TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.-- The fear of pain and dread of operation 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 18.30, and now extending 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 speeialite i 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 supporting 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 f ear o f pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur abCle.innsautlutartailei and Consultation fr free. m T to e r e t t a h b le from than any ss. s eyetts from 5 to 25 ge., warranted. produced.

THE NEW ACT ON PARLIAMENTARY OATHS.—The act to amend the law relating to P arliamentary oaths was yesterday issued, having received the Royal assent on Mon day. It recites that one uniform oath shouldbe taken by members of both Houses of Parliament on taki ng th e i r sea t in every Parliament. The oath is, " I, A B, do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to her Majesty Queen Victoria, and I do faithfully promise to maintain and support the succession to the Crown as the same stands limited and settled by virtue of the act passed in the reign of William 111., entitled, An Act for the limitation of the Crown and better securing Hie rights and liberties of the subject and the subsequent Acts of Union with Scotland and Ireland.' " Tho name of th e S overeign for the time being is to be used in the oath. The oath now appointed is to be taken in every Parliament by members of both houses. " If any member of the House of Peers votes by himself or his proxy in the Hous e o f P eers, orsits as a Peer during any debate in the said house without having made and subscribed the oath hereby appointed, he shall for every such offence be subject to a penalty of £5OO to be recovered by action in one of her M a j esty ' s Superior Courts at Westminster, and if any member of the House of Commons votes as such in the said house, or sits during any debate after the Speaker has been chosen without having made and subscribed the oath hereby appointed he shall be subject to a like penalty for every such offence, and in addition to such penalty his seat shall be vacated in the same manner as if be were dead." Several acts and parts from Charles 11. to the 23d and 21tb, 'Victoria are repealed. A meeting was held to-day in the Free-trade Hall of this town, being a special meeting of reformers delegated by the National Reform Union from vari ous parts of the country, " to take into considera tion the present position of the Franchise Bill, and the best course to be adopted by Reformers to aid Government in passing the measure through the House of Commons." There was so large an attend ance that the drawing-room would not suffice for the meeting, and it was adjourned to the Assembly Room, which was speedily filled. Mr. G. Wilson presided. Mr. JACOB BRIGHT moved a resolution expressing sincere and heartfelt thanks to the Government and those members of the Liberal party who had sup ported them, for their noble and generous acknow ledgment of the rights of the people, and for the energetic manner in which they had carried out the proposed measure for the extension of the franchise. Mr. W. TURNER, Mayor of Salford, seconded the resolution, and it was supported by delegates from a great number of places, including Birmingham, Carlisle, Leeds, and Chester. Mr. PEASE, late M.P. for South Durham, also supported the motion, which was carried =alai naously. Mr. H. MASON moved the second resolution, ex pressing unabated confidence in the Government, and approval of their recent declaration not to relax their efforts to pass the bill for the representation of the people into law, but assuring them that no measure which fell short in its principal provisions of the present bill would be satisfactory to the people. Mr. B. ARMITAGE seconded the motion, and it was adopted. The general feeling experienced by the delegates was one of satisfaction at the result of the late di vision, and of determination to support the Govern ment. Mr. BRIGHT was then called upon to address the meeting, and rose amidst great cheering. He said —Gentlemen, I think it is about a month since we last met together in this building to consider our position with reference to reform, and the portion of the measure which had been introduced by the Government. Since then we have had a great de bate in the House of Commons, and a great divi sion. (A Voice : A triumphant one.) Well, that is a /hatter about which I think there may fairly be some difference of opinion. (Laughter.). I think as far as the debate went some speeches made in favour of the bill were not answered, and I also think that a great many of those who opposed the bill in the division did not state to the house very clearly the grounds upon which their opposition was based. There were 33 men who at the general elec tion were returned as Liberals, who turned round and voted against their party, some on one pretence and some on another. The mover of the amendment in the speech which he made, complained that the govern ment of which he had been a supporter had departed from the rule of Whig Governments in past times, and, instead of taking entirely the advice of certain portions of the Whig party, had taken advice from that end of the House of Commons—that section of the house atnongst whom I generally sit. (Laughter.) I am not one of those