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.

Commander Robert Barclay, who died on the 20th
inst. at Rock Ferry, Cheshire, was born at Tain, in
Ross-shire, on the 13th of September, 1793. He
entered the navy as a first-class volunteer on board
the Narcissus, in which ship he assisted at the
capture, on the 18th of August, 1807, of the
Spanish schooner Cantela, and also at the reduction
of the Sanites, in 1809. Afterwards removed to
the Rhin,
of 38 guns, he contributed to the cap-
ture of four privateers, carrying in the whole
58 guns and 310 men. He was actively em-
ployed in co-operation with the patriots on the north.
coast of Spain, and while serving in the boats was
twice wounded.

The following appointments were made yester-

THE ELECTION OF LORI) MAYOR.

Some of our contemporaries have exclaimed s ery loudly
against the departure from precedent that would be in-
volved in the re-election of the present Mayor for the
ensuing year: As precedents are invoked the public may
be glad to know how they stand. The following list of
the Lord Mayors who have been elected more than once to
the chief magistracy of the City of London shows that since
the first institution of the office it has frequently been held
for consecutive years by the same individual, whilst even
within the last fifty years it has been held by two gentle-
men for two years—viz., Sir Matthew Wood, Bart., in
1815-16, and Sir John Key, Bart., in 1830-31, the latter
having been alderman of the same ward as the presen
Lord Mayor:—
First Lord Mayor, Henry

in which, however, it is now to be hoped that by
the impulse given by these two meritorious gentle-
men the forms of future Warriors will exhibit a
higher appreciation than hitherto of the value of
shot- deflP ction.
May I trespass these few lines further in order to
support the favourable view expressed by your cor-
respondent of the merits of the 1Z inch iron strips
by which Mr. Jones so effectually supported the
joint edges of his plates ? Throughout the trials on
the Trusty every shot striking within 6 inches of
an edge seriously fractured the plate in the direction
of that edge; and, in like manner, the 6th and 10th
shots on the 18th inst., which fell within a few
inches of the unsupported edges of a 41 inch plate,
broke away pieces 18 inches in diameter and 24
inches by 17 in the two cases respectively; whereas
no less than six shots struck on the supported edges
of both thick and thin plates on the two days, in no
case producing more injury than when striking a
centre. Even when three shot fell on the same spot
of the same edge on the 21st ult., removing a portion
of the plate itself, the strip beneath it was only bent
and cracked.
On the other hand, Mr. Jones has confirmed that
entire failure of armour-plate fastening by screws
which had been so signally exhibited before in a re-
cent Shoebury experiment. The 10th shot on the
21st ult. struck a screw head fair without injury,
but the same shot broke two other distant screws
of the same plate, and one of those in the next
plate to it, thus showing the inability of these fast-
enings to withstand a transverse strain or jar. As
in the Shoebury experiments, the two plates de-
tached on the 18th inst. fell because all their screws
broke about the first thread, the diameter being 11
inch. That the side of the ship proper represented
by Mr. Jones's target should be as perfect at this
moment as when flr,st made—except a slight pro-
jection of one of the backing bolts—after sustaining
67 shots from the heaviest known rifled and smooth
bored ordnance, stands as a great fact in the great
strife of armour versus guns, notwithstanding the
replacing of the plates this year, and suggests that
flatheaded shot only will be at all effective against
well studied forms for deflection. Even if the boasted
300-pounder should ever become a practical reality
will it be more successful in penetrating a side of
angled or curvilinear form than the 100-pounder
was against the vertical plates on the 18th inst.,
when two Tin. diameters were separated by only lin.,
with only the above slight effect on a backing bolt ?
Apologising for the length of this communication
by the hope that its contents may be publicly use-
ful, I beg to remain your obedient servant,

rTHE VIGOUR OF YOUTH RESTORED IN
FOUR WEEKS by Dr. RICORD'S ESSENCE OF
LIFE.

