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 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 System of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a speciality nertaining 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 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, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from ss. Sets from 5 to 25 gs., warranted.

No connection with any one of the same name. Her Majesty's Ship Pallas. Following upon the contractor's trial of her ma chinery on the 11th inst., and in accordance with the arrangements of the Controller of the Navy, the armoured screw corvette Pallas 6 guns, 2,372 tons, 600-horse power, Capt.MatthewConnolly, made her trials of speed with full and half-boiler power, at her sea-going draught of water, over the measured mile in Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth, yesterday, the results being satisfactory in the highest degree as regards the machinery of the ship, but not quite so satisfactory in relation to the ship herself, if the rate of speed she attained with full-boiler power is considered simply in conjunction with the extraor dinary power developed by her engines and the im mersed area of her midship section or displacement. The Pallas is 225 ft. in length between perpendicu lars, with an extreme breadth of 50ft. On leaving Spithead for Stokes Bay yesterday morning her draught of water was—forward 18ft. 3in., and aft 24ft. lin. The height of her gun deck from the water-line was, at the bow port till, 10ft. ;at central battery port culls, Bft. ; at after port till in the captain's cabin, Bft. sin. The propelling power of the ship consists of a pair of engines, manufactured by Messrs. Humphreys and 'Tennant, of the collective nominal power of COO horses. The specifications of the Admiralty in their contract for these engines, as also for those ordered at the same time for the Bellerophon, Lord Clyde, and Lord Warden, stipulated that they should exert six times their nominal power with boilers of he size usually employed by the Admiralty—viz., 9ft. of heating surface and 7-10ths of a square fool of fire-bar to the nominal power. The boilers of the Pallas, therefore, have 11.400 square feet of heating surface, and 420 square feet of fire-bar. As the source of power in all engines is the coal burnt, and as all boilers`supplied to the Admiralty are as nearly alike in their proportions as possible, it follows that the quantity of coal burnt will be in direct propor tion to the size of the furnaces—i.e., to the area of fire-bar—and hence the perfection of the engines of the four ships must be measured by their de velopment of power, if all other things can be ren dered equal. The engines of the Pallas are built on the system known as " Woolf's," each engine having two cylinders—the smaller one, into which the steam first enters from the, boilers, being 51in. in diameter, and the large cylinder, into which the steam expands from the smaller one, having a dia meter of 102 in. The length of stroke with both is 3ft. 3in., and the contract speed is 75 revolutions per minute. The surface condensers arc of the kind introduced by the late Mr. Samuel Hall in 1830, and are of sufficiently ample dimensions to condense all the steam generated by the boilers, and without the aid of injection water. The engines drive a two-bladed Griffith screw with a diameter of 18ft. 6in., and a stroke of 181 t. The weather was beau tifully fine and favourable for the occasion, the wind being very light and variable in direction, with the sea as smooth as a glass mirror. The officials and others on board comprised Rear-Admiral G. G. Wellesley, Mr. E. J. 'feed, Chief Constructor of the Navy ; Commander Brett, of her Majesty's ship Asia, Steam Reserve officer in charge of trial; Capt. Herbert of her Majesty's ship Royal Sovereign ; Messrs. Murray and Ward, steam factory depart ment ; Mr. Murdoch, Steam Reserve department ; Mr. Brain, assistant -master shipwright ; Mr. H. E. Humphreys, master of the ship's engines, &c. Six runs were first made with full boiler power with the following results :—speed of the ship, knots. —lst, 14.220; 2d, 11.465; 3d, 15.000; 4th, 10.942; sth, 15.254 ; 6th, 10 . 778.

