A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH, 52, FLEET-STREET. R. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP TION of ArairicuAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change col3ur or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastica tion.-52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Fire. TO TUB LAMES. This lady had the following letter inserted In the "Times" news paper on Aug. 7,1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months, and the whole of her hairis much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. . " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s ftegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an ils. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the abovefact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops en the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it taming grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The raost delicate ladies may ase this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hoar. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes.

SUNDERLAND, AUGUST 16.—1 t is our painful duty to report that a melancholy accident occurred yesterday, at about one o'clock, by an explosion in Polka Pit, at Murton, near South Hetton, about ten miles from this town, by which twelve men and three boys have lost their lives. Another boy is so much injured that he is not expected to recover. One horse and two ponies were also killed. The pit had been laid off work for about six weeks, from an overflow of water, and had re sumed working about a week previous to the accident. Upwards of one hundred men and boys were in the mine at the time of the explosion. The explosion was heard, but not seen by any other of the workmen in other parts of the mine, who are unable to state (so far as we can learn) under what circumstances it took place. Had the explosion been general in the mine, the whole of the workmen above-mentioned must have suffered. One of the underviewers, on hearing the explosion, im mediately proceeded down the pit, and towards the place where it happened, with a view to extricate the sufferers. He was suddenly attacked by the " choke damp," and was instantly overpowered and rendered in sensible. Other persons by whom he was attended drew him back, and had him taken out of the pit. He re mained in a doubtful state till this morning, when a favourable change took place, and he is now in a fair way of re3overy.

The match was one of so p r i vate a character that there were scarce l y two h undred pers ons present; had it, indeed, been known that su c h a per formance was about to be attempted, the assemblage w ould have been immense; but as the match w as one be • t we en noblemen, and the odds on time of a most extra ordinary character, the desire was to keep th e matter quiet, lest there should be any obstruction. The match was made some six weeks ago over a conversati on on the subject of pedestrian qualifications, when Lord C-- bet the Marquis of W--- 2 . 00/. to 1 that he could not find a man who could accomplish the task. On the following day Tempera nce, the well-k nown and hi g hl y , respectable pedestrian , the proprietor of the Blue B oar ' s Head, Long-acre, was applied to to find a man it being esthall known that his integrity might be relied W on, C. was immediately, after a trial b) , Temperance, chosen f or the performance and put in active training, the contem plated performance creating the most lively interest. So extremely great was the task that Wes thaws training was watched with the utmost care, and ev ery attention that reason could sugges t applied to him. li e progressed favourably, so much so that yesterday was selected for the issue. The parties met at two o'clock yesterday, a t t h e Three Magpies, Sopson-green (about three miles below Hounslow). The assemblage we have spoken of con sisted of the aristocracy, who all appeared most anxious to see operations commenced. At three o'clock Westhall made his appearance at the starting post, a mile having been measured just below the fourteenth stone, and walking towards London, a mile out and in. He looked extremely well and confi dent, but the opi n i on c f first-rate judges was, that how ever good he was at speed, ho could not achieve such a performance. The result proved the reverse, and its de tails and conclusion will be read with astonishment. Chronometers having been set, the pedestrian started at a beautiful speed, attended by Temperance, who waited upon him, regulated his speed, and gave him such S Ny AUGUST assistance as the peculiar severity of the task required. The first mile was dono in 8 minutes 5 seconds, and the second in nearly the same time ; four miles occupied 33 minutes 50 seconds, six in 50 minutes 40 seconds, eight in 1 hour 7 minutes 45 seconds, twelve in 1 hour 43 minutes 10 seconds, fourteen in 2 hours 1 minute 31 se conds, sixteen in 2 hours, 20 minutes 5 seconds, and concluded this most extraordinary Herculean task in 2 hours 57 minutes 30 - seconds, winning by 2 minutes 30 seconds. His style throughout elicited expressions of admira tion from the nobility and gentry present. He never appeared to flag until the last three miles, when a " re fresher" was administered. He gradually grew more distressed, but his courage carried him through the task. He was immediately carried ; into the Magpie, and, as he suffered from cramp in the legs, required some sharp rubbing and attendance, when he soon re covered, and in the evening was enabled to go to his own residence. THE CHARTIST MOVEMENT. ASHTON, THURSDAY.