MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrip-
tion of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro•n the originals 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 of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and wilt support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

vast year the beds have been almost constantly filled, and
the drain on the resources of the Hospital has consequently
been great. They trust, therefore, that all the friends of
horroo,pathy, both in town and country, will rally round
them, and thus prevent the necessity of curtailing' the use-
fulness of the Hospital by the admission of fewer patients

Their lordships dividing, the amendment was carried
by 48 to 16. The bill was, therefore. la t. It is a notable
circumstance that every member of the tlovernment pre-
sent, with the exception of the Duke of Marlborough,
voted against it.
The Earl of BELMOIZE stated, in answer to the Earl of
BESSIIOROUGII, that instructions bad been given to tke•iu-
specters of constabulary in Ireland to place themselves in
communication with the owners of peliceLbarraeks in that

IfOUSE OF COMMONS. —LAST EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock.
BLACK WATER BRIDGE BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
CHARITABLE DONATIONS (IRELAND) BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill.
The. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved an
amendment to clause 42 to prevent the owner of a copy-
hold or long leasehold house from having a vote for the
county in respect of a house occupied by himself, which
conferred upon him the borough franchise, a provision
which is already applicable to freeholders by the act of
1832.
The amendment was agreed to.
Sir R. PALMER moved an amendment to define the
meaning of the term dwelling-houses.
Viscount CRANBORNE thought it was absolutely ne-
cessary that some definition of the term was laid down,
because there was nothing in the bill, as it stood, to pie-
vent a person sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment call-
ing for a vote.
A long discussion ensued.
Mr. R. •GURNEY suggested postponement.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it ap-
peared that it would be inexpedient to postpone the matter
as the subject was not new, and for the last two months
he had been in the constant receipt of definitions of the
term. It was ultimately agreed to withdraw the amend-
ment of Sir R. Palmer, and add the following words to the
clause: Dwelling-house shall include " any part of a house
occupied as a separate dwelling, and separately rated to
the relief of the poor."
The 31st clause was then taken into consideration. It
enumerated the names of the persons who should consti-
tute the Boundary Commissioners, viz., Viscount Eversley,
Russell Gurney, Esq., Sir F. Crossley, Sir J. Duckworth,
and John Walter, Esq.
On the motion that the clause be agreed to,
Mr. D. GRIFFITIIS regretted that the name of Mr.
Bouverie had been omitted, and he thought it would be
much better if that gentleman was appointed instead of
the hon. baronet (Sir F. Crossley).
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE entered his protest against a
member of the House of Peers being selected to preside
over matters relating entirely to the• House of Commons.
Mr. FOSTER asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to
give some better information relative to the powers of the
commissioners and the appointment of their secretary.
Mr. GLADSTONE did not think there was any unfair-
ness of selecting the noble lord, because the House of
Peers had a right to a share in the duties of Parliament.
He found no fault with the other members of the Commis-
sion having seats in the house, although ho could not go
that length with respect to those not so situated, because
they would not be in a position to give information 'from
their seats in that house in the event of its being required.
He thought the appointment of secretary ought to rest
with the commissioners themselves.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he need
not refer further to the fact of a peer being elected fo pre-
side over the commission, because, as had justly been
observed, the House of Peers had some interest in
the composition of the house of Commons. With respect
to non-members of Parliament, they had been selected be-
cause they were supposed to be the ablest persons that
could bo found. With respect to the members of that
house, they had boon selected after the greatest conside-
ration. With respect to the appointment of secretary after
the commissioners had been appointed they would be in
communication with the Government, and then the ap-
pointment of the secretary could be decided on, but no per-
son would be appointed that was not acceptable to the
commission.
The names proposed by the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer were then agreed to, and it was also agreed that three
of them should form a quorum.
The house was occupied in discussing various proposed
amendments to clause 31 for tho purpose of defining the
duties of the Boundary Commissioners up to seven o'clock,
at which hour the sitting was suspended until nine o'clock.
On the reassembling of the house at night, Mr. Headlam
moved for a select committee to consider whether any alte-
ration can be made in the internal arrangements of the
House of Commons, so as to enable a greater number of
members to hear and take part in the proceedings, and the
motion was agreed to, after striking out the word "inter-
nal," at the suggestion of Lord J. Manners, for the purpose
of leaving the discretion of the committee more unfettered.
Whilst Lord J. Manners was speaking, an b'on. member
moved that the house be counted, and the Speaker pro-
ceeded to count accordingly ; but on arriving at the 37th,
and as he was about to declare the house adjourned, Mr.
Crawford, the member for London, excitedly drew atten-
tion to the circumstance that two hon. members were
hiding behind the chair. The result was that, the notice
of the Speaker being thus directed to a part of the house
which the right hon. gentleman is supposed never to see,
39 members were discovered to be present, Mr. Speaker
himself made up the 40th, and so "a house" was found to
be duly constituted, much to the satisfaction of a small
knot of members, who had come down to support Mr.
Dorman in his effort to relieve that long-suffering class of
the community, the attorneys, from the burden of the cer-
tificate duty.
The Libel Bill was passed through committee after a long
and dreary discussion.
The Attorneys' Certificate Bill was also passed through
committee, Mr. Walpole intimating on behalf of the Go-
vernment that they did not feel precluded from opposing it
on the third reading.
The Investment of Trusts Funds Bill was read a second
time.
The Railways Guards' and Passengers' Communication
Bill was passed through committee; and the other orders
on the paper having been disposed of, the sitting termi-
nated at a quarter past two.

