Pitman, 20, Paternoster-row. MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrip tl,,n of ARTIFICIAL TEET 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, an d w ill 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.

Captain Gronow, who lately died in Paris, has left a widow and four young children, by his second marriage utterly destitute, without means to defray his funeral expenses, or even to purchase bread. Captain Gronow was disinherited by his father, in favour of his brother a clergyman. and the small income which he derived from the interest of a sum charged on the family estate ceased with his life • while the sums he received from time to time fo r hi s " Recollections" were expended to providing for the increasing expenses of his young family. Under these distressing circumstances the friends of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now appeal to the liberality of her late husband's friends in London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for contributions to enable her to maintain and educate her children.

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 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. 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, andhave 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 £3,000 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.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.— The fear of pain and dread of opwation inherent to all detrr very many to whom ARTIE/CIA', TEETH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in IS3O, 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 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 support ng 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 tear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, na'ural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation tree. Teeth from ss, bets from 5 to 25 ge., warranted.

A great meeting of liberal electors and non-elec tors was held yesterday, in the Temperance Hall, Sheffield, to consider the Government Reform Bill, and to pass resolutions in its support. The unfa vourable state of the weather rendered it necessary to hold the meeting in the Temperance Hall, instead of Paradise-square, as was originally intended. The hall was crowded with a meeting representing the working classes. The Mayor (Mr. W. E. Laycock) presided ; and he was accompanied on the platform by the borough members, Mr. Roebuck and Mr. Hadfield, Mr. G. H. F. Beaumont, one of the mem bers for the South West Riding, &c. The members were received with loud and hearty cheering. The Mayor, who was received with loud cheers, said it afforded him great pleasure to convene and preside over the meeting which had been called to consider the great question of reform. Mr. Thomas Dunn moved the first resolution—" That this meeting desires to express its gratification that her Majesty's Government has shown itself resolved to urge upon Parliament the necessity of a reform in our elec toral system ; it cordially accepts the bill now before the House of Commons to enlarge the elective franchise as an honest and valuable measure; and confides in the present Government to follow it up by such a re-distribution of seats, that the industry, the intelligence, and the property of the country may be fairly represented in the Legislature." (Cheers.) If, he said, after ten or twelve years, when the Re form question had been mooted by all parties in the State as one necessary to be dealt with for the good of the country, Parliament, or any majority of Parliament, should turn round and say that because this Bill was not everything that they could wish— that party being anxious that there should be no Bill at all—(loud cheers) why then, if he knew his countrymen, that room would not be able to hold a tithe of the persons who would attend if there was found to be a disposition in the House of Commons to reject the Bill which had been brought in by the Government. (Cheers.) Mr. 11. F. BEAU3IONT, M.P., who on rising was received with loud cheers, said, when everybody was thinking of reform he did not want to appear apathetic in the Riding in which he had been so recently returned. As far as he understood the Government Bill on the night of its introduction he did not like it, because it was too limited ; but on considering it further he thought it worthy of support, for it proposed to lower the fran chise as far as the Government, in their wisdom, thought there was a chance of lowering it, and he was confident that that was the case, for there was a very strong opposition in the House of - Commons. He was perfectly prepared to support the Bill, be cause he considered it an honest measure. It would give substantial benefit to all classes—to the middle classes, who were now fairly represented—and a substantial benefit also to the artisan classes, who were now almost