R. HOWARD, surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
Ic lAI.T F. ET , fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
erfectly resemble the nataral teeth as not to be distinguished from
'he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
ecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
his method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
peration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
ara n teed to restore articulation and mastication; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo-
mical, he has fixed the charges at the lowest scale possible. De-
cayed teeth stopped and nindered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At home from ten till five.

! it was his intention to propose a bill on the subject of
national education in Scotllnd ?

The LOUD ADVOCATE said that ton- would not
permit of his introducing an education bill this session.
He hoped to introduce a comprehensive system next
year.

GREENWICH HOSPITAL.
In reply to Sir W. CODRINOTON,
Sir C. WOOD said that the Order in Council of 1819,
relative to the half-pay of naval and military officers, was
founded on a permissive act, and it did not grant half
pay to certain officers holding offices at Greenwich and
Chelsea. These officers had-always been considered as
retired officers, aid not entitled to their half pay.
ELECTION PETITIONS.
The following election petitions were ordered to be
referred to the General Committee of Elections :—Mal-
don, Lanark County, Weymouth, Bridport, Ipswich (2),
Falkirk, Clare, Drogheda (2), Sligo County, Hunting-
don County (21, Honiton and Athlone.
DUBLIN PORT.

Mr. VANCE moved for a committee of the whole
house for leave to bring in a bill to repeal certain
duties on ships entering the port of Dublin, and other
imposts aff,cting its trade and commerce. He com-
[flaked of this tax as oppressive to the inhabitants and
detrimental to the trade of Dublin, and he con-
tended that they ought to he abolished. It was
in vain to expect relief from a general measure, and
therefore it was that he proposed to introduce this bill.
Should, however, a general measure be introduced he
would give way to the Government.
Mr. GROGAN seconded the motion.
Mr. LONE t•aid that the Government felt it to
be their duty not to let this measure go a
single step in that house. These dues amounted to about
8,000/.,,-which w paid- to the consolidated fund ad
interest for kr:OM...advanced-by- the Government to
improve Kingstown harbour, and besides that the
Government advanced money to pay off the debt on the
Cora Exchange, so that they received but a small
sum as interest for the large sums the Government had
advanced to Dublin. In addition to this the Govern-
ment paid the City of Dublin , 2,5001. a-year for
giving up certain differential dues. It was true
that last year he proposed to abolish these dues, but
then that was as a part of a general measure. He ob-
jecte to these dues being made the subject of a sepa-
rate measure.

Mr. GROGAN supported eie motion at great length,
urging that these duties ought not to be levied on the
trade of the city of Dublin. It was necessary some-
thing should be done to relieve the trade of this unjust
impost.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
the two members for Dublin objected last year to a mea-
sure of a general character for the remission of flipping
dues, and now they came forward and asked for
the remission of those dues in Dublin, which were
made over to the Government' for large advances of
putlic money. Such a proceeding we, very much like
repudiation on the part of the city of Dublin. He felt
it his duty to resist the motion.
Col. FRENCH condemned the conduct of the Go-
verment in resisting the motion, and contrasted it
with the permission they gave for the introduction of
English bills, whether the Government agreed with
them in principle or not. He thought Irish members
ought to be allowed to introduce measures for the benefit
of Ireland, seeing that there was no Irish Secretary fur
Ireland, nor an Irishman in the Cabinet to look after
Ireland's wants.
Lord PALMERSTON said the Government bad no
wish, to deal with Ireland in an exceptional manner,
but Irish members. He would make a compromise

with the hon. members for Ireland, and if they would
support him in a general measure, he would introduce
Dublin to a participation of its benefits. (Laughter.)
Lord CLAUDE HAMILTON condemned the con-
duct of the Government in refusing the introduction of
the bill. He could only attribute it to the justice of the
demand for Dublin, and that the Government were
afraid that if the bill was introduced it would be estab-
lished.

