R. ROUT ET, Deputy Commissary-General. MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fired without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resembl e the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori ginals 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 gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti cation. 52, Fleet-street. At home from 10 till 5. " PAINLESS DENTISTRY !" A NEW PAMPHLET, Free by post for four stamps. VfESSRS.

It would, indeed, be a disappointment to me if 1: were deprived of your assistance on the land ques— tion, which we often discussed together; and, in. fact, I feel it is no flattery to say that t would re gard your absence from the next Parliament as a national loss.--I am, dear Barry, yours truly, At Youghal Sir Joseph Neale M.Kenna and Mr. Weguelin are canvassing actively. The dead waEs of the borough are covered with " election liter ature " in all its diversified forms. The third can didate, Mr. Crowther, has not yet put in au apnar ance, nor has any sign been male by " any consi derable portion of the electors" that they are anxious for his presence among them. Mr. M'Carthy Downing, who formerly con tested the county of Cork, has issued an address offering his services to the elctors of that con stituency. He refers them to his 30 years of pubic life, and he thinks that " if he does not merit at their hands favour and approval his best years have been thrown away in devoting them to the service of his country and her people, and at a sacrifice of no small consideration. Ile adds :—" If elected, I will enter Parliament as a supporter of Mr. Gladstone on the terms stated by Mr. Bright at Limerick—namely, that reparation should be made to Ireland for the many wrongs in flicted upon her by England, and that Ire land should give in return her forgiveness." But if Mr. Gladstone, once he attains power, wavers or falters in honestly carrying into effect the policy which he has enunciated, then will I be found in determined hostility to his Government." A Liberal candidate for County Donegal is spoken of in the person of Lord Francis Coliyngham. A meeting of those interested in the projected Southern Railway—a line to connect Clonmel, Lis more, and Dungarvan—was held on Tuesday at Fethard, County Tipperary. The meeting was convened for the purpose of deciding whether the works, for which an act of Parliament was obtained several years ago, should be proceeded with or definitively abandoned. Two letters only had been received from landholders declining to subscribe towards the project, one being from Mr. William Scully, of Ballycohey notoriety, who stated that "he considered his lands would in no way be benefited by the project, and under the circum stances he declined to contribute." From a state ment male to the meeting it appeared that about one-third of the line has been completed, but that since the occurrence of the monetary panic in 1866 it had been impossible to obtain funds to proceed further with the work. After considerable discus sion £3,750 was subscribed by four of the gentle men present at the meeting. Another incendiary fire is reported from Cork. On Tuesday afternoon two ricks of straw, contain ing about 60 tons, were set fire to and consumed on the farm of East Rathpeacon, owned and farmed by Miss Wise, on whose farms there have been so many similar outrages within the last few days. The R. H. Tucker, which struck on a sandbank at Blackwater on Monday evening, caught fire on Tuesday afternoon, and was burnt to the water's edge. The crew were taken off safe. THE LATE ACCIDEIV7 TO THE IRISH MAIL 7RA IN. -- --P ABERGELE, Thursday. The question as to the criminal negligence and liability of the station-master was raised to-day be fore the county magistrates by an application for his committal on behalf of the relatives of one of the deceased persons. The evidence was in great part formal, being directed to the identification of the remains of the deceased Charles Cripps, and being in other respects a repetition of the facts already detailed. The inquiry was then adjourned in order to enable the magistrates to visit Thompson, driver of the Irish mail train, who lies in a dangerous con dition. lie said he did not know the distance be tween the scene of the accident and the distance danger signal at Llanddulas. He could not see the latter signal at the place where the collision oc curred. He could have brought his engine to a standstill, he said, within 70 yards in ordinary days. If he and the guard bad seen the distance danger signal at Llanddulas, and had applied their breaks—the rails on the day in question being, however, very dry—he could have pulled up in 60 yards. The poor fellow told the magistrates that he felt so ill last night that he really thought he should have died. Sara, the driver of the goods train, was examined. lle stated that, if so ordered, he could easily have shunted the goods trucks before the Irish mail train arrived.

