TEETH.—By MR. ESKELL'S INVENTION
(Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial
Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by tne closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth
were re-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the ); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed to last a life
time, as well as for mastication and articulation. Mr.

freCiuested him, nevertheless, to profit by what-
ever unofficial relations he might entertain with
influential persons in the country, by intimating to
them the danger of all aggressive projects and of an
alliance with revolution ; besides urging upon them
the necessity of order, moderation, and the main-
tenance of the monarchical principle, as being alone
capable of saving Greece from anarchy.
Nevertheless, in spite of the satisfactory inter-
change of ideas which had taken place between the
cabinets, their intentions had been prejudged, their
dispositions canvassed, their decisions anticipated ;
names had been put forth, and party having made
use of these materials as a rallying cry, much agi-
tation had been excited in Greece.

Under these circumstances the Imperial cabinet
thought it might be useful to make the under-
standing of the cabinets advance a step upon the
course to be followed in common.

With this view it appeared opportune to associate
events with the provisions of the conference of Lon-
don at the precise point where the facts accom-
plished had broken off their connection.

A treaty had been concluded between the three
protecting Powers ; it had called King Otho to the
throne and settled various eventualities connected
with the Bavarian dynasty.
It seemed to us that the first step to be taken was
to make a collective representation to the Court of
Munich, asking whether, under the existing cir-
cumstances, it was in a position to maintain the
rights arising from the decisions 01 the Conference
of London, and if it was prepared to offer a candi-
date who would fulfil the conditions imposed by the
Hellenic constitution, and confirmed by the treaty
of London.

Without meaning by this any coercion, or even
any peremptory injunctions towards Greece, we
thought that such a measure would, at least, be a
useful point of departure for a collective action
by the three courts, based upon engagements re-
sulting from previous diplomatic transactions, and
calculated to reconcile, as far as possible, existing in-
terests with recognised rights.
While this was under consideration on the 6th
(18th) of November, the English ambassador trans-
mitted to us a proposal from his court, having for its
object, Ist, to declare by collective act of the three
Courts, that no prince connected with any of the
three reigning families be eligible for the throne of
Greece; 2d, to ask whether we considered the Duke
of Leuchtenberg as included in this exclusion.
Regarding the first point, we had already made
the Cabinets of London and Paris acquainted with
the determination of his Majesty the Emperor to
remain Aithful t 9 the engagement contracted in

The movement which was produced with this
object had acquired a character such that the popu-
lar enthusiasm, anticipating the period &tire meet-
ing of the Assembly, appeared at the point of
abruptly solving by a plebiscitum a question the
solution of which had been originally committed to
the delegates of the country.
In this situation, Which was in fact obviously re-
moved from the understanding entered into in prin-
ciple between the three Courts, the Imperial Cabi-
net, desiring to remove on its part all cause of mis-
understanding, hastened to confirm, by a telegram
addressed on the 13th (25th) November to the Rus-
sian Minister at Athens, the preceding communica-
tions, which informed him of the full maintenance
of the principle which interdicted the then Greek
throne to the members of the three reigning fami-
lies, adding that the English Cabinet had thought
it desirable to recall at Athens the existence of this
understanding. Count Blondow was requested to
explain himself in this sense, after having con-
ferred with his colleague of France,if the English
Minister received directions to take this step.

We have, in fact, been informed that our repre-
sentative at Athens and the French Minister have
made to the Provisional Government a declaration
in this spirit.
The English Minister appeared to have received',
instructions to act later—that is to say, after the
signature of the notes exchanged between the Cabi-
nets of Russia and England on the 22d November
(4th December).
In order to obviate all kind of doubt as to our at-
titude, not only did the Imperial Cabinet bring to
the knowledge of the Cabinet of London the direc-
tions with which. M. Blondow was furnished, but
also the representatives of his Majesty the Emperor
at Paris and at London received on the 18th (30th)
November, by means of the telegraph, directions to
declare that we had never proposed the candidature
of the Duke of Leuchtenberg ; that for us this can-
didature did not exist politically, whatever interpre-
tation the treaty might receive, and that in conse-
quence nothing could prevent the three Courts from
deliberating on the choice of possible candidates for
the throne of Greece,

