They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori nals 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 articulatio n and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti cation. 52, Fleet-street. At home from 10 till 5. rIEALTH RESTORED WITHOUT MEDICINE OR EXPENSE.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATVEDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 29, 1868. AN AMEttICANREVIEW ON 711 E BRITISH ARMY. The Round Table has written an article on the British army—a subject, it asserts to be not without interest for the American people. If English news papers blunder egregiously about the British army, it is not likely that in an article on this subject an American paper will be free from errors. The Round Table is more accurate than m ist British journals in its comments, yet it is not wholly correct. Indeed, it is very unjust to the service in India. It truly remarks that " unfortunately for the British army the people at one time were especially jealous of its prominence —especially watchful of its in crease. But for this jealousy the Duke of Welling ton would have so arranged the barracks of Great Britain and Ireland that every soldier would have had long ere now not a palace for a dwelling place certainly, but a home truly comfortable in comparison with the den in which he is now too often quartered. To keep the army as much as possible oat of sight of the people, the policy of the Iron Duke was to scatter regiments in twos and threes over Great Britain, so that in scarcely a barrack could be counted at one time more than 2,000 men." Long before the Iron Duke died, with the exception of the Guards, scarcely an infantry regiment was to be found in the island. There was a great artillery station at Woolwich, a station for marines and depot for Indian regiments at Chatham, a garrison compris ing a few battalions at Portsmouth;' and *except an isolated regiment here and there, not a uniform was to be seen in England and Scotland. The regiments oil home service were for the most part massed in Ireland, where they were liked both for the conviviality they introduced and the money they circulated. But in England the hereditary dislike of armies remained in full strength, and the militia continued to be, as it now is, the only constitutional force. The war in the Crimea changed public feel ing ; and the necessity for a well-organized military body being generally recognized, there arose such camps as Aldershott, Shorncliffe, and the Curragh. It is no wonder that English newspapers should have been ignorant of a service whose members were scarcely ever seenby the people and quartered in gar risons scattered over the world. To understand the British army, it is necessary to know something of Canada and South Africa, of the West Indies and China, and, above all, of India. Lately, the British soldier has become a more familiar animal to the English citizen, but in spite of the penny papers, to which the Round 7 able alludes as disseminating truthful information about India, it is clear that the Bound Table itself knows little about soldiering in the East. "The farm labourer," it says, "knows at last that glory in India means ten years' service where the thermometer in the shade is at 120 degs. ; that almost all the barracks in which he may be stationed are abominably constructed, and situated in the unhealthiest part of unhealthy dis tricts ; that discipline abroad is even more severe than that at home ; that the Articles of War, when construed by courts-martial at a distance of 10,000 miles from London, will be found to be against him in every time of trouble. • lie knows, too, that many in India are driven to drink in order to blunt the sense' that steals upon them of their being utterly forsaken and ruined for life. Barracks, loathsome from the first through abounding discomfort, be come more and more so as the tedious months come and go. Amusements, there are none. Ordinary comfort, it is rarely known in India. The soldier knows that the horses on the farm he left are better housed than he himself is abroad." If service in India were what the Round Table represents it to be the two years it considers ought to he made the limit, would indeed be sufficient for an abode " in wretch edly built barracks, so horribly gloomy and lone some, that the soldier rushes into dissipation the moment he is outside the gates." We dare say our contemporary will be surprised when we state that with the exception of the forts at Calcutta and Madras, in each of which there is but a single Bri tish regiment—there are no gates to Indian bar racks. The reader, whose philanthropic imagina tion was horrified by the loathsome picture conjured up in the Round Table, would be amazed if he stood in Meerut, or Umballa, Lahore, or Kurrachee, Poonah, or Bangalore, to see the ranges of magni ficent buildings stretching away for miles, provided for the soldiers, all facing the open country. Gene rally these barracks stand in eschelon with a vast cleared space in front, where the men may be se en stripped to their shirts, engaged at cricket, foot-ball, pony races, quoits, or jerking a heavy leaden ball, a sport singularly fascinating to the British soldier. Mixed with the men at cricket, so as to be indistinguishable from them, are sure to be several officer's, every company having its own club, in which the greatest effort is