MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

DEATH OF ANOTHER INVENTOR.

Few inventors are so fortunate as .Sir William
Armstrong and Major Palliser. Few live to see their
inventions adopted and themselves rewarded. Poor
Mr. Snider died just a few weeks before his rifle was
accepted for the British army, after weary years of
deferred hope and heart-sickness ; and now Mr.
Chalmers is dead, having for something like eight
years vainly fought against the adverse influence of
the Ordnance Select Committee—probably the most
obstructive body that ever existed—in the effort to
get his shield fairly tested. The public and the press
know well enough that Mr. Chrlmers's system of
defence for ships and forts was by far the best, but the
Committee was more powerful than either, and so for
years we have b een building vessels that would be unable
to fight, and constructing forts which, like that at
Plymouth Breakwater and the Gibraltar Shields, are
simply a delusion and a snare. Mr. Chalmers died
on Saturday, just as his second target ordered by the
authorities was on the eve of completion, for further
experiments. He leaves, we regret to learn, a widow
and family in very straitened circumstances. He was
also the projector of the Channel Railway.

THE MEMBERS FOR SALFORD.

A complimentary dinner has been given to the
members for Salford, Mr. Cawley and Mr. Charley,
at the licrsal-moor Hotel. Mr. Cawley was pre-
vented from attending by indisposition, but Mr.
Charley was present, and among the guests was the
minority member for Manchester, Mr. Hugh Birley.
This gentleman spoke at some length upon the con-
stitution of the new House of Commons. He said
that if the country at large had not fol-
lowed the example of Lancashire, they
lust remember that it had checked a gooa
deal of the revolutionary element which was shewing
itself. Even such men as Mr. Mill and those who
specially advocated him had had no chance in their
constituencies. The new House will, in Mr. Birley's
opinion, be a very steady one, and he believes that
even the Liberals are glad of it. Mr. Charley,
the guest of the evening, dwelt chiefly upon the
great local victory of the Conservatives, which he
said nd Liberal could understand. The verdict in
their favour had been given by working men, and he
thought the reason of their success in Salford was
that the question had been fairly put before the con-
stituency. Mr. Charley appeared blissfully ignorant
of the fact that he and his colleague have been
petitioned against, and that perhaps another cause
may be discovered for the Constitutional victory in
Salford than that which he assigned.

LORD MAYO AND THE MINISTRY.

A correspondent of the Daily- News considers it
fortunate for all parties that the report of Lord
Mayo's recall has proved to be entirely without
foundation. Ile reminds us that there have been
only two cases of such a recall in the present century,
with the exception of Lord Ellenborough's removal,
which was the exclusive work of the directors. In •
1812 the Prince Regent insisted upon the post
of Governor-General being conferred on his
friend Lord Moira, and Lord Minto was recalled
eighteen months before the time fixed for
his return. Again : Lord Ileytesbury was appointed
Governor-General by the Tories, and was preparing
his outfit, when the sudden accession of the Whigs
to office stopped his voyage altogether. They dis-
placed him on the ground that they must be respon-
sible for the policy of the Governor-General.
Neither of these precedents found favour with the
public, and Mr. Gladstone has done well to avoid
following them. If Lord Mayo had been recalled,
the case would have been worse than Lord Heytes-
bury's, because he would have landed in India, and
his immediate recall could not have failed to impair
the authority of Government, and might indeed have
led the natives to confound the Court of England
with. Courts like Gwalior or Ifydrabad, where a palace
intrigue may at any time displace a Minister, how-
ever able. One of the objections to Lord Mayo's
appointment is, that he has never had any training
for the post ; but Lord Cornwallis, Lord llast:ngs,
Lord Dalhousie, and Lord Canning were under the
same disadvantage. Another objection has been
that he has as yet given no signs of a high degree of
statesmanship ; but neither had Lord Wellesley nor
Lord Dalhousie when they first undertook to
govern India. Lord Mayo has had experience
in the affairs of Ireland, which are no
bad preparation for the government of
another country in which there exists some repug-
nance to the present rulers and a desire for a native
Government. In both there is the same absence of
self-reliance, and an undue dependence on the State
for every improvement. The domestic policy of the
Indian Government is always left to the local
authorities, while the foreign policy must be decided
by the home Government, whose instructions can now
reach Calcutta or Simla in twenty-four hours.
It is not, therefore, indispensable that the personal
politics of the Viceroy should be in all respects in
accord with those of the Cabinet which directs him.
Such is the argument of a writer in a Liberal
journal, who evidently considers that English party
politics ought to be intruded as little as possible into
the government of India.

