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 aro homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEKTH 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 specialite tertaining 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 support'ng instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they uecome 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.

At a Special General Meeting, held at the Offices of the Company, No. 6, Westminster-chambers, Victoria-street, on Thursday, the 17th May, 1866, THE EARL OF DEVON in the Chair, the Advertisement calling the Meeting having been read, it was unanimously Resolved— That the Bill now submitted to the Meeting, intituled " A Bill to confer additional powers on the Metropolitan Railway Company : to enable such Company to alter and improve portions of their authorised Works, and to ac quire additional Lands: to confirm or authorise Agree ments with other parties ; to extend the time for com pleting certain Works ; to amend the Acts relating to the Company, and for other purposes," be and the same is hereby approved. DEVON, Chairman. NORTHERN OF BUENOS AYRES. The adjourned meeting of this company was held on Thursday at the London Tavern, to fill up vara.nrips in an Mr. MORRIS said that since the last meeting all the directors had, in order to facilitate the object of the shareholders, offered to place their resignation in their hands. (Hear, hear.) The differences with the late secretary had been arranged, and if themeet ing approved of it a sum of money would be paid to him as compensation, and he would continue to ren der assistance to the company, although his official connexion with it would cease. As to raising the money required for carrying on the company, the only course that suggested itself was to raise it on debentures at about 12i per cent. for three years, to be offered rateably to the shareholders. This was a high rate, but he believed that if the shareholders did not advance the money at that rate they would have to close the concern and wind it up. As to the number of the board, his opinion was that it should be reduced from eight to three. The concern was a small one, and the expenses ought to be in accord ance. He proposed that Messrs. Haynes and Smith and Sir John Lees be the directors. They should be empowered to add to their number. He moved that as a resolution, which was seconded by Mr. RIVAZ. After some discussion, in the course of which the importance of settling the question of the grant from the Buenos Ayres Government was urged as a means for facilitating the raising of the required capital, Mr. HARTRIDGE expressed a wish that Messrs. Laurie and Harrison should be elected, but, as they declined to act, the members proposed by Mr. Morris were elected unanimously. A resolution put at the last meeting, objecting to Dr. Cullen, in consequence of his connection with the Financial Corporation Company, was unani mously rescinded, and the proceedings terminated. INDIAN BRANCH. The ordinary general meeting of the company was ',held yesterday at the London Tavern ; the Marquis of Tweedd a l e i n th e c h a i r. _ _ Major-General C. C. JOHNSTON E, the managing director, read the report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, expressed his satisfaction at the present state of the company. There had been great diffi culties to contend with in respect to the Nulhatee line, and it still remained a source of anxiety to the Board ; but, no doubt, that would be removed when more rolling stock was placed on the line. It was expected that the line from Lucknow to Cawnpore would be opened during the present year for traffic. Mr. W. DENT seconded the motion for the adop tion of the report. Mr. G. SHEWARD thought the report was not satisfactory, and was of opinion that there should be a committee of the shareholders to consult with the Board as to the future management of the company. Several shareholders expressed their satisfaction at the position of affairs as explained by the chair man, and the motion for the adoption of the report was put and carried unanimously. Upon the question of the re-election of Messrs. Dent, Pender, and Tobin, the retiring.directors, a long discussion ensued, it being suggested by Mr. Sheward that it was not necessary to refill the three vacancies. The three retiring directors were re elected unanimously. Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, and Young were re elected as auditors. Mr. Maxwell was appointed to act with that firm on behalf of the shareholders, and the proceedings terminated. RAILWAY BILLS. Yesterday, in the House of Lords Committee, the preamble of the Murhybent and Darlington Bill was proved.

