HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without siring's, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori pals 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 auy 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.

NAVAL AND MILITARY IN7ELLIGENCE VALETTA, Feb. 22.—Her Majesty's Indian steam troopship Crocodile, Capt. Watson, which left Malta on the sth inst. at 4 p.m., on her outward voyage, returned here at 630 a.m. of the 16th inst. She arrived at Alexandria from this island at daylight on the Bth, and, after landing the troops she had on board on the 9th, embarked on the 11th Mr. 11. J. Wilson, engineer, R.N., Mr. R. J. Willis, assist.- paymaster, R.N., 11 other naval invalids, and a few other supernumeraries from the East Indian squad ron, and on the 12th took on board the following troops:-46 officers, 18 ladies, 21 children, 915 non commissioned officers and men, 47 women, and 82 children, of the 94th Regiment. The Crocodile left Alexandria the same day, crossing the bar at noon, and passed the Serapis at 3 a.m. on the 13th inst. about 130 miles from Alexandria. The Crocodile continued her route for England on the afternoon of the 17th inst. The troops she is taking home are to be stationed at Plymouth, and it would be natu rally concluded that she would call in there to dis embark them. But this is not the case; her orders are to proceed to Portsmouth, and the troops will consequently have to be sent back by rail to their destination, at considerable public expense, with no little inconvenience to themselves and unnecessary loss of time. This is scarcely credible, after the very recent exposure in the press and Parliament of a similar act of official mismanagement. Her Majesty's gunboat Tyrian, 1, Lieut. Commander E. Church, arrived at Malta on the 16th inst. from Candia, having been relieved on 10th inst. by the Trinculo, 1, Lieut.-Commander de V. Sanders. In getting under way, and while towing the Trinculo to another berth, the Tyrian was thrown on a rock by a sudden squall, but she was soon got off again without having suffered any injury. Her Majesty's screw frigate Arethusa, 35, Capt. R. Coote, also arrived on the 16th inst. She was from the Piraaus, having been relieved there by the Lord Warden, 18, ironclad, Capt. W. R. Rolland. This vessel ex perienced a very rough passage up, and while royals were being set her steel topmasts, fore and main, went by the board. Owing to the prolonged voyage Lord Clarence Paget was toolate to attend the State ball given by the King and Queen of Greece, but on his arrival lost no time in duly presenting to their Majesties his congratulations on their recent marriage. His lordship has since shifted his flag from the Lord Warden to the Psyche, despatch boat, and proceeded in the latter vessel to Constan tinople. He is expected back in Malta about the 25th inst. Her Majesty's screw troopship Hima laya, Capt. S. B. Piers, arrived here from Gibraltar on the morning of the 17th inst., having on board the 87th Regiment (Royal Irish), under the com mand of Col. Lyons, for this garrison, to relieve the 2d battalion Bth Re g i men t ( t h e King's), which is ordered home, and will embark on the ;4th inst on board this vessel from the Hay wharf, in the Mar samuscetto harbour, where she is at present lying, and leave in her the following morning. The 87th are encamped at Verdala. The Himalaya con veyed the 74th Regiment from Kingstown to Gib raltar. Her Majesty's ironclad ship Caledonia, 24, Capt. Alan Gardner, which left this island on the sth inst., re-entered port on the 19th, having called at Syracuse in the course of her cruise. The Lord Clyde, 23, ironclad, Capt. Roderick Dew, which left Malta on the same day for a cruise, returned on the 20th instant, after visiting Naples. Letters have been received here from her Majesty's sur veying steamer Hydra, Captain Shortland, dated Bombay, 27th of January, stating that she was to leave that day for Aden, where she expected to arrive about the middle of March, and, after surveyi ng J ac k Sh oa l , proceed to t h e Mauritius and the Cape on her return home. As application has, however, been made to the Admi ralty for a survey of the neighbourhood of Suez, in connection with the intended laying of the Anglo- Indian Telegraph cable, it is not impossible she may be detained in the Red Sea to carry out this work, if no vessel be available for this purpose. Commu nication by the Malta and Alexandria cable continues uninterrupted. Two foreign men-of-war have arrived here during the week. The Norwegian screw corvette Nordstjernen, 