'Ship's mean speed, 11.077 knots. , Indicated horse-power of engines, 3,768. The rudder, with the ship motionless, can be put over to an angle of 35 de g. each way. The engines worked i n a most astonishingly even and satisfactory atisfactor manner during the w h o l e o f th e 10 runs, maintaining their SO revolutio ns ' spee d an d up wards throughout the full-power runs in a manner never before excelled. Some little delay took place at the commencement of the trial from the boilers unexpectedly priming, which, however, was soon got over, and all went smoothly enough afterwards. The height of the bow waves, as compared with those raised by the ship's submerged beak on the 11th inst., was about lft. less, and none of the bow watermade entry, as on the previous occasion, by the vessel's hawsepipe. This difference in height and volume of bow water was owing to the fact of there being no movement of the sea yesterday, whereas on the for mer trial there was movement. The ship carries two distinct waves, it may be said, in front of her mid ship section, one being the great bow wave thrown up by her beak, and the other rising under the after part of the fore channels, a chasm of .water separat ing the two. At half-boiler power these waves were I reduced to one-fourth of their size as exhibited with full-boiler power. The shipsteered remarkably easy, half a spoke of the wheel throwing her instantly off in the direction -desired. A careful and impartial analysis of the trialfigures will bring out the following important inferences : 1. The indicated horse - Power and revolutions of speed due to her engine power from her displacement. 3. The loss on her estimated original rate is ()win,/ to the alterations made in her hull, dis p l acement ' and rig since she was first designed, and on the Tate due from her engine power to her displacement to the speed-destroying qualities of her ram bow. The Pallas is one of the earliest vessels designed by Mr. Reed for the navy. She, in common also, to some extent, with the Bellerophon, has been con structed with the long submerged " ram" bow, bor rowed from the French theory as exemplified by M. upuy de Lilme, in the partially-plated ships Magenta and Solferino. This ram theory Mr. Reed claims to have considered altogether apart from his U shaped bow system, the one being given to assure striking power, and the other to insure buoy ancy and speed ; and it is, therefore, necessary this not unimportant distinction should be borne in mind in forming any judgment of the steaming powers of the Pallas. It is "this long, submerged _ . prow, or ram, which creates such immense waves under the bows of the Pallas and Bellerophon, the first-named ship creating the greaterwaves from her greater prow, but this peculiarity is also certainly shared, although in a much less degree than theto3 ships named, by other vessels designed and set afloat as yet by Mr. Reed, but which cannot be placed on the same level as rams with the Pallas and Belle- rophon, having been constructed with his U floor and bluff bow lines, but not with the projecting ram bow of the French. There is, however, an un- doubted affinity of form between Mr. Reed's U lines and M. Dupuy de Lome's ram, the latter being apparently but an exaggerated prolongation of the former. Possibly the Constructor of the French navy was the original promoter of the ram scheme, for there are indications that our own Chief Con- structor does not place such implicit faith in the principle as many persons may suppose. In the Pallas as a " ram," he has given the double plough coulter shaped projection to her bow in its full de velopment, but with the Bellerophon the principle is very much modified, in the Hercules it has under gone a still further modification, and in the new fore body of the Danae, now setting up in Ports mouth yard, the " ram" form is not to be found, even with the Amazon outline, but instead the U lines of Mr. Reed's fore-body are blended near the vessel's stein With the V formed entrance as under. hood by all ordinary shipbuilders. The introduc• on of bluff submerged bows in the lines of iron• clad steamships was; somewhat bold measure, but it promised to give a ship of moderate length the necessary buoyancy to carry her guns and armour-plating at a certain line of flotation, and for this reason alone it .was defensible as an ex periment in common with all other building of ironclad ships of war. But arguments were put for ward in support of the plough bow, which were of so wildly theoretical a character, so entirely opposed to all recognised and natural laws, that they natu rally provoked considerable discussion. Shortly stated, they are to the effect that a certain amount of water lies in front of a ship's midship section, which must be got rid of, and the sooner this is done l i the better for the ship's speed. The plough bow breaks up this water, and rolls it up in immense waves under the vessel's bows, which, says M. Dupuy de Lome and friends, " cannot obstruct the ship in her progress through the water, as they are travelling in the same direction as the ship." All ships built with the French " ram" bow, whether from the designs of Mr. Reed or others, as in the case of the turret rain Arminius, built by Mr. Samuda, threw up enormous waves round their bows when under full steam power, as the action of the ram in ploughing the water up in double curved furrows, and therefore required no apologetic theory for what was their certain and natural action. But a " ram" bow is decidedly not the form of bow to be given to any vessel intended to obtain the highest rate of speed due from her hull displacement to her engines developed power. The Pallas's trials fur nish convincing proofs of this. In all the trials off the Maplin Sands, in the engineer's trial of the Wight on the 11th instant, and the speed trials in Stokes'-hay yesterday, the permanent height of the waves thrown up in curves round round her bows, with their foam covering of hissing waters, which leapt and tumbled round the ship's head, was some thing wonderful to behold. Any one competent to form an opinion on the subject and who witnessed the trial of the Pallas yesterday and the tempest of water under her bows could not but admit that all this water could not be ploughed and beaten up in such, a manner with a less force than one-fifth of the indicated power of the ship's engines. To a " ram" proper such an absorption of power may be correct. To a vessel not built for a " ram" such an absorption of power would be its utter waste without a grain of benefit in return. So conclusively, indeed, have the trials of the Pallas proved the unsuitableness of the ram bow for speed that