The object, which is now well understood, is to give to the Investor of moderate means the same advantages as the large capitalist, in diminishing the risk of investing in Foreign and Colonial Government Stocks, by spreading the investment over a number of different Stocks, and reserving a portion of the extra interest and the amounts received in redemption as a Sinking Fund to pay off the original capital ; and, in addition, to give to each Sub uriber a pro rata participation in the ultimate reversion in these different Stocks, which will remain when the return of the original capital has by these means been accom plished. The Trust of the Second. Issue will last for twenty-five years, at the expiration of which time it is estimated that a large proportion of the Certificates will, in all probabi lity, have been paid off, and that a large proportion of the Stocks will still remain for distribution as a reversion; accordingly the Trust will be wound up as soon as all the Certificates have been drawn, or at the end of twenty-five years, whichever shall first happen, the remaining Stocks being then sold, and any Certificates not previously drawn being first paid off, after which the balance will form the reversion to be distributed pro rata. For each £BO of the total amount subscribed will be issued a Certificate of £lOO with Coupons attached, bearing 5 per cent. interest, payable at the Banking-house of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, Currie, and Co. half yearly, on the 15th of January and the 15th of July, the first Coupon for the proportion of the half year falling due on the 15th July next. In addition to the Interest Coupons, a Coupon, repre senting the share accruing to the Certificate-holder in the above reversion, will bo attached to each Certificate. This Coupon of Reversion will be retained by the holder when the Certificate is drawn, and entitle him to a pro rata divi sion of the ultimate reversion. The advantages of the investment may be summed up as follows: 1. interest at £6s. bs. per cent. on the :amount sub scribed. 2. A bonus of £2O per cent. by the repayment of capi tal at par. 3. A reversion, eventually divisible among the holders of the Coupons of Reversion. Application to be made in the annexed Form, accom panied by a deposit of £lO per cent. Payments to be made as follows: _ On application £lo 0 0 On allotment 7O 0 0 £BO 0 0 - - Prospectus and Forms of Application may be ob tained of W. B. Rose, Esq., Secretary, and of Messrs.

MOSELY, the Dentist by special appointment, 312, REGENT-STRI T, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic, and 23, MoORGATE-STItEET, CITY. Established 1820. This, the most perfected system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by Mr. B. L. Mosely, is recommended by the Hospitals and adopted by the profession as one of the greatest improvements of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration of the natural functions, can solely be obtained in such perfected success (the result of forty years' practical experience) at his only residences, as above. The superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity from pain, no operations, stumps and decayed teeth rendered useful, loose teeth and tender gums protected. Qualities: These teeth never change colour or decay—in fit unerring ease and comfor t unsurpassed —detection impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied— and youthful appearance restored—mastication and arti culation guaranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says :—" So good an imitation becomes the next best thing to the original." Teeth from 55.; sets, sto 30 guineas.

The Times however, declares that the prosecution has been at tended with very incomplete success. The conviction of an agent is not worth the machinery that was put In operation. "We begin to despair of any good from inquiries and prosecutions. The persons bribed are too numerous and obscure to be punished with any good effect, and the worst of the bribers—the very master spirits of corruption—always contrive either to obtain indemnity in return for their evidence, or to escape by some ingenious device of their own or some mischance of their opponents."

