TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.— The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all det, r very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TENTH 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 t , ys,,em of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialitd r ertaining 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 supportng instead of extrac tion of loose teeth.uuril shey occome 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, n,ural, and convenable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth fl'om ss. Sets irons 5 to 25 ga., warranted.

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 arc h es . 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 bein g th a t they aro homeless an d 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. T o 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 be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donat i o n s obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor ramifies in want. Will you, in your cha rit y , help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and fend to the really starving?

There is a Fenian case now before the Court of Criminal Appeal—the Queen v. George Gilles, whiCh is being argued by Mr. Butt and Mr. Waters on the part of the prisoner, and Mr. Heron and Mr. Walsh for the C;civpi. s •The prisoner was tried at the special conintad sßateneecl tofiyesears'penal servitude. He had first, at the request of the detec tive police, given evidence, by information, against several persons under arrest for complicity in the Fenian conspiracy, and particularly Moore, the pike maker ; but afterwards, when required to repeat his evidence in the presence of the prisoners, he de clined, saying that he would ra th er take ten years than give the same evidence ove r aga i n, and that he would willingly miler five years' imp r i sonment to get out of the business. He was then placed under arrest as one of the conspirators, and tried at the recent special commission in Dublin for treason felony. Mr. John Calvert Stronge, the magistrate before whom the information was sworn, Charles Smith, detective officer, . and Mr. Superintendent Ryan, of the detective force, were examined at the trial in relation to the circumstances in which Gilles at first gave and afterwards refused to complete his evidence against the other prisoners. At the close of this evidence the Crown counsel tendered in evidence the prisoner's information, which implicated himself in the conspiracy, and formed the evidence against him. Mr. Butt, Q. C., objected to its reception, on the ground—first, that it had been made under an expec tation that the prisoner would be taken as an approver and witness ; and, secondly, that, being ou oath, he was bound to answer all questions put to him, un less he said it would criminate himself to do so. The Court, however, allowed the information to be read in evidence, but reserved the question of the propriety of doing so for the consideration of this Court. The prisoner has been since undergoing his Punishment. The following is Professor Ferguson's last report, issued yesterday evening : "No fresh cases of cattle plague have occurred in the county Down since the last report. There have been many cases of alleged cattle plague reported from four dif ferent counties in Ireland, but the symptoms of none of them resemble that disease. It is very probable that the disease has been already exterminated from Ireland. All the cattle in the proclaimed district of Drennan are in perfect health, apparently, notwithstanding that previous to the cattle being slaughtered, and the cordon being established, there had been for weeks a continuance of disease and mortality. It would, however, be premature to report more decidedly than that the prospect of a de sirable issue to the prompt measures that have been taken is most favourable." The Dublin University foot races and other athletic games commenced yesterday, and seemed to have attracted all the people in the city who could get away from buzinoilig. It is said that 10,000 tickets were issued for the reserved part of the Col lege Park, and there nnist, have been fully that number in the free part. The Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of Kimberley arrived shortly after 3 o'clock, and met an enthusiastic reception. It was pleasant to see the Fellows of College, the 1 , clergy, judges, and other dignitaries giving their countenance to these sports, which, however, de rive• their chief encouragement from the presence and sympathy of innumerable ladies. The weather was very favourable. Londonderry is in full revolt against the Irish Society, who Are the lords of the soil in that famous city. A great meeting has been held there on the subject of Mr. Tristram Kennedy's motion in the House of Commons, and it appears from the re port in the Londonderry Standard that nearly all the influential men in the place were on the platform. The Mayor (Mr. Darcus) was in the chair, and among those who were present and took part in the proceedings Mr. Geo. Skipton, D.L., Mr. Haslett, J.P., Mr. T. Macky, Dr. M'Knight, Dr. Browne, Mr. Isaac