The Proprietors of this Dentifrice pledge themselves that its effi cacy in preserving and embellishing the TEETH, far surpasses any thing of the kind ever yet offered to the public, and has, in conse quence, obtained its selection by her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and Royal Family ofGreatßritain,"and the Sovereigns and Nobility throughout Europe.—Price 2s. 9d. per box.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, April 17. LANDED PROPERTY (IRELAND). Mr. SADLEIR (in continuation from our Third Edi tion) said—Those serious restrictions imposed by the Court of Chancery on the transfer of property could have no other effect than that of retarding agriculture, aced keeping Irish society in its present miserable condi tion. The Hon. Gentleman then adverted to the opinions of an eminent member of the Irish bar, who, he believed, was a member of the English bar also, on the subject, pointing out the difficulties and obstacles in the system in operation in the Court of Chancery in Ireland, and suggesting a mode by which its machinery might be modified and the sale of encumbered estates facilitated and rendered far less expensive. He also threw out some suggestions respecting the redemption of encum bered estates; and recommended the appointment of a local board of commissioners, whose duty it should be to ascertain precisely the nature and character of titles, and who should have a power to confer upon purchasers a pure and Parliamentary title in the estates which they might purchase.—(Flear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman then directed the attention of the House to the system of tenant tenure in Ireland. The Right lion. Baronet the Secretary for Ireland had brought in a Bill on that subject last session, which he was sorry he had not per severed in, and which he hoped to see the Right Hun. Baronet introduce again. Sir WILLIAM SOMERVILLE—It has been intro duced this session, in the House of Lords. Mr. SADLEIR would have been better pleased bad it been first introduced into the House of Commons, as they could deal with it in a less embarrassed manner. He had look( d into the system of tenant tenure in many other countries, and saw great advantages attend ing it in those countries ; but in Ireland how different was the case. There, they had their " leases of lives renewable for ever," and in their operation they were calculated to discourage industry, and productive of the worst effects in every point of view. They were gene rally renewable upon the payment of half a year's rent to the landlord, or on the payment of a " peppercorn," or sometimes a -en the presentation of a pair of roast foWls.—(Laughter.) But that was not all ; the condi tion sometimes was that " the tenant should deliver to the landlord, on each life, as much parliamentary whisky as would make 172 glasses of strong whisky punch."— (Great laughter.) There was another system of abuse in operation with respect to tenant tenure in Ireland — that practised in relation to the collegiate lands in that country. The Provost and Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin, had an immense mass of land in Ireland, and their practice was, even in the present year, to grant such a system of tenure as oneeuraged " middlemen," —a system most pernicious, and which would nut be tolerated in this country. It was the duty of the present Government to adopt measures to discourage and put an end to a system fraught with such evils to society. The tenants should have their lands at a fair rent, and the system of "atiddlemen " should be put an end to.—(Hear, hear.) There were many leaded pro prietors in Ireland who had too much land. The Mar quis of Lansdowne was one of those who had too much land in that country. No property, he must say, could be better managed than the estates of the Marquis of Lansdowne in the counties of Kerry and Meath, and than the Noble Marquis there was not a more humane or a more liberal landlord in Ireland; yet he took the liberty of saying that, for the Noble Marquis's own sake, and for the sake of the tenants, it would be well if he were not in possession of so much land in Ireland. —(lleer, hear.) He felt assured that much good could now be done by the Government if they would only show that they have a will equal to their power, by making Ireland's exigencies their best opportunity; nor did he see how any party could oppose any mea sures calculated to relieve the landed condition of the country, particularly as far as the Court of Chan cery made the transfer of property.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Sadleir) could not anticipate any opposition from any party to such plain and practical measures as be then called on the House to assist him in carrying through, and assured the Government, notwithstanding their misgivings, that incalculable benefit would result from them. He knew that it had been often said, both in the House and out of it, that the small tenants must become labourers; but he would ask where in that coun try was there a market for labour? or, where were those labourers to obtain a return for their capital— namely, their labour? Echo answers, where? Again, he thought it idle and useless to make cross-channel comparisons about the taxation of this country being high, while that of Ireland was very low.—(Hear, hear.) He could not refrain from expressing his as tonishment that the Noble Lord (Lord John Russell) should make such invidious comparisons, as that the people of this country paid 12,000,000/. per annum, from which the people of Ireland were totally exempt. He hoped that such comparisons would be no longer made, for he felt assured that it was the desire of all persons that the two countries should be assimilated as much as possible. He had before adverted to the beneficial results that would emanate from the invest ment of the surplus money in the Bank of England in the mortgaged estates of Ireland,. for such would greatly tend to facilitate the transfer of property in the Court of 'Chancery. He, therefore, called the attention of the House to appoint a Select Committee to inquire into the best mode of facilitating the transfer of property in Ireland. Mr. J. O'CONNELL seconded the motion. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, that although he admitted that there were many evils attending the Court of Chancery, yet he should say that they were not con fined to Ireland, and he was happy to state that there was a great step already taken to reform those evils in both countries. He begged to remark to the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Sadleir) that when he spoke of the sale of estates in Ireland, that he did not then attack the Court of Chancery; but the titles by which the lands are held, and which are not marketable, and these titles, he thought should be re reformed together with the judicial procedure of the Court. With respect to the Encumbered Estates Bill he should say that Government had devoted their most anxious attention to all the points adverted to by the lion. Gentleman (Mr. Sadleir). He was also happy to state that a great change had taken place in the opinion of the House and of the public with regard to the Court of Chancery in England, and that Ireland would , also reap the benefit of that change in a short time, through the Encumbered Estates Bill, which, together with other additional measures, would confer the greatest benefits and blessings on that country. With respect to the poor-law, he should say that there was an in creased facility through it to remove persons from their tenements, when not able to pay their rent, and to induce them to go elsewhere, where they could get support ; yet he should admit that this transition would be a painful one, but, how ever, it would be the source of . beneficial results. He assured the House that after some time great advan tages would redound from the measures of the Ministry, and that it was for that reason that he would not fur ther enter into the details of the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Sadleir). Mr. J. O'CONNELL said that he felt glad to hear from her Majesty's Government that they intended to bring in a series of measures calculated to prevent the evils attendant on the transfer of property in Ireland through the Court of Chancery; but he was sorry to say— Here an Hox. MEMBER moved that the House be counted. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw. There being only 31 Members present, the House ad ourned at Half-past Seven o'clock. —it must not be overlooked that those in a subordinate position to the veteran Leader ably seconded him in the following out of his ideas, and by the obedient cele .