The provisions of the first three clauses of the bill before Parliament are compared with proposals made by the writer himself for establishing a " parliamentary tenant-right." The clause as to the Ulster tenant-right, says he, cannot be carried. out. The difficulty lies in the vagueness and non existence of the Ulster tenant-right. The custom varies in different estates, and even in different farms on the same estate. The bill will make the Ulster Custom legal; but there is no holding or farm on which it may be said that any usage prevails as to compensation to outgoing tenants. It seems that the only boon to be given to the tenant is the right of going to law, by which he may manage to get some compensation. The country will be kept in a chronic state of litigation. Parlia ment delegates its duty to assistant barristers, and directs them to lay down the principles the Legisla ture ought to define. THE IRISH CHURCH CONVENTION. The Irish. Church Convention has at length agreed .;o the draft of the document which is necessary to give the Irish Church of the future a legal status. En pursuance of the power vested in the Convention by the Irish Church Act of 1869, it provides for the appointment of persons, hereafter to be named, as a corporation, which is to have continuance for ever oy the name of the Representative Body of the Church of Ireland. This corporation is to ce composed of three classes, to be called the ex-officio, the elected, and the co-opted members. The ex-officio members are to be the .rchbishops and bishops of the Church of Ireland, .or the time being, and the elected members to consist )f one clerical and two lay representatives for each diocese. The co-opted members are to consist of ersons equal in number to the number of such dioceses, and to be elected by the ex-officio and re presentative members. The remainder of the docu ment provides for the duties of the Corporation in detail, and the manner in which the members shall be elected. THE CASE AGAINST MR. MACKONOCHTE. The case of Martin v. Mackonochie, which was to lave come before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has been withdrawn. The application would have been to have the monition of their lordships given in Decem ber last against kneeling or prostration during the prayer of the consecration of the holy elements )f the Communion and the elevation of the paten lud cup put in force. Several affidavits had been Shed by the defendant. WHAT IS A MONK' $ Father Ignatius has delivered a lecture in London, on the subject, " What is a Monk ?" the personal appearance of the rev. gentleman was sufficient in itself to answer the question, as far as dress was concerned. He was attired in a nonk's cowl, and carried in his hand a three !ornered hat. He said the Church of Rome had accomplished a good object in establishing convents and monasteries in this country. The Church of Eng land had boldly instituted convents, but they had a. yet built no monastery in the land. The word " monk," he said, signified a man who lived a solitary life. Hence, therefore, he, because he travelled among men, and preached to them, was not a monk. The term, he observed, of his monastic life had not yet come, as he had a mission to fulfil first, namely ? to collect funds for the cause. The nobility of this land, he averred, held thousands of acres pillaged from the monasteries. He did not, however, charge the nobility of this age with the actual theft, but he did assert that many high families now_living were suffering judgment for the crime of withholding that which was stolen by their ancestors from the poor. MILITIA OFFICERS. The Army and _Navy Gazette, in answer to a cor respondent, lays down the law as to the custom of Militia officers of the rank of field-officer or captain to retain their rank and title at all times. Though it is not quite universally done, it is strictly correct to do so, not only at the periods of annual training, but always. In the opinion of the paper referred to, the omission of a field officer or captain of militia so to style himself leads to the suspicion that he is either ashamed of his rank, or impressed with the idea that as plain Mr. Jones, the squire of the parish, ho is, like Lord Castlereagh at Vienna, bier distingue. We know that in seaport towns and along the Thames every owner of a barge is called "captain," but there are vast differences even with the same specific titles, and Sereant Talfourd and Sergeant J oll y of the Marines are a not precisely in the same social scale. " The true rule for a gentleman to adopt is this—to avoid ostentation. Of the two prides we prefer the honest pride in a title, to the pride which apes humilit y in dropping a title. If an officer is currently known as Captain Jones of the Blankshiro Militia, Captain Jones he should call himself and write himself upon his card." NEW MILITARY DISTRICTS. Great Britain has been divided into military dis tricts on a different scale from that which has been formerly in force. The organization of the reserve force will be facilitated by the new system placing it under the control of the general and other officers commanding. Dover