HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or liga tures. They so peifectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and ren dered sound and useful in mastication. • • 02, rkeet-street, At 1403 e Emu 1 . 0 WI& PAINLESS DENTISTRY. M . ESSRS.

CANDLES. -If you do not want your candles exclusively for show, but with pleasantness of appearance require excellence of burning, buy "PRICE'S GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE," or their " SHERWOOD PALMITLNE," or their good old-fashioned " BELMONT SPERM." or "BELMONT WAX," or their "BEST," "No. 2," " N 0.3," or "BATTERSEA " COMPOSITE, in preference to the finest and most transparent Paraffin candles. But if you must have the extreme trans parency of pure Parallne, "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" or their "BELMONTINE" will give it to you in perfection, and at a more moderate price than is usually charged for any other really first class Parafilne The new toilet soap "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE," containing half its weight of their concentrated distilled Glyce rine, should be in general use in every house before the winter comes on, because of its admirable effects in preventing chap ping of the hands and face. In 'every house there ought also to be one of the sealed bottles of their concentrated Distilled Gly cerine, known everywhere as "PRICES GLYCERINE," and prescribed by the most eminent medical men abroad as well as at home, as the one only Glycerine for medicinal use whether ex ternally or internally. PRICE'S FANCY SOAPS of the different sorts usually made are excellent„ and command a constantly increasing sale. The " Solidified Glycerine" spoken of above is, however, the one fancy soap to use. "PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning in the wide glasses are believed to be the very best N ight Lights made. "PRICE'S CHILDS' RIGHT LIGHTS," for burning without glasses, and their different sorts e" • 'HAMBER CAN DLES" are so well known, and so genera .y used and appre ciated, as not to need any special notice here. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, ST. ALBANS STEEPLECHASES.--Famay. Mr. George French's venture at St. Albans was again yesterday interfered with by the frost, and at one time it appeared doubtful whether the second day's sport would Login. At last, however, an hour and a half after:the ap pointed time for starting, a few- oF tho jockeys determined upon trying with the first race. Five riders weighed, but two of these afterwards Arithdrew, and a trio only wont to the post, the horses being Oldminster, The Guide, and Portfire. The jockeys of these found the whole of the course moderately good going, except on'the straight run, which was hard ai flint, notwithstanding that a heavy harrow had been dragged over it, so as if possible to tear up a portion of the frozen substance. The Guide was made the favoxrite at even money, but from the first he never obtained a good position, and thus the race was madel a match. Oldminster was beaten a length in the fina struggle, amidst loud cheers. The other race, a Selling Handicap Plate, produced eight runners out of the thirteen entered, Oldminster, Wrangler, Bandoline, Serious Case, and Bow Bell being the absentees. An unnoticed mare, Countess 8010, landed the stake after 10 to 1 had been freely offered against her, the favourite slipping and fall ing, when presenting every appearance of winning. After the race the question arose whether, the three other events would come off, but an announcement was made on the authority of Captain Barclay and Captain Whittingstall (stewards), that the meeting was postponed till Saturday, the 28th instant. The great event of the meeting, the St. Albans Open Steeplechase, was anxiously looked for, and therefore the disappointment caused by the postpone ment was great, seeing that Lord Coventry's Chimney Sweep, Sir Bobby, and Northern Light had arrived for the race, J. Adams being present to ride " The Sweep." Subjoined is a return of the running : The Luton Plate (Handicap), of 30 sovs ; winners of any steeplechase after Nov. 29 (at 11 a.ui.) 71b extra ; about two miles.

Portfire made the running, followed by •Oldminster to the first fence, where The Guide, ran out, but . Ricksby speedily got him in the right track. The trio passed the Stand at intervals of nearly twenty lengths, and Portfire retained the lead till reaching the fence leading into the ploughed land, where_ he refused, and Oldminster was left with a slight tt_vantage, The Guide being still further thrown in the rear by bungling at the same cbstacle. Two fences further on Portfire again took a lead, which he held to the foot of the hill leading into the straight, where Old minster juined him, and the pair cleared the two last ob stacles almost abreact, but Oidminster being beaten after landing over the last fence, Portfire was enabled to win easily by a length; The Guide did not pass the post.