Colholm, Mr. Chambers, Mr. Hamilton, barrister, and a number of the leading nmrchants of that prosperous town, which would progress much faster, they assert, if the Irish Society did not stop the way by refusing proper building leases. One of the speakers stated that £4,094 is expended in the management of this trust property, which produces £11,192 17s. sd. a year, and they think it rather too much to spend £4,000 in the management of £12,000. These are the items : —lncidental expenses, as per general agent's account for 1865, £ll4 3s. Odd. ; law expenses, £492 7s. 11d. ; salaries to general agent, deputy vice -admiral, surveyor, and others, £926 16s. 6d. ; pension to general agent, £250 ; visitation expenses, 1865, £539 19s. 6d. ; surveying expenses £5O ; salary of clerk and porters' wages, £197 10s. ; coal, gas, printing, stationery, adver tisements, &c., £449 11s. sd. ; salary to secretary and assistant-governor, deputy-governor, and assis tants, for attendance at 51 meetings, £549 Is. 6d.— total, £4,094 9s. 10d. Mr. Haslett gave the fol lowing as an illustration of the intelligence of the managers : _ _ _ " One gentleman on being asked by another, ' Were you ever in Ireland ?' replied, ' Oh, no ; but I intend to get on the Irish Society next year, and then I'll have a trip.' (Laughter.) ' What kind of people are they over there ? Do they speak Irish ?' (Laughter.) ' Oh, no; they are very decent, civilised people.' Oh, lam glad they dont speak Irish, for none of us do, but my daughter can speak French.' (Laughter.) 6 They had a great siege one tim e over th ere .' ' Oh, yes—the Derry peop le are very p rou d of the siege.' ' Ah, yes, I me—happened in the reign o f Ki ng John, I be lieve?' (Laughter.) This is by no means an imaginary specimen of the way we are talked about in London." The Maiden City thinks that after a minority of 250 years she is now quite capable of governing herself, and that she should have the free and independent use of her dowry. One of the speakers, Mr. Skip ton, explained her wants thus:—.. It is not our private interests, I trust, th a t we regard. I, for one, though deriving the largest benefit out of the society's Derry lands—they themselves not excepted—can neither gain nor lose by any change in their constitution except as lam affected by the welfare of my f e ll ows an d the prosperity of their city . (Appl ause.) We do not wish to rob the society of their property ; we do n o t di s t rus t or doubt the honesty of the individual members of that body, or their sincere desire . to carry out th ei r trust to the best a dvantage of the inhabitants ; but w e d o call in question the fitness for the present time of tho constitution of that body, and the opportunities afforded them of its members obtain ing any real knowledge of the trust it administers. What we want is a tenure like that which has made Belfast the great emporium of commerce she now is." - Among , he s olu o t l i l o o n w s i , n all of which passed unani ,, That a committee consisting a the following gentle m, t wa r t e h s efg:_ men be now appointed to prepare and forward for presenta tion to both Houses of Parliament a petition praying the Legislature to take such measures as to them may seem best to carry out a complete reformation of the Irish Society, an d the existing evils, having reference to the report of the Royal Commissioners, and to take such further measures as to them may seem best to carry out the objects of the fore going resolutions : —T he mayor, the inovers and seconders of the several resolutions, Mr. Tristram Kennedy, M.P. ; Locd Claud John Hamilton, ALP.; Sir F. W. Heygate, A Wharncliffe meeting of the shareholders in this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern. Mr. Hawes, the chairman, stated that the meeting was called to consider two bills now before Parlia ment. The first was the East London Additional Powers Bill, the object of which was to provide for two deviations, the first on the north side of the river, necessitated by alterations made by the Great Eastern Company in their line, and the second on the south side of the river, necessitated by altera tions made in connection with the Brighton Railway. Although these deviations would cause outlay, the amount was not large enough to require the raising of new capital. A resolution approving of the bill was unanimously passed. With regard to the second bill, entitled the East London Extension Railway Bill, the chairman explained that it belonged to an independent company, which proposed to ioiu the East London, and involving no responsibility to the latter. The resolution of approval was unanimously passed. This concluded the formal business, but some questions were asked of the chairman relative to the general position of the company. In reply, he said the purchase of land had so far proceeded most favourably. A jury had been referred to in one instance only, and the company was then suc cessful in reducing a claim for land by £l,OOO. There were perhaps two or three cases yet - to go before juries. The works so far were scarcely be gun, owing to the great difficulty of getting entire possession of the land. The line would be probably completed in three years from last