J. MACLENNAN begs to announce, that, anticipating an unusual demand for MANTLES this Season, he has made
arrangements with one of the most eminent Mantle Houses in Paris to send him Weekly all the Novelties as they make their
appearance, and is daily expecting the first delivery, of which due notice will be given by advertisement when ready for
showing. At the same time he takes this opportunity of thanking the Public for the handsome manner in which they have
responded to his past endeavours, which gives an impulse to his exertions to maintain that superiority (which even the Trade
admits) of always having the largest, most elegant, and fashionable Selection of MANTLES, combined with economy, to be
had in any one Establishment in England.

TIIE FRAUD IN HAY.—The Duke of NEWCASTLE, in
reply to the Earl of MALMESBURY, stated that the name
of the contractor who had supplied forage containing filth
and rubbish for the horses proceeding to the East was not
Sturges, but Sturgeon ; Thomas Sturgeon and Sons, of
Grays, Essex.—Lord CAMPBELL gave it as his opinion
that such an offence was punishable by the common law
of England.—The Duke of NEWCASTLE said that the
matter had been placed in the hands of the solicitor to
the department in which the fraud was committed, and, if
he deemed a prosecution warrantable, the offenders would
be immediately proceeded against.

Bills of Sale Bill, and the Valuation (Ireland) Bill passed
through committee.

FOIE STOPPING DECAYED TEETII.-.
Price 2s. 6d. Patronised by Her Majesty the Queen,
and His Royal Highness Prince Albert.
MR. HOWARD'S PATENT WHITE SUCCEDANEUM,
For filling Decayed Teeth, however large the cavity, even if
the Tooth is Broken down to the Gums. It is superior to
anything ever before used, as it is placed in the tooth in a soft
state, without any pressure or pain, and in a short time be-
comes as hard as the enamel, and will remain firm in the
tooth for many years, rendering extraction unnecessary. It
arrests all further progress of decay, and renders them again
useful in mastication. All persons can use the Succedaneum
themselves with ease, as full directions are enclosed.
Prepared only by THOMAS HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 17,
George-street, Hanover-square, London, who will send the
Succedaneum free by Post to any part of the Kingdom, Price
2s. 6d. Sold by all respectable Medicine Vendors in the king-
dom. LOSS OF TEETH.
A new and very curious invention connected with Dental
Surgery has been introduced by Mr. HOWARD, it is the pro-
duction of an entirely new description of Artificial Teeth,
fixed by his New Patent System of Self-adhesion and Capillary
Attraction without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so per-
fectly resemble natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from
the originals by the closest observer. They will never change
colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the extrac-
tion of any teeth or roots, or any painful operation whatever,
and from the nature of the materials used the most perfect fit
is obtained. The invention is of importance to many persons,
and those who are interested in it, should avail themselves of
this new method.

Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 17, George-street, Hanover-
square, London. At home from n till 4.
Mr. HOWARD'S new principle of fixing Artificial Teeth has
obtained the approbation and recommendation of the follow-
ing eminent Physicians and Surgeons :—Sir James Clark,
Bart., Physician to her Majesty; Dr. Locock, Physician Ac-
coucheur to her Majesty; Sir B: C. Brodie, Bart., Sergeant
Surgeon to her Majesty; Sir D. Davies physician to her
Majesty the Queen Dowager; Dr. Merriman, Physician to

The Ashton-under-Line and Dukinfield-bridge Bill was
read a third time and passed.
I A NEW WRIT was ordered for the borough of Liskeard,
in the room of Mr. Crowder, who has accepted the office
of a puisne judge in the Court of Common Pleas.
PETITIONS against the sale of intoxicating liquors on
Sunday were presented by Mr. HINDLEY, from the dis-
trict of Christ Church, Ashton-under-Line, and by Mr.
HEYWOOD, from inhabitants of Blackpool, in Lancashire.
On the motion of Mr. H. T. LIDDELL, it was ordered
that a new writ should issue for the election of a member
for the borough of Tynemouth, in the room of Mr. H.
Taylor, unseated, his election having been declared void.
FRAUDULENT HAY.—An inquiry by Colonel BLAIR,
relative to the forage fraud, extracted from Sir J. GILL-
HAM and Mr. B. OSBORNE the following facts :—That
there was no actual contract ; that tenders were adver-
tised for, but no contractor appeared, and an arrange-
ment was made for the supply of the necessary forage
without a contract ; that the name of the party implicated
had been incorrectly given in the other house, owing to
hurry at the bar; that the real parties were Sturgeon and
Son, of Grays, Essex ; that there were five other parties
whose hay was of an inferior quality ; and, lastly, that
legal or, if necessary, legislative proceedings would be
taken in the matter.

GAMING HOUSES.—The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved
for leave to bring in a bill to remedy the defects in the
law relating to gaming-houses. He proposed to make the
system of barring out the police a substantive offence ; to
extend the provision contained in the Bth and 9th of
Victoria, chap. 109, section 8; to authorise magistrates
to select from parties brought before them, some for pro-
secution, and others to be witnesses ; and to make the
giving a false name and address an offence. Leave was
given to introduce the bill.

