}VER. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introluced an entirely new description of ARTI-
FICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest ebserver; 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 support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-42, Fleet-street. At
home from ten till five.

COLLISION, AND SINKING OF A VESSEL AT SEA. The
total loss of the ship Planet, Captain Buckbam, while on
her voyage from China for London, has been reported at
Lloyd's. The disaster occurred by the unfortunate vessel
coming in contact with a large brig (name unknown) on
Saturday, at 11 p.m., about 18 miles N.E. by E. from
Beachy Head, and, such was the violence of the con-
cussion, the Planet sank a short time afterwards, hardly
leaving the crew time to escape in the boats. Under
these circumstances they were soon after discovered by
the ship Margaret, of Liverpool, and by the instrumen-
tality of the captain and crew of that vessel were safely
landed at Portsmouth on Sunday evening. The cargo
of the lost vessel consi,ted principally of silk and tea,
and the total loss must be very considerable. The fate
of the brig is not referred to in the accounts.

THE CRIMEAN COMMISSIONERS.

Mr. LAYARD called the attention of the Govern-
ment t ) the report of thaeßoard of General Officers, in
reftrence to tho Crimeati Commissioners' report, and
asked if tiro Government was satisfied with that re-
port, and considered it did justice to thoso brave
and devoted men who had suffered in the Crimea, and
had died there and at Scutari ' • and also if the Govern-
ment were willing to accept the uncalled-for opinion of
the Board of General Officers, that her Majesty is ad-
vised not to take any further proceedings thereon.
(Hear' hear.)
Lord PALMERSTON said that the Board of Gene-
ral Officers alluded to was not appointed to inquire into
the report of the commissioners, but to receive explana-
tions from certain officers who considered their conduct
had been brought into question by certain portions of
that report. It was to admit their exculpation, and not
for investigating into the report, that the 2ommission
was appointed. The hon. gentleman had-read-the report,-
but had he read the evidence on which it was founded
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. LAYARD—Yes, (Hear, kear.)
Lord PALMERSTON—Then he was entitled to form
an opinion on it, which was probably gore than others
were. He apprehended it was not the intention of
her Majesty's Government to found any further pro-
ceedings thereon. (Hear, hear.) •
The orders of the day were then proceeded with to
allow several bills set down for third reading to pass
the laluse, and be taken tsl the House of Lords before
that 'voice adjourned.
Lord PALMERSTON said that as soon as those bills
were got rid of he would move the suspension o the
other orders, that the right hop. merriber (Mr, Disraeli)

DTJBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING.
THE FLETIT AT QUEENSTOWN.
The following aren.ouncement of the departur3 of
the naval squairou at Queenstown appears in the
Cork Constitatio m of yesterday morisiit4
" Yesterday it was currently stated in Cork and Queens-
town that orderA -11:,d been received be the officers in com-
mand of her M edesty's ships Duke of Wellington, Conque-
ror, Forth, Mc,hawk, and Lapwing to get everything in
readiness for immediate departure. This intelligence,
which create much disappointment, is corrett. The ves-
sels take tireir departure from Queenstown harbour early
this morni ag. Tnhir destination is not known with cer-
tainty, o'.ie rumour fixing it at the Clyde, while some per-
sons assert that the vessels are to proceed to Bantry Bay,
,to retnr,in on the Irish coast for some weeks during the
summer and autumn."

MR. JUSTICE KEOGH.
gale joint efforts of the two extreme politico -
religious parties in Ireland to raise a cry against the
elevation of Mr. Keogh to the judicial bench have
been from first to last a most decided failure, and.
the malcontents must turn to some other quarter
for more tangible capital to carry on the trade of
misrepresentation. The record and special jurors of
the county of Mayo, consisting of men of all shades
of creed and politics, have unanimously signed an
address to the learned Judge congratulating him
upon his promotion and presence among them, and
a similar mark of respect has been paid him by the
graiid jury of the town of Galway, the birthplace
of Mr. Keogh.

MR. SMITH O'BRIEN.
A letter addressed by Mr. Smith O'Brien to a
parish priest in the county of Clare is confirma-
tory of the reported intention of the former gen-
tleman to take no part in public affairs at pre-
sent :

"For a variety of reasons (he says), which it is not ne-
cessary now trs„reeapitulate, I am desirous at present to
,avoid public inaetings. I must therefore ontreat you to
abandon your intention of bringing to Dromoland, on Sun-
day next, yon warm-hearted flack, and hope that they
will be satis ied to au;opt in 16u of a personal in7erview
this exprea&i• n of my thanks for tha proposed demonstra
tiou of their attachment."

ASTLEY'S BATTLE OF THE ALMA.

