TEETH.—Mr. ESKRLL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in I few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents is the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Combort guaranteed. Trea-

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that FIRE Policies
which expire at Lady Day must be renewed within fifteen
days at this Office, or with Mr. SAMS, No. 1, St. James's—
street, corner of Pall-Mall ; or with the Company's Agents
throughout the Kingdom, otherwise they become void.
Application for Prospectuses and Agencies to be made to
the Secretary.

This Company is formed for t',e purpose of constructing a
Railway from Ch.asso to Biasca in the Canton of Tessin,
Switzerland, with the design of extending the line to
Lucerne, by the Alpine Pass of the St. Gothard, or to Coire
by the Pass of the i.uckmanier.
The line now to be made from Chias o to Biasca is indis-
pensable to either of these routes, it beinz the only line al-
lowed by the Swiss Government to connect the rai ways of
North Italy, the line being comparatively easy of construe-
tine, free from costly works, and promising a large traffic.
The Company has, however, secured from the Canton
Tessin, bes des the concession of the line from Chiasso to
Masco, the preferential right to construct the extension of
their line to any junction with the system of railways of
Central Europe, whether at Lucerne or at coire
i and this
peculiarly advantageous condition forms a very important
feature of the present enterprise.
A reference to the accompanying Map will show the great
importance and value of th s undertaking. The whole North
and Centre of Europe are intersected by rai.ways, uniting
France, Belgium, Holland, Prussia, Russia, North and .south
Germ any, & ; and this vast sys rem terminates sou:hwards
t two points in Switzerland—at Lucerne and at Coire. In
Southern Europe another vast net-work of railways spreads
throughout Ita y, but ceases northwards at Como, near
Chiasso, and at the Lake Slaggiore.
The line proposed by this Company will, with the contem
plated extension, effect a junction between the two systems
'ring required by the commerce of Europe, and supply an un-
broken chain of railway transit, connecting the whole Euro-
pean Contin nt, North. South, East, and West.
The country has been surveyed by experienced eneineers,
aivi the passes referred to have been found prat ic ,ble for a
ra lway.
State subventions to a very considerable amount have been
voted in aid of t e proposed Alpine Railway, which is ac-
know ed.:ed to be of the hie hest national importance to both
- wit zerls-d and Italy. Negotiations are now pend ng for
the settlement of the subventien • and contribut ons to be se-
cured to this Companmsby the Government of the Swiss Can-
tons, the Swiss Fed ral, and the I alien Governments, and
sever,' adjoin n,g railway companies, for the extension of the
line. The result of these negotiations wil determine which
of the two Alpi e passes will be adopted.
A i ailway across the Central Swiss Alps is an object of
great i.nd special importance to the commerce and prosperity
of Switzerland, as well as of Italy and South Germany, which
latter countries will be thereby brought into proximity and
direct intercommunication. The torts of Genoa, Leghorn,
and Ancona will be able to interchange supp'les with South
Germany with gr at mutual advantage—a trade from which
they are now excluded. The lines proposed in connection
with this Company, when comp eted, will carry to it a traffic
which, for m .finitude and importance, will surpass that of
many of the best continental railways. Estimates of traffic
ham been prepared from reliable sources, and their results
are of a highly encoura ing character.
By the completion of these lines, another desideratum,
directly affecting postal communications and British com-
merce, will be attained. The Over and Route to India and
China has become a subj 'et of great and increasing, interest
to England, and the means of rendering the journey more
easy and rapid is cf incalculable value. The lines proposed
by this t ompany (including the extension', will fill up the
break existing between in the tsouth ot Italy and
the English Channel, and formßrindisi an uninterruptedline of rail-
way between the Mediterranean and England, across the
Centre of Europe, so soon as the short line of about four miles
between Camt-rlata end Chlasso is completed.
The distance between the South Coast of Italy and A'ex-
andria is about 800 English miles shorter than that between
Marseilles and Alexandria, and the consequent say ng of
three days of sea navigation in the route to India and China
must make Brindisi the future landing stage for the India
mails and passengers,
A vote of 6.000,0(0 francs was pas ed on the 21d of July
last by the Italian Chamber of Deputies, and has been since
confirmed by the Senate, for the adaptation of the port of
Brindisi to the requirements of the India and China t rade.
The advantages of this new route are so evident, that this
Comnany will undoubtedly secure their share of whatever
benefit the carriage of 'he Over and India traffic may offer.
As the line horn Chias o to Biasca, which is intended to
join the Lombardo-Venetian lines, will open a direct com-
munication b- tween the most important towns of the Canton
Tessin and the railway network of Italy, connecting also the
three Lakes of Como, Lugano, and Maggiore. and as it forms
the key of the whole po•ition. the Directors have reso ved to
commence this line forthwith, pending the surveys and ne-
gotiations for determining the precise Alph.e Pass to be
finally adopted for the extension.
Responsible contrac ors have undertaken to construct and
complete the line for a sum within the amount of capital ;
and the works were commenced on the 18th of January, inthe
presence of Government officials.
Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum will be paid
to Shareholders during construction, upon the amounts from
time to time paid in respect of the r shares.
A preference will be given to the members of this Company
in the al otment of Shares for any additional capital that
may be required for in king the Extension Line, the con-
struction of which will be commenced when the negotiations
with the Swiss and Italian Governments shall have been
completed.
The Memorandum and Articles of Association, and a tr ,ns-
lation of the Concession, lie for inspection at the Temporary
Offices of the Company.
Applications for Shares must be addressed in the annexed
form, to the Directors, and conies of the Prospectus may be
obtained at the Tempor ry Offices f the Company, or at the
Offices of the Financial Corp,ration (Limited), 14, Leaden-
hall-street ; the Brokers Solicitors ; but no application
will be con- idered unless a Deposit of £1 per Share on the
number of Shares applied for has been paid.

