as not to be distinguished fro u 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 pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful

N 0 Ti C E.--MEETING in HYDE-PARK.
WHEREAS information has been received, and it is
publicly announced in various printed notices, that it is the
intention of certain persons to assemble in the open air at
several places in various parts of 'the Metropolis on the
Evening of Monday, July 23d, and to walk from thence
through the streets in procession with banners, and pre-
ceded by bands of music to Hyde-park, to hold a meeting
there for the purposes of political demonstration and dis-
cussion :

And whereas such a meeting—being,- inconsistent with
the purposes for which the Park is thrown open to and
used by thepublic—is illegal, and cannot be permitted, and
such an assemblage there of large numbers of persons is
calculated to lead to riotous and disorderly conduct, and
to endanger the public peace:
And whereas it is necessary to prevent such proceedings,
and to preserve the public peace : NOTICE IS HEREBY
GIVEN, that NO SUCH MEETING or ASSEMBLAGE
of persons in large numbers will be ALLOWED to take
place in HYDE-PARK, and all well-disposed persons are
hereby cautioned and requested to abstain from joining or
attending any such meeting or assemblage ; and notice is
further given, that all necessary measures will be adopted
to prevent any such meeting or assemblage, and effectually
to preserve the public peace, and to suppress any attempt
at the disturbance thereof.

ORILDREN of the late Captain R. 11. GRONOW,
formerly of the Grenadier Guard; and Author of " Recol-
lections and Anecdotes," - " Celebrities of London and
marl'aris," etc. Captain Gronow, who lately died in Paris,
has left a widow and four young children, by his second
;eat utterly destitute, without means to defray his
funeral expenses, or even to purchase bread. Captain
Gronow was disinherited by his father, in favour of
his brother, a cler an. and the small income which
he derived from the interest of a sum charged on the family
estate ceased with his life ; while the sums he received
from time to time for his " Recollections" were expended
in providing -for the increasing expenses of his young
family. Under these distressing circumstances the friends
Of Madame Gronow in• Paris came to her aid, and they now
appeal to the liberality of her late husband's friends in
London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscence; for
contributions to enable her to maintain and educate her
children.

Two Hundred Medical Gentlemen to be the most effective
invention in the curative treatment of HERNIA. The use
of a steel spring, so often hurtful in its effects, is hoe
avoided—a soft bandage being worn round the body, while
the requisite resisting power is supplied by the Moo-Main
Pad and Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and close-
ness that it cannot be detected, and may be worn during
sleep. A descriptive circular may be had, and the truss,
which cannot fail to fit, forwarded by post, on the circum-

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.—
The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now exi ending
over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi-
tive sufferer a system of dentistry
.perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain, a speciallte pertaining
only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.

FOR
HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. The Manager ecc.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
ire, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhave
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is propmed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf!

ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH EXPEDITION.

