TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.-
The fear of pain and dreathot ope anon inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEKTII 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 offer even the most sensi-
tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain, a Rpeci,. litCt f enabling* only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system ex/lb, aces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the support ng 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 nerveus person can be supplied without 'ear of
pain or inconvenience. These testh arc cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth from 58, sets from 5 to 25 ga.,
warranted.

Lynch, visited Sheerness for the purpose of making
his half-yearly inspection of the Ist battalion of the
Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery. The troops number-
ing about 700 men, in eight companies, were drawn
up in line, and received the General with the usual
salute, after which they were formed into companies
and inspected. After this the march past took place,
and then the manual and platoon exercise, the whole
concluding with a number of battalion evolutions,
conducted by Lieut.-Col. Crofton, in, command of
the battalion, Major Bent, and Capt. Still (the Ad-
jutant). After the inspection the men formed square,
and were addressed by the General, who expressed
his satisfaction at their efficiency and clean and
orderly appearance. A number of time-expired
men and invalids were present on the ground and
received their discharge. Col. Riddell, C. 8., Com-
mandant of the Chatham division of Royal Artil-
lery, and Col. Freeth, commandingßoyal Engineers,

pROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE,
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 Nigh? Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given. gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they aro homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,
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, and have
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 /1,000 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,
Finsbury-circus, E.C.

A notification has been received at Chatham that
the War Department has given directions for the
manufacture of a supply of the new description of
300-pounder 9-inch guns at Elswick, on Major Pal-
liser's principle. Four of the new guns are now in
course of manufacture, and others will be taken in
hand as soon as the resources of the establishment
will permit. These guns will be used in conjunction
with Major Palliser's chilled iron shot, the experi-
ments with which at Shoeburyness and elsewhere
have yielded such satisfactory results. The first con-
signment of the new shot will shortly be received at
the ordnance establishment, Chatham, for distribu-
tion to the various vessels of war fitting for com-
mission, as well as for the land coast defenCes.
In accordance with orders received yesterday at

Chatham from the Horse Gnarls, the depot compa-
nies of the 80th Regiment left that garrison this
morning," and proceeded to Gravesend, where they
embarked on board the steamer Lady Wodehouse,
for conveyance to Devonport, there to await the ar-
rival of the headquarters and service companies of
the 80th Regiment, now on passage from India. The
following officers proceeded from the garrison this
morning with the 80th depot :—Capt. J. L. W.
Nunn, Ciipt. 11. Rowland, Lieuts. W. G. Trevor,
W. B. B. Christie, H. J. Brown, and Ensigns J.
H. Alston, and W. T. Anderson. The 80th Regi-
ment left England for the Cape of Good Hope in
1856, and was subsequently ordered to India on the
breaking out of the mutiny. In consequence of the
lengthened absence from England of the 80th the
strength of the service companies has , been consi-
derably reduced, but on the arrival of the headquar-
ters the regiment will be augmented by the addition
of the depot companies.

The annual athletic sports and pastimes by the
officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the
Chatham division of Royal Marines Light Infantry
took place yesterday afternoon on Chatham great
lines, under the patronage of Major-Gen. Sir Robt.
Walpole, K.C.8., and with the permission of Col.-
Commandant J. 0. Travers, C. 8., in command of
the division.

