Sir J. BURGOYNE returned thanks for the army,
and Col. ERSKINE for the volunteers.

The PRESIDENT proposed "The Houses of Lords

Lord REDESDALE reponded for the House of
Lords, remarking that he should, iu his capacity of
chairman of committees, have to call the attention
of the house to the financial position of the railway
companies, for the time was come when something
must be done in Parliament in the matter. Every-
thing he proposed would be dictated by the most
sincere desire to do what was fair for the profession
and encouraging to public enterprise. (Cheers.)
The Right Hon. W. COWPER responded for the
House of Commons.

In response to the toast of " The Visitors"
speeches were made by Prince Teck and the Right
Hon. R. Lowe. The latter gentleman was received
with marked enthusiasm, and was loudly applauded

The Exhibition Palace and Winter Garden were
opened to the public on Monday for the purposes
originally intended. The building had been let to
the committee of the International Exhibition which
was inaugurated by the Prince of Wales, acting for
the Queen, on ' the 9th of May last and closed in
October. During the winter the additional build-
ings, or annexes, rendered necessary for the Exhi-
bition, were taken down, and.the unfinished designs
of Mr. A. G. Jones, the architect, have been com-
pleted. A gallery has been erected in the great
music-hall, and the promenade called the Winter
Garden has been stocked with shrubs and flowers
in great variety, and so arranged as to produce a
very beautiful effect. The severity of the weather
during spring has greatly retarded the growth of
the trees in the grounds, the bare appearance of
which was a little disappointing.

TEETH. AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.-
The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH 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 i.ystem of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain, a specialite 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 supporting 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 are cheaper, more dur-
able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
, warranted Consultation free. Teeth from 58. Sets from 5 to 25 ga.,

The Fitzgerald will case came before the Court of
Probate again yesterday morning. After a trial
which lasted 21 days, a jury selected by consent of
both parties, composed of most respectable gentle-
men, brought in a verdict breaking the will of the
late Sir Edward Fitzgerald. Yet Dr. Ball, Q.C.,
on the first day of term, moved for a new trial, on
the grounds of misdirection by the learned Judge,
and that the verdict was against the weight of evi-
dence. The case was postponed till yesterday, in
order that it might be argued by Mr. Butt, Q.C.,
but that gentleman said that he had urged every-
thing he properly could at the late trial, and being
of opinion that he would have no chance of chang-
ing his lordship's mihd, he thought the better thing
for all parties would be to let the case go to an ap-
pellant tribunal. Judge Keatinge said that he en-
tirely approved the verdict, and would have given
the same himself had he been on the jury. The mo-
tion for the new trial being abandoned, lie made no
rule. Dr. Ball, Q.C., moved for liberty to appeal,
which the Court refused, observing that the appli-
cation could be renewed before a Court of Appeal.
The death is announced of Mr. Denis Canny, of
Clonmoney, county Clare, from injuries received by
repeated falls from a horse which he rode at Scariff
races, on Saturday last, in one of the steeplechases
there. Mr. Canny, though deaf and dumb, was re-
puted one of the first horsemen in Ireland, and cele-
brated for his extraordinary courage in steeplechasing.
Mr. John Brady, a builder, of 47 and 48, Cam-
den-street, went to the Detective-office yesterday
morning, and made the extraordinary request that
his premises might be searched, as, for aught he
knew, there might be arms concealed there. This
prudent step may be accounted for by the fact that
his brother, who worked in the yard, had been
arrested last week, and his own men had since found
a quantity of cartridges. Mr. Superintendent Ryan
accordingly sent some officers to the place, and they
found in a sawpit a wooden box, within which was
a tin box containing 216 rifle bullets and 94 revolver
bullets. in a carpenter's shop over the pit, between
the floor andthewall, they made the more important
discovery of nine rifles, four bayonets, two sword
bayonets, a pikehead, and an old sword. Mr. Ryan
has expressed his conviction that the arms and ammu-
nition were placed there without the knowledge of
the owner of
,the premises, and that he never approved
the business for which the arms were intended.

