At the same time it must be co nce d e d t h a t Messrs. Streatfeild pushed the system to its very furthest limit.

Illustrated by John Gilbert. TEE ESKELL'S PATENT.- T On the 17th July, 1860, Mr. ESKELL, Surgeon Debtist, 8, Grosvenor-street, W., obtained her MAJESTT'S ROYAL LETTEBS PATENT for an improved method of fixing ARTIFICIAL TEETH to the GUMS on MOVEABLE BASES, without plates or any fastenings which may be thus described:— "One of the most important and successful features of the opening of this story—which bids fair to become most de servedly popular—is the description given by Mr. Ainsworth of Henry VIII., Queen Catherine Parr, the Princesses Mary and Elizabeth. and the young Prince Edward, afterwards Edward VI. That of Henry VIII. in his declining days ap pears to us to be as faithful as it is able in delineation. We think the public will agree with ourselves, that Mr. Ains worth already shows that he is resolved to put forth all his strength, and to maintain his position as one of the ablest and most original novelists of the day."—Bell's Weekly Messenger. " The Constable of the Tower,' brilliantly illustrated by the pencil of John Gilbert, gives excellent promise of proving in every respect its author's masterpiece."—Sun. London : Richard Bentley, New Burling-on-street. The Teeth are perfectly fitted from first to last in TWO noußs, without pain or extraction of stumps, by means of Moveable Elastic and Indestructible Bates. Placing one within a tuhe to which the Teeth are attached, and applying it to the gums, it adheres with strth tenacity by suction that the Teeth are quite immoveable. except at the will of the wearer. A new Base is readily applied, without the aid of a Dentist, when chants take place from loss of Teeth absorp tion, ac., rendering these Teeth always useral and durable for life. The ezelusive rig,ht to this Patent Is secured to Mr. Eskell by her Majesty's Royal Seal, ainl can only be procured at his residence, where specimens may be seen and every informa tion obtained. Decayed teeth stopped. Loose teeth fastened. Consultations free.-8, Grosvenor-street, London; Old Steyne, Brighton; and Bennett's-hill, Birmingham.

LA'MERT on the Treatment and cure of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, resulting from pernicious habits contraetedin Youth, excesses In Man hood, or residence in Tropical Climates. With Cases and En gravings from Life, representing the various Organs In Health and Disease. The extensive circulation of this work may be attributed in great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly qualified and legally registered Practitioner who for 20 years has made the Diseases arising usually from Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest hopes and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in form, closely analogous in reality. The mischief may arise in nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred years before the sufferers were born, from accident or the in fluence of tropical climates, but chiefly from Self-incurred Afflictions. dating back, in too numerous instances, to a period long preceding that at which reason could be matured by ex perience. A professional prejudice, whicii happily is now fast disap pearing, though it still lingers with no little obstinacy in some of the more antiquated medical schools, for a long time almost ignored the morbid affections comprised under the gen Pral designation " Nervous and 1 'hysical flebility," though these affections are probably more destructive and widely pre valent than any others. The consequence of so important a department of pathology being, neglected is, that sufferers from the infirmities in question, virtually rlielled from consultation with prac titioners of standing and character, are thus liable to fall into the hands of unqualified Empirics, sometimes assuming titles of Physicians and Surgeons, whose names are not to be found in the Medical Register (whereby they incur serious legal penalties), whose ignorant meddling with the treatment of these cases render these disorders a standing reproach to the medical profession. Those who may have a suspicion that any of the observations here made have peculiar applioa lion to themselves, may consider that cases are indeed rare in which practised science cannot fully realise long-deferred hepes, c remove all causes f mutualco ntent. reproach, and replace c broli by pe o rmanent Dr. La'Mert.

Summary of the principal financial !Lad com mercial events of the year now closing : Jan. I.—Consols, 95 ; French Three per Cents., 68f. 90c. Proposal put forth by Messrs. Baring and Glyn on behalf of Government of Canada, to convert the various debts of the province, amounting to £11,661,010, into a consolidated 5 per cent. stock, irredeemable for 25 years. This arrange ment involved the payment of certain old bonds and an issue of £2,800,000 new ones on the London market, the whole of which were rapidly subscribed, the applications having reached about £22,000,000. Jan. 3.—Announcement of peace between Buenos Ayres and the other States of the Argentine Republic. Buenos Ayres Six per Cents. 82, whence they have since steadily advanced to 96k. Prospectus issued of the Bank of Turkey. News of treaty concluded by Mr. M'Lane, the United States' Envoy in Mexico, and the Juares Government in Vera Crux.

