THE LATE EX-PRESIDENT PIERCE. (From tic Anfilo-Amtricrui Tinza.) 'We pro.nised last week to give a sketch of the career of Franklin Pierce, fourteenth President of the United States, who died at his home in Con cord, New Hampshire, on the morning of October 8. His father, General Benjamin Pierce, was one of the oldest inhabitants of Hillsborough, New Hamp shire, where Franklin was born, November 23rd, Mg, being the sixth of eight children. General Pierce was a Democrat, and was elected to the State Legislature in 1789, holding the position fur 13 consecutiveyears,being then chosen Governor in 1827 and 1829, dying in his 81st year in 1839. Frank lin attended the academies of Hancock and Frances town, and at the age of 16 entered Bowdoin College, At Brunswick, Maine, where he is described to have been a careful scholar, merry, and popular with the students. During one winter vacation he taught a country school. Ile chose law as a pro fession, and entered the office of Judge Woodbury, at Portsmouth. He spent two years in the Law School, at Northampton, Massachusetts, and in the office of Judge Parker at Amherst, being then admitted to the bar. In 1829 he was elected to the ~'~; I' lieli, 4d S7AMPED bd. 13A11\ 14ESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY, by Mr. B. L. MOSELY, the Dentist by special appoint ment, 312, REGENT-STREET, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic. Established 1820. This, the most perfected system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by Mr. B. L. Mosoly, 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 gearanteed.

In 1833 he was elected to Congress, where he remained four years, during which he advocated the measures proposed by President Jackson, op posed the Military Academy at West Point, and sided with the l ro-Slavery party. He took his seat in the Senate in 1837, during Mr. Van Buren's Ad ministration, being the youngest member, and be came a hard worker on committees. He relinquished the post in 1842,when he removedtoConcord. Hehad married in 1834 a daughter of the Rev. Dr. Apple ton; and finding a family growing up around him, with very little provision, be directed his attention to his profession, and found a very remunerative practice awaiting him.

They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve tenth that are loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication.

The nursing at King's College and the Charing-cross Hospitals, and the Galignani English Hospital at Paris, is at present superintended by the Sisters of John's House. _ _ _ Ladies or others wishing to qualify themselves as members of the House or Sisterhood, or as pupils to bo trained to nurse, are requested to communicate with the Lady Superior. Donations and Subscriptions to the General Fund, the Sisters' Fund, or the Nurses' Pension Fund, may be paid to Messrs. Coutts ; or to the Lady Superior, at St. John's House Norfolk-street, Strand, W.C. The total of premiums received is .£371,548 12s. ld., of which sum £13,560 ss. ld. is for new assurances effected in the year. The interest from investments is £120,959 12s. 10d., or £4 2s. per cent. on the net amount of the company's realised assets existing in June, 180 ; and in connection with This important feature of the company's affairs the directors have the satisfaction of reporting that the profit and loss account again exhibits a considerable profit, amounting this year within a trifle to the sum of £48,000. It may be remembered that, a profit of nearly equal amount was announced in last year's report. Turning to the items constituting the charge of the fear, it will be noticed that the sum payable in satisfac tion of claims on decease of lives assured is larger than usual. - This ctreurmtanues-lanwever, id not very material; I , as was observed o a previous occasion, the proper quin luennial average is generally pretty sure to obtain, and the fact ant the average for the past two years barely ex eeeda X30',000 tends to confirm that statement. The expenses of management are greater by nearly £BOO than they were last year. They would have been materially less but for the unavoidable cost of transferring the compan3's securities into the names of additional trus tees. Taken as they are, however, these expenses must be regarded as very moderate. It will be observed that they are.only three per cent. of the total income. BALANCE-SHEET, JUNE 30, 1869. DR.