COMB Sec, 85, Quenitreot, gliogpsidei IRELAND. DUBLIN, Sept. 10. The revising barristers for the city of Dublin sat again yesterday. Of course the work of greatest difficulty in connexion with the revision will be that of deciding on the validity of the claims under the lodger franchise. There will not only be several knotty points raised, but the case of a very large number of the claimants will require diligent in quiry and careful discrimination in coming to a de cision. Two " vexed questions" were raised yester day before the barristers who are inquiring into the claims under the lodger franchise. The first was whether to constitute a person a lodger it is neces sary that the landlord should reside on the pre mises; and the second, whether the genuineness of the signature purporting to have been written on the original claim should be proved, or whether the mere proof by the Town Clerk that a claim had been lodged should be held as sufficient. Mr. Pur cell, Q.C., before whom the first question was raised, said that if a case came before him in which a person occupied apartments of the required annual value, under circumstances in which he could not be rated as a separate occupier, he considered that he was entitled to be registered whether the land lord resided on the premises or not ; " otherwise there would be a large port i on o f th e cons tit uenc y who would be neith er fi s h nor flesh--neither rated occupiers nor lodgers, and who would be disfranchised." Eventually the decision was post poned. The question as to the necessity for proof of the signature of the claim was decided in the affirmative. Dean O'Brien, of Newcastle, county Limerick, is anxious to have it understood that when he spoke at the recent entertainment to Mr. Butt he did so only on " the call of the meeting." He writes to this effect to the Limerick Reporter, adding that in fact he had refused emphatically to speak at either the entertainment or the lecture. "He felt he had no right whatever, and taking his views 'as a waiter upon Providence' that he bad no place." Bu " Mr. Carroll S frank declaration that national legis lation Dean) without improp r i e ty t o answer the call' of was Ireland's gre a t hope enabled him (the the meeting, whose natural proclivities were not doubtful ; and when asked at the banquet to answer to the ' Prosperity of Ireland' he said his say for precisely the same reasons." The lodger franchise, w hich is giving so much trouble to the revising barristers in Dublin, is not likely to make a heavy call upon the time of the provincial revision courts. Downpatrick, it appears, can only boast of one £lO lodger who is ambitious of the right to vote. His claim was admitted. At Carrickfergus also there was only one claimant, who, moreover, was unable to establish his claim, and was consequently struck off. Mr. Matthews' candidature at Dungarvan pro mises to be more persevering than Mr. Barry's friends were disposed to anticipate. Mr. Matthews has issued a supplementary address, in which he deals with the criticisms and alleged misrepresenta tions of his views and position put forward by the Cork Examiner. He says that the electors know well " that the political demonstration iu his favour was made by men perfectly well informed of what they were doing, and with a deliberate purpose." He adds :—" The second charge of the Cork Exa miner is still more groundless. It is utterly and put forward as a f a e b e s l o e l r u , te b l y y thataunnytpruaerty. l have co me t o Dungarvan I am by the desire and at the invitation of a large and influential body of the most patriotic and liberal of the electors. I shall also, I trust, have the sup port of many of the Conservative electors, who have the manliness and liberality to respect my honest opinions, even though different from their own. lam proud of this support from men who do not always act together. It places me exactly iu the position of a man whose name has weight throughout Ireland—l mean Mr. J. F. Maguire, who was returned for Dungarvan by a similar com bination of independent supporters against the Whig candidate, Mr. O'Flaherty." The O'Donoghue, M.P., has addressed the follow ing letter to Mr. R. C. Barry, the present member for D ungarvan :—" Toomies, Killarney. Dear Barry,—l now see by the Freeman that there is some reality in the rumour about an opposition at Dungarvan. Surely no one who has watched your career in the house and communicated with you, as I have done, upon Irish politics, can fail to be con vinced that there is not in Parliament a more ad vanced and genuine Irish Liberal than youreelf. POLICE COURT, ABERGELE. The inquiry before the county magistrates into the charge of manslaughter against Samuel Eaton, station-master at Llanddulas, was commenced yes terday, at the police-court, before Mr. R. B. Hesketh and the Rev. T. Williams. Mr. Jones