ronziG TER XONIGSMG ACCIDLIT:, The details have now been furnished of the frightful calamity which occurred at Konigsberg on the occasion of the recent festivities. A wooden bridge crosses the Schloss teich, or lake, and this formed a good place of observation for those who wished to see the fireworks going on in the surrounding gardens. The police had great difficulty in preventing the public from overcrowding the bridge. A,ll.at once, a cry was raised that the bridge was on fire, and in the pressure that took place the railing gave way, and some hundreds of people wore precipitated into the water. The scene that ensued was most distressing; the rejoicings were brought to a standstill, and the greatest terror Travailed. The King and the Crown Prince went to the spot to render assistance, but HAL could be done. Up to this time some forty-three corpses have bean recovered, and it is believed that more may yet be found. PILICIC.... W STAMPSD 14. - DA US LESS 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. 11. L. Mosely, is recommended by the Hospitals and adopted by the profession as one of the greatest improve ments of the ago for the alleviation of pam 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 graranteed. 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. Consultation free.—Only address, 312, Regent-street, exactly facing the Royal Polytechnic. THE 'MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN ITALY, News from Italy states that the Ministerial crisis in Florence has somewhat subsided, as the rale of the Church property has provided for the expenses of the next six imonths. Tho Ministry, it is said, have resolved upon meeting the Chamber, as there would bo great difficulty in forming a Cabinet when the House is not sitting. It is rumoured that Itattazzi will bo recalled to office imme diately after tho meeting of Parliament, which will be opened by the King about the middle of October. TILE (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the next bonus valuation will take place at the and 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 tho establishment of a Firo 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.

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 Lifo 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 be absolutbly Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallongeable. 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 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 ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording 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 Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by more 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 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 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 ‘re held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under those tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unehallengeable 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 buginess of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary.

PAST 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 Trea surer, E.S. Norris, Esq., Shadwell ; or by SHERRRD B.

