The Doors are also protected by a newly-invented Lock, which is invulnerable against the most skilled class of burglars as well as the most scientific mechanicians.

They so perfectly 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. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti cation. 52, Fleet-street. At home from 10 till 5. RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

The pupils will be selected by competitive examination, the subjects for which, and numbers of marks assigned for each, are 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) Practical marine engineering (for engineer candi dates only) ~, ~. ... ... ...

Geography and History ~ 2,500 . 500 . 7.50 . 750 . 730 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 bo selected will bo treated, while attached to the School, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils; they will receive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at Is. 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 5..;h00l or in the dockyards.

It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagements to employ these pupils after 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 be examined as engineers or shipwrights. The examination will take place on the 28th September and three following days.

A capital programme was issued by the promoters of the Oxford meeting, and the opening day's racing was de cidedly the most successful and attractive of the week. Cool and pleasant weather, excellent running ground, and a largo attendance, both of bookmakers and backers, all conduced to the prosperity of the gathering. There were seven events set down for decision, and in most instances the contests were interesting and exciting. The principal race of the day (the Oxfordshire Stakes) fell to Virginia Creeper, who shared the favouritism with Papillon, the latter,who finished third, having a slight call of the winner when the flag fell. Otherwise, the details of the remainder of the day's sport given below tell their own tale : The County Members' Plato of 30 sovs, added to a Han dicap of 3 sovs each ; winners of any handicap after August 20 (at 10 aan.), 711) extra; three quarters of a mile, s`-raight ; 13 subs.