MR. BRIGHT AT FISHMONGERS' HALL.

Last evening . the Fishmongers' Company enter-
tained a large party at dinner in their hall, near
London-bridge, including the members of the Livery,
the newly-elected Prime Warden (Mr. Fraser Brad-
shaw Henshaw) presiding. The guests were about
200 in number, and among them were Mr. Bright,
M.P., his Excellency the Hanseatic Minister, Gen.
Fox, Mr. Dalglish, M.P., Mr. Barnes, M.P., Mr.
J. N. M'Kenna, M.P., Colonel Stepney, the Hon.
Adolphus Liddell, Q.C., Mr. David Mahoney, Mr.
George Moore, Mr. Samuel Morley, and Mr. E.
Burk itt. The company began to muster about half-
past 5 o'clock in the drawing-room, where they were
received by the Prime Warden, and, shortly before
6, escorted to the dining-hall.
On the removal of the cloth the usual loyal and
constitutional toasts were drunk, and then
The PRIME WARDEN gave the toast of " The
House of Commons," coupling it with the name of
Mr. Bright.
Mr. Bitto T, M.P., after a cordial reception, spoke
as follows :—Mr. Prime Warden and Gentlemen,..—.
I thank you very heartily for the invitation which
has permitted me to be here to-night, and for the
very cordial and friendly manner in which I have
been received. I am puzzled to know how I can
say much to advantage just now about the House
of Commons, and it is no little difficulty to attempt
to interject a political speech in 'the midst of the
other proceedings of the evening ; but the Prime
Warden, who, I suppose, is not only Prime Warden,
but Prime Minister among us—(a laugh)—l sup-
pose had no reason for calling on me, or for men-
tioning the House of Commons, except with the view
that something should be said about the House of
Commons and the political position in which we
find ourselves. (A laugh.) Some eminent writer
has said that the civilisation of a people is marked
or attested by the manner in which it makes its re-
volutions, and I think, from the mode in which we
make ours, we are as a people very much advanced
in civilisation. In the year 1832 we made a revolu-
tion of a very serious character. We transferred
the government of a great nation from the exclusive'
power of a hereditary aristocracy, in a large de •
gree, at any rate, to the people, especially to the
middle class ; but we did it in the midst of great
excitement and not a little tumult, and many fears
that the vessel of the State might go down in the
storm which was then raging. In the year 1867 we
are engaged in making another. revolutibn of much
the same character ; but we are doing it, not with
disorder and tumult, but in the midst of the most
complete peace, and when all parties in the coun-
try, especially that party which said the revolution
would be a terrible thing when it should come, seem
to be in the very best possible humour with each
other. (Laughter.) My hon. friends who are here
with me and I have come from the West. We find
there what 1 believe is veritably a revolution in pro-
gress, and yet we come here thus far to the East,
and we are able to sit down in perfect tranquillity,
and partake of this costly and superb banquet,
without the slightest idea that anything is happen-
ing which can disturb the order and prosperity of
the country. 1 say it is something of revolution.
It cannot be concealed—I shall not attempt to con-
ceal it from myself or from anybody else—that west-
ward a very rapid and extraordinary stride is being
made tee; t* Mutt. rae cAll demon*, rat if

and condition to the very latest generations of Ont.
; people. Now I am, a &A:tatty of you know, in rather
a pemliar position with regard to this great question.
I have taken a very active part in promoting
changes, some of which are being now
made. .l' rom
my youth upwards since I could consider such ques-
tions I had before my eyes, as you have bad before
your eyes, almost everywhere, and nowhere more
than in this city, great wealth, great luxury, re-
markable refinement, a very high degree of educa-
tion, and almost close alongside of this I have seen.
great poverty, fearful degradation, and also an i 74-
norance so profound that it was almost imposs'Lble
to measure or to fathom it. Now, I have believed
that a nation which could make so many rich, so
many refined, and so many instructed, miglat,ifit
were to examine its own affairs and marage them,
lessen the number of those who were in, poverty, in
degradation, and in ignorance ; and. 1 have been
strongly of opinion that if the Parliament of the
country were broadly represented by what I would
call the industry, the intelligence, and the virtue of
the entire people—if God has given to men the power
to govern themselves well and to improve their posi-
tion upon this. earth—possibly if we had a Parlia-
ment so formed we might raise vast multitudes of
our people from a condition which was one of misery
to them and of humiliation to us who had permitted
it. I thought the House of Commons was built on
too narrow a basis—that in many things, and par-
ticularly because by reason of the, extreme expen-
siveness of elections many of its members hardly