Nothing certain is yet known at Rome respecting the participation of the secular Powers in tho (Ecumenical Council. No preparations have been made for any diplo matic representatives, as, until France has taken the initi ative, the other Powers hold back. The commissions ap pointed by the Pope to make preparations for the Council have, it is said, finished their work. They have prepared the resolutions and arguments, as it is intended to confirm the discussions to certain subjects. The Freemasons' lodges in Berlin, Italy, and France have all convoked counter-meetings and congresses, and a congress of Free thinkers has been summoned by Signor Ricciardi to meet in Naples in December. A large order for red shirts is being executed in Sicily, and this is believed in some quarters to indicate that an outbreak of the Republicans will occur during the sitting of the Council. INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS AT BASLE. The International Working Men's Congress at Basle devoted a short time to the discussion of the trades union question. The Congress declared that th 3 international character of labour and capital required an international organisation of the trades unions. It was afterwards ex- plained that a double organisation would be necessary ; first, all the trades of a country ought to be nationally organised among themselves, and the various Organisations ought to be combined internationally. M. Durrant, a Paris jeweller, said that they must not; attach too much importance to trades unions, and they would do better to embark in co-ope rative production than saving money for strikes. M. ilins, of Brussels, declared that trades unions represented the social and political organisation of the future. Mr. Cameron, of Chicago, delivered a speech, which was trans lated into French and German, and was very well received. The President, in reply, expressed a hope that a European delegate might return the compliment next year at Cin cinnati, and observed that anything which seriously affected the working-class movement in either hemisphere must necessarily react upon the other. INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION AT BOULOGN An association for the advancement of the working classes I.a; just presided over an industrial exhibition at Boulogne. As the entries were limited to the particular department of which Boulogne is a leading town, the works exhibited were not numerous, ncr were the speci mens of a kind that would allow of fair compoison with English labour, except in one or two subjects. This was the first attempt, and was necessarily on a small scale, but in future years it is highly proLablo that the scheme thus initiated will be more fully developed. THE FRANKFORT SWISS. Tho Cologne Gazette says it is stranga that the Bund should expect the Swi ;s Government to we its influence with the Prussian Ministry in defence of such systema•tic rogu'ry as that practised by thn Frankfort Swiss. The pit Iciples of the Federal Constitution, which entail a long residence on: the naturalised subject, cannot be reconciled with the practice of naturalising minors whose parents aro Prussian subjects. ECONOMY OP MILITARY EXPE!sTDITITPE A special meeting of members of the International Statistical Congress has been held at the Hague, to hear an address from Mr. Edwin Chadwick on the means of economising war expenditure. Mr. Newmarch, presiden' of the Statistical Society of London, took the chair. Mr. Chadwick began his address by commenting upon the vast burthenwhichvaeighed upon Europe in the annual expendi ture of 280 millions sterling, for the MR intenan ce of more than three million of nun under arms in unproductive, and frequently in demoralising conditions. Mr. Chadwick then suggested that an important mean; of economising this expenditure woul 1 be found in the introduction of mili tary and naval exercises into public schools. We can, ha asserts, import a complete military and also a naval drill to 130 boys at the expense of keeping and drilling ono adult. So far from this preparatory military training proving disadvantageous to the boys in civil pursuits, it is found to be directly beneficial. The project is being debated in Canada and the United States, and it has recently been decided that military exercises shall form part of the training in all the French Lycees. When boys who have received this preparatory training enlist, they are generally accepted as having been in the ranks before, and by this means Mr. Chadwick thinks the expenses of cu • military system might be very much diminished. His views were favourably received by the members of the Congress, many of whom brought forward additional evi dence in support of them. CHILI. The Chili= Government and Congress are busy with projects of internal improvement. Congress has empowered the President to negotiate a loan for 4,000,000 dollars for the construction of the Chilian Talcalmano Railway. Another line of railway is in contemplation between Llaillai and San Felipe. The Home Minister has written a note to the prefect of the province suggesting that the owners of the land through which the line is to pass should cede what is required so as to save the State expense. Durable bridges are to be constructed across the rivers in the Southern districts, where the traffic is often interrupted is winter time by the storms. A postal convention and an extradition treaty have been agreed upon with the Argentine Republic. The Archbishop of Santiago, and the three Bishops of the Chilian Republic, have resolved upon attending the (Ecumenical Council, and the Senate has voted 20,000 dollars for their expenses. The Government proposes to remove the Chilian Legation from London to Paris, and to suppress the Paris Consulate. This is in acknowledgment of the French rmperor's appointment of a Minister Plenipotentiary to Chili, as he has done to Peru. Great indignation is expressed at the short-sighted policy of the British Govern tent in neglecting to improve its relations with these two Republics, which are both growing in commercial impor 'ance. The French Emperor is said to be " wiling away his sick hours" in finishing his "Life of Caesar." The Most Rev. Michael Kieran, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Armagh, and Primate of Ireland, died yesterday morning. A quarrier, named Campbell, has been apprehended on a charge of being concerned in the recent destruction of the Duko of Athole's " Hermitage" by gunpowder. At the Birmingham Public-offices, on Wednesday, a woman carrying on the business of a retail brewer was fined £5O for mixing liquorice with the wort for making boor. At Longton, in Staffordshire, two men, named Jeffreys and Riley, were on Wednesday each fined £2OO for having in their possession stills for the manufacture of whisky. The inquest on the man M'Grath, who was mur dered at Cashel on Saturday last, was held on Wednesday, and a verdict of " Wilful Mulder " returned against some person or persona unknown. The Record states that the Rev. E. Husband, late curate of Atherstone, Warwickshire, well known as a Ritualist, has been received into the Church of Rome by Father Newman, at Birmingham. _ _ Yesterday morning, at about three o'clock, the up Scotch mail train on the London and North-Western Railway on approaching Bliswortlt ran into a goods train with fearful violence. The engine of the mail train was srri usly damaged, and the driver and stoker were much injured. The passengers were a good deal shaken, but we have not as yet beard of any fatal results. The train did not arrive at Euston until nearly four hours after its usual Fifty pounds a side are down for the race between Joe Sadler, of Putney, and Walter Brown, the American champion. Sadler is up country, while Brown is out daily with his trainer, Harry Kelley, and continues to take exercise in his paper boat, weighing 221 b., outriggers included. It is said he will abandon his own craft for an English wager boat by Jewitt, of Dunston. Betting is two to uno on Sadler. The race comes off on October 7 over the champion course.
