The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed to last a life time, as well as for mastication and articulation.

Montain Doe made the running to the straight, where the favourite got his head momentarily in front, but was subsequently defeated after a good race by half a length, a bad third. The winner was bought in by Mr. C. Fish for 91 guineas. The great meeting of the ironmasters of this dis trict was held in the Town-hall here this afternoon. All the leading firms were represented; the assembly was not so numerous as it sometimes is, but there was a better attendance than inuel of those who are interested in the trade in other localities; the Liverpool firms especially were in greater force. Just as the meeting was commencing the tele gram was received announcing the reduction of the Bank rate of discount to 21 per cent., and almost simultaneously with it came the intelligence, which evidently was more gratifying to the meeting, that the Federals had encountered a defeat before Rich mond. The Federal cause has at no time had many very warm sympathisers in the South of Stafford shire and East Worcestershire district, and the new tariff concocted by. the statesmen of the North, for the more effectual commercial isolation of the coun try, has alienated most of the sympathy which re mained for the Federal cause.

Wyatt's Ledbury, 3 yrs, 7st 21b (Jaques) 5 Betting—Even on Zingari, 3 to 1 agst Sweet Jessamine, 5 to 1 agst any other. The meeting was more animated than had been anticipated, and a very fair amount of business was done, much larger than was reported three months ago, and that too on all descriptions of finished iron. Undersellers at that time were able to command better prices to-day, and to obtain orders of best brands were compelled to pay the trade prices ; and the general tone of the assembly was such as to in dicate that the trade is in a much healthier state than it was three months ago. The North Staffordshire makers are full of orders ; the Welshmen in the hall to-day also report more favourably of the trade in that quarter than for 12 months past. The " improved" Morrill Tariff was a good deal discussed, and with this result—the conviction that whatever duty the Americans may chose to impose upon iron imported from this country, they will be compelled to take it, for even with their greatly reduced consumption for the last 12 months, and the exhaustion of their stocks, they have been com pelled of late to order freely from this country. In these circumstances, American duties for the pur pose of protection and prohibition are of compara tively small concern to the English ironmaster, with the markets of France and other countries opening for his productions. There was a good quantity of pig. iron sold at this meeting. Hotblaet iron of best quality fetched £3 2s. 6d. per ton, and stocks have been sold off since last quarter. Ironstone, the yield of the district, commanded a better price than it did in April, and was in de mand. The favourite made the whole of the running, and won cleverly by half a length ; a head between second and third. THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. The " strategical motives" which have led a gene ral to retire, after an attack of the enemy, from a position which he had occupied in order to make an assault upon his capital, are purely unintelligible. It is quite obvious that a retrograde movement on the part of a besieging army means an untenable position, a confession of weakness, a measure of safety. If the English army before Delhi had thrown their right beyond the Subsee Muridee, and then had retired across it after two hard fights against a sortie of the Sepoys, so that their right was obliged to double back and cover itself behind the left on the Jumna, even our affection, our hopes, and our fears could not deceive us into the belief that the retro grade movement was made in conseqaence of any premeditated strategy, and that the attack was an expected result which must lead to the strengthening of the new position. If for a moment we take the Thames as representing the James River, and then imagine a deep and sluggish stream sweeping round the city from the north-east, so as to fall into the Thames below Plaistow-marshes, we have a rough idea of the relations of the Chickahominy with the James River and Richmond. To the east of the Chickahominy, thus represented, let us conceive a river flowing from the north-west, at a distance of 12 miles from it, which is called the Pamunkey, and which turns off eastwards into the sea at some point on the coast of Essex. The Federal generai,having advanced between the James and the latter river, finds himself with the Chickahominy in his front. He throws a portion of his army across the river, and, having thus established his left, proceeds to pivot upon it, and to extend his right by the right bank of the Pamunkey so as to get to the north of Richmond. Scarcely has he done to, when the enemy attack the left which had crossed the river Chickahominy, inflict