who, here or elsewhere, un fairly deprecate the Whig party, because if you look back and take a hundred years from the accession of George 111. till this time, there have always been members of the Whig noble families who have been sincere and most useful friends of the people ; and I am sorry that Lord Grosvenor did not recollect the condition into which his Whig Government and party had' fallen in the year 1841. They were "lit office after the Reform Bill with an immense And overpowering majority. In nine years after the passing of that bill Sir R. Peel came into power, at the head of the Tory party, with a majority of 90 in the House of Commons. The Whig Govern ment had mismanaged most of its affairs ; had alie nated almost all its most liberal supporters, and it left the Government with the finances and taxation of the country in a state of discreditable confusion. During those years the most liberal portion of the Liberals were little taken notice of. Now what hap pened? In 1846, from the action of that party of whom Lord Grosvenor now speaks—not at all with contempt, but at least with something like distrus t and dislike—through the action of that party repre sented by a great association in this town, the Tory ranks were broken up, Sir R. Peel was converted on a great question, the Tories were driven from office, the Whigs came back to power, and for the last 20 years, with the exception of about two years, they have held the highest offices in the State. But during the last 20 years, if Lord Grosvenor were just to go through the journals of Parliament, he would find that all the questions which have given the Lateral Government since 1846 favour and popularity with the people, are, questions which did not originate with the purely Whig section of the party, but ori ginated and were urged on by what may be called the Radical wing of the great Liberal party. (Cheers.) All the measures which refer to taxation, and which have given to Mr. Gladstone so great a reputa tion, not in this country only, but throughout the world, all the measures which have given to this country freedom of the press, measures of utility and value which it is impossible to exaggerate, all the measures which have tended to make commercial intercourse more free with France, and afterwards with all the other countries of Europe, all these have been measures which the Government sitting on the Treasury bench have taken directly and taken most wisely from that section of the house in which I sit —(cheers)—therefore I venture to tell Lord Grosve nor, without the slightest offence (for I am not sure that he would not himself freely acknowledge it), that the power of the Whigs in the Government has been a power based on the united action of what I may call the two branches of the Liberal party ; but the policy which has been pursued, and the measures that have been carried, and the glory which has accrued to that party—all this has been derived far more from that section of the party whose advice he refuses to take now than from that section with which he is personally and by family more intimately connected. (Hear, hear.) I regret more than I can describe that we have not been a united party on this occasion. When we were here last I spoke of Lord Grosvenor with some hope that probably he would see that the course he was taking was not a wise one, and that after all he might not be found to move the amendment of which he had given notice. Notwithstanding that he has entirely disappointed me in that, I am still of opinion that he is not satisfied with the position which he has taken up ; and I think there is some ground for the rumour which prevailed in the house, that had it not been for the pressure put upon him by the opposition, with whom, unfortunately, he had come into relations on this question, even at the last moment he would not have come forward to propose the amendment to the second reading of the bill. Now, supposing that we had had a united party, that those thirty-two men who voted against us had voted with the Government, we should have had, if the house had voted as unanimously as it did on Saturday morning, a clear majority of at least 80 in favour of the second reading of the bill ; and if that had been the case I believe the Tories themselves would not have opposed the second read ing by a direct resolution, and there is every reason to believe the bill would have passed through the House of Commons without any difficulty, and that it would have been accepted with a becoming wis dom by that other chamber into which I hope before long it will find its way. (Cheers.) But these gen tlemen who voted against us from different motives have seen fit to separate themselves for a time from their party and from the Government, and will ven ture to say also, from public sympathy. (Cheers.) Y am not certain—l think it not unlikely—that someof these gentlemen, having supported Lord Grosvenor from personal attachmentprobably to him and friend ship with him, and some from one cause and somefrom another—a considerable number having given this one vote may feel it consistent both with their duty and with their interest, to, come back to the fold-- (laughter) —and give their votes in favour of the Government and the bill in its future stages. There are amongst them, I am persuaded, men who are not without sympathy for the people; men who are