TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.-- The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now extending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even th e mos* sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialite pertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth unril they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every ope ra ti on, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from ss, sets from 5 to 25 ge., warranted.

Scamp, the Deputy-Director of Works to the Admiralty, has recently been engaged on a visit of inspection to the Portsmouth dockyard ex tension works, after an unusually long absence, caused, we understand, by severe illness, aggravated by close application to the duties of his office, in pre paring the drawings and other information for the guidance of contractors sending in tenders for the execution of the works. These tenders will soon be closed, and the main portions of the works will then be at once entered upon. Upwards of 1,000 convicts are now daily employed on one portion of the ground and two large brickmaking machines are kept con stantly at work. An immense number of bricks have been made from the soil of the excavations, which has been found to be admirably suited for the pur pose. The original and amended designs for the works by Mr. Scamp, together with the evidence on the subject, in two large volumes, have been de posited for some time in the office of the Admiral- Superintendent of the dockyard for the information of the officials of the yard. The whole of the naval and military establishments at Chatham, including the dockyard and the ord nance departments, will be closed to-day in honour of her Majesty's birthday, and the workmen granted a day's holyday. A review of the whole of the troops of the garrison will be held on the Chatham lines at 12 o'clock. _ head smithy underof t hetidhneepartment.

The National Rifle Association. Yesterday afternoon the May meeting of the members of this association was held at WOWS Rooms, under the presidency of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, in opening the pro ceedings, said that he had only a few facts to men tion. The Wimbledon meeting would open on the 9th of July. The prizes would amount to £4,020, whereas in 1865 they amounted to only £3,935. Consequently there was a considerable addition to the prizes this year. The increase had been given mainly to the Enfields—a course of proceeding which he thought would be eminently satisfactory to the public and to the large and increasing body of volunteers. If anything there had been a reduc tion in the small bore and other prizes, in order that something more might be given to the Enfields. There would be 658 prizes this year ; last year there had been 580. There was, however, a certain risk in all this, because he was sorry to say that the £6OO due to the Birmingham Arms Company had not been discharged since it was ander discussion at the last meeting. At that meeting he expressed his strong conviction that that sum ought not to be brought against the National Rifle Association, be cause there was an evident mistake in putting out the tenders. No arrangement, however, had yet been made, and therefore there would be some little risk in awarding the additional prizes. But as the funds were tolerably good--not, however, better than they should be—the council thought they were justified in taking the risk. At the same time he could not help hoping that the Birmingham Arms Company would eventually relent, in reference to the demand which they bad made, for in so do ing they would act in a graceful and acceptable manner, and in a manner, too, which would tend to promote the prosperity of the National Rifle As sociation. He had to announce that the Belgian gentlemen had appointed a committee of their own number, and the council had placed at their disposal a sum of £5O, to deal with as they liked. He thought that was a very liberal way of dealing with their Belgian friends, who were entitled to high respect for the manner in which they treated the gentle men who went from this country to their meeting last year. (Cheers.) With regard to the camp at Wimbledon, he might state that it would be opened on the 6th of July. The arrangements of the camp last year gave general satisfaction, and this year he believed they would be equally acceptable. There was one subject, personal to himself to sq_me r eAte4t Saturday, the 2d of June. It had been said that the council of the National Rifle Association had thrown difficulties in the way. The difficulties thrown in the way of the proposed review were not those of the association, but his own. It was proposed that 10,000 men should assemble in Hyde-park, and on looking into the matter he came to the conclusion that there were difficulties about it which could not be got over. There was not sufficient space for such a large body of men. They had a brigade of Guards there, and the extent of their movements had been an advance of line, and a change from right to left. That was all they could do. In addi tion to that, he believed that the large body of people who would assemble on such an occasion would cora. pletely destroy the park. He was very