15, came in on the 16th inst. from Alexandria. It was this vessel which was erroneously reported to have grounded at Myti lene. The German screw frigate Hertha, 21, entered this port on the morning of the 20th inst. from Smyrna. Her Majesty's ships in port are :--The Hibernia, receiving ship, bearing the flag of Rear- Admiral Kellett, C.B. ; the Caledonia, 24, the Lord Clyde, 23, and the Enterprise, 4, ironclads ; the Arethusa, 35 ; the Endymion, 21 ; the Cocka trice, 1, the Wizard, 1, and the Tyrian, 1, gunboats; the Caradoc, despatch vessel; the Himalaya, troop ship. There are also the following men-of-war in port :—The Mahmoudia, 20, Turkish ironclad ; the Mahomed Ali, 32, Egyptian frigate ; an Egyptian sailing transport ; the Nordstjernen, 15, Norwegian corvette ; and the Hertha, 21, German frigate. The first selected armour-plate of 61in. in thick ness manufactured for the Captain turret-ship by Messrs. Charles Cammell and Co. (Limited), Cy clops Steel and Iron Works, Sheffield, was tested yesterday on board the Thuuderer, target-ship, at Portsmouth, under the superintendence of Capt. A. Hood, C. 8., commanding the gunnery-ship Excel lent. The plate measured 16ft. in length by 38in. breadth, and weighed 5 tons 12cwt. It was bolted on the 40-inch timber backing of the proof-room target bulkhead of the Thunderer, and six 8-inch spherical shots were fired at it from a distance of 25f t. All six of the shots struck within a space of 19 square inches, and the results apparently placed the plate above the average of what are now con sidered " good" plates, but its classification will not be given until it has been taken down from its pre sent position, and its reverse side examined. No cracks were opened in any part of the plate, or even in the indentations made by the shot, but the last two :shots fired, striking centrally where the four previously made indentations overlapped, squeezed up a fringe of metal which was just sufficiently torn by the tremendous tension to which it had been sub jected to exhibit its tough, fibrous nature. The greatest indentation made, as the combined results of the six-shot blows, was 2in., and the least inden tation, as the result of the one-shot blow, was I.7in. Mr. George Wilson was present as the representa tive of Memo. Charles Cammell and Co , There PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd. appears.: in this arrangement of through-bolts and ma - ssive , timber bulkheads on board the Thunderer an alm( ist unnecessary expenditure of time, labour, and material, There are 12 holes to be drilled through each plate, and 12 bolts with nuts provided. The backin g. of the proof-room bulkhead has to be next replan ked and made sound, and then follows the labour c f boring the backing and bolting on the plate, and, after the firing, taking it down again and rernovr.:ng it to the dockyard for inspection. The plan pt rsued at Shoebury is much more simple, and less ex T insive and tedious. The holes only are bored through the plate, and by these it is suspended to a circular iron bar, and fired at in that position without any backing. By this means the effect of every shot can be seen on the back as well as on the front of the plate, and consequently a far more re liable estimate may be formed of the plate's quality than can be obtained by the present system. The Blanche, screw sloop (unarmoured wooden), 6 guns, 1,28 G tons, 350-horse power, Capt. J. E. Montgomerie, which obtained 13.6 knots as a mean speed on her recent trial over the measured mile in Stokes Bay, has sailed from Spithead for the coast of Australia. On Tuesday the troops at Aldershot, under the command of Lieut.-Gen. the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlet t, K.C.8., were exercised in field manoeuvres. At half-past 10 o'clock the six battalions of infantry formed up in line of contiguous columns on the Queen's-parade, North Camp. Shortly after the formation was complete, the Lieut.-General com manding, attended by his Staff, arrived upon the ground, and was received with the usual salute; after which the troops marched past in grand divi sions in quick time, and in the following order : Pioneers, bands, drains, and bugles of the 31 In fantry Brigade ; Staff and Major-General Sir A. Horsford, K.C.B. ; Major Madden and 51st (King's Own) Light Infantry ; Col. Peyton and 98th Regi ment; Major Deacon and 54th (West Norfolk) Regiment. Pioneers, bands, drums, and bugles of the 2d Brigade ; Staff and Major-Gen. Carey, C. 8.; Major the Hon. Le Poer Trench and 40th (the 2d Somersetshire) Regiment; Lieut.