THE PROPOSED CONGRESS.

Mr. DISRAELI asked whether her Majesty's Govern-
Mont had any communication to make to the house with
respect to the proposed Conference at Paris, and whether
it was true that her Majesty's Government had acceded to
the invitation to take part therein. There was also a
statement in an evening newspaper which had hitherto
been looked upon as a semi-official organ, to the effect
that the great difficulty, viz., territorial compensation to
the Powers of Austria, Prussia, and Italy had been ar-
ranged.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
should have been glad to have given a more perfect and
concise answer to the question had he received notice from
the right hon. gentleman of putting it. Up to that morn-
ing he had not received an; communication by which he
could add anything to the statement made by his
noble friend the Secretary for Foreign Affairs in another
place. The Government had entertained the proposal for
a conference of the great Powers in Europe in order if
possible to prevent the calamities of war, and their earnest
desire and sanguine hope is that such a result might be
brought about. He could not say the terms of congress had
been adjusted, but he did not see any reason that diffi-
culty would arise as to the adjustment of those terms.
With respect to the statement published in a newspaper,
referred to by the hon. gentleman opposite, according to
his information, it went beyond the state of facts.
London, England, 1866-05-25

rests with our Government of the responsibility of
the affair, and that France and Russia will have far
more to do with the affair. Her MAJESTY'S repre-
sentative will of course take part in all the doings
of the Conference, but we may be quite sure before-
hand that the Cabinet of Berlin will not care much
for anything that is said or done by this country.
England has by this time pretty well lost all in-
fluence with foreign Powers, through the mismange-
ment of several important affairs by her statesmen,
and we are now regarded as little better than non-
entities by those foreigners, who look with eager.
ness for any enunciation of opinion from the French
EMPEROR.

As for the foreign intelligence received respecting
the Congress, there is-not very much that is new to
be gleaned from the last telegrams. La France states
that Austria has asked for a modification of the
programme of the Congress. A fresh draught will
therefore be drawn up, and the question of
the means to " guarantee" the security of
Italy will be the only one raised in con-
nection with the Austro-Italian question. As
the neutral Powers have adopted this formula there
is now considered to be no obstacles to the assent
of Austria to the proposed Congress. If this be
true, which is not certain, no doubt the expected
meeting will take place. Again, however, there
still remains the doubt as to whether it will answer
the desired end. It is said from Berlin intelligence
that France, England, and Russia have agreed not
to raise the question of the temporal power of the
POPE at the Congress. This is a very wise re-
solution, because there are quite enough dis-
puted points already to submit to the conference
without adding another one of such difficulty, and
subject to such a difference of opinion. As we
generally hear the political situation isagainde-
clare-1 to be " warlike," and military preparations
are the order of the day in Austria. The Due de
Austria,GßA3loN Th, FasbreenenchsuAmmmboansesdadtoorpaartis,thwehiCchouervtenotf
has naturally given rise to all sorts of rumours as
to whether it relates to the Oongress or is in
consequence of approaching war. It is said
that Russia has resolved to take " decisive
action " against the Power that first com-
mences hostilities ; but this is not very likely,
because why should the Imperial Government in-
volve itself in a costly and vexatious war on account
of matters which do not immediately concern it.
In yesterday's sitting of the Federal Diet the pro-
position of the Middle States, that the Diet should
request Prussia, Austria, and all other German
States, who have lately increased their armaments,
to reducethem to a peace footing, was unanimously
adopted. So far nothing definite is said one way or
the other, but the position of affairs is anything but
satisfactory, whether we look to immediate pro-
jects, or to the ultimate consequences of these
disputes upon the countries concerned.

'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 ex ending
over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to °ler even the most sensi-
tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain, a speciilitd t ertaining only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system embi aces 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 tear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, irttural, and comfortable than any yet produced. .
Consultation free. Teeth from ss. sets from 5 to 25 ga.,
warranted.

For the efficacy, utility, and success of this system, vide

Two other bills were also approved, and the pro-

pany to make deviations in their line of railway,

METROPOLITAN AND ST. JOHN'S WOOD.

