A soft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually waste away, and the Teeth then become loose, and drop out whole from their sockets, and it is well known he loss of 'Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the followinr observations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accurnts tion are con4lereA, it would appear impossible that any per suasion could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great a nuisance even on their own account : or if they are too de based to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ .ng a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the senses of others, who possess more delicacy and propriety of feeling than themselves. Yet, so it is ; and the sight and the smell are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some people, who seem to obtrude their faces the closer in proportion o the disgust which they occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p. 199. Could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth and gums, or for a moment catch the odour of their own breath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To professional men, shop-keepers, and tradesmen generally, who have much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world, a good state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance ! Besides, is not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out of twenty proceeds from the had state of the teeth and gums, very much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony? And how often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness of the 'marriage state most grievously interupted by the same cause The inconveniencies attending the Loss of Teeth are too well known to require comment. but to those who have not ex perienced the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray is desirous of showing some of the difficulties more or less en • Jured by every individual without them. When the Teeth are lost, it is impossible to make use of solid fond; and if the stomach is then loaded with pieces without be'ng masticated, the patient is exposed to the most distressing inAigestions, the stomach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak le proportion as it no longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth ore gone, a great vacuum is left in the mouth, which occasions every muscle in the face to be distorted, and the whole features are completely drawn from their original position. To insist on the importance of the teeth, whether in reg'rd to the functions of digestion and articulation, to which they are so essential, or to personal appearance, in which they are so much conoerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not obvious that there are many persons who never give themselves the trouble to think upon the subject ; who seem scarcely aware that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and cul pable negligence renders tha fact too apparent to their friends ..sid associates. _ _ . Mastification is the first process of digestion, and unless it be duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on properly. So essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it is sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner vous debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rou.:11 and tinged of a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips their vermillion hue, and, in a word, it is no uncommon thing for the whole body to receive such a shock as to cause re laxation of the whole system, which produces an irritable temper, quite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby we become an annoyance to our friends, and a burthen to ourselves.' But I need not dwell upon the num berless concomitant evils which may thus owe their origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to know that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be found to be many years in advance of any system now in Eu rope, and that artificial teeth a, e brought to such perfection, at the Establishment, No. 60, Newman-street, Oxford •street, as to perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to the natural teeth, and may be used with every comfort. They are so arranged as to restore the face to its former youthful cast, correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doirg away with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires. As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever stan.. pre-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of om plexion, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can vender that lady beautiful, who when she opens her lips (though they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or discoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and a sallow complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a good set of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass unnoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even. On the other hand the effects of decay, the accumulation of tartar, the blackened and denuded fangs, and the taint of the breath, which is a common concomitant of bad teeth, will invariably prove disgusting and loathsome. Regular teeth, white, and free from all extraneous matter, ire an ornament equally attractive in either sex. These per sons who do not possess this natural advantage, should en deavour, by extreme care and cleanliness, and a timely resort to artificial aid, to remedy the imperfections, and supply the deficiencies of nature, in order that their teeth, if not an agree able object, may be prevented, as far as possible, from becoming a repulsive one. Monsieur LE DRAY, Surgeon-Dentist, 60, Newman-street, Oxford-street, respectfully acquaints the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and the inhabitants of London and its vicinity, that lie continues to restore Decayed Teeth with his celebrated Mine ral Marmoratum, so universally recommended by the Faculty o (England, France, and throughout the Continent, which substance be is sole inventor and possessor of. The ope ration is performed without the least pain ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds nardens into enamel, preventing and curing the Tooth Ache, arresting all further progress of decay, allaying in one minute the most excruciating pain, and rendering the operation of ex traction unnecessary. He also fastens loose Teeth, particularly of aged persons, whether arising from neglect, the use of calo mel, discas of the gums, or any other cause. ARTIFICIAL or NATURAL TEETH of surpassing beauty, to match equal in colour and shape thost, left in the moutk, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots ur giving any pain ; and they are so exactly formed to nature, that the cosest observer cannot detect the difference, with this advantage, that they never change colour, decay, or wear out, at the following Paris charges:— A single Artificial Tooth A Set A complete Set A complete Set of Natural Teeth, beautifully mounted in artificial gums, or fine gold, the same as charged Thirty Guineas ... l5 15 0 An entire Set of Monsieur Le Dray's beautiful Mi tn,eirir:atglienTdgeu on e i t s h ha , highly finished, in the first style, the . sa_me as charged Forty Pounds ... ........

