Captain Gronow, who lately died in Paris, has left a widow and four young children, by his second Marriage utterly destitute, without means to defray his funeral expense; or even to purchase bread. Captain Gronovcr Was disinherited by his father, in favour of his brother a clergyman. and the small income which he derived from the interest of a sum c h arged on the family esta te ceased with his life ; while the sums h e received from ti me to time for his " Recollections" were expended in providing for the increasing expenses of his young family. Under these distressing circumstances the friends of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now appeal to the liberality of her late husband's friends in London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for c ontributions to enable her to maintain and educate her children.

Sea- side; Nicoll's Guinea Waterproof Tweed Overcoats are patronized by Travellers all over the world. that the great mass of the projectiles is hurled over the enemy's head, and the chief effort of the supernumerary rank is to induce the men to be cool and to fire low. The superiority of the fire of an English line in action has been the true reason of their success. In the late Seikh wars an incontest able proof was given of the deadly nature of the British fire when compared with that of their Ilindon allies. The brigade, consisting of one English, and two native regiments, frequently came into action in line, and the ground in its front was thickly strewn with dead and wounded Seikhs, where the fire of the British regiment was directed, while that in front of the native regiments was com paratively clear of the fallen foe. The butt of a muzzle-loader has to be grounded to receive the charge, and it is in the hurry of bringing down the muzzle to a line with the enemy that the mistake of drawing the trigger too soon is so generallycommitted. The breech-loader remains always pointed in loading towards the foe, and, as the muzzle is drooped when the rifle is being re-loaded, the tendency in firing too quickly is to fire low. This fault is a good one in action, as the shots ricochet, and are much more likely to tell on an enemy. Not only therefore is the rapidity of the fire infinitely in creased, but its direction is better. Nor is the fouling so great. The only British regiment armed with the. Enfield rifle at the Siege of Delhi found the weapon useless after a few rounds had been discharged, and the men were constantly compelled to fire away a bullet rammed little more than half way down the barrel, running the risk of the -weapon bursting in their hands. .4 4- 1 1 wo or three charges in a breech-loader cannot -be placed on the top of each other ; nor can the men fire away their ramrods. Indeed there is scarcely a single point —if there be one at all—in which the superiority of the breech-loader is not self-evident. We fear that a great and gallant army, and the pride of the most military people in Europe, will be mortally hurt solely by their neglect to meet their enemy on equal terms. Nothing tends more to dishearten soldiers than the knowledge that their enemy has an incontestable superiority, and the morale of the Austrian troops has been terribly shaken by seeing the bravery and endurance of their finest regiments only end in their annihilation. On every point the . calculations of Count Bismarck are coming out correct, and it is probable that a few months more will place him in a position second only to the Emperor Napoleon himself, and established in Prussian history as the next in renown to Frederick the Great. lIE O X F O R D, 6, OXFORD-STREET, W.

[The above article was written before the news of the total defeat of the Austrian army on the 3d inst. was known in this country. What we antici pated has not only come to pass, but the defeat of Marshal Benedek has been the most total and dis astrous since Waterloo--•a result we 'did not expect.

