MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and'will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA.

The revolutionists have at length met with a severe
check. Later advices confirm the report that they had
been defeated in a battle near Puerto Principe. They lost
500 men, and the only two pieces of artillery they pos-
sessed were captured. Nevertheless, it does not appear
that this success is sufficient to retrieve the ground lost by
the Government troops. The insurgents still greatly out-
number the regular forces. In the neighbourhood of San-
tiago they have been joined by 800 filibusters, and their
force in that district is now increased to 10,000, against
1,800 Spanish soldiers. The insurgents have adopted a
new warlike arm. Some of them cooked a quantity of
food which had previously been prepared with strychnine,
and then retreated, expecting that the advancing Spaxiards
would swallow the bait.

The Havana correspondent of the .2rew York, Herald has
had an interview with some of the leaders of the revolu-
tion, in which he endeavoured to learn the exact objects
of the present rising. The Creoles were by no means
reticent. They entered into a detailed history of the
intrigues which had preceded the outbreak, stating that
the movement had been projected for many years, and hung
fire only through want of the proper opportunity. On the
conclusion of the civil war in the United States the Creoles
hoped that the American Government would exact repara-
tion for the conduct of the Spanish Government, which had
allowed Havana to be made the great market of the Con-
federates. The Washington Cabinet did not take this
course, and the Cubans then turned their attention to
Madrid, hoping without violence to gain the liberal
reforms which they desired. The abundant pro.
mises but scant performance of Isabella's Ministry
raised the standard of rebellion. The objects
of the insurrection are the independence of the
island, the establishment of a Cuban republic, the abolition
of slavery, and the ultimate annexation of the country to
the United States when its people are satisfied that it can
enter the Union as a sovereign State and remain so. The
chiefs complained that whilst Spain drew more money
from Cuba, it returned nothing in the way of liberal laws :
the island was considered a conquered country.

AN AMENDMENT OF DENISON'S ACT.

Mr. Flint, in writing to the Times on the necessity
for an amendment of Mr. Denison's Act, expresses
his belief that some of our public charities are so
badly administered that they pauperise instead of
benefit the community. The records of Lovejoy's
Charity at Canterbury shew that even felons and
vicious persons have received its gifts, and the mass
of the poor in Salisbury also are none the better for
the accumulated bounties which they receive. Mr.
Flint is, no . doubt, just in his strictures, but it is
noticeable that, while he thinks the administration of
charitable funds hopeless, he considers that all defects
of the poor-law system can be readily amended. He
disbelieves in the necessary connection between igno-
rance and crime, a degree of scepticism to which few
will attain ; but the amendment of the Act which he
calls for is excellent in its way. The poor-law
guardians are at present allowed to impose a condi-
tion upon the recipients of out-door relief—that their
children shall be sent to school. Mr. Flint would
make this condition indispensable to the granting of
out-door relief, a reform worthy of consideration ;
but it must be clearly understood to involve com-
pulsory education and local school-rates.

yet was the aforesaid spirited Consal satisfiel. He
had heaped humiliation upon humiliation. le had

got possession of the Viceroy's gunboat ; he lad got
the pillar engraved with the narrative of Chinese
discomfiture ; he had been received wit' salutes ;
he and his 400 marines (for they had iicreased
to that number) were entertained in a palace ;
but they had been taken through the bok streets.
So they intended on departing to arade the
principal streets, and to post far and tide a pro-
clamation announcing to all the Chines the defeat
of their rulers. Most magnanimous of spirited
Consuls

It shews how little Anglo-Chinese mderstand the
change which has come over British f.telng at home,
that the Shanghai correspondent of the Times
appends to his narrative a fulsone etlogy of Mr.
MEDirunST, together with the usual tirate against the
" intolerably insolent and obstructive' Mandarins,
whose conduct made the operaticns described
absolutely essential. This letter amears exactly a
week after Lord CLARENDON'S annourcement of the
new policy which is to be adopted in China. This
policy the leading journal had appro7(d, and it was,
therefore, bound to differ from it correspondent
as to the conduct of Mr. MEDRMST. Shanghai
says " great credit is due to \r. MEDatatsT,"
and, "it is fortunate that the Shanghai
consulate was so well filled at Ihe emergency."
Printing-house-square "confesses mile shame at the
whole of this victorious episod3 in our Asiatic
history." That, as we have said is the one sole
redeeming circumstance of this " niserable quarrel."
The only satisfaction that we can deive from it is that
in quarters where the prompt and caidign punishment
of "barbarian insolence" used to be ;onsidered the pro-
per sequel to British bullying, it isnow admitted that
"the virtua lcertainty that this couitry can compel the
Chinese to yield to any number of such demands as it
pleases to make ought to render its officers peculiarly
rigid in scrutinising the justice of elairna by bkcb
countrymen for vengeance." In a word, we have at
last learnt what our own great poet taught us 300
years ago—