Mr. VANCE said if the Government would allow him

to bring in this bill be would withdraw in on a general
measure being introduced by the Government. If that
was not acceeded to be should divide the house.

Mr. DISRAELI, without giving any opinion on the
merits of the case, urged that the Government ought
not to resist this motion, especially as they agreed last
year to the principle of abolishing these dues, in a com-
prehensive measure brought forward by them, but which
did not pass the house. He asked the noble lord to re-
consider his decision, and give permission for the
introduction of this bill.

church with regard to marriage. Schavini laid i t
down that in those places where the decree of the
Council of Trent was published—and Ireland Wits in-
cluded—marriages performed otherwise than before a
priest, and in the manner laid down by the Rothan
catholic church, were clandestine, and null and void.
If that was so—if at any time . any question arose
with regard to the sucaeseion to the throne of these
realms—the Queen was illegitimate, as her parents,
according to that, were not married, and she herself
was not married because they were not married by a
priest of the church of Rome. Mr. O'Hanlan, contro-
verting the doctrine of Bally, which, he said was dietaete-
ful to Rome, as he made a distinction bet veen a civil
marriage'and a sacrament, laid down that no marriage
among Christians would be valid unless it was treated as
a sacrament. So that this country was paying fur the
teaching of the doctrine that all other marriages than
those performed according to the dictum of the Romish
Church were invalid. He now came to another book,
which was laid aside at Maynooth in 1826, but which
had been revived, and which treated of the purdshtneet
of heretics and schismatics, who were, it was said, not to
be tolerated when they departed from the truth, which
was only to be found in the Ronoish Church ; and it was
declared that all princes who ruled over the civil state
ought to coerce arid expel such enemies of the Catholic
Church. What said Bellarmini on the same emerille ? He
said that our Lord did not forbid the extirpation of here-
tics, but he added that when they were stronger than the
Roman Catholics then they were to be quiet. Could any
one justity this ? He now came to a document to which
he wished to call the attention of the notle vi-count at
the head of the Government. It was an election petition
from a Roman Catholic (Cal. Higgins) formerly a member
of that house, which stated in substance that the Roman
Catholic priesthood of Mayo, previously to and during the
late election, at large meetings and i 4 the chapels, de-
nounced him, and asserted that the electors would advance
the glory of God and save their souls from eternal dam-
nation by voting for the sitting member. That was a state-
ment of a gentleman of weight and position, not by a Pro-
testant, but by a Roman Catholic. But it went further,
and stated that the Roman Cathelie clergy openly invoked
the curse of the Almighty on all who refused to vote for
the sitting member, and declared that the souls of those
who voted against him, or declined to vote, would be
col,signed to eternal punishment hereafter, and that the
said priests acted as tally agents in the election. Surely
that deserved the attention of the house, It was a state-
ment which a gentleman was ready to provs on oath.
With regard to this very question Mr. 0. Harlem, in his
evidence before the Maynooth Commission, stated that
the priest, had no right to interfere in elections ; isut the
vodeg might be the occasion of sin, and in that case
they bad a right to refuse to the sinning voter the privi-
leges of the church. When the priests educated at May-
nooth went forth and told the electors that this was a
doctrine which Parliament sanctioned, could it be
doubted that the people would think it was right ?
There was a gentleman who, owing to the neglect of the
Attorney-General to do his duty, called himself a Roman
Catholic Bishop of Liverpool, who in laying the founda-
tion-stone of a chapel was reported to have said that
" the Roman Catholics must have their rights by stand
ing up for them." (Cheers.) That was just what he (\lr.
Spooner) eiaepected. (dear.) " The day had gone by when
Roman Catholics were to bow their heads nod live—they
must gain their rights—and must have them." (Cheers.)
These cheers would be well understood by the pub-
lic, and the voice of the public would be against
those who uttered them. The Roman Catholics
should have their rights as citizens, but they should not
have the right to be the ruling dominant church of this
land. The Roman catholics would never be content un-
til they put themselves at least on a level with the Es-
