scription of ARTIFICIAL TEE I`ll, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so psrfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or auy painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth i hat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

THE SUN, LONDON, SAIITEDA EVENING, JULY 25, 1868.

Mr. MILNER GIBSON seconded the motion.

Home Department whether it was known to the police
authorities that the person of the name of James
Finlen, who introduced a deputation on Saturday
last to the right hon. member for South Lanca-
shire, and who afterwards presided at a meeting
in Hyde Park on Sunday, " to advocate the destruction of
the Irish Church," at which a mock Litany was recited,
was the person wh') was recently a pdd advocate at a
place in Leicestm-square, called the Judg,, and Jury So-
ciety; and whether Finlen was dismissed from that em-
ploy•nent as 1111W01 thy a his associates ?
Mr. 1.1.1R1)Y said the matter referred to in the question
lid not come within his province, and therefore he offi-
cially knew nothing of thl matter.

Air. GLADSTONE said he should like to Fay that he
know nothing of the person named Finlen further than
that he accompanied a deputation, and that ha was a par-
son who took a part in the reform agitation; further than
that he knew not hicg.
Sir C. RUSSELL hoped the right hon. gentleman would
not think that he supposed ho did. lie only asked the
question to prevent that individual using the weight that
attached to his (Mr. Gladstone's) name for his own personal
purposes.

CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL.
On the motion for the third reading of this hill,

Mr. FAWCETT moved that the bill be re-committed,
with a view of reintroducing a clause throwing the
expenses of candidates on the ratepayers. Re disclaimed
all intention, by adopting the course ho did, to peril the
passing of the bill.

Mr. DISRAELI hoped the hon. member would not per-
severe in attempting to impede the progress of Jhe bill
by pressing his motion. It would, in fact, be to peril alto-
gether the passing of the bill, and he disclaimed altogether
that anything was done during the former discussion not
justified by the rules of the house.

Mr. LEEMAN and Mr. Hors were in favour of the
motion.

Mr. HENLEY thought that it was useless to fritter
away the time in needless discussion, and the best thing to
b 3 done was to read the bill a third time, if they were
really in earnest:to deal with bribery. He thought it was
rather a dirty thing for a candidate to do to ask the rate -
payers, who already had quite enough to contend with, to
pay the expenses of his election. (Hear, hear.)

PRIC.E.... ...... 4d.
STAMPED sd.

The house then divided, when there appeared—
For the recommittal of the bill
Against it

Majority in favour of Government... 11
The bill was then read a third time and passed.
REGULATION OF RAILWAYS BILL.

The house then went into committee on this
bill, the object of which is to improve the
arrrangements for travelling on railways. Various
ameidments were proposed, the most Important of which
was that of fixing the time to three months after the
passing of the act when means of communication should
be made between passengers and guards in all trains run-
ning 20 miles without stopping.
Another amendment agreed to was the giving to com-
panies power to divide ordinary stock into two classes.

The consideration of the other amendments to the bill
occupied up to seven o'clock, at which hour the sitting
was suspended. _ . _

On resuming at nine o'clock a somewhat animated and
unexpected discussion arose.
Mr. JACOB BRIGHT moved that the house at its rising
do adjourn till Monday, contending that after the heavy
sittings of the week it was too much to take business
that was likely to be strongly opposed on a Saturday
morning.

Mr. DISRAELI trusted that the hon. member would
not press to a division until the business of the evening
was concluded, when they could judge by the progress
made whether it would be necessary to sit to-day, more
especially after the loss of the previous night by the
"count out." Prom the high character gained by the
hon. gentleman during the short time that he had sat
in the house, he was sure that he would not interrupt
the business at this period of the session ; but he was as-
tonished that one who had been a Minister of the Crown,
and had had so much experience, should have seconded
the motion.

Mr. M. GIBSON protested against any measure like
the Foreign Cattle-market Bill being taken on Saturday,
taunting the country members with being absent on
Thursday night when they might have kept a house.

Mr. G. HARDY denounced the whole procedure as being
dictated by factious opposition to the Foreign Cittle-tuar-
ket Bill.

Mr. GIBSON moved that the woriis bo taken down.
The SPEAKER real the standing order, and said the
motion for adjournment was perfectly regular. lie cer-
tainly thought the words of the Home Secretary were un-
justifiable.
Mr. G. HARDY at once expressed his regret. It was,
however, ho contended, always usual to sit on Saturdays,
if there was a pressure of business.
Major PARKER said that the motion was unjustifiable,
and very dubious if not zontemptible.
On the partial restoration of political calm,
Mr. BLAKE and other hon. members consented to with-
draw the motions which they had put down on the propo-
sition for adjournment; but Mr. NEATE would persist in
delivering a speech on the report of a select committee on
the Bristol,election, and agitating a debate, although a
brief one, on the subject.