It is excellent to have a giant's strength,
But it is tyrannous to use it like a giant.

But shame on us that China, the oldest empire in
the world, should have been compelled to call in the
aid of America, all but the youngest republic, to
instruct us ; that the Emperor of the Celestials should
have been forced to call in a Yankee to teach us
manners.

THE TURF.

According to "Meteor" the Turf has been living
too fast and is obliged to pull up. The glory of the
" plunging " days is over, " swells " have gone the
length of their tether; and Admiral bus's prophecy,
that the January entries would be very bad, has
turned out true. For all the 1,000 sovs. added to the
small sweepstakes of 25 sovs. each, 15 forfeit, there
are only a dozen four-year-olds and upwards
deemed good enough to nominate in this stake,
although all the great winners during the two
preceding years are penalised, and " maidens " are
allowed 71b. or 121 b. But for the superabundance of
gambling handicaps some twenty or thirty gentlemen
might have thought it worth their while to reserve
their second-rate horses for such a rich plum. Sir
Joseph Hawley evidently intends to lead the radical
reformers of the national pastime, for he has given
notice of his intention to move three bold resolu-
tions at the general meeting of the Jockey Club,
held in the Two Thousand week. They are to the
effect that no two-year-old shall rim in a handicap
throughout the year, or in any race before the lst of
July, or in a stake to which money shall be added
from the funds of the Jockey Club. But the great
question is the Derby—will it be run this year ? As
yet there is no certain answer, though the Daily
_Yews devotes two columns to the discussion of the
matter. One fact there is : a new course is being
made, and the Te/egraph believes that it will be
available by Epsom week.

A WOULD-NOT-BE ALDERMAN.

The Dissenters of the City of London used to
complain, and now boast of a peculiar kind of mar-
tyrdom which was imposed upon them by the enthu-
siastically " State Church" authorities. It was a practice
to fix upon some rich Baptist for sheriff. As he
could not take the oath of conformity he was mulcted
by fines to a considerable amount. The Council of
York seems to be determined to have a Mr.
Taylor for alderman, nolens volens. He refuses to
accept the post. For the luxury of refusing he is to
pay £5O.

THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA.

The revolutionists have at length met with a severe
check. Later advices confirm the report that they had
been defeated in a battle near Puerto Principe. They lost
500 men, and the only two pieces of artillery they pos-
sessed were captured. Nevertheless, it does not appear
that this success is sufficient to retrieve the ground lost by
the Government troops. The insurgents still greatly out-
number the regular forces. In the neighbourhood of San-
tiago they have been joined by 800 filibusters, and their
force in that district is now increased to 10,000, against
1,800 Spanish soldiers. The insurgents have adopted a
new warlike arm. Some of them cooked a quantity of
food which had previously been prepared with strychnine,
and then retreated, expecting that the advancing Spaakiards
would swallow the bait.

The Havana correspondent of the New York Herald has
had an interview with some of the leaders of the revolu-
tion, in which he endeavoured to learn the exact objects
of the present rising. The Creoles were by no means
reticent. They entered into a detailed history of the
intrigues which had preceded the outbreak, stating that
the movement had been projected for many years, and hung
fire only through want of the proper opportunity. On the
conclusion of the civil war in the United States the Creoles
hoped that the American Government would exact repara-
tion for the conduct of the Spanish Government, which had
allowed Havana to be made the great market of the Con-
federates. The Washington Cabinet did not take this
course, and the Cubans then turned their attention to
Madrid, hoping without violence to gain the liberal
reforms which they desired. The abundant pro-
mises but scant performance of Isabella's Ministry
raised the standard of rebellion. The objects
of the insurrection are the independence of the
island, the establishment of a Cuban republic, the abolition
of slavery, and the ultimate annexation of the country to
the United States when its people are satisfied that it can
enter the Union as a sovereign State and remain so. The
chiefs complained that whilst Spain drew more money
from Cuba, it returned nothing in the way of liberal laws :
the island was considered a conquered country.