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his Seat, On the wool sa,:k at Five o'Goek. MESSAGE FROM HER MAJESTY. LORD CHANCELLOR brought down a tries,lge trum her Majesty, stating the sense she entcr tAinel ut the s,:rvices reudered by John 1,,, r d Beane in and requesting the Howe to (nable her to tnak,.!- provit:ion fur the said Jahn Lord Keane and his two neNt heirs. Visentnt MELBOURNE gave notice that to-nior row be stiould wove that her Mrijcsty's Gracious Mes sage be taken into consideration. ItEDESDALE presented a petition from prayiog for a better observance of the Lords'- day. COP HOLD COMMUTATION AND EN FRANCHISEMENT BILL. Lord REDESDALE moved the second reading of the Co;)yhold Commutation and Enfranchisement Bail, which he ;bought possssed sortie advantages over thy Bill brought in by the Noble and Lammed Lard (Brougham) on the same subject. He (Lard Rodesdale) proposed to preserve the Manor Courts, and he also proposed that instead of a fine the copyholder should pay a small rent, which would be much more convenient to the small copyholder. lie llkewise proposed some alteration with regard to mine ral property ; and another distinguishing feature of his WAS, that it was not compulsory ; he required, lii!itead of the consent of two-thirds of those interested only, the In land entire consent of all parties. Lord BROUGHAM felt certain that the Noble Lord's having un , ertaken the?subject could not but he advantageous. There was not so much difference be tween the two plans as migat be at first supposed. His (Lord Brougham') plan went one step further, but he was ready to admit that the Noble Lord's plan was a great improvement upon the present state of the law. Fur himself he was disposed to go further than the Noble Lord to take that one step. The great difference was that the one measure was compulsory and the other was not. Tne Bill was then read a second time. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from tl.e Earl of Cardigan, praying that S.r W. Follett, Mr. S,rgeant Wrangham, and Mr. Adolphus, might be appointed as his counsel, and M2ssrs. Rodinch, and Wilde, as his Solicitors. Hi 14 , ;rdship then brought up a report from the Com twttec for conducting the trial, sating that it was not ht-r Majesty's intention to be present at the said trial— that it was the opinion of the Committee that the Earl of Cat digan should sit on a stool at the bar uncovered and without his robes during the trial, and that four tickets of admission be given for his pro fessional miv]scrs, and that the clerk of the Court of Qa,,n'i Bench, or his D p sty, be desired to attend to the clerk of their Lordships' House. THE CASE OF MR. M.LEOD. The Earl of MO UNTGAS HEL tod raw their Lordsaips attention to the case of Mr. M‘Leod, a Bri tish subject. who had been seized by the authorities in the United States, and imprisoned on a charge of piracy, fur having assisted in destroying the steam-boat Caroline, during the late Canadian troubles ; he had been taken into custody by the American authorities, on a charge of murder and arson. He had learnt from the public papers that a correspondence had taken place between Mr. Fox, the British Minister, at Washington, and Mr. U'orsyth, the American Secretary of State, on the sub jeet and the American Government had refused to deliver him up. Most violent speeches had been 111::(10 on the subject in the American Congress, not only against the country, but attacking Mr. M'Leod himself, so that it would be impossible almost but that he should fall a victim to the prejudices excited against him. He (the Earl of Mouutcashel) had understood from Captain Drew that Mr. M'Leod was not one of the party engaged in cap t uring the Caroline, but that be was on shore at the time, in the execution of his duty. He trusted the Government would act in such a man ner as to uphold the dignity of the country ; if they did not, we should be degraded, and British subjects would be liable to all sorts of insults in the United States.—( Hear, hear.) The Caroline was engaged in an act of piracy at the time she was taken ; and, therefore, those engaged in capturing her were justified. Had any foreigners taken a British vessel engaged as the Caroline had been, and had they destroyed the ship, and hang-ad the are::, the British Government would never have thought of interfering. General Jackson of Florida had hanged two British subjects for interfering in the Indian war, and this country had not interEred to protect them, as they were engaged in a unlawful act, but the United States seemed to have one law for themselves and another for other nations. He wished to ask the Noble Lord if her Majesty's Govern ment bad received any information of the arrest of a British subject named M'Leod, by the authorities of the State of New York, on a charge of murder and arson, for being concerned in the capture of the steamer Caroline, and what steps had been taken by the Government in consequence. Viscount MELBOURNE would answer the ques tion of the Noble Earl without following him in his ar gument. Her Majesty's Government had received in formation that a person named M'Leod, a British sub ject, had been arrested by the authorities of New York, on a charge of arson and murder, stated to have been committed by him on the occasion of the destruction of the steam-boat Caroline. Immediately on hearing of the charge made against this individual, Mr. Fox, our Minister at Washington, had demanded his liberation from the General Government; he had received a reply stating that the matter entirely rested with the autho ri i s of the State of New York, and that there was no power or intention of the General Government to interfere to procure his liberation ; what might be the intention of the Government under these circumstances, of course, their Lordships could not expect him to state —(Cheers)—but the N able Lord might rest assured that every measure would be taken that was necessary to secure the safety of her Majesty's subjects, and to uphold the honour of the British nation. An officer of the Court of Chancery in Ireland pre sented certain papers, and their Lordships adjourned. that they would sanction no Bill on the subject until that had been done. :.!.Ir. C. HODGES presented a petition from a place in Kent against the continuance of the Poor-law Com missioarrs. Mr. HALFORD presented a petition from 26 guardians of the parish of . Butterworth, complaining of the attendance of the Commissioner at their meetings, and pray Lig that his attendance might hereafter be disiwrised S.r F. BURDETT presented a petition from a pa ti:da in Wiltshire against the proposed amend:neat of the Poor-law Act, and that each parish might be al lowed to manage its own affairs. 