Brown and Cartwright's metned of fitting neitherrequires the extraction of stumps nor gives the slightest pain ; and haying had upwards of 20 years' experience in the profession. can guarantee to restore perfect mastication and articulation, having succeeded in thousands of cases, in hundreds of which other dentists had entirely failed.

":Sly DEAR Sin,-1 have notes of six cases, in which I have admi. nistered your preparation of Copaiba, fin the cure of Gonnrrlicea, in all of which the disease has been subdued in a shorter period 01 time than according to the ordinary plans hitherto made use of. Besides these eases of which I have taken notes, I have tried it in several in. stances at the Greville street Hospital, and am quite satisfied that it possesses a control over the urgent symptoms of Gonorrhoea, r-dievine the discharge and mitigating the scalding in making water that I have not observed in the usual methods of exhibiting Cnpaiba. In one instance only did it disagree with the stomach ; but in this it seemed to depend rather on the method of exhibition than on ti*; re. mcdy itself, for, on diluting it with a larger quantity of watet, , t he objection was at once obviated, and the patient got well in ten from the time that he commenced taking the Medicine.

Tissot, Solomon, Jordan, Goss, and others. By WILLIAM HENRY CASTLE, Surgeon. Illustrated with Cases. This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.: -Ist, The cleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ; and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon strated, the curative plan ought and must be divided. The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been hitherto confined to some cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary stimu lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare. The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay, impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities, comprehended under nervouc debility, will find this Pocket Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va rious wants.

On Friday last, as a constable of the C division was proceeding on his beat, in the neighbourhood of the Custom-house Docks, he saw a sailor-boy, who seemed to be wandering about without any fixed purpose, and whose we-fraught visage evidently betokened a mind but ill at ease. The policeman questioned him as to the place he was bound to, Sz.c., and finding his answers anything but satisfactory, and seeing, moreover, something vary suspicious in the cut of his jib," he considered it his duty to take him into custody, and ac cordingly he was brought before the Magistrates of this office, when, after some vain endeavours to support the character assumed— The bashful look, the rising breast, Alternate spread alums; The lovely stranger stands confect A maid in all her charms! On being interrogated by the Magistrates, she gave the following account of Lerself :—Her father, she said, was a boatman, named Lanigan, who resi..!ed at Tarbert, near Glin,on the banks of the Shannon. Ow ing to some family difference, and the severity of an un amiable step-mother, who treated her very cruelly, and continually reproached her for not going forth to earn her bread, the poor young girl rashly fled from the pa. t,rnal roof; and determined to wend her way towards Dublin, in the hope of procuring a situation. She walked the whole of the weary way, and on Sunday last arrived in the metropolis. In a few days her little stock of money was expended, and there appearing no prospect of her obtaining a situation suitable to her sex and habits, she for a long time revolved in her mind as to what expedient she should adopt to mend her fortunes and save her from that dishonour and de gradation to which poverty and desperation have too often reduced the friendless. She resolved at length on assuming the garb and character of a sailor boy, and in that capacity earn an honourable subsistence. To this resolution her romantic mind was prompted tho rather from having rea 1 in the columns of the news papers recently the glowing account of an adventurous damsel who assumed the character of a mariner, and succeeded in preserving it for many years. With this view she was proceeding down the quays with the in tention of making application to the captains of the ves sels, when, ea we have already stated, she was ,appre hended by the constable. The Magistrates appeared to take great interest in the prisoner's case, and, after giving her many admoni tory cautions, told her they could not detain her in custody. She thanked their Worships, and expressed her deter mination to give up her roving thoughts, and to return to her father's roof, if she could only procure means suf ficient to enable her to do so. She knew that the step she had proposed to herself was one indelicate and ill advised " but," said the poor girl, " what could Ido ? It was better than to stay in Dublin, where I have no means of honest livelihood, and temptation besets me on all sides." Several gentl,m,:in present, sympathising with the poor girl, contributed variously, for the purpose of rail. lig a fund to convey her in safety back to Limerick and Inspector O'Connor, with a feeling of humanity highly to be commended, offered her an asylum in his house for that night, having previously ascertained that she was worthy of such countenance. 11, volunteered, moreover, to mak e a collection among his friends on her behalf.