PA IN and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY,
by lir. B. L. ILOSELY, the Dentist by special appoint-
ment, 312, it EGENT- STREET. exactly opposite the lioyal
Polytechnic. Established 1820. This, the most perfected
system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by
Mr. B. L. Mosely, is r commeniled by the Hospitals and
adopted by the profession as one of the greatest improve-
ments of the age fur the alleviation of pain and restoration
of the natural functiocs, can solely be obtained ir. such
perfected success (the result of forty years' practical ex-
perience) at his only residence, 312, Regent-street. The
superlative excellence of this system is perfect, immunity
from pain, no operations, stumps, and decayed teeth ren-
dered useful, loose teeth and tender gums protected.
Qualities : These teeth never change colour or decay—in
fit unerring—ease and comfort unsurpassed—detection
impossible—the facial anatomy faithfully studied and
youthful appearance restored mastication and articulation
gearanteed. The "Times" of March 6 says : "So good
an imitation becomes th • next best thing to ti-e original."

LONDOIV, SATURDAY, AUGU,S7 7, 1869.

A startling intimation has but just now been
flashed along the bed of the Atlantic to America,
the acknowledgment of which will be somewhat
eagerly, we will not say anxiously, awaited. The
intimation is simply this, that her MAJESTY'S Govern-
ment is understood to have refused exiquatur to
Captain HAGGARTY, or in other words has declined
to recognise his nomination as the United States Con-
sul at Glasgow, on the plea that he has played
the part of a Fenian on the other side of the
Atlantic. A decision of this kind, under
ordinary circumstances, might not unnaturally
be expected to result in an ernbroglio—would almost
inevitably have so resulted in the old days

when communications between the two coun

tries were not, as they happily arc now, thanks
to the elec!ric cable, instantaneous. B,Jore
any calamitous incident could possibly result

on either side as things are now—from an

occurrence like that just referred to—the two Govern-
ments can always, by an intercommuncation frankly

of the sentiments entertained by each, arrive

readily enough, at an honourable and rational

understanding. Presided over as the coun-
cils of the United States and of the United

Kingdom are by reasonable men, we count upon this
rationable and honourable understanding being ar-

rived at, in this particular matter of contention be-
tween them, as to the recognition or not of Captain
HAGGARTY (as the United States Consul atGlasgow),
by her MAJESTY'S Government.

A NEW RAILROAD.

The Americans are so well pleased with the success of t 11( it
great railwaybetween the two oceans that they are planning
another. The new line is very different in extent from the
first, since it is only 7:3 mil eslong, and is to cross the northern
part of the Isthmus of Darien. The eastern terminus is to
be a little south of Vera Cruz, and the passage by steamer
to New York will be much shorter than by the present
Panama route. The Atlantic terminus is at Minaitlas;
twenty miles up the Goazacoalcoo river. The Pacific
terminus is at Salina Cruz, three miles to the
west of the Tehnautepec river, which gives
the lino its name. The passage across • the
Cordilleras will be made by a pass, and the steepest
gradient will not be more than sixty feet to the
Little tunnelling being required, the construction
of the line will not be a very formidable task. The Mexi-
can Government have granted to the company a larLs
tract of land free of taxes, with the exception of a pay.
went of twelve cents for each through passenger, and
eight per cent. of the net profits upon the declaration of
a dividend.

TIIE ERIE ACCIDENT.

It is said that the recent appalling catastrophe on the
Erie Railroad was due to the excessive exertion demand d
from the engineer, Griffin. This man, to whom the acct.
dent was chiefly due, has been arrested on a charge of
manslaughter. It seems that he bad been without rest
for forty hcurs, attending all the time to his duties on the
line. Under such circumstances the accident is perfect'',
comprehensible, audit is not surprising that an investipsm
Lion into the whole of the circumstances is loudly na11.41
for.

According to Artenms Ward, there are two
Rings for which we aro never quite prepared, namely--
twins.

ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Pills. Indigestion,
Stomach, and Liver Complaints. —Persons suffering fron►
any disorder of the liver, stomach, or the organs of diges,
tion should have recourse to Holloway's pills, as there is
no medicine known that acts on these particular com-
plaints with such certain success. Its peculiar properties
strengthen the Ft-reach, and increase the appetite, and
muse the sluggish liver. For bowel complaints it is in-
valuable, as it removes every primary derangement, there-
by restoring the patient to the soundest health and
strength. 1 hese preparations may be used at all times,
and in all climates, by persons afflicted by biliousness,
nausea, cr.dliordered liver ; for_flatuletany and beartb9ra
they are specifics. Indeed.no ailment
organs can long resist their purifying and correctly('

SAD SUICIDE.

The late Mr. William John Salter, whose melan-
choly suicide from the Steam Navigation Company's
boat, near Gravesend, was recorded on Thi,rably,
had been suffering for many months from severe
mental depression. lie was a man of more than ordi-
nary ability and acumen, and had formerly done much
able work as _a pake on tol oglst of the British Geological
Survey. It had long been known among his inti-
mate friends that the unfortunate gentleman was
subject to fits of depression and irritability owing to
an over clever and susceptible brain. There can be
little doubt that his sad death WM owing to this
cause. He will be greatly regretted by many fellow-
workers, who had much esteem for his scientific
knowledge.

CATTLE DISEASE.

The recent outbreak of foot and mouth complaint
amongst the cattle of Buckinghamshire has been the
subject of a deputation to the Vice-President of the
Council from the Home Cattle Defence Association.
The disease was, the deputation represented, spread-
ing much in the same way as did the cattle plague
on its first outbreak. Mr. Forster gave an assurance
that all animals found diseased should be slaughtered
on landing ; and expressed his confidence that the
Contagious Diseases Bill in its present shape would
enable the Privy Council to deal effectually with any
rileurrrilne_ of contacion.

OCEAN TELEgRAPITS.

Though abundant eole communication between
Europe and the United States hns been established,
there is still much to do in the way of bringing
distant parts of the New World within reach of the
New York wires. Some parts of South America are
much further from tho United States than the latter
country is from us. It is with the clect of
continuing the communication through the West
Inch t Islands to Brazil, Peru, and other States
that the West India and Panama Telegraph
Company is now forming. It proposes to begin at
Havannah, which is already connected with the
United States, and procmd in two branches, the
main one running through the West India island of
Porto taco to South o lea, the subordinate cable
stretching from the same island to Mexico ard
Panama. The whole will be 2,000 miles long,
of which 350 miles will be land line.

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
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.

upon him and bitt,n him. 110 was crying at the time, but
as I had a customer in the shop I could nut attend to him.
My other son, who is here, went to the neighbour and
knocked :A the door to complain, when the dog also flew

VIE SULTAN AND THE vrcEror.

The relations between the Sultan and the Khedive are so
delicate as to lead the Times to partiallyappreh end arupture.
The cordiality of the reception given to Mustapha Fazyl
Pasha by the Sultan and the authorities on his return to
Constantinople has been much commented on in official
circles, and is regarded as highly significant. The Levant
Herald, which is strongly orposed to the Viceroy.
believes that the news cf his brother's reception h:.*l
something to do with Ismail Pasha's hasty o.el.arture from
Eaux tonnes. The same journ.d declares that the
Viceroy's journey to Europe was taken in full hope "f
tacit recognition as an independent prince, an object
which he has had in view ever since his accession, and
strongly advises the Forte to take advantage of t' •
present imbroglio to exact the forfeit of the vicerega
power from so dangerous a subject. No Government in
Europe, it believes, would lift a finger or a pen to save the
Viceroy from the just consequence of his treason. On the
other hand, it is reported that the European Powers have
endeavoured to allay the irritation of the Sultan, and have
instructed their representatives at Constantinople to
declare to Aali Pasha that they cannot see with indl.
ferencc the intrigues of the enemies of the Viceroy. At
the very moment when the consolidation of peace is the
general aim of the Cabinets, they can hardly permit it to
be endangered by fresh complications in the East. They
are resolved to maintain intact the existing relations
between the Porte and Egypt, but at the same time
they hold it their duty to protect the Khedive against
gratuitous and unjust imputations. The Memorial
Diplomative states that the Sultan was much offended
by the refusal of the Vicerry to come to Constantinople
to give an explanation of his European journey, but that
the European Courts have spontaneously attested that the
Khedive in his relations with them made no attempt to
undermine the rights of the Porte.

