ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The success of the Foreign and Colonial Government
Trust, which was formed in May, 1868, has called for an
extension of this mode of investment.
In compliance, therefore, with a general desire, it has
been determined to open a subscription for a second issue
not exceeding £600,000, in Certificates of £lOO, to bear 6
per cent. interest, to be issued at £BO.
The object, which is now well understood, is to give to
the Investor of moderate means the same advantages as
the large capitalist, in diminishing the risk of investing in
Foreign and Colonial Government Stocks, by spreading
the investment over a number of different Stocks, and
reserving a portion of the extra interest and the amounts
received in redemption as a Sinking Fund to pay off the
original capital ; and, in addition, to give to each Sub-
s3riber a pro rata participation in the ultimate reversion in
these different Stocks, which will remain when the return
of the original capital has by these means been accom-
plished.

The Trust of the Second Issue will last for twenty-five
years, at the expiration of which time it is estimated that
a large proportion of the Certificates will, in all probabi-
lity, have been paid off, and that a large proportion of the
Stocks will still remain for distribution as a reversion ;
accordingly the Trust will be wound up as soon as all the
Certificates have been drawn, or at the end of twenty-five
years, whichever shall first happen, the remaining Stocks
being then sold, and any Certificates not previously drawn
being first paid off, after which the balance will form the
reversion to be distributed pro rata.
.

For each £BO of the total amount subscribed will be
issued a Certificate of £lOO with Coupons attached, bearing
5 per cent. interest, payable at the Banking-house of
Messrs. Glyc, Mills, Currie, and Co. half yearly, on the
15th of January and the 15th of July, the first Coupon fur
the proportion of the half year falling due on the 15th
July next.
In addition to the Interest Coupons, a Coupon, repre-
senting the share accruing to the Certificate-holder in the
above reversion, will be attached to each Certificate. This
Coupon of Reversion will be retained by the holder when
the Certificate is drawn, and entitle him to a pro rata divi-
sion of the ultimate reversion.

The advantages of the investment may bo summed up
as follows: •

1. interest at £6s. bs. per cont. on the :amount sub-
scribed.
2. A bonus of £2O per cent. by the repayment of capi-
tal at par.
3. A revel sion, eventually divisible among the holders
of the Coupons of Reversion.
Application to be made in the annexed Form, accom-
panied by a deposit of £lO per cent.
Payments to be made as follows :
On application £lo 0 0
On allotment 7O 0 0

PAINLESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY,
by Mr. B. L. MOSELY, the Dentist by special appointment,
312, REGENT-STREET, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic, and
23, MOORGATE-STREET, CITY. Established 1820. This, the most
perfected system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by
Mr. B. L. Mosely, is recommended by the Hospitals and adopted
by the profession as one of the greatest improvements of the age
for the alleviation of pain and restoration of the natural functions,
can solely be obtained in such perfected success (the result of
forty years' practical experience) at his only residences, as above.
The superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity from
pain, no operations, stumps and decayed teeth rendered useful,
loose teeth and tender gums protected. Qualities: These teeth
never change colour or decay—in fit unerring - ease and comfor t
unsurpassed —detection impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully
studied - and youthful appearance restored—mastication and arti-
culation guaranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says :—" So good
an imitation becomes the next best thing to the original." Teeth
from 55.; sets, sto 30 guineas. Consultation free.—Only addresses,
312, Regent-street, exactly facing the Royal Polytechnic ; and 23,
Moorgate-street, E. C., opposite the Star Insurance Office.

COINAGE BILL. ii`'•
On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
The Duke of RICHMOND asked why silver had been
omitted from the bill.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the omisssion of silver
arose from its being found that the profit would be
larger if silver was not dealt with as gold was treated by
the bill.

Lord KINNAIRD moved that the bill be referred to a
select committee, as he considered the measure had not
been sufficiently considered ; but, after a few words of
explanation from the Marquis of Lansdowne, the motion
was withdrawn, and the House went into committee os
the bill.

The bill passed through committee, but Lord Kinnaird
gave notice of his intention to move for a committee tc
inquire into the whole of the working of the Royal mint,

PAUPER EDUCATION.

Mr. W. WILLIAMS asked the President of the Poor-
law Board, whether his attention had been called to a
report in the papers of the proceedings of the Ellesmere
Board of Guardians, on Tuesday, Bth March, stating that
a letter was read from the schoolmaster, apply-
ing to the Board for a map of England and
Wales, also one of Palestine. The Board were
of opinion that it was not necessary for the
pauper children to learn geography, and therefore the
application was refused." And, whether the statement
was true and whether the conduct of the Board was
approved of by the Government.
Mr. GOSCHEN said his attention had not been called to
the subject by the newspapers, but in consequAce of the
hon. gentleman's question ho had made inquiry, and
lie found that the schoolmaster of Ellesmere
Union applied to the guardians for some
books, slates, and maps. The first two
articles were supplied, but the maps were thought to be
unnecessary, as there were only six boys above ten and six
below in the school, and therefore the maps were thought
to be unnecessary. That was the cause of the refßsal,
and not that assumed by the hon. member. Thje