anxious, how ever, that the Earl Grosvenor and the volunteers should not be disappointed ; and he should therefore feel great pleasure in placing Wormwood Scrubs at their disposal. It was not a very accessible place, as they all knew, but there was more space there than in Hyde-park, where a field-day would invitably prove a failure and a disappointment to those who wished to show off the volunteers to advantage. He thought it right to make these remarks, because if blame attached to any one it was to himself. At the forthcoming meeting at Wimbledon there would be a number of breech-loaders at hand, from which anybody might select those most advantageous for his own interest. They had not adopted any arrangement about breech-loaders, but they had found a means of conversion which he thought would prove advantageous. He had gone through the whole matter with Mr. Schneider, and had come to the conclusion that nothing could be more satisfactory than his plan of conversion. If they could introduce conversion from Enfields to breech-loaders, he thought they should adopt it. He did not say that it was the best scheme that could be adopted, but as the scheme now proposed was the best they had seen, he thought it would be very foolish on the part of the Government if they did not adopt it. He would only add that the money on hand was £2,321 17s. Bd., and that the review would take place on the last day of the meeting. Captain HAWKER objected to one of the new rules, which provided that mechanically-fitting bullets should not be allowed in the first stage of the Albert prizes. The rule appeared to be directed, he thought, against ➢Zr. Whitworth. Such a rule tended to break down the principle on which the association was founded, and he therefore suggested that it should be withdrawn. Captain TEMPLER, of the 18th Middlesex, drew attention to the 4th rule,—" For volunteer prizes the shooting at 200 yards shall be off the shoulder ; at the remaining five ranges it •shall be from the knee, Hythe position, unless off the shoulder." He hoped the officers would have instructions to construe it liberally. He thought that something should be allowed to kneel upon if thought ne cessary. Major LESLIE advocated similar views. Lord ELCHO assured Captain Hawker that he was labouring under a mistake in supposing that the rule alluded to was aimed at Mr. Whitworth. With regard to the Hythe position, the council had always felt that changes might be introduced in position, but that such changes ought not to be sug gested by the council. There might, however, be no limit to such changes, and convenient stools might even be made in the form of boots. Mr. LUX3IOOIIE 7 of the Queen's Westminsters, said he knew some men who were determined not to shoot at an if these restrictions were insisted on. The Earl of Duc TE said that out of GO prizes last year 10 different rifles were used, and the Whit worth gun took the lead. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE thought there might be some inconvenience in altering the rule now that all the circulars had been sent out. Captain TEDIPLER said he would not press the matter. Captain GOODLIFF& drew attention to the mode in The motion was negatived. That the opinio n o f Captain BIDDER moved_ , g this meeting the amount of pri ze , given in th e Alb ert competition should not exceed th at gives i n the Alexandra competition." This motion led to a long discussion, and even , tually it was negatived. The amended rules submitted by the council were agreed to. Mr. THOMPSON said he wished to make an inqui ry with regard to the public school matches —namely, whether it was intended that they should be put aside to the Scottish butts ? He thought those young shots should not be sent to a range which everbody who had had any experience knew to be most difficult. Captain PAGE said no arrangements had yet been made, but everybody complained of the Scottish butts. On the motion of Sir J. BURGOYNE, a vote of thanks was awarded to the Duke of Cambridge, which his royal highness briefly acknowledged, and the meeting separated. A meeting of the National Artillery Association was held immediately afterwards —Lord Elcho pre siding. A series of amended rules was put and carried. It was announced that prizes had been given by the Queen, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Secretary of State for War, and the Duke of Wellington. Metropolitan Poor-law Guardians, The second public meeting of metropolitan guar dians was held in St. James's Hall yesterday after noon. Major Lyon was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, alluded to the objects which they had in view in • calling these meetings. There recently had been considerable agitation on the subject of metropoli tan infirmaries, but a great many of the statements made at the various public meetings had not been made according to fact. (Hear, hear.) One of those meetings had been presided over by Lord Carnarvon, who, he believed, had the welfare of the sick poor at heart. At that assemblage the Arch bishop of York also made a speech, but he had acknowledged that he was almost ignorant of the subject on which he had been treating. (Applause.) Adverting to the president of the Poor-law Board, he (the