ANEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.-
Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon• Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has intro-
duced an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of A.RTIFICAL TEETH,
fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resem-
ble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the original be
the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method
does not require the extraction of rests, or any painful operation,
and will give support and preserve teeth that are loose, and are
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical,
he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At
home from ten till five.

* EXIMPLE.—At the commencement of the year 1841 a person aged
thirty took out a Policy for 1,0001., the Annual Payment for which
Is 241. Is. Bd.; in 1847 he had paid in Premiums 168/. 1 Is. Bd. ; but
the profits being 2 per cent. per annum on the sum insured (which
is 221. 10s. per annum for each 1,0001.), he had 1571. 10s. added to the
Policy, almost as much as the Premiums paid.
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid fur the lirst live years when the In-
surance is for Life.

IMPE RI A L PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack at five o'clock.

Lord BEAUMONT gave notice that, on Friday, he
would call attention to a treaty concluded relative to
the succession to the Crown of Denmark,

The Earl of MALMESBURY gave notice that, on
Friday, lie would put a question to the Foreign Secre-
tary as to the negociation going on between Russia and
Turkey.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH gave notice that on
the 6th of June, in moving for correspondence he would
comment on the measure which was to be introduced on
the 3d of June, in the other house, for the government
of India.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Sir A.
Stewart, complaining of the depreciation of property in
the West Indies. The noble and learned lord touched
at some length on recent colonial legislation, and also
animadverted very severely on the attempts lately
brought to light to introduce slaves on the coast of
Cuba. He concluded by asking the Government whether
they were aware to whom the blame of these proceedings
was to be attributed ?

The Earl of CLARENDON said he was sorry to say
that the slave trade was carried on to a considerable ex-
tent in Cuba, and that, although our Consul-General at
the Havannah was indefatigable in his efforts to bring
these proceedings to light, he was, owing to the peculiar
laws of Cuba on the subject, unable always to suc-
ceed. He could, however, assure the noble and
learned • lord that no endeavour on the part of
the Government would be spared to put an end to the
traffic. The Spanish Government had recently given
the most solemn assurances that the treaties should be
rigorously adhered to.
After a few words from Lord BEOUGHAM and Lord
WHARNCLIFFE, the subject dropped.

be sent up a chimney to extricate a machine, though
it was unlawful to employ him in sweeping it ; but
the bill of the noble earl proposed that nobody under
16 should be employed to assist a master chimney-
sweep within any house. (Hear, hear.) By such an
enactment they would embarrass the trade, without
doing any real good. (Hear.) He hoped, therefore,
the noble earl would take further time to consider this
question, and when he had produced a, measure really
calculated to remove the abuses that now' existed, he
would find no more earnest supporter than himself.
The Earl of WICKLOW concurred very much in the
views taken upon this subject by the noble lord below
him (Lord Beaumont). The noble earl had given no good
and definite reason why this measure should be carried
into effect. The only reason he gave fur it was, that the
late act was evaded by boys being smuggled into houses
as persons carrying bags or brushes, and then by stealth
put up the chimney ; but the law as it stood was so strin-
gent, that it was almost impossible it could be evaded in
this way, The act was not evaded in London, because
the 'penalties were well known there, and if the noble
earl would only circulate bills to let the people in the
country generally know what the penalties were, as little
evasion would take place in country districts. He, there-
fore. looked upon this as a useless piece of legislation.
The noble earl (Panmure) said the law interfered for
the protection of children. That was true, but the law
did not prevent them entering into a trade under 16. If
this bill passed, there would be a penalty imposed on a
chimney-sweeper for taking his own son to assist him in
his trade. (Hear, hear.)

