their duties, and would be able to enter upon them without
finding the work arduous and difficult. And how were they
off in time of peace ? He thought their looks were a suffi-
cient answer to that question. They had a comfortable ad-
dition to their annual income in their retainer, and on re •
turning from a voyage they could come on board that ves-
sel, and for four hours' healthy exercise per day during four
weeks they could get a guinea per week. He thought there
was not a man among them who was not more healthy,
strong, cheerful, end better in pocket for attending the ser-
vice than he was before; and if any man would not say so
he knew his wife would. (Laughter and cheers.) The
gallant captain, having eulogised the Admiralty fur having
originated and fostered the scheme for a Reserve force, said
that Bristol might justly be proud of her contribution to
this means of national defence. She gave the first man,
and now, thanks to the exertions of Captain Smith, the
shipping master, and the powerful support of the press,
there was scarcely an eligible sermanin Bristol unenrolled ;
while, for respectability of character and efficiency in drill,
he believed the force of the port was not second to that of
any in the kingdom. He had no wish to make invidious
comparisonsknowing wthitahtotahmeornpgartths,ebumtany hundred man drilledho felt much satisfaction
in
there during the 2i years he had been connected with
that ship there had been very few cases of inattention, and
not one of insubordination or disrespect to himself. His ad-
vice to them was to keep up the same spirit ; as Bristol gave
the first man, so let them keep her first in respectability,
good conduct, and efficiency of the force, and let every anni-
versary as it came find them more and more worthy of that
force which he was sure they were all proud to call theirs.
(Cheers.) He wished them all sincerely a " Happy New
Year," and he could only say for himself that wherever
Providence might place him, and to whatever ship the Ad-
miralty might appoint him, he should always be glad to see
under his command any one of those who now composed the
force of the Bristol Royal Naval Reserve. (Loud cheers.)
Three hearty cheers for the gallant captain, Dr. Fegan, and
the other officers were given, and die proceedings terminated
with three times three for the Queen.

surpasses itself in its New Year's number. In ad-
dition to its usual plentiful supply for feminine in-
formation and amusement, we have a supplement
stocked with all the wonders of dress and fancy
work, two large coloured plates of fashions, and a very
pretty musical melange, containing six or eight new and
lively airs for the festive dances of the season. We should
imagine that this number must secure a large circulation.
Mr. Beeton also provides for the entertainment of that
boisterous class now " home for the holidays" by his Boys'
Own Journal, Boys' Monthly Magazine, and other works of
that class. The latter has a frontispiece illustrating a very
awkward dilemma in which a boy and a serpent have
mutually fount themselves. How they ever got into such
a position, and why, being there, the serpent did not suc-
ceed in crushing the boy, or the boy in making his escape,
are considerations somewhat perplexing to the casual ob-

TEETH.-Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set or teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-
tise explaining Mr. Eskell's Patent, &c., free for 7 stamps.

—This magazine is especially interesting as partly
answering the demand for female employment. It
is entirely printed by women at the Caledonian
Press, Edinburgh, and it certainly reflects the
highest credit on its feminine compositors. The contents too
are well assorted and well worth reading, many of the papers
showing talent of a high degree.

LE FOLLET.—The costumes in this gracefully
embellished serial are as fascinating as ever, and
exhibit the vagaries of fashion in their most captivating
form. The letterpress is of average merit.

The several useful and popular works now issuing by
Messrs. Cassell are continued with unabated spirit. The
Illustrated Bunyan is a really beautiful work. The Popular
Educator will be a useful friend to marry a poor student,
while The Illustrated History of England and The Popular
Natural History afford information in the shape of animated
and agreeable reading. The Soma/ Science Review contains
a variety of useful papers, the most prominent of which are
those on the diseases of overworked men and violent deaths
and suicides in France. The Gardeners' Weekly Magazine
is, as usual, overflowing with information, and the Post
Magazine Almanack will be found of great service by the
commercial community.