7The HoN. BARONET alto gave notice that on the House going into a Committee of Supply, he would move that a statue be erected at the public expense to the memory of the late Sir Sydney Smith.—( Hear ) On the motion of Mr. E. ELLICE, jun., a return was ordered of the sums paid by the Post-office to the proprietors or le,sces of the Queensferry during the last five years. Co!oriel SIBTHORP gave notice that on Thurs day next, he would move for copies of the notes taken by the Coroner of Middlesex in certain cases relating to the Administration of the Poor-laws. LORD KEANE. Lard .1. RUSSELL brought up a Royal Message, directing the House to take into consideration the great and brilliant services performed by Lord Keane, late General of her Majsty's Army at Bombay,with a view of rewarding him for his merits, and recommending to the House of Comoro ~ o adoptsueh measures as were neces sary for the accompiisirMent of that purpose. 'rile Noble Lord proposed that the subject should be taken into consideration to-morrow, and the motion was agreed to by the House. CHAPTER.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tiut.s, which far some unaccountable reason have keen either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the c Binary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, tyhe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. Messrs.

Last night, a few minutes before twelve o'clock a light was observed by a policeman on duty in the gallery of :he above venerable structure ; and, supposing from the flick ering of the flame that it was thieves who had broken in, he it the clerk, who resides adjacent to the church, of his suspicions. The clerk lost no time in procuring the keys, and on opening the church doors it was found that the gallxy was on fire, near the organ. The flames, owing to the sudden opening of the door, spread with greater ra pidity, and communicated to the organ, belfry, and the other portions of the fabric. The clerk then secured the books with the greatest difficulty, the smoke being so dense as to nearly stifle him. The policeman raised an alarm, and roused up the inha. bitants residing near the spot. The engine was got out, but no water could be procured to work it. An express was then sent up to the different stations of the Fire Brigade Establishment for the engines belonging to them. The flames at this time burst forth from the windows of the building, and had a most beautiful ap pearance, the whole of the interior being one mass of fire. No water up to this time could be procured, and the opinion among the Isystanders arid firemen who had arrived was, that the fire must burn itself out. The church is surrounded by a yard, and has a beautiful square tower, with a peal of eight bells ; the whole of which, together with the church organ, &e., have fdlen a prey to the devouring ch meta. About two o'clock the peal of balls fell with a loud crash, which were soon after fol lowed by the roof, and nothi3g is left standing but the hare walls of this immense edifice, which was capable of holding between 1,000 and '2,000 persons. N r water could be procured, and out of six engines which had ar rived, two left, there being no appeurarce of any water. The flames continued burning furiously for some time af. ter, and at the time this account was written (half.past two) the buildin7, was burning from one end to the other. On making inquiries of the proper authorities, no account could be obtaired of the cause of this sad calamity, the clerk saying that e‘erything appeared safe when the church was closed after evening service. THE COPYRIGHT BILL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Though Mr. Sergeant Talfourd has lost his Bill, he may yet introduce another, which, as I think, will be useful both to the public and to authors. It is an Act to rend r it imperative on publishers not to allow the true date of the title-page and preface of any scientific work to be al•ered, except when alterations are made in the body of the work. Publishers should also be obliged, when a work is stet eotyped, to introduce that word, and the year in w .ich the plates were cast, in the title-page ; and they should not be permitted to alter that date till a gentr'ne new edition was produced. Tue effect of these regulations would be to prevent old works on sciences, which are undergoing almost daily charges, from being given to the public as new editions con'aining all the latest improvcmcnts, This would be a manifest advantage to the public, while the frequency of real new editions would bring some lit;:e remuneration to the author, who is now often doomed, not only to see his works passing, through several nominal editions, and in consequence selting extensively, without his deriving the slightest advantage from them, but to be blamed for errors and omissions which he has no power to correct or supply. I remain, Sir, &c. J. C. LOUDON. Bayswater, Feb. 6. FATAL ACCIDENT AT CHERBOURG.—A fatal accident occurred at Cherbourg a few days since. Sixty sailors were passing over some planks, laid from the Fried land of the line to the quay in the dockyard, when this temporary bridge turned over on its side, and all were pre cipitated into the water. Some of their comrades from the ship immediately plunged in after them, and there were about 150 men struggling in the water at one and the same time. Just at this moment the planks from above slipped from their ropes, and fell on the men in the water. On the roll being called over six n►ce were missing, and it is supposed were drowned. Three corpses had been found. From T. J. Pettigrew, Esq., Surgeon, F.R.S., to Messrs.

