MOSTLY, the Dentist by special appoint ment, 312, B EGEN T- STREET, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic. Established 1820. This, the most perfected system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by Mr. 13. L. Mosely, is recommended 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 tooth 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 gnaranteed. The "Times" of March 6 says :—"So good an imitation becomes the next best thing to the original." Teeth from 55.; sets, 5 to 30 guineas.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN ,onvnur Dr. m TTN CONDIT lON AL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by tba_ PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, Donau., E.G. Established 1848. _ _ . Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's. 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 thorn which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; no 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 same 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 premium 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 ng 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 Oompany 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 Life 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 issued on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaeing, 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 class 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 are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year. Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary.

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same. The directors also draw attention to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary.

Applications for terms, the course of instruction, and all other particulars : to be made to W. VAN PRA AGIT, Esq., . _ Director of the Jews' Deaf and Dumb Home, 44, Burton-crescent, W.C. VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN. The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want of room for stowage, every inch of available space being occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children, but no more can be admitted in the present building. £B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished for and urgent scheme. Contributions will be thankfully received by the Tree surer,lE.S4,Norris, Esq., Shadwell ; or by SHERRARD B.

We quote from the " Gazette du Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21,1866. - The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly."

A number of serpents-de-ville were outside the hall, and a strong detachment of the Municipal, Guards was in the neighbourhood. Fortunately there was no occasion for the display of force. The meeting, which numbered 8,000 persons, was very quiet in its demeanour. M. Lissagaray, the president, felicitated those present on their admirable conduct in thus holding the laws in respect. While the industrial interests in the North-east, the North, and the West, are joining together to denounce the Treaty of Commerce, the Lyonnese, uniting with the Southern provinces, has organised the resistance of the sill manufacturing districts. They are indignant at the pre tensions of those manufacturers who seek to impose their views on the Government, and to sacrifice to their interests the not less important interests of the Southern culti vators. I hear there will be a strike of the drivers of fiacres and omnibuses, as well as of the employis of the magazine de nouveautes, on the 26th of the month. Victor Hugo has written to the Sidcle denying that he is a contributor to the Rappel, and also that he either has counselled or does counsel any popular demonstration on. the 26th. He highly approves of the suggestion made by the Rappel, that the Left should organise a pacific and unarmed demonstration in which all Paris could participate; but if the Left abstain from doing so the people must abstain too. Right is on the side of the people, might on the side of the authorities. The people then should not give any pretext for the use of force. The great result of the crisis must be, in the estimation of M. Hugo, the abolition of the oath, and he looks to the Left for a solemn declaration to secure this " moral and revolutionary issue." These two not very homogeneous adjectives are used, the writer tells us, designedly. The day he advises an outbreak he will be on the spot to take part in it, but at the present moment he advises nothing of the sort. Jules Favre has answered the appeal of M. Desseaux through the columns of the if venir 21rational. He has, he says, too much oonfidence in the good sense and patriotism of the Parisian democracy to fear that it would fall into the trap which awaited it. For his own part he, like his friends, is firmly resolved neither to recede a step in the endeavour to obtain a complete restitution of public liberty, nor to com promise the cause by inexcusable temerity. You will thus perceive that all influential men take a view of the situa tion which is more English than French. I hear that the relative strength of parties in the Cham bers is estimated in official circles as follows :—Tho Left, 50; the old majority, 12(3; and the tiers parti, 116. The members yet to be elected will, it is thought, join the Left. If the present Ministry retains office, MM. do Chasseloup Laubat, de Forcade, Magic, and Bourbeau will represent the Cabinet in the Corps Legislatif. There was a meeting last night at