A contribution of £3lO had been received from the working men of Edinburgh, to defray the cost of a lifeboat; also £435 collectedforthe same purpose from the grocers in England, through the indefatigable exer tions of Mr. William Read. £2OO has also been received on account of the Civil Service lifeboat, promoted by Mr. J. A. Dow and Mr. Malcolm Goldsmith. Various other lifeboat funds had also been recently received by the institution. During the past month new lifeboats had been sent by the institution to Hayle, on the Cornish coast, and to Braunton, near Barnstaple ;,both boats were the gifts of benevolent persons to the Society. Th e Hanseatic Government had applied to the institu tion, through the Board of Trade, for information to enable them to establish a lifeboat society in that country, on the plan of the National Lifeboat In stitution of England. It was reported that the in stitution had now eighteen lifeboats building for it. The boats contributed by the people of Hudders field and Leicester were to be exhibited in those towns on Whit-Monday on the way of the boats to their stations. The institution had now nearly one hundred and seventy lifeboats under its charge, and their number was gradually increasing. Re ports were read from the inspector and assistant-in spector of lifeboats of the institution on their recent visits to the different lifeboat stations of the Society on the coast.

The public are asking who will take their places when Mr. and Mrs. Kean retire, and in the apprehension that their like is not again to be met with for some time, playgoers are natu rally anxious to see as much of the old favourites as conveniently may be.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY._ The fear of pain and dread of ope.ation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH 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 mos* sensi tive sufferer a bystem of dentistry perfect in its absolut e freedom from pain, a specialitd t ertaining 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 support•ng instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until 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, n.i ural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation tree. Teeth from ss. Sets from sto 25 ge., warranted.

TIMES—We lately had the painful dutyof calling attention attention to the fact that the highe s t place llrish Common Law Bench is occupied by a Judge 90 years of age. Chief Justice Lefroy was once a man of learning and eloquence, of a powerful and penetrating mind. If he had been advanced to his present office in the full strength of his intellect, he would have fulfilled all his duties with success, and might have left a name honoured in the annals of the law. But, unfortunately, the unworthy close of his career is likely to obliterate the recollection of his former merits. He will be remembered, not as the keen lawyer of the past generation, but as the feeble and decrepit magistrate of the present, clinging to a dignity the duties of which he cannot perform, and exhausting the patience of too forbear ing and indulgent people. We have refrained from entering into individual cases in which the senility of the Chief Justice has worked a denial of right to suitors ; but the matter which was the subject of conversation in the House of Commons yesterday evening shows in so strong a light this great scandal that we must call particular attention to-it. It will be remembered that last year a young officer named Clutterbuck was murdered by a man whom he had hired as a guide on a shooting excursion. This man was tried before Chief Justice Lefroy, and the At torney-General for Ireland prosecuted. What oc curred will be best understood from the debate of last evening. Mr. Bryan, the member for the county of Kilkenny, asked the Attorney-General whether his attention had been drawn to a statement pub licly made, to the effect that the Lord Chief Jus tice, when passing sentence of death on a prisoner at Tullamore, was unable to read the sentence, although written for him in large handwriting, and that his lordship required and had the assistance ‘ of some other person in the performance of that citify ; and whether that statement was substantially cor rect. To this question the Attorney-General con tented himself with replying that the statement " was substantially correct." Up then rose Mr. Lefroy, the son of the Chief Justice. This gentle man, who is himself 66 years old, hastened to vindi cate his father from the charge of failing energies. He entered into an explanation which, so far as we can see, explains nothing at all, and informed the house, on the authority of " au eminent Queen's Counsel," that a mistake had been made by the in formant of the member for Kilkenny. But Mr. Lefroy was probably little prepared for what fol lowed. The Attorney-General rose and declared, that he knew the statement to be strictly true, in asmuch as it was he himself who had dictated the sentence to the Chief Justice. "The day on which the execution was to be carried out," said the Attorney-General, " had been arranged beforehand, and the officer of the court wrote out the sentence in large characters for the Lord Chief Justice, who however, was totally unable to pronounce that sen tence in the legal form, and omitted a material clause, which would have rendered it void in point of law. As conducting the_ prosecution for the Crown, it became my duty to call the Chief Jus tice's attention to the omission, and I was obliged to stand near him on the bench, and dictate the sentence to him over again in legal form. These are the facts, which can be substantiated in any way if necessary." Such is the declaration of the First Law Officer of the Crown in Ireland with respect to a matter in which he played a principal part, and on which he cannot be mistaken. If anything can add to the scandal of such a proceed ing, it is that men should be found in the House of Commons to defend the Chief Justice, and to encourage him in the retention of his office by pretending that he is still in possession of all his power. Mr. Whiteside begins roundly that " the complaint was the most miserable cavil ever submitted to a body of intelligent and reasonabe men." This is the confident nisi pries style, and