This method does not require the ex traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will supp3rt and pre serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas tication. 52, FLEET-STREET.—At home from Ten till Five. INDISPUTABLE LIFE POLICY COMPANY, No. 72, Lombard-street, London. TRUSTEXS.

TRIESEMAR, No. 1, is a remedy for Relaxation, Spermatorrhcea, and Exhaustion of the System. TRIESEMAR, No. 2, effectually, in the short space of three days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of those Disorders which Capivi and Cubebs have so long been thought an antidote for; to the ruin of the health of a vast portion of the population. TRIESEMAR, No. 3, is the great Continental Remedy for that class of Disorders, which unfortunately the English physician treats with Mercury, to the in evitable destruction of the patient's constitution, and which.al the sarsaparilla in the world cannot remove. TRIESEMAR, No. 1,2, and 3, are alike devoid of taste or smell, and of all nauseating qualities. They may lie on the toilet table without their use being suspected.

SUCCESS OF THE FRENCH LOAN AND FAILURE OF THE ENGLISH LOAN• (Front the Derbyshire Courier,) We have not been accustomed to see such an announce ment as that which stands at the head of this article, bul e ch i G t o c v o e n r t n a o i e s o zo more than o t t h h i o p:1; t w r u a o th t e . d Tthoe beag 250,000,000 of francs (equal to 10,000,0001. sterling), and the amount of subscriptions registered was 468,315,400 francs (equal to 18,732,6361. sterling). The English Government want to borrow six millions ster ling on Exchequer Bonds, and cannot raise one-third of the amount. " What a contrast this offers !" says the Daily Ncit'3. " Nineteen millions offered to the Finance Minister in France—and only about one million and a half to the Chancellor of the Exchequer of England !" ! As it cannot he doubted that England is still a very rich country, to what cause, it may be asked, is it owing that the same financial operation is in the two countries at tended with such different results? The cause is wholly to be ascribed, as we conceive, to the different monetary systems in use in the two coun tries. The mercantile classes in France know, from ex perience, that if a pressure for gold in exchange for paper money arise, which is likely to curtail the opera tions of trade. in that country, the Bank of France will be authorised to suspend cash payments till the pressure is over. The mercantile classes in England know, from experience, that if a similar pressure for gold were to arise, which is likly to cripple trade in this country, the Bank of England will not be allowed to suspend cash payments till the greater part of the mercantile and trad ing establishments of our principal towns, and the manu facturing firms of the provincial districts, aro ruined. They cannot forget that, in 1847, after the Bank was most reluctantly allowed to put an end to the distress of the country by departing from the rigid rule laid down for its conduct by the late Sir Robert Peel in his Bills of 1819, 113+4 7 -ebod.-1246,--the-principal anxiety of Government was shown, not in atoning for its errors by prompti tude of action, but in trying to get a share of that usurious profit which the Bank was encouraged to de mand from its customers as the price of the accommo dation which they required. The people of England are accustomed to place great reliance on the wisdom of Parliament and the paternal care of Government, but their interests have been too often betrayed since 1815, and especially of late years, to make them wil ling any longer to trust to the discretion of Govern ment, or the intelligence and virtue of their represen tatives. They have learnt at last that they must take care of themselves, and they know that if they lock up their money in Mr. Gladstone's Exchequer Bonds for six years to come, they may rue the day before the pre- sent year is over. The injuries inflicted upon this country, in 1847, by the operation of Sir Robert Peel's Bills, are too fresh in the memory of our readers to require particular no tice. The losses which the community then endured have been estimated as high as from 250 to 300 mil lions sterling. Instead of dwelling upon them, we will point out, as a more valuable lesson, the means which the Government of France employed to mitigate the evils of a similar pressure on the Bank of France, and the success which, even in the estimation of its bitterest enemies, attended its measures. We shall quote for this purpose a tract which has just reached us, entitled " The Times Newspaper and the Bank of Fngland," written, we believe, by a gentleman in this county, and printed for private distribution. It is dated May 16, 1854 : After the French Revolution broke out in February, 1848, difficulties in regard to the monetary system of France immediately arose, which, it may be safely affirmed, were more fearful than had ever previously been surmounted by any nation, without incurring the dreadful consequences of a national bankruptcy. On the 15th March, 1848, the Bank of France was on the point of being totally stopped ; and in this extremity the Pro visional Government issued a decree, by which French Bank notes to the amount of 350,000,000 francs (equal to 14,000,0001. sterling) were made a legal tender. This decree was no sooner issued, than our Times paper de nounced the measure as the worst thing the Government couid have done. "Unhappily" (said the editor) "the credit of the Bank of France, by far the greatest and most solid establishment in the country, was already shaken before this decree gave the finishing stroke to it. For two days a run of silver had been going on to an immense extent. After the Bank had discounted to the utmost limit of its powers, it was called upon to reim burse the holders of its own notes. Those notes had, therefore, lost the confidence of the public before they were made a legal tender. To suppose that the decree of the