continuance of peace.
" Tne arrangements connected with the full
execution of the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris

of the contracting parties to that treaty, all tha'
remains to be done with reference to its stipu-

"Iler Majesty commands us to inform you that
the extensive mutinies which hwe broken out
among the native tro3p3 of the army of Bengal,
followed by serious disturbances in many parts of
that Presidency, have occasioned t) her Majesty
extreme conce-rn ; and the barbarities which havt
been inflicted upon many of her Majesty's subject-
in India, and the sufferings which have been
endure], have filled her Majesty's heart with th,
deepest grief ; while the conduct of many civil an(l
military officers who have been placed in circum-
stances of much difficulty, an I have been exposeo
to great danger, has excited her Majesty's warmest
admiration.

" Her Majesty commands inform you th:st
she will omit no measure calculated to quell these
grave disorders ; and her Majesty is confident that,
with the blessing of Providence, the powerful mean,
at her disposal will enable her to accomplish that
end.

-II Br-HOWARD, WirgeOti-Dentist, 52, Fleet,
street, has introduced an entirely new description of MITI-
F iCIAL TEETH , fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be touhd very superior to any teeth ever before used.
Tale method does not rvuire the extraction of roots, or any painful
aeration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
maranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo-
nical, he has flied the charges at the lowest icale possible. De-
cayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At home item ten till five.

LAMENT OF A MAIDIN PRISON.

(From Punch.)
To think what I am come to from a comfortable place !
Here I ham a pickin' hocum, brought to trouble and dis-
grace ;
Aunt allowanced to bare wittles, that hal meat with hovery
meal
Halt along of bein' tempted in a hevil 'our to steal.
Drat that there rag and bone warns !—if I'd never sin their
bill, •
I might have kop in service and have live-1 in plenty still,
If I to their persuasions hadn't never lent my mind,
A. d ue'er know'd what hard labour was, which now, a lass,
I find.

I first begun with kitching stuff disposin', on the sly,
And then I sold the drippin' which I ort to h•►ve put by,
To melt it down fur gravy when I had a jint to toast,
Not content with spreadia' butter upon both sides ( f my
toast.

Bones also I got rid of, which for stock I should have saved,
Which I repents of when I thinks how fool-like I be-ave,l
Then bottics to the wiue•merchsnts that back was to have
gone,
And so to towels, napkins, and sich-like, I soon got on.
'Twas very stoopid on me that much I will confess,
And next I took to pi it,criu' and to sellio' bits of dross.
One thing leads to another, and one don't know where one

stops, - •
When one begins to steal things for to sell to them there
shop.?.
At last, ill-luck would have it, by chance, as I may say,
Some spoons and forks was minin', and our Idissus in a way;
The servants alilleuied it, both the others and me too,
And sore we wasn't capable rich wickedness to do.
But Alissus wouldn't listen to a word ; and did insist,
And would have a policeman iutosearch for what was mist;
He goes into our bedrooms, and everytbink unlocks,
Lo and behold you ! there they was, sincreted,in ray box.
So them dishonest courses by degraes j.s I pursued,
Has led me from good service to penal servitude. •
t3ynos'u steal to sell at shops that deaf in rags and
Take wainin' all' you maid-servants that hears ray cries

inclined to toss that bottle now empty but safely colt, ea

'I he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
eauences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, ani excesses,
which have produced more misery. in Youth, degradation in M..n-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of dig ase known to modern patholozists. its pert-sal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaininz secret doubts of
their phys c nditlon, end who are conscious of having hazarded
the iina'`h, happiness, and privileges to which every human being Is
eatiticsl. .

It 1,1 rhsolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
rineiples of personal management which cannot he violated with-
out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret rue-
,eed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
indhowthe evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all,
that the,e is scai-cely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
lerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot a,ply a cure.

THAMES.

THROWING RUBBISH INTO THE THAHRS.—Thomas
R ley, Woe Wee,d Nerd, and James Casey were brought
before Mr. Yardley, charged with throwing rubbish into
the Thames.
Lisp c.or Everest, of the Thames Police, st•ited that
at half-past 12 o'clock this morning he was on duty in
a police galley off Stone.teairs, Ratcliff, when he heard
a noise of something going overboard into the water.
The *pinching continued, and bo ordered his men to row
round a tier of shipping, and get between two vessels.
Directly afterwards the prisoners advanced towards him
in a tug boat, and wt re throwing overboard a quantity of
West India pineapple rubbiab, conistiug ofstalks, leaves, ,
and rotten pine apples. He put his galley alongside the
lug 1)1:4, and the prisoners then endeavoured t I conceal
thernelvee. He went into the lug boat and took the
prisoners into custody. There was a small quantity of
pine apple rubbish on board the lug boat. The inspector
then produced some of it.
Mr. Yardley—That would float away.
Everest—No, sir. One tide woull sink it—at least a
great part of it.
The prisoners said they were not aware they were
doing wrong. There was not more than a cartload of
rubs-ish in the lug boat.
Mr. Yardley —But you Inuit be aware it is unlawful.
Nothing impure met go into the Thames. (A. laugh.)
The prisoners— There is nothing impure in the pine
apple rubbish. We have been in the practice of throw-
iug the stuff into the river. -
Mr. Yardley.—You must not do it again. There are
hundreds of tons ef impure matter flowing into the
Thames every day from the Bowen., but you must not
throw anything impure into the river. That is the law.
For what reason there is such a law, is not for me to
diicuse. I naus•. admiuister the law as I find it, and you
must pay respect to it. Who's the captain t
atii, sir.
Mr. Yardley.—Very well ; I fine you 5?. for throwing
rubbish into the Thames. The others may go.