A special general meeting of this company was
held on Wednesday at the offices, Duke-street,
Westminster, for the purpose of considering agree-
ments with the Metropolitan Railway Company for
the working, use, and maintenance of the St. John's-
wood line, and to raise additional capital under the
company's Extension to Hampstead Act, 1865; Mr.
W. Austin in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN said the works on the line had
progressed satisfactorily, and he had no doubt the
line to the Swiss Cottage would be completed and
opened by the end of the year. The Metropolitan
Company were to work the Metropolitan and St.
John's-wood line for 50 per cent. of the gross earn-
ings. The Metropolitan Company were to allow the
St. John's-wood Company a rebate of 12i per cent.
on the gross through traffic over the whole of their
system until the St. John's-wood Company paid a
dividend equal to 6 per cent., and before the St.
John's-wood Company paid a larger dividend than
6 per cent. they were to repay to the Metropolitan
Company any sum paid by way of rebate, with in-
terest at the rate of 5 per cent. ; and the agreement
also provided that the Metropolitan Company was
to have the option of taking the St. John's-wood
line at any time within five years from the opening
of the line, at 6 per cent. in perpetuity. He pro-
posed the adoption of the agreements, which, having
been seconded by Mr. W. Lee, M.P., was unani-
mously agreed to.

The CHAIRMAN then moved a formal resolution,
authorizing the raising of new share capital to an
amount not exceeding £200,000 by the issue of
20,000 shares of £lO each.

Mr. LEE, M.P., seconded the resolution, which
was carried, and the proceedings terminated.

NORWICH AND SPALDING.

A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held
on 'Wednesday, at the Westminster Palace Hotel,
for the purpose of considering a bill for the amalga-
mation of the Lynn and Sutton-bridge and the
Spalding and Bourn Railway Companies, and for a
lease of the Norwich and Spalding Railway to the
amalgamated company ; Mr. J. Wilkinson in the
chair.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving a resolution approving
the bill, said it was proposed to lease their line to
the amalgamated companies for 99 years at a gua-
ranteed rent of £9,000 per annum, which the di-
rectors considered was a very fair sum to pay.
The resolution was carried, and the meeting se-
parated.

Mr. Woodin's Entertainment.

To-morrow afternoon Mr. Woodin will repeat)
for the fiftieth time, his double entertainment en-
titled " Baden Baden," and " Up in the Air," on
which occasion a very brilliant audience Will as-
semble to participate in the enjoyment. There is .1
‘.
peculiarity about Mr. Woodin's entertainment which
distinguishes it in a very special manner from those
of other public entertainers who have in some ill;
stances appropriated many of his " notions." as °ll
Yankee cousins call them. Yet, notwithstanding
this, there is one and not a trifling matter, that secures
to Mr. Woodin the full possession of his own,
his originality. Imitators may appropriate ideas'
but the realisation of them is quite another thing'
and thus the natural and innate talent of lair"
Woodin keeps him in -his right position. The
entertainment of Baden Baden, ever since its
first production, has attracted crowded and de*.
lighted audiences; and, speaking from actual ob-
servation, we should imagine there is quite enough
wit and fun in it to attract the pleasure-seeker°
of the metropolis for months to come.

Shocking Railway Accident.

, I,

This morning a shocking and fatal accident occurred
on the South Eastern Railway to one of the workmen em-
ployed on the line. The unfortunate man was engaged in
plate-laying, and the approach of the train due at the Lon-
don-bridge Terminus at half-past 11 so paralysed him
that before he could recover himself he was knocked
down by the train, which passed over him, severing his
head from his body. Notice of the fatal accident has been
forwarded to the coroner.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

WATERFORD AND KILKENNY.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the London Tavern—Mr. C. R. Cole-
man in the chair.

