ri; n of ARTIFICIAL 't li:ET 11, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro the originals by the closest
observer ; they will never change colour or decay. and will
be found superior to any te6th ever before used. This
method does not require t',e extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that arc
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

position of England. In that letter, which was certainly a
very able document, ho stated that the inhabitants had been
for some time over trading,that they had been endeavouring
to amass fortunes without sufficient labour, and that the
failure of Overend, Gurney, and Co. culminated the dis-
aster. Well, now, ho thought ono question in any inquiry
should be, under what circumstances was it, upon whose
prompting was it that a letter npt calculated to allay
alarm, but calculated to excite alarm—(hear, hear) - should,
for the first time, ho believed, in the history of the
Foreign-office, have been written. Reviewing recent
panics he stated that within the last 20 years we had had
three periods of pressure—in 1847, 1857, and in 1866, and
if the house would remember, every succeeding panic had
shown a greater severity in regard to the rate of discount,
and a longer continuance of the minimum rate. It was
contended that these severe pressures were sometimes
salutary, that they repressed a disposition to undue specu-
lation. There might be some truth in that, but it was
admitted by a committee of that house, that the labouring
population suffered most from such panics; and would
any man contend that a system was sound which,
in order to correct itself, threw a large number of the•
people out of employment, and put a stop to the pro-
duction of wealth ? He did not think such a system could
be sound. The hon. member next alluded to the statement
of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that the present crisis
was the result of a want of capital. It appeared to him
(Mr. Watkin) that this country never owed so little, or
had owing to it so large an amount of money; that the
country was never so wealthy as before the issue of the
Government letter of the 25th of May, and that it was
never before producing wealth so rapidly. If then we
were richer than ever we had been previously, how could
we, he asked, be short of capital ? In his opinion, one of
the causes of the crisis was the present system of con-
structing railways, which surely presented a reason for in-
quiry. There was another cause, and that was the action
of individuals, under powers given by that house, to form
limited liability companies. Everybody admitted that these
powers had been grossly abused. Taking Overend, Gur-
ney, and Co. as an example, it was well known that that
company had been transacting a class of business which
did not pertain to banking. That was a sample of many
such unfortunate departures from the strict rules which
ought to have guided them ; the list was a long one. He
wanted to know why the precedent of 1857 was not fol-
lowed by the Bank of England on the present occasion.
At that time the Bank transfened two millions from the
issue to the banking department, and afforded accommo-
dation to those who were in want of it; but in 1866—a
period of greater difficulty—they made no transference
from the issue to the banking department, and had not
given that accommodation which might have been ex-
pected under the Government letter. What right had they
to keep that letter a single day unless they intended to use
the power given them ? In 1857 the reserve was only
X 1,654,000. On the day before the crisis in 1866 it was
X 5,000,000, but it was reduced, according to their own
statement, to £3,000,000 on the night they got the authori-
sation to break the Act of Parliament. The hon. member
concluded by referring to expressions of opinions against
the working of the Bank Act by the present and late Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, Sir George Cornewall Lewis, the
heads of large private firms and others.
Mr. AKROYD:seconded the motion.
Sir S. NORTHCOTE said the Government bad no ob-
jection to inquire into this question, but they did not think
that the issue of a Royal commission would be the best
measure that they could take. (Hear.) The Government
did not believe that the want of confidence that had been
engendered would be removed, or was capable of being
removed, by any tampering with the currency and bank-
ing laws. Tho cure, he said, must be gradual, and ho im-
pressed upon the house the necessity of taking care not to
indulge in over speculation.

FEDERATION OF THE BRITISH NORTH
AMERICAN PROVINCES.
Lord LYVEDEN asked if Government had made up
their mind in respect to the question of the proposed fede-
ration of the British North American colonies, to which
the representatives of public opinion in those colonies were
favourable. He availed himself of the opportunity of pass-
ing a high eulogium on the loyalty of the inhabitants of
the colonies in question.
The Earl of CARNARVON said that delegates from
Upper and Lower Canada, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland,
New Brunswick, and Prince Edward's Island, assembled
at Quebec in October, 1864, to consider this very question.
The colonies were in favour of the federation, and the
Government felt disposed to give due effect to their feel-
ing, but having succeeded so recently to office they did
not feel justified in bringing forward any measure on so
important a subject, particularly at the close of the
session.

pROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE,
FOR
HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor
from allparts are admitted, the only condition being that
they aie homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, chilaren, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refusodadinittance, andhave
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor tamilies
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf

HUBBARD,
Mr. GLADSTONE accepted, as far as was due to him,
the portion of responsibility of not having issued a com-
mission of inquiry into this subject. There was no
doubt that an inquiry into the causes of the failure
of the Money Market involved principles as well as
fact, and if a commission combined different schools of
distinguished men they would receive not one report, but
two or three reports. It would be a great innovation to de-
liver over the prosecution of this subject into other hands
than that of the Government. The Government had said
they would consider the subject on their own responsibi-
lity, and, on the other hand, that they would not make any
objection to referring it to a select committee. Ho even
thought the Government had promised too much ; but
they had pursued a right course. He thought it admitted on
all hands that in many respects we must derive great
benefit from the Bank Charter Act. The whole method of
meeting foreign drains was so completely understood, that
so far as any foreign drain was concerned no apprehen-
sion need be felt. As regarded issue, he believed it
to be the function of the State, and that where it was
exercised by others, it must be understood as being do-
legated to them, the responsibility resting with the State.
This led him to remark on a point that had not been
noticed in the course of the present debate. When the at-
tention of the Government was direct d to this subject
he hoped they would not confine themselves to a con-
sideration merely of the causes of the recent panic. As
regarded reserves, the enormous circulation of paper, and
many other matters, we wore in a very satisfactory state.
There had been an immense demand for notes and coin, but
it was reasonable to suppose that the circulation of the country
banks would have been increased,but at time of the crisis that
circulation decreased by a million. He thought the system
on which the issue of these banks was propounded was a
bad system and at variance with the spirit of the act of
1844. With reference to his letter to the Bank of Eng-
land, he remarked that it had been taken abroad as an
intimation of suspension of payment, the misunderstand-
ing being so great that the French Government imme-
diately wrote offering a supply of bullion. (Cheers and
laughter.)
Mr. HENLEY did not see the use of remitting the sub-
ject to a select committee after it was considered by the
Government.
It being now 10 minutes to four the debate, according to
the rules of the house, was adjourned till Friday, the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER intimating that be would
give it precedence over the orders of the day.
The house then adjourned.
The house resumed at 6 o'clock.
THE JAMAICA RIOTS.

Mr. BUXTON drew attention to the concluding para-
graph of the report of the Jamaica Commission, viz. :
" That the punishments inflicted were excessive ; that the
punishment of death was unnecessarily frequent ; that the
floggings were reckless, and at Bath positively barbarous ;
and that the burning of 1,000 houses was wanton and
cruel ;" and also to the further statement of the Commis-
sion, that among the sufferers "there wore many who were
neither directly nor indirectly parties to the disturbances."
The hon. member entered at great length into the circum-
stances of the insurrection at Morant Bay, and concluded
by moving a series of resolutions, to the effect that the
house deplored the excessive punishments which followed
the suppression of the disturbances of October last in the
parish of St. Thomas, Jamaica, and especially the unneces-
sary frequency with which the punishment of death was
inflicted. That while approving the course taken by her
Majesty's Government in dismissing Mr. Eyre from the
governorship of the island, the house at the same time con-
curred in the view expressed by the late Secretary of the
Colonies, that " while any very minute endeavour to
punish acts which may now be the subject of regret" would
not be expedient, still "that great offences ought to be
punished," and that great excess of severity on the part of
any civil, military, or naval officers ought not to be passed
over with impunity. That in the opinion of the house it
was the duty of her Majesty's Government to award com-
pensation to those whose property was wantonly and
cruelly destroyed, and to the families of those who were
put to death illegally. That since considerably more than
a thousand persons were proved to have been executed or
severely flogged on the charge of participating in these
disturbances, all further punishment on account of them
ought to be remitted. The hon. member stated that he
wished the fact of voting for or against his propositions to
be taken as expressive of sympathy with or censure of the
doings of Governor Eyre and his abettors.
Mr. ADDERLEY censured Mr. Buxton for his assump-
tion in taking up this matter, and for having endeavoured
to make it a question of party by an ostentatious and un-
necessary appeal to the leader of the Liberal party, Mr.
Gladstone, to express his real opinions. The Royal Com-
mission had given its voluminous report, and there the
matter must rest, since the inquiry could not be reopened.
The question now before the house was, whether they
should proceed to pass resolutions on the report, and whe-
ther those of Mr. Buxton were wise ones. The right hon.
gentleman then explained and vindicated the conduct of
the late Government in the suppression of the revolt, and
somewhat sarcastically invited Mr. Buxton, seeing that
there were fresh disturbances in Jamaica, and that within
the last few hours the colonists had asked for increased
assistance, to take charge of that special department him-
self. He did trust that the house would not lend itself to
the one-sided views expressed in the resolutions which
they were asked to adopt. He neither denied nor admitted
the matter contained in them, but simply avowed his
opinion that their acceptance by the house would be most
unwise. He moved the previous question.
Mr. J. S. MILL called on the Government to give some
explicit declaration of opinion on the Jamaica question.
He went at some length into the circumstances of the re-,
bellion at Morant Bay, and described martial law to be the

