No WIRES or LIGATURES are used, and they MATCH the °rum vAL TEETH in point of Shape and Colour. GUARANTEED for MASTICATION and ARTICULATION.

Crowds of Irishmen are daily arriving at th e 13roomielaw from the Emerald Isle. The large class of steamers from Belfast and Dublin are bringing over, and have done so for some time, from 540 to 600 P trip, o f the most miserably clad portion of the finest peasantry in the world. There is now one boat from Belfast every day, and we believe fiv e f rom L on d on d erry per wee k , and these ' bringing such myriads of labourers as 500 and 600: each trip, will g've cur readers an idea of the immense influx of the population of the Sister Isle.—Scotch Pape,. Oa Wednesday, the 23d instant, the Rev, E. R . Benyon, of Downhatn Rectory, Essex, laid the first stone of an intended new church on the Beauvoir Town Estat e at Hackney. The ceremou was duly performed by the Reverend Gentleman, and in a stone prepared for the oc casion were deposited a se!ection of the coins of the last reign, a medal of the late King, and of the present Qu ee „ , together with a copper-plate engraved as follows :—" This Church was erected and endowed at the sole cost of Richard Benyon De Beauvoir, of Englefield House, in the county o f Berko, Esq. ; and the first stone was laid this 23d day o f August, 1837." According to the Semaphore de Marseille the French atxd Neapolitan Consuls at Tunis have recently shown a culpable degree of weakness. A Sicilian woman, it appears, had embraced Islamism, but subsequently, stung by remorse, had expressed a wish to be re-admitted into the Catholic Church. The French Consul encouraged her pious wish, and it was at his house that the poor woman di vested herself of her Moorish and reassumed her European attire after which she was delivered over to the Neapo litan Consul, to be sent back to her brothers. Tha Bev, irritated at this act of apostacy, insisted that the woman should be given up to him. She concealed herself for some time in the Frank quarter, but eventually tbo two Consuls abandoned her to the vengeance of the Bey, and as she has not since been beard of there is every reason to believe she has been put to death. It will be recollected of Major Molineaux Williams, the individual, as he is now designated in Flintshire— that one of his impeachtne.its of Mr. Mostyn was that he had coerced tenants at Machynlleth to vote for Colonel Edwards. Mr. Mostyn does not possess one yard of land or the slightest possible influence there. So much for Major Molineaux Williams' veracity. He called into court on that occasion an unwilling witness of the name of Barber, who evidently felt that the Major had made a bad shot. The Major cannot plead that he was misin formed because he was as deep in the mud as Barber was in the mire. The matchless pair were in Machynlleth together, acting in concert for the Tory. Now, undue influence was exercised, but by whom ? This very Bar ber under the Major's advice. It appears he is a nailer and malts•er ; and his brother who is a sort of agent for him, called upon the publicans, holding out the advantage that if they would vote for Corbett their houses should be opened at Mr. Wynne's election ; and when snubbed, as the dirty creature often was, he sneakingly pulled out his brother's account, and rather perseveringly pressed for " that small trifle !" What was Major Molineaux Williams doing there at all ? Why did he interfere ? It was passing impudence even in him thus to act—but thus to fib was rank offence. By the bye, he and his veracious witness, left for Flintshire together, and that their jour ney m;ght not seem altogether bootless, they doubtless concocted the calumny on the way.—Carnarvon Herald. A LION HUNT. —Suddenly, at the distance of fifty or a hundred yards, on a slope among rocks, where he had been lying in wait for a fat buck, would rise the lord of this splendid wilderness ; with shaggy mane erect ; lashing his sides and the ground with his tail ; and his eyes glaring with rage and wonder at the invaders of his kingdom. For t h e lion, unlike other hunted animals, always shows him self ; stands up and looks around, whether he be among stones or long grass ; and seems to dare his enemies to the combat. Enjoining silence, the huntsmen would dismount, and the Hottentots run up and take the horses, snorting and terrified, to the rear. Three or four then with cocked pieces, and led by Bovey the oldest sportsman, would walk towards the lion. He would usually receive them with a deep growl ; and hardly believing he was to be attacked in this open manner, would make a short rush, and squat within twenty-five yards. Then was the moment to fire. The sportsmen, in line, poured in a volley, and generally with fatal effect —Alexander's Colonies V Western Africa. ~ i f . ! ~...4„. ... .. • • . T ai q.:... -,.

