TEETH and PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- - The
fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter
very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital impor-
tance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a
practice founded in 1830, and now extending over greater part of
the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, en-
abling us to offer even the most sensitive safferer • system of
dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a speetelite
patenting only to our practice, and for which her Majesty has
panted her royal letters patent The system embraces the non-
interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting
lanced of extraction of loose teeth until they become firm and
meful In mastication, and the utter absence of all and every
operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied with-
out fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are shower,
mom durable, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.

THE SOCIETY OF Aim. —At the last meeting for
the session of the Society of Arts yesterday evening, a very
interesting paper on " Popular Errors concerning Austra-
lia" was read by the Hon. Charles Gavan Duffy. The
hon. gentleman vindicated the government of the colony
and the colonists from the charges respectively of insta-
bility and a desire for change, and refuted the statement
that the sudden changes of government were attributable
to the extension of the franchise. An interesting debate
followed the reading of the paper. Mr. Marsh, M.P.,
drew a dismal picture of the condition of society in the
colony. New South Wales and Victoria were in a state of
financial and political retrogression ; property was inse-
cure, the magistracy unfitted for their duties, and the
members of the legislature venal and corrupt. Mr. Duffy
asked the hon. gentleman to adduce a single proof of the
latter charge, which request Mr. Marsh did not comply
with. Mr. Hart, late chief secretary of South Australia,
followed, and combated the opinions of Mr. Marsh, stating
that South Australia was never in a more prosperous
financial condition than at present, and that universal
suffrage and the ballot worked admirably in it. Sir John
Gray, M.P., made some pertinent observations with re-
spect to the alleged insecurity of property in Australia ;
and the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the
Hon. Mr. Duffy
-for his able paper.
DEATH OF Mr. J. R. Pless, OF HILL.—On Sun-
day last this venerable gentleman, whose name has for
many years been associated with the commercial progress
and prosperity of this port, and also with every philanthro-
pic institution of the town, breathed his last, at his resi-
dence, Hessle Wood. By his death a gap has been made
in many a circle, both religious and commercial, which will
not be easily filled. Yr. Pease was the head of the emi-
nent banking firm of reams, Hoare, and Pease, of this
town, and for many years he was one of the most active
members of the board of directors of the Dock Company.
He was also the chairman of the Hull and Selby Railway
Company, besides being the holder of several other impor-
tant offices. By the death of Mr. Pease the Bide Volunteers
of Hull have lost a true friend, for although the deceased
was only connected with the corps indirectly, his son (Mr.
J. W. Pease) being the lieut.-colonel, the members have
frequently experienced hishospitality. On several occasions
they have been invited to Hassle Wood, when they met
with a true old English welcome. With a spirit of the
greatest generosity the beautiful grounds were thrown
open on these occasions, not only to the friends of t
ie
volunteers, but to the public generally. The esteem in
which Mr. Pease was held in Hull has been manifested by
the number of flags, half mast high, which have been
hoisted on the shipping in the docks, the dock-office, the
Trinity-house, and other places.—Eastere CounnesHerrild.
THE DEAD RRSTORED TO LIVE.—As, en route, I
had to pan by the little village of Verdiersville, where, it
will be remembered, Ilbad such a narrow escape in August,
1862, I stopped to pay my respects to the kind lady who
had so courageously assisted me in my retreat. I had
never failed to do so whenever chance brought me to the
neighbourhood, and always found myself received with
the most cordial welcome. On this occasion, however, I
was not destined to meet the same kind of reception ; for,
instead of the cheerful greeting to which I had been ac-
customed, the old lady, as soon as she caught sight of me,
turned suddenly pale, and, with a loud shriek, fled into
the house. Puzzled beyond measure at so extraordinary
a proceeding, I pressed for an explanation, when a Rich-
mond paper was handed to me and my attention directed
to a paragraph commencing, " Among those who fell at
the battle of Chancelloreville we regret to report the death
of Major von Backe," &c. Here followed a flattering
estimate of my personal qualities and a minute ac-
count of my death. My amiable friend was so
firmly impressed with the fact of my demise that
when I accosted her she believed it was my ghost ;
and even during our subsequent interview I found some
difficulty in persuading her of my identity. The rumour
of my having- been killed spread over the whole country,
and was accepted as true by every part of our army where
I had not been seen since the battle, and the regret ex-
premed at my loss, and manifest pleasure exhibited by
soldiers and citizens to know me still among them, ad-
ministered not a little to my self-esteem. Besides the
many letters of condolence and offers received by Stuart
on my account, greatly to his amusement, a request was
despatched by Governor Letcher to General Lee to have
my body forwarded, and claiming the privilege of having
it interred with all the honours of the State of Virginia.
To this demand, General Lee sent the following charac-
teristic reply : " Can't spare it : it's in pursuit of Stone-
man."—Mackwood's Magazine for June.
