TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY .- The fear of pain and dread of ope anion inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEI are of vital importance from availing them.elves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1f330, and now ex endinr , over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensk tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a speci.ilite t ertaiuing only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embi aces the non-interference with all stump., however decayed, the supporting instead of extrae• 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 cm be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth arc cheaper, more dur able, natural, and vomtorlable than any yet produced. Cmsultation free. Teeth ftom ss, Sets from b to 25 go., warranted.

In the City on Saturday there was a manifest abatement of the panic, having regard to the ap pearance of the streets in the neighbourhood of the Bank. Not that the excitement which began on Thursday evening on the announcement of the failure of Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co., and prevailed in a more intense degree throughout the whole of Friday, had altogether subsided, but at no part of the day were any of the streets in the bank ing quarters-inconveniently -crowded. --bombard street and Bircbin-lane, in particular, where most of the intense excitement of Friday prevailed, had begun to assume their wonted quietude, and at no time on Saturday was the ordinary traffic impeded by any crowd of idlers. Shortly after mid-day, when the evening papers were expected to make their appearance, the newsvendors' shops in front of the Royal Exchange were besieged, and the jour nals were in great request. The public curiosity was then gratified by the appearance of the correspond ence which had passed between the Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England and Earl Russell and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, result- ing in the suspension of the Bank Charter Act, and with some other intelligence as to the state of pub lic feeling in the City during the morning. All things concurred to show that the public anxiety and suspense had been greatly allayed, and a mani fest feeling of relief appeared generally to prevail, from a belief that the crisis had passed. With respect to a complaint against the City authorities for not having insisted on maintaining a clear approach to the various banking houses and to the Clearing-house, it should be stated, to the credit of the Lord Mayor, that on finding the thoroughfare so densely crowded he gave very peremptory in structions to the police to clear it, as far as practi cable, of all but persons who appeared to have legi timate business there, and that he himself on being released from his duties in the justice-room was seen in the thickest of the crowd on foot giving directions to the police in the emergency. The result was that the services of a number of the most experienced men in the force were brought into requisition, under Inspector Foulger, and in that way the traffic was facilitated as far as practicable ; but they had a most difficult duty to discharge, considering how little they were able, in a crowd mostly composed of well-dressed people, to distinguish those who were there from sheer curiosity from those who bad legi timate business to transact. (From the Economist.) The failure of Overend, Gurney, and Co.(limited) has given occasion to a panic more suitable to their historical than to their recent reputation. It will be found that when that firm was converted into a private company we expressed ourselves most anxiously and guardedly as to the value of their shares. Of course, we could not say what we then believed, and what was generally known, that the old firm had by most .reckless management reduced one of the most profitable concerns in England to one of the most losing con cerns. We can only say what we can prove, and though we thought this as much as we now think it, we could not say it in print without legal con sequences. We expressed ourselves with guarded caution, and under the circumstances this is all which we could do. Now no one doubts that the state of the Joint-Stock Discount Company is very much like the last state of Overend and Co. un- limited, and that there was much more excuse for the Joint-Stock Discount Company than for this old partnership. The former had to make a busi ness in opposition to extreme competition—the latter had only to pick the best business. The plain truth is that Overend, Gurney, unlimited, for the sake of high interest took bad securities, and in consequence some one must reap the due conse quence of that badness. As to Overend, Gurney, and Co. (limited), as far as we can learn, in any new business they did the best they could, but they could hardly help bringing over old business of very ques tionable nature from the old firm. The worst bills and securities they would strike out at once, but the rest in the common and usual course of