MOSEI.Y, the Dentist by special appoint ment, 312, REnzrr-srnErr, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic, and 23, MOORGATE-STREET, CITY. Estab lished 1820. This, the most perfected system of pain less 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 bo obtained in such perfected success (the result of forty years' practical experience) at his only residences, as above. The su perlative excellence of this system is perfect 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--dotection impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied —and youthful appearance restored—mastication and articulation guaranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says :—"So good an imitation becomes the next best thing to the original." Teeth from 55.; sets, 5 to 30 guineas.

Also chair ORIGINAL AND SUPERIOR ESSENCE ANCIIOVY AND An occasional correspondent of the Times states that Cardinal Schwarzenberg has struck his flag before the Pope. This defection is the more serious as he came to Rome with undisputed authority and was supposed to be most stedfast in his opposition. He held a powerful position as Prince in his own country, Prince of the Church and Primate of Bohemia. At first he acted in a most decided manner, and encouraged the German Bishops to pursue their schemes. It had been arranged that the French and German Bishops should separately draw up and sign their remonstrances. The French docu ment was prepared, and Schwarzenbcrg undertook to get a similar instrument drawn up by his countrymen. After several signatures had been put to it, the great Cardinal himself refused to sign his own name on the paper. No one accuses him of corrupt motives, and his failure is en tirely attributed to weakness. This conduct of Schwarzen berg has practically broken asunder the force of the Oppo sition. If the game is to be won, it must be saved by the adoption of decided measures. It has been proposad that the Catholic Governments should accredit ambassadors to the Council, as the terms of theßull of Censure directly affect the State in Catholic countries. If France were to send an ambassador, the Opposition party in the Council would be greatly strengthened, but if left to itself it stands a good chance of a speedy dissolution.

The explanation is probably to be found in the fact that the more liberal mem bers of the Right Centre are unwilling to enter a Cabinet from which their friends of the Left Centre aro entirely excluded. M. Buffet, who bad certainly the offer of a seat, was not inclined to join the Ministry entirely alone, and 31. Brame declined from a different reason. He wishes to devote himself exclusivelyto economic questions. The Public announces that MM. Dupuy de Lome and Louvet have accepted the offices of 'ublic Works and of Commerce. M. Bourbeau will remain as Minister of Public Instruction, and the answer of M. de la Guerra niere is awaited respecting Foreign Affairs. War and Marine, as a matter of course, are assigned to Le Bceuf and Genouilly, and the suppression of the Ministerial office attached to the presidency of the Council of State is decided upon. M. de Chasseloup Laubat, according to this account, has not been offered a portfolio. M. Magna keeps the direction of the finances, while M. 011ivier himself becomes Minister of Justice.

A letter from Rome, dated the 23rd December, states that at the last meeting of the (Ecumenical Council, the fathers assembled in the hall of the Vatican, owing to the acoustic defects of the Gland Council Hall itself. The Pope is said to be much disappointed at this misadventure. which renders useless a great expenditure of time and money. Every effort is 'being inadetwfind a substitute for the unlucky building, and several, plami have been fixed upon to be in turn abandoned. Three projects, in particular,T are under distussion. The first suggests the principal vestibule of St. Peter's, the second the church of St. Martin on the Esquitin, and the third the church called Della Transpontina, which is situated in the high road leading from the Bridge of St. Angelo to the place of St. Peter. The first of these schemes appears in many respects the most convenient, but the last seems likely to have the preference.

