MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
ITI 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 'hat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

WES TMINS TER.

ROBBING TIM Pool.—Charlotte Benjamin, a young
woman, described as a dressmaker, was placed at the bar
charged with robbing poor people in the house where she
resided.

Samuel Barnard, of 36, Seaborne-streof, Chelsea, said
that the prisoner's mother had lived in the house, and had
recently turned her room over to the prisoner. For some
time past they had been missing things from the house,
and although not of groat value, the loss to them was
severe. On Saturday a pair of trousers, which had been
in a cupboard on the stairs, were brought to the house—
they belonged to one of the boys, and they were not worth
much.

James Hawkins, a lodger at the house, identified a knife
found upon the prisoner. In consequence of repeated
losses in the house they watched prisoner into a marine
store on Saturday night, where she sold the trousers
spoken of for a penny as old rags.
Henry Lowe, another lodger, complained of the serious
loss he had experienced in having had his woollen sheets
stolen.

Mr. Solfe asked if the police Wanted time for further
inquiry ?

The constable, who bad taken the prisoner, replied that
he did, as he had found some pawnbroker's tickets relating
to clothing upon th 3 prisoner.

Prisoner, 1-itho had nothing to say in her defence, was

remanded.

THE MINISTRY AND THE OPPOSITION.

The London correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian says that " the general impression created
by Mr. Gladstone's speech at Fishmongers' Hall is
certainly not one of excessive confidence in the
unanimity of the Cabinet." The same writer states
that " the Conservatives mean to take up the cause
of the clerks and workmen who are about to be
reduced in the various departments. They threaten,
moreover, to have a field night upon the creation of
a third Lord of the Treasury, and the; raising of
Mr. Stansfeld's salary from £l,OOO to £2,000 a year."
It is also said that the GOvernment contemplate
employing two commissioners to inquire into the
working of charities and poor relief abroad.

ENERGY AT THE POOR-LAW BOARD.

It may be that " a new broom sweaps clean," but
there is
certainly anenergy in the Government
departments which s altogether unparalleled. A
Minister's life is no longer one of armchairs; he now
makes inquiries which are not prompted by some
opponent in the llouse of Commons. Mr. Goschen,
for instance, has been finding out how things go on
in workhouses
without the aid of the intermediate
inspector. Late on Wednesday night, we are told,
he paid a visit to St. INlarylebone Workhouse, and
spent a couple of hours, in company with Mr.
Douglas, the master, in inspecting the casual wards
and a portion of each department of the workhouse.
This house at present contains nearly 2,000 poor, a
larger number
than that of any other similar esta-
blishment in London.

THE EASTERN DIFFICULTY.

The Liberte has received later intelligence from Athens,
and is enabled to give the assurance that the difficulty in
Greece has been got over, and that general quiet has
succedcd the agitation of the last few weeks. As the
Liberia' has been the most warlike of journals throughout
this crisis, it is to be presumed that it would not make this
pacific announcement without good reason. The semi-
official papers also contain tidings of peace, and it, is note-
worthy, as indicative of the ill-feeling which has again
sprung up between France and Prussia, that the
Etendard declares the acceptance of the protocol by
Greece to be displeasing to Count Bismarck, who hoped to
stir up a general embroglio. Nothing c• uld be more im-
probable; the initiative in the Conference scheme was taken
first of all by Prussia. •

BUSSIA,

A letter from Constantinople says that Prince Gorts-
schakoff has addressed to all the Russian representatives
abroad a circular in which the blame of the present diffi-
cul yin the East is laid entirely upon Turkey. Prince
Gortschakoff implicitly justifies the conduct of Greece
towards Turkey. 'This circular has caused much excite-
ment in the Ottoman capital. The Czar'fiForeign Minister
"implicitly justifies" the conduct of Greece because it is
to the profit of Russia, and the circular need not, there-
fore, cause either excitement or surprise. Justification on
any other ground is impossible.

NAVAL AND MILITARY NEWS.

The Broad Arrow has to itself the important news
that the Assistant Controller-in-Chief at the War
Office has resigned. General Balfour, having been
unable to induce Mr. Cardwell to concur in his views,
has very properly thrown up his post. Sir Henry
Storks will now be master of the situation. Mr.
Cardwell has had frequent conferences with Earl De
Grey respecting the War Office reforms. From the
same paper we learn that a great alteration is to
be made in the organisation of the Engineer
branch of the War Department, that Captain
Ducane, ME., will probably succeed Colonel
Henderson as inspector of convict prisons,
and that an Appeal Committee has been appointed
by the Admiralty to consider any complaints from
clerks who consider they have any grounds of com-
plaint on being discharged. A somewhat hard case
is mentioned. A clerk who had completed all but one
month of the 20 years which would have entitled him
to an annuity, has been one of the first clerks selected
for discharge.