—Dublin Register. A ~her _ rather amusing statement of the majority against Ministers on the recent division, appeared in th_. third edition of a York newspaper last Saturday evening. Ti►e result of the debate had been printed on a slip of p ►per, and pasted upon a paragraph in one of the columns a the journal ; and, after duly announcing that the ma jority against Ministers was "ninety-one," the next line stated tltat they were "to be imprisoned for twelve months." THE " BEARD" MANIA.—A Berlin corres pondent writes that, at a late review by the King of Prussia, •his Majesty was much annoyed by observing many of the spectators wearing enormously large beards, and. turning to one of the hirsute gentlemen, he said with a significant gesture, " Pray, Sir : go and get yourself shaved, fin. here you run great risk of - haring your beard singed." LONDON, WEIJNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1841. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—The settlement for the bills that fell due on Saturday has one off better than was anticipated. The heavy paper, with one exception of a house in the foreign trade, has been all well met, but we regret to state that a considerable number of the smaller class of traders' acceptances have been returned unpaid. There has been a considerable exportation of woollen goods to the North American provinces, to Canada, and. to Nova Scotia• for winter clothing, and a good deal of exports have been sent to various part of the Continent. The former branch of trade was to be expected at this season, and as to the latter we have frequently explained that it was based too much upon the consignment system to be looked upon as a feature of returning improvement in our European trade. The demand for money, contrary to expectiort, still continues, notwithstanding the removal of the pressurs required to meet the bills which came to maturity on Saturday. Considering the nature of the Bank notice, allowing- money at five per cent. on deposit of bills having six months to run, it is surmised that some under current for money is at work amongst capi talists, preparatory to.the appearance of the French loan. This continued pressure for money and depression in the manufacturing and trading interests, coupled with the numerous failures that have taken place, and others that we fear are yet to come, should obtain the serious and immediate attention of the Cabinet. It has been said that the decay in our export trade and stagnation in the demand for British goods have been occasioned by two causes, viz., overtrading and the unsettled state of our political relations. We have, however, endeavoured to show, and we believe successfully, that the origin of all the mischief is the disturbing influence of the present Corn-laws upon the currency. We- have this indisput able fact in. our support, that trade has been suffering un der great vicissitudes and distress ever since the drain of bullion to pay for foreign corn lifter the bad harvest of 1838, and that the Bank of England has been en gaged since that time in a c*tant struggle to get back her gold, in which, to -thi'My;-'her eorts have been only very partially successful; while the " screw" has been in activer operation, and prices consequently very seriously, indeed ruinously, depressed, in the hopes of causing a favourable turn in the Foreign Exchanges. The reaction in Spanish Active Bonds is not surpris ing after the recent improvement of 3 per cent., and the delay that has occurred in obtaining the loan of 60,000,000 of reels destined to defray the past due dividends on the Indemnity Bonds, and to provide towards payment of the interest on the capitalized Coupons. M. Surra y Bull has anything but a bed of roses. A new class of credi tors, too, have come forward, claiming preference of payment. We allude to those natives of Spain who supplied the Christian Government with funds during the civil war, un d er t h e s h ape o f f orce d " l oans. " W cannot admit that these parties have any right of pre : - ference whatever over the foreign creditors, to whom . the revenues of the State stand unequivocally pledged in • security ; ' , neither do we believe that the Spanish Minis- • ter of Finance meditates any postponement of payment of the interest on the Indemnity Bonds, or of the appro priation of the balance of the 60,000,000 teals' to the liquidation of the interest of 3 per cent. on the Coupons 1 of the debt to be capitalized: The upright and firm conduct of M. Surra y ulna are the best guarantees that he will persevere in the same course of public faith to wards the foreign bondholders that has distinguished his career since he came into office. TIMES. —The result of the payments of the 4th has been remarked among the discount houses as having passed over extremely well, notwithstanding the demand • which was current for money throughout the week. This is one evidence' that the retail trade of the country is it ml, healthy condition, as it is chiefly the paper run ning in this trade that falls due at this particular period. Our advices from the Mauritius state that the news received there respecting the Chinese expedition was to the effect that a misunderstanding had occurred between Captaiu Elliot and Sir J. Gordon Bremer, which led to the latter returning to Calcutta to require reinforcements, he being of opinion that coercion was necessary to bring the Chinese authorities to a sense of their duty, while Captain Elliot thought that conciliation would effect everything, not only to the extent of carrying on the trade with Europ ean na ti ons , but also to the final re , coaciliation of the English and Chinese Powers. It is said in these accounts that the representations of Sir J. Gordon after had met the entire approval of the Governor-General of India, who had been invested with full powers to order