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 wilt 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. PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.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 tho nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. 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 are homeless and starving. Tho Manager, 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. 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 £l,OOO 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.

Present—Lord President, Sir George Grey, :Tart., Mr. Milner Gibson, and Mr. Bruce : Whereas by an act passed in - the session of Par liament, held in the 11th and 12th years of her Majesty's reign, entitled " AU Act to prevent until Ist day of September, 1850, and to - the end of the then session of Parliament, the spreadihi of conta gious or infectious disorders among sheep, cattle, and other animals" (which act has since been ex tended and continued in force until the Ist day of August, 1865, and to the end of the next session of Parliament), after reciting that " a contagious or infectious disorder known or described as the sheep pox or variola ovina, now pravails among the sheep in some parts of the United Kingdom, and it is ne cessary to take measures to prevent such disorder from spreading," it was and is enacted (amongother things) as follows, namely : "In case any sheep or lambs infected with or labouring under the said disorder, or any disorder of the like nature, be ex posed or offered for sale, or be brought or attempted to be brought for the purpose of being so exposed or offered for sale, in any market, fair, or other open or public place where other animals are commonly exposed for sale, then and in any such case it shall be lawful for any clerk or inspector or other officer of such fair or market, or for any constable or policeman, or for any other person authorised by the mayor, or by any two justices of the peace having jurisdiction in the place, or for any person authorised or appointed by her Majesty in Council to seize the same, and to report such seizure to the mayor or any justice of the peace having jurisdiction in the place, and it shall be lawful for such mayor or justice either to restore the same, or to cause the same, together with any pens, hurdles, troughs, litter, hay, straw, or other articles which he may judge likely to have been in fected thereby, to be forthwith destroyed or other wise disposed of in such manner as he shall deem proper, or as may be directed in manner hereinafter provided ; and any person bringing or attempting to bring any sheep, lambs, oxen, bulls, cows, calves, or other horned cattle, into any such market, fair, or open or public place as aforesaid, knowing such sheep, lambs, or cattle to be infected with or labour ing under either of such disorders as aforesaid, shall, upon conviction thereof, forfeit and pay for each and every such offence a sum not exceeding twenty pounds." And, whereas, in and by the said act, it was and is further enacted as follows,—that is to say : " If any person turn out, keep, or depasture any sheep or lambs infected with H. labouring under the said disorder, in or upon any forest, chase, wood, moor, marsh, heath, comm)n, waste land, open field, road side, or other undivided or unenclosed land, such person shall, on conviction thereof, forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding twenty pounds." And whereas, in and by the said act, it was and is further enacted (for the more effectually preventing the spreading of contagious or infectious disease) as follows,—that is to say : " It shall be lawful for tie Lords and others of her Majesty's Privy Council, or any two or more of them, from time to time to ria,ke such orders and regulations as to them may seem necessary for the purpose of prohibiting or regitlating the removal to or from such parts or places as they may designate in such order or orders of sheep, cattle, horses, swine, or other animals, or of meat, skins, hides, horns, hoofs, or other parts of any animals, or of hay, straw, fodder, or other trticles likely to propa gate infection ; and also for the purpose of purify ing any yard, stable, outhouse, or other place, or any waggons, carts, carriages, or other vehicles ; and also for the purpose of directing how any animals dying in a diseased state, or any animals, parts of animals, or other things seized under the provisions of this Act, are to be disponi:lof ; and also for the purpose of causing notices to le given of the appear ance of any disorder among sleep, cattle, or other animals, and to make any other orders or regula tions for the purpose of giving effect to the provi sions of this Act, and again torevoke, alter, or vary any such orders or regulationE ; and all provisions for any of the purposes aforesaid, in any such order or orders contained, shall haw, the like force and effect as if the same had been inserted in this Act ; and all persons offending against the same shall for each and every offence forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding £2O, or such smaller sum as the said case by such order direct ;" A Lords or others of h er M ajesty ' s Privy Council may in any d whereas a contagious or infectious disorder, known or described as the sheep pox, or variola ovina, now prevails among the sheep, in a certain part of the United Kingdom, and it is expedient to spreading; take measures for preventing such disorder from - Now, therefore, the Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council do hereby, in pursuance and exercise of the powers as aforesaid, make and ordain the sothe vesteds everalin m orders the and regulations following —that is to say : I. It shall not be lawful for any person to remove any sheep or lambs to or from the parish of Long Buckby, in the county of Northampton, or to drive or conduct any sheep or lambs through or by way of Person so removing, driv ings,uoc parish, r h u conducting nles s s h u t eh e sheep or lambs shall first in writing, signed by s have e person obtained who a m certificate, have been authorised, by two or more justices of the said county of Northampton, to seize sheep or lambs infected with or labouring under the said disorder, under the Ist section of the said Act, that such removal, driving, or conducting may take place without danger of spreading the said disease. ll.—All sheep and lambs dying in any stages of the said disease, wheresover such death or deaths shall or may occur, shall forthwith be buried by the per l s a o n n th o s r m p a e y rso b n e s a in t thleotsi of death, with their skins possession such sheep or skins on, in pits of not less than sft. in depth, and the carcasses so buried shall be covered with quick lime. 111.