RO/AL AMPHITHEATRE AND CIRCUS,
HOLBORN.
The Proprietors of this elegant Establishment, in announcing
to their patrons and the public their PROGRAMME for the
Christmas and New Year Holidays, desire to draw attention to
the high character and varied nature of the performances. and
also to the comfortable accommodation provided throughout the
building. The Press has been unanimous in pronouncing the
entertainment the best, and the Theatre the most comfortable,
in London; and the Proprietors, encouraged by the success of
their past endeavours, will relax* no effort to provide an enter-
tainment unequalled and unsurpassable, and in which both old
and young may participate with pleasure and delight. It must
be remembered that the Proprietors of the Amphitheatre and
Circus do not rely on any attempt at outside show, tinselled dis-
play, or gorgeous procession, having every confidence in the
proved talent of the Company, and the well-known character of
the performance, to insure for them the public support.. Still,
at this Festive season additional attractions are needed, and these
the Proprietors have supplied. The Programme embraces every
novelty which it has been possible to obtain. The SCENES in
the AR Iq:NA will introduce the most TALENTED ARTISTES in the
World, and a STUD of HORSES which are the theme of universal
acl.niration. The OLYMPIC REVELS are specially attractive, and
embrace several new and astonishing Feats.

THE STORAGE OF COMBUSTIBLE OILS.

The right of tradesmen and others to keep upon their
premises large quantities of paraffin, benzoline, and other
dangerous substances is a question of considerable
importance. These useful but perilous oils are
now so much in request, and the accidents arising
from them have become so frequent, that their safe
and proper storage is a matter which affects us all more or
less. Independently of the terrible disaster at Abergele,
they have produced accidents in manufactories, in store-
houses, in kitchens ; and we are not surprised that
the authorities of Sheffield have thought it advisable to
raise the question as to the right of storage at law. On Mon-
day the chief constable informed the bench of magistrates
that he had taken out a summons against Mr. Watts, of
South-street, Sheffield. Some time since a fire occurred
on Mr. Watts's premises, happily without any serious
results, but his neighbours naturally became uneasy, as he
does a large business in paraffin, benzoline, and similar
substances. The constable, therefore, brought
the matter under the notice of the bench, in
order that Mr. Watts might have the opportunity
of giving an explanation. The Town Council
or local authority may give a license for the sale or storage
of petroleum under the Act relating to it, but,
Mr. Watts argued that it could not be proved
that benzoline was a product of petroleum ; in fact,
it had not been discovered when the Act was passed.
The quantity of petroleum usually allowed to be kept in
stock is about 200 gallons, but Mr. Watts has more than
2,000. The constable stated that he had now in store seven
casks of paraffin, and sixty of benzoline, each cask con-
taining thirty gallons. The ex-Mayor said that he should
have no hesitation in committing Mr. Watts for man-
slaughter in case of a fatal accident occurring through the
storage of so much oil, and told him that it was his duty
to take every possible precaution. The constable then
said that he would go on with the case, and he should
obtain the opinion of qualified chemists. Mr. Watts
acquiesced, and promised to reduce his stock considerably.
Monday next is the day anointed for hearing this impor-
tant cas