Jan. 31.—Bank bullion reduced to £14,542,502, or 11,918,322 less than on the Ist of January, owing chiefly to continuous purchases by the public of the Indian Rupee Debt and other Indian Securities. Bank discount advanced from 3 per cent. to 4 per cent. Console, 94. Feb. I.—Silver discoveries at the Waehoo Mines an nounced from California. Feb. 10.—Budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, showing an estimated charge of £70,000,100, and a surplus of £164,000. The diminution of revenue was estimated at £1,100,000 from the French Treaty, and £1,900,000 from the abolition of Customs and Excise duties, including that on paper. On the other hand, new imposts and savings were to yield £982,000. The balance from alterations, therefore, showed a net loss to revenue of £2,108,000. An increase of the income-tax from 9d. to 10d., and an altera tion in the collection of it, so as to force an additional quarter into the current year, a shortening of the malt and hop credits, and a renewal of £1,000,000 Exchequer-bonds maturing in November, were tho main resources adopted to restore the account and to furnish the surplus promised. Intelligence from India that a Government issue of notes had been resolved upon ; the first emission to be £5,000,000, but future issues to be made without other limit than the necessity of holding a sum equal to one-third of the amount iu bullion.

CRYSTAL PALACE. —Saturday was announced as a juvenile day at the Palace, and greater numbers than usual were present to enjoy the revelries of the shadow pan tomime and the other entertainments o plenteously pro vided. After the pantomime the Palos was brilliantly lighted up for the evening promenade. The whole of the amusem ents will be con tieued thin day, a nd during the week. interest. While the case is still pending before the Com missioner we have no right to hazard any observa tions respecting the mode in which such transao. tions ought to be legally dealt with ; but there are several noticealole points worthy of comment about which no dispute can arise. The most prominent of these is the singular success of Messrs. Street feild and Co. in getting- discount. They were' removed from the ordinary lot of traders who have to seek for " channels" of aceommodation, the moneyed world being proud to save Lb= the trouble by offering unlimited " channels" 012 their own account. It is true that if it had been generally known that Messrs. Strratfe;ld were distributing their favours so widely each individual house would Marshall, probably have been rather shy of taking its shn're. But it can hardly be imputed to the banks or dig count establishments that this ignorance of thcs true state of matters arose from their own negli gence. In some quarters there appears a desire to theof reckless London heap accumulated wrath upon the heads of thoso who are accused of wantonly giving extraordinary " facilities" to undue speculation. Who these people may be would be a puzzle to discover. Mr. alto gether enunciated an obvious truth when he said that " it is not the b but this business of a bank to lose money ;" disregarded. the r e gm prac t icalaarndaegdve. e w o f T t oh h fe e Bank twh ear c,as o of ei nis London , al t o fact, been lectured amounts to this ."-"" i t n o ena w b h le ic a h set gentlemen, in the interest of commercial morality a t s r r y ha v eßeal e a we must protest against your providing large warns dangerously speculative business. The nation il5 injured by the unproductive waste of large amount** of capital, and demoralised by' an injurious example." It seems, absurdly enough, to be taken for granted that a bank or a discount house find pleasure in doing a class of business by yiriNch they are certain losers. The fallacy of the assn.mption is only equalled by its strangeness. The simple truth is, that banks and similar institution@ are liable to be deceived as much as others. Whatf let us ask, is the article which there is such a desix to purchase ? The answer is plain : it is safe first tradecraspittoalics class paper. Now, it is certain front what has transpired in the examination of Messrs. Streat feild, that their bills were universally considered to be of the highest character, and to represent nothing more or less than legitimate transactions, and it is not, therefore, in the least degree to be woniered at that they were eagerly taken. "if we had known that they were accommodation bills," says one witness, "we should not have discounted. them." The competition was only for first-rate securities, and not for paper like that issued by Messrs. Streatfeild, although its real.nature was not understood at the time. point of fact, Sat understood house was acknowledged to be at the hea o f a great branch of trade with numerous and suppod wealthy connections, and in its own sphere was' of commanding power and influence. Suddenly, how ever, the whole system turns out to be supported". only by an enormous issue of questionable paper. We will venture to assert that scarcely any event has for some years caused so much astonishment in the commercial world as the sudden unmasking of the real condition of a ff airs. The truth wns as little dreamt of by the commercial world in general as by the hanks and discount. houses in particuiAr• There is one point, however, where the bailks, discount houses, and other capitalists might protect themselves, in some degree, from losses like the: present. In their department of business perhapso less co-operation exists than in any other. Each establishment appears to hold jealousy aloof from others, and there is consequently great difficulty in bringing about any united action. This state of things is eminently favourable to the bold class of speculators. Most other branches of trade have some representative body, such as, for instance, the railway companies and their as sociation. Wh y y could not some similar associat ion be o.rganise with a view to the protection o f capital. bene fits would be great, and perhaps immediate. Jt lu well known that the Bank of England have lot but very slightly by the crash of the leather trade, partly through the insight into the discount busi ness of the failed firms gained by the practice of the Bank to make every quarter, during the shut ting of the transfer books of Government stocks, advances on approved bills. An association based on a proper principle might afford to discount establishments in general the same knowledge, but to this it is essential that they should wo rk together with some degree of unanimity.