IV, Every pers.= bi Pos§er,si9n of any sheep or ABERDEENSHIRE. At the weekly meeting of the Aberdeenshire Rin derpest Association, held on Friday, the members, after disposing of some routine business (thescounty is at present free of the disease), took up the con sideration of the Government Cattle Plague Bill. Mr. Barclay, the hon. secretary, after going over the leading features of the measure, said the state of matters in 'regard to the Government propositions had been considetably altered by the proceedings in the House of • Conimons. The Chancelllor of the Exchequer, in deference, apparently, to Mr. Bright and Mr. John Stuart Mill, had reduced the amount of indemnification to one-half in any case, while a motion by Mr. Hunt for the total stoppage of the movement of cattle up to March 25th was carried against Government bythe large majority of 83. In consequence of this serious change in the bill, the finance committee of the association had that morn ing resolved to send a telegram to Mr. Gladstone asking him to receive a depiagtionirom_the associa tion. The chairman (Mr. M'Combie, Tillyfour) said he had no doubt but the unanimous opinion of the meeting would be that to give compensation to the extent of only one-half the value of the beasts would be an inducement to keep the plague secret wherever it might break out—a most dangerous pro ceeding. Mr. Campbell (Blairton) held that the stoppage of the movement of cattle till the 25th of March would place those cattle in that part of the country in a veil , ' awkward 15Osition. It was quite an erroneous idea to suppose that such stoppage was the first and most important step to be taken. In the experience of the Aberdeenshire association this step was the last and the least important. In the winter months it might have had some effect, but now it was of no use. As to the compensation not being above £2O in any case, Mr. Campbell considered - this to be a premium to persons holding inferior cattle. Whatever the proportion to be paid was, let it be settled by a fair valuation. To paya man £2O whose stock is perhaps worth £4O, was obviously wrong 'and unfair. Mr. Copland (Ardlethen) looked upon the stoppage of the movement of cattle at this season as being ruinous to the smaller farmers and crofters, while it would cause great inconvenience even to the larger ones. Many of the smaller farmers had no provisions for their cattle, and, to prevent them being sent by sea or by railway, would simply be ruin to most of them. He was doubtful if any repre sentation would have much effect on the point, but he thought it the duty of this association to do everything they could in the matter. He agreed in the opinion that to merely give compensation to the extent of one-half would incline farmers to conceal disease. Mr. M'Combie thought the bill had got into a most unsatisfactory position. The ground taken by Mr. Bright in regard to the measure, and, still more so by Mr. Stuart Mill, was so utterly un reasonable that he would fain hope, even now, that a representation would have some effect. Mr. Mill had put the case in this extraordinary manner : " But what would be the necessary condition in order to render that sum a just compensation ? It was necessary that the animal should have two out of three chances of surviving, and, if not, the farmers would have an absolute gain." (Laughter). What could they think of such an argu ment? It might have had some force had the compensation been asked from the public revenue, but, when the landowners and farmers were to supply the compensation themselves, why what business had any one to interfere between them and what they regarded as justice ? (Hear, hear.) The thing is so utterly irrational and incredible that if it had not been set down in the report of the speech he should not have believed it. Mr. Barclay then read the following resolution :—" That this committee know that the total stoppage of the movement of cattle means starvation to death in many parts of this county, and that it will not be practicable to enforce such a regulation on the score of humanity, while the experience in this country shows that, although the movement of cattle carries the disease long distances, it could not be spread from local centres if the local prohibitions adopted by this association were enforced." Thereafter a deputation was appointed to urge on the Govern ment the views expressed in the following telegram, which had, as stated by the honorary secretary, been sent to Mr. Gladstone :—" This committee, alarmed by the reduction of the compensation to one-half, and fully convinced that this will neutralise the use fulness of the measure by inducing concealment of the disease, solicit your reception of a deputation to state our experience and views." IVALWORTIL Three of the cows belonging to Mr. Higgs's dairy were attacked with the cattle plague on Friday, and four more on Saturday last. It was then ordered by the cattle inspector that all the remaining cows (23 in number) should be slaughtered and sold for human food, in order that the disease might not spread further. TIIE PRESIDENT AND THE OLD POLITICAL PARTIES.