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.

L AMBETH ELECTION.

The following correspondence has been forwarded
to us for publication :
" South Molton, Sept. 29.

" My dear Mr. Selway,—l have just had a very
pressing requisition to stand for Frome in the place
of Sir Henry Rawlinson, the present member, who
proposes to retire. The grounds of the application
are, that all sections of the Liberal party there will
unite to suport me.
" Of course now that we have opened the cam-
paign iu Lambeth on certain distinct principles, I
shall not accept this offer except with the cordial
approval of yourself and the leading members of
our committee. I should be obliged, therefore, if
you will consult them at once, and let me know as
early as possible how you feel and would wish me
o„ the matter. Personally I see the advan-
tage in the proposed change that I shall be fighting
the battle of a united Liberal party against a Tory
instead of running against at least three other Libe-
rals with the possibility of letting in a Conservative.
If, however, you, after consultation, tell me that you
think the battle ought to be fought through in any
ea,e for the purpose of breaking down the system of
legalised corruption which is still unfortunately
prevalent in Lambeth, I am in your hands, and am
quite ready to go the poll.
" As it will he of the greatest moment to act
promptly in this matter, I hope you will be able to
come to a speedy decision.—Ever most truly yours,
" THOMAS HUGHES."

" Walworth, Oct. 1, 1868.

"My dear Sir,—l have laid your letter of the
29th ult. before several of the gentlemen engaged
in promoting your election, and am to convey to
you our high appreciation of your generous proposal
to relinquish your candidature in this borough
rather than endanger the Liberal cause.
" It is much to be regretted that here and else-
where several Liberals should be fighting against
each other.

" In so large a borough the difficulties of ascer-
taining which two of several candidates would be
most acceptable to the electors are almost insur-
mountable otherwise than by actual pping ; but
we have every reason to believe your return would
be tolerably certain ; yet if all go to the poll the
risk of admitting a Conservative would doubtless
be greatly enhanced.
" We think that your election in 1865 was an
honour to the borough, and had hoped that your
return to the new Parliament, after conducting the
forthcoming contest upon the pure and econo-
mic line you had laid down, would still fur-
ther elevate the political condition of the elec-
tors ; but while we experience great regret in con-
templating your retirement we feel that at this im-
portant crisis, when the question before the people
is justice to Ireland, and the unshackling in that
island of the Church from the State, we should be
wanting in the first duties of citizens did we allow
any personal consideration to weigh ever so lightly
against these great principles; and we say, there-
fore, that if you feel the cause of Liberalism can be
best served by your retiring from this borough and
contesting a seat elsewhere against a Tory candi-
date, we can only wish you God speed in your
chivalrous enterprise.-1 am, yours faithfully,
" W. R. SELWAY.

Re'lief and Remedy.—lt is useless here to enter into the
question how this ointment works such astounding cures
of all descriptions of sores, ulcers, bad legs, and scorbutic
or scrofulous eruptions. Sufficient it is fur all sufferers to
know that the united testimony of thousands proves the
healing powers of Holloway's ointment, and earnestly re-
commend; its trial to all affected with these maladies.
When the treatment is once commenced the ease and com-
fort it bestows will induce its steady continuance until the
cure is completed. In chronic cases, the pills used in
operative rather than purgative doses, much enhance the
curative effect of the ointment.

discussed at the Congress would be overwhelming ; but
Lord Brougham would have been equally at home in every
subject. Lord Carnarvon's modesty prevents him from'
speaking with similar confidence ; and almost the only
subjects on which he pronounces a decided opinion are'
those of prison discipline and education. On other sub-
jects he is contented with a candid and able summary of
the main points at issue. It is of considerable advantage
to have thus forced upon our attention the extreme com-
plexity of modem life. There is not one of the many sub.
jects mentioned by Lord Carnarvon which is not of
material importance to our safety, our health, and wealth.
The Social Science Association has been the object of
some banter on account of the universality of its
aims ; but it must be allowed that social life, in its full
modern development, is really interested in almost every
department of human thought and work. If there be
be such a thing as a Social Science, it may be called the
science of applying all other sciences and arts to the needs
of civilised life. Properly speaking, it would be, in great
part, the science of legislation, and Lord Carnarvon,
indeed, seems conscious that he is reviewing the legisla-
tion of the past session, and indicating the tasks of
future Parliaments. But in Parliament all subjects are
necessarily considered with reference to immediate prac-
tice, and there is no time to bring so vast a field under
view as is surveyed in this opening address. The Times
deprecates the tendency of enthusiasts to think too much
of their hobbies, to hold to one principle and to
carry it through, regardless of what may overturn in the
process. There is rather a tendency now-a-days in old
philosophers and young statesmen to reconsider every
institution ab ovo, and to contemplate an almost total
reconstruction of society. It may be very well for con.
templation, but we have too much at stake to put such
theories into practice. The machine is too complex to
endure any material derangement. We must work upon
the state of fthitigs before us, and gradually improve what
exists. This has been our safe and prosperous course
hitherto, and we trust the Social &deuce Congress, with
its curious combinations of omniscience and nescience,
will assist us in maintaining the same steady but constant
progress.