Sir STAFFORD NORTECOTE, Bart., M.P., who
was greeted with the most enthusiastic cheers,
again and again renewed, said,—Mr. President,
Vice President, and Gentlemen,—lt is no light
burden, I can assure you that any one takes upon
himself, when he undertakes the task of responding
to "The House of Commons;" and, let me add,
that you will not make the task the easier, and my
friend Mr. Barnes has not made my task the easier,
by the warmth of the reception which you have so
kindly given to me, and by the contrast which you
make me so painfully feel between my own merits
and those which your own kindness has been so
good as to attribute to me. I can assure you that,
warm us my affections are for the county of Devon
and the city of Exeter, and rejoicing as I do now
to stand before so large an assemblage of my Con-
servative fellow-citizens, 1 shall not be wanting in
the best endeavour I can make to express my grati
tude for the distinguished honour you have done me
in associating my name with the toast just pro-
posed—(hear)—and, gentlemen, if I have no other
excuse for intruding myself upon you, I have at least
this, that 1 was charged (as Mr. Barnes told you)
with the commission to invite my friend and our
leader in the House of Commons, Mr. Disraeli, it
by possibility he could spare the time for a visit to
Devonshire in the Easter holidays to be present
this day. I executed that commission, and I have
now a note from Mr. Disraeli, a few words from
which I shall, perhaps, be allowed to read. (Ap-
plause.) It is a private note, but there is a passage
which, referring to this invitation, says, "It had
been my intention of responding more fully and
formally, but let me say, I am very sensible of the
honour they have done me. I must return to
Hughendon, which under any circumstances will
render my acceptance of the invitation impossible.
I have beard before of their great efforts and equal
hopes, the first cannot be too much praised, and the
latter I feel will be triumphant." (Loud applause.)

Mr. Disraeli is what his enemies call a sanguine
man—(laughter)—and what his friends call a mau
of great courage, and there is no man who is better
justified than he is in anticipating the triumph of
the cause with which he is connected, for there is no
man who has done so much, who has fought so gal-
lantly, and under such difficult circumstances. to
bring that cause into that proud position in which
it at present stands. (Cheers.) I cannot forget
that five years ago, or a little less, when this Par-
liament had just been called together—a Parliament
called together under the auspices of the Conserva-
tive Government which he represented in the House
of Commons—its first act was to pass a vote of cen-
sure upon the Government, and to expel it from
office. (Hear, hear.) I remember well how gloomy
the prospects of the party then appeared, because
at that moment we were a beaten party, and saw
gathering against us all the strength, all the expe-
rience, all the weight of the House of Commons ex-
cept that which was to be found in our own imme
diate ranks. We saw men of different shades o'