may have its effect upon twelve Irish jurymen, but is not likely to persuade the House of Commons, particularly when followed by a lame attempt to show that the Chief Justice ,ine.r.V . hesitated as to the day of the exeeii'' ana by a , deprecation of any referensg .ta event which took place at such a eo as eight months ago. remog It is quite evideP*-11 the Attorney-General would never hair,..ttie so public and c on fide n t a state t N‘ ere not sure both th a t th e f ac t s were _ n _lsniable and it was necessary for the public ser 'vice that they should be known. On this last point we entirely agree with him. The incident at Tul lamore is only an instance of what is said frequently to occur, and we ha v e no hesitation J'n dec Lanni , - tbate'for some action in th e ma tt er . I t - the Justice will not take the advice of those whose counsels, though more unpalatable than those of his intimate friends, are more wholesome, there will be nothing left but to resort to that extreme course which the Constitution provides for the removal of an unsuitable Judge. The public is, we think, very ill used in this matter of judicial appointments. No country pays its Judges so well, none gives them such splendid allowances on retiring. After a term of service, which is not long to any man who comes to it in the prime of life, a Judge may retire with a pension equal to the major part of his salary. If he be overtaken by permanent illness or infirmity, he is provided for during life. We ought, then, never to have a; physically incapable Judge. If it were understood that men were to be selected as Judges in the full strength and energy of life, and were to retire as soon as they became unequal to the perfect discharge of their duties, the public would only have the advantages which are justly its due. But this is not the case. Men are not placed on the Bench until an advanced age, and until they have speht all the best years of their lives in building up their private fortunes. They then feel themselves at li berty to keep their appointments as long as they are bodily able to take their seat in Court. The cause of their persistence is not difficult to find. They are often unconscious of their failing powers, and perceive no distinction between their present and former treatment of a case. As long as they are capable of rousing themselves occasionally— and sometimes they succeed thus far in a wonderful manner--they imagine they possess all that they ever possessed, and would resent criticism if they ever heard it. It is the rarest thing, however, that anybody criticises except in a whisper. The Bar submits sullenly; the unfortunate suitors suffer in silence ; the Government leaves things alone ; a somewhat odious subject is left to the press. But this indulgent silence cannot be always preserved. The country requires as judges men in the vigour of mind and body. To speak of the isolated speeches of Lord Lyndhurst at an advanced age as proof that a man can fulfill the duties of a chief justice at 90 is an absurdity. There can be no comparison be tween making an occasional speech and sitting in Court from morning till evening, day after day, with the mind continually taxed, to say nothing of the labour of noting down voluminous evidence. The bench and the bar would not, we conceive, have any ground of complaint if an age were fixed for the retirement of all persons holding judicial and legal appointments, and if no one were allowed to remain in office beyond it. Our own opinion is, that few men are capable of fulfilling the functions of a judge after they have attained their three-score years and ten. Who would commit any important business to a man 75 or 80 years of age ? If men of that age remain members of a firm of merchants or lawyers, the business is always really done by younger men. How, then, should the most im portant of all functions be fitly performed by per sons of such advanced years ? The subject is one of much importance, and we trust it will not be allowed to pass out f remembrance. HERALD.--It is much to be regretted that the rumour, which on Wednesday evening caused a sudden rise of securities in the Paris Exchange, to wit, that France, England, and Russia had agreed to mediate or intervene in the interests of peace be tween Austria and Prussia, has derived no sort of corroboration from the news which has since reached us. That such a combination might do something more than advise, that it might speak authorita tively to the opposed Powers, whose bickerings have now arrived at such a point that they threaten an immediate disturbance of the peace of the world, can hardly be a matter of doubt to any reasonable man. We may go further than this. The co-ope ration of the great neutral Powers is not only the most likely means of extrication from this great dilemma, it affords us the only chance of escaping from an embroilment, the disastrous consequences of which it would be impossible to 'exaggerate. United these Great Powers would be strong, indi vidually they are powerless. The advantages of a common. action, which would cost them so little, are BO great and so obvious, that it seems almost super fluous to insist on them. Without adding a single a soldier to their armies, a single gun to the arma ment ment of their fleets, without a pound of extra ex penditure, save what would be required Infoolscap, ene , the three Great Powers might become speeches „r o c rn tom of mankind—might save their ueofa overwhelming calamity, by , the uthteirla bec — There is peace, and therep e ac w e , oti n d Europe. Were France, England,sa and Russia, to. the C4erraaaa say this simultaneously, war between Powers, war between Austria and Italy, would be absolutely impossible. Whose fault is it, then, that the word is not spoken ' • whom are we .to blame for the lame n t a bl e fact that the nations of central Europe, without hindrance or remon strance from without, are about to cut each Other's throats in a foolish quarrel which results from their own wrongdoing? Russia is on such close terms of alliance with Prussia and Aus tria, her prosperity and her very career are so in volved in and interlaced with the fortunes of her quondam friends of the Holy Alliance, that we can not believe that she has been backward in proposing mediation.