on it a severe defeat, take guns and prisoners, and only retire when M'Clellan throws a large supporting force across the river. A small cavalry razzia made by the enemy on his right sweeps round it, destroys com missariat vessels in the Pamunkey, and encirc ling his whole army, crosses the Chickahominy below his left, and returns to the " beleagured city." The communications of the army so situated have been mainly dependent on the rivers and the sea, and while the General has been preparing for an assault on the enemy the corps on which he has relied for some demonstration on his extreme right are suddenly attacked by the Confederates under " Stonewall" Jackson (so-called from his tenacity in holding to an obstruction of that nature in his fight with Shields at Winchester last spring), and are chased across the Potomac. An active offensive movement in combination with Fremont forces Jackson to fall back into the Valley of the Shenan doah, but, suddenly turning to the east, he crosses the mountains, and marches straight, with his vic torious little army "largely reinforced," whether by Beauregard's men or not it is impossible to say, and joins the army of the Confederates at Richmond. The presence of this dashing leader and his men seems to invigorate the Southern leaders. On the 26th of June they direct an attack on the right wing of the Federals between the Chickahominy and Pamunkey in heavy force. Then comes official confusion. " The Federals, by order, receded several miles, hotly pui sued (and therefore run ning very hard) by the Confederates." Two days' hard fighting led to the retreat of the whole of the Federal army to the other side of the Chickaho miny, so that they now lie massed between that river on their right and James River on their left. Now, their retreat has left open the whole of the country between the Chickahominv and the Pa munkey to the Confederates. West Point and White House have fallen into the enemy's hands, and the head of the York River is once more their own. If M'Clellan had proprio motu suddenly transported his army across the river after menac ing Richmond on the north side, so as to lead the enemy to throw up works and to prepare for an attack on that quarter, leaving Richmond at the side resting on the James River comparatively weak, we might nnderstand the strategy; but such a movement after a serious attack, hard fight ing for two days or more, "heavy loss," " a hot pursuit" by the enemy, a contraction of lines is at least suspicious, strategically considered ; and " making" for the James River looks like a severe reverse. The proximity to Richmond is gone ; the menace of the lines is no more; for if General M'Clellan or his successor makes the James River the base of operations the Federal army must drop down lower than Fort Darling unless their gunboats have worked through the obstructions, which has not yet been asserted. But Burnside, we are told, is to attack Richmond. Where from ? When last heard of he was before Norfolk, on the right bank of the James River, and if he moves up on Peters burg, which is not yet taken, so far as we know, with his small force he gives Huger a splendid op portunity of destroying his detached and isolated force. If he moved up, covered by the gunboats, he could not get beyond Fort D arlin g , and would be on the wrong side of the river. The telegram is so obscure that it may turn out . that M'Cl e ll an st i ll holds the north side of the Chickahominy with his former left, which is now made his right ; and that he has massed his former right on the left, b e t ween theChickahominy and the Jamesß iver, preparing to make an attempt to force the defence, in conjunction with the gunboats, and Burnside across the river; but the probabilities are all against such a masterly plan, which would demand a most com p l ete an d effective organisation and ability in executing com bined movements. General M'Dowell, in the new changes of Federal commanders spoken of, seems quite out of the field. The successor of Fremont is a West country lawyer, named Rufus King, but, though " he never set a squadron in the field, nor the division of a battle knows," he may be as good a man as his predecessor without being a great general. The idea of Pope, who is Commander-in- Chief, it appears, of the Western army of Virginia, attacking Richmond after " Stonewall" J ac k son ' s exploit, is simply absurd. Th e defeat at Charles ton, and the heavy reverse which the Federals have suffered, will not suffice, perhaps, to bring them to reason, but they must, at all events, infuse new energy and determination into the Southern army, and precipitate the moment when a great aggressive movement against the Northern armies, weakened by disease and disheartened by the hope deferred which will make even the Yankee heart sick, may . produce such results as shall lead to a cessation of hostilities and eventually to the termination of the war.