unrepresented ; and for that reason he thought it deserved their utmost support. Mr. Hadfield, M.P., strongly supported the Bill. A person named Neil attempted to move an amendment —similar in purport to that of Earl Grosvenor's— but the meeting would not hear him. A petition in favour of the bill was adopted. Mr. ROEBUCK, who was received with pro tracted cheers, said—The meeting has done me the honour to place in my hands its peti tion. As an old reformer, I feel that to be a great honour. It is not the first time in my life that I have supported reform, though this is the first time I have been called upon to express any opinion about the bill now introduced into the House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) I cannot understand the morality of that man—there is one man who will understand me—l cannot understand the morality of that man who says that I am to-day about to change. my phase and appear for the first time as a supporter of the bill. (Hear.) I think the bill is really an honest bill ; I cannot under stand the meaning of what is said about dishonesty in this bill. What is the intention of the bill? To enlarge the franchise ; and it does that, Mr. Glad stone said, and no doubt he spoke advisedly and is right ; he said it would increase the number of voters by about 300,000. It does that directly, but not only that. I, as an old reformer, for 33 years have been fighting to obtain the doing away with the ratepaying clauses. The bill of the Ministry does that. It moreover adopts some that I recol lect were some time ago rather sarcastically called " fancy franchises." I recollect incurring somewhat of your displeasure for supporting aidl that had fancy franchises ; and I am very glad to see any body come to my opinion. (Laughter and cheers.) I ask myself what is the necessity for this bill? What is pressing the Government to induce them tb introduce it ? The reason the Government has I l brought in this bill is not because the House of Commons is unworthy, but there are blots upon the electoral system which have had that effect. The first and greatest blot is the distribution of seats. The next blot is that classes are excluded from the franchise that in every way deserve it. Now, as a politician, having all my life studied statesmanship, I should agree with my hon. friend (Mr. Beaumont) and say, that I think the wisest plan would have been to have begun with a bill for the redistribution of seats. But as the Government; with whom rests the discretion and responsibility, have adopted another course, and have brought in a bill to en franchise certain classes not enfranchised, I submit myself to their judgment, and will do my best to aid them in passing their bill. Glad I am to say at the present time the intelligence of the working classes has so won upon the :lead ing men of the country as to force this upon their attention. I dare say it is not a very agreeable thing for an amazing num ber of gentlemen to vote for this bill. You will have unwilling supporters, but you cannot help that ; accept them. lam not one to turn round and abuse those gentlemen who have taken upon themselves to criticise this bill. If I thought badly of the bill I would say so, and I should think you very wrong if you turned round on me and said I was a rogue if I did that. I have a right to my opinion, and so have they. They stated that opinion in a manner which must have startled every one who heard them, so admirably, so eloquently, if I may say so much of those persons who opposed the bill. That is but just and fair to men who, knowing that in express ing those opinions they would incur the indignation of a large portion of their countrymen, yet had the oourage to express those opinions. Ido not agree with them, and shall do my utmost to oppose them. The Reform Bill will pass the House of Commons ; whether it will pass the other right honourable house is another question. (Laughter.) I recollect the passing of the great Reform Bill. 'lt won its way through the House of Lords by the threat of a re volution. We were ready to fight; we were really upon the brink of battle. We forced the House of Lords ; we frightened a man not easily frightened— the old Duke of Wellington. (Cheers.) He said, " I will no longer oppose this bill," and he left the House of Lords : he never did a wiser thing in his life. Our time is limited, and therefore all I will say is this, fairly and candidly, I will deal with this bill ; I will steadily support it ; and, by the grace of God, we shall carry it. (Loud cheers.) The pro ceedings terminated in the usual manner. BRlSTOL.