THE VEGETABLE TOOTH POWDER has SD long been in general use, that it is unnecessary to offer any further recommendation of it. Composed of Vegetables, with out the admixture of any Mineral or pernicious ingredient what ever, it is free front the usual objection against the use of other Dentifrices. Its detersive power is just sufficient to annihilate those destructive particles which adhere to the Gums and the Interstices of the Teeth; healing injuries in the former, and pro moting a new Enamel (where it has been injured or corroded), on the latter. It likewise imparts a firmness and healthy redness to the Gums ; and, if used regularly, will preserve the 'Teeth in a sound state to old age.

BY HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT. THE NIGHT or DAY LAMP, producing Permanent Light by Touching • String. This Invention combines utility, economy, durability, and safe ty: it is equally adapted to the drawing-room, the library, the chamber of the invalid, and the office of the man of business, and is expected to supersede everything of the kind now in use. When required for the night, the Lamp may be placed in any part of the room, and the string attached to the bed, by merely pulling which light is produced. In the day it may be used for sealing letters, &c. without the string. To the Army and NO'S, the Law and the Faculty. the Student at the University and in Chambers, to Merchants and Bankers, to Public (M6ces and Private Families, for every Bedroom, to (fay tains of Ships . and Travellers in General, and for the Insides of Carriages, it is particularly recommended ; and to the Lovers of Novelty and the Curious in Science, it may form an acceptable present. - - - - - If allowed to bum, the Lamp will yield a steady light for 18 or 20 hours without trimming. It is so portable, that it may be carried in the pocket; so simple, that a child may use it ; and so cleanly, that it may be packed with the finest linen immediately after use. _ By shutting the box, the works are so nicely fitted, that nothing can escape in whatever position it may be placed. As a pyort of this, it has been sent, when fully trimmed, and charged with oil, acid, sad matches, from London to Edinburgh, by the mail-coach. as a loose parcel, and arrived in perfect security.

The aggression of ambuscade terminates in defeat; and conscious rectitude ulti mately triumphs in the attainment of the grand object—public approbation. The test of experience is the guarantee of favour, and has established WARREN'S BLACKING in general esti mation ; of which there exists not a stronger proof, than the tacit acknowledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a spurious preparation as the genuine ar ticle, to t h e great disappointment of the unguarded purchaser, and manifest injury of Warren, whose character and interest, by this iniquitous system, are equally subject to detriment. It becomes, therefore, an indispensable duty, to caution the public against the manoeuvres of unprincipled venders, who having no character to lose, and stimulated by avarice in their nefarious pursuits, aim to the acquisition of money through any medium but that of honour. The original and matchless Blacking bears no each bottle a short direction, with the signature " ROBERT WARREN:" all others are counterfeits; and in many instances the imposition labels are artfully interlined with a different address. in very small cha racters, between the more conspicuous ones of " No. 30," and " STRAND." It is earnestly recommended to shopkeepers and others, who are deceived by base fabrication, of ll'arren's Black. ing, to return the detected trash to the source from whence it came and expose the machinations of rascality to merited obloquy. Warren's Blacking is surpassingly brilliant; it excludes damp, gives pliancy to the leather, retains its pristine virtue in all cli mates, and, combining elegance with comfort, is an article equally of indispensable fashion end utility. Sold by every respectable Vender in town and country, in bot tles, at lid., lOd., 12d., and 18d. each. Fran the Report laid before Parliament, we make the &Bowie( abridgement of Mr. Smith's defence. The charges against the Niissionary, as our readers know, were for exciting the late revolt of the Negroes at Demerara, and for harbouring and encouraging the rebels. We pass over the evidence to support the charges, the material parts of which being sat out in the defence:— MR. SMITH'S DEFENCE. FOURTZENTII DAT, SATURDAY, IST Novzmatrt. The Court met pursuant to adjournment, and the prisoner read bis statement in defence as follows: May it please the Couri :ii;. President and Gentlernen,—Be fore I enter upon the immediate defence of my conduct from the charges which have been preferred against me, I beg leave to call the attention of the Court to a few preliminary observations. The Court is well aware that by profession I am a minister of the Gospel, ordained and sanctioned by the Missionary Society; a most respectable body of men, well known to and sanctioned by the Government at home, whose sole object is of a religious nature, the conversion of the heathen and other unenlightened nations to the Christian faith. With the civil or political state of those coun tries where its missionaries labour, it has nothing to do. Under the patronage of this Society I chose to engage in the diffiouk and self-denying work of instructing the benighted natives in the prin ciples of our holy religion. With this avowed intention I arrived here in February, 1817 ; and having obtained permission of his Excellency the Governor to