HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP TION of ARTIFICIAL 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 colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require tho 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 Five. TO TIE LADIES.

FIFTEEN LIVES LOST. SErNDERLAND, 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 ho 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 ono hundred men and boys were in the mine at the time of tho 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 rezovery.

BRITIS H EMPIRE MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. —An extraordinary general meeting of the members of this Company was held at Radley's Hotel, New Bridge-street, on Tuesday, August 15th; John Gover, Esq., presided, and stated, that the meeting was called to consider the expediency of making various alte rations which had been found necessary in the deed of settlement. He congratulated the members present on the progress of the Company, as shown by the fact that, since February 29, when the annual general meeting was held, there had been effected 283 new policies—namely 124 life, and 162 investment assurances—being at the rate of 51 per month, and forming a total of 879 policies issued since the commencement of the Company's ope rations in January, 1847. The total amount received in premiums has been 5,7661. 12s. sd. The Chairman then called o❑ Mr. W. IL Watson, the Solicitor of the Company, to state the particulars of the proposed alte rations, the most important of which was one providing for the formation of a reserved fund of 100,0001. Mr. Millar moved, and Mr. Gardiner seconded a series of resolutions adopting the alterations, which were car ried unanimously. Atter a vote of thanks to the Chair man, the meeting adjourned. SIIEFFIELD TOWN-COUNCIL.—On Wednesday an election took place to supply the vacancy occasioned by the disqualification of one of the members of the Shef field Town-council. The candidates were Mr. S.

One of the most extraordinay pedestrian perform ances ever attempted, that of walking , : however in credible it may appear, twenty miles in three hours , was accom plished yesterday. The match was one of s o private a character that there were scarcely two hundred persons present; had it, indeed, been known that s uch a per. • tor mance was about to be atte m p ted, th e assemblage wo uld have been immense; bu t as the match Was one be tween noblemen, and the odds on time of a most extra ordinary character, the desire was to keep the matter quiet, lest there should be any obstruction. The match was made some six weeks ago over a conversation on. the subject of pedestrian qualifications, when Lord. C-- bet the Marquis of W-- 2001. to 1 that he could not find a man who could accomplish the task. On the following day Temperance, the well-known and highly respectable pedestrian, the proprietor of the B lue Boar's, Head, Lon acre, was applied to to find a man, it being known that g- his integrity mig ht be relied on, C. Westhall was immediately, after a tria l b y 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 Westhall's training was watched with the utmost car e, and ev ery attention that reason could suggest applie d to him. lie progr esse d favourably, so much so that yesterday was selected for the issue. The parties met at two o'clock yesterday, a t t h e Threo Magpies, Sepson-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. lie looked extremely well and confi dent, but the opinion of first-rate judges was how ever good he was at speed, he could n o t achieve such a performance. The result proved the r ev erse , and its &- 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 N, AUGUST 18, 1848.. assistance as the peculiar severity of the task required. The first mile was done 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. Ho 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. 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 spa 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 any 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 gristly 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 84 for Transfer, and 86% to 86% for Account. At present the market is scarcely so good, some sales for money having been effected.

AsirroN, 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 confldently 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 j afternoon, be fore Mr. Rutter and a highly respectably jury, consisting chiefly of mill-owners. After viewing 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 large ball, which had passed through the lungs, fractuted 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. He 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, and the magistrates have signified their in tention of being present. Two o'CLocn r.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 REWARD. " 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 is 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 fire to the mansions of Mr. James Taylor, of Moseley hall, and Mr. Munts, M.P., of Ley-hall. The police were consequen'ly posted at those places for two days, but they are now withdrawn. There does not appear to be, as far as can be judged from outward appearances, the slightest probability of a tumult. RIGHT ON WAY THROUGH GLEN-TILT.--On Fri day last a discussion took place before Lord Cunieg• Name, 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 Cuninghamo 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. He 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 declarater. 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 fur 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 which the respondent belonged, would have the same right to use the road as himself. It would ope❑ 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 ease before Lord Ivory, it was maintained that this was not a servi tude road, but one 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.—Scotsman. 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 extermination. The abolition of the order of the Jesuits lid 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. The fathers are to receive four saris (about Is. 4d.) per day, and the lay brothers two saris (Bd.) per day, so that the treatment in this instance is tar more just than that which the body recently experienced at Naples, The advises 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. The 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 roust be deducted from the above difference. LIGHTING THR NEW HORSES OF FARLIAIVENT.—. 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 Ilavre, 100 firkins of this article, the produce of France. Tim PRUSSIAN LEGATION.—Letters were received on Wednesday froth 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 his return at the seat they have taken, near Barnet.