is still the head-quarters of the South Eastern District, and Portsmouth of what is now termed the Southern district. The whole of the Western Counties will report to the officer in command at Devonport. The Eastern District is a new one, with head-quarters at Colchester. The Northern District, with its head quarters at Manchester, is enlarged, and a new dis trict, called the Home District, has been created. Witn its head-quarters at London. Scotland Is divided into three sub-districts, and the command of Aldershott and Woolwich, remain unchanged. All reference to Ireland is omitted in the circular which sets forth these changes: BREECH-LOADING RIFLES. Some of the consequences of the use of breech loading rifles in modern warfare have been pointed out by a German writer on the campaign of 1860. This author says that one general result of the use of the improved weapon, in his opinion, i s to restore the individuality of the men, which the conditions of modern warfare had previously made small account of ; and yet without destroying, but rather increasing, when wisely used, the homogeneity of the army. The captain becomes the most important officer, because in every fight the tendency will be for the line to break up into columns of companies ; a major, a colonel, or a general may be found with oni3r a company left to command, their lines being broken up and scattered in disjointed parts of the battle. It is also the opinion of this writer that an army which cannot take advantage of the mani fest tendency which he points out, can never reckon on the advantages to be derived from the use of the breech-loader. THE DIEItCHANT SHIPPING CODE. A copy of the memorial presented to the Board of Trade on the subject of the Merchant Shipping Code Bill by th9..4ssooiggcl Chamber of Commerce. has ueen punnsnect. The memorialists recommend that a periodical inspection of all sailing ships and steam ships not carrying passengers, unclassed at Lloyd's, mr by the Liverpool Underwriters' Association, should be compulsory. They suggest that the Bill should contain provisions for the prevention of overloading, either by competent inspection, a fixed maximum load line, or otherwise. Also that it should provide means for obtaining surveys by competent persons, judically appointed in all cases where a ship puts into any harbour in distress or in an unseaworthy condition. They protest against the proposal to make a consigner or agent of a ship liable for penalties which may become due from the master and owner, and for dues which by any part of the bill are made payable in respect of any ship, as unjust in principle. Finally they recommend as a means of increasing the supply of efficient sailors for the mercantile marine that the bill should contain provisions for the establishment and maintenance of training ships for boys intended for sea. THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE. The return of Mr. Darbishire to his old post of stroke in the Oxford boat has given rise to an angry controversy, which all the precedents urged by the Oxonians do not suffice to allay. Undoubtedly, men who have taken their degree, and.who no longer re iii3e at their university, have rowed in these matches, both for Oxford and for Cambridge. Indeed, one Cantab says that he can scarcely remember . a Cambridge University eleven that has not included non-resident B.A.'s among it most efficient members. and who, unlike Mr. Darbishire, had bidden farewell to their University for ever. But the malcontents are not satisfied with these arguments. About the matter of precedent no question is raised. But it is contended that the race is pre sumedly between the young men in course of educa tion at the two universities in statu pupillari; and though there may be exceptions, yet the rule should in general be kept; and Mr. Darbishire occupies too conspicuous a position in the "rowing world" for him to do what might readily be permitted to ob scurer individuals. Such are the pleas on both sides. tTNITED STATES' BONDS. A Liverpool merchant relates what he deems a story of wrong on the part of the United States Go vermnent. He bought some part of their Seven thirty Bonds, the first series of which were issued in June, 1865, and matured in June, 1868. These, like most other American bonds issued at short date, con tained a clause for renewal or conversion. This clause was a most important and tempting one, to the effect that they were at maturity payable at par, or, at the option of the holder, convertible into 5-20 Bonds, also at par. About the time of maturity they, with most other United States' Government Bonds, had risen in market value to some 8 or 10 per cent. above par; so the Secretary of the Treasury issued a notice that all bonds not presented for conversion within a • certain period after maturity would be refused such conversion, and paid off only at par in currency. Now this notice, though extensively advertised in the American newspapers, was not announced in Europe, where so many of these bonds are held, and in fact the American diplomatists were ignorant of the stipulation six months after it was issued. The