—limea. Upon the whole the meeting passed off satisfac torily ; if the trade was not brisk there was ample evidence that it is removt d from languor. The members of the association afterwards dined together at the Hen and Chickens, under the presi-. sidency of Mr. Philip Williams. BURNING OF 2HE PRAYER-BOOK. For several weeks past there has been a series of street preachings and hot exhortations in Bedford by Nonconformists and free-spoken preachers, who set themselves up as bright and shining lights to expose the iniquities of this respectable town. Up to a certain time Bedford was reputed to be far above the average in point of order, decorum, and religious observance. The only cause of complaint was occasional bitter hostility to the Established Church, expressed by certain classes of Dissen ters. Of late, however, certain " hot gospellers " have most unwarrantably set forth to blacken the reputation of the town and to denounce its inhabi tants as a terribly wicked and idolatrous people. A constant sowing of seed of any kind is certain to produce fruit some day or other, and a long tuition by political Dissenters must be expected to pro duce results hostile to the Church, against which their attacks are directed. The Dissenting viru lence against the Church has at last had its culmi nating point. True, the church has not been pulled down and the highway repaired with its stones, as over-zealous schismatics have desired to see ; but Bedford has just witnessed an act which cannot but be regarded as the foretaste of what unbridled fana ticism and unquenchable hatred to the Church would rejoice to see accomplished. Among the street preachers who have been making exciting harangues in the public places of this town is a Mr. Jones, who was in the first instance brought down from London by two Bedford persons. For some weeks he has been delivering periodical dis courses on St. Peter's-green, and has conducted public baptisms in the river Ouse ; but beyond some eccentricities of phraseology and startling notions of theology we have not heard that any great harm had ensued, except that he had indulged in strong expressions towards many of the doctrines taught in Bedford. On Sunday afternoon last, however, he directed his fulminations more particularly at the Church, and the vehement manner in which his addresses were given and the vigour with which his congregation sang the hymns very seriously inter fered with the comfort of the clergyman and con gregation assembled in St. Peter's Church close by; but in the evening the preacher became still more excited and more extravagant in his remarks. A vehement denunciation of the forms of the Church and a condemnation of the Book of Common Prayer were the chief topics of the evening's discourse, and as the churches and chapels emptied Mr. Jones's congregation enlarged ; and about 9 o'clock he gave a practical illustration to his discourse by snapping a lucifer match and then setting fire to a Prayer book, accompanying the act with an expressed wish that he could serve the Talmud, Koran, the Mass book, and some others in a similar manner. Some portions of the audience were shocked at this exhi bition of wild fanaticism, and expressed them selves strongly upon the matter. Others, not content with a remonstrance, closed in upon the preacher and his baptized neophytes and tried to remove them from the green to put an end to such scandalous proceedings. Others, again, car ing less, perhaps, for the interests of religion than for a spree, suggested that his own plan of baptism by immersion should be tried upon himself. A rush was then made to take him to the river, and a mcst disorderly rout took place. The mob seemed unde cided in its course, and some quietly disposed per sons advised that he should be allowed to retire. This suggestion was received with an indignant shout of " Baptize the fellow ; duck him." One person said Jones had a right to do as he pleased, and he immediately received a pummeling for his pains, and a sort of running scuffle took place. The crowd surged down Dame Alice-street, then back again towards St. Peter's, and a move was made down the High -street in the direction of the bridge. Some persons here interposed, and remarked that Sunday night was not a fitting time for such pro-i ceedings, and these persons were at once roughly assailed and thrust aside. Severalat him persons proceeded to " bonnet" Jones , to spitto "punch his head." and some bestowed their attentionskick his on nhis shins, " hat. A. few while of his disciples came in for a s hare of these manif es . tations of the popular mind. At, this mo men t a detachment of the came up ; they took Mini ster Jones under th eir protcciion, and conveyed him to the police office, where he remained unt i l the crowd had dispersed. He then retired to some friend's house for the night. We understand that the whole subject is under inquiry. The exaspe ration of the public against this and other indigni ties offered to the Church in Bedford is very great, but it is not yet announced what steps will be taken to prevent a recurrence of the last outrage.—Bed ford Times.