A discussion then ensued on Mr. HEADLAM calling
attention to the operation of orders regulating the cattle
trade, upon his constituents of Newcastle-on-Tyne, the
effect of which was to prevent the importation of cattle
from healthy foreign districts.

The house then divided, and having negatived the mo-
tion for adjournment by 105 to 38, went on to again con-
sider the bill in committee.

The discussion of the various clauses went on until a
very late hour, when the bill was withdrawn.
....

The remaining business was disposed of, and the house
adjourned.

" The commonly received idea twat their interest in
the continuation of-the corruptions in the collection
of the taxes on whisky, although confesscdlya strong
motive, is hardly a sufficient one, and certainly not
the only one operating on Woolley and his friends.
Woolley te,tifies that he came here in the interest of
Mr. Pendleton to endeavour to make him the candi-
date of the Democratic party, and, of course, to elect
him to the Presidency. It would be very desirable,
t h2refore, to place the President of the United StAes,
with -the immense patronage of his office, under obli-
gations to the friends of Mr. Pendleton, so that the
power of the administration might be wielded in
Mr. Pendleton's favour, as well in the notnitiai m
as in the election. The President of the Unitel
States, by an extraordinary message to Congress,
in commendation 'of the military administration
of General Hancock in Louisiana, had brought
him forward protein -flatly as a candidate for the
Democratic. nomination. To wean the President
from this preference for Hancock, and bring him
to the support of Mr. Pendleton by laying him
under obligations to the triends of Mr. Pendleton,
was at once the object and end of Woolley's labours.
What greater obligations could Andrew Johnson be
under than to owe to the successful efforts of the
accredited agent of Mr. Pendleton his acquittal upon
a trial where conviction would end his official ca-
reer, and render him for ever infamous? The fact
that the President has nominate,lsince the acquittal
so many of those engaged with Woolley to prominent
offices attests his grateful appreciation of their la-
bours and recognition of their services. Mr. Statibery,
and Mr. Evarts as Attorney-General, Mr.,. Smythe
as Minister to Austria, LaCey as collector of inter-
nal revenue at New Orleans,' and Perry Fuller as
commissioner of internal revenue. Indeed, one
reason why your committee have thus reported in
part, at as early a day as possible, while the in-.
vestigation is unfinished, is that the report might
become the index of the executive business of the
Senate to the nominations before them."

TILE NE IV MINING COMMISSIONER

THE MANAGERS' REPORT OF THE IMPEACH-
MENT INVESTIGATION.

The report is long and minute, but presents
nothing conclusive or important. The Springfield
Republican says they sum un their labours with an
apology for devoting so much time and attention to
it, and offer it only as an exhibit "of the quality
of the men who were the devoted friends of
President Johnson, the companions and aids of
his counsel to procure his acquittal and foil
the justice of the nation." The seizure of
telegraphic despatches is alluded to as an or-
dinary power confided to every justice of the
peace of the country," but the exercise of which by
the managers has been the subject of much senseless
and useless vituperation. The leading facts which
the report discloses may be very briefly summed up.
Soon after the adjournment of the July session
of 1867, the Custom-house employes of New York
commenced to raise money to be used in procur-
ing the acquittal of the President should he be
Impeached, and when the trial actually occurred
the New York Custom-house furnished $lOO,OOO,
raised by the exertions of Collector Smythe and
William H. Appleton, Philadelphia $2,700, and
Baltimore $2,500. Edmund Cooper was treasurer
of the fund, but in what manner it was expended
the report does not explain. Concerning Sena-
tor Henderson's vote, the committee adduce con-
siderable testimony, mainly confirmatory of the
reports which were current at the time the ver-
dict was rendered; that only the night before the
vote was taken the Senator had expressed his in-
tention to vote for the eleventh Article ; and re-
specting Senator Ross, testimony is offered that he
declared himself for conviction on the eleventh
Article as late as 11 o'clock p.m. on the day be-
fore the verdict. The managers do not attempt
to account for the sudden change, but follow
it closely with the testimony respecting Woolley's
grand dinner on the evening of May 15, at which
S. S. Cox, W. M. Evarts, W. S. Groesbeck, Sam
Ward, and Sheridan Shook were present, and of
the arrival at Washington that night of Col-
lector Smythe of New York. The report shows
that Senator Fowler, of Tennessee, was one of the
earliest and original impeachers, and that Senator
Van Winkle, of West Virginia, prepared an opinion
in favour of the eleventh Article, but offers no ex-
planation of the change in their position. Consider-
able space is devoted to tracing the origin of the
" Chase movement," so called, and to clear-
ing Senator Pomeroy's record in regard to his
alleged intrigues to dispose of his vote, by
exchanging it for the control of the Lea-
venworth Post-office. The letters affecting Mr.
Pomeroy's character are shown to have been
mainly forgeries, and the whole force of the de-
monstration against him seems to have been more
with the purpose of capturing Senator Ross and
his vote, which were sure if Senator Pomeroy
was secured. Mr. Woolley's connection with
the business the committee regard as wholly
in the interest of Mr. Pendleton for the Pre-
sidency, and they have no proof that the
money which he disbursed in large amounts
went directly into the bands of Senators, though
they believe that it was used to influence votes. The
committee do not credit the activity of Woolley
and his friends to secure the acquittal of the Presi-
dent so much to their interest in the whisky
ring as to their desire to help Mr. Pendleton's
nomination, and conclude their report in the fol-
lowing words, frankly acknowledging its object :