NEW WRIT FOR RICHMOND. ' Mr.E J. STANLEY moved for a new writ for the borough of Richmond in the room of Alexander Spiers, who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. POOR-LAWS. - _ Mr. HEATHCOTE presented a petition from Tiverton, against the existing systett! of Poor-l aws . Mr. WAKLEY presente d a petition from Samuel Roberts, of Sheffield, in the county of York, Gent., who stated that he was then near fours core years of age, and that he had during . more th an h a lf a century interested himself in promoting what he considered the real welfare of the poorer classes of society. He had been led to c ons id er t h e old Poor-law as a heavenly dispensation distingui s hi ng this country from all the o ther nations of the earth. The petitioners concluded by entreati ng t h e H ouse most earnestly to take into its consideration the present state of the law as it affected the poor. He entreated the 'Luse to pause before it passed the Bill then before them, and he begged that they would appoint a Select Cominlttee c onsisting of Members half of whom might be supposed favourable, and half un f avoura b le to the prf , ent lase, w h o might calmly and impartially con nner what 11.1 d been the operation of the existing a;:f1 who, after having investigated the subject, would make a report to the House ; and he entreated them APPREHENSION OF MR. APLEOD. Lord STANLEY rose and said—Seeing the Noble Lard the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in his place, I rise for the purpose of putting to trim a ques- Lion of which I gave notice the other evening, and that question is one of so important a nature, put at a period so critical, that I am com pelled to preface the question by such a statement of facts as I believe the rules of the House. will 1 ermit. If I go one single step beyond the rules of the House I hope the Speaker will have the kind ness to stop me. It will be in the recollection of the House that in the latter part of the year 1837, at the time when, by the gallantry of the troops both of the line and of the militia, rebellion had been put down in the province of Upper Canada, and there was not a single rebel in arms in that province, a band of men organised, partly consisting of Canadians and partly of Americans, was armed within the frontier of the United States, posessscd themselves of arms by seizing upon arsenals, the property of the United States, and, in open day, took posiession of an island lying in the Niagara river, the property of her Majesty, to which they transported, also in open day, arms, ammunition, and artillery, the property of the United States, and brought over reinforcements of men to make their position good. From that position, and with those means, they for a considerable time preyed upon the inhabitants of the Canadian frontier at not inure than 600 yards distance, and in boats passing up and down the river. This band was supplied on more than one occasion by a steamer from the American frontier, which they had chartered for the express pur pose with arms, ammunition, and reinforcements ; and on the night of the 20th of December, that steamer having been so employed throughout the day, a body of men, with the authority of her Majesty, and commanded by, or at least under the order of; Mr. M'Leod, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, who at that time commanded the militia of the pro vince, captured the American steamer lying on the American shore ; and when they had captured her, finding it impossible to carry her away, in conse quence of the rapidity of the current, they set fire to her, and suffered her to float down the stream. Sir, representations of these proceedings were imme diately made by the authorities of the State of New York to the President of the United States, and at the setae time counter statements were made on the part of the authorities of Canada, through the intervention of Mr. Fox, our Minister at the United States. In consequence of the conflicting nature of the evidence then adduced, the President, who was in commu nication with Mr. Fox, furnished him with the evidence transmitted to their Government by the United States authorities, for the purpose of being laid before her Nlejesty'e Government, w ith a demand for reparation for that which they characterised as an outrage on the neutrality of the American States. The counter-etatement from the Canades was, in like manner, made the subject of strong counter represen tations on the part of her M ejesty's Ministers, and the whole of the correspondence in the course of the months of January and February, 1838, was trans nitted to her Majesty's Government, accompanied, on the part of the United States, with the demand for reparation to which I have referred. I believe that, at one period, information was furnished at the Foreign-office respecting the transactions relating to that subject, and the Colonial Office in 1838, and at subsequent pe riods, laid before us various statements bearing upon the subject. Those public documents strongly support die views taken by the Canadian authorities. Sir, I be liave that this country generally believes that this affair is entirely settled; but on the 12th of November last, a gentleman named M'Leod, who was engaged in the ser vice of her Majesty, and who filled the situation, I think, of Sheriff of one of the Counties, but who, so far as I have been able to ascertain the circumstances, did not practically take any part whatever in the affair of the Caroline, was seized in the State of New York by the authorities there, on 1 the charge of arson, and committed to gaol. He was also charged with having been connected with the seizure of the Caroline—an act committed un der the sanction of the Canadian authorities in repelling the invasion of the Canadian