STRICTURI of the URETHRA; its Patho-
logy and Rational Treatment, with important Practical Ob-
servations on the Use and Abuse of Instruments in the Treatment
of Obstructions of the Urinary Canal ; showing how it is that Stric-
tares, in most cases, net only resist, but are aggravated by the ordi-
nary means adopted for their cure, and at length become seriously
complicated by the so-called " consequences of Stricture." The
whole illustrated by numerous cases, which will be found to embrace
every possible form of Stricture and its consequences, together with
appropriate means of care.
By F. It. COURTENAT,
Those who are labouring under long-protracted stricture, with all
its accompanying miseries, will fled detailed in this work modes of
treatment adapted to such cases, the efficacy and superiority
ho of
which have been tested by repeated practice; whilst these w
are suffering under the less severs forms of the disease may find
the means of prompt relief, and at the same time such information
as will protect them from becoming the victims of unskiltal and
violent treatment—the mainspring of severe and complicated ob•
'tractions of the urinary canal. " The operation of iatroduzing a
catheter through an impermeable stricture is, without doubt, the
most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, and de-
mands all the prudence, science, and skill of a master. The art
can only be acquired. and that gradually, by frequent practice."—

The Austrian Government is about to send a sci-
entific expedition into Central Africa, under the direc-
tion of Baron Jean Guilliaume de Muller, the learned
linguist, who has already made two journeys into that
country. He will be accompanied by M. Alfred Brehm,
the zoologist; M. Oscar Brehm, the chemist, and M.
Viesthaler, a physician, of Ccethen. The members of
the expedition will assemble on the banks of the lake
Birk- el-Karoun (Maoris) in Upper Egypt, from whence
they will go by the Red Sea to Souakin, and thence to
the north of Abyssinia, which will be the principal ob-
ject of their voyage. 'They will embark on the river
Bien, and follow its course, and will endeavour, if pos-
sible, to reach the sources of the Nile and of the White
River. The Austrian Government intends to establish
commercial relations with Abyssinia, and in case of need
to found a colony. M. C'e Muller has just received the
appointment of Consul-General of Austria in Central
Atrica.

view with Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Military Secretary to
the Commander-in-Chief. His Lordship subsequently
went to the office of the Board of Control, and{ had) an
interview with Sir John Hobhouse, President of that de-
partment of the Government. Returning home, the
Noble Lord entered his name in the visiting book of his
Royal Highness the Prince Consort at Buckingham
Palace, and left his card for the Premier at his residence,
in Chesham-place. During the day his Lordship was
honoured w ith personal calls at his residence, in Upper
Brook street, by the Lord Chancellor, Sir Robert Peel,
Sir John Macdonald ( Adjutant-General), the Marquis
of Londonderry, Viscount Mahon, Lord Fitzroy Somer-
set, &c., with several of whom he had interviews. Lord
and Lady Gough left town at five o'clock yesterday after-
noon, to pay a visit to their daughter, at Bath.
DEATH OF MR. HOPE JOHNSTONE. This gen-
tleman was well known on the northern turf. He has
long been famed as a very dashing rider in steeple-
chases, especially at Eglinton Park. About a year ago
Mr. Johnstone bad a fall backwards over a sunk fence,
when on the look out for poachers, which injured his
spine to such an extent as to almost entirely confine
ilia to the sofa.—Carlisle Patriot. •
