TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.-- The fear of pain and dread of ope'ation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TFATI-I are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist.

Mr. Seward has delivered a speech at Auburn, in which he defended the course of the President re specting the recent vetoes. His plan of reconstruc tion was the only practical one yet suggested. Congress indiscriminately grouped loyal and dis loyal by excluding loyal Southern representatives. The differences between the Executive Congress were, he said, less serious than was supposed, and need not cause the disruption of the Republican party. The general tone of Mr. Seward's speech was mediatorial. The President and the members of the Cabinet were serenaded last night by the National Union Club. The President responded briefly, thanking the club for this demonstration of approval of his conduct as a public servant ; the day was not dis tant when the people would be satisfied that they were right. Mr. Stanton delivered a long speech, in which he said the President was cordially sup ported by the Cabinet. The plan of reconstruction proposed by the Committee in Congress was unwise and impolitic. Mr. 111' Culloch also warmly approved the President's policy, and said he would eagerly embrace any plan of reconstruction better than his own whenever presented. The House of Representatives has passed the Bankrupt Bill. The Connecticut Legislature has elected General Perry (Republican) as Senator. The New Fork Herald states that Chili, Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador are endeavouring to effect an alliance with Venezuela, in order to secure a base of operations from which they could invade Cuba. The China takes out $3,000,000 in gold. The Collector of Customs at Rouse's Point seized 1,700 muskets on Friday last supposed to belong to the Fenians. Eighty-seven cases of arms belonging to the Senate faction have been seized at Erie, Pennsylvania. The report that the Fenian circles at Washington had resolved to support Stephens is denied. Stephens is said to be receiving subscriptions from numerous circles. THE BOMBARDMENT OF CALLAO.—RE PULSE OF THE SPANISH FLEET. NEW YORK, May 24 (Evening.) Advices received here from Callao announce that the Spanish fleet, on the 2d inst., attempted to bombard Callao, but were repulsed, after a fight of four hours by the shore batteries. Two ironclads were disabled, and Admiral Nunez was wounded. The Peruvians lost 60 men killed, including the Secretary of War, and 120 wounded. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. Among the deaths registered at the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Washington is that of William Daily, a native of Killereen, Ireland, who died at his residence, No. 338, East Sixteenth-street, New York, at the advanced age of one hun dred and six. Daily was born in the year 1760, was a man of compact build, about five feet three inches in height, with large, well-developed head and chest, high forehead, and a very intelligent ex pression of face. In early life he worked hard, and for many years past was temperate and abstemious. In Ireland he was an extensive farmer and held positions of responsibility an d t rus t, b u t su dd e n misfortune, late in life, led him to follow to Ame rica his daughter, who had been residing there a number of years. He emigrated to New York in _ _ 1848, and has since resided there, leading a quiet and rather inactive life. This removal from his native island he often thought was unfortunate for him, and he often expressed the belief "that it would shorten his life." At home he had the repu tation of being the strongest man in the county where he resided, was always a quiet and peaceable man, but with a high seise of justice, which led him physical strength ; u n til th e life the pow ers o f hi s m i n d In physi ca l strength and to protect the weak and unfortunat e .

