rIIHE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA; showing why they so often appear In-
curable, 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, hnd 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.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Ama. 13.
The King's illness has not yet reached its inevit-
able termination. The bulletin of this morning
notices an increase of consciousness, but acknow-
ledges the general diminution of strength. I learn
from a private source that he is reduced to the
greatest weakness, and it is now a question of hours
rather than days. All the Princes and Ministers
have been recalled, and no attempt is made to con-
ceal from the public the near approach of the end.
Yesterday evening the Royal theatres were closed;
of course, all political business is at a stand-still.

The _Patric relates the following anecdote :
' A worthy cure of the environs of Paris entered the army
in his youth, and was a Zouave in Africa in 1°42, where he
distinguished himself by his bravery. On leaving the ser-
vice, he entered holy orders, and during the Crimean war
he obtained permission to join his old regiment as chaplain.
The Zonave-cure, as he was called in the army, visited the
Camp of St. Maur on Saturday, and was soon recognised by
his old companions in arms, who received him with every
demonstration of joy. Come and see our colour,' said an
old sergeant, ' your blessing will bring it success.' The
priest was accordingly conducted to the colour, of which
only a few glorious tatters remain. He knelt down, and
after a short prayer rose and kissed the standard, his eyes
overflowing with tears as he did so. The Zouaves stood
round much affected by the sight. ' I see among you many
Whom I remember in the Crimea, but none of my old com-
rades in Africa.' They died on the field of honour in
Italy. The last fell at Solferino,' was the reply. Let us
they
pray
all for t
nelthem, my lads,' said the cure ; and accordingly
the repose of their k round the colour and breathed a prayer for
glorious companeions."

FORCE; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-

Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-

Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former'can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a

TWENTY YEARS IN THE CHURCH.
AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

By the Rev. J. PYCROFT, 8.A.,
1 vol. post Bvo, 10s. 6d.

" Surely we have deep and lasting reason to congratulate
ourselves on the great step thus made in the cause of religious
education by the later writers of instructive fiction, for it is a
feature in the literature of the country of which we may
justly be proud. 'Twenty Years in the Church' is emi-
nently a case in point. Nothing can be more manly, more
genial, more feeling, or more Christian-like than the senti-
ments and principles which it evolves and upholds. They
are such as make a people a nation, and retain them in their
nationality. They are such as make all men neighbours, as
Christ himself described a neighbour in the parable of the
good Samaritan, and they contain in them the true germs of
national greatness. We entreat our readers to lay them to
heart. We hope that rich and poor alike will read this book
and appreciate both the spirit and the object which have
prompted its publication."—St. James's Chronicle, Aug. 13.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, AUG. 13.
The King's illness has not yet reached its inevit-
able termination. The bulletin of this morning
notices an increase of consciousness, but acknow-
ledges the general diminution of strength. I learn
from a private source that he is reduced to the
greatest weakness, and it is.now a question of hours
rather than days. All the Princes and Ministers
have been recalled, and no attempt is made to con-
ceal from the public the near approach of the end.
Yesterday evening the Royal theatres were closed;
of course, all political business is at a stand-still.

opened their yards yesterday :—Mr. Sergant, of
Camden-town, employing upwards of 80 men ; Mr
Morris, Park-street, Grosvenor-square, employing
about 40 ; Mr. Jackson, Rathbone-place, about 40 ;

any terms.

EAST INDIA FINANCES.

The following copy of a financial despatch, dated
31st Jan., 1859, was published yesterday:—
" Financial, No. 9.
" East India-house, London, Jan. 31, 1859.
" My Lord—Adverting to paragraph 36 of my despatch
in this department, dated 19th Jan., 1859, No. 6, I now
forward an estimate of the receipts and disbursements of
the Home Treasury for the year 1858-60, commencing with
the Ist May next. The probable amount of payments on
account of the Indian railways is not included, it being
assumed that, these will be balanced by the receipts from
the various railway companies. It is my intention to ask
the sanction of Parliament to a loan to meet the deficiency
shown in the estimate above-referred to ; but, regarding it
as most unsatisfactory to continue a system of loans for the
general wants of the Government, I must again press upon
your immediate consideration my desire, and the desire of
the Council, that the question of the measures to be adopted
for equalising your revenue and expenditure may receive
that attention from you which its importance so impera-
tively demands, and that the result of your deliberations
may be reported to me without.delay.—l have, &e.,
" STANLEY.

" The Right Hon. the Governor-General
of India in Council."
This letter was accompanied by an estimate of the
receipts and disbursements of the Home Treasury
for the year to end April 30, 1860. The receipts
are estimated at £7,151,680, and the disbursements
at £6,151,680, leaving X 1,000,000 as "the amount to
be held in cash." The debtor side of the account
has an item of £5,377,819 as " the estimated ba-
lance deficient on April 30, 1860." The disburse-
ments on the other side include £1,230,240 for
dividends on India stock, bonds, and debentures ;
£43,2o9forinterest on temporary loans ; £1.268,960
for military stores, purchase of steamers, and trans-
port of troops and stores; £1,196,711 for pay-office
demands on account of troops and stores, mission to
Persia, and establishment in China; £1,439,480 for
civil service annuities and military and marine
retired pay ; £263,400 for bills of exchange from
India and family remittances; and X 704,680 for
charges general.

