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 1830, and now extending 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 freedom from pain, a specialitd f..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, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from ss. Sets from 5 to 25 gs., warranted.

There are many orders for yarns held back to-day that would have been executed at a fair price but for the stagnation at Liverpool. There have, however, been a fair amount of orders given out, considering the state of the market, but we close very tamely, with a disposition to lower prices. In home-trade yarns the market is even more depressed than in those for export. There has been very little business, and prices are decidedly in favour of the buyer. The cloth-market is in a very stagnant and gloomy condition, from an excess of the feeling which has prevailed for this week past, and which undoubtedly had its origin in the heavy receipts of cotton and the anticipated decline in prices. Buyers are holding almost entirely aloof, and abstain almost altogether from even suggesting a price at which they would be willing to operate. Such offers as have been made have been so exceedingly low and reduced that any possibility of making them a basis for business is out of the question. Hitherto sel lers have hardly been under the necessity of meeting the market on lower terms, owing to the heavy con tracts held by manufacturers, but many of these are drawing to a close, and to-day there have been evidences of a greater desire to negotiate with buyers on more favourable terms. As before stated, however, the only prices offered are so low that no actual operations can be approached, and any quotations must be considered entirely nominal, al though some of the larger sellers record an actual decline of some significance in their prices current. As compared with last Tuesday, some of these make a reduction on madapollams of 3d. per piece, of 6d. per piece on printers, of 3d., 6d., and in some cases 9d. on shirtings ; of 3d. to 6d. on jacconets ; of 43-cl. to 6d. on T-cloths, and of 6d. to 9d. on long cloths. 91b. 45-inch shirtings, which were quoted at 20s. last week, are now offering at 18s. 9d. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of the cloth market The depressed tone noticed last Tuesday has not altered during tie week, and buyers have but timidly offered at gradually declining rates. To-day the gloom is still greater, and the only business offered is at prices so low as to render both business and quotations quite out of the question." CARDIFF, 9th.—The steam coal trade of the dis trict a healthy vitality, and as i orderss characterised m s by onc, ewhat freely, the various co llieries are pretty fully employed, but the con tinued emigration of the more experienced hands from the Aberdare and Rho n dd a V a ll e y s to the United States is causing much inconvenience to pro prietors. The export tade is acti v e, an d consider able quantities are being shipped to the Continental markets. A good business is also being done on colo nial account. Souse teal is in limited request. The iron trade shows signs of improvement. Quotations remain without any malerial change. The pig-iron market still shows an u?ward tendency. LEEDS, 10th. —A danp and cold morning has had a prejudicial effect upen the public markets in the cloth halls to-day. rite attendance of both buyers and sellers was below at average, and the amount of cloth which changed hinds was not large. As for the past few ' wicket days the goods selected were of a miscellaneous n ature, many of the purchases being made when a concessioi of price was allowed suffi cient to tempt the buyer. The country clothiers report that they are moderately busy, but that ex tensive orders for autunn and winter fabrics have not in many insta nceo bee n given out. The wool n d at the hte sales of colo n i a l wools in going nto the bands of inanufac iarkpeut purchased ch keeps was se quite fern, and much of that which London is fast turers. NOTTINGITAg, 10th.—We had a fair attendance at our Exchange-hall o-day, but there was a dull demand for lace yarns. Fine numbers were about the same ; coarse dittotended downwards. The de mand for hosiery yaris was moderate, and prices were ged. All kinds of silk a very notheavy m ally e i , clanged, and pices were a shade lower. The inquiry for brown nets vas inactive, and prices were m aterially easier. ROCHDALE, 9th.--Tiere was a rather limited at vost's house on the 26th of February, at which the Bishop of Derry presided, was as follows :—" We, the undersigned members of the United Church of England and Irelaud, desire to express our earnest hope that the principle of united secular education, as opposed to the deno minational system, may be maintained in Ire-, laud. Without pledging ourselves to an approxal of the national system in all respects, we entirely admit the justice and policy of the rule which pro tects scholars from interference with their religious principles, and thus enables th e members of diffe rent denominations to receive to ge th er, i n harmony and peace, the benefits of a good education."

