They so porfectly resemble 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.

He was strongly of opinion that the pro vision now made for the Established Church in Ireland ought to be allowed to remain in those parishes in Ireland where its endowments were not disproportioned to the wants of the resident Protestant population ; and he supported this argument on the ground that the endowments were being used for purposes in themselves good and excellent, and that no definite proposal was made to hand over the endowments which the Church of Ireland had now held for three hundred years to any one "else. It bad been said that the Churah in Ireland should be disestablished because it was the Church of the minority; but unless the Church of the majority was established in its stead there would be no sort of equality maintained. In the United Kingdom the Protestant feeling of the country, of course, made it impossible to establish the Churcl of the majority in Ireland, and the Roman Catholics themselves did not ask for it. The question in Ireland was simply one of confiscation ; it was not a question between com peting claims, it was' simply a question of taking away for taking away's sake, and he could not see any justice in that. The argument was that all religious denominations in Ireland should be on the same footing, and that it was not right to call upon one person to pay for the support of another person's religion, but this was not done in Ireland. All the revenues of the Church were de rived from good solid land, which had been in their possession for 300 years, and no one was asked to contribute a single farthing towards its support; and with regard to the argument of equality, it was impossible to forget that for generations the Church of Ireland had been led to look for its support from these endowments, and that it could not now start on fair terms with those denominations which had SO long existed on voluntary contributions. Both Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright were of opinion that the churches and the residences of the clergy should be left to the Church, and he maintained that the same principles would leave the Church in possession of endowments used for purposes not mischievous to the State. He would apply the same principle to the Maynooth grant, and, although the Roman Catholics had only been in possession of that for half a century, they had beea led to abandon many other schemes of education from its possession, and he would discoun tenance its withdrawal without some adequate com pensation. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) It was on that principle alone that he could consent to serve in the next Parliament. He did not like to allude to any considerations personal to himself, but he was sure that they would believe him when he said that in questions in which his conscience was in volved neither personal nor party motives would stand in the way of his adhesion to those principles. (Cheers.) Severalquestions were put to the learned gentle man ; and at the close he was loudly cheered. WEST INF lES AND MEXICO.

GENTLEMEN, — Upwards of seven years since you did me the honour to elect me ono of your Representatives, and for the third time I come forward to solicit a renewal of the kind support I then and have since received. I appeal to my votes and conduct in Parliament during this long period in proof of my having fulfilled the promises I then made. My best and most earnest attention has ever been, and shall continue to be, devoted to your local interests. I have endea voured, on , "keensions, to suppOrt'the princißle of , local, self goVernment, and to keep down the biirthen of locallazatio. I have given an undeviating support to every liberal and just measure for the promotion of Reform in the Law; for the im provement of the Education of 'the People; for the Exercise of due Economy in our Public Establishments; •for the Abolition of compulsory Churph Rates; and for the enactment of that mea sure of Representative Reform, the first effect of which is, I am happy to say, the great enlargenient of the electoral body of the Kingdom. Many important subjects must come before the next Parlia ment, and my conduct shall be animated by the same principles. The question of the Irish Church must at once occupy the serious attention of the New Parliament. I gave r and,shall con tinue to give, my cordial support to Mr. Gladstone on this great question, the settlement of which will, I firmly believe, remove a fruitful source of discontent in Ireland, and greatly tend to promote the true' interests of Protestantism throughout the United Kingdom. I shall carefully watch the estimates of every department of the Public Service, more especially that of the Admiralty, with the view of obtaining increased efficiency, combined with greater economy in the expenditure of the public money. I believe it is of the utmost importance still further to extend and improve the Educationof the People, and that in the interest of our manufacturers more attention should be riven to Technical Instruction; and I shall zealously support any measures that maybe likely to effect so desirable an object, I have the honour to be, GENTLEMEN, Your obedient Servant, HARVEY LEWIS. 21, Grosvenor-street, Aug. 18, 1888. SCHOOL OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE, &c. ADMIRALTY, Bth August, 1868. THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the AD MIRALTY HEREBY GIVE NOTICE that the arrangements for the ADMISSION of persons, not already in the Government service, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering as ADMIRALTY PUPILS, will, for the present year, be as follows : Candidates must not be less than 18 or more than 21 years of age, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuilding sr engineering establishments, or must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way , been so connected w.th shipbuilding or engineering opera tions as to become well-grounded in the elementary prin ciples and practioe thereof. The pupils will be selected by competitive examination, the subjects for which, and aumbors of marks assigned for each, aro as follows: Marks. Pure mathematics, including arithmetic, mensura tion, geometry (plain and descriptive), plane tri gonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus , 2,500 Applied mathematics, including mechanics and hydrostatics ••• ••• 1,000 Practical shipbuilding, including laying-off (for shipwright's candidates only) 2,500 Practical marine engineering (for engineer candi dates only) French Elements of physic and chymistry English grammar and composition Geography and History ... 