HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without B Prings, wires, or ligatures.

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. RUPTURES.—BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

Difficulties were, however, raised, and as a tem porary measure, Mr. Blackburne, the Lord Jin Mice of Appeal, and a man in the 85th. year of his a, l'e) was made Lord Chancellor, his seat in the Court .rif Appeal having been taken by Sir Joseph Napier. Strong objections were, however, made against the appointment of this right honourable gentleman, in consequence of his having suffered from deafness, and in the result Sir Joseph. resigned and was suc ceeded by Mr. Brewster. At .the same time, the Right Hon. Thomas Ldroy, who was then 90 years of age, retired from the post of Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, and Mr. IVhiteside presided in his stead. Following closely on this promotion, Mr. Cusack Smith, the Master of the Rolls, died sud denly, and the office was filled by Mr. Walsh, who had had but a few weeks' experience of either the House of Commons or the duties of Attorney- General. Further into the autumn, Mr. Justice Hayes retired from public life, and the Puizne judgeship thus left vacant in the Court of Queen's Bench was given to Mr. John. George, one of the Members of the county of Wexford. In the beginning of last year a Bankruptcy Court judgeship was secured by Mr. S. B. Miller, the representative of the borough of Armagh. Two months afterwards the health of Lord Chancel lor Blackburne gave way under the fatigues of office consequent on the Fenian rising, and he resigned. The Seal was taken by Mr. Brewster, who was succeeded as Lord Justice of __Appeal by Mr. Justice Christian. This left a vacancy in the Court of Common Pleas, which was filled by the appointment of Mr. Michael Morris, then At torney-General. His successor in that post, Mr. Chatterton, was in August last gazetted as Vice- Chancellor of Ireland, under an Act of Parliament passed in the course of last session creating that office. The appointments in Scotland have been more important than numerous. The two highest judicial positions in that kingdom have had their occupants changed within a year and a half. When the Right Hon. Duncan M'lsTeill was created a peer by the title of Lord Colonsay, his successor as President of the Court of Session was the Right Hon. Johnlnglis, appointed Lord Justice Clerk in 1858. The Lord Justiceship was given to Mr. George Patton, then Lord Advo cate. Briefly summarized, the legal patronage of Lord Derby's third Government is represented by the following nominations :—ln England—three times to the office of Lord Justice of Appeal in Chancery, and once to the posts of Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Vice-Chancellor, Puisne judgeship in the Queen's Bench, and Judge of the Admiralty Court. In Ire land—Twice to the office of Lord Chancellor, three times to that of Lord Justice of Appeal, and once to that of Master of the Rolls, of Chief Jus tice, of Vice-Chancellor, and of Judges in the Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, and Bankruptcy Court. In Scotland—once to the post of Lord Justice-General, and once to that of Lord Justice Clerk. The offices of Attorney and Solicitor-Ge neral for England and Ireland and of Lord Advo • cate and. Solicitor-General for Scotland have been filled and refilled nineteen times. Thirteen of Lord Derby's Parliamentary supporters have been re warded with seats on the bench, and there is a chance of the fourteenth now taking the vacant place in the Court of Queen's Bench. The for tunate thirteen are W. Bovill, Sir Hugh Cairns, Sir F. Kelly, Sir R. Malins, Sir John Rolt, Sir C. Selwyn, and Messrs. Chatterton, George Miller, Morris, Patton, Walsh, and Whiteside. The only instance in which professional standing has been recognised as being superior to party fidelity was in the case of Sir Robert Phillimore. RAILWAY AND OTRER COMPANIES. SOUTH YORKSHIRE. The report of the directors states that the expen diture on capital account during the half-year had been £92,511, including £.17,496 for new plant re quired by the opening of the extensions of the com pany. The gross receipts from traffic and rents from the railways and navigations for the half-year had been £125,715 ; and the sum receivable from the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Rail way Company as rent to the company was £70,581. The statement for the year 1867 showed the gross traffic to be for the half-year ending the 30th of June, £111,208, and ending the 31st December, £125,715-- making the total for 1867, £236,923, which after deducting 38 per cent., or £90,030, left £146,893 hypothecated to the company. The amount receivable as rent from the Manchester Company for 1867 was £141,623, showing that the guarantee fund was £5,270 above the amount re quired. After deduction, however, of the working expenses at the agreed on rate of 42 per cent. (£99,508), there remained a net profit for 1867 of £137,415,50 that the net profits were less by £4,208 than the amount required for the interest and divi dend, and therefore there were as yet no additional profits divisible. The sum of £3,441 was charged against capital for interest on the cost of works in course of construction. The total expenditure on capital account to the 31st of December last amounted to £3,299,771. 'OVER 20e. Per ream. e. cl.