Provisional Government can restore that confi dence, or, in other words,ithe nominal value of the notes, is ridiculous." The same influential paper afterwards exerted all the power it possessed to promote the fulfilment of its own unhappy predictions. But notwithstanding all the hostility which the power ful prejudices of the daily writers in the Times paper could bring to bear against the Bank of France, and against this Decree of the Provisional Government, the measure proved eminently successful ; as is further shown on the testimony of the same parties, who had been so prejudiced against it. The editor of the Times, in less than a year afterwards (February 16, 1849), was constrained to admit the success, which he had previ ously declared impossible, and to give a statistical state ment of the wonders which the decree had accomplished, which he concludes with the following important re marks :—"To complete this marvellous summary, it must be added that the Bank, after all these exertions, had completely recovered the ground it h.+ d at one time almost lost. At one moment the amount of bills overdue and doubtful was noless than 77,700,000 f. (equal to 3,108,0001. sterling); that sum is now reduced to 14,340,000 f. (equal to 573,6001. sterling), and it is confidently anticipated that the actual loss of the Bank of France by these risks will not exceed the comparatively trifling suns of four million francs (equal to 160,0001. sterling)." And then he adds in conclusion--" We cannot do more than present our readers with this very brief outline of these masterly operations ; but when it is re membered that they wer e conducted in all the gloom and terror of an unparalleled Revolution, when the Govern ment lay prostrate before the mob, and property itself was openly assailed, this narrative of dry financial entries assumes the importance and the dignity of an heroic re sistance to adverse circumstances, and in the very first rank of those who rescued France from the jaws of bankruptcy, and Society itself from dissolution, we place without hesitation the patriotic and able conductors of the Bank of France. It is, in fact, the only passage in the history of the past year of which the French have reason to be proud ; and it will not be forgotten, that these eminent services were rendered by an independent corporation—the only one of its kind in France, though such bodies are happily more numerous in this country, and that the men who saved the finances of the Republic were themselves no Republicans, and wholly uncon nected with those political dissensions which have thus convulsed their own country and the rest of Europe." Thus that decree of the French Government, which, in March, 1848, had been declared by the Times paper to be as absurd and ridiculous as language could be found to express, was, in February, 1849, declared by the same witness to have constituted the only passage in the history of the past year of which the French had reason to be proud. He says, that it had enabled the governor and managers of the Bank of France to float their establishment, " like an ark above the waters of Discord," and to rescue their country "from the jaws of bankruptcy, and society itself from dissolution." Our extract ends hero. We.will merely add that the Bank of France, on the 11th of this present month, held bullion to the amount of 409,630,576 francs (16,385,2231. sterling), while its notes in circulation amounted to 590,153,075 francs (23,606,1231. sterling). The Bank of England, on the 13th inst., held bullion to the amount of 11,857,2701., while its notes issued amounted to 25,857,270/. Deducting from these the notes in the Bank in reserve, 4,713,2801., leaves 21,143,9901. as the notes in active circulation. Thus the Bank in France, with a note circulation at least equal to that of the Bank of England, has to meet its engagements, at least two-thirds of that amount in bullion, while the Bank of England has less than one-half. We leave our readers to say which is the better monetary system.

THE NEW COUNTY COURTS ACT. —Yesterday the new County Courts Act, which rece_ivedlttihse n l o l sv oy i a n l assent on the 2d instant, was e is I operation. By this act it is provided that the right of appeal given by section 14 of the 13th and 14th Vict., C. 61, is to extend to cases in which jurisdiction is givn by the 17th section. Th e second clause of the act is of to some importance in mat ters relating insolvency. It enacts that the provisions of thellfdth section of the act c. 54, shall extend to all cases of 15th and 16th Vict. , petitions o f court Vict., under the provis ions of the acts of the sth and 6th c. 116 ; of the 7th and Bth Vict., c. 96, and of the 10th and 11th Vict., c. 102, as fully as if the filing of every such petition had been required to be registered by the said ISth section of the first-recited act. The act is called the "County Courts Extension Acts Amendment." AN ANGLER KILLED BY LIGHTNING.—SeveraI severe thunderstorms have passed over Worcestershire and Gloucestershire during the past week. On Tuesday evening a heavy storm, but of short duration, passed over the village of Kempsey, on the banks of the Severn, south of Worcestershire. Just before its commencement, an old man named Wingfield, who for many years was valet in the family of the late Earl of Coventry, at Croome, near Worcester, went to fish in the Severn, near Kempsey. When the storm approached he took refuge beneath a pear-tree, but not coming home his family went in search of him, and found his lifeless body under the tree, his clothes partly torn from his body, and the tree itself much shattered. The body was almost naked, his clothes being burnt and torn from him, and portions of them were found in the tree. He had his fishing-rod firmly clinched in his hand. At the inquest since held on the body, before Mr. Hill, deputy . coroner, a verdict of " Milled by lightning" was re turued. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, J UNE 6, 1854. MR.