it is not probable its serious advocacy for our ships of war will ever be renewed in England, or that the Pallas's form 'of bow will ever be repro duced in the bows of any- other ship laid down in future for her Majesty's navy. Apart from the ram question, however, the expressed great aim of Mr. Reed since he has held the office of Chief Con structor of the Navy has been to introduce a class of vessel that should, by her moderate length and im provedtype of engine, possess the maximum amount of manoeuvring power obtainable with the single screw, and at the same time approximate closely in speed with that of our longest, and certainly most unhandy ships. In turning or manoeuvring . power Mr. Reed has already demonstrated his successwith the Belleiophon and Pallas, but he has yet to make good his promise with regard to the speed of his ships. At present he appears to have clung too closely in all his vessels, always supposing that the Bellerophon and Pallas are simply " rams," to the round French bow to get the rate of speed he wants, and to have also rushed from the extreme of length over beam to beam over length, although in all this he has been but the servant of the Admiralty, em bodying their wishes and ideas in a certain desired form. If the course now being pursued with the altered fore body of the Danae is pursued by Mr. Reed in designing his new ships, he may yet obtain his desire, and by cramming a ship of the propor tionate length to beam of the Bellerophon with extra engine power may give her a rate of speed which, combined with her superior handiness, shall render her a far more valuable ship than a vessel of greater length and slightly superior in speed. To attain this extent of excellence he must lengthen his bows and blend his U floor plan with the sharp V bow form, both of which courseshe has pursued now with the Danae. As the' Pallas lies at anchor at Spithead, she has, externally, not one redeeming point of beauty to counteract the general ugliness of appearance given to her hull by her round bows, conical stern, and indented side's, notwithstanding that her projecting beak is hidden above the water by a false head. She carries a good broad belt of armour round the water line, and from this belt, centrally, rises her square armour-cased battery 40ft. in length by 50ft. in width. This battery is pierced with two gun ports on each side, and by indenting the ship's side at each end of the battery a kind of inner sponson is formed of part of the vessel's main deck, which gives a line of fire from the forward and after end ports of the battery clear of the- ship's sides at about 20 deg. out of line with the ship's keel. The arrangements of the ship inboard and the amount of spac e available for the officers and crew, as well as for the stowagee of stores of all kinds, is really admir a ble, while the evident b e en turned ' care with which the ship had _ out of hand, even down to t he minutest particulars of her equipment, -furnishes - am ple -evidence that neither cost nor time had been spared T to render everything as perfect of its kind as possible. he upper deck bulwarks are somewhat remarkable, as being very much lower than usual, but this gives good command of view around the ship, and at the same time is quite high enough for all practical use. The deck gives ample room for working the ship under sail. The main deck is divided into three portions—after deck, central, and forward. The after deck contains abaft all the captain's roomy suite of cabins, the after one containing an Arm strong 110-pounder breechloader mounted and peering over the ship's sternpost. Next the cap tain's suite of cabins come, on the starboard and port sides of the deck, officer's cabins—the senior lieutenant and the master, with offices for the pay master and the clerks. Forward of these are spaces set apart with tables as reading and recreation rooms for the seamen and marines. The central portion of the deck comes next' to the recreation rooms, and consists of the ship's square-armoured battery. In this are mounted four 6f -ton wrought iron rifled muzzle-loading guns, mounted on wooden carriages and slides fitted with eccentric rollers on Capt. Key's plan, and unencumbered with special training gear. Round the walls of the battery are tastefully disposed rifles, revwoiltvherssh, obot,arde:pgtypsihk3esil: cks rou n d the base of the c a u n t d la f s u s ll es, sh a e n l d l r t o a n m g a e h d a in w k r s a , wa lls. The fore-deck carries one 110-pounder breech -loading Armstrong for chasing, and at the sides are abins and a mess-room 'for 'tire warrant officers, a sick bay, seamen's, stoker's, and engineers, lavatories and baths, cooking galley, &c., with large space amidships, given by the vessel's broad bows, available for working the cables in weighing anchor. On the lower deck the .wardroom holds the usual position at the after end, somewhat dark, but e very capacious. Succeeding to the ward-room is th gun room, or midshipmen's berth, engineers' berth, stewards' pantries, &c., and forward of these the general lower deck. This latter is of unusual space for a vessel of the Pallas's tonnage, only half of it, indeed, being occupied by the crew of the ship, with nine mess-tables on each side, leaving room forward of these for six or eight more tables on each side, all the fittings for which are on board, should they ever be required. The ship's hold is equally capa cious with the lower deck, possessing excellent stow age capacity. The crew of the Pallas, officers and men, all told, is 250, amply sufficient to work her six guns under any circumstances, but totally in sufficient to handle and work the ship under steam or sail in all the conditions in which she may be placed when on active service.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SPRING MEETING.—WEDNESDAY. A day of rest and thankfulness after the uproar and confusion of the previous one, with a quiet attendance and quiet racing, in which there was nothing to greatly excite one. Mr. Pitt met the Two Thousand horse Janitor in the £lOl Plate over the Rowley mile, and defeated him cleverly, coming into notice for the Chester Cup both before and after the race. Some interest was excited by the meeting of The Duko and Breadalbane in a sweepstakes over the T.Y.C., and a close race was expected, but Lord Hastings's horse won with ease, Breadalbane never being able to ex tend him. The Two-Year-old Plate brought out a good field of 17 runners, of which Lady Hester and Hippia wore alone backed, Baron Rothschild's filly winning with ex treme ease. The Baron is rather celebrated for carrying off this plate, having won it in previous years with Tomato and Evelina.

