THE RESIGNATION OF MR. LOW.

Earl GRANVILLE announced that in consequence of
the vote in the House of Commons on Lord R. Cecil's mo-
tion on Tuesday last the Right Hon. R. Lowe had resigned
the office of Vice-President of the Council of Education.
The noble earl highly eulogised the ability of the late Minis-
ter, and observed that the educational department of the
Government had made enormous progress under his
auspices. He also remarked that the right hon. gentleman
had not been guilty of any undue interference with the
reports of the inspectors of schools.

The Earl of DERBY said he understood that a commit-
tee of the House of Commons was to be appointed to inquire
into the subject, and this appeared to him the most expedi-
ent course to be alopted.
The Union Relief Aid Acts Continuance Bill and the
Land Drainage (Provisional Orders) Bill were read a second
time.

The Vestry Cess Abolition (Ireland) Bill was read a
third time and passed.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF LORDS—This Evening,

THE BOMBARDMENT OF SONDERBO-fiG
._ _

Tile Earl of MALMESBURY asked the noble earl the
Secretary for ForeignAffaire whether he had yet received
any reliable information in reference to the repot t that
Sonderborg was bombarded without previous notice having
been given, in accordance with the ordinary uses in civil
warfare. He thought that if it was true it was the duty of
her Majesty's Govrrnment to state most distinctly its opi-
nion of the doings of the Prussian army.
Earl RUSSELL said he had not received any definite
information as yet. He expected that the reply to any
inquiries would be that her Majesty's Government had no
right to inquire into the conduct of a belligerent.

Garibaldi and the Emperor of the French,

The Earl of CLARENDON replied to the state
ments published in some of the morning papers, to the
effect that General Garibaldi had been induced to curtail
his visit to England on account of the representations that
had been made to the English Government by the French
Government. The noble earl then read the state
ment in question, and said that if there was the slightest
foundation for the statement, her Majesty's Government
would well deserve the strictures contained in the article.
He could assure their lordships that, neither directly nor
indirectly, had any representation been made to that effect
by the Emperor Napoleon, or any member of his Govern-
ment, nor was any allusion made by him (E.trl of Clarendon)
with respect to the arrival of Gen. Garibald in this country,
or to the probable time of his departure. He would not say
the subject had not been alluded to. He (the Earl of
Clarendon) had alluded to it probably in describing the en-
trance of General Garibaldi into London, and more
than likely he had mentioned the enthusiasm with
which he was received, and that the ground of
that enthusiasm was that he had risen in the estima-
tion of the people because of the great services
he had rendered his country, and because he was a brave
and honest man. (Hear, hear.) He was not betraying
any confidence, he was sure, when ho said the Emperor
fully understood and certainly believed how such qualities
as those possessed by General Garibaldi went to the Eng-
lish heart. No question or inquiry was ever made to him (the
Earl of Clarendon) upon the subject. He had not heard the
rumour of his leaving England until he had seen it in the
morning papers, and while he was addressing their lord-
ships he would simply allude to another matter, in which it
was stated in the same newspaper, and which had been put
forward elsewhere. No concessions had either been made
or asked of the French Government or of the English
Government by each other. The same desire existed on
the part of her Majesty's Government upon the all impor-
tant question that there should be a cordial understanding
as far as practicable between the two Governments.

THE PRINCESS'S THEATRE,

Mr. Westland Marston's admirable play, " P°17111:

theatre, the non-appearance of which, even for the
short time that has elapsed since its PTI

mistake. Amidst the universal approbation of the

drawn from representation; but whatever reas°-

ANOTHER NEW GUN.

The Earl of DERBY called the attention of the Secre-
tary of War to a description, which had appeared in the
Liverpool papers, of some experiments that had been made
with a gun invented by a gentleman of the name
of Mackay. The shot sent from the gun had
passed through one of the massive targets, drilling out a
piece of iron from the plate outside, and carrying it through
and casting it many yards beyond the target. The sand
upon which the shot fell showed that the spiral motion was
kept up to the last._

The Earl DE GREY and RIPON said he had sent an
officer down to Liverpool to witness the effects of the gun
in question, and a report had been received which confirmed
the principal points mentioned in the public newspapers.
The rest of the experiments made were curious and in-
teresting, and it would be advisable to make further in-
quiries as to the value of the invention. No decision had
been come to with respect to the gun, as the distance at
which the target was placed was short, but the effect of the
shot fired from the new gun had been such that further ex-
periments and trials would become necessary before he ex-
pressed a decided opinion upon it.
The Earl of HARDWICKE condemned the Armstrong
guns on board some of the ships in the royal navy, and he
considered the proceedings at Kagosima showed that these
guns were worse than useless. He advised the noble duke
the First Lord of the Admiralty to remove them, and
replace them with guns similar to those of which he was
the inventor.