June. CALCUTTA AND SOUTH-EASTERN. The ninth ordinary general meeting of this com pany was held yesterday at the offices, Gresham house, Old Broad-street ; Mr. J. Borradaile in the chair. The report stated that the receipts for the half-year ending the 31st of December last amounted to £4,642 against £3,020 for the corresponding half of 1864, showing an increase of £1,622. The amount of merchandise and mine rals had been nearly trebled, without, however, se curing a proportional increase in the pecuniary re turn. This was to be attributed to the experimental reduction which was made in the fares for twelve months, to encourage the resort of traffic. At the beginning of the present year the old rates were re sumed, with some modifications, and this had already produced a beneficial result. The number of passengers in the first nine weeks of the current year increased upwards of 30 per cent., the quan tity of goods 30 per cent., and the total re ceipts upwards of 50 per cent. over the corre sponding period of the previous year. The num ber of passengers carried up and down be tween Calcutta and Canning in 1865 was 42,343, against 13,386 in the previous year. The object of the railway was to create a new harbour and port on the Mutlah to relieve the pressure of traffic on the Hooghly. The prosperity of the line, 28 miles in length, depended therefore on the growth of that port. The surface drainage effected by the municipal commissioners had a very beneficial effect in pro moting the health and convenience of the residents. The Canning-Land company had devoted a portion of their large capital to the erection of ton seri , tv pih jetties, and of houses for their officers and men. Two steam navigation companies which were en gaged in the trade between Calcutta and the North- Eastern district, and Calcutta and the various ports to the eastward, had commenced to make Canning their port of departure. The facilities which the river Mutlah and the new port offered for maritime commerce were beginning to be appreciated and im proved. The receipts on revenue account for the half-year ending the 31st December last amounted to £4,642, and the expenditure to £5,921, showing a loss on working of £1,279. • The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he had but little to add to it. He hoped in the current half-year that the receipts for traffic would fully cover the working expenses. The traffic was increasing, and the only drawback they had had was the loss of their jetty, owing to a landslip on the foreshore of the river, and about half of the jetty had disappeared. The Government had ad vanced £40,000 to the municipal authorities to carry out improvements ; and the full interest on the com pany's stock would continue to be paid as usual, notwithstanding the deficiency in the traffic receipts. Mr. MARSIIMAN seconded the adoption of the re port, and it was carried. -- The retiring directors, Mr. Borradaile and Mr. Thomas were re-elected, and also Mr. Goodchap and Mr. Johnson, the retiring auditors. CITY TERMINUS HOTEL. The second general meeting of this company was held on Wednesday at the Charing-cross Hotel, West Strand ; the Hon. J. Byng in the chair. The Secretary having read the report, The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said it was a great satisfaction to them that the building was progressing in every way that could be desired, and they all felt much indebted to Messrs. Lucas for the expeditious manner in which they were en deavouring to carry out the works. At the time they issued their prospectus of the undertaking the money-market was in a very unfavourable position, and the public did not readily respond ; and had it not been for the South Eastern Railway Company they would most probably have abandoned the un dertaking. He was glad they had been enabled to go on with the hotel, as he believed it would be, like the Charing-cross Hotel, a very great success. From the position of the hotel in Cannon-street, and the valuable support and assistance it would derive from the traffic of the railway, he looked forward to great returns from it. It was to be regretted that a fine undertaking like theirs should not have been sup ported by the public, who, when appealed to, were looking for very large percentages in other compa nies that could not be expected to continue. The restaurant would be opened about a month before the railway was ready, and he had no doubt it would be a paying concern. Mr. C. F. SURTEES, M.P., seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, which was agreed to. The retiring directors and auditors were re elected. The CnAIRMAN, in reply to a question, stated that the hotel would be opened in March or April next, and he hoped they would have the good for tune to get an able manager like Mr. Higgs to carry it on successfully. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. RAILWAY BILLS. In the House of Lords on Wednesday the Bridg water and Taunton Canal and Bristol and Exeter (Transfer) Bill was adjourned. The Midland (Ad ditional Powers) Bill, to raise £730,000 by shares, was passed. The Bristol and Portishead Pier and Railway Bill, to raise £60,000 by shares and £20,000 by loan, was passed.

