The su perlative excellence of this system is perfee, immunity from pain, no operations, stumps, and decayed teeth ren dered useful, loose teeth and tender gums protected. Qualities : These teeth never change colour or decay—in fit unerring—ease and comfort unsurpassed—detection impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied and youthful appearance restored—mastication and articulation guaranteed.

May be soon again, if worthy judges are selected. Appointments calculated to exercise a considerable influence on the Supreme Court of the United States would of themselves besuffi eient to attract the national attention ; but the rejection of a nomination to one of these vacancies has proved of still greater inte rest. President GRANT attempted to fill both, and in each instance he was foiled ; by death in the one case, and by the Senate in the other. The rejection of Judge ROCKWOOD HOAR'S name is significant of such events as a struggle between the Senate and the Executive, and of the other States against the pre ponderating sway of New England. Therefore this occurrence, seemingly unimportant to the world, is really not of mere local but of universal interest. The chief reson given by the Senate for rejecting the Attorney-General is that he is a Massachusetts' man, to whom a Southern Circuit should not be as signed. Politically he opposed the recognition of Cuba, and his moderation made him appear an enemy to the war-horses of both parties. Personally he is unpopular in the Senate, and it was there asserted that he was unpopular with the nation. He is curt, arbitrary, and honest ; therefore the last man for working well any wheel-within-wheel in trigue. He bestowed the patronage of his office on those be considered best fitted for the posts, not on the nominees of the Senators, and this, with many of his legal decisions, has given umbrage. As a lawyer, only one opinion prevails, which is, that there is no other in the whole country better qualified for that great promotion in the profession. Mr. HOAR was a leader at the bar and on the Supreme Bench of Massachusetts for nearly twenty years, and no Court stood higher than it, while he and Judge Shaw presided. Putting aside locality, as it ought to be in a selection for a post so important, for which very few are fitted by nature and attain ments, little remained against Judge HOAR not at tributable to prejudice and dislike, mostly engen dered by qualities which should have told in his favour. The A'ation asserts that the Southern Sena tors who led in opposition " are as poor a race of men as ever manipulated caucuses or called con ventions," forming one of the most gigantic rings, organized solely to perpetuate their own rule. Tuis " ring" elects the Southern Senator, andbe supports the " carpet-bag" interest. The unexpressed reason, "the average American," the same paper says, " would describe as too much Boston." " Boston" does not mean a certain collection of houses, streets, awl persons, " i.ut an impalpable subtle essence pervad ing men's manners and their way of looking at men and things, and conveying the impression to the beholder that in the opinion of Bostonians other Americans are also GoD's creatures, and have been endowed by him with many fine qualities, and will probably with time and care come out all right in the end." New England is conscious of this reason for I Judge HOAR'S rejection, and supports him to'a man. The carpet-bagger is not a favourite with the Bos tonian, and would have little chance there against a genuine Southern gentleman. " If," says the Springfield Republican, " an Arkansas Senator, re presenting GOD knows whom, went up to Judge HOAR, and demanded that h distinguished friend from Illinois via Little Rock should be made marshal, he was thrown into a swearing rage by being toad that the office was already filled, and went back to hishotel vowing vengeance on HOAR." Thus he madam. the G3Tpet-baggers ; DLit what is of ' more importance, the Senate asserted the in dividual right of Senators to suggest tiames for office by rejecting an eminent and highly trained lawyer, who had disregarded this cus tom. It is not prob Lble that the PRESIDENT could without chagrin observe the action of the Chamber. It indicates the intention of that legis lative body to uphold a system one of its members has prorosed to make illegal, to which many of the gravest evils are attributable, and which is fraught with corruption. No exception could be taken to the PRESIDENT'S choice on the plea of qualifications, and, in answer to the objection of locality, the PRE SIDENT might require that a Southern lawyer, fitted for the Bench not disqualified by the Reconstruc tion Acts, should be suggested. What is grave in the action of the Senate is the rejection of a person admitted by his profession as well as the public at large to be the most suitable man to fill a very high post, for it foreshadows war with the Executive. The Springfield Republican denounces " the en croaching, insolent claims of Congress to dispose of offices as political rewards ;" and it is evident from the general tone of the American press, iu case this little jar should end in hostilities, that the PRESIDENT will be well backed. Gan. GRANT is determined at all events to retain his Attorney-General,for whom he openly expresses his high respect awl warm feelings of friendship. He will withdraw the name when the Senate reconvenes, but as he will not se lect a Northerner he remains perplexed how to fill from the South a post national in its responsibility. Judge STRONG, and the Hon. JOHN A. WELLs, of Pennsylvania, are spoken of in succession to Mr. STANTON, but it is the other vacancy which puzzles the PRESIDENT. An article in the Tribune, entitled " Fatal Friendships," attributed to the advocacy of the Nation and the North American Review the