This wonderful apnt will restore manhood to the most
shattered constitution, whether arising from self-pollution,
excesses, nocturnal emissions, the effects of climate, or natu-
ral causes The time required to cure the most inveterate
case is four weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple), failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy should be taken by all about to
marry, as its effects are permanent. It is acknowledged by
the medical press to be the greatest discovery ever made.
Success in every case is as certain as that water quenches
thirst.

Dr. Rilord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-
structions for use, at 11 s., or four quantities in one for 335.,
and may be sent to any part of the world, carefully packed,
on receipt of remittance stamps.

TBAMES NATIONAL REGATTA.

The arrangements for this annual two days' boat racing
meeting are now complete, under the direction of the
Thames Subscription Club and its hon. secretary, Mr.
Henry, C. Smith, and the sport oommenceed this day
(Thursday) at one o'clock at Putney ; the course for scul-
lers and pair oars being from the aqueduct bridge to Ham-
mersmith, and for fours to Chiswick Eyot upon the flood
tide, and reversed upon the ebb. There are four entries for
the Champion four-oared race, for £l3O, open to the world;
nine for the Tradesman's fours ; and for the Thames resi-
dent waterside fours, seven for the pair-oared race, and a
variety of sculler's contests. The greatest feature of the
regatta has ever been the four-oared Champion Race, and
it still remains so. On this occasion the rival crews, who
will row today—two boats at a time—are the Confidence
crew, Richmond, consisting of T. Mackinney, C. Brown,
M. J. Stt, M.
W. J. Bell, J. Mackinney, an
T. d E. Maekinney, coxs
cowain ;
the Newcastle crew, J. Taylor, Matfln,
Taylor, and T. Harrison, coxswain; Newcastle and London
crews, G. Hommerton, J. Tagg, E. Winship, R. Cham-
bers, and R. Clasper, coxswain ; and the Lambeth crew, E.
Carter, A. Hopkins, J. Chapman, R. Bain, and J, Hill,
coxswain. Of these the London and Newcastle are the
favourites, and the Newcastle are next on the list for choice.
The whole of the heats for the Thames Waterside residents
will be decided to-day, and there are some five crews in the
race. In the pair-oared races, open to the world, the com-
petitors are :—the Snells, of Hampton ; Bell and J. Mac-
kinney, of Richmond ; Mat Grey and Scott, of Newcastle ;
the Taylors, of Newcastle ; Tagg and Hommerton, of
Kingston ; Winship and Chambers, of Newcastle ; and
Brown and T. Mackinney, of Richmond. Winship and
Chambers are the favourites ; Tagg and Hommerton next.
In the Waterman's Sculler's Race, Hommerton and Kelly
are taken for choice against Drewitt, Pocock, Chandler, the
Mackinneys, and B eckett.

REMARKABLE DISCOVERY AT ALDERSHOT.—On
Monday morning some workmen who were removing earth
near the Royal Horse Artillery barracks, South Camp,
Aldershot, discovered the skull of a person who had evi-
dently met with a violent death many years ago. The skull,
which appeared to be that of a full-grown man, was pierced
at the top with a gunshot wound, and there was a slug
wound in one of the eyes, with the slug remaining in it. A
part of the jaw bone seemed to have rotted away, and a sur-
geon gave it as his opinion that the skull had been in the
ground 12 or 14 years at least. The present site of the camp
was a wild heath a few years ago, and the neighbourhood
is associated with many tales of the exploits of highway-
men. No other remnants of a human being, except the
skull, were found by the workmen, and that has been placed
in the hands of the police, who are instituting inquiries ro-
apeetitag it,