THE LEGAL APPOINTMENTS OF THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT. The death of Mr. justice -Shee, and the conse quent vacancy on th e Judicial Bench, have attracted attention to the extraordinary amount of legal patronage which has fallen to the disposal of Lord Derby's third Government. It is without any parallel in the history of modern Administrations, and forcibly contrasts with that which fell to the lot of Conservative lawyers - in 1852 and 1858. During the existence of the present Premier's first Ministry only one important legal appointment wa s made, and that was th e e l evat i on o f Si r J o h n Stuart to the Bench as Vice-C'hancellor. In 1858 a Com mon-Law judgeship fell in, through the retirement of Sir John Taylor Coleridge from his seat in the Court of Queen's Bench. The post was given to Sir Hugh Hill, who, however, retired three years afterwards, and was succeeded by the present Mr. Justice Mellor. The patronage of the third Derby Government has amply compensated for the scar city of judicial prizes which characterised the first and the second. Within a fortnight after the Tories reappeared at the Treasury Benches in July, 1866, Sir F. Pollock, then 83 years of age, resigned his post aftereqwuaser,sir Fitzroy h avi n Kelly,held Solicitor an d Attorney el and Lord Derby.

Knight-Bruce called the then member for Belfast from the House of Commons to the Equity bench as Lord Justice of Appeal. With Michaelmas Term came the resignation of Sir William Erle as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, an office which was given to Sir W. Bovill, who had been Solicitor- General four months. The beginning of December witnessed the retirement of Vice -Chancellor Kin dersley, and the appointment of Sir R. Malins, who had represented Wallingford in the Conservative interest for thirteen years, as his successor. In July, 1867, the death of Sir G. Turner again placed the office of Lord Justice of Appeal in Chancery in the hands of the Premier, and it was given to the Attorney-General, Sir John Rolt. Within a few days of this appointment, Dr. Lush ington, who had been Judge of the Admiralty Court for nearly 30 years, placed his resignation in the hands of the Lord Chancellor, and was suc ceeded by Sir Robert Phillimore. Early in the present year the unfortunate illness of Lord Jus tice Rolt rendered that important position vacant a third time within 18 months. His place was taken by Sir Charles Selwyn, who had been Solicitor- General rather more than half a year. A Puisne judgeship in the Court of Queen's Bench is now vacant, through the death of Mr. Justice Shee. In Ireland the run of patronage has been no less remarkable. When the Government came into office, the Irish, like the English Chancellorship, fell vacant 48 a matter of course.

The report of the directors states that the gross earnings for the half-year ending December 31st amounted to £41,899, or £4O ss. Bd. per mile per week, against £41,433 for the same half of 1866, showing an increase of £466. The traffic receipts for the year 1867 amounted to £74,680, against £76,271 in the year 1866, showing a decrease of of £1,591. After deducting working:expense,s, inte rest, and all other preference charges, a balance of £11,487 remained, out of which the directors re commended a dividend on the ordinary share capi tal at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of £52, which, added to the balance of £3,793 from the previous half-year, made the ba lance carried forward £3,845. The entire length of the railway was now being worked as a double line. The capital account showed that £782,830 had been expended. STAINES, WOKINGIIAII, AND WOKING. The half-yearly meeting of this railway was held yesterday at the offices, Broad Sanctuary, Westmin ster—Mr. J. Garrard in the chair. The report, an abstract of which appeared in 2he Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the company was making a steady though slow progress. It was a matter for congra tulation that their debentures were got out at so low a rate. The new line through Chertsey would not materially affect this company, as the South- Western Company had agreed to give this company mileage upon all traffic coming from Chertsey as though it came through Staines. They had not yet received the money from the South-Western to pay the dividend, though it was due in January last. The report was adopted, and the dividend de clared. The retiring directors and auditor were re elected. The meeting was then made special, and on a show of hands Mr. Oxenham was elected to fill the vacancy at On board, bat the friends of Mr. Govett, the other candidate, demanded a poll, the result of which was to be declared at an adjourned meeting. VALE OF CRICKHOWELL. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Crickho well ; Mr. T. Davies in the chair. The report stated that the Board had as yet been unable to enter into a contract for the construction of the line, the subscription list being too small. It had been arranged that deferred shares to the amount of £21,000 should be issued for the preliminary expenses, the same hot to receive any dividend until PRICE.. 