Yesterday the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty paid an official visit to Chatham for the purpose of making their annual inspection of the vast works now in progress for the enlargement of the dockyard, as well as the various naval estab lishments at the port. The members of the Board present on the occasion were Vice-Admiral Sir A. Milne, K.C.8., First Sea Lord; Vice-Admiral Sir S. C. Dacre:3, K.C.B. ; Rear-Admiral Sir J. C. 1). Hay, M.P. ; Lord 11. Lennox, M.P., Secretary of the Admiralty ; Mr. E. J. Reed, C. 8., Chief Con structor of the Navy ; Lieut.-Col. A. Clarke. Royal Engineers, director of Admiralty Engineering Works, and the usual secretaries and other attend ants on the Board. Shortly before 12 o'clock their lordships arrived at the dockyard, and immediately proceeded to the offices of the Captain-Superinten dent, where a lengthened consultation was held with the heads of the various departments. Their lordships proceeded to the metal mills for the pur pose of inspecting the plans for the proposed im provements in that department of the dockyard. Their lordships then inspected the progress made in the construction of the new armour-clad ship Sul tan, 13, 5,266 tons, 1-200-horse power, the last designed of Mr. Reed's powerful ironclad ships on the broadside midship battery principle. Con tinuing their progress, their lordships visited the dock in which Mr. Reed's new monitor turret-ship Glatton is bdilding. The Glatton will carry a belt of armour 6ft. 6in. in depth, the upper half being 12in. thick, and the lower half 10in. thick, laid on a teak backing of 18in. and 20in. respectively. She will carry a single turret, the exterior of which will be protected by armour-plating of the enormous thickness of 14in., laid on 15in. of teak. In the tur ret will be placed only two guns, but these will be 25-ton guns, each throwing a solid GOO-pounder shot. After partaking of luncheon at the official rei deuce of Capt. Stewart, C. 8., the members of the Board proceeded on board the iron- clad ship Mo narch, fitting for sea alongside the dockyard. The turrets are still incomplete, only a portion of the 10 inch and 8 inch plates having been fixed in their place on the two turrets. Leaving the Monarch, their lordships inspected one of the gun carriages recently constructed at the dockyard for working the large 18-ton 450-pounders, eight of which will be mounted in the central battery of the Hercules. the gun-carriage is that invented by Capt. R, E. A. Scott, who was in attendance on the occasion, and explained to their lordships the working of the carriage. The remainder of the afternoon was de voted by the Lords of the Admiralty to a length ened visit to the extensive works, where their lord shi were received by Mr. A. Gabrielli, the con tra :tor. Upwards of 3 )0 acres of laud, forming the en- ire surface of S - . Mary's I ,land, have been rc cla 'mod, on which arc being constructed docks, las us, factories, and other building=. The first c f 'le three large basins is Lcing rapidly pushed f u r, 'ard, and will be completed in about 12 months. Liuc 3 of railway with engines and trucks lead over the vi ')rks, which are on a scale of great magnitude. Th e ir Jords'iips were occupied until late yesterday afternow in the iusp •ction of the extension works, after which they proceede 1 on board their steam yacht Enchantress, wl,lrc they enter ai ned a dis- Liaguished party at dim Jar last cven;ng. The in spection of the naval establishments will be resumed this morning. The weather yest3rday morning appeared very unfavourable for the field-day, being squally with rain ; but at 11 o'clock a.m. the troops were formed on Woolwich-csnamon in the following order, in line ;—Two batteries of Royal Horse Ar tillery on the right at half intervals in open order, a battalion of Royal Marines of eight companies in quarter-distance column in the centre, and four batteries of Field Artillery at half intervals in open order on the left, all under 'the command of Col. Phillpotts, C. 8., R.H.A. The commander of the garrison, Major-Gen. E. C. Waroe, C. 8,, R.A., rode on the ground ; he was received with a general salute, and afterwards inspected the line. rhe troops then broke into column to the right, and marched past the General, who had taken up a position at the saluting flag. The Field Artil lery and Royal Marines wen then ordered to pro ceed to the top of the Common an 1 take up posi - tions pointed out to them respectively. The Horse Artillery, having halted at the eud of the saluting base and changed their front to the rear, were ordered to gallop past as soon as their front was clear, and when they had also taken up their position on the top of the Common a series of evolutions were carried out under the General in repelling the attack of a supposed enemy advanc ing from the direction of Charlton, &c. The pro ceedings were brought to a close about half-past 1 o'clock. Yesterday the division at Aldershot, under the command of Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., had a field day, which fairly tested each branch of the service in drill, dis cipline, duties, and efficiency. The troops formed up westward of Long-hill at half-past ten o'clock in mass of brigades in lines of contiguous columns, facing south. On the arrival of the General and staff dispositions were made to attack an enemy who appeared to have taken up a