Atrß. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
MI Fleet-street, has introduced en entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to bo 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 does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth. Ihat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restorc, articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

SPORTING NOTES.

The Ascot meeting has thrown no new light on
the St. Leger,with the exception of proving that the
whole of the horses that ran in the Derby are a
very mo3erate lot indeed. It is a pity that Bri-
gantine was not entered, as she could not have lost
this rich prize. There is nothing with a chance now
left in but Pretender, Thorwaldsen, Duke of Beau-
fort, and The Drummer.
The Windsor gathering commences to-morrow.
The Two-year-old Plate looks a good thing for
Swift or Saxon. Border Knight ought to secure
the Eaton Handicap, and Acorn or Stork the
Thames Handicap Plate. The Royal Stakes is
at the mercy of Flyawsy Jack or Prince. Choral
is my selection for the Windsor Handicap, and
First Emperoif
meant, is
will w net badly treated in the Welter
in the Windsor Stakes.
Cup.
lialnGpationn°Taces take place on Thursday and Fri-
day, and if the weather is fine will be sups to attract
an enormous attendance of Londoners. For the
Surrey and Middlesex Stakes I think the race will
result in a match between Our Mary Ann and
Distaff ; and after Temple's running at Ascot he
ought to have no difficulty in securing the Claremont
Stakes. A FRESH MAN.

A NEW BISHOP.

The Rev. Samuel E. Marsden, grandson of the
well-known Australian missionary of that name, has,
on the recommendation of the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, been appointed to the bishopric of Bathurst,
Australia. Mr. Marsden graduated 8.A., at Trinity
College, Cambridge, in 1855, coming out among the
junior optimes. He was ordained deacon in 1855 and
priest iu 185 G. He was first curate of St. Peter's,
Hereford, then of Lilleshall. In 1861 he wr.is. ap-
pointed by his relative, Mrs. Marsden, to the perpetual
ccuritcy of Bengeworth, near Evesham,. worth £175
per annum. He is Diocesan Inspector of Schools.

THE BISHOPS OF WINCHESTER AND CASHEL.
The rumour that the Bishop of Winchester was
going to resign his preferment is contradicted
officially. There was scarcely need of the contradic-
tion. The Bishop is quite a young man, only in his
80th year, and being paralytic, needed the £10,417 a
year which he gets to console him. The Post says
that Dr. Sumner is quite able to transact his episcopal
duties. eela ra sans dire. The theory among bishops
of the good old school is that, like port wine,
they improve by age. After all Bishop Sumner's case
is not so remarkable as Bishop Daly's. lle is 85
years o1:1, has no family, and has a good fortune. It
is his turn to sit in Parliament this year, where, of
course, every vote is of importance to save the Irish
Church from what lie considers ruin. He might by
resigning List year' have secured the appointmeat of
another and young bishop, and the continuance of
£5,000 a year for perhaps a quarter of a century.
Nevertheless he continues to retain his
.preferment,
that is, to sacrifice what he believes to be the
interests of the Church in order that •ho may enjoy

THE JOCKEY CLUB.

At tho general meeting of the Jockey Club, to be held
at Newmarket in the July Meeting, Admiral Rous will
propose the following rule:
" In the event of a horse running for a race, and it being
su'usequeLtly discovered that the nominator was dead when
Lae horse started; it shall not effect the result of the race,
unless the nominator's decease was notified to the stewards
or other racing authorities of the meeting before the race
took place."

Admiral Rous withdraws his proposed recommendation
to the committee at Tattersall's, which will be nnnecrs-
sary if the above resolution be carried.
_ _

The Stewards will propose that on the days of running
for the Two Thousand Guineas and Cesarewitch Stakes,
the toll for admission of carriages to the course shall be
raised to ten shillings.

iistcry of Sir Walter Raleigh, has sought in the neigh-
)ourhood of the great man's birthplacefor accessories and
1, background to his painting. This artist has also in hand
,he subject of a cradle and its sleeping occupant floating
in the stream of a violent Scottish flood.—Mr. Tcgg will
shortly add to his reprints of the works of Fuller and
)ther celebrated divines, Fuller's famous work, entitled
`A Pisgah Sight of Palestine," with fac-similes of all the

queen's "Leaves from a Journal of Our Life in the High-
,ends" has been translated into Portuguese by Mr. George
l'cmple, and published by Messrs. Trtibner and Co.—

:o be only the first of three in which the social life of
ihe eighteenth century is to be exhaustively presented.
lie two following are to deal v,ith France under the
Bourbons, and France in the Revolution.—Mr. W, Theed,
the sculptor, has just finished a very beautiful statue of

on his own ideas in this work, and not be under the neces-
sity of borrowing a second " Last Rose of Summer" in

has been creating some stir in Paris. The lady's name is
Mdlle. Rosario Zabater, and she is a native of Spain.—

Gladstone as being in a bad state of health. One
says that he is suffering from bronchitis, another
from a disordered liver. They leave it to the clergy
to suggest that he is a prey to a tortured cuns3ience.

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE TELEGRAPHS.

