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 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.

THE FRENCH FLEET BEFORE GAETA

The French Government have offered to Sar-
dinia to withdraw the squadron under Admiral le
Barbier de 1 inan from Gaeta, provided the Italian
army will suspend their fire till the 18th or 19th
inst. It is probable the Government at Turin will
assent to these terms, if, as we understand, Admiral
Persano, at the expiration of that term, is to be at
liberty to pursue the operations necessary for the
reduction of the place.—Morning Post.

THE NEW YORK MONEY MARKE7'.

The letters and newspapers from America received
in the City yesterday reach only to the morning of
the 22d of December, those by the Europa to the
26th not having yet been delivered. They con-
tinue to express great surprise and satisfaction at
the absence of alarm on this side, since, although
it was known that the American houses in London
were never in a stronger position, owing to the
low rate of exchange having stimulated all their
correspondents to hurry forward remittances as
fast ,as possible, the impression was that every
department of general business would be seriously
affected. The arrivals of gold by the Atlantic and
Persia having exceeded expectations, the market
for exchange had become very firm, the leading
bankers refusing for the moment to name a price ;
105 was ultimately adopted, and it was thought
that a further advance would take place, such as
would render shipments from this side unprofitable.l
Orders for gold sent by a previous packet were
therefore countermanded, and the confidence as to
the maintenance of the rate was increased by the
fact that shipments of grain were retarded by wet
weather. In contradiction, however, to these anti-
cipations the telegram via Halifax to the 27th now
announces that, although the City of Manchester
and the Canada had arrived out with additional
supplies of gold to the extent of £209,631, the quo-
tation of exchange had receded to 104, while stocks,
on the other hand, continued to show a continued
revival, Erie being quoted 351, New York Central
751, and Illinois Central 681 to 69. It is possible,
but not probable, that the quotation of exchange
may refer to mercantile, and not to bankers' bills, in
which case the latter would stand at about 105 to
106. Supposing this not to be the explanation, the
inference must be that, as the reports from New
Orleans announce very large transactions at advanc-
ing prices in the cotton market, in consequence partly
of the accounts from England and the fear of the
occurrence of disturbances among the slaves, tele-
grams had reached New York that an unusually
heavy supply of cotton bills on England was about
to be forwarded for negotiation.

SWINDLING EXTILAOR DINARY.—Mr. Samuel Gluck-
stein, of the firm of Gluck:Ltein and Co., extensive cigar im-
porters and manufacturens, applied to Mr. Selfe for a war-
rant to apprehend a man 3 tamed Phillip Moses, late of No.

supposed to be now in Ire land, who had defrauded the firm
to the amount of £75 lull c.r the following remarkable cir-
cumstances :

Mr. Gluckstein said tht It in the early part of last month,
Moses, who gave his addl.-. ?ss in Alic street as above, and
who was related to the he ad of a very wealthy firm in the
City, waited upon him an d his partner (now present), and
represented himself as an export merchant and wholesale
optician, and said that he was about to proceed to
Glasgow on very imp( ortant business, and that he
had a customer who would buy any quantity of
cigars. Moses also said f. hat he wished a very particular
article to be manufacture d for him, and gave an order for
£75 worth of goods, whic h he directed to be forwarded to
the railway station at Gh,,sgow, and promised to forward
the money to tendon on receipt of the goods. He
despatched a portion of the cigars ordered to Glasgow
on the 12th instant, an d the remainder a week after-
wards, but instead of the money he had since received
the following letter bearin, g theßelfast postmark, but with-

The French Government have offered to Sar-

army will suspend their fire till the 18th or 19th

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
Patron The QUEEN.

This Hospital is entirely devoted to destitution in its most
pitiable form—viz., that which is accompanied by sickness
and disease—and is now of sufficient magnitude that with
adequate support it may be rendered capable of admitting
into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of
this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to
have 500 beds immediately available for the reception of these
the most wretched of our fellow-creatures ; moreover, it gra -
tuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the
average, than 2,000 out-patients a-week.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE

fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S

" GOVERNI4ENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
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-

" Some Seiks, and a private of the Buffs, having re-
mained behind with the grog-carts, fell into the hands of
the Chinese. On the next morning they were brought be-
fore the authorities, and commanded to perform the kotou.
The Seiks obeyed; but Moyse, the English soldier, declar-
ing that he would not prostrate himself before any China-
man alive, was immediately knocked upon the head, and
his body thrown on a dunghill.—See China Correspondent
of the Times.

Last night, among his fellow roughs,
Ho jested, quaffed, and swore;
A drunken private of the Buffs,
Who never looked before.
To. day, beneath the foeman's frown,
He stands in Elgin's place,
Ambassador from Britain's crown,
And type of all her race.

