"We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of
stricture to have equalled, if it has not exceeded, that of any of his
contemporaries ; whilst we most certainly know of no man to whose
care wo would sooner intrust the treatment of a severe case of stric-
ture."—Medical Circular.

NAPLES.

NAPLES, Feb. 14. —flieKing is still at Caserta,
and lives more secluded than ever. He is afraid
of his own brothers, but above all of his son,
the heir to his crown. The rumour of ae
approaching change is still current at the Court.
People, however, no longer talk of abdica-
tion, but it is affirmed positively that the
King will make some concessions to the Western
Powers, and will then make a journey somewhere
with the Queen and bis family. His eldest 0011
v,;11 act as Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom in
his absence (others say the Prince Luigi), not 86
an alter ego, but with instructions very detailed,
and, to assist him, men who will not only be his
advisers, but spies on him. Ferdinand cannot
make up his mind to lay aside the crown at the age
of 47, although that crown is really one of thorns.
Domiciliary visits continue. After the visit rf
the police to Filanghieri, to Ischitella, ex-Minister
of War and other functionaries attached to the G°.
vernment by years of fidelity, three or four der
ago M. Ripagnolis, the Commissary of Police,
visited the house where the nephews of General
Lucca reside, and then presented himself at the re-
sidence of the ex-Minister of Police, Delcanetto•
Numerous visits have been paid to the howleo Of,
simple citizens, especially those of the legal profes-
sion, who are especially suspected of being hostile
to the King. The visit which has produced the
greatest astonishment in public is that paid to the
Prince de C—, whose attachment to the Boer'
bons has never before been called in question.

DUBLIN AND WICKLOW AND KINGSTOWN,

The report states that the receipts (33,3871.). On the
Kingstown portion of the line have been most satisfac-
tory, and, as compared with the corresponding period of
the previous year, show an increase of 4,2081., which in-
cludes a sum of 2,4241. received from the Kingstown
Company on account of subscription tickets unexpired
at the date of the lease. The balance to the credit of
revenue on the last half-year amounts to the sum of
4,5931. The report further states that the entire of the
Wicklow line proper was not open during the whole of
the corresponding period of the previous year, but shows
an increase of 7,293/. The receipts of the half-year
amounted to 17,7541. and the working expenses to
8,6071., leaving 2,4551., and making with the balance
from previous half-years a sum of 8,0381. on the revenue
of the Wicklow line, to . which is added a balance of
4,5391. on the Kingstown accounts, making a total ba-
lance on revenue account of 12,9741., which will be car-
ried forward as available for dividend at a future period.
The amount of the company's debt is 193,6091., against
which is to be set credits amounting to 24,5911., leaving
a net debt of 169,0171.

TRAFFIC.

Number of passengers carried—The total number of
passengers conveyed upon the South-Eastern lines during
the half-year, as compared with the corresponding period
of 1855-6, have been as follows : —1856, 4,528,242; 1857,
4,593,211; increase, 67,002. Receipts, 1856, 377,2 31. 6s.
2d. ; 1857, 372,370/. 17s. 11d. ; decrease, 4,8821 Bs. 3d.
Passenger Traffic—The proprietors will observe with sa-
tisfaction that, notwithstanding the heavy decrease in the
receipts for through Continental traffic, which has amounted
to 13,5181. as compared with the Paris Exhibition season of
1855-6, the receipts from passenger traffic have on the
whole been well maintained. This is attributable to the
steady increase of the local traffic generally, as well as to
the increased traffic brought upon the line from the Strood
and Maidstone branch, which was opened in June last.
Merchandise Traffic—The increase under this head dur-
ing the last half-year has been 4,2701. 14s. 2d., which is
satisfactory when the unusually large hop traffic of the
corresponding season of the previous year is taken into
account. When the necessary goods accommodation on
the Strood and Maidstone branch has been completed by
the contractor, the directors look with confidence to an in-
crease of the goods traffic from that source.
REVENUE EXPENSES.
Working Expenses—The expenditure incurred in the
working of the railway (including all ordinary charges
upon traffic) during the past half-year exhibits a decrease
of 12,5211. 7s. 9il. as compared with the corresponding
period of 1855-6.