THE DALMATIAN' rNMIGENTS, According to news fiom Trieste, the Governor of Dal matia has distributed food to those insurgents who have submitted. The distribution was made by the Emperors order, as these unfortunates, cut off from com munication with the coast by the Austrian troops, and blockaded by the snow, were in a miserable condition, children and aged persons dying of hunger. Provisions of all kinds were being sent from Trieste to Cattaro for their use. The NOrth-East Correspondence states that the mountaineers of Krivoscie are still unwilling to sur render. INTERNAL REVENUE OF THE UNITED STATES. The report of the American Commissioner of Inland Revenue has been presented to Congress, comparing the receipts for the past fiscal year with those of the pre vious year. The aggregate of the year is 160,000,000 dollars, shewing an advance of more than 27 millions, nearly all of which was gained during the last six months. The present administration naturally takes credit to itself for this, having been in office four months of the time. The chief items of increase are not, however, altogether satisfactory, no less than twenty-one millions of the gain being on -distilled spirits and tobacco. But the profit to the revenue is not so much owing to increased consumption of these articles, as to the enforcement of the tax. In the absence of reliable data, the Commissioner estimates the an nual consumption of distilled spirits at 80,000,000 gal lons, and he believes that when the present law is brought into complete execution, the annual revenue from this source will equal 60,000,000 dollars. The number of cigars returned for taxation in the year was 991,535,934. These pay a uniform tax of five dollars per 1,000. The stamp laws are next discussed. The Commis sioner believes that this tax ought to yield a much larger amount than it does, as the British Government draws a far greater revenue from the same source. The stamp laws in the United States Are often evaded by the fraudulent manna use of stamps, .yrhirth have washed _ eaz=li nx rn ; - AN — ...Gliteracli. The officials arc puzzled how to defeat this fraud. They propose to send an agent to Europe to examine the stamp system of older Governments. The income tax for 1809 will exceed 26 millions, and the Commissioner expects that the internal revenue when fairly collected ought to yield not less than 5173,000,000. At least 90 per cent. of the entire receipts are collected from a few objects and sources which may all be classed as luxuries. THE CALAMITY AT THE BRISTOL THEATRE. The evidence given on Thursday at the coroner's inquest, Bristol, by members of the crowd as to the calamity which occured at the theatre spewed plainly how it all hap pened. David Williams, of Weston-super-Mare, said he went to the theatre on Monday night with his sister-in law, Eliza Jones, Helen Jones, and two women from Kingsdown. The push began about twenty minutes after their arrival. A little boy fell first, a female from Kingsdown next, Eliza Jones next, and then wit ness fell upon Eliza Jones. He was on the ground for about a minute and a half, when the doors opening the crowd in front went in, and it became a littlo easier. A great many of those from behind walked over them while they were on the ground. Witness was pulled out by the hands and shoulders, after having boen down for a minute and a half. There was a great cry of " Fire " from several parts ; witness cried " Fire" himself because he saw a great deal of smoke by the pit door. The cry had no effect upon the crowd. There were several boys on the top of the ledge over the passage, putting out cords, and he saw one boy partly hauled up, but did not think he was quite hauled up. When he was picked up the crowd seemed to be more at a standstill. Eliza Jones was pulled out after him, and he gave her brandy and other restoratives. Should think there were about fifteen down in a heap then.—Sydney Hall, brickmaker, St. George's, was trampled under foot when the doors were opened. Before falling he supported his mother as long as he could, and they were then parted. She was carried into the crowd, and he to the edge of it. He had been in the theatre an hour and a half before ho knew that his mother was dead. His father and little brother managed to get into the theatre. Witness was picked up, and he helped several others up. After looking all round the theatre for his mother, he went to the windows of the re freshment-room, and saw her laid out. The police evidence shelved that the police had tried several ways of keeping back the crowd. They had held up their hands, waved their handkerchiefs, cried "Fire!" and done several things, but all to no effect. The medical evidence gave details of the causes of death in each case. M r . E. C. Board, house-surgeon of the Royal Infirmary, stated