FOREIGN NO-TtC FENIANS IN CANADA. The Canadian Government seems to be continually troubled by the Fenian bogey.: Every month or six weeks do we hear of military preparations for .the special benefit of the Brotherhood. The Government detectives have once more brought intelligence of renewed activity amongst the Fenians, and orders have accordingly been sent from head-quarters for the volunteers of all the provinces to be prepared for active service. The men have been directed to take their arms and accoutrements to their homes, and to hold themselves ready to move at a moment's notice. What is the preciSe cause for alarm does not appear. P 110 E fa 87AXPED sd. PAINLESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY, by Mr. B. L. MDSE LY, 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. 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 (tho 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 gcaranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says : —"So good an imitation becomes 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. SECRETARY FISH AND THE CUBANS, Secrc Lary Fish is said to have adopted a vacillating course towards the Cubans. When they. first addressed him on the question of their recognition as belligerents he said they must get a fixed place for their Government. When they complied with this demand he said that a capi tal was very well, bui they must then get a constitution. When the constitution was drawn up lie declared they must get possession of the perti of Cuba and build some ships. The Hornet or Cuba was. purchased and put to sea, with a view of complying with tho request, and Mr. Fish next complained that they were violating the neutrality laws. The Cubans begin to think that Mr. Fish will not recognise them until they have driven the Spaniards from the island, or at any rate they have great doubts as to his sin cerity in dealing with them.

Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, 13th August, 1869, WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RUE, ESQ., Deputy- Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. The Report which the directors have now to submit to the proprietor differs in its tenor but little save in one or two particular from that laid before them in 1868. the income of the year, it will be seen, amounts t £540,499 18s., and the total charge t., £145,077 10s. 9d The difference, £95,422 7s. 3d., added to the balance of the surplus fund at the commencement of the financial year, taised that item to £1,002,974 15s. 9d., its present amount.

Id., 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, 1868 ; 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 cobstituting the charge of the year, it will be noticed that tho sum payable in satisfac tion of claims on decease of lives assured is larger than usual. This circumstance, however, is not very material; as was observed oa a previous occasion, the proper quin quennial average is generally pretty sure to obtain, and the fact that the average for the past two years barely ex ceeds £309,000 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 compan)'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.