DINNER TO MR. CARDWELL AT OMPORD.—On Thurs-
day the Right Hon. E. Cardwell, M.P., was entertained
at dinner b. y his Oxford constituents. The banquet
took place in a spacious marquee erected in the meadow
adjoining Magdalen Water-walk. Upwards of a thou-
sand persons were present. James Pike, Esq., occupied
the chair. Mr Cardwell, in returning thanks for the.
toast of his health, which was drunk with great enthu-
siasm, ref. rred to the present session as not having bepathe,
prolific in questions of interest. After speaking of
large share of its attention which Indian affairs would
occupy next session, Mr. Cardwell said that another
question of importance which would come more promi-
nently forward than it had for the last. year or two was
the apportionment of our public expenditure to our public
resources. Mr. Cardwell then adverted to the promised
Reform Bill—which he said would not be like the l
and
a conflict for power on the part of the commercial and
middle class, but a question of. the scientific application
of political principles to the enlarged requirements of the
people. Mr. Cardwell concluded by declaring his prin-
ciples to be those of a moderate "advancing ,liberal"
Tho health of the Vice-Chancellor and the .17
was responded to by Mr. Roundel Palmer.

their mode of training and teaching. All our

readirs should, however, understand the precise

character of the tuiverity, and the position of the

parties concerned in this question. It is a body

chartered by the Crown, and the Senate, or

governing body, is nominated by the crown. Of

Late years, however, the graduates have been as-

serting their claim to share, by convocation, in
the government of the University. A committee
of them has worked long and successfully for that
purpose, and the New Charter is now under the
consideration of the Crown, the Senate, and the
Graduates' committee.

Comparatively recently, the Senate has avowed
the opinion that the surrender of the old charter,
and the grant of a new one, is the appropriate
time to open the university examinations to all
corners ; but, what ought not to have been looked
for, the graduates ar© opposed to this being done l

They wish, at least, that, as in Oxford and Cam-
bridge, the Degree given should distinguish be-
tween those who have been trained in affiliated
institutions and those who have not. Already
these alur►tni of the radical University have begun
to develope the tendencies to exclusiveness of all
class and corporate bodies.

AN EXILE AS HE IS.

Another of my tormentors is a lean, withered
exile, whose enemy is the Court of Austria. He
is gradually scorching sere beneath the eye of Prince
--, which, he avers, is always upon him. He is
full of horrible knowledge. He tolls dismaying
tales of secret police, - who follow him closely as
would his shadow, were there substance enough in
him to make one. They hunt him from house to
house, from hour to hour. In fear of these,'he
changes his lodgings every week, and his coffee-
room every day. His eye is restless, his gait timid,
his posture crouching, his step silent. He glides
in upon me with whispers, and slinks away with
silent signs.
This decaying martyr was once a tutor of princes,
, and afterwards an official of the Austrian Court.
He thus became possessed of State secrets, which,
if divulged, would set empires in arms ; but he_
preserves them, and the world remains tranrquil:
If he were but to speak out ! "Al' t Misttoe RourO
dacteur," he sometimes says, " you lookp
Kveens, and your Ministeres, and your
ooamrleem;yents
but
to give you your peace for long time, toere the vurld's

said to de vurld,

comes with a little slip of intelligence trans-

out the brains of Emperors ; or, that an Italian
Professor has secretly devised means for supplying
unarmed peasants with a sure defence against the
weapons of trained troops ; or that a clever Pole is
having manufactured at Manchester a machine
which, by the aid of a single patriot, will simultane-
ously annihilate Moscow and Vienna. On finding
(as he has hitherto always found) that his article is
not inserted, he whines and trembles, and departs
possessed of another undoubted proof of the success-
ful operations of the aforesaid secret police.

THE INTERCEPTING PLAN OF THE BOARD.

Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that no direct answer
had been received by the board to the communica-
tion which, by their order, bad been addressed to
the First Commissioner of Works, inquiring when
it was probable that the board would receive his
decision on the plan of inteicepting drainage Sub-
mitted to him on the 22d of December. He would,
therefore, move that Sir B. Hall be again written t.
on this matter.

The PRESIDENT said that the motion, if persisted
in, would probably lead to an inconvenient discus•
sion on the main question.
After some further observations the motion was
dropped.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Aug. 12.—1 n virtue of the Currer,ty
Treaty bet wee n Austria and the other German St at,s
the Vienna Bank will have to resume its cash pay-
ments on Jan. 1, 1859, but it is by no means el. ar
that it will be in a position to do so with. safe y.
At present the reserve fund of the Bank is but
94,500,000f1., with a paper circulation of neatly
394,000,000f1. The moneyed world is of opiniun
that the Bank would speedily get out of its difticia-
ties if it were to raise a loan on the doma'ins
ceded to it by the State, but it is doubtful
whether Government would authorise it to do
so. The domains in question are valued A
155,000,000f1., and there would hardly be a- 1y
great difficulty in obtaining a loan on them if it
were what is hare called a " lottery loan." The
loan which was contracted in 1854 bears interes t at
4 per cent., and the holders of shares (250 fl.) 1 a-
sides play once a year in a lottery in which th,;re
are 4,000 tickets. In the lottery, in which thrze re
no blanks, the highest prize is 200,00011., and the
lowest 30011. The 1854 loan was emitted at 95, lut
it now stauds at 100, although the 5 per ce.
National Loan is down to 84g. The harvest Las
been extremely good, but the drought has been, so
great in some parts of the empire that there is a. s ,d
want of fodder. In Moraviathe landed propriety re
are reducing their flocks and herds, as they fore ee
that, they shall have great difficulty in procuri ag
-
food for them during the winter. Some years ago
there was such a terrible dearth of fodder iu .IV.! ,o.
ravia, that many of the sheep were literally star\ rod,
to death, but au ingenious nobleman manageo, to
keep all his sheep alive by mixing with their r Ansi
food leaves which he had gathered from the trees
in summer, and dried like hay in the sun.

