TEETH and PAINLESS DENTISTRY. The -I- fear of pain and dread of operation Inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital impor tance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now extending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, en abling ua to offer even the most sensitive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a aperient° pertaining only to our practice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. The system embraces the non interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extraction of loose teeth until they become firm and useful In mastication, and the utter absence of all end every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied with out fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are sheaper, more durable, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from 54., sets from live to IS guineas, warranted.

THE IRISH EDUCATION QUESTION.-OD Saturday the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ire land discussed the education question, and adopted, almost unanimously, a series of resolutions renewing its adherence to the principles of united national education, as opposed to the denominational system, and calling on the govern ment and the legislature to withhold their sanction from the proposed new rule which has been adopted by the com missioners. A deputation was appointed to bring the sub ject before the attention of the government and members of parliament.—Saunders'Nnse. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. DISPERSION OF THE HOLSTEIN ESTATES BY GENERAL VON MANTEUFFEL. ITZEHOR, Jura 11. The assembly of the Holstein Estates was dis persed to-day by General von Manteuffel. Herr Hoffmann, the Austrian Civil Adlatus, was re ceived here with great enthusiasm, and returned to Altona after the dissolution of the Estates. Ge neral von Manteuffel is advancing. He reached Pinneberg to-day, and will arrive before Altona to morrow. Herr Lesser, the Holstein government commissioner, was arrested lest night, and con veyed to Rendsbnrg. The Austrian ICalik brigade will cross the Elbe to-night, remaining at Harbusg to-morrow, and proceeding thence to Bohemia. HAMBURG, Juyz 11. Business is totally at a standstill on the Bourse to-day, in consequence of a rumour that Herr Leaser, the Holstein government councillor, has been arrested at Itaehoe, and that Herr Hoffmann, the Austrian civil adlatua, had fled from that town. It is also reported that the Austrians will leave Alton to-day. HAMBURG, JUNI 11, Emma, Hanover has given permisaion for the Austrian lialek brigade to paaa through her territory, and to make use of the Hanoverian lines of railway. The brigade will enter Hamburg to-night. ALTONA, dula 11, 7 P.Y. Up to the present moment only small detach ments of the Austrian brigade have marched out of Alton, It is believed that General Gablenz will not start till early to-morrow morning. ITZHOE,Luxe 11, EVENING. Twenty-six members of the Holstein Estates have entered a protest against the arrest by the Prussians of Herr Lesser, the Holstein Government Commissioner. PRUSSIA AND HANOVER. BRUSSELS, Jurre 11. The Nord of to-day publishes the folloying telegram from Hamburg dated yesterday :—" The negotiations between Prussia and Hanover, relative to the observance of neutrality by the latter state, in case of war between Austria and Prussia, have not proved successful. In consequence of the threats of the Prussian government that it would prevent Hanover from placing her military forces upon a war footing, the latter has decided to dis continue the negotiations, and has, therefore, notified to the Berlin cabinet that, being desirous of conforming to the stipulations of the Federal Pact, her subsequent resolutions will be dependent upon the decision of the Federal Diet. Various circumstances would appear to point out ' that hostilities will commence with the occupation of Hanover by Prussia." The truth of this infor mation is greatly doubted. PRUSSIAN ULTIMATUM TO AUSTRIA. BERLIN, JUNE 11. The Prussian government is preparing to send an ultimatum to Vienna calling upon Austria to retract the declaration made on the Ist of June by her representative, at the Federal Diet, relative to the question of the Duchies. BERLIN, Ju•rrs 11, EVENTNO. The reply of Austria, date& June 9, to the Prus sian Circular despatch of the 3rd inst., has been received here to-day. The form of the note and its contents are looked upon as nearly approaching to a declaration of war. The withdrawal of the Prussian and Austrian Ambassadors is expected to take place at any moment. