scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction o: roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that aro loose, and is gua-

RIVAL PREACHERS.

An extraordinary scene was witnessed in the Market.
square at Nottingham on Sunday evening. Mrs. H. Law, a
lady who professes herself a free thinker, addressed a con-
gregation of upwards of three thousand persons, de•
nouncing in vehement terms all forms of religion and
creeds. Mr. Dupe, " a converted butcher," who is
the leader of a sect of Christians having a " conventicle " in
Canaan-street, got on a cab and called upon his followers,
who had mustered in great force, for a hymn. The call
was responded to, and the free-thinking lady's voice was
drowned for a few minutes. Three other preachers
obands around the cab from which
the lady was speaking, and the din was lite-
rally deafening. Some of the Canaanites collected a
quantity of cabbage heads, and one was flung at
Mrs. Law with so true an aim that she only escaped
being knocked out of her cab by dropping her
head. Two well-defined hostile parties were now
drawn up. The lady's supporters seemed more
numerous than her opponents, and each seemed
equally determined on a fight, when the mayor,
with a body of police, appeared on the scene, and com-
pelled the crowd to disperse. The lady freethinker, not
to be defeated, repaired to the new market in Burton
Leys, where she preached upon the French Revolution as
a noble attempt to enfranchise the mind of man, until a
smart shower dispersed her congregation.

THE INCOME TAX.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to
Mr. Miller, said he had discovered the memorial to which
reference had been made the other evening. It had bean
sent by mistake to the inland Revenue Office. With ro-
spect to its prayer, altering the day for collecting the tar,
there would be great inconvenience if the day originally
fixed was altered, and on the other hand it was said great
inconvenience would arise if it was not altered. However,
it seemed to him that the lesser inconvenience would be
caused if the original arrangement was adhered to, and
therefore he thought it best to let matters remain as they
stood.

111FERIAL PARLIAMENT

...-
HOUSE OF LORDS.—Tits EVENING.

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

LODGERS' PROPERTY PROTECTION BILL.

The Marquis of TOWNSHEND moved th 3 second
reading of this bill, the object of which was to protect
the property of lodgers from being taken for any de-
fault in payment of rent or taxes by the landlord. The
noble marquis said it was a great hardship upon the
lodger that his goods should ever be seized for non-pay-
ment by a superior landlord. One t f the proposals of the
bill was that on the lodger procuring a certificate from a
magistrate that the goods represented were his property,
and that they should thereupon be secure against the
claims of the superior landlord.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said the bill dealt with a
power that had been experienced by the landlord from re-
motest time. The subject was one that ought not to be
lightly treated, and he was sure present bill was not at all
calculated to effect the object in view.
The noble lord, finding the measure opposed by the
Lord Chancellor, at onco withdrew it.
Lord ROSSIE moved for a report of the proceedings
taken with respect to the death of Mr. Lisle on the North
British Railway.
The report was ordered, and their lordships shortly
afterwards adjourned.

THE NEW LAW COURTS.

Mr. CRAUFIIRD wished to know if the right hen.
gentleman the First Commissioner of Works would state
how much the new proposition would cost, and at what
hour he would bring his motion forward?
Mr. LAYARD said he would be prepared at the proper
time with the details of tho motion; but with respect to
the hour at which the motion would be submitted to this
house, that of course would depend on the motion of the
hon. member opposite (Mr. Corrance).

In reply to an Hon. Member,
Mr. GLADSTONE said it would be of the highest im-
portance to proceed with the bill as rapidly as possible,
but he would rather not pledge himself to any particular
arrangement until after the morning sitting to-morrow.
PAUPERISM AND VAGRANCY IN ENGLAND.
Mr. CORRANCE then rose and called the attention of

THE ALABAMA DISPUTE.

Despatches from the British Government have been
received by our Minister at Washington, Mr. Thornton,
since the rejection of the Alabama Treaty ty the Senate.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger says that Mr. Thornton,
in a recent conversation on the subject, indicated that any
further negotiations would have to be opened by tha
Government of the United States. This seems to be
regarded as the tenour of the instructions received by Mr.
Thornton.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 11, 1869.