*** We do not pretend to any knowledge of General

Crimea has been appointed to accompany the Prince of
Wa'es in a tour up the Rhine, we do but txpress the

`either he is too good for a walking gentleman, or was
not good enough for a great command.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE TIMES.

Sir,—l offer my thank* for the publicity given by sou
to the testimony of so many officers in support of my
statement toilet ing the battle of Fuentes d'Onoro. Capt.
Blialn ont will now, I trust, remove the imputation of
r3r p.ffixed t,) my version in his "Life of Weqing•
ton." The conditions he l.id down in his 1, tter h .ve
been fulfill,d. But, in addition, I have received fr.to
Major-General Davis and Col. M`Pherson assurances, in
writing of the correctness of my statement ; and I think
I may, without personal communication, add the names
of Lieut.-Ger.erAl Sr Harry Smith and Lieut.-General
G. Ferguso,, the present Governor of Gibraltar.
Lastly, I e-close a letter from the Duke of Richmond,
and requtst the favour of its insertion. The Duke was
on Wellington's person.' staff at the battle.

"To LIEUT -GENERAL NAPIER, AUG 24.
"I can confirm your statement respecting Fuentes
d'Onoro. The outposts of the Guards, under the corn
wand of Lieut.-Colonel Hill, were in the act of getting
together when they were ordered to extend ; at that
moment the enemy's. o ►valry charged, and of course took
si me prisoners, and sabred a few ; the Lieut.-Colonel
Was taken.
"I wish the cavalry had ever attempted cne of our
squar, s, as it would have put a stop to the
which has since been expressed, that Dragoons have the
slightest chance against an infantry square. I lelieye
that only two battalions of the Guards were with the
Duke's army at that period. " RIMDIOND."

LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1857.

The session of Parliament which has this day
been brought to a close was in some respects one of
peculiar interest to the community. There bad
been an appeal to the nation—Lord PALMERSTON
had fearlessly gone to the country on a question ;
of foreign policy, and confidence or no confidence
was the great issue on which a verdict was to be
return'. Never was there a more decisive
response. The Chinese policy of the Government
was euiphatically c3nfirrned, and many popular
members were rejected in consequence of the
oppositu)n they had ogered to Ministers on that
interesting topic. The " lirehites" were rejected by
the almost unanimous voice of the people. Those
who escaped the fate of many of their brethren
did so, not in consequence, but in sp;te of their
peculiar opinions on that subject. The Peelites,
who took a leading part in the discussion, were
all but extinguished ; there were a few leaders,
but no followers, the rank and file were cut off
without a solitary survivor remaining to receive
the commands of their generals.
There wore a vast number of new members, a
larger proportion indeed, than were returned at
any time since the election after the passing of the
1"d1t Magna Charfa, the Reform Act. Two
teats only were required, viz., that the candidate
should he
ee a supporter of Lord PALMERSTON, and a
Pratatlilg reformer. The former because the
mainte "'awe of the national honour nu ler the
ex;etine eirentnetenees was of paramount imper•
eauce, ear beyond anything else th could arise.
The le ,ter in respect cf the promised Reform
Bill, ti)at was t) be introduced neat session, and
which whatever might be its fate, would
render the present Parliament but short-liver',
inasmuch, as if carried, tlere would cer-
tainly be a disseluticn in order to ebt,iu a
representation in accordance with the regula-
tions which were approved of by the
n aloe,
Ikl
and afro, if rejected, as Lerd PAL ERSTON
would then appeal, on the question of Reform,
before surrendering the Government to other

bands.
Thee could certainly, at first, be no grounds
for Ministerial comphints respecting the doe; lay
of the junior representatives. Whatever Mutts-
tem as.ked was carried by an overwhelming
majority.' Subsequently the nod homilies be-
came less manageablo, and sundry Ministerial
defeats were sustained, just to show that they
had not everything their own way, and must
respect the popular will.
The Jew Bill, which was to be the great event
of ' thc Session, was sent triumphantly to the
Upper House, but was contumeliously rejected.

DECIMAL COINAGE.

Mr. INGRAM asked the Chatic,l'or of the Excl e-
quer, why tha rcplies to Lerd Overt ,ne's questions
upon the decimal c ,inage, which have been setae time
in print, are not delivered t. this hue 7
The CHANCELLOR of the EX')ll EQ LJE It said that
the reilies rtferr, d to were in the hands of the com-
mittee, bur, the Government had not yet received them.
As soon as the c ,n-ntttee r • ported them they would
be laid on the table of the hou4e.

TELEGRA.PHIC CO NI I,t UNICATION `Aura
INDIA. _ _

Mr. BRISCOE aske(l4- hat arrangements had been
made by the Government with reference to telegraphic
comrnunicatioo with India I
L,,rd PALNIERS LON said the Euphrates line of
telegraph had been trid.r• aken by a private
company, wits some contingent arrangements with
the 1.1,;m-... and In.lian Governments, but her
Nl.j.,sty's Government had been informed that
the Turkish Government Lad refused its sanction
to tue scheme. With regard to the Suez and RA Sea
line there .sae, he beli red, a priva'e company contem-
plating such a scheme, and, as far as the Government
cool 1, without the assistance of parliament, they would
give it every encouragement.
SUFFER,ERS BY TilE INDIAN munNi2s.
Sir 1)E LACY EVANS ad:ed whether the widows
and orphans of those persons connected with the civil
and military service in India, who had lost their laves in
the mutiny, would be provided with the ineaus of re-
turniu4 to this country free of all coat ?
L rd PALMERS ro:c said 119 arrangement coul I be
made until more dettilA accounts bad ueen received