Civic Banquet to the King and Queen of the Belgians. About 130 guests attended a grand banquet at the Mansion-house last evening, given by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress to the King and Queen of the Belgians. It was served in the Egyptian hall with that perfection of culinary and decorative art for which entertainments in the City of London have long been celebrated. The guests were re ceived by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress. At a quarter-past seven they met the King and Queen of the Belgians at the doorway ; and a little later they received at the same place the Prince and Prin cess of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh, with their suites. The royal visitors were heartily cheered by the crowd outside. The guests included the various ambassadors, the Maharajah of Jahore and suite, Prince and Princess Soltakoff, Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe- Weimar, Baron and Baroness de Rothschild, Mr. C. Fortescue and the Countess Waldegrave, Mr. and Lady Charlotte Schneider, Mr. and Mrs. Glad stone, Mr. and Lady Mildred B. Hope, the President of the Royal Academy, Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Walpole, Sir H. Cairns, Mr. and Mrs. Goschen, Miss Burdett Coutts, the Governor of the Bank of England, Hon. Mrs. Loyd-Lindsey, Sir Roundell and Lady Palmer, the members of the Court of Aldermen, the Right Hon. the Recorder, the Masters of the 12 Livery Companies, the Chairman of the Corporation Com mittees, &c. The health of the Queen was duly honoured. The LORD MAYOR—I have now the honour to propose the healths of our royal and distinguished guests, their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians. (Cheers.) Sire, fifty hears have elapsed since this ancient municipality conferred its highest and most deeply-prized privilege on your royal father. (Hear, hear.) Every act of his public life shows how well and worthily that honour was be stowed. (Cheers.) The late King of the Belgians was dearly loved by the English people. (Cheers.) He was the intimate and faithful friend, the never failing adviser of our beloved Queen ; and he in augurated a policy of freedom and constitutional government in his adopted kingdom which has without doubt blessed the Belgion people with happiness and prosperity. By his wisdom, fidelity, and love of truth and justice he won the admiration and confidence of all European States. Some of us have had the opportunity of visiting your Ma jesties' dominions, and whether we view its com mercial, its manufacturing, or its agricultural interests—the textile fabrics of Mechlin, or the iron manufactures of Liege, we can see traces of the in dustry of the people and the firm constitution of the Government,-we can see a people who are governed by a free constitution, and by a King whom they love and honour. (Cheers.) May, sire, a reign so inaugurated continue to bless and prosper. May you lead a life of uninterrupted happiness, and may I venture to hope that your happy and peaceful country will remain the model of freedom, and the admiration of the surrounding world. (Loud cheers). The King of the BELGIANS—I thank you, both in my own name and in the name of the Queen, for the honour you have just done us in drinking our health with the warmth you have displayed. I thank the Lord Mayor for the kind way ia which he gave the toast. I thank you for the kind manner in which you have accepted it. England and Belgium are sister countries. (Cheers.) They are both very much attached to their free institutions; they are both, although in a very different scale, engaged in great commercial and industrial pursuits. We have the same liberal commercial and industrial pursuits. We have the same liberal commercial policy, and I am very happy to be able to say here that our trade is increasing. (Cheers.) I sincerely hope that the bands of friendship which already tie Belgium to England will be strengthened and continue for ever more. (Cheers.) And now, my Lord Mayor, let me again thank you for the most kind speech you have just made, and for all you have said of my dear native country. I thank you for the way in which you have just spoken of the King, my late father. The King of Belgium long enjoyed the freedom of this important city, and I need not say lam proud of the honour. Let me also thank you again for all you have said about myself, of whom you have spoken I feel a great deal too kindly. Let me conclude now by apologising for having ad dressed you in my broken English—(laughter, his Majesty's English being excellent) —and by express ingt to you my best wishes for the c ontinuance of h extraordinary prosperity enjoyed b y this city--the commercial capital a th e world. (Loud cheers.) The healths of the Prince and Princess of V. and the rest of the Royal family were next proposed by the Lord Mayor.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young . women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will lie required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will yon help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the rea lly starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf ! .

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear of pain and dread of ope. ation 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 ex ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a bystem of dentistry . perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a speci riffle uertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her 3lajesty h as granted her royal l e tt ers patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, a nd comfortable than any yet produced. Cons ultation free. Te et h f rom 58. S e t s f rom 5 t o 2 5 gs, warranted. For the effica "Lancet."

