MR. HOWARD, 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. RUPTURES.—BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

R. ROUT Deputy Commissary-General. SOUTH AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT SIX PER C ENT. BONDS PAYABLE IN LONDON. The Bank of South Australia, 54, Old Broad-street, E.C., is authorised by the undersigned to receive TEN DERS for BONDS of the SOUTH AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT, to the amount of £400,000. The Bonds, having from 2G to 35 years to run (1891 to 1903), are of the following denominational values:- 50 Bonds for £l,OOO each £50,000 800 17 500 ~ 2,-000 u 100 ~ £400,000 And are issued under the authority of Act No. 28, of 19th December, 1867, of tho South Australian Parliament, entitled "An Act to authorise the raising of Money f.,r Railway purposes." A copy of the Act may be inspected at the office of the undersigned, Both principal and interest are made payable in London at the dates specified in each Bond, the interest by Coupon on the Ist July and Ist January of each year. The Bonds bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, from the Ist July, 1868. The above quoted act authorises the issue of £311,000. Thepresent issue is the tirstportion thereof,the remaining half will not be issued till some time next year. Clause 5 of the Act duly provides for the payment of the interest, and the redemption of the Bonds of this Loan, as they fall due. The B •nded Debt of South Australia, including the £400,000 now issued, will amount to £1 , 568,000, and is secured on the general revenue of the colony, which was as follows, according to the latest Government official statistics in the Agent General's possession: —1862, £548,709 ' • 1863, £4.31,700 ; 186 4 , £775,837 ; 1865, £1,089,128 ; 1866, £949,774. The high estimation in which the South Australian Government Bonds have al ways been held is sufficiently proved by the current quo tations in the market. The existing Bonded Debtis an nually reduced by redemption of Bonds falling due to tll3 extent of about £40,000 each year. Sealed Tenders, made in accordance with the annexed orm, will b-a received by the Bank of South Australia for he whole or any portion of these Bonds—not being less han £loo—until noon on Tuesisy, the 13th October, and ho allotment will take place at that hour in the presence of such of the applicants as may desire to be present. The Bonds will be allotted to the highest bidders, pro vided the rates offered are not below the minimum which will be fixed by the Agent General and placed in a sealed envelope on the table b, fore the Tenders aro opened, but the sealed envelope will only be opened in case the Agent General declares that the whole amount has not been ten dered at or above his minimum. Tenders at. a price including a fraction of a shilling other than sixpence will not be preferentially accepted, and in the event of an equality of Tenders beyond the amount of these Bonds, a pro rata distribution on such Tenders will be made. In the same way the Bonds falling due at the different dates will be distributed, as regards the dates, as near as possible, among st the successful tenderers.

The report of the sewage irrigation experiments made at the Lodge Farm, Barking, by the Metro politan Sewage and Essex Reclamation Company, for the year ending 31st of August, has just been presented to the directors by the manager. The demand for the rye grass, to the growth of which one-fourth of the acreage is devoted, now exceeds the supply, as its value is beginning to be appre ciated. That its use in cattle-feeding is most satis factory may he gathered from the fact that two young steers fed exclusively on the sewage-grown grass since May 18 had increased in weight by Aug. 7 from 6cwt. and 71cwt. to 71cwt. and newt. re spectively. Experiments of a very interesting cha racter are detailed, illustrative of the remarkable fertilising power of the sewage on land of the poorest and most sterile nature. And whereas it used to be one of the strong points urged against sewage irriga tion that it was good for nothing but the growth of rye-grass, the manager of the Lodge Farm is able to speak now of wheat, rye, oats, mangold, cabbage, turnips, sugar-beet, parsnips, potatoes, &c., all yielding most prolific crops from poor land re ceiving no other manure than the sewage. It is confidently asserted that no amount of ordinary manure could produce six or seven crops of grass a season, weighing from six to twelve tons each. In the case of mangold, als), the knowledge that two dressings or floodiugs of sewage, consisting of from 200 to 300 tons per acre each, is capable of produc ing a crop of from 50 to 60 tons per acre, enables a comparison to be drawn with the ordinary crop of from 20 to 25 tons produced with a good dressing (,f farm-yard dung. The crop of wheat grown last year without any manure was about 3i qrs. to the acre ; this year the yield with sewage was 5} qrs. \ Not more than 1 350th of the whole of the sewage of North London is used ou the Lodge Farm in a year ; and as the results are so triumphantly suc cessful, it may be hoped that the farmers of South Essex will begin to avail themselves of the means offered to them by the company for enriching their land with the valuable fertilising stream which at present passes away in waste to the ocean. — Lancet.

