'')4;., ..__._ tezumas, died at West Point, in to • .."-,'; s York, at fi ve m i nutes past eleven o c ock l., • g tal• morning of the 29th May. This great soldier, descended from a Scottish family, was born in Petersburgh, Virginia, June 13th, 1786. Though educated for the law, he chose a more congenial profession, and in 1808 be came a captain in a division commanded by General Wilkinson. That officer preferred a charge against him for disrespect, and he was sentenced by court martial to suspension from rank and pay for one year. This year Captain Scott turned to advantage by a careful study of his profession. On the break ing out of the war of 1812 he was advanced to the rank of Lieut.-Colonel, and took part in the. action of Queenstown heights, where he and his command became prisoners of war. On rejoining the army after the capture of York, he was given Adjutant-Gan dpo e s n te er l al t . o (Tlehneerga,iluDadietarry the rank of Colonel, B 0 lIN'S staff as of Colonel Scott in the attack on Fort George was was madeconspicuo a Br conspicuously o a wn e . r_G l e n n t e h r e al s , p a r l i a n a g g o i f ve l n Bl a 4 Scott com- mand at Buffalo of three brigades and a battalion of artillery, where he introduced the French system of tactics with such success that these troops be came the most highly-trained in the army. This was shown in the desperate actions fought in July, 1814, on the Canadian bank of the Niagara River. The two actions of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane established Scott's reputation, and ex alted the prestige of the American army. These two desperate actions, where the best of the American and the best of the British troops were pitted against each other on equal terms, are among the bloodiest on record. Scott had two horses killed under him, and was twice severely wounded. Peace was proclaimed and Scott raised to the rank of major -general. He declined a seat in the Cabinet as Secretary,f War, and presented himself to Paris shortficafb:r the battle of Water- ag n l onleiodnl i e t ra a h l r i l l y rh s. e , re m ,il a ni t s h f t a e , e ,n r G s ha trey d n w eT i r t a aa h n el titei °P s e so gu m i le: b o t il oi f n ot i nsh tY sftoa oi rntdh d aer isc dA Napoleon's u br ;b i ft , of the nation —carne out in the long followed.

Both in this affair and that of the Canadian rebellion, which followed closely aft er _ wards, enlisting numerous sympathisers in the United States, the firmness and good sense of General Scott were conspicuously manifested, and his services became of inestimable value in prevent. ing a rupture between this country and the United States. c r - 0 1 2 3. , V% \ .- , ~ „, 6, -- 1 7 ‘* l A 4 . * g'..r %tl ,tt 'M.' isS -1 • fili" • • -- _DIZOIT. •• / 179.!: ONDON must have a SUPPER and MUSIC VANS' 3 10 031 for Gentlemen.

Yet that was the case hi the Commons House of Parliament of England, where everything was supposed to be complete and perfect. Ho thought the • space behind the speaker's chair offered a ready means of increasing the accommodation, and he hoped the right lion. gentleman would give his best attention to the matter. To put hini self in order he would conclude with the motion that the house do now adjourn. Mr. CRAWFORD' protested against the hon. baronet introducing a matter likely to lead to a debate, and the con s,qu,nt inconvenience of no less than 22 members who had matters standing for consideration that evening. He thought it was a needless interruption of business. Mr. W. COWPER said he should not follow the hon. baronet into any of the matters he had stated. Ho had received no notice that the question would be raised, and therefore ho should confine himself simply to answering his question. For 18 years there had been no cause of complaint with respect to the accommadation offeredby the house. The subject had been fully considered when the house was erected, and therefore ho saw .no cause to take the step recommended by the hon. baronet. Viscount CRANBOURNE said the unseemly scuffle which had been witnessed on one or two occasions of late was a disgrace to Pacliament, and he contended that the convenience of all was the great object to be obtained. In that house all were equal, the good speaker and the bad speaker, in fact they were all on an equality in that house as if they were all Chancellors of the Exchequer. (Hear, bear, and laughter.) He thought the house of Commons was the only legislative chamber in the world where the total number returned to participate in the debates were- not accommodated with a seat. Ile elpld name places where the membersnot only bad seats, 'llit'isepttrato desks before them, ,yet the Parlia ment of England, numbering 658, assembled in a chamber in which there was sitting accommodation for only three or four hundred.