The sailing Indianian Star of India, 1,045 tons,
Commander Holloway, belonging to Messrs. Somes,
'Brothers, and Co., of London, arrived at Spithead
yesterday morning with invalided troops on board
from India. She sailed from Madras on the 19th of
February, and called in at St. Helena on the 10th
April. On the 21st April, in lat. 430 N., long. 21
37 W., she spoke the ship Edwin Fox, belonging to
Messrs. Gellatley, Hankey, Sewell, and Co., of
London, also with troops on board from India, and
bound for Spithead. The officers and troops on
board the Star of India will be disembarked from
the ship at Spithead this morning, and sent on to
to their respective destinations. The military list
comprises—Capt. B. L. Gordon, R.H.A., in mili-
tary command; Mrs. Gordon, and four children;
Lieut. Pusey, 76th Itegt. ; Ensign Shepherd, 108th
Regt. ; Dr. Reed, in medical charge of invalids ;
Major Hutchinson, Madras Army ; Capt. Tytler,
Madras Army, Mrs. Tytler and family; Assist.-
surg. Cockrell, Mrs. Cockrell, and family ; Mrs. and
Miss O'Grady (Col. O'Grady died during the voy-
age home) ; Mrs. Macartney and family; 154 in-
valid soldiers, 14 women, and 30 children for the
Royal Victoria Military Hospital at Netley.
The Admiralty storeship Supply, Staff Commander
Bawden, arrived at Spithead at sunset on Monday
from the Mediterranean, having sailed from Malta
on the 17th and Gibraltar on the 22d inst. She
brought home a few naval invalids, a large quantity
of medical
Y Military Hospital, some
packages
ap-
pointed captain of her Majesty's ship Asia and the
Steam Reserve at Portsmouth. After landing yes-
terday the invalids and her stores for Portsmouth
and Netley, the Supply sailed again from Spithead
for Woolwich. From Gibraltar to the entrance of
the English Channel the Supply experienced S.W.
winds with fine weather. From Cape Ushant to
Spithead light airs and calms.
The 31st (Huntingdonshire) Regiment, under the
command of Lieut.-Col. Eager, and at present sta-
tioned in Portsmouth-garrison, paraded on Southsea-
common, in heavy marching order, on .Monday, at
11 a.m., for inspection by Lieut.-Gen. Sir George
Buller, K.C.B. In the afternoon Sir George in-
spected the quarters of the regiment, the regimental
book, schools, &c. The result of the inspection
under arms and in quarters was highly creditable to
Col. Eager, the officers, and men of the regiment.
The armour-plated screw steamship Lord Clyde,
24, was put out of the dock in Keyham steam-yard
yesterday, and placed at her moorings among the
Steam Reserve in Hamoaze. It is probable that she
will hoist a pennant in the course of a few days.
The officers belonging to the Russian frigate
Douskey, 32, now in Plymouth Sound, visited the
arsenals at Devonport and Reyham yesterday.
The Italian steamship Principessa Clotilda is now,
lying at the red buoy off Woolwich arsenals,
awaiting the arrival, on her completion, in the Vic-
toria Dock, of the ironclad ram Affondatore, recently
launched from the Millwall Ironworks, and com-
missioned by Capt. Martin for the Italian Navy..

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)

'The text of the circular despatch of Senor Ber-
mudez de Castro to the Spanish representatives
abroad relative to the bombardment of Valparaiso, of
which a summary has been received by telegraph, is
as follows : MADRID, May 24.
" Since her Majesty's Government has duly and
amply proved the justice of its position in the ques-
tions which have arisen between Spain and the Re-
public of Chili and her allies, I do not consider it
necessary to give a particular account of the resolu-
tions which the Spanish Government has adopted in
the exercise of its lekitimate right. Nevertheless,
in order to represent in the clearest light the recti-
tude and generosity of its conduct, I take advantage
of the present opportunity to show that it 'was
actuated by no impatient rancour, but impelled by
the urgent necessity to avenge the insult offered to
the national honour, when it had recourse to the
extreme measure of bombarding the city and port
of Valparaiso.

" A concise and accurate statement of the facts

which preceded and constituted the origin of this
determination will suffice to convince your excel-
lency that matters had reached a point in which
there was no possible means of avoiding or suspend-
ing this measure.