territory under the imme diate command of that gentleman to whom a military force bad been, previous to that time, entrusted. Mr. M'Leod is apprehended, and is about to be tried by a Jury of the State of New York. I hope lam suiting every fact correctly, I would be extremely anxious that the Noble Lord would correct me upon any point of fact. I am abstaining from making a single comment on any pat t of these proceedings. Upon the meeting of Congress, ap plication was made to the President to lay b fore it the communications with the British Government in refe rence to this subject ; and, in doing so, the President among others laid before the Congress the strong re monstrances which Mr. Fox thought it his duty, as British Minister and representative of his Sovereign, to make against the apprehension and trial by the State of New York, of a subject of her Britannic Ma jesty for an offence—(if it were an offence)-- which had been committed under the sanction of the British authorities, and which Act was at that moment under the consideration of the two Governments, and had been for three years the subject of negotiations be tween them. The answer of the President was to refuse altogether to admit the claim of Mr. Fox in behalf of Mr. M'Leod for his liberation, principally on the ground that the Federal Government in such cases had no power to interfere with the authority of the several in dependent States, and also on the ground that if it lied the right so interfere, this would not be a case for them to exercise such authority, inas much as questions of international rights between two countries in no degree interfered with the adminis tration of justice by these several States. Mr. Fox closed the correspondence by the strongest expressions of his regret at the views which the President had taken upon the matter. He said he was not authorized to express the views of his Government, but, on his own part, he made the strongest protest in his power against these views, and without loss of time would lay the whole before her Majesty's Government for its opinion. Sir, this is the position in which the matter at present stands. A British subject was arrested in the month of November : the Assizes will take place during the present month, in February ; and at this hour (and this is my vindication for interfering, in any degree, in the matter in which communications have taken place between two great nations, and which are now in a very critical state), at this moment the life of a British subject may be in jeopardy, in consequence of his having acted in defence of his native country, and under the orders and by the authority of the military powers of this country, to whom he was compelled to give obedience in repelling invasion and rebellion. The questions I wish to put to the Noble Lord arc, inas much as this negotiation has commenced so early as Jan. 1838, I wish to ask the Noble Lord whether he has any objection to lay on the table of the House the correspondence between her Majesty's Government and the United States relative to the destruction of the schooner Caroline on the night of the 20th Dec. 1837 ? Whether the Noble Lord has received the despatches of Mr. Fox referred to in the recent aecounts from the United States dated 29th Sept., which Mr. Fox st ited he had transmitted to the Government at home rela tive (and which I presume the Noble Lord has received, he having acknowledged despatches up to the Bth. Feb.) to the apprehension of Mr. M'Leod? --Whether her Majesty's Government have taken any, and if so what, steps for the protection of Mr. McLeod ? and whether the Noble Lord will lay upon the table of the House the correspondence upon that subject, between the Go vernment at home, the British representative at Wash ington, and the representative of the United States ? Lord PALMERSTON—I must coafess the Noble Lord has adverted, with great discretion, to a s ubject of extreme interest, and which, from the gre it deer icy of its nature, involving considerations of a very PRICE 5d.. grave nature between the two countries; I am sure the House will feel should he touched upon with great reserve, either by the Noble Lord or by myself in ray answer. Now, with respect to the stetc went which the Noble Lord has made with respect to the occurrences which led to this nutter, it is strictly, as far as my memory serves me, correct. I will first answer the questions the Noble Lord has put to me, and afterwards say one word in explanation of the transaction. I think it is not expedient in the , present state of the discussion between the two Govere ments as to the seizure and destruction of the Caroline to-lay on the table that correspondence. Whenever it is brought to a close, of course there can be no objection to do so. Her Alejesty's Government having received within the last few days despatches from Mr. Fox and his correspondence with the authorities of the United States, which correspondence has been furnished to the public in the American papers, there can be no objection to lay before Parliament those papers that are already before the public.