Liverpool merchant inadvertently omitted to send his bonds to be converted, and the result was that they were refused. Others were treated simi larly. The complainant thinks he has been subjected to a mild phase of repudiation, and declines any more dealings iu United States' bonds. PROGRESS IN FRANCE. After the Orsini affair took place, a law of general safety was voted by the Chambers in France, which gave the force of law to the violent decrees of the coup d'etat. This was a relic of evil times. It has now been repealed by the Senate, and it is interesting to observe what was the force of its operation when it existed. It could not be compared with our suspen sion of the Habeas Corpus, or the Peace Preservation Act. It placed every citizen's life and liberty at the instant, unconditional; and unquestioned disposal of the secret police, without so much as a form of trial before a military or a mixed tribunal. The unanimous assent of the Senate to its repeal may be considered an earnest of better days to come, as the happy transformation of the Empire into a reign of law and temperate liberty could hardly be said to have begun in earnest until the old law of public safety was abrogated. SCENE IN THE HIGH COURT AT TOURS• The scene which, as has been already mentioned, took place at the trial of Prince Pierre on Thursday, was one of terrible violence. Some disparaging remarks had been made by an advocate, and in return Prince Pierre, who generally sits passively, violently exclaimed that the indi vidual depreciated possessed that courage which was wanting to the Republican faction. It was at this moment, says the Times correspondent, that a loud ringing voice was heard throughout the hall. "Il a bien assassind Victor Noir" were the words which I distinctly heard. Then an awful tumult arose, when the exclamations " Assassin ! A. l'assas sin !" again resounded. " I stood up, and looked back from our Press stalls into the thronged pit in our rear, and saw it convulsed with excited groups swaying to and fro, while in the middle stood Ulric de Fon vielle in the hands of about a score of gendarmes, who shook and dragged him violently, his friends vainly endeavouring to press forward to the rescue, but being forcibly held back by the neutrals, or by men of the opposite, or Imperialist party. On the very first alarm Prince Pierre Bonaparte stood up in the dock, burst open the door behind him, and vanished through it, followed by the Captain of Gendarmes acting as his escort. He had evidently been prepared for some riot which might serve as a signal for an attempt on his life, and had probably been instructed in any case of alarm to rush from the hall." Awe and amazement prevailed everywhere. After the ordinary sitting of the court was over, M. de Fonvielle was brought in, and made no attempt to deny, but rather boasted, of having said : " You have in truth assassinated Victor Noir, you Pierre Bonaparte, look me in the face, and deny it if you dare. Assassin ! Assassin !" He was sentenced. to ten days' imprisonment for Outraging the majesty of the court. THE " NATIONAL " PRESS ON T3E COERCION BILL• The "National" journals made a good thing of the Coercion Bill in one way, at the close of last week. They sold well: curiosity being felt as to what they would say on the subject. The Irishman is quieter than the Nation, and there is a boast in both that they are within the law, and always have been so. Mr. J. W. Sullivan contrasts the press laws of France with those of England, of course to the disadvantage A* the latter. The Nation attacks the Chief Secre :ary, Sergeant Dowse, and Dr. Ball, and observes that if the press clauses of Mr. Gladstone's bill were brought in as a distinct Act of Parliament, .the National press would be spared an insult. But ;he course taken by the Ministry in introducing the clauses in a measure designed for the repression of - tgrarian crime is a "mean and fraudulent trick." the Irishman declares, at the end of what can aot be termed other than an eloquent article, that the horrors of '9B are revived, with but slight modifica tion. It protests against those Irish members who voted for the bill, and concludes thus :—" The i Joercion Bill may pass, but liberty will survive into t.— the Irishman may be destroyed, but the people will never be thus trampled friendship. And if its press dies, yet shall an avenger rise from la bones." puonc meeting was next at it.udare yesterday to protest against the contemplated eviction of forty-two families on the Duke of Leinster's property. Lady Gardiner fell down in a fit of paralysis the other day, when calling on a friend, and it is feared she will not recover. Miss Burdett Coutts is indisposed. The defalcations of a collecter of internal revenue in New York, named Bailey, have come to light. They amount to $125,000. No clue has yet been found to his whereabouts. The amount of pay forfeited by soldiers by sentence of court-martial during the year ending December 31st, 1869, was £6,771 6s. Bd., and the balances in deserters' accounts £1,19815. 