FOR THE PACIFIC STATES.,

Mr. Raymond, the new Commissioner for the
collection of mining statistics, arrived at San Fran-
cisco on Whit-Sunday, and ou Monday evening ad-
dressed the California Academy of Sciences. Mr.
Raymond, who still retains his post as editor of the
American journal of mining, made a very favour-
able impression on all his hearers. After alluding
to the causes that had prevented Congress from
making the usual appropriations for research on the
Pacific coast, he explained that his object for the
present summer was to observe, study, and listen,
and, by personal observation, to acquaint himself
with the condition, prospects, and requirements of
the mining interest. He could not attempt to do
justice to particular districts, or to travel every-
where. lie should be governed entirely for the
present by his own judgment as to what he
ought to visit, for the purpose of inform-
ing himself, and so preparing for greater use-
fulness and effective action when the neces-
sary means should be put in his hands. If he
found next October that he had any valuable
ideas, he should communicate them to the Govern-
ment. If not, he hoped to have sufficient moral
courage to confess the fact, and to abstain from a
report. Mr. Raymond paid a high compliment to
the industry, sincerity, and ability of his prede-
cessor, lion. J. Ross Browne, and showed that it
was now necessary for the work to take a new shape
and direction. The duty concerned first the Legi-
lature ; second the citizens of the country ; and
finally science. It was his business, primarily, to
furnish such information and advice to the
Government as would form a sound basis for legisla7
tive action. If incidentally this information should
be valuable to the public, so much the better ;
and if the interest of science could also be sub-
served, then the highest aim would be accom-
plished. But the first duty was to the Govern-
ment,. and concerned therefore the relations be-
tween the Government and the mining indus-
try. Mr. Raymond then presented his views
upon the general subject of governmental interfer-
ence with mining. He claimed that as the product
of mining, though of permanent value, is from a
limited and exhaustible source, while agriculture
furnishes a supply of perishable wealth from a
perennial source; and furthermore, since the mis-
takes and losses of mining are td ?a certain extent
irrevocab:e and irremediable, while those of agri-
culture are repaired by time ,ind skill, Government
has a certain relation to mining, as a trustee of the
resources of the country, which it does not claim
toward agriculture. He was opposed, however, to
all burdens and restrictions on the miner. lie
thought the Government should meddle with no
industry; but there were two points in which the
Government was bound to legislate, the first for the
sake of the miner and the second for the sake of the
country. The first was the question of title, which
should be settled on some equitable, free, and uni-
form basis. The second was a necessary safeguard
against wanton or ignorant waste and destruction
of our mineral resources. For this purpose he be-
lieved a National School of Mines would be the beat
and the only means. He thought mining education
was worth five hundred mining laws. The subject
of a National School of Mines was too great a sub-
ject to be discussed that evening, but he believed in
a really national school— not local, not State, but
national. He did not think that a bureau would
do the work. It must be a school of mines, and a
school in which mining was to be the specialty—
not mineralogy, not general science, but the
business of mining. He knew that they were
going to have a university, and he hoped it
would be a good one, but he believed that it
never should supersede the necessity for a Na-
tional School of Mines. He proceeded to speak
of the feeling of the mining community with
regard to scientific men. There were too many
who imagined that every man who came from Ger-
many, or called himself doctor, was a perfect
oracle. Again, there was a class to the full as in-
credulous, who never would believe that any man
with a handle to his name could be anything
better than a humbug. Here in California, how-
ever, above all other places known, men took their
places for what they were worth ; and he never
would believe that while science is knowledge, and
knowledge is power, science would be " played
out " here. Mr. Raymond closed with the expres-
sion of his belief that the extension of knowledge
among the people is the true and only security for
our democratic institutions and our national glory.
