DUBLIN TRUNK.

The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday at
the Loudon Tavern ; Mr. F. W. Russell, M.P., in
the chair.

The report stated that a bill had been deposited
in Parliament to enable the company to extend the
railway into Sackville-street, which would secure to
the company's line a large proportion of the great
and increasing traffic between Dublin and Kings-
town, Howth, and other important suburbs. Owing
to the state of the money-market, the directors had
considered it desirable to confine the works to the
tunnel under the river Liffey.
The report was adopted unanimously.

The half-yearly meetings of the following railway
co.npanies, appointed to be held yesterday, were
adjourned, viz., the North-western and Chariub-
cross, the Peterborough and Wisbeach, the Sitting-
bourne and Sheerness, the Wrexham, Mold, and
Connah's Quay; the Drayton Junction, the Buckley,
the Shrewsbury and Potteries Junction, and Mold
and Denbigh.

LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1866.

-4.--

Few naval disasters of late years have excited
a greater amount of sympathy and sorrow than
the lois of the steamship London. The destruc-
tion of life was so great, the circumstances of
the wreck so harrowing, and the disruption of
family :
ties •so painful, that the public feeling was
deeply moved, and the natural questions imme-
diately asked were to what cause the disaster was
due, and
whether;vby any means it might have
been prevented,Thby
the
neercareful and laborious inves-
tigation
brought tod of Trade has just been
a conclusion,eithafter an examination of
2.1 witnesses, who had
experienced
personal knowledge
of the ship or were
_althe examiners
shipbuild-
ing. Tile conclusion toP cLI:a
urable to the
and have arrived are on the whole f
its officers
London, and exonerate its owners ,
from suspicion of negligence or mis,a
nagement.
Captain 111ARTIN's high reputation, long experience,
and proved courage under the most trying eireum
stances, have throughout encouraged the belief that
he did all that he believed it expedient to attempt,
or possible to accomplish. - This opinion was current
from the first, and although there might be points
in the management of the ship which seafaring men
criticised or disputed, it was incontestable that
they were not acquainted with the exact
circumstances under which Captain MARTIN
give his orders, or with the reasons which
dictated them. The construction of the ship her-
salt is, however, more open to criticism. There
seems little reason to doubt that her original design
was unfavourable to the success of her mtruggle

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
leet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrip-
ti, al of ARTIFICIAL TEE "C li, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly ntemlY.e the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro n the originals by the closest
observer; they wail never change colour or decay, and will
be round 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
in mastication.

INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.—TUIS DAY.
The ceremony of inaugurating the City of Lon-
don Working Classes Industrial Exhibition took
place this day in presence of the Right Hon. the
Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, and a large number of
the leading men of the city. The corporation hav-
ing granted the use of the Guildhall for the pur-
poses of the exhibition, a very energetic and practi-
cal committee was at once formed for carrying out
the praiseworthy object. The ancient hall has been
most tastefully decorated with flags, and a splendid
organ has been lent by Messrs. Gray and Davidson
in order that the musical portion of the ceremony
should be quite equal to the rest of the interesting
proceedings. That the music will be worthy the
occasion is beyond a doubt, as Mr. Benedict has
taken the matter in hand, and therefore
we look
upon that part of the ceremony as perfect, for per-
fect everything is that Mr. Benedict submits for the
approval of the public. The committee are under
deep obligations to the talented maestro, but
then he is ever first to contribute his important
services to any great public object in which the
exquisite art of which he is so remarkable a profi-
cient is awarded its right and proper position in the
proceedings of the day. The soloists are Madame
Lemmens-Sherrington, Mdlle. Liebhardt, Miss Wu.;
son, Miss Greening, Miss Whytock, bliss Lee, an',
Mr. Patey, and a choir of nearly 200 well-trained
voices. The arrangements for exhibiting the pro-
ductions of the ingenious and clever artisans are,th
best that could have been devised. Long tables
~
have been ranged the entire length of the
hall, and on them are displayed models et
steam engines, both land and marine, casting
electrotyping, cutlery, brass and polished steel work,
goldsmiths' work, engraving, needlework in every
variety ; in fact, on the long tables will be found ex-
quisite specimens of nearly all the handicraft° that
have won a famous name for British workmanship

Tho Doctor .. 5 10 0 ...