—The whole neighbourhood of Ashton is still in great excitement.: Warrants are issued for the apprehension of several persons. No clue has as yet been found to the murderers of Bright. Every effort is being used, and it is confidently expected that the guilty parties will soon be discovered. The police are exceedingly active in their exertions, and have found arms of almost every description. The Chartist leaders have all absconded, both from Ashton and Staleybridge. The coroner's inquest was held yesterday afternoon, be fore Mr. Rutter and a highly respectably jury, consisting chiefly of mill-owners. Afterviewing the body of Bright, the examination of Warren, the old man who assisted Bright, was taken. Dr. Campbell then stated that he had made a post mortem examination of the body; that he found a wound a little below the nipple of the right breast, which must have been made by a largo ball, which had parsed through the lungs, fractured the seventh and eighth ribs, and passed out of the back; that the body must have been in a stooping posture when the ball passed through. fie found also a large wound on the thigh, made by some instrument which had passed quite through the leg; and also several cuts on the left hand, as if made by seising some sharp instrument. _ The CORONER said that it would be best not to pro ceed with the examination for some time, as further evidence would be obtained, and he adjourned the inquest till next Monday week. Bright will be interred this afternoon, anti the magistrates have signified their in tention of being present. Two O'CLOCK P.M.—lt is reported that a young man has'just been arrested in the street by a policeman, sup posed to be implicated in the riots. The following has been issued by the magistrates:— "FIFTY POUNDS DEWARD, " Whereas, on the night of the 14th of August inst., James Bright, one of the police-constables of the borough of Ashton-under-Lyne, was shot and wilfully murdered in the public streets of this borough; now we do hereby give notice that her Majesty's Government has offered a reward of fifty pounds to any person who shall give such information and evidence as shall lead to the dis covery and conviction of the murderer or murderers. And we do also give notice that the Secretary of State for the Home Department will advise the grant of her Majesty's gracious pardon to any accomplice not being the person who actually fired the shot, who shall give such information and evidence as shall lead to the same result. " By order of the Mayor and Magistrates, " HALL AND TAYLOR. " Town-hall, Ashton-under-Lyne, Aug. 17." BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.—This morning , between two and three o'clock, two Irishmen, named Ragan and Jenny, living respectively in the Lower-priory and Inge street, were apprehended by Chief Superintendent Ste phens, charged with uttering seditious language at one of the usual meetings of Confederates and Chartists in Loveday-street. They were brought before Mr. Beale and Mr. Luckcock, at the police-office to-day, and re manded until to-morrow. George White, who was lately upon a visit to this town on a Chartist mission, was apprehended in Man chester yesterday, and will to-morrow, with the prisoners above-mentioned, be brought before the Birmingham magistrates. The town remains quite. In the early part of the week it was rumoured that the disaffected intended to set are to the mansions of Mr. James Taylor, of Moseley hall, and Mr. Muntz, M.P., of Ley-hall. The police were consequently posted at those places for two days, but they are now withdrawn. There does not appear to be, as far as qn be judged from outward appearances, the slightest pbability of a fiimult. RIfiIIT 07 WAY THROUGH GLEN-TILT.--On Fri day last a discussion took place before Lord Curling hame, the ordinary on the bills on a note of suspension and interdict presented by the Duke of Athole against Mr. Gordon, a farmer in Aberdeenshire, being allowed to drive cattle through the valley of Glen-Tilt to Castle town of Braemar, which was near his farm. Having heard the case at great length, Lord Cuninghame said that the arguments had been very full and very able, and it appeared to him that the question as now raised was one really of very great importance. Ho was inclined very strongly to think that it was to be inferred from the statements of parties as he had heard them, that the public have had no recent continuous possession of the road. That was still his impression, and accordingly the party who first claimed it as a public road proceeded upon a declarator. The respondent in this case, on the other hand, came to assert his right to the actual and immediate use of the road. That was certainly a dif ferent question, and ho doubted if there were at present grounds for supporting such a claim; and upon that point it was very material to observe that the claim as held by the respondent, was not for a specific object, con fined to himself, but for the whole public, so that, if an interdict were to be refused, the effect must unneces sarily be to declare that the farmers in the extensive dis trict to whisk the respondent belonged, would have the same right to use the road as himself. It would open the road to the whole public; and he doubted if that would be reasonable when the question as to the exis tence of the road, of its continuous use in modern times, was the very point to be settled. In the case before Lord Ivory, it was maintained that this was not a servi tude road, but ono of the public roads of the country. That issue was now fairly raised, but he was not pre pared to say that the road must be generally used in the meantime by the whole public till the right to it was ascertained.