B. ROUT flf, - Commissary-General. Deputy mHOWARD, .. SURGEON-DENTIST , 52, Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. 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. IAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN EFFECT UAL REMEDY, without confining the bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re ;loving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci pient consumption.

It consists of 11,607 volumes, 1,168 wood engravings, and 276 manuscripts. Tho books aro on all sorts of subjects, and among there there are several rare works, one or two of which aro unique, there being no copies of them in even the largest libraries in China. The library was collected by M. Skatchoff, now Consul-General in Peking, during a resi dence of fifteen years in the Chinese Empire. Recently M. Skatchoff offered to sell it for 9,000 roubles (4f. each) to the Imperial Library at St. Petersburg and the Rus sian Academy of Science, but both institutions were com pelled to decline the offer for want of funds. The Occident publishes a list of the Presbyterian clergymen ou the Pacific coast. Tho whole number is 69, of whom 37 are designated Old School, 26 as New School, one as a United Presbyterian—leaving five whose ecclesias tical position is not given. Of the 69, 11 aro in Oregon, 2 in Washington Territory, 2 in Nevada, and the remainder in California ; 18 are in San Francisco, 8 at Oakland, con nected with the College and Female Seminary there ; leaving 28 pastors and stated supplies for all the other towns and cities in the State. _ _ REALLY TOO BAD.—Is a " Shaker village" BO call 'd from having suffered from the effects of au earth quake ?

PROGRESS OF THE CATTLE DISEASE IN AME RICA.—The cattle disease seems to be subsiding in eastern localities, but it has broken out virulently at Cincinnati, where 60 or 70 cattle have died of it within a few days. The plague still rages on the grazing lands in Illinois, but is abating rapidly. Some of the Illinois farmers have sued the importers of Texan cattle for damages, and one of them has already recovered 5,000 dollars from a Texan importer. A post mortem examination of a dis eased cow at Cincinnati, made three hours after death, showed that decomposition had advanced as rapidly as is usual in three or four ..lays. The membranes of the brain were congested, and dark patches of extrava sated blood were found in the lining membranes of the heart. The liver, spleen, and gall bladder were enlarged, and the structure of the first very much softened. The first and second stomachs were almost empty, the lining membranes being greatly softened ; the third and fourth stomachs contained dry and half digested food. The greatest &amigo was in the kidneys, which presented all the signs of high inflammation. and the bladder was greatly distended. The rectum and lower bowels were healthy, but in the ccats of the small intestines were numerous black lumps, the size of small peas, the character of which could not be determined at the time. This animal had the tick parasites upon the skin, but these are net found in all cases. Tie disease, it is reported, is spreading from Cin cinnati to other portions of the State.—Times Correspondent.