Bateman, barrister, occupied a seat on the magis terial bench. The room in the police-court being iuconve- Iliently small, the hearing was adjourned to the large and commodious Town-hall, in which the coroner's inquest was held. Mr. Edwards-Wood appeared for Henry Cripps, brother to the deceased Charles Cripps, one of the sufferers by the accident. Mr. James, solicitor, Llanwst, appeared for Eaton, the Llanddulas sta tion-master. Mr. Davies, solicitor, of Holywell, appeared for the two breaksmen of the goods train, Robert Jones and Richard Williams, who have been admitted to bail by the coroner to answer the charge of manslaughter. The railway company were not represented during the inquiry. Mr. Edwards-Wood said it would be necessary to refer to some of the circumstances of this cala mity. He should prove that the Irish mail train mei; with an accident iu consequence of an inter ruption on the line, and he must call witnesses to prove the cause of that interruption. lie should trace this interruption to the station at Llanddulas, and he should connect the station-master there with the responsibility of the accident. lie had tele graphed for Mr. Mason, the assistant-manager of the London and North-Western Railway, whose evidence was necessary to prove the rules and re gulations of the company, and the duties of those employed upon the line, especially the station masters. If Mr. Mason did not appear during the in q uiry it would be necessary for him to ask for an adjournment, but from the handsome manner in which the investigation before the Coroner had been met by the authorities of the company, and the de sire shown by them to give all the facilities and infor mation in their power, hehad no reason to doubt that Mr. Mason would appear at the proper time. The cases upon which he should rely in support of his application were " Reg. v. Haines," 2, Car. and Kir., 368, and " Reg. v. Hughes," 7 Cox's Criminal Cases, which he would for convenience read from Fowler on Collieries and Colliers. It was here laid down in the ease of "Reg. v. Hughes" that " It is no defence, in a case of manslaughter, that the death was caused by the negligence of others as well as by that of the prisoner ; for if the death be caused partly by the negligence of the prisoner and partly by the negligence of others, the prisoner and all those others are guilty of manslaughter." This was, however, the ruling of a single, but a very learned Judge, the late Mr. Justice Maule. The two breaks men were already sent to trial upon the coroner's inquest. The magistrates on Saturday had ad journed the application for a summons against them until to-day, and he had now only to apply for the committal of Samuel Eaton for trial at the Assizes for the manslaughter of Charles Cripps. Henry Cripps was called to prove the death - of his brother, and the identification of his remains under the circumstances already described. His PRICE.. 4d. STAMPED &d. brother was a valet in the service of Lord Farnham. Cripps, in answer to Mr. James, said that his deceased brother had left a widow. Mr. James submitted that the witness was not in position to prosecute. The proziccution should ha ve been instituted by the widow. \lr. George, the magistrates' clerk, said that Mr. Jth nes might raise the question at a later period, but his opinion was that it was competent not only fur thl brother of the deceased, but for any one of the pu,‘lic to prosecute in such a case as the pre zent. Mr. John Jones, surgeon, of Abergele, being called, asked who was to pay his expenses. The clerk said the magistrates were there in the performance of a public duty, and Mr. Jones and all other witnesses were bound to attend and give evidence. Mr. Jones, however, would get his ex penses. _ _ Mr. Jones was then sworn, and deposed that Arthur Thompson (the engine -driver of the mail train who saved his life by jumping off the engine) had been under his charge for the last week for biliary diarrhoea. He was not in a fit state to at tend before the Bench to give evidence. lie could not be moved out of bed, and it was quite impos sible for him to appear. He considered Thompson to be in a dangerous state. He was one of the medical men who examined the charred remains of the deceased. He was not in a position to say whether the deceased Charles Cripps was dead before he was burnt, or whether he died from suffo cation or from burning. The magistrates then adjourned to Mrs. Dicken's cottage in order to allow the deposition of Arthur Thompson to be taken in the presence of Eaton, the accused. The engine-driver of the mail train was unable to answer certain questions as to distances which have been accurately measured for the purpose of the investigation. The collision occurred between the Abergele and Llanddulas station, two miles from Abergele. The engine-driver stated that