PARTICULARS OF THE ESCAPE OF THE SURVIVORS FROM THE SAVAGES.—The following detail of the particu lars of the escape of Mrs. Frazer, and John Baxter, the second officer of the Stirling Castle, was given yesterday at the Mansion-house : Joseph Cavallas, the black steward, who, on account of his colour, was to a certain degree privileged by the natives of Wide Bay, having escaped in a canoe, and reached the English settlement at Moreton Bay, when he informed the commandant of the horrors which the surviving portion of the crew were suffering, was sent, accompanied by a well armed detachment, under the command of Lieut. Otter, to deal with the savages for their rescue. John Graham, an Irish man, who had been long in the settlement as a prisoner of the Crown, was sent as the negociator. This person had escaped from confinement, to the increased severities of which he pre ferred the chances of savage life, and lived in the bush for eight years, and he was well acquainted with the language and habits of most of the tribes. The detachment having approached within a certain distance of the place in which the natives of the tribe to which Mrs. Frazer belonged were gathered together encamped, and sent Graham onward pro vided with lots of copper and gewgaws and naked, to com mence operations for the rescue. The moment they be held Graham, whom they immediately knew, they set up their wild screams of recognition and delight, and crowded round him, and some of the women ran to Mrs. Fr azer , w h o was maggot-picki ng f or th e mea l o f the tribe, and nur s i ng one of the childr en , an d commun i cate d to her by signs that a white man was come amongst them. When she saw Graham she asked him what ship he was wrecked in, to which he replied that his business was to release her, and she must do as he desired her. While she was speaking one of her tribe speared her on the left ankle, and as that was a hint to be silent, and cease communication with the white man, she acted upon it in the midst of her agony. Graham finding greater difficulties in dealing for her rescue than he expected, obtained the assistance of a native chief of another tribe, named Monday, who had had occasional intercourse with the Europeans, and who formed a plan to steal her away. While Graham was dividing the tributes amongst his old acquaintances, Monday contrived to carry her away on his back, for she was wholly unable to walk, in consequence of the cruel manner in which she had been sometimes beaten with clubs, and sometimes goaded with spears. Having contrived to pass through the bush in safety, be placed his burthen in his canoe, and went back and informed the tribe that the chiefs of the red tribe had run off with her in their possession. They yelled with displeasure, but Monday let them know that if Graham would go with him he should be able to steal her back again ; and Graham, having left the trinkets with them to change the direction of their hideous fancies, hurried off with him, and, to her great joy, arrived at the lake, where she was waiting for them, full of fears that she was to have some addition to her miseries. At the other side of the lake r ee ei Lieut. ve d her, O and, tt having er and t provideddetachment covering for th her, Regimentcon veyed he r t o t h e i r camp, which lay at a distance of about seventy miles fr om th e spot f rom w hi c h she had been rescued by the ingenuity rest of Graham, w their lto diabolical olipreviouslyeal slavery. succeeded in liberati ng The the only white man, with the exception, of course, of her com panions in misery, who had seen her in the state to which the savages had reduced her was Graham, Lieutenant Otter having given such directions as secured her from painful observation. Her head was at the time stuck round with feathers, and as big as a large bandbox, and her skin, or, indeed, rather her flesh, was quite dark, not only on account of constant exposare to the sun, but from being rubbed with berries and gums. The cleverness of Graham in planning and accomplishing her escape was very remark able, for the savages were always oa the watch ; but he effectually blinded them by his bits of copper and tin, and his power of exciting them by the Corrobaree dance, which might be very properly called the dance of devils. The LORD MAYOR—I suppose that, in our distant set tlement, although they are as it were in the neighbourhood of the natives, your case was one of frightful novelty to the Government? Mrs. Frazer—They were all greatly shocked at our accounts of what occurred, but they had some knowledge of what happened to the passengers and crew of the Charles Eaton in Torres Straits. The only survivors in that case, however, were a boy and a child, and but little could be learned of what took place. Our sufferings were great, and the whole scene was frightful be yond relief. After