springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
nals 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.

LONDONDERRY AND ENNISKILLEN.

The report of the directors states that the rent of
the railway for the six months, £13,000, had been
received from the Irish North-Western Company by
weekly payments, less income-tax. The transfer
fees, &c., and the balance from the last account being
added to the rent, gave a gross total of £13,134,
from which was deducted interest on Government
loan and on debentures, office, and other expenses,
amounting together to £4,109, leaving a disposable
balance of £9,025 towards the payment of dividends
and arrears. The directors recommended that the
dividends, at the rate of 5 per cent per annum to the
31st of December last, be declared on the £3,062
stock B ; also the dividends, at the rate of 5 per
cent. per annum, on the £31,850 stock A ; also the
dividends, at the rate of 5 per cent., together with
1 per cent. on account of arrears, making 64 per
cent. per annum, on £247,738 stock B, leaving a
balance of £lOl. The directors regretted that they
were still unable to find a market for the deben-
tures, and in consequence they had in hand £12,849.
The result of the resolution passed at the last meet-
ing, authorising them to exchange deferred divi-
dend warrants for debenture stock, was that
£8,075 had been taken up, making the total
amount of debenture stock issued £54,145, thus
reducing the debentures subject to renewal from
£150,000 to £95,855. The directors had no alter-
native, but to recommend that deferred dividend
warrants should be issued for the amount of divi-
dends to the 31st of December last, which dividend
warrants might be exchanged, at the option of the
holders, for debenture stock bearing interest at 5
per cent. per annum. The directors recommended
that in future all such proprietors as might be de-
sirous of exchanging deferred dividend warrants

Mr. Muff's took occasion to bear testimony to
the public spirit which had • induced the late Com-
mission to adopt an entirely new system of sca-
venging throughout the city to the great saving of
the ratepayers, and also to the convenience of the
public.
The Court next re-elected the whole of the officers
of the corporation, 58 in number, for the ensuing
year, from the town clerk (Mr. Fred. Woodthorpe,
barrister-at-law), downwards, with the exception
of one (the corn shipper), who was appointed for
three months, pending an inquiry by a committee
into the manner in which the duties of the office
are performed. A conversation arose incidentally
as to the precedence among the officers of the
High Bailiff of Southwark (Mr. Gresham), and
as to the omission from the paper of business of
the prefix " high" to the designation of his office.
Mr. Gresham said, from the reign of Edward '
111. downwards the officer holding the appointment
had always been styled high bailiff. He was asked
what amount of escheats on felons' goods and fines
had come into his hands during the time he had
held the appointment. He replied, "No amount."
It was explained that the omission of the prefix
" high" was a clerical error. The city tradesmen
were re-elected, but only for six months, and an
inquiry was directed to be instituted in the mean-
time into the working of the whole of the exist-
ing system of employing corporation tradesmen.
THE CORPORATION ADDRESS TO THE THRONE.
The TOWN CLERK read a letter addressed to the
Remembrancer on the 29th ult. by the Hon. Augus-
tus Liddell, who stated that he had been directed
by Mr. Secretary Hardy to inform the Remem-
brancer that the Queen was then unable to name
a day for the presentation of the Address which
had been voted to her Majesty by the Court of
Common Council of the City of London on the
late Fenian outrages, but her Majesty would do
so on her return to Windsor Castle in February.

GREAT NORTHERN.

The directors of this company have determined,
with the concurrence of the auditors, to recommend
the proprietors, at the general meeting on the 22d
inst., to declare a dividend for the half year ending
the 31st of December last at the rate of £7 10s. per
cent. per annum on the original stock of the com-
pany, giving, for the half year, £3 15s. per cent. to
the original stock, £3 per cent. to the B stock, and
£4 10s. per cent. to the A stock. These rates will
make the dividend for the whole year 1867 as fol-
lows, viz.:—£6 per cent. on the original stock, £6
per cent. on the B stock, and £6 per cent. on the A
stock.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