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY. — The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEKTII are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex eliding over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the moss sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute treeJom from pain, a specipte t ertaining only to our prac tice,has granted her royal letterspat patent. This I for iis w s h 3 lc s h er te h mem MajesY b.aels the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the support rig 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 nerv,us 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.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT Mr. EWART moved that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be graciously pleased to cause to be placed within the pre cincts of this house, a bust, offered by his widow, of tie late Joseph Hume, Esq. ; who for nearly 40 years ably, laboriousiy, and disinterestedly served his country in the House of Commons. The time was now approaching when the events occurred which placed General Scott among the most celebrated commanders of his time. Texas was annexed, and a war with Mexico commenced. To obtain peace, it was found necessary to carry the war into the interior of the Republic; and to General Scott was assigned the command of the army. Vera Cruz was captured, and made the base of his operations, whence he advanced over a most diffi cult country with an uninterrupted success till he came in sight of the capital. That city, lying in a great basin, was at a former period entirely sur rounded with water, and reached by causeways, celebrated as the scene of some of the most deadly combats fought by the Spaniards for the capital of the Montezumas. It is even now dotted around by lakes, and still approached by causeways. By a skilful series of operations Scott so placed his force that little hope of a successful defence was left to the city, when he offered terms. Fail ing in inducing the garrison to capitulate, the city was carried by a succession of successful attacks. On the morning of September the 14th Quitman's division held the Grand 'Plaza, and the stars and stripes floated from the National Palace. HOUSE OF LORDS.-LAsT EVENING.

SYDMONTON MARRIAGES BILL. Lord KINGSDOWN introduced a bill to legalise these marriages, which was now read a first time. TROYTE'S ESTATE BILL. The standing order of the house, No. 143, was considered and dispensed with, and this bill put through it stages. The Capital Punishment Bill was re-committed. Lord ST. LEONARDS moved to strike out of clause 13 that portion of it which related to executions taking place within the walls of thoprison. The amendment was opposed by the Duke of Richmond, the Lord Chancellor, and the Bishop of Oxford. Lord DUNSANY condemned the practice of hanging by inexperienced persons as most inhumane. The Earls of ROMNEY and MALMESEURY supported tho amendment. Upon a division the amendment was negatived by 75 to 25. Col. SYKES, having had the good fortune to enjoy tho friendship of Mr. Hume for 25 years, rejoiced that at last his labours had met with recognition in that house. His native town had erected a statue in acknowledgment of the distinction he had conferred upon that town. The people, by a penny subscription, had placed a painting of Mr. Hume in the University of Loudon, and, with the balance that remained, had founded a scholarship in politi cal economy. (" Hear, hear," by Mr. Mus..) Under these circumstances it would have been discreditable to tho House of Commons if they had not taken an opportunity of recording their sense of services which were so highly valued elsewhere.

For many years he had the friendship of Mr. Hume, who, he was sure, had no selfishness, rancour, or party feeling in his character. (Hoar, hear.) Mr. KINNAIRD, who Eat with Mr. Hume in that house, added his testimony to that already given. Mr. D. GRIFFITH would not say a word against what had been said in eulogy of Mr. Hume, but if without in delicacy ho might allude to other eminent members now lost to that house, ho would point out that Mr. Cobden was entitled to equal consideration, and that the house might be establishing an inconvenient precedent by ac cepting a bust offered by the members of a distinguished man's 'ail-lily. 11[A1R-CURLING FLUID, 248, High Holborn, London. —ALEX.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FO HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. 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. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be gratofully received by the Rev.