The Post says : The meeting of the Association for tne
Promotion of Social Science was worthily inaugurated on
Weanesday by a speech from Lord Carnarvon, which may
be said to resume almost every social subject to which
attention has of late been directed. The length of the
list, and the fact that if half the very sweeping changes
indicated as being necessary were ever carried out they
would revolutionise the daily life of the country, are
enough to shew how little advance has been made in these
matters up to the present time. Lord Carnarvon has
treated them all with a broadness which shews that, what-
ever his opinions may be upon political subjects, his views
upon social matters are of the most advanced description.
The Post reviews the subjects treated by the earl, and
among other things observes : With regard to education
we are reminded that the time has happily passed when
" ignorance, whether in town or country, was regarded as
a means of safety to the rest of the community ;" but,
nevertheless, there are a great many not yet prepared
honestly to do something effectual to abate that ignorance.
The advisability of dissevering religious from secular in-
struction, and of making the latter compulsory, are to be
treated, and in all probability both propositions will be
affirmed, and nothing less will be efficient.
The Daily News holds that if Lord Carnarvon appeared
to touch a great variety of subjects and not fairly to
grapple with any, if he skimmed a vast surface without
attempting to sound the depths below, the fault was rather
in the method he adopted than in any insufficiency on
his own part. Some admirable passages in his address
shew what he might have done if he had concentrated
himself upon a limited theme. Future presidents of
the National Association may in this respect derive a
hint from the practice of the most eminent presidents
of the British Association. The most interesting
inaugural discourses delivered to the latter learned
body have not traversed the entire range of physical
science, but have dealt with some single problem or line of
thought. Mr. Grove's address last year at Nottingham
on the doctrine of continuity, and Dr. Hooker's review
of the Darwinian controversy at Norwich are instances
of the superiority of singling out a special line of
thought for development instead of wandering over a
vast field of research, and expressing, as the lady
in " Nicholas Nickleby " did, " a great variety
of opinions on a great variety of subjects." There
are indications in Lord Carnarvon's address of
a capacity for thoroughly treating some one of the many
subjects with which he played at touch-and-go. At the
same time there are signs in his discourse of a political
timidity which is at variance with the true freedom and
courage of science. Clerical prejudice is a by-word ; but

The herald urges the Conservatives to action. Glancing
at the Conservative array, as a whole, we find every
reason to eulogise the energy and tact which have been
displayed in organising it, and especially do we recognise
:he value and importance of the aid which has been ren•
dered by the working men's associations throughout the
country in infusing and concentrating the body of Con.
servative feeling which might otherwise have been frittered
away in helpless isolation. Whatever may be the result
of the present campaign, and we anticipate it with well.
grounded confidence, it will at least have taught the
Conservative party how widely diffused are Constitu•
tional principles, and how powerfully they may be
directed by careful organisation. What we need is greater
alacrity in those whose duty it is to take the lead in the
electioneering contests. In every centre of political
activity there are one or more personages of rank, influence,
or wealth to whom it naturally belongs to take the initia.
tive. If they hold back, the Conservative strength of the
district is in a fair way of being wasted. It was so in not
a few instances in the general election of 1865, and it will
not have been forgotten how in more than one case the
tenant farmers found it necessary to take the affair into
their own hands, and start their own candidate. With
every desire to see the landed interest taking its rightful
position in the present emergency, we do not hesitate to
urge that where there seems a rooted determination not
to stir, and to allow precious opportunities to pass away
neglected, it is the duty of the middle classes in the con.
stituencies to act for themselves, and to take measures for
ensuring that they shall be fairly represented in their
respective districts. This is no time for apathy or hang-
ing hack. The issues involved are too momentous, the
occasion too urgent, and the period available for action too
brief, to warrant hesitation or delay. There is work still
to be achieved ; there is still ground to be occupied ; and
that which remains to be done should be done promptly
and thoroughly.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON
AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.

On Thursday a fatal accident happened near to Bording.
bury station, on the Leamington and Coventry branch of
the London and North-Western Railway, to the train
which leaves Rugby at 12.30. The train consisted of the
engine and tender, five carriages, and two break vans.
About a mile and a half from Rugby, whilst running
along a piece of straight line, known as Draycot
bank, the whole of the carriages suddenly left the
metals and rolled down the embankment by the side
of the line. One of the second-class carriages was shivered
almost to fragments, and the others were more or less
broken. The engine and tender remained on the line,
and were despatched to Bordingbury, whence a tele.
gram was sent to Leamington for assistance. In the
meantime everything was done by the passengers who
had escaped being injured, to render aid to their less
fortunate fellow - travellers. Two gentlemen, named
Davis, were found in a dying state, and both expired
almost immediately they were extricated from the
debris of carriage. They were found to be father and
son. A Mr. Ebsworth, who had travelled from London,
received very serious injuries, and lies in a critical state ab
Leamington. Two German gentlemen were also hurt, one
having a dislocated shoulder, and the other sustained
injuries to his foot. Several other passengers were
bruised, cut, or severely shaken. As soon as assistance
arrived a fresh train was made up, in which the passengers
were conveyed to Leamington. Those lvho were unable
to proceed to their own homes were sent to the
hotel, where they were attended by Mr. Busby, surgeon.
Mr. Davis and his son were killed in the act of
attempting to leave their carriage at the moment
of precipitation down the embankment, the whole
force and weight of the falling carriage being thus
directly upon them. The passengers who escaped were
simply knocked about by the shocks occasioned by the car-
riages leaving the line and going over the embankment.
The hurts received by the wounded were of various kinds,
most of them being bruised more or less in the head. The
line is a single one, and had to be blocked for several hours
after the accident. 7he accident is attributed to the
excessively worn state of the rails, which, at the point
where the carriage left the line, must have given out by
the constant strain upon them. This is probably suggested
by the fact that the line is just undergoing repair. One
gentleman broadly asserted that the sleepers had rotted
completely away.
