THE RESEARCH.

Sir J. HAY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, if he
would state to the house whether the arrangement in the
Research, contrived by Mr Reed for carrying heavy
ordnance was satisfactory, or whether the explosion had not
been found very destructive to the ship herself.
Lord C. PAGET said that there was no doubt there was
some crockery broken in the experiments that had taken
place on board the Research, and there were some other
njuries inflicted on the vessel, but these circumstances
were attributable to the want of the necessary preparations
having been made for the experiments.
Sir J. ELP HINSTONE said that this was a question
of too much importance to be dismissed in a cursorymanner.
He contended that, from information he had received from
an officer it was clear the vessel had become unseaworthy, He
thought this was a question which the house ought to take
up. (Hear, hear.)
Lord C. PAGET said that the statement of the hon.
baronet was very much exaggerated, and the information
he received was one-sided, and he believed that there
was no material accident inflicted in the course of the ex-
periments that had been made is reference to the vessel
in question.

Sir F. Smuu said it appeared that in regard to this
vessel there had been neglect somewhere.
THE ENTERPRISE.

In reply to Mr DILLWTN,
Lord C. PAGET said that this vessel, instead of drawing
a foot more than was expected, drew an inch leas.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

Lord PAL ME riSTON moved that the house at its rising
should adjourn to Thursday next, to-morrow being the
Queen's birth day, and the day after the Derby day, when
hon. members would be better pleased to be elsewhere than
in the house. (Laughter.)
THE ARMISTICE.

Mr WHITESIDE ask3d the noble lord at the head of
the Government to supply the house with some accurate
information in reference to the decision which had been
come to by the Prussian Government relative to the forced
levies in Jutland. _ _ _

Mr. LAYARD said that on Friday
last, after he had
been asked a Aim i lar question, information from the
Prussian Ambassador had been received by tele-
gram, to the effect that in future there) would
be no forced contributions for provisions in Jutland,
but any that was required should be paid for by the sol-
diery.

Lord J. MANNERS: Has the Government received
any information that the orders issued on the 11th have
been since obey ed ?

Mr. LAYARD: We are wahing for information upon
the point, All I can say is, that we have received a dia.

TEETH.—Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following* advantages :—A set or teeth, of excellent work-

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-

SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS

TIMES.—Our recent anticipations of an important
campaign in Virginia have been confirmed by a Elle•
cession of the: most obstinate and sanguinary battles
which have signalised even this age of war. From
the 6 h to the 10th of the present month two great
armies were incessantly engaged in conflicts so
fierce as to surpass in carnage all former encoun-
ters on the same ground, and yet so indecisive as
to render it difficult to say at the present moment
to which side the balance of success inclines. In
the night of Tuesday, the 3d of May, General
Grant, the Commander-ineClaief of the Federal
armies commenced his 10E1g-expected march upon
Richmond by the passage of the river Rapidan.
'Phis operation he was allowed to accomplish with-
out interruption. General Lee, at the head of the
chief army of the Confederates, retired slowly before
him, and took up a position a little further south.
On the sth occurred some fighting, which in any
other campaign would be described as a desperate
combat, but which here shrinks into insignificance
by the side of the conflicts which followed. It was
not until the morning of Friday, the 6th, that Lee
accepted the battle to which Grant was pressing
him. Then the Federal Commander advanced and
fell upon the entire front of the Confederate line
with an onslaught as straight, as impetuous as that
of Tilly on the Swedes at Leipsie. Like Tilly,
however, he was repulsed with dreadful loss, nor
could ho by repeated assaults succeed in changing
the fortunes of the day. Se manifest, indeed, had
been his failure that in the afternoon Lee discerned
the opportunity of assuming the aggressive himself,
and advanced in his turn upon the Federals, but
without any material success till night was closing
in, when he turned the right of Grant's army and
drove it back upon the centre with a loss of nearly
7,000 men. That the advantage at tins time
rested rather with the Confederates than the
Federals is not denied, but, nevertheless, on the
night of the 6th Lee retired once more,, and took
up a new position Spottsylvania ourtehohse.
To this point Grant lost not an hour. in following
him, and, after some sharp skirmishing on Settle.n
day, he agein assailed the Confederates with unmi-
tigated fury on Sunday morning. All through that
Sabbath-day, all through Monday. and apparently

FRENCH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.