Lord Wodehouse, promised to forward it to the Government, from whom, he had no doubt, it would receive the ),Host careful attention. The remains of the late Bishop of Limedek left this city yesterday en route for the county of Armagh, where they will be interred. The funeral cortege to the railway was very numerous. Amongst those present were the Lord Chief Baron, the the Bishop of Killaloe, Mr. Justice Keogh, &c. Thg chief mourners were Mr. Edward Griffin, vicar. general of the diocese of Limerick,; the Rev. Mr. Hare, chaplain to the late bishop ; Mr. Griffin, his son ; and Mr. Walter Mare, J.P., his son-in-law.. The Town Council yesterday, on the motion • i f Alderman M'Swiney, adopted a petition to Parlia_ ment praying for the assimilation of the ices charged in Ireland on the transfer of land to those payable in England, which are much low.tr. The motion was carried unanimously, and the petition is 1 : 4 Le presented atih,b ar, of the House of Com mons by the Lord Mayor. The Commission of Oyer and Terminer was opened in this city yesterday, but there are only a few cases to be tried. The death of Mr. Jephson, who was murdered at Carrick-on-Suir Workhouse on the 31st ult., has inspired all the inhabitants of that town with the - deepest regret. The Town Commissioners walked in procession at his funeral, and presented an ad dress to Mrs. Jephson expressive of their sincere sympathy with her in her affficticn. UniverEity Education in Ireland. Yesterday was issued a copy of a letter dated March 26 from the Secretary of State for the Home Department to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland on the subject of University Education in Ireland. After stating the position in which the question stands at present, and the view which the Govern ment took when the matter was brought before the House of Commons last year, the letter goes on to say that the most expedient course to take would be that which was adopted in 1864, viz., the revo cation of the letters patent, by which the existing charter was granted, and the grant of a new one with extended powers so as to enable the Queen's University to confer degrees not only as at present on students from the Queen's colleges, but in addi tion to these either on candidates for degrees who had pursued a course of study in other colleges to be affiliated to the University, or on all matricu lated students applying for degrees, and passing the required examination irrespective of their place of education. This would involve a surrender of the present charter, and the acceptance of the new one. Assuming that such a surrender could be made, her Majesty's Government were of opinion that all ma triculated students should have a right, as was now the case in the London University, to become can didates for degrees irrespective of the place of their education. No special advantage would then accrue to any college from its being expressly connected with the university—the degrees to be conferred to be exclusive of degrees in theology, as at present. With regard to the mode of constituting the senate her Majesty's Government were of opinion that With fi__NV,F___Qi...watitamtl - ke yeatitte..f ,- bo-niunt --srcßo. persons of different religious denominations. Out of the 17 members of the present senate only four were Roman Catholics, of whom one was an ex officio member as president of the Cork College. • Her Majesty's Government felt it would be desir able to remove this great inequality as between Protestant and Roman Catholics, and that they could rely on the judgment and discretion of the Lord- Lieutenant to recommend for approval, as members of the senate, properly qualified persons for that office. In doing this the Lord Lieutenant would bear in mind the deep interest felt in the question by the Presbyterians of Ireland. With this view the Government decided to request his Excellency to prepare the draft of a charter in conformity with these views, but before doing so the Government thought it necessary to take the joint opinion of the law officers of the Crown of England and Ireland on the question whether the proposed change in the Queen's University could be effected with the con sent of the existing corporation, and if so, by whom and in what form such consent could be given. They were also asked in what other way, if any, the proposed change in the power and constitution of the university could be legally effected. In the opinion of the law officers it was undoubtedly in the power of her Majesty by a supplemental charter to enable the Queen's University to grant degrees to persons who had not received any part of their education as students in any of the colleges of the university, and that a surrender of the present charter would not be necessary if the object in view could be sufficiently attained by granting such degrees only without giv ing to this class of graduates the status of members of Convocation or introducing them into the corpo ration of the University, but that otherwise a valid revocation or surrender of the existing charter would be indispensable, and upon a careful examination the law officers were of opinion that the powers both of the Chancellor and senate, and of the Convocation were too limited to enable either or both of these bodies to make any valid surrender. Her Majesty's Government, therefore, propose to submit a bill to Parliament, with a view to remove the obstacles which at present prevent the accomplishment of the object they have in view.

