MOGGRIDGE and DAVIS, Surgeon-Dentists to the Royal Family, 13, Old Burlington-street, Bond-street, Patentees of the self-sustaining principle of fixing Artificial Teeth. The PNEUMATIC PALATE has excited the greatest admiration of the most emi nent physicians and surgeons of England and the principal cities of the Continent, who constantly favour them with their distinguished recommendations, and who consider their system to be greatly superior to any in use, as by it the greatest possible firmness and security in the month is attained, and the patient enabled to properly perform the important operation of mastica tion. which is most essential to health. It also renders the al ticulation clear and distinct, and the unpleasant whistling so lone complained of impossible.—This to public speakers is in valuable.

ANDERSON'S BENEFIT.—IMMENSE SUCCESS or ROB ROY AND BI ACK-FTED SUSAN.—NOVELTIES IY PREPARATION. In assuming the management at Christmas last of the largest Theatre in London, PROFESSOR ANDERSON pledged himself to the public to produce the most gorgeous and if possible the best Pantomime of the Season. little fitly to carry out that pledge he determined to spare no cost, nor fail to avail himself of whatever talent he could discover and command. His en gagements were made for a period of six weeks, over which term he did nut expect the Pantomime to run. Encountering many difficulties in producing a Pantomime at a house where none had been for years—whero nearly all the machinery had to be constructed, and every " property " to be made—the "BELLE AI.LILNCE, or the FIELD Of the CLOTH OF GOLD," was placed on the stage at an outlay of nearly 47,000, and was at once recognised by the Press and by the Public as being worthy of the house at which it was presented, and the unprecedented expenditure incurred in its production. Its popularity has increased at every representation. At the present moment, after a run of forty nights, between two thousand and three thousand persons pay nightly at the doors to witness its grotesque incl. dents, its gorgeous appointments, and its main Scent scene y, 'I he Operatic Drama of ROB ROY, and the ever-pop:lsi Melo-Drama of BLACK-EYED SUSAN, produced as they have been at a cost as lavish as that bestowed on the Pantomime, have achieved an equal amount of success. Within the walls of Covent Garden larger audiences are assembled every evenir g than in any other theatre of Europe; while the fashionable character of the attendance, an d t h e applause bestowed on the performances, ratify the fulfilment of the promises made by the lessee at the commencement of the season, and warrant his indulging in self-congratulation at hav ing accomplished a triumph in the way of successful manage ment. Under these circumstances lie has bad tv hesitation in arranging with the Directors of the Theatre for its occupancy until it is required for the purposes of the Royal Italian Opera, at the commencement of the next London Season. The exten sion of his lease has been most courteously accorded to him, and increased facilities granted for producing various novelt es. The Pantomime, on account of its great success, will be repeated nightly; Rob Roy and Black-Eyed Susan will be performed on alternate nights until further notice ; the same attention which has been paid to their production as regards scenery, costumes, and other accessories to effect, will be paid to everything else produced under the present management. The unqualified ap probation of the auditors, the cumulative success of each new production, the thronged state of the house at every represents tion, aod the satisfactory results of the last six weeks, induce Professor Anderson to persevere in a path which has led him to a position whence he can regard the past with pleasure, the future with confidence, and the present with proud, unmingled, unalloyed gratification. That the sequel to his Christmas Season will be characterised by the same amount of good fortune which has hitherto attended his career at Covent Garden he is per fectly assured ; the same causes which have already elicited success will, without doubt, continue to produce it, amplifying at the same time its amount and its certitude. The juridic are respectfully apprised, that however popular any piece produced under the present management may be. the number of its repre sentations will be limited; thus, for insteoce, Rob Roy and Black-Eyed Susan will be played on alternate nights during the present week, but no promise can be made of their repetition beyond that term, unless it can be found to comport with other arrangements now in progress. Hence it is expedient that seats should be booked early by those who are desirous of seeing the Grandest Scottish Spectacle ever placed ou the stage, or the revival of Douglas Jerrold's celebrated Melodrama with more attention to the mise•en•seene than has been bestowed upon it at any time, or in any theatre. The Dramas which will succeed these will shortly be announced ; and the renewed season of the present management will terminate with the production of ENGLISH OPERA on a grand scale, introducing the whole of the available English musical talent to be found in Great Britain. On Monday, February 11th, will be presented BLACK-EYED SUSAN. William by Professor Anderson, and Susan by Miss Harriet Gordon. On Tuesday, February 12th, ROB ROY. Rob Roy Macgregor, Professor Anderson, Helen Macgregor, Mrs J. W. Wallack. Rob Roy will be repeated on Thursday and Saturday ; and Black Eyed Susan on Wednesday and Friday.