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, JUNE 11, EVENING. The Neue Freie Presse of this evening publishes intelligence from Cracow, stating that the manage ment of the Warsaw-Cracow Railway have received orders to have everything in readiness for the con veyance of 100,000 Russian troops. The same jour nal says :—" Negotiations have taken place between Austria and the Middle States in reference to the convocation of a German parliament. Austria has declared herself ready to abandon her proposal for a delegated assembly in favour of a parliament elected by the direct votes of the German people, and to accept, as a national executive, a directory of three, the presidency to be assumed by fixed rotation." HUNGARY. PESTH, JUNE 11. In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of the Hungarian Diet, M. Deak proposed that the ad dress to the Emperor praying that measures should be taken for alleviating the distress in Hungary, be rejected, as his Majesty had already taken measures with that object. _ M. Kallag made a ;peach protesting against the misappropriation of the funds destined to the re lief of the poor. PROPOSAL OF AUSTRIA IN THE FEDERAL DIET. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, JUNE At an extraordinary sitting of the Federal Diet, held to-day, the Austrian representative announced that Prussian troops had entered Holstein, not withstanding the protest of the Austrian governor, and that General Manteuffel had taken upon him self the administrative power in that duchy. He declared that Prussia had thereby committed a breach of the treaty of Vienna and of the provi sional Gastein Convention, which Austria was willing to allow to remain in force until the matter should be decided by the Federal Diet. The Emperor Francis Joseph had remained faithful to the laws of the Confederation, which prohibited members of the Bund from de ciding disputes by violence. Prussia had undertaken acts of self-redress, which the Federal Diet was bound to put a stop to by all means at its disposal, according to Art. 19 of the final act of Vienna. It was incumbent on the Confederation to provide for its own peace and the internal security of Germany. In conclusion, the Austrian represen tative moved that the whole of the Federal army, with the exception of the Prussian contingent, be forthwith mobilised. FRANKFORT, JUNE 11, Everwixo. The Austrian proposal for the mobilization of the Federal army was not communicated before hand to the Prussian representative as stipulated by the regulations of the Diet. The Prussian representative demanded that this circumstance should be recorded, and voted for referring the Austrian proposal to a special committee. THE SAXON CHAMBERS. DRF.SDEN, Joie 11. Both Chambers of the Saxon Diet adopted to-day the following resolution :—" That the government should make energetic efforts towards bringing about the convocation of a German parliament — not a delegated assembly—elected by direct voting throughout the whole of Germany ; such convoca- tion to take place as speedily as possible, and not later than next month." The Chambers will be closed on Thursday next. THREATENED ABDICATION OF THE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN. VIENNA, Jurrs 11, EVENING. The Presse publishes news from Pails, stating that the Emperor of Mexico had requested financial assistance from France, declaring his intention to abdicate unless such assistance were afforded. The French government, it is added, had resolved to refuse this demand, andinstructed Marshal Bazaine to institute a fresh plebiscitum in case the Emperor Maximilian should carry out his intention of abdi eating. BAVARIA. MUNICH, Jinia 11. General Adjutant von Tann left this city for Vienna last night upon an extraordinary mission to the 'Austrian Court. THE PRINCIPALITIES. BUCHAREST, Jmis 11. During the debate in the Chamber of Deputies upon the credits demanded by the governtllenr - ' order to enable the country to meet any eventual aggression on the part of Turkey, the Ministry declared that it solely desired to render Roumain I territory respected. The government has addressed a circular to the foreign consuls, which states that it has several times declared and proved its deter mination to respect the ties attaching the Princi palities to the Ottoman empire. It has also maintained perfect order in the interior. Never theless, the attitude of the Porte, and the intelli ligence received by the Roumain government, leave no doubt of the imminence of a Turkish invasion. The Turkish agents also do not cease to incite the Roumain frontier guards to revolt. The circular proceeds to state, that in view of an attitude so openly hostile, the government has decided to ener getically oppose any violation of the territory and the rights of Roumania, and will take every de fensive measure dictated by necessity. In con clusion, the Roumain government invites the con suls to represent the facts to the governments which have guaranteed the inviolability of the territory of the Principalities. INDIA.

