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 availi ng themselves o f th e serv ic e s of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now exl 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 speeialite 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 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,ased comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from 58. Sets from 5t025 g) s., warranted.

Robbery at the Manchester Stamp Office, £7,000 WORTH OF STAMPS STOLEN. Yesterday morning another robbery at the Stamp office, in Cross-street, Manchester, was discovered. About ten years ago the same office was broken open, the thieves on that occasion entering through the door in Cross-street, which faces Market-street, on which occasion about £2,000 worth of stamps were stolen. Since that time great precautions have been taken ; the doors have been lined with iron, and every spot which was thought to -be vulnerable had been protected in the same manner. The mode of attack on this occasion was different from that on the first occasion, and one which displayed con siderable planning beforehand and toil in its exe cution. At the rear of the Stamp -office is a passage communicating from a door in Cross-street to the offices of several firms which occupy the block bounded by Cross-street, New Market-street, and Robinson-street. It is believed that the thieves secreted themselves in some part of the building on Saturday morning, and waited until after business hours, at least before commencing their work. The . officials at the Stamp-officeleft at 12 o'clock atnoon, and the occupants of the other offices in the build ing left at an early hour. The only tenant who was late in the building was Mr. M'Lachlan, the photo grapher, who called about six o'clock, and found the porter who is employed by the Strap-office engaged in cleaning one of the rooms. On the first staircase are the offices of Messrs. Garnett and Horsfall, cotton spinners and manufacturers, The lock of the front office door was forced, and from that room the thieves passed through another door to a store room or warehouse extending to the rear of the building. Here they found a number of bundles of printing cloth, which they subsequently turned to account. Going to the extreme rear of the building, they passed down a temporary flight of wooden stairs which led them to an unoccupied warehouse on the ground floor. Along the Robin son-street wall of that room runs a fixed table, and it was from beneath that table and through the wall separting that room from the Stamp Office that the thieves obtained their entrance to the office of the Hon. R. Howard, the distributor of stamps for this city. Working in a confined space, they cleared away a sufficient portion of the brickwork of a nine inch wall to allow a man to pass through easily. That their work was done with the utmost delibera tion is evident from the fact that all the drawers in the desks belonging to Mr. Howard, and to Mr. B. J. Last, the supervisor of the newspaper stamping department, were opened, and the contents, consist ing chiefly of letters and official documents, care fully examined, but —so far as can be at present ascertained—not removed from the room. The thieves next forced the lock of a door in the parti tion which separates this room by a narrow passage from a door communicating with the Cross-street lobby. From that passage the outer or public office was separated by a door, which was sheathed on both sides by strong iron plates. The lock of that door was forced open, and then the thieves had to work upon the large Milner's safe which contained the stamps. This safe, which is quite a modern one, was sent to the makers about twelve months ago to be made thief proof, and when returned was supposed to be im pregnable. It stood on a low wooden framework in a corner of the room at the angle facing Mount street, and near the first window in Robinson-street stood a large desk. That desk was removed to the middle of the room, and then the bundles of print ing cloth (of which previous mention has been made) were put in its place, so as to form a bed for the safe, which thieves succeeded in overturning. By this means the safe (which is between four and five feet high) was placed upon its side, and the work which the thieves had then to do was rendered much easier. Indeed, it is questionable whether without that removal the safe could have been forced, as owing to the door of the safe opening from the wall towards the office there would not have been suffi cient space to enable the thieves to use that great violence which was required. A hole was drilled in the top of the safe, and wedges were inserted along the edge of the door. Several of these wedges were subsequently found in the office. The safe contained from £6,000 to £B,OOO worth of stamps, including about £l,OOO in postage stamps, the re mainder consisting of receipt stamps, foreign bill stamps (impressed and adhesive), inland bill stamps, probate and administration stamp s , common law court fee stamps, and stamps of o th er d escr i pt i ons. All thestamped paper and p arc h ment was marked with the word " Manchester,” and the date of stamping in a circle. It is esti ma t e d t h at about half the stolen property may be convertible ; and of lnoookin course it is very portable. Secret e d i n t h e safe was about £3O in