SEYMOUR.

m.. 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 hat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

PROGRESS OF ELECTIONS.

(From the Anglo -American Times.)

We expect to hear as we write of the result of the
election in California. When the mail left, the Re-
publican victory in Vermont had not taken place,
but as Vermont was an acknowledged Republican
stronghold little interest was excited, except in a
faint way, as to the number of the majority. The
currents of opinion most clearly seen are on the sur-
face, and do not indicate as much as their appear-
ance might lead one to suppose. Since the Tammany
platform and ticket the present is the third phase.
At first the Republicans spoke of the Demo-
cratic chances with pity and contempt. They re-
garded the nominations as a mere empty honour,
and this feeling was at the time pretty general with
the Democrats themselves. The ratification meet-
ing produced an enthusiasm, and the current began
to move swiftly (at least on the surface) in Demo-
cratic favour. In a few weeks the party was raised
from its despondency, and became confident of vic-
tory, and the Republicans were driven from con-
tempt into alarm, and from the apathy with which
they had hitherto looked on in the complacence of
overwhelming strength into strenuous exertion to hold
their ground. The news this week makes it more
than ever difficult to predict, for it is clear teat the
Republicans have stemmed the Democratic cur-
rent, and even they allow only i❑ the nick of time.
If the Conservatives are to be believed their chief
means of doing this has been by putting speeches
into the mouths of leading Southerners which
they repudiate. The Tribune, the Times, and
the Herald are all accused of these forgeries,
published with the intention of creating au
impression in the North that the old leaders of
the rebellion desire to renew the civil war, and in-
sist now as much as ever in ruling their States, and
walloppiug their niggers. The Hon. Howell Cobb
denies the truth of the Tribune's report of his speech,
asserting that his words of hope and peace have
been distorted into war and revolution ; and this
complaint has been so general, its effects so striking,
that it, probably led to the gathering of Southerners
at the White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, where
a conference was lately held between Gen. Rosecrans,
the newly-appointed Minister to Mexico, and Secre-
tary of the Interior Browning as Government officers,
and Generals leT, Beauregard, Longstreet, Ewell,
and Echols, Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens, lion.
A. H. H. Stuart, Hon. John B. Baldwin, Governor
Stockdale, Governor Pickens, and others ou the
part of the South. Rosecrans is known to have
had long interviews with Mr. Seward, and public
curiosity, which is excited towards the conference
at the White Sulphur Springs, connected these in-
terviews with the meeting, while the fact was that
Rosecrans was merely lexeiving the elaborate in-
structions the Secretary of State desired to give as to
his conduct in Mexic 3. Geu. Lee has steadily refused
to take any part in whatever has even the semblance
of a political interview. The meeting was followed
by an address to the people of the United States,
signed by Generals Lee, Beauregard, and Echols,
Hon. A. 11. Stevens, lion. A. H. H. Stuart, Hon.
L. E. Barris, Governor Letcher, Governor Pickens,
Judge W. J. Robertson, and many other leading
men. This address was said fully and freely to
accept on the part of the South their defeat in
arms, of which the result was recognized in the
abolition of slavery and negro suffrage. In the
name of the Southerners they guaranteed these
privileges to the negroes, adding that they had
a common interest with them, while both their
humanity and selfishness prompted to kind-
ness. At the same time they protested against
concentrating political power exclusively in the
negroes, who were not yet prepared to govern, and
the exercise of such functions would check the
spirit of reconciliation, opening the way to a cala-
mitous hostility likely to end in the extermination
of the Freedmen. They desired only the rights
of the people under the Constitution and the
Union, of which in the whole Republic there
were no more thorough friends. The statement
that they desired to revive the civil war was a
malicious invention, for far more than to the North
was peace necessary to the shattered South. This
address, embodying sentiments generally accept-
able to the citizens throughout the Republic, was
immediately announced to be itself a forgery.
General Rosecrans retarned to Washington on
the 28th August, and while admitting his in-
terviews with the Southern leaders, and that
the address substantially embodied the sentiments
they expressed, he asserted that no such address
was drawn up by them. At the same time he stated
that he might himself publish an account of what
he gathered from these representative Southerners.
The electioneering interest at present centres
strongly in Maine, where the best speakers of both
parties have been on the " stump," including Judge
Kelly of Pennsylvania and Senator Wilson for the
Republicans, and Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio, for the
Democrats. The speech of the latter gentleman at
Bangor was remarkable for a change of tone, which
has been hailed with satisfaction in the United
States. The following is his language about Grant
and Colfax :