GUILDFORD. One of the largest and most enthusiastic gather ings which has ever been held in the borough of Guildford took place there on Monday evening in favour of the. Government Franchise Bill. The spacious hall was crowded to overflowing, and the proceedings were characterised by perfect unanimity. Mr. D. Macdonald, county magistrate, occupied the chair, and was supported by Mr. Onslow, M.P., and many gentlemen of local influence. Four resolutions were adopted expressing cordial approval of the bill, each of which was proposed by an elector, seconded by a working man who would come in under the £7 franchise, and supported by a gentleman of posi tion in the county. The second resolution, moved by Mr. Wursley, seconded by Mr. Godfrey, and sup ported by Mr. Onslow, M.P., was as follows : " That this meeting cordially accepts the bill now before the House of Commons as an honeSt and valuable instalment of reform, and confides in the present Government to follow it up by such mea suers that the industry, the intelligence, and the property of the country may be fairly represented in the Legislature." Letters were read from Mr. Bright, M.P., expressing his sympathy with the megting.ansiSrptiz. Mr,,a., - u..Prkm.meto suppoft the bill by every means in their power.

The largest and most enthusiastic political meet ing which has for many years been held in this town took place on Monday evening.

Mr. Frederick Gould, a magistrate of the town, Mr. Barrett Leonard, Mr. J. Carvell Williams, the Rev. Carter Moore, M.A., Mr. Rhodes Cobb, Mr. Charles Walter, and others, including several working men, took part in the pro coedings, which were marked by great unanimity and earnestness. It was agreed to petition both houses of Parliament in support of the bill, and to promote petitioning in the neighbourhood. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Tuesday. A somewhat mysterious occurrence took place in this city last night. About half-past 11 a party of five or six men drove up to Steevens's Hospital and asked admission for a man who had been shot, whom they had brought with them on a car. Ile was re ceived, and on examining him it was found that a ball had entered at the base of his chest and passed out at about the tenth rib. The only account which he would give was that he was drinking in a public house in Thomas-street, and that, going out into a laneway which adjoins the house, he found two men disputing about the qualities of a revolver. They were standing very near him, and while they were handling the weapon it exploded, and the contents passed through his coat, vest, and inner clothing, and pissed out at the tenth rib, the ball with which it had been loaded making in its passage a severe wound in the chest ; but no serious danger is appre hended. He states that he is from Manchester, but will give no further information respecting himself or his friends, and the police state that none of the party have any settled employment. Two men who accompanied the wounded man were taken into cus tody. Three pikes have been found in a field near the town of Belfast. The weapons are quite new, and appear to have been ground sharp. They were found sticking point downwards in the field. A suspected Fenian, whom the police have been look ing for in the county of Waterford for some time, has turned up working in a band of navvies. He was of course lodged in gaol. An " Anti-Fenian demonstration" has taken place at Balbriggan, near this city. Two persons having been recently arrested in that town on suspicion of being engaged in the Fenian conspiracy, advantage was taken of a short visit by Mr. G. A. Hamilton, the Permanent Secre tary of the Treasury, to his residence, Hampton Hall, near Balbriggan, by some of the principal tenantry, to consult with him as to the best means of removing the discredit which these arrests might s be supposed to bring upon a neighbourhooddalt: always distinguished for the loyalty and good eon , t tion of loyalty its inhabitants.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FoR 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, refusedadmittance, andhavo 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 Ile 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.

