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.

No. 8, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's T HE FOREIGN and COLONIAL GOVERNMENT TRUST. I n Certificates of £lOO each, bearing 6 per Cent. Interest. To be issued at .iB5. The object of this Trustit7give the investor of moderate means the same advantages as the large capitalist in diminishing the risk of investing in Foreign and Colonial Government Stocks, by spreading the invest ment over a number of different Stocks, and reserving a portion of the extra interest as a Sinking Fund to pay off the original capital. A capitalist who at any time within the last twenty or thirty years had invested, say, .£1,000,000 in ten or twelve such Stocks, selected with ordinary prudence, would, on the above plan, not only have received a high rate of in terest, but by this time have received back his ori g inal capital by the action of the drawings and Sinking Fund, and held the greater part of his Stocks for nothing. Some parties, believing it would be a convenience to the public if such a mode of investment were made gene rally accessible, have made arrangements by which well selected Government Stocks, to the value of £1,000,000 sterling, will be placed in the names of the following trustees, viz.:— The Right Honourable Lord Westbury, The Lord Eustice Cecil, M.P., G. M. W. Standford, Esq., M.P., George Wodehouse Currie, Esq., and Philip Rose, Esq. The following Stocks, being all dividend-paying Stocks of Foreign or Colonial Governments, currently dealt in on the London Stock Exchange, have been selected for the investment, viz.:—Austrian, Australiaa, Argentine, Canadian, Brazilian, Chilian, Danubian, Egyptian, Italian Nova Scotian, Peruvian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish', Turkish, and United States Ten-Forties payable in gold ; not more than £lOO,OOO being invested in the Stock of any one Goiernment. _ These Stocks will be made over to the trust at the prices quoted in yesterday's official list (18th March), as certified by two eminent brokers, plus £2 10s. for each £lOO of Stock, for which all expenses of the purchase and issue, including stamps, &c., have been undertaken. The prices and specific amounts of each Stock are spe cified in the schedule to the contract and trust deed. The average rate of interest of the investment in the above stocks is 8 per cent., and a large number of them, purchased considerably below par, will be repayable by drawings at par, within the period of the Trust. Against this investment of £1,000,000 will be issued 11,765 Certificates of .£lOO each, with half-yearly Coupons bearing £6 per cent. interest, payable at th e Banking holse of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, Currie, and Co., Ist March and Ist September, the first Coupon falling duo on let September next. The price of issue will be £B5 per cont., thus yielding an annual interest of 7 per cent., without reckoning the advantage of being repaid at par, and without including the value of the reversion of the Stocks purchased. The excess of interest, after paying the 7 per cent. interest to the subscribers, and the amount received front drawings, will, after payment of expenses, be applied as a sinking fund in repaying the Certificates at par by annual drawings, which are to be made in the presence of a Notary Public, in the month of February in each year. According to a table prepared by Mr. Jellicoe, late Pre sident of the Society of Actuaries, the whole of the 11,765 Certificates will in all probability be thus paid off in 21 years, and there will remain Stocks to the amount of £909,409, nominal capital, for distribution as a reversion ' • accord ingly the Trust will b e woun d up as soon as all the Cer tificates have been drawn, or at the end of 24 years, whichever shall fi rs t happen; the remaining Stocks being then sold, and the remaining Certificates, if any, paid off. In addition to the Coupons for the half - yearly interest, a Coupon, representing the share accruing to the Certi ficate-holder in the above reversion, will be attached to each Certificate. Thi s Coupon o f Reversion will be re tained by the holder when his certificate is drawn. The arrangements thus made will secure the following advantages to the subscribers :- 1. Iterest at 7 per cent. on the amount subscribed. 2. A bonus of 15 per cent. by the repayment of capital at par within twenty-four years. 