-Colonel Harrison and 86th (Staffordshire) Volunteers; Lieut.-Col. Synge and 43d (Monmouthshire) Light Infantry. After passing the saluting base the regiments broke into column of companies from grand divisions at the double counter march, and went past en masse of columns from the reverse flank, and left in front. Having gained their original ground, they counter marched by ranks, and marched past by brigades in contiguous columns. Several field movements fol lowed, which were performed with celerity and precision. The weather was delightfully fine, and the ground in excellent condition for the ma 1103m-res. The iron armour - plated hydraulic gunboat Waterwitch, Commander N. Philip Sharpe, having discharged her ammunition, was removed on Wed nesday from Plymouth Sound into Hamoaze to undergo some alterations and have defects made good. The screw steam sloop Royalist, 11, having been supplied with a new mainyard at Plymouth, left the Sound on Tuesday for the North American and West India station. A circular memorandum has been received by Col. Suther, C. 8., commanding the Royal Marine division at Woolwich, announcing that the standard has been raised to sft. 7iin., and that no further recruits are to be received at any of the head quarters of the corps until further Admiralty orders are issued. It has been likewise announced that the whole of the recruiting parties in provincial stations throughout the kingdom are to return to their various head. quarters on the Ist of March. The recruiting stations at London and Edinburgh are still to be retained. Capt. John D. Broughton and Captain T. Magin have been permitted to ex change, the former to go to Gloucester to receive boys for service in the Royal Navy. At Aldershot advantage is being taken of the fine weather to exercise the artillery and cavalry in the drill and movements peculiar to those branches of the service. On Tuesday C, D, and E batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery, commanded by Capts. Franks, Timbrell, and Hill respectively, together with the field batteries (C of the 4th and C of the 9th brigade) formed upon on Eelmoor-hill in line, and in complete marchingorder, and were inspected by Col. Smyth, C. 8., commanding the artillery division at Aldershot. Subsequently Col. Light, in command of the Royal Ilorse. Artillery, and Col. Elgee, of the field batteries, put their respective commands through various artillery movements, ending by marching past at the gallop and the trot. On the same day the cavalry brigade, consisting of the Ist Dragoon Guards, under Col. Pattle, C. 8., and the 4th Dragoon Guards, under Colonel Shute, formed up is the Long Val ley in quarter-distance columns of squadrons, and were exercised in various movements by Brigadier- General White, C.B.

Yesterday C and E batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery, under Colonel Light, were practised in gun drill. The whole area of the Camp and the review grounds is now much drier than usual at this season ; but the smallness of the force at present stationed at.

But if you must have the extreme trans parency of pure Paraffine, "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 Paraffin Candles. 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 "PRICE'S 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.

" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir cumstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of 20 years.

The barome trical reading increased from 30.27 in. at the beginning pf the week to 30.40 in. by 10a.m. on Sunday, 17th February ; decreased to 29.33 in. by noon on the 19th ; increased to 30.02 in. by 9 a.m. on the 20th ; decreased to 29.78 in. by 9 a.m. on the 21st ; increased to 29.83 hi. l . y 9 p.m. on the same day ; decreased to 29.61 in. by noon on the 22nd ; and was 29.61 in. at the end of the week. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 42.4 deg., which is 3.9 deg. above the .. average of the corre sponding week in fifty years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 55.2 deg. on Friday, 21st February. The lowest night temperature was 29.4 deg. on Sunday, 16th February. The entire range of temperature in the week was, therefore, 25.8 deg. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 42.5 d eg . ; th at o f t h e l owest was 41.2 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point tem perature and air temperature was 5.6 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 81, complete saturation being represented by 100. Rain fell to the amount of 0.16 in. The general direction of the 'wind was S.W.