—Scoisraan. From Palermo the date is the 4th of August, and the French fleet from that port had sailed, it is said, for Cagliara. The letters dwell on the exasperation mani fested by all classes against the Neapolitans, and the pro spects, in case hostilities should ensue, of a war al most of exte rm i nat i on. The abolition' of the order of the Jesuits had just been decreed by Par liament. Their patrimony is to be confiscated to the State, the foreigners amongst them are to be ex pelled, and they are no longer to wear the dress of their order. Provision, however, has been made for their support. Th o fathers are to receive four taxis (about i s. 4d.) p er d ay, and the lay brothers two taxis (Bd.) per day, so that the treatment in this instance is far more just than that which the body recently experienced at Naples. The advices from New York by the Hibernia, announcing a decline of more than a half per cent. in the rate of exchange, contributed yesterday morning in some measure to the heaviness in the English funds, Since the knowledge that considerable orders have lately been sent out for Indian corn and provisions renders it probable that the downward tendency will continue. The tightness of the money-market had in no way diminished, the rate being still from 12 to 18 per cent., and the long continuance of the disparity in the rate as compared with that pre vailing in England was a subject of general surprise. Owing to this pressure, the stock-market showed some heaviness, but it had received support from a number of orders, partly from England, but chiefly from the continent. By many persons an expectation was en tertained of severe failures during the coming months of September, October, and November, when the chief col lection of country debts commences by the im porting houses, but it is probable the orders now gone out will cause an increase of confidence. At Boston speculations in railroads, mills, &c., have long been carried on to 'a great extent, and it is in that city that the occurrence of a revulsion is most feared. rho course of exchange at New York on London is 1091 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.08 per cent. against in England. But, the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the in terest must be deducted from the above difference. LIGHTING THE NEW HOTISES Or PARLIAMENT. — Last night, experiments for the purpose of testing a new system of gas burners, with which it is proposed to light the interior of the New Houses of Parliament, were made in Trafalgar-square, before a committee, and Mr. Barry, the architect. A branch, containing eight burners for consuming common gas, was introduced into the reflector at the south-east corner of the square, and which threw a most brilliant light, by which small print could be read at forty paces. The result was considered satisfactory. FRENCH BUTTER.—Among the arrivals at present taking place from the Continent are some parcels of butter from France, which, not being of common occur rence, are of interest. The steamer Belfast, arrived from Calais, has brought 32 packages, and the James Watt, from llavre, 100 firkins of this article, the produce of France. 111 E PRUSSIAN LEGATION.—Letters were received on Wednesday from Berlin, in which his Excellency Cheva lier Bunsen states that urgent business had prevented his de parture for London, and that he is likely to be detained longer in the Prussian capital than was originally contem plated. Madame Bunsen and family, who came to town from Wales to meet his Excellency, will await Lis return at the seat they have taken, near Barnet. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.--Traffic for the week ended Aug. 5, 1,807/. 4s.

The first of the new decimal coins, in conformity with the plan of the present Master of the Mint, has just been completed. It is a two-shilling piece, bearing the profile of the Qtteen on the obverse. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, but there was no change in the quotations. Sales 3,000 to 4,000 bales. Railway Shares were gloomy in the early part of the day, and prices were declining. Subsequently a better feel ing prevailed, and there was a general improvement in the quotations. The expectation entertained in some quarters that the Bank of England directors would advance the rate of dis count at their meeting yesterday, has not been realised, al though it is fully understood that the subject engages atten tion. Probably it may be considered that with the present ample supply of bullion, and the prospect of finer weather, a week's delay in raising the value of money will be judicious. Much will, of course, depend upon the continuousness of the drain of gold, and of a favourable temperature, whether an advance takes place at all just now. It would occasion,even if adopted at once, no incon venience to the mercantile community, for they are not spe culating, and the accounts we this day receive from abroad tend to show that such operations in corn as have been en tered into are mostly on foreign account, the English cau tiously abstaining from purchases — to auy extent. We may need supplies, but a brilliant autumn will much diminish our wants. The Corn Trade is dull this morning, with a good quantity of foreign on offer. The accident on the North Western Railway has been much talked of in the City, and although captious opposition on the part of the engineers would be strongly condemned, we must say that the reasonable bearing of the men - who consider themselves aggrieved, and who as sober individuals would be worth even a higher rate of pay, enlists them many advocates. The night travelling will certainly be diminished on this line, unless a speedy settlement of the dispute is effected, for rumour is sure to aggravate the extent of 'any accident that occurs, and which even under other circumstances might have taken place. The meetings of the Eastern Counties, Great Western, and South-Eastern Railway proprietors were of a more satis factory character, yesterday, than those of some other com panies, and may serve, probably, to restore a little more confidence in railway investments, which at present greatly need a lever. The accounts from Germany received to-day advised the commencement of the Danish blockade, but still there are sanguine expectations of peace, through the able offices of Lord Cowley. The Funds have been a little firmer to-day. Consols 86 to 864 for Transfer, and 86% to 86% for Account.