M. Jules Simon's at which all the members of the Left now in Paris were present. It was resolved, after a unanimous decision against any demonstration whatever on the 26th, that a manifesto should be drawn up, setting forth the reasons which induced tho deputies of the Left to entreat the citizens to give the Government no occasion for a display of force and a return to the Constitution of 1852. They undertake for their part to question the Government on the 29th of November, respecting the infraction of the new Constitu tion Tho Libertd, in alluding to the rumours of the ap proaching Ministerial changes of which I have already spoken, doubts whether the present Cabinet will hold together even till the redoubtable 26th of October. M. de Girardin, in his capacity of president of the syn dicate of the Parisian press, has received anofficial commu nication, stating that places for thirty-five journalists will 48 reserved in the Senate. TER REPrBLICAN OUTBUE&X IN SPAM. The Republican insurrection seems to bo decreasing. Important bands have surrendered themselves; but at Valencia the insurgents still held possession of.the town up to Thursday. They have fortified themselves with numerous barricades, which are the more easily formed from the narrowness of the streets, and are difficult to remove. The most important point to notice in the in telligence is the strict discipline whichismaintained in the army. Neither soldiers nor officers have passed over to the ranks of the rebels. Such an occurrence is rare in Spain, and affords reason to believe that so long 41.0 snombora of the Government remain united and, rest on the moral authority of the Constitution, they will continue masters of the situation. The discussion on the expulsion of the Republican deputies has been adjourned in the Cortes. At present little is thought of but the reduction of Valencia, and the numerous reinforcements that are sent there shew that its accomplishment will be . no easy task. The importance which the insurrectionary movement has assumed may be seen by the figures given in the Official Gazette. In the province of Catalonia alone 6,000 insurgents have laid down their arms. The Government have some reason to fear that Madrid may be disturbed by the popular movement, but they believe themselves secure in the fidelity of the 10,000 troops at their disposal. PRUSSIA AND GENERAL FLEURY. The Libered announces that the Prussian Cabinet is so much troubled by the intended departure of General Fleury for St. Petersburg that it has instructed its Charg6 d'Affaires at Paris to ask an explanation from M. do b' Tour d'Auvergne. M. Benedetti will have the task of giving a verbal reply to the Prnssian demand. PRUSSIAN FINANCES. The Prussian Chambers strongly disapprove of the Ministerial financial policy. The Upper House has by a formal vote declared the intended loan to be prejudicial to the interests of the Empire. The Chamber of Deputies has passed a resolution deciding that questions of this nature should not be matters of arbitrary administration. The Ministers perceiving that it would be imprudent to press the Chambers en the point, are, it is said, inclined to yield. The Chamber of Deputies will not, it is thought, consent to the additional imposts and will suggest that instead of burdening the people with fresh taxes, mecum) should he had to the State treasure of thirty million Widen, which is kept in reserve in case of war. The position of the Ministry is insecure, as both Liberals and Conservatives unite in opposing it on irhe question of the loan. AUSTItTAX REFORMS. The question of electoral reform is being actively dis cussed in Austria. The Government is anxious to remove the difficulties which arise from the divers Diets of the Empire, and intends to propose a very liberal measure, with the view of satisfying the different nationalities. Some of these, however, desire a complete autonomy. The North-East Correspondence, while confirming the impres sion of the liberality of the Government, adds that it will not go beyond the limits of the existing Constitu tion, which it wishes to be considered the base of all reforms. The Government desires to establish a system of direct elections as the only means of obtaining a really national represontation,but it does not wish for centralism _tion, and considers that the kcal Diets should be com pensated for the loss of their tight to elect Deputies to the Reichsrath by other autonomic concessions. The Corres pondence believes that the conntffe is on the eve of new reforms, but that they will be sTictly constitutional and by their means a crisis may be avoided. MEXICO. The Mexican Congress was opened on the 16th of Sep tember, the anniversary of the independence of the Republic, by President Juarez in person. In his address he felici tated the members of Congress on being able for the first gra° since 1859 to celebrate their anniversary in the midst .4 general tranquillity. The laws were, he said, every where respected, and the Government was strong enough to repress disturbances for the future. After the cere mony Juarez proceeded to Puebla, accompanied by his Ministers, and Mr. Nelson, the American representative, to inaugurate the new railway between Puebla and Mexico Two or three thousand persons were present. A banquet was given, at which the American Minister spoke strongly in favour of maintaining an entente cordiale between the States and Mexico. The last census showed the popula tion of Mexico to be 6,5137,0 W• persons.