Killarney made the running, but after clearing the first fence, the Waverley's dam gelding took the lead, fol lowed by No Name, Love-in-a-Mist, Rapture, and Carn broe. Before reaching the Stand the favourite was indulged with the lead, and on passing was attended by Killarney, Rapture, Countess 8010, and Sir Stephen, the Waver ley's dam gelding and No Name bringing up the rear. Before the third fence in the " ploughed land," Killarney passed the favourite, but held the lead only for a short distance ; for at the third fence from home Love-in-a-Mist., who had been pulling Jarvis all the way, again rushed to the front and came into the straight with a clear lead of Countess 8010 and Carnbroe. Approaching the last fence the favourite appeared to have the race in hand, but slip ping, came down on her side, throw her rider, and thus put our her chance. Fortunately neither horse nor jockey sustained injury. Countess 8010 was now left with the lead, and never being approached won in a canter by three lengths from Carubroo ; Killarney was beaten a length from the second, Rapture was fourth, the Waver ley's darn gelding next, Sir Stephen sixth, No name trot ting in many lengths in the rear. The winner was bought in for 51 guineas. The remainder of the races were postponed until Satur day, the 28th inst. TURF NEWS PROM NEWMARKET. Lord Brownlow, 3 yrs, has been turned out of training and is for sale as a stallion ; old Dr. Syntax has also finished his career as a flat racer. The majority of the immense number of Jearlingd in training here are very forward in condition. the past week having been very favourable for training operations, but there is a prospect of a check to-day (Friday), frost again setting in. The Derby candidates take daily healthy exerzise.• and appear remarkably fresh and well. The weather permit ting a few of the former will doubtless be put through the mill before Christmas, and a slight weeding out be found necessary before the commencement of the new year.

The subjoined instructions for the organisation of special constables, drawn up by order of the Secre tary of State for the Home Department, were yes terday issued : The defensive measures to be taken under pre sent circumstances must as far as possible be of a quasi permanent charactet—that is to say, must be calculated to last for some weeks, and possibly throughout the winter. The best organisation will be that which is cal culated to afford the most ready assistance to the regular police in the event of an emergency. With this view a police station in every parish will be selected as the head-quarters of the. force of special constables of that parish. The head-quarters station and every other police station in the parish will be considered as a rall) . iug point for the con stables of that parish. The special constables of ea;...11 parish will select to command them a superintendent and such number of deputy superintendents as may be required. The superintendent and one deputy superintendent will be attached to head-quarters, and one other deputy superintendent must be 'attached to every other police station. Outlying rallying points may be selected at the discretion of the superintendent, and au assistant superintendent must be attached to every such out lying rallying point, to act under the direction of one or other of the deputy superintendents in charge of the police station to which such outlying rallying point is subordinate. The whole force of the special constables in each parish will be called a division, the portion under On the occasion of alarm, for example, the occur rence of an explosion or serious fire, information will be given to the police stations of the parish. On the receipt of the information the police officer at head-quarters will, without delay, summon the superintendent of special constables, and, if the case be urgent, direct the special constables of the parish to be forthwith called together. The mode of summoning the special constables must be agreed upon between the police and the superintendents of special constables. Every special constable, when summoned, will repair at once to his proper rallying point, and there await orders. In case of doubt as to the extent of the emergency the officer in charge of the police at head-quarters will.confer with the superintendent of special con- Stables, or, in his absence, with the deputy, before turning out the men. In the absence of special directions, the superin tendent of special constables, in concert with the officers in charge of the police, will use his discre tion as to the distribution of the force, and also to the general measures to be taken. By order of the Secretary of State for the Home Department. C. B. EWART, Lieut.