the murder of my husband the woman whose child I had, and whom I thought it the safest way to follow and depend upon, used to order me to work at the roots of trees for a sort of sweetish wood or bark, which they call " bungwa." They use this as bread. The Loan MAYOR —You found it to your advantage to follow that woman ? Mrs. Frazer—Yes ; she treated me better than I was treated by the rest. But they all de lighted in cruelty, and I have several marks on m) person of burns from the torches and cuts from the spears, and bruises from the clubs. They hated to see anything like an act of kindness to me. If one of them threw a piece of fish gut or snake to me to eat, the rest would be sure to take it from rise. London : Longman and Co. ; T.

Mrs. Frazer—No doubt of it. Cavallas, our steward, was black, and he was not annoyed. The LORD MAYOR—And did not they, as you became more familiar, relax in their severity ? Mrs. Frazer—l found it necessary to save myself from a death, accom panied probably with agony. to use all my efforts to do the dreadful work they ordered me to do. I found great difficulty in climbing up the trees at first ; and my flesh was shockingly lacerated, but I became accustomed to it, and no doubt I pleased the woman. While her child used to sit on my shoulders with its legs round my neck, I used to perform offices for her personal comfort, for one of her sides was in a state of apparent mortification. The LORD MAYOR-You have most wonderfully re covered after such horrors. Mrs. Frazer—The black wo man I followed brought me with her to lay in wait for snakes, which frequently formed our meals. Mrs.—. has the skin of a large snake which I helped to kill, and by which I thought I should have been killed, for it coiled round me like a boa-constrictor, but the black woman smashed its head with a waddie. The Loan Maros observed that on an occasion in which, under such extraordinary-circumstances, he had in terfered as chief magistrate to engage the sympathies of the public, it gratified him to find that every day more strongly confirmed the truth of the statement that had been made to him in the first instance. Mrs. Frazer—The stories which we have reed in our childhood, and the representations we have seen in theatres of savage life arc mere trifles compared with tho real facts. When first I heard their frightful yells I expected nothing but destruction ; but I never expected to witness anything. like what I h ave sean . Th ere i s no difference between these savages and the beast of the forest, except that the savages are ingenious in their cruelty. All that the mind of man can conceive falls short of what I have witnessed. The LORD MAvott —I suppose the natives did not know by your dress that you were a female ? Mrs. Frazer— They had not the least notion of it. The LORD MAYOR—There was no compassion for you, then, when y ou were affl i cted at your husband's death ? Mrs. Frazer --N ot the slightest. Compassion is a thing wholly unkno wn to t h em. I don ' t think it was their in tention to kill my husband. I believe the man who cast the spear intended merely to wound him, but it went in at his shoulder and pierced through his breast. I saw no blood, and I pulled the spear out of his body. He turned his face to me, and said, " Eliza, I am gone for ever!" and from his mouth an immense quantity of blood spouted out, and he at once died. Mrs. Frazer and Baxter it appears were the only per sons who left London in the Stirling Castle now alive. The other five individuals who were saved from the wreck and the savages are Sydney men, and obtained ships there soon after their rescue. Baxter, it will be recollected, was taken off by a different tribe, and he to underwent great misery. His age is about 23, and Mrs. Frazer is about 35 or 36. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A half starved lad, in the dress of a chimney-sweeper, was brought before Mr. Chambers, charged with having been found sleeping about in the streets. Mr. CHAMBERS —Well, my poor lad, what can I do for you ?-- Boy—Nobody can't do nuffin. I aint got no friends, nor nobody wot cares a cus for me. Mr. CHAMBERS—Why don't you try to get work ? Boy—Cause it is'nt of no use. I couldn't yarn a fardet, if I verked till I busted, because I'm grown out on it. Mr. CllasteEas—What do you mean? too big for chimbley climbing, and I aint big enough for jurneywork, so when I offers my sarvices to a master sweep. he tells me I'm not worth a bunch of cat's meat in the line. 11.1 r. CH AMBERS—I suspect there is something more against you than your size. You've lost your character, and that's the reason why the trade won't employ you. Come now, havn't you been detected in plundering the con stealing ashes out o f du s th n l es ? tractor, by Ye never considers a gemman has been guilty of \ *'llll- ‘,s)„ - • N4c. PRICE sd.