AN OLD TRICK. —A man named Ebenezer Morgan was
charged at the Westminster Police-court with obtaining
money under false pretences. The prisoner went to the
shop of Mr. Fry, cheesemonger, 11, Ebury-street, Pimlico,
and said he had come there to order some cheese. Having
tasted and selected 31b., he directed it to be sent, with
change of a half-sovereign, to 5, Grosvenor-place.
Edwin Watkins, Mr. Fry's boy, went with the
cheese immediately, and was met at the door of the house
in Grosvenor-place by the prisoner, who said, " Have you
got the cheese and the change ? " The boy replied that he
had, when the prisoner observed, "Here is the half-
sovereign ; give me the change, and deliver the cheese
indoors." He then handed, the boy something wrapped in
paper, and the boy gave him Cs. 10id. Prisoner walked
away a few paces and then began running. This
excited the boy's suspicion, and instead of de-
livering the cheese he followed him. Prisoner
ran in the direction of Mr.
Fry's house, and
was met by him and secured, when he pressed
him to take back the change, and invited him to come
with him in a cab to his lodgings for further compensa-
tion.—Mr. Ingham : What was in the paper the prisoner
gave you ?—Prosecutor : A gilt counter, not worth
a farthing.—Prisoner I gave the medal by mistake,
thinking it was a half-sovereign, and that was the reason
why I offered to take the prosecutor to my lodgings.—

his person.—Prisoner was remanded till Monday.

A WIDE-AWAKE AFRICAN.

The Post correspondent writes from Zulla, January 19,
raying :—" I will now give you the latest news of the
Abyssinian ' difficulty,' bat I will nut vouch for the truth
of it. An influential gentleman from the kingdom of
Tigr4, of prepossessing manners and appearance, but
probably a thundering liar, and bearing the euphonious
patronymic of Muzcha, has arrived in camp, and an-
nounced that the King, through whose territory oia
route will lie for upwards of a hundred miles, is quitt
willing to be friendly, and facilitate onr progress in every
way ; but that his dignity requires that we should apply
formally for permission, and preseat him with soma
backsheesh,' lest he should be lowered in the estimation
of his subjects if we walked calmly through his dominions
without so much as ' with your leave' or by your
leave,' which I imagine we could very easily do. In
compliance with the monarch's views, Major Grant,

the celebrated African traveller (whose service are at the
disposal of Government) will start to-morrow as ambas-
sador extraordinary and plenipotentiary from Sir Robert
Napier to Prince Kassai, bearing a polite message and the
necessary number of guns and shawls. His highness is
wide awake, and has begged it may be distinctly under•
stood that he does not want `Brummagem' goods, and
that none but first-rate articles will be acceptable ; so he is to
have really valuable Indian shawls and Westley Richards'i
inost elaborate double-barrelled weapons. Major Grant
will take but a very small retinue, as the Tigr4 prince
is fearfully jealous and touchy' at anything like Pa
demonstration of force, and if the party is limited anu
select there is much less chance of any one's toes being
trod on,' either morally or otherwise, so that the plan
proposed is decidedly the wisest. A better selection of an
ambassador could not have been made, as Major Grant is
thoroughly conversant with African manners, customs.
and ` notions,' and will steer clear of blustering or
truckling. It will, of course, be a grand thing to b(
assured of a peaceful march over 100 miles of our journey,
but when Prince Kassai has once got his backsheesh,' as
likely as not he will shew the cloven foot, and, even if he
preserves a strict outward neutrality, he will probably
connive at the attempts of his subjects to plunder us
whenever opportunity offers. Such is the African
character ; ' what is bred in the bone will come out in the
flesh,' and I believe the cardinal virtues of the Abyssinian
to be lying' and theft.' "

AN EASTERN ENTERTAINMENT.