affairs they would renew and take on. And in so doing they must have taken on some of the worst bills in England. The consequence is that they are stated (as the accounts are not made up we cannot vouch for it) to have lost most of their paid-up capital at any rate. We have often heard it said, and we our selves believed, that the failure of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (limited) (which we have thought possible any time this three months) would not produce at all the effect which would have been produced by the failure of the private firm some years since. But, in fact, the failure of Overend's could hardly in their most reputable days have produced a greater effect. It has been signally shown how an old name, which all really instructed people knew to have lost its virtue, still retains its magical potency over the mul titude. Lombard-street has been thronged and almost stopped by curious wanderers in a way we never saw it stopped before, and, on the whole, we doubt if there ever was a collapse of credit more diffused and more complete. It has hardly been observed how new an element of danger limited companies intro duce. The moment the operations of the Stock Ex change depress their prices that instant a run begins. Oyerend's, no doubt, deserve to go, but many com panies may go which did not deserve it, merely from the depression of their shares. Some cause there is generally for such depression—really sound people never suffer so; but that cause is often painfully exaggerated, and the warning that companies which live by credit (as all banks:must)ishould avoid trans actions having even a taint of evil, so possible is it that such taint may diffuse itself and destroy their whole reputation. At Birmingham some degree of uneasiness was created on Saturday morning on the announcement of suspension by Messrs. Pete and Betts. As to the panic itself and much of the anxiety which prevailed on Friday subsided when it became known that the Bank Charter was to be suspended. Neither on Friday nor Saturday was business at all out of the ordinary way at any of the banks ; in one or two instances the amounts of money flowing in to those establishments were larger than usual. The intelligence of the suspension of payment by the firm of Peto, Betts, and Co. became generally known to Bristol early on Saturday morning, and created a profound impression, as well from the magnitude of the failure as from the fact of Sir S. M. Peto being one of the members for the city. Hopes were generally expressed that the suspension might only prove temporary, and the circular which appeared in The Sun, giving the estimated liabilities and assets of the firm, was received favourably. There were, nevertheless, speculations as to the pro bability of Si r M or t on P e to's seat for Bristol be coming vacant ; and in the course of the day Lord Claude Hamilton was introduced at the Commercial rooms by Mr. W. M. banking firm of of the . ° • Baillie, Carr, Edwards, and Co.; of Bristol , a visit to which political importance was attached by some. Mr. Handel Cossham, the defeated candidate for Nottingham, and one of Sir Morton Peto's com panions in the tour made last autumn through the United States, also appeared and received the con solation of his friends on his recent unsuccessful at tempt to get into Parliament. It was stated on Saturday in The Sun that a meeting had be en h e ld at Norwich to express con fidence in the banking firm of Gurneys and Co., of Norwich. The meeting, although called at an hour's notice, was numerously attended, the Mayor (Mr. W. P. Nich o l s ) presiding. Mr. C. Evans, Chancellor of the diocese of Norwich, moved the first resolution, which was as follows:— , , T citizens of Norwich, convenedthis t by yth m e e A e l t a in y g nr -o a f t the an hour's notice, declares publicly and unhesitatingly a i t ; : d u B n i T o k u b n e d n e k a d c a o n n d fide unabatedne ei trheeliahnoneusennofin3Gurneys t financial security." Mr. E civilised Evans said th e name o f only the Norwich. world, andaaNtohre foGurneyl, but was over known,notw h nl e emblem of everything up r i g h t and honourable, and the same might be said of th e Birkbecks. He was sure all present would be prepared to testify their unbounded confidence in the firm by taking as many of their £5 notes as they could get hold of. (Laugh ter and cheers.) Mr. 0. Springfield seconded the resolution, and deprecated a pitiful panic. The re solution was carried unanimously. Sir S. Bignold aaid he could not allow the meeting to terminate without expressing his high opinion of the probity, honour, and wealth of the house of Gurney. Sir Samuel added that he recollected hearing some months ago that an old lady rushed to the bank with a deposit note, and on being asked whether she would have bank-notes or gold, although pre viously under the influence of a sort of panic, she said, apparently, very indignantly, " No, give me Gurney's notes." The notes were given to her, she put them in her pocket with thettmost possible con tent ; and the result proved that she was justified in that contentment. Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and a vote of thanks to the Mayor concluded the proceedings. Some consternation was felt on Friday morning on a notice being affixed to the doors of the English Joint-Stock Bank at Poole, Bournemouth, and Christchurch, that the bank " had temporarily sus pended payment." The effect of the stoppage will be felt more at Bournemouth than at either of the other places, a large amount of building going on there. Builders had been tempted by the facilities offered to transfer their accounts from another bank to the English Joint-Stock Company's office, and it appears there are some large accounts there. At Poole the bank had taken some large premises occupied by a draper, taking them from him for the remainder of a lease, and paid him about three times the amount he was paying for rent. They h ave been to a great expense, having paid over £l,OOO for fitting up their office. The inhabitants are only 9,000 to 10,000, and the place is not remarkable for business, with two other banks there. Another bank at Bourne mouth opened twice a week until forced by the com petition when this bank commenced business there to open daily. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. - THE " EXAMINER" ON THE PANIc IN THE MONEY MAIZICEr.—Ttie stoppage, on Thursday, of the great City discounting bank, Overend, Gurney, and Co., established 60 years since, aggravates enormously the panic in the money market that was already serious enough to cause such a house to fall. Only list August half a million was paid for the goodwill of its business, and it passed to a company in which shares-w ere at such a premium as indicated the opinion that a million and a half would not have been too much purchase money. The depreciation caused by a continued selling of its shares, during the recent panic, with the knowledge of its losses from the frauds of Pinto, Perez, and, Co., and a (growing distrust of almost all kinds of investment, arc said to have caused the fatal defection of de positors. .11re are told that tinder its later mana,gement the form of business at the bank was modified. Less restricted to the safe and quick employment and return of money in the dis counting of merchants' bills, it locked up so much money in investments giving no immediate return, that it had not enough within call to meet any great emergency of panic. The Bank of England was applied to and refused to intervene as a protector. If Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited) had been able to show that its investments of the money of its customers, though not admitting quick returns, were safe, if it had been able to show that time, not prudence, was the one thing wanting to maintain its solvency, we cannot believe that the Bank of England would have refused its support. The ex ' tinction of a great centre of commerce like the endangered Banking Company would lead to many serious disasters, and if there had not been some thing unsound in the case on which it founded its request for help, it is not in reason that—in face of the far-reaching calamity of such a stoppage— means of averting it should have been refused. The Bank of England must have had reason to know that it was not to b 6 Averted honestly ; stoppage, therefore, was inevitable, with ten million of lia bilities and assets hereafter to be; estimated. Such a stoppage at a crisis like the present is; calamity of which nobody yet can see the end. The iOne diate consequences in wide-spread loss and ruin are most serious, but the shaking of con fid ence now causes simultaneous runs upon solvent and insolvent firms and companies, giving a shock that even the solvent may not be able in all cases to sustain. It is not many weeks since Barned's Bank, at Liver pool, which stood well in the market, and had also been sold to a company, broke down, disclosing a substructure of actual dishonesty. The funds had been for some months seriously depressed, the newly opened prospect of a European war had given real cause for alarm, affairs of the money market seemed to be at the worst, when this great failure occurred, and gave for a tune a knockdown blow to the already staggering confidence of investors. The suspension of Overend, Gurney, and Co. was succeeded yesterday by the " temporary sus pension " of the newly - established English Joint Stock Bank, which was founded in 1864, and bought, within this year, the old established private bank of Oldi ng an d Co. The English Joint-stock Bank, which has thirty branches in the country, closed its doors betimes, declining to stand the test of the very severe run to which seven or eight other banks were yesterday subjected. It is of no use to dwell upon the fatal effects of that pam g ,m e ah n s os e c en r hng a g l et ruts, r u is, s t. H f td pani is c preciselyg tv which hse atncreates e word ti c me thekh, given is ts t e i h n ni j. sotl fromott joltitsing t i the man who has used proper care for safe invest ment of his money should stick to the position