3. A reversion, calculated by Mr. Jellicoe at upwards of £900,000 nominal capital, eventually divis ible among the subscribers. If by the default or delay of any foreign Government the dividends and drawings received in any year should be insufficient to pay the full amount of interest on the Certificates the deficiency will form a first charge upon the subsequent receipts, subject only to the annual allow ance for expenses. The object being to give the fullest confidence in the security of the Trust Fund, the Stocks will remain undo r the control of the Trustees, at the Bank of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, Currie, and Co., till tho termination of the Trust, and the Trustees will be empowered to draw dividends, receive capital repaid, &c., and apply the amount received in interest and Sinking Nand according to the Trust Deed. A power of sal; under special circumstances, will be vested in the Trustees and a Committee of Certificate holders to be chosen at General Meetings, held annually for the purpose, and for receiving a Report and Accounts from the Trustees. Auditors at the same time will be appointed to make periodical inspections of the securities of the Trust, and any vacancies in the Trust will bo filled up. The ordinary expenses of management of the Trust are limited to a sum not exceeding £2,500 per annum. No other expenses can be undertaken without tho assent of the Certificate-hold ers ' C omm i ttee . Within two month s a f ter t h e c l os i ng o f th e su b scr ipti on , a General Meeting of the Certificate-holders will be con vened for the purpose of appointing a Commiteee, in terms of the Trust Deed. Application must be made on the annexed form, accom panied by a deposit of £lO per cent.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING. The Lorin CHANCELLOR took his s , 3at on the Woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Central Cornwall Railway Bill was read a second time. Lord STANHOPE said that he understood that the right of giving proxies was to be abolished, and ho would ask the Lord Privy Seal what course was to be pursued. The Earl of MALMESBURY said that ho was only waiting to propose a question until more peers were in town, then, probably next week, he should lay a statement beforo their lordships. REGULATION OF RAILWAYS BILL. The Duke of RICHMOND moved the second reading of this bill, and said that he believed that the enterprises of the executives of railways were most important, and that the premium on railway property during the past year had been over £38,000,000, almost approaching what might be called the interest of the national debt of this country. It was of the utmost importance that the general public should have the opportunity of knowing what was the actual state of various companies of which they were shareholders, and to know that there was £138,000,000 which, although authorised, had not been yet paid up. He wished that such a regulation of accounts should pre vail that there should be an uniform system of accounts in all railway companies, and one which would enable any shareholder to understand what would be the ac counts in every railway company. (Hoar, hear.) It was an astonishing fact that it was far more dangerous to walk about London, according to the railway statistics, than it was to travel on railways. He hal therefore thought it better to bring in a small measure to deal with the salient points than to bring in a much more comprehensive bill. He would move the second reading. Lord REDESDALE opposed the bill, but he thought that no securities given by railway companies should be legal unless registered. Ho spoke also as to the position of auditors, and thought that there should be some regula tion as far as they were concerned, lie approved of all regulations which could ameliorate the condition of rail way travellers, and also the vehicles in which they tra velled. After some observations from Lord WEnBURY, who suggested some alterations, the bill was read a second time. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING, The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. THE IRISH CHURCH. Mr. GLADSTONE gave notice that on Monday next he should lay on the table the precise terms of a motion he intended to move with 7 respect to the Irish Church. Before he made the terms of his motion ho should like to know what arrangement the Government could make, in order to give him an early day on which ho could bring forward his motion. If ho did not receive a favourable answer to his request, then he should have to make the best arrangement open to him as an independent mem ber. (Cheers.) THE BASUTO COUNTRY. Mr. MILLER asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if there was any truth in the report contained in the daily press that the Government had extended British protection to the Basuto country adjoining the Cape of CinciktoPe end /[4to, ituci wintim it Tow inttiacitcl to annex the territory; and, if so, was it to bo annexed to the colony of the Cape or Natal ? Mr. ADDERLEY said it was not intended to extend British protection over the Basuto Territory, but the Go 7ernor of Natal had been empowered to negotiate the an nexation of that territory to Natal, provided the tribe agree to be governed by the same laws as the colonists. The object of the arrangement was to bring to a conch-- son the question of boundary between the Basuto coun try and the Orange Free States, a matter that had given rise to much inconvenience. He should be quite prepared to give the correspondence immediately it was completed. COUNTY REGISTRATION. Mr. CRAUF HIM asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether his attention had boon called to a mooting held at the Red Lion Hotel, Cambridge, on Saturday last, for the purpose of inaugurati ng the Cambridgeshire, Isle of Ely, and Town of Cambridge Conservative Registration Society, which was alleged to have boon summoned and presided over by the Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Cambridge, the Earl of Hardwicke, and at which he was reported to have made the following, amongst other obser vations, "Some short period of time has elapsed—two months —since I felt it my duty to take the chair at a preliminary meeting which was called for the purpose of forming a Tqwn. and County Registration Society. . . . I take the chair to-day as a Conservative. I look forward to the necessity for such a society as this for the purpose of guid ing those persons who in future will have to exercise the Parliamentary franchise, and of leading them to their posi tion on the register. . • I hope I shall *LAWN. with influence, to establish a Conserv a ti ve R eg i s tration As sociation in the county," and whether her Majesty's Go vernment were prepared to sanction and approve such an interference in electoral matters on the part of a peer of the realm ? Mr. DISRAELI said he did not know upon what prin ciple the hon. gentleman objected to the conduct of Lord Hardwick°. There was an ancient resolution which pre cluded peers from interfering in the election of members of Parliament, passed, he believed, in the year 1611, but he did not think that could be construed to extend to regis trations. (Laughter.) It would be more convenient if tho hon. gentleman felt it desirable that the house should express its opinion on the matter for him to bring the subject forward in a more precise form, in order that the sense of the house might bo taken on it. His own impres sion was that all efforts to promote registration in the new constituencies ought to be encouraged, and so far as his own feelings wore concerned, he was in favour of everything calculated to increase the general body. The conduct of Lord Hardwicke did not appear of a character to surprise him (Mr. Disraeli). Ho naturally took great interest in the county in which ho resided, and no doubt he exerted himself amongst his neighbours to promote registration— (laughter)—in order that they might be in a position to take advantage of the great boon that Parliament had con ferred upon them. (Laughter.) PARTY PROCESSIONS (IRELAND.) Mr. C. LANYON asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he intended to recommend during this session the repeal of the Party Processions Act ; or, if not, whether he intended to recommend any alterations in the said Act with a view of removing all doubts as to the interpretation of said law, and of satisfying the public mind that an im partial administration of the same will, as far as possible, be secured in all parts of Ireland ? Earl MAYO said he did notiutend to postpone the repeal of the act, but he thought it was more than likely that something would be done to remove any misapprehension that might exist on the subject. THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS. Mr. VERNER asked the Secretary to the Treasury for what reason the outgoing Australian mails were now arranged to start the day before the arrival of the incom ing, and thereby cause most serious inconvenience, and also expense to correspondents with those colonies ? Mr. SCLATER-BOOTH said the opportunity of an swering letters by the Australian mails, as now arranged, extended to five days, via Marseilles, at an increased charge of only 4d. The present dates of departure had been fixed after the greatest consideration, and he did not think they could be altered to meet the views of the hon. member. He thought that the facilities afforded via Marseilles quite compensated for the increase of the post age. THE INDIAN FINANCES. Mr. CRAWFORD asked whether it was true that the Government had received, by telegraph, the heads of the stattment made by the Financial M inister in India ; if so, whether ho could state to the house if they were of a fa vourablo character. Sir S. NORTHCOTE said it was quite true that he had received the heads of the statement made by Mr. Massey, and that they were of a very favourable character. (Hear, hear.) The surplus, after all charges, had been met, except irrigation. There was no new loan or new taxa tion, and the income tax was to bo reconsidered and im proved. (Hear, hear.) ALLEGIANCE TO THE QUEEN. On the motion for the house going into committee of supply, Mr. W. E. FOSTER called the attention of the house to the effect of the law regulating the allegiance of subjects of the Queen who had emigrated to foreign countries, and especially to the United States of America, and asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether be did not think the time was opportune for attempting to arrive at a mutual understanding between her Majesty's Government and the Government of the United States re specting the right of expatriation. Sir J. COLLIER followed