—The New York Herald says the response of President Johnson to the delegation of Democratic politicians from Pennyslvania, who called at the White House a few days ago, has the ring of the true metal, which distinguishes at once the states man from the mere trading politician. In reply to their professions of endorsements and support of his Administration the President said :—" If you come to me as patriots, I feel I may count on the support you offer; but if as partisans only, it is more doubtful, as I shall not swerve from my sense of duty for party men or party objects." This is a noble utterance, worthy of the patriot and statesman who now occupies the Chief Magistrate's chair of this great republic. They are words which will cheer the hearts of and encourage every true Ame rican. In making that assertion President Johnson touched a chord in the hearts of his countrymen which will return to him a cordial response from the remotest corner of our land. The Herald trusts that upon this he will stand, and that upon " this line he will fight it out if it takes his entire term." All who have carefully watched and scrutinised the course of Andrew Johnson since he assumed the duties of the Executive of the nation must have long since realised that he was guided solely by a sense of duty. From the very commencement of his Ad ministration his public acts, decisions, and procla mations have all clearly indicated that the interest of the country, and not party, prompted his course. To such his brief speech was useless, and contained nothing new. It is well, however, that it was made, for the most obtuse cannot now fail to comprehend the situation. There is no longer room for doubt. At the late convention of coloured people held at Augusta, Georgia, resolutions were adopted opposing universal suffrage, but favouring the voting of such coloured men as can read and writo well, with the ad dition of the proper qualifications ; that all vices and crime among freedmen should be discountenanced; that the Freedmen's Bureau should compel negroes to work, and make contracts, if they required. to do so, voluntarily ; that Southern property should not be confiscated, and condemning the proposition that the Southern States are practically territories.

Although the events of the past two days have taken the whole population of - Dublin completely by surprise, the course adopted by the Government is approved of by all but the members of the Fenian brotherhood and their secret sympathisers. It is generally believed here that a measure so decisive and rigorous as the suspension of the Habeas Cor pus Act would not have been recommended unless the authorities had been in possession of informa tion of a very startling character; and those who read the telegraphic summary of the speeches of the leaders of the Opposition in the Upper and Lower Houses are convinced that Sir George Grey must have communicated to Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli some facts which thoroughly justified his proposi tion. But no persons were so much astonished at the proceedings of Saturday as the Americans who have infested Dublin for some weeks past. Sleeping quietly on the news of the intended suspension of the act, and full of confidence that they mould have ample time to prepare for flight, they were not ready for the bold and unprecedented step of anti cipating the action of Parliament. The strangers were, in most instances, men of respectable ap pearance. They lived in respectable lodgings in retired parts of the suburbs, and they spent Their' money f ree ly- in — hotels and ta verns throughout the city. Almost every one captured boasted some rank in the Federal army. One was a veritable colonel, two or three claimed to have com manded brigades, and there was a whole score of captains. Unfortunately men of this class find it comparatively easy to obtain an admiring and sympathetic audience in Dublin, and it is impossible to overestimate the mischief which their swaggering impudence aced fabricated 'exploits might effect amongst clerks, drapers' assistants, grocers' ap prentices, and the whole tribe of vain and unedu cated youths which is so largely represented in a city where employment is obtained with difficulty and wages are low ; and therefore it is not surprising that all who - desire the preservation of order should rejoice that the mouths of the Fenian emissaries are shut for awhile. The Dublin papers cordially approve of the course which the Government has adopted, and the speeches of Mr. Bright and Mr. Mill find no response even from those who hold their political creed. There are at present in custody between 120 and 150 persons. Of these about 70 are confined in Kilmainham prison, and the remainder in the Mountjoy Convict Prison,and if the arrests continue it will puzzle the authorities to find gaol accommo dation. Some