It. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new description
of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or liga-
tures. They so pm fectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they
will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
any teeth ever before used. Tais method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support
and preserve, teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore
articulation altd mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and ren-
dered sound and useful in mastication..

CiANDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.—A
V Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to
Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for " Candles,
Glycerine, and Soap"—the only one to any British exhibi-
tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of
the Company are their " BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S
PARAFFINE" for those who must have• the ex reme
transparency of pure Paraffine ; their "GOLD MEDAL
PALMITINE" and "SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for
those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require
also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke
and smell; their good old-fashioned " B ELMONT SPERM
AND WAX," and "BEST" "No. 2," "No. 3," and
"BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require
only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and
their "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter,
to avoid the dropping of grease when carried. Their new
toilet soap, h PRICE'S SOLIDIFIE ) GLYCERINE" con-
tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, and should
be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of
its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and
face. There ougbt also to be in every house one of the sealed
bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every-
where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three drips
of which, mixed with three or four times as much water,
will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of
skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is
effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied
once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and
roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the
Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure
Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low
rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with
Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well
as at home order " PRICE'S" as the one only Glycerine to
be used.
" PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for
burning in the wide glasses are believed to be the very
best-Night Lights made. " PRICE'S CHILD'S NIGHT
LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and are excellent for
burning without a glass.

OONSOLIDATED BANK (Limited).—At a
General Meeting of the Proprietors, held at the Lon-
don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, in the City of London, on
Thursday, 23c1 January, 1868, JOHN PENDER, Esq., in
the Chair, the following Report was presented :
In laying before the shareholders their usual half-yearly
statement of accounts, the directors wish to draw attention
to the general stagnation of trade and to the low rate of
discount which have prevailed throughout the last six
months.
The bank has, during that period, made steady pro-
gress, and the number of its customers exhibits a continu-
ous increas
The accounts show that, after payment of all current
expenses, interest to customers, rebate of interest on bills
iu hand, income tax, and directors' remuneration, there
remains a net profit for the six months of £27,263 9 1
To which has to be added the balance from
last half-year of B,lBB 4 7

Making a total of
This sum it is proposed to appropriate as follows :
To the payment of a divi-
dend, for the half-year, at
the rate of 5 per cent. per
annum, free of income
tax
To reserved surplus fund
(which, with interest
already added, will then
amount to..£100,000) 3,100 0 0
To special reserve fund
(which will then be
£20,000)
Carrying forward to next
account the balance of 2,351 13 8
.£35,45113 8

It will be seen that in pursuance of the pre.cautionar;
policy set forth in their last half-yearly statement, the di-
rectors have added a further sum of £lO,OOO to the special
reserve fund.
The directors have to lament the death of one of their
most valued colleagues, Mr. James Aspinall Turner, the
late deputy-chairman of the bank. His services to this
institution, from his first connection with it to the period
of his death, merit their ample and grateful recognition.
The post thus rendered vacant has been offered to, and
accepted by, Mr. Murray Gladstone.
The directors retiring by rotation are Messrs. Matthew
Curtis, Thomas Fairbairn, Edward Ryley Langwortby,
Ivie Mackie, and John Ponder. These gentlemen being
eligible, will be proposed for re-election.
The meeting will also be invited to elect two auditors.
Messrs. David Chadwick and William Cooper offer them-
selves for re-election.

The dividend warrants will bo payable on and after the
Ist February next.

ARREST OF GEORGE FRANCIS TRAM.