The Duke of ARGYLL said, the chief argument in
favour of this bill was the fact, that the former act to
prevent children being employed in chimney-sweeping
was evaded. It was notorious that such evasion took
place, and therefore they were called upon to prevent it.
Of course, if any noble lords were of opinion that the for-
mer act was a bad act, he could understand their opposi-
tiott to the present bill, but those who approved of the
first act ought to approve of the present also. (Hear.)
The noble earl (Wicklow) said that the Legislature, in
interfering in the case of children, never prevented their
entering a trade ; but, to make his observation applica-
ble to the present case, everything depended upon what
he meant as the trade of chimney-sweeping. The bill
before their lordships prevented young persons being
employed " within any house,"—these words having
been added to the bill by the noble earl. It was plain,
therefore, that children might be employed out of doors.
Lord MONTEAGLE said, the bill prevented any per-
son under 16 years of age from using the trade of a
chimney-sweeper within any house. Now, by a stand-
ing order of their lordships, it was provided that no bill
for "regulating the conduct of any trade," or " altering
the laws of apprenticeship," should be read a second time
till a select committee should have considered and re-
ported on the expediency or inexpediency of the house
proceeding to take the matter into consideration. The
object of this order was clearly to prevent hasty legisla-
tion on these matters, and he believed it was impossible
for any bill to come more distinctly under its provisions
than the present. He therefore called upon their lord-
ships to enforce their standing order in this case. (Hear.)
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY might not have been
sufficiently acquainted with the orders of their lordships'
house ' • but, as to the merits of this question, nothing
should ever induce him to recede from the position
which he had taken up. (Hear.) With regard to the ob-
servations of the noble baron opposite (Lord Beaumont),
who had spoken with so much force against legisla-
tion upon this matter, he could only say that he trusted
in God lie should ever fall under his censure, and under
the censure of all those who, with him, could apply to
the course he had taken a charge of cant and miserable
legislation. He rejoiced in the observation the noble
lord had made, and be rejoiced that the noble lord had
nothing more tangible to bring against the measure which
he had introduced to their lordships' notice. (Hear,
bear.) The noble lord bad told them that the act Of
1840 had produced no good whatever. Now he had
great reason to complain that he and other noble lords
rose to make statements upon this subject while they
were not able to corroborate. Having no knowledge of
the class of which they spoke, not having given them-
selves the trouble to inquire personally among the people
themselves, to perambulate the streets in which they
lived, and to go into the dens of human misery where
they were to be found, they nevertheless came before
their lordships and affirmed that the late act had pro-
duced no beneficial effects whatever. Now, he totally
denied the statement of the noble lord. He could pro-
duce the most convincing testimony to show that consi-
derable advantages had arisen from that act ; that there
were hundreds and thousands of children, who, but for
that act, would have been employed in this disgusting
and degrading occupation, now engaged, after being
educated in trades and occupations that were worthy of
the dignity of free men and the privileges of a Christian
people. (Hear, hear.) It seemed to be thought that
the sweeping-machines and the system of chimney-
doors could not be used except at great expense, and
without breaking the ornamental parts of drawing-
rooms ; but the fact was, they could be constructed
at a very small cost indeed, and if they prevented alto-
gether the occupation of climbing boys, these chimney
doors would be universally used, for here was not a
house in any part of the kingdom, however old it might
be, where they could not be erected at a small expense.
The noble lord said that fires had greatly increased in
conseqience. [Lord Beaumont dissented.] Did the
noble lord now repeat to the house the assertion that,
in consequence of the act of 1840, fires had occurred or
increased ? If not, the noble lord had, in his place in
Parliament, without inquiring, and with the view of
exciting a feeling against this act, and to induce their
lordships to throw out the present measure, made a very
wide and untenable statement.

Lord BEAUMONT explaine3, that he had made in-
quiry as to the truth of the facts to which he referred.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY expressed a hope that
their lordships would not take on themselves the re-
sponsibility of defeating a measure intended to remedy a
condition worse, if possible, than that of slavery.
The Earl of ABERDEEN entered fully into the feel-
ing which animated the noble earl on this subject. At
the same time he would recommend the noble earl, with
a view to maintaining the regularity of their proceed-
ings in that house, to allow the bill to be referred to a
select committee. It was understood that the commit-
tee would not enter into any further inquiry, and there-
fore the reference would cause no material delay.
After a short conversation on the point of form, in
which the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, Lord PAN3fURE,
and the Earl of WICKLOW participated,
The bill was referred to a select committee.