—(Laugh:er.) But this is a departure from what I consider an important rule in regard to international affairs—( Hear, hear) — and one which may operate injuriously to na tional interests, to lay before Parliament documents relating to pending discussions ; but as I have before said, some of these having been already furnished, as respects them there can be no objection. I think it p meant to make, with reference to the notice to Mr. Forsyth, one o'rservation. The Noble Lord said, he believed Mr. M`Leod was slot one of the party by whom the Caroline was attacked. My information goes precisely to the same conclusion ; but with regard to the ground - taken by Mr. Forsyth, in replying to Mr. Fox, I think it right to state, that the American Government nndoubtedly might have considered this transaction either as a transaction to be dealt with between the two Governments, by demands tor redress by one to be granted or refused by the other, and dealt with accordingly, or it might have been con sidere 1, as the British authorities consider pro ceedings between American citizens on the British side of the border, as matter to be dealt with by the local authorities. But the American Government chosc the former course by treating this matter as one to be decild between the two Governments, and this is the ground on which they are entitled to demand re dress from the British Government for the acts of its sub jects. I assure the House that on a matter of such ex treme difficulty it would be improper for me to enter into further remarks or observations, and I shall there fore content myself with answering the Noble Lord's questions by s acing the matters of fact I have just mentioned. Lord STANLEY—The Noble Lord has not an swered one question at all. One question, and one of great importance, I asked was, whether the Government has taken any, and it so, what steps for the protection and liberation of Mr. M'Leod.—(Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON, after a tow words that escaped us, said—Sr, a case somewhat similar in principle to the present was expected a year and a half or two years ago, and instructions were sent at that time to M r . Fox, on which he founded the communication he made to the American authori ties. Of course the House will suppose, I trust, that her M ijesty's Government will send—they have, in deed, sent—certain instructions ; but till we get the conclusion of the correspondence it is impossible to send final instructions. I trust the House will believe the Government will send such further instructions as they way think it to be their duty to do, but I assure the House I am not prepared now to state formally what those instructions are.—(Hear.) Mr. HUME wished to ask one yestion of the Noble Lord, but before doing se he must request the House to suspend their judgment on the case brought before them by the Noble Lord till they had before them the whole of the papers on the subject. Tile question he wished to ask was this :—lt appeared by the papers which he had in his possession, that in Jan. 1838 a motion was made in the House of Representa tives, calling upon the Government to place on the table of the House all the papers respecting the Caro line, and in consequence of that motion certain papers which had been received from Mr. Stevenson. had been I on the table of the House on the 15th of May, to. ge7her with a letter from that gentleman ; what therefore tie wished to know was what Mr. Stevenson's instructions were upon whicla he had acted as he had done ? As to the whole subict - , he hoped the House would not enter into any discussion until the whole of the documents were before it. Lord PALMERSTON ;aid—l rather think that my Hon. Friend will find in that correspondence that instructions from the American Government were given to Mr. Steven , on to abstain from pressing the subject. —(Hear.) With regard to the letter of Mr. Forsyth, I beg leave to say, that the principle stands thus : in the case of the American citizens engaged in in vading Canada, the American Government disavowed the acts of those citizens, and stated that the British authorities might deal with them as they pleased— ( Hear, bear, hear)—and that they were per. sons who were not in any degree entitled to the protection of the United States. But in the other case, they treated the affair of the Caroline as one to be considered as that of the Government, and not to be left upon the responsibility of individuals. Until, therefore, the British Government disowns those persons, as the American Government disavowed their citizens in the other case, they would have no right to change their ground upon the question.—( Hear, hear.) Sir R. PEEL wished to ask the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, whether there were not offi cers of her Majesty's army and navy engaged in the affair of the Caroline, and wounded in that service ; and further whether they had received the same pensions as they would have received if they had suffered such wounds in the service to which they regularly belonged ? Lord J. RUSSELL said that he had understood that officers of her Majesty's army and navy were em ployed on that occasion, under the orders of the Colo nial authorities, and that some of them were wounded in that service ; but he had not heard that they had re ceived any pensions. PERSIA. Sir R. PEEL then read a passage in the speech from the throne, delivered on the sth of February, 1839, in which her Majesty stated that differences which had arisen had occasioned the retirement of her Minister from the Court of Tehran, but her Majesty hoped that a satisfactory adjustment of those differences would allow of the establishment of her relations with Persia on their former footing of friendship. The Right Hon. Baronet was about to put a question to the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, respecting our relations with Persia, when Mr. O'CONNELL begged the Right Hon. Baro net's pardon for interrupting him, and hoped he would be excused by the consideration that the subject just now before the House ought not to be left as it was.— (Hear.) The life of Mr. M'Leod was at stake — (Hear, hear)—and he (Mr. O'Connell) was sorry that his Hon. Friend (Mr. Hume) had interlered—(Hear)— for he thought that it ought to be expressed in that House, that Mr. M'Leod should be saved as he acted under the command of the officers of her Ma jesty's Government, in fact under the command of her Majesty.