THE EISHOP AND TIIE INDIANS.

Bishop Huntingdon, of the new diocese of Central New
York, has just paid his first official visit to the Onoudoga
tribe of Indians, many of whom are Christians. A large
party accompanied the Bishop from New York, the ♦isit
exciting much interest. 'I he Indians received
their guest with all due honour, and a service
was held in the open air, the choir consisting of
singers of the tribe and a squaw presiding at the instru.
recut. The Christian Indians were in their best attire,
and many of the other members of the tribe stood round
to witness the ceremonies. Two hymns were sung in the
native language, and the Bishop delivered an address,
after which he confirmed eleven Indians, five men and six
women.

Beyond an amnesty, the Emperor NAPOLEON 111.
has left himself little or nothing to concede, as a
boon to his people, on the approaching centenary of
the birth of the founder of the Napoleonic Dynasty.
Twenty-one years he has had power in his grasp.
Seventeen of these years, the later seventeen, he has
bee❑ EMPEROR, with autocratic authority. Thirty-
five years he was either in exile or imprisonment—
thirty-five years being the lifetime, according to
statisticians, of a whole generation. Seven years he
was a child-Prince during the reign of the
First EMPEROR. The significance of his career
can already te, in a great measure, appre-
ciated. " Count no one happy," said the
wise philosopher, " until his death." Pronounce
no final opinion upon any man's career, in other
words, until it has been completed. Acknowledging
the shrewdness of this famous dictum, it is never -
theless impossible not to arrive at some proximate
notion of the value or worthlessness of any man's
career, when the date is approaching of what is fanci-
fully, and as most physiologists now agree in think-
ing, fantastically called its grand climacteric. On the
20th of April, 1808, NAPOLEON 111. was born in
the Palace of the Tuilleries. He was the first Impe-
rial Prince born under the Empire, and the incident
of hisbirthwasannounced by the flash of arms and the
firing of cannon from one end to the other of the gi-
gantic dominion then ruled with that rod of iron the
conquering sword of NAPOLEON BONAPARTE—"one
of PLUTARCH'S Heroes," as, in his youth, old General
PAOLI prophetically called him—one of whom it is
in no way extravagant to speak as of the moder❑
C-ESAR, ALEXANDER, SESOSTRIS, Or CHARLEMAGNE.
Baptized on the 4th of November, 1810, by Cardinal
FESCH, and having as his sponsors the Emperor
NAPOLEON the GREAT and the Empress MARIE
LOUISE, the now Constitutional Sovereign of France
passed the earliest years of his childhood in the midst
of the Imperial family, i❑ the very heart and
centre of a political system, which wasthe very arche-
type of what is meant by a despotism. Exiled with
the rest of his house, after the catastrophe of Water-
loo, when he was just seven years and two or three
months old, the future heir to the fortunes of the
GREAT NAPOLEON, passed from childhood to youth,
and from youth into manhood, under the strength-
ening influences of adversity. As a sojourner in
Switzerland, in England, and in America, he, through-
out that probationary interval, was enabled by
zircutnstances, thoroughly well to appreciate the
inestimable advantages conferred upon man-
kind by free institutions, whether under a
Constitutional Monarchy or under a Republican
Goyernment. A fatalist in a great 1110161110)
