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,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the
Cure of Strictures of the Vzethra.
" This work is the production of a surgeon ,whirspecial
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
Idnds 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.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO IREIAND,

-

KINGSTOWN, AUG. 21.

Compared with London at this stagnant season,
Dublin is in a very whirl of gaieties and excite-
ments. There are the Social Science meetings,
there is a great Horticultural Show, there is a very
admirable fine arts ext ibition, and there is the
Queen's visit. As a kind of compensation for the
strict privacy with which the latter will be con-
ducted, it happily affords an endless theme for ru-
mour, gossip, and speculation. Beyond the plain
fact that the Queen is coming, nobody seems to know
anything, and nothing is actually known. Theory,
therefore, becomes not only laudable but necessary,
and in the multitude of conjectures there is safety,
for some of them must be right if her Majesty comes
at all. According to the first programme, the Royal
party Were to embark at Holyhead at 7 p.m. to-
night and reach the Kingstown jetty shortly, before
11. Whether her Majesty will avail herself of the
darkness and quiet to land at once, or disembark in
semi-State to-morrow has been left an open question,
and, in fact, subject to her own wishes and feelings.
Thus at this present moment all is in a delightful
state of uncertainty, and everything is being done
in duplicate and got ready to serve the occasion,
either a couple of hours hence or at mid-day to-
morrow. In the same way the Royal train will be
waiting at the station to convey the party to town
by rail, but the Royal carriages and Royal escort
will be also in attendance in case her Majesty pre-
fers to go by road. A decorated canopy, a raised
scarlet dais, supernumerary benches, and all the
usual paraphernalia have been erected on the Car-
lisle pier, where the landing is to take place, and to
this coveted spot tickets have been issued, strictly
limited in number to the standing room afforded
by the pier itself. The fortunate holders of these
have, however, been informed that, to prevent
confusion and chance of accident, the cards will
not admit in case the Queen disembarks to-night,
so everyone is waiting in -t► state of the liveliest
anxiety to know what they are to do or see. It is
certainly to be hoped that the landing will not take
place this evening, as the good citizens of Dub-
lin, who have looked forward so long in anticipa-
tion of this Royal visit, will be sure to feel it as a
slight if her Majesty only drives through their
city at midnight. Apparently they find, it very
hard to reconcile themselves to the strict privacy
which her :Majesty will observe while in the
capital, and if to this is added a night landing and
a night drive to the Viceregal Lodge, their disap-
pointment, to use the mildest term, will be extreme.
From all these reasons I am inclined to think that
the Royal d isembarkation will be deferred till to-
morrow, when it is certain to take place amid
tremendous demonstrations of enthusiasm.

(In Friday it is expected that her Majesty will
pay a long private visit to the Art Exhibition in
Kildare-street, which has been established under
the auspices of the Royal Dublin Society. This, as
an art treasures display, is inferior only to the ,
magnificent collection which was brought together
in Manchester. Unlike the Manchester exhibition,
however, which was confined exclusively to ancient
and modern art, the show at Dublin is combined
with such manufactures as are more or less akin
to the fine arts. The collection is arranged in the
New Apiculture' Hall—of course a much smaller
building than that at Manchester, but roomy
enough, and especially well adapted to the display
of its works. The centre hall and its galleries are
entirely devoted to statues, rcediteval works of
art in metal, ivory, or ceramics, and to the display
of modern fine art manufactures. The side courts
are devoted to the ancient and modern Masters,
with a special gallery for water-colours. The great
bulk of pictures are of course sent from the collec-
tions of the Irish nobility and gentry ; but there
is a selection of the old masters from Hampton
Court, some splendid examples from the Vernon,
Sheepshanks, and Turner Galleries, and pictures
from the private galleries of the Queen, Prince con-
sort, and King of the Belgians. Dr. Waagen has
selected a series to represent the Prussian school
from the galleries of Dusseldorf and Berlin, and
there is also the Sotheby collection. On the whole,
it makes a superb gallery, and includes specimens
of all masters, from the earliest of the pre-Raphael-
ites to the Landseers and Maclises of our own
time. In fine art manufactures the exhibition
is equally worthy of attention. South Kensington
sends some excellent specimens of mediaeval metal-
work, and Mr. Kerr, of the Royal Porcelain Works
at Worcester, and Messrs. Elkington, in particular
make very fine displays. There is also a show of
Irish lace and crotchet work, as compared with the
finest and rarest point laces, and the laces of Brus-
sels and Valenciennes and Guipure, in which the
advantage is all on the side of the Irish manufac-
ture. At present it is supposed that Her Majesty
will devote the greater part of Friday in minutely
examining this most interesting exhibition.
On Saturday there is to be a grand review and
sham fight at the Curragh. For this event great
preparations are making, and there is certain to be
an immense concourse of spectators. On Monday
the Royal party start for Castlerosse, Killarney, the
mansion of Lord Kenmare. On Tuesday Her Majesty
goes on the lakes, and witnesses a stag-hunt.
During Wednesday and Thursday Mr. Herbert will

