At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to wh om ARTIFICIAL fir E ii;TH are of vital importance from availing. themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex.ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a speciftlite pertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non - interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth unril they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from ss. Sets from 5 to 25 gm., warranted.

TimEs.----Last night the House of Commons went into committee on the Reform bills, but scarcely had it done so when an attempt was made to inter rupt the order of debate. No sooner had the Chan cellor of the Exchequer proposed the adoption of the £l4 clear annual va l ue as th e f u t ure occupa tion franchise in counties, than it was moved that the consideration of the franchi se c l auses b e post poned till the redistribution scheme had been set tled. The motion was not on ly unsuccess f u l i n it self ; it was the efficient cause o f th e re j ec ti on b y a majority of 14 of Mr. Walpole's amendment later in the evening. We regret very much that such a proposal sh ou ld h ave b een pu t f orwar d without even a word of warning, still more that Lord Stanley should have given the proceeding the weight of his authority. No doubt, there is some thing to be said in favour of the suggestion taken by itself, but no excuse can be made for the way in which it was brought forward. The Government were fairly caught in an ambush, and it was by great good luck that they were not beaten. Mr. Gladstone had no suspicion of the snare laid for him when he moved the County Franchise clause, and TV WIRY& 21z .mitininatinn the arguments of Mr. dreaming that the moment he sat down a mine would be sprung at his feet. Lord Stanley's argument in favour of his proposal was a repetition of what he said on Lord Grosvenor's Amendment. He declared the franchise qualification could not be settled with out reference to the constituencies in which they were to be operative. This is perfectly true ; no one, except, perhaps, Mr. Bright and Mr. Gladstone, who have some hazy notions that a reduction of a quali lcation is an act redressing a wrong inflicted upon " our own flesh and blood," would attempt to dis pute it. It is true, and, when the Franchise Bill stood alone, it was an unanswerable reason against proceeding further. It is now no longer relevant, for we have before us a bill which deals at once with the Franchise and Redistribution of Seats. To give it any force it was necessary to impute to the ' Government a baseness which would be suicidal as well as dishonourable. It was suggested that the fran chise clauses might be passed, and the rest of the composite dropped for the lack of time. This is pos sible, and the Government might urge, as Lord Stan ley said, that they were only carrying out their origi nal idea ; but how could they meet the charge of broken faith with the House of Commons ? The Government brought in a complete Bill, because it was the deliberate opinion of an o v er w helming ma jority in Parliament and the country that a complete scheme ought to be passed, or none a t a ll ; an d it i s now imputed to them that to war d s th e en d o f th e Session, when independent members become languid and the Opposition has begun to disperse, they may throw overboard the complete sc h eme , re t a i n i ng on l y the original franchise clauses. We doubt that any one seriously entertained such a suspicion ; the sup posed " dodge " would have been di scre dit a bl e i n it self, it would have been found i m p oss ibl e o f execu tion, and we very much fear that ru d e o b servers out side the House of Commons will agree w i t h M r. Bright in thinking that Lord Stanl e y' s mo ti on was nothing but an underhand attempt to get rid of dis cussion. Lord Stanley's motio n was d e f eate d b y a decisive majority, but it was not, and it will not be, forgotten. Mr. Walpole's Amendment p er i s hed in consequence of it, and, hope as we may , it i s im possible not to know that it will prejudicially influence the future discussion in Committee. It is too late for the Opposition to learn wisdom ? They ought to know by this time that the shape which the Reform scheme will ultimately as sume does not depend so much upon the num ber of staunch Government supporters, or on their own ranks, as upon the independent members whom they are doing their best to alienate. In spite of the adverse vote, we have no hesitation in express ing our belief that Mr. Walpole had the best of the argument, but in the House of Commons confidence is more powerful than argument, and the confidence which Mr. Walpole and Lord Stanley have hitherto inspired is in danger. Let them do their best to retrieve their position as fast as possible, if they wish their reasons to have their former weight. Mr. Walpole's speech last night, indeed, deserved care ful attention. We do not mean to say that there were no defects discoverable in it, for both he on the one side and Mr. Gladstone on the other intro duced into their speeches arguments drawn from the stores of the last century, which never had any real weight, and ought by this time to be forgotten. lt is idle to talk about the principles of the . Constitu tion before the Reform Bill. Examined strictly, the phrase has no meaning, and the sense . which is sometimes forced into it lost its .. significance in 1832. The only point to be determined . is what . is the limit of the occupation franchise in counties and towns which promises best to secure the objects of reform. In other words, what franchises will make the House of Commons the truest repre sentative of the thoughts, interests, and aims of the nation? No one will deny that there does exist in England a great diversity of classes, and that it is essential to the pefection of represen tative government that all these classes should be represented in the Legislative body. One of the simplest modes of securing the representation of this diversity is furnished by the existence of a diversity of constituencies, and any proposal simply confusing 'Parliamentary Boroughs and Counties ought to be carefully watched. The Chancellor of the Exchequer allowed in the speech in which he first introduced the Redistribution Bill that the distinc tion between Towns and Counties may be obliterated, for he excused himself from giving another member to Middlesex on the ground that Middlesex was practically a metropolitan constituency. that the he same way Sir George Grey said last night infusion of the urban element into the constituencies a of manufacturing Counties by the adoption of be £l4 franchise-limit would be considerable , was seemed to think that the effect of the admissiona neutralized by the additional singt that e agri cultural counties it would be Mr. Walpole deduc tion was, in fact, the other way.