he could have seen the distance signal which protects the Llanddulas station on emerging from the cutting in which the accident occurred. Ills distance thus on emerging from the cutting from the distance signal would have been not less than 1,400 yards. The distance from the point where the break-van was standing at the Llanddulas station and the distance signal of that station, nearer Abergele, was 377 yards ; the distance from the main signal at the Llanddulas station to the point where the break van and the waggons were left is 225 yards. These measurements have an important bearing on the question whether the trucks, so long as they re mained at the Llanddulas station, were or were not protected by the distance danger signal at that sta tion. The distance between the scene of the acci dent and the Llanddulas distance signal is one mile and a half. The inquiry will be resumed to-morrow, and the accused was admitted to bail, himself in £lOO and two sureties in £5O each. 7HE ANGLO-CON7INENTAL SOCIETY. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Guardian : Meyrick. has given your readers credit for very short memories. I showed by incontrovertible dates that what Mr Meyrick is pleased to call " the statements of fact made by Mr. Clay and himself" were, in reality, statements of fiction. And now Mr. Meyrick coolly remarks, " Mr. MacColl's sole ar,u ment is one of dates!" I can quite under stand Mr. Meyrick's aversion to dates under the circumstances, but I regret to say that truth compels me to inflict one or two more dates upon him. " The reforming priests," says Mr. Meyrick, " welcomed Gualter because he was sent by their patron, Ricasoli. They did not know that their patron had consented for State rea sons to sacrifice them to Cardinal Sforza, and had sent a willing agent to carry out his new policy." The answer to this is that Cualteri was not appointed by Ricasoli at all. He " was sent" by Ricasoli's predecessor, La Marmora, four months before Ricasoli became Premier. Prota, was expelled for reasons very different from those assigned by Messrs. Clay and Meyrick. Mr. Clay says that " no tribunal, formal or in formal, would condemn Prota." Hy answer is that the Syndicate of Naples condemned him, and that one of the members of the Syndicate (Mr. Clay's " worthy alderman") is one of the most distinguished lawyers, as well as one of the most upright and honourable men, in Southern Italy. The members of the Syndi cate were, in addition, Liberals in politics and religion, and had every disposition to do far moi e than justice to Prota. Moreover, the facts were submitted to a committee of Eng lish Churchmen, including, among other names, those of Sir Joseph Napier and Sir W. Page Wood, and they considered them con clusive. If there are any who refuse to be convinced by facts like these, they must live in an atmosphere of prejudice so dense as to be impenetrable to the rays of ordinary mun dane reasoning. Mr. Meyrick admits that the Anglo-Conti nental Society make a regular grant of money to the Emanclpatore, and he does not deny that the paper is the property of its editor, Prota. This being so, Prota is in the pay of the Anglo- C orTtin ental Society. I must remind Mr. Meyrick that I invited him, early in our correspondence, to separate his own relations with Prota from those of the Anglo-Conti nental Society, but he insisted on dragging the society over the precipice with himself. "By us," lie said, " I mean the Anglo-Continental Society. What else should I mean?" The society and Mr. Meyrick must therefore sink or swim together, for the society has taken no step to disown Mr. Meyrick's acts. I think I may now safely leave the matter to the impartial judgment of your readers. I will only add that I have by no means ex hausted the collection of facts which I picked up during a tour of eight months in different parts of Italy and Sicily. It ismy deliberate conviction that the Anglo- Continental Society's influence in Italy helps on the cause of infi delity much more than of reformation. Many of those who came under its influence are, to my certain knowledge, now infidels. Others have breken loose from all Church principles whatsoever ; and not a few have been preci pitated into immorality by the encouragement they received from the society in breaking their vows of celibacy. A gross instance of this came under my own notice. I am, of course, far from saying or intend ing that Mr. Meyrick and his friends in Eng land would approve, or are cognisant, of these things. But they have evidently not weighed sufficiently the fatal effects of their aggres sive policy in shaking the foundations of all faith and morality in Italy. There is no need, in Southern Italy especially, to publish violeni, attacks on the Church of Rome, for she has no longer any hold worth speaking of on the population. M. MAcCoLL.