F. lIOWE, lion. Sec., pro tein. ceedingly desirable that the question shotWdis posed of as speedily as possible; that it should be set at rest for many years to come—we say for many years, for we confess we place but little confidence in the doctrine of " finality," or in the possibility of permanent legislation on any subject whatever. The matter can no longer be argued on economical grounds. No reason can be adduced why that pro tection which has been withdrawn from commodities, nhould still be extended to the vessels in which those commodities are borne from port to port—why it should be denied to producers of any class, and al lowed to carriers. The same injurious consequences will result from restrictions affecting shipping that were so painfully conspicuous with respect to corn and provisions, and the happy results of the free-trade enactments may be done away with or neutralized by the stringency of the navigation code. England can never become the storehouse of the world so long as a short-sighted and impolitic mono poly is sanctioned in the carrying trade. We cannot suppose that other nations will not follow the example we set them, that they will permit our vessels to resort freely to their ports, our seamen to enter into a fair and generous competition with their own, while we maintain an exclusive system, imposing the most vexatious restrictions on their commerce. We must expect that a full measure of reciprocity will he ac corded, that our own selfish enactments will be returned with full, aye, most usurious interest. We are, therefore, conferring no real benefit on our shipowners or seamen by the maintenance of this most impolitic code; on the contrary, we are prevent ing them from entering into that general competition which we cannot help thinking would prove most NEW NOVEL BY MRS.

Although we have, un happily, reason to mourn for the loss upon this memorable occasion of five British officers killed and twenty-four wounded, together with between seven and eight hundred non-commissioned officers and privates killed, wounded, and missing —we have cause to rejoice over the circumstance that the victory thus dearly purchased has proved in every particular so overpowering as to promise the rapid and permanent settlement of the countries lately in a state of revolt—countries already, in effect, united to our gigantic dominions in Ilin dostan. Besides the total dispersion of the 60,000 insurgents, with a loss to them in killed and wounded as yet altogether impossible to estimate, our heroic army has gained possession of fifty-seven out of the fifty•nine pieces of artillery brought THEATRE ROYAL, HAYMARKET.