All the deputies and spectators assembled at the open-

the Provisional Government, except the Republican frac-
tion, which preserved a hostile demeanour to the last, and
is still determined, it is said, to attempt to realise its ideal
form of government. But it is clear that a minority of
70 out of 350 can effect nothing without amalga-
mation, and so far the Republicans have refused all
compromise. The Cortes will have no great choice of
candidates, for the range of selection becomes narrower.
but speculation as to the issue is as vague as ever. The
Liberte thinks a Republic or Moutpensier is the alterna-
tive ; and in that case, the choice resolves itself into one
of the traditional Hobson type. The Constitutionnel,
however, believes in Don Fernando, who once more
appears on the scene. He is thought to to be the " dark
horse " of the Government.

REMARK&

The decrease of pressure at Nairn on Saturday afternoon became
considerable on Sunday. At the same time a considerable rise took
place at Southern stations, and consequently great differences of
pressure were produced. Since yesterday morning, however, a rapid
recovery has taken place in the north-east, whilst in the south-west
a slight decrease is noted. The lowest reading is still at Nairn, but
is only 0.39 in. lower than that at Plymouth. Continental messages
of to-day not arrived--11.15 a.m. Temperature, after increasing con-
siderably yesterday, has again decreased at our northern and eastern
stations —9 deg. in places. Elsewhere there is no particular change.
A stiff westerly gale blew on Saturday night on our N. and E. coasts,
accompanied by strong S.W. to N.W. breezes at our other stations I
and fresh winds from the same quarter prevailed through Sunday
This moraing light south-westerly breezes are general in these islands,
and in the Channel it is nearly calm. Rain has fallen in the N. ant

AN EXPERUMTAL INDULGENCE.

Mr. Redgrave, Inspector of Factories has gazetted
•an important modification of the Factory and
Workshops Regulation A.ct." By this change it will
be legal to substitute another clay than Saturday on
which the weekly half-holiday may be granted,
in all factories and workshops connected with
a retail business in which articles of wearing
apparel are made, or which may be situated
in towns where the market-day is Saturday. The
motive for the alteration is praiseworthy enough; the
masters will probably find it much to their conve-
nience. The only objection to it is that it will be so
much easier for the law to be disobeyed. While
there was uniformity of time, a departure from the
law was comparatively easy to observe. Will it be
easy to detect under this new regulation?

FOREIGN NOTES.

PROBABLE RUPTURE BETWEEN TURKEY AND PERSIA.

The difficulty between Turkey and Persia threatens to
become serious. The Shah is said to be preparing to pro-
ceed with a military force in the direction of Bagdad, near
the south-western frontier of his dominions. The Turks,
on their side, have despatched reinforcements to the same
quarter

THE MINISTRY AND THE OPPOSITION.

The London correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian says that " the general impression created
by Mr. Gladstone's speech at Fishmongers' flail is
certainly not one of excessive confidence in the
unanimity of the Cabinet." The same writer states
that " the Conservatives mean to take up the cause
of the clerks and workmen who are about to be
reduced in the various departments. They threaten,
moreover, to have a field night upon the creation of
a third Lord of the Treasury, and the; raising of
Mr. Stansfeld's salary from £l,OOO to £2,000 a year."
It is also said that the Government contemplate
employing two commissioners to inquire into the
working of charities and poor relief abroad.

THAMES.

ROBBERY IN THE LONDON DCOK.—John Fish, who up to
Saturday filled the responsible situation of a wine cooper
in the London Dock for many years, was brought before
Mr. Benson charged with stealing a pint of brandy.
Inspector Hamilton, of the London Dock police, said he
stopped the prisoner at the principal gateway, and asked
him him if he had anything about him which did not be-
long to him. The prisoner said he had not. He intimated
that he should search him, and the prisoner then produced
a pint bottle of brandy, and said that a man had given it
to him. The prisoner was employed among the wines, and
not among the brandies.

Mr. C. Young, solicitor, stated that the prisoner could
give no other account of his possession of the brandy than
he had already done, and he was very sorry for what he
had done. The prisoner had been for many years in the
service of the Dock Company, was a man of good charac.
ter, and had never been charged with any offence before.
The prisoner's wife was in a sickly condition, and he in-
tended the brandy for her. The bev.
very ill, and was attended by doctors for determination
of blood to the head. Under these circumstance;
and as the prisoner would not be employed in the dock
again, he hoped the magistrate would inflict a fine.
Mr. Benson said, for the sake of uniformity, he could
not inflict a fine. The prisoner had stolen the brandy, and
of course disgrace would attach to him. He sentenced
the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour.