" Spain, notwithstanding the persistent refusal of

Chili to afford the moderate satisfaction demanded
by way of reparation, confined her first hostile de-
monstration to blockading the Chilian ports in the
least rigorous manner, as is proved by the testimony
of variwk naval officers and foreign diplomatists.
No onelFunware that our squadron avoided as much
as possible any kind of injury to neutrals, that it
allowed the steamships of the English company to
enter the blockaded ports, and carry, not only the
correspondence, but even the agents of the enemy's
Government, and that our lenity even went so far.
:as to restore some vessels legitimately captured, and
finally to restrict the original extent of the blockade.
While hostilities in the Pacific were reduced to this
point, Spain, ceding her right, accepted the good
offices which were simultaneously proffered by Eng-
land and France, and admitted a form of arrange-
ment which, in the judgment of both those Powers,
was equally satisfactory and honourable for both
belligerents.
" In further proof of prudence and good faith,
the Spanish Government also yielded to the request
of the United States not to undertake more serious
hostilities immediately, in order to give time for the
representative of the Union to make conciliatory
representations to the Government of Santiago.
" Spain thus rendered the sincerity of her inten-
tions patent from the outset. Free from all unjust
passion, she never entertained the desire of humi-
liating her adversaries nor of creating unnecessary
annoyance, and without admitting even the possi-
sibility of a violation of established usages, or dis-
turbing, under any pretext, the natives of the
enemy's country in the peninsula, who have en-
joyed, and at this day enjoy, complete security.
" To this noble and generous conduct Chili has
from the outset responded by a constant and im-
placable animosity.

" The Government of Santiago commenced by
prohibiting the Spanish residents from leaving the
Republic, and, contrary to every usage of civilised
nations, confined them to a certain district, prohi-
biting them also from disposing of their ample
property, whereby many of them were ruined.
Not satisfied with this unusual rigour, it sent
emissaries to all parts, charged to organise priva-
teermg against our commerce ; it purchased tor-
pedoes and, inflammable materials to destroy our
squadron, and it thus occasioned the explosions
which have produced such great disasters at Taboga,
Colon, and San Francisco in California. It pro-
voked us in an inexcusable manner by disloyally
taking possession of the Covadonga ; it distorted the
question in order to give it an American character,
which it never could possess ; and threatening, upon
the one hand, weak Governments, upon the other,
offering its material aid to unpopular Governments,
it succeeded in inddcing three Republics with whom
we were upon good terms to declare war against us
without reason, and to cause us considerable injury
by closing against us the ports of the Pacific.
Lastly, in place of listening to the counsels of kind-
hearted impartiality, the Government of Santiago
obstinately refused for two months to accept the good
offices of France and England, and to receive their
propositions, availing itself of dilatory pretexts to
avoid categorical reply and to prolong an intolerable
situation.

"All and each of these acts of hostility would
have sufficed to justify the immediate employment
of force; but the capture of the Covadonga went
further than anything else to provoke a serious
change in the situatiop. After an aggression of that
character, it was indispensable 'promptly to employ
a remedy for these provocations and attacks, and
this remedy could only be a reparation obtained at
any price.

" For this purpose the Government communicated
its instructions to the chief of the squadron as soon
as it became acquainted with the event, and, in con-
sequence of these orders, our naval forces went in
search of the enemy, to engage him in open and de-
cisive combat. Two Spanish frigates alone began
the attack against the squadron of allied Republics,
but their attempt remained without result, as their
adversaries had taken measures to conceal them-
selves in inaccessible retreats. .

" No other resource, therefore, remained than to
appeal to a bombardment, as being the last and only
means of rendering the employment of force effica-
cious. The situation had become absolutely insup-
portable. At the end of six months of an inefficient
blockade, it is neither possible, nor just, nor digni-
fied to preserve indefinitely a useless attitude, and

continually to suffer insults upon the part of an
enemy who systematically refuse to fight.
" But at this extremity, before directing our guns
upon Valparaiso, the commandant of the squadron,
interpreting and carrying out to their extremest
limits the conciliatory desires of the Spanish Go-
vernment, offered to Chili, not once but twice, an
honourable mode of avoiding the attack, by accept-
ing the propositions which had been made by Eng-
land and France under altogether different and less
.
serious circumstances.

