73/ER. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
IVA_ 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 chat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

OMINOUS.

The Spectator is inclined to place a sinister Inter-
pretation upon the speech of the Marquis of Bar-
tington at Sheffield. The Postmaster-General's
principal point was an entreaty to all parties to lay
aside their political differences on the Irish Land
question. This subject must, the Marquis thinks,
be taken out of the region of party politics. And
why ? The better to secure the defeat of
all doctrines and principles, " hostile not only
to the interests of landowners, but of capitalists
of every description." This is certain to be inter-
preted, however it was meant, as a signal of distress
from the high landed interest in the Cabinet to the
same interest on the opposite side of the House. In
short, the Spectator calls this the first ominous crack
in the cohesion of the ruling party. It is curious that
whilst Lord Ilartington is talking in this strain, Sir
John Gray is appealing to Irishmen to bury
their differences and unite in favour of fixed tenure
in the shape of the Ulster tenant right.

A MAIIARAJAWS FIP,ST QUADRILLr.

The Indian papers just-to hand give a lively account of
A ball at Simla, improVised by the Maharajah of Jepore,
inlionour of the Viceroy of India and Lady Mayo. The
ball, we are told, opened with quadrilles. In the leading
double quadrille, the Maharajah had the honour of
having the Countess of Mayo for partner, in fact it
had been arranged that his Highness shorild open the
ball with her ladyship, and for fully a week previous)]
he had been under Terpsichorean instruction. Contrary
to the expectations of nearly all present, his Highness
acquitted himself remarkably well—with great composure
and such tolerable knowledge of the figures, that the very
worst that could be said of his performance would be that
It was stiff. His Highness, however, took a long time to
put on his white kids, a feat which he executed. without
the slightest hurry, though, at the moment, the ohserved
of all observers, for the other "sets:" had voluntarily
broken up, and, with the whole CompanY, ladies and all,
had grouped themselves round the leading.set, to see how
his Highness would get through his first ciiladrille. At first,
there was a slight inclination to titter, but it soon passed
away, for there was really nothing to laugh at, and when the
quadrille had concluded, the mriversal verdict was " that
Jeypore had done remarkably well 'rho bearing
of the Countess of Mayo was very kind and encouraging
and such as to make the native Prince feel that the great
honour vouchsafed him, was not grudgingly accorded.
Her ladyship once or twice, with a good humoured smile,
prevented the Maharajah from making a dancing blunder,
and the whole five figures of the quadrille (a simple
one) were got through without a single mistake. His
Highness " walked" through the figures somewhat slowly,
but with the most profound attention to the novel and
arduous task he had to get through. He is about thirty-
four years of age, low statured, and sickly-looking. -He
speaks English, but after the manner of one who has tried
to acquire it in adult years, and not been very successful.
His first quadrille is, however, a matter of great prospec-
tive social importance as regards the native population.

The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the,
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.

THE .2YETV ZEALAND GOLD-PIETLDS.

"Ow--

The New Zaland Examiner calls attention to the
extraordinary richness of the New Zealand goldfields. As
one instance :—" For some time previous to the end of
April the Long Drive Claim, now a company with a
capital of £5,000, in 1,000 shares of £5 each, £3 Cs. Bd.
paid up, had been declaring good dividends. During
May shares went up to £5O. On June 8 the same
figure is reported as market price. On July 2 they are
quoted at £l5O, and on the following day £l6O would
not purchase a single share. That this is not
the result of mere speculation, but a reality
arising from the intrinsic value of the mine, the
following statement of the gold obtained and the dividends
declared will show :—During the two months up to Juno
243 the yield of gold was over 6,375 oz., of the value of
216,376 ; but of this over 3,350 was the result of two small
lots of specimens, weighing altogether about 8 cwt. On
the 22nd ult. a meeting was held, when it was stated that
interim dividends of £1 and £3 per scrip had been already
paid, and a fut thee dividend of £4 was then declared. It
was also reported by the manager that a crushing
of 250 tons of general stuff was being proceeded
with, which promised a large return ; and that a speci-
men crushing would take place that week, from which
a dividend of £4 per scrip would be declared this day,
Tho deeper the ground is worked the richer is the stone.
The claim has only lately been prepared for stopping, and
when that operation is commenced there is every evidence
that the most fabulous returns will result."