not wholly against a fair measure of reform, and men who, I believe, will not ultimately and permanently separate themselves from the advance which will accrue to the country by the passing of this mea sure. One thing, I think, h as ar i sen from a dis cussion over so many have risen i n generall'igfahvts;:ba:iththealbmilolstmuasltl l classes in the country, Many a h n o d stand refn r reform between what may be ca ll ed the radical and the most liberal of the Tories, o some wh o call themselves Whigs, s ome Liberal Conservatives, n servatives, some who have not been abl e to find a word that shall exactly define their delicate positiox—(laughter)— and I suspect have probably come to the co nc l usion people, that the discussion during th ese night s h as had the effect also of convincing the great b odyof the and those who, at the beginning of the discussio n , had not made up their minds—that this measure is a veiyinf*44o same time a . ye ry.ziocierate, and in the highest and truest sense of the worci also a conservative proposition, which has been brought forward by the Ministry. We have seen, too, what has been dwelt on so much to-day, that the Govern ment has behaved in regard to it in a manner that is perfectly honest and perfectly manly, and we have heard—l have heard from Mr. Gladstone's lips— language telling evidently that which was passing in his heart, which indicated the strong sympathy he has with justice and with the people, and I be lieve in that language and in those expressions he was but speaking the united view of the Cabi net, and especially the views or the sentiments of Earl Russell. (Cheers.) In another week we shall have before us the proposition for the redistribution of seats. I have always held that to be, as a matter of fair representation, just as important as the ques tion of the franchise. I know nothing whatever of what it is that the Government are likely to propose, and I won't now undertake to give them any advice —(great laughter)—for fear some very weak brother (laughter) —or some spiteful and vicious opponent should say that they have framed their Redistribution Bill upon the advice which I gave them on a platform in Manchester. All I will say is this, that I hope at least the Redistribution Bill will be so fair and so ex tensive that it may fairly receive as much confidence and favour from the public as the Franchise Bill has received, and that further we may all feel that what ever be the number of years for which the fran chise question would be likely to be settled by the passing of this bill for an equal number of years the distribution of seats question should also be settled by the bill which they are now about to produce. If that bill should be as good as we will hope it may be, it seems to me that every reason we now have to support the Government will be greatly increased-- (cheers)—because they have declared solemnly— and there is no withdrawal from that declaration— that they stand or fall by the bill, separately or by the bills together, and we have therefore the repu tation, the continuance in office, the very existence of Whig statesmen, as connected with the Radical and Reforming party—we have all'this staked on the passage through Parliament of these two mea sures. Well, if we have a Government resolved to do a thing that is right to be done it has greatpower in Parliament, and there are we knoW scores of thousands of persons throughout the country who do not come up with a rush to help a great question until they see that it is in peril, and- until they see that the Ministry by whom it is supported is also in peril. When I look at the matter I feel confident therefore that when this seats bill is brought for ward, supposing it be a fair and just measure, pro ceeding as far in that direction, as the franchise bill I proceeds in this direction, then we shall have addi tion—l will not say addition justification, but addi tional stimulus—that we shonld all individually, and wherever we meet our fellow-men throughout the country, do everything that lies in our power to sup portthe Government until those measures are passed. (Cheers.) The bill that we are discussing is, after all, let us not forget, is in some sort like all great measures, almost a compromise. We had a perfect right to ask the Government to propose a bill with a £lO county and a £6 borough franchise, and we had every reason to believe that such a bill would have been proposed, but when one that falls short of that is proposed, we don't immediately quarrel with our friends, R, n d drive the Government from office, and contemptuously kick their bill out of the house ; but we view it regarding all the diffi culties of this question, and the difficulties which a Government must surmount to do anything, and, therefore, we, I will not say willingly, we reluctantly, but still with a certain degree of cheerfulness, and with perfect honour, abstain from pressing for that which we believe we had a right to do. We admit all the difficulties of the Government ; we admit the timidity, the fears of certain persons who do not think as we think, and we are willing to give our hearty assistance to carry a measure which the Go vernment, under the circumstances, think the best that they could propose. Having done that the question is what shall we do in passing through committee, where there are pitfalls at every