CANDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.—A
Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to
Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for " Candles,
Glycerine, and Soap"—the only one to any British exhibi-
tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of
the Company aro their " BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S
PARAFFINE" for those who must have the extreme
transparency of pure Paraffin° ; their "GOLD MEDAL
PALMITINE" and "SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for
those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require
also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke
and smell; their good old-fashioned "BELMONT SPERM
AND WAX," and "BEST" "No. 2," "No. 3," and
"BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require
only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and
their "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter,
to avoid the dripping of grease when carried. Their new
toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE" con-
tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, and should
be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of
its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and
face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed
bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every-
where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three drops
of which, mixed with three or four times as much water,
will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of
skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is
effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied
once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and
roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the
Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure
Glycerine being now sold in the shoys. because of the low
rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with
Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well
as at home order " PRICE'S" as the only Glycerine to be
used.
" PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for
burning in the wide glasses, are believed to be the very
best Night Lights made. " PRICE'S CHILD'S NIGHT
LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and are excellent for
burning without a glass.

HONG KONG ( Via Trieste), Nov. 15.
According to recent statistics the sanitary condi-

It is reported that the Imperial troops have sus-
tained a severe repulse from the Nienfei, who cap-
tured their camps and a battery.

Great distress prevails iu the extreme North,
owing to the failure of the crop 3.

In consequence of their having received tele-
graphic advice; the banks have resumed the six

The international boat race between the English

of the former.

bandment of the Japanese troops has been ordered.

how you, how such a distinction may be made
with advantage on both sides, as it is by no
means at all clear to my mind that people of
permanent incomes really derive any advantage
from not paying, as they ought to do, more than
those poor unfortunate individuals, who merely eat
their bread and butter from day to day, by means of
the whimsand caprices of poor frail, weak humanity.
This is undoubtedly a gross abuse, which will, I
trust, be one of the first efforts of our new reformed
Parliament to see rectified. At any rate, our beau-
tiful soi-disant Liberals have never attempted to
make any change. The only time any change was
ever seriously attempted was by our present Go-
vernment—the first time Lord Derby was Premier,
and just before the accession of the late Lord Aber-
deen to office, on the resignation of Lord Derby,
when our present Chancellor of the Exchequer pro
posed that precarious and uncertain incomes should
pay one-fourth less than those derived from inde-
pendent sources. The Whigs comme a l'ordinaire
blackballed this, and when they became possessed
of the sweets of office, proposed that the income-
tax should gradually die out in 1860, like a dis-
solving view, on the falling in of the long annui-
ties ; but no sooner does 1860 arrive than they make
the income-tax more firm and secure than ever,
following the precedent of 1806. Their doings
with regard to the income tax, and indeed I might
add with regard to many other things, come round
like the solar and lunar cycles. I trust it is, how-
ever, with them as it was said by a morning Minis-
terial print in the days of the first Melbourne
Government, I mean that Administration which
succeeded the Government of the late Earl Grey,
the Father of Reform, when it was thought the
Tories were banished for many a long year to the
Opposition.
The aforesaid journal concluded its article with
"a long and a hearty farewell to these officious curs
yelping at our heels."—l remain, Sir, your faithful

NAVAL AND .111ILITAIZY INTELLIGENCE.

The dockyard and other public establishments at
Portsmouthholidaysfromwil

st eremainevening
ng closedun for
til
the
Friday Christmas
.
There is a very considerable amount of
work
going
on at Portsmouth dockyard just at the present time,
although none of it may appear to give that dignity
to the work of the yard which was one of its most
marked characteristics when two and three decked
screw steamships occupied its building-slips, docks,
and basins. Six out of the 11 docks of the yard
are now occupied. No. 2 contains the screw un-
armoured frigate Curagoa, of 1,571 tons and 360-
horse power, undergoing a thorough repair to hull
and machinery,. at a minimum estimated cost of
£12,000, as a seagoing training screw frigate
for naval cadets. No. 3 holds the unarmoured
screw frigate Glasgow, of 3,037 tons and 600-horse
power, a new frigate now under repairs in the sub-
stitution of sound for rotten planking, and a vessel
that has maintained this state of things as her nor-
mal condition since about three months after her
launch. In No. 4 dock lies the mere shell of an
iron vessel from deck line tokeel, stripped of every-
thing except the engine-room bulkheads. This is
all that now remains of the once beautiful iron
screw yacht Fairy, for many years the favourite
steam yacht of her Majesty and the Royal family.
In No. 7 dock the Ringdove, twin-screw gunvessel,
666 tons, and 160-horse power, is fixing her two
three-bladed screws on the ends of her screw shafts,
having supporting brackets fixed on the latter under
each of the ship's quarters, and otherwise generally
completing her fittings and equipment as anew vessel
for commission. In No. 10 dock (the Warrior dock)
the armoured wood-built screw frigate Royal Oak,
4,056 tons, 800-horse power, Capt. Hillyard, has
sent everything down from aloft to her lowermasts,
has all her gunport shutters stripped off her hull,
and is generally in a dismantled state in her pro-
gress towards a thorough refit. In No. 11 (the
Minotaur dock) lies the Hector, armoured iron
frigate, 4,089 tons, 800-horse power, that has gone
through one commission, and is now being almost
reconstructed for another. The most important of
the alterations now being made on board consists
of the enlargement of the gunports, the port and
deck fittings for her new armament according to
the Duke of Somerset's Admiralty minute of June,
1866, and the construction of a double-ported

CANDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.—A
Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to
Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for " Candles,
Glycerine, and Soap"—the only one to any British exhibi-
tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of
the Company are their " BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S
PARAFFINE" for those who must have the extreme
transparency of pure Paraffine ; their "GOLD MEDAL
PALMITINE " and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for
those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require
also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke
and smell; their good old-fashioned " BELMONT SPERM
AND WAX," and "BEST', "No. "No. 3," and
"BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require
only perfect burning without caring for transparency ; and
their "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter,
to avoid the dripping of grease when carried. Their new
toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE" con-
tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, and should
be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of
its admirable effects in preventing chappin g of the hands and
face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed
bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every-
where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three dr, ps
of which, mixed with three or four times as much water,
will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of
skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is
effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied
once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and
roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine' in the
Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure
Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low
rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with
Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well
as at home order " PRICE'S" as the only Glycerine to be
used.

" PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for
burning in the wide glasses, are believed to be the very
best Night Lights made. " PRICE'S CHILD'S NIGHT
LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and are excellent for
burning without a glass.

of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or liga-
tures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals 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 guaranteed to restore
articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and ren-
dered mad and useful in mastication. .