-Col. R. E . Office of Special Constables, Wellington Barracks, S.W., Dec. 20. 711 E ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION AND THE WAR DEPAR7MENT. A t the dinner, on Tuesday, at Wolverhampton, of the Staffordshire Chamber of Agriculture, Major Anson, 1\1.P., in responding to the toast of "The Army," alluded to the expedition :to Abyssinia, as to which he thought the country might congratulate itself that the Government had selected for its com 2 wand a man like Sir Itobert Napier, whom he had the pleasure of knowing intimately both in India and China. It was imposkible to have selected a man more thoroughly competent to overcome all the dif ficulties which that expedition might have to face. But he thought the reasons for satisfaction ended there,_ for he could not think that either the objects or the extent of the exi edition offered grounds for con gratulation. We had pledged ourselves beforehand not to occupy the country under any circumstances, SO that the success of the expedition depended solely on our success in releasing the prisoners. The object, he thought, would have been far better accomplished by a smaller force. He did not undetstand why they wanted 12,000 men, with some 20,000 camp follower?, to penetrate into a country defended by unarmed and uncivilised people. Such a thing al most made him blush with shame for his country. He feared, too, that the possibili , y of their friend Theodore killing the prisoners or taking them cut of our reach lad not been sufliciehtly considered. Was there not the danger that they might find themselves on the heights of Abyssinia with a wag- nificent army, unable to inflict punishment or to take revenge, with nothing to du but to march back to their ships, amid the laughter of the world ? Ile was by no means in favour of extending the terri tory of the country, but he thought it was a pity we should have announced beforehand our deter mination not to occupy • it. Suppose it should love to be a country of great natural resources, would not other nations cast 'a covetous eye upon it? and would not the task of the dog in the manger devolve upon us ? for we could hardly allow others to occupy the highway to India. He must say that he regretted that England had publicly proclaimed that her part was played out, and. that she would leave to others the functions in the un civilised world which she had hitherto so well per formed. While fully alive to the responsibilities, the drawbacks, and the dangers of a too-extended empire, he thought the danger lay not so much in judicious grafting as in never pruning. From his knowledge of the army, he must say he was glad, as the expedition had been undertaken, it was put into the handsof the Indian Government, for it could organise an expedition and send out an army, which he was very much afraid was more than the War Department in this country could do, for the very slight portion of the work which had fallen to its share proved that the extravagance and want of orga nisation which bad been so disa4rous in former days existed as strong as ever. It. was a scandal that it should be so, but he blamed the House of Com mons and the Secretary of State for War more than he did the War Department, since they had the cure in their hands if they chose to exert the power ; but the House of Commons was too lazy to exert itself, except on great party questions, and the Secretaries of State held office for too short a time not to prefer while doing so a pleasant life, and to pull well with the permanent officials on whom they had to depend for their information. The consequence was, that the whole time of a Secretary of State was occupied in trying to hush up and explain away the cases of inefficiency, extravagance, and stupidity that kept constantly cropping up in the columns of the press or in the shape of questions in the House of Commons, instead of taking delight in publicity, in order to have his hands strength ened for reform. Major Anson went on to insist on the absolute necessity, in consequence of the great changes which had taken place in the azt o war, that officers should have a higher education than bad hitherto been considered necessary ; and also that the education of the soldiers should be carefully looked to, as all recent changes in the weapons of war made the individual soldier more dependent upon his own judgment. This was of gieater consequence in our army, because as a rule it was not recruited from all classes, as abroad, but from the lowest and least instructed part of the population. E 140 RD CII ANC ELLO R'S GS.