As it is more than probable that ere long the news will arrive that active operations have actually com menced against this great Russian stronghold—the forti fications of which alone are said to have cost 7,000,0001. sterling, and are considered of immense strength—the following description of the place will he read with in- terest : The Russian topographer, Vsevolosky, says : " The town stands on a chalky stratum, which rises from the height of thirty feet at the extremity of the point to an elevation' of 190 feet above the sea in the upper part. This elevation, with the steep coast oppo site, which also consists of a calcareous rock, perfectly defends the bay, which, from the summit of the heights, appears to lie at the bottom of a deep cavity ; and, in deed, at a very short distance from the shore inland, it is impossible to perceive the tops of the highest masts. Near the extremity at the point of land -stands the house built in 1787 for the reception of the Empress Catherine It Behind are situate the Admiralty, the Arsenal, and the houses of the naval officials ; while higher up are the dwellings of the inhabitants of the town, the market, and the Greek Church ; besides which there is a Russian church for the use of the sailors be longing to the Black Sea fleet. The seamen's hospital and barracks, and the magazines, are mostly situate on the other side of the harbour, and, together with the barracks of the garrison, built a short distance from the former, comprise a sort of suburb. The town of Sebas topol itself is not much above a mile in length, and is nowhere more than 400 yards wide. The harbour, the most important feature in Sebastopol, has been coin pared to that of Malta. The principal bay is about three miles and a half in length, and a width of three-quarters of a mile at the mouth, widening to nearly a mile; and then narrowing to 600 or 700 yards at the head. The en trance of the harbour is defended by strong batteries placed at the extremity of the two points of land that form the bay. Besides these there is another fronting the town, and two more on the double point on which the town stands with a redoubt higher up. About a mile from the north of the bay the grand port for vessels of war forms a sort of small arm, running in asouth-west direc tion. It is upwards of a mile and a half in length, with a width of 400 yards at the entrance, andhas a little narrow creek of about 600 yards in length, in which ships can be laid up in ordinary with perfect safety. On the other side of the town, in Artillery Bay, is a similar creek used to careen vessels of war." Mr. Oliphant, who visited the Crimea in the autumn of 1852, gives an interesting account of the town and fortifications : " The population of Sebastopol, including military and marine, amounts to 40,000. The town is, in fact, an immense garrison, and looks imposing because so many of the buildings are barracks or Government offices. Still, I was much struck with the suhstantia , l appearance of many of the private houses ; and, indeed, the main street was handsomer than any I had seen since leaving Moscow, while it owed its extreme cleanliness to large gangs of military prisoners, who were employed in per petually sweeping. New houses were springing up in every direction, Government works were still going on vigorously, and Sebastopol bids fair to rank high among Russian cities. The magnificent arm of the sea upon which it is situate is an object worthy the millions which have been lavished in rendering it a fitting receptacle for the Russian navy. " As I stood upon the handsome stairs that lead down to the water's edge, I counted 13 sail of the line an chored in the principal harbour. The newest of these, a noble three-decker, was lying within pistol-shot of the quay. The average breadth of this inlet is 1,000 yards ; two creeks branch off from it, intersecting the town in a southerly direction, and containing steamers and smaller craft, besides a long row of hulks, which have been con verted into magazines or prison-ships. " Nothing can be more formidable than the appear ance of Sebastopol from the seaward. Upon a future occasion we visited it in a steamer, and found that at one point we were commanded by 1,200 pieces of artil lery ; fortunately for a hostile fleet, we afterwards heard that these could not be discharged without bringing down the rotten batteries upon which they are placed, and which are so badly copstructed that they look as though they had been done by contract. Four of the forts consist of three tiers of batteries. We were, of course, unable to do more than take a very general survey of these celebrated fortifications, and therefore cannot vouch for the truth of the assertion, that the rooms in which the guns are worked are so narrow and ill-ventilated, that the artillerymen would be in variably stifled in the attempt to discharge their guns and their duty ; but of one fact there was no doubt, that however well fortified may be the approaches to Sebastopol by sea, there is nothing whatever to pre vent any number of troops landing a few miles to the south of the town;--its ,one of _the six conmnyept bays with which the coast, as far as Cape XisirsOli;ls in dented, and marching down the main street (provided they were strong enough to defeat any military force that might be opposed to them in the open field), sack the town, and burn the fleet. " In the batteries, a system of casemates, to the ex clusion of every other principle, has been adopted, and their construction in this respect renders them remark able in the annals of fortification. The freestone of which they are built is soft ; and, according to the state ment of Captain Jesse—whose work upon rßussia and the War' contains some interesting information on the subject, and who had extensive opportunities of exa mining thern—the strength of the masonry is very ques tionable. The counterforts are filled with rubble, and several of the keystones of the arches have certainly been shaken by the firing of salutes. The Alexander fort has only one tier of guns in casemates, the upper tier being en barbette ; the work terminates in a circular tower, the rampart of which is about six feet thick. The apertures or portholes of all the casemates are small, so that there is no possibility of training the guns to the right or the left. Admiral Greig, who formerly com manded the Black Sea fleet, considers this of no conse quence, as, from the great number of guns employed, upwards of twelve hundred, there is no point in or near the harbour which does not lie under a cross fire of 60 pieces of the largest artillery. The casemates are used as barracks, 10 men occupying the space between each gun ; and the general objection is that batteries on this principle are not capable of making a lengthened defence, as the smoke fills them rapidly, and so annoys the artillerymen that they cannot continue to work the guns. The Alexander battery is covered in the rear by the guns of the extremity of the wall of the town. This is the case with all the batteries ; they give a mutual sup port to each other, which is the true spirit of fortifica tion. Of course they are liable to attack from the land side, unless, as the public have been informed, the Rus sians are taking measures to throw up land defences. The Russians consider the harbour impregnable, but that remains to be proved." THE RUSSIAN SHIP OF WAR AURORA, 44 guns, arrived at Callao on the 16th of April, from Rio. HORRIBLE MUTILATION AND DEATH.