MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52 Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori nals by the closest observer ; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti cation. 52, Fleet-street. At home from 10 till 5.

Subjoined is the full text of the letter recently addressed by Prince Carl Auersperg, President of the Ministry, to Cardinal Rauscher, Archbishop of Vienna, upon the Civil Marriage question. A sum mary has been telegraphed : " Your Eminence,—l have the honour, in the name of the Emperor's Government, to reply as under to the letter bearing the signatures of 14 Austrian prelates that reached me upon the 30th ult., through your kind intervention. " The aforesaid letter points out with perfect jus tice that laws can only receive an interpre tation binding upon all classes from the legislative authority. Precisely upon that account the expla nation of the opinions from which those persons charged with the executive proceed can only prove beneficial in face of clearly present questions. The letter further directly treats of the proceedings that have taken place in the Reichsrath upon the draft of a bill referring to the marriages of Catholics, in which the opportunity was freely given for the fullest and most general debate of this highly important subject. 'This was not left unused, and his Majesty's Government also has not ab stained from publicly discussing the matter. But the time for that public discussion has now expired, so far at least as the Government is concerned, which i s i n d u t y b oun d t o o b serve th e most respectful re serve i n t h e stage o f legislative treatment into which the bill has at present passed. The Ministerial Council could therefore only be in duced by the high esteem it entertains for the dis tinguished qualifications and the elevated calling of the signitaries to that letter, to enter upon the questions which that communication rather suggests than expresses. " None of the laws existing in these countries in structs or empowers the Courts to take cognisance of questions of creed or conscience, or to assume the regulation and administration of the internal affairs of the Church. Articles 14 and 45 of the funda mental law upon the general rights of State citizens afford ample guarantees that this will also not happen at any future time. When, therefore, the Government adduced sec. 1 of the law upon the authority of the judges in support of the draft of the bill upon the marriages of Catholics discussed by the Reichsrath, its reason was because it felt convinced that in so doing it claimed nothing for the jurisdiction to be exercised in the name of the Emperor that was not within the legitimate limits of State authority. It would not, there fore, be justifiable to reproach the Government with not taking any notice of the Catholic Church and its constitution ; the Government is glad, upon the contrary, to avail itself of this oppor tunity of declaring that it not only reverences and intends to uphold the liberty of the Church, but will at all times be ready to further her beneficent operation to the extent of its power. But equally as the Government has no intention of overstepping the limits of the State power, so it can also not lend its assistance to this being done by others. It must, therefore, decline entering upon that portion of the abovenamed letter which makes the obligations im posed upon State officials by the law upon the general rights of citizens the subject of an inter pretation calculated, even although unintentionally, to lead astray their sentiment of duty. " While I request your Eminence to bring this communication under the notice of all the reverend signitaries of the afore-mentioned letter, I do not refrain from expressing a hearty wish that the united efforts of the State and ecclesiastical autho rities may succeed in strengthening in all . their organs that sentiment of duty which, removed from the contradiction between conscience and action, promotes the interests of the State in a manner truly conducive to morality. " I beg your Eminence to accept the assurance of my fullest esteem and sincere reverence. (Signed) " AUERSPERG." SINGULAR CUSTOM IN BURUAIL—A correspon dent, writing from Mandalay, describes the ceremony of "boring the ears" of the daughters of the King of Burmah, which took place there lately. The whole of the royal party were bedecked with diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and pearls. His Majesty and two of the princi pal Queens were scarcely able to walk from the weight of the ornaments on their robes. The King and the Queens were supported on either side by maids of honour of rare Burmese beauty. The orchestra was filled by some of the dancing girls, who performed on the sackbuts, drums, harps, &c. It is estimated that the whole affair will cost upwards of 10 Lacs of rupees. The gates of the palace were thrown open to all —men, women, and children—and theatrical performances went on day and night.