step ? I think we have a right to call upon the Govern ment to stand by the figures that they have pro posed. (Loud cheers.) I say that the true interest of the Government is to stand absolutely by three things that are in that bill ; the £l4 franchise for the counties, the £7 franchise for the boroughs, and the total sweeping away of those odious and miser able clauses which were called the rate-paying clauses affecting the £lO voters. (Cheers.) I think it is the true interest of the cause of reform that they should stand to those figures, and they should hold them to be essential and vital points of their bill. If they were to make any deduction from those figures, to do what certain people on the other side mean when they say, we would not object to a £2O franchise for the counties, and an £8 or £9 rating— or some stupid proposition—(laughter) —for the boroughs —and then after all we could settle this question—l say there is no greater mistake. I will undertake to say, if they depart from this propo sition, which has been accepted in so fair and rea sonable a manner by the whole reform party throughout the country, that carry what they may short of this, the question would not receive a per manent or even a temporary settlement. (Cheers.) I believe there would not two years pass—there would not be another Parliament pass through its existence, elected upon this bill, so shorn of its in tegrity, in which there would not be repeated pro posals to re-open the que stion of the a nd franchise re-open the question of seats. (Hear, h ear.) e • all know that in our own boroughs, everywhere, any alteration of the franchise t above £7 i n the an entire borough would be in itself almost it would show exclu sion still of the working muesn:lave passed since the passing of the Refor m an d they did much t o enable pass — w e are no more prepar e d now to dothat them ll even m oderate justice th an men w ere at that tim e. (Cheers.) And it would con _ bi t o pab this fi rm them in the feelin g that there . ere was an ineradic able d i s t rus t and fear of them amongst the ri c h and pow erful classes of the country. (Ch eers. ) I as sume that the Government will be firm. There is not a particle of evidence to justify even the smallest sus picion against them. I believe that Lord Rus sell, w h en he consented to those figures, consented with the express understanding that that was the point to which the Government should feel itself pledged, and it is impossible to have listened to the speeches of Mr. Gladstone and to believe that he could in any degree withdraw front - propositions which he himself has described as go moderate and so necessary. Now; I suspect that on Monday next, when the bill for the redistribution of seats is brought in, there will be some discussion, and we gentlemenwit hr e gar d w o h t that h av o p r b o o p e o n s i h t i u o n n g a s r y shall begin to di scover what is the tone of the house o w fo e r ll a dis as re this t . ri T b h u. e . tion bi ll — (laughter) — w h o have quoted in the House of Commons extracts from speeches stated thats eve a n of mine mad e about wherein it was rsago, wherein yea of seats was as important as a franchise . bill, and who; have quoted those extracts to show how inconsistent I was in supporting this Franchise Bill and not joining them in insisting upon a redis tribution bill—these gentlemen who have been I . don't know where, but in a very high point of en thusiasm—(laughter)--in favour of redistrilmtion of seats, it is just conceivable that next Monday their enthusiasm will have greatly evaporated—. (laughter)—and they will begin to find that the danger which they discovered in the Franchise Bill was very small indeed compared to the imminent peril of the other. (Continued laughter.) If this should be the case, if we don't find a great number of the 33 coming back to their old friends—if we. find that that large party, upon whom I look some-, times with astonishment and often with pity— (laughter)—in the House of Commons, make the same fight against the two bills they have made against the Franchise Bill, what is the course that we ought to pursue ? It is evident the time has come when the great question must be again decided, whether the great liberal party and population of this country shall submit to that small reactionary minority which has been so loud in the House of Commons during thelastthree weeks. My own opi nion is that that reactionary party is a very small minority in the country, audthatthough they polled. 313 votes to our 318 that is no wsure rof the position in th e count ry. 3u(X more than that, I believe it is no measure of the position they hold amongst the middle classes of the country, if the working classes for the moment were put entirely out of the question. Then we should come to this great struggle —I don't care myself if it is to come how soon it comes. (Cheers.) Every day during which the discussion on this question is continued, whether in Parliament or the country, there will be a more entire cohesion between the intelligent • middle classes and the great multitudes of the working classes of the people. (Cheers.) That took place in 1831 and in 1832, and at the last that union became so complete, and their power so demonstrated, that opinion swept, as it were, like a whirlwind from one end of the country to the other, and that