TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialitd 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, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from ss, Sets from 5 to 25 ga., warranted.

Prince Alfred in Edinburgh. On Saturday his Royal Highness Prince Alfred visited Edinburgh, in compliance with a request which had been made that he should formally inau gurate the new Industrial Museum, the foundation stone of which was laid by his father, the late Prince Consort, only two months before his death. During the stay of Prince Alfred in this city, while prose cuting his studies at the university, his frank and open disposition gained for him the confidence and respect of all his associates, and he became a great favourite with all classes of the community. His present visit to the city was deemed au appropriate occasion for conferring public honours upon him, and it was therefore resolved by the corporation to present him with the freedom of the city, and by the Senatus Academicus of the University to confer on him the degree of LL.D. Prince Alfred, attended by the lion. E. Yorke, arrived in Edinburgh about a quarter past 7 on Sa turday morning by the limited mail train from Lon don, by the North-Western line. He was received on the platform by the Lord Provost (Mr W. Cham bers, of Glenormiston, the well-known publisher), and Professor Lyon Playfair. Carriages were in waiting, and his Royal Highness was at once driven to the Douglas Hotel, in St. Andrew's-square, where he had breakfast. In the course of the forenoon the Prince, accompanied by the Hon. Mr. Yorke, took a walk through the city for an hour. He then re turned to the hotel, where he remained till shortly before one o'clock, when he drove to the Lord Provost's private residence in Chester-street in the official carriage of Lord Belhaven, her Majesty's Lord High Commissioner for Scotland. There was a large party present to meet his Royal High ness, amongst whom were the magistrates of the city, Lord President M‘Neill, Lord AT:hull:an, and the Lord Advocate. Shortly after two the party left his lordship's re sidence to proceed to the university, his royal high ness, who was dressed in Highland costume, taking his seat in the state carriage of the Lord High Cons missioner—an open carriage, drawn by four horses, and escorted by a troop of the 4th Hussars. The route was by Princes-street and North and South Bridges—the latter portion being lined by the Hussars and the 72d Highlanders. The Prince was enthusiastically cheered along the whole route, and frequently bowed in acknowledgment of the cordial greeting thus given him. At the un i vers i ty h e was received by a guard of honou r o f t h e 72d, and on entering the gnadrangle by the University Volun teers—the band of the 4th. Hussars playing the National Anthem. Upon alighting he was received by Sir David Brewster, the Principal of the University and the members of the Senatus Acade- j micas in their university robes. The Prince was I forward the coll ec ti on w ill not flag until the whole then conducted upstairs to the Upper Lib rary Hall, is perfected according to the original design.

Here the party were received byProfessor Archer, the Regius keeper of the Museum, and Capt. 1)(mnelly, Inspector of the Science and Art Department, by whom they were conducted to- the dais, where the magistrates and town council in their official robes were assembled. When the party bad taken up their position, Prince Alfred requested the Rev. Dr. Lee, a dean of her Majesty's Chapel Royal, to open the proceediugs with prayer. This having been done, the city clerk read to his Royal Highness an address from the Lord Provost, magistrates, and town coun cil, of which the following is a copy To HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALFRED. " May it please your Royal Highness, " We, the Lord Provost, magistrates, and coun cil of this city, desire for ourselves, as well as on behalf of the community over which we preside, to offer your Royal Highness the expression of our warmest welcome to Edinburgh. "As the son of our beloved Queen, and as an alumnus of our university, your Royal Highness can never fail to be received here with affection and en thusiasm ; but the circumstances of your present visit, and the associations connected with this cere monial, excite peculiar and mingled emotions. In re lation to this very building, your illustrious father performed one of the latest acts of his useful and noble life. Ever anxious to lend the aid of his high countenance to whatever promised to accelerate the material progress of the nation and to promote the happiness of the people, the Prince Consort laid the foundation stones of the Industrial Museum and of the new Post Office, sketching on that occasion in broad and masterly outline the influence which both institutions were calculated to exercise. " Your Royal Highness has now come amongst us to finish what was so auspiciously commenced. We accept your presence, for such a purpose, as an omen of good, and an assurance that your Royal Highness, cherishing your father's high ambition, covets as your richest inheritance some portion of such a life, a heart, a mind, as his.' " The citizens of Edinburgh will associate this institution with the name of the Queen and the memory of her illustrious Consort ; and we fondly hope that the study of the valuable collection of in dustrial products which it contains may serve to stimulate the energy of future generations, and enable Scotland to send forth many workers to do good service to our common country ' in fruitful strifes and rivalries of peace.' " We humbly ask your Royal Highness to receive the renewed assurances of our loyalty and attach ment to the Queen, her person, Crown, and family. It is our earnest prayer that her Majesty may long be spared to reign over a great, a happy, and a prosperous country." The LORD PROVOST then said—May it please your Royal Highness, I have the proud and envied privilege, as chief magistrate of this city, to present you with the document constituting your Royal Highness an honorary citizen of this ancient capital. In doing so, I am affected with a variety of emotions, to which I cannot adequately give utterance.