We may take it for granted that neither England nor tussia - P would object to such combined mediation. We may even presume that both have urg e d i t. While this y mediation seemed still possible there was an alter native before us. On the one hand, peace might have been restored, armaments reduced ; Austria, Prussia, and Italy might have shaken hands across their frontiers ; all pending questions might have been settled without shedding a drop of blood ; everything finally arranged without an appeal to arms. On the other hand, there would be a colli sion compared to which railway accidents, earth quakes, volcanoes—all possible commotions, convul sions, catastrophes, and slaughters, are but fleabites. A shpek of two armies, each of half-a-million of living, thinking, intelligent, and fighting beings, against another army of three-quarters of a million of the same trenches and battlefields heaped with wounded and slain, the plains of Saxony, Silesia, and Venetia manured with human carcasses, the whole green centre of Europe running with blood, nations deci mated, empires and kingdoms dismembered, old landmarks obliterated, and the map of the world re modelled ; what once was orderly involved in inex tricable chaos, the active power of a generation emasculated and unproductive, and traditions of hatred and hono ur b equeat h e d to posterity. Whose fault is it that the Powers who have the issue of all this practically in their hands have not chosen the better part, but consented to suffer all this mischief to brew undisturbed? We should be sorry to say that it was altogether the fault of France, but we must nevertheless draw attention to the exposition of French policy by the Minister of the Interior in the Corps Legislatif yesterday. The speech of M. Rouher certainly goes far to justify the imputations which have been cast on till., policy, which has been accused of inclining to this absolute neutrality, of which such boast is made, simply-because France is not averse to war in Germany, but expects to reap some positive benefit out of the wreck which it will make. M. Rouher deprecated a discussion on the German question, and objected to the criticisms made on the conduct of Prussia by M. Thiers and M. Jules Favre as likely to cause inconvenience and embarrassment in the present position of affairs. We are not informed in the telegraphic summary what efforts were specified by M. Rouher as having been made by his Government towards the main tenance of peaep. They were probably limited to the writing of letters containing an abundance of good advied. Such as they were, they were says M. Rouher, " by a firm resolve not t o co .tract any obligation, and to maintain liberty r,/ action in questions which, after all, did not affect her honour, her dignity, and her. interests." The country of Louis XIV. and Napoleon must be sadly changed when it can protest that such a convention as that which is impending on its border concerns it so little. M. Rouher takes his stand, it seems, on an " honest neutrality," of which we can only say that we trust the event will justify the adjective applied to it. France, we are told, is de termined " to profit by her liberty of action," an expression which would have an ominous sound were it not qualified by the words which follow— templates — sueraVal t T a'c i Er r nfr i Nt'WlVlLlQPW Rouber has uttered in so oracular a manner are altogether without meaning, and were probably meant to be so. No such declaration of disinte restedness and honesty has been made by either England or Russia. The French Government is at all events the first to avow that it has made, and -.4 will make, no earnest or decided effort to avert war in Europe. It is true it has hastened to assure Italy that it is " thoroughly determined to throw upon her all the perils and risks of any attack she may make upon Austria." France is adding to her army, and massing her legions in the south, but it is not to help Italy, only to provide against eventualities. The army of the south is to protect " the power, security, and liberty of France." France will not help Italy, but Italy " is unfettered in her resolu tions," and may seek for further aggrandisement in another alliance. To the alarming news that now reaches us from every side—Prussia and Austria simultaneously refusing to disarm, a general war fever and a new loan in Italy—this manifesto of the French Government adds a fresh element of dis quietude. We could wish, in the interests of peace, that the language of M. Rouher had been less am biguous and less liable to misconstruction. Royal National Lifeboat Institution. A meeting of this institution was held yesterday at its house, John-street, Adelphi ; Earl Percy, P.C., in the chair. There were also present Thomas Chapman, Esq., F.R.S., V.P. ; Sir Edward Per rott, Bart., V.P. ; John Griffith, Esq. ; Admiral McHardy ; W. H.

