TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTIOL-
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 pazt of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most semi-
a specilite Le. taining iy to our ftriveeedosmufiferroemr apasfyo.stem of dentistry perfect in its absolute
prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has grantea her royal letters
patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the. support'ng instead of extras--
tion of loose teeth until they Lecome firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all anti 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.
Consultation free. Teeth from ss, Sets from 5 to 25 ga.,
Warranted.

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

FO
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 &e.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, 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 £3,000 more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, 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
SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be
gratefully received by the Rev. D. GILBERT D.D., No. 22

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 4, 1866

cotton ! The truth is now apparent that, ex-
hausted as the South was after the struggle of four
years, there remained in the country cotton to
the amount of nearly 2,500,000 bales, instead of
1,000,000 or 1,200,000, as the first accounts
stated. At the enhanced value of the commodity,
that quantity fairly represented, when our ex-
ports were so suddenly increased, £32 per bale,
or the enormous aggregate of £80,000,000 ; and
a very large proportion of the crop has been sold
at that rate. The South, utterly bare of the com-
monest necessaries of life, required a complete
renewal of all that is needed to clothe, to shelter,
and to feed, and of everything employed for the
purposes of agriculture or locomotion. On the
capital of £80,000,000 thus reserved there was
no lien or subsisting engagement to impede a
free disposal; and the fund was accordingly used
for the legitimate purchase of the manufactures
in New England and Old England in a manner
and to an extent which startled the Times, but
which was thoroughly satisfactory to all who
understood the change that had been wrought
in the commercial relations between the two
countries.

If, then, 400,000 bales of American cotton in
Liverpool are affected by the recent fall in price,
the effect will simply be, that reclamation will
be left in the hands of the Liverpool factors
against the shippers for any excess of their ad-
vances over the price now obtainable for the
consignments to them. But there are no out-
standing letters of credit, no vast exchange
operations, no excess of trading, no commercial
interdependence now existing ; and we are tho-
roughly persuaded that there is no reason for appre-
hending 'any present disastrous effect to our com-
merce or monetary affairs from our relations with
the United States. That a few houses on the other
side, under special circumstances, may feel incon-
venience from the difficulties that have pressed on
us so severely, is to be expected ; but there is no
ground whatever for anticipating any effect suffi-
ciently extensive to react adversely on British com-
merce or finance. The American Treasury at the
last accounts held about £27,000,000, of which
£15,000,000 was in gold. Of this sum it disbursed
on the Ist instant over £4,000,000, in payment of
dividends, £900,000 of which has already been re-
ceived, and more will soon follow. So little ground
is there for regarding the United States with appre-
hension, that it is quite possible that country may
furnish substantial aid towards the speedy restora-
tion of confidence and the complete recovery from
the panic that has recently prevailed.—Telegraph.

Naval and LE!tarp Intelligence,

The Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke of
Edinburgh, Prince Teck, the Duke of Cambridge,
and suite, are expected at Colchester camp to-mor-
row. His Royal Highness is making the visit for
the purpose of inspecting the 11th Hussars previous
to their departure for India. An entertainment
will be given by the officers of the 11th Hussars to
the royal visitors.
The 69th (South Lincolnshire) Regt., at Alder-
shott, under the command of Colonel Mackirdy, is
under orders to hold itself in readiness to leave the
camp at an early date. The headquarters and five
companies of the regiment will proceed to Jersey,
three companies to Alderney, and two companies to
Guernsey. The 69th will be relieved at Aldershot
by the 48th Regiment, from Shorncliffe.
Several batteries of artillery arc under orders to
proceed to Aldershot, among which are the E and
G batteries, 9th Brigade, which will march from
Hilsea to-morrow to Woohner. where they will en-
camp, and proceed to Aldershot on Wednesday.
The Battery, B brigade, Royal Horse Artillery, from
Woolwich, consisting of one officer, 185 non-com-
missioned officers and men, 30 women, 50 children,
and 147 horses, is expected to arrive at Aldershot
about the middle of the present month.
Gardening around the huts at Aldershot Camp
has become the occupation of many of the soldiers
in their leisure hours, and the monotonous appear-
ance of some of the lines will soon be relieved by the
various annuals which are the favourites of horti-
culture. The soldiers who like to cultivate flowers
naturally wish to make the most of their patches of
ground, but it is found that there is some danger
of damaging the huts by the indiscrimate garden-
ing around them, and in consequence the Lieut.-
General commanding has desired that all officers,
non-commissioned officers, or soldiers who obtain
permission to make gardens round their huts will
leave a space of about six inches between the hut
and the mould, in order to prevent the wood decay-
ing and the hut becoming damp.
It is expected that the first gaud -field-day of the
season at Aldershott will be held in the Long Val-
ley on Thursday, and that the troops will be under
arms at an early hour. Several cavalry field days
have lately been held, but none in which the whole

A general order, signed by Major-Gen. Lord

Paulet, K.C.8., Adjutant-General- , has been issued
from the Horse Guards by command of the Duke of
Cambridge, announcing a new code of regulations
for the admission of candidates to the Staff College.
The amended order directs that all applications to
study at the Staff College must be made while the
officer making it is present and serving with his
regiment, through the commanding officer. No
application from an officer on leave will be enter-
tained. Although only one officer can be spared,
from a battalion at a time for the purpose of study-
ing at the college, this will not necessarily prevent
a battalion sending more than one to compete at an
examination if circumstances admit of their absence
from their regiment. The principle under which
officers are allowed to enter the Staff College
being that of pure competition, :candidates who
may be found qualified at any examination, but
who, from want of a sufficient number of va-

cancies, cannot then be admitted, will not have any
claim to subsequent admission without undergoing
another competitive examination. Only one officer
at a time can belong to the college from a battalion
of infantry or a regiment of cavalry, and only
four officers at a time can be admitted from the
corps of the Royal Artillery. Fifteen vacancies
will be offered for competition annually, two of
which may be filled by officers of the Royal Artillery.
The next examination of candidates for admission
to the Staff College will commence on the 23d
of July, before the Vice-President and members of
the Council of Military Education.