Senate's opposition to Judge HOAR. The other reasons were subordinate, the main objection being to put in the most important post a man who could be endorsed by the Nation and the North American Review. After calling the Nation "an obscure weekly" the Tribune adds, " It is conceding by far too much importance to any fourth-rate journalist when you allow him to take the scalp of his own friend." On this the Republican remarks, "It is difficult to say whether such a reason is a greater insult to the intelligence of the Senators or to the intelligence of the Tribune's readers. It is quite certain that it is a very great belittling of a con troversy which involves the prerogatives of two branches of the Government, and whose issue threatens a breach in the Republican party, or the disgrace of its PRESIDENT. Most papers that think it necessary to amuse their readers with a Punch and Judy department devote the last page to it ; but on the Tribune it threatens to monopolize the editorial columns." NAVAL ITEMS.—Hitherto the officers of the U.S. Navy have been prohibited from visiting the District of Columbia without permission from Washington ; hut this order is now rescinded—thus far the relative rank question has been settled. Past Assistant Paymaster and First Assistant Engineers will rank with Lieu tenants; Second Assistant Engineers with Masters; Third Assistant Engineers with midshipmen, who have graduated at the Naval Academy.—The follow ing is an abstract of the new alterations and addi tions made to the regulations for the Navy: The Ad miral's flag is of rectangular shape, blue in colour, with four white stars in the centre, forming a diamond, and is to be worn at the main of vessels, and in the bow of his barge or tender, and his salute to be 17 guns ; all other honours and ceremonies the,same as now authorised for the Vice- Admiral. The flag of a Commodore is a swallow-tailed, broad pendant, of blue colour, and one white star, and is autho'rised to be so displayed by officers of that rank.— The Swatara arrived at Aspinwall, under sail, in 17 days from New York, and she was to start on her return trig on the 22d Dec. —The Lancaster reached Madeira, flying the flag of Admiral Lanman, on the 21st Dec., after a stormy passage from Hampton Roads. --Admiral Thos.

One of the most gorgeous religious ceremonials ever witnessed in Liverlool, even in film 'days of Ritualist magnificence, took place on Sunday, in the consecration of the New Greek Church. The occasion was one of great oezclesiastical interest from its novelty and large numbers were present to witness the ceremony. The members of the church itself are not very numerous, the 600 sittings which the new edifice contains being amply sufEcient for the whole Greek community in the city. But though comparatively small in numbers it is wealthy and commercially important. Hitherto they have had no public place of worship but assembled in a house in Landon-terrace, and so far back as 1865 they discussed the erection of the building which on Sunday was consecrated by Archbishop Lycur gus, of . Syra and Tenos. It has been built on a triangular piece of land, placed, as usual, directly east and west, and is constructed of red brick and light stone, and the styleof architectureis Byzantine. The walls are inalternate bands of brick and stone ; the central dome of the church covered with lead surmounted by a gilt cross, rises from the intersection of the nave and transept roofs, and fcrn3s a Greek cross. • The plan and general arrangements of the building are based upon those of. the Church of the Saint Theotokos at Constantinople, which was erected in the fifth century. It is a very handsome building, and has cost about £14,000. There are eight magnificent marble columns in Sicilian white-veined marble, their whole height with plinth and capital being 22 feet 6 inches. These are a gift of G. Papayanni, Esq., a Greek merchant, who has been one of the principal subscribers to the church. The peculiar accessories required by the Greek service, the altar, or agia trapeza, the holy screen, the throne, stalls, &c., have all been carefully provided and are very beautiful, the throne in particular is almost regal in its character. Archbishop Lycurgus, who performed the ceremony of consecration, is one of the profoundest scholars and one of the most eloquent orators of his Church. The services began, in fact, on Saturday evening, when high vespers • were sung in the presence of the Archbishop, who deposited certain relics at the altar. Lighted candles were placed on the holy table, and a watcher remained throughout the night. On Sunday morning the church was crowded at a very early how, and was brilliantly lighted. The Archbishop and suite arrived at nine o'clock, and were received with the chanting of the Greek national anthem and doxology. He was first arrayed in his ordinary episcopal robes of claret-coloured and white milk embroidered with gold, with the hat usually worn by Greek priests, and the deep black veil at the back. Having assumed his -staff of office, he ascended the throne, and commenced the service by singing prayers, a,mengst them the Te Deuni. The deacons who had been standing near him, then turned towards the screen which separates the sanctuary from the body of the ehurch, and called in a loud voice, " Priests come forth." The priests who were in the sanctuary came forth, each bearing a silver plate, with some article of wearing apparel belonging to the grand episcopal robes. The Archbishop descended from the throne and having been divested of his ordinary robes, was arrayed in the full insignia of office The mantle is of white satin, interwoven with gold, and adorned with figures of the Saviour, the Virgin, and the Evangelists. The robe was fastened with a jewelled cross, with a resplendent ruby. The Archbishop's mitre