2,500 5 "• 00 ••• 750 7 "• 50 750 No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting in the compe tition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who may be selected will be treated, while attached to the School, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils; they will rec3ive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at ls. 6d. per day for six days per week for first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day ; and in addition a subsist ence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the Scheel or in the dockyards. Seven months of each year—viz., from October till May —will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining five months to actual work and the acquirement of practi cal knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be undefstood that the Admiralty make no en gagements to employ these pupil s a ft e r the completion of their course of study; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty, not later than the Ist September. The candidates should also state whether they wish to bo examined as engineers or shipwrights. The examination will take place on the 28th September and three following days. By command of their Lordships, HENRY GORDON LENNOX. SIR ROUNDELL PALMER ON THE IRISH CHURCIL Sir Roundell Palmer addressed his constituents at Richmond on Friday night. Sir Roundell met with an enthusiastic reception, and was introduced to the meeting by the chair man (Mr. Leonard Cooke) as one of the greatest living lawyers. Sir Roundell, in the course of a speech which occupied nearly two hours in delivery, reviewed the course of legislation on the Reform question, stating that so long back as 1865 ,he pronounced in favour of household suffrage, on church rates, and legal reforms. I think those who have been newly admitted to the franchise may pardon me if, on an occasion like the present, when a man is inevitably compelled to speak for himself—a thing which to me is very dis tasteful—if on such an occasion I refer you, as evidence at all events that I was perfectly sincere in the support which I afterwards gave to the some what larger extension of the suffrage proposed by the present Government —if I refer you to an occa sion which occurred in the year 1867, when Mr. Bright, who on that occasion was the mark of every man's obloquy and scorn, as he is now of every man's praise—(hear, hear)—when Mr. Bright declared,„that he was in favour of a measure of household euffrage, that he thought that the right point to proceed to, and the right point at which to stop. For my own part, I thought that such a step might even at that time be taken with safety, and, holding that opinion, I should even then personally have preferred taking that step at once to leaving it to be taken at two diffe rent stages with the uncertainty of what might happen between, or under what circumstances the second step might have to be taken. You know, therefore, that lam at all events not one of the more modern converts to the doctrine of household suffrage. I was certainly not an advocate of preci pating the time of bringingthe matter forward until I saw it was practicable, yet that was the opinion I had formed. With the exception of Mr. Bright, I believe I was the first person to give utterance to that opinion in Parliament. The essence of Go vernment is that those that govern shall make the laws, and those for whom the laws are made enjoy in this case the inestimable value of living in a land of liberty. We have more to do in the government of ourselves. That is a blessing England enjoys above all other countries in the world, and I wish to see it increasedmore and more—those things which are wrong in our institutions changed, and those things which are good made better. I believe there can be no life without progress, and without growth in societies or states, but most as suredly I trust to the evidence of progress under former reforms, and to the present the evidence of the conduct and the general morality of the people is satisfying me that they have no evil designs ; that we may express with our hearts the sentiment for which Mr. Gladstone was for a time vilified and ridiculed, that they are fellow creatures, our flesh and blood, having the same interest with ourselves, and in the sight of God as good as any one of our selves. (Cheers and slight disturbance.) Coming to the Irish Church question, the learned gentleman said he was anxious at the outset to make one cor rection regarding a matter in which Mr. Gladstone had frequently been misrepresented. It had been said that nothing would have been heard of the Irish Church had not the Tories been in power, and had not Mr. Gladstone wanted office. To his certain knowledge that was not the truth. In the year 1863, at a time when no one was bring ing forward the question, or seemed particularly likely to do so, Mr. Gladstone told him privately that he had made up his mind on the Irish Church subject, and that he did not know how long he could be able to keep himself from giving expression to his mind. It certainly took him by surprise at the time, but Mr. Gladstone's mind being made up so long ago, it would be the most extravagant absurdity and injustice in the world to say that when he saw a favourable tine for giving prac tical expression to the opinion he entertained he was not right in taking advantage of that opportunity. He believed from the bottom of his heart that Mr. Gladstone was actuated by no other feeling than that of an honest and sincere desire to promote the best objects of the country. (Applause.) With regard to his own views on the subject, he shared, of course, in the common wish to reconcile difficulties in Ireland, and to restore peace, contentment, and harmony to all parts of the United Kingdom. But he must be satisfied the remedies proposed for effecting this should be, in the first place, intelligible ; in the second place just; in the third place likely to answer their purpose ; and, in the fourth place, safe for the general inte rests of the country. (Applause.) After vindi cating his claim to be considered an uncompro mising supporter upon all Occasions of religious liberty and of political equality, he proceeded to apply the principles he had laid down to the Irish Church question. The arguments in the way of disendowment based upon the Coronation Oath and the Act of Union, and upon the supremacy of the Crown, he dismissed as not for one moment to be entertained by sensible men. Nor did he agree with those who argued that it was the abstract duty of the State to have an Established Church:everywhere. Establish ments must be considered on their merits, and not on any question of abstract rights. (Applause.) He distinguished altogether, however, between the political establishment of religion and the rights of property, which are expressed by the term endow ment ; but for the restoring peace, contentment, and harmony in Ireland, he should not feel himself bound in principle to object to the appropriation of any surplus revenues now enjoyed by the Irish Church in places where they were disproportioned to the wants of the Protestant population to purposes of general public utility. That ap peared to him an extremely difficult thing, for disendowment assumed that the revenues were not wanted for the purposes for which they were intended ; that they did not practically do the good which they were meant to do in those places. No doubt many places in Ireland were in this condition, and it seetnei to be pretty gene rally believed that the Irish Church Commission would recommend Parliament to take the revenues from those places and give them to the Protestants of the Eitablished Churches in other parts of lre- PROGRAMME OF CANTERBURY RACES.