The Governor of Louisiana has issued an address to the people on Butler's proclamation concerning the women in New Orleans. He says :—" It is the jewel or your hearthF, the chastity of the women you love, to guard. Let that thought animate your breasts, nerve sour arms, quicken your ener gies, and inspire your resolution. Strike home to the heart of your foe the blow that rids your country of his presence. If needs be let his blood moisten your own grave. It will rise up befcre your chil dren as a perpetual memento of race, whom it will teach to hate now and evermore." A court of inquiry held at Richmond reported that the destruction of the Merrimac was unneces sary at the time and pace it was effected. A Washington despatch says that the British Post-office has withdraws its original proposition made in 1857, and formally accepted by Postmaster Blair in November last, for a reduced rate of inter national letter postage trom 25 to 12 cents. between the two countries. The United States Post-office department did not antic:pate this withdrawal, after the subject was favourably reopened by the present Postmaster-General, and upon the British basis. This result will be very much regretted by the com mercial and social correspondents in both countries. The following additional despatches are published in the New York papers OFFICIAL WAR GAZETTE. " ORDERS RELIEVING GENERAL FREMONT FROM COMMAND < " War Department, Washington, June 27. " Major-General John C. Fremont having re quested to be relieved from the command of the first army corps, of the army of Virginia, because, as he says, the position assigned him, by the appointment of Major-General Pope as Commander-in-Chief of the army of Virginia, is subordinate and inferior to those heretofore held by him, and to remain in the subordinate command now assigned, would, as he says, largely reduce his rank and consideration in the service. It is ordered that Major-General John C. Fremont be relieved from command; second— that Brigadier-General Rufus King be, and is hereby assigned to the command of the first army corps of the army of Virginia, in place of General Fremont, relieved.—By order of the President, 4 ' EDWIN M. STANTON, SeC. of War." In the Senate yesterday it was resolved, if not incompatible with the public interest, to print the report of Joseph Hall and Robert Dale Owen on frauds upon the Government. The bill to prevent members of Congress and Government officers from taking consideration for procuring contracts, office, or place under the Government, was amended so as to apply to those who for any reward, compensa tion, or consideration give any contract, office, or place, and then passed. In the House, the bill providing indemnity to loyal citizens for losses and damages to property through United States troops was discussed during the morning hour. A bill was reported relating to the trust funds of the Indian tribes, invested by the Government in the State Bonds abstracted from the Interior Department. The bill provides that the Government shall credit the Indians with the amount originally invested for them in the bonds and the payment of the interest hereafter at the rate of 5 per cent. The House then went into com mittee of the whole on the Tariff Bill, and several amendments were made. An order was made for the arrest of a certain Murphy of New York, a re pudiating witness in the case of Ben. Wood.

" 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. Byhis 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."—Aedical Circular.

The New York papers publish the following account of the battle before Charleston:— " The United States transport Ericsson, Captai❑ Lowber, from Tortugas, 16th inst., Key West 18th, and Port Royal 23d, arrived here yesterday morn ing. She brings a large mat' from all the above places, and has 181 passengers, among whom is General Benham and staff. She has also on board 57 wounded soldiers, who were wounded in the late engagement on James Island, S.C. They are in charge of Surgeons Craven and Scholl. " She brought from Key West four companies of the 40th New York State Volunteers and landed them at Port Royal ; also the 7th New Hampshire and four companies Ist United States Artillery, regulars. " The United States troops under General Ben ham made an attack on the morning of June 16, at four o'clock, and were repulsed after four hours' hard fighting, with the loss of 668 men killed, wounded, and missing. The Michigan Bth had but 250 men left at roll call. The New York 79th suffered severely. The Union troops were obliged to retreat under cover of the gunboats. " General Benham arrived on board the Ericsson under arrest, and is ordered to report himself at Washington. It is said in some quarters that this is incorrect, and that he received orders from the adjutant-general four days before the battle to re turn to Washington in the next steamer. He left yesterday afternoon for Southport, Connecticut, where his wife is staying. " The Ericsson brings a large mail from 1 he vari ous points she touched at. " General Brannan, from Key West, was expected to arrive at Port Royal daily. " Colonel Perry, of the 40th Regiment, of Brook lyn, died