the hon. member with some remarks on the same subject, and was of the opinion that the laws of both England and America required revision. Lord STANLEY thought Mr. Forster had done service in bringing this question forward, and would at once de clare that he saw no reason to dissent from the genera tendency of the views the hon. member had expressed. So long as the law of the United States remained identical, as it now was, with our own, we had a fair reply to them in any controversy that might arise ; but that was no reason wby the two countries should not agree to amend the law of both so far as it was unsuitable to the times in which we lived. He had, therefore, directed our Minister at Washington to express to the Government of the United States the wish of her Majesty's Govern ment to take the whole question into consideration and, if they would act i❑ same manner, to meet them half way respecting it. The difficulties of the question were not great in themselves. Those of a political character were indeed comparatively unimportant ; but there were many legal difficulties that might arise and which would require to be dealt with carefully—as, for example, the status of the children of emigrants, of persons returning to their native country and resuming their allegiance here, and of the inhabitants of English colonies. He was un willing to give any distinct pledge to the house, but he thought it likely, before anything was concluded, that it would be found necessary to have an inquiry by competent legal authorities into the various technical difficulties and points of detail. In Committee of Supply, a vote of £1,000,000 was taken on account of the army service for the ensuing finan cial year. The Compulsory Church-rates Abolition Bill was re committed for the insertion of certain am , ndments. The bill was then reported, as amended, to the house, and or dered to be read a third time on Monday. The house adjuurned at half-past 12 o'clock. CHESS CONGRESS OF 1868. Wilkes's Spirit says : —The project of organizing a Chess Congress meets with much favour in New York. Many of the most cele brated chase magnates of Europe have already expressed their desire to participate in it. Among others we may name Messrs. Staunton, Kolisch, and Steinitz —a host in them selves. Let every chess club throughout the United States both North and South. East and West (for chess is cosmo politan), obtain subscriptions for this desirable object, and the requisite amount ($5,000) will easily be obtained. The Pall Mall Gazette remarks :—"lt appears that the proposed rowing match between Harvard Univer sity and the University of Oxford is abandoned, the Har vard oarsmen being determined to row after their fashion, without a coxswain, and the Oxford oarsmen being equally determined to row with one. We cannot correctly see why a compromise could not have been effected, each crew rowing after the fashion to which it had been accus tomed. It must be admitted that the Harvard men, in offering to cross the Atlantic to try their skill with the best crew in England, showed air excellent spirit, and wo cannot but regret that they should have been thwarted by a matter of detail." About four miles from the newly-opened Japa nese port of Hiogo is an extensive deposit of coal. Tho methods of working the mines aro of the most primitive description, Wherever the coal or shale has been seen crop_ ping out from the hillside, a horizontal passage, never more than 25 toot long, has been run in. The miners, crouched to the ground in these burrows, with pointed ham mers pick away at the sides, and very carefully assort with their hands each little piece of coal obtained, according to its quality. The Japanese Government is not insensible to the advantages of an improved mode of working the coal of Hiogo, and it is not impossible that before long some more systematic plan will be introduced. LADVERTISEMENT.I—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Dropsical Swellings.—Whatever may be the remote cause of collections of water in the human body, it must be pru-' dent to disperse them as soon as possible. The readiest means of accomplishing this end aro supplied by using Holloway's ointment to increase the activity of the absor bents. When this ointment is well rubbed upon the skin it removes all serous congestion, overco mes all mechanical obstructions to the free return of the blood, and prevents , the deposit of serum and water. Holloway's pills likewise augment the absorbing power; they move circuitously on the capillaries through the circulation, while his ointment acts directly through the skin. Both should be employed lu clropeiee vane et • the Xicluers. NWS PAP E 5 tfilifit-ZgEtbixiEt'', I • Dean Stanley has published * address he lt? delivered a t Sion College "On thy — conneaKn bet is Church and State." In a note we litid follving remarks on the Irish Church question—" Whatever may be the issue forced by the emergency of the time on those who have to deal with the Irish Church, and viewing It merely as an