VIENNA, JOKE 11, EVENING. Count Mensdorff, Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, has addressed a declaration to Count Karolyi, dated the 9th, replying to the statements in the Prussian circular despatch of the 4th inst. The Austrian Minister says :—" Count Bismarck has considered himself allowed to attack the truth of the words we have spoken in the Federal Diet. This attempt will not succeed, for the proofs of what we have said arc but too well remembered by all. They weigh heavily against the cabinet of Berlin, and not only in Austria but also in non-Prussian Germany the voice of the public conscience is universally in unison with our own. Even in Prussia there are many truthful, independent minds towhose judgment we could appeal ss ith full confidence." Count Mensdorff goes on to mention the re cent proceedings of Prussia in Holstein, and euters a solemn protest against the statements with which it has been attempted to justify these proceedings. lie declines on the part of the Austrian government all and every re sponsibility for the serious consequences of the Prussian decision, by which the conflict is henceforth consigned to the domain of facts, and proceeds to prove that since its despatch of the 26th January, 18416, the Prussian govern ment has both by word and deed, and without' lawful ground, taken up a position in the Duchies which has ren dered utterly precarious the condition of possession settled by the Gastein Convention. " Austria," continues Count Mensdorff, " respected nevertheless the settlement of the possession of the Duchies. She did not give notice of with drawal from the Gastein Convention, and would have allowed the provisions established by that con vention to remain undisturbed until the Diet should have given its decision. Prussia, by march ing troops into Holstein, completes de facto on her side the violation of the Gastein Convention, and our protest is grounded upon the fact of Prussia having pro ceeded to acts of self-redress, and of her having violated by the occupation of Holstein, not only her treaty rela tions with Austria, but also Art. 11 of the German Federal Pact. She has, moreover, thereby brought about the state of things contemplated by Article 19 of the final Act of Vienna." In conclusion, Count Mensdorff reserves to the Imperial Government the right of taking such steps and resolutions as may be found necessary, since nothing re_ mains for Austria but to take steps for defending her honour and guarding her rights from being treated with contempt. FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE AND THE ITALIAN ARMY. Our Florence correspondent, writing on the Bth, nays : I have just seen a letter written by Florence Nightin gale to the Cavaliers Sebastian.) Fenzi, one of the committee for organising a system of volunteer assistance to the hos pital department of the army. It contains—set forth with admirable lucidity—the results of her experience on the matters in question chained in the Crimea and otherwise. And all this part of her letter, invaluable as it is to the Italians, it is not necessary to reproduce here. But the conclusion of it, which truly falls like balm on the minds of these people, excoriated as they have lately been by the ungenerous strictures, and lecturinga, and abuse of the Eng. lish press, well deserves to be quoted. " Thus far," writes Miss Nightingale, " I have given dry advice as drily as I could. But you must permit me to say that if there is anything I could do for you at any time , and you would command rue, I should esteem it the greatest honour and pleasure. lam a hopeless invalid, entirely a prisoner to my room, and overwhelmed with business. Otherwise how gladly would I answer to your call, and come to do my little best for you in the dear zity where I I was born. If the giving my miserable life could hasten your success but by half an hour how gladly would I give it. But you will not want for success, or for martyrs, or for volunteers, or for soldiers. Our old general, Lord Clyde (be is dead now), was standing at the port of Balaclava when, eleven years ago, the Italian Bersagliere were land ing; and he turned round and said to his companion (a man high in office), ' I wish to hide my face—l blush for ourselves when I see the perfect way in which those glorious troops are brought up to their work.' And what have not the Italians done since, in these eleven years ? the work almost of eleven centuries. I, too, remember the Italian (Sardinian) hospitals on the heights of Balaclava, and their admirable government ; and since then what has not the progress been? I wish you God speed with my whole heart, and beg that you will believe me, sir, your ever faithful servant, FLORINCE NIGHTLNOALE. " Cavaliers Sebastian Fenzi, Florence." I think (adds our correspondent) that it would gratify the writer in her sick room if she could have seen the emotion excited by the railing of this letter at Florence. OUR CONTESIPORARIEB. (THIS DAY.) TEC BERME GOVERNMENT AND TEC CONTRODITAL CREME. In the opinion of the Times Mr. Kinglake did well in giving the government an opportunity last night of explaining its present opinions, and showing what the action of this oountry had been in reference to the state of Europe. Mr. Kinglake, says the Times, made out a strong cam on behalf of Austria, and our contemporary admits that from