aCn oyn ConstitutionhoienorsgrelGovernmentseutation which was so exact a voice of the mind of
the whole people of the country. They denied the
truth of the statements which I had made, not hav-
ing examined that question as I bad done, and said
that which, doubtless, they had a right to say, be-
cause they believed it to be true. It is curious now
that these gentlemen to whom I refer have confessed
that they were wrong and that I was right. (No,
no.) They have not only adopted, especially with
regard to the main point of the great question that
has been under discussion, my view with respect to
the health of the patient, but they have actually
stolen, or borrowed without acknowledgment, my
prescription. (A laugh and cries. of No, no.) We
are nearly all agreed in the House of Commons on
this matter now, and it was not unreasonable to sup-
pose there might be considerable agreement here.
But if there be any gentleman who thinks I am
overstating the case, Isan only leave him to observe
what passes during the rest of the session, and per- •
baps by the end of it he may come to the conclusion
to which I have arrived. (Cheers.) There is one
thing that I beg to state to the two or three gentle-
men who rather differ from me, And it is this, that
the House of Commons with regard to all the
boroughs in England and Wales has now established
a franchise which is lower than any franchise which
exists in the Northern States of the American Re-
public, and this, after I have been charged for many
years with wishing to Americanise our institutions,
has been done by those gentlemen who brought that
charge against me. (A laugh.) Now I say this

have unfortunately in this country a larger number
of the population who are poor and ignorant and
dependent than can be found in corresponding num-
bers of the population throughout the heretofore free
States of the American Republic. Therefore I say
that the franchise we have established is lower than
that which exists there. Now, I will not pretend to

say—•l think most people are rather puzzled to con-
jecture what within the next ten or five years may be
the result of what has been done. I believe there is
great and solid good in all classes of the people of
this country. My own impression is that in the
highest class, that of high titles, privileges, and great
.wealth, there has been an amazing advancement in
everything that is creditable to that class during the
last 30 years. (Cheers.) But I could not with-
hold the expression of the same opinion with regard

to what has transpired among the middle classes or

among the working classes.

I believe that from

the highest in the land down to almost the very

lowest there has been a great increase of general

knowledge, and a great increase of kindness be-

tween man and man, and that we are at this mo-

inent more ready than we have been at any former
period wisely to admit great numbers of the popu-
lation to the exercise of the franchise and of politi-
cal power. (Hear, hear.) Now, notwithstanding
that there will be thousands and scores of thousands

who are not independent enough to vote without
some kind of influence over them, and who may
know little for what it is they vote, still I believe
that in a fair field, as we shall now have to a large
extent the good which exists through all classes of
the people of this country will exert itself with full
effect, and will prevent any evil consequences what-
soever affecting the general politics or legislation of
the country arising from the admission of con-
siderable numbers, who cannot give either strength
or intelligence to the constituencies which are about
to be created. The session of 1867 will, I believe,
be memorable to a very late period, and memorable
for that conversion of a great party. (A laugh.) I

trust and believe that party, having abandoned its

ancient position of resistance on this great question,
will consider its position with regard to some other

questions—(hear, hear)—and I hope that in future
we shall have in the House of Commons, taking the

whole House and both sides of it, a less obstinate

resistance to improvement, and more and more of a
fair and candid consideration of all the arguments
that may be submitted to it on the questions that are
brought under consideration. I think the result of

what has been done will be to open a wider field for

the intellect and the energies of the people, and I

here take upon myself to say that I think we may
hope with confidence that those who come after UN on

looking back at our proceedings during this event-
ful sear, will have no reason to condemn the course

that we have t !ken. (Cheers.) In 1832 a chanze
was made, which now, I believe, everybody admits
to have been a very wise change. In fact, I think
now the last opponent of, the last person who con-
demned the Reform Bill of 1832, must have passed
away from among us. It was said last session by the
strongest opponents of the bill of last year, that the
bill of 1832 was so. wise, and had done so much
good, that it was not desirable to depart from it,
and that scarcely anything further remained to be
done. Well, from 1832 to this time 35 years have
passed. A bill is passing now. What will happen
in the next 35 years? This—that the twentieth
century will have dawned upon our children, and I
trust that when it does dawn upon them, and when
they look back to this day, as we look back to 1832,
they may say of this day what we say of that day,.
and they may say further, that during all tlrtin-ie
which had elapsed this England—
this Great Britain,
this United Kinadom--as grown a greater, a more
united, and a happi r country. (Cheers.)
