HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrlp ti-n of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished fro n the originals by the closest observer ; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pain ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in mastication. 52, Fleet-street. At home from 10 till 5. Second Edition, extra cloth, price is. 6d., 91niE LITTLE THINGS OF NATURE.

The police-officer should be restored to his post again—the honest man will not fear him, the rogue will. If we can weed out only one-half of the 75 per cent. of profes sional " cadgers" who now disgust the work house masters and taint the very name of casual, some better relief could be afforded to the workmen in search of work, or the honest woman in search of her husband, than the regulation six ounces of bread and pint of skilly. It is a shame that in consequence of the bad behaviour of tramps an honest man receives worse treatment from the workhouse authorities than the felon. If a man commits a robbery and is sent to Portland, he gets for his breakfast a pound of bread, a pint of cocoa, and two ounces of cheese. If he is simply honest, and wants a lodging for the night, he has six ounces of bread and a basin of gruel ! Can wo wonder that those who are dishonestly inclined prefer the prison? Aud let us imagine the conditions under which a poor man seeks the casual ward in a work house. He is mentally and physically depressed by being out of work and food; there is. in his heart a secret resentment against society, which he holds reponsible for this want ; just when in this frame of mind, the Poor-law pro vides for him a sort of club, in which he is thrown in contact with cadgers and tramps. He hears their fine stories, their adventures, he is put up to their dodges for living upon the commu nity, and for thieving between whiles. Is it won derful that scholars in this frame of mind should become victims to such apt masters? But we ask, is it not infamous that the law should lend itself to such a teaching ? To throw the honest man, under such circumstances, cheek by jowl with the profes sional tramp or thief is a moral offence which is avenged by the moral law. If we knowingly foster the cadger class and deliberately bring them in con tact with the poor creature wavering upon the edge of criminalty, we establish a school of thieves which is certain to be more successful than any that is pre sided over by the art of Fagan. ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES. The Birmingham and Midland " Freedman's Aid Association" have published their second annual Report, and we are happy to state that this charitable institution has attained a fair measure of sup port. The tremendous revolution worked in the South by the American war has there disorganised society to an extent which we can here little appre ciate. It is easy to state that four millions of slaves were at once emancipated in a certain number of States of the Union, and sldvery for ever abolished as an institution of the United States. . But it requires no light strain of the mind to take in and appreciate this fact. It must be remembered that on slavery was built up the society of the South. Two races intimately intermixed in all the relations of life, generation succeeding generation on the same soil, the one the lord and master, the other the slave and servant, suddenly found the relation in which they stood to each other severed. To ac complish this—the greatest fact of this century—the lord and master had to be overthrown in arms, and to complete the work it was necessary to employ a portion of the servants and slaves. The effect was to debase in his own eyes the most arrogant and domineering race in Christendom, and to leave these millions of untaught negroes in the midst of their former masters to their own resources. The knot of slavery was emphatically a Gordian knot, impossible to untie except by the means used by Alexander the Great. The sword was the only so lution, which, though it forcibly severed, did nothing to reunite. The task it left —to rebuild the edifice overthrown—is one of the greatest which has fallen to the lot of man to accomplish. We are thankful that this task has fallen into the most able hands. It might be a matter of despair to any other people than those of the States of North America. Even to them the difficulties are almost overwhelming, and in the work they require the countenance and support of all good' en. To furnish these is the object of the Freedmen's Aid Association. The Report informs us that " they have thus far fulfilled the pledge given, and more than realised the hopes expressed at the anniversary celebrated June 13th, 1865. Meanwhile the character and prospects of the freedmen have obviously im proved ; still, while much suffering has been pre vented, removed, or mitigated, and many schools and orphanages have been established, very much remains to be done by their friends on both sides of the Atlantic. Last year they reported receipts of money, £1,821; this year, £5,701. Last year the whole, both goods and money remitted, was over £7,000 ; this year they considerably exceed £17,000." Nor does this represent all : the differ ence in value is enormously increased when the articles are received in America, being admitted by the Government " duty free," and conveyed by the liberality of the large shipowners from Liverpool free of freight. The Committee express their warmest thanks to Messrs. Inman and Co., Messrs. Guion and Co., Messrs. Grimshaw and Co., Messrs. Rathbone, Brothers, and Co., the Cunard Co., and the National Steam Boat Co., for their continued generosity shown in forwarding 700 packages from Liverpool to America for 'the freedmen during the year, making a total of 1,151 in all. They include in this acknowledgment Elihu Burritt, Esq., United States Consul in Birminghau, for his disinterested aid and uniform courtesy. no b tteo l h e nB a : ched cotton cloth.