As a mere matte r o f prudence, it is unwise to t a k e suc h a step at once. The Chancellor Exchequer favou r of a i attempted rati t n o iy m g e n e a t i i t fi h o e a g t i r o e n a argu menttth tait afford e d a convenient resting-place, since it is at once the jury qualification and the limit of the house tax,—but he failed to answer it. His chief point was, that if the jury qualification were adopted in counties, it must also be adopted in boroughs ; but t this is to be led away by words. The house is abou to reduce the occupation franchise in counties. the propriety of a reduction. The £2O rating limit was would at once enfranchise a suggested because b a e d ca di us tio e na it l is number of voters, a n d it already fixed as the qualification of jurors; and the Chancellor of the Exchequer retorted that it would then become n ecessary to adopt the jury qualification in Parlia mentary Boroughs having their own Quarter Ses sions. It is impossible not to connect the sum mary defeat of Mr. Walpole's Amendment with the imprudent, if not impudent, attempt of the Opposi tion to catch a victory on an unexpected issue earlier in the evening. The effect of it was directly to discredit every one who opposed any part what every of the Government scheme. No one will for some time be free from suspicion of insiduous de signs who ventures to impugn a single provision contained in the bill. If the Chancellor of the Ex 'chequer had not at the outset declared the intention of the Government to abandon the clause gi v i ng borough leaseholders the privilege of voting i n county elections, he might possibly have carried it also against all arguments or statistics to the con trary. As it is, the proposal to adopt a £2O rating qualification has been summarily rejected, and the House of Commons has distinctly committed itself by a separate vote on that particular question iu favour of a reduction the effect of which no one pretends to be able to forecast. The punishment has come swiftly, and we hope the offence will not be repeated ; but we hope also that, now that punish ment has been inflicted, the House of Commons will address itself to so many of the clauses of the Re form Bills as may yet be brought before its notice, disembarrassed of the memory of futile intrigues. It may seem a trite remark, but it is true that the Reform of our Constitution is a task of delicacy and and importance, and ought not to be performed y w e i sll t t h a single eErßdLyDm.oerlyn,hei morning. d p. is r nTa cim isan fi ra ti tar n yo g obp po es leirnteitgcoaarlreddopedHpooasnlses Holstein commencement of war between Austria and Prussia. The declaration of war, the actual collision, will probably still be postponed for a few days, for though it is:of course open to the Austrian Govern ment to resent this outrage at once as a manifest casus belli, it is very much to its interest not to do so until it has had time to withdraw the small Aus trian force which garrisons the Duchy. The Prus sian army has received orders to occupy the three chief places in Holstein, Rendsborg, Kiel, and Itzehoe. The Prussians in Schleswig are supposed to number 20,000 to 25,000 men, the Austrian troops in Holstein only 3,000 to 5,000. If we add to this that the Prussian force can have no difficulty in maintaining communications through Lauenburg with the main body of the Prussian army, while the Prussian fleet is at Kiel and in command of the North Sea and the Baltic, it will be apparent that the Austrians in Holstein should consider themselves fortunate if they are able to escape in the presence of such overwhelming odds. They are separated from their friends by the whole breadth of Ger many ; they must fall into the hands of the enemy if they do not get safely off before war is declared. The loss or capture of this handful of troops would make but a small difference numerically in the re sources of Austria ; but the Emperor Francis Joseph could ill afford at this critical moment to dispense with the services of Gen. Von Gablenz and the able officers who.command under him in Holstein. The Austrians are now at Itzehoe, at Rendsborg, and at Kiel. At the two latter places there have been also small Prussian garrisons, but the Prussians