N 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 I!etropolitan 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 amide 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 sufnrers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a viluab_
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.

THE INDIGO DISTRICTS.

The indigo districts continue in a very unsettled
state. At Kishnagur and Jessore the ryots hale
refused to pay rents. In one instance, the arreurs
amount already to upwards of £12,000. At Fur'
reedpore the ryots do not confine themselves to
not paying rent, as will be seen by the following
extract from a private letter :—" A factory ser'
vent, named Bhyrubdas, got a severe thrashing
on the 14th from the ryots of Belashur, who war
laid him at Sangoera, cutting his nose and one of
his ears, but not right off. They took away NI
clothes, and otherwise grossly assaulted him, and
he had to walk stark naked for some time, until
some ryot took compassion upon him, and gave
him a rag to wear. The joints of his arms and
legs have been pounded, and he dragged over clods,
the villains in their sport saying that they were
moising (harrowing) the lands for indigo."

GALWAY AS A PACKET-STATION.—As regards
the packet-station, Galway may be pronounced, to all in-
tents and purposes, the nearest and best port for the trans-
mission of passengers and mails from Great Britain to
America. It is situated nearly at the head of a long shel-
tered bay, at • the mouth of which, some nine-and-
twenty miles off, the huge cliffs of the Arran islands
may be seen in clear weather looming in the
distance ; indeed, so peculiar are the physical fea-
tures of Galway bay, that we should naturally expect
it to have a legend. According to tradition it was once
a freshwater lake which, by an irruption of the Atlantic,
was converted into sea-water, what are now the islands of
Arran having been the western frontier of the coast. It is
very singular, by the way, that legends and geological phe-
nomena so often tally, the one merely conveying in the
form of fiction (but often word for word) what really did
happen. But whatever might have been the previous con-
tion of the bay—there it is now, forming a splendid har-
bour, with good holding ground, and requiring no very
large outlay to make it one of the most secure on the whole
coast.—Once a Week.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there The
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 exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

THE IRON TRADE.—Birmingham, Sept. 26th.--
The ironmasters of East Worcestershire and South Staf-
fordshire held their meeting, preliminary to the ensuing
quarterly series, at the Royal Hotel, in this town, this
afternoon, Mr. Philip Williams in the chair. There was a
general concurrence of feeling that trade is more active
than it was three months ago, and a resolution was unani-
mously passed to adhere to the old scale of prices—bars,
17 ; hoops, £8 ; sheets and plates, £8 10s. per ton.
THREE AT A BIRTII.—On. Thursday week the
wife of James Watson, fisherman, Cromarty, gave birth to
three sons. We are glad to understand that the mother and
young fishermen are doing well. We learn that Mrs. Wet•
son was,
on two former occasions, delivered of twins—thus
making her the happy mother of aconsiderable family in
three instalments.—lnvergordon Times.
DUELLING IN AUSTRIA.—The following deplorable
affair occurred on the 17th inst. at Enna.
On the evening
of that day young Count Almasy, lieutenant in the Volun-
and who was quartered there, en •
teer Hussar Regiment,
terod the public room of the much-frequented inn the Black
Eagle, where a great number of guests were assembled. All
the seats were occupied, and, in his usual lively manner, he
asked the waiter for a cha'r. Before the man could bring it
the Count observed a vacant chair close to a lieutenant of
the same regiment, whose name is not mentioned, and he
forthwith seized it and pulled it quickly away; but, as the
lieutenant was partly using the chair, its sudden removal
caused him to fall upon the ground. The consequence of
this wa, an angry discussion between the two officers, and
the lieutenant, who held himself insulted by the uncere-
monious snatching away of the chair, challenged the young
Count to a duel with sabres. This forthwith took place,
and the Count received such desperate cuts that he died
eight hours afterwards. He was buried yesterday at Enns
with great solemnity. The position of his adversary, who
was slightly wounded, cannot be considered very enviable.
The parents of the slain roan were forthwith informed of
their son's fate by telegraph.—Lienzcr Abenaote.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

RECKLESS Durvnie.—Wm. Hutchinson, badge 3,575,
was charged before Mr. Beadon, as follows

From the evidence of George Stribling, cab proprietor,
of 89, Gloucester-mews, it appeared that he was driving
one of his cabs along Piccadilly, when the prisoner drove
his cab up Lower Itegent•street, at the rate of 12 miles an
hour, in the most reckless manner, and notwithstanding
his (complainant's) exertions he was not able to prevent a
collision, a part of his cab being smashed. A. constable,
Godwin, 206 C, tb.en came up and found that the prisoner
was drunk, and that he was on his wrong side. He then
took the prisoner into custody.

Prisoner tried to make out that it was complainant's
fault, but Mr. Beadon reminded him the constable had
prov ed that he was drunk, and ordered him to pay a fine
of 205., and 12s. damage, or, in default, two months'
impi:isonment.

The prisoner asked that the fine might be reduced, but
Mr- Beadon refused.

CLERK ENWELL.

William Wormold, a tailor, was charged with indecently
exposing his person in Brunswick-square, last night (and on
several previous occasions in the public streets), to fiveyoung
girls of tender age.

A detective-constable took him into custody last night, in
Brunswick-square, about 9 o'clook. He was convicted on
the two first charges, and sent for three months on the first,
and the same on the second charge, to the House of Correc-
tion , with hard labour.

EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1860.

"The success of the Company, even in its earliest years,
received the marked atten ion, and elicited the surprised
comments, of writers best acquainted with the history of In-
surance Companies.
" Fire Premiums for 1860 EQUAL the Total Fire Premiums
for the SEVEN YEARS 1845 to 1851.
"Life Premiums for 1860 EXCFED the Entire Life Pre-
miums for the EIGHT YvARS ending- 1852.
"Purcha=e of Annuities in 1860 LARGELY EXCEEDS the
similar receipt, for the first TEN YEARS, 1845 to 1854.
"Thio progress, it is believed, is unsurpassed, considering
hat it applies to each of the three branches of the business."