—Within the last few days the most painful interest has been created in Hammersmith, in consequence of the death of a poor but much respected man named Wigley, living in the neighbourhood, which took place on Sunday last, and had been caused by the fearful injuries he bad received in a furious attack made upon him by a glandered horse. Other persons having been attacked by the same horse, the inhabitants have taken up the matter on behalf of the widow and children, and instructed Mr. Jones, of Clifford's-inn, solicitor, to take proceedings against the proprietor of the horse, as soon as the identity and ownership of the animal are established. Since the death of the unfortunate man, a prelimina r y in q uiry has been opened at the Clarendon Arms, before Mr. Brent, the coroner. Upon that occasion, Mr. 'Thomp son, barrister, instructed by Mr. Jones, appeared on behalf of the inhabitants and also the widow, From the evidence given, it appeared that the horse in ques tion had, since April last, been turned out into a field adjoining the Surrey-side towering-path of Hammer smith-bridge, through which, for the last forty years, there has been a footway to Sharpe's Farm, which is, in many respects, a public one, and frequented by the neighbouring gentry. The deceased was a carman, and had a horse turned out somewhere in that vicinity. Upcn the 27th of April, as the son of a, baker at Ham mersmith, and some others were near, they heard screams proceeding from the field, and saw the horse in question holding the deceased down, near a tree, by the scalp of his bead. The animal then seized him by the hair, and dragged him some distance. It then raised him right off the ground three or four times, each time most violently plunging him down. It then released him from that position and fell with its knees upon his body, and, to use the language of one of the witnesses, began tearing deceased about the head, loins, and shoulders, as a dog would. Finally, the animal was beaten off, and deceased taken home, where he lingered until the day of his death. Mr. Stephen John Peach, M.D., Angell terrace, Battersea, saw deceased ; he was delirious and had a low putrid fever, and his body had upon it nume rous tumours, some suppurating. He never rallied. His death was clearly caused by farcy glanders. His head and body were much lacerated, and marked with a horse's teeth. The flesh had been torn away from the left arm fully the size of a saucer. Between the two shoulders a large piece had been gnawed away, The in quiry has been adjourned. THE CZAR A " MACGREGOR."—A correspondent of the Scotsman gives the following, in proof that the Rus sian Autocrat is of Highland extraction :—" The Empe ror Paul was in London, and when one day driving in his carriage through Hyde-park, he observed a lady, in the bloom of youth and beauty, riding past on a High land shelty. He stopped his carriage, made inquiry about her, found out who she was, got introduced to her father, and finally to herself, paid frequent visits to her at her father's house, was so much captivated by her beauty, accomplishments, and unassuming manners, that he offered her marriage, was accepted, and after all preliminaries were settled, was some time after privately married to her, went with him to Russia, and in due time became the mother of the present Emperor of all the Russias. The reader will wonder who this lady was ; in answer, I have to say that she was none other than the beautiful daughter of 111`Gregor, the ilighlead farmer of Drislgo of Turk.'; _ THE CARPENTERS STRIKE. It is a maxim as old as the bills, that no man profits by the experience of another. Were it otherwise, it would only have been necessary to sacrifice a few gene rations on the altar of Happy Humanity, and their suc cessors upon the surface of the planet might have passed through life without a weakness, without a folly, with out a crime, almost without an ailment, until the time had arrived for that last sleep, which would then have fallen as gently upon their eyelids as its warm midday slumber upon those of a healthy child. • Unfortunately it is otherwise—we cannot fund for our benefit the remorse, the repentance, the self-inflicted agonies undergone by our predecessors. For others we can play the Mentor to admiration—for ourselves, we must learn the harsh lesson of forethought and self- discipline by our own experience of life. ft, is not, how ever, the less painful to see men carefully elaborating the process of their own misery, when we know what the result must be as certainly as we know the effect of some deadly poison if once suffered to cross the lips. Some few rules of social economy aro established as firmly as any of the laws which regulate the phenomena of the physical world--and woe to those who transgress them ! Misery, ruin, death, are the certain corm- quences of any mistake in these particulars. The Rus sian Czar, who is at this moment engaged in sacrificing thousands of his wretched subjects to the projects of his insane ambition, is making a sad mistake in one way, • and the artisans of Western Europe, who would modify or distort the laws of property according to their own views of their selfish interests, are equally in fatal error In the last case, to be sure, the consequences will fall entirely upon themselves, for society will crush them in the struggle, almost without a consciousness of the petty obstacle whioh—for a.nzuament stopped the way. A few years ago, indeed, there might have been danger in such combinations as that which at present exists among the carpenters of Nottingham, be cause the experiment bad not been tried, and because large masses of-ignorant people appeared disposed to test the result. Even in France, however, at a season of wild revolutionary excess, and in a country far more favourably situated than our own for the trial of such theories, the experiment broke down. It has been tested since among ourselves upon more than one occa sion, but in every instance the result has been the misery and ruin of the misguided men who endeavoured to establish the rule that one man should dispose of his property in the way another man might please. The contingency that property would in the last resort withdraw itself from the action of the labour-market is one which does not seem to have entered into the calculations of our modern philosophers. The jour neymen carpenters .at Nottingham may retire— they may induce others to retire—from the shops of the builders, unless they will agree to discard the use of certain machines ; but that which they can cer tainly not prevent is that their late employers may, any day they please, cease to be builders altogether if they cannot find a third way out of their difficulty. The threat is no visionary one. If these new champions of the rights of labour against the rights of property will consider anything, they should at least be at the pains of considering what has taken place in the case of the amalgamated engineers, and more recently at Preston among the spinners and other artisans. Taking the case simply as one of selfish prudence, and assuming that the seceders are altogether right in their views of social economy, and that their employers are tyrants, oppressors, and what not, still is the present moment an encouraging