He likewise refused a nomination for Governor of his State, and took no part in public affairs from 1842-7. Mr. Pierce had told President Polk that nothing but the voice of his country in time of war would draw him from his seclusion, and when the Mexican war broke out in 1847 he en rolled the first volunteer regiment raised in Concord and received the colonelcy of the 9th regiment. In March he was commissioned a Brigadier-General, his brigade consis!ing of regiments in the extreme North, South, and West. He sailed, May 27, in the bark Kehler, arriving at Vera Cruz one month later, joining General Scott at Puebla on the 7th August. Iu the battle of Contreras he was severely injured by the falling of his horse, but remained with his brigade during the day. He was also pre-: sent at Cherubusco, and after the battle wai ap pointed by General Scott one of the commissioners to arrange an armistice. He remained in Mexico throughout thewar, but at its close resigned his com mission and returned to the practice of his profes sion as a lawyer. In 1850 he was chosen President of the Convention called to revise the State Con stitution, and he has the honour of having pro cured the removal of the tests by which Catholics were excluded from certain offices. In the Balti more Convention of 1852, after 35 ballotings for candidate for the Presidency, in which he had not received a vote, his name was brought forward by the Virginia delegation, and he was nominated on the 49th ballot by a majority of 271. Ile received in the following November the votes of all the States except Massachusetts, Vermps4, Kentucky, and Tennessee, gaining 254 votes of the Electoral Col lege, while Gen. Scott got but 42. In his inaugural address he maintained that slavery was fully re cognized in the Constitution, and that the Fugitive Slave Law was constitutional, and should be strictly executed. lie appointed as his Cabinet William L. Marcy, Secretary of State; James Guthrie, Secre tary of the Treasury ; Jefferson Davis, Secretary of War ; Jas. C. Dobbin, Secretary of rho Navy ; ltobt. M'Clelland, Secretary of the Interior; Jas. Campbell of Pennsylvania, Postmaster-General, and Caleb Cushing, Attorney-General. The prin cipal events of his Administration were the question of the boundary of the Mesillo Valley, now Ari rona ; exploring routes for the proposed railroad from the Mississippi to the Pacific ; the affair of Martin Coszta ; the repeal of the Missouri Com promise ; the famous Ostend Conference ; the treaty of 1854 between the United States and Great Britain, providing for commercial reci procity between the United States and the Bri tish Provinces ; the filibuster invasion of Nica ragua by William Walker ; the dismissal of the British Minister and Consuls in 1855 for sanc tioning the enlistment of recruits for the Bri tish army, and the Kansas troubles. President Pierce signed bills to reorganise the consular and diplomatic system of the United States ; to orga nise court claims ; to provide a retired list for the Navy, and to confer the title of Lieutenant-General on Winfield Scott. He vetoed, in 1856, a bill mak ing appropriations for the completion and reform of certain public works, and a bill appropriating 10,000,000 acres of public lands to the States for the relief of the indigent insane; in 1855, he vetoed a bill for the payment of the French spoliation claims, and a bill increasing the annual appropria tion for the Collins' line of steamers. Before the adjournment of Congress in August, 1856, the House amended the Army Appropriation Bill so as to provide that no part of the army should be em ployed to enforce laws passed by the Territorial Legislature of Kansas until Congress should have decided it to be a valid legislative body. The Senate refused to concur in the amendment, and Congress then adjourned. The President immediately issued a proclamation, calling an extra session of Congress to convene on Aug. 21, when the bill was passed without any proviso. Congress came together again in December. The President's Message was chiefly devoted to the Kansas troubles, taking strong grounds against theFree-State party. Misadministra tion ended March 4, 1857. He lived latterly in great retirement. The death of his last son, killed on a railroad in 1853, followed by the loss of his wife and his intimate friend Hawthorne, saddened his last days. He was seriously ill last summer, and his recovery was not expected, but he rallied till the last attack of inflammation of the stomach, attended with dropsical effusion. The official announcement of his death was as follows : "Washington, Oct. 8. "The painful duty devolves upon the President of an nouncing to the people of the United States the death of one of his honoured predecessors, Franklin Pierce, which occurred at Concord early this morning. Eminent in the public councils and universally beloved in private life, his death will be mourned with a sorrow befitting the loss which this country sustains by his decease. As a mark of respect to his memory, it is ordered that the Executive Mansion and the Departments at Washington be draped in mourning, and all business suspended on the day of the funeral. It is further ordered that the War and Navy Departments cause suitable military and naval honours to be paid on this occasion to the memory of the illustrious citizen who has passed from among us.