Sir J. Gordon Bremer to act as the. Co-Plenipotentiary of Captain Eliot till the arrival of Admiral Sir G. Parker. ta ae fulllnd a i Indian e o p u a n p t e o r s f th e c e e rivedmo nthly p Ov o rt e rlo of n t d h eMa meetingc n: of the Agricultural Society in May last. The principal communication made was the report of the Government Botanical Garden at Saharunpore, by which it appeared that in compliance with Lord Auckland's orders, large parties of collectors had been sent out early in the seed season of 1839 to the Himmalaya, who had made a valu able collection of seeds. In 1838 upwards of 500 species were sent from the Himmalayas to England, but most of them were considered unworthy attention, while in the next year the seeds were selected mher on account of their choice quality than for the sake of obtaining nu merical variety. Nearly all these germinated successfully, and the different kinds of Himmalaya pine had flourished almost in every instance, both in Great Britain and Ire land, as far north as Tessa, and south as Cornwall, the ' severity of winter having left the seedlings unin li - jured. The lucerne sent from Candahar and the Affghan clover had likewise flourished in Eng land ; but the latter, which is said to be im portant on account of its luxuriance and the avidity with which it is sought for by cattle, had not attracted much attention. By the superintendent of the botanical garden a constant succession of useful seeds, agricultural, vegetable, and medicinal, had been received both from the India House and other parts. The carob tree, the seeds of• which are eaten in Syria, was found to thrive, and expected to prove of great benefit to the poorer classes in India. Egyptian wheat had likewise proved productive, and an assortment of seeds from Switzerland had been found superior to articles of the same sort hitherto cultivated in India. An experiment had been tried which augured well for the cultivation of cotton. Some specimens of soil from the island of Cheduba had been analyzed, as well as some specimens of American soil, and they were found to be precisely identical. In a few years it was expected that the island and its vicinity would produce cotton equal to the very best in America. All these facts, which transpired at the meeting, tend to illustrate the great and progressive development of which our Indian possessions are susceptible, and the continu ally new sources that may be opened in them, provided they are allowed every fair advantage. POST.—With the exception of Spanish nothing has been done in foreign stock. The first quotation was 221, which fell immediately afterwards to 22, and it remained at that price until nearly the close of the market, when a desperate attempt was successfully made, by which the price was raised nominally to 22* to 22f, at which it closed. The expose of the plan to entrap a few unwary purchasers has had the desired effect of prevent ing any one being taken in by the supposition that the Government was about to make a payment on account of the long standing debt, and that the present rise was nothing else than a desperate attempt of a few speculators to raise the prices, and make money out of their dupes. The only parties really interested in these Securities, or in any other of the bankrupt countries, are those who really held the documents at the time of the insolvency. It is for them and the Government to come to an arrnge meat. The law here, and a just one, precludes the holders of notes of a bankrupt to prove for more than he actually paid for them. This evil is much increased by such bonds being allowed to be quoted, since it induces the belief that some respectability is still attached to them. MeanwhiL the agent is the only one who .roaps any benefit, by charging a commission for endeavouring to effect the conversion, _ . C 'mmercial bills which fell due on Saturday were all promptly met, with the exception of some acceptann.!s by a toreigh house, which, it was understood, would be protested to-day ; the amount of the engagements, how ever, is not large. PROJECTED LIGHT ON THE GOODWIN SANDS.—The Lords of the Admiralty and the Board of Trinity House have finally arranged with Mr. W. Bush, the engineer, that the cast-iron casson which he has now nearly completed, at Deal, will - on Wednesday, the • 15th instant, be floated to its berth on the north-east end of the Goodwin Sands. It will be remembered, some weeks ago, we noticed the progress of this undertaking, which is now about to be sunk and firmly fixed to the Chalk Rock, which Mr. Bush calculates on finding about thirty feet below the surface of the sand. The casson will then form a base upon which a lofty column of stone will be raised, surmounted with a light, and from its position and general usefulness to all maritime countries, will be called " The Light of all Nations," which will be inscribed on the coital:in. This new Good win light is not only designed as a beacon to warn the mariner off these Sands, which have been so fatal to thousands, but also it is intended as a guide from the North Sea through a swatchway, hitherto, from its danger, impracticable. This channel is about half a mile wide, and - leads into a capacious bay within the Good win, having from thirty to forty feet water, and being sheltered from every quarter. Ships will there ride with 'safety in all- weathers. A very large party are floati ng of going out on the 13th to view the floati n the casson, and the Government steamers are ordered to be in readiness. It is expected that his Grace the Duke of Wellington, who takes a lively interest in the under t:.king, will be present on the occasion.