I von', go for to say as I havn't done a summut in the dusting line, vich ve ony calls " slanging," but it vos a werry little. Mr. CHAMBERS—I thought so. You can't get work because you've acted dishonestly. Ido not know what to do for you, but certainly I cannot leave you to perish in the streets. Boy--Chimbly vork is werry different now to vot it vos at von time. Afore I ros bound there vorn't a better bu siness in the whole vorld. A 'prentice in five year could save enough to buy his kit, sitch as a scraper, brush, and soot-bag, and so he could begin business for hisself, or may be if he was werry lucky he'd save tin enough to buy a donkey and cart to go into the garden stuff perfession, and make his fortine at vonce ; but now if re sveeps from top to bottom of a house nobody don't give no browns, and worry seldom even a drink of svipes. Mr. CHAMBERS asked the boy if he would like to go into the Refuge for the Destitute at Holton, and on re ceiving a reply in the affirmative, immediately wrote a letter to the Governor of the establishment, and despatched a po liceman, accompanied by the boy, with the recommendation.

Captain Knocker was just in the act of handing his pass to the people in the boat when a musket shot was fired from Stade, whereupon the people in the boat refused to receive the pass unless the Captain would pay one mark for the shot that had been fired. Neither the Captain nor the pilot being at all aware of irregularity on their part, nor the people in the boat being able to assign a reason why any such fine was to be levied, Captain Knocker refused to pay it. During this_ discussion some time had necessarily been lost, and they were still parleying when a second shot, but this time from cannon, was fired from the Stade shore. Not to be detained any longer, Knocker offered to pay the mark, but now the people re fused to take it, demanding an additional eight marks for the second shot, threatening that if the nine marks were not instantly paid they would fire with cannon-balls on the steamer. Everybody on board expressed the strongest in dignation at this treatment, and persuaded the Captain to cast anchor, and go on shore himself. He did so, remained there a considerable time, and experienced much vexation, but was obliged to ply the nine marks, in order not to ex pose the lives of his family and passengers, for else the vessel would most certainly have been fired upon with balls ! Knocker was given to understand that Captain Goddard, who had commanded the vessel on her preceding voyage, had not come near enough to the Stade side of the river ; to which Knocker replied that not he, but either the pilot or Captain Goddard, ought to have been made responsible. The affair has been placed in the bands of the British Consul at, Harnburgth—Hambuovk Paper. , ,--' ,- ' - , ',7 -- e--.--- -, t-- ' DREADFUL EXPLOSION OF A GUN POWDER-BOAT, AND DESTRUCTION OF A FOREIGN SHIP. Yesterday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock, a most serious calamity occurred on the Thames, at a place called B , gsby's Hole, rear to Blackwall, where vessels lie pre vious to sailing to take in their powder, by the explosion of a boat laden with gunpowder, and the destruction of a Mal tese brig called the Jose, near to which it was lying. The explosion was heard in all parts of London, but more se verely at Limehouse, Blackwall, Deptford, and Greenwich, where it was believed that the powder mills either at Pur fleet or at Dartmouth had blown up. Much alarm was of course created, and various were the rumours afloat. On our reporters proceeding to Blackwell they discovered that an explosion of a most serious nature had occurred, and that several persons were wounded, besides two persons, a man and a boy, who were entirely lost, being most proba bly blown to pieces in the explosion. The following may be relied on as an authentic narration of the particulars of the occurrence. It. appears that Mr. Thomas Corsan, powder-lighterman, No. 8, Red Lion -street, Wapping, was engaged about four o'clock yesterday in his accustomed i occupation of rece i v i ng pow d er f rom s hi ps lying n Blackwall-reach, and carrying powder to outward-bound ships from the magazine at Erith. Having a quantity of the powder, of which he