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 5
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-
uriber 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. Glyn, Mills, Currie, and Co. half yearly, on the
15th of January and the 15th of July, the first Coupon for
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 bo 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 be summed up
as follows:

1. interest at £6s. bs. per cent. on the :amount sub-
scribed.
2. A bonus of £2O per cent. by the repayment of capi-
tal at par.
3. A reversion, 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-STRI T, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic, and
23, MoORGATE-STItEET, 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.

Miss Morgan, of London (according to the North
German Correspondent) lately passed the Doctor disputa-
tion at Zurich with great éclat, before an audience of
more than 400 persons. She is the second lady who has
obtained the M.D. diploma at that university.

The master joiners of Glasgow have agreed to hold
a conference with their workmen, who are on strike. It
has been ascertained that in that town there are upwards
of 500 men employed on the masters' terms, and every
day witnesses the arrival of others who are willing to
take them.

Sooth to say, the conviction of Mr.
Felinelly is hot regarded as a very great
triumph of justice by the chief journals of both
parties. The Daily News is most moderate, for
though it confespes that Mr. Fenneily has been con-
victed of an offence for which hundreds
no • scot - free, yet justice, 'it holds, must
b a welcomed at any cost. The Times
however, declares that the prosecution has been at-
tended with very incomplete success. The conviction
of an agent is not worth the machinery that was put
In operation. "We begin to despair of any good from
inquiries and prosecutions. The persons bribed are too
numerous and obscure to be punished with any good
effect, and the worst of the bribers—the very master
spirits of corruption—always contrive either to obtain
indemnity in return for their evidence, or to escape
by some ingenious device of their own or some
mischance of their opponents." The Standard
calls the affair a complete farce, and
hopes it will not be carried any further.'
"Mr. Vanderbyl anuitted, there is not the ghost of
a chance .of a conviction in any other case, and the
sooner a tabula rasa is made of the reports of the
Bribery Commissioners•the better will be the prospect
of an44l.rly attainment of real purity of election;

JUDGE LONGFIELD 011 mint LAND. •;'•
A letter is published from Mr. Longfield, formerly
Judge of the Landed Estates Court, to an Irish M.P.,
on the subject of the land question. The provisions
of the first three clauses of the bill before
Parliament are compared with proposals
made by the writer himself for establishing
a " parliamentary tenant-right." The clause as to
the Ulster tenant-right, says he, cannot be carried.
out. The difficulty lies in the vagueness and non-
existence of the Ulster tenant-right. The custom
varies in different estates, and even in different farms
on the same estate. The bill will make the Ulster
Custom legal; but there is no holding or farm on
which it may be said that any usage prevails as to
compensation to outgoing tenants. It seems that
the only boon to be given to the tenant is
the right of going to law, by which he may
manage to get some compensation. The country
will be kept in a chronic state of litigation. Parlia-
ment delegates its duty to assistant barristers, and
directs them to lay down the principles the Legisla-
ture ought to define.
