DAMAGE.—John Gleeson and John
Kay, two shoemakers, were charged before Mr. Beadon
with stealing a quartern of rum, assaulting Mr. Pech,
licensed victualler, of 356, Oxford•street, and also with
breaking a plate of engraved glass, value 50s.
Mr. Pech said two men came in the previous night and
asked for a quartern of rum and hot water, but finding they
had no money to pay it, he told them to leave the house,
putting the glass inside the counter. As soon as his back
was turned, Kay took up the glass and drank the contents.
He then tried to put them out, and in the struggle Gleeson
came behind him and seized him, and broke the pane of
glass of the value of 50s.

Mr. Beadon told the prisoners that after assaulting the
landlord they had broken a plate of glass.
Prosecutor said he did not wish to press the charge.
Mr. Beadon asked why he brought the charge there then.
Prosecutor said if they had the means of paying ho would
let them pay, but if they had not he should be sorry to lock
them up for any time. He did not -wish to press the
charge.

Mr. Beadon asked the prosecutor why he had given the
police the trouble if he did not mean to press the charge.
Prosecutor asked if he might put a sovereign into the
poor-box.
Mr. Beadon said he could do so if he pleased, but the
absurdity was the bringing the men there if he did not mean
to press it. He would be served tie same way again. He
should, as prosecutor wished it, discharge the men.

will certainly be as inefficient against the ramparts
of Verona and Mantua as it proved against the less
formidable battlements of Capua. or Gaeta. But the
Quadrilateral is not the only vulnerable side of
Austria, and there is no longer any doubt that the

foreign market as to render it impossible for the
exporter who shall have paid a remunerative price
to the grower to compete with the less heavily
taxed cropkof even P'l inferior soil. In other words,

the charges levied by the State on its exports may
be so heavy as to render agriculture unremunera-
tive, and thus to prevent the cultivation of the
land. This is largely the case with Turkey. In
one way or another her exports are enormously
overtaxed, and, consequently, much of her soil lies
uncultivated. Turkish Ministers allege, and with
some degree of truth, that the evil is to be attri-
buted to the fact of their Government being bound
by treaties to impose no more than a 5 per cent.
duty on any imports from foreign countries. Re•

venue must be had for the State. To reduce the
ruinous export duties is to diminish, for the moment
at least, the receipts of the Treasury—a course

distress which now exists throughout the country.
In the order issued on the subject the Major-Gen.
announces that, " should any officer, non-commis-

the district be disposed to contribute anything,
however trifling, to the relief of the great distress

THE ARMY•

Major-Gen. -Eyre, commanding the forces in
the Chatham district, has issued a memorandum to
the troops under his command, inviting them to
contribute towards relieving them great amount of
distress which now exists throughout the country.
In the order issued on the subject the Major-Gen.
announces that, "should any officer, non-commis-
sioned officer, or soldier (or any of their families) in
the district be disposed to contribute anything,
however trifling, to the relief of the great distress
now prevailing among the poor, almost everywhere,
but especially in certain places, every facility will
be afforded them for having their charitable inten-
tions carried out, and a committee shall be appointed
to have the money appropriated according to the
wishes of the contributors. The donation of even

WINE.

The floods in the Seine and Marne have nearly
put a stop to all business in the wine market of
Bercy since the commencement of the year. All
retail dealings are now conducted at the bonded
stores. The demaDd for wine is so limited that there
is very little encovragement for holders of stock to
raise their prices:. Their pretensions, nevertheless,
are sufficiently exorbitant, inasmuch as wine, in-
ferior to that of the vintage of 1859, which was
not very good, has been sold at a dearer rate
than that paid this time last year. Accounts from
Bordeaux state that there has been very little busi-
ness transacted that market in wines for several
weeks past. The wine growers, who have still old
wines on hand, express disappointment at the falling
off in the demand, but they will not reduce their
prices. They ask 900 f the ton for wine of the Bas-
Medoc vintage, 1859. 'There is no demand for
Bordeaux wines of the last vintage, the quality is
so inferior. Some wine has been sold in the Bour-
geais at from 310 f to 320 f the cask of 912 litres.
A letter from Cette says that some purchases of
wine have been made in the commune of Poussan
at 151 f the cask of 700 litres, commission and car-
riage in addition. Some wine was likewise sold at
Roujean and in the neighbourhood of Campagne,
at 125 f the cask of 700 litres with the cask. 24
half hogsheads, of 150 litres each, of Roussillon
were sold at 50f the hectolitre. Fiton and Lapalme
are selling at Cette at 40f the hectolitre, Roussillon
at 50f and 60f, Rivesaltes 60f the hectolitre. The
firmness in the price of spirits of wine in both the
north and south of France has given rise to many
commentaries. " Take care," says the alarmists,
" there is a vast quantity of wine in the south
which is only fit for distillers' use, and when it is
all converted into spirits there must be a consider-
able fall in prices." " Fear nothing," say the
others, " the beetroot spirit produced in the north
will be considerably less this year than in ordinary
seasons—that of the south will be inevitably feeble.
There is no stock on hand anywhere, and prices
must be maintained even by the demand for home
consumption." The truth is probably between the
two extremes. It is possible that there will not be
any very great rise or fall of the present prices.
Accounts from Lille state that the price of spirits,
after having oscillated between 95f and 96f the
hectolitre, rose and remained at 97f, with very little
of the article in the market. 35 casks of spirits of
wine were sold at Beziers at 114 f 50c the hecto-
litre. Fine beetroot spirit, first quality, 90 deg.,
was quoted in Paris on Saturday at 1051 the hecto-
litre, Montpellier 130 f.