THE MANUFACTURE OF WATCHES AND CLOCKS.--
A most intereEting and instructive little work, describing briefly
but with great clearness, the rise and progress of watch and
clock makin , has just been published by Mr J. W. Benson, of
25, Old Bond-street, 99, Westbourne-grove, and the City Steam
Factory, 58 and GO, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely
illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches
and clocks, with their prices, and no one should make a purchase
without visiting the above establishments or consulting this truly
valuable work. By its aid persons residing in any part of the
United Kingdom, India, or the Colonies, are enabled to select for
themselves the watch best adapted for their use, and have it sent
to them with perfect safety. Mr. Benson, who holds the appoint..
ment to the Prince of Wales, sends this pamphlet to any address
on receipt of two postage etamps, and we cannot too strongly
recemraead it to the notice 91 the intending purchaser

SPAIN.

The Independance Beige publishes a Merlin telegram
affirming that the Spanish envoy at London will be
officially received by Queen Victoria.
La Esperanza of Madrid says that the members of the
Provisional Government have determined to give up the
candidature of Espartero and to rally finally and unani-
mously round, the Duke of Montpensier. A meeting of
military officers has just taken place. The project of pro-
cl4miug the Orleans prince without further ceremony was

seriously discussed and strongly advocatea oy 'several
influential generals. Better counsels, it appears, pre-
vailed. After all that Spain has undergone since Queen
Isabella and her attendant heroes crossed the Pyrenees,
it would be a discreditable failure of the Revolution to
solve the difficulty by way of pronunciamento. Further,
the Duke of Montpensier, in his recent manifesto, dis-
claims any intention to act otherwise than in accordance
with the vote of the nation. The present delay is,
undoubtedly, dangerous, but a tardy settlement of the
succession problem is better than a violent one.
The letter of Don Henri de Bourbon, brother of the
ex-King of Spain, is partly a violent denunciation of the
Duke's candidature, partly advOcacy of a Republic. Can-
didates for vacant thrones will doubtless generally prepare
to hear tolerably hard things said of them ; but of the
many unkind cuts at the Duke of Montpensier none can
be compared to Don Henri's. His letter is remarkable
for the amount of Billingsgate which it manages to
compress into one stupendous period of fifty-six lines.
Beyond this it is remarkable for nothing. The Liberte,
which publishes the letter, thinks it noteworthy—in fact,
a victory to the Republican cause—that a Bourbon, a
descendant of Louis XIV., should consider Washington
the type of political integrity. But the opinion of a dis-
graced and proscribed prince, whom years of adversity
have not taught the value of moderation, is nut worth
having on any subject whatever.
The journals which immediately after the Cadiz affair
generally abused the Duke of Montpensier, are rapidly
converting themselves. The process has not, however,
been sufficiently rapid to save the Monarchist cause at the
recent elections. ,The Republicans have gained a most
unexpected victory.

ELECTION AGREEMENTS.

There were no contests at the general election
which afforded more amusement than those in which
a member of a divided constituency coalesced with a
man of his own party, and then got beaten himself.
Such a contest took place in Cambridgeshire. The
old member (Mr. Young) took clown Mr. Brand, the
retired "whip," hoping to beat either Lord George
Manners or Lord Royston. Both those noble lords,
however, " went in," and Mr. Young, to his extreme
surprise and disgust, found himself, and n -it Mr.
Brand, at the bottom of the poll. A case
similar, in some respects, was the election for
the county of Denbigh. Here Colonel Biddulph
was the sitting member. Mr. Morgan was, against
the Colonel's will, accepted as the second Liberal
candidate. He declared that he did not intend to