4d. STAMPED sd. 4 per cent. was paid on the ordinary capital. The cost of constructing the line would depend very materially on the landowners, who, if they accepted rent-charges, would greatly assist the company. On the proposition of Mr. JAMIE, the report was adopted. The CHAIRMAN, Mr. J.tTNE, Mr. Cox DAVIES, and other shareholders, pointed out the great ad yantages that would be conferred on the district if the line were carried out, and a resolution was passed pledging the meeting to use every effort to raise the oabscription list to the required amount. BURY ST. EDMUND'S AND THETFORD. The half-yearly melting of this company was held at Bury St. Edmund's on Friday, Mr. E. Greene, MP., in the chair. 'The report stated that matters had been adjusted with the original contractors, and that the works had been commenced by the new contractors and were progressing satisfactorily. The directors be lieved that if a policy of executing the line in small contracts at cash prices were adhered to the line would eventually prove remunerative to the share holders. The CatirtmAN, in moving the adoption of the report, cengratulated the meeting on the improved position of the undertaking. After some conversation the report was adopted unanimously, and the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. COWES AND NEWPORT. The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held on Thursday, at the offices, Winchester street-buildings ; the lion. It W. Petro in the chair. The teport statel that the earnings of the line for the past half-year did not show any improve ment, owing to the falling off of the through traffic, which, previously to the opening of the Isle of Wight Rtilway, passed through Newport. Three projects were now before Parliament for the pur pose of connecting this line with the Isle of Wight Railway, in order to provide communication with other parts of the island. The directors would watch these measures in the interest of the com pany. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, regreted the falling off in the receipts. He believed there was every prospect of a revival of trade, which would result in au increase of traffic. The report was adopted. NEWRY, WARRENPOINT,'AND ROSTREVOR. The report of the directors states that the receipts for the past year ending December 31 amounted to £3,855, being the largest ever taken since the open ing of the line. O wing to unsettled differences between the Newry and Armagh and Ulster Com panies, there had lately been a very serious inter ruption to the coal traffic. The working expenses during the half year amounted to £1,537, or 38/ per cent. After paying interest on the debenture and bank debt there remained a balance of £824 to the credit of the general revenue account, which now stood at £3,868. The capital account showed that £171,541 had been expended to the 31st of December last. CORK AND BANDON. The report of the directors states that a surplus of £6,981 remains after providing for the half year's debenture interest, outstanding dividends, and accounts due. The directors recommend a dividend to be paid on the No. 1 preference shares at the rate of 5} per cent. per annum for the half-year ended the 31st of December last, less income tax, payable on the Ist of April next ; they also recom mend that a dividend be declared on the No. 2 pre ference shares at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, for which dividend warrants will be issued. They also recommend the payment of the deferred war rants for the dividend due on the No. 2 preference shares for the half-year ended the 31st of December 1865. The capital account shows that £317,473 has been expended. CORK AND KINSALE JUNCTION. General and special meetings of the shareholders, debenture-holders, and creditors of this company were held last week at the office, Westminster chambers, to consider a scheme prepared by the directors for reorganising the financial affairs of the undertaking—Mr. F. W. Sedgwick in the chair. Resolutions were passed appointing Messrs. Bain bridge, Thompson, Gray, Lindsay, Tennant, and Mann a committee of consultation for the purpose of considering the present position of the company, and especially the scheme prepared by the directors for re-organising its financial affairs; and adjourn ing the meeting to the 19th of March to receive and consider the report of the committee. ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN. The traffic receipts for the fourth week in Jan. amounted to $108,459, and•for the corresponding week last year to $100,228, showing an increase of 8,231. The total receipts for the month of January amounted to $394,771, against $361,137 for the same month last year, showing an increase of $33,634. THE rumoura IVORKING MEN'S CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIA4 TION, which is stated to number nearly 900 members, had its first public demonstration on Friday evening, when a larger audience than ever previously attended Any hi door political meeting at Plym out h assembled in Sr. James's Hall. The preliminary speeches were made by working men and others unversed in oratorical arts ; but Mr. Stuart Lane, who was unsuccessful at the general election three years ago, entered into a long and animated defence of the Government, at the close of which it was resolved, amid much cheering, to invite Mr. Lane to become a candidate at the next election. Mr. Lane accepted the invitation, remarking :—" There was but one condition be would put, and that was unanimity. It would be useless for him and a disgrace to them to fight a second time unless they intended to win. He was perfectly satisfied they could win if they chose."—Ereter Gazette. COMMUNICATION WITEI INDIA.--By this time next year it is believed that a continuous connected line of telegraphs between England and our Indian possessions will be nearly completed. The route will commence at Nordeney, en island in the German Ocean, on the Prussian coast, and will thence proceed through Hamburg and Berlin to Thorn, on the Prusso-Russian frontier, through Russia vift War saw, Odessa, Kertch, and Poti to Tiflis, and thence through Persia to Teheran. At Teheran the proposed line will join the system now in connection with the Persian Gulf Cable. The company by which the scheme is being carried out has obtained from the Prussian Government the concession of landing its own cable on the North German Coast. Provisional arrangements aro being made meanwhile with the Electric and International Telegraph Cornpaby and Reuter's Company, securing to the promoters of the new project the use of two wires between London and the Prussian coast. By the Prussian concession the Government of that country undertakes to complete a special double line connecting Nordeney and the Russian frontier at Thorn, and to reserve it for the exclusive use of the company in good working condition on payment of a message royalty. By a concession from the Russian Government the company aro authorized to construct a double line from the frontiers at Thorn to the Persian frontier at Tiflis with stations at Warsaw, Odessa, Kertch, and Poti; and by a Persian concession the right of con structing a similar line from the Russian frontier to Teheran is conceded. It will then be brought in connexion with the Indian system. The proposed amount of capital is .£450,000, and the cost of a message to India will be about .£3 10s. The new scheme promises to obviate the difficulties whiell, have hitherto existed in the way of a message passing intact and intelligible from England to the East or from the Bask to England. stomach and liver complaints in ever y g _ consumption, and all n o e n ry ly o a u g s, gr b a i v li a O t i e ls d , LADVERTISHMENT.] which had been considered and accelerated by drugs of e t veryd g e t lr e iT a iti e on, but perfectly acusrparbolveebaybDyutßhiotrurssacsrair health -restoring Revalenta, Arabica, Food, con sumption, habitual constipation, . gastric derange ments,hopeless; such as indigestion .

The Act does not apply to ally city, town, or hamlet containing a population of under 10,000 persons, .or to Ireland or Scotland. It will, if passed, come into operation in October next. A bill has also been published, backed by Mr. Cave and Mr. Hunt, which it is thought will much simplify the pro, cedure and lessen the expense in the case of railways wanting extension of time to complete works. By he present law a company wanting time has at great expense to pass a private Act. This bill provides that a company, with the assent of holders of three-fifths of the shares of the company, may apply to the Board of Trade for ex tension of time. Notice of the. application must be given in the Gazette, in the local newspapers, and affixed to the, doors of the churches in every parish in which any por tion of the railway is situate. Such notice having been given, the board, after considering the objections made, shall, if they think fit, extend the time, and their order, shall be the same as a parliamentary enactment. Compen. sation must be made by the company in cases where the . damage has been sustained by the extension of time, The County Courts Admiralty Jurisdiction Bill was also issued yesterday. Its purpose is to transfer the power now exercised by the Admiralty Court to certain county courts, subject to the following limitationa.t In bottomry cases to causes where the amount involved does not exceed £5OO ; as to salvage, to causes where esti amount of property saved does not exceed £l,OOO, and,4, o Admiralty causes where the amount claimed does not exceed £5OO ; to claims of wages for £5O and under, and to other cases where the amount claimed does not exceed .£5OO, Should the parties agree even where the amount involved is beyond that lin: t, the case may still be prosecuted in, the county court. Provision is also made for the appoint ment, by Order in Council, of judges solely for Admiralty cases, should the business be too much for the county 4 court judge.