The Railway _Yews strongly upholds the Govern-
ment policy in the purchase of the telegraphs. It
believes that the Ministry is acting in a fair and
liberal spirit towards the companies, and is at the
same time securing a very good bargain for the
country. This journal urges that twenty years'
purchase—excessive for a mere goodwill—is but
fair terms when the plant is given in and the
seller of the business is not able to resume that form of
investment. It is certain that the income which the
Government will derive will be equal to five or six
per cent. on the whole sum laid out, and even this
satisfactory return must be largely increased by the
progress of the business. The Railway News like-
wise urges strongly that the purchase be completed
this year.
"If the arrangement is not carried out this session the
companies will have the right, and will be fully justified in
availing themselves of that right, to claim the greater
profits of the present year as the basis for the estimate of
purchase, and in the case of the Electric Company the
increased profits of the last year were £15,000, and twenty
years' purchase of this will add £300,000 to the sum re-
quired for the purchase of this company alone. The delay
of another year in the settlement of this question will cost
the country an additional £1,000,000 for taking over the
telegiaphic Luziness."

THE PURCHASE OF THE TELEGRAPHS.

The Electric and International Telegraph Company
have issued a circular to their shareholders, stating the
terms on which an agreement has been made with
the Post Office for the sale of their property.
The sum to be paid is £2,938,000. For this
payment the Government will obtain the whole
of the company's plant, which is worth £1,100,000, and
the business, which is now producing an annual revenue
of £lBO,OOO, and is rapidly increasing. The amount
claimed by the company was £3,340,000, but
the Post Office insisted upon, and obtained, a
reduction of £400,000 for depreciation of plant, renewal
of cables, &c. It will be seen that the net annual revenue
is sufficient to pay upwards of six per cent. on the purchase
money. It would, perhaps, be unfair to assume that in all
cases the purchase of the rights of the various telegraph com-
panies will be equally advantageous to the Government.
In the case of the United Kingdom companies, for
instance, the Government have very properly had
to take into account the prospective in-
terests of that undertaking, to the establish-
ment of which the public is mainly indebted
for the reduction which has been made in the charges fur
telegraphy. But after making full allowance for all dis-
turbing causes, the Government will obtain a business
which, as it stands, will pay upwards of five per
cent. on the purchase money. The future results
of the undertaking will be largely influenced by two
causes, the reduced rates for the transmission of telegrams,
and the reduction of working expenses which can be
effected by the amalgamation of the telegraph offices and
their connection with the Post Office. Judging from
experience, it is not probable that the reduction of rates
will lessen the revenue ; and the increased cost
of the working staff, which will in some cases be
necessary, will be more than covered by the reductions
on general expenses which will be effected by the amalga-
mation of the offices. We may, therefore, assume that
the public will gain the substantial advantages of lower
charges and increased facilities for telegraphing, and that
these advantages will be realised, not only without a loss,
but with an actual profit, and that this profit will be
represented by the difference of 51 per cent. on the
capital which the Government will receive and 3i per
cent. which they will have to pay.—Western Morning
News.

THI NEW FRENCH PARLIAMENT.

As announcedby telegraph, it has been decided that a
session of the French Corps Idgislatif shall be held at
the end of the present month, commencing on the 28th.
It was for some time matter of doubt whether the new
Chamber should neet at once or in November, as did the
last Parliament. The former course has, however,
been determined upon. The session will last about
a month, and will be devoted to theratifying of the various
elections. The .Patrie has created some excitement by a
paragraph to theeffect that the Chamber has been con-
vened, not so much for the purpose of ratifying the powers
of the deputies, as to be in readiness for any " extraordinary
events' ' By. the Voniteur and other papers this declara-
tion of the official journal is interpreted as a prophecy of
war. ThiPatrie.aowever, stoutly maintains its assertion,
and leaves the interpretation to those who chose to under-
take it. It is pretty certain, however, that if there be no war,
there will be at least a great uproar, and for the reason we
have previously mentioned. Several seats won by the
Imperialists will be stoutly contested by the Opposi-
tion, on the ground that the manoeuvres of the prefects
were illegal.

Never, indeed, before have the authorities made such
an unsparing use of their opportunities as this election.
The prefects have clearly acted on the motto of " Get the
official candidate in—by fair means if possible ; but get
him in, let the means be what they may." The riots at
Nantes were owing entirely to prefectoral manoeuvres. A
number of the citizens have signed a protest, in which
they urge that the return of the official candidate was
wholly illegal. The townspeople voted for the Liberal,
but the country votes overpowered them. Now, as the
principle of electoral districts is carried out in France,
every town must have a certain portion of rural territory
included with it in the electoral circumscription. But such
circumscription ought to be a compact district, 'whereas
In the case of. Nantes the authorities expressly and arti-
ficially arranged matters so that the votes of the country
should outweigh those of the town. The Constitution of
the Empire" prescribes that the departments shall return
members in the proportion of one to 35,000 inhabitants.
But the, authorities have so distorted the districts in the
neighbourhood of Nantes that one circumscription con-
tains 45,200 inhabitants and another 32,800. On this
account some of the leading men of the town demand that
the election be annulled. It is strange that the. Govern.
ment should lower its dignity in the eyes of the French
people by such a palpable fraud as this.