IRISh GRAND JUEIES.—A debate of some length
arose upon a motion by Mr. MACARTNEY to nominate the
Select Committee on Grand Jury Laws (Ireland), Mr. F.
SCULLY moving, as an amendment (one of four amend-
ments of which notice had been given), that the order for
the appointment of the committee be discharged, which
was at length agreed to.
TUE INcomE-TAX.—The Income-tax Bill was read a
second time after a few remarks by Sir F. KELLY and
Mr.. SPOONER.

Mr. BRADY moved the second reading of the Medical
Practitioners (No. 2) FITZROY said the Govern-
ment had no objection to the second reading, and the bill
was read a second time.—The house adjourned at half-past
six o'clock.

of having wilfully murdered William Hair, stated that he
was unprovided with counsel, and requested the Court to

LIVERPOOL, ninon 27.—A large supply of beef,
and trade very dull, at id. per lb. decline from last week

SALFORD, MARCH 22.—Cows, 1,572; sheep, 4,400.
Beef, from 5d to eid ; sheep in wool, 7d to 7.1 d ; clipped

for the best articles in beef and mutton. A good many
fat sheep left on hand.

cattle generally well finished, but somewhat short of
sheep. Beef rated from 50s to 64e, and top lots 60s per
cwt. sinking offal; mutton, 62d to nd per lb.; veal, 9d
to 91,d do. per lb, all sinking offal; lambs, 20s to 246 each.

crowded with light half-finished kinds—those fit for the
knife brought 46s to 47s per cwt. Demand good for

TIMBER.

LIVERPOOL.—No arrivals of timber or deals during
the week. A broken cargo of Quebec pine, 45 feet
average, has been sold to the trade at 2s per foot from the
yard. Of St. John the only parcel landing is being yarded,
and is held for 10d per foot over the average girth, or for
18-inch 2s 4d per foot. Three cargoes of Baltic timber,
of good quality, have changed hands at 2s 6d per foot.
Of the cargoes of deals recently arrived two have been
sold from the quay ; one of pine and spruce mixed at
£l3 4s-§il round, and the other, with less pine, at £l3
per stand, being equal to an advance on the previous
sales of 20s to 25s per standard. The low price of deals,
compared with that of timber in the log, will ensure a
demand for this description of wood, and the stop to the
supply from the Baltic, which last year was 1,326,325
loads, against 1,204,629 loads colonial, or equal to 59 per
cent. of the whole supply, is materially enhancing the
value of present stocks.

THE LAW OF SETTLEMENT.

Thu Ministers appear to be by no means suc-
cessful with their scheme to effect an alteration
in the law of settlement, though it really presents
some features more worthy of approval than most
of their legislative projects. In the discussion, on
Friday, they met with many opponents in the
ranks of their own supporters, and, by a scanty
majority, carried the adjournment of the debate
until Monday. The palpable injustice of the pre-
sent inequality of the poor-rate affords an ample
justification for the <endeavour 'to equalise it, and
the proposal to confine the equalisation to Unions,
and accomplish it by gradual steps of ten per cent.
per annum, is a prudent one; but it is mixed with
an abolition of the Tight •of removal, which, how-
ever seemingly just, involves a practical evil of no
ordinary magnitude. To give a pauper a right of
settlement, wherever he may become a pauper, Is
virtually to surrender to him the Tight of inflicting
the charge of his maintenance upon any district
where he may choose to locate himself, and thereby
to impose a kind of punishment upon those Unions
which provide better for their poor than others. It
would open the =door also to frauds—for before a
family became chargeable to one parish or :Union,
they might be induced to effect a settlement in
tome other place, and, for prudential reasons, the
relief afforded niight be reduced to the extreme
limit made compUlsory by law, in order to deter
the voluntary settlers from becoming chargeable.
Such a rivalry would have a bad effect upon 'the
poor themselves:; 'but it is a difficulty which would.
only be effectually obviated by obliterating all dis-
tinctions, and making the rate equal over the
whole kingdom. Such a plan has had many advo-
cates, though the objections to it are entitled to
attentive consideration, and the choice of evils
which the question presents is to continue the pre-
sent objectionable.and expensive mode of removal,
which would be in-some degree diminished by con-
fining it to Unions instead of parishes, or, by its
abolition, as proposed in the Government measure,
create those evils-to which we have alluded.

• aN.;I,INI
Next Summer, as soon as the Screw Steam-
ships now building for the Atlantic are completed, a regular
STEAM COMMUNICATION will be established, by first-
class steamers, between LIVERPOOL and ANTWERP.
Goods will be received by these Steamers at Antwerp for
transhipment at Liverpool by the Steam-ships to the United
States ; and the transhipment at Liverpool, as in the Com-
pany's Trade between Havre and Liverpool, will be free of
expense to the Goods.
It is not intended by the Establishment of this Line to cur-
tail in any way the facilities already possessed by the French,
German, and Belgian Shippers of Merchandise to America
from Havre, via Liverpool, but as an additional, means for
the expedition of their Goods.