" Before the century was actually in its teens, we believe

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, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts aro admitted, the enly condition being that
they are homeless and starving. The Manager, etc.
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing
the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young
.women, children, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have
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 be 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 families
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 destituto will
be offered in your behalf.

Yesterday, Inspector O'Connor and Acting-ser-
geant Lynam proceeded to 20, Trinity-place, and
arrested a man named Connolly, whom they found
concealed, mad who, it was alleged, hal threatened
to shoot the police. The prisoner has been fully
committed under the Suspension Act. Brophy, the
man who was shot some time ago in Thomas-street,
having recovered from the effects of his wounds
and left the hospital, the two men, Webber and
Graham, who had been in custody on account of
their connexion with that affair, were let out yester-
day on bail, to appear when called on.
At the Sligo Petty Sessions on Monday a man
named Cryan was sentenced to two months' impri-
sonment for endeavouring to seduce two soldiers of
the 83d Regiment to become Fenians and desert.
The Nenagh Guardian states that " the Lord-
Lieutenant has refused to accede to the prayer of
a memorial presented to him to allow John Cun-
ningham, lately a warder in the gaol of this town,
but now confined in one of the Dublin prisons un-
der his Excellency's warrant, out on bail. The
memorial was signed by nearly all the Nenagh
Town Commissioners and by several Roman
Catholic clergymen."
A remarkable libel case came before the Court of
Common Pleas yesterday—Kane v. Mulvany. The
action was brought by the plaintiff, Mr. R. D.
Sane, solicitor, against the defendant, an architect
and engineer. The libel was alleged to be con-
tained in certain publications, stated to have been
circulated by the defendant, of observations made
by Mr. Rodwell, Q.C., in a speech before a com-
mittee of the House of Lords, to whom the Dublin
Trunk Connecting Railway Bill was referred ; and
also in a petition presented to the hoase praying
for a recommittal of the bill. The summons and
plaint sent forth in detail a document pur..
porting to be a report of the speech of Mr.
Rodwell, who said that while the bill was
pending in Parliament, and was opposed by. the
corporation of Dublin, Mr. Kane intimated that he
could give important evidence, favourable to the
promoters, and that he was accordingly examined,
and that the testimony so elicited was of such a cha-
racter as to procure the immediate rejection of the
bill. Mr. Rodwell charged Mr. Kane with having
" sold" the promoters, and with having acted in
collusion with the Parliamentary agent for the cor-
poration, to whom he had furnished the particulars
necessary for his cross-examination in amanner to
be hostile to the bill. Some of the promoters after-
wards presented a petition for the recommittal of
the bill, in which they stated that Mr. Kane's evi-
dence, which they all alleged had been given by him
to the Parliamentary agent for the Corporation, was
really evidence in opposition to the bill, and not fa-
vourable to it, as he had represented to the pro-
moters that he would give. Two of the paragraphs
in the summons and plaint gave innuendoes to those
statements, averring them to charge that Mr. Kane
acted corruptly and treacherously in the matter of
his evidence. The defendant pleaded that the charges
were made bona fide and without malice ; that
when
he made them he believed them to be true ; and that
they wore justifiable comments on the conduct of a

plated by the statute ; that the defendant was not
in the position of a newspaper editor, who was pri-
vileged in making comments ; and that the defence
was bad in form, in not pleading simpliciter the truth
of the allegations. The case was argued by Messrs.
Ferguson, Q.C., and Walter Boyd for the plaintiff,
and Messrs. Heron, Q.C., and Monahan for the de-
fendant. Chief Justice Monahan delivered judg-
ment, disallowing the demurrer. His lordship held
that Mr. 'Cane having appeared as a witness before
a Parliamentary tribunal placed himself in the posi-
tion of having his acts and conduct commented upon,
and that the -privilege of such comment was not
exclusive to newspaper editors, but was enjoyed
equally by every one of her Majesty's subjects. The
objection to the defences in point of form was bad,
as was decided in the case of "Travers v. Potts,"
where the truth of the statement of facts and com-
ment thereupon were pleaded together.