having taken from him the wand, the gold chain,
and collar of S S, invested Peter Paul M'Swiney
with these visible signs of office, and that gentleman
then took his seat as Lord Mayor for 1864 amid
loud cheering. The new Lord M4yor then ad-
dressed the Council, expressing his thanks for the
honour he had rec Lived. He seemed to have caught
something of a fiery and martial spirit from the
national emblems which met his eye in the proces-
sion, as appears from the following passages in his
speech :—" I am proud to be called on to preside
over a city which not only rightly claims to be the
second city in the empire, but which has many noble
and distinguished qualities which would entitle it
to be the first. If the absence of grievous crimes, of
those unnatural atrocities, of those dark revelations
which give en unenviable notoriety to other cities,
and which pollute the atmosphere of the people who
_ _

live in them—if the absence of all those hideous
deformities give Dublin a claim to a high place,
most certainly Dublin will not be second to any city
in the world. If that appreciation of the sanctity of
domestic life which forbids the presence of a Divorce
Court—(cheers)—if the absence of that massacre of
the innocents which takes place elsewhere, if high
and noble qualities among our public men—and
during my short career in this city I have had rea-
son to respect and admire the public men of Dublin,
not only the members of this corporation for their
zealous devotion to the discharge of their duties, but

there f and she replied, ' Then let us so.' She asked
Macdonald to go with us, saying, 'We shall have
plenty to drink ;' and she said, 'No, one man with
one woman is plenty,' and we then left Alacdonald,
and went round to Mr. Waddelow's, by the church
walk, through the little gate, into the George and
Star yard, which adjoins the malting premises, and
got on to the cow crib over the welt on to the
clerking in the malting-yard, in the manner co-
scribed at Inv trial and went into the lziln throtuli
the door which Smedley and I had left unionited.• She
(Brown) at that time was smoking a long pipe, end
when we riot into the furnace-room I drew a ouart
pitcher felt of gin out of the jug, and We sat down
on the settle and drank most et It, hut not all of it,
both of us t;rookinga We had eat clown hut half
an hour when I wanted to take libzrties with her,
but the would not let me. I pulled her off the
settle. She kicked and knocked about, and got hold
of my hair, and in the struggle I hit her on the body
with my fist, and she fell on the floor. I then kicked
her on the body more than once. She did not scream
out. I then felt so bad I did not know what to do, as
I felt I had killed her. I stooped down and got hold
of her and shook her, and found that she was really
dead. I then drank heartily of some more gin.
There were some sacks lying on the settle, which I
took off and pulled round her, and set fire to them
by putting a shovelful' of not cinders on the sacks.
I bat down. on a block against the furnace, and
watched the burning. After I had watched the
burning about an hour, I drank some more gin and
stirred up the burning sacks. I then sat down again
and went off to sleep I expect."

those gentlemen who conduct public boards, rail-
ways, banks,mining, and otherimportant institutions
of our country—if the possession of these ennobling
qualities entitles a city to a first place, surely Dublin
will not be the second. I cannot but hope that
daring-My-year of ()Tree I mitt-be etiabled-to- inert
that which the ex-Lord Mayor so nobly asserted
during his year of office—the claim of Dublin to its
proper position by prescriptive right of the second
city of the empire, and that you will all sustain me
whenever the citizens and our fellow-countrymen
are attacked by an alien press—by those who can-
not put pen to paper without maligning the charac-
ter of our country men, and taking advantage of the
few exceptions I have alluded to to represent us to
Europe as demons, as wretches hardly removed from
the lowest state of barbarism, and fit only to be
arrayed at one side or the other of the massacres
now going on in Virginia and Tennessee."
Sir John Gray, in a highly complimentary speech,
moved a vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor,
which was seconded by Alderman Atkinson, and
supported by Mr. Sullivan, who spoke in a similar
strain of eulogy. The Lord Mayor, in putting the
resolution, expressed his warm concurrence, and
said " a grateful nation would retain the memory of
his good deeds engraved on its heart for ever.'
The ex-Lord Mayor responded, and referred to his
conduct during his year of office. He marred the
effect of his speech on such an occasion by referring
rather bitterly to the " malicioas and paltry attacks"
made upon him daring the year.
After the necessary formalities were gone through
the procession resumed its progress through the
city, passing down Parliament-street, over Essex-
bridge, up Capel-street, Dorset-street, and round
by Sackville-street, over Carlisle-bridge, and back
to the Mansion-Louse.
