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. LAMBETH ELECTION. The following correspondence has been forwarded to us for publication : " South Molton, Sept. 29. " My dear Mr. Selway,—l have just had a very pressing requisition to stand for Frome in the place of Sir Henry Rawlinson, the present member, who proposes to retire. The grounds of the application are, that all sections of the Liberal party there will unite to suport me. "Of course now that we have opened the cam paign in Lambeth on certain distinct principles, I shall not accept this offer except with the cordial approval of yourself and the leading members of our committee. I should be obliged, therefore, if you will consult them at once, and let me know as early as possible how you feel and would wish me to act in the matter. Personally I see the advan tage in the proposed chinge that I shall be fighting the battle tit a united Liberal party against a Tory instead of funning against at least three other Libe rals with the possibility of letting in a Conservative. If, however, you, after consultation, tell me that you think the battle ought to be fought through in any case for the purpose of breaking down the system of legalised corruption which is still unfortunately prevalent in Lambeth, I am in your hands, and am quite ready to go the poll. " As it will be of the greatest moment to act promptly in this matter, I hope you will be able to come to a speedy decision.—Ever most truly yours, " THOMAS HUGHES." " Walworth, Oct. 1, 1868. "My dear Sir, —I have laid your letter of the 29th ult. before several of the gentlemen engaged in promoting your election, and am to convey to you our high appreciation of your generous proposal to relinquish your candidature in this borough rather than endanger the Liberal cause. " It is much to be regretted that here and else where several Liberals should be fighting against each other. " In so large a borough the difficulties of ascer taining which two of several candidates would be most acceptable to the electors are almost insur mountable otherwise than by actual polling ; but we have every reason to believe your return would be tolerably certain ; yet if all go to the poll the risk of admitting a Conservative would doubtless be greatly enhanced. " We think that your election in 1865 was an honour to the borough, and had hoped that your return to the new Parliament, after conducting the forthcoming contest upon the pure and econo mic line you had laid down, would still fur ther elevate the political condition of the elec tors ; but while we experience great regret in con templating your retirement we feel that at this porta,nt crisis, when the question before the people is justice to Ireland, and the unshackling in that island of the Church from the State, we should be wanting in the first duties of citizens did we allow any personal consideration to weigh ever so lightly against these great principles ; and we say, there fore, that if you feel the cause of Liberalism can be best served by your retiring from this borough and contesting a seat elsewhere against a Tory candi date, we can only wish you God speed in your chivalrous enterprise.—l am, yours faithfully, " W. R. SELWAY. " To Thomas Hughes, Esq., M.P."

Lord Carnarvon's modesty prevents him from' speaking with similar confidence ; and almost the only subjects on which he pronounces a decided opinion are' those of prison discipline and education. On other sub-' jects he is contented with a candid and able summary of the main points at issue. It is of considerable advantage to have thus forced upcft our attention the extreme com plexity of modern life. There is not one of the many sub jects • mentioned by Lord Carnarvon which is not of material importance to our safety, our health, and wealth. The Social Science Association has been the object of some banter on account of the universality of its aims ; but it must be allowed that social life, in its full modern development, is really interested in almost every department of human thought and work. If there be be such a thing as a Social Science, it may be called the ecience of applying all other sciences and arts to the needs of civilised life. Properly speaking, it would be, in great part, the science of legislation, and Lord Carnarvon, indeed, seems conscious that he is reviewing the legisla tion of the past session, and indicating the tasks of future Parliaments. But in Parliament all subjects are necessarily considered with reference to immediate prac tice, and there is no timz to bring so vast a field under view as is surveyed in this opening address. The Times deprecates the tendency of enthusiasts to think too much of their hobbies, to hold to one principle and to carry it through, regardless of what may overturn in the process. There is rather a tendency now-a-days in old philosophers and young statesmen to reconsider every institution ab aro, and to contemplate an almost total co I t mayeh at stake to be wellyery put fo such r co mp n l s io e n t , io b n ut o w f e s°Cie hav t e y. too r ou theories into practice. The machine is too complex to endure any material derangement. We must work upon the state of 'things before us, and gradually improve what con templation, exists. This has been our safe and prosperous course hitherto, and we trust the Social Science Congress, with its curious combinations of omniscience and nescience, will assist us in maintaining the same steady but constant progress. The Post says : The meeting of the Association for tne Promotion of Social Science was worthily inaugurated on Wednesday by a speech from Lord Carnarvon, which may be said to resume almost every social subject to which attention has of late been directed. The length of the list, and the fact that if half the very sweeping changes Indicated as being necessary were ever carried out they would revolutionise the daily life of the country, are enough to shew how little advance has been made in these matters up to the present time. Lord Carnarvon has treated them all with a broadness which shews that, what ever his opinions may be upon political subjects, his views upon social matters are of the most advanced description. The Post reviews the subjects treated by the earl, and among other things observes : With regard to education we are reminded that the time has happily passed when " ignorance, whether in town or country, was regarded as a means of safety to the rest of the community ;" but, nevertheless, there area great many not yet prepared honestly to do something effectual to abate that ignorance. The advisability of dissevering religious from secular in struction, and of making the latter compulsory, are to be