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 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.

111 IE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercieed, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

CENTRAL CRIMINAL‘COORT—(ThisD4.)

James Hogg and Caroline Hogg were indicted for steal•
ing twelve handkerchiefs, value £2, and divers othergoods
to the value of £2OO, the property of John Brocklebank.
The male prisoner pleaded guilty. _ _

Mr. Sleigh said the prosecutor did not wish to press the
charge against the female. The prisoner had been in the
employ of the prosecutor, curing which time property was
lost to the amount of £5OO.

The Recorder asked if the property h td been given up.
The officer said it was in Court, ready to be restored.
The prisoner, on being asked why sentence should not
be passed upon him, said he had been led• in by a friend
to accept some bills, and he took the property to meet them
when they became due.

The Recorder said it was a very serious offence, as it
appeared the prisoner had been ever since he had been in
the prosecutor's employ systematically robbing him. He
should, therefore, sentence him to three years' penal servi-
tude.

AN OFFICER KILLED BY A TIGER.

kacheidaebinuntr
informed 6i
We regret to have to record the occurrence of a
most melancholy accident that has occurred near
Neemuch, in the death of Lieutenant Charles Newel
Grant, of the 2d European Light Infantry. An
officer, writing to us from Neemuch, under date the
26th March, says :—" A party cf officers, viz, CaE

again about
four or five in the - evening,. when some shots were
fired and he was again hit. He then turned to the
right, where Poor Grant was in advance of all, and
on seeing himfired at him ; the brute then seized
him, the beaters bolted, and the tiger commenced
to bite and claw poor Grant fearfully, carrying
him off to some distance. The other officers were
only aware of the occurrence by hearing Grant
cry out t) Baumgartner to come and kill the brute.
The latter, in the most plucky and brave manner,
ran to the spot, and found the tiger on the top of
Grant crunching his arm. Baumgartner had only
one barrel loaded (his shikaree had also bolted with
his rifle) ; but like a fine fellow as. he is, he went
muzzle close up, and placing the
just behind the
animal's shoulder, fired, and seeing that even then
the tiger would not relax his hold, drew his re-
volver, and fired the five barrels into its head.
Hemsted then came up and fired two shots into the
savage beast's head, when it died ; but before poor
Grant could be extricated the brute's jaws had
actually to be forced open. Poor Grant was then
removed in a dooly into Neemuch, but unavoidably
some twenty odd hours elapsed before his vsounds
could be dressed, owing to the distance he had to
be carried. On reaching Neemuch Doctwes Arnott
and Wright were immediately in attendance, and
did all that human skill could, but the poor fellow
breathed his last on Tuesday afternoon, the 25th
instant. The tiger was of the largest size, mea-
suring twelve feet in length."—.Poona Observer.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—May 6.

BOW-STREET.—Mary Lane, the wife of aman
employed in the docks, was charged with assault-
ing laer daughter, a girl of about 12, on Saturday
night.
Police-constable F 96, deposed that he was on
duty on Saturday night, at half past 9, when he was
called into Charles-street, Drury-lane, by the pri-
soner's husband, who took him to the house No. 38,
and gave her into custody, for throwing a chair at a
little girl, who was then bleeding from the head.
The prisoner was drunk, but the husband was quite
sober. There was a bed in the room, and prisoner
threw herself on the bed and kicked witness in the
stomach. She had excused herself by saying that
she threw the chair at her husband, and it missed
him and struck the child by accident ; but in the
presence of witness she gave the little girl a heavy
blow in the face with her hand, and behaved in a
very violent manner while he was taking her to the
police-station.
The little girl, who gave her evidence very reluc-
tantly, said it was bm accident, and her mother did
not hurt her much. She was obliged to admit, how-
ever, that the prisoner had been on a former occa
sion confined to prison for three munths for having
threatened her (the child's) life. The husband was
her step father.
The prisoner said she had been exposed to con-
tinued ill-treatment from her husband.
Mr. Henry—Y Ai are always getting drunk.
Prisoner—Can a woman get drunk on nothing P
He never gives me any money to spend, but sends
the child out to buy things and leavcs me penni-
less. lam black and blue (showing a very dirty
arm) from his blows. As for the girl, I never
meant to hit her.
Mr. Henry said it would be better to remand the
case for a few days. The confinement away from
drink would do her good.
WESTMINSTER.—David Locke, mason, was
charged with having violently assaulted Jas. Wilco.
lan, whose face was much disfigured.
Complainant said that he was in the Marquis of
pint of beer, when a man of whom he

knew nothing invited him to drink, and on saying
that he had some of his own, the man declared that
his reason for refusing to drink with him was be-
cause he had signed the document. Many words
occurred between them, and the man abused com-
plainant so much that he took off his coat and
challenged him to fight, but acting on the advice of
a friend, he put it on again and went away, but
had not proceeded far when the defendant followed
him, knocked him down with a violent blow in the
eye, and then again and again struck him as he
was rising, and knocked him under a horse's feet.
A boy clearly confirmed every word of this state-
ment with reference to what occurred outside the
house.
Defendant said that complainant challenged any
one to fight, and he went out and they struck one
another.
After some further evidence had been called for
the defendant,
Mr. Arnold took
.occasion to observe that the
evidence given did not at all relieyedefendantfrom

CORN EXCIIANGE.