preach to and catechise the slaves, I commenced my labour: with a full determination to keep to the letter of my instructions from the Society, in having nothing to do with the temporal condition of those who might be placed undue my ministerial care. To this determination I uniformly adhered. So much was I impressed with the necessity of acting up to this resolution, that soon after my arrival I requested permission to remove the chapel to the side of the public road, that I might be farther from the negroes, and know less of what was transacted on the estate. The object of my mission, like that of my predecessor, was very differently regarded by the planters ; some of them, from the time of my arrival and long before, were strongly prejudiced against the instruction of the negroes, and have uniformly opposed it ; but with others this if as not the case. They allowed their people to attend the chapel, and observed, and from time to time commended, their general behaviour, and have repeatedly given proof of their approbation of the mission, not only by words, but also by deeds, by contributing to the Missionary Society. The manner in which I have puesued the object of my mission deserves sonic notice. Having learned what kind of services had been performed by Mr. Wray, my predecessor, I endeavoured to ' adopt and follow his plan. There were five services in the week in the chapel; three 00 the Sunday, one on Tuesday, and another on Friday : the negroes be longing to the estate were catechised on other evenings, in the school-room attached to the house. After about twelve months I discontinued the Sunday evenings service ; all the others were regularly continued till the end of last year, when I gave up one of the week-day evening services. Since then we have had three public services in the week, and a cateehe tical meeting, or school, on one evening in the week. A great part of the interval between the morning and the noon services on the sabbath was occupied jo catechising the negroes in the chapel. This department was superintended chiefly by Mrs. Smith. White persons were often present. I was generally engaged at the same time in the school-room, catechising candidates for baptism. All these services were of a public nature • we had no private meetings ; the plantation bell was rung to ;all the people ; the doors were always open, and the place accessible to aIL The con stitution of the church was formed by Mr. Wray, and was what it usually called congregational. There were four deacons ; their du ties were to assist in the admihistration of the Lord's Supper, by handing the bread and wine to the members, to keep order in the congregation, to make inquiry into the moral conduct of such as applied for baptism, or admission into the church, and to collect the money spoken of in the evidence for the prosecution. They were not teachers by virtue of their office, nor did they, as such, even teach any one to my knowledge. Seaton was indeed the teacher at Success, but he was that long previous to his acting as deacon. In point of authority, they were in no respect superior to any other member. As to the teachers, they were whoUy unconnected with the church. The people themselves chose them on their respective estates, with out my interference. Their chief qualifications was a knowledge of the catechism. I would now submit to the courts few observations respecting the journal, from which some extracts were read by the Judge Advs. cate. The Missionary Society wished me to keep a journal. On my arrival I commenced one, but soon found that there was too little va riety in my labours, to render it a matter of consideration to the Society i yet 1 continued it merely for my own private use, as must be pretty evident, from the careless and irregular manner in which it has been kept, and from the nature of several of the notes and reflections therein contained ; one or two extracts only have been given to the Society, which merely referred to the mord or spiritual state of the congregation. No other part of the journal was ever read by or to any one be sides myself, till it was taken from me. The contents of it were unknown, even to Mrs. Smith, and the greater part I myself had forgotten. The notes in my journal relate chiefly to my ministerial labours among the congregation over which I was placed. Facts, and what were reported to me as such, are briefly stated, and such reflections sometimes subjoined as naturally arose nut of them. Some parts refer to conv ersations with negroes, and are brought forward by I the Judge Advocate to prove that I have intafedd with their treatment. As to conversations with negroes, the Christians in particular, from the very nature of my office, it was both natural and necessary that I should constr.e with them to a certain extent. No mis sionary, or other minister of the gospel, can properly di his sacred functions without having stone other intercourse sch :ri l g his people besides that of public teaching. He has to watch tor the souls of every individual of his charge, see Leek. c. 13. v. 7 and IL He is commanded to be instant in season and out of season.' If any of his flock go astray it is his duty to seek after them ; he broil know the cause of their declensions in religion ere he can rebuke and exhort them ; and as I could not have access to them an the plantations, though enjoined by the instructions of the Society, which his Excellency has seen and read, to visit them in their houses, It was necessary that I should either make inquiry of others concerning such, or send for them to come