The Dean's memory, as our readers know, has been treated with scant reverence in journals which affect to guide the opinion of the religious world, and he has even been written of iu the language of stern reprehension, as if he had betrayed the sacred interests of which he was an appointed guardian. In contrast with this unworthy treatment of one who was an ornament of the Church no less than of society, the bishop's tribute to Dean Milman's character and services will be read with interest. " What is it," asked the bishop, " that he has done by which he has set his mark in the Church of Christ amongst us? I. Ire has left us, as the product of his earlier days, from among his other poetry, those noble hymns which are prized in a thousand Christian homes, and which will, I believe, live always in the affections of those who love Christ as long as the English language lasts. 2. Ho has shown to this England of the nine. teenth century that in the midst of its unceasing and laborious mission with the teeming masses of our country men, this Church of England can still produce and honour in its clergy those deep stores of varied learning which are indispensable, if the scribe instructed amongst us for the kingdom of heaven is to -lave whence he may bring forth, for the teaching of the people, thingii new and old—the lessons inculcated by a vivid reduction of old history, and the truths which may be winnowed from the chaff of subtle modern speculations. It will not do, certainly in this age, for the clergy to fall behind the laity in any branches of human knowledge, and this man has shewn us by his example in what varied fields they may far outstrip their lay contemporaries. 3. He has, by the peculiarities of his mind and the direction of his studies, held for many years a sort ok middle position between the active, ever•inquiring intellect of an age certainly somewhat wanting in religious reverence, and the men whose whole religious character is formed on the traditional teaching of the Church ; uniting in himself boldness and impartiality of inquirst with full, hearty, reasonable, and reverential belief of the great Christian verities. It is this side of his character which has exposed him to much animadversion at various periods of his life ; but looking back on the whole life of our brother who has gone before, and weigh ing all that he has done, dwelling on the sweet hymns which spake the inner convictions of his soul, and thinking of his loving, kindly life, who is the bigot who will hesitate to say that he has had a great and difficult task committed to him by God, that he has laboured in it with singleness of purpose, and to allow, whether we agree with his theological conclusions or differ from them, that he has done his work well ? He has indeed, in my judgment, left for the generation that_ is coming a toielaouse of accumulated thought, from which many will loon have to draw their armour in hours of impending THE DEAN OF CARLISLE ON THE IRISH CHU.RCH. Dr. Close has issued a long address to the electors of Carlisle calling upon them to support the cause of the Church by voting for the Conservative candidate, Mr. Hodgson. The dean says: "You are, then, about to record your vote for or against the principle of an Esta blished Church ; that will be the effect of your rote, whether you intend it or not. Let me therefore entreat you not to cast to the winds the wisdom and the heritage which you have received from your fathers! They knew and appreciated the value of a Christian Church recognised by and interwoven with the secular authorities of the State. The principles of civil and religious liberty; which won for themselves a victory at the glorious Reformation, were held within these bounds. Protes tantisni assumed, not the character of voluntaryism, nor congregationalism, but the reformed faith constructed the Established Churches in England and Scotland, in Ire land, and in the various nations of Europe as it made its way among the peoples. Where, then, was the European Christian nation which in some form or other was destitute of a State or national Church? In this argument I have been grievously misrepresented. In a hostile journal (not in Carlisle) I am reported in a leading article to have said : ' Whenever godliness has laid strong hold upon a people, it has been through the agency of a Church Establishment'—whereas I was arguing exactly the converse of that proposition, and proving, by facts, that whenever the Christian religion had laid hold of a nation—whether it ascended from the people, or, as among our Saxon ancestors, it often descended from the rulers—whenever religion became general, a na tional Church was the result. I could not have been guilty of the blunder that a national Church converted the nation, but I did state and hold that, until our evil days, and not long before them, it was ever held that the State, the Government, the secular constitution of every Christian people, ought to have the form