ROME.

The General Council of the Church will ue held in the
right nave of the great edifice dedicated to St. Peter. The
stalls erected for the accommodation of the holy fathers
will cost some £9,000. Some of the South American bishops
are already preparing to leave their dioceses, and, according
to the Liberte, the arrival of prelates at Rome will continue
without intermission from the early days of April. Some
of them, it is thought, will not be able to remain until the
end of the deliberations. The labours set before the
Council are so immense that six months will not suffice to
complete them.

A private correspondent mentions a most remarkable
accident which took place in the Roman Campagna a few
days ago. On Sunday, January 3, an artillery officer
hired a horse for a ride on the Campagna. At a few
miles from Rome he dismounted, and while he was stand•
ing, with the reins in his hand, the ground under the
hcrse's hind legs suddenly gave way. The struggles of the
horse with his fore legs, and the efforts of the officer, who
held the reins until they broke, were alike unavailing.
After balancing for a few seconds on the brink, the horse
ft backwards, down what proved to be a deep well,
against the sides of which the horrified rider heard his
steed strike as it fell to a depth of at least a hundred feet.
It may readily be imagined that the officer was not a little
disquieted after this narrow escape from an involuntary
repetition of the fate of Metius Curtius.

A WOULD-NOT-DE ALDERMAN.

The Dissenters of the City of London used to
complain, and now boast of a peculiar kind of mar-
tyrdom which was imposed upon them by the enthu-
siastically "State Church" authorities. Itwas a practice
to fix upon some rich Baptist for sheriff. As he
could not take the oath of conformity he was mulcted
by fines to a considerable amount. The Council of
York seems to be determined to have a Mr.
Taylor for alderman, nolens miens. He refuses to
accept the post. For the luxury of refusing he is to
pay 1.:50.

31EUM ET TULTIII."

There are few pages of history more curious of their
kind than those which deal in the thefts—made con-
sciously or unconsciously—by authors. The instances
in which Byron copied Shakspere, Milton, Dante, &c.
are now well known to those interested in such
niqtcrs. But in these cases the poets had evidently
each hit upon the same thoughts in working out
similar ideas. There are not wanting those whose
fame—such as it is—has been made on another's
work. But we have seldom read of a more
impudent case of the kind than that recorded
in the Liverpool Mercury. A local orator has
been obtaining praise for research into the
question of languages, &c., on the strength of a pub-
lished lecture on the subject. Messrs.llotten, the
publishers, write, pointing out that the work is
simply a paraphrase of their " Slang Dictionary."
There are only about half a dozen " original " para-
graphs in the lecture, and of these one at least is the
result of a peep into a work by Mr. Mayhew.

LA TV COURTS RE-OPENED,

The brief Christmas vacation being over, the courts of
common law at Westminster and the courts of equity at
Lincoln's Inn were re-opened for business on Monday. In
the Queen's Bench, the Exchequer, and the Common Pleas
the judges sat in Banco. In Chancery the interest of the
proceedings centred in the new legal appointments. The
Lord Chancellor (Lord Hatherley) having in his private
room resigned into the hands of the proper official the
warrant which he held as one of the Lords Justices of
Appeal, Sir G. M. Giffard, late Vice-Chancellor, was
sworn in as his successor, and took his seat in 'court with
Lord Justice Selwyn, the latter occurying the place of the
senior judge. Mr. W. M. James, Q.C. (known at the bar as
Fat James), was sworn in as Vice-Chancellor, and took the
seat lately occupied by the new Lord Justice, in the pre-
sence of a crowded court. Mr. James will shortly receive
the customary honour of knighthood. Mr. Wickens, who
is still behind the bar, has received the appointment of
Vice-Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, vacated by
Vice-Chancellor James.