will now take the whole duty upon themselves. The Aus trians, if they remain, will be virtually prisoners of war. Resistance, of course, would be madness, and the only course open to them is to retire as the Prue at futons, or with the object of crossing into neutral territory, either of the free city of Hamburgh or the kingdom of Hanover. In a time of peace, war not being de clared, the Austrians will have a right to pass through Hamburg and Hanover, through Ducal Hesse and Saxony to their own country. if, before they can do this, war shall be declared, their pro gress will be arrested as soon as they have crossed the frontier into a neutral state. The troops will then pile their aims and submit themselves to the disposal of the neutral Government, which will allow them to return in peaceful guise to their homes. We may presume that the Austrian com mander has been forewarned of his danger, and has already made his arrangements for the evacuation of Holstein. One of the points of dispute which the still-born Conference at Paris was to have taken into its consideration may thus be considered to have been already violently solved by the action of Prussia. As soon as it was known that the Con ference was given up as impossible the Prussian Government issued its orders for the occupation of Holstein. This is, of course, a direct infraction of the Treaty of Gastein, which provided for the rights of the two Governments ft co-possessors of Schles wig-Holstein. Prussia was to be supreme in Schles wig, and Austria in Holstein, until the ultimate disposition of the duchies had been determined upon. In this disposition no arrangement was to be made by either of the Powers without the consent of the ether. On the Prussian side it is argued that Austria was the first to infringe the spirit if not the letter of the treaty. Despairing of a settlement of the question by negotiation with Prussia, Austria has ceded to the Confederation her rights in Holstein. In the laudable hope of ascertaining the feelings of the inhabitants, she has convoked the Estates of Holstein to meet at Itzehoe, on Monday next. Prussia considers that the main object of the Treaty of Gastein was to take the question altogether out of the hands of the German Diet. She has no intention at present of consulting the feeling of the population on the question of annexation. She is notaltogetherwurs Austria in regarding these movements on the part of A as directed against herself and her ambitious pro jects. The question of the Duchies has for the mo ment received solution. It has been settled, if set tlement it can be called, by armed force, and in defiance of rightful claims. It has probably been The aim of Austria to precipitate this catastrophe, as in the event which now seems more than ever inevitable nothing can be more desirable than that for the moment she should have Holstein off her hands. During war with Prussia her position would be untenable. Schleswig and Holstein once in the hands of Prussia, it remains to be seen how soon or how far the Government of Austria will resent the insult which has been offered to it. She cannot sub mit to it tamely without such humiliation as will amount to a retirement once for all from her posi tion in Germany, and reduce her to the rank of a second-rate Power in Europe. Rather than be the first to strike a blow on the Silesian frontier, she may appeal to the Diet to mediate between her and Prussia. Backed up by the Diet she may take the lead in a " Federal execution." Deserted by the Diet she may claim for herself compensation in Silesia for the share in the Duchies of which she has been forcibly deprived. Whichever way the war may come about, the stepwhich has been taken by Prussia has rendered the outbreak of that war only a question of time. The event has justified the wisdom of . the a part In i a n nd Austrian Government in declining to take Conference which the representatives Italy were entering upon with the avoewfeFd Three at least of insisting on herdismemberment! demand of her a of the Powers were prepared to conceded when it has Prussia sacrifice which can only be obstinacy been rung from her by war. under such ren dered war inevitable, and negotiations waste of time.