They are better officered, better drilled, and with a higher tone of profes sional honour and esprit, but—they are not as well armed. It was madness in the Kaiser to allow this war to have been commenced before he had placed a breech-loadingrifieinthe hands of most of his infantry regiment s ; and i t i s the more inexcusable, acted in full as his troopsconjunctionopportunity s o h f Prussia, and had a war of seeing the deadly effect of the needle-gun. The German mind is slow—at least in action. But the mind of Count Bismarck seems to be a striking exception. Prussia possesses therefore a double advantage. She opposes to sluggish movement the promptest and most energetic action ; and she opposes to clumsy muzzle-loading muskets, breech loaders. Those who know what men are in war can alone fully appreciate the advantages the Prussians possess in this arm. An estimate has been them total British d Army of ammunition expended by in the Penins u l ar war i n ac ti on . This n divided by the number of the ae h of a s the b e rounds enemy's killed and wounded, and the result has shown an almost incredible waste. The writer, when a lieutenant in the British Army, observed a man in the rear rank of his company, at a review at the Curragh, load repeatedly, each time miss -fire, and still add another and another cartridge. He placed his hand on the man's shoulder, when the raised musket exploded, knocking the soldier and himself down, and creating the same shock in the ranks that a round shot passing through it would have done. Ramrods, in the excitement of these occa sions, although mere holiday work, are often fired away, endangering the lives of commanders of bat talions and brigades, who are ge nera lly w h ere th ey have no right to be — in front, instead of in rear of their line. But the most striking proof of what men do in action is furnished by American statistics, which gener ally get to the root o f th e matter, an d then ground improvements on proved facts. After the battle of Gettysburgh 27,574 small arms were picked up in the field. Of these 24,000 were found loaded, and 12,000 of them were double loaded. Six thousand had from three to ten charges, and many had five or six balls to one charge of powder. Some of the men had actually placed the ball before ' the powder; in others, the cartridges were not broken at the end, while in one musket 23 balls, 62 buck-shot, and a quantity of gun-powder, were all mixed up together. This statement is taken from the Report of the Chief of the Ordnance Depart ment, and furnishes a striking illustration of the ne cessity of arming even the coolest-headed men with the most simple rifle for the excitement of battle. Those who_ have watched the fire of a line know PRICF id. STAMPED sd. his Majesty the King of the Belgians has just made, I feel almost nervous in getting up to return thanks for the very kind manner in which you have proposed our healths. We feel it to be a great honour to be received here on this occa sion. We are always happy to come here, and under any circumstances feel grateful when invited to partake of the Lord Mayor's hospitality. But on this particular occasion I feel doubly happy to be here to support you, my Lord Mayor, because you have as your guests the King and Queen of the Belgians. (Cheers.) Although I thank you for the honour you have done me in asking me here as a guest, I do not consider myself entirely a guest, because I cannot forget I am a freeman of this city. (Cheers.) The honour was conferred upon me three years ago, and both the Princess and myself will never forget the reception which was accorded us on her arrival in England. (Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR in proposing " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," remarked that the toast had a peculiar interest, in the first place, because there was a hope that at last the peace of Europe might be established on a firm and sound basis, and in the second place because he had the honour to call upon the Duke of Edinburgh to return thanks for the navy. His royal highness was one of their fellow citizens, and bore the reputation of being a true-hearted English sailor, whose devotion to his Queen and country was never excelled. (Cheers.) His Royal Highness the Duke of EDINBURGH I thank you for the way in which you have received the toast of the navy. You, my Lord Mayor, I thank especially for the very kind manner in which you have coupled my name with that service, in which I am proud to have the honour of serving. This toast has a special application in the city of London. It is from this busy city that merchant vessels sail all over the world, and it is one of the special duties of her Majesty's men-of-war to de fend those ships wherever they may find them in distress. You may therefore depend upon it that, as one of your fellow-citizens, I shall always be proud to be to the front, if necessity requires. (Loud cheers.) General Sir E. CUST responded for the army. He said that if future wars were to be conducted with the brevity of the present continental struggle they would be confined to Reuter's telegrams. (Laughter.) Alderman ROSE spoke for the volunteers. The LORD MAYOR proposed " Her Majesty's Ministers." He believed that the new Government, like their predecessors, had the best and truest in terests of their country at heart. With the toast he had the greatest pleasure in