After long experience, deep researches into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans, and °Make may be entirely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian eorn,
linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 3lbs.,
at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is afeed

been observed several times to put her hand to her bosom,
where it was subsequently made evident she had concealed
a small penknife. On being informed that she was coin-

garded as falling within the metropolitan boundary.
It is also a curious fact that the rivalry between the
South Middlesex and the Civil Service corps was not
confined to the instances already mentioned ; but
the names of Mr. Milner of the former, and Mr.
Plaskett of the latter occur close together lower
down in the list, each having scored 11. The ex-
cellent shooting of the South Middlesex Rifles is
doubtless attributable, to some extent, to the fact
that they possess two capital ranges—one at Cater-
ham, capable, if necessary, of being increased to
2,000 yards, and one at Beaufort-house of 300 yards.
The 40 Whitworth rifles which were yesterday used
by the competitors had all been selected by General
Hay himself, and were distributed to the men by
lot; but General Hay declared be should not know
which of them to select, except, perhaps, one with
the handsomest stock.

Neither the Duke of Cambridge nor the Duke of
Wellington's prizes were decided, but a double
series of extra prizes given by the society was com-
peted for with the following result :
For the first series of seven shots at SOO yards,
the following was the order of merit :—Mr. Leece
(Manchester), Major Moir (Stirling), Mr. Edward
Ross (Cambridge University), Mr. MacFarlane
(Australian Free Rifles), and Mr. Thornbury (Vic-
toria Rifles).
The second series of extra prizes offered for the
best five shots at 600 yards was awarded in the
following order:-Sergeant Jeaton (Civil Service),
Mr. H. T. Dickens (Victoria Rifles), Mr. Compton
(2d South Middlesex), Capt. Wigram (Coldatreams),
Mr. Porter (Queen's Westminster).-
In consequence of the anxiety which is expressed
by the Volunteers for additional opportunities of
increasing their skill under the auspices of the asso-
ciation, the council have determined to set apart
Friday next, and the earlier part of Saturday, for
shooting at the butts. It is expected that some very
interesting matches between picked shots, which
are in course of arrangement, will increase the in-
terest which this announcement is certain to create.

We are authorised to state that his Royal High-
ness the Duke of Cambridge did not select Wim-
bledon as the place for reviewing the Volunteers
on Saturday next ; but that the ground was fixed
upon by the National Rifle Association. His Royal
Highness was simply requested to inspect those of
the metropolitan and other corps who chose to
assemble there—not in grand review, but as a
simple drill. His Royal Highness has nothing to do
with the arrangements, further than giving every
facility in his power, in order that the wishes of
those interested may be carried into effect.

FRANCE AND PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, dated the Bth inst., says :
" The French Commisioner, M. de Clercq, will
return in a few days to Paris to ask for new in-
structions, rendered necessary by the attitude
assumed by Bavaria in the question of the treaty of
commerce. Bavaria, namely, maintains that Prussia
is not authorised to conclude treaties in the name
of the Zollverein, and insists that a general Con-
ference of the States of the Zollverein should first
be held to grant the necessary permission to Prussia.
What Prussia will say to this has not transpired,
but Prussia is quite at liberty to conclude a treaty
with France on her own account, allowing only
those Governments of the Zollverein to participate
in it who adhere to it unconditionally. It is not
improbable that this question may eventually lead
to a reform of the Zollverein as it now exists."

" The King of Prussia has left Berlin for Baden-
Baden, from which latter place he proceeds to
Ostend."

TEE BUILDERS' STRIKE.

The Association of Master Builders not having
sent any definite reply to the offer of arbitration
made to them by the Institute of British Architects,
the masons' society last week instructed their com-
mittee to write direct to the association, offering=
the part of the society to submit the whole subject
in dispute to the Council of that Institution for arbi-
tration, and to be bound by their decision,. and
requesting a positive reply from the association
whether they will adopt the same course and thus
close the dispute. Yesterday a reply was received
from Mr. Wales, the secretary of the associated
masters, acknowledging the communication
from the masons, and promising to lay the subject
before the association at its next meeting. The
men have been more favourably placed this week in
point of funds than they had previouslybeen, as it