Besides alleviating the sufferings of the freed men under the peculiar circumstances in which they are placed, the Association have strongly directed their attention to aid in the establishment of schools and orphanages, and have been cheered by the diligence and success of their pupils, both old and young. Schooling is felt to be the pressing necessity of the transition period. Education is a matter of State prerogative and regulation, not that of the Federal Government, and little encourage ment is 1040 for, considering the antipathy of the South generally to the elevation of the negro. While lessening their physical suffering and pro viding for their moral well-being, the Committee turn to the material advancement of the race. For this purpose they use a portion of their funds to take advantage of the " Homestead Act," by which every loyal freedman above 21 years of age can have an 80-acre allotment of public land in either Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, or Florida, on payment of $5. This law provides that, if at the end of five years the land shall have been held and cultivated by an applicant, a patent, giving him a legal title, will be issued on payment of $5 more.

NEWS FROM ABROAD.—The Memorial Dtplomatique, on the authority of a London correspondent, announces that the armaments of Great Britain are being increased upon a vast scale. The same correspondent states that "Mr. Disraeli has prepared a Reform Bill much more liberal than that which was proposed by Mr. Glad stone. The new bill will confer the electoral franchise upon every Englishman possessing a home and paying taxes. It is universal suffrage, excluding the indigent, rimival, and vagabond classes." NEWSPAPER ZbliA .1 x 4t. t.„4 The Great Western Mil Oil - k tp Almost all the great companies having kern, London carry daily large quantities of 'frit k. o take the Great IVestern for example—in a single week iu the current year, notwithstanding the Cattle plague, as much as 66,000 gallons have been deli vered at Paddington Station. This en6rinous quan tity required about 5,000 cans for its conveyance. These tall brass-bound taper vessels are sufficiently familiar objects to almost everybody as to render description They are to b e see n on the passenger unnecessar y. platforms, and not at the out-of-sight goods stations; the milk being in all cases, for rt.; pidity of transit, conveyed by passenger trains: It is difficult to realise sach a quantity as 66,000. gal lons, or the number of cows required to produce the quantity, or the area of land necessary for grazing and feeding the vast herd. The average yield of milch kine is very variously estimated, the range between the lowest and the largest yields is very wide indeed according to the breed of the cows, being from one quart a day to twenty. Assuming eight quarts as a fair average, and dividing the 66,,000 gallons over the seven days of the week—for cows have to be milked and hens persist in laying on Sun days, whether it be proper or not for railways to utilise their produce—we have 9,428 gallons deli vered per day, or 37,712 quarts, which at eight quarts per day each is the produce of 4,714 cows. If 21 acres are allowed for grazing and feeding each cow, we have an aggregate for the herd of 11,785 acres, or about 18 square miles, and this, in rela tion to the delivery at only one out of half a dozen milk-carrying London lines, and exclusive of the butter and cheese sent by the same or other graz ing districts. In quoting the delivery of 66,000 gallons a maximum rather than an average quantity has been stated. Unfortunately for the consumers of milk the quantities delivered by rail fluctuate greatly from season to season, and even week to week. The family order for milk is tolerably con stant for one week to another, or even from month to month, but the deliveries of milk at the Great Western and other stations will sometimes vary by 10,000 gallons in one week as compared with that immediately preceding or following it. If the milk dealers only resorted to " the cow with the iron tail" to make up the deficiency there would be no serious harm done, but it is to be feared that the " experts" in the milk trade resort to tricks for giv ing even water pure and simple the appearance of rich milk without imparting any of its nutritive properties, and this renders the genuine milk to which the villanous sophisticator is applied not stale merely, but absolutely putrid in a few hours. It was doubtless the milk so tampered with that Dr. Druitt referred to as the means of effectually quieting babies who are a burden to their unnatural or profligate mothers. The milk delivered daily at the Padding ton station comes from some of the richest graZing districts in England, the supply being mainly from Berks, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, tux' Wilts. On the West Midland line considerable quantities come from Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the- Wold, and thereabouts. Oa the main line consign ments of milk are received daily from almost every station, as far as Bath inclusive. Swindon station alone sends 800 to 900 cans daily ; Wootton Bassett and Chippanham, celebrated as cheese markets, also send large quantities.—Railway News. •;a• ,44 , - THE SUN LONDON, INIONDAY EVENING% 00 roBER 1, 1866.