chairman) was afraid that Mr. Villiers looked at the board of guardians very much through the spectacles of Mr. Farnall, who looked upon them as a poor body of men--(hear)—men of such nar row minds and in such a situation in life that they did not deserve the name of gentlemen. (Applause.) In conclusion he stated that the Archbishop of York had promised to introduce a bill in reference to the matter, and it was on this account they had been called together. ThP. J trol of parochial management, and placing them under a central or imperial authority, would be sub versive of the principles of local self-government, and that the collecting together of the sick paupers in large hospitals, containing 1,000 beds each, would not be conducive either to the cure or the wellbeing of the inmates." He supported the motion at some length, and contended that there was no evidence to show that local self-government had been or was justly obnoxious, or that there was any truth in the charges of cruelty or perverseness which had lately been brought against its public management. He deprecated the idea of placing paupers under the management of a self-elected body of commissioners and was of opinion that no advantages would accrue from such a course. Mr. TAVERNER, of Marylebone, seconded the motion. The Rev. S. HANSARD, rector of St. Mary's, Bethnal-green, said that, as a newly-elected guar dian, he thought the new association had done much good, and his vestry had adopted some of its recommendations with great success. He thought it was time some alteration should be made in the present system of poor-law administration, when St. George's paid 4d, in the pound, and Deptford 7s. 7d. He moved, as an amendment, " That the meeting considers the present system of administer ing relief to the sick poor is capable of reform, and holds it to be the duty and interest of all guardians to give unprejudiced consideration to any plan of reform which may be proposed by the Poor-law Board." After a long discussion, the amendment was lost, as was another of a similar character, and the original motion was carried amid some laughter. The meeting then broke up. Metropolitan Board of . Works. The usual weekly meeting of the members of this board was held yesterday at their offices, Spring gardens ; Sir John Thwaites in the chair. The cash statement showed current accounts in the Bank of London, £34,503 6s. Id. ; deposit accounts, £130,037135. sd. ; total, £164,540195. 6d. ; in the Bank of England, current accounts, £251,497 ss. 10d., making a total of £416,038 ss. 4d. It was announced that Alderman David Henry Stone had been elected as one of the representatives of the city of London at this board, in the place of Alderman Thos. Quested Finnis, resigned, and a little later in the day Alderman Stone took his seat. TENDERS FOR THE COUNTER'S CREEK SEWER. Tenders were opened for deepening and recon structing the Counter's Creek sewer, from Royal crescent, Uxbridge-road, to Bramley-road. They were as follows :—J. Wainwright, £22,947 ; J. and L. Willia ms , £19 , 0 00 ; J. Niblett, .£19,500 ; 0 J- Thackeray, £15,350 ; Hill an d Pidd e l, £2O, and Edward Hurst, £18,700. They Were referreds to the finance committee. a motion, of THE GREAT METROPOLIS GAS Q Mr. NEWTON brought forward the subject of which he had given notic m o in which, 'etropolis, the supply of gas to the d the necessity of an LTESTION. at great length, he as he said the N e ve q re applying in the pre existing gas compa nies 'nent for very extensive addi tional consideration of t u h rge sent session of Parliament 'obtained, would aggravate the question, tional powers, and d t l he ratepayers of the metropolis nuisance of which Thirteen existing gas com panies long complained. had . d immense profits, but still the price , se panics real e consumers was very high, and th e qua lity was o f gas to the not othe best illuminating f power. Th e se 13 gas companies had each its own set of engineers, directors, clerks, auditors, accountants, and other officers, and they absorbed a large amount o f the gross income, but if they were consolidated into one body, either under the control of this board or the Corporation of the City of London, the rate payers of the Metropolis might be supplied with gas of a better quality and much cheaper to the con auners, as in the case of Manchester, where the gas V.EIVSPAPER 14e , \ - 7 was supplied by the muni.;: - Atf !4 1,000 feet, and of amuch hig. • 'lir.... it. ;; a than that supplied to Londo that the board contemplated, o sanction, any confiscation of the intliestsei th(bx- Listing gas companies, but he believed the time was come when the board, or some other body, should take those companies under an equitable arrange ment. His object was to Obtain information, so that when the time came for a bill to be framed, that board would be in a position to give an opinion as to what ought to be done. There was one great object they ought to bear in mind, and that was the necessity of removing theme works altogether away from London, and that they should have one works at Cross Ness, and one at Barking, which they should erect on each side of the river to supply the whole of the metropolis, and that they would be able to purify the gas with