The Telegraph letter gives a description of a grand
entertainment given by Abd-el-Kader Pasha to Sir Robert
rapier, on board the Egyptian frigate :—" All the princi-
pal officers in command, and private gentlemen attached
to the force, also had the honour of receiving invitations.
At dusk the ship was most tastefully and brilliantly
illuminated entirely with lanterns. Where on earth they
came from, or where stowed away, is a mystery. Ther•
were rows of lanterns along the yards, and at the mast-
heads, and down all the stays. From each masthead to the
royal yardarms was stretched a rope, running from yard-
arm to yardarm down to the deck, with lanterns suspended
from it ; all along the hammock nettings on deck were
lanterns ; and at each port on the main deck was a
lantern. The appearance of the vessel from the shore
was most beautiful. An Egyptian transport and steamer
were also illuminated. The rows of lanterns on board
the frigate were very cleverly arranged in such a
manner that at whatever point of view they were
seen, they presented regular geometrical figures ;
and when going off to the ship it was very pretty
to see them changing, as the masts and yards were
seen at different angles. At about a quarter-past
seven the Commander-in-Chief left the Dunder in a gig,
and was followed by a large barge belonging to the Octavia,
towed by a steam launch. As his Excellency ascended the
ladder, the band played the Egyptian Hymn, and he was
received on deck by the Pasha A.bd-el-Bader. Seats were
arranged all along the deck, so that every one on arriving
could sit down, and there was none of the crushing and
confusion that generally attend large dinners. As soon as
all were assembled dinner was announced. The tables
were arranged on each side of the deck, with a semicircular
one joining them at both ends. There were awnings
spread over head and on each side, but the deck would
have been pleasanter without them, the heat was so great.
The tables were very tastefully laid out ; plenty of cande-
labra, quantities of gold plate, and well-selected glass made
altogether a scene that I little expected to see in Annesley
Bay ; everything was as well done as it could be anywhere.
About seventy persons sat down to dinner. The food was
excellent ; and, as to quantity, it beat any German table-
d'hOte dinner hollow. After dinner, coffee and cigars
were handed round—such coffee as is only to be got in the
East—and we were treated to a display of fireworks."

ITEXIIAII AND ALLENDALE.

The half-yearly general meeting of this company
was held on Monday at Hexham ; Mr. W. B. Beau-
mont, M.P., in the chair. The report stated that
the total length of the line now open was 12i
miles. The directors regretted the delay in making
provision for passenger traffic, They had not, how-
ever, hitherto seen their way to incur the necessary
outlay for the alteration a the junction, the erec-
tion of stations, and other incidental expenses. The
mineral and goods traffic since the opening of the
line had been as satisfactory as could have been
reasonably expected ; but sufficient experience
had not yet been obtained to justify reliable
estimates of the amount and cost of work-
ing such traffic. The report was adopted,
and, after some discussion, resolutions were carried
to the effect that the remainder of the ordinary
shares of the company required to complete the
capital of railway No. 1 be issued, at such a rate
of discount as the directors might deem expedient,
and authorising the exercise of the borrowing
powers conferred by the Companies' Act, 1865, for
railway No. 1, when the company was in a position
to do so.

LATEST INTELL MEN CE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

AUSTRIA.

VIENN A, Feb. 7.

In yesterday's sitting of the Financial Committee
of the Austrian Delegations the subject under dis-
cussion was the Budget of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs.

Ilerr Reichbauer proposed that the post of an
Austrian Minister in Saxony should be abolished
as well as in other small German States, and that
a Charge d'Affaires should be appointed instead
of a Minister Plenipotentiary in Wurtemberg.
After a long discussion, Baron von Beust stated
that, although the Government had quietly ac-
cepted many circumstances deviating from the sti-
pulation of the treaty of Prague, yet it must be un-
derstood that a definitive organisation of Germany
was not a matter of indifference to Austria. In
treating this question, the supposition, however,
must not be excluded that such an organization
might be affected in consequence of a friendly un-
derstanding between Austria and Prussia. Look-
ing at the subject from this point of view, it was
necessary to maintain the existing posts of Minis-
ters for the present. Upon proposals being brought
forward for the suppression of the post of an
Ambassador at Rome, and the replacement of all
the Ambassadors now representing Austria in
foreign countries by Minister Plenipotentiaries,
Baron von Beust, taking into consideration the
pending negotiations on the Concordat, thought it
advisable no change should be made that might be
interpreted as a political demonstration.

Herr Skane's amendment for reducing the allow-
ance for expenses of representation assigned to the
Roman mission was subsequently adopted.

MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN GREECE.
ATHENS, Feb. 6.

The Ministry have resigned, but it is not yet