lery dinner, on the 24th ult., for " Lieut.-Col. Kem-

An Admiralty order has been received at Chatham
dockyard announcing that their lordships have de-
cided on making a considerable increase in the pay
of the dockyard labourers employed at that estab-
lishment. In future superior hired labourers will
be paid at the rate of 3s. per day, the order direct-
ing that in case the proportion of wags spent on
this rate of pay is very materially increased the most
inefficient hands are to be discharged. There is
little doubt that this increase in the rate of pay will
bring a far different class of labourers into Chatham
dockyard; the great majority of those now em-
ployed at that establishment are old army and navy
pensioners, who from their age, absence on pension
days, for drill, and other causes, are ill-fitted for
the work they have to perform.

outside the harbour at Pembroke, and her engines
worked most satisfactorily. The maximum speed
attained was 133- knots, and the vessel showed
excellent sea-going qualities. Her engines are of

The Chinese Commissioners Pin, and his son,
Yo-ho, and their friends and suite, now on a visit to
this country from Pekin,
on Friday drove down to
Woolwich, accompanied by Major Brine, RE.,
Major Dick, Major D'Estrange, Mr. Hart, Mr.
Hughes, and Mr. Ilannen, for the purpose of paying
a visit of Ceremony to Lieut.-Col. Gordon, RE.,
with whom they were acquainted during the period
of his command of the Chinese Contingent. After
lunching at the residence of Capt. Gordon, C. 8.,
Principal Superintendent of Stores, the whole party,
with the exception of the Chief Commissioner Pin,
proceeded to an inspection of the departments of
the Royal Arsenal. Their first visit was to the
Royal gun factories, where they were received by
Lieut.-Col. Freeth, Second Commandant, and ac-
cording to War Department instructions they were
admitted to a thorough inspection of the manufac-
tory. They witnessed the working of one of the
12-ton steam hammers, and the formation and
welding of a huge gun coil, which occupied aboqt
three-quarters of an hour. Passing hurriedly through
the Royal carriage and shell departments they re-
turned to Capt. Gordon's, where the whole party
re-entered their carriages and returned to London,
simply calling at the dockyard and inquiring for
the Captain-Superintendent without alighting.
Two only of the Chinese appeared to understand
our language.

DUBLIN, June 2.
There is much soreness of feeling among the soli-
citors of Ireland, in consequence of the appointment
of a barrister to the Solicitorship of Inland Revenue.
They think that, however great the claims of Mr.
J. Colbert Stronge to the consideration of the Go-
vernment, he should have been provided for without
giving him one of the comparatively few good things
that fall to the lot of the attorneys, although they
are the most efficient workers for any Government
they support, especially in electioneering matters.
They think it the more strange that a barrister
should be allowed to carry off this prize from their
branch of the profession, from the fact that Mr.
Stronge is said to be a Conservative, and that his
brother votes against the Government. The emolu-
ments of the office amount to £1,600 a year. The
Lord-Lieutenant appointed this day to receive a
deputation on the subject, but he could only say to
them that it was too late, as the appointment of Mr.
Stronge had been positively announced. The depu-
tation, however, attended, with a long memorial
which his Excellency had attentively read to make
himself acquainted with the facts. He told them
that the appointment was vested by law in the Trea-
sury, with which he could not interfere, and he
would not criticize its acts, which would be going
entirely out of his department. He understood that
the former occupant of the office, Mr. Smyly, was a
barrister, and barristers were appointed to the analo-
gous offices in England and Scotland. He had him-
self said that if a barrister were appointed, Mr.
Stronge should be the person. The deputation dis-
claimed any objection to Mr. Stronge personally,
they only contended for the rights of the attorneys.
After some remarks from Mr. Orpen and Mr. Mac-
Namar Cantwell, the deputation withdrew.
An influential deputation waited on the Lord-
Lieutenant yesterday for the purpose of presenting
a memorial against the proposal to substitute union
rating in Ireland for the present plan of rating by
electoral divisions. The memorial was read by Lord
Clonbrock, and supported by Mr. J. Byrne. His
Excellency replied that the matter should receive
the consideration of the Government, and that he
was in communication with the Chief Secretary on
the subject.

The court-martial was occupied the whole of yes-
terday with the cross examination of Pierce Nagle,
the approver, and constable Talbot, of the consta-
bulary detective staff. Nothing was elicited by the
prisoner calculated to shake the testimony given on
their direct examination. The court resumed its
sittings this morning at the usual hour, when the
prisoner handed in a protest against further' pro-
ceedings with the trial, on the ground that it had no
jurisdiction in the case, because, if the evidence
proved anything against him, it proved that he was
guilty of high treason, and not of a violation of the
Mutiny Act. He therefore gave notice that he would
apply to one of the superior Courts for a writ to
stop the trial, for which purpose he demanded a copy
of the notes of the proceedings. The Court refused
the application and decided that the trial should
proceed. Constable Talbot was then recalled and
further cross-examined by the prisoner. The Court
adjourned till Monday.
The informer _Nagle left by the mail boat last
night for England. It is said that he is afraid to re-
main in the country.