Newman Hall delivered his lecture on " The Goodwill of Great Britain to America." Introducing the lecturer, he ex. plained that by presiding he took the place of the Dukeeai Argyll, whose " just and generous view of American affairs during the last few years of trouble " he highly extolled ; and he assented to take the place first on, account of the deep interest which he took in the subject of the lecture, and secondly because of his respect and admiration for the lecturer. Then, dealing with the subject of the evening, he said : There is nothing with regard to the dispute between the two conntriea which has done so great mischief as the igno rance which has prevailed among us. It is not that we are much more ignorant than any other people; the Americans to a large extent are not very well acquainted, with us ; and I scarcely ever read anything that h Frenchman has written about England that does not ap pear to be ludicrous from its non - acquaintance with the habits and customs and feelings of our people. But although there are cases in which ignorance is simply ignorance ; there are other cases in which it is prodigious mischief and possible danger. Now it is just seven years ago since we were all startled by the commencement of the great events which have been of late occurring in the United States ; State after State was erecting the banner of rebellion and seceding from the great republic. If we look back to that time we shall see what a misfortune it was to us that nur people and some of those who ought to have been best instructed were so ignorant of everything connected with the United States. lam not quite sure that the greatest ignorance was not found to prevail most extensively among those who considered themselves as the instructed classes—(hear)—for we know perfectly well, without mentioning names, that men in the very highest positions in the political parties in this country exhibited an unacquaintance with American affairs which we now know to have been very remarkable, and to have been followed by very evil consequences. I believe really that it may be said without exaggeration that they knew nothing about America ; that which they thought they knew for the most part was altogether wrong, and they were in a rather worse position than if they had absolutely known nothing at all. Some of them could tell you every thing, I believe, to the minutest detail of the Homeric age ; they could tell you nearly all the legends of the ancient world, but with regard to the great English nation on the other side of the Atlantic they knew nothing which aided them in their course, whether in Parliament or in the Government. If I were to turn for a moment to another class of persons who ought to be well informed, because they not only are held to be, but often avow themselves to be great public instructors, I should not find much more knowledge among them. I saw not long ago in the house of a gentleman in this city a whole shelf of volumes, I am not sure how many, but I think at least a dozen, composed of leading articles, of letters from corre spondents, and of paragraphs, of what was then supposed to be important information in every shape, cut out from a powerful newspaper in this country, and pasted upon blank leaves.' But these twelve volumes which had been got together during four or five years had been from morning to morning published in this city, and offered to all the people to be read, but tenc'ered more especially to the rich and the powerful, as the gathered knowledge of the con ductors of that journal with regard to one of the most stupendous events which the history of the world affords any narrative of. So whether we speak of the mem bers of the Government, or of a large portion of the members of Parliament, or I believe of a majority of those who profess to instruct the public through the press in this city, we know now that seven years ago they were as ignorant as children, and if you had had a score of crossing-sweepers they could not possibly have made greater errors than were made by those who oughtto have been the leaders of public opinion in this country. (Cheers.) But the rich and the powerful classes were not only ignorant ; they had this great misfortune—their in stincts on this question were altogether wrong, and there fore, when they saw beyond the Atlantic the greatest struggle of 'modern times going on, in which the case was more decided and pronounced and clear than in any other struggle to which you can point in history, this rich and powerful class gave, their voice and their sym pathy, I will say without exaggeration, for the very worst cause for which brave men at least ever took up arms. (Cheers.) But if we come to the great body of the people, we find a different state of things among them. I don't assert for a moment that what we call the mass of the people, and I refer more particularly to the labouring and artisan population in the counties of Lan caster and York, were more instructed with regard to the geography of the United States, how its great rivers run, where its great cities were, or what was its population and its revenue, but they were saved from that other misfor tune, for their instincts were. altogether right— (cheers)— though abundant efforts were made in the North of Eng. land to lead the people to espouse the cause of the