The experiments made were perfectly suc cessful, and, although a very simple adaptation of a pr ipciple used by the Russi ans i n the Baltic and the Crimea during the war, it suggested by one peculiar feature in the arrangements a possible means for rendering the action of fixed torpedoes in narrow water-ways more certainly effective than they are at present. The most perfect and reliable of the many torpedoes that has yet been tested as a fixed submarine mine is, without doubt, the torpedo laid down in theßaltie by Professor Jacobi, the che mical adviser to the Imzerial Russian Admiralty leading feeling in my mind at this moment, how ever, is the consciousness that lam officially ad dressing a living and conspicuous representative of a long and double line of Royal ancestors which stretches back to the dim mists of antiquity--a line which on the one hand extends through the Tudors and Planta genets toWilliam of Norinandy,and which on the other, in an equally - unbroken chain of consan guinity, reaches through the Stewarts and Bruces to Malcom Canmore and his famed Anglo-Saxon Queen. But independently of these historical associations, and reflecting on topics more congenial to the pre sent occasion, I am affected by the consideration that your illustrious father initiated on this spot— the ancient Kirk of Field—a movement of great im portance to the prosperity of this section of the United Kingdom, and of immense benefit to Edinburgh in particular. It cannot, I think, be but a pleasing thing for your Royal High ness to see this day so far completed that mag nificent museum devoted to the promotion of the scientific and industrial arts which was begun by the late Prince Consort. Thanks to the department which takes charge of such matters, the collection of works of art is already most valuable and instruc tive.

Any ship must steam directly over and strike such tor pedoes before they can be brought to act upon her, and it is the increase of the chances of a torpedo so acting upon a passing ship suggested by the trials of Mr. Abel's torpedo primers that invested those trials with greater interest than would otherwise have been attached to them. For the trial of these "primers" two boat's breakers were filled with gunpowder, with the primer fixed through the bung of the breaker. This primer has treble tubes, one within the other. The outer tube is of vulcanised gutta percha of about one-eighth cf an inch in substance, with a thin leaden tube next enclosing a glass tube, the latter containing a well-known chemical agent. This treble tube is surmounted by a brass cap, from which lead ropes radiating in various directions from the tube capped torpedo, the object of this arrangement being that a passing vessel missing the torpedo should catch one or other of th 6 ropes with her keel, and so, bending the tube or primer, break the glass inner tube, liberate its contents, and explode the torpedo. A passing ship might or might not be damaged to any material extent by such explosion, according to the distance of the torpedo from the ship's bottom ; but might not such a plan of firing to rpedoes be c om bi ne d w i t h another of floating or half-sun ken wreckag e f or f ou li ng th e screws o f hos tile ships en deavouring to f orce th e i r passage t h roug h rTohaedsusteeaodfs toorpredentrances marine n h e ar warfarebours will and l possibly rivers ? never become certain until a submarine torpedo boat having a power of descending from and as of air for a lengthened cending to the surface of th e water at the pleasure of its crew,ened s w ta it y h u a nd n e abundant bti water,n d a t andsupply a simple motive power to direct and control its course, i s perfected. le In Le Plongeur, now lying in the basin of Cher bourg dockyard, the French navy possesses a vessel of the kind, which appears to have failed only fro m too much having be en attempted in the endeavour to make Le Plongeur a sub-marine gun vessel, in lieu of a " torpedo-fixer." O ur own mechanicians and chemists, independently of any official sanction or support, have given the subject much consideration, and a design for such a boat has been so far com pleted that its rough drawings have been privately submitted to persons fully competent to form a sound opinion on so important a subject, and their verdict has been favourable in the most complete sense.