money ; but, altho ug h t h e thieves ap pear to have taken considerabl e ti me to do every thing, lls was money, any drawer but i n arecess, Every drawer and desk in this office was carefully search e d, b ut no money this (except the small sum secreted i n t h e safe) could be found. The porter had the d u t y o f calling at i oveed t . being the premises every Sunday morning, and did so on Sunday, at about half-past eleven o'clock. He heard no sound. He had access to every part of the Cross street premises, including the cellars where the stamping presses are kept, but was not allowed to enter the Stamp OffiCe premises, and could not do so. The thieves did not confine their operations to the Stamp Office, but forced open the door of Mr. Garnett's private room, and ransacked every drawer in his large writing table. They, however, only suc ceeded in finding a small quantity of stamps, and a little sum of money which was in a purse in one of the drawers. Probably to their finding nothing valu able in this part of the premises may be attributed the fact that they left untouched two iron safes, in which, however, there was nothing more than a little loose money. The manner in which the thieves had provided for their escape was characteristic of the S UBSCRIPTION TESTIMONIAL TO GEORGE ORUIKSHANK. PRESIDENT. JOHN RUSKIN, Esq., IL& VICE-PRESIDENT. Sir W. 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 a rc h es . At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, aro 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 or ph ans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, andhave 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 £3,000 more will be 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 you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of- the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

At the rear of the building, in New Market-street, was a door opening into the room on the ground floor where they worked. That door was secured from within by a large iron bar, which was fastened to a padlock. That padlock was broken off, but to provide for the. apparent security of the door in case it should be tried by a policeman, the thieves screwed on the door a catch lock, and secured it with ' a staple. Probably they were in and out of the build ing, for attached to the bolt of their own lock was a long string, which was passed through a broken square of glass, and through the iron wire grating, which covered the window in the door. In order that this string might not be perceived from without, apin was carefully inserted, which was seen this morning rest ing between two of the wires. A pull at this string instantly and easily opened the door, which was other wise secure. A reward of £4OO has been offered for the detection of the thieves, or such amount as may be proportionate with the value of the property re covered. " • r_.•-1 . 9 " e /~ PRICE.... 4d.

As the people of that tract are under the control of the Sultan of Zanzibar, with whose protection Dr. Livingstone is fully provided, he wrote in the full persuasion that he will not only reach the watershed between his own Lake Nyanza and the Tanganyika of Burton and Speke, but also be able to settle the question as to the elevation and drainage of the latter.

One of its youngest associates, Mr. Whymper, already distinguished by his courage and self reliance in surmounting the highest peaks of the Alps, has conceived the bold idea of penetrating along the surface of its glaciers into the interior of this snow-clad continent, he being convinced, from the great number of deer that find their w a y t o the coast, that there are within the glaciers well-grassed Mr. Whymper believes it is valleys and recesses. also possible to trace by land the extent of Green land to the north, which was one of the main geographical objects of the late projected polar expedition. He would be accompanied only by a well-t ra i ne d D an i s h gu ide, w ho was ready at Copenhagen. A preliminary trip would be made next summer. This enterprise Sir Roderick in' dividual con sidered as truly the ne pl us u lt ra of British geographical adventure. The researches of Russian geographers in Central Asia and Chinese Turkistan were dwelt upon in the address. The whole of the mountain range which formed the boundary between Little Thibet and Turkistan has been defined. The altitude of the peaks for 450 miles varies from 21,000 ft. to 28,300 ft., a very much higher range than that of the Himalayas to the south of Ladak and Little Thibet. At the conclusion of this address Sir Roderick was most warmly applauded, and the meeting then proceeded to the election of officers, the President being unanimously re-elected by acclamation. The other members of the Council, Vice-Presidents, trustees, &c., were then chosen, and the proceedings terminated with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. 