The House Last Night. Any one who may have supposed that the ob viously large gathering of the Conservative party at the time of public business in the House of Com mons originated in a desire to pay a compliment to the Princess Mary of Cambridge on the occasion when a further provision for her Royal Highness upon her marriage was to be asked was wonder fully mistaken, as subsequent events proved. That ceremonial—for it was no more—was, it seemed, rather prolonged by Mr. Gladstone, and it ap peared as if he pleaded hard for so modest a proposition as that which he made, namely, to raise the Princess's income to £5,000 a year. But there were probably other reasons why the illustrious leader should not be too brief, while rea sons in a contrary sense existed why the leader of the Opposition should not be so particularly short in seconding the motion. Perhaps there was a mo tive for Sir Wm. Hutt's occupying a little time in giving a character to Prince Teck. At any rate, by the time that the Representation of the People Bill came on the disproportion of numbers between the Opposition-and the Liberals, the former being con siderably in excess, began to decrease, members coming in behind the Treasury bench and filling seats which before were unoccupied, though they were not many, and beginning to crowd the bar. As soon as the title of the " Franchise Bill" had slided gently into that of " Representation of the People Bill," thus giving one general title to the amalgamated measure, and the next two formal clauses had been baedagosapnt d e eb d aylt wi w th it o h u t comment, Mr. Gladstone rose t o deliver a di squ i s i t i on on the county franchise, which w stating b that clause a t he e s should d N h o a t v w : s n t a t n h d i s t ag i n s ghe e of committee, as many as he chose, it was o pp ort unities obsered any arguments h e m i ght have used that he ofa anticipated in o Mr. Walpole's pr o p os i t i on to adopt a £2aOnsinwsetreatd of a £l4 county franchise, and elaborated his rea sons for its non-adoption with more than usual minuteness. The less obtuse observers not in the secret began to see symptoms of talking agai ns t time, while the initiated no doubt were convinced of something of the kind. Any way, the house had filled to its utmost capacity by the time that the Chancellor of the Exchequer sat down ; and lo instead of Mr. Walpole with his amendment, up rose Lord Stanley, and proceeded to develope the cause of the party gathering which was now so distinctly apparent. He, with what his friends seemed to think remarkable astuteness, suggested—to use his own mild phrase—that the Government should post pone the franchise clauses, and take the redistribu tion part of the bill first. A derisive smile came over the face of Mr. Gladstone as he stated his proposi tion, which implied a feeling best expressed by a familiar slang phrase. It seemed as if through the closed ranks of the Ministerialists there ran a murmur of disgust at such an attempt on their credulity. The protestatious of Mr. Egerton, who seconded the amendment in favour of Reform in the abstract, while he was ostentatiously lending himself to the now palpable device for ob struction and delay, were received with the usual ironical cheers from the wakeful Liberals and coun ter-demonstrations from the Opposition, who per ceived that their antagonists were aware of the tactics which were in operation. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright rose together, but the former gave way and permitted the latter to utter a very spirited and telling exposure of the object and intention of the motion. Probably—and there were symptoms of such a thing apparent—the brief interposition of Mr. Newdegate enabled Mr. Gladstone to ascertain that his supporters were marshalled in such force as to render the division safe, and so he was free to give way to a burst of indignant denunciation of the " mastery of the arts of ambush" displayed by the Opposition. Every word, however, was at first usual IMMODIie titlitoWle anu WILII ills USUAL Luipan sive countenance. Mr. Disraeli did not wince even when Mr. Gladstone spoke of the amendment as a delicate plant, which had been carefully secluded in some artificial atmosphere, being, as it was, unequal to withstand the rough climate of Great Britain, having been generated in some other (Asiatic being palpably understood) country. Then, with a rapid change to calm irony, Mr. Gladstone scathed Mr. Egerton ; and, once more altering his views, he emphatically exposed the object of the move, and in terms of high defiance accepted on the part of the Government what he said was the first definite issue on this question which had come from the Opposition. Everything being ready the division was called, and the struggles of some 550 members to arrange themselves into two sdctions in the narrow space which the house affords went on until such time as the tellers for the " Noes," who bore the numbers for the Government, came in, while yet those for the " Ayes" were not to be seen. Gentlemen opposite seemed to take this as an indication of victory, and appeared to be about to exhibit triumph in their usual fashion. They were, how ever, checked by observing the other tellers pick ing their way out of the crowd at the bar, and the division paper being instantly put into the hand of Mr. Brand, the Ministerialists broke out into such tremendous and prolonged cries that they proved that after all they could, on sufficient provocation, cheer as well as the Conservatives. When, too, the number of 287 for the Government, and 260 against them, were declared, the joyous noises were repeated over and over again, still renewed when the Chairman also formally stated the numbers and the rejection of the amendment. When all this was over, most of those present departed, and left Mr. Walpole with a few enthu siastic friends to cheer him when he moved his amendment by which a £2O county franchise was sought to be introduced into the bill ; and though the Government paid him the compliment of putting up a Cabinet Minister, in the person of Mr. Villiers, to reply to him, quietude prevailed in the nearly empty chamber ; which, as may be supposed, was not much disturbed ern E l d y wa t rd he efforts of Mr. Beresford-Hope Hunt and Sir F.