At the last sitting the Minister of Public Instruct•
tion announced that the Minister of the Imperial
Household and the Fine Arts had ordered a bust of
the late r‘l. Biot, executed by M. Lequesne, to be
placed in the Palace of the Institute. A paper was
received from M. Vionnois, describing six brick-
kilns of the Gallo-Roman period discovered at La
Roche-dtahay, in the department of Ille-et-
Vilaine. The fragments of tiles lying about suffi-
ciently prove their origin, their shape being Gallo-
Roman, and some of them even bearing the
trade mark of the brickmaker, which, however, it
has been impossible to decipher. The tiles are fiat,
40 centimetres in breadth, and two in thickness,
with lateral rims. The kilns were all alike, and one
of them is still in good preservation. It is rectan-
gular, 2.08 metres long by 1.70 in breadth ; its walls
are vertical; the fire-place is 10 centimetres deeper
than the kiln itself, and separated from it
by a floor resting on three supports, and
pierced with holes, through which the flame
penetrated between the tiles placed verti-
cally in rows, The holes near the perimeter are
wider below than above, while the contrary is the
case with those near the centre. From all this it
appears that bricks used to be burnt in kilns similar
to those now used for earthenware. 11. Garraud
communicated a method imagined by him for
preventing the terrible consequences of explosion
by fire-damp, or at least for reducing them to
mere pecuniary damage without loss of life. His
plan is to determine explosions by means of
the electric
.induction-spark of Ruhenkorff's
machine before the miners descend into the
galleries. After describing the way in which
the wires ought to be arranged, he says :
"Every day, before the miners go to their work,
several sparks must be let off in the galleries; then
if an explosion ensues the gas will be destroyed;
IF, on the contrary, after several sparks there is no
explosion, there is no reason why there should be
any with an ordinary lamp. The Perpetual Secre-
tary remarked that a similar practice had long been
in use, though not with the induction-spark; men
being sent down into the galleries with lights fixed
to long poles, They creep along, holding the lights

NATAL SUGAR.—Sugar has taken a proud position
as our largest staple. It is difficult, in the absence of
reliable statistics, to form an estimate of what the year'
crop may have 15:mu, but it cannot have fallen far short m
3,000 tons. The yield has been generally satisfactory. or
very few estates less than a ton per acre has been averaged
On many tw•o tons have been obtainel, and several field
are cited as having yielded fully three tons per acre.—Aatal

Mr. ADDERLEY asked the Vice•-President of the Com-
mittee of Council on Education what day the Government
would give him for his motion on endowed schools, the re-
turn having been presented May 12th, the necessity of
waling for which was their sole alleged ground for asking
him to postpone that motion from May 10th, on which day
that motion was to come on.

given for the discussion of this important subject, if it would
meet the views of the hon. member.

any information on the subject.

Sir E. GROGAN asked the Under Secretary of State

• _ _

lia in the same manner as the long-sentenced English

THE RESEARCH.

Sir J. HAY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, if he
would state to the house whether the arrangement in the
Research, contrived by Mr Reed for carrying heavy
ordnance was satisfactory, or whether the explosion had not
been found very
destructive to the ship herself.

Lord C. PAGET said that there was no doubt there was
some crockery broken in the experiments that had taken
place on board the Research, and there were some other
njuries inflicted on the vessel, but these circumstances
were attributable to the want of the necessary preparations
having been made for the experiments.
Sir J. ELF HINSTONE said that this was a question
of ton much importance to be dismissed in a cursorymanner.
He contended that, from information ho had received from
an officer it was clear the vessel had become unseaworthy. He
thought this was a question which the house ought to take
up. (Hear, hear.)
Lord C. PAGET said that the statement of the hon.
baronet was very much exaggerated, and the information
he received was one-sided, and he believed that there
was no material accident inflicted in the course of the ex-
periments that had been made in reference to the vessel
in question.
Sir F. SMITH said it appeared that in regard to this
vessel there had been neglect somewhere.
THE ENTERPRISE.

In reply to Mr DILLWYN,
Lord C. PAGET said that this vessel, instead of drawing
a foot more than was expected, drew an inch less.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

Lord PALMERSTON moved that the house at its rising
should adjourn to Thursday next, to-morrow being the
Queen's birth day, and the day after the Derby day, when
hon. members would be better pleased to be elsewhere than
in the house. (Laughter.)
TIIE ARMISTICE.

Mr WHITESIDE asked the noble lord at the head of
the Government to supply the house with some accurate
information in reference to the decision which had been
come to by the Prussian Government relative to the forced
levies in Jutland.
Mr. LAYARD said that on Friday last, after he had
been asked a similar question, information from the
Prussian Ambassador had been received by tele-
gram, to the eff,:et that in future there would
be *►o forced contributions for provisions in Jutland,
but any that was required should be paid for by the sol-
diery.
Lord J. MANNERS: Has the Government received
any information that the orders issued on the 11th have
been since ()be) ed ?
*Mr. LAYARD: We are waiting for information upon
the point. All I can say is, that we have received a dis-