he has once deliberately taken. Rash and speculative investments are now in great peril, but firms and companies of character thus far unblemished, are entitled, in a day like the present, to a double trust. It is every man's interest to hold on by them and keep them from upsetting. The safest boat may be capsized by the very people she is carrying, and well able to carry, safe to harbour, if, in panic among theinselves, they recklessly derange her balance. The strong demand for discount at the Bank of England caused the rise of its rate yester day from Bto 9 per cent. within the week. But even before the aggravation of the panic it has been a question whether yesterday's rise was not fairly to be expected. THE "SATURDAY REVIEW" ON THE REFORM BILLS IN COMMITTEE.—The course suggestedt measures is Bouverie with regard to the Govertiili:rabiyillbsechonpl:4l is undoubtedly the best, and the two fused together in Committteoef. time will be found that no very great amount that some of borough e necessar yß eli fortr Redistribution the utio d n i s cunisir Allof t . l t l h e a s t ec i o s n i t r ro e l a l (! e i d n , g away th and given to groups of seats in tics and to new large constituen tstiiiiolgulidtsbgeetnaekreaul principle, is boroughs, to conn , c i es . In this bill the details are everything, and the details can be disc ussed in Committe e. tis very impor t an t that men o f all parties sh ou ld go into Committee with a desire to pass a Reform Bill if pos sible ; and it is also very desirable that the Con servatives should be aware th a t th ey will ineur most serious responsibility if they offer the bill that kind of opposition which is not based on a definite maintenance of adverse principles, but merely seeks to triumph by superior obstinacy and the arts d e l a y. But we do not see that either danger is probable. The general desire of the country for a settlement of the Reform question makes it cert a i n th a t th e house will share ana reflect that desire ; and the • Conservatives, whatever may be their 'faulti.' tbilre a large. amount of political prudence, and wilel,take care not to put themselves in such il , pciiii:ikgrlLsl , o be obliged either to accept office withlntr.a chankee of holding it on an honourable and satisfactowfooting, u i c t w or else to su b m i t to having any measure orneroin ' passed that a Lib era l Mi nistry will sanction as thep re o h f en its the Conservatives consenting t invited th e Government.to lay aside all their weapons, and to concur al • bland y peace fully in passing a measure common to both sides, they are asked what is neither possible nor desirable that they should grant. There may be compromises on many details, but the leading provisions of the general scheme must be decided by one side being stronger than the other. The Conservatives may succeed in gettin ,, a member or two more given to groups of boroughs or to counties, or iu excludinr► borough leaseholders and freeholders from voting fo'r counties. They may probably decide whether the seven seats allotted to Scotland shall be given to Scot land or kept for England. But when the question arises whether the county franchise shall be reduced to £l4 or to £2O, there is nothing to be done but to divide the House, and to see which reduction finds the stronger support. The Conservatives ought not to offer a factious or dilatory opposition, but their position as a party would have no meaning or substance if, on a main question which largely • affects the landed interest, they do not resolutely maintain what they think to be best for the country. When they are merely doing this, they ought not to be exposed to the cry that they are wantonly stop ping Reform, and frustrating the wishes of the country. We can ask the Opposition to behave reasonably, but we cannot ask it, to cease to exist ; and it would cease to have a political existence if, on the points which touch it closely, it did net speak and act with all the strength in its power. That an Opposition must be conquered in debate and division is one of the elementary facts of our Par liamentary system, and we do not get rid of th e difficulties it may cause at any particular time by pretending that a fanciful millennium has b egun, and ordering that, in deference to public opinion, lions and lambs shall lie down together for At.least three months. tillimExl\ciAeNxicaEn3ll3l?-which THE " ANGLO-AMERICAN TIMES" ON THE questionoGL 0.