Everythingallowed, therefore,that neitwillbe we take considered,
t, afte
inconsider-
able triumph has, in this matter, been gained by
the advocates of the screw-propeller. Formerly
it was argued by its more obdurate opponents that
r this,
the principle of the screw, if applicable at all
to war-steamers, was not applicable to those of
any remarkable magnitude. No such erroneous
impression can be any longer entertained. It were
preposterous after the experiment with reference
to the largest man-of-war in either hemisphere.
Every one must allow that the incident here
celebrated is, for a variety of reasons, consolatory
for the past, as propitious for the future. It is
consolatory, after those repeated failures which
have so often, before now, called down odium upon
the Admiralty, and ridicule upon our Dockyards.
Lamentable though these failures undoubtedly
were, they must, nevertheless, be viewed as also,
in some sort, worthy of pleasurable remembrance.
They were the almost inevitable preliminaries to
the successes only recently recorded—preparatives
for those ulterior advantages which are the inva-
riable rewards of perseverance. They constitute,
indeed, only one more illustration of that vene-
rable and bewildering truth, the force of which
has been so universally recognised by philosophers.
Experience has grown out of disappointment, just

Experience has, in this manner, been productive of
this memorable triumph in regard to our enormous
screw three-decker the Duke of Wellington. It is
thus that we have come to look upon the proceed-
ings of last Monday afternoon at Portsmouth, in
the light of a veritable consolation. And we have
considered them, moreover, as being -not less pro-
pitious than they are undoubtedly consolatory.
They are propitious, for inasmuch as the great

THE GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE ON RAILWAYS. —Mr.
Locke, the celebrated engineer, was examined yesterday,
and gave evidence in favour of Government auditing rail-
way accounts, and superintending their management
generally.
INDIAN MARKETS.—The commercial advices by the
overland mail indicate -very little revival in the Indian
markets, although money continued sufficiently abun-
dant. In China business, both at Canton and Shanghai,
had been interrupted by holydays, which had only re-
cently terminated.

gins, and declare that 48 lashes such as are inflicted on
board a ship of war are equal in severity to at least 200
of the stripes a soldier receives from the regimental
drummers—an assertion which I am certain I shall be
borne out in by all who have had the same experience
as myself.

The power to inflict this dreadful torture—second,
only, in my opinion, to the power over a fellow-creature's
life—is assuredly too great to be confided to one man,
if it be necessary that it-should be continued at all ; but
as the punishment of the lash has been decided by such
high authorities as Lord Palmerston, &c., to be degrad-
ing and brutalising, the sooner a check is given to the
use of the cat on board our ships of war, the better.--I

—Extract of a letter from Mr. J. Hird, draper, Keady,
dated Feb. 14, 1852, to Professor Holloway :—" Sir,—
My child, when three months old, was afflicted with a
severe eruption all over her body. I sought every aid
and the advice of surgeons and physicians, by all of
whom the case was considered hopeless. I then tried
your Ointment and Pills, and without exaggeration the
effect was miraculous, for in a short time she was restored
to perfect health, and so remains. Mr. Bowden, book-
seller, Gainsborough, and myself, would be happy to
satisfy any inquiries as to the truth of this statement."

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS-(THIS EVENING.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from the
copyholders of Hampstead against the Hampstead Estate
Bill.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE gave notice that
on Thursday next he would call the attention of the
house, by moving an address to her Majesty, to the sub-
ject of a document which had lately been published ih
Europe, of great importance, and likely to bear greatly
on the aspect of affairs in Europe.

The Bishop of WINCHESTER presented a petition
against the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays.
THE BISHOP OF SALISBURY AND THE
ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONERS.

The Bishop of SALISBURY entered at some length

into a personal explanation on the subject of certain
statements lately made with regard to some arrange-
ments made by bim 16 years ago for the settlement of the
revenue of his see, charging him with selfish and avari-
cious conduct, and also with endeavouring to mislead
the commissioners as to the average income of the diocese.
The right rev. prelate went at length into figures to show
that he had acted with the greatest fairness and equity.
The object which he had in view appeared to him at the
time and appeared to him now to be just and reasonable.

HOLME RESERVOIRS (No. 2) BILL.