His eldest daughter, with whom he lived the last eighteen years of his life, is nearly sixty-nine years of age, but looks like a woman of forty-five to fifty. Daily was married twice, first after he had attained the age of thirty. He had seven children, all by his first wife. Three of his child ren are st i ll living. He had a sister who d ied at the age of one hundred and three, a ndhis father attaiusd th e same age. He frequently mentioned t h e fact of his having been p erm itted to shake hands with Georg e 111. It i s a remarkable fact that he was never much of a sleeper. As far back as his eldest daughter can re member he had required but very little sleep, fre quently sleeping but from two to three hours in the night, seldom in the daytime. He was never sick for a day until his final illness. He used tea and coffee, but of late years seldom ever tasted alcoholic stimulants of any kind. Dr. 11. M. Field, who was his attending physician, says, " Like Dr. Parr, our patient kept his pipe alive to the last." For the latter part of his life he took great interest in read ing and hearing read the history of the American Revolution, many of the events of which he remem bered as conteniporaneous with his early life.' The Cincinnati Commercial says in that city con ductors and drivers on street railroads get but nine dol lars a week ; barbers make from twelve tolifteen dollars ; waiters, eight dollars; boys and girls, who manufacture The New York Tribune reckons the bank swind lings and embezzlements in America from May, 1865, to May, 1866, at about $8,164,000, besides $3,472,000 of what it calls " vulgar and violent robberies." The citizens of Columbia, South Carolina, have appointed a committee to ascertain whether General Sher man or Confederate General Hampton burnt that city. Of course they will decide that -General Sherman is the guilty one. The ladies of Columbus, Mississippi, recently decorated the graves of the Confederate dead in the ceme tery of that city. They also paid the same mark of respect to the memory of some forty Federal soldiers buried near by. This act elicits the approval of the press of that city, which claims that, the war being over, no distinction should be made between the deceased heroes of opposite sides. " The Ladies' Home Gazette" is to be the title of a weekly literary paper, which will soon make its appear ance at Atlanta, Georgia. Mrs. L. Virginia French, one of the most accomplished women of the South, is to be the editor. The new Masonic Temple now in process of erec tion in Bostbn wOrsurpass anything of its kind in the United States, and will cost, with the land, about 5400,000. The anti-negro riots in Memphis have resulted in the destruction of all the churches wherein blacks tried to worship God, and all the school-houses wherein they were trying to educate their children. It isn't pretended that anybody tried or wished to destroy white men's churches or their children's school-houses. " Prince " John Van Buren, with his two daughters, arrived at Liverpool by the Scotia, last Satur day, and proceeded to the metropolis. General Beauregard, of the late Confederate service, arrived by the Scotia, and took apartments at the Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool. His appearance on 'Change in Liverpool attracted some interest and curiosity. It is said he comes to England in connection with business relating to a Southern Railway. The President has lately pardoned General Hayes, of Louisiana, in order to permit him to take the office of Sheriff, to which he has been elected in New Orleans. William M. Gwin has been released from im prisonnient in a fortress near New Orleans, and has given his parole. Mrs. Jefferson Davis, it is said, intends to remain permanently with her husband at Fortress Monroe until his trial. Mr. Bandmann, the German actor who made such a sensation in New York a year or two since, is shortly expacted in this country. _ _ Mr. William Swinton, a New York journalist and author, is about visiting England. Dr. J. G. Holland (" Timothy Titcomb") has left the Springfield Republican, with which journal he has been connected for a number of years, and will devote all his time now to the "making of books." Dr. Holland is mentioned among the intending tourists to this country. Paul H. Hayne, a Southern name not unknown in literature, is in Augusta, Georgia, writing for the press there. He lost a great deal of property by the war, and now finds his talents and his pen of service to him. Hon. Daniel S. Dickenson's life was insured for $25,000. The House of the Tennessee Legislature has passed a resolution, by 0 to 11, declaring that Jefferson Davis and other leading rebels have forfeited their lives, ought to suffer death, and be held infamous for ever. Sterling King, the ex-Confederate Colonel, who announced himself the assassin of Mr. Lincoln, died of starvation in Louisville. The wretched man, who was in prison on a charge of stealing horses, first attempted suicide by cutting his throat, but failing in this, deter mined to starve himself to death. He lived forty days, taking a small portion of soup only five times during that period. When he died he was a Imre sk?.l3ten. LIEUTENANT-GENERAL SCOTT AT - WEST POINT. —This veteran hero made his usual annual visit to West Point on May 10. The occasion was taken advantage of 1.49, honour the old soldier by the offi c ers of the army on ' - duty. General