LIFE.
This wonderful agent will restore manhood to the most
shattered constPution, 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 tour weeks ; and, if used according to the printed in-
structions (which are very simple). failure is impossible.
This life-restoring remedy bhould be taken by a,l 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.
Pr. Ricord's Essence of Life is sold in cases, with full in-

The Royal yacht arrived here safely soon after
half-past 10 o'clock last night. The vessels of war
off the harbour burnt blue lights and illuminated,
but at that hour did not, of course, salute. There
were great crowds on all the piers of the harbour,
who remained till past midnight—long after it was
known that her Majesty would not disembark till
to-day. In the same way all the avenues leading
to Westland-row station in Dublin were equally
thronged. There will be immense crowds on all
the line of route to-day, especially as the landing is
not expected much before twelve o'clock. The time
in which the Royal yacht made the voyage last
night seems to have quite puzzled the Kingstown
people, who cherished the belief that there was no
vessel as fast as the Leinster, Holyhead packet.
The Leinster makes her best trips in little over four
hours, and the Royal yacht was considerately
allowed five in all calculations. The Victoria and
Albert accomplished the whole distance (64 miles
from land to land) in little more than 31-
hours.
The weather is cold, wet, and gloomy—likely to
become worse if possible, and apparently certain to
continue bad throughout this day at least.

The Lords of the Admiralty resumed their inspec-
tion of the naval establishments at Chatham yester-
day morning. They left the Black Eagle, on board
which they remained during Wednesday night,
shortly after ten o'clock yesterday morning, and
were rowed to the Ordnance wharf, where ti:cy
landed, and briefly examined the batteries of Arm-
strong guns, together with the piles of shot and
shell deposited on the wharf and in store for the
supply of the ships of war fitted at Chatham and at
the Nore. After leaving the store department, they
proceeded to the Royal Marine-barracks, where
the whole of the officers and men of the division
now at head-quarters, numbering upwards of 800
men of all ranks, were drawn up in line on the
parade-ground. Their lordships were received by
Major-Gen. Sir R, Wesley, Deputy-ALjt.,Geu , and
Col. E. Rea, the commandant, and the stall' of the
division. The division afterwards broke into com-
panies and marched past in slow and quick time,
Their lordships next witnessed the entire battalion
go through the bayonet exercise, which the men per-
formed in an excellent manner, under the direction
of Lieutenant-Colonel M‘Killop. After inspecting
several of the barrack-buildings and school-rooms,
they were occupied some time in an examination of
the plans for the proposed enlargement of the Roy al
Marine Barracks. At present there is a want of
accommodation in the barracks for the Royal Ma-
rines at head-quarters, as a proof of which 100 ma-
rines are at present quartered at Chatham with the
troops • of the line—an arrangement which is, of
course, highly inexpedient. In order to obviate
the inconveniences experienced from these causes,
the present barracks are to be considerably en-
larged, and additional accommodation provided for
500 men. The purchase of the site, which is already
in possession of the Board, and the erection of the
new barracks, will involve an outlay of little less
than £lOO,OOO, of which £55,000 has already
been voted by Parliament, and the sum of £22,000
expended. Their Lordships, accompanied by Col.
Greene, director of Admiralty Works, and Mr.
Rivers, went over the site and the buildings to be
removed, and it is understood that the works, which
have been so long in abeyance, will be proceeded
with as soon as the plans have been finally approved.
Before concluding their inspection of the Royal
Marines their Lordships expressed the wish to wit-
ness the men go through the great gun exercise. A
party of 70 men who are under instruction, and
most of whom have only recently been trained to
gun drill, were marched down to the ships' gun
battery, under the command of Major C. J. Ellis.
The battery is constructed to represent the broad-
side of a line-of-battle ship. Here the Marines were
put through their exercise with the large 68-poun-
ders, ',and, notwithstanding their size, they were
moved about, cast loose, lowered, pointed, and fired,
with the greatest apparent ease, the facility and
promptitude with which these movements were ef-
fected eliciting high commendation. Their Lord-
ships returned to the dockyard shortly before one
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
• The President, 50, fitting in the fourth dock at
Chatham fora trAining ship in the Thames, will re-
quire more repairs than were at first anticipated.
Already a considerable portion of her copper has
been stripped off her in order that she may he re-
coppered, in addition, to which she requires sonic
extensive repairs internally.
The screw steamship Sanspareil, 70, Captain
Bowycar, left Plymouth on Tuesday with naval

yesterday, to have her bottom cleaned, examined,