The fall Board of Admiralty, under the presi dence cf Sir John Pakington, 111. P., made their first inspection of the naval lepartments at Wool wich on Thursday. Iu company with the first Lord were Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.8., Vice-Admiral Sir Sydney Colpoya Dacres, K.C.8., Mr. Ducane, Civil Lord, and Lord Henry Lennox and Mr. Pakington, Secretaries. There were also in attendance Mr. E. J. Reed, chief con structor of the Royal Navy, Sir Richard Mayne, K.C.8., Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, and Mr. Melialieu, Inspecting-Superinten dent of the Dockyard and Royal Arsenal Force. A guard of honour, composed of 100 men of the local division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, in com mand of Capt. Delacombe, drawn up within the Dockyard, presented arms on the arrival of the Board, and the broadside guns of the flag-ship Fisgard fired an Admiralty salute of 19 guns. Mr. Reed pointed out the slip on which he proposed shortly to lay down the keel of the Thalia, a new vessel to be built precisely after the lines of the Juno. The subject of cutting down and converting the 81- gun ship Repulse, now about five years on the stocks, was again taken into consideration and par tially consented to. After going the round of the basin, and visiting the Niobe, 4-gun sloop, built at Deptford, and in course of completion at Woolwich, the Sylvia, new gun vessel, preparing for the surveying service, the double screw iron and wood gunboats Viper and Vixen, and other ships preparing fcir the pennant, their lordships lunched with the Captain- Superintendent, and again entering their carriages proceeded to the Royal Marine (planters. The whole of the divisions were then drawn up in review order, the undiscip lined recruits in the rear of the battalion in marching order, together with the regimental band. The usual visit front and rear having been gone through, as well as the marching past, &c., the bat talion was dismissed, and the Board proceeded to the officers' mess-room, billiard-rooms, library, &c., the cooking departments and kitchen—in which their lordships' attention was called to a new steam apparatus, with superior powers, fitted with double vertical pipes on an improved principle, similar to one erected at Portsmouth. The board then went through an inspection of the heavy gun drill in the battery commanded by Captain Carrington. They subsequently entered the new recreation building. Their lordships then visited the Marine Infirmary, under the superintendence of Dr. Salmon, deputy inspector of hospitals, and were informed by him that, although the present strength of the division is 1,650, the hospital wards contain but the small number of 94 invalids, including seamen of the navy. The board having completed their inspection of the Royal Marine establishments, retusned to the ply office in the'doc p ky ay ar , cln,oapnrdovwiesiroenofcocrupdieedcatyiped wonaridnssuofffitcwieonchyouorsf in investigating claims founded factorymen, the suspension of the gratuity, and other grievances. The petitioners desiring an audi ence were 60 in number, and were admitted as they desired, either singly or in small num bers, and were all informed that their com plaints would be attended to in clue time. At the close of the official inspection it was announced that their lordships had intimated their intention of replacing the former status of the dockyard under a commodore, as heretofore. Captain Edmonstone, C. 8., the present captain superintendent, was given to understand, it is stated, that his promotion to that grade would be forwarded to him shortly. The United States' paddle sloop Frolic, bearing the flag ofßear-AdmiralGoldsborough, Commander in Chief of the United States' squadron in European water's, arrived in Portsmouth harbour on Friday from Southampton river. Rear-Admiral Golds borough landed at the dockyard, and, accompanied by Rear-Admiral Superintendent G. G. Wellesley, visited the ironclad frigates and turret ships and other objects of interest in the yard. The Sir John Lawrence, sailing Indiaman, ar- rived at Spithead on Saturday from Calcutta with invalided and time-expired soldiers, &c., on board from various of her Majesty's regiments serving in India. The troop list and accompanying officers comprises—Capt. Beckley, 105th Regiment, in charge of the troops ; Capt. Thomas, Ist Dragoon Guards ; Lieut. Graves, 7th Foot ; Assist.-Surg. Baker, 27th Foot, in medical charge of troops ; 20 invalided soldiers, 1 woman, and 2 children, for the Royal Victoria Military Hospital at Netley ; 91 time-expired soldiers, 3 women, and 5 children, for their regimental depots. The troops will be disem barked this morning, 'and the Sir John Lawrence will sail immediately afterwards for the Thames. The crew of the paddle-wheel steam frigate Leo pard, 18, Capt. Charles T. Leckie, at Devonport, were paid wages on Saturday morning, and in the afternoon that portion of the men who belong to the eastern ports left the Sound in the paddle-wheel steam tender Medusa, Master-Commanding Thomas Potter, which will go first to Portsmouth. The screw steam gun vessel Dart, 5, Commander Marcus Lowther, left Plymouth on Friday afternoon for the West Coast of Africa. In consequence of the activity now prevailing in the iron shipbuilding and other departments at Chatham Dockyard, a large number of hired labourers have been entered for service at that esta blishment, and additional hands will be taken on as required. • The screw sloop Swallow, 9, 60-horse power, Master-Commander E. Wilds, will be put out of commission, and her crew paid off in the steam basin at Sheerness Dopkyard this morning. Capt.