(From the Times Special Correspondent)
FoiLIIO3I3IERII UM BAY, VALENTIA,
Monday Night, July 16.
Three out of the four great risks which must
always beset Atlantic Telegraph Expeditions have
now been safely passed by the Great Eastern--the
third of them at dawn this morning. The greatest
danger of all, however, and the last, has yet to come,
when the rope must be laid for a distance of more
than 100 miles, through a depth of 2,400 fathoms,
or 15,000 feet of water—the height of the peak of
Mont Blanc from the sea. This most severe final
trial will commence about Friday night or Saturday
morning next, and will, it is most earnestly to be
hoped, be got safely through by Monday morning or
Monday night. When this tremendous depth is safely
passed, the shareholders and all interested in the
undertaking may breathe freely, for the deeps then
slowly but continuously shallow into a thousand
fathoms, and so on with regularly decreasing water
up to a hundred fathoms off the Newfoundland
coast. In anything within 1,000 fathoms the break-
ing of the cable may be regarded as a most improb-
able contingency, and, even if it should unfortu-
nately happen, it would be of comparatively trifling
importance, as a few days' delay, at the most, would
suffice to grapple for, raise, and splice it. Once,
therefore, as we have said, when the deep water
is passed, all danger from the sea may be looked
on as virtually at an end, but till the turning point
of 2,400 fathoms where the cable broke last year is
crossed none can tell at what moment an almost
hopeless accident may arise. The three dangers
which the expedition has already passed through
are, first, the successful and rapid laying of the
shore end ; second, passing down the tremendous
submarine incline known as the Irish bank ; and,
thirdly, passing over a short steep valley where the
water sinks to almost as great a depth as in mid-
ocean. These two last-named risks were in their
way serious enough. The failure of laying the
shore end could only have delayed the expedition,
but an accident on either of the two latter places,
especially the last, would have proved for this year,
if not for next, absolutely fatal to the whole affair.
The Irish bank, as it is now called, is a sudden
and rather steep incline, where in the space of about
30 miles the water deepens from about 1,200 ft. to
about 12,000 ft. This, as anyone conversant with
mountains knows, is by no means a very rapid
descent—indeed, if regular, its entire gradient
throughout would be very little steeper than that of
Holborn-hill. It was for a long time contended,
however, that the bank was irregular in the extreme,
and only the careful series of soundings taken over
it lately by Mr. Hoskyns, R.N., gradually set this
suspicion at rest. Yet, though no sudden inequali-
ties are known to exist, they may be there, and it
cannot be denied that either in taking a cable up or
down this bank on all previous Atlantic expeditions
accidents have happened by which either its insula-
tion has been injured or the wire itself bodily
broken. It was a great relief, therefore, when on
Sunday evening a message from the great ship
reached Valentia, stating that the bank was safely
passed over, and the vessel in 1,800 fathoms
water. It needed no further assurance of the
safety with which this portion of the task had been
effected than the condition of the cable itself. The
insulation and " conductivity" tests were as per-
fect, electrically speaking, as such things can ever
be. The signals, too, were very strong and most
distinct, and, above all, quickly given. Through
the telegrams which have been forwarded daily the
public are already aware of the distance run and the
amount of cable paid out. With these data any
one can follow the vesssel's course through the
Atlantic. It only remains to say, therefore, that the
uniform speed of the ship has not exceeded 5 knots
an hour, and the cable has run away easily at six
knots, and with scarcely any strain on the paying-
out machine. It may be worth mentioning, though
it is looked for as a matter of course by all acquainted

with the action of submarine cables, that the condi-
tion of the submerged wire has continued steadily
to improve as it goes down into the cold, equable
temperature of the great ocean depths. A perfect
conversation has been held through it. All here at
Valentia know what is passing on board the Great
Eastern, while they in turn have received every scrap
of news which each day's copy of the Times brought
down to us. Even these telegrams, however, fail to
satisfy the voracious appetites of those on board for
continued intelligence of what is passing in Europe.
So the wire from this place is now at certain times
put through to London, and every morning and
evening the latest despatches as to the state of
the war are forwarded to the Great Eastern, while
she in turn sends back to us the not uninte-
resting news of the state of the weather in the
Atlantic. This evening, at 6 o'clock, every one re-
ceived with pleasure the telegram which announced
that the cable had safely passed the third great risk
of the deep gully we have already mentioned. After
leaving the Irish bank the bed of the Atlantic con-
tinues very level for about 200 miles,when again for
a short length there is rather a deep dip of nearly
2,200 fathoms. After this it again easily ascends
on to what may be called a table land of less than
1,500 fathoms. On this plateau the wire is now
being laid, and not, as we have said, until Saturday
or Sunday next will the last and greatest of the
depths have to be encountered. Across this a very
liberal allowance of slack will be given, —in fact,
within certain limits as to speed, the cable will be
let -run almost freely ; at a greater rate than seven

The Hector, 20, screw, armoured iron frigate,

went out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday, and made
an official trial of her machinery under the super-
vision of Capt. Wm. C. Chamberlain, commanding
H.M.S. Asia and the Steam Reserve at this port, on
the completion of her refit for further service. The
ship's engines and boilers worked rather unsatisfac-
torily, and the runs intended to be made over the
measured mile in Stoke's Bay were therefore post-
poned until a future day. The Hector afterwards
returned into the harbour.