DOINGS LN GAMBIA.

Another call has been made for inquiry into the
conduct of Admiral Patey, administrator of the
English settlement in Gambia. Some little time ago
several of the leading inhabitants of Bathurst, on the
river Gambia, made several serious charges against
the Admiral. They affirmed that by the severity of his
discipline, the prisoners in the gaol were subjected.to
unreasonable hardshipsrand that the treatment in one
remarkable instance occasioned death. The pri-
soners at Gambia are turned out of bed at half-rtst
five, and commence work immediately, not tasting
food until half-past nine. At that hour they get a
breakfast of plain boiled rice. They then continue
work until five, and after dinner are locked up in their
stifling cells—Gambia is within the tropics—at six.
This account, if correct, does indeed represent hard
treatment for petty offences. In addition, the inha-
bitants charge Admiral Patey with gross misconduct
on the occasion of a cholera attack. Owing to his
wilful neglect, the malady carried off one man in
ten amongst the troops and one in three of the
natives. The Colonial Office, when the complaint
was made, did not institute all inquiry, and
consequently the outcry is repeated. It is clear
enough that Admiral Patey has either done wrong
or has been grossly maligned.

ECONOMY.

The service papers are again alarming their readers
by predicting the suppression of various offices. The
most important of these prophetic ruminations this
week is the Broad Arrow's by no no means confident
statement that it is " just possible" that the
colonelcy of the Gth Foot and the lieutenant-
governorship of Chelsea Hospital, both ♦acant
by the death of General the Hon. Sir Charles
Gore, G.C.8., K.H., may fall a prey to the
reducing tendencies of the Government. From
other sources we learn that the First Lord of
the Admiralty, during his stay at Gibraltar, made a
close inspection of the Naval departments there,
" with the view of effecting considerable reductions
in their personnel and materiel." We are also
informed that gunnery sergeant instructors
and sergeant instructors at the various
gymnasia have had the pleasing intimation
conveyed to them that their staff pay for Sundays
will in future be stopped, as the Government gets
nothing from them on that day. The United Service
Gazette (and this is the end of our economic list)
says, amidst expressions of regret, that the rumour
of the suppression of the Chatham division of the
Royal Marines gathers force. Our contemporary does
not give absolute credence to it, however.

THE AMERICAN RAILWAY WARS•

The American railway wars still continue and the latest
phase is rather threatening. Some fifteen hundred men
have arrived at Scranton, from the neighbouring coal-
fields, their object being to prevent the miners of the
Delaware and Western Railroad Company from continu-
ing their work, No actual collision has yet occurred, but
volunteers have been enrolled to protect the miners.

A STAMPEDE OF CATTLE.

A serious accident is reported from Buffalo. A drove
of Texan cattle that bad been landed from a ferry-boat
stampeded and ran in every direction through the
streets. Many persons were severely injured, some
of them, it is feared, being fatally hurt. Five
or six of the infuriated animals were shot by the citizens
and some of them swam the Niagara River and dispersed
on the Canada side. Others, when the accounts were
written, were still running in the suburbs. About forty of
the cattle, which originally numbered ninety, were missing.
The stampede occurred about seven in the morning ; had
it been later in the day the consequences must have been
still mere serious.
London, England, 1869-09-13

PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.

The Army and 117avy Gazette does nob believe,
evidently, in the suppression of the Lieutenant-
Governorship of Chelsea Hospital. Our contem-
porary attributes the delay in the filling up of the
office to the absence of the Commander-in-Chief--
who, by the way, has just returned home—and sets
down that Sir William Codrington will have the offer.
Nor has the Gazette any information as to the sup-
pression of the colonelcy of the Gth Foot, for it says:—
" It is very likely that Lieutenant-General Sir John
Michel, now colonel of the 80th, may desire to be
again associated with the corps which he so long
commanded, in which case it is to be supposed that
the 86th Regiment will be given to Major-General
Robe, who is next on the list, and who, after a mili-
tary career of fifty-two years, much of which was
spent abroad, may, at least, look to have his reward
in his turn."