7 - Later in the evening the Fellows of the Society, with a number of invited guests, dined together, according to custom, at Willis's-rooms. Sir Ro derick Murchison presided, supported by Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, Viscount Dufferin, the Earl of Enniskillen, the Earl of Sheffield, Lord Blantyre, Lord Houghton, Lord Strangford, Sir Henry Raw- linson, M.P., Sir Thomas Fremantle, Sir Francis Grant, P.R.A., Sir Henry Nicholson, &c. Among others present were Sir A. W. Waugh, Admiral Collinson, Mr. Baker, M. .du Chaffin, the secre taries to the Chinese Commissioners, General Crau ford, Dr. Rae, Captain Wills, Mr. Glaisher, Mr. S. Canning, Mr. S. W. Silver, Captain Blakely, Dr. Hooker, M. de Candolles, &c. In all about 150 gentlemen sat down to a dinner which was excel lent and most admirably served. Except in its numbers it was almost a private entertainment, as there was no music, and the few brief speeches that followed the dinner had no manner of scientific or political significance, but were purely of a festive and complimen tary character. In fact, the business of the day is done at the meeting in the morning, and the dinner which follows is, as it should be, merely a genial wind up to a good day's work. After the cloth had been drawn and the customery loyal toasts done honour to, the chairman gave " The Healths of the Lords and Commons," coupled with the names of Lord Dufferin and Sir Henry Rawlinson. Both replied in the briefest terms, his lordship saying that if the House of Peers had the arrangement of the monetary affairs of the kingdom, he thought he could promise that as far as his exertions went he would do his best to secure for the society a very much larger annual grant in aid of their efforts than the small sum of £5OO which was now given them by the House of Commons. Sir Henry, in replying for the Lower House, created much laughter by saying that he wished more of its members would join the society, for, whatever other information the House might pos sess, it was very weak indeed on the subject of geo graphy—so much so, that when the Fenian raid across the Bay of Fundyin Canada wasfirst spoken of he did notbelieve there were many more than a dozen mem bers in the House who knew where the Bay of Fundy was. Lord Stratford proposed " The Health of the Secretaries of the Chinese Mission, and Prosperity to China," and while he deprecated many parts of our dealings with that great empire, said it at least had had one good effect—that of making the two nations better acquainted with each other, and so lead ing them to appreciate the value of the peaceful com mercial relations which now subsisted between them, and the bonds of which were strengthening every day. The Chairman then gave " The Healths of the Medallists of the day," and after that of M. de Candolles of Geneva. In a short but humorous speech Lord Houghton gave " The Health of the President," to which Sir Roderick replied in a very few words, stating that that day was the twelfth anni versary of his annual address, and he hoped when another year had run its course he would have the great pleasure and pride in seeing all the guests around him after he had delivered his thirteenth. " The Health of Sir Francis Grant" and " The Scientific Societies of London" followed, and a very pleasant evening was brought to a close soon after 10 o'clock. Veto of the Colorado Bill by President Johnson. The President's Veto Message of the Colorado Bill is as follows : " To the Senate of the United States—.. " I return to the Senate, in which house it origi nated, the bill which has passed both Houses of Congress, entitled ' An act for the admisQion of the State of Colorado into the Union,' with my objec tions to its' becoming a law at this time. " First. From the best information which I have been able to obtain, I do not consider the establish ment of a State Government at present necessary for the welfare of the people of Colorado. Under the existing territorial government all the rights, privileges and interests of the citizens are protected and secured. The qualified voters choose their own legislatures and their own local officers, and are represented in Congress by a delegate of their own selection. "They make and execute their own municipal laws, subject only to revision by Congress, an authority not likely to be exercised unless in extreme or extra ordinary cases. The population is small, some esti mating it so low as twenty-five thousand, while the advocates of the bill reckon the number at from thirty-five thousand to forty thousand. The people are principally recent settlers, many of whom are understood to be ready for removal to other mining districts, beyond the limits of the territory, if cir cumstances shall render them more inviting. "Such a population cannot but find relief from ex cessive taxation if the territorial system, which de volves the expenses of the executive, legislative and judicial departments upon the United States, is for the present continued. They cannot but find the security of person and property increased by their reliance upon the national executive power for the maintenance of law and order against the disturb ances necessarily incident to all newly-organised communities. " Second. It is not satisfactorily established that a majority of the citizens of Colorado desire or are prepared for an exchange of a territorial for a State Government. In September, 1831, under the autho rity of Congress, an election was lawfully appointed and held for the purpose of ascertaining the views of the people. " Upon this particular question 6,192 votes were cast, and of this number a majority of 3,152 was September, w:a proposedl 1 t change.. ,ity, , the given B6s7 against without the anyleg a question ln again presented to the people of the territory, w ith the view of obtaining a re-consideration of