—Yesterday an open air meeting, con vened at a very short notice, was held at Brandon hill, Bristol, for the purpose of considering the pro priety of supporting the Government Reform Bill. It was called by the Bristol Reform Union, a body com- z ~~ ~~ ~ PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. posed almost entirely of working men, and avowedly advocates of manhood suffrage. The weather though dry was bleak, and there was, all things considered, a fair attendance. Mr. Jennings was called to the chair, and, having briefly introduced the business, he called on Mr. Way, who moved the first resolu tion : —" That this meeting regrets that the Reform Bill now before,the House of Commons is not more comprehensive in its provisions, or based on the inherent right of every man of moral character to a share in the representation of the people. But, considering that the question at issue is whether the people shall further exercise their political rights or not, this meeting does not consider any member of the House of Commons worthy the support of working men who, under any pretence, refuses to support that bill." The speaker severely censured Mr. Lowe, Mr. Horsman, and Lord Grosvenor as toe political g cralkisnhams, and indignantly protested against t he first-nam e d gen tl eman ' s i nsu lti ng remar k s on classes. The Reform Bill was not up to their wishes, but it was honest and meant for good, and as such they accepted it, and would sup port it most heartily. Mr. Gawler seconded the resolution,- and contrasted the present Reform Bill with that of Lord Derby, - which he said gave with one hand and took away with the other. The reso lution having been carried with four or five dissen tients, Mr. Rogers proposed, That as the existing inequalities of representation to population will become greater by the present bill, this meeting trusts that the bill promised by the Government will embrace the whole of the subject, and by a wise redistribution of the seats remove such injustice from our representative system." The speaker pointed out some of the anomalies at present exist ing in our electoral system, and the class legislation which, as he considered, had sprung from them, and he invited his brother operatives to support a mea sure which would add 400,000 members to the electoral roll of England, and would go some way towards working out the needed reform. The re solution was seconded by Mr. Powell and adopted, and it was also resolved to petition Parliament in favour of the Government bill. A second reform meeting, convened by the Bristol Liberal Associa tion, is to be held a week hence. SOUTHWARK.--A public meeting of the inhabi tants of Southwark is to be held at the Bridge house Hotel, on Monday next, to consider the pro visions of the Government Reform Bill. SOUTHAMPTON.—A public meeting is to be held at the Victoria Rooms, Southampton, on Thurs day, to support the Government Reform Bill. EAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. ILLINOIS CEN TRAL, The report of the directors for the year 1865 states that this railway lost at the opening of the Ameri can war its Southern business, which had been growing up for many years. The close of the war found the season too far advanced to admit of planting, thus leaving what the war had spared of the capital and industry of the South to a great extent unemployed. Those circumstances placed the railway largely on its local resources for traffic during the past season. Notwithstanding Illinois had sent to the field over 200,000 men, they found the population and area of cultivation had steadily increased during the war. The gross earnings of the line for 1865 were $7,181,208, against $6,329,447 in 1864, being an increase of $851,761. The Mobile and Ohio Railway, an extension of their line from the Ohio river to the Gulf of Mexico, was hardly yet re-opened ; other Southern lines tributary to the Illinois Central had not been placed in working order. When those and other old channels of trade were re-opened, and the business relations of the North and South restored, they confidently expected to increase the traffic. For 60 days past all the rolling stock they could spare had been used in the transportation of supplies for the South, showing that the cotton, sugar, and tobacco plantations were now being re-constructed. Since the last an nual report they had earned $7,181,208 on the railway, they had received from collections in the land department $1,933,915, together $9,115,123. They had expended on permanent structures and increase of equipment $854,434, and for working $4,509,794. They had paid to the State their an nual tax of 7 per cent. on the gross earnings for the year ending October 31, 1865, amountin g , t o $496,490, they had paid in interest on the funded debt $810,050, and two dividends of 5 per cent. each on the capital stock amounting to $2,236,584, in addition to a stock distribution of $lO per share, and had reduced their funded debt by the redemption and cancellation of bonds £900,500. They commenced the new year with a balance of net cash assets on hand of £1,703,525, being $550,000 in excess of the dividend of 5 per cent. declared for Ist Feb. last