Various matters were brought under discussion and resolutions to the following effect were proposed and adopted : "That the law embodied in the 28th section of 19 and 20 Victoria, cap. 108, ought to be applicable 'to all debts, without reference to the amount, viz., judgment by default unless defendant gives six days' notice of his intention to defend. That all county court judgments of £2 and upwards be registed, and that the register state if the case was defended. That the summary procedure upon bills of exchange and promissory notes conferred upon county courts by orders in council of the 30th Jan., 1856, and the 27th July, 1863, ought to apply in all cases upon bills of exchange and promissory notes irrespective of the amounts. That the foregoing re solutions be embodied by the committee in a peti tion to both houses of Parliament, and memorials to the Lord Chancellor and the Attorney General. That it is desirable to establish, in connection with these societies, committees of arbitration for the settlement of commercial disputes. That in the opi nion of this meeting it is desirable that jurisdiction of the small debts courts in Scotland should be ex tended to claims of £5O, and that the petition on the county courts shall embrace this resolution. That it is highly desirable that the laws relating to trade and commerce in the United Kingdom should be assi milated, and then consolidated into one code, that the committee be instructed to petition Parliament to that effect, and that the royal commission be addressed thereon. That Mr. Wells (Hull) be elected president and treasurer for the year 1866-7. That Mr. Bissington (Leeds) be the vice-president for the year, and that Mr. R. Mellon be the secretary. That the committee for the ensuing year consist of the president, vice-president, secretary of the asso ciation, 'and one representative from the London Association, Bristol, Edinburgh - , Manchiffer, and - Liverpool, of whom three shall be a quorum, and the committee shall have power to call a special meet ing of the association when and where they may think fit. That the first resolution of the meeting held last year as to the association being one of societies, instead of secretaries, be confirmed, and the association is hereby formed accordingly. That the members of the association shall represent the following places Bristol, Glasgow, Hull, Leices ter, Liverpool, Manchester, London, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Macclesfield, Rochdale, Sheffield, Torquay, and West Riding (Leeds), &c." It was also agreed " That the committee, having considered the suggestion of the Attorney- General, recommended that the bankrupt be en titled to his discharge upon payment of a dividend of 6s. Bcl. in the pound, or, in case such dividend be not paid, that the discharge shall be suspended two years, when the court may grant the same on application, but that such discharge be obtained upon his procuring the assent of a majority in num ber and value of his creditors in the same manner as is provided in the 146th section of the 19th and 20th Vict., cap. 79 (the Scottish Bankruptcy Act.)"

Yesterday afternoon, at 20 minutes past four o'clock, a boiler exploded in this town, resulting in the serious, possibly fatal, injury of two men ; a boy also having sustained injuries of a less dan gerous character. Within the last two mcnths a person named Wolstenholme commenced business as an elastic web weaver, and occupied a small factory, two storeys high, belonging to Mr. J. P. Clarke, a cot ton-spinner. This factory was surrounded by build ings—in the front by hosiery warehouses, and on either side by a number of small tenements, and a hosiery manufactory, which the explosion has da maged to a very great extent. I Volstenholme's fac tory is a complete wreck ; the walls bounding the factory yard are all blown down. Two out-houses in the adjoining yard have shared the same fate ; and the windows and doors of the tenements ad jacent have been shattered to atoms. Portions of the boiler, slates, bricks, and timbers of the build ing are strewn in every direction. A portion of the valve of the engine, weighing 121b5., was projected with great violence over the high build ings of two streets, against the arch of a door way ou the Weiford-road, a distance of 150 yards, smashing apiece off the arch and causing the greatest consternation to the inmates, one of whom! had but just entered the house and narrowly escaped e t ar e d e with his life. Fortunately there were persons in the factory at the time of the xy b l u osi explosion Mr. Mr. WoLstenhol me , his father, and hisch i ld. The adjoining old man was blown into a dust-hole in an e b e w as otherwise yard, his leg was broken, seriously injured ; the burnt and disfigured about parts of his body, tate.

The following is the text of the N. by the French Ambassador at Frankfort 13111 u de linbeck, the Austrian Minister, iu his character of President of the Germanic Diet, midis, of course, inutatis nzutandis, the text of all the invitations to the Conference : " The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the Ein. peror of the French, has been instructed by his Government to lay before the High Assembly the following communication. The difference which has arisen between Austria and Prussia in connexion with the Sch leswig-llolstein question has become a subject of great anxiety to Europe. Public opinion is alarmed by the possibility of a war in which so many various interests would be engaged. France, Great Britain, and Russia, themselves could notwithout uneasiness contemplate the possibility of an armed contest which would array against each other States towards which than entertained equal friendship. The highest consi derations incited them to seek some means of staving off that danger. The three Powers have consulted among themselves, having the same idea of peace and conciliation, and, after having interchanged their respective views, have formed an agreement to invite to a common deliberation the Governments which are, or may be, implicateldtailny,tlLeddtishpeuctee—r. that is to say, Austria, Prussia, manic Confederation. The object of these delibera tions is one that must impress all minds. It is, in the interest of peace, to resolve by diplomatic means the question of the Duchies, that of the Italian difference, and, finally, that of the re forms to be introduced into the Federal Pact, so far as they affect the European balance of power. If the Most Serene Germanic Confederation consents to yield to this appeal, as the three neutral Courts entertain a hope that it will, its Plenipotentiary can. in Paris join those of France, Great Britain, and Russia. As to the date of the meeting, it is desir able that it should be as early as possible.