"I shall speak with no partisan bitterness. Not accus-
tomed myself to yield anything to harsh words, I seek
not to apply them to others. Confident in the purity of
my motives and the sincerity of my convictions, I am
ready to admit the same integrity of purpose in all my fel-
low-citizens. I shall not disparage the ability or character
of our opponents. I would not if 1 could pluck one leaf
from the laurels of General Grant. Whatever may be his
ability as a soldier he has stood the test of success, and
so far as I have known he has borne himself with
moderation and magnanimity in his high office. I
have known Mr. Colfax well for many years. I have
seen him in possession of great power. He is an amiable
and estimable gentleman, and would perform with dignity
the duties of the high office to which he aspires. I have
had pleasant associations with the members of Congress
from your State, and I remember with satisfaction that we
passed through any years of service in that body, inter-
changing the courtesies which soften the asperities of
political excitement. Indeed, gentlemen, my obsor,-ation
of such has led me to expect the most erroneous opinions
coupled with the purest motives and the most destruc-
tive policy, associated with the loftiest aspiration for the
public good."
At the same place Senator Wilson delivered a
speech on the 27th, which lasted for hours. He
dwelt on the fact that the Democrats are directing
their efforts to the re-establishment of the Southern
Confederacy, citing the words which the leading
Southerns declare they never uttered. The address
did not contain an allusion to the finances of the
country. Mr. Pendleton spoke at Hartford
on his way home. General Grant is still at the
West doing nothing to forward his election,
but wisely holding his peace. He is announced
to be more than ever disgusted with speech-mak-
ing. Frank Blair is " stumping" the South, and
spoke at Montgomery, Alabama, on the 20th ult.
General E. M. Lee, of Connecticut, will stump
Indiana until the October election. The Hon. E. M.
Stanton has agreed to speak in Michigan for Grant
and Colfax during the present campaign. General
A. Logan is announced to speak in Indiana as fol-
lows :--Fort Wayne, Oct. 5 ; Delphi, Oct. 6 ;
Lebanon, Oct. 7 ; Osgood, Oct. 8 ; Mitchell, Oct.
9 ; Wheatland, Davies county, Oct. 10. The
Democrats and the Republicans are now equally

The Nation, on the other hand, anticipates very
favourable results to the Republicans from the
October elections. It nays :—" Seymour may carry
Pennsylvania (doubtful), New York (not certain),
Connecticut (which will go Republican if Pennsyl-
vania goes so in October, and possibly will go so
in any event), Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey (a State which
there is a chance of Grant's carrying), Oregon,
Alabama (which is as yet doubtful), Arkansas,
Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, and Virginia, and Grant
will still have more than he needs." Of all the
modes of calculation which have as yet appeared
the most ingenious is given by a gentleman who
numbers the letters of the alphabet, then takes
those which make each ticket, and the a Idition of
all is the total number of electoral votes, counting
the three excluded States. Of this number the
alphabet gives the Democratic ticket 177, and the
Republican 140, which is a confirmation of what
Blair asserts, that Heaven has decreed Democratic
success

—— i❑ the Electoral Col-
lege.

A Republican caucus on Monday evening, Aug.
24, at Northamptonshire, Western Massachusetts,
chose delegates to the State Convention as fol-
lows :—W. Hill, Webster Herrick, B. S. Johnson,
C. S. Crouch, W. F. Arnold, Luke Lyman, 11. S.
were, S. T. Spaulding, Arnold Barson, Christopher
Clarke. They were specially instructed to urge
the calling of future conventions on the basis of
Republican votes, instead of that of polls, without
regard to party. A Grant and Colfax club was
formed with Colonel Luke Lyman as president, as
vice-presidents, L. G. Dudley and Bela Gardner;
secretary, It S. G-ere ; treasurer, N. B. Hussey,
and executive committee, Colonel J. B. Parsons, J.
C. Ames, and Enos Parsons.