The minutes of the previous meeting were read. £lB 15s. was ordered to be given to the crew of the Mundesley lifeboat, for going off on the 7th and Bth ultimo, during stormy weather, and saving the crew of 11 men of the barque Elizabeth and Mary, of Whitby, which had stranded on the beach be tween Mundesley and Bacton. The Birmingham lifeboat No. 1, stationed at Caister, had succeeded in bringing to port the steamer Corbon, of Newcastle, and her crew of 12 men. She had been disabled near the Cockle Sand during hazy and stormy weather on the 7th ultimo. A reward of £6 was likewise granted to the crew of the Rosslare life boat of the institution, for going off and sav ing the crew of six men of the smack Shamrock, of Wexford, which had become a total wreck on the north end of the Dogger Bank. Soon after the rescued crew were in the lifeboat, the smack completely disappeared. A reward of £6 was also given to the crew of the Henry Nixson lifeboat, at Maryport, for going off and assisting to save the lives of three men and the master's wife from the schooner Treaty, of Goole, which had gone ashore t to £55 were also g l , v l e es, b y on Dub Mill Scar, 8 miles E.N.E., of 111 . ary n po for r Rewards amounting valuable services rendered during the tven, Dundalk, the crews of the following lifeboatsioifa viz. :—at Great Yarmouth, Budeod I'Vexford.

Cumberland, undll to two other men, in acknow ledgment of their intrepid conduct in rescuing, at considerable risk of life, a man from a very perilous position off Drumburgb. Marsh on the 16th u lt. Various other rewards were also granted to the crews of shore-boats for saving life from different wrecks on our coasts. Payments amounting to upwards of £8,6(0 were . -ordered to be made on various lifeboat establishments. The thanks of the the stage each received a generous welcome—not .a mere formal recognition of talent, but a Warty greet ing as of friends returned after long absence. Mr. and Mrs. Kean divided the honours, each being applauded with equal cordiality, and of course each acknowledging the kindness of the audience with evident fervour. Surely it is not needful at this time to say anything either in commendation or de scription of the acting which for more than thirty years has maintained an uninterrupted and in creasing popularity, and we shall therefore not attempt to perform this unprofitable task. We may say, however, that increasing years bring about no apparent diminution of their histrionic powers, and after their long and arduous tour both return . to England with all their former artistic polish and elo cutionary ability, and with unimpaired physical strength. Indeed, in watching the performance of last night, with its vigour, force, and precision, it was almost inconceivable that one was listening to the same voices, and watching the same acting, as took the public favour by storm in Covent garden in 1833, and subsequently in Mr. Charles Kean's first grand provincial tour. Passing years have only added refinement and experience to the natural endowments of both, and these popular favourites, who are now about to enter upon the last scene of their professiorial life, still retain all the powers which first won them fame. Mr. Kean's consummate skill was soondisplayed last night, and IR4t ts interview with,Basaanio, and Still more cpert. - • , lost none of his former carefulness in acting, effec tiveness in delivery, and extraordinary facial powers. Never perhaps was the depth of passion and despair more terribly rendered than when the usurer disco vers the loss of his money and his daughter ; and the gleam of malignant satisfaction assumed in the fourth act, when Portia decrees the judgtnent of the bond, is a magnificent dramatic contrast to the blank amazement and horror which seize him when thwarted in his vengeful purpose. These are, of course, mere salient points in a well-drawn stage picture, full of beauties and adroit passes of skill, and all itsdiverse parts, combining to form one complete and effective. whole. So also with regard to Portia, the acting was everything that good taste, happy disposition, and great talent could secure. Mrs. Kean was blithesome and genial as she always is, vivacious and animated without being giddy or indecorous, and giving a perfect realisation in tone and bearing to Shakspere's conception of his heroine. All her speeches, and they are neither few nor unimportant, were de livered by Mrs. Kean with the force of an accom plished elocutionist, and the author's bcautitul description of the quality of mercy was spoken in a way that earned the loudest applause of the audi ence. In addition to the cheers which greeted them while the curtain was up, Mr. and Mrs. Sean were several times called to the front between the acts to receive the congratulations of the company. The reception altogether was a flattering one, and is at once a high complement to the artists and to the appreciative tastes of the audience. The other a endation, characters were generally well filled, B assan i ° and ris be s in a g ge de a s e e e r es vi s n o g r t specialwere is commendation, m creditably N an e dt s h a e t managed. To-night the chief item in the programme will be " Louis XL," in which Mr. and Mrs. Kean will take their old parts of Louis and Martha respectively. To-morrow they take their benefit, when they will appear in two pieces, " Henry VIII." and the " Jealous Wife." We need not tell the public to go—they are sure to do that; but those who wish to get in should go early, else they will stand a poor chance of seeing even the doors. Naval and Military Intelligence.