TEST ABOLITION BILL. Mr. COLERIDGE said, as a division was proposed to be taken on the third reading of the bill, he should fix that stage of the bill for the 3d of July. JUDGE LONdFIELD. Mr. WHITESIDE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether Judgo Longfield had notified his intention of re signing his judicial situation in the Landed Estates Court; and whether any and what changes in the constitution of the Court were contemplated consequent upon such re signation ? Mr. C. FORTESCUE said there had been a correspon dence between the learned judge and the Government, in which Judge Longfield led them to believe that he should not long retain his present eminent position. He had not at present formally resigned his seat on the bench. BANK FAILURES. Mr. HODGRINSON asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in order to mitigate the inconvenience arising from the recent failures of banking and discount companies, her Majesty's Government would bring in a bill to enable the official liquidators of such companies, when in course of liquidation under the Joint Stock Companies Act, to issue to depositors and other creditors certificates of indebtedness, to render such certificates, and the debts thereby certified, transferable by endorsement ? Mr. M. GIBSON said the question was in effect whether the Government intended to create a now class of securities at present unknown to the law. lie did not think that any special circumstances had been made out for special legislation in favour of banking and finance companies referred to. He was not prepared to bring in any such bill. BANS DISCOUNT. Mr. GRANT asked the Chancellor of Exchequer whether, if the Bank of England were to reduced their rate of discount below 10 per cent, per annum, the power granted to them by tho Government letter of issuing a larger amount of notes than was fixed upon law would cease ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said no new power was granted by the letter. It was merely an en gagement on the part of the Government in a certain case to make application to Parliament. With respect to that pert of the question as to whether the contra c t wou ld re main in force, su pposing the rate wa s under 10 per cent., he had to say that the latter only applied to matters while the bank continued to charge 10 per cent. for advances. As to the effect of the letter in the event of the rate rising above 10 per cent., that would be considered as a new event, which must be dealt with on its own merits. SITTINGS IN THE HOUSE. Sir G. BOWYER asked the First Commissioner of Works whether her Majesty's Government were prepared to cause an inquiry to be made with a view to affording adequate accommodation to members in the house, and prevent thereby the serious inconveni ence wh i ch mem b ers sufficient number especially during thi s session, for want of a ber of seats. The reason why ho put the question was due to the crowding that had been witnessed during the last few evenings, which showed tho inade quacy of the accommodation provided for members in the present limited condition of the sittings in that house. The house consisted of 658 members, and the sitting acco modation was put down by some persons as only 300, although he must say he had heard it as he thought more correctly stated at 400. It appeared to him ridicu lous that a body of gentlemen amounting to the number he had stated should be so inadequately provided for. If at present a gentleman wished to ensure a seat in that house on any evening when important business was to be transacted, he had to come down to the house at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and then perchance he might succeed in his desire. (Hear, hear.) He was sure the pushing and squeezing that took place on a recent occa sion was most disgraceful, as it , arose solely on account of the limited capacity of the house. If the Chinese had constructed a house just st4Cielit to accommodate 400 the ability of the house would be able to judge any case that arose according to its circumstances, and therefore, though by no means as a matter of course, but after care ful consideration, he, for one, and he might say the Go vernment also, cheerfully assented to the motion. (Hear, hear.) He had listened with great pleasure to; the speeches of his hon. friends. If any particular stamp of character was to be estimated according to the rarity of its appearance that of Mr. Ilume must stand very high. The long series of public men of great influence in Par liament had never failed. Mr. Hume was down to this hour without a successor. (Hear, hear.) It was, perhaps, the highest tribute that could b 3 offered to him to record that fact. That was in itself ample justification of the motion, and it might servo to allay the apprehensions of those who wore afraid of the precedent. He would not refer to another name different in many respects frcm that of Mr. Bruin°. Both wore illnstrious, but each had his own province and his own work, and each so did that work that they who remained behind might wish nothing better than to do likewise. (Hear, hear.) He had rarely known, if he had ever known, a character more remarkable than that of Mr. Hume. Involved as he was for nearly forty years in the wear and tear of political strife, and in the most worrying and irritating details, he never departed from a cheerful and genial spirit. Ho was an economist, but he never lost sight of the necessity for maintaining the efficiency of the