What have we to fear from this competition ? Is there less capital or enterprise among our shipowners —less skill and industry among our shipbuilders — less activity, courage, or hardihood among our sailors ? Are Englishmen so inferior that they must succumb to every rival, and shrink from the contest whenever they may be compelled to enter into it on equal terms, when deprived of the 'vantage ground afforded by Legislative enactments in their favour ? We do not think so humbly of our countrymen—we do not shudder at the gloomy vaticinations that have been uttered by the supporters of the present system—at the prophetic forewarnings of impending ruin, of decaying ports, and of abandoned dockyards. Our shipping interests have not, in fact, been very prosperous under the Navigation Laws. Relying on the principle of protection, they have not endeavoured to command that success which they vainly supposed was insured to them by the exclusion of all rivalry. Many glaring defects unquestionably exist that must be remedied, when a " clear stage and no favour" is all that can be hoped for. Masters and mates of vessels must be duly qualified for the important duties they are willing to undertake—greater activity must be perceptible on every side—the business must not be performed in a slovenly or careless manner—the sailors must not exhibit a mutinous or disobedient spirit, or abandon themselves to drunkenness or dissi pation in their leisure moments. Do not let it be supposed that we assert this to be the case with all our masters, mates, or seamen. Happily we have many, very many good men, brave skilful, intelligent, and temperate, in every class, and such men will be prosperous under every equit able regulation ; but where fair emulation is allowed, the tone and character of the entire body will be materially elevated and improved. Good-for-no thing and worthless men will not be accepted, when there are abundant materials from which to select the TREATER ROYAL.

To conclude with a new grand Extrayaganza, entitled NOURBD DIN AND IHE FAIR PERSIAN. to bear against our troops at the commence. ment of the battle by the forces under the RAJA and the SIRDAR. The trophies of Gooj rat, as enumerated by the Commander-in-Chief him• self, are no less than these numerous guns, hitherto the principal strength of the enemy, " his camp, his baggage, his magazines, and vast stores of ammuni tion !" As a terrible reprisal for the events of Ram nuggur and Chillianwallah, there appears to have been on the side of the conquerors no quarter, no mercy, no merely partial efforts of any kind whatever. Every thing was done bravely, earnestly, and determinedly— by cavalry, by infantry, and by artillery—by officers, by non-commissioned officers, and by privates—by the native troops, as well as by the European soldiers. An examination of the important documents pub lished by ourselves elsewhere will thoroughly unfold the character of the operations of the great pitched battle at Goojrat, from the moment when the Seikh guns first opened their fire across the nulhs, until the last brilliant movement by which those nullas were cleared, the batteries carried, the camp captured, the villages stormed, and the enemy routed in every direction. It will, likewise, be perceived from those dispatches, how terrific was the vengeance of the English horsemen who pursued the fugitives, without drawing bridle, to a dis tance of twelve miles beyond the outskirts of the field of battle, strewing the ground with the bodies of the dead and wounded, and returning to the camp by ten o'clock at night, after being no less than fifteen hours in the saddle. Beyond what we have already recounted, it will like wise be observed that no exertion was spared to improve the fruits of the victory, by dispatching that distinguished soldier Sir WALTER GILBERT in pursuit of the flying ranks of the Seilchs and Affghans, with a force which was to be gradually augmented to sixteen thousand men flushed with success, and inflamed with ani mosity. By the latest information we learn that these veterans had crossed the Jhelum, a river re nowned in ancient history as the Hydaspes—that they had traversed the Bukreealah pass without an encounter—and that, on the 3d of March, they had taken possession of the strong fortress of Rhotras. Everything indicates the immediate termination of a campaign so inauspiciously commenced but so glo riously consummated. Everything augurs that the command of Lord Gouts closes not only with the victory of Goojrat but with the annexation of the Punjaub and Affghanistan to our other territories in Hindostan; and that the command of Sir CIIARLES NAPIER will begin at a period the best calculated to forward that great Captain's projects for the more perfect organization of the British Indian army. To hesitate for one moment as to what should be the re sult of the campaign of which Goojrat is the most brilliant achievement, would F e insanity. That the line of the northern frontier can be safely marked out at the Indus is as impossible as that our frontier can be continued without danger of a perpetual renewal of hostilities at the Sutlej. Even the vast and fruitful province of the Punjaub would be insufficient to preserve us from the perfidy of the Dooranee barbarians. The line of demarcation must stretch upwards to the skirts of Caubul, to the base of the Indian Caucasus. Other wise, Peace will be only another name for Truce, and a treaty of amity will continue to be nothing better than a specious and rather dubious pledge of an , ar mistice. After what has transpired the Punjaub will not be sufficient—we must have Affghanistan. 4 NATIONAL PROVINCIAL BANK OF ENGLAND. 112, EISHOPSGATE -STREET. London, April 11, 1549.

