Gabriel's productions— unparalleled in Mechanical Dentistry -the remarkable sim plicity of arrangement, together with the wonderful amount of comfort enjoyed by the wearer, as well as the perfectly indestructible nature of the materials employed, which last a lifetime, have produced a host of imitations, and the usual results in such cases. Certain persons, unable to adopt Messrs. Gabriel's Improvements, hare Imitated their After ' tisements, and adopted other methods, so as to lead the Public to believe they can supply Messrs. Gabriel's Inven tions. Messrs. Gabriel feel it a duty they owe to their to ovate that their pro , ductions can only be obtained as now Advertised. Address as under. , IMPORTANT NOTICE. MESSRS.

One set will wear longer than three ordinary ones, they act as supports to loose teeth, require no springs, wires, or metals, while for accuracy of fit, and increased amount of suc tion, they stand unrivalled. The gradual change or absorption of the Gums, the loss of Teeth or Stumps, can at any time be made good without inter fering with the stability of the case. or the convenience of .the patient, and reptires no operation.

The only new feature in the 'freight market during the past week has been an advance iy the guano freight to 655, at Which rate some ships have been chartered, but most shipowners decline to accept less than 70s, as it is probable that rate will Mixt to 'be paid to obtain the - reqlisite *Mount of tonnage. There - is no improvement in outward freights to India and China, and no anxiety for ships. Charterers will not advance their quotations, in expectation that rates will fall when tonnage becomes more plentiful. There is rather more animation in homeward chartering, from Calcutta large ships have been taken at £3 to Liverpool or London, and £5 is offered on the round to Madras. Brazilian freights are dull at our quotationa. West India trade is , brisk at good rates, but only for'sraall ships: We have no alteration to note in freights to United States ports.

The down ward tendency, however, was held in check by rumours that the Bank return would be very favourable. In the share markets prices were very fairly supported in the face of the heaviness of the funds. The discount market was very active. The rates for the best bills were 44 to 5 per cent. At the Bank of England the applications were to a heavy amount. —Daily News City Article. In the railway market a rise in the morning was not fully maintained. Lancashire and Yorkshire stock, however, was in active demand, and after marking r ! advanced to 119 to I, or a per cent. higher than yester day, leaving off at that price.

Our fears are at an end, the Prince of Wales is safely landed on his native shore ; Though hail and rain and constant eastern gales Have rendered tedious his passage o'er. Most travellers by ged cdilfess that though When starting on their voyage ail are gay, But very soon they find things somewhat slow, And strive in vain to kill each dreary day. 'Tis a hard task when in a swift "Cunarder," But in a line-of-battle ship still harder. The nliglity vessel Pitches, jumps, and rolls, Dtly dfter day, and chiefly under sail ; For such ship carries but small stock of coals, And so her screw is not of much avail.

Thdse in the "Hero" found but small relief In dinners off sell bisCuit and salt beef 4 The Prince bore his privation's like a man, And never once was heard to find a fault ; Though, as the Times' long description ran, The food was all " the saltest of th e sa l t.