establishments. In all that related to colonial government, navigation, and the corn laws, he saw the truth at a mo ment when it had hardly dawned on the horizon, and yet he was content to forego notoriety, and the applause which was the reward of public men, and to give the labours of his long life to the working out of laborious details. His sense of public duty enabled him, when he had little else to reward him, to reduce public expenditure by a few hundreds or a few thousands, labours not seen when per formed; but time, which was the test of all characters, had ensured his permanent fame. Although ho had not the satisfaction of agreeing with Mr. Hume, he had felt his in fluence in the financial affairs of the country, and never did he give an assent with greater gratification in that house than when he assented to this proposal. ' Mr. HATFIELD regretted that the great merits of Mr. Hume had not been earlier discovered. Mr. WHITE also regretted that more of this respect was not paid to Mr. Hume while ho was alive. The motion was agreed to. Mr. SYNAN called attention to the treatment of pri soners in the county gaol of Limerick under the Habeas Corpus Suspension (Ireland) Act, and he moved that in the opinion of the house such treatment had been unneces sarily severe and unconstitutional, and that it was the duty of the Government to prevent the continuance of the same. Dr. BLAKE seconded the motion. Mr. C. FORTESCUE explained the system adopted by the Government, and asserted that prisoners under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act wore no worse treated than other criminals. Mr. MAGUIRE urged that there had been unnecessary severity in the treatment of Fenian prisoners iu Ireland. lie condemned the practice of solitary confinement pre vious to their conviction, and he moved for certain infor mation relative to prisoners confined in Belfast gaol. This was promised by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND, and Mr. SYNAN withdrew his motion. Mr. T. CHAMBERS was moving an address to her Majesty concerning the mismanagement of the Cape Rail way, when the house was counted, and there being only thirty members present the house adjourned. GALLANT ACT.—We take the following from an East Canada paper, the St. Hyacinthe Courrier:— "As a train of the Grand Trunk was passing through St Liboire in the night, a young gentleman, Mr. Bachand, noticed that a house was on fire while the people seemed to be asleep. He urged the conductor to stop the train, or at least to slacken it, but met with a refusal. The cou rageous young man leaped, however, from the cars, broke his leg, and yet crept to the burning house, which was that of Mr. Urgelc Desmarais, merchant. The family were all asleep, as Mr. Bachand had supposed, and he roused them just in time to save their lives, with one exception, of a young lady, 22 years old, a niece of Mr. Desmarais. She has perished in the flames. Mr. Bachand deserves a medal." te lv n e ir t t;G oi e n n t e . r Hotel, Lieu ----..--- F al or iV n tfi v el;l e S a zt h t e d h i as ed s a p t en n t o t e h ' e s summer there. On his 'arrival on the 10th ult. he remarked to a friend, as he came fromtheboat, that he bad come to the old academy to die. He was then very feeble, and had to pause upon every step at the entrance of the hotel. But he after wards rallied considerably, and was out on the 26th in the viaage and at the orary- He app eare d .to , strength.

He was a ersburg, on the 13th descent. June, 1786, and of Scottish His ances tors were ardent supp orters of the Stuarts and took refuge in Virginia after the battle of Culloden. He was called to the bar at the age of 20, and com menced practice in Charleston in 180 T; but he was not so successful as he desired, and his mind was natarally adapted to a different life. Accordingly he entered the army. His first experience of mili tary life was rather discouraging. It appears that in 1800 the conduct of his superior officer; G eneral Wilkinson, led him te , intlalge in—starre expression which, though just, betrayed a want of discretion, and, after a trial by court-martial, sentence of sus-• pension from pay and service for 12 months was pronounced upon the offender. The 12 months was devoted to unremittingstudy of military science, so that on the proclamation of war in 1812 between the United States and Great Britain there was none better qualified to lead his countrymen against the enemy. He was at that time promoted to the position of lieutenant-colonel of artillery, and he acquired the reputation of being one of the best officers in that important department of the army. At the battle of Queenstown Heights his intre pidity and skill as a commanding officer were for the first time brought out in a most conspicuous and creditable manner. The engagement was one of the most desperate recorded in the annals of American warfare, and although it ended in the defeat of the American forces, the victory of the enemy was dearly purchased. Scott, with his sur viving comrades was captured and sent to Quebec ; but he was soon afterwards liberated by an exchange of prisoners. In this battle his personal daring and lofty stature rendered him a prominent mark for the Indian sharpshooters, who, as in the in stance recorded in the life of Washington, exerted their skill to the utmost, but without success, to bring him down. Failing in open, manly conflict to destroy their fearless and intrepid foe, they had recourse to their Indian cunning and treachery