The following promotions are announced :
Lieutenant-General 11. E. Porter to be general ;
Major-General John Longfield, C. 8., colonel of the
29th Foot, to be lieutenant-general; Colonel T.
Tapp, C. 8., 103rd Bombay Fusiliers, to be major-
general; Major Sir John Cowell, K.C.8., Royal
Engineers, and of her Majesty's Household, to be
lieutenant-colonel ; and Captain R. D. Astley, 40th
Foot, Chief Inspector of Musketry in the Bombay
Presidency, to be major in the army.

THE ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY.

Our weekly contemporaries with ono accord con-
gratulate the Albert policy-holders on the prompt
decision they showed in getting rid of the liquidators'
scheme of reconstruction. The Spectator is delighted
with the style in which the wonderful project
of getting the policy-holders to form a new com-
pany, and presenting 20 per cent. of the profits to
the shareholders who had ruined them, was knocked
on the head. If there is to be reconstruction at
it will now be for the policy-holders themselves
to bring it about, with no friendly liqui-
dator to overlook the commissions and gratuities
by which the bankruptcy of the office w.ls so
greatly accelerated. The Remioniist is equally
pleased with the results of Thursday's meet;ng;
but is not sm,-Yiline for the future. It is still to be
feared that before any reconstruction can be agreed
upon, the Albert will have lost its best bminess by
the insurance of its young lives with other com-
panies. Ordinary prudence would counsel these
policy-holders to withdraw at once, and of the
remainder it will hardly be possible ever to make a
good business.

The Railway 11 errs regards the scheme of recon-
struction proposed by 31r. Sprague, Nice President
of the Actuaries' Institute, as the best that Las been
put forth. This plan is that the policy-holders
should insist upon having the whole of the assets of
the company, both those at present realised and all
that can be obtained from the sareholders, handed
over to their sole management, wholly free from the
control of those persons who have got the office
into difficulties. Then there will be divers courses

open. But the best, Mr. Sprague thinks, will be
to make an arrangement with some office of st'bility
to administer the fund for the exclusive benefit of
the policy-holders themselves. It is probable that
such an arrangement could be made on the terms
that the office should receive a small percentage of
all the renewal premiums payable, this sum to cover
all charges. Such a plan will be better than found-
ing a separate office on the ruins of the old one,
involving cost of clerks, secretary, directors, &c.
The goodwill must be lost in this way ; but then the
goodwill of the Albert is worth nothing.

on the second day it was clearly proved that Maria

THE 1864 CABLE.

Operations with the Atlantic Cable,of 1860 are
not very promising just now. This cable has been
injured at the shore end near-Valentia, and for some time
a steamer has been employed in the attempt to lift and
repair it. A. day or two ago the cable was grappled
and brought up, but while the crew was hauhng it
in it broke and fell back in 150 fathoms of water.
This is the fifth time it has been broken. Of course
this accident must render future operations still more
tedious and difficult.

TILE GUARDIANS AND THE LAND
The Dublin Guardians have just had the land
question under consideration. It was expected that
the debate would be extremely severe, for political
parties are pretty equally represented in the Board,
and guardians, it is known, when they do fight,
fight stoutly. But the proceedings turned out to be
of the most harmonious description. A resolution of
a mild sort, claiming for the agricultural tenant
"that right of continuous occupancy which will
stimulate him in his industry," but promising full
pmtectlon to the vroprietary rights of the landlords—
was made the subject of a very temperate discussion.
Some of the guardians wanted Government loans to
enable the tenant to buy land ; others thought fixity
of tenure the great remedy; others held that
landlords ought to claim to improve the land them-
selves, instead of letting it at a moderate rent, and
then increasing the price as soon as the tenant had
made improvements. But everybody felt disposed to
agree to the safe resolution on which the debate had
been grounded.

THE BISHOPRIC OF CARLISLE.