South, and to proclaim their wish that the Union should be dis solved. But if we had the sad spectacle on the one hand that the rich were supporting a rebellion the main object of which was the continued oppression of a whole race, we had on the other hand the grand and magnificent spectacle that the great body of the people were, as they always wish to be, the supporters of justice and freedom. It was in the month of December 1861 that the excitement arose in con nection with the seizure of certain envoys from a certain steamer by an American ship of war, and I remember at that time speaking my sentiments to a meeting in the town in which I live. I shall refer only to one expression I used upon that occasion. I advised the Government, the Parliament, and the people of England to treat the American nation during their great and calamitous struggle with a generous and frienclly neutrality. I did not for a moment suppose that anybody could urge that it was our business as a nation to take up arms or to interfere directly in that great struggle, but I thought we had the power by a generous and friendly neutrality at any rate to express our sympathy with whatever is good in the United States. But the Government of the day, probably in fluenced by the unfortunate atmosphere with which it was surrounded, treated the whole question with what I will call a cold and an ungenerous neutrality—(hear)—and the result of that I need not enter into ; it is written in a pile of blue-books ; it is felt now in the office of almost every merchant ; it touches now the feelings and sometimes excites the alarm of almost all thoughtful men, and I believe, also, of thoughtful women in this kingdom. Now, if the Government of that time had taken that very simple advice which I tendered them, what would have been the result? The two nations would have been knit together in bonds which no Minister, and no Cabinet, and no press could by any means have burst asunder. I know this from the excessive kindness with which I have been treated by Americans in this country and in their own. Others of those around me may say the same for them selves ; but if all the people of England, including all the rich class, the powerful conductors of the press, and your Cabinet Ministers, had held the same generous language towards the people of the United States, we should have been as one together as if there was not a drop of ocean between us, and I might have defied any man or any body of men, or any Government, or any nation, or any acci dent, or any cause, to have separated these two great nations in times to come. They would have been one nation in sympathy, and they would have been a great guarantee for freedom and civilisation in the world. (Cheers.) At the present, instead of that, we are separated by many suspicions and by much dislike, and I am afraid in the address to which we are about to listen we shall hear that there is in the United States among many a very bitter l feeling astn se seven when yr s Now, memory l am n turns backot n to e of those the who events of the believe that the state of things between England and America is without remedy, or that it is highly alarm ing I don't believe that the negotiations on ques ti ons which are now pending between the two countries are absolutely close i, and I have the most complete faith that there are good men enough in numbers in the United States and in England to bring about before long a just and a complete settlement of all the important questions which are now unsettled between the two nations. However, we must admit one thing. I admit it, not with .surprise, but, I confess it, with great sorrow, that the ignorance which prevailed seven years ago has been of enormous injury to both nations, and probably throughout the whole of this generation there will be felt in the United States the kind of feeling which we have as individuals when we had received an injury from one from whom we had a right to expect good ; and that is a feeling far worse, which goes far deeper, and is far less accessible to remedy than if we received similar injury from a person whom we had deemed heretofore hostile to us. It is impossible for an Englishman to know how much the Americans value the opinion of this country. (Hear, hear.) We cannot trace our ancestors back to those parts of the Continent from which many hundreds of years ago they came. We arc here where we were born, and where our families have lived for generations ; we have no special sympathies with distant countries as the Americans hc.••e with us. When they come over here you may find them in all parts of the kingdom almost, searching parish registers and churchyards, and looking up old books endeavouring to find out where their great grandfathers came from ; and it is to them an intense satisfaction when they can trace their families to some spot to them henceforth a favoured spot in this islariti. Then remember their case during perhaps four of the last seven years. Many thought them on the ground with the, garotter at their throats ; they were struggling for very, life, for all that every citizen of that republic holds to be dear in public affairs, and they felt that we did not treat them with that friendly and generous neutrality which they had a right to expect from us, a nation from which their fathers went forth.