—(Great cheering.) Whether Mr. M• Leod was right or wrong the House ought to declare that it was quite ready to assist the Governor in preserving him.—(Cheers from both sides,) Mr. S. O'BRIEN rose to speak upon the subject, when he was interrupted by The SPEAKER, who said that the Right Hon. Bart. the Member for Tamworth had risen to put a question, and was in possession of the Chair. Sir R. PEEL wished to ask the Noble Lord oppo site whether or not those differences had been satisfac torily adjusted ; and whether we had renewed our diplomatic relations with the Court of Persia? Lord PALMERSTON said that he was sorry to say those differences had not yet been finally and sa tisfactorily adjusted. The Right Hon. Baronet and the House were aware that they had made certain demands on the Persian Government for redress of cer tain wrongs for which they considered themselves entitled to reparation. Many of the complaints consisted of acts of ill-treatment of persons attached to British missions, or of British officers in Persia ; and another ground of complaint was, that Persia still maintained possession of a city ;which belonged to;the Indian territory. On the several points of individual grievances, they had received explanations and assurances which, if they did not amount altogether to a literal ful filment of the demands, yet appeared to them suchthe as that they might, without deroga tin g fromho nour of the country, say they ha d received suff icient satisfaction. It was on the territorial claims alone that there lay any differences between the two Governments. As to the missions, they would henceforward not be in any way unduly interfered with. S.r R. PEEL wished to know whether there would be any objection to lay before the House such infor mation as might enable them to form some judgment on the present state of our relations with Persia. Lord PALNIERSTON said he had stated the sub stance of the communications, and he had no objection to lay them before the house. ~ FO REGISTRATION O V BILL. Lord STANLEY brought up the Registration of Voters (Ireland) Bill, which was read a fi rst time, and ordered to be read a ~ , econd time on Wednesday, the 24th inst. NEW POOR-LAW.

On the question being put, e • NT s 7, ci s 'e l s 1.., At .. ea A. Mr. DISRAELI said he' was aware that when any, great measure became the law of the land, it seldom happened that it realized • Ike hopes al those who supported it, and so, he was afraid, was the case in the measure which it was then proposed to pro long. Now, before agreeing to that measure, be thought it was of great importance for the House to ascertain whether the Bill had had those remedial effacta which had been predicted, or whether there had not been some influences which had prevented those reenotli If effects from operating ; and he trusted he would be allowed to occupy the time of the House for a few minutes, because many . taunts had been thrown out against those whose voice was loud in decrying the measure upon the hustings ; and tvlio were said to ha discreetly silent in that House. He (Mr. D'lsraeli) would address lminiself to what he considered the salient and oriainel principles or the 13.3 —the principles upon which all its dioamls meat media ately or immediately depend. He wished to sue whether the Noble Lord had profited by the experience of the last six or seven years. Of the Bill, as it at present existed, one of the most important features was doubtless the union of parishes. It MIS a proposition that met with con . . derable discussion when it was first addressed to the notice of the House and of the country. Fur his own past, he did not think that it had ever received that attention which it ought to have commanded. The union of parishes was, in fact, a total 'evolution of the ancient parochial jurisdiction of England. Teat jurisdiction Was e ehe most ancient in the country, much more ancient than the political jurisdiction, one which bore a much nearer affitiity to time lover classes of such ty thane any political, ~farms .which they - - criii d possibly invent. He (Me. D'lsraeli) thought that the dteration in . this respect was as great a social revolution es Lai aver been t ffected.—(Hear, hear.) There were many reasons eii. en at the time for a measure which was generally recognized as one of a very s.rong c 'erecter. N cessity wes the plea by which it was supported : they were told that they could never obtain an efficient L i ed economical in en ageincnt of the poor but by the ration of parishes. It was then said, and it might he sail now, that the abuses of the old system, which were never denied, grew out of circumstances which did not depend upon the s'ze of the parishes. It was on that occasion particularly pointed out to the House, that the reform of the old system had already commenced in England, and lied proceeded to a considerable extent, for many years before the Government projected inter fering. Several parishes were adduced, many parishes indeed were quoted, in time original reports ; and in the first papers that were placed before Parliament, seve ral nstances were adduced of parishes which had commenced, and had effected . this self-reformation with the most complete success. It was alleged by the government, that if they left this reformation to the parishes themselves, it would most probably fail, or that if it succeeded, its progress must be slow, (Hear, hear.) There were some who thought that it was better that self reformation should accompany self Government. There were sonic aho thought there was no probebitity that the Government would iuterlere. For what had the Government, as far as its domestic policy was eonceraed, ever effected in England? L bad indeed sometimes prornuted coin . coerce by granting bounties, sometimes fostered ma nufactures by lessening the duties, but so far as our domestic policy was concerned, there was nothing of any great benefit, of any vastness, or of a compre hensive character in our seciai condition for which we were indebted to the Government. The Government did not originate our si, stein of national educa tion. Tne Government did not institute our Uni versities or endow our Colleges. 