Confusion worse confounded is all that can as yet
be said in regard to the last addition to the list of
rival plans for the New Courts of Law. Three
courses are still before us—and from those three
propositions we have yet to make our selection. It
is still an alternative as to whether the Palace of
Justice, or whatever else the structure is to be called,
shall stand to the North or to the South of the
Strand—upon the Carey-street site or upon one or
the other of the two sites proposed to be
chosen by preference on the Thames Embank-
ment. Economy is the chief plea in favour of
the third arrangement—the one introduced
last night, virtually at the Eleventh hour, by the
Chief Commissioner or Public Works. But that
economy is obviously secured through the medium of
two very glaring, and by no means attractive sacri-
fices. First of all, the Strand frontage is to be alto-
gether foregone. A back street is to be the northern
boundary of the site originally indicated a few weeks
sicce by the Chancellor cf the Exchequer. Howard-
street, or at any rate the northern side of that street,
is to be the screen behind which the frontage of the
design of the New Law Courts on that si le
:hall be hidden away from public view. 'thereby the
architect will be enabled to devote his energies to the
consideration of the ornamental design of the lac ide
of the Palace Justice! on the southern or river side,
the side looking directly on the Thames Embank-
ment. Very much in the mine way, it strikes us, as
Mrs. CRUPP was enablel to direct all her attention
to the cooking of the potAtoes upon the occasion of
the memorable dinner given to STEERFORTH and his
companions by DAVID CorrEarIELD. Looking to
the mere figures we can certainly have hardly a word to
London, England, 1869-05-11

13ELGIIIIi.

The Belgian Cabinet is in difficulties. M. Bara, the
Minister of Justice, recently resigned, not on account of
the railway dispute, but because the Senate passed a law
abolishing imprisonment for debt. This, says the
correspondent- of the Herald, has caused serious embar-
rassment to the Ministry. A crisis is possible, unless
M. Barn will withdraw his resignation, and this he de-
clines to do, unless the Senate, which has shewn personal
hostility to him, be dissolved.

LIFE PEERAGES

Earl Russell proposes to alter his Life Peerages Bill in
committee. He will move that the description of the
classes of persons from whom peers for life are to be selected
be struck out, and that the recital stand as follows:
" Whereas it is expedient that peers created for life on
account of their eminent merits or distinguished services to
their country, should in limited number be entitled to sit and
vote in the House of Lords." Lord Cairns, assenting to
the description of classes being struck out, proposes the
following recital :—" Whereas it is expedient to afford,
under certain restrictions, facilities for the introduction into
the House of Lords of persons distinguished in the services
of the State, or who from their attainments or official
position are likely to add weight to the deliberations of
the House, and who may not be desirous to undertake the
burden of an hereditary peerage." Lord Cairns, also.
instead of allowing four such creations in a year until there
are twenty-eight in existence, proposes that after one such
peerage shall have been created in any year, no other such
peerage shall be created in the same year, unless the person
to whom the same is granted shall at the date of the patent
hold one of the following offices : —Lord Chancellor of
Great Britain, Secretary of State, President of the
Council, Board of Trade, or Poor - law Board, Post-
master-G eneral, or Chancellor of the Duchy of Lan-
caster.

THE GREENWICH _ELECTIO.LV.

In the case of "Letts v. Carttar," before Mr. Baron
Channell and a common jury, in the Court of
Exchequer, the well-known publisher of " Letts's Diaries,"
carrying on business at the Royal Exchange and New-
cross, sued the defendant, a solicitor at Greenwich,
and coroner for Kent, to recover £ll2 4s. 4d., being the
balance of an account for printing and stationery in con-
nection with the candidatures of Viscount Mahon and Sir
Henry Parker for Greenwich at the last election. The only
question was whether the debt was incurred by Mr.
Carttar personally, or as agent for the Central Conservative
Committee for conducting the election. In the course of
the trial it transpired that Lord Mahon had offered to
pay the money, but refused to pay the costs. Mr.
Baron Channell said as the case was by no means free from
doubt, and as he was not sure that he ought not to nonsuit
the plaintiff, he thought the plaintiff would be wise if he
accepted that offer. Mr. Seymoursaid his client thought that
the defendant ought to pay half the costs. Mr. Baron
Channel : " I cannot ask the defendant to do that."
Ultimately a cheque for £ll2 4s. 4d. was handed over
to the plaintiff in satisfacticn of his claim, and the jury
by consent were discharged.