HANOVER, May 16.--So much has recently been said about the military roads through this kingdom, to the use of which Prussia is under circumstances entitled, that a short account of the actual relations between the two countries upon this point may not be out of place. The Vienna Congress Act of June 9, 1815, says in article 31— " His Majesty the King of Prussia and his Majesty the King of England and Hanover agree that three military roads shall lead through their respective territories, to wit-1. A road from Halberstadt to Minden through the Hil desheim district ; 2. A road from the Altmark through Gifhorn and Neustadt to Minden ; and 3. A road from Osnabruck to Bentheim through Ibben buren and Rheine—the first two for the benefit of Prussia, the third for the benefit of Hanover. Both Governments will appoint a commission without de lay, which shall draw up the necessary regulations for the aforesaid roads." A treaty for the execution of this last arrangement was concluded between Hanover and Prussia in 1816, which was renewed, with a few alterations, in 1838, and has since then apparently still subsisted. Prussia announced her right to use in time of peace one of the roads con ceded by Hanover (from the Altmark to Minden, through Gifhorn and Celle), retaining that right solely in case of war and the changes in the route of troops rendered necessary thereby. In its stead Prussia was guaranteed the use of a third road from Heligenstadt to Minden through Norten, Einbeck , Alfield, and Coppenbrugge, but it was at the same time agreed that this road should be used but rarely, and only for the march of small bodies of troops, consisting at most of one or two battalions or squad rons. In consequence of the almost general trans port of troops by railway, the military roads are generally used only by cavalry and artillery, but they will again be more frequented by infantry when transport by rail falls off for want of means of con veyance or other reasons. Of recent years Hanover has seldom used the military roads through the Prussian territory for cavalry marches, and Prussia has availed herself of the road through Hildesheim occasionally for small detachments of infantry, mostly only for remounts. Prussia has never received the right of occupying the road through Hanover. The treaties speak only of the marching through of troops, and it is especially stipulated that-, if the Prussian troops in traversing the road from Wolfenbßttel to Eschershaufen or Oldendorf require a day's rest, this rest is to be taken at Hildesheim. The tro t ors marching through are b oun d to go to any properly bel ong i ng t o th e di s t r i c t of the b halting n tar glqt.iseta tion that may b e po i n t e d ou t to them autho rities, except in the case of theiresco o rti y n g Q ar t t l i a l r le t r e y rs , ammunition, or other important and con% ys s t . escorts. a w 'Troops s be situated close to the military t r h o e a i d r n u assigned to such convoys quartered upon the inhabitants will receive provi sions in kind by order of the authorities u pon pay_ meat t according to the re g ulated scale, by th e officer in comm and.

But as this compensation does not afford full adequate recompense, the persons upon whom troops are billeted receive further remuneration ac cording to scale from the Treasury. The expenses of this latter kind usually amounted in the first years after 1815, owing to the numerous movements of troops and the high price of provisions, to be tween 12,000 and 14,000 thalers. Subsequently they became lower, and may now generally be es timated at about 2,500 thalers annually.--Reuter'; Express. a clerk in the secretary's office, Chelsea Hospital ; Mr. C. H. J. H.

At the meeting of the members of this institution of the Astronomical Society, u theßev. C. Pritchard, a ard, le P c r t e u s r id e President " The Telescope, its Modern Form, and the Diffi culties of its Construction." He gave a general outline of the history of the telescope, commencing with the discovery in the ruins of 'Pompeii of a spherical piece of glass which had been used by a jeweller to magnify the figures he engraved. The invention of spectacles followed, after many ages, the use of that first known lens, and they were com mon in the IGth century, but it was not until the beginning of the 17th that two Dutch specta•zle makers accidentally discovered that distant olijccts seemed nearer when viewed through two lenses tsa - eieraiiiinetaCeiescofiebyplacing two such lenses in a tube. Those original telescopes magni fied about three times, and the objects seen through them appeared inverted. It was after seeing one of those rude instruments that Galileo invented a true telescope by employing a concave lens for an object glass. His first telescope magnified six times, and with his subsequent one, which had a magnifying power of 12, he discovered Jupiter's moons and the crescent form of Venus, from which he inferred that the sun must be in the centre of the solar system, and that the Ptolomaic theory was erroneous and the Copernican system the true one. From the time of Galileo little improvement was made in the principle of the construction for several years, and telescopes were formed of unmanageable lengths and with small diameters, to overcome the difficulty arising from the dispersion of the coloured rays by refrac tion in passing through the object glass. Mr. Prit chard explained at some length the difficulties thus caused, which obstructed any important improve ment in telescopes until Dolland, in the middle of the last century, succeeded in cor recting, after much thought and labour, the forma tion of coloured images in the focus of the object glass by using a combination of lenses made of glass of different densities and forms. The principle on which this correction was founded was illustrated by models, by diagrams, and by the electric lamp, and it was shown that by the means adopted by Dolland not only were the coloured rays combined to form white light, but the aberration of the rays was cor rected, and they were all concentrated in the focus. The mechanical arrangements by subsequent in venters to facilitate the use of the telescope, and to keep it always turned to the same object in the heavens, were noticed and commented on, and the instrument in its perfect state—of - which one was exhibited—suggested reflections on the genius of man, which had produced it, and on the sublime and elevating nature of the researches to which the in strumeut had been applied. Mr. Pritchard made no allusion to the reflecting telescope beyond point ing to diagrams of nebula, and to some beautiful photographs of the moon, which were taken by means of the powerful reflecting telescopes of Lord Rosso and of Mr. Nasmyth.