The largest Republican gathering of the season
was held at Bath (Maine) on Tuesday night, when
E. A. Storrs made a two hours' address, and Henry
Tallman renounced his connection with the Demo-
cratic party, with which he has acted for 40 years,
and gave his adhesion to• what he believed to be the
party of progress and of peace.
The Congressional nominations in Maine are as
folio wA:—Republicans—First district, John Lynch ;
second, S. P. Morrill; third, J. G. Blaine; fourth,
John A. Peters ; fifth, Eugene Hale. Democratic
—First district, Charles A. Shaw ; second, Alonzo
Garcelon ; third, E. W. Farley ; fourth, George
W. Ladd ; fifth, Amos Wisewell. The Republican
majorities in 1866, in all the districts, were as fol-
lows :—First district, Lynch's majority, 3,958 ;
second district, Perham's majority, 6,421 ; third
district, Blaine's majority, 6,581 ; fourth district,
Peter's majority, 5,485 ; fifth district, Pike's ma-
jority, 4,378.
The day for holding the Connecticut Republican
State Convention iu New Haven had been postponed
from Sept. 2 to Sept. 10.
The Republicans were called to meet at New Ha-
ven on Sept. 2, to nominate candidates for Presi-
dential electors.

lhe Westfield Democrats had chosen as their
delegation to the State Convention at 'Worcester,
September 2, to nominate Presidential electors :
Reuben Noble, henry Fuller, George Rose, Leo-
nard Atwater, W. W. Shepard, John Avery, E. P.
Parks, Munroe W. Perkins, J. H. Wessels, and
Thomas liorrigan.
The Pittsfield delegates to the Democratic State
Conveution,to assemble Sept. 2, were —Cebra Quack-
enbush, John C. West, George Y. Learned, D. C.
Munyan, W. M. Root, T. E. Cole, Thomas F.
Plunkett, P. Allen, A. E. Goodrich, John E. Mer-
rill, Owen Coogan, and J. N. Dunham.

Apparently the campaign in the Southern States
gets more and more bitter, despite the somewhat less vio-
lent language which the orators have been warned to em-
ploy. Not that they do not allow themselves full
swing on all subjects but that of open war against
the present State Governments. They make up for
their enforced silence on that point by gross abuse. of
their opponents. Wade Hampton says, in a speech made
in Anderson District the other day :—" These scallawags
and traitors should be branded with infamy and eternally
stigmatized. . . . The word scallawag is used by
drovers to describe the mean, lousy, and filthy king that
aro not fit for butchers or dogs. . . . They have dis-
honoured their State, and heaped everlasting shame on
their families . . . There are no words in the English
language to express the utter contempt entertained by
me for these renegades and traitors"—white Unionists,
namely. For a year or so after the war a ma n suspected
of being a Yankee took his life in his hand when
he went into Anderson district ; it is ono of the darkest
corners of the South. Possibly speeches like this last one
front Hampton may do something towards bringing back
tne halcyon days of 1865. Another gentleman, speaking
at the same meeting, says :—" Who is Scott, before
high Heaven? He is the best-looking omnibus driver
I have seen in some time." " Scott" being General
Scott, a hard-headed, sensible Western man, a brave
soldier, and probably gentlemanly enough to think
meanly of himself if he should foam at the mouth and call
names when discussing the character and claims of his
political opponents. Colonel Thomas was another of the
Anderson orators, and of him we hear that 1° Colonel
Thomas then described the South Carolina Legislature as
a conclave of ignominy, ignorance, baseness, and depra-
vity."—New York, Nation.

MargitiN ON TAT LONDON ASV
2CORTII-WESTERN RAILWAY.