politics all banding together against us, and the
most formidable array of talent concentrated upon
the seats of the Treasury Bench that had ever
sat there since the earliest days, I sup-
pose, of the House of Commons, and it was
at that time the feeling of no inconsiderable
number of the members of the House of Commons
that the day of the Conservative party had gone by,
and that the section of it, at all events, which was
represented by Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli might
bid a long farewell to the position which they had
hoped to hold; bat, gentlemen, Mr. Disraeli is one
of those men who are so English that they know
not what it is to be beaten. (Hear, and applause.)
He took courage and rallied his forces—(hear, hear)
—and I think we may now turn back, and, looking
over the events of bygone years, say that he has
met his reward. (Loud cheers.) The difference
between the position which the Conservative party
holds in the House of Commons now from that which
it held five years ago is not to be measured merely
by the difference in its numbers. We have, it is
true, gained a certain number of seats, hut that is
far from representing the whole of the case. (Hear,
hear.) What we have most gained is in the tent
and the spirit which animate our party. (Hear,
and applause.) When questions of public impor-
tance are raised—when such questions for instance
as church rates and others are brought before the
House of Commons, we were in minorities of GO,
of 70, of 80, but we determined not to consider our-
selves beaten. (Hear, and applause.) We rallieo
to fight again and again, and to fight a losing game
--to run a losing race—until at last we had con
verted it into a winning one. (Tremendous cheers.)
In proportion as the Conservative power in the
House of Commons has gained so has the Ministe-
rial power declined. I know nothing more remark
able than the declension which has come over the
Ministerial party in the House of Commons since
the year 1859. (Hear, hear.) It is a subject upon
which it is impossible to speak without some feel-
ings of pain. It is impossible not to feel that there
have been losses which have been sustained, not by
the Ministerial party, but through them, and in
their ranks, by the whole country. (Hear.) It
was impossible not to feel that men have
been carried off in the prime of life to
whom we all, of whatever party and whatever
sentiments we were supposed to be, looked with
pride and respect. (Hear, hear.) And it is impos-
sible not to feel, when we look at the manner in
which those places have been filled up, and when
we see that the seats on the Treasury bench for-
merly occupied by Mr. Sidney Herbert and Sii
George Cornewall Lewis are now occupied by men
of far inferior position and in whom we can repose
far less confidenc impossible, I say, but to
feel that in proportion as the Conservatives have
gained power so the Ministerial party have lost it.
(Hear.) They have lost, not only in the number of
their supporters, not only in the importance of those
who conduct their party and who manage their
debates for them, but they have lost also in some-
thing which is still more important—they have lost
in character. (Renewed cheers.) I feel, with Mr.
Barnes, that it is not for us to speak of the members
of the Government in their individual character.
Even with regard to the public characters of many
of them I would speak with the highest respect.
But when we look at the Government who now
occupies the Treasury bench in its corporate cha-
racter—when we consider how it is made up of men
who differ from each other on principles, on funda-
mental principles, and therefore neutralise each
other, and render it impossible for the Government
to act with firmness or decision, we see at once why
it is that the Government has lost character, and
why it has lost the confidence of the country as it
has done. (Cheers.) For what great subject is
there upon which we can venture to speak of the
policy of the Palmerstonian Government ? Is it
reform ? (Loud laughter.) We are all here
amongst friends, because otherwise reform is a-word
which I understand it is not polite to mention in
their presence. (Renewed laughter.) But reform
was the great card of the liberal party—(hear, hear)
—reform was the great battle-horse upon which

they mounted to run their tilt against Lord
Derby's Government. (Hear, hear, and laughter.)
W hat has become of the great battle-horse
now ? Why it has been turned out to grass.
(Roars of laughter.) If its services should be
Again found useful it may, perhaps, be taken
up
again. But at present all he hils to do is to " rest
and b 3 th ankfdl." (Cmatinw3 laughter.) There
is their Church policy. (Hear.) Will any one tell
us what the Church policy of the present adminis-
tration is ? It seems to be summed up in this—that
they think something ought to be done, but what it
is they do not know. (Loud cheers and laughter.)
They have nothing themselves to propose, and
when questions of difficulty are proposed by others
we find one minister voting and speaking one way,
another minister voting and speaking another way,
a third conveniently absent, and. a fourth pairing
with somebody who is ill at Florence—(applause
and great laughter) ; and yet never was there a time
in which Church policy and the questions—the great
luestions—in reference to the connection of the
Church and the State deserved more anxious con-
sideration than now—(hear, hear) ; and never, I
will venture to say, was there a time at which a
ministry possessed the advantages which the pre-
sent ministry possessed. Never has a ministry had
a fairer or better opportunity of coming forward
and proposing a satisfactory settlement of questions
which it is dangerous to leave unsolved. (Hear, and
applause.) When we, by the energy of our party
and at the beck of our leader, had succeeded in con-
verting a majority of 70 to a majority in our favour,
by the casting vote of the Speaker, then was the

time when the Government, if it was really inte-
rested—and it ought to have been--in settling the
great question of church rates, which so vitally
effects the connection between Church and State ;
then was the time when the Government might
have come forward with some well-considered, well-
planned, and moderate measare for the settlement
of the difficulty—(hear, hear) ; the best of their own
supporters were anxious it should be done—(hear);
the beet of their ow❑ supporers were urging a set-
tlement of some kind, and such an opportunity pro-
bably as no Government had ever had before was
offered to them, but it was thrown aside because
they knew not how to avail themselves of it.
(Hear, hear, and applause.) Well, gentlemen,
such is the position in which they stand with regard
to domestic matters ; but perhaps it may be said we
did not think very much of their domestic policy.
(Liughter.) We did not think much of their sin-
cerity about reform, and we never had a great
opinion of them as Churchmen—(loud laughter)—
but there was one subject upon which they were