TIIE "LONDON REVIEW" ON " CADGERS" CIIER ISIIED BY THE STATE.—If the " Amateur Casual" has done no other good, his narrative has called attention to a subject of which the public were entirely ignorant ; but it was left to the Parlia mentary Report on Vagrancy to open our eyes to the shameful manner in which the community are defrauded in the name of charity. When by acci dent we lift a stone, we are astonished by the num ber of obscure creatures that are immediately seen scuttling away into darkness. The President of the Poor Lawßoard has just lifted such a stone, and the " cadger and tramp" has been discovered in all his loathsomeness and depravity. It is not gene rally known that her Majesty's Government keep boarding-houses for the reception of rogues and vagabonds, and so ingeniously contrive their arrangements that no honest man or woman cares to ask admittance to them. Yet such is the plain state of the case. The casual wards of the work houses throughout the kingdom have, by the in genuity of that noble fraternity the " cadger," alias the henroost robber, the clothes stealer, and looter general to the provincial community, become regu lar stages and houses of refreshment to these vaga bonds, who are far more dangerous than the crimi nal population, inasmuch as they carry on their occupation under the guise of poverty, and with an organisation so perfect as to baffle all attempts at their regulation, much less their coercion. Mr. Hotten, of Piccadilly, has given the public a specimen of the cadger's map of a country district. Her Ma jesty's Poor Law Commissioners are now informed on the very best authority that every member of that fraternity possesses a map of the entire country, and knows the nature of the bed and table that is pre pared for him in every union in the kingdom, and that is saying a good deal, for the variety is charm ing, and affords a proof of the system, or rather want of system, in which relief is conducted by a great public department. And the extraordinary feature of their organisation is, that it is carried on by means of written communications on the walls of the wards themselves. Mr. Andrew Doyle, the in spector for the Chester district, in his admirable re port, gives specimens of their " handwriting on the wall,' which he informs us are to be found in every workhouse in the kingdom. The wall is, in'short, the cadger's card-basket, where he makes appoint ments, and his visitors' book where he expresses his opinion as to his treatment. Here are three an nouncements for instance : " Private Notice.—Saucy Harry and his Moll will be at Chester to eat their Christmas dinner, where they hope Saucer and the fraternity will meet them at the Union, 14th November, 1865." " Notice to ourPals.—Bristol Jack and Burslem was here on the 15th of April, bound for Montgomeryshire for the summer season." "Notice to Long Cockney, or Cambridge, or any of the Fra ternity.—Harry the Mark was here from Carmarthen, and if anybody of the Yorkshire tramps wishes to find him he is to be found in South Wales for the next three months. 17th April, 1865." We confess it is something newto find casuals of the criminal class giving their invitations for Christmas gatherings six weeks in advance, and talking of their rounds for the " summer season." That the cadger makes his rounds as regularly as her Ma , jesty's judges go the circuit, and that the county in like manner finds him his lodgings and board as a matter of course we gather from these " jottings by the way." There is not a particle of disguise about the matter; he never pretends that he is a casual, in the legal sense of the term, but boldly claims his right to board and lodging as often as he happens to come that way, and not only board, but clothing. The cadger,when his clothes are too ragged to wear,or too f ull of vermin,sim ply tears them up and then demands new ones. "Tear ups" are becoming a distinct variety of the tramp genus, and the only effectual method of cure is to clothe them in old sacks. However depraved human nature may be it cannot stand ridicule. It may easily be conceived that the cadger is not an agree able person to spend the night with ; indeed there is a general accord among the masters of workhouses that their riotous and blasphemous conduct is so fearful that no respectable wayfarer will share with them the shelter and food of the casual ward. The consequence is that the very class of deserving poor for whom the accommodation was intended never get it, and the whole system of casual relief is monopolised by thieves and idle vagabonds, with the full knowledge of the authorities. In order to repress the casual as much as, possible a diet is given which certainly cannot be called inviting. Dry bread and skilly, or gruel, is nourishment pre sented in the most obnoxious form ; this may be be fair treatment for the " cadger," bu d t it to the cruelty, wholly undeserved, when offer.se can we honest wayfarer.