esterday, Messrs. of

employing about 50 masons, accepted the g-roa ,
terms of
the compromise, and the men have resumed work.
Several more of the men left London
yesterday. The
bricklayers on Tuesday and yesterday, withdrew
every man from the works of Messrs. Brass and
Wilson, whose firms introduced the hour system
on Monday. Some large jobs, including the Jews'
Hospital at Norwood, the new schools in Abbey-
street, and works
at the Tower, are thus brought
to a total standstill,
either wholly
or partially suspended.
The various
trade societies in the metropolis are
bet,' •
binning to take the question up, and if the dis-
pute is not closed by the end of the present week,
several large sums of money will be voted to the
builders on strike.
Several of the masons brought from Scotland
last week by the agent of the associated masters
went backyesterday morning, their expenses having
been defrayed by the society.

INSPECTORS OF ScnooLs.—A return respecting
inspectors of schools has been prepared, entered by the
House of Commons on the motion of Mr. "T. Duncombe.
There are now 36 inspectors and 24 assistant-inspectors, 60
in all, and last year there was an additional assistant-in-
spector; the total payments made to them in that year
amounted to £43,565. In 1840 there were three, and the
charge was £1,234 ; in 1845 there wi ire eight, and the
charge £5,979 ;in 1850 23, and the char/ £18,678 ;in 1855
42, and the charge £30,526. Mr. Dune ombe's motion re-
quired also a list of those who are, clergymen ; that list
comprises 17 of the inspectors and, 19 of the asAistant-In•

DR. SMET.HURST AND THE WILL OF

ISABELLA BANKS.

COURT OF PROBATE.—(Tars DAY.)
(Before Sir C. Cresswell.)
This was a suit instituted by Thomas Smethurst, who
was convicted of felony on the 30th of November, 1859,
for the purpose of proving the will of the late Miss Isabella
Banks, of 10, Alma-villas, Richmond. It will be remem-
bered that by this will Miss Banks bequeathed the whole
of her property to the plaintiff, with the exception of
a brooch to Miss Jenkins, a female friend, and
that she appointed Dr. Smethurst her sole executor. The
defendants, arc the two sisters of the testatrix, and
Mr. Tomlins, to whom one of them is married, and they
opposed probate on two grounds ; the first, that the plain-
tiff, having been convicted of felony, had forfeited all claim
to any right as residuary legatee ; and the next, that
Miss Jenkins having released the estate of the bequest,
he had no claim to act as executor. The case was argued
at considerable length; and, from the novelty and import-
ance of the question involved, the learned judge deferred
giving his decision until he had considered the legal autho-
rities on the question.
Sir C. Cresswell now delivered judgment. Having gone
through the facts of the case, he said the authorities on the
question were very few. lie had considered them most
carefully, and he came to the conclusion that the plaintiff
was not deprived of his rights as legatee, and that being
the case he thought he was fully entitled to perfect his
right by proving the will.
The demurrer was accordingly dismissed, so that the
plaintiff will be enabled to proceed with his suit to estab-
lish the will.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN A POLICE COURT.
—Mary Smith, a woman about 40 years of age, and Cathe-
rine Kelly, 23 years of age, both being respectably dressed,
were charged at the Bristol Police Court, on Monday, with
picking a lady's pocket. Both the prisoners pleaded for
mercy in a most impassioned manner—shedding tears
imploringly on their knees. The
Bench, however committed, them for trial. The Bristol
Daily Post says :
copiously and falling
:—" Smith, during the examination, had
been observed several times to put her hand to her bosom,
where it was subsequently made evident she had concealed
a small penknife. On being informed that she was corn.
mitted for trial, she exclaimed, '.Oh, my God ; I can't live
and pulling open her shawl, she threw her head back
towards the reporters' box, when reveal persons exclaimed
She has a knife !' and one of the representatives of the
press seized her right hand, in which she held the open
knife, just as the point of the blade was within half an inch
of her throat, and with some difficulty wrenched the knife
from her. She screamed, and resisted the officers to a con-
siderable extent, but was overpowered and carried out of
court."