one for renewing an attempt which has once and again so signally failed I If the Nottingham men are capable of putting a few figures together, they must surely see that in numbers, in money, and in resources of all kinds they are infinitely in a worse posi tion at the commencement of such a contest that the men of Preston were some months back. Upon what considerations, then, do they found their hopes of a more prosperous result ? They may have noticed that the employers of labour at Preston were perfectly pre pared, if driven to the last extremity, to retire altoge ther from a line of business which they could not hope to carry on at a profit, rather than succumb to the dic tation of their workmen. They made no idle pretence, but they did what they threatened to do. For months and months, to their own most grievous loss, they kept their mills closed altogether, or performed a scanty day's work with the hands who did not set them at de fiance. Nor can there be any doubt—we speak ad visedly, and with full knowledge of their determination —that the masters of Preston would have transferred their capital to some other district, or even to some other country, or they would have retired from busi ness altogether, had they not succeeded in carrying on their industrial undertakings in their own way. This result might have been obtained by the employment of fresh hands from a distance. and by improvements in machinery, or it might have been obtained by the return to their work of men fatigued with misery and weak with starvation, who had exhausted all their resources, carried their little articles of property to the pawnbroker's shop, pledged the pledge tickets, wea ried out the patience of those who had too long contributed to their support in idleness, and who had finally discovered that all was unavailing, and that the option at last was between the mill and the poorhouse. We leave it to the carpenters of Nottingham, who are just commencing the same weary round of folly and error, to determine for themselves more accurately what the real result has been. The principle for which the Nottingham carpenters are now contending is, if possible, more absurd than the one which recently drove the men of Preston to seces sion. The carpenters wish to bind their employers down to the rule that they shall not use " machine-made mouldings." This is just the old war of hand-labour against machine-labour, which we had hoped was long since decided. Lord Byron, then a youth of twenty one years of age, made his maiden speech in the House of Peers upon the subject of the Notting. ham franiebreakers. That was half a century ago, and here are the Nottingham men again renewing the folly of their fathers. From tune to time since then we have had deplorable results of the same fatuity and ignorance, but we all know the result of these violent outbreaks, whether directed against the spinner or the agricultnrist—against power looms or thrashing-machines --a disgraceful and violent death to the leaders of these riots, and misery in its most hideous forms to their dupes. Upon more recent occasions experience has taught the misguided men who have thrown themselves into the hands of the club leaders that, whatever else may answer, violence, at least, is out of the question, and, for their own sakes, we are thankful for, even this moderate extent of enlight enment. Why cannot they profit by the lessons of this stern taskmistress to even a greater degree ? Indepen dently of the considerations which may be deduced from the example of the Preston strike and others of the like kind, a knowledge of their own business might give these men juster ideas of the effect of machinery upon their employment. The hammer, the saw, the plane, are but machines for shortening and lightening human labour. Were not these implements and others of the like kind in existence, we should creep into caverns for shelter, or scoop out holes in winter, or tear down a few boughs in summer, to shelter us from the inclemency of the sea sons. We should pick up beechnuts from the ground and sloes from the hedges, we should knock down a hare or a rabbit with a stone, and consume those luxuries without the help of chair or table. We should, in point of fact, do without carpenters altogether. The ingenuity of man, however, is happily such that one generation has improved upon the discoveries of another, and in no respect has this quality been more signally displayed than in the houses we inhabit. The greater the improvements made the greater has been the call for improvement. The more houses that have been built, the more have been called for. Streets, rows, crescents, places rise out of the ground like last night's mushrooms, and still the call is for more. Except by the aid derived from machinery, from the moment the tree is sawn into planks by the steam-mill until the machine-made mould ing is fixed against the wall such results could not be obtained, and the services of the carpenter would be but moderately called into requisition. But for the jus tification such a course receives from the fact of this strike at Nottingham, we should be ashamed to treat such a point as one for grave discussion ; but if the move ment be really one made in pure ignorance it can scarcely be superfluous to call the attention of these mis guided men to facts which they cannot deny. The more numerous the improvements, and the greater the employment of machines in the carpentry business, so much the greater will be the call for carpenters. They should not, moreover, forget that they deal in a very perishable commodity. Houses,—as every householder knows to his cost—are constantly in need of repair, and certainly the hammer of the carpenter rings quite often enough in any house we have ever known to disturb the serenity of the inmates. These wise folks at Notting ham are just now engaged in an attempt to keep down the construction of houses. Their maxim is, virtually— the fewer houses the better for the carpenter. They must not lose sight of the fact, that machines are constructed for two purposes—to aid, or to supersede human labour. Fortunately for them, the ingenuity of our mechanics has been hitherto directed to the construction of ma chines which may be referred to the first of these two di visions. There can, however, be little doubt that, should our builders be reduced to extremity, they will soon be enabled to do without personal sleight-of-hand to a far greater extent than at present. The most favourable con dition for the carpenter is that mechanical science should work with him. It may be, as an alternative, that our mechanists may be called upon to solve the problem of reducing human co-operation to the smallest possible extent.—Times. STABBING AT LIVERPOOL. —We regret to state that the above crime is on the increase in Liverpool. On Wed nesday last the magistrates at the police•court were occupied with three cases, in one of which a married woman named Higgins was charged by Bridget M`Keown with stabbing her in several parts of the person while in ' a fit of jealous feeling. In another case the parties were sailor: —Robert Bloom being stabbed by George Brown, in a quarrel about a female in a dancing-room. The third case was of a serious character, a sailor, named John Gilap, basing deliberately cut the throat of an un fortunate woman whom he c ohabited , Warnedßarlow with ! THE WAR.