Van Vliet placed at the dispc-"„al of the General the Government steamer a W. Th'omas. The Lieutenant-General was accompanied by two members of his staff in Mexico, Colonels Munroe and Van Buren ; also by Majer-Generals Pleasanton, Butterfield, Potter, Van Vliet and Vogdes, and a select party of prominent civilians. General Vogdes sent the band of the First Regular Artil lery with the company. On passing Castle William, Governor's Island, a salute of thirteen guns was fired, by order of General Butterfield, in honour of the hero of two wars. At dinner on board the steamer toasts in honour of General Scott were drank with much enthu siasm by all the party. The Lieutenant-General expressed himself much indebted to all for their courtesy and kind ness. On the way up the river every steamer honoured the Lieutenant-General by salutes and dipping their colours. Passing Stony Point, a place famous in revolu tionary story, and " Benny Havens, 0 !" a place well re membered by many living West Pointers, the band played appropriate airs. On arriving at West Point the Lieute ` nant-General was received with due honours by General Cullum, Colonel Black, and Captain Boynton. The cadets were out on parade and presented a fins appearance. The Lieutenant-General is in rather feeble health.—New York Herald. Mr. George Peabody is stopping at the house of his sister, at South Danvers, Mass. He declined any for mal reception from the citizens of his native place. He desires to remain quiet for several weeks at the house of his sister, after which he will probably visit various parts of the United States. It is his present intention to remain in America about a year. The heirs of the revolutionary Gen. Kosciusko have lost a suit for six hundred acres of land situated near White,Sulphur Springs, Ohio. A resident of Memphis has sued the Avalanche for libel in saying that he had been a rebel. Tho damages are laid at $50,000. . The Government and people of Nova Scotia are honouring the memory of Dr. Slater, the physician who lost his life by cholera while devotedly serving on board the plague steamer England. The House of Assembly has unanimously voted the sum of two thousand dollars to the widow, and the people propose to raise a monument near the scene of his labours. The body of the lamented Preston King, late Collector of Customs for New York city, was found float ing in the Atlantic basin on the 14th instant, and identi fied beyond doubt. It had been six months and a day under the waters of the bay, until the cord by which the bag of shot was fastenod had rotted off, when it rose to the surface and floated. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

There has been little or no change in the Money-market during the past week, though exchange has advanced to a rate which has caused large shipments of gold—tbe imme diate effect of the financial and political news from Europe received by the last steamer. Large quantities of Govern ment and other stocks have been received for sale from Europe, and more may be expected, as the general impres sion is that the excitement in the London Exchange and Paris Bourse is only the commencement of a panic. Gold opened at 130, and, after selling at 1294, closed at 1291 to 130. It is understood that the Treasury is ready to part with its surplus gold, at about these rates, to an amount sufficient to supply the export demand. ' Money is abundant at 4 to 5 per cent. on call, and good borrowers are able to make their own forms as to time. For Commercial bills the rates are 5 to 51, and 5} to 61 for three or four months' notes. Low as the rate of interest is no advance therein is looked for by financial people. A European war may send back some national stocks, but not a larger amount than can readily be paid for iu.gold if necessary. The prices realised to-day show that the last mail did not bring any extraordinary quantity —not enough to affect the market one per cent.

The Pacific Mail Steamship Company has made a call of $5O per share upon its scrip stock, payable on or before August 1, but interest at 7 per cent. will be charged on all payments delayed beyond Juno 1. The railroad running from St. Louis to Springfield was sold on the 13th inst. to Gen. John C. Freemont for $1,300,000. Seventy-seven miles of this road have already been completed. Its owners claim it will be worth $12,000,000 when completed. Four or five millions will be necessary to finish it. It passes through the heart of the agricultural and mineral lands of the State of Mis souri, and the celebrated Granby lead mines in Newton County are a part of its "realty." This line is intended to be a part of the route provided for in the Southern Pacific Railroad in the Senate Bill, reported by Senator Brown, of Missouri. Freemont obligates himself to finish it within four years of the purchase. The editor of Thompson's Bank-note Reporter says : During a period of 100 years, from 1750 to 1850, the average annual product of precious metals (gold and silver) for the whole world, was certainly short of $ 4 0,000,000. It is fair to estimate that three-fourths of this passed into manufrctured articles and the arts, leaving something less than ten millions of dollars per annum increase to the specie money of the world. After making a fair allowance for lost money and abrasion, the amount of precious metals that was added to the money of the world during the one hundred