of the scenes which took place on Sa turday were really amusing. In many cases the prisoners protested that 'they were mere vic tims of suspicion, and abjur6d Fenianism with considerable energy. Many more stood on their national dignity, and gravely cautioned their captors that the American citizen was not to be trifled with, and the President would exact a terrible revenge. Neither persuasion, ex postulation, nor threats saved the suspected. The news spread with extraordinary rapidity, and those unfortunate strangers whose names were not on the list, or whose lodgings were unknown to the police, remained in cover until after nightfall, when an unusual number of cabs were seen driving along the North Wall. The muffled passengers stopped nowhere, passed all their usual haunts, asked no questions, carried no luggage, and made all speed on board the Liverpool steamers. Fortu nately for them the police interposed no hindrance, and as the departing excursionists had suddenly forgotten their own rank and dignity, they did not receive any ovation from the crowd that looked on. Another detachment of Federal officers fled by the mail train to Cork, and these in all probability have already sailed by the Cunard steamer. But, beyond doubt, many are still secreted in Dublin, and if ever there is to be an outbreak the suspen sion of the act must precipitate the action of the Fenian leaders. But the telegraph has already ap prised you that no disturbance has taken place, that the police did not meet with the slightest resistance, and that after the first excitement subsided the city became perfectly quiet. Some absurd rumours of mutinies of the regiments in provincial garrison towns were circulated yesterday, but at once con tradicted. A strong force has been despatched southwards, and detachments of troops will be stationed in several remoter towns of Mun ster and Connaught. To-day, I understand, the Government will anticipate the passing of the bill of which Sir George Grey gave notice on Sa turday night, by taking possession of the telegraph offices throughout the country . . The same measure was taken in 1848, a few days after the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. The police have not yet given up all hope of cap turing Stephens, and it is likely that, under exist ing circumstances, he will find it very difficult to conceal his whereabouts. That he is still in Dublin no person appears to doubt, and some persons go so far as to state that he was in a house in Wil liams-lane, in which a few pikes were seized on Saturday, at the very moment of the seizure. Numerous arrests of suspected Fenians are reported by the provincial papers. One person lately taken in custody was an American captain, named D unne, who had commenced to farm a small piece of ground near Mallow. The arms of the Limerick Artillery Militia were on Saturday removed from the Castle Barracks to the New Barracks by a guard of soldiers of the 73d Regiment. While it is pleasant to have to report that no dis turbance occurred in this city during the past two days it is necessary to state that an outrage of a very serious character was attempted yesterday morning. At five o'clock as Hackett, the guard, who arrived in charge of the mails at King's bridge Terminus, and Mr. Ardagh, clerk in the Post-office, was driving from thence to the General Post-office, some miscreant at the corner of Mary's-lane fired at them. The car was proceed ing at a rapid rate, and possibly it is owing to this circumstance that the shot did not wound either Mr. Ardagh, the guard, or the driver. As it was, the bullet passed very near Hackett's head. The person who fired immediately decamped, and up to the present no person has been arrested. No cause can be assigned for the nefarious outrage. On Saturday evening a melancholy occurrence, at first absurdly ascribed to Fenianism, took place in a public-house, kept by a person named Byres, on the Glasne - vin-road not far from the scene of Clarke's murder. At eight o'clock a Mr. Sutcliffe, who holds a respectable situation in one of the private banks, drove up to the door and came to the counter. He produced a sword and a revolver, and presented the latter at the head of Byres, who, seeing that he was drunk, tried to persuade him to put the pistol in his pocket. While they were speaking one of the barrels of the revolver was dis charged, and the unfortunate publican received the bullet in his neck. He was brought to the Mater Misericordia Hospital, where lierendliadinnso i t n a t a t e l m )r p e car i o us condition. Sutcliff e, who to escape, was at once secured. On the morning of Friday, the IGth inst., the up night mail train having passed as far as two miles on the Mullingar side of the Moate came in contact with two heaps of stones placed maliciously upon the rails, which gave the engine a great shock and doubled up the "life -guards," the strength of which alone saved the engine and train from being thrown off the line, the consequence of which