Although the arrivals of English grain to this morning's
market were very limited, the trade ruled heavy for all
descriptions, but without leading to any further change in
the quotations beyond the reduction of is per quarter
repot t2d on Monday.
There was a full average show of foreign wheat, and the
demand for all kinds was much restricted, at the late decline
in prices.
Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, at in
some instances rather easier currencies.
For barley there was very little inquiry, at barely pre-
vious quotations.
Malt changed hands to a limited extent, at late rates.
Oats were a dull sale, yet no further change took place
in their value.

Both beans and peas moved off slowly, at Monday's
prices.

The flour trade ruled dull, at fully the late decline in the
quotations.

PETITIO S.

Several petitions were presented in favour of suppressing
Sunday traffic in intoxicating drinks ; from the members of
the Waterford Chamber of Commerce expressing regret at
the course pursued by Government in withdrawing the
subsidy from the Galway Company for conveying mails to
America, stating that persons had been induced to take
shares in the company from a conviction that this subsidy
-would be continued, and praying for an inquiry into the
circumstances connected with the withdrawal of the sub-
sidy; for the adoption of means for the development of
the resources for growing cotton in India, so as to
render this country independent of the supply of
that article from America; against the abolition
of church rates ; for affording greater facilities for the edu- ,
cation of pauper Roman Catholic children; from the inha-
bitants of Coventry, praying that the duty on tea should
be remitted before the repeal of the duty on paper; from
the inhabitants of Dublin, expressing indignation at the
withdrawal of the Galway Contract, and praying for full
inquiry into the subject, &c., &c.

nN- 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,

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.

THE INDIAN NAVY.

Sir G. BOWYER asked the Secretary of State for India
if any decision had been arrived at with regard to the
future of the Indian navy ; and, if so, when it would be
made known ? Has the report of the civil finance
commission (recommending a wholesale reduction of
the Indian navy on economical grounds) been
received by Government; and if it was their intention to
adopt the report; if a rduction or abolition of the service
was contemplated, what course was it the intention of
Government to pursue with regard to the officers ?
Sir C. WOOD said that no decision had been arrived a
on this subject. It was quite correct that there had been
recommendations from the commission in question to the
effect that there should be a reduction in the Indian navy,
and the subject was under consideration of Government.

THE FRESCO ES OF THE HOUSES OF
PARLIAMENT.

Mr. C. BENTINCK asked the First Commissioner of
Works, whether he had been informed that the frescoes in
the Houses of Parliament are showing symptoms of decay ;
and, if so, whether he would institute proper inquiries to
ascertain the cause of such decay'.
Mr. COWPER. said that the frescoes in the corridors of
the House of Commons were in a perfect condition, but in-
some others of the frescoes there were appearances of dis-
coloration. There was no necessity for instituting an en-
quiry into the matter, for the discoloration could not have
been produced by the dampness of the walls, considering the
space intervening between them and the frescoes. The
cause of this discoloration was, that the artiste who exe-
cuted these frescoes were not, at the time, conversant with
the preparation of colours for these frescoes, but any inju-
ries that had taken place could easily be repaired.

CHURCH ESTATES WITHIN THE DIOCESE OF
WORCESTER.

Mr. G, HARDY asked the hon. member for Kilmarnock
why lessees of Church Estates within the diocese of Wor-
cester, who had made contracts for the enfranchisement of
their leaseholds prior to the late avoidance of that see, and
held the money ready for that purpose, were delayed in
the completion of those contracts for want of the
usual order in Council ; whether the delay in
issuing such order arises from any conflict of opinion upon
the meaning of the existing law; and, if so, whether any
legislature measure was contemplated to relieve, as soon
as possible, such lessees from the same.
Mr. BO U VERIE explained that legal difficulties had
arisen which prevented the Ecclesiastical Commission
dealing with this property as they had done with other
church estates.
PROPOSED NATIVE COUNCIL IN NEW ZEA-

Mr. ADDERLEY ask LAN
ed the Under Secretary of State
for the Colonies whether the bill passed by the Now Zea-
land Legislature for constituting a native council differing,
in its relation to the colonial government, from the bill of
last session, has received her Majesty's assent and confir-
mation ?

Mr. C. FORTESCUE said that the question hid