- is F or li t k h e e l y eas t e o -lerfth be the Emperor Napoleon has to thank the con summate tact of r M S for , eward, rather than that of his Mi n i ster Foreign Affairs, or even his own wonderful ability. He had rendered the question most difficult of solution, from the manner in whi c h h e treated the reclamations of Mr. Seward, at a time w h en he felt over confident th a t the American Government would never back its opinions with th e requisite amount be able to sical force to insure the resp ec t o f the ruler of f f phy forty millions Of Frenchmen. His position was on which it was extremely difficult to ret reat, and most in dangerous to remain. There was no mo re mistak ing the will or the power of the American people. They had fully determined that the French occupa tion of Mexico should cease ; yet he could almost, if not quite, as well afford to withdraw at the end of an unsuccessful war, as to lower his prestige with the people of France, and with foreign nations, by timely submitting to the dictation of a young Republic, for which he had a short time before shown something approaching contempt. Under these circumstances, knowing full well that it was impossible for him to stay in Mexico, if the Ameri can Government—supported, as it was sure to be, by the unanimous sentiment of the whole people— willed it otherwise, he proposed to withdraw, if the United States would re cognise Maximilian, and thus give a pledge of non-interference, with a regime which Napoleon 111. was bound to sustain. This proposition was most positively declined. M. Drouyn de l'lluys protested that Maximilian's throne was founded ou the will of the people of Mexico. Mr. Seward, in the course of several despatches, evidently written so as to give the Emperor the greatest possible amount of time, replied in effect :—" We cannot see it in that fight. We can never recognise a Mexican Empire, founded, as we believe, on for; eign bayonets. ' But if you say truly that Maxi milian is supported by the well-disposed of the Mexican people—if you say truly that the coun try is only disturbed by a fsnv Laudits and gue• villas, and that the republic of Mexico is now only a myth—it is evident that your mission in Mexico is fulfilled. It is now time for you to withdraw. You have no need to be deterred from doin g so from any fear that we shall interven e . The Republicans of Mexico have given you so much trouble that we have no fear of the result when they come to deal with Maximilian alone. You say that but for the fear of our intervention your object is substantially accomplished. With, draw, then, and count us your friends—or remain, - and disturb the relations of amity which have formerly subsisted between us." The arguments of Mr. Seward were unanswerable. his language was ascourteous as was possible without concession ; it was as decided as Was compatible with freedom from menace. With danger so clearly indicated ahead and the path of peace made as easy as possible, the Emperor wisely decided to withdraw. But the troubles of Mexico and the cares of M r. Seward were not yet ended. European nations are not altogether ignorant of international law, but they have a conveni en t h a bi t of forgetting i deal ing with Go vernments so situated as no t, when t to be able to enforce respect. Belgium vas notat the Republic of M ex i co. But she had war with broken international obli ga ti ons b y giving her officious en couragement for her pe o pl e t o aie Maximilian crushing iu the Republic. A us t r i a has lately com menced to do likewise, und er precisely similar circumstances. Mr. Seward very properly deals first with the most powerful delinquent. Austria is clearly informed that the contemplated breach of neutrality will be considered by the United States as a hostile act against a Republic in whose welfare the people of the United States take the deepest interest. She is also given to understand that the American Government cannot remain an idle spectator of a conflict so under-handed, so un equal, and so utterly unprovoked. We trust that this plain intimation to the Austrian Government will be sufficient to induce the Raiser to revoke his unwarrantable concession to his filibustering relative ; and we also hope that wise little Belgium will profit by the example of her betters. W e consider the success of Mr. Seward's diplomacy az i.--tdy . assured. All Americans will join us in admiratit;' of his skill and tact, as also the energy and perseveran‘2.7 with which he has prosecuted his good work in behai: of an oppressed Republic, at a time when the other duties of his high office 1 might well tax the vigour of . at 3 )9 nger_ . statesman, and the ability of the greatest of ;his compeers. MIDDLE-CLASS EDUCATION.--A very important step has just been taken in the county of Bedford for the purpose of providing an institution upon a large scale for the education of the sons of farmers and others of the middle class. It is proposed to have a large collegiate building erected within a short distant% of Bedford. The institution will be established upon the lofted liability principle, the capital being raised by shares; and in order that there may be no difficulty or delay in raising the re quisite capital, several of the principal landed proprietors and leading commercial men have given guarantees for liberal subscriptions to the share list, and many of the far mers. are taking up the question in an equally liberal spirl a t i The first step is a most successful one, as it was stated at a gi m ut e r e an tin te g ed he a l m d o o u n n S t a to turd a a l y ar t g h e a r t a th u e m subecripti a o e n tually re,_ than n 's tills material quired.