had ten barrels in his boat, to deliver on board the Jose, he went alongside, and inquired for the Captain, whom he was told was in London ; on being told that he was in London, he refused to leave the powder, and was about to leave the vessel, when the powder in his boat alongside ble w u p w i t h a most tremendous explosion, and threw him backwards with great violence against the main mast, bruising his head and body in a most severe manner. The brig was instantly thrown on her beam-ends, and in five minutes sunk, not a vestige of the skiff, or of the only person that was on board of her, a boy named James Matthews, an apprentice of Mr. Corsan's, was ever after wards seen. Thomas Gray, a Surveyor of Thames-police, was .close to the spot when the accident occurred, and of course instantly, with his men, rowed to the assistance of the crew of the brig, who, by the time he came up s were clinging to the rigging, in a situation of great dan ger. By the assistance of Mr. Sinipson, the principal Cus tom-house officer in command of the revenue cutter at Blackwell, the mastet of the powder-boat, the mate of the brig, and a Maltese boy, who were all severely injured, were taken from the wreck into Gray's boat, who taking advantage of the offer of the Captain of the Gem, Gravesend steamer, to tow him up the River, almost instantly brought them on board the Dreadnought Hospital ship, where they were promptly attended to. Mr. Corsan, although seriously in jured, was well enough to leave the Dreadnought, and proceed to his own home where he was attended by his own medical friends. The injuries, however, sustained by the mate and the boy are much more serious, and it is feared may terminate fatally ; they remain on board the Dreadnought. John Matthews, the apprentice of Mr. Corsan, was a fine young man, 17 years of age, and much respected. Being in the skiff with the powder when the ignition took place, he must no doubt be blown to atoms. The Thames-police officer in vain attempted to search for a remnant of either the boat or the lad. Of the crew of the Jose only one man, the boatswain, is missing ; he was in the hold when the accident took place, and was probably drowned by the sinking of the vessel ; the crew escaped in the different boats which put off to their assistance, both from the shore and from the vessels lying around, the people from which showed much alacrity in affording relief to the unfortunate sufferers. A young lady, a niece of Captain Cashin, was on board the Jose when the explo sion took place, and though much alarmed, escaped with out any positive injury ; she was taken out of the rigging by Mr. Simpson, and is now on board the revenue cutter under his command. On Gray the officer repairing to the vessel a second time, he found her sunk in nine fathom water, her sides had been blown out, as appeared by the splinters and pieces of plank floating about, some of which were twenty feet long ; the vessel was in ballast trim, as she was about to sail to the North to take in coals 'for Malta. Some of the property picked up was taken on shore and secured, and the police are ordered to watch the wreck of the vessel during the night. The accident has occasioned no little excitement in the neighbourhood on both sides of the river, where the explosion was at first thought to be occasioned by lightning, especially as it was raining heavily at the time ; indeed it is probable that the ignition of the gunpowder might have been caused by lightning, as Mr. Corsan says he can assign no other cause for the explosion. He has been employed for many years in removing powder from vessels entering the port of London, and in supplying those outward bound with that necessary but dangerous combustible, but has never till the present awful catas trophe islet with the slightest accident. The boy he had left in the boat was extremely steady, and he had only quitted it a few moments himself when all was safe. The powder was safely packed in copper barrels, and the boat *vas covered securely. The shock was severely felt on the side near East Greenwich, where nearly the whole of the windows in Mr. Petrick's mills were broken by the concussion of the air produced by the explosion ; the passengers in some of the steam-boats, the