The screw corvette Reindeer, 7, 950 tons, 200-
horse power, unarmoured, is getting well forward
in her fittings at Chatham dockyard, where she is
being brought forward for commission. The whole
of her machinery and engines have been fitted by
Messrs. Rennie, the contractors, and she is now in
the hands of the riggers. A proposal has been sub-
mitted to the Admiralty by the dockyard officials to
alter the armament of this vessel by the substitution
of the 6i-ton guns for the 64-pounders, the fittings
for which have already been provided. As, how-
ever, there are but comparatively fe.w of the former
description of guns in stock, and the 64-pounder
fittings have already been provided, it is not pro-
bable that any alteration in the armament will be
sanctioned by the Admiralty.

average of about 14 per cent. slack in all, or almost

siderable increase of this, however, must be looked
for in passing the deep water during next Saturday

and Sunday.
Many parties of tourists have arrived here, in the
hope of seeing something of the operations connected

with this great undertaking, and the Telegraph-
house on the cliffs of Foilhommerhum is daily hese'

by visitors, who use every interest to obtain admis-
sion. Its doors, however, are inexorably closed to

all save the officials connected with working the

line and the representatives of the London press.
In this rambling whitewashed structure, which
_ _

almost precisely resembles the Club-house at Alder.

shott on a small scale, there is a sanctum sanctorum
called the instrument room, a very small and

carefully darkened apartment, into which none
enter but Mr. Varley, or the one or two whom Mr.
Glass, on rare occasions, allows to see the scien-
tific mysteries. There is very little to be seen,

however, beyond a thin ray of light, fluctuating
now slowly, now rapidly, and sometimes standing

steadily still as it makes its dots and dashes along

the graduated scale in front of it, and the most
utter silence has to be preserved, that nothing may
distract the attention of the operator in reading the

movements of the thin, small gleams, for these are

messages from the ship, which at any minute may

prove to be of the last importance. All the news
from the Great Eastern has been most gratifying.

The weather is reported splendid, and all, from first
to last, electricians, captain, and engineers, express

themselves perfectly confident of ultimate success.
The current of messages and conversations is, in
fact, so continuously kept up that the incident of
the sailor falling overboard from the Terrible when
nearly 300 miles at sea was known at this station
within five minutes after its occurrence. Of course
as the Great Eastern proceeds westward her noon-
day Greenwich time becomes every day later to us
here. When to taking her latitude and longitude
is added the interval necessary for working them
carefully out, it will be seen that in spite of the
telegraph two or three hours must elapse before it

brilliantly. I kept on full speed in order to get out
of the stranger's way as quick as possible. A quar-

she was found to be in a sinking state, and we had

The screens of the Osprey's regulation lights were

Is there a Cure for Hydrophobia ?

(From the Observer.)
At this period of the year, when the dog days are at their
height, and when the recent prevalence of that terrible
disease hydrophobia is considered, the question of whether
there be a remedy or no for so dire a calamity as the bite of
a mad dog cannot be discussed without a feeling of its deep
importance to the human family of every grade.
Various specifics have been propounded as remedies for
hydrophobia, but that which has more than any other borne
the test of actual and successful experience and practical
illustration is the application of heat in the eradication of
the poisonous virus from the human system in the shape of
the Turkish bath. From the variety of experiments which
have taken place under the guidance of the most eminent
men connected with the medical profession in our own
country as well as on the Continent a fact has been estab-
lished, which every possible means should be taken to make
known to the public, that even in cases of hydrophobia there
is a remedy provided for all those that may be attacked
with the malady. From the experiments before referred
to it is now well known that heat raised to a certain
point will extract from the body all poisons that are
not sudden in their effects, and therefore will not
only prevent but cure this (hitherto pronounced fatal
and incurable) disease. With the praiseworthy object of
making these means known to the public, the directors of
the Ilammam, or Turkish baths in Jermyn-street, have
constructed a radiating chamber connected with that insti-
tution, opened free at all times for cases of hydrophobia,
or for persons who have been bitten by or supposed rabid
dog, where heat can be raised to any degree that the
patient's case may require. This radiating heat is produced,
and also a perfect ventilation of the chamber at the same
time is obtained, by a stove which has been invented and
patented by Mr. D. Urquhart, the managing director. The
size of this radiating chamber is 15ft. sin. by lift. 2in., and
it is furnished with couches, the floor being covered with
thick felt. The heat generated averages 200, and can be
raised to a much higher degree when required, but the
heat being so excessive, the greatest caution is necessary.
This radiating chamber does not, any more than the
plunging tank, belong to the Turkish bath ; it therefore
can only be used on sufferance, and by direction, and
under the care of the attendant. This, then, appears to
be the process by which it is assorted that even the fright-
ful malady of hydrophobia can be overcome, and the pa-
tient restored to life and society ; and the question then na-
turally aries as to the proofs that the Turkishbath or heat
will cure hydrophobia. The " Manual of the Turkish Bath,'
edited by Sir John Fife, M.D., F.R.C.S., Senior Surgeon
of the Newcastle Infirmary, page 299, quoting from Mr.
D. Urquhart, at Cork, in August, 1856, observes:—
"I should not mind my own child being bitten by a mad
dog, so certain am I that the bath would cure him. Some
time since I asked a medical man to find me a case of
hydrophobia, as I was convinced that the disorder must
yield to the bath. Ho told me that my idea had been anti-
cipated in the only known case of cure. A French physi-
cian having been bitten by a mad dog, and suffering from
the first symptoms of the disorder, knowing that medicine
was of no avail, and thinking only how ho could dio most
easily, had himself carried into a vapour bath, there to re-
main till death. He remained until life. He was carried
out cured."
Again, in a case reported in Galignani's Messenger, Oct.,
1863, Dr. Buisson addressed the following communication
to the Abeille Medicale:—