The rumour that the Ven. Archdeacon Durnford
has been appointed the new Bishop of Carlisle turns
out to be a fabrication. The Mancheeter Courier
has authority for stating " that there is no truth
whatever in the announcement." Our contemporary
does not deny that Archdeacon Durnford has been
offered the vacant bishopric ; but he has not boon
appointed.

COUNT VON MUST.

The Chancellor of the Austrian Empire has been
present at a banquet given in honour of the 50th anniver-
sary of the first savings bank in Austria. Count Beust
endeavoured, says the Constitutionnel, to imitate the
ease and humour generally displayed on such occasions by
English Ministers, but it was difficult for German gravity
to lend itself to jeux d'esprit. However, the Constitutionnel
consoles Count Von Beust by the reflection that one may be
a. very able Minister without possessing the verve of Lord
Palmerston or Mr. Disraeli. The Austrian Minister, after
observing that it might seem that the savings bank had no
connection with politics, said that in reality it
had much in common, for if such pacific institutions were
to flourish it could only be by the absence of events which
would oblige its depositors to withdraw their funds. It was
his task to avert such events as far as possible, and he
called upon his audience to remember that he could not
conduct affairs properly without their reposing full confi-
dence in him.

THE EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH.

Venice the Beautiful showed herself worthy of her name
in hor reception of the Empress Eug6nie. Her Majesty
was greatly impressed by the spectacle of the grand
illumination which took place. She remained
for more than half-an-hour on the deck of the
Aigle to watch the effect of the brilliant lights,
and then entered the gondola, and passed on to the
Palais Royal, in order to command a more extensive view.
Previous to her departure the Empress received a farewell
visit from the authorities, and expressed her thanks
for the manner in which she had been wel-
comed. The programme for hor five days visit
to Constantinople contains much variety; it includes
a call upon the Valid 6 Sultana at Dolmabatchi,
a visit to the principal mosques, a gala performance at the
opera, two State dinners with the Sultan, and a review of
the troops, besides attendance at mass. On the 18th her
Majesty will leave for Alexandria, and, after visiting Cairo
and ascending the Nile as far as the first cataract, will
return to witness the opening of the Suez Canal.

On Thursday morning Lord Manor, one of the Scotch
Judes of the Court of Session, was found dead in
bed in his house at Edinburgh. The gas was burning,
and a book was by his side. It is supposed that
death was brought on by heart disease. Lord Manor,

The Stock thus raised will be entitled to the same
priority against the property and income of the Company
as the Debenture Bond Debt, ranking before the Com-
pany's entire Stock and Share Capital of Thirty Millions

now amounting to upwards of Three Millions (Z-1,000,000)

TEE ALBERT LIFE OFFICE IN INDIA.

The Friend of India comments .on the painful position
of the Auglo-Indian policy-holders of the Albert. There
are 4,000 insurers, and no less than £270,000 is said to have
been sent home from Indian branches to thb head-
office. The assets in Calcutta, over which the local
policy-holders have no power, amount to £lOO,OOO.
A committee of inquiry had been for some time attempting
to obtain information when the eatastaophe occurred, and
they have now appointed counsel to act on ther behalf in
London. Unity of action among iho scattered Anglo-
Indian victims of th© office is the great desideratum at

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par. and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 1.5.1. per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 lis.loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above pries is slightly dearer in Wittig than in
London. i_ _

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60
days' sight was 1071 per cent. on the 20th inst. At this rate there
would be a lose on the transmission of gold from the United
tatcs.

It is computed that by the abolition of the fac-
tory or ten-hours' system, in Chatham Dockyard,
some £3OO a week less will be paid in wages, while

the amount of superannuation to which the work-
men will be entitled will be materially reduced.
The several voyages of G. Catlin, the American
ethnographer, to South America, to the Andes and Rocky
Mountains, have furnished him with facilities for gather-
ing information of importahco to geological and orographic
science, and a work which ho has compiled is now in the
press, entitled " The Lifted and Subsided Rocks of Ame-
rica, with their influence ou the Oceanic, Atmospheric, and
Land Currents, and the Distribution of Races."

AMERICAN LEANING TOWARDS ENGLAND.