made to attain pre-eminence. Those who enter the buildings, after :passing a wide verandah, see a suite of rooms, in dimensions far surpassing any in Europe, all supplied in the hot weather with tattier and punkahs. Generally each company has its separate building, each squad its apart ment, and each sergeant his room. Behind these ranges, at some little distance, are the cook houses, where the work is performed by natives, under the superintendence of orderlies detached for the day, and the meals are brought in by the ser vants attached to each company. In the same line are numerous lavatories, and often with these is connected a swimming bath, under cover, built of a cement called chunam, which bears a polish like marble. Still further to the rear are skittle-alleys, gymnasiums, racket, and fives courts. Added to these is an extensive soldier's garden, where most liberal :prizes are awarded by the Government for excellence in the cultivation of whatever the indivi duals taste may be, and where those who like the work can raise a plentiful supply of flowers and vegetables. Among the buildings are certain to be a theatre and a library and coffee-room. Few arts flourish more in India than the drama. The British soldier delights in tragedy. To strut upon the stage as Captain Kidd, loaded with pistols and daggers, to discharge the former in every direction, and to declaim in a style that soars into extrava gant rant, charms his vanity, and enables his comrades to pronounce him the greatest of living actors. A grenadier in his attempt to glide gracefully on the stage as a princess of overpower ing beauty, and make tender speeches in a voice re dolent of whiskers, moustache, and tobacco, may fur nish a caricature, but is not the less amusing on that account. Burlesque is often admirably acted ; and as every battalion has a good band, music adds its charms, and music of a high order, to the entertain ment. In the reading and coffee rooms, chess and backgammon are played, and not unfrequently a billiard-table is there to be found. The thermometer in the shade at 120 degrees is a thing unknown, at these, the great stations of the British army in India. Our contemporary is not aware that the mass of the battalions are quartered to the north-west of Meerut, which gradually in win ter becomes colder and colder till Peshawilr is reached, opposite which is the fatal Kyber Pass, where an Indian army once perished from cold. It is the custom in the winter months to gather on the spot the 'supply of ice required for the summer. This is done by placing water in innumerable shal low earthen saucers, where it freezes during the night, and is packed in the ice-house at dawn. From Lucknow to the end of the great military line, the glittering snows of the Ilimmalayeh forms a part of the landscape of almost every station. Out of each regiment at the commencement of the hot season a number is selected of those who have suffered from the heat to be sent to depots formed on the peaks of these mountains. The Indian Govern ment has gone to enormous expense in constructing roads and building barracks at Darjeeling, Dalhousie, Landour, Kussowlie, and Murree, besides regular barracks for whole regiments at Dugshai, Kussow lie, and Subathoo.

Seriously, I have gone through wonderful events since we last saw one another ; but I think you know the worst details from one source or another. England has certainly done everything to conciliate our royal friend. We now wait quietly until the troops come to liberate us. I do not doubt the result, provided their movements are rapid. Neither the King nor his people have ever had real dangers to contend with, and I have no doubt that only a small number of our people will be sufli °lent to give them an idea of our power, if they advance quickly into the heart of the country. Many of these things are in our favour—for, instance, the situation of Magdala. Certainly there is some danger of our 'being killed by the soldiers here in a panic ; but then they have no place of refuge, since they are surrounded by enemies who would neither permit them to join the King nor allow them to become rebels on our account. We calculate that, either for good or evil, matters will be decided here by the middle of January; and, after all, two months are not long to wait after four years in chains. I hear that the Abyisinian affair is much blamed in England, and, so far as I can judge, evil-minded persons, either here or in Egypt, have sought to cast the blame upon me. Nothing can be more untrue. I came with the per mission of King Theodore, for the second time, to Abyssinia ; and although I carefully sought to abstain from all cause of quarrel with him, since only three months previously he had offended European opinion by bastinadoing the Rev. Dr. Sterne, yet I was taken from a sick bed and thrown into chains for writing him a most respectful letter, in which I requested him to allow me to return to my post in accordance with my orders. Nevertheless, I think that, in spite of all, the truth has come out, although I myself have not written much. Have you read the kind letter of the Duke of Sitge....