It would bti well to have it reprinted if the committee think proper to distribute it where information is required. The Liberal party wished to extend the suffrage without disturbance of payment of rates by the landlords, but the Tory Government refused this : --they would have excluded 36,000 householders in Birmingham had the compounding system continued. They in- sisted on what they called the ' test' of the payment of rates, and thus inflicted great hardship upon the small householders. The Liberal partyare ready to remedy this grievance, but the Government party Oppose any attempt to remedy it.

"JOHN BRIGHT. MR. C. FORTES= IN ESSEX. A Liberal demonstration was was held at Braintree on Thursday evening, at which the following Liberal candi dates were present (Captain Luard, R.N., occupying the chair) :—Mr. Chichester Fortescue, M.P. ; Sir T. B. Western, M.P., and Sir T. N. Abdy, the Liberal candi dates for East Essex; Mr. J. G. Rebow, M.P., and Dr. Brewer, the Liberal candidates for Colchester; Mr. E. H. Bentall, Liberal candidate for Maldon ; Mr. C. Buxton, M.P. ; Colonel Adair and Mr. T. Sutton Western, the Liberal candidates for East Suffolk ; Mr. J. A. Hard castle, M.P. ; Mr. E. B. 'Wingfield-Baker, one of the Liberal candidates for South Essex ; Captain Savill, Mr. A. Trollope, Colonel Western, Mr. G. Courtauld, &c. The toast of " The Liberal Members of the House of Commons " was proposed by Mr. A. TROLLOPE, who said that those present were not very well satisfied with them, since they had allowed Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli to holdoffice for two years. He advocated the disendowment of the Irish Church, because that Church was a wrong against the Roman Catholics, who formed the great majority of the Irish people ; but the Irish Church once disestablished, he contended that there would be no other wrong which could be considered to be done by England to Ireland. Mr. CmcnrSTER FORTESCUE, M.P., responded to the toast, and observed that Mr. Trollope had spoken of the Liberal members of the House of Commons in a tone to which he (Mr. Fortescue) could not object, for the Liberal members of that House were not satisfied with themselves. There were occasions upon which the Liberal members of the House of Commons could scarcely be said to be a party at all ; but with all their shortcomings they had, at any rate, compelled an unwilling Government to pass a Reform Act which was not a sham but a reality. They had converted an Act which was contemptible and delusive in its original constitution into an Act which, with all its faults and imperfections, he trusted and believed, among other good results, would improve both the quality and the quantity of the Liberal party in the House of Commons. He believed that those preent Would not differ from him when he said that the best act of the Liberal party in the late House of Commons, and of the House of Commons itself, was an act committed by it in its dying hours—he meant that great reso lution of the House which, after all, would hand down its name to posterity, viz., the resolution by which the House declared by an overwhelming majority that the State Church should cease to exist in Ire land. The meeting would not be surprised if this thought was the one that first came to his mind as a native of Ireland, and as one who, in the Government of Lord Russell and Mr. Gladstone, had the conduct of Irish affairs in the House of Commons. It was a strange cir cumstance that the thought which was uppermost at present in the mind of Ireland was the thought which was now uppermost in the mind of England ; and the single fact that Ireland and Great Britain were now at one upon a great and vital question was doing more to make the union of the two countries a reality than anything which had been done since 1801. We might depend upon it that the step recently taken by the House of Commons was producing happy results in Ireland. No doubt it was creating irritation and anxiety amongst the Anglican minority of the population ; but upon the great majority of the Irish people what had been done was already producing blessed and welcome results, while the ranks of the Irish Catholic and Liberal party, lately divided