to carry out their foul design. Gaining access to his prison, two of them rushed upon him, but were foiled by the superior agility and strength of Scott, as well as by the fortunate interposition of Captain Coffin, of the British army, to whose timely pre sence in the hour of danger his escape from his savage enemies was partly attributable. The bravery of Scott wus recognised in a substantial manner. after his release by his promotion to the position of Adjutant-General and Chief of the Staff under General Dearborn, who at that time was command ing on the northern frontier. The justice of this promotion was made manifest by his conduct on the capture of Fort George, and at the battle of Chippewa. At this last, as the two armies ap proached to close quarters, Scott called out to M'Neill's battalion, " The enemy say that we are good at long shot, but cannot stand the cold iron. I call upon the 11th instantly to give the lie to that slander. Charge I " Sweeping upon the enemy with the force of a mountain torrent swollen by autumn floods they drove them from the field, and that, too, with their own favourite weapon, before which it had been the boast of the British no foe was ever able to stand. At Niagara, sometimes called Lundy's Lane, where he was twice wounded, he even surpassed himself. He was the first man to enter the fort. When peace came he continued to serve his country, and was successful on various important missions of a diplomatic character. But his crowning distinction was the brilliant campaign in Mexico in 1847, where he reduced Vera Cruz, stormed the castle of San Juan d'Ulloa in four days, and after several victories marched his army of scarcely 6,000 men into the halls of the Monte zumas, and broke the Spanish dominion in America. In 1852 he was nominated by the Whigs for the Presidency, but beaten by Franklin Pierce. On the 28th of February, 1855, the brevet rank of lieutenant-general was revived in order that it might be conferred on the hero of Mexico. George Washington, Winfield Scott, and Ulysses S. Grant have been the only recipients of this great military honour since the foundation of our Government. In 1859 serious differences as to the boundary line of the United States and British North America through the Straits of Fuca having arisen, and a disputed military possession occurring, General Scott was ordered to that distant locality, where he happily established a satisfactory state of affairs and settled the difficulty. The commencement of the rebellion found General Scott still in command of the army, and every inducement was offered him by the rebels to join their cause, but his firm loyalty and love for his country's flag were proof against them, and he unhesitatingly threw the weight of his great and solid reputation on the side of the Union and the Government. In reply to a commis sioner from Virginia, who tendered him, in behalf of that commonwealth, command of her forces in the coming struggle, he said :—" I have served my country under the flag of the Union for more than 50 years, and so long as God permits me to live 1 will defend that flag with my sword, even if my own native state assails it." While Pre sident Buchanan remained in office the command ing general urged the wisest precautions to prevent the armed withdrawal of the 11 seceded States from the Union ; but his counsels were either un heeded or disregarded by the Cabinet at that time. After the capture of Fort Sumter he silently, but swiftly, strengthened Washington city and Fort Pickens, he secured the safe inauguration of Pre sident Lincoln, strengthening the Potomac line of defence, and organised our rapidly increasing army. But the work was too great for his physical strength, and at the end of October, 1861, he felt obliged to relinquish his post. The resignation could not be declined. President Lincoln and Cabinet waited on the General at his residence, when the President read the order relieving him, conveying to him the expressions of sadness and deep emotion of the President and a unanimous Cabinet at his with drawal from th e ac ti ve con trol of the army, the nation's sympathy in his physical infirmities, and the profound sense of the important public services rendered by him to his country during his long and brilliant career. During the years of war which followed the General was a close observer of th e life , na tion's struggle for and no one viewed it with more solicitude than he. His advice an d counsel were frequentlysou g ht by those a t th e helm in Washington, and Mr Lincoln once went alone to West Point to consult with him. During his retirement he prepared and published a porti on of his autobiography, but aside from this commu nion with the public he has kept very secluded, either at West Point, his summer home, or in this city. Another volume of the autobiography will shortly be forthcoming, it is understood, which will contain much of interest which could not ap propriately be published during his life.— Ne w York Herald.

It declares that it is a concession to the weak-minded unlucky. It prejudice th a t F r i days are is only in late years that this day was selected for executions in the State of Pennsylvania. Before the Revolution, and up to the execution of Richard Smyth, Tuesdays were generally appropriated to executions, and Smyth was executed on a Saturday. A correspondent objects to Friday, which he states to be the b h y oli w e a s s put late day next to Sunday, as that on which our Redeemer suffered for us.