These men, having signed an agreement not to serve against France or England during the pre sent war with Russia, will be permitted to enter the British merchant service. _ . Advices were received yesterday at the Admiralty, under date Elsinore, June 1, announcing the arrival of her Majesty's transport Resistance, with stores for the Baltic fleet. _ The Ti—izer steam-vessel bas been taken into the basin at Woolwich, and will be paid off to-day. The Hermes steam-sloop, Captain Fishbourne, was taken into the basin at Woolwich yesterday, prepara tory to being paid off. She brought home the left wing of Captain P. M'Lean's company of Bth battalion of Royal Artillery from Hong Kong, and they disem barked on Sunday afternoon at four o'clock, and joined the head-quarters in the garrison. She also brought home three sergeants, three corporals, two drummers, and 42 privates of the St. Helena regiments, as they have volunteered for service in the line regiments. They are for the present quartered in the Royal Artil lery Barracks. A. number of workmen have offered their services, and been accepted, to work as engineers and smiths on board the Volcano steam-sloop, now fittting as a float ing factory for the Baltic. Mr. Nasmyth has contracted to provide and fit the whole of the tools and fittings, and an independent steam engine and boiler capable of exerting a power of 12 horses.

Yesterday the Lords of the Admiralty gave notice at Lloyd's that the ordnance_to ,be couveyed4a_Constanti-, nople, and for which a ship will be taken np this day, had been increased to 146 tons. The heaviest gun weighs 120 cwt. Notice was also given that a vessel was required to convey 220 tons of coke for the use , of her Majesty's steam navy to Malta. A section of the metropolitan police are under orders for Constantinople to assist the Commissariat. The men have volunteered from the different divisions, and each constable receives a bounty of 121. and a stipend of 4s. per diem. Mr. Atherton, chief engineer of the factory at Wool wich dockyard, inspected the Kangaroo steam-vessel of 300 horse-power yesterday. She is lying off the Royal Arsenal for the purpose of taking on board military stores for conveyance to the seat of war in the East, The following appointments have been made : Second Master Robert Coen, to the Minx, steam vessel, at present on her way round to Portsmouth. Master's-Assistant John A, Cullinson, to the Sphinx steam-sloop at Portsmouth. Thirty non-commissioned officers and gunners of the Royal Artillery, of the 2d, 3d, sth, and Bth battalions, arrived in the garrison at Woolwich yesterday from Malta. They came to Portsmouth in the Vulcan steam troopship, the non-commissioned officers on promotion, and the gunners as invalids unfit for further service. The last detachment of the 6th Enniskillen Dragoon Guards has left Exeter en route for Plymouth to embark for the East. They were greeted with much enthusiasm by the inhabitants as they passed through the city. YEOMANRY AND MILITIA. Yesterday afternoon the City of London Militia, Colonel Wilson Commandant, completed their 28 days' drill, in the Artillery-ground, Bunhill-row. The men will deliver in their regimentals and accoutrements this day (Tuesday), and receive the third instalment of the bounty of 6/. The Essex Rifle Militia, Colonel Lord Jocelyn, now doing duty in the Tower, were on Saturday reviewed in Hyde-park by the Commander-in-Chief. The regiment took up its ground about 10 o'clock ; shortly after that hour Lord Hardinge entered the park, and the evolu tions commenced ; the manoeuvres did not terminate till past 12 o'clock. The Commander-in-Chief was pleased to express his approval of the high state of discipline at tained by the regiment. The consecration and presentation of colours to the 3d Royal Surrey Militia took place just before it was dis banded. The colours were placed against three drums, and the Bishop of Winchester, who performed the cere mony of consecration, was conducted to the spot by Ad jutant Parrett. Miss Sumner, his Lordship's daughter, presented them. The men were afterwards inspected by Colonel Bush. The Isle of Wight Artillery Militia has completed its term of training, and has undergone an inspection by Colonel Houltain, of the Royal Artillery, who spoke in the highest terms of praise of the efficiency of the bat talion. Ten of the privates who volunteered have been received into the Royal Artillery. The next meeting of the troop will be either a Sconce or Sandown Fort. The Dorset Militia has been inspected by Lieutenant- Colonel Hansford, of the Rifle Brigade, on Poundbury hill. The regiment has made steady progress since it was called out to drill, and all the men have voluntered for garrison duty, if they can be of any service to the Government. The Royal Cornwall Rangers were inspected at Bod min, previously to their discharge, by Lieutenant-Co lonel Horn, of the 20th Foot. After the salute in line, the men marched past in quick time, performed several battalion movements, and ended with light drill, several of the co o m fli p c a e n r i e s e x s p k r ir es mis s ed h ing in himself succession. mu ch Thepleased w iitnh earance of the men, and 'their profi c i enc y i n ts d hp e ee il c l t , ainpgp On Ithe men being discharged, each received a guinea bounty for the training. During the month 15 men transferred their services in the regular forces, and it is anticipated that more will do so. The corps of Royal Cornwall Rangers comprises two field officers, 10 captains, 20 subalterns, 3 staff, 35 sergeants, 10 buglers, and 1,051 rank and file. At the drill just con cluded there were wanting to complete the above com plement 4 subalterns, 20 sergeants, and 590 rank and file.