'rive Govern ment did not even create our colonial empire. It was not the Government of England that conquered India. It did not build our citadels, make our roads, or build our bridges ; and even in the present age, when the Governmen's interfered in almost every great undertaking, it did not construct our railways, The Government, however did interfere, and termina• tent the whole parochial jurisdie tion of the conntry ; and, certainly, it was impossible to conceive any revolution, although it might not have the hubbub and the individual interest of political revolution, that exercised a greater influence on the condition of the people at large than that interference did. Bat what had been the consequence? Nobody would deny that if they had not outraged the Constitu tion, or violated the laws,• which they might alter when they liked, they had done that which was much more important than Constitution or law, they had outraged the manners of the people. No statesman would treat that consideration with contempt, and he thought it was doubtful whether any pecuniary or financial consideration could weigh against the injury, which, by outraging the manners of the people ,they com mitted. But had they gained that pecuniary advantage? As far as could at present be ascertained, the parochial constitution of England had been destroyed for a mere sordid consideration—(Hear, hear)—and that sordid consideration they were in the miserable position of finding they had not obtained. It was now 'natter of notoriety, for they had it from authority, that the sum which had been levied on the people of England for the year that had terminated, according to the official statement, amouuted to more than 1,200,000/. —(Hear, hear, hear.) If that sum were added to what had been expended last year, and the increase of the county-rates, and the universal promise in every parish of the increase of the poor-rates for the corning year taken into consideration, he wouldask whether there was any man bold enough to say that before two years had expired the expenditure for the Poor-laws would be less than it was two years before the present law came into operation ?—(Hear.) lie mentioned the period of two years because, in the average formed by the Commissioners, they omitted the year imme diately preceding the commencement of the new law. the practical consequence of that would be that they must probably pay as much as they did under a system ' of abuse, and without any of the advantages that resulted front that system. The next great feature of the law was th t which the union of the parishes neces sarily led to. l'hat portentous creation of a reformed i legislation, which certainly had not been equalled in any country, was the necessary consequence of the union of districts. lie knew it was easy to declaim about the statute of Elizabeth, but he was not willing, on the re sent occasion, to avail himself of that. lie wished to bring a dispassionate spirit to the discussion of the Noble Lard's motion. The statute of Eti zabeth, inked, involved a principle which thsuld be always spoken of with consideration, and respect, but it was not very clear by what means that principle could be carried into effect. But, suppose, for a moment, that in a highly populous and civiliz eel country, they could control and manage time pauper population by shutting them up in prisons; it was contrary t o the dictates of human nature, and to all the cir cumstances of civilized society to do so. That they must be it prison was time necessary conse quence of the present system, and then they should have a discipline of some sort esta blished. It was impossible to immure persons in a single building without immediately enacting a discipline Wilicb, as far as the . ; were concerned, lid every circumstance of the disgrace of a prison without the conscious elegradatiuu of deserving such. What theme he would ask, had they o' tained by taking the pauper population of England and immuring them in a building which had all the c haracteristics , of a prison, and submitting them to treatment , whic i they could oaiy extend to criminals ?—(liea.p (sear.)

It was n ot nccssary, , , , . controlling inflaence should be in the metropolis— e n t l I ofc confesseditnlinter. r . there was no reason why it should not be local. The Poor -law Bill had not produced the general benefit that n.. 1 a nticipated from it. Even the reduction of expen diture which had been so sanguinely anticipated had not been uccomplished. It appeared to bins more na tural that the cantrolling influence should be vested in t h e c hi e f persons in tile country, than in persons ap pointed by the Government, amid residing in the metro polis. lie had hoped that the three great objections to the former measure had been removed by the Noble Lord in the present all. Instead, however, of his having made any modification of the clause for the union of parishes, he hod extended it to unions of unions, and, by that step, the fragments of all paro chial institutions were entirely destroyed. In the Bill it was provided that you might farm out the pauper po pulation from one county to another. All the practices of the old law, as regarded unions and workhouses, were aggravated, while, as regarded the great principle of c .nt ru E za ti ou by the Bill before the House, the power which a Commissioners rdght and could obtain p had never been exercised b y an y Pailiamcnt of England copy of time old law. before.