-__=- Tft e: Coburg, which he wrote on my account to King Theodore? It is impossible to thank him sufficiently for it. Ho will be glad to hear that poor Schiller and his companions have had their wrist-shackles removed. The ICing makes them work for Lim, although in leg-chains. With my most respectful compliments to the Duke, the Duchess, and the Prance of Leiningen, I am, &c., D. CAMERON." are the stations of Ootacamund and Jugpartulla, on the Neilgherries, and in Bombay, Marbulesba,war • and Mount Aboo. In the canteens, even at the peaks of these hills, Bass or Allsopp's beer is sup plied to the troops, the main portion of the expense being borne by Government. When a regiment re tgrns to England, the nien are generally allowed to volunteer to remain in other battalions, and large numbers avail themselves of this privi lege in spite of the strong inducnneat after a few years' service always contained in the word home. Those who know the efforts of the British Government in India to benefit the soldier could not be guilty of the injustice of describing the work in the words of the Round Table. We do not hesitate to state that in no other country on earth is there anything like the degree of govern mental solicitude for the welfare of the employed, as is bestowed on the English army in India. They inhabit the finest barracks ever constructed ; they are fed, clothed, nursed in hospital, and amused as no other troops can even hope for, and provision is made for the care and instruction of their children. Such stations as Calcutta and Bombay cannot be taken as samples of Indian cantonments, being used merely as points of arrival and departure. The Round Table is more just in its description of the army in England. Regiments arriving from abroad are, as a rule, ordered to Plymouth, Portsmouth, or Dover, where they stay a year before they proceed to Aldershott. Although - the following assertion is too sweeping, it is not without a basis of truth : " The commander-in-chief is evidently afraid of making the army too comfortable. In considering the case of the private soldier, the Duke regards justice as a privilege, ordinary comfort as an em barrassing luxury, and the slightest relaxation as a stride on the road to revolution." No doubt great concessions in the way of liberty could with advan tage be made to the soldier. The strict roll-calls for breakfast and dinner, and at tattoo, might well be dispensed with. The ridiculous regulation that a man found a mile away from his barrack might be arrested as a deserter, although obsolete, is a proof of the absurd principles on which the regulations were formed. The Round Table con siders the severe plainness of the dress as a chief difficulty in the way of recruiting. "Formerly the style of dress displayed the figure of the soldier to advantage, but the cloth was bad. Now the cloth is better in quality, but the style of dress is such as to make handsome men look awkward and clumsy, and men of ordinary appearance seem very ordinary indeed." We do not agree in this with the Round Table, as we think the present style a vast improve ment on that of olden days. .Comfort and con venience have mainly been sought in the alterations ; the clothes are better cut, the cloth is superior in quality, though still bad, and we consider that the appearance is far from what the Round Table calls it, " hideous ;" and it certainly is not " repulsive " or " uncomfortable."—Anglo-American Times. THE TRIAL OF CAP7AIN NAGLE. The most remarkable chapter in the strange eventfn history of the Fenian prosecutions has been opened at the Sligo Assizes. It reveals incidents of romantic interest, and suggests questions of considerable nicety and con siderations of great importance. The case of Captain Nagle, the chief prisoner, bristles with legal and constitu tional points, the discussion of which will probably ex tend far beyond the precincts of the Court-house. They have taxed to the utmost the learning and ability of the bar engaged for the Cm vvn under the leadership of the Solicitor-General, who, in the absence of the Attorney- General, will conduct the proceedings. The extent of the responsihility which has been cast upon him may be inferred from the able charge of Mr. Justice Fitzgerald to the grand jury, in which he explained the novel and difficult nature of the questions which were likely to arise in the course of the trials. Ample precautions have been taken by the authorities to prevent any disturbance. The local force has been reinforced by 150 additional constables, two companies of the 72nd Highlanders, and a, troop of the Ist Dragoon Guards. No popular excitement or sympathy with the prisoners has been manifested. Mr. G. F. Train, however, in fulfilment of his promise, has ar rived on the scene, and'his presence is not calculated to ensure the preservation of tranquillity and order. Judges Fitzgerald and Keogh arrived from Carrick-on-Shannon at ten o'clock a.m., and were received by the High Sheriff, who conducted them to their lodgings under a strong escort of mounted constabulary and dragoons. A body of High landers was posted near the Court-house. At twelve o'clock Mr. Justice Fitzgerald opened the commission and charged the grand jury. His lordship observed that the statistical returns of crime since the last assizes presented a feature which was honourable to the county. There were but five cases for trial, which consisted alto. gether of common assaults and petty larcenies. He thought great credit was due to the resident gentry of the country, who by their example and administration of the law had contributed to produce that happy state of things. In