great Tory party which had ruled was not even to be discovered scarcely in any por tion of the nation. (Cheers.) Let us then observe minutely what is passing in the House of Commons. Next Monday night will be the first night when you will have any distinct intimation of the temper of Parties there. When we see that the same opposition is to be made, that probably the bill or bills and the Government may be in jeopardy, then I think nothing could be more wise than that the whole Liberal party throughout the country should give that expression of support to the Govern ment which would convince the Government that change of their bills, or withdrawal of their bills, or postponement of their bills, or the resigna tion of the Government, would be a fatal policy. (Cheers.) The bill in 1831 was not carried without a dissolution of Parliament. It may be that this bill must go through the same ordeal. I believe that every day's discussion will make the result of a dissolution more certainly in favour of Reform, and I hope that when we separate—the many here from various towns from the North of England —we shall do all we can amongst our neighbours to prepare them for the struggle that may be impending. Re collect what you gained by the struggle of your fathers in the year 1832. You gained an amount of freedom and of good legislation which centuries be fore had not given you. I will not say recollect, but measure what good you will gain for your children and your children's children, if you now by one grand effort enable the Government successfully to pass the bill. The hon. member sat down amidst great cheering. After a vote of thanks to the chairinan the-meet ing terminated with three cheers for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and more cheers for Earl Russell. Naval and Military Intelligence. His• Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, as Field Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, held a levde yesterday at the Horse Guards. Nearly 150 officers attended. Yesterday being the anniversary of the birth of Prince Arthur, her Majesty's ships Victory and Duke of Wellington, with all others in commission in Portsmouth harbour, the Pallas at Spithead, and the Irresistible at Cowes, hoisted the Royal Stan dard and national ensigns at their mastheads in honour of the day. At noon a Royal salute was fired. The Cherub and Minstrel, nnarmoured screw gunboats, fitted out for service in North America and the West Indies, having made a satisfactory trial of their machinery, will go out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead to-morrow, where they will receive their remaining stores and undergo their official inspection prior to sailing for their destina tion. They are reported to sail on Thursday evening or Friday morning from Spithead, and it is expected that the armoured screw corvette Pallas, 6, Capt. M. Connolly, will convey them on their voyage as far as Madeira. The band and remainder of the 66th Regiment arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from Devonport. They were disembarked at the dockyard, and for warded at 4 pon. by special train on the London and South-Western Railway to Aldeishott Camp via Farnborough.

Reynolds, and Clement Swetenbaum. MR. JOHNSON'S OBSTINACY.— The Times thinks that the unshaken confidence of Mr. Johnson in his own policy is extremely remarkable. With more than two-thirds of t h e Senate and nearly three-fourths of the House of Repre sentatives in open opposition to him, with the knowledge that many who endorsed his Veto did so against the express instructions of their Con stituents, and with a somewhat lukewarm Support even from the Democratic party, Mr. tat Joh nson he is re mains firm, whol l y unconscious t hat b ea ten. i t is true that he still enj oys a well earned personal popularity, especially at New York, and is vigoro usly backed up by the chief organs of public Opinion in that city. Th e A m erican press, however, by no means exercises the influence whi c h i s of ten attributed to it, and Mr Johnson's own election, no less than President Lin coln's re-election, are recent proofs that Republican principles commandh an overwhelming majority in the North . T Mr. T Is e '1 imes admires the calm attitude of Johnson, but even his followers are beginning to doubt whether he thoroughly understands the nature and intensity of Northern sentiment. There arc generally two ways of carrying a point, and the way selected by Mr. Johnson looks too like an in- Opportune defiance of a very formidable antagonist. " C'est magnifique, mail ce n'st pas is guerre," a n d a little conciliation of the triumphant North, as well as of the vanquished South, might perhaps have been more politic . • FRENCH SPIRITS.—The Director of Customs has published official returns, showing that the quantity of spirits distilled in Franco between the Ist of October last and the Ist of April amounts to 1,433,487 hectolitres ' • 1,190,343 hocl o lit re s were withdrawn from th e stores during the same period, of which 181,016 hectolitres were exp orted, and 1,009,327 hectolitre s consumed a t home. By compa • those figures with the p roduce during the correspond in g riP. six months of the preceding season, it wi ll btl found tha t there were 401,837 hectolitres more spirits distilled during the last six mouths, and 822,765 more hectolitres consumed.