. _
Mr. William Cooke has revived the memorable spec-
tacle of the "Battle of the Alma," chiefly for the pur-
pose of affording the brave Guards recently returned an
opportunity of witnessing incontestibly the greatest mill.- •
tau. sweacle'ever-prAlticed, atur that grattiitbusly. A
number of the men from each battalion visit the'amplii-
theatre nightly, and it is highly entertaining to the
geneiat auditor to see the wan-tore of our country be-
holding upon the stage their identical companions in the
terrible fray, fighting the battle o'er again—to see the
enthusiasm gith which they hail their actual comrades ;
and each well-known incident of the war is as pleasing
as it is siutstirring and exhi!arating to the audience.
The spectacle will shortly be withdrawn. In the mean-
tin e we advise every patriotic heart to go and see the
enttrainments at the amphitheatre, and we are confident
they will afford every loyal breast utimingled satisfac-
tion.

OFFICIAL PATENTS.

Mr. MURROUGII oAked the Chancellor of the Es--
chequer whether the opinion of the law officers of tl e
Crown had been given respecting the new practice of
Secretaries of State not cAupletrng their patents, and
thus escaping the payment of stamp duty on appoint-
ments under the Crown; if so, whether that opinion could
be laid on the table of the house ; also, whether, for
,the future, persons appointed t,) the offices of Ctiief
Secretaries of State would be required to follow the old
custom of taking' out their patents ? . •
The CLIA.NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that the usual precedents in this case would be fol-
lowed. It was the intention of the Secretary of State,
who hail not taken out patents, to do so. He de-
clined laying on tile table of the house the opinions
of the law officers of the Crown on the subject, it being
unusual.

CAPTAIN FRASER.

The Earl of DALKEITH caked the attention of the
house to the case of Captain Fraser, late adjutant of the
Ross-shire Rifles Militia, who had been deprived of his
commission fur an alleged breach of military discipline
without a court-martial. He moved for the copies of
the correspondence.
GENERAL BEATSON.

Mr. ROEBUCK called the attention of the house' to
what he called a mis-statement by Lord Paltweratoa and
Mr. Peel during the debate on General Bentsen, that
the charges were then hanging over his head, when in
reality a letter had been written st that time, exonerat-
ing General Beatson of the charges alleged against him.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
the papers referred to by the Earl of Dalkeith could not
be granted on the motion of adjournment, but if he
mentioned the subject again on Tuesday, the Under.
Secretary for War would give an explanation of the.
case. With regard to General Beatson, he must' also
ask the bon. and learned member to renew his state-
ments on that day.
The motion was then agreed to.
CONSUL MATTHEIO.

Mr. GLADSTONE explained that be had no inters•
tion, in his speech on the debate on the American enlist
meat question, to state anything disrespectful of this
gentleman in any manner. He always looked upon
him as a gentleman carrying out the instructions of his
superiors, and that his statements were entitled to full
credence.

A. letter addressed by Mr. Smith O'Brien to a

"For a variety of reasons (he says), which it is not ne-

avoid public meetings. I must therefore entreat you to

SATURDAY SITTING.

On the motion of-Sir G. GREY it was agreed that
the house meet to-morrow at 12 o'clock for the reception
of bills from the other house.

THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.

Mr. H. G. LA.NGTON asked whether it wag in•
tended, previously to their entering upon the service,
to test the speed, of the steam, vessels proposed to be
employed under a recent contract in the conveyance of
the Australian mails, seeing that by the copies of the
tenders now before the house the time occupied by the
voyage from Suez to Melbourne will require a speed of
11 or 114 knots an hour, whoreas the vessels tendered
for the performance of the duty are set down at a speel
of 9f knots per hour only I

Mr. WILSON said it was'not intended to test the
speed of the vessels. The parties bad bowl themselves
in very heavy penalties for the performance.of the con-
tract at a certain rate of speed, and it had been intimated
to them that those penalties, in the event of their non-
performance, would most certainly not be relinquished,
It was therefore, he apprishen&d, for the parties them-
selves to ascertain the speed of the vessels it was in-
tended to employ in the service. .

Mr. H. G. L _INGTON asked the Secretary to the
Treasury whether, in order to ensure the regular per-
formance of the contract for conveying the mails be-
tween Suez and Australia, any clause will be introduced
by which the contract will be f()rfeited is the event of
the service not being performed within the maximum
number of days tendered for, viz, 39 days outwards,
and 35 days homeward ?

Mr. WILSON said that if the contract was not per-
formed within the time specified the contractors would
be liable to heavy penalties; but there would be a general
clause inserted in the contract, the same as in all
others, that it would be put an end to by the Govern-
ment at any time they may be-dissatisfied with the per-
formance of it by, the contractors.
