1/fR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
IYJ... 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.

SCHOOL OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE, &c.
ADMIRALTY, Bth August, 1868.
THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the AD-
MIRALTY HEREBY GIVE NOTICE that the
arrangements for the ADMISSION of persons, not already
in the Government service, to the Royal School of Naval
Architecture and Marine Engineering as ADMIRALTY
PUPILS, will, for the present year, bo as follows :
Candidates must not bo less than 18 or more than 21
years of age, and must have served at least two years in
private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or
must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way
been so connected w.th shipbuilding or engineering opera-
tions as to become well-grounded in the elementary prin-
ciples and practice thereof.
The pupils will be selected by competitive examination,
the subjects for which, and :lumbers of marks assigned for
each, aro as follows : _

Marks.
Pure mathematics, including arithmetic, mensura-
tion, geometry (plain and descriptive), plane tri-
gonometry, and the elements of the differential
and integral calculus . 2,500
Applied mathematics, including mechanics and
hydrostatics ••• „, „, 1,000
Practical shipbuildi .
(fr

snipbuilding, including laying-o] (for
shipwright's candidates only) ... 2,000
Practical marine engineering (for engineer candi-
dates only) 2,500
French ... 500
Elements of physic and chymistry 750
English grammar and composition
Geography and History 750

No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at
least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two
first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number,
either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering.
'rho last four subjects, although counting in the compe-
tition, will not be considered obligatory.
The candidates who may be selected will be treated,
while attached to the School, in all respects as the Admi-
ralty pupils; they will receive wages the same as dock-
yard apprentices, commencing at is. 6d. per day for six
days per week for first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per
day till it reaches 2s. per day ; and in addition a subsist-
ence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week
while away from their home; either at the S,thool or in
the dockyards.

Seven months of each year—viz., from October till May
—will be devoted to study at the School,aud the remaining
five months to actual work and the acquirement of practi-
cal knowledge in the dockyards.
It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en-
gagements to employ these pupils after the completion of
their course of study; and they must rely on their own
worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ-
ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils
to bo selected this year is one shipwright and one engineer.
Persons desirous of competing must forward their names,
with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which
they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing
proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the
Admiralty, not later than the Ist September.
The candidates should also state whether they wish to
be examined as engineers or shipwrights.
The examination will take place on the 28th September
and three following days.
By command of their Lordships,
HENRY GORDON LENNDX.