On the motion for the third reading of this bill,
Mr. COBDEN presented two petitions from Holm-
firth, setting out the loss of life and damage which had
been occasioned by the late casualty in the town in con-
sequence of the embankment of the reservoir giving
way, and praying that the bill be not passed into law.
The SPEAKER observed that the petitions ought to
have been presented to the. Private Bill-office.
Mr. COBDEN said he had presented them to the
house as they related to a question of public importance.
The petitions were not received.
Mr. COBDEN then moved that the bill be read a
second time this day six months, on the ground that
the reservoir was not necessary for the interests of the
manufacturers in the valley, and that it was, utterly
impossible to have it so constructed as to render it en-
tirely safe, and to relieve the minds of the inhabitants
from all anxiety. The bill was promoted by the mortga-
gees of the reservoir, through whose neglect the late fatal
accident-happened, and he believed that they would not
under this bill have sufficient funds to maintain the new
reservoir in perfect repair.
Mr. B. DENISON, as chairman of the committee to
whom tie hill was referred, said it was supported by the
majority of the millowners in the valley, and that the
committee was of opinion that it should be reported fa-
vourably to the house. A yearly inspection of the works
was required by the bill.
Viscount GODERICH supported the bill.
'Mr. LABOUCIIERE thought the house ought to
know whether the committee had specially directed
their attention to the question of public safety.
Sir J . SHELLEY also considered that the committee
ought to state whether they were satisfied that they had
taken precautions to prevent a recurrence of the
casualty.
Mr. B. DENISON explained that powers had been
given to the parties to raise an ample sum of money
yearly for the repair of the embankments and other
works.
Sir R. H. INGLIS thought that no case had been
made out for disturbing the decision of the committee.
Mr. MUNTZ supported the bill.
After some further discussion, in which Mr. Crossley,
Mr. Hume; and Mr. Floyer took part,
The house divided, when there appeared—

The bill was then read a third time and passed.
NEW WRIT.

On the motion of Mr. C. BERKELEY, a new writ
was ordered to be issued for Stroud, in the room of Lord
Moreton, now Earl of Ducie, who has been called to the
House of Peers.

ANEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.-
Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has intro-
duct(' an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICAL TEETH,
fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resem-
ble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the original by
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 roots, 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 th• lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At
home from ten till five.
London, England, 1853-06-24

in order that the heaven-born Minister should
occupy the Musnud of the MOGUL, and exercise
despotic sway over myriads of Hindoos. Liberals
are appealed to, in order that they may abandon
all their former professions, and, surrendering
their independence, become the obedient serfs
of the Minister—(and such a Minister o—ready
to register his decree, and not venturing to prefer
a remonstrance. They are even, with a puerile
attempt at intimidation, warned that the division
lists will be scrutinised, and the names of those
who dare to vote in accordance with their con-
scientious convictions held up to public reproba-
tion. • We do not desire to follow this puny
menace. We would not so far insult Hon. Gen-
tlemen, as to suppose that they would be so
unworthy of the positions in which they have
been placed by the, independent votes of duly-
qualified constituencies, as to be in any degree
influenced by such unworthy twaddle. But we
must also remind them that these votes will be
published, aye, and closely scrutinised, and that
the proof of their own independence on such an
occasion may afford a strong claim to a renewal of
confidence at a future time. It is ridiculous to
say that the postponement of the question could
lead to a change of Ministry, or even to the much-
dreaded dissolution of Parliament. Its only result
would be, the passing of a short Act, extending
the present system for one or two years, and
ensuring the calm and attentive deliberation
which our fellow-subjects in the East have a right

AUSTRIA.

The New Zurich, Gazette states from Berne, 21st, that
the authorities of Friburg had called out the Civic Guard,
as a new movement was expected. The intention of
establishing a camp at Gallerale has been abandoned for
the present. The blockade by the Austrians will, it is
said, be shortly raised, in consequence of the scarcity
which the Austrians themselves experience.
" Several foreign journals," says the Patrie, " have
announced that armaments have taken place in Austria,
in consequence of the aspect of affairs in the East. The
accounts which we have received from Vienna enable us
to affirm that the statement is entirely unfounded."