Poor, reckless, rude, low-born, untaught,
Bewildered, and alone,
A heart, with English instinct fraught,
He yet can call his own.
Ay, tear his body limb from limb,
Bring cord, or axe, or flame :
He only knows, that not through him
Shall England come to shame,

Far Kentish* hop-fields round him seem'd,
Like dreams, to come and go ;
Bright leagues of Cherry-blossom gleam'd
One sheet of living snow;
The smoke, above his father's door,
In grey soft eddyings hung :
Must ho then watch it rise no more,
Doom'd by him; off, so young ?

Yes, honour calls I— with strength like steel
He put the vision by.

Let dusky Indians whine and kneel;
An English lad must die.
And thus, with eyes that would not shrink,
With knee to man unbent,
Unfaltering on its dreadful brink,
To his red grave he went.

Vain, mightiest fleets, of iron framed;
Vain, those all-shattering guns;
Unless proud England keep, untamed,
The strong heart of her sous.
So let his name through Europe ring—
A man of mean estate,
Who died, as firm as Sparta's king,
Because his soul was great.

SCII4-111'1 AND ABD.EL-IfzIDER

The following correspondence has been exchanged
between Schamyl and Abd-el-kader :
" Salutation to him who has made himself illus•
trious among all men : to him who has extinguished
the flames of discord, and who has torn up by the
roots the tree of enmity which resembles the head
of Satan ! Glory be to God wfio has granted to his
servant his own safety, and the safety of the faith !
Salutation to the intimate friend, to the just Abd-
el-Kader ; may the palm of glory and of honour
flourish on thy throne ! I have heard things which
the ears and the entrails would reject. Horrible
things have happened between the Mussulmans
and the Christrians, who had formerly signed a
treaty of peace with the Kalifs. My hair has stood
on end, and the skin of my face, before smooth,
has been wrinkled at the recital of the lamen-
table events of Damascus. I then said evil has
taken possession of the sea and of the Continent.
No, it is not for the interest of God. but for
th

eir own, that the Mussulmans of Damascus
have done those things. What bands had the
governors over their eyes ? Why have they swam
in crimes ? Why have they forgotten those words
of the Prophet: He who shall commit injustice
towards a Monald (Christian); he who shall refuse
him his rights; who shall compel him to do what is
beyond his strength, and shall rob him of his pro-
perty, I,' says the Prophet, will be his accuser at
the day of resurrection.' How rine is this expres-
sion. When I heard that you had spread out the
wings of mercy and of kindness to protect the
Christians, and that you had stopped those who
sought to violate the Divine laws, I was not sur-
prised that you gained the victory in the arena of
praises. I was content with you. May God be so
also in the supreme day, when neither money nor
children will avail you in any way. You have
caused the revival of the words of the Prophet sent
among mankind by the mercy of God, and you
placed a bridle on those who violated his decrees.
May God preserve us from him who crosses the
limits which he has traced out! This is why I
express to you my joy and my satisfaction in thi._
letter, a bouquet of flowers taken from the garden
of the poor prisoner among the infidels, by the
decree of the Almighty God.
"SCHAMYL, the Stranger."
London, England, 1861-01-08

ther north and counting the projects for Scotland,
there is one which deserves to be mentioned, for
filling up the gap between Perth and Inverness. It
is evident that many blank places in the railway
map will this year be occupied. But of course
several embryo schemes, after giving their Parlia-
mentary notices, will never come to the birth.
Those that do must finally, for life or for extinction,
abide the fiat of the least satisfactory tribunal that
modern reforms have left in authority in this king-
dom.

It is said that the projects for new lines now
to come before Parliament propose to raise nearly
£7,000,000 for their execution. But the existing
railways require a large sum every year (not paid
out of revenue) for additional rolling stock, larger
stations, heavier rails, and other improvements, and
upon the whole it may be taken that the capital
invested in the railways of the United Kingdom
increases by £10,000,000 a year. To meet this,
and care a return for it, the number of miles of
railway increases by about 400 a year. To pay 5
per cent. on the increased capital of £10,000,000
the gross receipts should increase by nearly
£1,000,000 a year, or about £19,000 a week. But
in 1860 the 12 chief companies alone have had an
increase of traffic of considerably more than
£1,000,000. There is little doubt that the gross
receipts of railways for the year have exceeded the
interest of the National Debt, but they have to be
winnowed of nearly half for working expenses
before any profits are divided on the £350,000,000
invested in the railroads of the United Kingdom.
But no one will ever grudge them a fair profit for
the vast service they render. Seven years ago,
when they were about three-fourths what they
now are, Robert Stephenson calculated that, adding
together the saving of time in every railway jour-
ney taken in a single year, as compared with the
time it would have occupied by coach, the aggre-
gate amounted to no less than 38,000 years of eight
hours a day; and, allowing 3s. a day as the value
of labour, the annual saving to the nation was even
then £2,000,000 a year. Above half a million of
persons—men with their wives and children—are
supported by the employment furnished by the
making and working of railroads. As for the pro-
duce of the traffic, peers, prelates,judges, private
families without number, are enabled to embark in
the great carrying business of the country and
share in its profits without any personal trouble,
risk of liability, or loss of caste—traders without
knowing it.
