siderable, yet Constitutional, scheme of Reform
might be framed capable of being carried into law,
because commanding the consent of moderate men
of all parties. The result of the debate is so satis-
factory that we are not disposed to examine too
closely the apology for the Government put forward
by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, though much
of it was very questionable. It is true, as he said,
that the early part of the Session was occupied
with necessary business, but it was in great part
mere routine, and presented no obstacle to the
earlier introduction of-,the Government scheme of
Reform. The charge that time had been occupied
in irrelevant discussion was fairly met by Mr. Dis-
raeli when he pointed out that on the main points
discussed the Government had deferred to the ex-
pressed opinions of the House of Commons. Mr.
Gladstone was happier in criticising Mr. Disraeli's
suggested plan of grouping than in defending his
own, and the truth is that both of them can only ba
looked upon as rough sketches put forward for the
consideration of the country. They are suggestions
towards the Reform Bill of next session, and nothing
more. They deserve to be studied, and we hope
will be studied, in the autumn, so that next year
the best parts of them may be embodied in a com-
plete measure. As for the present scheme, its de-
fects have been for some time so patent to the
world that, now the honour of the Government
has been saved, there can be no reason why it
should long continue to engage the attention of the
House of Commons.
DAILY NEWS.—It cannot be said that the result
of last night's debate, though neither unexpected
nor undesired by the majority of the house, leave
the Government in its relations towards its own
party and its own bill—we might even say, simply
as a Government—in a position entirely satisfac-
tory to those who would most sincerely consult its
dignity at this critical moment in domestic politics
and in the affairs of Europe. Nor is this any fault
of Government itself or of its habitual supporters
in Parliament, so far, at least, as last night's pro-
ceedings are concerned. All the credit of a state of
things which cannot safely be permitted to last
much longer belongs to an Opposition which has
neither the courge to fight nor to run away, and
more especially to those gentlemen sitting on the
Ride of the Government who have neither the cou-
rage of bad faith nor, of repentance. After com-
paring the conduct of the Conservative party
towards Reform with the spontaneous and osten-
tatious promise made by Lord Derby on the first
night of the session of " fair play" and " no com-
bination," and after dismissing the accusation
of introducing the Franchise Bill tardily and the
Seats Bill with precipitation, by reminding the
Tories of their Cattle-Plague Compensation debates,
and suggesting that forty-five days should be time
enough for a Government including members who
had already been parties to the introduction of
three Reform Bills to frame redistribution clauses
with tolerable maturity of judgment and prepara-
tion—Mr. Gladstone remarked the poetical justice
with which Captain Hayter had, out of the abun-
dance of filial duty and devotion, taken up arms in
defence of the exclusive rights of the electors of
Wells, whom his own father had, as Secretary of the
Treasury, out of the abundance of his official duty
and devotion, shown himself perfectly ready and
willing to disfranchise altogether. Touching very
lightly the transparent, the almost avowed com-
plicity—even to the wording of the amendment
—with the Tory managers, Mr. Gladstone had
once more demanded of the Opposition some-
thing like the good old English Ayes and Noes,
instead of the shifting devices of amendments
so vague in style, so large and loose, and elastic
in substance, as to be intelligible only to
the dupers and the duped. To this appeal Mr.
Disraeli had, in his most artificial and uneasy
manner, replied as best he could by insisting on
the fact of both amendments having proceeded
from the side of the Government, in evidence of
the conciliatory disposition of the Conservative
Opposition, and had then indulged himself in a
copious argument, founded on statistics of his own
discovery, and to which he referred not as a partisan,
but as a disinterested witness, to prove the gross
injustice to the lauded interest which the present
Reform Bill would aggravate by leaving half the
population of the country—(Mr. Disraeli loves good
sweeping generalities)—that is, half the population
of the counties and the unrepresented county towns,
in a worse position than before. If this means any-
thing, it must mean that in the next Reform Bill to
be introduced by a Tory Govornment this monstrous
inequality will be redressed, and the landed interest,
which all the world know s is so ineffectually repre-
sented in Parliament, as the Cattle-Plague Com-
pensation debates showed, will obtain a fair share
of its rights, and no longer be serificed to the borough
populations. Nor was this the only inference to be
drawn from the most striking passage of Mr.
Disraeli's speech, which was delivered with all the
emphasis of a statesman who had been in office, and
may probably be again, and who is therefore bound

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.—
A. 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 extending
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 specialitd t.ertaining only to our prac-
tice, and for which her ➢lajesty 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.
Consultation free. Teeth from ss, Sets from 5 to 25 gs.,
warranted.

