'HOUSE OF LORDS.—MoNDAv

Lord DEN in moving the second reading of the
Protection to Life (Ireland) Bill, stated his objections to
sever%l of its clauses. His lordship was of opinion that a
murder, or an attempt to murder, afforded no pretext for
the proclamation authorized by tie Government bill; and
that the treatment it was supposed to inflict on persons
who might refuse to keep within their own dor,,r7t, after a
certain hour, was much too stringent; that it ought to be
a sine qua noon, that more than one megis'rate should be

preQent, in order to warrant the committal of an offenl:•r,
and that transportati at for 15, or seven years, was too se-
vere a penalty for a conviction under the law. unless for a
rept-titi •n, for a 2nd and 3rd time, of the offence. With
regard to a clause which empowered a change of the rpriue,

INVOLUNTARY TRIP.-A small boat was picked up off
Usan one day last week, having some boys on board.
They had been amusing themselves with the boat at
Stonehaven, and drifted out to sea. After tossing upon

out oars, until they were nearly exhausted, they were for-
tunately observed and rescued.—Montrose Review.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—MGNDAY.
Lord DENMAN, in moving the second reading of the
Protection to Life (Ireland) Bill. stated his objections to
several 6f its clauses. His lordship was of opinion that a
murder, or an attempt to murder, afforded no pretext for
thevraclamation authorized by the Government bill; and
that the-treatment it was supposed to inflict on persons
who might refuse to keep within theii,own doors, after a
certiin hour, was much too stringentl,that it ought to be
a sine qua non. that more than one magistrate should be
present, in order to warrant the committal of an offender,
and that transportation for 15, or se.en years, was too se-
vere a.penolty for a conviction under the law. unless for a
repetition, for a 2nd and 3rd time, of the offence. With
regard to .a clause which empowered a change Of the venue.
he thought it nught to be adopted, and that a distinct
enactment for the prevention of the intimidation of wit-
nesses ought to be framed.

The bill svai read a second time, Lord St. Germains
stating that he would give every attention to the sugges-
tiotwof the Lord Chief Justice.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY.
Sir RcrnEat•r PEEL stated that it was intended to reduce
the duties on rice, Indian corn, and buck wheat to one
nearly nominal from the period of oas,ing the act ; but as
regarded Indian cern and buck wheat, it Has intended to
admit them duty free, for a limited period, from the dty
when the report of the committee should be agreed to,
taking securities for the payment of the duty should the
bill not ultimately be sanctioned by parliament.
The house then resolved into committee on the corn
importation resolutions, and after some conversation it
was a;recd••that in the committee all further opposition to
the measure of the government should be withdrawn, and
that all •the objections on controverted points, such as
brandy and silk, should be reserved until the report
should be brought up.

DENTISTRY.
A MOST IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT.

IMPROVED MINERAL TEETH, FIXED WITHOUT
SPRINGS, WIRES, OR LIGATURES.
MR. FREDERICK WESTALL,
DENTIST.
36, GREAT GEORGE-STREET, LIVERPOOL,
(Nephew and late Assistant to Mr. hair, Dentist, by appoint-
ment; to 11. R. 11. the Duchess of Kent, Bruton-street, Bond-

•
street, London.)
DECAYED TEETH filled with the purest American
Gold Leaf, the superiority of which Preparation for stop-
ping is so universally acknowledged by the Profession. By
using this preparation, which is not attended by the least pain,
the Tooth is rendered perfectly sound, and useful for Mastica-
tion, &c.