NORWICH, SATURDAY. The Drill Hall was well filled again last night to hear Mr. Fergusson's lecture "On the archaeology of early Bhuddhist monuments." There was a good deal of joking goineon at the persistency with which visitors, having a vivid recollection of the scene enacted after the soiree on Thursday evening, refused, almost without an exception, to be cajoled into relinquishing their hats and coats into the custody of the attendants of the cloak-room. Nervous men only clutched them tighter and pressed on at an accele. rated pace, as the polite officials sought to relieve them of their garments. In reference to what will henceforth be known as " the battle of the wise men's hats," an anec dote has been posted up in the reception-room to the effect that when Sir William Hamilton had vainly endeavoured by entreaty and by active personal search to recover the covering• of his:capacious brain, he quietly walked away from St. Andrew's Hail into the dark and dismal night, simply remarking, " I'm confident I had a hat," which remark some one has written at the foot of the paper, and proves that he has a heart as well as a head. Happy in the conviction that we had got our head-gear with us, we settled ourselves down at half-past eight to listen to what Mr. Fergusson had to tell us of the strange things he had found in India, which he did in a way rendering what looked suspiciously like a dry subject one of genuine interest. The duty of introducing the lecturer devolved on Dr. Hooker, and the president discharged the task very gracefully, describing him, in the words of the late Sir Francis Palgrave, as the first man who had raised architecture to the dignity of a science. Mr. Fergusson then proceeded to give a brief sketch of the rise of Buddhism, which, he said, was made the State religion by King Asoka 300 years after the death of Buddha. At the present time there was not a single adherent of the religion in the land of its birth. It was a singular fact that in connection with this faith there was not on record a solitary instance of persecution on the part •of its followers. Architectural history in India, it was pointed out, commenced at the time of Asoka. Not a vestige was found before that period. The Buddhists had three classes of architecture monasteries, church caves and tumuli, the latter used as relict shrines of saints, and to mark the spots where Buddha had preached or performed a miracle. The next point noticed by Mr. Fergusson was the admixture of tree and serpent worship with the Buddhist fail, proved by a number of stones lately discovered, hearing date long before the Christian era ; and then the lecturer argued, and very forcibly, too, that architecture was a better interpreter of races than was language itself, and concluded with the somewhat bold opinion that from the erection of the Pyramids to the building of St. Peter's, at Rome, there was not a single structure that did not convey a better idea of the character, peculiarities, and feelings of a race than any book that ever was written. The lecture was most fully appreciated, and the complimentary things said of it by Colonel Sir Arthur Farre and Sir James Colville, two old Indians, were cheered to the very echo. To-day we are doing little in the sections, most of WI being more inclined to inspect the manufactories of the city and the beauties of the neighbourhood. ECONOMIC SCIENCE AND STATISTICS. In this section Mr. CORBANCE, M.P., read a paper " On the condition of the labouring classes." The subject was one, he said, upon which philanthropists and states• men had been constantly at work, but without any great effect. The truth was, we knew very little at present of the labouring class. To know them in the present we must know their past, and without this we legislated and reasoned in the dark. But it was difficult to obtain accurate information as to the past. It was even more doubtful whether towards the close of the tenth century the population of the United Kingdom amounted to two millions or five. Two circumstances, at widely different times, seemed to have exercised a powerful influence over the working class. One was the Black Death of the 14th century, by almost depopulating which a large portion of Europe raised the value of labour to a hitherto unheard-of extent, and emancipated it from the merely servile character of the past to some extent. Another such epoch was marked by the Re• formation and the suppression of the monasteries, which were before that time the almoners of the poorer classes. The paper proceeded to point out that the steam engine and applied sciences did more to change the servile condition of the people than the Reformation or the Black Death. The one great feature of the nineteenth century, it urged, was the creation of a large wage. paid class. During this time the old poor law remained in force, and just in proportion as the wonderful expan sion of industrial power was manifested on the ono hand, so did the evil of the system and the pauperism it fostered increase, and the poor rates became quadrupled in amount, and this notwithstanding a large migration from the agricultural to the manufacturing districts. The paper then referred to the objects of friendly societies, and it was shewn that in very many instances these societies were practically insolvent. Co-operative societies were also described, the opinion expressed on them being, on the whole, favourable. Building societies were also noticed with approval. The principle of co-operation it W:l7 stated had been tried in connection with agriculture with a fair amount of success, but it would never supersede scientific agriculture. Referring next to the subject of trades unions, Mr. Corrauce said he considered the men belonging to these unions to be bad economists, and reckless of all except personal gain. The paper concluded with suggestions to use the machinery of the poor laws for the management of friendly societies, and to pass laws based upon some higher principle than mere self interest could prescribe.