At about four o'clock this afternoon the sky became suddenly overcast, and we had a heavy fall of snow• At first it came down in small flakes, with the rapidity of a whirlwind, sharp and intensely cold; in about a quarter of an hour the flakes increased in size and density, presenting all the appearance of a regular snow storm. The streets and houses were soon covered with snow. Along the Strand it was rather amusing to see the numerous omnibuses meeting each other all arrayed in white, the drivers seeming evidently proud of their new and unexpected livery. The horses, too, trotted as if there was something smart in the wind, for the snow was swimming in full and rapid glory all above and around them. It was indeed a novel and sudden change both to man an 3 beast. In the course of the afternoon the sky cleared up, and thi tail of the winter season bids fair to usher in fine and genial weather. The thermometer went down to 28. The barometer showed no change. A gentleman, who left Cambridge in the afternoon, informs us that it snowed during the whole of hit journey to London. crews.

The Navigation Bill, as amended, is to be con sidered in Committee to-morrow evening, and it is hoped that the third reading may be taken on Monday, and that it may then be disposed of, so fur, at least, as the representative branch of the Legisla ture is concerned. We can scarcely supppose that the Lords will consider it fitting to reject or mutilate a measure so intimately connected with the trade and commerce of the country,. and attempt to maintain a maritime code based upon the obsolete principles of monopoly and protection, and opposed to the general tenor of all modern legislation. Their Lordships have little personal connexion with shipping or ship owners—they have no private interests at stake. There is, therefore, no analogy between the present measure and that for the repeal of the corn-laws, on which occasion a serious collision between " the Houses" might reasonably have been anticipated. The danger was, however, happily averted. The supreme will of the nation—testified by a large and decisive majority of the popular representatives—was fully recognised, and the House o f Peers evinced a wise and prudent discretion, in avoiding a contact which under any circumstances must have proved deeply injurious to the community at large. We trust that a similar discretion may be exercised in the present instance — that no ' differences may arise between those great assemblies to disturb the harmony that should ever exist between them, a harmony which is of such vital importance to the nation. It is obviously the interest of all parties that the question should be se ttled withooreu injuriousany unnecessary delay. Nothing can be m to any interest whatsoever than any doubt as to the laws by which it is to be regulated. Bad laws am better than uncertain laws, which paralyze a ctivity and c heck e nterprise.

It was reported at the Vienna Hearse on-the 1 - Ith, that the Austrians had been successful at Waitzen, and the Funds rose 1 per cent., but on the litth inst. the Magyars were stated to have triumphed, and the consequence was a reaction of 2 per cent. In bills of exchange there was not generally much doing, but drafts on Genoa were higher and in demand. Bank Shares had been done at 1,130. Money was rather dear, The most important arrival to day is from the East In dies, and the political accounts have excited a very favour able impression. A careful consideration of the mer cantile letters induces us to give the opinion that they also are, upon the whole, satisfactory. It is true that at Calcutta the imports of Manchester fabrics had been rather heavy, and that in consequence prices de clined, holders not being disposed to keep back supplies, which, if they did, would, it was expected, bring about a rally. Glasgow manufactures were in a better position, and at Bom bay, although the holidays had interfered with business, • there was a large and satisfactory trade doing in piece goods. For exports there was at both the Presidencies a good in quiry, and freights had an upward tendency. So far this is rather against the European importer, because the prices of most 'staples rule very low here, but we must remember that the Indians will purchase our manufactures in proportion as they get remunerating prices for their pro ducts. At Calcutta the rate of exchange was rather tend ing upwards, but at Bombay there was a decline. This seems the natural effect of the imports being larger at one place than the other. Accounts from Ceylon, dated the 15th March, state "The past four weeks have been a period of anxiety to moat of our planting friends, especially to these whose properties are placed at a low elevation. Until within the last few days not a shower had fallen in the central Province since the middle of November, and to those who are acquainted with the effects of a crop apon the coffee bush, and a drought of this duration following , it is hardl y necessary for us to address any explanation. That nearly aU estates will be considerably thrown back by the protracted dry season, and very many stiffer greatly in the quality and quantity of the next crop, few amongst us will, we believe, be prepared to deny. As regards operations upon coffee estates, these have been confined mostly to weeding and removing the last remains of the crops of 1848. The sound of the axe is now unheard, - and piling and burning are rapidly becoming obsolete terms. 'Ecoraemy is the order of the day, and although the advices of the Horne Markets brought us by the last mail did much towards dispelling the previous gloom, the Wand is still tar from being in a sound position, and anxiety continues to be felt on all hands. That most shippers are greatly in advance of their operations as competed with last "year, we think few will qiestion, we know many who have already nearly got rid of their crops for the season, and on the whole we cannot believe that their are yet to be shipped 102,000 cwts. which there should be to bring up the exports of this quality to those of 1847-8. All our letters of the last few days speak encouragingly of the change effected by the recent falls of rain throughout the Central Province. They have coins most opportunely—another fortnight of drought would have ruined some thousands of acres ce coffee which will now be just saved. From China we bear of trade being rather dull, owing to the doubt about the opening of the Canton gates. The Corn Market in Mark• lane is firm this morning, the arrivals of foreign being fair. There is an absence of country buyers. There is a flatness pervading still the English Stock Market, although the favourable Indian news caused the market to open well at 92 for Consols fur Money, and 92 to IA; for Time. Since there have been sales at 91% 3 for Transfer. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 91 1 A %. Bank Stock has been marked 193% to 194.

