THE RESCUE SOCIETY wishes to add another
home to the 12 now in operation. Last year no fewer
than 455 poor, friendless, young females were rejected from
want of FUNDS and room, making a total of 3,087, who have
been sent away in five years.
The new home the Committee wish to form would be for
young girls, almost children, from the age of 8 to 15, who
have been led astray from the path of virtue.
Contributions will be received gratefully by the Secretary,

GIRVAN AND KIRKPATRICK.

The second half-yearly meeting of this company
was held on Friday at Stranraer ; Mr. D. Guthrie
in the chair.

The report stated that the undertaking had met
with encouraging support in Wigtownshire and
Ayrshire; a large number of farmers had subscribed,
and some of the larger landowners had agreed to
take the value of their property required for the
railway in shares of the company. The directors
deemed it of the highest importance that all the
capital should be subscribed before commencing the
works. The heavier portion of the works, how-
ever, if deemed expedient, might be commenced
on an early day. First-claes steamers now per-
formed the passage daily between Stranraer and
Belfast. They were put on by the Caledonian
Railway Company, the ultimate success of Ni hich
service would mainly- depend on the opening up of
direct communication with Glasgow, Ayrshire, and
the West of. Scotland.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said they did not expect to raise all the
capital in the district, and that they depended for
support on the Glasgow and South-Western Com-
pany, who had already • promised them £50,000.
The establishment of their line was essential to the
successful maintenance of the short sea passage.
The report was adopted and the directors and
auditors were re-elected.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS.—Tnis EVENING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

PETITIONS.
The Bishop of OXFORD presented petitions from
Exeter, praying for the house to take into consideration a
bill for settling the question of a final court of appeal in
reference to ecclesiastical questions. He presented peti-
tions also from Ashbourn, in Hereford, against the aboli-
tion of church rates and the alteration of the law in no-
spect to marriage with a deceased wife's sister.
THE NESTORIANS IN PERSIA.
Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE asked his noble, friend (the Earl of Clarendon) for some information re-
specting the sect of Nestorians in Persia. That sect had
for a long period been subjected to persecution from the
professors of religion in Persia anci from the Roman
Catholic body in that country. The Nestorians were
very closely united to the Established Church, and their
history was very interesting. He understood that the
King of Persia had not only given the sect in question a
site for the erection of a church, but had contributed £lOO
towards that object. He wished to know whether the
Government had received any information similar to his
own, and whether they would act so as to show their ap-
preciation of the encouragement that had been shown by
the King of Persia to the sect in question.
The Earl of CLARENDON said that the information of
the noble lord was correct, and that the attention of her
Majesty's representative in Persia had been directed to the
subject, which he brought under the consideration of the
Persian Government. Her Majesty fully appreciated the
act of the King of Persia, and that approval had been sig-
nalised to his Majesty.
After a few words from Lord SHAFTESBURY,
The Bishop of OXFORD said that there were different
doctrinal points between the Nestorian sect, and their
chief similarity was protesting against the power claimed
by the Church of Rome.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The following bills were read a second time :—Congleton
Gas and Improvement, Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway
(West Riding Branches, &c. Metropolitan Metropolitan District Rail-
way, and Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (Blackburn
and Padiham).
The Waterford, New Ross, and Wexford Junction Rail-
way, and Magdalen Hospital Bills were read a third time
and passed.
The standing orders were dispensed with in reference
to Taylor's Estate Bill, which went through its different
stages.
LEGITIMACY DECLARATION BILL.
This bill was read a second time.
London, England, 1866-05-08

A sharp discussion arose, in the course of which
Sir W. MAXWELL argued that another member sh' auld
have been given to the universities of Scotland.
Mr. 11. BAILLIE inquired why the Government lAA not
proposed to deal with small constituencies in Scotland as
they intended to do with those in England.
Mr. M'LAREN considered that they ought to have
had a 40s. freehold franchise for Scotland. Instead of the
Government having done too much for Scotland by their
bill, he contended they had only just begun to do justice.
After a few words from Sir D. DUNDAS,
Leave was given to introduce the bill.
Mr. C. FORTESCUE, in stating the terms of the mea-
sure for Ireland, said that it was not intended to touch the
county franchise in consequence of recent legislation.
present rating occupation franchise, it was proposed, should
be reduced from £8 to £G. This would add 5,500 voters
to the borough register. The lodger and savings bank
franchises would also be applied to the sister country.
There were only three cases so peculiar as to justify a
transfer of seats ; and an additional member would be
given to Dublin city and Cork county, while the Queen's
University would be put on the same footing as the Lon-
don University, and have a right to return one member to
the house. To provide these three seats six smaller
boroughs would be thus grouped—Bandon with Kinsale,
Portarlington with Athlone, and Dungannon with Ennis-
killen. There were also seven boroughs with a population
under 8,000 which would be united with other places.
The scheme was criticised by Sir H. CAIRNS and opposed
by Mr. WUITESIDE, who said that the Government dodge
this time was to give everything to Scotland and nothing
to Ireland. A number of other Irish members spoke, and
ultimately
Leave was given to bring in the bill.
The house then went into committee of ways and means,
when the whole of the resolutions for the purpose of giv-
ing effect to the provisions of the financial statement of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer were agreed to, after a slight
discussion on matters of detail.
In committee on the National Debt Acts,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved a
resolution authorising the creation of terminable annuities
for £24,000,000 on account of savings banks, as detailed in
the Budget scheme.
After some discussion, the proposition was agreed to.
The Waterworks Bill passed through committee, and
the Harbour Loans Bill was read a third time. The Naval
Savings Bank Bill and the Landed Property Improvement
(Ireland) Bill, togo.ther with several other measures, were
advanced a stage.
The house then adjourned.