treated, and in all probability both propositions will be affirmed, and nothing less will be efficient. The Daily News holds that if Lord Carnarvon appeared to touch a great variety of subjects and not fairly to grapple with any, if he skimmed a vast surface without attempting to sound the depths below, the fault was rather in the method he adopted than in any insufficiency on his own part. Some admirable passages in his address shew what he might have done if he had concentrated himself upon a limited theme. Future presidents of the National Association may in this respect derive a hint from the practice of the most eminent presidents of the British Association. The most interesting inaugural discourses delivered to the latter learned body have not traversed the entire range of physical science, but have dealt with some single problem or line of thought. Mr. Grove's address last year at Nottingham on the doctrine of continuity, and Dr. Hooker's review of the Darwinian controversy at Norwich are instances of the superiority of singling out a special line of diought for development instead of wandering over a vast field of research, and expressing, as the lady in " Nicholas Nicldeby " did, " a great variety of opinions on a great variety of subjects." There are indications in Lord Carnarvon's address of a capacity for thoroughly treating some one of the many subjects with which he played at touch-and-go. At the same time there are signs in his discourse of a political timidity which is at variance with the true freedom and courage of science. Clerical prejudice is a by-word ; but the prejudices of statesmen are as hostile to pure truth. If the Church resisted Galileo, how long was it before polit:c , ans accepted the doctrines of Adam Smith? The Herald urges the Conservatives to action. Glancing at the Conservative array, as a whole, we find every reason to eulogise the energy and tact which have been displayed in organising it, and especially do we recognise value and importance of the aid which has been ren dered by the working men's associations throughout the country in infusing and concentrating the body of Con• servative feeling which might otherwise have been frittered away in helpless isolation. Whatever may be the result of the present campaign, and we anticipate it with well grounded confidence, it will at least have taught the Conservative party how widely diffused are Constitu tional principles, and how powerfully they may be directed by careful organisation. What we need is greater alacrity in those whose duty it is to take the lead in the electioneering contests. In every centre of political activity there are one or more personages of rank, influence, or wealth to whom it naturally belongs to take the initia tive. If they hold back, the Conservative strength of the district is in a fair nay of being wasted. It was so in not a few instances in the general election of 1865, and it will not have been forgotten how in more than one case the tenant farmers found it necessary to take the affair into their own hands, and start their own candidate. With every desire to see the landed interest taking its rightful position in the present emergency, we do not hesitate to urge that where there seems a rooted determination not to stir, and to allow precious opportunities to pass away neglected, it is the duty of the middle classes in the con stituencies to act for themselves, and to take measures for ensuring that they shall be fairly represented in their respective districts. This is no time for apathy or bang ing hack. The issues involved are too momentous, the occasion too urgent, and the period available for action too brief, to warrant hesitation or delay. There is work still to be achieved ; there is still ground to be occupied ; and that which remains to be done should be done promptly and thoroughly. SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. On Thursday a fatal accident happened near to Bording bury station, on the Leamington and Coventry branch of the London and North-Western Railway, to the train which leaves Rugby at 12.30. The train consisted of the engine and tender, five carriages, and two break vans. About a mile and a half from Rugby, whilst running along a piece of straight line, known as Draycot bank, the whole of the carriages suddenly left the metals and rolled down the embankment by the side of the line. One of the second-class carriages was shivered almost to fragments, and the others were more or less broken. The engine and tender remained on the line, and were despatched to Bordingbury, whence a tele gram was sent to Leamington for assistance. In the meantime everything was done by the passengers who had escaped being injured, to render aid to their less fortunate fellow -travellers. Two gentlemen, named Davis, were found in a dying state, and both expired almost immediately they were extricated from the d6bris of carriage. They were found to be father and son. A Mr. Ebsworth, who had travelled from London, received very serious injuries, and lies in a critical state alb Leamington. Two German gentlemen were also hurt, one having a dislocated sbollder, and the other sustained injuries to his foot. Several other passengers were bruised, cut, or severely shaken. As soon as assistance arrived a fresh train was made up, in which the passengers were conveyed to Leamington. Those who were unable to proceed to their own homes were sent to the hotel, where they were attended by Mr. Busby, surgeon. Mr. Davis and his son were killed in the act of attempting to leave their carriage at the moment of precipitation clown the embankment, the whole force and weight of the falling carriage being thus directly upon them. The passengers who escaped were simply knocked about by the shocks occasioned by the car riages leaving the line and going over the embankment. The hurts received by the wounded were of various kinds, most of them being b ruised more or less in the head. The line is a single one, and had to be blocked for several hours after the accident. The accident is attributed to the excessively worn state of the rails, which, at the point where the carriage left the line, must have given out by the constant strain upon them. This is probably suggested by the fact that the line is just undergoing repair. One gentleman broadly asserted that the sleepers had rotted completely away. The Liverpool Courier announces that the Hon, Reverdy Johnson, the American Minister, has accepted an invitation to a banquet to be given at Liverpool on the 22nd inst. by the American Chamber of Commerce. Lord Stanley, the Foreign Secretary, has also accepted an invi tation from the chamber, and will be present on the UtiaioA.