But the Lord Salisbury who now goes to the hereditary chamber is something more than a great peer with good abilities and a proper regard for provincial duties. He has proved himself in the Commons an orator, an administrator, and, it must be added, a thinker of the first class ; and whereas others give promise at their entrance into public life, too often falsified in after years, the new Lord Salisbury has developed a higher character for experience and familiarity With the problems of states manship than even his friends at first expected. All were assured of his ability, but few could have anticipated the breadth of view he manifested during the short time in which he controlled the destinies of the Indian Empire. His political power became even greater after he sec:•ded from Lord Derby's Cabinet. Something of his first narrowness might be traced in the pertinacity of his invective against the present Prime Minister, which, though excusably bitter, was perhaps a little out of proportion ; but the vigour and range of his intellect were manifested in so many ways as to throw this defect into the bacl:ground. It was particularly remarkable how quickly he adapted himself to the new circumstances of the question of the session. He lost no time in recrimina tions, even when he pursued Mr. Disraeli most keenly. He saw what remained to be done, and devoted himself to it with the same zeal as he brought to the earlier and deci sive conflicts. The sudden translation of such a statesman to the House of Lords must influence the course of our future political history. Hadhe remained in the Lower House he must have withdrawn, not at once, but certainly as soon as the present Ministry is displaced, a very large section of the Conservative party from their allegiance to Mr. Disraeli. It is not impossible that he would have become the Conservative leader, for he represents the sentiments and principles of the party in all their purity and strength, and with the ardour of undoubting conviction. But our Constitution does not allow a noble to renounce his privileges, and Let, like Mirabeau, to sit as a Deputy in the Tiers Etat. Mr. Disraeli is relieved of an im mediate rival in the House of Commons, without the necessity of having recourse to a Canadian Governorship. It may, however, be that Lord Salisbury has an equally distinguished career before him in the Upper House. The peers hold their principles of allegiance much more loosely than the Commons, who are kept faithful by the assiduity of prominent constituents ; and if there were sufficient reason for the attempt, Lord Salisbury and Lord Carnarvon could assault the Treasury. Bench in such force as to carry it by storm with the approbation of the majority of those who sit behind it. It is, however, of no value to obtain the predominance in the House of Lords if there be no allied body ready to fight a similar fight in the House of Commons. Lord Derby for years ruled the Upper House, but without a sufficient following in the Commons he could do nothing bat lead an Oppo sition. It is doubtful whether Lord Salisbury in the House of Lords could reckon on any efficient lieutenant in the Lower House. Persons of a speculative temperament may suggest certain names, but none of them could be promoted to the leadership of a party. There must undoubtedly be a great rupture of existing alliances immediately after the reformed Parliament is convened, if not at an earlier date, but the issue is too uncertain to warrant a conjecture as to the form in which reorganisation will be accomplished. Lord Salisbury will have no unworthy task before him, even if the dissolution of the present ties of party be delayed longer than can be deemed probable. He will find in the House of Lords " foeruen worthy of his steel," and if be brings to it rare debating power, it must still be remembered that the standard of debate is on the whole higher in the Upper House than in the Lower, and tradi tions of statesmanship linger there which are scarcely understood in the Commons. The Daily Nezcs expresses its opinion that the House of Commons loses in Lord Cranborne a statesman without the expression of whose opinions no discussion could be considered complete, and a debater who at a very early age had gradually come to take rank scarcely if at all below Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Disraeli, and Mr. Bright. He never spoke in Parliament without bringing to bear upon the topic of debate considerations-which no one could refuse to entertain who 'wished to view the subject in its completeness. The idea of confusing a question or of mystifying the House for party purposes was impossible to his clear and straightford intelli gence. Unfortunate as he must consider his brief connection with Lord Derby's Government to have been, in some respects it has been of service both to him and the country. It gave him the oppor tunity of exhibiting very unusual administrative capacity. The permanent staff of the India Office are, it is said, unanimous in