negation of all law, as, he urged, it had indeed been proved
in these Jamaica transactions. He wished to know who
were to be our judges, the Queen's judges or three naval
and military officers—two of them mere boys— administer-
ing no law at all. He contended that a prima facie case
had been made out against the authors of the severities
resorted to in Jamaica; but he thought the proper place
where the question should be tried was a criminal court.
Mr. W. E. FORSTER expressed his opinion that the
house ought to censure the conduct of Governor Eyre,
which had stamped the administration of this country with
well-deserved odium. (Hear.) He contended that the
object of martial law was, not punishment, but the sup-
pression of insurrection, and there could be no possible jus-
tification for the wholsale hangings which had taken place.
He hoped some inquiry would take place as to the desir-
ableness of placing the colonies with regard to The de-
claration of martial law upon the same footing as England.
Mr. B. COCHRA'NE defended the conduct of Governor
Eyre and his staff as justified under all the circumstances,
and as precisely such as would have been taken by any-
body else placed in the same sudden peril.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL maintained that the
house would be placed in a false position by the adoption of
the resolutions of Mr. Buxton ; and while condemning the
harsh measures which had been taken in Jamaica he left
their legality an open question. That such excessive
severity had been employed must be generally deplored,
and to this extent the Government concurred with Mr.
Buxton, whose first resolution they were willing to
accept.
Mr. CARD WELL, while expressing his horror of the
severities perpetrated, avowed his individual opinion that
every allowance should be made, considering the peculiar
difficulties by which Mr. Eyre was surrounded. He stated
his own feeling that Mr. Eyre was entitled to the utmost
credit, not only for the energy and the decision, but for
the judgment and moderation which ho had displayed in
the great crisis. His main fault was continuing martial
law after it had in reality ceased to be necessary. Acting
in accordance with the opinions expressed by the commis-
sioners, the late Government considered that they had met
the justice of the case by removing Mr. Eyre from his
appointment. Under these circumstances, and consider-
ing that proceedings were pending against certain persons
in subordinate positions, Mr. Cardwell expressed his own
opinion that the resolution should not be pressed.
Mr. T. HUGHES reviewed the legal aspect of the case,
and expressed his sincere hope that for the honour of
England they would yet see the case of the deceased Mr.
Gordon brought before one of the tribunals of this country.
Sir R. PALMER admitted that errors, not to say crimes,
of the most deplorable description had been committed in
Jamaica during the great panic.; but he could not allow
that the passing of the resolutions presented to the house
would lead to any real or good result.
Mr. R. GURNEY, as one of the commissioners, re-
pudiated the idea which had been extensively circulated,
that he had changed his opinion in reference to the Gordon
case. He still adhered to his original belief that the evi-
dence was totally and wholly insufficient to convict him
of the alleged crime for which he suffered death ; but at
the same time allowance must be made for the difficult cir-
cumstances in which Governor Eyre found himself placed,
and the perils which surrounded him.
Mr. BUXTON briefly replied, accepting the offer of the
Government to assent to the first of his resolutions. In
that case he announced that he should not insist on the
others.

The amendment for the previous question was then with•
drawn.

Mr. AYRTON thought the obvious mode of dealing
with the question was to try the civilian who was alleged
to have misconducted himself in the discharge of a great
public duty.