the re sult of the election held in compliance with the act of Congress approved March 21st, 1864. At this second election 5,905 votes were polled, and a small majority of 155 was given in favour of a State organisation. It does not seem to me entirely safe to receive this last mentioned result, so irregularly obtained, to out-weigh the one which had been legally obtained in the first election. Regularity and conformity to law are essential to the preserva tion of order and stable government, and should, as far as practicable, always be observed in the formation of new States. " Third. The admission of Colorado at this time as a State into the Union appears to me to be incom patible with the public interests of the country. While it is desirable that territories, when suffi ciently matured, should be organised as States, yet the spirit of the constitution seems to require that there should be an approximation towards equality among the several States comprising the Union. No State can have less or more than two Senators in Congress. The largest State has a population of 4,000,000. Several other States have a population exceeding 2,000,000, and many others have a popu lation exceeding 1,000,000. If this bill should be come a law, the people of Colorado, 30,000 in num ber, would have in the House of Representatives one member, while New York, with a population of 4,000,000, has but 31. Colorado would have in the Electoral College three votes, while New York has only 33. Colorado would have in the Senate two votes, while New York has no more. Inequalities of this chiumeter have already occurred, but it is believed none have happened where the inequality was so great. " When such inequality has been allowed, Con gress is supposed to have committed it on the ground•of some high public necessity, and under circumstances which promised that it would rapidly disappear through the growth and development of the newly-admitted State. Thus, in regard to the several States in what was formerly called the ' north-west territory,' lying east of the Mississippi, their rapid advance in population rendered it cer tain that States admitted with only one or two re presentatives in Congress would, in a very short period, be entitled to a great increase of represen tation. So, when California was admitted on the ground of commercial and political exigencies, it was well foreseen that that State was destined rapidly to become a great, prosperous and impor tant mining and commercial community. " In the case of Colorado I am not aware that any national exigency, either of a political or com mercial nature, requires a departure from the law of equality which has been so generally adhered to in our history. " Information submitted in connection with this bill is reliable; Colorado, instead of increasing, has declined in populasion. At an election for members of a territorial legislature, held in 1861, ten thou sand five hundred and eighty votes were cast. At the election before mentioned, in 1864, the number of votes cast was six thousand one hundred and ninety-two, v hile at the regular election held in 1865, which is assumed for a basis of legislative ac tion at this time, the aggregate number of the votes was five thousand nine hundred and five. " Sincerely anxious for the welfare and prosperity of every Territory and State, as well as for thepros perity and welfare of the whole Union, I regret this apparent decline. of population in Colorado —but it is manifest that it is due to emigration, which is going on from that territory into other regions within the United States, which either are in fact, or are believed by the inhabitants of Colorado, to be richer in mineral wealth and agricultural resources. If, however, Colorado has not really declined in population, another census or another election under the authority of delay in the ultimate admiss ic ion place the question beyond doubt and The tenour of these rr se e i s t l: o u ry t w liltl a e state if desired by the re favour of the measure pected to an argumen act, n t d h C e ocan te u which was passed by derived from the enabling _ _ _ arch, 1864. Although t t ie i : P reply which may be ex objections furnishes supposed the condition of the terri tory Congress then owarrant its admission as a state, was s uch as t years' experience shows that every the result of two existed for the institution of a terri torial which state Congress on the 21st day of M Government in Colorado organisation still continues in force. The Is first : o t n i dition of the Union at the present moment is cal culated to inspire caution in regard to the admis sion of new States. Eleven of the old States have been for some time, and still remain, unrepresented torial instead of a . in Congress. It is a common interest of all the States, as well those represented as those unrepre sented, that the integrity and harmony of the Union should be restored as completely as possible, so that all those who are expected to bear the burdens of the Federal Government shall be consulted con cerning the admission of new States, and that in the meantime no new State shall be prematurely and unnecessarily admitted to a participation in th political power which the Federal Government individual States or section, but for the common safety, welfare, and wields, not for the benefit of any happiness of the whole country. ar.NDREW JOHNSON.