It has been a very good betting race, as nearly every
horse in turn has been supported. L'Africain, the top
weight, is nearly first favourite, but he has about as much
chance as Gladiateur had with his crushing weight for the
Cambridgeshire. Alcibiade, last year's winner, finds sup-
port in the right quarte:•s. Cortolvin and Laura are the
most to be feared of the favourites. Mistake and Merrimac
are both good jumpers, and are sure to run well. Creole
has seen too many ups and downs in the market to look
like a winner. King of Hearts ought to run well. Heurleys,
who is in the same interest as L'Africain I would sooner
trust than the latter ; but the market seems to be dead
against the former. Real Jam (ono of Mr. Hughes's
yearlings) has comp prominently into the market, with
what chance I cannot discover. The winner of the Grand
National for 1866 will be either LAURA or MISTAKE,
those most likely to upset them being either Merrimac or
Alcibiade.

EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND.

Sir A. AGNEW asked the Lord Advocate whether the
Royal Commissioners on Education in Scotland might soon
be expected to report; and, if so, whether 1-er Majesty's
Government proposed to introduce a bill this session
founded upon the recommendations of their board?

The LORD ADVOCATE said the commissioners had
not yet reported, so it was not impossible that a bill might
be introduced.

POOR LAWS.
In reply to Sir P. BURRELL,

Mr. VILLIERS said orders on the matter had been
framed and issued. With respect to persons in the re-
ceipt of small pensions they were not, affected by the

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Strt,—You may doom it worthy of a record in The Sun
that of 72,519 gallons of wine duty paid yesterday in the
port of London no less than 46,251 gallons wore duty paid
by our firm, the largest quantity evor entered for duty on
one day by ono firm. Of this latter quantity 23,822 gallons
were admitted at Is. per gallon duty, and consistedof light
wines from Spain, France, and Hungary. The duty paid
by us amounted to £1,004 14s. 3d. ; while for the same
quantity under the old system it would have amounted to
£13,354 19s. 6d., being a difference in favour of the public
of no less than £9,350 ss. 3d. on the wines coming into
our stores in one day alone.

The demand for light pure wines is rapidly increasing,
and with an assimilation of the duty on wines imported in
bottle to those imported in wood, there will, we have no
doubt, be a still further increase ; and when Mr. Gladstone
can see his way clear to a shilling duty on all wines, we are
persuaded that the demand in this country will be very con-
siderable.—We are, Sir, your obedient servants,

A SEAMAN SHOT BY HIS OFFICER.—A gross out-
rage took place on board the barque Kathleen, at Greenock,
on Friday. The Kathleen, of Picton, N.S., was loading
pig iron when the mato went up to one of the crew named
Dickson, and gave him a shove. Dickson at once threw
himself into a fighting attitude, and said, "You aro going
to commence early with us, but you'll not tame us." Tho
mate answered with an opprobrius epithet, "I'll tame you,"
and putting his right hand into his trousers pocket drew
a revolver and deliberately fired at Pickson, the ball tak-
ing effect upon the left temple. The wounded man stag-
gered against the rail, and then fell on deck, bleeding pro-
fusely. When the pistol was discharged by the mate, the
second mate and four others of the crew wore standing by.
The bullet, after striking Dickson, whistled past the head of
another of the crew. The wounded man was put on board
a steam tug and removed to the police-office where Dr.
Auld dressed the wound. Constables were at once
despatched to the Kathleen and apprehended the mate,
who was brought ashore and lodged in gaol. The accused
whose name is William Sutton, is a married man, his
family residing in Boston, U.S. He is a native of Glasgow
but left that city while in infancy. He was perfectly sober
when ho fired the pistol.