On Monday morning an accident of a very alarming
mature took place at the Edgehill station of the London
and North-Western Itailway Company, near Liverpool.
It appears that the train which leaves Itainhill generally
about 9 a.m. arrives at Edgehill in ten minutes or a quarter
of an hour, where the engine is uncoupled, and the carriages
descend the tunnel by the aid of brake-vans to Lime-
street station. On Monday morning the train approached
Edgehill more rapidly than usual, and the points at the
siding for shunting being open, the engine dashed through
and struck some empty waggons. There was a regular
smash of the waggons, the buffers of the engine were
broken, and the engine itself badly damaged. The pas-
sengers in the carriages at the fore part of the train were
severely shaken, and several of them were cut andbruised,
but none dangerously. As soon as the debris was cleared
away, the train proceeded down the tunnel to Lime-street,
where greatly exaggerated rumours concerning the acci-
dent were afloat,

MISS ELIZABETH CHUDLEIGIL

- •s--

The story of Miss Elizabeth Chudleigh constitutes on
of the most notorious and long-continued scandals of Eng-
lish society in the last century. The memoirs and corre-
spondence of the period teem with allusions to the strange
doings of this extraordinary woman. Born of a good Devon-
shire family, and of great beauty, she obtained, through
her father's interest with Mr. Pulteney, afterwards
the Earl of Bath, the post of maid of honour to the wife
of Frederick, Prince of Wales. Wooed by the Duke of
Hamilton, she became clandestinely the wife of Mr.
Augustus John Hervey, the third son of the Earl of Bristol.
Quarrelling with her husband, whose name she had never
assumed, she destroyed, as far as she could, the legal evi-
dence of her marriage. Twenty years later, upon a rumour
of the dangerous illness of Mr. Hervey's brother, who had
succeeded to the earldom, she changed her plans. It was
nothing to be the Hon. Mrs. Hervey, but it was worth
while being called Countess of Bristol, and her husband
was the next heir to the the title. She endeavoured to
restore to its former condition, therefore, the register of
her marriage. Her labour was wasted, however. The
earl recovered—did not die until ten years later. By col-
lusion with her husband she then instituted proceedings in
the ecclesiastical court for the jactitation of the marriage.
By virtue of a process of this nature, when one of the parties
to the suit gives out that he or she is married to the
other, whereby a common reputation of their marriage
may arise, the party injured " libels" the other in the
spiritual court, and unless the defendant offers actual proof
of the marriage, he or she is enjoined perpetual silence
thenceforth on the subject. The decree of the court, ob-
tained by distinct fraud and conspiracy, decided that the
marriage was supposititious, and had never really taken
place. Thereupon she held herself free to marry again, and
in 1766 became the wife of Evelyn Pierrepont, second Duke
of Kingston. In 1776, after the death of the duke, she
was tried by the House of Lords for bigamy, and found
guilty almost unanimously. She escaped being "burnt in
the hand," however—the old punishment for her offence.
She pleaded privilege of peerage, which exempted her
from the indignity of corporal punishment. The verdict
which took from her the title of Duchess of Kingston pro-
claimed her Countess of Bristol. She quitted England in
possession of a large fortune, purchased a house at Calais,
wandered about the Continent leading a life of extraordi-
nary luxury and splendour, and died in Paris of a ruptured
blood-vessel in 1788.—Cassell's Magazine.

THE NEW HOP AND MALT EXCHANGE.

