The dispute between the naive of Egpyt and hfs liege lord, the Sultan, has been tided over for the present. The Turkish Grand Vizier has written a conciliatory despatch, and the Khedive has sent a satisfactory reply. The Constitutionnel says that for the future business is to go on in the most amicable manner. Invitations to the opening of the Suez Canal will be sent to the European sovereigns in the joint names of the Egyptian and Turkish rulers, the Khedive to do the honours of the ciremonv.

Established 1841 PAIMJESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY, by Mr. B. L. MOSE LY, the Dentist by special appoint ment, 012, EEGENT- STREET, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic. Established 1320. This, the most perfected system of pitiless dentistry, originated and invented by Mr. B. L. Mosely, is r commended by the Hospitals and adopted by the profession as one of the greatest improve ments of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration of the natural functions, can solely be obtained in such perfected success (the result of forty years' practical ex perience) at his only residence, 312, Regent -street. The superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity from pain, no operations, stumps, and decayed teeth ren dered useful, loose teeth and tender gums protected. Qualities: These teeth never change colour or decay—in fit unerring—ease and comfort unsurpassed—detection impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied and youthful appearance restored—mastication and articulation guaranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says :—" S o good an imitation becomes the next best thing to the original." Teeth from 55.; sets, 5 to 30 guineas. Consultation free.—Only address, 312, Regent-streyt, exactly facing the Royal Polytechnic. The bickerings of the two great German States may uot be such as to inspire alum ; but they are calculated to give increasing disqpiet and annoyance. Since the war of 186 G, Austria has professed to retire from active interest in German affairs, and to abandon - the supreme control to Prussia ; but this peaceful theory has not been carried out in practice. The Austrian Chancellor, Baron Beust, has never failed to embrace any opportunity that might offer of making a bitter speech or publishing an unwelcome dis closure touching Prussia. So lung as Count Bismarck was at the head of the Prussian Foreign Office little notice was taken of these assaults, diatribs, and inuendoes ; and the battle languished, as one-sided fights do, and would have died out altogether had not the Prussian papers kept it up by rancorously resenting the procedures of Count Beust. But Bismarck has gone to his country seat for the good of his health, and his foreign duties are discharged by Herr von Thule, who has in a very brief space written two notes respecting the relations between the two countries, the latter being couched in remarkably offen sive terms. The quarrel is now more vehement than ever. It is as yet a paper quarrel only ; but it is not a re assuring fact that the Austrian Ambassador at Berlin never has any communication with the Prussian states men. Where all this will end remains to be seen. It appears that we have not come to the end of it yet. A reply from Count Beust to the offensive despatch of Herr von Thile has just been published. The Austrian Chancellor offers to enter into a con ciliatory correspondence with the view of clearing up the misunderstanding between the two countries. Alluding to the fact that there had been no communication between the Austrian Ambassador at Berlin and Count Bismarck, Count Beust points out that the two were alternately absent from the Prussian capital from the spring of 1668 to the close of the year.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. Established 1848. The Directors.of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opinion defective ,or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall bo absolutely Unforleitable, Unconditional, 'and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n: ne event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe cially commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the Fame time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every pentium paid. bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to be paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. _ The assured will thus always have the option of retain ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t the duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Lifo Policies, as they can at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy 16sued on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this el is as security. may always know the utmost amount they May be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit.of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies Ire lull as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, ass consequence of the Policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uaeon ditional, they will also be uneliallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSITIZANCE COMPANY pos sesses an ineomo of .£215,000 a year_ Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any offico in tho Kingdom.