THE ItIASSACRE IN EAST AFRICA.

Two of the relatives of the family who have been mas-
sacred in Bazen have set out for Egypt to investigate the
circumstances cf the outrage, They are Mr. Henry Saint
John Powell, brother of the unfortunate gentleman, and
Mr. Jenkins, brotherof the lady who shared her husband's
fate. Their mission is to obtain the assistance of an
Egyptian force to punish the murderers.

APPREHENDED LOSS OF AN AMEEICAN LINER.

Great anxiety is felt respecting the fate of the United
Kingdom, one of the Anchor line of steamers. This
vessel is much overdue, and the premium upon her had
risen somednys back toashighas 250. Acatastrophewould
in this case be exceptionally deplorable, for the American
liners, and the Anchor series especially, are always
crowded at this time of the year. It is remarkable that
two vessels of this line have already been lost during, the
last few months. There is unfortunately too much reason
to fear that the United Kingdom maybe the third instance
of disaster.

MIR S. BAKER'S EXPEDITION.

The Army and Navy Gazette states that Sir Samuel
Baker's force for his expedition to the White Nile will
consist of two infantry regiments, each 600 strong, one
regiment of irregulars, 600 strong, 900 cavalry, two light
and one heavy battery—in all some 3,300 men. The
Gazette• expresses itself interested— not without doubt,
apparently—as to how Sir S. Baker, who is not a soldier,
will handle his little arniy. The country is difficult, and
the climate damp and feverish.

News from the Ferndale colliery has been received
to the effect that part of the workings are on fire, and there
is great danger of the coal igniting. The fire is walled in
to prevent the access of air. Gas is thus generated, and
further explosions are feared.

The friendly relations of a well-known Irish land-
lord and Lis tenants have, the Manchester Courier states,
been seriously jeopardised by the late announcement of Mr.
Bright. The landlord, an English member of Parliament, was
upon the best terms with bisteuants, and was disposed to grant
leases ou favourable conditions to those who desired them.
About two months ago six of the tenants desired twenty-
one years' leases, and the landlord at once acquiesced, and
ordered the necessary documents to be prepared. A day
or two ago the tenants declined the leases; "at all events
until they become thornughly Apprised of the manner in
which Mr. Bright intolds dealing with the land question."
An extraordinary confession of murder is rt poi tau
from Hull. Thirty-three years ago an old woman named
Libter disappeared mysteriously frun Stockton-ou-Tees,
and some months afterwards her dead body was disc )vered
in a hedge. Tice only son, who bore a bad character, was
suspected of having murdered his mother, the suspicion
arising mainly from the circumstance that, on the morning
before her disappearance, the old woman said her son was
pursuing her to murder her, and to rob her of two pounds

M. HENRI ROCHEFORT.

One of the most remarkable features of the last election
was that 111. Henri Rochefort, the satirist, of .Lantern
fame, obtained above 14,000 votes. He was not returned,
but it is by no means certain that be will not ultimately
find a seat. No fewer than four of the Paris deputies have
been elected in two places, and all of them, says
the Independance Beige, have chosen to sit for the country.
Thus four more elections will be needed in Paris; and
Rochefort, who has declared that be will get up a
revolution at the first opportunity, may step in some-
where, especially for the extremely Red first circum-
scription.

CI? E T;TER.

A large and most enthusiastic open-air meeting was held
at Chester on Saturday, to assert the independence of the
House of Peers, and to condemn the spoliation bill of Mr.
Gladstone. The large field in which the gathering took place,
estimated to contain 5,000 people, was (according to the
Standard) very nearly filled with a most respectable and
orderly assemblage. Mr. Alderman Williams presided.
Resolutions condemning Mr. Gladstone's bill, and urging
the Presentation to the House of Lords of a petition
against it, were carried, with very few dissentients, amid
loud applause. The principal speakers +•ere Mr. J. W.
Leche, of Carden Park, Mr. Clough, Mr. Sedgwick (bon.
secretary of the National Union), and Mr. George Boydell.
A vote of thanks to the chairman was moved by Mr. W.
C. Raikes, M.P., seconded by Mr. Rogers, and carried
by acclamation, after which the great assemblage quietly
dispersed.

DOCKYARD EMIGRATION.

The Admiralty seems to be vacillating very much
in the matter of dockyard emigration. The offer
which they recently made to facilitate the emigra-
tion of discharged workmen they subsequently
withdrew. Now, in consequence of unfavourable
comments, they revoke the withdrawal, and renew,
with some modifications, their former offer. In an
official letter read to the Woolwich Relief Committee
at their last meeting it was stated that the
Admiralty were prepared to send out a
limited number of discharged dockyard emi-
grants who have- been in the Government
service one year, and who .can pay, either by-them-
selves or-the Relief Committee, the sum of 455. per
adult head. For this purpose her Majesty's troop-
ship Urgent is to leave Portsmouth on the 24th of
June, for Quebec.