Lord Brougham in the chair, when a discussion took place on the priated report of the committee re garding the expediency of establishing a Minister of Justice. The Noble CHAIRMAN thought that there was a little exaggeration in the report as to the existing defective system of promoting amendment of the law. The obser vation was continually being made that the present session of Parliament would pass without doing any. thing. That was a great mistake. If only a very few of the measures introduced for law amendment would pass that session, great benefits would be conferred on the community. The Common Law Procedure Act which had gone through the House of Lords, and which had received unanimous sanction in almost all its details, was one of the most valuable statutes that had been brought forward for many centuries. It e►nbodied sub- stantially his own propositions regArding the law of evi• deuce and arbitration. Mr. ELLIOT said it would be desirable to define the exact position and specific duties of the contemplated Minister of Justice. Mr. R. CARR was unwilling to raise any vexatious ob • jection against the able report submitted for their consi deration. He noticed that nothing was said as to whe ther the Minister of Justice should be in the House of Commons or Lords. Mr. Commissioner Fane, in his pamphlet, had laid it down that such a high officer should sit in the lower house. The members in the House of Peers were not so accessible to the public. Were all its members as accessible as their noble chairman, there would then be no necessity for withdrawing the Minister of Justice from the upper house. He must be where the grievances of the public would be best pleaded, lis tened to, and redressed. He did not approve of the plan to have him in the Lords and an under-secretary in the Commons. That would not work effectively. Hia duties would bo in particular to keep the law in its proper channel, and to bring it back to such where it toad diverged from its n a ti ve t rac k . H e regre t te d t o say that the law had been greatly deformed and distorted, and by the very last men who should have done so, by some of the judges who might be dexterous special pleaders, and subtle at technicalities, but were extremely deficient in the knowledge of jurisprudence, which WM based on good common sense. ---; Mr. PULLING said there were three distinct beads in the report, each of which required great attention. One of them referred to the proper administration of the law of the land, and that the prosecution sh ou ld b e stea di ly conducted by some particular officer ; he reckoned that a very valuable suggestion. There ought to b e a p u bli c prosecutor to see thet justice should be uniform and consistent. He would not advise that the Minister of Justice should have the power to review or modify the sentences of the judges, making him virtually a high court of appeal. Much less could he agree to the sug gestion that such officer should be invested with the ar bitrary power of reprimanding or dismissing any of the high public servants. No individual should ever wield such irresponsible power, which amounted to tyranny. Mr. RoGERS contended that law reform had emanated largely, if not exclusively, from the legal body. The late Sir Samuel Romilly had brought forward the great reforms in the criminal code. Jeremy Bentham, a lawyer also, was the prince of law reformers, and two of the greatest law reformers now sitting in the House of Peers adorned the legal profession. The Minister of Justice should be a lawyer, in order to quickly under stand all grievances submitted to his notice, and be promptly prepared to apply suitable remedies. Mr. Enrol' saw no reason for the Minister of Justice being necessarily a great lawyer, provided he had a good staff around him. He differed from Mr. Pulling as to some supervision over the judges. There could be no tyranny inflicted on the public, and the judges would never be interfered with, except under extraordinary circumstances. Ho knew of many individual cases of tyranny, where unfortunate individuals had been heavily punished for really no crime at all but want of self-pos session and cool nerve in court. A. large portion of the public were strongly of opinion that our judges were far too independent, and that they required some salutary check and closer supervision. The CHAIRMAN deeply regretted that the discussion in the House of Lords regarding a public prosecutor had been so meagrely reported in the newspapers. On that occasion Lord Campbell had entered fully into the merits of the question, and had made some admirable remarks, which had never appeared in print. Subse quently, he (Lord Brougham) had given the Chief Jus tice another opportunity of expressing his opinion on the subject by asking him a question. Lord Campbell had in consequence again discussed the point, but not nearly so fully as on the former occasion. Mr. Philli more had taken up the same subject, and hadintroduced a bill still more extensive than his own. The country was under deep obligations to Mr. Phillimore, who, however, was willing to leave it in the hands of Govern• ment, provided they would give reasonable hopes of adopting the spirit of his measure. In 1834, previous to the November of that year, he (Lord Brougham), along with the then Home Secretary, Lord Besborough, had made every arrangement to institute a public pro secutor for the great and populous districts of Middlesex and London. He had been then told that there had existed for some time a similar officer for the West Rid- inn of