GEOLOGY. In this section Mr. Charles Moore, F.G.S., read a paper " On the fossil contents of mineral veins in the carboniferous limestone." His attention, he said, had been drawn to the subject from the fact that the mineral veins in many instances contained organic remains, by a study of which it was not only possible to arrive at the age of the veins in their several districts, but also to some extent the phy sical conditions associated with them at the time they received their contents. The paper then proceeded to give the results of the author's examination of 134 different samples obtained from the mines of Cumberland and Yorkshire. Of these 134 specimens organic remains had been found more or less abundantly in eighty, a fact suffi cient to shew that, as a general rule, they might be found in almost every vein, if a careful examination were made. Amongst the organic remains deep interest would attach to the presence of valvata, and other fresh-water shells, often in great abundance, and in districts wide asunder, shewing most conclusively a connection between North of England mines and lodes of fresh water which must have found their way into the veins by some neighbouring source. Of vertebrata he had obtained teeth and scales of Petalodus Ctenoptychns. Foraminefera were generally very rare, while entomostiaca of several species were with one exception the most constant organisms. The will of Mr. J. Stirling Coyne, dramatic author, has been proved under 25,000 personalty. NEW ACT ON PETROLEUM. —Among the recent Acts was one as to the keeping and storage of petroleum. After February it is not to be kept within fifty yards of a dwelling, or to be sold for illumination. The inspectors of weights and measures are empowered to test petroleum. A LIFE SAVED. —We are authorised to state that Lieutenant E. S. Richards, R N., who was reported as having been accidentally drowned while bathing at Great Yarmouth on the Ist August, is still alive, having been picked up by a vessel at sea. —Times. EGGS HATCHED IN SAND.—An inhabitant of Berlin lately, during the great heat, experimented on the hatching of hens' eggs in sand. On the 22nd July he placed six in a cigar-box filled with that material, and exposed the case to the sun on that and the following days. The first chick broke the shell on the 9th August, the the second on the 10th, the third and fourth on the 11th, and the other two on the following day. They are all going on well, being fed on boiled eggs cut up small with millet. The average period of hatching chickens is twenty-one days; in the present case the first produced was nineteen. TERRIFIC STORM.—A terrific storm, accompanied by hail and torrents of rain, broke over Champagne a few nights back. At Ervy more than fifty chimneys were blown down, and a tannery totally destroyed. At Saint- Phal several cottages were set on fire by the lightning, and the same at Fauchassis and Laines-aux-Bois. At Saint-Thibault three dwellings were burnt to the ground. At Cormort a stable was lifted from the ground by the wind and destroyed, five horses and six cows being killed, and a farm-labourer buried under the ruins and killed. At the chateau of Saint-Aventin about 3,000 trees were up rooted, and 1,000 at Clery. In all directions the harvest has suffered severely. MR. DUCANE.--TllO people of Essex do not intend to allow Mr. Ducane to leave for the governor. ship of Tasmania without expressing - , in some tangible form, their appreciation of his many and varied public ser vices during the eleven years he has represented the northern division of their county in Parliament. A meeting of his friends was held on Saturday, at the Three Cups Hotel, Colchester, "to make arrangements for presenting him with some mark of respect on his leaving the country ;" and, although nothing definite was decided on, the greater portion of those present were decidedly in favour of its taking the form of a portrait. Mr. Ducane has been invited by his friends and supporters to a farewell dinner at the Corn Exchange, Colchester, on Tuesday, when it is expected that upwards of 500 of the leading gentry of the county, indoing several members of Parliament L will kUicir.9Pt ~_ _ I - ~F~ . ~- JW