The Cork police have been more zealous than dis-
creet in their arrest of George Francis Train, and
have probably done just what George Francis wanted
them to do. That gentleman certainly arrived in
Ireland almost with the first report of his Boston
speech, in which he transcended his late efforts in
behalf of the Irish patriots. But everybody knows
that George Francis Train talks like a windmill,
which spreads out its arms and goes on with an in-
cessant " clack," no matter how light the breeze, or
from what quarter. Mr. Train speaks on any sub-
ject his audience suggests, with a surprising fluency
and assurance. Whether it be Woman's Eights
or a financial problem—whether it be empire for
the Irish or slavery for the negro,matters little to Mr.
Train, for he is equal,to the occasion,and therefore as
alecturer in a country where such oratory is of value,
worth his weight in gold. But nobody attaches im-
portance to Mr.Train's spontaneous outpourings. On
board an English steamer, surrounded with English-
men, he appears to have declaimed in the same style
as at Boston, probably to the amusement of the offi-
cers and passengers of the Scotia. That sagacious
body, the Cork police, appear to have discovered a
dangerous conspirator in this American gentleman,
and they have given him a publicity which, we
have no doubt, will be highly gratifying. When
he returns he can include himself among those
champions of freedom who have fallen victims to
the English oligarchy, and Mr. Train will know how
to make capital out of the incident. He was libe-
rated on Tuesday, by order of the Irish Govern-
ment, to whom the Cork police referred the matter,
on his denial of any seditious intention, and his
promise, that during his residence in the United
Kingdom, he would not countenance Fenianism.
He intends, it is said, to take proceedings against
the Government, laying damages at £lOO,OOO, for
the illegal arrest, and he has already telegraphed
to the President, calling the attention of the Ameri-
can Government to the subject.
From the fuller accounts that have reached us
of the arrest we are more than ever satisfied that
it was a mistake. He was first confined in the
police barrack, where he lay on the floor. In the
morning he was allowed to breakfast in the Queen's
Hotel, and at ten o'clock he was taken before a
full bench of magistrates. The head-constable
stated the facts of the arrest, and gave a list of the
papers found, among which were copies of the Irish
Citizen, Irish People, Boston Pilot, and the Fenian
Volunteer, which contained a leader nominating
Mr. Train for the Presidency ;
also his speeches to
the Fenian Congress in Philadelphia in 1865, and
before the St. Patrick's Society in London in 1861.
These were readily surrendered, and every facility
given to the police in the examination. Mr. Train
asked whether the police or the magistrates were
the higher, and being informed the magistrates
of course, he said that on Friday night he was
taken before Mr. Tarrant, who, thinking the ar-
rest a mistake, asked him to give his word as a
gentleman not to leave Queenstown without per-
mission ; but, although he complied, he was con-
fined under guard, re-examined, and his pockets
searched. The inspector of police explained that
additional information had been given by Constable
Mahony, aid on the pamphlets and papers being
handed to him he had considered it necessary to
continue the arrest. The magistrates made out a
warrant for the detention of Mr. Train in the
gaol at Cork, although Mr. Eastman, the American
Consul, strongly advised the Bench to let Mr.
Train go. The prisoner was marched through the
streets of Queenstown between two constables with
loaded carbines to the Cork station. He desired
to be removed from a third-class to a first-class car-
riage, and on paying the fare, observed, "every man
ought to elevate himself when he can." His restless
energy remained nudampted, and he immediately
commenced writing, though the governor inter-
cepted his letters. His talent of mimicry was
exercised on the gaol officials, and he appears to
have proved a fund of fun to all but the myrmidons
of the law. His account of his cell is very good.
I have been in many gaols, he observed, but never
before in a murderer's cell. " It was 9 feet square ;
walls, 2 feet thick ; lock, 1 foot square ; key, 10
inches long, weighs a pound ; straw bed, no pillow ;
no mat on cold stone floor; no candle allowed. Hence,
from 5 p.m to 7 a.m., fourteen hours in dark ; no
clothes since arrested, no knife to clean fingers, no
comb for hair. Nothing left on my person but
these few sheets of Monsieur Gayety, prison bread,
stirabout, and milk and water for my diet. Theory
of British law—every one innocent till found
guilty--practice, everybody guilty till found in-
nocent. Of course he had heard nothing from
Adams probably playing poker with Stanley as
Seward used to play whist with Lord Lyons." It
is clear that he neither looked for a long
arrest nor protracted residence in the United
Kingdom, as he desired his friends to address
" Care of Monroe, Paris." The Radicals, he says,
will be glad to sec him locked up, and asks
if the suggestion came from Washington. Miss
Anthony's new paper, the Revolution, to which we
have elsewhere alluded, appears to have struck with
force on the imagination of the pollee. They
wanted no more; that was sufficient, so all were at
once confiscated. "Here I am !" exclaims Mr.
Train " give yourselves U 9 trouble, shed uo tears,

My friends Beecher, Phillips, Greeley, and Pilton
will be sure that I get my deserts. Let no measures
be taken for my release—my ambition ended long
ago; my destiny, however, may still be moving on."
Mr. Train will now "stump" the country, and de-
liver lectures intending to make it pay him largely,
not because he wants money, oh no ! " A man
who owns four-fifths of the city of Omaha," and
is nominated for the President ? No ; but he will
make the British pay. " You know," he says,
"what Charles Dickens did in his ' American
Notes' and ' Martin Chuzzlewit,' yet when he goes
back to my country they kiss his feet and -give him
dollars to no end. George Francis Train may have
said hard things of the British in his own country,
but when he comes here what do they do? Clap
him in a murderer's cell." " The British," he adds,
" have played the dickens' with me, and I'll play
the ' dickens' with them." With these sentiments
he intends to make a tour through the country.--