It is often said that English institutions aro be-
coming Americanised ; but the Standard is finding
out that American institutions aro equally becoming
Englishised. Here are some of the signs which the
Conservative journal thinks conclusive. Hotels in the
English fashion are springing up. Servants are beginning
to wear liveries in the United States. Dining at six,
seven, and eight is fast superseding the one, two, and
three o'clock dinners of Republican life. An American
University has just conferred its highest honorary
degdegree upon an English clergyman. When
the') Harvard crew came to Putney, they
built a boat on the English model. These
are, indeed, formidable symptoms of a return
to monarchical principles, for, as our contem-
porary notes, "it is in little things that changes in
national sentiment are first observable." It is well
that changes in national sentiment are not observable
in great things ; otherwise the Reform Bill of 1867
might be considered a stop in the American direction.
But what is a democratic suffrage to race-boats,
dining, liveries, and hotels ?

SMTATOR 81:73,LNER.

Senator Sumner presided over the Republican Convene
tion of the State of Massachussetts, and delivered a long
address on domestic politics. With respect to Spain and
Cuba, he thought the true policy was non-intervention.
There was much latitude of opinion with regard to the
recognition of belligerents, and ho adopted the interpreta-
tion which placed all that declare war under the
strongest restrictions. Referring to the relations with Eng-
land, Senator Sumner said that they had received from this
country incalculable wrong, and it would be for the
English to determine what reparation to make. The
question of Canada would always be a cloud on the rela-
tions of the two rowers. Ile knew little of English liberty
who supposed that Canada could be offered as a territorial
compensation. Territory might be convoyed, but not a people.
Turning to domestic affairs, he said that the negro suffrage
amendment was not yet adopted, and it might not be
carried in consequence of the Democratic opposition to it.
He charged the Democratic party wills being the party of
repudiation. The national debt would, he expected, be paid
dollar for dollar, principal and interest.

next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prier

in the same.
The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

THE HIGH TIDES.

The tides, about which so much was sail, have
happily proved a failure so far. The tide at Mill-
bank and other low-ling borders of the Thames was
on Thursday not so high as it has been on the occa-
sion of ordinary spring tides. It now seems to be
generally held that, whatever danger might have
arisen from the exceptional positions of the sun and
moon at this particular juncture, has been averted
by the absence of strong westerly winds and the
unusual mildness of the weather. Intelligence from
all parts confirms this view.

FRANCE.

PARIS, OCt. 9.

The Constitutionnel of this morning says :—" The
Government will remain faithful to the spirit of the
Emperor's message and the Senatus Consultum,
regarding but lightly certain eventualities held out
as a threat by the Revolutionary party.
" The Government feels convinced that all mis-
understandings will be removed by its acts, and
hopes that the good sense of the nation will appre-
ciate at its true value the provocative language of
the Revolutionary journals."
The Official Journal, published this morning,
announces that disturbances of a serious character
have taken place at St. Aubin, Avegron, in conse-
quence of a strike among the miners employed by
the Compagnie d'Orleans.

The men on strike attempted to drown the chief
engineer of the company, and wounded the Sub-
Prefect and his deputy. The general stores and
warehouses of the company were also burnt at the
same time.

Yesterday morning an actual riot occurred, when
the troops were attacked : they fired upon their
assailants, killing ten and wounding several more
of the rioters.

THE nuns. commrssroxs,

From the evidence already given at Sligo, it would
appear that this Irish borough is steeped in more
iniquity than even Beverley or Bridgewater. One
man was offered £75 to go away; he afterwards
received £25, besides several sovereigns and
half-sovereigns from one of Knox's friends, but
voted for the Liberal candidate. Another witness
stated that the Major asked him whether £5O would
do. -Witness answered in the affirmative, although
he did not intend to vote on the Conservative side,
" he only wanted to take all he could get." A woman
named I)unleer7 took £lO from the Conservatives for
the purpose of influencing her husband ; she, however
changed her mind, and told him to vote for Flanagan.
James Devany denied ' receiving money at the last
election; bnt pocketed £lO in 1865 for voting for
Serjeant Armstrong. Another witness remembered
the names of six persons who had told him they got
money from the Serjeant—five £l5 each, and. one
£2O.

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