On Tuesday a deputatiim from the National Union, of Conservative and Constitutional Associations, of which the Earl of Dartmouth is the president, waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his official residence in Downing-street, to present an address of confidence in her Majesty's Ministers. The Secretary read the following memorial : • " The Council of the National Union, and the repre sentatives of various Conservative and Constitutional Asso ciations throughout the country desire to avail themselves of the opportunity now afforded them to approach her Majesty's Ministers with every respect of confidence and respect. They think it amatter for general congratulation that the legislation of the last session of Parliament has, satisfactorily disposed of an agitation alike detrimental tO, progress and commerce. The deputation recognise in the Reform Act of 1867 alike a careful regard for the ancient fabric of the constitution and a just appreciation of the exigencies of existing society. " They contemplate with great satisfaction the recovery, by this country of its ancient place in the councils of the world, and they rely with entire confidence upon the present Ministry for the maintenance of the national dignity. The skill displayed by Lord Stanley in the pacific solution of the Luxembourg difficulty, by which a European war was prevented, as well as the attitude, conciliatory yet digni fied, which he has adopted in the recent controversies with the Government of the United States, mark, the deputa tion rejoice to observe, the commencement of a foreign policy worthy of our ancient renown. " The deputation beg to assure the present Administra. Jon of the loyalty and unwavering support of the nume. roes and powerful associations whose representatives they are on the present occasion. And they point with especial satisfaction to the circumstance that while no class has been slack in coming forward to take its due part in this movement, the cause of the Constitution has been nowhere more warmly taken up or more disinterestedly supported than by the working classes in all parts of the kingdom. In no clasS is there evinced a healthier or a more energetic Constitutional spirit ; and they trust that the assurances which they are thus authorised to lay before her Majesty's Ministers may serve no less to strengthen the hands of the Government than to vindicate the working classes themselves from the undeserved stigma of revolutionary aspirations." Mr. GATRORNE HARDY expressed his rezret that neither the Chancellor of the Exchequer nor Lord Stanley could attend. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was called to Osborne. It was only at an hour's notice that be (Mr. Hardy) was called upon to take his 'place. After addresses from several members of the deputation, which was composed of representatives from associations throughout the country, Mr. HARDY, in replying, expressed the gratitude which ne felt on behalf of himself and his colleagues for the sentiments set forth in the address, and for the acknOWledonent of, at all events, the honesty of the en deavours put forth by her Majesty's Ministers for the bene9t of the working classes. Referring to the absence of Lord Derby, he remarked that sorrow for the cause of it was found not only in the hearts of his imme Mate adhe rents, but even in those of his opponents, who vain 3d and ad mired what was honest and noble. He deeply regretted that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was unable to be present to address them in that eloquent language which he could so well use, and which he had so well used in the last session of Parliament. With respect to Lord Stanley, he observed that the foreign policy pursued by him was not only approved by those whom he (Mr. Hardy) addressed, but also by those who sat on the opposite benches in Parliament. There was no one who did not believe that the interests of England were safe in his hands. He trusted that those who had come there had come as at the commencement of a new political life, and that they would as Conservative working men henceforth shew that while they were ready to ap rrove such amendments as were necessary, they were pre pared to maintain in its integrity the Constitution against all attacks that might be made against it. The Ministry of Lord Derby had hitherto had a very arduous task, it beim/ supported rather by the weakness of its opponents than by its own strength. He trusted, however, that the time was at band when there would be such accessions to the party that it would be thoroughly and inherently strong. The deputation then withdrew. Drlaavarr has oeen indisposed for some months at Knole, and the last month his lordship's family and friends have been under great uneasiness. The Queen is constant in her inquiries, and Dr. Jenner and Dr. Gull, besides the familyphysician, who resides in the house, and others, never leave the noble earl. istito lie adds, Mr. W. Hard wicke, the unsuccessful candidate for the coronership of West e r n Middlesex, demand s a s crutiny of the votes. He relies upon the support of th e freeholders" to ffi eoffice b e aid c t o o mi n prevent g for h a i d im the h disgrace in a future t)tst i o e r t eo t u i n r g the return, institutions." to i t bi and, e in judi cials2 the Englishelection MR. GLADSTONE ON THE TRADES UNION D EPUT A TION.—At the general meeting of the London Tr: ( ,es Dele gates, held last Friday evening, after the report from the deputation to Mr. Gladstone had been received, the secre tury was instructed to forward to Mr. Gladstone a copy of a resolution, adopted by acclamation, tendering the thanks of the delegates to that gentleman for the frank and cour teous manner i n w hi c h he had received and treated the deputation. A copy of the resolution was sent on Satur day by the secretary to Mr. Gladstone, from whom the following reply was on Tuesday received': " 11, Carlton house-terrace, Feb. 24.—Sir, I have had the honour to receive your letter of Saturday. On ordinary occasions, however I might feel obliged by the acknowledgment which it contains, I might accept it in silence. But I cannot, con sidering the circumstances of the case, forbear from offer ing my very sincere thanks to the deputation both for fete disposition they clearly evinced to disavow and disap prove various methods of proceeding which they had perhaps been supposed to favour, and for the frank kind ness with which they permitted ins to state my views,withou t any scruple or reserve whatever, upon matters so closely related to the conduct and the welfare of the great body of artisans throughout the country. In the full and open tnterchauge of opinions among the various portions of the community, and in the reciprocal process of cool and can did reflection which that interchange will beget, I see an efficient means of contributing towards an object of which I cheerfully lookfOrward to the attainment—namely, the establishment at no very distant date of a full, genial harmony between the labour and the capital of the country, and, in consequence, the more complete co-operation of those two Powerful agents for k, the common good. haVe the honor to be, sir, your very faithful servant s N .