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

Yesterday an order was received at Chatham
garrison from the Horse Guards, directing 35 non-
commissioned officers and men of the 109th Bombay
Infantry, and 29 men of the 106th Bombay Light
Infantry, to proceed to India, by the overland route,
to join the service companies of their respective
corps. The officers ordered to proceed with the
detachments are Captain J. A. Nutt, commanding
the depot of the 109th Regiment, and Lieutenant
C. L. Heathcote, 106th Regiment. Lieutenant A.
Fawkes, Ist battalion of the Bth Regiment, has re-
ceived orders to be in readiness to embark for Cal-
cutta on the 30th inst.
The Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief has
ordered the following promotions and appointments
at the head-quarters of the Royal Engineer estab-
lishment, Chatham :—Captain Bruce Brine, com-
manding the 28th company of Royal Engineers at
the Curragh Camp, to be Adjutant at the head-
quarters of the Royal Engineer establishment,
Brompton, vice Capt. F. A. Marindin, who has
proceeded on special service with the Abyssinian
expedition ; Capt. C. E. Webber has been ordered
to proceed from Chatham to Ireland to take over
the command of the, 28th company of Royal Engi-
neers from Capt. B. Brine ; Lieut. E. P. Washing-
ton has proceeded from Chatham to Weymouth for
the purpose of doing duty with the detachment of
Royal Engineers at that station ; and Lieut. W.
James, ordered to Portsmouth for duty with the
Royal Engineers in the South-Western District.
Lieut, R. W. Stewart has joined at head-quarters.
The 56th (West Essex) Regiment, under the
command of Col. Lacy, left Aldershot camp on Sa-
turday en route for Ireland.
A detachment of Royal Marine Artillery, com-
prising Capt. Horsey (in command), Lieuts. Digby
and Moore, and 100 non-commissioned officers and
gunners, sailed from Portsmouth for Ireland yes-
terday morning in the Buzzard, 6, paddle sloop,
Staff Commander James G. H. Thain. The detach-
ment marched into the dockyard and embarked on
board the Buzzard on the previous day from head-
quarters at Eastney.
Her Majesty's 5 gun screw vessel Ranger, Com-
mander William A. Cambier, from the West Coast
of Africa, was yesterday paid out of commission at
Woolwich, and the whole of the continuous service
men left on leave of absence. The complement
consisted of 60 men and boys, all told, some of whom
were paid arrears of back pay, amounting to £7O
and £BO each. They were met at the dockyard
gates by the usual crowd of hangers-on attendant
on such occasions, by whom they are so frequently
defrauded. • Some of the men, however, took the
wholesome advice of their officers, and forwarded
large amounts through the paymaster to their
homes.

In accordance with an order issued by Col. J. L.
A. Simmons, C. 8., superintendent of the Royal
Engineer establishment, Chatham, a full-dress
parade of the whole of the officers, non-commissioned
officers, and sappers, together with the members of
the staff at head-quarters, was held at Brompton
barracks on the occasion of the promulgation to the
corps of a special regimental memorandum from
Field-Marshal Sir John F. Burgoyne, K.C.G., late
the Inspector-General of Royal Engineers, having
reference to his retirement from active service in
connection with the corps of Royal Engineers.
The whole of the officers and men, numbering little
short of 1,000 of all ranks, having been drawn up
in square in the centre of the parade ground, ad-
joining the Crimean Memorial Arch, Col. Simmons,
addressing the battalion, alluded to the distinguished
honour which had been conferred by her Majesty
on the Royal Engineers in having raised Sir John
Burgoyne to the rank of Field-Marshal, the occasion
being the first of an officer of the corps being raised
to that high rank with the exception of the Duke of
Cambridge, Colonel of the regiment. Col. Sim-
mons then alluded to the distinguished and length-
ened services of Field-Marshal Sir John Burgoyne.
At the close of the address of Col. Simmons, the
following " memorandum," issued to the corps of
Royal Engineers by Sir John Burgoyne, was read
by Brigade-Major R. Harrison :

" Field-Marshal Sir John Burgoyne cannot re-

of a corps in which he will never cease to feel the
deepest pride and interest. On such an occasion
he cannot refrain from calling to mind the great
changes that have taken place in the corps since he
first entered the service. In the midst of the greatest
war in which this country has ever been engaged, the
corps was then held in such little consideration that
it was without a single sapper, had no recognised
field equipment, and during prolonged campaigns
with armies in the field possessed only a few indivi-
dual officers to carry on arduous sieges, intrench
camps of magnitude, and perform all the varied and
important duties of the Engineer service. Nor were
the duties in garrison or military stations better pro-
vided for, although the effects were of less import-
ance. Those days are happily at an end, and the
corps now possesses a fine body of well-trained en-
gineer soldiers, fully instructed in every field duty,
and is thoroughly competent to undertake any of
the active services of war. As regards its ordinary
peace duties it has given proof of its efficiency in
the control and management of the great works of
defence, considered to be so necessary, at home and
abroad, and of which the design and execution are
acknowledged to be at least equal to those of a simi-
lar character in any other country. An additional
proof of the estimation in which the corps is held
may be noted in the large proportion of its officers
and men selected for extraneous positions of an
arduous and responsible character under other
branches of the Government. Much of the im-
proved condition of the Engineer service may be
attributed to the spirit and exertions of its indivi-
dual officers; but it is due, in a still greater degree,
to the increased value which the progress of science
has given to the special branches of the army, and
to the higher appreciation with which the profes-
sion is regarded by the military authorities and
country at large. After an association extending
lover 70 years, and comprising many periods of
difficulties and hardships, Sir John Burgoyne takes
leave of his comrades of all ranks with the strongest
sentiments of esteem and regard, and with the
fullest confidence in their future prosperity and
distinction."
14 hen the memorandum had been read, Colonel
Simmons called for, and led off, three cheers for
Field-Marshal Sir John F. Burgoyne, which were
vociferously and heartily responded

marched off to their quarters.
Mi. E. J. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Navy,
paid his first official visit since his recovery from
the injuries he sustained by the railway accident
in France to Chatham Dockyard on Saturday last,
and was engaged for some time with the officials
of the establishment in the inspection of the vessels