" A single vapour bath is sufficient to prevent hydro-
phobia by eliminating the virus. Nevertheless, for the sake
of greater security, I caused seven to bo taken in as many
days at a temperature of from 42 deg. to 48 dog. Reaumur,
and 127 deg. to 140 deg. Fahrenheit. Care should be taken
to press the wound well while in the bath in order to pro-
mote the expulsion. If the disorder has declared itself I
only prescribe a single bath, and leave tho patient in it till
the cure is effected, taking care to raise the temperature
gradually. Hydrophobia may last three days. Experience
has proved to me that the cure is certain on the first day of
the outbreak ; on the second it is urcertain ; on the third
impossible, from the difficulty and danger
.there would be
in conveying the patient to the bath and keeping him in.
Who would, however, wait for the third day, knowing my
treatment ? Nor should one wait for the outbreak ; it ought
always to be prevented. Hydrophobia never breaks out
before the seventh day, so that there is time to perform
long journey to obtain what is called in Ras.ia a vapour
bath."

That the same agency which the foregoing extracts tend
toprove will cure hydrophobia when actually developed will
prevent the disease should a person have been bitten by a
rabid dog has been distinctly established by cases which
have already been received at the Hammam, where by ex-
tracting the virus the inflammation was allayed, and a
healthy and perfect healing of the wounds of the parties so
bitten effected. The superintendent in his report says :
" On Friday, June 8, we had the first case of hydropho-
bia in a gentleman, a frequenter of the bath. Two of his
dogs had been fighting, and in trying to separate them the
largest one flew at him and bit him just above the elbow.
The wounds bore marks of the dog's teeth ; round each
there was a very sharp-marked red rim and a yellow disco-
louring. After being a very short time in the middle hot
room he went with me into the radiating room, at 211
deg., and stayed for about 10 minutes ; ho then wont into
the middle hot room for about half an hour, and after he
was shampooed and washed he went down into the radiat-
ing room again for abouteight minutes. He took altogether
a very severe bath. After being in the cold room for a
while and had become quite cool, the wounds were quite

wet and had quite a different appearance. On Monday,

June 18, he came again, the wounds appearing quite diffe-
rent, the discolouring was all gone, and each wound ap-

peared as if there was a crusty lid on the top of it about an

eighth of an inch thick; one came off in the bath, leaving
the wound almost healed, the other remained.
" The case of Saturday, June 9, was quite different. It
was a Working man bitten by a dog without any provoca-
tion; the appearance of the wounds were quite different,
they wore just in the bend of the arm, but ligt discoloured;
the whole part was swollen. It took one of the men some
time to get him clean, and after he had been a short time
in the middle hot room I went with him into the radiating
room, at 212 deg. He could remain in only for six minutes.
He said he felt very much knocked up, and wanted a great
deal of persuading to get him down once more for about
two minutes.

"The parties alluded to in the above cases have been to
express their grateful thanks to the directors for the benefit

which they were convinced they had derived from the
bath. These remarkable results have been brought about

simply by the heat causing a copious perspiration, and as

it were pulling the disease out of the body.
"I need not remind you that this effect can bo produced
with greater facility in a hot air, or Turkish bath, than in a
vapour bath, as the body can endure a far greater degree of
heat than when accompanied with vapour; and also there
moisture upon
can be no mistaking vapour for perspiration in the hot-air
bath; and as this is the groat object to-bo desired you have