that Helen Jones appeared to have died from syncope, or fainting. No limbs were broken, nor was there any appear ance of violence to cause death. He thought Mary Helen Sherwood died from being trampled upon. He be lieved Thomas Merchant was trampled to death. Eliza Lucas died from fainting ; Patrick Donovan from being trampled on ; Alfred Kew probably died from his chest being compressed in the crowd ; Thomas Pearson, compres sion of the chest; Samuel hill, from fainting; John Davies, trampled to death ; Henry Charles Vining seemed to have been crushed; George Potter, fainting; Sarah Ann Bilby died of fainting ; Mrs. Hall died of fainting; Catherine Brewer, trampled on. Taking them generally he believed the deaths were caused chiefly by fainting, and being unable to r e c o v er them s elv es .' Mr. E. Ludlow, assistant house-surgeon of the Royal Infirmary, said he thought Joseph Smith died of suffocation ; Charles Pring died from having his abdomen trampled upon; William Samuel Allen died of suffocation. Some of those who went down in the crowd seem to have been raised up by ropes let down from above. A few persons in the crowd, when they heard what had happened, tried to keep back, but the others pressed on. The jury, after about half an hour's deliberation, re turned a verdict of " Accidental Death." They entirely exonerated Mr. Chute, the manager of the theatre, from all blame in the matter, but appended a 'recommendation with the view of rendering the pit and gallery entrances safe in the future. Nature states that bonzol has been applied to a somewhat novel purpose. If poured on a piece of ordinary paper, immediate transparency is produced, to such an extent as to enable one to dispense entirely with tracing paper. On exposure to air, or, better, a gentle heat, the liquid is entirely dissipated, the paper recovers its capacity, and the original design is found to be quite uninjured. WASHINGTON'S ONLY JOlCE.—During the debate In the Continental Congress on the establishment of :the Federal army, a member offered a resolution providing - that It should never exceed 3,000 men; whereupon Washin7ton moved au amendment that no enemy should ever invade the country with a force exceeding 2,000 men. This joke was perfectly successful, and the laughter which it excited mothered the resolution. 1.1,, quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 2M. 15.3. per £1 sterling On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 1O d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that cold at the above prloe Is slightly dearer in 'Paris than in London. additional precautions respecting the invading crowd, so that the audience were only admitted singly, and then escorted up the staircase in detachments. Notwithstand ing most elaborate arrangements, however, the scene in the interior of the court was a very stormy one. Numbers of ladies were standing, and these appealed piteously to the officials for the smallest stools. Some of the newspaper editors in ccmmiscration accommodated a few of thee domes on tlleir already overcrowded bench. A broclaire, entitled "Medico-Legal Study of Tioppmann," by Dr. llertrand, was -circulated in the court, and it was said that M. Lachaud intends to make use of it in his pleading. When Troppmann was brought into court this morning everyone rose as if to greet some royal personage. The prisoner was very pale to-day. It will give some idea of the state of the court that no bench could be found for the witnesses when they entered, and they had to stand apart in a corner. Considerable effect was produced in court ycsterday by the evidence cf the coachman who move Il.•e unfor tunate Madame Kinck, her five children and her murderer to the Quatre-Chcmins. The young man told him to stop, and got out with the mother and the two little ones, telling the driver to tale care of the others and he would fetch them directly. In about five-and-twenty minutes he came . back, raid the diver, and took away the three children. The driver heard no sound during his absence, but it was in the interval that the watchman at Pantin heard the cry of "maman! maman!" Troppmann's explanation of these sounds is that he was disputing with his accomplices and objecting to what they intended to do. He says the knife found in the trench belonged to Madame Kinck, that she used it in a quarrel with her husband, and that his own hand was wounded in disarming her. The President's comment was that the jury would appreciate these statements at their right value. The sailor who rescued Troppmann from the harbour atHavre,was loudly applauded and thanked by the judge. His simple mode of telling his story moved the au diance greatly. Tho gendarme who captured the prisoner at Havre was also examined. Troppmann was then walking with another man. •At the first mention of