one point of view Austria's position forms a sort of legal quadrilateral which is not easily assailable by argument. Although the Times never had much faith in the congress, it thinks that in a crisis like the present a humane government was bound to leave no expedient untried to settle the dispute. A more importent matter, however, is the advice which the government, or one or more of its members, is said to have given to Austria on the subject of Venetia. It may be unadvisable that the Premier should trench on the functions of the Foreign Secretary, and make known the views of the government unofficially by private letters, and if such a practice has obtained of late it is to be hoped it may be discontinued. But if the Queen's government is to give its advise, it is justified in sesnasiaewikesehe. Froneh goverameat, Alad.Ari". thank body of the English people, that it is advisable for Austria to abandon Venetia. Even the Austrian government itself seems to admit that its position is untenable, for it de clares that if victory were to bless their standards, and territorial arrangements could be effected with advantage, it might be induced in the interest of a general pacification to make concessions. The tone of the discussion last night, which was throughout friendly to Austria, shows the effect which the insincerity and violence of the Prus sian government have produced on English public opinion.. In Germany the imperial power is at present the up holder of law and justice, and if war breaks out it will be through the machinations of its adversary, who is now said to have despatched an ultimatum to Vienna. While, says the Daily News, that eminent statesman in partibee, Mr. Kinglake, was holding forth with his soma tomed air of • Roman senator surprised by the Gauls, on the importance of the Austrian possession of the Quadrila. Ural to the peace and security of Europe, news had reached the outside world of London of the Prussian commander. in-chief in Holstein having dispersed the Estates which the Austrian governor had convoked ; and of the Prussians ad vancing towards Altona. Before this tedious and empty parliamentary gabble begun, which Lord Craahorne and Sir Robert Peel deem so eminently dignified and " in " finitely more important than any Reform the Federal Diet at Frankfurt had held an extra. ordinary sitting, at which the representative of Austria de manded the mobilisation of the whole Federal army. And this was the moment chosen by such representatives of their country as Mr. Kinglake and Sir G. Bowyer, and one or two more speakers of equal calibre, to solicit the attention of Europe to the otiose expression of their sympathies, and criticisms, and predilections. The Daily News begs its its friends abroad not to be duped by names or titles, or to accept Eng lish opinion from the mouths of a few busybodies who presume to take the name of England in vain. It is cha racteristic of the straightforward dealing of " the chivalry " that while they will rail at Italy for five hours by the clock, in order to put off to as late an hour as pos. Bible a defeat on the Reform Bill, they are reduced to attack Lord Russell—now that he is no longer foreign mi nister—not for despatches which he has not written—but for some private letters which they suspect him of writing. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Under-Secretary for Foreigu Affairs easily dismissed all this random vituperation in a very few sentences, of which the temperate yet generous sincerity made amends for the rashness and incoherence of Mr. Kinglake's fol lowers, in whose speeches nothing that was new was true, and nothing that was true was new. Perhaps the most sensible words that fell from any private member in the course of the discussion were those of Mr. Laing, who suggested, with excellent good sense, that it would be better that the house should not " erect itself into a sort of tribunal of sentiment and criticism." It will probably be said that the debate on foreign affairs, which last evening followed Mr. Kinglake's mo tion for the adjournment of the house, was only intended to occupy time, and delay the progress of the ministerial Reform Bill. It cannot, however, with any plausibility be urged, the Post thinks, that the position of affairs in Europe at the present moment is not at least as well-de serving of the attention of the British parliament as any possible scheme for amending our representative system. With regard to the action of her Majesty's government they cannot justly be blamed for having attempted, how ever unsuccessfully, to prevent a European war. But at the same time it must be confessed that the means which they adopted to secure that end are somewhat open to adverse comment. Mr. Gladstone was right in saying that Venetia did not lie at the bottom of the dispute; but he was wrong in con necting the abandonment of the Convention of Gastein by Austria with the imminei.ee of war. In the " conversational debate " of last evening, every member, the