The Dake of SOMERSET said he was not the inventor
of a gun. He had offered certain suggestions, and a gun
had been constructed in conformity with those suggestions.
In a short time he hoped to be able to communicate to their
lordships which was the best gun for the service, the rifled
or smooth-Lore. The ships would be armed with which-
ever gun proved to be the best.
After some further conversation the subject dropped.
4711 E STEAM RAMS.

The Earl of DERBY gave notice that on Tuesday, the
26th inst., he should call attention to the correspondence
between her Majesty's Government and Messrs. Laird of
Birkenhead, in reference to the steam rams in the Mersey.

TEETH,—Mr. ESKELL'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 a 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 in 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. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-

Literary Fund to inform you that the paragraph which
ap-
pears in this day's Athenaeum, stating that the Prince Of
\Vales will not preside at the annual dinner of the secrets
in May, is incorrect.
The error has arisen from an inadvertency in wilding fc't
insertion an old advertisement of the anniversary of Isst
year, instead of the advertisement prepared fur the ensuing
celebration. No alteration whatever has taken place in tilhd
arrangements for the dinner on the 18th of May, at wbie'y
his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will preside.--'

ACCID.ENTAL POISONINGS. The Liverpool
borough coroner sat pester thy- for the purpose of al"
cepting bail for Mr Richard Poole (assistant to Mess's. Clay
and Abraham, pharmaceutical chymists),
jury on Saturday returned a verdict of manslaughter. Pi
had caused the death of Mr John Lingard, a LivetPee
tradesman, by making up a prescription with strichnien ,
stead of James's powder. The coroner exhibited a number
of bottles (I'honger's patent), which had been forwarded to
him that morning, the object of the patent bottle being' t°
prevent accidental poisoning. The battle, or rather its label'
the coroner said had been approved by Dr. Lankesier'
whose opinion he concurred. The ordinary dispensing isbe
is suriounded by sandpaper, and a portion of the bottle
covered by the same material, which being felt by the dis-
penser or patent in handling the bottle at once shows that
it contains some dangerous preparation. At the inquest en
Saturday Mr. Bird, a Liverpool chy mist, exhibited his saletYl
poison bottles and corks to the jury and to the lnedin,
witnesses who had given evidence in the case. Mr. Bird
'"
contrivance would seem to be still more effective than that
of Mr Thouger. It consists of a stopper or cork having.
sharp, angular points, which cannot be removed without in.
dieting considerable pain upon the hand, unless the dis-
penser puts down both the dispensing glass and the tutdi-
eine bottle. By this contrivance any one using the bottle
would be so distinctly reminded that it cunt .ined poison
that a mistake could not occur even in the dark.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, APRIL 18

The Emperor of Austria has adjourned the Inter-
national Exhibition, which was to have taken place
in 1866 at Vienna. The reasons given for this step
are, firstly, bcanso the political state of affairs in
every quarter has prevented industrial develop•
meet; secondly, because Austria is in a transitory
state, as regards her general commercial policy, and
in her position towards th 9 Z3llverein; and, lastly,
on account of the International Exhibition in Paris,
which is to be held about the same time.

Riding and Grimsby Railway.
NEW WRIT—QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.

Mr. BRAND moved that a writ should issue for the elec-
tion of a member for the Borough of Merthyr Tydvil in the
room of Mr. A. Brace, who had accepted the office of Vice-
President of the Committee of the Council of Education.

Sir W. HEATHCOTE drew attention to the question of
their being five Under Secretaries of State in the house,
and moved as an amendment that the motion for a new writ
should be postponed until the constitutional question should
be decided.

Mr. HEADLAM contended that such a course would
be most inconvenient.

After some remarks from Mr. WHITESIDE,
Sir W. DUNDAS sail that if it were proved that five
under secretaries of state ought not to be members of the
house, then the last appointed under secretary (the Marquis
of Hartington) was the member who was not occupying a
place in this house according to the provisions of the sta-
tutes. (No, no.)
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the course pro-
posed by the hon. baronet (Sir W. Heathcote) was a most
unnecessary proceeding. It would be improper to postpone
a writ until after a subtle and refined discussion had taken
place on a constitutional question. He referred to a case in
point in 1808, when there wero only three Under-Secre-
taries in the house as a precedent in the present case.