and distracted, were now being united together with scarcely a single exception, so as to make use of a golden opportunity to act in harmony with the great Liberal party of England and Scotland, and to send to the new Parliament as large a majority as possible to support that great and distinguished man, Mr. Gladstone, who possessed to a degree never yet attained by any English statesman, the confidence and affection of the people of Ireland. Amid the many points rf view in which the question presented itself to his (Mr. Fortescue's mind was that point of view which was based upon a retrospect of the history of Ireland. If we looked back upon the question from this point of view, we must feel that the question was not in its essence a religious or ecclesiastical question at all, but a ques tion of national or international justice. Of course, he admitted that those who were against the establishment of religion under all possible circumstances and in all possible places, would be, a fortiori, against its establish ment in Ireland ; while there were others who were blind enough to confound the case of the Church of England with the Church of Ireland, although he ventured to say that the two cases had nothing in common. But the truth remained, that the question was not in its essence an ecclesiastical one. The Liberal party did not propose to sweep away the establishment in Ireland because it was an establishment, but because it was an institution repu diated by the great majority of the people of Ireland. It was not hostility to religious establishments in general, it was not hostility to the establishment of religion in this country which would work this great political change. But the people of Great Britain had at length woke up to the reflection that it was a scandal no longer to be endured that they should maintain, not metaphorically, but literally, at the point of the sword, an institution which the people of Ireland would never have created for themselves, and which in an independent country could not have existed for a single day. The Established Church as it existed in Ireland was the last great remnant of the system of conquest ; and religious equality was the magic influence which would change the state of thought and feeling in Ireland, to a degree of which few per sons had any idea, and which would at the same time clear the air of Ireland for the settlement of other great questions. " LAW AND POLICE. CONVICTION UNDER THE FACTORT ACT.—At the Car. rickfergus Sessions a prosecution has taken place under the Factory Act which possessed a large amount of public interest. Messrs. James Taylor and Sons, of the Barn Mills, Carrickfergus, were summoned by Mr. William Dawkins Cramp, sub-inspector of factories, for illegally employing eleven females in the reeling-room after two o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday, August 22. Mr. Cramp said it was twenty minutes past two when he reached the mill, and all except the reelers had left it. He went up into the reeling•room at twenty-two minutes past two, and found the reels all going, and from forty to fifty women hard at work. The overlooker was in the room. He met with very great opposition from all the workers. They refused their names and addresses, some escaped by main force, others by stratagem, some hid behind the reels, and others in the closets. After some conversation, Mr. Cramp consented to withdraw five of the summonses on payment of costs, and the defendants were convicted in six cases—penalties £6, and £1 Ds. 6d. costs. ROBBERY OF TWENTY BALES OF COTTON.—At the Liverpool Police-court, four men, named James Robinson, William Murphy, Thomas Kennedy, and John Flynn, were charged with being concerned in stealing twenty bales of cotton, worth between £5OO and £6OO, belonging to Messrs. H. Schrader and Co., merchants. The cotton was stored in a warehouse in Bootle, of which Robinson had charge. Murphy and Kennedy are damaged cotton dealers, and Flynn is a carter who conveyed eleven bales to the railway station, These eleven bales it was aster. tained had been sold by Murphy and Kennedy to Messrs. Hodgkinson and Co., cotton waste dealers, Manchester. The prisoners were committed for trial.