would have been most disastrous, as the train was running rapidly down an incline. The stones were unusually large, one of them weighing six stone six pounds. They were also very hard whin stones, and were driven many yards ahead with great violence, deeply cut ting into several sleepers. This short section of the line between Mulliugar and Athlone has been the, scene of as many such attempts at wholesale mur der a 4 the whole of the rat of the Midland line, this t 4 ! f‘- 11-.iz.. - - 7 -. -Y being the second outrage daring the last few months, and the seventh during the last few years. CORK, Monday. Sergeant Durach, of the 2d Regiment, was put on his trial by court-martial, at the military bar racks here to - day—Colonel Shute, of the 4th Dra goons, president. He was charged with being a sworn Fenian, and pledged to sow disaffection in his regiment. The trial was adjourned after the examination of witnesses, A drum-major of the same regiment, and a ser geant and private of the 32d, are to be tried for the same offence. Six civilians were arrested this morning imder tl4 Suspension Act. D UMN, Monday. Thirty arrests were made in Dublin to-day. On Saturday morning while making a search a sub-in spector and three constables were fired at in the town of Tipperary. One man was wounded. The . statement of a mail guard having been fired at is a fabrication. The city is perfectly tranquil. The Delay of the Royal Commission. When the bill for suspending the Habeas Corpus Act had passed the House of Lords a telegram was sent to Earl Granville, who was at Osborne, an nouncing the result, upon the receipt of which het Majesty's signature was affixed to the documents authorising the commissioners to give the Queen's assent to the bill. In order to allow time for bring ing these documents to London the sittings of the house were suspended until eleven o'clock, by which time it was calculated the special train would arriv6 in London. After the Cattle Disease Prevention Bill had been read a first time, there was no further business before the house. For upwards,of, an hour the Lord Chancellor remained seated on the wool sack, wearing his peer's robes and full wig, and forming a prominent feature in the centre of the house. There was not a member on the benches on either side, but still the Chancellor sat there in his robes of scarlet and ermine, waiting with impatience the arrival of his brother peers and the Royal Com mission, which was to empower them to give her Majesty's assent to the bill. Frequently his lordship sought relief from the monotony of his position by beckoning to distant clerks, apparently Asking for information as to the cause of the non-arrival of the important document. Black Rod moved about ex cited, perturbed, and amazed at the delay, and could afford no information to the solitary peer on the woolsack. The Chancellor perused the "votes," now he dozed for a few minutes, and woke up anxi ously to inquire for the commission. Time rolled on, the hour of midnight struck, a quarter-past, haJf past twelve, and then there entered a clerk bearing a despatch-box, which the Chancellor opened, and looked delighted on the long-delayed document. Then came the Duke of Somerset and the Earl of Bessborough bearing his wand of office, also wearing their robes, and sat upon the Ministerial benches. Another quarter of an hour passed, and then the clerk entered, carrying the Royal Commission. The Lord Chancellor addressed the two robed peers and two others who had • strayed into the house and repre sented the Opposition, and informed them that her Majesty had issued a commission under the Great Seal, authorising certain lords therein named to give her royal assent to a bill agreed to by both Houses of Parliament. His lordship then directed the Usher of the Black Rod to summon the Commons to hear the Royal Assent given to the bill in ques tion, and shortly after the Speaker, accompanied by about 50 members of the House of Commons, ap peared at the bar of the house. To them the Lord Chancellor, now seated on a bench in front of the Throne with the two other peers, made known the commands of her Majesty, and the Clerk of the House read the voluminous document, which autho rised the lords therein named to give openly and publicly her Majesty's royal assent to the bill. When the clerk read the names of the peers who were to act as commissioners he made profound obseisance, and each peer in his turn acknowledged the honour by raising his cocked hat. The reading of the letters patent completed, the clerk was directed to read the title of the bill, and upon this, a Commissioner uttered the old Norman words, " La Reine le veult," and at 20 minutes to one o'clock on the morning of this day the bill became law, and the privileges con ferred by the Habeas Corpus Act were from that moment suspended in Ireland. The delay in the arrival of the special train was, it was understood, caused by two heavy luggage trains, which could not readily be got out of the way.—Observer.