7d. Seven men were yesterday committed for trial by the Tipperary magiitrat6s fur Lasgal drilling. One of the prisoners was a militiaman, and n was proved that on one occ4sion he acted as drill, instructor. This case came before the Committee to-day, in the shape of an appeal from the Court of Arches, against an order made on the 30th October, by the Right Hon. R. J. Phillimore, D.C.L., the Judge. The appellant is Mr. Thomas Byard Sheppard, of Frome Selwood, Somerset shire, and the respondent the Rev. James Earley Bennett, vicar of the same place. Mr. Archibald Stephens, Q.C., Dr. Tristram, Q.C., and Mr. Shaw appeared as counsel for the appellant, and I:11 respondent did not enter an appearance. The case was originally promoted in the Court of Arches by letters of request and under the seal of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. Among other charges against Mr. Bennett, he was accused of having caused to be printed and published certain works which contained doctrine contrary and repugnant to the articles and for mularies of the Church. One of these works was en titled " Some Results of the Tractarian Movement in 1833," which formed an essay in a volume called " The Church and the World," which was edited by the Rev. Orby Shipley, and published in 1867. Another of the works was " A Plea for Toleration in the Church of England," being in the shape of letters to Dr. Pusey, published in 1867 and 1868. The case has been before the public for a long time, there having previously been one appeal to the Judicial Committee against the decision of the Judge of the Court of Arches. The 26th October last was appointed for hearing the case in the Arches' Court, but at that time, wh en th e articles were pro duced,.the Judge declined to accept them, on the ground that they were at variance with the letters of request and with the citation. This point being disputed, an appeal was granted, and, as stated, it came on for argument to-day. Mr. Stevens, in a very lengthy spee c h, p o i n t e d ou t t h at the Dean of Arches had ruled that the articles should be limited in the charge to the points of which notice had been given in the citation, and that as the articles con tained specific charges, and the citation only ieferted generally to the works in which were the points which were the subject of the proceedings, the citation and b articles could not be said to be alike, ut that they were at variance. He (Mr. Stevens) contended that this was not so, and that to all intents and purposes they were alike. The citation contained the names of the works upon which the proceedings were being taken, and upon which the articles were drawn ; and it was not necessary that it should do more than this. The citation was merely the form of commencing the proceedings, and it was not necessary that it should contain the specific charges. His object was to bring Mr. Bennett into court upon his works, and the court, by the letters of request, he contended, was bound to try the question. The Lord Chancellor : You contend that under the citation you have a right to use any charges of heresy against Mr. Bennett, which may be contained or may arise in any passage of the works mentioned in the cita tion. Mr. Stephens : That is so, my lord. The Lord Chancellor : And that you must use those works only, and not be allowed to import fresh works into the case. Mr. Stephens , Just so ; excepting one special matter, which I will come to presently. The Lord Chancellor : Then we are with you In that respect. The charges are contained in the works which are mentioned in the citation, and any extracts from thong will be admissable. Mr. Stephens then continued his argument upon the article, setting forth that Mr. Bennett believed in the real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Dr. Tristram declined to address their lordships, and after a consultation, The Lord Chancellor said this was an appeal against a decision of the judge of the Court of Arches by which he had ordered certain articles against Mr. Bennett to be reformed by omitting all such parts as charged the respon dent with contravening the 29th article of the Church, and the learned judge came to the conclusion on two distinct grounds, both of which had been argued bef?re them, and they considered that the judge's decision was correct, and he would say upon which of those two grounds they agreed with the conclusion he had arrived at. They did not concur with him on his first ground, but they thought the second ground which went more to the merits and substance of the case WWI the substantial ground upon which the decision shoukke supported. In that it was held that this particular charge of heresy was not brought before the commissioners and not mentioned in the letter of request, the decree of cita tion, and having regard to the practice by which it was ruled, the articles.must be amended by striking oi.it i that portion of it which charged Mr. Bennett with contra vening the 29th article. Mr. Bennett, it would appear, publiaied certain works, and the first step taken was that of issuing a commission to inquire whether or not further proceedings should be taken. The commission declared that there were grounds, and the re sult was the citation was