NEWS OF THE DAY. ging Victor niinantiel made his entrance into Palermo on Saturday last, amidst an animint of enthu siasmtwhf flocked ec part oin ede of ihni tmo t e t population, ehiee ihtye.could, ur ,from andall hardly of thousands parts eof islandw been t h e e exceeded. It is estimated that there were not less than 400,064 persons present in Palermo on this occasion. Before alighting at the palace, his Majesty went to the cathedral, where he was received with much solemnity by the archbishop, and he afterwards gave audience to the chief constituted authorities and to deputations from the municipalities throughout Sicily. The reactionary movements in the Abruzzi, and even in the city of Naples itself, are giving fUll employment to the Picdmontese troops. These disturbances will, no donht, continue, so long as Pravda 11. occupies a foot of Neapolitan soil ; and, as a matter of course, the principal fomenters of disaffection will be found in the ranks of the priesthood, who are the Chief losers by the change, They appear still to find some amount of sympathy among the latiaroni. The news from Gaeta is down to the 27th. The fire of the besiegers had slackened, and the Neapolitans, who were tinstiteessful in occupying some commanding position in the suburbs, ate said to be entertaining the design of destroying those portions of the buildings which tslieltef the besiegers from the fire of the place. Provisions are stated to he getting dearer, and cash for the purchase of them becoming scateet, On the subject of Austrian affairs, some confirmation will be found in our telegraphic columns of what was said On this topic by our Paris correspondent in the last unmbef Of our paper. An uncomfortable feeling seems to have sprung up in Paris within the last few days regarding the moving cause in the mind of the Emperor for the legislative and ministerial reforms which he has decreed. It Is in sinuated, with some aptiearance of probability, that the step which• his astute Majesty has thus taken in a liberal direction, is with a view to enable him the better id take the initiative in an anti-liberal and anti-unitarian movement in Italy. Various circumstances are quoted as giving strength to such a supposition—such as the letter of Prince Murat, a member of his family, who again introduces himself as a claimant for the crown of Naples, which the French journals are instructed not to declare vacant so long as Francis 11. remains at Gaeta : the strange mission, never yet thoroughly penetrated, of General de Goyon to Rome, and the almost equally strange movements of Admiral d e Tinan in the roads of Gaeta : and the con fident ton e which the semi-official press continues to maintain 'on the subject of the resources of the garrison of that fou stress. But still we are not Yet prepared to accept thi s idea as the correct one. Many of the ;new ministerial appointments are quite at variance with it, and the it nportance of cultivating the alliance with England, • which would not tolerate such a reactionary policy as 0 at alluded to, is recognised in them all. The. MOFS t important item of our news to-day relatefi to the publication of the supplementary convention or treaty of commerce between our government and that of France, the ratifications of which were exchanged in Paris on Friday. The report of the Board of Trade on the subject (for which we have not at present room), appended to the treaty, shows that several articles of English manufacture formerly prohibited in France are now admitted ; such as " net of thread," "horse-hair fabrics," " cotton yarns," bleached and unbleached, coloured and uncoloured ; cotton thread, in the same con ditions; cotton net, plain or embroidered; tissues, plain or twilled ; quiltings, dimities, stripes and checks, gauzes and muslin, wholly or in part made up ; woollen yarns, in all their varieties of tetture and bolotir hosiery and pure wool, Crape, net, plaitt and dieZsed ; chloride of magnesium, liquid acetate of iron, garancine, sugar of milk, albumen, extracts of dye-woods, soap (ordinary and for perfumery), orehilla and other chemical dyes of all kinds, bottles of all shapes, glass generally, rock crystal, earthenware with coloured glaze and plain, and stone ware, and molasses. The amended tariff, under this treaty, as finally adjusted, and which is of very great importance to all the traditig interests of the com muuity, Was published simultaneously in London and in Paris Ai §aturday flight, in the Loildon Gazetth and the ironiteur. On the other side of the picture we observe it stated that the iron-clad steamship La dloire is noyi being tried against ihb Algestras, one of the finest ships in the trench navy; and as we are informed she had been at sea for five consecutive days, the rumour that she can carry only three days' coal must be unfounded. It is also said that the French Government are actually building steam ves sels at St. Cloud for the Imperial navy. They must have launched from opposite the Park a screw despatch-boat, called the Argus. She was commenced only in May last, but from 150 to 200 workmen have been con stantly employed on her, The chief novelty attached to the Argus is connected ~vith her boilers, which are *cilia) , heated by means of a jet of fire, carried into the :rater itself by means of a metal Tlie t, A i rgus, after having been ,s,tllleeted to various eiperipienit before the Minister of Marine and a body of scientific engineers will be sent to Cherbourg, there to be fitted out for sea. Although no authoritative decision has been come to, the public will easily see that the extreme sentence of the law, pronounced so feelingly by Baron Bramwell upon Anne Padfield, convicted for the murder of her