and sub stance of some national Church. Here, again, the term national, as applied to some form of Christianity, is misunderstood and misrepresented, A national Church Establishment may not at all times and places mean the Church of the whole people, or even of the majority of them. The phrase imports rather a State Church, and one hi that sense national—because the State represents and governs the nation ; and in our case that State, consisting of king, lords, and commons (but never, be it remembered, every individual of the land), embraced that form of Christian worship, and those rites and ceremonies which are still found in our Church—she became the Established Church by the will, law, and order of this whole realm. And unless that glorious constitution of Church and State be broken up and destroyed by the same authorities by which it was created, it remains with our Protestant Queen on her throne, reigning by virtue cf her Protestant principles and Protestant descent ; and woe to the man that draws away the first stone from the foundation of this consecrated edifice ! It is in this sense, and viewing an established religion in its true national and State character, that I affirmed and repeat, that any nation without some such political recognition of some form of pure Biblical Christianity is, as a nation, and in its national character, a nation without God I There may be hundreds or thousands of individuals in that nation most pious and good, but they are not the nation, nor its representatives, nor its constitutional authorities. Whether a Government be imperial or a monarchy, or an oligarchy, or republic, if it do not possess and confess in its corporate capacity some faithful Christian Church as the State Church, that nation, as a nation, is without God, and therefore godless ! . . . And with regard to the Protestant Episcopal Church of Ireland, what has she done to merit this sweeping violation of all her rights, possessions, and privileges ? She is the Church of the minority ! And what of that, if she is the Church of the truth? And if she has not enlarged her borders, the British Government is chiefly to blame, for it has always frowned on proselytising in every shape. The measure proposed is an unprincipled robbery of a faithful and unoffending Church ; a Church beloved by thousands of the poor Romanists themselves, though but few dare express their feelings. As David said of his ene. mies, 'I paid them the things which I never took,' so it the property of the Irish Church is taken from them and given to the Romanists in any shape or form, they will take of the things which never belonged to them. Our House of Lords will stand between her Majesty and such an insulting proposition. Yes, I have my hopes that the good sense of the commonalty of the English nation will see through this trap laid for them, by which they might strike the first blow at our religious constitu• tion. If you, my good friends—the majority of whom I feel sure have no love for Popery—will stand to your post of duty, and say, as many influential Liberals have already declared, that, though staunch to your general principles, you cannot in this instance allow them to carry you away into revolutionary action, the House co Commons itself may yet be spared the disgrace of up rooting that which their wiser forefathers planted, and breaking down defences which form the principal barriers against the inroads and arrogance of Rome. That crafty Power now joins the hue and cry against Establishments, knowing full well that if only Protestant Established Churches are swept away, an open field will be left for her manceuvres by which of old she enslaved the nations of her will!" SHOCKING MACHINERY ACCIDENT TO A YOUNG 117.011 AN.—A shocking accident haprened on the premises of Mr. Blythe, feather merchant, Henry-street, Liverpool, on Saturday. A young woman, named Teresa Haden, was engaged in a room in which was some machinery worked by steam power, when she was caught by the strap attached to the rapidly-turning wheel, dragged in amongst the machinery, and half torn to pieces. AN AIqUSING PRACTICAL JOKE.—The Figaro publishes an account of a practical joke which, unlil:e most practical jukes, has the merit of being amusing. An enthu siastic sportsman went to a breakfast given in sign of the commencement of the shooting season. The talk was of game, when suddenly in rushed a servant exclaiming to the host that a hare had been seen moving about en the lawn. Out went the enthusiastic sportsman, gun in hand, fired at the hare, and missed him. The hare, scratching his nose, stood p n his hind legs, presented a horse-pistol at the enthusiastic sportsman, and fired in return. No one was hurt ; but the enthusiastic sportsman was naturally astounded, until at last it was explained to him that the hare was a performing animal which had been hired from a neighbouring show. The sports man's charge had, of course, been tampered with by the confidential scry„nt.