---Four years have now passed since the act for the augaientation of benefices in the gift of the Lord Chancellor came int• ope ration. In that period 83 of the poorer advowsous have been sold, and ten of the livings of a clear yearly value of £2OO or more. Among the present year's sales of the former class is the advowson of West Newton, Norfolk, purchased by the Prin3e of Wales for £1,200. The total amount of the purchase-money of the advowsons sold is £174,609, including £5,450 secured by rent charges or land. The amount received from sales of the higher class (4 livings under the 231 and 2 ith sections of the act has enabled the Lord Chancellor to apply £20,900 in augmen tation of olher livings and grants for parsonage houses, and to appropriate afurther sum of £9,Boofor the like purposes under a scheme of last May to meet benefactions provided from other sources. " Dear airs,-1 was for years a great sufferer from dyep'psia, accompanied with heartburn, spasms, and severe cramps and pains in the stomach, for which I tried a num ter of medicines to no purpose, until a friend persuaded ma to try your Pain Killer, which gave me immediate re lief. I have used it now five or six years, and would not be without it at any price. —Yours, &c., MARTHA BROWN HILL, Dudley, May 2, 1867." " Sirs,—l can with confidence recommend your excellent medicine the Pain Killer for rheumatism, indigestion, and toothache, having proved its efficacy in these complaints.—Yours, ecc., REUISEN CiiELL, Dolton, June 11, 1859. To Perry Davis and Son, 17, Suutha:upton-row, Holborn (W.C.)." None genuine without the words PAIN KILLER on the Government stamp. Sold by all chemists.—CADrr.) The balance-sheet gives a total of £683, under the head of receipts and balance from last year. The sums paid for expenses of demonstrations and public meetings amounted to 2121 128. 4d., and, including this sum, the total cxbsnditure was £640 15s. 101 d., leaving a balance of £33 164. 4d. in hand. The assets exceed the liabilities, by £sola 4d. LAW AND POLICE. THE ENGRAVINGS IN "GOOD WonDs" TO Dn. M`LEOD's " EASTIVARD."—The Lord Chancellor has had before him an appeal from the decree of Vice-Chancellor Malin, in the case of Strahan v. Graham. It was P' application by the well-known publisher of Good Woras for a declaration that he was entitled under a verbal agreement to the use of the engravings of certain photo graphs taken by the defendant. When Dr. M`Leod's " Eastward " appeared in Good Words, an agreement entered into with the defendant for the use of certain pho tographs he (the defendant) had taken in Palestine. Engravings of these photographs were published in Good Words, and the, plaintiff now sought ..... ti. publish them in connection with a separate edition of " Eastward." This the defendant would not agree to. The Vice-Chancellor had decided for the defendant, holding that the practice of the trade was that unless there was a special agreement the engravings could not be republished. The Lord Chancellor now confirmed that decision, giving costs against the plaintiff. THE CONSERVATIVE CLUB.—RIGHT OF A CLUB TO EXPEL A MESSBEB.—The Master of the Rolls has had before him the case of Hopkinson v. the Conservative Club. It was an application on the part of Mr. Hopkinson for a decla-, ration by the court that he was entitled to the rights, effects, &c., of the club so long as he conformed to its rules. Mr. Hopkinson, who at first was a Conservative, was expelled at a meeting of the club for voting for the Liberal candidates at the election for Berkshire. Mr. Hopkinson contended that they had no right to do so, because there was no rule for giving them power. There was a rule, however, that a meeting should be called if there were any circumstance likely to endanger the welfare and good order of the club, and that two-thirds of that meeting might expel a member. Lord Romilly agreed with the latter view, and thought that no one could appeal against the decision of the members. MURDER Er A CHILD.-At the Worcester As sizes, be fore Mr. Justice Mellor, Fanny Brown was indicted for the murder of Ann Maud Hickton, at Halesowen. The prisoner, a child of 13, was employed as nurse at Mr. Hickton's, a nail manufacturer, and in July last was sent upstairs by a fellow-servant with the child, in the absence of her master and mistress. Ten minutes later, when asked where the child was, she said she did not know. Search was made, and it was found dead in a water cistern. She had been taxed with causing its death, and after denying any knowledge of its death she at last admitted that she had put it into the cistern head first, in the expectation that it would go to the bottom and never be seen again. When asked for her reason for putting the child in the cistern, she said she " went to the Foresters' fête and it spoilt her hest frock." It was suggested that the death of the child was the result of accident, and the jury found her not guilty. MO DAMAGES AGATNST THE LONDON AND NORTU WESTEGN RAILWAT COMPANY.