Herald says, not connected with the govern. ment took his own peculiar view, differing more or less from that taken by everybody else, but all—with excep tions so trifling that they only prove the rule—disapproved of the line which had been taken by the ministers of the crown. The pretensions of It dy to Venetia were forti fied by something more than the covert encouragement of France. Rumour, and that of an authentic kind, says that her Majesty's government had tendered its advise to Austria that she should cede Vene tia. This advice is said to • have come not from the Foreign Minister, but from the Prime Minister in a private and confidential letter. Mr. Glad stone goes so far as to condemn Austria as the chief cause of war. He goes further, and accuses her of having given Prussia a eases belli in her conduct in respect to Holstein. This, in the opinion of the Herald, is not the opinion of the country. Last night, in the view of the Telegraph, was the exhi bition of Friday indecently renewed—an attempt to beat the Reform Bill by talking the session out. Last night the obetructives had not the poor excuse of knowing at the time the momentous news of which we arc now in possession. They bad not seen even the reply of Austria to Count Ilisniarck's insolent despatch. In fact, the discussion was "is the air." The proceeding of Prussia in Holstein is, in the opinion of the Telegraph, more than a challenge to Austria ; it is a deliberate defiance of the Ger manic Diet, and if the Confederation is anything more than a nonentity, if it desires to retain the slightest hold on the opinion of Europe, and above all of Germany, as a defender of right and public law, it must take action, and that promptly, against the aggressor. The arrival of Garibaldi on the Italian continent is to the nirgrapli another indi cation of immediate action in Italy. No debating society, remarks the Star, could have poured forth talk more voluble, crude, and barren than five out of six of the harangues on the impending war which were allowed, or perhaps designed, to postpone the serious business of parliament last night. The English government have encouraged Italy—especially by recon.- mending Austria to give up Venetia. Therefore the English government are to blame for the present crisis. Such is Mr. Kinglake's view. Mr. Kinglake must have been asleep, says the Star, so far as European politics are concerned, since 1862 at least, if he really believes that Italy is the main cause of the present war. So far back as 1862 or thereabouts Count von Bismarck delivered his famous " hlut-und-eisen"— blood and steel— speech, wherein he described the condition into which German politics were drifting. The clear and obvious truth is that Prussia and Austria are going to war for the object which has long made them rivals irrecon cileable, the supremacy of Germany. The Italians are not the primary cause of the war ; but, even if they were, they do not make war because of advice from England. There is really no ground whatever on which to blame our government. It was quite right to join in the attempt at a congress even as a forlorn hope. Much of last night's eloquence was intended, the Star thinks, rather to delay the progress of reform at home than to check the move ment of hostile armies abooad. NIL HUNT% RATING PIANCHTISZ. Not a doses members perhaps anticipated, says the Star that the house would last night have been occupied fee two hope in discussing Mr. Hunt's proposition to sabsti- • tuts rating for clear annual value as the standard of en franchisement. The opponents of the government bill unite their methods of procedure with pest determination and ease. Dishonest delay is tried first; formal oppodtion ' is resorted to when nothing else will do ; and when formal opposition seems likely to fail recourse is had to motions for adjournment, moved unscrupulously early and with an unconscionable disregard of propriety and good feeling. In all this there is more than mere factiousness. Static tics were again asked for last night by the opposition, but it is trifling with the intelligent* of the country to pretend that further statistics could throw any new light on the subject. To Mr. Hunt's argument Mr. Gladstone made a complete and satisfactory reply, reminding him that, though he objected to the proprietary voters is counties being swamped, Mr. Disraeli% bill in 1839 had cut off all the proprietary votes in boroughs and reduced the occupancy vote in the counties to 101. The debit of which the opposition are the authors benefits the government, and cannot permanently hinder the progress of reform. Their policy will simply cover them with shame, and exclude them from those ehaseesi of future power which with oommou prudence they might sally Woe seenissh . _ . The Herald accuses Mr. Gladstone of a display of bad temper last night in his reply to Mr. Hunt, and though he afterwards put upon his remarks a construction perfectly homeless and inoffensive, the incident is a proof of Mr. Gladstone's