Mr. Williams, the secretary, read the report,
which stated that the works of the Kilkenny Junc-
tion Railway, though nearly finished to Marybo-
rough, had not progressed much during the half year,
but they had been recommenced, and were expected
to be finished in a few months. The benefits of
this extension could not be properly felt until its
completion to the Dublin and Cork line, when a new
traffic, never before reached, would be developed.
The directors had endeavoured to promote a further
extension of the system to the north by the forma-
tion of a line from Maryborough toMullingar, a dis-
tance of 36 miles, and a bill for this great object was
now progressing through Parliament. This exten-
sion, when made, would at once make the investment
of the company remunerative, as a large share of the
traffic from Galway, Castlebar, Sligo, Londonderry,
Belfast, and the intermediate towns and dis-
tricts would be brought over the Waterford
and Kilkenny line to South Wales. The working
agreement with the Waterford and Limerick Com-
pany having expired on the 28th of January last,
the directors had deemed it expedient to renew the
working for a term determinable at any time upon
a six months' notice. The receipts for the half-
year ending the 25th of March last amounted to
£10,704, and working expenses to £5,378, leaving
a balance of £5,327, against £5,303 for the corre-
sponding half of last year. The directors recom-
mended that a dividend at the rate of 21 per cent.
per annum be paid on the preference stock of the
company for the half-year, leaving a balance of
/177.

Mr. DEL,tHurrY, in moving the adoption of the
report, said he believed that in a few months the
junction of the extension line with the Great
Southern and Western would be completed, which
would make a great difference in the receipts on
their line. He was certain that the increase would
be followed by something better. Since the last
meeting they had taken steps to complete the line,
and he was happy to say that it was on the eve of
completion. The connection with the Midland
Great Western Railway at Mullingar was a step
which was being promoted.
After a few observations the report was adopted,
and a dividend at the rate of 2/ per cent. per an-
num on the preference stock for the half-year de-
clared, payable on the 2d of June next.

On the motion for the re-election of Mr. C.
Whetham, Mr. THORNTON moved that Mr. Adams
be elected in the place of Mr. Whetham.
After much discussion, Mr. Whetham was re-
elected, and a vote of thanks to the chairman ter-
minated the proceedings.

Amongst the causes set down for hearing in this Court
during the present term is that of Kemp v. Harris, which
was to have been tried at the Guildhall sitting, but not
having come on before the last day of sitting, and not being
likely to conclude on the day, was transferred to Middlesex.
It was a breach of promise of marriage case, the dofendan
in which is a publican, and landlord of a well-known

LYCEUM.

The entertainment last evening at this bijou
theatre, one, of the most elegant and popular
theatres in, all London, was exceptionally attrac-

At present we can find neither time not
space to say more than that the revival of the
" Corsican Brothers," under Mr. Fechter's manage-
ment, was -worthy of his genius as an Actor, of his
taste as an Artist, and of his liberality as a
Theatrical Manager. The piece was put upon the
stage with the utmost splendour. The scenery,
by Mr. Grieve and assistants, was magnificent. The
appointments were rich and varied. While as for
the twin brothers, Fabien and Louis dei Franchi,
they had their matchless impersonator in that
rarely gifted and exquisitely pathetic artist, Charles
Fechter, forrmerly of Paris, now, happily, for
us all, of London, and of London permanently !
Having been the original impersonator of the Cor-
sican Brothers, having represented the twin heroes
of that haunting and haunted melodrama on the
10th of August, 1850, on the boards of the Thecitre
Ilistorique—Mr. Fechter has thus revived it
between fifteen and sixteen years afterwards on the
21st of May, 1866, on the boards of his own thea-
tre, the Lyceum! And he has done so in a manner
calculated not only to enhance his own resplendent
reputation as an Actor, but to win " golden
opinions from all sorts of men"—golden opinions
that are likely for 'many weeks, and probably
for many months to come, to tinkle nightly into his
coiTers as Manager. The Revival is a brilliant sue-
cefss, and one that deserves to be—what we have no
doubt that it will certainly prove to be—exception-
ally and splendidly remunerative.

ALARMING FIRES.---(THIS DAY).

This (Tuesday) morning, about two o'clock., a
fire, nearly attended with a great loss of life, bap-
penad in the premises belonging to Mr. Thomas
Jones, beer-house keeper, known as the City of
Hereford, situate at No. 13, York-street, Caniderl..
town. The discovery was made by a cab-driver,
who discovered smoke issuing from the back part of
the building. The inmates were aroused, and
messengers were despatched for proper assistance,
In the course of a few minutes Conductor Barker
attended with the Royal Society's fire escapes, and
was followed by numerous engines of the MetropO-
litan Brigades, and the land steamers thy Shand,
Mason and Co. Plenty of water having been pro.,
cured, the firemen went to work, but the fire was
not extinguished until the back part of the buile,ing
was destroyed. The origin of the fire is at pesent
unknown.

