Again, recent improvements have cheapened the cost of Dental material ;—considering which I have decided to reduce my prices, and for three months from the date of this I will make a sett of teeth for Ten Dollars.

A correspondent with the Quettah column telegraphs from Tifeodin, Tuesday, that 140 British cavalry yesterday defeated a body of Afghans, killing twenty-four and captur- ing nine. ‘Twelve hundred Afghan cavalry were subsequently forced to abandon the heights by a cannonade, in which seven of the British were wounded. I[¢ is thought that this skirmish will cause the Afghans to decide not to defend Candahar.

St. Pererssure, Jan. 11.

The Journal de St. Petersburg to-day says the Ameer of Afghanistan entered Russian territory, not in consequence of the success of the British, but in order te invoke the meditation of Russia. The Ameer will re- ceive symputhetic hospitality, but the idea of mediation is an illusion, upon the clear- ing up of which will probably depend a con- tinuation of his journey.

A Berlin dispatch says that some persons believe the bil giving the Reichstag power to punish its own members for improper utterances has been introduced so that re- jection may give Bismarck au excuse for dissolution.

It is generally be- lieved that the bill will be passed in a modified form.

The London Daily News Berlin despatch says: The proposed bill practically abolished all guarantees of freedom of debate, and while it is in the power of a majority to turn over any offending member to the courts, it makes a penal offence for the press to pub- lish any speech censured by the president of the Diet.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sin—It appears to have now become generally known that Mr. Carvell is about to enter upon a tour of inspection in con- nection with the P. E. I. Railway ; and the interested inhabitants of Charlottetown have reason to congratulate themselves on finding a gentleman so well qualified te carry out this difficult task appointed to the office. It is to be hoped that in the per- formance of this duty he will be the means of thoroughly unravelling several matters that are at present mysteries in the eyes of many persons in town and elsewhere. Among these mysteries I may mention the repairs going on on board the steamer Alpha, where Mr. Carvell may possibly be able to trace tools and material belonging to the Railway being freely used. It is to be hoped, too, that no Government wood may be forthcoming, as there are large quanti- ties from some (at present) unknown source being worked up in the P. E. I. R. carpen- ter shop, in making tanks, black walagh desks, {pine candlesticks (artistically gilt), picture frames, pine sills, &c. , which articles - have been and are being distributed,

lt is a matter of some surprise to me that the Mechanical Superintendent is not the recipient of a handsome token of respect this Christmas, as he was last. Can it be that former admirers are only waiting to see if he will receive a general public re- cognition of his valuable services ; or de not they appreciate his gigantic ef- forts for the good of a few favorite exaployees, now in the machine shop, as much as they were wont to do ? A labourer from Shediac is considered de- serving of more pay, as a tradesman in the machine shop, than a man who has served his time at the same trade on the Clyde, and who is now working in the same shop for much less wages. ‘The latter thought it better to head the fund for the suppert of a sick fellow-workmen than subscribe to- ward a token of respect to his able Superin- tendent ! Perhaps if other employees had followed the same example and had not been influenced by the fear of the with- drawal of the various benefits and favours which are in the power of the Mechanical Superintendent to bestow, the presentation list might not have reached so higha figure and the sickworkmen might have received more material benefit, whether the most de- served by or not, remains to be seen.

There aro several matters of more or less consequence that could be pointed out to Mr. Carvell whigh would help him in his difficult reserches. But we can fully trust to his own well-known personal ability and uprightness to thoroughly and impartially investigate affairs; and trust he may be able, in a short time, to use a terse though comprehensive phrase, slightly altered, namely : ‘‘I came, I saw, I exposed.”