The simple fact that a statesman who , makes such avowals has been sent by the President of the . United States to take the place of Mr. Adams, with , instructions from Mr. Seward, is full of significance.- Hence—though it may be erroneous to profess any actual . knowledge of Mr. Reverdy Johnson's instructions—his antecedents and the circumstances of his appointment are such, that we may confidently expect the best results from his diplomatic efforts. The lodger franchise seems likely to give some trouble to the revising barristers. The difficulty, says the Stan dard, is, not with the lodger usual, but the lodger excep tional ; with those who are, as it were, on the fringe of the new franchise, on the border land of distinct territories, having something in common with each, and something different from either. At Dublin a question arose with respect to occupiers of a house wholly let out in tenements, in none of which did the landlord reside, either by him- self or by his agents, places to which ho had a right to go as far as the outer door, but in which "he would be a trespasser if he attempted to walk in with• out leave." We may observe that this description can scarcely be considered correct, as in that case any single tenant in a house of twelve or twenty rooms could by merely refusing leave to enter, prevent his landlord from collecting rents from the other eleven or nineteen. One would think that every such letting implied a condition that the landlord might enter the hall door and go up the main staircase at all reasonable times, or certainly he would find his houses very undesirable property. But this does not affect the prin ciple of the decision. Mr. Purcell, when announcing the conclusion at which he and his colleagues had arrived, said that if they had held otherwise all the occupiers of tenements would be lodgers, and none would he entitled to be rated. To us it seems that the question was practi cally settled by the ruling of the Court of Common Pleas in " Stamper v. the Churchwardens of Sun derland," in which case the wording of a special section of the last Reform Act was held to disentitle the occupants of such tenements as had not previously been separately rated from claiming to be put upon the ratebook, so as to acquire the franchise by personal rating, the clause being apparently intended to provide for that very numerous class upon whom collectors would 'call in vain for rates of a few pence, and who therefore com pelled Parliament against its will to retain something more than a shadow of the otherwise abolished compound householder. Speaking of the terrible news from South America, the Post observes that during the last twelve months the western side of South America has been subjected to con vulsions of nature more or less violent. These seem to have culminated in one of those terrible and disastrous earthquakes in which whole towns and populations instantaneously disappear, and the face of a country is changed. There have been not wanting indica tions that some such great convulsion was at hand. The unexpected outbreak in the Sandwich Islands, the repeated shocks upon the neighbouring coast, the furious disasters in the West Indies, and the fierce and continued eruptions of Vesuvius, all pointed to a certain accumulation of hidden force which was seeking, as it were, at every possible vent to escape from its own pres sure, and more or less certain to do so with violence, according to all previous experience, either upon the European or American continents, or upon both. The blow has come at last ; and we may be thankful, indeed, if Southern Europe wholly escapes - for such periods extend over great areas of space, and, as we have seen, over a certain area of time. Let us hope, however, that this accumulation of subterranean force has for the present exhausted itself. Its efforts have been very terrible in effect. Whole towns destroyed, whole populations swallowed up, and the life, the wealth, the labour of years lost in a moment ! Since the destruc tion of Lima in 1746, when nearly twenty thousand per sons perished, or the worse earthquake in Panama some half century later, when upwards of forty thousand lives were destroyed, there has been nothing so terrible and so extensive in South America during this century. So far as it may be possible to judge from the meagra and hasty particulars which came in with the earliest announcement, the Times says it must feel disposed to look upon this convulsion as one of the greatest magnitude. The word " earthquake " can hardly be mentioned without recalling to the mind that one of the calamities of the same description in modern times of which we have the most minute and authentic accounts-- we mean the earthquake of Lisbon of 1755. In that occurrence a multitude perished which was variously computed at from 30,000 to 60,000 persons. The loss of life in Calabria in 1857 and the fol lowing year was also estimated at 22,000 to 40,000 ; while 12,000 were said to have been lost at Caracas in 1812, and no less than 5,000 in the town of Quito in 1859. Unless, therefore, we go back to the dark ages for the catastrophe of Antioch, in the year 526—the most disastrous on record, in which 250,000 persons are said to have perished —or to some of the great convulsions in Java, of which we have not sufficiently accurate information, we shall have little hesitation in placing the earthquake of 1868 among those which involved the greatest sacrifice of human victims. It is the opinion of the committee on Scientific Instruc. tion, as embodied in their report, that technical and scien tific instruction is greatly wanted in all departments of industry, this instruction to be combined with practical experience and manipulative skill. With these latter quali fications British workmen are well supplied ; but " the facilities for acquiring a knowledge of theoretical and applied science are incomparably greater on the Continent than in this country," such knowledge being based on au advanced state of secondary education. The subject, says the Herald, is one which cannot be safely neglected. All the witnesses before the committee agree in believing that "the economical necessity for general and scientific education is not fully realised by the country." Most of the evidence shews that so far as foreign countries are gaining on us it is due to the preponderance of certain educational advantages. Other causes doubtless con tribute to the result, more particularly the absence of trades-union restrictions abroad ; but it is clear, according to the best evidence obtainable, that the foundation of industrial prosperity consists in the proper schooling and training of the working-clasrpopulation. This, too,. may strike a blow at trades unions, for the greater the intel lectual development among the working classes the stronger will be the demand for that liberty which is essential to all intellectual progress. Every day the proof is becoming clearer that the intellectual and the industrial are not so far apart as our forefathers seem to have thought they were. The railway companies are adopting a plan which for some years past has been tried but with comparatively indifferent success. They propose to carry out as far at possible the consolidation of their debenture debt into stock. The last crisis, says the Daily News, has shewn the danger of having open floating liabilities, which at the beginning of 1866 amounted to the enormous suns of about ninety-eight millions sterling, falling due at certain inter. vals, and, as it soon after proved, almost impracticable of renewal in times of financial emergency. The loss and inconvenience then experienced by some of the best rail. ways in the kingdom showed the absolute necessity of modifying the terms upon which this debt was contracted. The advantage of substituting a fixed annuity for a flue. tualing and uncertain charge, combined with getting rid of the ..I,ligation to repay the principal at perhaps a most inconvy , iient moment, was too obvious to be overlooked.