This (Tuesday) morning a very alarming fire
took place in the premises belonging to Mr. Shaw,
a bookbinder, No. 6, Dyer's-buildings, Holborri.
Conductor Shedrick quickly arrived with the Royal
Society's escape, and numerous engines of the Me-
tropolitan Brigade followed, including the land
steamers by Shand, Mason, and Co., and a good
supply of the New River Company's water being
instantly procured the firemen managed to confine
the fire to the machine-room. The origin of the
outbreak is unknown.

THAMES.

TAT TERSALL'S -MONDAY.

The muster at Albert-gate this afternoon was almost
without a parallel, and the amount of money which changed
hands on the great events of the past week was corre-
spondingly large. Settling was commenced at the Victoria
Club, where a considerable portion was got through,
lightening, to a certain extent, the weight of business at
Knightsbridge. It was pronounced, on the whole, a most
satisfactory settling as far as it went, and we heard of no
serious complaints, although several accounts stand over
till to-morrow (Tuesday) for adjustment. All sorts of re-
ports have been in circulation as to the amount of Mr.
Sutton's winnings, but we are credibly informed it is some-
thing under £50,000. The exchange of money was un-
ceasing from the opening of the room till its close, and
there was no legitimate attempt made at betting on future
events, the only transaction which came under our notice
being an investment in favour of Lord Lyon for the St.
Leger.

been dispensed with, the judges of the different common
law courts took their seats on the bench between 10 and 11
o'clock at Westminster Hall, which as usual was crowded
by persons who have an inexplicable interest in seeing the
judges pass from their carriages to the bench.

BOURSE, May 21, Two o'clock.—Business has
been resumed to-day amidst the greatest uneasiness
and apprehension, and the quotations of all classes
of securities show a further sensible fall. The mar-
ket, however, has now continued so long in this
state of anxiety that little improvement can be ex-

petted until the delicate state of Continental affairs
shall have taken a definite turn—either in the sense
of a declaration of war or the success of the nego-
tiations now in progress to bring about a peaceful
arrange ment. Threes, for the Account, have de-

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

This popular resort was yesterday attended
by an unusually large body of visitors. The
fineness of the weather and the combination
of attractions set forth in the advertisements
proved irresistible to many thousands of holiday
folks, and not even the consciousness of its crowded
state could in the least diminish the enjoyment
which was generally derived from the visit. In fact,
the number waa couaiderably more than in auy

former year, on the same day, over 42,000 having
visited the Palace yesterday.
The principal objects of interest at the Palace
just now are our friend Chang, the Chinese giant,
with his wife, and the rebel Tartar dwarf, Chung
Mow, with their attendants, Ethardo on his spiral
mountain, Mr. Nelson Lee's entertainment in the
large theatre, the hippodrome, the Shakspere house,
as well as the other numerous entertainments.

Yesterday Chang had a public reception, at which,
after the friendly " chin chin," he addressed his
audience as follows :—" For now eight moons I have
sojourned in your wonderful country, and, having
nearly fulfilled my mission, I must now very shortly
return to my native home in the far East. Yours is
indeed a great nation, and those of my countrymen
who have only read of it in books will surely envy
me, who have seen with my own eyes the solid
grandeur of your palaces, the variegated loveliness
of your country, the untiring industry
of your
people, and the success of your great and almost
impossible conceptions in your works of art (of
which this palace is a noble evidence). My coun-
trymen will be glad to learn through me that here,
as in our celestial kingdom, learning, genius,
diligence, and uprightness equalise all men ;
and that the peasant may, and frequently
does, emulate his rulers by virtuously sustaining
with them the nation's greatness. King-Foo, InY
humble wife, and my companions, beg to join their
gratitude with mine for the kindness that has warmed
us all along. And we trust to be the medium of, if
possible, a still greater confidence between your
great nation and our poor Celestial country. Again
—chin, chin."
The dwarf went through his queer little exercises
very much to the amusement of the company, and
Mrs. Chang had a tea party.
The amusements will be continued throughout
the week, except Thursday, when a great concert
of 5,000 voices of the Metropolitan Schools Choral
Society, conducted by Mr. Hullah, will take place,
and on Saturday the third opera concert. Chang
appears every day.