On the other hand, the honest wayfarer was distinguished by the possession of a certificate given him by some one who knew the particulars of his distress. These regultitions acted Probable Results of the President's Tour. The President's tour is likely to lead to a result favourable to the future of America. Sin gularly enough, however, this result is the very opposite of that looked for when he started from the Union Convention platform on his celebrated journey. The President set out breathing Peace and Good-will ; but the further he left the White House behind the stronger his old habits returned —the less guarded his denunciations—till by fre quent contact with the mob he forgot the Presiden tial post, and remembered only his rough life in the wilds of Tennessee. His speeches were curious enough, considering that they were delivered by a President, even early in the route ; but it was re served for Indianapolis to be the stage of a Pre sidential harangue, which, we fear, will be associated with Mr. Johnson's name long after he has ceased to be. His attempt to fasten the New Orleans massacre on the Radical Congress—as he termed the Legislature of the United States—is a wild ex travagance. The metaphor by which he endeavoured to work out to an absurdity the charge of being a Judas is positively blasphemous, and the denun ciations of the ruling power of the Union—his threat to .veto every measure laid before him by a Radical Congress, and his design of " kick " ing out" every Radical office-holder, are unbecoming in the highest degree the dignity and reserve of his station. The scene was one worthy of the backwoods, and the President must have been forcibly reminded, as he looked down oh the contending masses, of his early career. It was amid such scenes that Mr. Johnson was educated. In the untamed regions of social and political warfare the President first rose to emi nence. His sharp rapartee and quick acceptance of any challenge shouted by an individual of the mob was a return to the old battle in which he had led as a master mind, and met and subdued his oppo nents. The strategy of these half-civilised settle ments ill became the great ruler of a mighty Re public, with the world for a stage. But here in England we should not pronounce- too harsh a judgment on what may seem so extravagant. Were Mr. Johnson not the President of the United States his speeches would be the most natural pos sible, and eminently adapted for the men to whom they were addressed. He was accused of every possible crime, and he met those charges with a fierce denial, with energetic declamation, and with strong counter-charges. He was at home on this platform, and his old habits got the mastery. While ad dressing these people he lost sight of the n heard d that he was speaking to the Union a 1 d all over the world. He became a mere politica e magogue, the simple chief of a factious party, and fact so far forgot himself as t o inflict the most damaging blow to the party whose cause he espoused. The conseque n ces , we believe, will be Sta tes, though so inju rious tone beneficial se hen the declaration of the b e h e i Phil a d e l p hi a Union C onvention was published, we hoped that the sound and moderate sentiments people as to induce them to declare autho enitnmdscioafttebd, would a have acted so strongly on the rmitatively what the policy of the Union on this mo il fiercer fl q uestionshould am e tilthe e b p e p . s l i t n o g n I p y a f r a t i n e n s d a , n h d o wp people o v p e r l e , mo mentous d in re to aded as they looked on the violence of the con tentioneircunis ttabnacteitthinaitgshttirerveedn t u u p at t e he in au ci i v es il ee w n a. Any t r mass— the great Conservative element of the Union—be fore whom President and Congress, politicians and parties, must all bow —tended to a good result. Happily for the Un t io o n ur , by the President's this . result The people wi I l ar be e secured throw ing themselves by thousands into the arms of the Republicans. The Vermont and Maine elections show the strong drift of the tide, and if no extravagance be committed by the leaders of the Republican party it is now highly probable that the people will speak so emphatically in favour of Congress that nothing will remain but to carry _ _ into effect the distinct utterance of the nation. Mr. Johnson has on all occasions avowed his intention to be guided by the voice of his countrymen, and if this voice be clearly against him he must abandon his policy, or resign his post. lie may " kick out " the Radical office-holders who do not endorse his policy, but the nation has a still clearer right to kick him out if he persists in adhering to his own against its declared wish. When the PRESIDENT, in the quiet of his study, cools down from the excite ment of his receptions, he will see the extravagance of his declarations, and this will be more strongly and forcibly brought home to him b y their effect on the people. It is possible that his violent excitement will end in a reaction, and that a policy of concilia tion and. moderation will be adopted. lie cannot any extreme either with or without civil war, carr y out his p o l ic y , measuresbut he can that tone Congressdown mayconsiderablyd esidesire to enforce.