eltercury, Gcm, and others were much alarmed, and to a late hour last evening the most :Absurd and ridiculous reports were abroed as to the nature of the accident. It is believed that the whole of the bar rels of gun-powder did . not explode, or the mischief must have been much greater, there being about nine hundred weight in all. The shock, which was felt severely at Blackwell, caused a curious incident to occur. An old lady, named Belton, thinking that it was the day of judg ment that had arrived, ran about the place in great dis traction of mind, and it was with much difficulty that sbe is as persuaded by her friends and neighbours to remain within her own house. This was not effected before she lead excited much terror in others, and had worked herself up into a fit of plirenzy. THE PERIODICAL MORTALITY OF THE HUMAN RACE. Our limits arc insufficient to enable us to give the entire table of mortality as furnished by the official authorities ; we have yet thought it necessary to note the first seven pe riods separately, as illustrative of the great excess of morta lity among infant males compared with females. The aver age of the quinquennial periods (except in the cases an n general furnish the annual sum o f mor t a li t y. A c t i termination 'li of the first 12 years about one -thi r d o f those born Je with the departed, the proportion b e i ng against males in IL : ;I ( i i e ) "il ii c ratio of 855 to 732 limudes (yearly.) After this term (12 y ;ars) to the age of 44,—the middle period of life, and by far thz more hazardous to women, — the comparative mortality shows a different result, being as 46 females to 41 males. At the termination of this pe riod, when procreation ceases, female hie is comparatively the most secure, the average mortality front the ages of 4 to 63 b e ing about as 63 males to 60 females. The com parative security of life subsequent to this is slightly in fa vour of females. The table shows a great excess of morta lity among females ; but it should be remarked that the excess of female population after this period of life is nearly 12 per cent. over the males (see table of ages), and the ratio of mortality is hence by so much greater, without indi cating any c omparative insecurity of life. In collating this table from the official documents befOre us, we cannot but remark the extraordinary mortality it evinces at the termi nation of each decade of man's life from the age of 30 years. In every instance, front 30 years of age and up wards, the mortality in the year which terminates the de cade very greatly exceeds that in the preceding and suc ceeding years ; and, as a matter somewhat curious, we shall show these instances : Age.

Mrs. Hall's " Sketches of Irish Charac ter," and, intleed, of every work she has written, makes it a matter of regret that she should so seldom come before the public. The novel so long announced, entitled " Uncle Horace," which is to appear during the present week, has been finished at press these two or three months, and its publication, we presume, has been deferred (by Mr. Colburn), with one or two others, in consequence of the pre-occupied state of the public mind. It is, we are told, a genuine English novel, of a more striking character than any of Mrs. Hall's former productions, the main point of the story being founded on an occurrence of a very extraordinary nature, which occurred some years past. LITERATURE.—Now that the minds of people are no longer distracted by Parliament, politics, and par ties, we are glad to observe that tome of the very intcrinterest ingworks that have appeared during the summer are in a .course of receiving their due meed of admiration from the literary and more retitled classes. In the department of travels alone no former season has exhibited so many claims to public atrention. We have the Poet Campbell ilt Algiers—Captain Alexander among the colonies of Western Africa—Mi,s Pardoe in Turkey—Mr. Robinson for three years in"the Holy Land—Captain Scott in Egypt and years iiithe Holy Land—Captain Scott in Egypt and Candia—Mr. Spencer in Circassia and Tartary—Mid, lastly, Dr. Granville among the Spas of Germany. It would be difficult to say whether u tili ty or amusement b most preminete i n this new production of Dr. Granville. (