On Monday the handsome new Hop and Malt Exchange,
which has been erected in Southwark-street, Borough,
was publicly opened without ceremony, and in the most
unostentatious manner. At one time it was expected that
his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales would
have been able to be present at the opening, but
the previously arranged movements of the Prince
rendered this impossible, though it is anticipated
with good and sufficient reason that his Royal
Highness will pay a visit to the building at no
very distant date. The want which this exchange
will supply is one which has long been felt by all who
are in any way connected with the large and important
interests represented in the hop and malt trades. The
general body of metropolitan merchants—the corn, coal,
and other leading mercantile trades—have each their
separate exchange for the concentration and despatch of
business. In this respect, those carrying on the hop and
malt trades were deficient until the movement for erecting
this building was commenced. In 1865 a limited liability
company, with a nominal capital of £120,000 was started,
and the list of directors and other official persons con-
nected with it was a sufficient guarantee that the under-
taking would be properly and efficiently carried out.
The first stone was laid in August 1866, and the result
now achieved must be such as to exceed the most sanguine
expectations. The building, viewed from a merely archi-
tectural point of view, is one of the handsomest in London,
and as to its practical utility, those most intimately con-
nected with the trades designed to be benefited speak in the
highest terms. Under the roof of this exchange growers,
merchants, dealers, and buyers will have all the advan-
tages of a complete and well-attended market close to the
termini of the chief railways which pass through the hop.
growing districts of -Kent, Surrey, and Sussex. Some
idea of the extent and character of the building
may be formed from the enumeration of a few
figures. The street frontage extends to something
like 340 feet, and the architectural elevation is
about 100 feet. The interior exchange consists of a
square 80 feet long by 50 feet wide, the whole being
lighted at an elevation of above 100 feet by a large glass,
roof. This secures ample light and ventilation. On one
side of the square, to the right of the entrance, is a
magnificent room, fitted up for the use of the sub-
scribers alone, writing materials and other suitable
articles being provided. Arranged on the sides of the
square are four storeys of public offices, which
will afford accommodation to something like 120
different firms. These rooms are built in the most
approved and modern style, and are replete with
all the necessary requirements. We believe that,
half the stands on the ground floor and half the offices
have already been taken. The opening of the building
drew together a large number of merchants and gentlemen
connected with the hop and malt trades, and all were loud
in their praises of the admirable manner in which the
whole design has been carried out. Unquestionably the
building combines great beauty and architectural effect,
together with the greatest amount of practical usefulness
to secure the object in view. The cost of the building
itself has been about £65,000, while the freehold land Was
purchased for £60,000.

EXPRCTANT.— Lord Norbury, while on circuit,
being attacked with a fit of the gout, sent to the Solicitor-
General to require the loan of a pair of slippers. "Take
them," said the Solicitor to his servant, "with my respects,
as I hope soon to be in his lordship's shoes."
ANTIPODEAN WlT.—During a recent debate in
the Victoria Legislature a rather good thing was said by one
of the members. An unfortunate loyal Liberal, whose
education had been sadly neglected, was reading out a
document to the House, and vainly endeavouring to
decipher an obscure letter ; turning to his next friend,
he asked anxiously, "Is that a hem or a hen ?" " Oh,
replied his friend, " call it a hen, and move that it lay on
the table."

THE FRENCH ATLANTIC CABLE. —The manufat
ture of the new Transatlantic submarine telegraph cable
for the French Company (Societ6 du Cable Transatlantique
Francais, Limited) was, according to the contract with thi.
Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company
(Limited), commenced at the Gutta Percha Works, Wharf•
road, City-road, on Monday. It is understood to be
intended to submerge the cable next summer, between
Brest and the United States, rid the Island of St. Pierre
(Gulf of St. Lawrence). The Great Eastern steamship
has been chartered by the contractors for the purpose of
assisting in the operation, and arrangements are perfected
for mooring her in the Medway, where she will be brought
round from Liverpool directly after the equinox, so that
she may receive the cable as manufactured, and shipped
at the contractors' Greenwich works, where the process of
putting on the outer covering, or sheathing, is carried on.
SEVERE TRIAL FOR THE KING OF PRUSSIA.--
The German journals, in announcing how the King of
Prussia was to employ each day during his visit to Dres-
den, stated that after a review on the 9th his Majesty was
to attend a grand banquet in the ancient hall of the
palace at Moritsburg, a residence famous for the fetes
which Augustus the Strong gave there in honour of the
Countess of Kouigsmark, the mother of Marshal de Saxe.
They then add : " King William will have to undergo a
singular ceremony on this occasion. In the chateau there
exists a cup made of a stag's skull, still adorned with the
horns, and deep as an ancient Gothic vidrecome. This
vessel is filled with champagne, and every guest Las to
empty it as adroitly as he can—a difficult task, however,
in which ninny a drinker has failed. The King of Saxony,
while the guests take their wine, takes note of their
address, and draws up a report of the trial in an antique
register, which dates from the first days of the Saxon
monarchy. The most illustrious names figure in it, and
that of Frederick the Great amongst others. The Ger-
mans, who are fond of pleasantry at times, are curious to
know how the conqueror of Sadowa will extricate himself
from the difficulty, and whether the misfortune will occur
to him, as to so many others, of spilling some of the con-
tents on his glorious uniforrn.".