isolated problem, it must be remembered that the question of the connection or separation of Church and State is not of necessity involved in it. When sixty or seventy years ago the difficulty of the Irish Establishment first arose, it presented itself under the form of endowing and establishing the Roman Catholic Church by the side or in the stead of the Protestant Church. The notion of parting with the benefits of an Established Church altogether had not then become one of the elements of discussion. This has been introduced into the question partly, no doubt, by the external action of the English Liberationists, partly also by the difficulties thrown in the way of such a scheme by the Roman Catholics them selves. It may be that the combined forces of these two - streams will be too powerful to resist. But it is worth while remarking that dispassionate observers seem gene rally agreed in considering that if such a solution is adopted it will not be as the best, but as the only one which existing circumstances will allow—perhaps as in itself the worst, except for the pressure of those practical difficulties. It is probably admitted on all sides that, on the one hand, the dependence of the Roman Catholic clergy on their flocks for subsistence, and on a foreign prince for dignity and rank, which now forms the worst feature of the Irish ecclesiastical system in the eyes of all reasonable men, would remain undiminished. In no other country in Europe have the Roman Catholic clergy refused the endowment and control of the State. No other Government in Europe, Roman Catholic or Protestant, would willingly lose such an opportunity of guarding and guiding so powerful an element in the national life. And, on the other hand, it seems also iiigreeddeed, by some it is put - forward as a reason for disestablishing the Protestant Church—that in that case the vehemence of the Orange party now confined, and moderated in some degree by the influence of a: venerable and legal institution, would be set loose on a new career of proselytism and aggression, which certainly would not tend to increase the harmony between the two Churches. This, again, is a state of things which n) statesman, no large-minded Christian, would naturally desire, however much he may be constrained to acquiesce in it as an escape from immediate evils, and a concession to urgent dCmands. Ido not in these remarks enter on the question of the mode of dealing with the Irish Esta blishment. I only venture to suggest that, as even in this case the results of a complete severance of the con- nection with the State are generally deemed questionable in themselves, they cannot be pleaded as arguments in behalf of carrying out the same system where no auch exceptional circumstances exist." . THE ALYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. The news from Abyssinia is, on the whole, good. There is still difficulty with the muleteers, who refuse after a long march to supply their animals with sufficient water. This has been got over, however, by making only short marches, by which the prejudices of the muleteers are consulted, and the mules themselves not overworked. This somewhat accounts for the delay which has been remarked upon in the march on Magdala. It appears that the distance between Attegerat and Antalo has been overcalculated by some twenty miles, so that instead of the troops having a hundred miles to march they will only have some seventy. nine. The correspondent of the Times, in mentioning this matter, says that the two hundred miles between Antalo andMagdala, is likely, by taking a direct route, to dwindle to 133 miles. The passes have proved better than was expected, and though there are some rough bits of road, altogether things have been very fair. There is a report that Theodore is maching on Gobazye. Though the autho rity is not good, the Times correspondent seems to think the rumour not imProbable. It would be one of the best moves the King could make, as, if he takes Gobazye before the British come up, he will restore his prestige, which has sadly fallen with his troops. The Herald correspondent gives some interesting facts concerning the character of the Abyssinians. He relates a story in which the Hindoo Syces connected with the British army trespassed on sacred ground. The priests brought the matter before Sir Robert Napier, who ordered the offenders to receive fifty lashes each. Where upon the natives went down on their knees and declared they would not rise unless the trespassers were forgiven. He also confirms the truth of what Bruce said, that the natives cut steaks from the living ox. Some officers lately came upon the natives just as they were in the act of per forming it. The unfortunate bullock was thrown down, and its four legs were tied together. The operator then cut an incision in the skin near the spine, just behind the hip-joint. lie blew; into this to separate the skin from the flesh, and then cut two other incisions at right angles to the first, and then lifted a flap of skin four or five inches