CHELTENHAM ELECTION.

The report of this election committee was brought up ;
it reported that Mr. Schreider was duly elected.
ITALY AND AUSTRIA.

Mr. Alderman SALMONS asked the Under Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs if he could give the
house any information on the present untoward aspect of
continental affairs, and if her Majesty's Government had,
either by itself or in accord with France, made any friendly
offers to the Governments of Italy and Austria, with a
view of soothing existing differences and averting from
Europe the threatened calamities of war?

Mr. LAYARD said he much regretted he could not give
any satisfactory information or satisfactory assurance with
respect to the aspect of affairs on the continent. It was
well known to Austria, Italy, and Prussia that her Ma-
jesty's Government were perfectly willing to interpose if
the good offices of the Government were applied for. It
would be satisfactory to enter into negotiations, but very
undesirable for this country to enter into the matter alone.
He thought the ]souse would agree with him that it was
undesirable for him to enter into any further detail in the
matter.

TEA.—Tho operations have been on a very restricted
scale, and prices have remained without change of import-
ance. A small quantity is announced for public competi-
tion this day.
SUGAR. —The market continues dull; prices, however,
are in most instances maintained. In the refined market
there has been a moderate business entered into, and late
quotations are fully supported.
COFFEE.—A fair demand has prevailed for all good and
fine qualities of Ceylon, and prices have remained firm.
Other descriptions, however, are a shade cheaper.
RICE.—A moderate amount of business has been trans-
actod in soft grain qualities, at about former values.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY._
The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex ending
over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi-
tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain. a speci?ilite t ertaining only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the support,ng instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth arc cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet prodired.
Consultation free. Teeth from ss. bets from 5 to 25 get.,
warranted.

For the efficacy, utility, and success of this system, vide

ITALY AND AUSTRIA.

Mr. Alderman SALOMONS asked the Under Secre-
tary of State for Foreign Affairs if he could give the
house any information on the present untoward aspect of
continental affairs, an if her Majesty's Government had,
either by itself or in accord with France, made any friendly
offers to the Governments of Italy and Austria, with a
view of soothing existing differences and averting from
Europe the threatened calamities of war ?

Mr. LAYARD said he much regretted he could not give
any satisfactory information or satisfactory assurance with
respect to the aspect of affairs on the continent. It was
well known to Austria, Italy, and Prussia that her Ma-
jesty's Government were perfectly willing to interpose if
the good offices of the Government were applied for. It
would be satisfactory to enter into negotiations, but very
undesirable for this country to enter into the matter alone.
He thought the kouse would agree with him that it was
undesirable for him to enter into any further detail in the

VIENNA, MAY 8.

Intelligence continues to be received of arma-
ments and military movements in Prussia, Italy,
and the middle German States.

In consequence of the proposition made by
Saxony at the Federal Diet, Bavaria is said to
have addressed a note to Prussia, requesting in-
formation respecting the latter's threatening atti-
tude towards Saxony. Prussia replied that she
would not enter Saxon territory so long as Saxony
was not occupied by Austrian troops.

The heads of the offices for the collection of the
public revenue have received instructions to ex-
change on demand notes of the Government cur-
rency for bank-notes, by which means any differ-
ence in the value of the two currencies will be
avoided. The decree on the forced currency will
be extended to Venetia.

Some Italian workmen are suspected of having
set fire to the Austrian frigate Novard.

HANOVER AND PRUSSIA.

lIANOVER, MAY 5.

"A report is current," says the Zeitung fiir Nord-
deutschland, " that Hanover has concluded a treaty
with Prussia, by which the territory and indepen-
dence of this kingdom are guaranteed; and Hanover,
on the other hand, agrees to furnish Prussia with
15,000 men, who would be sent into Luxemburg
and Cologne. Count Bismarck, it is added, was
averse to the arrangement, and had intended an-
nexation. We are of course unable to say," adds
the Zeitung, " whether the report is true or un-
founded, or merely premature. It agrees, however,
entirely with what we represented months ago in
these columns as a necessity for Hanover—neu-
trality so long as Prussia would permit, alliance
with Prussia so soon as she demands it."