addition to the ordinary business, however, there were eight persons in custody against whom bills would be sent up, charging them, under the Treason- Felony Act of the 11th of Victoria, cap 9, sec. 3, with compassing to depose the Queen from her realm of Ireland, and set up an Irish Republic. His lordship explained that the crime consisted . in the intention, which should be evidenced by overt acts. He reminded them of the narrative of the Jacknell expedition, observing that if the real truth had not been kept from them, persons of education and intelligence, such as some of the prisoners were repre sented to be, would never have engaged in such an exhi bition of folly. About the 26th of May the vessel arrived in Sligo Bay, where certain proceedings occurred near the coast which would be matters of evidence. One or two of the so-called officers put in there, a couple of wounded men were landed, and communications were held with Fenian emissaries respecting an alleged design of surprising the town and hoisting the flag of the Irish Republic. That design, however, was abandoned, and the vessel, after cruising about for some time, until the provisions began to fail and the persons on board to suffer from the voyage, at length touched at Helwick Head, on the coast of Waterford, were twenty-five or twenty-six of them landed, and were arrested by the police. Eight of them were to be tried at the present assizes. One of them, named Nagle, was an alien, and, consequently, owed no alle giance to the Queen or obedience to the laws of this realm until he came within the limits of the Queen's dominions. 'When he came within this realm, however, a local allegiance was due from him, and he was answer. able for his acts until he withdrew from the kingdom. The learned judge explained that the Queen's dominion extended over all arms of the sea, estuaries, and Lays within headlands, ports, or harbours, and also into the high sea a•ljoiniug the shores as far as a cannon-shot would reach, which is generally calculated as a marine league. The law of the United States was similar. If ; therefore, any acts of the prisoner on the high seas should b offered in cvi lence, they would have to inquire whether the Jacknell was then within the headlands of any bay or estuary, or within three miles of the shore ; and ho directed them to deal with such acts as if committed on the adjoining shore. bills A t w t h e r e e co f o n u e l ! d u s a i o g n a ns of t the Nagle alearnedndejiugdhgte'os eehrsar with treason-felony. M r . H eron app li e d f or a writ of others certiorari to remove Nagle's trial to the Queen's Bench, on the ground that six Americans could not be found for a jury in Sligo. Judge Fitzgerald refused, and said the prisoner was entitled to a mixed jury, but the alien portion might be of any'country. Nagle was then arraigned. Mr. Heron asked that the indictment should be quashed, on the ground that six of the grand jurors were not resident in the county. The court decided against the objection, and the trial proceeded. Mr. Train was in court and offered to serve on the jury. The court repelled the inter ference of Mr. O'Malley Irwin, through whom the offer was made Mn. BARON CHANNELL.—It is generally under. stood, though the learned baron's health has considerably improved, he will not have sufficiently recovered to be able t o go the North Wales circuit, and that the Right Hon. the Recorder of London will go in his stead. TEE IRISH DEBATE. —The motion of Mr. maguire may now be considered as settled, and happily without any interference with Government arrangements. Captain Trevelyan and Mr. Kinnaird, who had motions on the paper for Tuesday, March 10, have with much con sideration withdrawn their notices, and that of the hon. member for Cork thus stands first on the paper for that day. AMALGAMATION OF PUBLIC COMPANIES. —ViCO- , Chancellor Wood gave judgment on Friday morning in the case of Clinch v. The Financial Corporation. The plaintiff had filed a bill to impeach an arrangement between • the Financial Corporation and the Oriental Bank, by which the former company was amal gamated with the latter company on these terms—the assets of the Financial Corporation were to be handed over to the Oriental Bank, who in return were to give one of their own shares for every three in the Financial Cor poration, provided that further was paid on each of the financial shares.—The Vice• Chancellor said the amalga mation could rot be supported either by the articles of association of the Financial Corporation or the Corn. parries Act. It was, in fact, a scheme by which the Oriental Bank sought to raise £150,000 addi tional capital. Both these companies were now being wound up. The Oriental Bank were entitled to stand as creditors for any amount, with interest, which they had advanced in payment of the debts of the Financial Corporation, and without prejudice to any question as be tween the shareholders of the Financial Corporation who had been registered as shareholders in the Oriential Bank, and the creditors thereof, such shareholders were entitled to have their ibM.es in the Financial Corporation restored to them on their delivering up the dertificates of their flares iu the Oriental Dank, MIN en n. m :- >use," and cur- point I. de- coin )efore opted pro- Ivania !cl by I some e ex- ion, I %t the asurer he as- Df the cona blush great dug to ificed.