child, will not be carried out. The necessity of thoroughly investigating the case submitted upon the part of the prisoner, and of consulting the judge's notes on the trial, may delay the decision as to the tommuted punishment ; but the rule amend in similar cases of sparing the life of the criminal, and attending to the recommendation of the jury, is not likely to be departed froin hi the present bash, *here the ithhapPy prisoner had more than the usual causes of excuse. In consequence of the discovery of defalcations by the late secretary of the British Empire Mutual Life Office. and exaggerated accounts having appeared in a daily paper on the subject, the directors have considered it prudent to publish the report of Messrs. Cooper Brothers; the , accountants; Who hai'e beeri employed in ilit investigation of the case, and define the amount of deficiency at £9,794. The sum recovered from the defaulter is about £6,000 in money and securities, and the balance has been provided for by life assurance. The report in a morning paper that the new copper coinage has been recalled on any ground is without foundation. The issue proceeds. WOMAN'S MISSION AND WOMAN'S RIGHTS. WOMAN'S mission and , woman's rights form one the most popular subjects of the day. It was, perhaps, the most attractive topic discussed at the late meeting of the Association for the Promotion of Social Science in Glasgow, and has since been the subject of general conversation and debate, as well as the test for iimay and varied disquisitions in our periodical literature. The known facts of the case, and the issues involved, are of the utmost interest to every member of the commu nity., An impartial consideration of the whole matter, and the formation of a just and sound opinion oti its merits ) require patient considers= tion of sothe of the fundamental laws of nature and of social economics, and affect several of the highest interests of society. It is, therefore, of the utmost consequence that the real difficulty requiring solution should be made perfectly plain and simple, and the area of discussion reduced within the smallest possible compass. We have been accustomed to various modes of treating this important subject. One class views it as a purely mercantile matter. In this light we find the employment of a greatly increased number of women in the various branches of trade warmly advocated or fiercely denounced, according to the position in business of the speaker or writer. It is observable that one set of employers, who enjoy by no means an enviable sort of notoriety, are loud in the praises of female capacity for labour. This sort of pleading is again stigmatised by almost all kinds of em ployes as merely an excuse for obtaining cheap services, regardless of other essential considera tions. Another class treats the question more as one of moral importance ; and, strange to say, this section is divided. into two parties of opposite opinions; the one holding that additional female employment is a certain cure for " the social evil"—the other maintaining the proposed remedy would only aggravate the mischief. Yet another party views this evil as one of social conse quence. From these we hear the most eloquent declamations as to the divine mission of the fair, and the usurpation of their rights by the coarser sex. To such eloquence all listen with pleasure, simply because all are ready to own the blessings women are alone calculated to confer on mankind, and to sympathise with any real or supposed evils inflicted upon them by those whom nature de signed to be their guardians and providers. The l/L11 . 7 .I.w rr La4l,a VV Ott,. “torsoc.2u a•-• one—consists in the fact that they have nothing whatever to do with the matter in dispute. Still another variety of teachers on this interesting puzzle is made up of those who insist upon woman's equal social and political rights with those of the male population. In studying this unnatural view of the solution, one is struck with the difficulty of ascertaining whether its upholders mean that men and women shall change places in the body-politic, or whether women ought to rest contented with merely a somewhat higher share of public privilege than they now enjoy. The plain and unavoidable inference from this variety of opinions and contradictoriness of conclusions is that a vast proportion of those who have undertaken to enlighten modern society upon this curious topic are not one whit wiser than — if so wise as—the great bulk of their fellows. That there is "a something" to be put right, and a way of doing it must be admitted. The first step is to define the " something " that is wrong, clearly, accu rately, and unequivocally ; and in determining the remedy we must especially beware of con founding merely temporary shifts required to meet an unusual emergency with permanent regula tions in consonance with natural laws and sound social requirements. The simple fact over which so many people are continually stumbling, as it were, in blindness, is 1 this. In our country, at least, we have got an undue proportion of women as compared with the number of the men. Tho old saying that " for every JOHN there is a JANET," has proved untrue in these lands now-a -days. After pair ing off the whole of the male and female population, there remains some five hundred thousand spinsters for whom there are no mates. The real question, therefore, may be resolved thus :—First, bow does it come that th e f ema l es are in such OICCSS of numbers ; and, second, how are these hundreds of thousands of "unprotected females" to be provided with daily bread ? As to the first enquiry it may be put in another shape, namely, w h a t has become of the fi ve h un dred thousand men who ought to have been available for the protection of the same number of women ? Has nature been at fault, and failed to bring forth the sexes in an equal ratio to each other ?