themsefres with another member. The latter mode I always preferred, when prac ticable. In all such conversations, I have abstained from making any remarks respecting their masters; and have uniformly ex horted them to a dutiful submission, as some of the witnesses for the prosecution have proved, and multitudes of the osessrezation can testify. This brings me to the charges which are exhibited against me; they are four. The first is--That long previous to, and up to, the time of a certain revolt and rebellion which broke out in this colony on or about the 18th of August last past, I did promote, es far no In MoirMite lay, discontent arid dissatisfaction in the Mods of tb= slaves towards their lawful masters, inanagers, and ow thereby intending to excite the said. negroes to break out In m ein. open revolt and rebellion stalest the authority of their lawful: masters, managers, and overseer% cetatrary to my allegiance, sod against the peace alone Sovereign Z.nrd the King, his crown red dignity. The second is—" That I having, about the 17th day ed August last, and on divers other days and times theretofore pre eetenl, advised, consulted, sad correeten d e d w i t h a eeres i n n caned egl ins, touching end contorting a certain intended t and rebellion of co the negro slaves within these colonies of Demerara and Essequibo; and further, after such revolt and rebelliorrfilif actually commenced, and was in a course of prosecation. he, the said John Smith, did farther aid and assist in such rebellion, by advising, consulting, and corresponding, toothing the same, with the said negro Quentin', to wit, on the 19th end 20th August last put, I then well knowing such revolt and rebellion to be in pro gress, and the said negro Quemica to be an insurgent engaged therein." The third is, " That on the 17th of August last past, and for a certain period of time thereto preceding, I having tome to ties knowledge of a certain revolt and rebellion Intended to take place within this colony, did not make known the same to the proper authorities ; which revolt and vebellion did subsequently take plat,:, to wit, on or about the 10th of August now last past." Fourthly, " That I, after su c h revo lt an d rebellion had taken place, and during the existence thereof, to wit. on or about Tess day and Wednesday, the 19th and 20th August last past, was at plantation i.e Resouvenir, in presence of and held cornmunicaties. with Quamina, a negro of plantation Success, I then well know. ing the said Quamioa to be an insurgent engaged therein, and that 1 did not use my utmost endeavours to 'oppress the same, by securing or detaining the said insurgent Quaff:masa a prisons% or by giving information to the proper authorities, or otherwieupbut on the contrary, permitted the said ineurgea (lumina to g• at large and depart without attempting to seise and detain him, 'nod without giving any information respecting hint to the pen er autho rities, against the poses of our Sovereign Lord tags • Ohs mum eieLdippthy ominge,embe a uthel in defiance of the Proclamation of martial law, issued b hilt Itteol , lent,. the Lieutenant-Governor." The prosecutor, in his address to the Court, eitherit'd upon then , charges, and endeavoured to impress upon the r' a belief dia. ce i my conduct had been more guilty , my ohen us and mot.: heinous. than eve, these cherges represent t'teni to lam aware, at least I truss so, that the prose cu t or i s bound to eresuLtly to the charges, of which a copy has been regularly served epee ut:-, and with this trust I should have rested minified, had not the pro secutor endeavoured to prove his own version of the charges, there by attempting to draw down upon my character infamy and oppra• bum ; as It is, he has completely failed to make. good his asser tions i and I shall therefore but b r i e fly not i ce them n the course u: my dufeace. I shall now take the-charges in the order they stsad. To make good the first, the prosecutor I:as e:Aleavoured to prsve, let. That I have an aversion to slavery. 2d. That I have endeavoured to mislead the ncgroes, by misin terpreting and perverting the Scriptures. 3d. That I have taken money and presents front the negroes. Ith. That I have sold them books. 6th. That I have interferes. with their treatment. 6th. That I have taught them to disobey their masters. 7th. That I have taught them that it was sinful to worker, go to market on the Sabbath day. And first—That I have an aversion to slavery; That I have an eversion to slarery I cannot deny ; for if it he s crime to cherish such an aversion, then I have as my associates tit guilt the most liberal and best part of mankind. After the recent recognition by the House of Commons and the British Govern ment, of the proposition that "skyey is repo.t,ment to Chris tianity," it cannot be neetshaly for me. a Minister of the Duper. to enter into any justification at my sentiments on this 'intim-4 Secondly.—That I have endeavoured to mislead the Degrees, by misinterpreting and perverting the Scriptures. To prove this, my journ a l, t h at journal which hes been d ragge d forth from the privacy in which it was buried, has bun produced, and several passages read from it. 'Witnesses have been called. and what have they all proved ? the very opposite thing to that de sired by my prosecutors. It has been objected to me that I ex pounded those parts cif the sacred Scriptures which allude to the condition of slaves. his ti pm ere p l ie t mwuitseh be kno rtalan wiedge llered and ' u t n h d at ers it ta is nd e in in g. lni ft 'er w ' es a 6 t n h t e Y b to oas f t etd ot .