BURNABY, Hon Soc., Rectory Wapping E BOOKS IN THE FAR WEST, The New York Tribune gives a long account of the book trade in Chicago, and boasts that the city's wholesale trada in literature fairly rivals her trade in breadstuffs. The literary tastes of the citizens, who are described as " ravenous readers," have been of very rapid growth. In 1852 there was a single periodical depot in Chicago, doing abusiness of 2,000 dols. per annum. Some years later an enter prising lad began to sell morning papers at the street corners. He is now the principal stockholder of the Western News Company, which employs fifty men and boys, and distributes annually 1,000,000 dela. worth of current literature through the North West. Many thousands of the weekly and monthly publications are circulated by this agency. The general book trade of . Chicago began in 1845 with the establishment of the branch of a New York house. Messrs. Griggs were among the pioneers and were very proud when their annual Bales reached 25,000 dohs. When they first took 1,000 copies of the " Sanders' Speller " for a winter stock they thought they were doing an enormous business. Their annual trade is now 800,000 dols., and they think it a dull year in which they do not sell 100,000 copies of the Speller. There are two very curious features in this remote book trade. One is that there is r;,tri;Cater demand for fine bindings, for calf and moroccotsclitions, than in any other book market in thnworlcl, I rhe other singular thing is the special demand for all rare and choice books. These are treasures of pictorial and mediaeval art from old missals on vellum to Dor6's Bible, from black letter to chromo-lithography, and the enterprising citizens of Chicago are quite ready to pay their full value for _such works. A folio volume of engravings from Turner was marked at 250 dols.; three folio volumes of the " Galerie du Palais Pitti" were 350 dols.; while a large illustrated edition of Irving's "Washington" was charged at no less than 1,500 dole. School-books and dictionaries are also popular, and the Bible Societies are in full work. Altogether the book trade of Chicago is 'valued at 3,000,000 dols. yearly. The private libraries in the city are also very valuable. Mr. Rice is believed to have the best, as his includes many early American imprints published before a printing press was established in Boston. Another citizen, Mr. Assay, has a special fancy for old English literature, and owns a copy of the first edition of " Paradise Lost," as well as Caxton's " Wynken-de-Wordes," and other literary trea sure s. A well-known Boston lawyer and, book collector was lately ushered, without any preparation, into one of these splendid libraries, where a collection of the daintiest and rarest Dibdins had been previously arranged as a bait. At first he was dumb with incredulous surprise, and then —as the story goes—hugging the volumes, he leaped upon a table and danced with delight. THE NEW 'MILK GOLD Imv-1,12. Messrs. Fisher and Sons, of Baltimore, have addressed a letter to the Times, in reply to an article in which that journal condemned the interference of the American Government in the late gold speculation in New York. Messrs. Fisher think that the mercan tile community would have suffered much more seriously but for the action of the Government, and one reason for this is, they think, overlooked. Since the in auguration of the paper money system in the States' mer cantile business of every description has partaken, they say, more or less of the character of a speculation. They give an instance in which a firm contracting to-day for the supplies of a ship, to sail three weeks hence, do not wish to draw their sterling bills against the shipment until the vessel starts. To avoid the risk of loss from a change in the rate of gold (they having contracted for their supplies at to-day's prices), they effect an immediate sale of coin to the extent that the sterling, when drawn, will realise. Messrs. Fisher, as agents, sell the coin to-day for "cash," the firm entering into contract to deliver and receive pay ment for the amount so sold, at their option, within, say, twenty days. " Having effected this sale," write Messrs. Fisher, "we make delivery to the purchaser from coin which we borrow from those who are 'carrying ' it. We advance to the lender the current value in cur rency, under a contract for prompt return on a demand from either party. For the sake of mutual convenience and security, the loan is kept at the market rate for gold by a further advance of currency or a withdrawal of a por tion of that which has been already deposited, and so the contract is kept open until A. and Co. have drawn their bills, and, through their exchange broker,' converted into coin, which is handed us to close the transaction." Such operations are ordinarily conducted with very little risk, but it is evident that when a party of capitalists secure the temporary monopoly of the available coin of New York, the position is very different. Many houses who had contracts out in the manner above stated found themselves in the position of having virtually bought gold at 145 to 155 through'the failure of the lenders to respond to calls. Messrs. Fisher therefore contend that the Government interference was under the circumstances a proper one, as otherwise the unprincipled clique who ruled the gold-room would _have advanced the premium still higher, have obtained larger advances of currency, and produced ruin among the whole mercantile community. Mere is a general reeling of relief now that the redoubt able 2Gth is fairly over, and we may return to the discus sion of practical politics, suspended awhile by the uncertainty, :is to the events of the day. The Siècle says the Cape of Storms is rounded; but finds a certain signifi cance in the very gravity and self-control of the people. Such signs indicate a democracy at last ripe. Idlers and loungers wore pointedly absent from the streets yesterday. It was as if it had been unanimously resolved to give the Government no pretext for inter ference. The Sieele, indeed, pointedly says that the time is past in which the people fell into the traps prepared for them. Yesterday evening all public meetings were interdicted, and sergents-de-ville kept guard in the quarters where they are generally held, forbidding any loiterers to remain there. It is thought that the meetings appointed for to-night will be suffered to take place. However; there is still some lingering uneasiness in headquarters, if we are to judge by a circular addressed by the Minister of War to the heads of the great military commands, directing them on no account to bo absent from their posts in the present " exceptional circumstances." The Journal des Ddbats is sanguine of the parliamentary future. It believes that the extraordinary session will be opened without delay, and that the Chamber will conse quently have completed the necessary formalities prior to the 29th of November. This would certainly be a wise as well as a popular movement, but most people are beginning to share the cynicism of the Temps,whoso comment on any judicious suggestion invariably is that it is too good for the Government to accept it. The draft of a Senatus-Consultum altering the nominaT tiou of the mayors has been submitted to the Council of State. It provides that the mayors should be selected only from the municipal council, but they are to be still nominated by the executive, so that the concession will be very far from satisfying popular demands. There is likely to be a fresh agitation respecting the ob noxious law of public safety. The report that M. Pietri has furnished the Emperor with a lisle des suspects—hence forward, in deference to modern Liberalism, to be called ?isle de precaution—is not likely to improve its popularity. The r - atrie publishes intelligence from Cattaro stating. that the insurgents had sustained a serious defeat on the 24th, losing a hundred and fifty men, besides many prisoners. Among the latter were several Montenegrin volunteers. The neutrality of the Prince of Montenegro is regarded with suspicion, and an envoy of the Austrian Government has been sent to obtain from him an lnswer to certain categorical questions. The influence of foreign Power is, according to to-day's telegrams, percep tible in Dalmatia, and an active correspondence is said to be going on between the Governments of Austria, Prussia, snd Russia respecting recent events at Cattaro. The strike of the weavers at Panissit:Tes is said to be 'ver, the employers having yielded to the demands of the workmen. In future the work will be paid by the yard, instead of by the piece. This strike was conducted with )ut any resort to violence, although 2,000 took part in it. it is fortunate that the dispute has been so speedily termi nated, as an extensive stoppage of work at this season must have been productive of great distress.