was the most brilliant object being in fact a gorgeously jewelled crown. Its form was circular, like the mitre worn by Jewish priests. and it was composed of maroon velvet, fitted to the head by a band of gold. Elaborate designs wrought in gold started from its base, each being surmounted by a large pearl. Above these came diamonds, emeralds, and other ornaments, the whole being surmounted by a cross several inches high, omposed of splendid diamonds. The dresses of the arcbi mandrites were composed of some glittering material em broidered with bright-coloured flowers. Those of the deacons were plainer, but still handsome. Leaving the o44aix in which he had been arrayed, the Archbishop preceded to the sanctuary and took the relics he had left there the previous evening. A procession was formed, headed by the choir and the priests. After the ecclesiastics came the Greek Minister of State, the consuls and others bearing lighted candles of immense size, each having three distinct wicks. This part of the affair had its ludicrous aspect, as the wind blew the candles about, and the tallow streamed down the evening costume of their bearers. They marched out of the church and proceeded round the building,prayeis being read, and s everal parts of the Gospel. This cere mony was three times repeated, after which the Archbishop in a loud voice, said, in the Greek language, "Lift up Tour heads, oh ye gates, and be lift up ye everlasting doors, and the King of Glory shall come in." At this period of the service the church was supposed to be empty with the exception of one priest, who from within replied, " Who is this King of Glory?" The archbishop answered, " The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. He is the King of Glory." These questions having been three times put and answered, the archbishop, with the holy relics, made the sign of the cross upon the middle doors or sates, and then the doors of the church were opened, and the procession entered, the choir and congre gation singing a hymn. This concluded the consecration of the exterior, and the rites for consecrating the interior were then proceeded with. Prayers and processions took place, and the archbishop placed on the holy table four pieces of aromatic soap in the form of a cross. Warm water was brought, and blessed, after which his grace poured it on the table in the form of three crosses, and washed the table, which was then sprinkled with orange flower water. This is in remembrance of the spices and ointments used at Jerusalem by the holy women. Red wine was next poured on and wiped off with small pieces of linen. These are carefully preserved, and will be taken by the Archbishop to Constantinople to receive printed impres sions, after which they become sacred. Other cere monies of a similar kind were observed, the Archbishop anointing the columns already spoken of with sacred ointment. The lamp over the altar was then lighted, which must not expire so long as the Church lasts, and the act of consecration was declared to be duly performed. The Archbishop pronounced the benediction from the altar, the choir singing the while. He then , assisted in the Liturgy, and offered spe cial prayers. The office of consecrating a Greek priest followed, and the ceremony, which had occupied more than four hours, came to a close. Some disappointment was felt that Archbishop Lycurgus who is renowned for his oratory, did not preach a sermon, but he refrained from doing so on account of the length of the service. No instrumental music is allowed in the Greek Church, but the singing was very beautiful, espe daily the antiphonal responses. The Patriarch of Jerusa lem has expressed great interest in this cliurch, to whie s he has presented a beautiful cross. It is stated by the Pall Mall Gazette that the Government have determined to fill up the vacancy on the Scotch bench. As yet, however, no appointment has been made. CRUELTY TO CATTLE.—A revolting • incident occurred on board one of the Waterford steamers last week. The captain had •allowed himself to run short of fuel, and in order to keep his fires alight so as to reach the English coast in time, he burned one hundred of the pigs which formed part of the ship's cargo. Such passengers as may have witnessed the holo caust, or heard (as they could hardly have failed to hear) the wsetched animals' cries, must have thought that punctuality in reaching their destination was rather dearly purchased by this 'device of the captain's. To be sure, they are not supposed to be squeamish now-a•• days, particularly after the experience they have had on board the steam packets plying between Rotterdam and Blackwall. Last autumn, it will be remembered, an outspoken passenger by one of these vessels caused quite a sensation by the simple record of what he had witnessed during the few hours` transit between these ports. It now appears that this narrative, dreadful as it was, gave but an incomplete account of the torments to which the cattle are sub; jected on their way from Continental to English markets. " Live stock," we are credibly informed, "has been used on more than one occasion, as fuel in the cattle boats plying between the Thames and Hamburg." The Yankee skipper who burns bacon when out of coal is an ingenious humourist, compared with his English counterpart, who roasts a hun dred pigs alive. Excuse for this latter atrocity in such short services as those between the Dutch and English or Irish and Welsh coasts there can be none. In fact, the parsimony of the steam navigation companies will be found to be at the bottom of all these instances of cruelty to cattle-freights. The summary exactien of a severe penalty, on the recurrence of every such act as that com mitted on board the Waterford steamer, would have an effect in quarters where appeals to humanity are preferred in vain.—Globe.