position with his right resting on Caesar's-hill and the left at Beacon hill. Major-General Carey, C. 8., with the 2d bri gade, and Brigadier Gwilt, with the 3d, proceeded to Brarley Bottom i while General Renny with the Ist brigade and the cavalry took ground to the right. The artillery unlimbered, and, availing itself of every advantage of ground, opened a heavy cannonade on the enemy's position. Soon after wards General Carey advanced under cover of a strong line of skirmishers to the summit of Cm3ar's-hill, when his brigade formed line and poured in a destructive the. While these move ments were in progress, the Ist brigade, covered by skirmishers, made a steady advance by an indirect route to the west of Bickley Copse, and was soon seen at Beacon-hill in conjunction with a battery of artillery. After forming line, the Ist Brigade con tinued to advance until at right angles with the 2d, when both brigades poured a terrific cross fire upon the supposed enemy. The 21 Brigade changed position to left, left thrown back, and the two bri gades closely pursued the enemy as far as the " Lawday" house. At this juncture the cavalry lent the most active support to the division, an I made many effective demonstrations. 'This was the crisis of the battle, and the fierceness of the action was told by thick clouds of blue smoke wafted far over the valley, the constant roar of artillery, and the incessant report of thousands of the deadly Sni ders, whose fire seemed to be delivered in one simul taneous and overwhelming discharge. The enemy retreated precipitately from the field towards Farn ham, and the object of the divisional commander being thus happily accomplished, the troops marched past on Bricksbury-plain, the artillery and cavalry in open column of batteries and squadrons at a walk, and the infantry in open column of grand divisions in quick time. The march past was ad mirably executed, and on its conclusion the troops returned to quarters, which were reached about two o'clock. The weather was favourable. Yesterday afternoon the annual athletic sports of the Ist battalion Coldstream Guards came off in the Home Park, opposite the North Terrace of Windsor Castle. There was a large concourse of s p ec tators. Tents were erected, and an enclosure, parted off from the rest of the park by ropes, was kept free for the sports, which were much enlivened by the presence of the negro troupe of the batta lion. Captain Buller and Lieutenant the Hon. E. Legge acted as judges, and Lieutenant Barrington as starter. The Ist battalion Coldstream Guards are ex pected to leave Windsor for Chelsea on Tuesday next. They will, it is understood, be relieved by the 2d battalion of the same regiment. Twenty-two gentlemen cadets from the Royal Military Academy, who obtained their commissions iu the Royal Artillery at the midsummer examina tion, and have been on leave since, will join and do duty at head-quarters on the Ist prox. The officers of the Royal Artillery Theatrical Fund gave a performance yesterday evening in the recreation-rooms, at the Royal Artillery barracks, Woolwich, the pitces selected being the celebrated comedy of " Used Tip," and the farce, " My Friend from Leatherhead," the characters in which were sustained by Captain Hunt, Messrs. Pope, Lacy, Kingscote, Rothe, Wickham, and Hughes Hallett, R. A., assisted by professional artistes—Mrs. Stephens, Miss Carlotta Addison, and Miss Fanny Addison, from the Royal Olympic and New Royalty Theatres respectively. His Netherlands Majesty's ram st2amer Maffei, Capt. Hugenholtz, arrived at Falmouth on Tuesday for fuel, on her voyage from Nienwedien to Liver pool, to tow round to Holland another ram built at Birkenhead for the Netherlands Government. The Buffel, which was built at Glasgow, is a turret vessel, with two 300-pounder Armstrong guns, and the officers report that she behaved very well in the gale of Saturday last in the North Sea. The following appointments were made at the Admiralty yesterday :—Cotnmauder R. H. King to the Northumberland, and Richard B. Nicholetts to the Bristol; Lieut. William F. E. Freeland to the Britannia ; Sub-Lieut. Chas. E. Bell to the Forte ; Midshipmen—Clement W. Swetenham, William D. V. Hamilton, Henry W. Target, Neville Parker, and George G. L. Paterson to the Penelope ; Sam. G. Pechell, Arthur C. Middlemass, Johu D. P. French, Thomas 'l'. D. Jefferson, and Edmund A. White to the Warrior ; Chief Engineer Henry Williams to the Forte ; Engineers Alfred Mason, Thomas Russel, and John J. Rose to the Forte, and Thomas R. Knight to the Formidable, for the Lizard. iADVERTISEMENT. I - Holloway's Pill& Aches and Pains.—There can be little doubt that man is less sensible of the most perfect health than he is of the least sickness. By this means does kind nature forewarm him to guard against a coming malady. Were these alterative, aperient, and purifying pills had recourse to when the first depar ture from ease proclaims the approach of disease hour many tortures would be spared ? How much misery avoided ? Holloway's pills need no comment here on the good services they render in resisting or remedying com plaints at their onset, which, through inexcusable delay, false delicacy, or thoughtless neglect, will run their rapid course to danger in defiance of the highest medical science and the wit uttlehttjgable awing. ages a cd breeds ‘Crti won by Lictor, the i.roperty of Mr. Ed ward J.