Pantin, said the witness, he trembled and fled to the harbour basin where he flung himself in unhesitatingly. No wonder. An international custom-law will shortly be carried out between France and Italy. M. de Langsdorff, an independent candidate, has addressed a circular to the electors of the second Circum scription of Lot et Garonne. He admits that he is unknown to the greater part of theio.itt-- b.e different from the official candidate, M. de Forcade, who seeks their suffrages. The department of Lot et Garonne is called upon, he declares, to offer an asylum to all that France rejects to-day, and is not allowed sufficient time to choose a representative for itself. He therefore hastens to present himself. . On the occasion of celebrating the new year the Emperor has pardoned twenty-eight persons who had been con demned by the maritime judicial authorities, and granted a mitigation of their sentences to fifty-seven others. FALL OF A HoI:SE IN LIMERICK.—At six o'clock on Thursday morning a house fell in John-street, Limerick, during the prevalence of a storm, by which five persona were killed and several were injured, some of whom are not expected to recover. CAESAREAN OPERATION AFTER THE DEATH OF THE MOTHER.—The Lancet draws attention to the publica tion by Dr. Beckmann, of Berlin, of the case of a woman, aged 25, who, being in the eighth month of pregnancy, was seized with apople c ti c symp t oms, an d di ed comatose. Conscious that there was no chance of saving the child unless it was extracted wit Lin five minutes after the mother's death, Dr. Beckmann, having obtained leave from the husband, performed the Caesarean section with an abscess lancet, the only instrument he had with him. The child weighed hardly four pounds, and by persevering efforts at resuscitation, which were carried on for full two hours and a half, the child breathed freely, and is now a strong boy, nearly three years of age. WORKMEN'S INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.—The preliminary meeting of the promoters of the Workmen's International Exhibition, to be held in the metropolis, will be attended by several men of note. Professor Hux ley will preside. Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., will move the first resolution, and—that the working men may be ade quately represented—Mr. Applegarth, Secretary of the Amalgamated Carpenters and Joiners, will second it.

H. Smith, M.P., and seconded by Mr. Allen, will give tho adhesion of the meeting to the scheme of the exhibition. Mr. Mundella, M.l'., will move, Mr. Winterbotham, M.P., second, and Mr. Howell support, the last resolution. DEATH OF MR. R. 11. R. 11. Hunt,' proprietor and editor of Hunt's Universal Yacht List, Hunt's Yachting 2lfagazine, and other sterling works of reference and interest, expired at his residence, 6, Church street, Edgware-road, on the night of the 26th instant, after an illness of only three days. He was born at Yar mouth in 1796, where he first acquired a taste for yachting pursuits, which ripened into a passion, and led him to devote his zeal, energies, and resources to the advance ment of his much-cherished pastime. His "Yacht List," a work of incalculable value to the yachting community has now been twenty-one years annually before the public, and his monthly magazine seventeen years. These works were originated more from a love of the *sport than a desire for pecuniary gain, and their present popularity speaks volumes in favour of the perseverance and ability of their respected author. It was almost his last wash that the yachting works to which Le had devoted so many years of his life should be continued after his death, which reluest his son, Mr. Alfred 11. Hunt, with the assistance of his literary friends, will earnestly endeavour to carry oat. Critical theologians have contended that Christ Vas not born on the 25th of December, but probably in the autumn, when harvest and vintage were over. In tho fourth century some celebrated it in January and others in April and May. The Greek Church continues to ob serve it in February. The time, as we observe it, was fixed by Popo Telesphorus, and was subsequently adopted by the Protestant Churches. The Puritans, averse to liomanistic practices, abjured all their festivals. A search tract, published in 1648, informs us that on Wednes day, December 22, IG-17, " The Crier of Canterbury, by the appointment of Master Maior, openly proclaimed that Christmas Day and all other superstitious festivals should be unknown, and that a market should be kept on Christmas Day." Among the single sheets preserved in the British Museum is an order of Parliament, Dec. 2 4 , 1652, directing that no observation shall bo had of the 25th day of December, commonly called Christmas Day, nor any solemnity used or exercised in churches that day in respect thereof.