The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, and the usual routine business having been transacted, The SECRETARY read the report of the council for the year. This said that the number of Fellows has again been largely increased during the year. Since the last report 157 new members have been elected —namely, 151 ordinary, 1 honorary, and 5 hono rary corresponding ; but during the year the society has lost 81 Fellows, five of whom were honorary corresponding ; V have been lost by death, 22 by resignation, and 2 have been removed by order of the council. The total number on the list at the end of April was 2,089 ordinary, 5 honorary, and 63 honorary corresponding members. At the same date last year the number of ordinary members was 1,997, and in the previous year (1864) 1,907. The balance-sheet shows that the receipts (exclusive of balance in hand) exceeded the estimate by the sum of £302 18s. 3d., and that the expenditure has fallen short of the estimated amount by £305 15s. 7d. In consequence of these favourable results the council have been enabled to add £l,OOO India Five per Cents. to the funded property, notwithstanding the large sum of £BOO spent in expeditions ; but the anticipated balance in hand has been thereby re duced to £99 4s. 10d. The society's income was, in 1865, £4,905 Bs. 3d. ; and in 1864, £4,977 Bs. 6d. The expenditure in 1865 was £4,307 4s. 5d., and in 1864 £3,647 7s. 10d. The increase in the expendi ture last year is accounted for by the large sum spent in the promotion of expeditions. The funded property of the society now amounts to £13,500, £11,500 of which are invested in New 3 per Cents., and £2,000 in India 5 per Cents. ; £l,OOO have been added since December 31, 1865, the end of the financial year. The council have again the pleasure of reporting an increase in the sale of publications during the past year, the amount being £124 4s. 4d. In.the year 1864 the total sales were £lO5 12s. 7d., and in 1863 £65 Bs. Bd. Four hundred and six volumes of geographical and other works have been added to the library since the last report, and the map collection has been increased by accessions considerably above the average, consisting of £2,109 sheets of maps and charts, nine atlases, and seven diagrams. Large diagrams of Asia, the Malay Archipelago, South America, and the world, on Mercator's projection, are being prepared. During the year the sum of £BOO was ex pended in grants to travellers to promote new explorations. Of this £5OO was given to Dr. Livingstone, in aid of his expedition to the lakes of Central Africa; £lO2 7s. 9d. to Sir Henry James, towards the expenses of the settlement of the level of ' the Dead Sea, undertaken by Captain Wilson, R.E. ; £143 Os. 6d., in money and instru ments, to Mr. R. B. N. Walker, who is exploring Western Equatorial Africa from the Gaboon ; and £5O, in addition to £5O previously given, to M. Gerhard Rohlfs, who has undertaken a journey to the Sultan of Waday, in the hope of recovering the papers of the unfortunate Vogel. During the pre sent year the sum of £250 has already been given to travellers in aid of expeditions, the details of which appear in the estimate for the current year's expenses. This report having been unanimously adopted, Sir Roderick Murchison proceeded to award the Royal medals given yearly by the society for the encour agement of geographical science and discovery. The first of these, the Founder's Medal, was presented to Dr. Thomas Thomson, M.D., F.R.S., for his ex ploration of the Western Himalayas and Thibet, and for his work thereon, in which he described for the first time the true physical geography of those regions, as well as their botany and geology, and the marks of glacial action in those lofty mountains. The Patrons' Medal was awarded to Mr. William ' Chandless, M.A. (his brother receiving it for him), for his recent unaided exploration of the river Purus from its mouth on the river Amazon nearly to its source, a distance of 1,866 miles, and for laying down the course of this previously undefined great stream by a continuous series of astronomical obser vations of latitude and longitude, and compass bearings. A purse containing 100 guineas was next presented to M. du Chaffiu to reimburse him for the loss of his instruments in Western Africa, and also as a testimonial of the value of his services to the geography and chartography of the region he explored. A gold watch was also awarded to Noola-Abdul-Medjid, for services rendered to geographical scienceby his adventurous journey from Peshawur to Kokand along the upper valley of the Oxus, and across the Pamir steppes—a new clause having been added to the regulations of the society, empowering them to admit on the free list a very limited number of gentlemen to the fellowship. Sir RODERICK MURCHISON rose and delivered his annual address. This document, as is always the case, was of a voluminous nature, and occupied a considerable time in reading. From its great length it is barely possible to do more than give the briefest abstract of the chief points it touched upon. After referring at length to the losses which the society had sustained in the deaths of Lord Palmerston, Dr. Whewell, Admiral Sir William Smyth, Sir William Hooker, Dr. Barth, Sir John Richardson, and other eminent men, the address went on to allude to the labours of the hydrographic department of the Admiralty in making surveys on shore and afloat. In almost all parts of the world these had been car ried on with unusual vigour during the past year, 63 new charts had been published, and the number printed had been 169,000. After referring to the progress made by the Meteorological Department of the Board of Trade, and also to the recent eruption of a crater near the island of Santorin, which Sir Roderick believed by affording an escape to the pent-up gases would eventually be a benefit - to the island by diminishing the earthquakes which had hitherto been so severely felt there, the address went on to refer to the explorations in E q uatorial Africa. Sir Roderick stated that he had learnt with great satisfaction, through a letter o f Dr. Living stone, dated the 24th of March , to his daughter, that he had reached the mouth of the Rovuma River in an Arab dhow, with his followers and six camels, three asses, and three buff aloes. As it was found impracticable to ascend the Rovuma with their vessel, or to disembark the animals on its • Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., i 4 IRK ABBE Y.