—In the case of Robinson v. the London and North Western Railway Company the plaintiff was formerly a clerk in the Liverpool County Court, earning from £2 to £3 per week. On the ?Ali of June he left Liverpool for Wolverhampton by the de fendant's line. An accident occurred near Warrington, by which the defendant was greatly injured,causing spitting of blood, &c., and he had been obliged to leave his situation. The company admitted its liability, and the only question was one of damages, which the jury assessed at £550. FENIANISAI AND THE GASWORKS.—At the Bow-street Police-court Michael Finity, a coal loader employed at the Imperial Gasworks, was charged with uttering seditious words and expressions of and concerning her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen. Mr. Charles South, landlord of the Duke of Clarence, St. Pancras-road, stated that on Saturday night the prisoner was in his house, when some people were talking about the explosion. The prisoner said, " That is not a quarter of it ; that is only the beginning ; we mean to blow up all the dockyard; gasworks, and prisons, and the first time the -- Queen goes to Parliament she will be shot." Ile also said he was a Fenian, and would spend his last shilling to blow up every gasworks in England. The prisoner now said he was drunk ; and the chairman of the gas company in which he was employed said they had taken every pre caution. The magistrate remanded the prisoner for inquiries. FORGERIES BY A M.ucuFAertmEn.—At the Stafford shire Assizes yesterday, before Mr. Justice Keating, Elijah Hughes, who had pleaded guilty on the previous day to two clargui of uttering forged acceptances to bills of exchange with intent to defraud the Manchester and Liverpool District Banking Company, was brought up for sentence. The prisoner had occupied an influential posi tion in the Staffordshire Potteries, where he carried on business for many years as an earthenware manufacturer. The sum represented by the forged acceptances of the prisoner amounted to about £2,300. He was sentenced to six years' penal servitude. AN ILLICIT DISTILLER FINED £2oo.—Yesterday a man named John Iloyle was summoned before the borough magistrates, at Bolton, on the charge of having in his possession, for use, apparatus, &c., for illicit distilling purposes. The Excise officers and several policemen broke into some premises in Back School-street, occupied by the defendant, and found a 23-gallon still at work, with all the necessary apparatus for carrying on the business on a most extensive scale. There was no one in the house, defendant having escaped whilst the entrance was being effected. The magistrates thought it was a bad case, and imposed the full penalty of the law, £2OO, with no miti gating recommendation. In default of payment, defendant will be confined during ter Majesty's pleasure, the magistrates not having any power to fix the period of imprisonment. MITRAORDINARY FEMALE LONGEVITY.

Ties FIELD-LANE RAJ,IMED SCHOOL. -- The fol- IJwinn . fiL;ures give some idea of the work done by this charity in relieving the distress and reclaiming the out casts of the aictropelis. Ths miff 1.111.; of the poor during the past year is stated to have been without precedent. One thousand three hundred and ten poor children receive gratuitous educ:ttion in the day and night schools. During the year nearly 7,000 men and women hark passed through the Refuges, who have received 55,000 lodgings and 112,000 loaves of bread. 1,165 of this number have been reinstated in their former positions in life, 280 ysung women were placed out in domestic service, 48 friendless boys were rescued from begging in the streets and placed out in indUstrial homes. 9.9,000 persons attended the reli gious service provided for the homeless on Sunday morn ings. Upwards of 39,000 persons have benefited by some de partment or other during the year. By the kindness of several City firms 100 poor children are daily supplied with a good meal from kitchen-scraps, which would otherwise have been thrown into the swill-tub. The annual outlay is 1:3,000, for 2,000 of which the charity is dependent upon the voluntary offerings supplied at this season. An earnest appeal is therefore made for help.