at Fort Pulaski, June 18, of apoplexy. " The United States ship San Jacinto was at Key West, all well. " The accounts of the fight at James Island, as copied from Southern papers, were correct. " The forces under Major-Generals Fremont, Banks, and M•Dowell have been consolidated into one army, called The Army of Virginia,' and Major General Pope hxs been especially assigned by the President to the chief command. The forces under General Fremont constitute the first army corps, to be commanded by General Fremont. The forces under General Fremont constitute the second army corps, and are to be commanded by him. The forces under General M‘Dowell constitute the third army corps, and are to be commanded by him. " M'Call's division, 10,000 strong, which formed a part of M'Dowell's corps, has reached M'Clellan by water, and another division is to follow imme diately in the same way, while General Pope will also operate against the enemy at Richmond. Be sides M'Call's division, M'Clellan has received other reinforcements, to the amount of several thousand, since the battle of Fair Oaks. " A despatch dated City Point, Virginia, June 26, says : The Confederate general, Longstreet, has issued a flaming address to his troops on Monday, in view of the great conflict imminent, inciting them to new deeds of heroism, and advising them to aim low and make sure of the mark. The official lists of the rebel losses at the battle of Fair Oaks have been published. Eighty-five regi ments and battalions in all were engaged, sus taining a loss of killed, wounded, and missing of 6,897.' " A despatch from Chatanooga says the Fede rals have stampeded from that place, leaving their camps and everything behind." The following particulars of the late Federal advance on Richmond are published in the New York papers :—. " M'Clellan's Head-quarters, Wednesday, June 25 (Evening). " Gen. Hooker, at nine o'clock this morning, advanced his division, with the view of occupy ing a new position. The result was that his troops met with a most determined resistance from the enemy, which lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon : but the rebels were forced to give way before the invincible courage of our men. " During the day everything indicated a gene ral engagement, but the enemy, for some reason or other, backed out of it. The troops all fought as gallantly as ever. The loss on our side will be about 200 killed and wounded. The loss of the enemy is not known, but it is believed to be equal to our own. " The camp of the rebels in front of Gec. Hooker was captured, and is now occupied by his troops. The ground fought for was a swamp, with thick underbrush, beyond which is open country. The woods intervening between our troops and the enemy prevented the result of our artillery firing being known. 'lwo Napoleon 12-pounders , under Captain de Russy, succeeded in getting through the swamp during the afternoon, and did excellent service. An effort of the enemy to ca p ture them resulted in the enemy being driven back with severe loss.

The Union meeting in Memphis was attended by about 200 Citizens. A full ticket of Union men was nominated for city offices. General Beauregal d publishes a letter in the Mobile News, of June 19, denying emphatically the capture by General Pope of 10,000 prisoners, as telegraphed by General Halleck. He says that 100 or 200 stragglers would covet all the prisoners he took, and about 500 damaged muskets; He also says that all the Confederates lost at Corinth during the retreat will not amount to one day's expense of the enemy's army.

The building was better attended yesterday than it has been any day this week. The total number admitted up to five o'clock was 66,213, of which 57,738 were by shilling payments, and 8,475 by season tickets. One great source of the attraction was evidently the two bands sent by the Emperor of the French. That of the Zouaves played under the Western Dome, and that of the Gendarmerie under the Eastern. Celebrated as these bands are, their performances surpassed even eovfenthewihnasttr‘uvinasenetxs, ex pected of them.

The distribu tion of the awards 'will commence between 1 and half- past 1, and will occupy in all about two hours. As the procassion traverses the Horticultural Gar dens and every part of the Exhibition, no one place is better than another either inside or outside the building. Visitors in the gardens will see as well as those in the nave, and vice versa. Of course, none will be able to see everything, except the Royal and International visitors who actually assign the rewards—but as the ceremony of giving the medals is most formal and meagre, and will only be re peated over and over again at the different stations, there is not a great deal to regret on this score. If the weather is bad, the procession will pass from the Horticultural Gardens, under the arcades, into the Eastern Annexe. If fine, along the gravelled walk outside the arcades—so that with this trifling deviation in the programme, the whole affair is comparatively independent of the present most clement season, After the awards have been made, ax hibitors will be permitted to affix the decision of the jurors to their cases.