Th e Government of the Emperor awaits with earnest solicitude the determination of the Germanic Confederation. The undersigned has the honour to request his Excellency the Baron de Lubeck, MiniSter of Austria and President of the Ger manic Diet, to transmit to that High Assembly the invitation of the three neutral Powers, and to re ceive the assurance of his very high consideration. " Frankfort-on-the-Maine, May 28, 1866." The official record of the sitting of the Germanic Diet on Tuesday last runs thus : " The Federal Assembly receives, in the shape of three identical Notes, addressed by the Ministers of France, England, and Russia, the invitation to assist in the deliberations which are about to take place at Paris with a view to the maintenance of peace. It is resolved to bring this invitation to the knowledge of the high and the very high Govern ments, and to refer to a committee of seven mem bers the examination of this matter. The selection of this committee has been made after the previous nomination of the committee charged with the ex amination of the motion by which Limburg seeks to be detached from the Germanic Confederation." L'Europe adds to the foregoing some details : " The committee of seven members to which is in trusted the duty of drawing up a reply to the invi tations of the neutral Powers is composed of repre sentatives of the following States :—Austria, Prus sia, Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover, Wurtemberg, and Electoral Hesse. The inquiry of the committee will be directed to the two questions : —l. Shall action be taken of the invitation of France, England, and Russia? 2. If the reply to the first question be in the affirmative (as is probable, and, indeed, certain), then by whom shall the Germanic Confederation be represented ? We believe that there is no doubt that the choice of- the Federal Assembly will fall upon the Prime Minister of Bavaria, M. von der Pfordten. The Diet will reassemble on Friday (this day) to receive the report of the committee., and to proceed to a decision upon the two qiNstions just mentioned." Shocking Murder in Birmingham. ONE BOY KILLED BYAIN AN OTHER A most shocking occurrence took place yesterday after noon in Heneage-stroet, by which a boy only ten years of age was deprived of life by another boy, who is his junior by a year. The murdered boy is named John Davis. He was a fine boy, ten years of age, and lived with his parents in No. 4 Court, Henry-street, Ashted, and worked at Mr. Steven's, the Dartmouth-street Glassworks. His murderer is a little Irish boy, named Thomas M'Gee, who lived with his parents in, Howard's-place, Hill-street, and worked as an " edger" at the hinge manufactory of Mr. Gold, in Great Lister-street. He had only been in Mr. Gold's employ during a few weeks, but in time had acquired the reputation of being a quiet, good-tempered lad. The dinner-hour for the employes at both places of business was the same, and Heneage-street Bridge seems to have been a favourite resort of the lads in their leisure moments. The bridge is distant a few hundred yards from Mr. Stevens's, and about double that distance from Mr Gold's place of business. To this accustomed spot a largo number of boys repaired at dinner-time yesterday, and commenced, boy like, all sorts of practical jokes the ono with the other. M'Geo would seem to have been eating his dinner, in the carving of which he m used a small one-bladed pocket-knife, with a white bone-handle, when the unfortunate deceased gave him a slight tap, whereupon, in a moment of passion, he turned round and struck his assailant a. severe blow in the left breast with the hand in which was the knife. Davis, on finding himself wounded, at once turned about and ran away in the direction of his workshop. As ho passed along the street he was seen to be bleeding profusely, and staggering in his gait, but before any one could reach him he managed to get within his master's gate, where he fell to the earth. He was promptly raised and taken in a ca b to the General Hospital, but died on the way. O n exam i ning him he was found to have been stabbed in the region of the heart. M'Gee, when he found whathe had done, at once tried to escape, and, getting upon the canal towing -path, made off in the direction of the bridge in Great Li s t er - street, near to where he wor k e d . A man named Th omas C rampton, yard, Lawley-street, hearing the hue and ca d a h n e d en see d l o u n g e, a t lad running away, but not knowing d w h h i a n t l, when he asked to who lives in the flop?