o measure his words. Alluding to Lord Grosvenor's
speech, in which that noble earl (upon whom an
unnatural and impossible parliamentary impor-
tance is being thrust by his injudicious friends,
and almost, we fear, believed in by himself) had de-
clared that he should vote for the Government on
this occasion, because he was unwilling to remove
Lord Clarendon from the Foreign-office in the pre-
sent anxious state of foreign affairs, Mr. Disraeli
affirmed the general proposition that a Foreign
Minister who succeeded in preventing war deserved
great credit ; but that a Foreign Minister who should
not succeed in preventing war might be excused if
it were understood that the Government to which
he belonged was unable to enforce its conclusion in
a Conference by making war upon the Powers that
dissented from them. And he he pointedly asked
whether the Foreign Minister who suffered England
to drift into the Crimean war, and who at the Con-
gress of Paris, in 1856, consented to terms with
Russia which it required all Lord Palmerston's
vigour and resolution to set aside, and who was party
to attacks on " the free press "of Europe"—whe-
ther, in short, the present Foreign Minister was
a man whom it would be dangerous at the present
crisis to dispense with. In this reference to some
passages in Lord Clarendon's career, Mr. Disraeli,
no dout, was not exceeding the limits of fair
fight as the leader of the Opposition. But how
could a man of Mr. Disraeli's sagacity fail to per-
ceive that he was allowing it to be inferred that, as
Foreign Minister himself, he would as representa-
tive of England in a Conference be prepared to go
to war to enforce the foreign policy of a Tory ad-
ministration—say, the policy of Austria in Italy ?
Is the house or the public prepared to accept a
change of Ministry on such terms ? This is, a ques-
tion well worth Mr. Disraeli's reflection. When
Mr. Disraeli sat down it was clear enough that
something strange was coming. And when Captain
Hayter rose this something was discovered. With
great intensity the member for Wells observed that
as Mr. Gladstone had stated that as grouping was
not a " vital principle" of the bill, he should, in
deference to the advice of Lord Grosvenor, who was
a keener antagonist of ;the Government than him-
self, withdraw his amendment. Upon this Lord
Elcho, as " one of the aboriginal Adullamites," as
he pleasingly described himself, rose also, and as
soon as he could get a hearing, told the house
that, as the David of the Adullamites had gone
over, and as he understood that the Government
had " virtually " given up their bill, he should not
divide, and he trusted the member for Wells would
persist in withdrawing his amendment. Observe
the sequel. Loud cries for a division from the
Liberal, not from the Opposition benches. When
a divisionseemed imminent the Tories left the House
almost in a body ; the Liberals remained fixed to
their seats ; so that when the question was put, the
amendment was withdrawn without a division, and
when the words " that the Speaker do now leave_
the chair" were uttered, the cheers and the groans
of the Tories had subsided to a faint and scattered
murmur, while the full force of the Government
supporters remained firm and steady at their post.
The Government, then, has defeated an amendment
which, if it meant anything, meant a vote of want
of confidence. The bill is committed, and the divi-
sion is avoided, by the Tories, because the Liberal
deserters have deserted them in turn ; but deserted
them not because they have gone back to their alle-
giance to their principles, but because they are
afraid to be responsible for a change of Ministry at
this crisis in the affairs of Europe. So far as the
Reform Bill is concerned, if the Government can be
said to be on the way to victory it is over a mined
causeway, against masked batteries, through a con-
verging fire of ambushed enemies and deserters in
the ranks behind them. This, we say, is a state of
things which, neither for its own sake nor for the
sake of the party which is more important than a
Ministry, or of a cause which is more important
than a party, it is desirable to prolong.

A New York paper states that 13 American and
English Atlantic steam lines made 454 passages in 1864
and 1855. They carried 28,279 cabin passengers, and
190,911 steerage passengers. There were 89 births and
192 deaths on board the steamers. Of the deaths 130 were
children under eight sears of age ; 21 of the deaths were
from clicslers.

THE BOMBAY MAIL.

By the arrival of the above mail we have ad-
vices from Bombay to May 13, and from Calcutta
to May 7.
The state of the cotton market still continued to
cause much anxiety in Bombay, and it was feared
serious financial disasters would occur. " For the
present, merchants and their creditors are both in a
state of most anxious suspense," says the Times of
India, and it adds :
"It is clear that nearly all who have shipped
cotton during the last three or four months are ex-
posed to enormous losses, but until the cotton is
sold, or the English market has firmly settled down
and the deficiencies are ascertained, no proceedings
consequent on those losses can be taken, and as yet
no failures are announced. There are some mer-
chants, however, who shipped early in the year,
and subsequently, to an enormous extent, who find
their local engagements maturing, and one of the
largest of these has required the combined assistance
of the banks. This has been granted as a measure
necessary for the protection of the mercantile com-
munity from a general panic. New export business
has almost ceased, though large quantities of cotton
are being shipped in completion of former arrange-
ments ; but prices in Bombay have not fallen in pro-
portion to the present low prices in Liverpool, and
there is a disposition on the part of cotton holders
to store their bales in the hope of better prices after
the monsoon. A larger proportion of the cotton
crop of Western India has already been shipped
than at a similar period in any former year. This
is owing mainly to the attraction of high prices, but
also in great measure to improved railway facilities.
The fact of so large a proportion of the crop hav-
ing been already brought from the Mofussil has been
overlooked by the buyers in Bombay and the native
shippers. They have competed with each other for
the produce—indeed, it is said a combination to keep
up the price has existed—so that the shipments of
the last three months have generally been made at
prices which could only pay if the Liverpool mar-
ket had remained steady at its highest point. As
more than half a million bales have been shipped
from Bombay since 1865, the aggregate loss
fo
city is very serious, but the cultivators will have
e
reaped some advantage owing to the speculative
temper under which the merchants made their rth
pur-
chases in the Mofussil.
The Bombay Gazette says
that the chief sting of
the suffering will be felt by a few great firms who

of cotton cleared from the port of Bombay in
January was 171,000 bales; in February, 123,000
bales ; in March, 138,000 bales ; and in April,
150,000 bales, figures large enough to indicate the
magnitude of the losses which must be met by
Bombay houses. " Under the pressure of the
panic (continues the Gazette) the best shares in the
market have suffered an enormous depreciation.
In July of last year the share market was utterly
prostrated, but since, under an active trade in
cotton, stocks recovered much of their buoyancy ;
but they have again sunk, some of them below
the prices of July. The Bank of Bombay flares