Mr. Henry Parnall took the chair, and, having opened the business of the meeting, addresses were delivered by Mr. John Richardson, C.C., Mr. Taylor, and other influential residents of the district ; and resolutions were carried declaring the Reform Bill a just and honest measure, and a petition was prepared for presentation to Parliament praying it to pass the second reading of the bill by a large majority. BERMOND SET. A great demonstration in favour of the Govern ment Reform Bill took place last evening at Spa road, Bermondsey. Upwards of 3,000 working men attended. Mr. Layard, M.P., and Mr. Locke,M.P., occupied seats on the platform. Mr. Ellis, a work ing man, filled the chair. The CHAIRMAN urged the meeting to accept the Government Bill, as it was really a boon for the working classes. (Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. SINCLAIR proposed the following resolution :—" That the working men of this coun try are entitled to a larger share of political power than they now possess ; that this meeting accepts the Government bill for the extension of the fran chise as a substantial instalment of reform, and re cords the expression of its confidence in theinten tions of the Government, announced by Mr. Glad stone in their behalf, to proceed as soon as possible with those measures which are its proper comple ment." Mr. CULMER (a working man) seconded the re solution, and it was carried with acclamation. Mr. REDGROVE proposed, Mr. BISHOP seconded, and it was unanimously agreed to, that a petition founded on the foregoing resolution, and signed by the chairman, be presented to the House of Com- Stainw - ali to ietlifegtetrtb support its prayer.' " Mr. LOCKE, who was received with loud cheers, then addressed the meeting. He said there was no necessity for discussing the merits or demerits of Earl Russell's bill, and it was heartily accepted by the working men whom he saw around him (Cheers.) A large meeting of the Liberal members of the House of Commons had taken place at Earl Rus sell's that day, and in addition to the consideration of the Reform Bill, a declaration was again reite rated that other measures besides the Franchise Bill were necessary. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Locke) spoke advisedly when he said that the success of the second reading of the Reform Bill depended upon the people of England. If they came forward and boldly demanded their rights, they would get them in spite of every opposition. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Locke) was one of those who believed that without party they could do nothing, and he, representing the Liberal party, confidently believed that party would effect a triumph in the present juncture. (Enthu siastic cheering.) He believed they would have a majority, and if he were in Newmarket he would not mind saying—by odds of from 25 to 30. (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. LAYARD rose to address the meeting, and was heartily cheered. He said when he looked at the vast assemblage of working men before him he re gretted he had not chartered a 'bus to bring from the Houses of Parliament those gentlemen who de clared that a reform bill had no interest for the working men of this country, and if they wanted it they were not worthy of it. (Groaning) He was sorry they were not honoured with the pre sence of Lord Elcho, Mr. Horsman, Mr. Lowe, and another gentleman whose name he would men tion in a whisper—Mr. Doulton. (" Oh, oh," and groans.) He had heard it said that the extension of the franchise was required as a boon. It was more than a boon—it was a right. (Enthusiastic cheering.) The Liberal party were always anxious to accord that right to the working classes—and it should be said that they had magnanimously waited for it. (Renewed cheering.) He had seen in one of the morning papers a statement, which, if true, was a disgrace to the country. It was stated that the Marquis of Bath had ejected some of his tenants at Frome, who had spoken in favour of the Govern ment Reform Bill. (Groans and hisses.) Now coercion of that kind was a foul stain on the poli tical character of the country. ("Hear, hear," and cheers.) With respect to the important meeting of Earl Russell's party, held that day, and alluded to by his hon colleague, a most interesting statement was made by Earl Russell. The noble lord at the head of the Government was asked by Mr. Ayrton the following question :—" You have told the country that you are prepared to stand or fall by this bill for the reduction of the franchise. If the House of Commons is foolish enough to reject that measure do you say you will resign ? If the bill for for the re-distribution is thrown out also, will you consider it necessary to resign ?" Earl Russell said, " Yes. I look upon these measures as part and parcel of one great scheme, and the Government pledge themselves to stand or fall by the result." (Loud cheering.) He (Mr. Layard) believed that the present Government represented the people better than any Government that preceded it, and with the question of our relations with the United States, the condition of Ireland, European relations still pending, it would be a disaster to the country to entrust the reins of government to Lord Derby's Government. (Cheering.) Mr. DRESSER ROGERS, in proposing a vote of thanks to Mr. Layard and Mr. Locke, expressed his gratification at the number of working men who had come to endorse the views of those gentlemen on reform. He was proud to say that Southwark had done its duty. (Cheers.) The usual compliment to the chairman concluded the proceedings. BRISTOL. A densely crowded meeting was, we learn by electric telegraph, held last night in the Broadmeade rooms, Bristol, in support of the Government Re form Bill. The chair was taken by Mr. C. F. Thomas, and euery class in the community was re- ( z