" New York," ho writes, "was at that time a compact city. Brooklyn was an inconsiderable village ; the only mode of crossing was by row-boats. Jersey city was nowhere.' There were no omnibus lines, no railways, and I believe no hacks. We took our time in those days ; nobody was fast. The City Hotel was the only first-class house in that lino of business. Hotel fare was substantial, but plain. There was a general prejudice against French cooking. Port and brown sherry (pale sherry rarely seen) were good, and Madeira delicious. Champagne was just coming in, and comparatively little known ; it was warmed before drink ing! The customs and habits of New York were much more simple than they are now ; there was infinitely less wealth, less luxury, less cultivation, and loss refinement. There wore comparatively few temptations. There were no `hells,' no gin palaces, no saloons, no clubs. Men lived at home. The Park Theatre and Scudder's Museum were the only places of amusement. Contoit's Garden had just been iceo pened.m w public er eaAasnew. garden Even with porter seats, a slemonade, now and Consti tuted, were almost unknown. It was at a porter house at the corner of Fulton-street that the first introduction of newspapers for general reading took place. New York was a more economically governed city than it is now ; there was a much higber sense of official responsibility, and municipal honours were conferred on men of high stand ing and character. The standard has been lowered by uni versal suffrage. It may interest tho craft' to know some thing of the condition of the press half a century ago. My first employment here as a journeyman commenced in May, 1815, with Van Winkle and Wiley, who printed Cob bett's Weekly Register. I contrived to take proof sheets to that great English Radical, and got up a somewhat fami liar acquaintance with the grey-eyed and always grey dressed man, and learnt from him much about the leading statesmen of England. 1 was afterwards with Jonathan Seymour, and was employed on the then great enterprise of publishing Scott's Family Bible ; on that work I had James Harper Harper, now the senior of the great publish ing house, as my partner. Nothing was known in those days of ten or eight hours' systems ; we worked 13 hours a day. An incident will show the capacity of leading i ad vance houses at that time. William Marcien, for whom I work e d in 1817, had an order to reprint with all haste " L a ll a Il a vonocke by h , 'o f which a ro a m were manned night and day ; presses runnin g constantly ; ll bi n ders were reinforced, and for once, stron g M ethodist as shipsingle London. copy had A was been astir. cedn d- The' ve cases' b e was, Mr. Mercien, ignored the Sabbath. And on the tenth day 'Lana Rookh ' in boards made its appearance. This was regarded as an achievement. The Harpers would do it now in 21 hours. W on d erful changes have been wrought in daily journals. There were then two morning papers, the Gazette and the Mercantile. The Gazette rarely contained more than a column and a half of reading matte; and the Afercantile was not much better; both were stupid and barren of all interest except for their ship news and advertisements. The two evening papers, the Post and Commercial, were edited with ability. The Columbian was semi-weekly. The Mercantile had the largest circulation, which I think was less than 2,500. There was not in the whole city as much press power and capacity as is now operating subterraneously beneath the side walk in front of the Times-office, while thousands pass over it uncon scious of its whereabouts. Of all who were connected with the daily press of that time I believe the only survivor is Mr. Francis Hall, of tho Commercial, with half a dozen of the then journeymen. For myself I always had good situations, was habitually industrious, drank no beer, and earned from $lO to $l2 a week, most of which, after pay ing board, went for tickets at the Park Theatre. Mecha nics, clerks, &c., paid $3 a week for board." The New York Post says the report of the sailing of a Fenian privateer from that portarose from the movements of the steamship Fort Morgan, formerly a supply steamer in the naval service. She was bought last September by the well-known firm of Ward and Co., her name changed to Cuba, and she made four trips to Havana, when she was withdrawn and placed in dock for refitting. It was I reported two weeks ago by a person who had opportunity of being well informed, that she had been sold to the Fenians. The Cuba, Captain Sundberg, cleared for Bal timore, and, it appears, sailed for that port. This is re garded as very singular. Vessels of her ton nage d o no t usually ply between Now York and Baltimore, and when vessels sail they generally advertise for freight and pas sengers. This the Culai did not do. ~~% NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTIIOR OF " JOHN HALIFAX." Now ready at all the Libraries, in 2 vols., 215., A NOBLE LIF E.