want of influence and authority in the house. Mr. Hunt's motion was, as be himself confessed, very far from commensurate with the arguments by which he sup ported it. Those argument, went to condemn the IQ. franchise altowther. It was evidently the aim of the go vernment to hurry the debate to a conclusion, in spite of the protests of the opposition, and the urgent demands of county members for time to study the statistics bearing on the question which had been but a few hours in their hands. After persevering for an hour and a hall in the attempt to force a division without a debate, Mr. Glad stone yielded, and the discussion of Mr. Hunt's motion stands adjourned till a day when, we may hope, some members of the government may thinkiproper to take part in it. LITURGICAL REVISION. The Times compares Lord Ebury's simple confidence —that if a commission were appointed to revise the Burls Service less than ten minutes would be sufficient fee a satisfactory solution of the difficulty—to that of the clear- • headed clergyman who considered that any controversy which ever agitated the world might be settled in ten minutes by ten plain men forbidden to look into any book but the Bible. When asked to explain Lord Ebury's answer was even more delightful in its simplicity. Th e method consists solely in omitting entirely the obnoxious expressions, and substituting others which are of a totally different complexion. After such an exhibition of confidence the Times fears—not altogether for Lord Ebury's own sake—that even the division of last night will fail to discourage him from further efforts. He himself recalled the fact that the Archbishop of Can. terbury last year, after consulting with the clergy, reported that he found the vast majority of them opposed to any change of any description. This singular piece of coat deuce is itself a very good illustration of ow of the princi pal difficulties in the way of any material alterations in the. i ' Liturgy. No reasonable person can possibly suppose that the Prayer-book is as perfect as it might be, nor can it be reasonably doubted that, as times and manners and thoughts change, it may become in some points even less perfectly adapted for general use than it once was. But the difficulty is that everyone is just as convinced as Lord Shary of the abeolute perfection, truth, propriety, and sufficiency of his own favourite alteratian. On points of order, of external arrangement, or of discipline, it might be possible to effect something by mutual conces sion in quiet times, but on matters which involve purely theological considerations, it is as difficult to obtain the alteration of a word as to pass a reform bill. The proposal of Lord Ebury last night, therefore, was peculiarly unfor tunate, for it proposed to mix up two things which are entirely distinct—the revision of the Lectionary of the church, which is a matter of mere order and convenience, and the revision of the Burial Service—a proceeding which involves purely theological considerations, and those among the most difficult and delicate. It would be impos sible, as the Archbishop of Canterbury stated, for any alteration to be made without one party in the church gaining a victory over the other. Such a result might be desirable or not, but it certainly could not be obtained without a violent and pro. longed contest, which would do far more harm than the grievance which it was intended to remedy. To those who consider the real necessities of the time, it is melancholy, as well as absurd, to see the attention of churchmen and of church reformers directed to these trifles of ceremonies, and rubrics, and formularies, instead of to the demands of religious thought, or to supplying the daily religious wants of the vast population around us. THE MARRIAGE OP THE PRINCENA MART. The interest which the country takes in all that relates to the happiness of the royal family will, says the Post, be to-day expressed in the congratulations offered to a Princess who has won not only the re-pea and admiration of those who have been permitted to approach her, but a wide pope. larity which, if sometimes given impulsively, is only retainedt as in the present instance, by conduct which commends itself. Contracted on conditions which morally guarantee domestic felicity, the mairisge of the Princess Mary of Cambridge may be properly regarded as as auspicious event. It is matter of satisfaction that Prince de Teck brings to the union qualities which illustrate high rank. The pleasure experienced will also be enhanced by the circumstance that in changing her estate in life the Princess is not about to change her country. RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS IN PARMA- ME NT. Yesterday, in the House of Lords' committees, the following busin.w was transacted. In Lord Redes dale's committee the Metropolitan and St. John's-wood Railway (capital), Worcester, Broutyard, and Leominster Railway, and the Crofthead and Kilmarnock Extension Railway were passed through.