SPAIN.

some or the Madrid papers publish formidable estimates
' of the loss of life at the recent conflict in the streets of
Malaga. Not less than 1,000 combatants of both parties
have been killed or wounded, some estimates placing the
loss of the troops considerably higher than that of the
insurgents. The corpses of several women were among
the dead. Though the rising at Cadiz was more general
than that at Malaga, the resistance was equally
desperate. It is still matter of doubt how far this oppo.
sition to the Government was a party movement. Many
accounts state that the disarming of the militia was the
sole cause of the rising, and that men of all parties, the
rich and the poor, manned the barricades.
The National Republican Committee of Madrid has
published another manifesto, by no means such a pacific
document as the last. It is nothing less than a formal
act of accusation against the Provisional Government,
bitterlycomplaining that no Republican has been admitted
to the Ministry, that no citizen under 25 years of age can
vote, that the Juntas have been dissolved, and, in short,
that the Provisional Government have striven to convert
the great national movement of September into an ordinary
pronunciamento. This is not a satisfactory demonstration,
but the Republicans append a saving clause. They
exhort their supporters to make use of the voting paper as
their only wenp:n.

PUNS,

Amongst the " tendencies " which the Daily :Yews
has criticised of late, is the tendency of burlesque
writers to make bad puns. In doing so our contem-
porary quoted Johnson as the author of the maxim,
" lle that would make a pun would pick a pocket."
Since then letters have appeared from all quarters,
denying that Johnson was the father of the saying.
It is discovered that it was quoted before the time
. he wrote it. Mr. Moy
of Johnson, and he probably but uttered a
Thomas-n aownttributes saw whenit to Dennis, the critic and
wellii
opponent of Pope, and quotes a not very decisive
sentence from the poet on the subject.
London, England, 1869-01-12

A HOLIDAY GROUND IN DANGER.

English readers will peruse with no little regret
the account of the great landslip at Ragatz. Ragatz
stands at the mouth of the Tamina river, which
comes rushing in grand style through a gorge of
rocks. By the side of that river a road has been
engineered which leads to the far-famed baths of
Pfiifers, one of the best-known holiday grounds
of Europe. The road has a melancholy
interest in consequence of the sad accident
which took place some five years ago, when a
carriage containing some English ladies was over-
turned, and its occupants pitched into the roaring
stream beneath and drowned. According to the
telegram, some portion of the rocks, or at all events
the superficial earth, must have given way under the
incessant rains, and have choked up the river, which
has now become converted into a lake. But from the
nature of the ground the lake can be but a narrow
one, and what will happen when it becomes full, or
when the temporary barrier gives way ? Surely,
Ragatz itself must be in danger of being washed
into the Rhine

FOREIGN NOTES.
THE FRENCH BUDGET.

M. Magn4, French Minister of Finance, publishes a
highly pacific, and in some respects satisfactory, Budget
report. It announces that the floating debt has been
reduced from rather more than thirty-six millions sterling
to rather more than twenty-nine millions. The
indirect taxes have returned an increase of £1,360,000 on
the year. The supplementary credits required for 1869 will
be less than this increase. The estimates of the ordinary
Budget shew a surplus of £3,440,000, which will go
towards the extraordinary Budget.

THE REVENTJE OFFICERS BILL.

The London correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian says that the division in the Commons on
Wednesday on the Revenue Officers Bill is remark-
able for a circumstance which is said seldom to hap-
pen in political life. Mr. Monk had reason to reckon
on the support of many members who eventually
voted against him, having been, as they one and all
declared, converted to the opposite view to that
which they previously entertained by the telling
speech of Mr. Gladstone.

THE JEWS OF TO-DAY.

The continuance of the ancient Hebrew race,
which has before now been cited to prove the truth
of Holy Writ, is not more remarkable than the way
in which they are now developing and taking a posi-
tion in the world. Their ambition to be rich has
given them power, and 00,000 of a race for a long
time hated and despised by every Christian, later
still unrecognised by those who disagreed with them,
are to-day represented in the Parliament of the
nation by seven members. On Thursday
Baron Lionel Rothschild laid the foundation-stone
of what will be a grand synagogue in the West-end
of London, in which the Jews may worship. They
have had no very grand building until now. This
appears strange when we remember that the richest
men of our time have been Jews. But this is to be
changed, and they are to be represented among the
churches of London by a Gothic-Nuresque building.