" The definitive reply of Chili to this chi ;alrous
offer was the despatch of a disgraceful challenge,
equivalent to a fresh insult, at the very moment
when the blow threatened most closely. Conse-
quently there no longer existed a single admissible
pretext for suspending the bombardment, and in the
forced alternative of choosing between ignominious
tolerance or a perfectly justified act of aggression,
the commandant of the squadron could not hesitate
an instant. Ile ordered fire,'not
having previously adopted precautions requisite in
favour of humanity and of neutral interests.
"The Chilian Government had undoubtedly
supposed that by disarming the towns upon the
seaboard, and by avoiding encounters calculated to
put the strength of its arms to the test, nothing
would prevent it from insulting and attacking us
with impunity under the protection of ita own weak
ness. It is easy to understand. that if the principle
of declaring disarmed places inviolable were to be
admitted, weak and defenceless nations might, with-
out any responsibility, insult others, and be exempt
from the most sacred duties justice imposes.
" In whatever light the question is viewed, it is
certain that Spain, in adopting the determination
so underinationto
bombard Valparaiso, had proceeded to do

the subjects of friendly nations, but she recognises
that this is an evil inherent to war to which strangers
settled in belligerent countries are inevitably ex-
posed. The futile efforts eshe has made to avert
these losses arenotorious; and, upon the other hand,
none have suffered more, nor do suffer more directly
than Spanish subjects domiciled in Peru. I consider
it useless, after having cited the above facts, to per-
sist in pointing out upon which side are right, rea-
son, generosity, and the greatest self-denial, and
which side also has been guilty of obstinacy, ani-
mosity, and bad faith ; but I will not conclude
without repeating a solemn protest that, under pre-
sent circumstances, it will serve to confirm the
loyalty of our views.

" Spain sincerely deplores the necessity in which
she has been placed of proceeding with much rigour
against the Chilian Government. She persists in
her declaration that neither vengeance nor hatred
have inspired her with any animosity towards the
Republic to which she is now opposed, and that she
has always been ready to conclude an honourable
peace ; but at the same time she fulfils her duty by
showing that the blind conduct of Chili 'and her
allies has prevented peace and provoked inevitable
acts of violence. Their pride and their as
well as the slight consideration in which they are
held by friends and enemies, are the true causes of
the destruction that has taken place, and has made
the war disastrous for all. It is therefore upon
Chili and her allies exclusively that must weigh both
the fault and the responsibility for all these conse-
quences.

.... --'A
MEETING OF SAILORS. AI s
A crowded meeting of the seamen now on strike
_.
in the port of London took place on Monday night,'_-
_
at the Star, Dock-street, London Dock, opposite
the new building of the Sailors' Home, for the two-
fold
purpose of encouraging the men in their present
demand for an advance of wages, and to promote
the establishment of a society which has been started
by the sailors to be called " The London Seamen
Protection Speiety." Mr. King took the chair, and
it was stated that, although the movement among
the men for an increase of pay had only been re-
cently commenced, the sailors, might congratulate
themselves on what they had already accomplished,
i and if they were only united and firm in their course
of action, they would succeed in obtaining a proper
remuneration for the arduous and perilous services
which they rendered the shipowner. The proposed
• society which they were solicited to join would put
them in a position to secure a higher rate of wages,
and also to afford them other advantages. The en-
trance card that was given to members on enrolling
themselves in the society bore the folloiltg as the
terms on which they Ivould take employment You
are requested not to sign for less than the unilennen- .

ment before signing them, and if the rate of wages

quested not to sign." In the course of a somewhat
protracted discussion it was mentioned that several

assist the men during the time they were holding
out, should any of them be turned out of the Home.

After some further discussion, the proceedings

A number of men were enrolled in the society
during the evening, and a good amount of silver was
handed in. It was noticed that there were several
foreigners amongst the body of seamen. It was
stated that some hands had been shipped to New