lime, which at the pre sent time was prohibited in London. The sulphate of iron was used, but it was not so efficient for the purification of gas as lime, which could not be used, and therefore it would be of great advantage to the public if they could have the benefit of the lime pro cess. lie moved " That the report of the selection committee of the House of Commons on the Gas Metropolis Act, 1860, be referred to a special com mittee of this board for consideration and report, and that the committee be authorised to confer with vestries and district boards." Mr. LEGG seconded the motion. Mr. RICHARDSON believed that Mr. Newton had made out a prima facie case for inquiry. Mr. BROOKER, looked upon the motion as prema ture, and suggested that it should be deferred for a fortnight. Mr. MILLER, M.P., said he thought the right way of beginning would be for the board to address a letter to the Home Secretary to inquire whether it was the intention of the Home Office to act upon the recommendation of the committee. If the Home Office replied in the affirmative then they would no doubt work with the boazd, and it would be time; enough to go into the minutia proposed by Mr. Newton. Mr. COLLINSON and Mr. TAYLOR supported the motion ; but the latter gentleman thought, instead of the board addressing a letter to the secretary, that Mr. Miller should put the question in his place in the House of Commons, to which Mr. Miller readily assented. Mr. ROCHE briefly supported the motion, and the question was put and agreed to. draft bill fo r th e exten- Th E The Solicitor O p F r e T s e x n E t e c d o a A L AND WINE DUES. s im io p n ro o v f e t m he en c t o r a a l t a es. and wine dues, loans, and s p ecial The routine business was then proceeded with and the board adjourned. Murder of a Woman and Suicide of the Murderer, (From the Liverpool Mercury.) Last evening, about half-past nine o'clock, a dreadful murder was perpetrated at the Old Swan, • near this town, by a:young man, who immediately afterwards committed suicide. The facts of this shocking case, as they were gathered from the hurried statement of a domestic servant in the employ of the murdered woman, I are as follows :—About a month or five weeks ago, Anne Traine, a young woman about 25 years of age, possessing considerable personal attractions, the wife of a purser, went to live at a house, No. 14, Wood-grove, Edge-lane, Old Swan, near Liverpool. She brought a servant named Margaret Golding with her, and her cousin, a man named John Thomas Moss, who at the time was following no employment. About a fortnight ago the husband of the woman returned from a two months' voyage, and on hearing that his wife's cousin was lodging in his house he expressed his disapprobation, and requested him to leave. He did so, but did not discontinue visiting his cousin. On Tuesday morning the husband left Liverpool on board the steamship Delamere for a short voyage, but before leaving he told his wife that he did not approve of the house in which they were then living, and requested her to leave as soon as possible, and go to a house in the neighbourhood of New Brigh ton. His wife assented to this proposition. nabsa anu uuppeu uigat. remamect were a following day and night, and yesterday morning Mrs. Traine commenced packing up her boxes, and he assisted her. He appeared considerably excited during the early part of the day, and once sharpened a large carving knife, and passing his hand over his throat, remarked that he wished to leave this world, and he could soon do it by cutting the jugular vein. Mrs. Traine and the servant, however, took the knife from him, and he became quiet, and assisted his cousin in packing her boxes. They had tea together about 5.30 o'clock p.m., and he then ap peared quite calm and collected. After tea, he accompanied Mrs. Traine to one of the upper rooms, and they recommenced their work. After they had been upstairs for some time Mrs. Trains called the servant, who went to them. The man Moss, who then had hold of Mrs. Traine by the wrists, and was looking into her face, said, " Will you give it to me ?" and Mrs. Traine replied " No," and told the servant that he wanted her mother's ring, which she wore on the same finger as her wedding-ring. Moss then said, " Well, never mind," and, putting his arm round his cousin's neck, he attempted to kiss her, but she resisted, and he desisted. Mrs. Traine then asked the woman Golding to get her a dress from one of the other rooms, and she left, her mistress then being kneeling on the floor tying a box, and the man Moss sitting on a box at the other end of the room behind her. The woman had scarcely reached the room when she heard Mrs.Traine calling out, " Oh, Margaret !" She rushed back to the room, and saw Moss strike three blows at the head of his cousin with a hatchet, a i n r ign seen nlvi o tr i m hhhaa e oe trmf r e e i w p n ais h a omi i ses r sti s rnwt . euosoots G uekls o ad l stli d hoav i et n et atr g . hee r etk u uTr s rioh h ni oee e err :: : which he had brought into the room o n th e pretence froma o n f tn a h N g - e e i rt t o h i on e alarm.mm afmaking wwhitehretws she e n h e neighbours, bl last r s s e , they found the body of the unfortunate woman lying on the floor.