The Government of her Britannic Majesty having
shown itself fully satisfied with this declaration, our
ambassador proposed to embody it in a reciprocal
engagement. Notes to this effect have been signed
and exchanged on the 22d November (4th Decem-
ber) between the Ambassador of Russia at Lon-
don, and the principal Secretary of State of her
Britannic Majesty. They recall the engagements
which exclude from the Hellenic throne the members
of the three reigning families, and declare that it is
mutually agreed that any election of the Duko of
Leuchtenberg or of Prince Alfred shall be null and
void. The French Cabinet has been invited by the
two Courts to adhere to this engagement.
Such, Monsieur, is the course which the Imperial
Cabinet has adopted from the origin of this crisis
up to its present development. It has been inspired,
as you may be assured, by the general principle
' which actuate the policy of our august master—
namely, that the maintenance of a frank and loyal

The Rev. Dr. CAIRNS, who moved the first reso-
lutiop, said one of the characteristic signs of the
present age yas the great progress of discovery in
opening up regions of the earth which had hitherto
beedthermetically sealed even to the eye of intelli-
gence:, It was4csuggestive faieto his mind that
the succNkfttil exploration'af Central Africa and the
IM great Andian continent had been reserved fur
the present day—that until now those immense
dominions had been unknown lands to the civilised
world. The friends whose success they had met
to celebrate that evening would henceforth have
their names enrolled with those of Mitchell,
Leichhardt, &tut, Gregory, and Burke and Wills,
who had sacrificed their life to their zeal. (Hear,
hear.) To the two latter explorers belonged the
praise, which time would never obscure or diminish,
of having solved the practicability of traversing
that great continent from south to north. The
names which he had mentioned constituted a bril
liant catalogue, and he ventured to think that no
inferior splendour would henceforth illustrate the
names, now familiar as household words, of Stuart,
Landsborough, and M'Kinlay, and the name of
King ought also most assuredly to be included.
(Cheers.) Without deliberation they undertook
the arduous task assigned them, and faced its
hazards. They had to contemplate hard privations,
and it might be disease, accident, or even a linger-
ing and lonely death. These were the terms, the
necessary terms, on which they engaged in their un-
certain and perilous speculation. Their wonderful
success, under God, was owing to their foresi4ht,
prudence, and, for want of a better word, he would
say their bush experience. The result of their ex-
plorations had been immense, for they had probably
tripled, or even quadrupled, the extent of territory
in Australia available for settlement, and added
greatly to the resources of the country. The advan-
tages thus secured for pastoral purposes were be-
yond all calculation, though they could not now be
appreciated as they would hereafter. They de-
served well of their country. In all ages such ser-
vices as they had rendered had been regarded as na-
tional benefactions. The principle of the state re-
warding such services had been recognized in this
colony, and had been reduced to practice. Recom-
pense was decreed by parliament to the discoverers
of new gold fields, and the admirable constitution of
this colony had provided a most soothing consola-
tion, in the shape of £l,BOO per annum, to requite
the devotion of those self-secrificing spirits who con-
sented to bow their studious heads and delicate
shoulders to the responsibilities of government for
the weary space of two whole years. (Laughter.)
If such were the case, what was the debt which the
country owed to those great national benefactcrs—
the explorers ? Their discoveries had opened the
eyes of the people of Australia to the fact that God
bud given them a most wealthy inheritance, which
might be compared to the whole world in miniature.
It had the best of every clime under the sun, and
the gifts of nature were scattered with great pro-
fusion. As to the precious metals, it might turn out
that what had been found was only an earnest of
what was to follow ; but there could be no doubt
that Australia was to be the wool grower of the
whole world, and that it would grow cotton to feed
all the mills of England. He concluded by moving
—" That this meeting begs in the most cordial man-
ner to welcome the explorers, Messrs Landsborough
and M'Kinlay, on their safe return, and to express
admiration of the many excellent qualities displayed
by them in the prosecution of their arduous enter-
prise, and considers that it is a duty to acknowledge
the hand of Divine Providence in preserving them
in the midst of danger."
Mr. KING, who was received with great accla-
mation, said it afforded him much pleasure to be
present on that occasion, and join with so many of
his fellow colonists in congratulating Mr. Lands-
borough and Mr. M'Kinlay on their safe ar-
rival in Melbourne. (Applause.) He was the
more glad to offer his congratulations, because he
knew the arduous nature of the journey which
M'Kinlay had Messrs. Landsborough. and
accom-
plished. He was little accustomed to appear or to
speak in public, but he should have been sorry to
miss this opportunity of expressing his thanks to
Mr. Landsborough and Mr. M'Kinlay for the man•
ner in 'which they had endeavoured to come to the
relief of the party of which Burke and Wills were
at the head. However successful they might have
been in that expedition, they could have been of
very little service to Burke and Wills, for it would
have been impossible to reach them in time to save
their lives. He had much pleasure in secondingthe
resolution, and in congratulating Messre, Lands-