—I hasten to remit
Mr. Secretary of State—Sir,
herewith to your Excellency a copy of a despatch
which I, at the moment, received from his Excel-
lency, Mr. Drouyn de I'Huys, and which answers
the despatch you were pleased to address to me
relative to Mexican affairs, on the 12th of February
last. Accept, Mr. Secretary of State, the .assur-
ances of my high consideration.
(Signed) MONTHOLON.
To the Hon. William H. Seward.

M. DROUYN DE L'HUYS TO THE MARQUIS DE MONTROLON.
(Translation.)
Paris, April 5, 1866.

To Marquis de Montholon—Sir,—l have read
with all the attention -which it deserves the answer
of the Secretary of State to my despatch of the 9th
of January last. The scrupulous care with which
Mr. Seward has pleased to analyse that despatch,
and the extended considerations upon which he has
entered to define in regard to the expose which I
have made of the conduct of France in the affairs
of Mexico, the doctrines which are the basis of the
international policy of the United States, bear wit-
ness in our eyes of the interest which the Cabinet
of Washington attaches to putting aside all misap-
prehension.

We find therein the evidence of its desire to cause
the sentiments of amity which the traditions of a
long alliance have cemented between our two coun-
tries to prevail over the accidental divergences often
inevitable in the movement of affairs and relations
of Governments. It is in this disposition that we
have appreciated the communication which the
Secretary of State has addressed to you on the Ist
of January last. I will not follow Mr. Seward in
the developments he has given to the exposition of
the principles which direct the policy of the
American Union.

It does not appear to me opportune or profitable
to prolong, on points of doctrine or of history, a
discussion where we may differ in opinion from the
Government of the United States without danger
to the interests of the two countries. I think it
better to serve those interests by abstaining from
discussing assertions in my opinion very contactible,
in order to take action on assurances which may
contribute to facilitate our understanding. We
never hesitate to offer to our friends the explana-
tions they ask from us, and we hasten to give to
the Cabinet of Washington all those which may en-
lighten on the purpose we are pursuing in Mexico,
and on the loyalty of our intentions.

We have said to it at the same time that the cer-
tainty that we should acquiesce in its resolution to
observe, in regard to that country after our depar-
ture, a policy of non-intervention, would hasten the
moment when it would be possible for us, without
compromising the interests which led us there, to
withdraw our troops and put an end to an occupa-
tion the duration of which we are seriously desirous
to abridge.

In his despatch of the 12th of February last, Mr.
Seward calls to mind on his part that the Govern-
ment of the United States has conformed, during the
whole course of its history, to the rule of conduct
which it received from Washington, by practising
invariably the principle of non-intervention, and
adds " that nothing justifies the apprehension that
it should show itself unfaithful in what may concern
Mexico."
We receive this assurance with entire confidence.
We find therein a sufficient guarantee not any
longer to delay the adoption of measures intended
to prepare for the return of our army. The Em-
peror has decided that the French troops shall
evacuate Mexico in three detachments, the first
being intended to depart in the month of November,
1866 ; the second in March, 1867 ; and the third in
the month of November of the same year.

You will please to communicate this decision of•
ficially to the Secretary of State.

Receive, Marquis, the assurance of my high con-
sideration. (Signed) DROUYN DE L'Hurs.

Emperor at Washington.

Sir,—Mr. Bigelow informs me, by a despatch of
the 15th of February, that he learned from an un-
official source, that Gregoeis Barandian, the diplo-
matic representative of the Archduke Maximilian,
formerly Secretary of Legation under Senor Robles,
at Washington, is now in Paris to fit out ten thou-
sand Austrians for Mexico. The Mexican Com-
missioner informed him that there was no money in
his hands. lam not sure of learning the result of
the Ministers sent here, as the money, if furnished,
must come through indirect and concealed channels.

sir,--T have your despatch of the 27th of Feb-
ruary(No. 150), by which we learn that efforts are
being made to induce the Austrian Government to
consent that four thousand volunteers may be levied
within that empire this year, for Mexico, on the
ground that the supplementary articles of the Con-
vention of Miramon permitted two thousand each
year, and that none Were forwarded in the year
1865.
Upon this statement of facts you express the
opinion that the consent desired will probably be