SATISFACTORY LETTER. 5, Wood-street, Millbank, Westminster, October 5, 1867. Sir,—Some months back I had an attack of Bronchitis, which left at times a tickling in my Throat, with other unpleasant feelings. I was advisod to try the BALSAM OF ANISEED; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it is most comforting in allaying irritation, andgiving strength to the voice. You are at liberty to make use of this as you think pro per, and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as I have done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser vant, SAMUEL DEAR, Dean's Verger, Westminster Abbey. To Mr. Powell. Ask for POWELL'S BALSAM of ANISEED. AMERICAN ART IN ROME. An American correspondent of the .Naples and Florence Observei-, writing on the studios at Rome, remarks—" Sometimes sculpture furnishes the text that inspires the subjects, as in the case of Mr. Mozier, 'who is now modelling in clay a statue of Rizpah. It alreddy indicates, though not yet com pleted, the thoughtfulness and skill demanded in the development of such a semi-ideal work. It represents the Hebrew woman during the weary night-watch upon the hill where her sons lie slain. She is seated upon a rock over which her sack cloth has been thrown, and her torch is held be hind her head whilst she peers far out into the darkness. The face wears an earnest, anxious, pained expression that recalls at once all the Bible story and the reason for her sorrowful and sleepless vigil. The subject is certainly, in this city of my thological marbles, not only original, but one that has hitherto been untried. As you probably do not read your Bible as often as you should, I will give the verses from which Mr. Mozier took his idea-2d Sam. chap xxi., 8,9, 10 verses. Bu chanan Read, the artist bard, is here this winter, and intends, I believe, to make Rome his residence for several years to come. His studio is a most at tractive place to all xsthetically inclined; for he paints, as he writes, with true poetic sentiment and grace. Hawthorn in his Marble Faun' or ' Trans formation'—that being the transformation the title has undergone in the hand of Tauchnitz —calls him the Poet-painter, whose song has the vividness of picture and whose canvass is peopled with angels, fairies, and water-sprites, down to the eternal life, because he saw them face to face in his poetic mood. This work by our New-England Hawthorne is in great demand by the way not only with the Ameri cans, but amongst the English, for the facilities it affords as a book illustration. At Spithover's they keep all the photographs of the localities, pictures and statuary, therein described, and the prepared paper on which to paste them, so that it has become a favourite amusement with the ladies here to buy them, place them properly, and have the volumes re bound in vellum or other wise according to taste. The Tauchnitz would be the best edition to select for such a purpose were it not for the numerous misprints. If it could be obtained here, that published by J. J. Field and Co., of Boston, would be the finest in every respect. Have you ever read the story ? If not you should do so. It is even more entertaining taken in connection with Rome and Roman life than Bulwer's Last Days of Pompeii,' taken in connection with that ancient and ill-fated city. Amongst other calls we made one upon Miss Foley, in whose studio we met her friend and co-worker, Miss H., an Eng lish girl. Indeed, many of Miss Foley's warmest friends are amongst your countrymen and women. But her American admirers will not give her up, though she continue to visit England and never re crosses the Atlantic. She is too genial a spirit to lose, too true an artist. We found her busily at work, but she welcomed us warmly ; one of us as an old friend, the other as a new, and bade us sit down without any fear of disturbing her. The group that had engaged her attention as we entered be came suddenly invisible, but so long as there were such a number of other objects of interest to attract our attention we did not ask her to lift the veil that concealed it. We turned our eyes instead to a fine portrait of one of the most eminent American statesmen, so striking a likeness, though merely a marble profile, that we recogniied it before she spoke the name."—Anylo-American Times.