Mr.'AerrirALL, M.L.A., proposed the second re-
solution;-4" That this meeting recognises the good
services rendered by the governments of SOuthAus,
tralia at ';Queensland, in organising these contin-
gent expeditions with a view to discover,and assist,
the missing party, under the lamented Burke and
Wills."" Whilst the meeting recognised, these gal-
lant men--=Landsborough and Mainlay—men of
heroisntntrethe colonies which they repretsented— •
they ought also to recognise in them .a manifesta-
tion on; thepart of the neighbouring colonies of a
hearty sympathy in a matter concerning the general,
welfare of Australia. (Applause.) While, doing ,
honour to the men themselves, they ought to express
their giatefnlness to the go'vernments and the peo-
ple who ctiOse_thent foi the work which they had
performed. The explorers, however, must be re-
garded as the representatives of the sentiment and
the feeling of the colonists who had sent them forth.
In sending them forth those colonies were not in-
fluenced by any ideas of the acquisition of territory,
and whatever advantages they might have gained,
their primary object was to endeavour to rescue
Burke, and to assist the expedition of which those
unfortunate explorers were the leaders. While
admiring the heroism of Messrs. Landsbor. ugh and
M'Kinlay, let them add their tribute of admiration
to the colonies which had sent them forth to do the
work which they were so admirably fitted. to do.
The resolution was carried unanimously.
Dr. MACADAM, M.L.A., proposed the third reso-
-" That this meeting is persuaded that it is incum-
bent on the various Australian governments to
mark in some appropriate manner their sense of the
great merits of the leaders of the contingent ex-
ploration parties, and of the important result which
must flow from their discoveries ; and that a copy
of this resolution be forwarded for the consideration
of the respective governments." Some difference
of opinion, he said, had been manifested in refer-
ence to the manner in which the exertions of the
respective explorers should be recognised. He
himself had only had one opinion upon the
subject, namely that they should be re-
cognised through the legislature of the re-
spective colonies to which the explorers belonged.
In conclusion he trusted the governments of the re-
spective colonies would reciprocate in an adequate
manner the services which had been rendered by
the explorers ; he thought the gratitude of the go-
vernments of the respective colonies should also be
shown by their doing more to encourage immigra-
tion than they have hitherto done. Some two years
and a half ago the task of exploring the continent
was commenced in Victoria, and whetever might
be said derogatory to the management of the explo-
ration, the work had been accomplished—the con-
tinent was now marked out—and it only required
private enterprise to establish communication be-
tween every part of it.

Captain NORMAN, being loudly called for by the
meeting, made a few remarks indicating the cordial
unanimity in which he and Mr. Landsborough had
cooperated together, and mentioned that Monday
was the anniversary of their safe arrival at Car-
pentaria after the wreck of the Firefly in Torres
S ti sits.

The resolution was put and carried.
The proceedings then terminated, the meeting, in
response to Dr. Macadam, giving three hearty
cheers for the explorers.