square. From this he cut out a lump of flesh, cutting with the knife under the skin, so that the amount of flesh taken out was larger than the portion uncovered. The operator then filled up the hole with cow-dung, replaced the flap of skin, plas tered it up with mud, untied the feet of the poor animal, who had kept up a low moaning while the operation was going on, gave it a kick to make it get up, and the whole thing was over. I should mention that the operator cut two or three gashes in the neighbourhood of the wound, apparently as a sign that the animal had been operated upon in that part. The officer observed that several of the other cattle in the same herd were marked in a pre cisely similar manner. They returned in half an hour, and found the animal walking about and feeding quietly. Antalo was IJoked forward to as a sort of paradise, and everyone was wishing to get to it. It did not, however, come up to expectation. The Telegraph, correspondent says :—" Our reception by the good people of Antalo can- . not be said to have been hospitable ; no one came near us, and the governors were reported absent. The com missariat officer, who rode into the town, came back desponding. He reported that Antalo, instead of being the magnificent place we had pictured to our selves, was a straggling, dirty village ; he saw scarcely any inhabitants, except women, who, when he asked for grain, only said, ' 011, for goodness' sake, go away ; we have no grain—nothing to eat. For pity's sake, get out of the town.' The fact is, the people are all frightened ont of their wits. It takes them days to realise the extraordi nary fact that we do not pillage them ; they cannot under stand it at all." In the march on Antalo frequent stoppages were made, in cons( (pence of the guns having to be lifted over bills and unwieldy ground. Complaints regarding the stop pages were loud and frequent, for they made the day and the march seem unusually long, and the afternoon WaS well spent before the men reached the camp. This, the Daily News correspondent says, was unfortunate in more ways than one ; for no sooner had they arrived than the east shewed unmistakable signs of an approaching storm, and before tents could be pitched or shelter provided, a thunderstorm was raging among the hills. The lightning was characterised by a vividity unknown elsewhere than in tropical latitudes ; the thunder was loud and the rain heavy ; though, luckily for more than one, Mai Walliz was visited only by the tail of the shower. Writing from Ad Abagi, on the 22nd February, the same correspondent says :—" Major Grant and Captain Speedy, both belonging to the Intelligence Department, returned to Howzen this morning. These officers had met Kassai a few miles beyond that place, and made as defi nite arrangements as possible regarding the meeting, which may take place to-morrow, if the Tigr6 prince is ascertained to be at the appointed place—a plain about five miles from Ad Abagi, in the direction of Adowa. Several chiefs have already visited the camp, in order to satisfy. them selves of the truth or falsity of the rumours that are abroad concerning the force, and the more bright and intelligent of them have been initiated into the mysteries of the Armstrongs and Sniders, after beholding which, and asking many shrewd and very practical questions, went away declaring themselves perfectly satisfied as to the genuineness of the Christianity of the Eng lish. Part of the advance brigade is now five miles beyond Antalo, which is reported to be no great city, but another Senaf6, so far as size and population are con. r:ern ed. The he a d quarters w i ng of the 33r d R eg i men t being beyond Antalo does not indicate any further ad vance for the present ; let us hope the move was made to secure for the regiment not only a defensible position, but a convenient and commodious camp as well. The remainder of the brigade—the Scinde Horse, part of the 3rd Bombay Cavalry, two companies 10th Native Infantry, a company 23rd Punjab Pioneers, 3rd and 4th companies Bombay Sappers, A 21 Royal Artillery, and two companies of Beloochees—must either be near Antalo or at work on the road. The health of the troops and followers continues excellent, and Of: . :•,ather is pleasant, though of course the thermometer rises; as we ad. vance southward." COUNTY COURT COMMITMENTS. —We understand that the much-vexed question, whether or no a county court judge has jurisdiction to commit a judgment-debtor, in spite of a composition deed registered subsequently to the county court judgment, has recently been brought before Mr. Justice Wiles in chambers. In the case of Pearce v. Foster (supra, p, 279), the judge of the I3irming. ham County Court held, in accordance with his decision in a former case, that he had jurisdiction to commit. Last week an application was made before the vacation judge in chambers, for a writ of prohibition against the county. court judge, and after hearing an argument on each side s Justice Wiles ordered the writ to issue,-,s49jort'' ircirAce. - ,~