"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
.t.l contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
dmo, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medl-

and 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
xould find Its way into the hands of those whoa suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less Importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is welt qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of trenting-Spermatorrhcea' and to place the treat-

estimated gross cost of the following works, agreed
to by this board, and also the time within which
the amount should be repaid, viz., Southwark ina.

VIST OF THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENort TO COWES.
—Soon after one o'clock on Sunday 1.4.6 t, as the Pearl
steamer was discharging a number of txeursionists from
London via Southampton, a 14 foot punt was rowed up
to the causeway, at the Fountain Stearn-boat-wharf,
and three gentlemen stepped out and proceeded by the
archway through the street towards the Parade, by
which time it was understood to be the Emperor and
two of his suite. Neither the Commodore, Viee-Com-
nntdrhappened to be at the club-
house, and ornd the Secretary,r.Delin Raduffe sbewed the royal visi-
tors over the old and then over the new Squadron-
house ; they returned through the town by the High-
street, stepped into the waterman's boat that brougbt
them scrods, and were rowed across. On landing at
East Cowes,
a fly was passing on its return from
Osborne, tiny hailed the driver to know if he could take
them across,
which he agreed to do, not knowing who
he was about to take, 'nor how well he was to be paid
for the job—on setting down his fare he was presented
with a gold Napoleon. The boatman was paid in the
same way. The Emperor has allowed his name to be
entered as patron of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and
has given a cup to be sailed for in 1858. •

NEV MAP OF 211111 FORT AND
CANTONMENT OF DELHI.

Mr. Wyld has just pro luced an excellent sketch
of the far-famed capital of the ancient Moguls--
its fort and cantonment, situate on the river Jumna,
which runs along its walls. The ruins of ancient
Delhi are to the south of Shajehanabad, or modern
Delhi, which includes the king's palace, close upon
the Jumna, with its walls fortified by bastions, and
numerous gates and cantonments stretching to the
north-west to the extent of about five miles along
the river Jumna, which rum rapidly in the rainy
season. Modern,.Delhi is about two miles broad
by about five in length.

London, England, 1857-08-15

The ruins of the old theatre are now outing/
down and the debris nearly cleared away in props"
ration for the new buildings to be erected on the
site. These will consist of a Theatre and Flosvef
Market, the area of the former bf which will he
about 230 feet by 120 feet, and the latter 220 fee',
by 75 feet. The new Covent-garden Opera Ho-oe,,
as we believe it is to be called, when completed
will he the largest in London except her M jentYe
Theatre in the Haymarket. The principal entrance
to it will be by a sextile portico in Bovi-streeti
within which there is intended to be a spaciole
entrance ball and grand staircase. The Queen°
entrance will be in Hart-street, communicating
with which are planned staircases and retiring
rooms. The stage will run parallel with Barti:
street. The -ceiling of the theatre, together with
the fronts of the boxes, are to be constructed 0'
the patent fibrous wood, similar to that used ill
the new Reading-loom of the British Museuoto
which appears to be admirably adapted for such
purpose. The backs and divisions of the upper
boxes are to be so contrived that they can be re'
moved, as also the pit tier, to admit of entire re'
moval and occasional extension of the pit under the
grand tier of boxes. The roof and suppOrting
ders of the boxes will be of wrought-iron, light•ana
elegant iu design. There are to be no columns in
front of the boxes, so the view of the stage will be
entirely uninterrupted. The proscenium is in-
tended to be so constructed that it will admit of re'
moval, so as to convert the entire building, as occa-
sion may require, into an enormous concert rood'""
combining the whole of the stage space and auditory.
The gallery is to extend over the principal entrance,
and into the tympanum of the pOrtico, so that no
space will be lost that can be made available. The
entire area to be occupied by spectators will cored'
prise three tiers of boxes, an amphitheatre, pit, 011,0
gallery. The flower market is planned so as ./1
run parallel wills Great Russell-street, and v7l,
form a highly interesting portion of Mr. Ole 0
general scheme, It is intended to be covered' b1:0
light semi.oircular iron roof 50 feet in span, tft
space underneath which is to be arranged in stalls °
the sale of out flowers and other floral produc'
lions. There are to be two entrances in the D;
ket, the principal one of which will be in BOW