THE EAST.

"The Ottoman Porte," says the 7.fonitcur de la
Flotte, " has lately given its ratification to the
Danube Navigation Act, drawn up by the commis-
sion of riverain powers, instituted by the Congress
of Paris. The Cabinet of Vienna only waited for

that formality to communicate to the powers, par-
ties to the Treaty of Paris, the resolutions of this
commission, which are to be submitted to the Con-
gress for ratification."

A letter from Constantinople of the sth, in the
Vienna Gazette, says It was stated some time
ago that the imans and muezzins were making
alarming predictions to the people in the
streets. This prophet' sing was dropped for a
time, but has lately been renewed by more
important personages and especially by the
higher clergy. Some chiefs of the medresse
and some priests of the mosque of Mahomet predict
the coming of new times ; one of them has even
announced that Ali will shortly reappear 'to restore
Islamism. Such is the effect which these predic-
tions have created even among the higher classes,
that the. Turkish Government has caused some of
these prophets to be arrested. But that has been
like casting oil on fire. The residence of the
Seheik-ul-Islam is now the head-quarters of the
prophets. Meetings of thp party Qf the ' old Turks'

DUBLIN AND WICKLOW.

The report of the directors states that after
deducting interest on loans, rents, rates, and taxes,
&c., there remained a balance of £7,868, out of
which the directors propose that a dividend of 6per
cent. per annum should be declared on the calls
paid on the preference shares, amounting to 12,115
(in addition to the interest, £2,878, on payments
in advance of calls, making together about £5,000),
leaving the balance to be carried forward. The
works and permanent way have been maintained
in excellent order, and the engines and rolling
stock hare been kept in good repair.

DUBLIN AND BELFAST JUNCTION.

The report of the directors of this company
states that the traffic receipts for the half-year
ending the 31st of December amounted to £34,026,
being £822 in excess of those for the half-year
ended the 31st of December, 1857. The total in-
come of the company for the half-year amounted to
£37,265, and the total expenditure, including
rates, taxes, and interest, to £18,248, leaving a
balance of £19,017; out of which the directors
recommended that a dividend at the rate of 4 per
cent. per annum (free of income tax) on the paid up
capital of the company be declared; and that the
amount (about £1,105) be added to £6,382, the
revenue balance from the preceding half-year.

£19,667, being X 1,680 more than for the same half of

ing law costs and renewal of engines, to £12,851.
After making provision for interest on loans and

A dividend at the rate of £1 per cent. per annum
would absorb £2,509, and leave £573 for the next
account.

BIRTHS AND DEATHS IN LONDON.

• An interesting report on the births and deaths,
and causes of death in London, during the year 1858
has been issued from the General Register-office.
The following are some extracts from the document:
" London has grown like a mighty tree, by exten-
sion rather than by the internal aggregation of con-
stituent parts ; and while foreign cities, girded round
by walls, have grown denser and risen vertically,
London has extended its boundaries freely all around,
and covers now 78,029 acres— 31,576 hectares ---L--I°l
square miles7.--= a square of 11 miles to the side. The
population in this area amounted in 1801 to 958,863,
and in the veer 1851 to 2,362,236. The London of
1858 is equal to three Londons of 1801.
" The extent of the population of London gives
weight to the returns extending over short inter-
vals of time, and enables the scientific inquirer to
investigate the effects of atmospheric and other
conditions on the mortality.
"The registered births in London amounted to
88,620, . the deaths amounted to 63,882, in the 52
weeks of 1858 ; and the increase of people in this
way was 24,738. By the calculation, the increase
from all causes was 52,690, or nearly 1,000 a week
in the interval from the middle of the year 1857 to
the middle of the year 1858. . The registration of
births, not being compulsory,. is not complete in
London ; and a portion of the increase of 52,690 is
thus accounted fbr. But, in round numbers, itmay
be stated that London increases at the rate of about
1,000 people weekly, of whom about 500 are immi-
grants in excess of the native emigrants who bid
adieu to the banks of the Thames.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.

At the request of Mr. WALroLE,
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE postponed till Monday next the
following question, of which he had given notice—Whether
anything decisive had been determined on with regard to
the vacant site of the late Smithfield Market, if so, when it
was likely a decision on the subject would be arrived at by
her Majesty's Government ?
THE INDIAN LOAN.

Mr. ROBERTSON asked the Secretary of State for
India whether, in the event of a loan being authorised to be
raised in this country, any authority that might have been
given to Lord Canning to raise money by loan or deben-
tures, at six per cent. per annum, would be at once can-
celled ; and whether the Five per Cent Loan, now opened
in Calcutta, would be closed ?
Lord STANLEY said that he would postpone his reply
to the question until the house went into committee on the
Indian Loan, when he would make a statement on the
subject.