and since paid, having a stock of sup plies on hand of $876,479. The amount of bonds cancelled on Dec. 31 was $2,341,500. During the past year the equipment of the line was increased by $532,541, and construction account for renewals and improvements to the amount of $321,893. The working stock was now equal to a traffic of $8,000,000 per annum. During the past year the earnings had increased by $851,761, and the work ing expenditure by $1,049,055. The sales in the land department were made to 2,364 purchasers of 155,057 acres, at an average of $12.07 per acre, for £1,872,310. Their rule was now to require the pay ment of one-fourth down on all sales made, and to sell only to actual settlers. There were 998,069 acres of land remaining unsold at the close of the year. In Dee., 1858, the debt of the company in round numbers was $19,500,000; now it was reduced to $12,300,000. BAHIA AND SAN FRANCISCO. The report of the directorsstates that the traffic of the line had shown a steady increase during the half year ending 31st Dec. last. This was partly due to the abundance of the crops produced in the district in immediate connection with the line, and partly to the improved arrangements of the managers, which were gradually attracting to the railway the mer chandise traffic of more distant parts. The expendi ture had been kept as low as was consistent with the well-being of theundertaking, and the increased traffic had resultedin a balance in favour of the com pany of £59,905. The traffic from July to December amounted to £16,034; fees, interest, and exchange to £1,144; balance from preceding account to £2,719 ; and the guaranteed interest for the half-year to £63,ooo—together £82,897. The expenditure in Bahia amounted to £21,422, and in London to £1,560, leaving a balance of £59,905. The directors recommended that from this balance a dividend for the half-year be declared of 12s. per share, making, with the dividend in the preceding half-year, a total dividend for the year of 6 per cent., and eafrryitnhge over £5,905, part of which was required , o e _ y completion of the bridges and culverts da,moar,,t,danbd the inundation mentioned in the comparative art for unsettled claims, against A com felt bound to make a reserve. expenditure showed that state ment of traffic receipts andbacixf whilchttlrle‘p.directors d P year ending the 31st to £17,178, against . 1864, showing an m ot the e D gr e o c s e s mber receipts llast t f o a r n t l o h L e i e h h e alf ex o p f exp enditure amounted to £12,104 for the same T crease of £5,074. £22,921 for th e past iialf-year, and to £ 24 ,926 for th e corresponding half o f 1864, showing a decrease of £1,93 5 . Th e difference between rece i pts and ex penditure for the past half-year amou n t e d t o £5 ,388, and for the same half of 1864 to £11,560, showing an improvement of £6,173 in the past half-year. His Excellency Don Manuel Pinto de Sauza Dantas, the President of the province of Bahia, being fully im pressed with the importance of making converging roads, had personally visited all parts of the line, and had given orders to commence the road from Sitio Fovo through the Subahuma district, to com plete the bridges on the Bomjardin-road, and to transfer the market from the town of Alagoinhas to a site adjoining the station. Those measures, if car- ried out with the same good faith and energy with which they have been initiated, would materially con tribute to the permanent prosperity of the under taking. It was therefore with increased confidence that the directors now recommended the proprie tors to adopt certain measures which at no great outlay would facilitate a more sure, speedy, and direct communication with the centre of the city of Bahia, and tend in other respects to encourage the traffic and improve the working of the line. Those measures consisted in the provision of two small but powerful steamers and three lighters for the purpose of con veying the passenger and merchandise traffic be tween the terminus and the city, in erecting a co vered building at Alagoinhas for the convenience of the market, and in building a row of improved cot tages for the English workmen at the workshops at Periperi. It had been also suggested to the direc tors that a small iun at Alagoinhas, to be let at a rental, would materially encourage the passenger traffic. To carry out those works the directors pro posed to borrow a sum not exceeding £20,000, to expend it gradually, as they might become satisfied that the returns would justify the outlay and con duce to the permanent prosperity of the line. The capital account showed that £1,796,549 had been expended. PORTPATRICK. The half-yearly meeting of this company wag held at Stranraer on Wednesday ; Col. 111‘Donall in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report (an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun), expressed the gratification