Spanish Five per Cent. Stock is 17 to %, and the Three per Cent. 32 1 4 to %. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 29. Mexican have realised 28 without the Coupons. Grenada are 18 , 4. Messrs. Baring, the agents, have announced a dividend on the latter. Dutch Two and• a-Half per Cents. are no minally 49% to 50 5 . The Railway Share Market is without any important alto ration, but rather in favour of buyers. Eastern Counties are very depressed. The dividend will be 2s. 6d. to 2s. 9d., not yet decided which, we believe; and would have been more, but for the necessity of laying aside part of the earnings, in order to meet charges that should have been made upon the revenue of former quarters. Great economy will be necessary to bring the line into a s ound posi tion ; and a satisfactory dividend cannot be ex pected for some time, although the borrowing powers of the company will probably, be brought into operation to clear off some engagements which cannot fairly be charged at once upon the income. The great error has been in increasing the dividends formerly, but the line may be im proved. As a whole the report will read badly, we are told, but gives hopes of the future. _ ONE CLOSING rvicEs OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCL. FRICLS. Bank Stock 193% 194 194 3 per Cent.

Since the morning at Plessey, when 60,000 men under the Nabob SURAJAH DowLAU were routed, with the loss of all their baggage and ammunition, no more decisive battle has been fought between the Asiatic: and Europeans. At Goojrat a larger number of antagonists fled before our victorious soldiers than on the occasion to which we have alluded--for the insurgents under the combined direction of RAIL SINGH, and his father SIRDAR, CIICTILTE, SINGH, amounted to 60,000 men, exclusive of the auxiliaries from Affghanistan, commanded by Maw& KHAN, the son of the Ameer DOST MA nommED. Over these formidable enemies, the grand army, which had already measured swords with them in the disastrous skirmishes at Ramnuggur, and in the sanguinary engagement at Chillianwallab, ob tained one of the most extraordinary successes re counted even in the annals of our military achievements in Hindostan. All recollection of the dubious and even sinister commencement of the campaign has been obliterated by this complete and overwhelming advantage. The reverses of our brave Sepoys and of one of our most cele brated cavalry regiments have been forgotten in the glory of their recent proceedings and in those evi dences of stubborn valour and unflinching resolution which materially aided in the overthrow and dis persion of their assailants. His Excellency the Right Honourable the Commander-in-Chief retires trom his splendid but awful responsibilities in the ;illness of that renown which he has nobly earned with the keenness of his heroic sword and with his ripened abilities as a military tactitian. The premature condemnation pronounced against him as a Captain —a condemnation in which it may not be forgotten that we refrained from participating—has been rnagni • ficently falsified : insomuch that the remembrance of the famous days of Sobraon and Ferozepore assumes a secondary interest to the triumphant catastrophe of Goojrat. While, however, the achievement of the 21st of February is virtually a crown of laurels to Lord GouGn, while the credit of that decisive victory is in the very first instance attributable to the scientific precision and the skilful contrivance of his arrangements RAILWAY SHAKE MARKETS, BRISTOL, Aran, 17.