Yorkshire, Northumberland, Durham, and the County Palatine of Chester. It was proposed to appoint one counsel to be always the prosecuting counsel to superintend that peculiar jurisdiction, getting up the case for trial, and also to exhibit the wisdom of giving up betimes the prosecution. Mr. HASTINGS was glad that no substantial opposition had been shown towards the report. It had been stated that reviewing the sentences of the judges would be a strange innovation, if not a step towards tyranny. Be tween the judges arid the mercy of the Crown there was at present no intermediate tribunal. It was most desira ble that something of the kind should be organised. If any man, no matter his position, abused his office, he was most properly liable to censure, and to be araigned before public opinion. Why should judges be exempted from that salutary ordeal ? Then, looking at our county and stipendiary magistracy, he need not say how much their decisions required supervision and frequent altera tion. A minister of Justice could manage these duties much more effectively than the Home Secretary. His place should be in the House of Commons, where there was greater activity than in the upper house, and a larger amount of Liberal members to support hint. The Common Law Procedure Act, now passing through Parliament, might have been rendered much more effi cient had a Minister of Justice been in existence. The CHAIRMAN asked what had been done during the present session The Common Law Procedure Bill would pass, and that was of immense importance. It would not do to underrate the amount of fusion of law and equity accomplished by its provisions, for some most important equitable powers had been given to the courts of common law. It had adopted almost all the important parts of his arbitration bill, which had been introduced last session. Again, it fundamentally em braced the Law of Evidence and Trial by Jury Bills, in troduced also by himself last year. And it provided for compulsory arbitration, and gave power to judges to order a reference. At one time he thought of inserting in the Common Law Procedure Act his clauses about bills of exchange and promissory notes. The committee, how ever, thought it better to keep his clauses separate. Then there was Mr. Craufurd's excellent bill, and Lord Harrowby's for the registration of Bills of Sale. He must add Mr. Butt's process of subpoena by leave of the judges. extending equally throughout the United Kingdom. Mr. Whiteside, too, had a bill to extend to Ireland many parts of the Common Law Procedure Act. On the whole there were no grounds for dissatis faction at the proceedings of the present session. Mr. CRAUFURD, M.P., complained of the treatment of his bill in committee. It was so changed, that he could now hardly recognize it. All the members of his committee were lawyers, and be had found them most untractable and capricious. Ho considered the legal body extremely Conservative, most unwilling to move in advance, and only doing so when they saw that they must be ridden over if they did not progress. The report was then unanimously adopted. A committee was then formed to consider the subject of private bill legislation, consisting of Messrs. Pulling, Hastings, Bullen, Allan, and Tudor. Mr. BULLEN moved for a committee to consider the treatment of offences to persons committed under the influence of intoxication, and the best mode of checking or punishing them. He thought that this came pecu liarly under the cognizance of the Law Amendment Society. A law should be framed making crime agg ra . vated, instead of being mitigated, by acts of drunken. ness. The CHAIRMAN asked Mr. Bullen heif k drunkenness t n tl magistrates acted under th e conviction that was a mitigation in punishment ? Mr. BIILLEN said no ; but most ignorant persons brought up before magistrates were of that opinion, and were always ready with that argument. Mr. CRAUFURD objected to the motion as a censure on the magistrates and judges of the land. They were amenable to the Home Secretary. The motion was virtually a fierce attack upon drunkenness, and was akin to the Maine liquor law. After some little discussion the motion was indefinitely postponed. The meeting then separated. A FEMALE PICKPOCKET.---The police have just ar rested the old es t an d mos t exper i ence d o f Parisian fe male Pickpockets— a woman nicknamed from her dex terity, the Main d'Or. A few days ago they received intelligence that several pockets had been picked at railway stations, and that the Main d'Or bad just arrive d in Paris. Thinking that she must be the author of the robberies they set a watch for her, and yesterday they saw her in the bureau of the Passy omnibuses, near the Palais Royal. She was finely dressed, but preserved an air of demure respectability. Several ladies were in the office at the time ; and the police saw her slip her hand into the pocket of a young lady and draw from it a well-filled purse. They immediately in polite terms asked her to accompany them, and they carried her off to the Prefecture of Police. Main d'Or made no at tempt to deny her guilt, but said it was her first offence, and that she had only recently arrived from Holland where her husband died a short time ago. The history of this woman is very curious. She married at the early age of fifteen, and immediately took to thieving. ; Her success was such that she and her husband lived in a fine hotel and kept a carriage and pair. After his death she lived with several eminent thieves, most of c y o e u a r r a g e she of that has con. s time L whom are no w in g aol.