The decay, which so frequently occurs between Front Teeth,
effectually removed. _

ARTIFICIAL TEETH.
Mr. W. would recommend his painless and effective method
of fixing Artificial Teeth by self-adhesion, or capillary attrac-
tion, requiring neither the use of springs or other fastenings,
nor the removal of Stumps. This plan has now been adopted
for some years by his uncle, Mr. Hair, and the great advantage
over every other system has been fully proved by the numerous
patients who have already availed themselves of this method.
This system may be applied to either Natural or Mineral Teeth,
and will answer all the purposes of articulation, mastication,
&c. Mr. W.'s newly-invented Mineral Teeth are warranted
never to discolour or decay ; they approach nature so closely
as to defy detection, and are so adapted as to be a support to
any Teeth that remain, preserving them for years.
Mr. W. has had the honour of receiving Testimonials from
some of the most eminent Medical Men in the kingdom, inclu-
ding, amongst others,—
Sir B. C. Brodie, Bart, Sergeant Surgeon to the Queen.
Herbert Mayo Esq., F.R.S., late Senior Surgeon to the Middle-
sex Hospital.
Edward Tuson, Esq., F.R.S., Surgeon to the Middlesex Hospi-
tal.

THE WIRRAL FARMERS' CLUB.

The annual ploughing match of the Wirral Farmers'
Club took place on Thursday, in a field near Hooton
Hall, the seat of Sir Wm. M. Stanley, Bart. The day
was fine, and a large concourse of farmers, spectators,
and gentlemen of the surrounding district, was present.
There were thirty-two competitors, and the ploughing
was pronounced to be unsurpassed in this part of the
kingdom, or even in Scotland. The teams were much
admired, and the whole proceedings showed that the so-
ciety had been the means of rousing the energy and acti-
vity of both farmers and husbandmen. Draining and
manuring are consequently now more in vogue than for-
merly throughout the hundred, and were strongly urged
by the speakers at the dinner. The country, in fact, is
undergoing a surprising and gratifying change, and has
already become much more productive and attractive.
'Sir W. Stanley invited the judges, the committee, and
other gentlemen, to lunch with him at Hooton Hall, after
the matches. The dinner took place in a pavilion erected
for the purpose, near the Eastham Hotel, and tastefully
decorate.d. The dinner and wines were excellent, pro-
vided by Mr. Nichol!, and about 120 gentlemen sat down ;
Sir Wm. M. Stanley in the chair, supported by distin-
guished guests.
After the usual preliminary toasts, and " Success to the
Wirral Farmers' Club," the Rev. Mr. Fielden, in terms
of high eulogium on his character, as a skilful and ener-
getic farmer, an excellent landlord, and a gentleman,
proposed the health of the Chairman, who feelingly re-
plied. Since, he said, be had been in possession of his
estate, he bad drained upwards of 900 acres, at the rate
of 2000 tiles to the acre. (Cheers.) This, he did not
disguise, had been a work of considerable expense, but
he did not regret one shilling that had been so expended.
He hoped all his neighbours would follow his example;
for, although it had been the practice of some to speak
with disfavour of the hundred of Wirral, he was convinced
it only required industry to bring the land into the finest
state of cultivation. (Cheers.) When first he came
there, be was told it would not grow barley, and it would
not grow turnips; indeed he did not know what it would
grow—(applause and laughter); but let them look at last
year, the weather of which was not generally considered
the most favourable, and for himself, be asserted fear-
lessly that he never saw finer crops in any part of the
world. (Great cheering.)
The list of prizes was then read, as follows :

OUR FINANCIAL SYSTEM.

The papers laid on the table of the House of Commons
on Monday night, and ordered to be printed, exhibit some
very interesting results.
The first of these is an account of the number of ves-
sels, the amount of tonnage, and the number of their
crews, on the 31st of December in each year, from 1820
to 1841.

In 1820 the number of vessels was 25,374, the tonnage
2,648,593, the number of men employed 174,514. In 1841
there were 30,052 vessels, of 3,512,480 tons, manned by
210,198 men. In 1844 there were 31,320 vessels, of
3 637,231 tons, and 216,350 seamen.
The number of British vessels entered inwards in 1832
was 10,762, whose united burden was 1,936.846 tons ; the
foreign vessels were 3,865, of 561,047 tons. In 1845 the
number of British vessels was 15,964, and their tonnage
3,662,855 • the number of foreign vessels 7,895, and their
tonnage 1,353,735.

manufactures exported from the United Kingdom to
foreign countries and our colonial possessions was in-