associating the name of Mr. Disraeli—a name which, he unhesitatingly affirmed, was honoured and respected in this coun try. (Cheers.) He hoped the new Chancellor of the Exchequer might be as successful as his prede cessor. (Laughter and cheers.) He could not wish the right hon. gentleman a better wish than that in the next seven years he might produce effects as satisfactory to the country as the right hon. gentle man who had preceded him. (Cheers.) Mr. DISRAELI—I beg to return you my thanks on the part of her Majesty's Ministers for the great honour you have done them. As I have only been a Minister for a very few hours I am sure you will not expect on this occasion an exposition of the general policy of the new Administration. (A laugh.) Indeed, if this dinner had taken place yes terday, the duty I am now discharging would have fallen in all probability upon my predecessor ; and I am sure the right hon. gentleman—whom, not withstanding our long and fierce encounters, I pre sume to call my right hon. friend—(cheers)—would have done much justice to a theme which must always be interesting to the subjects of her Majesty. Indeed, under any circumstances, I could not pre tendon an occasion like the present to refer to any party subject or political situation, but I hope I may be permitted to say on the part of her Majesty's present advisers, that they are animated by a sin cere desire to do their duty to their Sovereign and their country, and I hope that by a policy prudent, yet at the same time firm, by a policy temperate in its general tone, yet decided when necessary in its action, it may preserve in this country prosperity and peace. (Cheers.) There is no country more interested in those blessings than one which is situated near to us, the amiable and accomplished sovereigns of which have honoured us with their presence this day. I trust that those blessings will fall upon that country, for I am sure that every Englishman is interested in the welfare of Belgium. (Cheers.) To the toast of " The House of Lords," proposed by the Chairman, the Earl of Shrewsbury and Tal bot responded. The King of the BELGIANS, in a complimentary sentence, proposed the Lord Mayor's health, to which the Lord Mayor replied. The LORD MAYOR then gave " The House of Commons." Notwithstanding there was no reason to find fault with that august assembly, he trusted h e might be permitted to say that within the last three weeks they had not been so busily occupied as they usually were at this season of the year. (Laughter.) He coupled with the toast the name of the Right Honourable W. E. Gladstone. (Loud cheers.) He offered that gentleman a cordial and hearty reception in the City of London, and he had no hesitation in saying that history did not furnish a brighter example of a loyal and patriotic subject —or of an honest, independent, or faithful states man. (Renewed cheers.) No one who had watched the right honourable gentleman's brilliant career could refrain, whatever his political opinions might be, from expressing his sense of the important ser vices he had rendered. Might Mr. Gladstone long be spared to serve his country as faithfully and in dependently as he had hitherto done, and might he long continue to be one of the brightest ornaments of the House of Commons. (Loud cheers.) Mr. GLADSTONE—I must not trust myself to dwell upon the terms which the Lord Mayor has been pleased to refer to my personal career, beyond the tendering of my respectful gratitude, and the utter ance of the conviction that he has allowed his warmth of expression to carry his estimate of me beyond the bounds of justice, or even indulgence. Passing from that subject to the House of Commons, I assure the company that those who belong to the assembly are a body eminently loyal to the Chamber in which they sit, and there is no task more grateful to any member of Parliament, in whatever quarter of the house he may be found, than to be called upon to express his acknowledgments, as one of those mem bers, for those tributes which it receives abundantly in every assembly of our countrymen. (Cheers.) Perhaps if 1 were to attempt to pronounce a giow o i ing eulogy either upon the past or the presentitte d to the House of Commons, I might be efface from my recollection, or at least t P o n e throw emiltyaetlabol:t is the shade, an incident which occurred .not n wtlilt°e necessary for weeks ago. (A laugh.) occurrence. us to regard this or that particular ns is too closely associated of the House of Commons y But itis associated with the character of country and its all necessary remarks t it should be to secure for the history s ub t e o ct in male its mention the welcome always sure of receiv ing from an assembly of Englishmen. I must now w ho is the leader of th e h ouse for the kind thank the right hon. and d istinguished gentl eman terms near in me w hich he has been pleased to refer to me. I assure him with intense satisfaction that I heartily reciprocate the sentiments he has uttered. (Cheers.) The country out of doors do us but justice when they entertain the conviction, warranted by the facts of the case, that amidst those conflicts into which many of us enter, and become engaged n from night to night, the ardour and eager ness with which they fight what they think re spectively are the battles of public interests, are not to be taken as indicating that personal animosities are perpetuated afterwards.