After a very even start the competitors ran in close
company for the first hundred yards, when Achievement
took a slight lead, followed by Lady Hester, Julius, and
Golden Bloom. As they approached the distance the favou- •
rite had increased her advantage to a length, but at the
commencement of the stand enclosure Fordham called re-
solutely ou Lady Hester, who drew up to the favourite,
but Custance slightly rousing Colonel Pearson's filly,
landed her a clever winner by half a length. Julius gave
way in the last 50 yards, and was passed by Golden Bloom,
who finished two lengths in rear of Lady Hester, and a
similar distance in front of the Duke of Newcastle's colt ;
Sister to Vedette was fifth, Perdition sixth, The Duchess
seventh, and Red Shoes last.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQTJER reminded
the house that the only action it would take would be the
impeachment of Mr. Eyre, and that the first resolution
assumed that whatever was done was done legally. The
Government accepted the first resolution because it had no
reference to individuals.

The first resolution was then agreed to, and the other
three were withdrawn.
Lord NAAS moved for leave to bring in a bill to con-
tinue, for a limited period, the suspension of the Habeas
Corpus Act in Ireland. The second reading would be
fixed for the first order on Thursday.
Sir G. BOWYER protested against the bill, even at that
early stage, as unnecessary. Ireland was in a state of un-
exampled prosperity, and required remedial rather than re-
strictive measures.

Leave was then given to introduce the bill.
The remaining orders of the day were disposed of, and
the house adjourned.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE —Yesterday.

The acknowledged supremacy of Goodwood over a
other meetings for magnificent scenery and aristocratic
patronage is an historic fact in turf literature, and every
year writers exhaust almost every epithet in the English
language in extolling its beautiful views, or depicting the
brilliant assemblage of rank and fashion that throngs " the
laWn." The subject has been positively written thread-
bare ; but while passing over the oft-repeated eulogistic
sentences which the rdunion really deserves, we at once
arrive at the subject matter of this year's gathering.
The presence of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and
Princess of Wales has at once destroyed the application of
" Ducal," so long associated with Goodwood, and the keen
appreciation the Prince evinces for the national pastime
has deprived Ascot of the exclusive right of prefixing
"Royal" to its title. The Prince and Princess of Wales
arrived from Osborne yesterday, and are the guests of his
Grace the Duke of Richmond at Goodwood House, where
a brilliant company was invited to meet their Royal High-
nesses. The Duke of Edinburgh, who accompanied tile
Prince front Goodwood, is staying at Molecombe, the seat
of Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe-Weimar. Several
improvements have been effected since last year in the
stand and enclosure. A stand for jockeys and trainers
has been erected in the now saddling enclosure adjoin-
ing the ring, and there is every possible convenience
for the usual business arrangements of a meeting,
including a printing office. The Cup race has been de-
prived of its usual prestige by the scratchings of Gladia-
teur and Regalia, and the manner in which the former was
withdrawn was freely criticised, some angry and bitter
remonstrances being made by those who had been unfor-
tunate enough to back the French horse. The race for the
Stakes, on the other hand, has never occasioned more in-
terest and excitement, notwithstanding that some very
questionable proceedings with certain horses when the
betting first opened seemed likely to give it a dark reputa-
tion. The race for favouritism between Black Prince and
The Special has been very close, but the Danebury divi-
sion invariably have the best of the finish with their im-
mense commissions, and Black Prince came with such a
rush on Saturday that he was firmly established first fa-
vourite, although The Special maintained his position in
the quotations with great firmness. There was a great
falling off in the visitors at Brighton, and the " Old ship"
was comparatively deserted, but a few persons being con-
gregated where in former years a large crowd used to as-
semble eager to bet and anxious to learn the latest news
on the Goodwood events. Many of the townspeople attri-
bute this decline in the number of visitors to the want of
more rapid transit between Brighton and Chichester than
the present railway arrangements afford ; whatever be the
cause, it is certain that Brighton is not nearly so much
patronised as formerly. The early morning of Tuesday was
brilliant, but by 10 o'clock the sky becanie overcast, and
rain began to fall, at first slightly, but increasing to a sharp
shower by 12 o'clock, it continued until after the sport had
commenced. This was a great disappointment to the visi-
tors, the assemblage of feminine beauty and elegance on
" the lawn" being one of the most charming features of the
meeting ; but the wind was so keen that many of the ladies
remained in the Stand throughout the afternoon. The
royal party arrived on the course as the racing commenced,
and were conducted to the Stand; but shortly afterwards
the Prince and the Duke of Edinburgh descended to the
enclosure, and chatted affably with noblemen and gentle-
menO there. The racing was good, and full particulars s
appended.