of the directors in being enabled to give a dividend to the shareholders for the past half-year. It was satisfactory that the arrangement with the Caledonian Railway Company worked so well. The agreement was for 21 years, and in accordance therewith the line was novi being worked at 38 to be gradually reduced to 33 per cent. of the traffic receipts, which he considered was a very satisfactory arrangement and one which was already producing good results. The traffic by the steamers now running between Stranraer and Bel fast was rather small, owing to adverse circum- stances. The entire suppression of the cattle trade between Ireland and Scotland on account of the rinderpest formed one of these adverse circum stances —but he hoped the traffic of the steamers would soon increase, and that their next half-yearly report would show a more favourable statement. The directors bad not yet been able to make a satis factory arrangement with Government for the car riage of the mail s t o I reland. The negotiation stillpending to fulfil would, he hoped, y e t i n d uce t h e Go vernment heir engagements to the com pany. Mr. G. GUTIIRIE seconded the motion, which was unanimously carried. A dividend at the rate of 1 per "ti free of income tax, was declared payableper annum, on the 6th of April, and the proceedings terminated. AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS. The past week opened with a fine day, sunny and cloudy at intervals, wind N.W. Monday morning was thick, but it held up, and there was no rain until 9 p.m. ; wind round to the S.W. ; thermome ter 43 degrees ; barometer 30.5 inches. A fair por tion of fieldwork was proceeded with, the seed going into the ground well on all but the very heavy soils. Tuesday was a fine morning, but a heavy spring shower was experienced at 11 a.m., when it took up and was fine all the remainder of the day, with a brisk wind at W.S.W. ; thermometer 51 deg. ; barometer 30.10 inches. This improvement in the temperature will be serviceable, although the usual March winds would have proved more generally ac ceptable. Our advices on that day from Northum berland stated that " the weather had continued fine to the close of the past week, with the wind from the N.E. Since then it has been damp, the wind varying from the SE. to the S.W." From Suffolk it was remarked, " Barley sowing has been going on satisfactorily, but has come to a check, owing to wet weather. Thus far the seed has been deposited in good order." Wednesday was warm and spring like ; wind W.S.W. ; thermometer up to 58 deg. at mid-day, but the barometer down to 29.15 inches. Our advices from the east coast of Scotland stated, " Weather very mild, .and this afternoon wet." Another account says, "We have had a complete change in the weather during the past week, the temperature being now mild and spring-like." Thursday was a fine and cheerful day, warm and spring -like ; wind W. ; thermometer 52 deg., baro meter 30.05 inches. From Suffolk our advices stated, " The weather has varied, and during the last few days has been mild and spring-like; sow si n u g r r has ey w h e ee w n er c e arLi i e v d ise o d n t h p a r t e ty t h r e e g w u e l a a t r h l y e r .

Wheat is looking very healthy ; the growth of the plant has been much kept backby the weather, - which Ido not think unfavourable." From Warwickshire it was remarked : " Weather con tinued cold and stormy up to the close of last week, but we have since had the temperature many de grees milder, and farmers will now be enabled to proceed more rapidly with spring sowing." Friday was the finest day of all the month, sunny and warm, and had it been a working day spring til lage would have progressed extensively ; but, being Good Friday, the labourers had a holiday, and a cessation from this work. Our advices from Lin colnshire stated :—" We have now fine growing weather, but the low lands and heavy soils are not sufficiently dry for sowing at present. Turnips are nearly finished, so that the bulk of the barley will be put up in the ground at a seasonable time, for sometimes when turnips are plentiful seed time is delayed too long. Wheat looks almost without ex ception well and thick enough. The cattle plague is dreadful about here ; a friend of mine has buried seventy beasts." From the East Riding of York shire on the same day it was stated :—,‘ The wea ther has become warmer during the last day or two, and out-door work is progressing satisfactorily." A thorough change took place on Saturday morn ing, the wind having got round to the north-east. Rain set in, and much fell during the day, which was the more unfortunate, as the previous beautiful day had dried the land a good deal, and had it con tinued fine a great breadth of land would have t been finished. Still on the whole, during the past week a fair extent of ground had been i‘i r p e l h a planted d i now tolerably good order.