The noble chairman had alluded in kindly terms to the tagnner in which ho bad per formed Li:: duties as en Irish landlord. lie highly appre ciated such approval, coming from one who was himself one of the Lest and most intelligent of landlords, and these good qualities generally went together. There was no locality in which ho had grt ater pleasure in meeting the Agricultural Society of Ireland than that in which they were now met together. Ho thought that dis trict and that province suggested an instructive lesson and offered an example to all who study the great problem of Irish prosperity, of Irish industry, and of Irish difficulties. (Cheers.) It was true that they had not those genial skies or that exceeding fertility which some countries were blessed with, but they had a people large in pro portion to most agricultural countries, living in peace and harmony, energetically carrying out their industrial ocenpations, while a cordial sympathy existed and was cherished between both employers and employed:l . :ie . :" teen the landlord and tenants of the soil. (Cheers.) It was not his place to inquire whence this happy combination arose. The fact was a source of satisfaction—satisfaction not lessened by the hope that there was nothing exceptional in their case that might not be applicable to the rest of Ireland, considering that there had, been social causes unfavourable to progress during the last few years, though now fortunately in their outward elements these had disappeared. It was satisfac tory to find that the show exhibited no falling off in Irish agriculture. The season they had just passed through bad been one of entirely exceptional drought, yet reliable ac counts from all parts of Ireland denoted that the harvest would be a favourable one. With the exception of turnips, all crops looked well. From the Registrar- General's returns, which had just been issued, he found that the present year showed an increase of 79,000 acres of cereal crops over last year, an increase of 30,000 acres of po tatoes and 33,000 of meadow. Nearly 150,000 acres had last year been withdrawn from pasture presumably into rotation crops, and consequently in the right direction. There was a small decrease in horses, and a decrease of sheep of about 13,000, a decrease of 87,000 cattle, and 872,000 pigs ; in flax there bad been a decrease of 48,000 acres, of which 42,000 acres were in Ulster. He did not regard this as a proof of weakness or deficiency, but ratheras a return to a healthy condition of things, there being still a much larger quantity grown than in any year before 1863. The emigration during the year ending June, 1868, was 69,000, or 11,000 less than the preceding year, and 33,000 less than in 1866. The number of persons teceiv ing poor-law relief during the year showed an increase of 1,240 ; and closely connected with emigration was the question of improvement of the dwellings of the labouring classes. To aid in that he had asked permission of the Society to give a prize for designs of such dwellings, to be built at the rate of £75 for a single cot tage and £65 for each one of a number. Ho be lieved the Irish peasant was better off now than in former years. Ho thought emigration had been caused not by increased poverty, but by the spread of educa tion and greater facilities for travelling; the bust way to counteract the evil was by improved dwellings and higher wages for the labouring classes. For this reason he re joiced to see increased wages in different parts of Ireland. lle believed this would ultimately be of advantage to both landlords and farmers, for there was nothing so expensive in the long run as cheap labour As an Irish proprietor he was ashamed of the average dwellings of the agricultural labourers on Lis owa estate, and yet he was unable to see his way to any change for the v. hole number ; Lut the subject if pro perly placed before the public was capable of great expansion. With the exception of certain occasional outrages, which were no more truly indivativo of the real condition of the country than the health of a parti cular street was indicative of the sanitary condition of a largo city, there were greater quiet. and freedom from crime, ei - ter of a sedit:ous or ordinary character, than for many ye .rs past. Other toasts followed. His Excellency thrn prceeeded to the Bishop's Palace, and held a reception, which was numerously and fasLion ably attended. The city was illuminated at night. A cab driver, named liegarty, has been stabbed Lo death near Youghal in a quarrel with a band of musicians. THE " FATHER " OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Dublin Evening Mail announces the retirement from public and parliamentary life of Sir W. Verner. The hon. baronet has for many years been the " father ," that is, the senior member, of the House of Commons, where he has sat for forty-two years. In politics he has always been an . Orangeman of the most ultra old' school, and his name is associated with the fiercest stuggles of the party. His son, Mr. E. W. Verner, hopes to succeed him in the representation of the county of Armagh. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—As the seven p.m. up-train from Ramsgate was leaving the Birchington Station on the South-Eastern line, the doors being all closed and the train fairly in motion, a woman ran towards the train, and endeavoured to get one of the carriage doors open, which she succeeded in doing ; but in making the attempt to jump in she fell between the platform and the train. Two carriages passed over her, crushing one foot, and cutting one leg entirely from her body. Dr. T. Neame, surgeon, of Birch ington, was quickly on the spot, and, assisted by two medical gentlemen from Margate Infirmary, performed the necessary surgical operations. The poor woman is now lying at the station, and doing very favourably, she having received every attention from the station-master and his assistants. No blame can be attached to any of the company's servants, it being entirely the woman's own fault in trying to get into the train while in motion. RIOTS IN CIIELSEA.—For several nights past the outside of St. Luke's Church, Chelsea, has been the scene of a most disgraceful riot, and on Thursday night it extended its field of violence. It commenced by an alarm of an apparition being visible among the tombstones, and au immense mob of disorderlies climbed the church railings, shrieking, pushing, and fighting, despite the presence of the police, and the streets became impassable for decent people. " The ghost" was, how ever, captured late on Thursday night, in the shape of some idle scamp in white shirt sleeves, who was detected dodging over the graves. The mob having followed their ghost down the King's-road to the station house,found a fresh field in East-street, Chelsea, in the shape of a wedding. An aged man had taken a third wife, and whilst he and his friends were enjoying themselves at supper, their peace was suddenly interrupted by an immense serenade of tin pots and showers of mud. The bridegroom boldly sallied out to drive off his noisy wedding friends, and got, as may be expected, roughly treated. His wife came to the rescue, and was shame fully used. The police marched off some of the ring leaders, but this rather increased than allayed the riot. RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS IN A THEATRE. —A night or two ago a concert was announced to be given in the Theatre Royal, Durham, by a company of four or five "artistes." A well•filled house resulted, and the first two or three songs were successfully rendered. A short interval then took place, when the " gentleman " who had sung last presented himself before the "drop" and An nounced that the other " gentlemen " who were associated with him in the undertaking bad made themselves " scarce " in the house. He believed, however, they were in a neighbouring " public," and he asked the for bearance of the audience while he went to bring them back. Visions of a swindle seemed at once to seize the imagination of the denizens of the gallery, w h o , as the speaker retired from the stage, swarmed dowii into the boxes, thence over the footlights on to the stage, where the work of destroying everything that could be destroyed was at once begun in real earnest. Every. thing portable in the carpenters' shops was hurled down on to the stage, and some vicious fellow had appa. rently made his way into one of the dressing•rooms, where he had severed the gas•pipe with a knife. Fortunately for the safety of the establishment, and those in it, some one turned the tap at the meter, and this had the effect of throwing the place into darkness, and clearing it of its unruly company. The crowd, on being turned into the streets, made their way to various places in search of the promoters of the swindli; and it required all the efforts of the police to prevent wanton mischief from taking place, v' i