years was probably not over $750,000,000. From 1850 to the present time, only 15 years, the pro duct of the precious metals has been on an average $120,000,000. Allowing that fifty millions per annum have passed into manufactured articles and the arts, it leaves an aggregate of hard money increase, in the 15 years, of more than $1,000,000,000. The time occupied in transmission from place to place and from country, to country has been diminished more than one-half during the past 50 years. This diminishes the amount of money necessary to carry on a business, as it is so much the oftener repeated in its action. The science of Exchange and letters of credit has been brought to such practical perfection that the real money is wanted for only occasional balances. The system of a secured paper currency, like the issues of the Bank of England (based on its investment in Con sols), and our national currency (based on Government bonds deposited with the U. 3. Treasurer), is a powerful element in the augmentation or expansion of money. Ten dollars of this secured money to only $1 of specie is easier and safer managed than were three to one of the old State Bank currency. Drawing our conclusions from these facts, we say the hard money of the world has doubled in 15 years; inven tions and science have doubled its efficacy in 50 years ; double the amount of paper currency can be issued on a given amount of specie. The logical and mathematical ded•ictiotrz are, that prices of everything that money buys, excel, interest-bearing obligations, should be about quadruple the prices paid dur ing the first half of this century. The conviction left on our mind is that this country can drift to a specie basis in three years without contracting the currency at all, and that, in the meantime, the largest half of our debt can be consolidated into a long five per cent. stock, and that, during the succeeding five years, the balance, or at least all that matures, can be consolidated into a four per cent. stock. The success of a new process for separating gold has been worked for some time past on the Mariposa estate, California, and the results are said to be so astonishing as to warrant the statement that four times the usual amount of gold will be extracted by this process. (From E. F. Satterthwaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular, May 30.) Our advices from New York to the 13th inst. by the "Scotia" report a good market for Government Securi ties, especially for the 7-30 or Currency Bonds. More dis position was also shown to invest in Railroad Securities, and, although no important advance was established, the aspect of the market was decidedly more buoyant than for somo time past. This was much helped by the easy state of the money market, large balances being employed at even 4 or 5 per cent.

Last evening the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress gave a grand banquet in the Egyptian Hall, Mansion House, in honour of 11.R.11. the Duke of Cambridge (the president of Christ's Hospital), the Treasurer of that hospital, the Presidents and Treasurers of 'other royal hospitals in the City of London, the Mas ters of the 12 great City companies, and the mem bers of the Court of Aldermen. Covers were laid for 100 gentlemen, and amongst the company pre sent were— His Highness the Prince de Teck, his Highness the Maharajah of Johore, the Right Hon. G. J. Goschen, M.P., Alderman Copeland, presi dent of Bridewell Hospital ; the President of St. Thomas's Hospital, Sir Anthony de Rothschild, Sir James Duke, Sir F. G. Moon, theVen. Archdeacon Hale, the Governor of the Bank of England, Mr. Alderman Sidney, Mr. Alderman Salomons, M.P., Mr. S. C. Whitbread, Mr. Alderman Carter, Mr. Alderman Rose, Mr. Alderman Lawrence, M.P., Mr. Alderman Gabriel, Mr. Alderman Allen, Mr. Alderman J. Clarke Lawrence, Mr. Alderman Bos ley, Mr. Alderman Waterlow, the Treasurer of Bartholomew's Hospital, the Treasurer of Christ's Hospital, the Treasurer of Bridewell Hospital, the Treasurer of St. Thomas's Hospital, the Master of the Mercers' Company, the Masters of the Grocers' Company, the Prime Warden of the Fishmongers' Company, the Master of the Haberdashers' Com pany, the Master of the Ironmongers' Company, the Master of the Vintners' Company, the Com mittee of Almoners of Christ's Hospital, theiMe dical Officers, &c., of the royal hospitals, Mr. Al derman and Sheriff Gibbons, Mr. Sheriff Figgius, and a number of private friends. it M The loving cup having bee n p asse d roun d with the usual c eremony , an d th e l oya l toasts baying been duly di spose d of, The LORD ecrs ~ gave lordship " ia d it Th a e ss A o r c my t , Navy, and and Volunteers sisthe toast the name of the Duke of Cambridge for the army and navy, and that of Major (Alderman) Rose for the volunteers. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, in returning thanks on the part of the army and navy, observed that with regard to the position in which those services were placed, hQ might say that in whatever part of the globe they might find themselves they never forget that they were E nglishmen. w 'F h h il is e c it ou w n a ty s r no Nas t v agg n r o ms t a iv n e, a it g w gr as essv a ie natio n ; powerful co try, and the army and navy would always use their endeavours to enable it to maintain the high posi tion it had long occupied in the family of nations. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Alderman ROSE returned thanks for the Volunteers. The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the President of Christ's Hospital." It had frequently been his good fortune to speak of his Royal High ness in his capacity of commander-in-chief, and he had now the happiness to allude to him in a more peaceful character, viz., as the president of one of the most noble institutions in this country. When his Royal Highness was elected to that office it might have been supposed that the prestige of his, name would be sufficient to satisfy those who had induced him to occupy that position ; but he (the Lord Mayor) unhesitatingly said that no man had ever fulfilled the duties which devolved upon his Royal Highness in that capacity with greater apti tude, with greater diligence, or with greater regard for the benefits conferred by the institution. Ile had often had the honour of seeing his Royal High ness at official meetings for the discharge of public business connected with the interests of Christ's Hospital, and he had always observed that he dis played such a thorough knowledge of the working of the institution in all its practical and business details that he was sometimes tempted to ask his Royal Highness where he obtained his commercial education. (A. laugh.) It was a great gratification to him that night to welcome his Royal Highness as the President of Christ's Hospital, and he hoped he might long be spared to enjoy the confidence and esteem of the. citizens of London. (Cheers.) The toast was receim-,1 w ;pith the warmest enthu siasm, and The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, in returning thanks, said the Lord Mayor had done him the honour of allud ing to the manner in which he discharged his duty as president of Christ's Hospital; but he could assure ►his lordship that when he undertook the re sponsibility of this most agreeable and acceptable office he should not have done so had he not made up his mind that he would fulfil the obligation im posed upon him as efficiently as he possibly could. He considered it a very high honour to be placed at the head of so noble an institution, but he could have done very little in the exercise of his functions if he had not been most ably assisted and supported by the treasurer and the court of almoners of the hospital. In reference to the duties he was called upon to discharge, he felt that such an institution ought to be carried on with great care and caution, and that when important interests were entrusted to those who were placed in authority they ought not effect any changes without being satisfied that those changes were sound, reasonable, and desirable. He sincerely thanked the Lord Mayor for the very com plimentary manner in which he had invited that distinguished assemblage to drink to his health. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYcm next gave " The health of his Highness the Prince de Teck," observing that this was the first time his highness had received the hos- pitality of the citizens of London, and that they were delighted to welcome him as a prince who was about to enter into a holy matrimonial alliance with _ _ _ _ one of the daughters of England, who was beloved by the people of England, and whom the citizens of London cherished and honoured. (Cheers.) The Prince de TECK, in responding, said that among the numerous invitations he had received since he had been in this country none had given him greater pleasure than the one he had received from the Lord Mayoi, as the representative of the London Cqrporation. He expressed to his lord ship his thanks for the kind manner in winch Ins health had been proposed by him, and to the dis tinguished company by which he saw himself sur rounded by the very warm manner in which the same had been received. His marriage with one of England's daughters could not but add still more strongly to the attachment he already felt for this country, where he hoped by his future conduct to show himself worthy of the many kindnesses he had already experienced. The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The health of hi s Highness the M ahara j ah of Johore." The MAHARAJAH, in returning thanks, expressed his high appreciat ion of the welcome he had received in this country , and the kind feelings b een displayed to him by Queen Victoria had Prince of Wales. a and the The next toast was that of " The Royal Hospitals," associated with the name of Mr. Alderman Cope land, who acknowledged the compliment in appro priate terms. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE then gave " The health of the Lord Mayor " in very eulogistic terms. His LORDSHIP having returned thanks, proposed " The House of Commons," coupled with the name of Mr. Alderman Salomons, M.P. Mr. Alderman SALOSIONS briefly returned thanks, and the Lord Mayor proposed the " Treasurers of, the Royal Hospitals " —a toast which was responded and to by Mr. Foster White (St. Bartholomew's) Mr. Gilpin (Christ's Hospital). " The City Magistrates and the Court of Almoners of Christ's Hospital" and " The Sheriffs" next followed in succession ; and Mr. E. Lawrence gave " The health of the Lady Mayoress." The LORD Maroc gracefully acknowledged the compliment, and the company separated. In the course of the evening a selection-of music was performed by the band of the Coldstream Guards, under the direction of 111 r. A. F. Godfrey.