It 'is with infinite gratification that I recognise amongst the signatures to this invitation the names of the most distinguished houses of Europe, and those of men whose abilities and enterprise have mainly contributed to elevate and susta in the high cha racter of British commerce throughout the world. Next to the consciousness of having done my duty, according to my humble abilities, in the station in which it has been the will of Providence to place me, and to the distinction of having attracted the approbation of those in high authority, I shall value this record of the esteem and confidence of those amongst whom it has been my good fortune to spend so large a portion of mylife, and for many of whom personally I entertain the warmest feelings of re gard. It is, therefore, with sincere regret that I find myself compelled by considerations and circumstances attendant on my almost immediate departure for the United States to signify to you my inability to avail myself of the honour so kindly intended for me. With earnest wishes for your continued and ncreasing prosperity, I am, with great respect, very 'aithfully yours, (Signed) GEORGE PEABODY. To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Messrs.

Mr. Byers, the innkeeper who was shot in the neck by Mr. Sutcliffe, at Glasnevin, some time ago, appeared yesterday at the Capel-street Police-court to give evidence in the case. Mr. Sutcliffe was also present, and surrendered to his bail. Byers declined to prosecute, stating that he conscientiously believed the whole occurrence was accidental. It is said that he has received pecuniary compensation for the in jury he sustained. Mr. Sutcliffe was then discharged. The:two men in custody for shooting a man named Brophy in Thomas-street were again remanded by Mr. Allen yesterday, the wounded man being still in a precarious state. From a report -furnished to the Government by Dr. Neilson Hancock on the deposits in joint-stock banks in Ireland, it appears that the increase of £2,628,376 during the year 1865—viz., from £14,422,176 in 1861 to £17,050,552 in 1865—was greater than the largest previous increase in one year—viz., of £2,510,233, from £7,263,091 in 1851 to £10,773,324 in 1852. It also appears that the increase of £4,083,821 in the last two years ex ceeded the withdrawals during the four bad years, 1860-63, by £1,008,412, so that the deposits, £17,050,552, at the end of 1865 exceeded by £1,000,000 the previous maximum of £16,042,140 in 1859. The deposits of £17,050,552 are more than. twice the amount in 1850—viz., 18,268,838, and three times the amount in 1840—vis., 15,567,851. Considered with reference to changes in population, the deposits in 1840 were 13s. 7d. per head of popu- lation ; in 1850, £1 2s. Id. ; in 1860, £2 14s. Id. ; and in 1865, £3 35., or nearly five times the amount per head of population as in 1840.

Upon the larger question of the wealth of Ireland, as compared with other portions of the United Kingdom, the extraordinary advan tages which England and Scotland enjoy over Ire land in mines and minerals, and consequently in ma nufactures, have led to an equally remarkable accu mulation of capital. One bank—the London and Westminster—holds for bank deposits, circular notes, and other money payable on demand, no less a sum than £12,224,571. The Irish returns include deposits alone , but if even the cash balances were added, the sum in all the banks would not much exceed what is held by one English bank : . the depot soldier named John O'Leary, returning . depot of his regiment in Ireland, laAt night committed' suicide by leaping overboard h Dublin, Nymph steamer, bound from Ho IYdhealecidentally ; or was drowned by falling ovefttr. which.