THE CHIEF CONSTABLE OF BIRKEN-
HEAD CHARGED WITH FORGERY,

On Monday, at the Mansion House, Major Frederick
Beswick, the chief constable of Birkenhead, was brought
before the Lord Mayor on a warrant, in custody of Detec-
tive-sergeant Webb, charged at the instance of the
Governor and Company of the Bank of England with
forging and uttering on the 24th February last a power of
attorney to transfer a share and interest in stock then
transferable at the Bank of England, to the amount of
£4,216 13s. 4d., Three per Cent. Consols, standing in the
names of Henry Thomas Maxted and Frederick Beswick
in the Bank books with intent to defraud.
It appeared that the stock was a trust fund left by a
Miss Candy, of Gibraltar, and in the month of
March last the prisoner obtained a power of attorney
for the transfer of a portion of it, which purported to be
signed by himself and Mr. Maxted, who resides at Gib-
raltar, but on the usual notices being sent out by the Bank
a correspondence took place with Maxted which resulted
in the apprehension of the prisoner on Saturday. Some
preliminary evidence having been given the prisoner was
remanded. Bail was refused.

Mr. BRIGHt, in reply to Mr. Candlish, kiaii it watt
truo certain distinctions were at present made, with respect
to the payment of pilotage dues, but it was proposed on
the Merchant Shipping Act to consider the subject wit tt
a view of ascertaining whether the distinction cannot be
removed.

THE CASE OF MR. GREEN.

Mr. MONSELL said the matter relative to Mr. Green,
who had been colonial chaplain for many years, D.
Colenso, and Dr. Gray, being in a very complicated state,
the noble lord at the head of the Colonial Department
would consult the law officers of the Crown before taking
steps in the matter.
THE PATRIOTIC FUND.

Mr. CARDWELL said the patriotic fund commissioners
reported through the Secretary for War, and when th,ir
report of the matters they had Leen investigating
was complete, it would, of course, be sent to the
Secretary for War, and he would at once produce
it if it was requisite. With respect to the defalcation,
which amountad to between X2OO and 150, directions
kad been given to prosecute the clerk who was charged
with the defalcation.
THE EDMUNDS' SCANDAL.

Mr. AYRTON, in reply to Mr. Bentinck, said that Mr.
Edmunds had transmited a book purporting to be a history
of the Edmunds' scandal to the Treasury, with a desire
that the document might be recorded, but the Treasury
was not the department charged with the duty of recor l-
ing. If Mr. Edmunds desired to have his history recorded
he had better find out some other chancel than the Trea-
sury.

Mr. BENTINCK gave notice of his intention on an early
day of calling attention to the subject, and concluding Lis
statement with a motion.

CRIME IN IRELAND.

Mr. C. FORTESCITE, in reply to Lord 'Tom lisnirits,
said there was no possible effort or exertion that was not
being taken to put down the shocking state of things that
disgraced certain parts of Ireland. With respect to legis-
lative measures, the subject was surrounded with, enormous
difficulties, arising principally from the difficulty of procur-
ing the evident* to insure a conviction. He could assure
the noble lord the Government were using every means in
their power to meet the evil, and, amongst other things,
they were considering the best mode of rendering the
power of the Lord-Lieutenant more extensive an
effectual.

FORtIGN NOTES.

TILE ISIEELLISTS IN SPAIN.

Our Rome correspondent has received letters froze
Spain stating that the partisans of Queen Isabella are
beginning to find the cause of their royal mistress quite
hopeless. Isabellaherself is utterly discouraged. Eer agents
have travelled the country through, and have spent la'ge
sums of money in attempting to get up a reactionary
party, but without the slightest profitable result. Don
Francisco, the ex-Queen's husband, has for once asserted
his feeble authority, and has forbidden any rucre ez:pori-
snouts of this kind. The cause of Don Carlos, such f.-,s it

ia, has of couranrrospered in proportion as that of Isabella
has declined. 110 is now recognised as the Lead of the
family by most of the Spanish Royalists.

CARLIST RISING AT BARCELONA.

The news from the south of Europe is nothing more
than an endless succession of plots and conspiracies.
There is now no doubt that the Spanish Government has
been just in time to prevent a. very formidable outbreak at
Barcelona on behalf of Don Carlos. The Inds icadaiwe
Beige says that above a hundred arrests were
made, two colonels and many other officers of
various grades being amongst the number. Some
of these officers were employed on active service. The
prisoners also include several monks and priests. Arms
and documents—brevets appointing officers, bearing the
signature of Don Carlos, and decrees nominating persons
to the civil appointments of Catalonia—were also seized.
Barcelona is in a state of great agitation. The wealthier
inhabitants are rapidly seeking a quieter and more secure
residence.