Mr. DISRAELI and Sir GEORGE GREY made a few ob-
servations, and the motion was then withdrawn.

THE GOVERNMENT POLICY IN REGARD TO
THE DANISH QUESTION.

Mr. DISRAELI gave notice that when the hon. member
for Liskeard brought on his motion in regard to the policy
of the Government in regard to the hostilities between Den-
mark and the German Powers, he would move the, previ-
ous question.

The only change that has taken place in financial
affairs to-day is the increasing anxiety lest matey'
become dearer. Indeed, the commereial public are
beginning to expect that they will soon have to pay
higher terms than those now enforced if the intro-
duction of foreign loans and joint-stock enterprise
is to be kept up at its present pace. The public
are already committed to some very heavy calls for
new companies, and if some more stringent measure
be not early adopted for checking the progress with
which new companies are brought forward, the
requirements for monetary accommodation will
eventually grow to unheard-of proportions. The
rate[charged this morning for the negotation of first
class paper is 71 per cent,
FATAL ACCIDENT AT TAMWORTIL—A shocking
occurrence took place at Tamworth on Saturday.
Mr Charles Fisher, the proprietor of the paper-mill in that
town, was giving some imitructions to his workmen respect-
ing the machinery, when, his hand having touched a pulley,
it was dragged into the machinery, his atm and part of his
body following, and in a moment the unfortunate man was
torn and crushed to death. The deceased, who had resided.
in Tamworth many years, was much respected. He has
left a widow and young family.
GUN ACCIDENT.—A fatal gun accident occurred
at the village of Atocab, near York, on Friday
afternoon last. Charles Ireland, an assistant at the private
lunatic asylum of Mr S. Nelson, left a loaded gun in one of
the passages of the house, and Harriet Suter, a young
woman, the cook at the estabiishment, took up the gun, and
as she was carrying it into the kitchen she let it fall with the
butt-end on the floor, The consequmce was that the gun
went off and shot N 91son in the face, and the poor fellow
died in two or three minutes. The girl was not aware that
the gun was loaded.

Presentation to General Garibaldi,

Per Laps one of the most gratifying incidents that
took place yesterday, at the Crystal Palace, was
the presentation made to General Garibaldi bythe
Central Horticultural Society of London, of which
Mr. George Gordon, Mr. George Glenny, Mr.
Samuel Broome, of the Inner Temple Gardens;
Mr. Dale, of the Middle Temple Gardens ; Mr.
Cole, Mr. J. Crute, Mr. Wyness, of Buckingham
Palace Gardens ; Mr. Green, Mr. Cunningham, were
amongst the leading members. The present con-
sisted of two massive silver baskets, the one con-
taining the choicest flowers, and the other the
rarest fruit. Each basket bore the following inscrip-
tion:—'` Presented by the Central Horticultural
Society of London to General Garibaldi, April 18,
1864," and the appearance each presented, when
filled with their beautiful contents, was perfectly
unique. The General seemed delighted with the
present, and, on the baskets being handed to him,
he accepted them evidently with the utmost grati-
fication. The proceedings, although occupying but
a short time, seemed to give more than usual
pleasure to the General, and on the deputation
retiring, be expressed his warmest thanks to the
members of the society for their very chaste and
handsome gilt.
London, England, 1864-04-19

authorities, it would be the means of ensuring afar
greater amount of attention on the part of the heads
of establishments. They should be more particular
in their choice of assistants, and not retain in their
service those who are guilty of negligence or careless
habits. Until all those concerned in the making
up and dispensing of medicines will adopt some new
system of management, and rigidly enforce obe-
dience from all their employes, it is ;idle to
expect that any great or permanent benefit will be
gained, or any sure protection afforded to those
whose lives are at the mercy of a moment's want of
thought. Nothing can be worse than the manner
in which things are now managed in many chemist's
establishments; and, sad as it is for the individual
concerned in this painful matter at Liverpool, it is
to be trusted that this last fatal evidence of the
effects of heedlessness will prove a warning to those
who are concerned in similar avocations. The
authorities, also, should endeavour to do something
in the way of enactment, in order to prevent as
much as possible the likelihood of a similar calamity
occurring. No one oan say that there has not been
ample cause given for the introduction of a remedy
o guard against the danger and distress of the pre-
sent system.