truly great—(ironical cheers)—there was one point
on which they were always able to take the advann
tage of us, and that was their foreign policy.
(Laughter and ironical cheers.) It was their foreign
policy which was flaunted in our faces at every turn.
When we ventured to criticise their policy in
domestic affairs we were told that they were, of all
men, the only men who could at once maintain the
honour of this country and settle the affairs of the
world. (Laughter.) They were possessed, if you
wou d believe them and their organs, of a marvellous
secret, of a patent invention, by which they were to
settle the affairs of Europe without any expenditure
of blood or of treasure on the part of England.
(Hear, hear, and renewed cheers.) They were in

the happy position of possessing what we may con
sider the universal medicine of England's more
influence—(laughter)—and never was there a paten
medicine of Mr. Holloway's that was more puffed or
more vaunted than this moral influence of which
hey were so proud. (Continued laughter.) Testi-
monials came from every part of the world as to its
uti,ity. (Renewed laughter.) The great cause was
Italy. We know what they did for Italy—(hear,
near)—we know it was they who gave to Victor
Emmanuel Lombardy and the Dcchies—(continued
cheers)—we know it was they who gave to him
N-Aples and Sicily—(oh, oh)—and if he had not
yet got Rome and Venice, all that was neces-
sary to ensure his gaining those desirable po3-
sessicns was that the people of England should
stand firm by the present Government, and keep
Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell in office till
he got them. (Roars of laughter.) The moral
influence of England at first went up into the
air like a bubble, and in the sunshine it re-
flected all the colours of the rainbow, but, un-
fortunately of late the bubble has bunt, and we find
ourselves in rather an unpleasant position with re-
gard to continental affairs. (Hear, hear.) Tne moral
influence of Englani was tried in the settlement of
the affairs of Poland and Denmark, and the result
is that the name of England is at this moment a
bye-word and a reproach among foreign nations.
(Hear, and cheers.) That is what we have gained
by the use of the moral influence of England—
(applause)—and that is the point upon which the
Government will have to answer to the country.
(Hear, and cheers.) Now, observe the way in which
They disguise the question that is raised and the
false issue upon which their organs put the ques•
tion. (Hear, hear.) They say that those who
object to the manner in which they have introduced
the name of England into these contests that have
been going on, that those who find fault with them
for the disgrace which we say they have brought
upon that name, are the advocates of war, and that
r hey are the opponents of the peaceful policy of the
Government. Never was an issue joined so falsely,
never was there a case in which there was a more
dishonest attempt to evade the real question at
issue. (Hear, and applause.) What we blamed
them for was not for having kept the peace, not for
having endeavoured to bring these matters to a
pacific settlement—(hear)—but we blamed them for
two things. We blamed them because they so mis-
managed their diplomatic relations with the coun-
tries of Europe, and allowed a question which ought
to have been, and which might have been settled by
peaceful and diplomatic means, to come to an open
rupture which' they ought to have prevented—
(app'ause)—and we blamed them for having made
use of bold language, and loud language, and
threatening language, without any occasion to
do so, or without any intention of following it up.
(Cheers.) It is that discrepancy, the employment
of threatening language, which they knew
they were not prepared to follow up, which
has brought us into the position in which we
not stand. (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) You
know it is impossible that these matters can at pre-
sent be discussed in Parliament as the country
might have wished they should be, because we are
all anxious that these foreign affairs should be
brought to the best and most peaceful settlement of
which they could admit. (Hear, hear.) But so
long as there is hope, the slightest hope, even at
this the eleventh hour, of a peaceful settlement being
in any way brought about, we are unwilling on our
part to disturb it by provoking a debate or intro-
ducing any new complications. (Hear, hear.) But
the time will come, whether in the form of a debate
in the House of Commons or not I do not know, but
it will certainly come, when upon the hustings of
England, and before the electoral tribunals of Eng.
land, the Government will have to render an ac-
count of the way in which they have thrown away
the influence of England, and for having brought
her name into disrepute amongst the nations of
the world—(loud cheers)—and, gentlemen,speak-
ing for the Conservative party, I will venture to
say that we care not how soon the tinge may come.
(Hear, hear, and enthusiastic applause.) We know
that it cannot be longer off than next year ; it is
probable it may be even this year—(hear)—but
whenever it does come I feel sure the Conservative
people of this country will rally round their stan-
dard—that there will be no flinching, no disunion,
no personal jealousies that will be allowed to stand
to the way—(cheers)—and if the results of the
general election should be such as the results of the
recent elections have latterly given us some reason
to hope, you will then see that the Conservative
party in this country will be placed in a position