issued. Nothing arose out of it in this case, but it might be as well to state at once that the commission was simply for the purpose of advising the Bishop, and having performed that function, the Bishop was left to take his own course. In the citation they held that it was necessary the respondent should be toloi gene rally what were the charges against him, but it w not necessary to give the details, which were set fortk afterwards in the articles. Therefore the considered that in this case the citation held good. The more serious question to deal with was whether the articles were supported by the p in Mr. Bennett's works alluded to. In this respect the judge had decided that the articles should be awarded if they felt bound to concur with him. Taking the passages which Mr. Bennett quoted, they could not say that he gave his adhesion to anything which impugned the 29th article. They could not allow the protest which was re ferred to, and which was signed ten years ago to weigh against him, because in no place he reiterated the views therein contained as to the Beal. Presence and the reception by the wicked. It he had adopted certain views of others it could not be concluded that he agreed with them in tot4,and the only reference they found was a qualified cote. They had complied in this, that the articles set forth the pas sages upon which they intended to rely, but then those passages did not bear out the charge. Their lordships therefore decided that the judge was justified in ordering the articles to be reformed, and they dismissed the appeal. As the respondent did not appear, no order is to bo 12;tado as to costs. POLITICAL GOSSIP. A correspondent of th e L ee d s Mercury Wass "It is rumoured that the report of the Commission on Irish Education is in the hands of the Government, but that for sufficient reasons there is no intention at present to make it public. It is alleged that, with one exception, the commissione rs re p or t i n f avour o f th e d enom i na ti ona l scheme advocated by Cardinal Cullen. The House of Commons is hardly prepared for the extension of the de nominational system to Ireland, but it is no secret that the views of some of the most influential members of the Government coincide with those of Cardinal Cullen upon this subject. The London correspondent of the Birmingham Gazette states that the current belief is that there will be con-. siderable reductions in the duty on sugar, and that the duty on tea will be reduced by one-half. The same Tjournal says that Mr. Stansfeld is likely to leave the reasury and become Financial Minister to the War. Office. Mr. Cardwell greatly needs his help, but Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Lowe will miss him much at the Treasury. The London correspondent of the Manchester Courier thinks it probable that room will soon be found in the ministry for Sir Roundell Palmer. Either Sir R. Collier will go to the Court of Exchequer and Sir R. Palmer will become Attorney-General, or Lord Hatherley, who is described as anxious to retire into ease, will make way on the woolsack for the member for Richmond. It should be added that our contemporary's correspondent has a peculiar facility in the manufacture of canards. The London correspondent of the Sheffield Independent says that Sir John Coleridge will introduce before Easter a bill for dealing with University Test% which will have the authority of the Government WI satisfy the Nonconformists. SCENE IN A YANKEE POLICE COURT.—Lawyer: How do you identify this handkerchief ? Witness : By its general appearance, and the fact that I have other* like it.

THE BISHOP OF MORAY AND Ross.—lt appeum, that there is a movement on foot in Edinburgh threatens to remove from Inverness one of our most wider and popular citizens—the Primus of the Scottish Episcopal: Church, Bishop Eden. The Primus is now acting bishop of the diocese of Edinburgh, and circumstances have lately arisen which, in the opinion of the Episcopalians there, render it expedient f or th e Ch urc h th a t th e P r i mus s h ou ld demit his northern charge, and transfer his services to Edinburgh exclusively. We understand that a very strong representation has been made to the Primus on this point, which, however, has not been published ; on the other hand, the clergy and laity of the diocese of Moray and Ross view with alarm the prospect of losing their bishop, and have come forward with a memorial which will probably receive the support of every one is the province connected with the Episcopal Church.... Inverness Courier. A singular case of intermarriage has occulred it Walsall. A woman applied to the guardians for relief, stating that her husband refused to live with her. The van justified himself on the ground that she was the widow of his deceased brother, and therefore that her mar riage with him was illegal. The wife retorted that another wife of the first. husband was living when she married him. That marriage was, she contended, illegal, and con sequently she claims his brother as her legitimate husband. The guardians ordered her temporary relief, until they in• quire into the truth of her story. , _ _ _ _