oppose Colonel Biddulph. But the gallant officer
would have nothing to do with him, and ordered his
canvassers to obtain plumpers for him. This, how-
ever, he soon found would bring about his rejection.
But he still refused to coalesce. The result was that
he, and riot Ar. Morgan, was defeated. Thereupon
he turned on the successful candidate and
charged him. with breaking his pledge—of not
opposing the " old Liberal member.' Mr. Morgan
has written an explanation of the matter, which
seems to be a satisfactory one. Ile declares that at
the outset of the contest he was prepared not only
to give precedence to Colonel Biddulph, but to defray
his election expenses, but that the Colonel refused to
coalesce with him. It was found necessary to request
the Liberal voters to plump for Mr. Morgan, because
Colonel Biddulph's supporters were making common
cause with Sir W. Wynn, the Conservative candidate,
against him. When the Colonel's friends discovered
that his chances of re-election were doubtful, they
requested Mr. Morgan's committee not to " forget
Colonel Biddulph, but to return the two Liberal
candidates if possible. In compliance with this
request Mr. Morgan's committee at once "sent direc-
tions that the plumpers for Morgan" should be
altered into " splits" for Morgan and Biddulph, but
at the same time no " express understanding" was
come to. Mr. Morgan thinks that he may fearlessly
leave the question raised by Colonel Bid=
dulph to the decision of his own constituency.
That question is whether he should as a " point of
honour" have retired unless faith was kept with
Colonel Biddulph.

BONA FIDE TRAVELLERS.

That very old and vexatious question, " What is a
bond fide traveller 9" is again being discussed in the
metropolis. Is a man walking from one part of
London to another a traveller, and is he entitled to
a glass of beer as such ? Several of our metropoli-
tan contemporaries have discussed the question, some
arguing for a liberal interpretation of the
Act. But the objection to such an interpretation is
very neatly stated -by the Telegraph. Our contem-
porary asks, if a man going from one part
of London to another may drink during the pro-
hibited hours, what is to prevent the toper from
regularly making a journey in order that be may get
drunk without hindrance ? But how is the publican
to know a traveller? Is there a smell about him which
marks him. Otherwise—if the word of the would-be
drinker is all he has to rely on—many a man would
tell a lie to. get a pot of beer, and think that at such
a time he got it cheap.

THE FUTURE OF TRADES UNIONS.

During the present month the Trades Union Commis-
sioners have held several sittings for the purpose of
agreeing upon their report, which it is understood is now
completed, and will he laid before Parliament early in
the next session. It is stated that the report will be one
of the majority only, and that amongst its leading recom-
mendations will be found, that trades unions, under
certain limits, should be recognised by law, and theirfunds
placed under its protection ; that the rules of these unions
should be binding only on their members, and that any
attempt to enforce them upon unwilling workmen should
be punishable by law ; that the utmost freedom of
labour should exist in all trades ; and that the benevo-
lent and trade funds should be kept entirely distinct,
and that no moneys subscribed for benevolent pur-
poses should under any circumstances be applied to
trade or other extraneous objects. It is this last recom-
mendation that will meet with the strongest opposition
from the large and more influential trade societies, such as
the engineers, masons, joiners, bricklayers, plasterers,
boiler-makers, &c., on the ground that having subscribed the
money themselves, they have a right to dispose of it in
any way they think proper. Already, in anticipation of the
the court of the commissioners, the trades and trades
councils throughout the country are forming committees
to protect the interests of the unions by a united action
and opposition to the clauses of any bill that may be laid
before Parliament founded on the report of the commission
that may interfere with their fundamental principles, and
the right to amalgamate their funds, if they think proper
so to do.

THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA.

The telegraphic advices notifying the success of the
insurgents in Cuba are confirmed by all the more detailed
reports. The fighting has advanced within 150 miles of
Havanna. The British Consul has advised all British
subjects to register immediately. The Spanish troops
have suffered greatly from recent encounters, and aro
in pressing need of reinforcements. Sancto Espiritu,
an important inland town of 13,000 inhabitants,
has joined the Creoles. The Government has betaken
itself to that infallible mode of advertisieg ill-success—
"doctoring" the telegraph. Great alarm was caused at
Madrid on the day preceding Christmas by a telegram,
circulated at the Bourse, stating thal " the situation had
grown no worse : 2,000 troops have arrived, but 15,000 are
required in order to succeed." The Madrilenes, on
receipt of this message, began to entertain the opirion
that landed property which is running so low in the
market had better be put up to the hichest bidder.