A warm discussion on the state of religious belief in Gqmany—prompted by the extraordinary incident in a Berlin church which we related a day or two ago—is going on in the columns of the 2'imes. Very high authorities have given testimony to the effect that the mass of the Germans are irreligious ; and evidence of scarcely less weight has been called to shew that things are not so bad as they seem. But the balance seems decidedly on the side of the unpleasant theory. There is a "sprinkling of faithful believers in every part of the country," following the Lutheran and other creeds ; but, on the other hand, the leaven of an extreme Rationalism has been widely spread among the people, and only a small fraction of the whole nation attend divine service. Sin SAMUEL RAKER'S EXPEDITION. The expedition under the command of Sir S. Baker for the purpostof putting an end to the slave trade on the White Nile is now nearly ready to start. Vast quantities of material are being sent off beforehand ; and it is expected that the magazines of stores at Khartoum, the town on the confluence of the two Nile branches, will be completed by the 30th of October. Every arrangement has been wade under the supervision of the eminent explorer, who has spared no pains to ensure success. The Khedive has given Lia consent to a plan for " utilising" the slaves who may be captured. A tract of fertile land on the banks of the river below Khartoum will be set apart for their reception, and to each a portion of the soil will be allotted, free of all taxes. The freed slaves will be registered and taue-ht the use of agricultural imple ments. Thus Sir Samuel seeks to establish a nucleus of civilisation in the centre of Africa. In fact, the explorer hopes to make Egypt a great •cotton country, for the plant is indigenous in the fertile regions below Khartoum. Ile is backed L•y an enterprising ruler, and it is not impos sible that these two may yet develop the great resources Of Egypt. SAD TALE FROM JAMAICA. Mr. Teal], a missionary at Morant Bay, sends a strango story to the Star touching the compensation paid to the sufferers by the disturbances of 1865. This gentleman complains that some of the worst rioters have bad their claims met, whilst peaceable people who sustained great injuries have been passed over without a penny. Tardily as this compensation has come, it has been grievously misapplied. The position is this : The Government ap pointed certain gentlemen to take into consideration the losses of those who suffered from the riots. At various times— the process being very slow— these claims were reviewed, and during the last few weeks -nn officer, - charged by the Government, has been distri buting the awards. lint many persons whose demands were made in due form to the appointed persons, and at the proper time, have found that their claims have been dropped without reason assigned or one word of explana tion given. Mr. Teall wrote to the Governor, and received a reply to the effect that only claimants for injury done by the troops, and not by the insurgents, and, moreover, only claimants who were not themselves implicated, would be recompensed. The missionary, however, says it is notorious that some of the worst rioter have been paid, and some of the most deserving of the injured persons have been neglected. The Governor is setting a premium on disaffection, MR. PEABODY AND TUE SOUTH. A few days ago the wealthy planters and political leaders of the Southern States—men who were formerly the ruling class in the slave country —gave an enthu• siastic ovation to Mr. Peabody, at White Sulphur Springs. At their head was Ex-Governor Wise, who has been, since the war, the most irreconcilable and impracticable of all extremists. Omens favourable to the prospect of complete reconciliation between the two divisions of the Republic are drawn from this event. " When Southerners of this stamp join with such ardour in rendering homage to the man who has opened the way for universal educa• tion throughout the South, we may accept it as an earnest of a complete moral revolution in that country, a sure pledge of not only civil reconstruction, but, what is infinitely better yet, of moral regenerations." THE CHINESE IN AMERICA. The Chinese, it seems, are not wedded to Paganism. The New York Times announces the gratifying fact that the attempts which have been made to convert to Chris tianity the Chinamen who have come over to California have met with remarkable success. The immigrants " learn to read our language rapidly and receive Christian ideas willingly. Their paganism sits on them lightly, and it seems more easy for them to throw it off than for any other pagans in the world." It is true that the Christian missions in the Celestial Land itself make no great progress. But this, says the Ameri can journal, is because the governing classes of the country oppose all religious changes. In America, the Chinese are free from such influence. This is well; but before the new•comers can be converted, they must be allowed to lire in peace. The United States workmen do not seem disposed to permit this. A labour convention recently held in a Western city gassed resolutions declaring that " the importation of Asiatics and their employment in the mines, or other fields of labour, must be discontinued, or it will bring on an irrepressible conflict likely to end in bloodshed and ruin." ATLANTIC CABLES. There has been some talk of an Atlantic cable for the Americans themselves—of course to be paid out from the United States to Europe ; but the Nation suggests a serious difficulty. The cables cannot be manufactured in the United States at such a price as to compete with those made in England. It is a significant comment on the condition to which American industry has been reduced by the Protective policy that a telegraphic cable to pay must be made in England. NAVAL AND MILI7ARY INTELLIGENCE. Yesterday morning the Royal Horse Guards, under the command of Colonel Williams (Colonel Bailie, the colonel of the regiment, being in Scot land), left Aldershott at half-past five o'clock, and marched to Windsor, on the termination of their encampment. The regiment arrived at the Wind sor Cavalry Barracks at half-past 11 o'clock yes terday morning. The wooden-cased iron ship Inconstant, Captain D'O. D'A.

ADVERTlSEMENT.i—liollowny's Pills.—Are admirably adopted for the cure of diseases incidental to females. A t different periods of life women are subject to complaints which require a peculiar medicine, and it is now an indis putable fact that there is none so suitable for such com plaints as Holloway's Pills. They are invaluable to females of all ages, young or old, married or single. They purify the blood, regulate the secretions, give tcno to the stomach, correct all suspended functions, and clear the complexion. The first approach of disordered action should be met with appropriate doses of these Pills. Whilst taking them no restriction need be placed over the patient. They contain nothing which can possibly prove injurious to the system. They act by purifying the blood and regulating every organ.