their estimate of him as the ablest chief wham the fortunes of party warfare have for a generation placed at their head. Lord Cranborne would, indeed, be a greater statesman if he had a larger faith and a more genial nature. His conduct on the Reform question, though morally creditable to him, strewed an intellectual insensibility to the impulses which move men, and a want of apprehension of the living forces of society, incom patible with the highest order of statesmanship. But these, very defects have helped to bring out the pure per sonal honour and rigid, if narrow, principles of the man ; and to enforce more emphatically the lesson which a party that accepts Mr. Disraeli as its leader especially needs. The Herald declares that a man of Lord Cranborne's great energy and rare powers will exercise almost as great an influence upon the country in the Upper as be could do in the Lower House. The decay of that influence which has been noticeable in some statesmen after their elevation is due, not to the change of the place from which they speak, but to the fact that their powers were already in decay, or that their names had lost their magic. Lord Cranborne's powers have not yet reached their maturity. He grows every session, and a long and magnificent career is before him if he only chooses to run it. He has no superior in the House of Peers as a debater, and he enters at a time when the principles to which he is so firmly attached need, especially in that assembly in which they should naturally be triumphant, earnest and eloquent vin• dication. The Post remarks that in defiance of precedent Ministers will not resign. Mr. Gathorne Hardy stated in the course of the debate that in the event of being defeated on the motion for going into committee, the Government would then with unabated vigour resist the resolutions. It is certainly true that the mere act of going into committee does not pledge the House of Commons to any expression of opinion, and thus far nothing has found its way into the journals of the House of Commons which the Go . - ernruent need refuse to endorse. The House has simply decided on going into committee to consider certain Acts of Parliament which relate to the Irish Church, but non constat that it will in any manner inter; re with them. The first resolution which the committee, at the instance of Mr. Gladstone, will be called upon to accept Is to the effect that the Irish Church, as an Establishment, should cease to exist. If, as is most probable, this resolu tion is carried by a substantial majority, then indeed the time would arrive when the Ministry could no longer with any sense of self-respect retain office and seek supplies from a House of Commons whose opinions were so corn- pletely counter to their own. If, however, under Mr. Disraeli's guidance, they ventured still to maintain their position, the affirmation of the second and third resolu tions, which solicit specific action on the part of the sovereign, would place them in a dilemma from which escape would he impossible. They would be compelled either to advise her Majesty to comply with the wishes of the House of Commons, and by so doing become per sonally responsible for the first direct blow aimed at the Irish Church ; or, by counselling the Queen to refuse her assent, expose themselves to an unequivocal vote of want of confidence. The Telegraph calls attention to the Prince of Wales's visit to Ireland. " The Prince of all the Land," it says, has started to day on an errand of goodwill and kindly meaning, carrying with him to Ireland the same senti ments from the people of this country. It is the most Royal service that Royalty could possibly render; and every body must hope that bright skies and judicious arrange ments will give to the visit complete success and eclat. With the Prince of Wales goes the illustrious lady who will some day sit beside him on the throne, and whose gentle grace and beauty, seen for the first time by the mass of the Irish people, will be the pleasantest translation which could be possibly made of the desire felt from the highest to the lowest ranks, on this side of the Channel, that Erin should at last begin to be happy. Neither the Royal visitors nor any other people who are rational fancy that State progresses and pageants can supply what Ireland wants ; and we should offer a poor compliment to the sagacity and sense of our fellow-subjects if we expected them to say nothing more about disestablishment, tenant- right, and education because their Royal Highnesses were coming to see them. No Irishman will think that so childish an illusion is entertained by any person, and yet every good Irishman ought to be pleased at the visit, and do his best to meet it in the noble spirit which moves the illustrious travel lers. After a long and somewhat animated discussion, the Court of Quarter Sessions for the hundred of Salford has decided, by thirtysix votes against twenty-six, in favour of the appointment of a Roman Catholic chaplain for the new county gaol.