Marquis de La Roche-Aymon, Vice President of the

. :--It appears that deceased was at home with
his friends on Sunday morning last, when his sister's
sweetheart, named Williams, a young man engaged on one
of the large steam packets, called on a visit. He remained
for some time, when he was invited to dinner. The con-
versation between deceased and Williams turned upon the
subject of garotting, when the latter told deceased that
he would show him the way to secure a garotter. The
deceased stood up, when Williams went behind him and
pinn,:d him by the arms. At the same time Williams pulled
out a largo pocket knife, which he brandished in his right
hand ; and while he had the deceased secured behind he
said, " This is the way I would serve him." At the same
moment he plunged the blade of the weapon into the thick
or fleshy part of the thigh, severing the femoral artery.
The blood flowed from the wound very copiously, and no
time was lost in calling in a medical gentleman, when
Mr. Maunder, one of the senior surgeons of the London
Hospital, rendered temporary assistance, and suggested
the deceased's removal to that institution, whither he was
conveyed in an exhausted condition. Upon his arrival a
consultation was held, and it was decided to amputate the
right leg above the knee joint. The poor fellow bore the
operation with fortitude, being for a portion of the time
under the influence of chloroform. Mr. Maunder removed
the limb, but the deceased gradually sank, and died from
the absorption of pus into the injured parts. The haemorr-
hage from the wound was very great, as the femoral
artery waii ompletely divided,

In giving details of the wreck of the coal-laden Norwe-
gian schooner Saphea Key, from Newcastle to Christian-
sand, on the island of Unst, Shetland, the Norther n Ensigu
says :—"ln the course of the afternoon the vessel was ob-
served from North Unst lighthouse to be in a critical posi-
tion, under a heavy press of canvass, and labouring in the
sea. There was a heavy gale of wind at the time, and as
night came on fears were entertained that in beating up the
Firth she would not be able to escape. Those fears were
realised, as shortly after dark she missed stays, and soon
after ran alongside of a large rock, up which the captain
(J. Tarlsen) and four of the crew succeeded with great
difficulty in scrambling, leaving the mate on board. Dur-
ing the night the sea made almost a clean breach of the
rock, and two of the men were washed off at different times
and drowned. When morning dawned on the three sur-
vivors it revealed to them the imminence of their danger.
They found themselves without food or any means of
escape or signal, on a bare rock about 200 feet from the
shore, and in this condition they remained until Friday
night, cold, wet, and starving with thirst and hunger. As
night came on, one of the men proposed, as the gale had
somewhat moderated, to make an effort to reach the shore
by swimming, which he at last attempted, succeeding
with great difficulty in reaching the shore. The poor
captain, quite exhausted, seeing the successful issue of
the sailor's exertions, followed his example, and had
reached the shore in a state of exhaustion, when, owing to
his strength being entirely gone, and having to make an
effort to climb up the rocks, he fell back, and was speedily
carried away by the waves and drowned. The solitary man
left on the rock remained there. Meanwhile the other,
after resting for a short time, clambered up the face of a
precipice upwards of 100 feet high, from the top of which
he observed a light, to which ho directed his footsteps. It
turned out to be the house of Magnus Winwick, by whom
the suffering seaman was received with true Shetland hos-
pitality. Having told his tale, the alarm was instantly
given, and in a short time a boat was on its way to the rock
where the other sailor was left. There he was found, in a
very debilitated condition—so much so that he had to be
carried from the rock to the boat. Concluding that the
mate bad perished with the vessel, no attempt was that
night made to find out where she had been driven; but
early next morning several boats were manned and de-
spatched to the vicinity of the spot where she first struck.
She was found sunk, with the masts and rigging above the
water, and the signal flying. No trace of the mate was
obtained, till on further search the poor fellow was found
lying in the crevice of a rock, where he had been without
food since Thursday evening. He was instantly removed
to a comfortable house, where he and his two comrades re-
ceived every attention. By last accounts they had all quite
recovered, after making one of the most wonderful escapes
on record.