—or have circumstances conspired to de stroy the males or remove them from our soil ? Then as to the second question, it is clear that its proper answer must greatly depend upon that of the former, for if the difficulty has arisen merely from certain ascertainable and exceptional cir cumstances the remedy to be applied must par take greatly of the same character, and to some extent the cure must be left to circumstances and to Nature herself. Now it is a demonstrable fact that, according to the laws of Nature, the sexes are not produced in flagrant disproportion to each other. Upon the whole, it will be found that the lava of Nature are wise, benificent and just in their operation, and that, taking the whole human race together, it is not unfairly divisible into male and fetnale. 'this is what We might expect, and exactly what we find to be true. These la' never vary essentially; and sra an inherent power of adjusting and ac c ommo d a ti ng in detail their own immediate operations to the varying circumstances of particular localities and countries' The surplus feminine population of Great Britain' therefore, arises from no vagary of Nature,--- from no capricious variation of natural law. If the masculine element is found greatly deficien t ' it must be accounted for otherwise than by Opposing that any natural law has given WO' Moreover, in whatever way we are to a ccount fee, assured the disappearance of the men, .we i ma tl f y -e - , assured that Natnie would, if tell to herself; process of time assert her ancient superioritY, and restore the due proportions of male and female. The question is thus reduced to the sma ll compass of—What has become of the men? whe re have they gone. to ? can they be followed by, or brought back to, their five hundred thousand spinateriP, left pining alone in single misery and wretchedness ? There will, of course, still remain the iiiterrogatery—lf the ladies . Will net ge el to the gentleineri, nor the gentleinen return to th e ladies, what are we to do with the unprovidea - f or remnant of female unprotectedness ? Now, it i 5 quite clear that our colonies in North America, Australia, India, and in every corner of the glob e ' as well as every other foreign country where ou r male population abounds in great numbers, ha' re to answer to out halt millidti spinsters for thei r present forlorn condition. It is equally c ertain that if the absent " lords of creationt" will 11(4 return to their deserted fellow-countrywome n ; their fellow-countrywomen must at once proceed to them—or want. Emigration, therefore, is t he first step in the cure. Let that be understood distinctly, and emphatically made known every family, and so far the remedy is f ur nished' But after all there are many who cannot or oi l not ethigrate. 'these e ve have to deg, ,v 5 must live. To live they must work. But holy. This is in reality the only difficulty in the whol e case. We have no wish to avoid the perplexity of solving it; but in. the meantime we argue that the question is only one of temporary remedy fo r a temporary evil. It is not a state of m atter s calling for a subversion of the laws and instinct' of the community. Far less does it demand th e hazarding of permanently important interests which are more than ever essential to the comfor t and well-being of society. We cannot at present offer any definitive Or positive speculations as to the most suitable rente d y for this temporary female redundancy. Wh ile feW of the schemes put forth deserve attention' there may be a little good found in all: e , tainly, one of the most novel will be found in ari , article in ,Blackwood, for thi s mon th, e ntitle' " Social Science," which proposes the formati ° of a sort of, celibate institution for women 1111° desire to follow some profitable trade, the entrance to which shall be preceded by a vow of celibacy' We content ourselves by referring our readers t ° this, upon the whole, able and well writte li paper. Be the cure what it may, if the view "' have taken is correct, it is not to be found devices for withdrawing from the domestic sphe re those upon whom ought to devolve domestic dutie s alone ; or in projects designed chiefly for the lin r pose of bringing cheap female labour into righteous competition with educated and traine d men. If we were to offer an opinion, we migh t briefly say that we cannot help appreciating CrtisHoLm's efforts in preference to the, no doub t ' well meant enterprise of Miss EMILY FAITHrt7I/ THE EMPRESS EIT GEO AT LEAMINGTON. The Empress of the French arrived at Leaminel on Saturday, at h a lf-p as t f our o ' c l oc k . Ab ou t two o'clock Mr. Weston, the station master, received 7 telegraphic despatch that the Empress would arrive!" the hour mentioned, and every suitable preparation °l ° at once made to receiv e th e ro y a l v i s i tor.

The pa!), ment opposite the hotel and the hall was covered No crimson cloth. The excellent arrangements which vi'e , `" made at the station, under the direction of Mr. IVesto , afforded an opportunity for the public to see her Afajesl without subjecting her to the slightest inconvenience. 2 6 detachment of the police force was present, under th at superintendence of Mr. Lund. Shortly after the arrig of her Majesty the bells of the parish church rang' evening presented an extremely animated appearan., Some of the principal inhabitants evinced a desr ° that there should be some official recognition of tv_ t visit of the Empress, but an intimation was given fi r , the visit was of a strictly private character.