' • sl" . With this view of the subj e ct, I commenced, about the 5_ 1820, a regular course of historical reading and expositions, its. ..". the Old Testament for the morning service, and the New Tes for the evening. I began in the Old Testament with Genes . in the New Testament w ith t h e Gospel of St. Matthew. '. Old Testament I read in order, with the omission of swot chapters as appeared t o me liable to be miabitetreted by th e negroes. The passage which has been read from the yoornal, under date " Bth Aug. 11117," says, that I omitted to mud or expound to the negroes a passage of scriptoie (latter part Genesis x .ii. ' . which I apprehended they might nuaconatrue. It contains a ro mise of the lead of Canaan to Abraham's posterity. The jouriod adds the mason why I omitted the passage; viz. that I was reset's: i it might make a wrong impression oo their minds, as I tell then. some of the promiees, &c. which were made to Ab raham, &c. aid apply to the Christian state. This moves that I wee very cautious nat to apply to the negroes those parts of Scripture which mire 'to temporal possessions, and were peculiar to the patriarchs, That wine of the promises and precepts made to them apply to the Christian state, is evident from the New Testament I compare Romans c. iv. v. V, to the end. The Apostle, speaking of A bra ham's faith being imputed to him for righteousness, says, " now it was not written far his sake alone, that it was imputed to him, but for us also," &c. Great stress has been laid on my reading of the deliverance eft' ti Israelites from Egypt. Had that part of holy writ been toilette.: the history of the Church of God could not have bee. toulerstoos: The mercy, the power, and the Providence of God. are 'Ovally di.. played in that part of sacred history, and cannot fail to Imre-, with a sense of religious fear and oust even the stupid mind oe-s. negro. Foe this reason, I suppose, the Apostle Paul in Ist ('or c. x. v.l to 11, presses upon our particular attention this very pot. Roo of the scriptures: " Now all these things hoppened unto them for examples; and they are written for one achnooition, upon whom the ends of the world are cause." In reading the portions to Scripture, partially related by the witnesses, care was always taken to guard against perversion or misapplication; such reflections only being made at the end of the chapter ea were of a motel sad teisgious nature. The deacons praying extempore at the morning service. Is rt. peatedly brought forward in the evidence for the ponecotior., whereby it appears that an attempt was made to show that I . taught. them, in an insidious and artful manner, to reflect upon them mas tees, and thereby to infuse into the negroes a spirit of dished:fa,. tion. Extempore prayer is practised. I believe, in every Chrimia., church, except those of England and of Rome ; and amongst mos , if not all, dames of Protestant dissenters, the deacons and members pray at meetings of that nature. With us it was not the themes only that prayed, but any of the male members whom I judged capable orso doing they prayed aloud, end were taught by me t o pray with their eyes abut ; this was for the purpose of abetractim . But surely it proves that I could not have taught per allor:ed the-.• to introduce any thing offensive in their prayeal for whilst thee were praying, pith their eyes shut, any black, coloured, or white person meth have entered the chapel, as the doors were alw.ty. . open during such peeyer meetings. He was asked If - these pnlyers were taught him. Ile amtweree, " No, m e m o ries of himself, out of his own heat." The of the negroos appear to have been tenacious of' that pert of saaed history concerning the deliverance of the chil dren of Israel. 'This cannot be imputed to me ma crime, for there is not a chapter upon this subject that I have read to then: twice. I went twuMy through, except in omitting from caution such chapters as I thought might be misunderstood. Emartiel was asked, " Was it told you why God so commanded Aloe^ ?" Be answered, " That was because God did not wish that they should be made sis." I . certainly did not tell the r.egroes this. I mad the lemons from the small pulpit, as Azor proves, and my semisoft were delivered from the upper pulpit ; it was not likely thet in a mixed congregation, assembled with open doors, I should ex - period doctrine, in a manner objectionable to the community at Lore. 1 boldly put the question to this very 'Ropes Azor, .. Whin the prisoner talked or explained to you about Rai children of Ism'. did he tell you that the state or situation of the aegroes was like t u that of the children of Israel ?" Hi* answer wish " No." lied I been conscious that this question could have been answered its sty other way, would I have dared to put it ? Thirdly.—lt is alleged that I took money and presents of the negroes : This, I suppose, is to show that by so doing I imposer:- ished them, and hence made them dissatisfied with their condition. The evidence for the prosecution clearly proves, that whatever money *as contributed was entirely voluntary on the part oldie contributors. Once a month, after the sacrament, a collection was made amount ing, api Bristol states, to from f. 30 to f. 35 : 'I believe the average antOunt was about f. 311. With this money bread and wine fur the communion, and mulles for the use of the chapel. wire purchase. I *mime no arse will "oppose that I less notch the richer : for tbot Bristol further asp, " Some that could ak'ot.t it give aye lith, same one bitt, end some nothing ; but whether the; gave or gave not, still they were welcome to partake." I never snip a syllable tie them about collecting ft ; they had, I believe, been in the habit u: doing so hom the time of Mr. Post. It is further said, that I took money of the negroes for the Mis sionary Society. I did en. It was by the Society's requiem, aed with the knowledge of their muter, sorocof whom approved et it. On commencing this contribution, I explained from the pulpit the nature and object of the Society, sad the necessity of their being supplied with money to enable them to carry on their designs. Ithd Stetted those who chose to become control:tours: many gave me their names, some of whom paid their subscriptions reprulariy, while others scarcely ever paid at all.