And on this day, when you entertain a sovereign in whom we gladly recognise the distinguished and worthy representative of a sister country, it is with satisfaction we remember that England, if she has sometimes, by particular passages in her history, helped to mislead the nations of the earth, may at all events in the modelling of representative institutions hope to have done them some service. (Hear, hear.) And it is with thank ful satisfaction we observe in more than one part of Europe, but perhaps in none more such distinction and entire success as in Belgium, under the guid ance of its enlightened Sovereign, that assemblies resembling in every essential feature our own House of Commons have been organised, and have taken root as freely and generally as if no portion of such institutions had been copied from abroad, testifying thereby that they are founded upon principles as broad and deep as human nature itself, and that in all future operations of national life they are des tined to contribute largely to the happiness and prosperity of mankind. (Loud cheers.)

During the past few weeks a very general desire has been manifested by the American residents in London to celebrate the anniversary of their country's birth this year in a more public manner than has been the practice in London in times past. It was felt by all Americans here that never before had there been so auspicious an occasion for such a celebration. Their country had been restored, Slavery had been for ever abolished throughout the length and breadth of the land, republican prin ciples had triumphed—and they could not but rejoice. But we did not advise any public demon stration, inasmuch as the estimable Minister of the United States at this Court, and his lady, had issued invitations to most of the prominent and best known Americans in the British metropolis to meet them at an evening reception at their mansion in P t i o o n r tl a w n d a s - pl m a c a e d . e T h Severale refore n A o m p e u r c h a c n s d , e ho o w n setvrea r, forn d ie a d y themselves the country. pic-nic parties, and spent the In the evening Mr. and Mrs. Adams received their countrymen and countrywomen. A large number of invited guests were present, including several well-known American artists, divines, officers of the United States army and navy, edi tors and literary men, and distinguished citizens of the Great Republic. There were no formalities, no toasts nor speeches, and nothing to indicate that the gathering was anything more than an ordinary party would have been on any other night. Cen trally situated in the large reception room, how ever, was an admirable portrait of President Johnson, half hidden in the silken folds of the stars and stripes of his country. This was all to remind the assembled throng of the day they were there to celebrate—and yet we venture the assertion that no happier Fourth of July has ever been spent by Americans in England. Mr. Adams himself is not now, in the eyes of Americans, the man he was five years ago. Then he was simply au honoured and distinguished citizen of the United States—the son and the grandson of a President. .Now he is the great statesman who in a time of unparalleled trial and difficulty upheld the honour of his country, and conducted many delicate negociations in a manner which has won for himself the lore of the American people, and for his country the respect and admiration of the great nation to which he is accredited. And this is the feeling with which Mr. Adams is regarded by his countrymen here. They all felt honoured in grasping his hand, and in con gratulating him and each other on what the Lord had done for them. Every face was cheerful, and yet there was no hilarity ; the assembly was too happy fcr gaiety—their happiness was of that kind which could not expend itself in rockets and Chinese crackers, but only in emotions of thankfulness to the Lord of Hosts who had saved the nation. And when they had assembled around the festive board, and the champaigne flowed, and the good things of this life were spread before them, all felt that their festivities were mingled with praise and with prayer. We have had many Fourth of July demon strations in London—when great public dinners, toasts, speeches, music, and dancing were the em ployments of the day. But surely never before have we had such a reunion as that of last Wednesday night. Nothing could have been more appropriate to the day and the circumstances ; and we trust that Mr. Adams may long live to honour his country at this Court, and to join his countrymen in London in their annual festivities. We ought to have remarked that the company, which numbered about three hundred and fifty, in cluded perhaps one hundred American ladies, who, we think, would have borne favourable comparison as regards personal beauty, tasteful dress, and gentle manners, with any of their high-born English sisters, who lend such grace and elegance to the drawing-rooms of her Majesty the Queen. AMERICAN GOLD.—GoId to the amount of .£100,000,000 is obtained annually from the mines, &e., in America. This is more than the whole of the rest of the world produces in forty years; and more than the mines of Mexico and Peru yielded in their most prosperous days; yet it is supposed to be only one-third of what may be expected in ten years if the Pacific Railway is constructed. —Scientific Review.