A meeting of the Members of this Club was held yes terday afternoon, pursuant to a requisition by circular, for the purpose of receiving the report of the Committee, and in order that resolutions might be passed in respect of the report, and the future management of the Club. In consequence of the weather, the meeting was but thinly attended. Among the gentlemen present were Mr. Henry Tuffaell (Chairman), Mr. Williams, Mr. Cop pock, Mr. Leonard, Mr. A'Becket, Mr. Pouncy, Mr. Brownly, Mr. Hammond, Rev. Mr. Potter, Mr. Barnard, Mr. Phelps, &c. The SECRETARY proceeded to read the Report, which was as follows : The Middlesex Reform Registration Club has now been established more than five years, and during that period the only attention paid to the registration in the county of Middlesex has been by the instrumentality of this Club, and more than 3,800 Reform votes have been sustained, and 1,900 Tory votes expunged by its means. During the present year a large number of votes have been registered, and a considerable addition made to the strength of the Liberal interest. More than 800 objections have been served oti voters of doubtful qualification, and so far the Club has done all that could be done to the support of the Liberal interest. On the Tory side more than 1,500 objections have been served, and it is now absolutely necessary to adopt such measures as may effectually protect voters professing Liberal principles, and defeat Tory claimants. The great majority of the objections taken by the Tories are, it is believed, frivolous, and only require to be vigorously met to be set aside. It is also believed that the great majority of the objections taken by the Club are sustainable, while no frivolous or vexa tious objection has knowingly been served by the Club. Of the utility of the Club the last election has been a test, and the triumphant return of Mr. .Byng to Parlia ment for the 15th time, in spite of the boasting of the Tories that they could return two Members, is owingAg the care and attention to the representation which this Club has been able to give. The fund;of the Club are totally exhausted, and a considerable sum is re quisite to meet the necessary outlay. If this can be furnished no doubt exists as to the result of the Liberal interest, and that its influence may be materially strengthened. In truth your Committee believe that by attention to this years' registration two Members may be returned for the county of Middlesex. At the Conclusion of the Report, Mr. Hum., of Uxbridge, rose to propose the following resolution :—" That it is of vital importance to the Liberal cause, in the county of Middlesex, that every exertion should be made to expunge the names of spu rious and illegal Tory voters from the register, who have been duly served with notices of objection ; and, also, that Reformers should be protected against. the vexatious objections which have been served this ,•year by the Tories upon nearly 1,500 Liberal voters." Mr. A'BECKET seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. • Mr. COPPOCK proposed the next resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Barnard, and carried, "That to effect this important•oVect, it is essential that a subscription be entered into for the purpose of defraying the expenses attending the Registration Cours." A subscription was then entereed into by the members present, 'amounting to 1601., and thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting adjourned to the 25th inst. _ _ We should have given the speeches of the lion. Gen tlemen irho proposed and seconded the resolutions, hav ing sent a reporter fur that purpose, but the Committee considered that as this meeting was a private one, it would be sufficient if the Report, together with the re• solutions, were published. The gentlemen of the Press were, therefore, not admitted to the room, but the Report and resolutions were readily furnished by the Secretary. The following letter was read by Henry Tuffnel, Esq., ALP., on taking the chair yesterday, and was omitted from our report : " West Cowes, Sept, 6, 1841. " Sir—l am sorry not to be able to attend the meet ing of the Middlesex Reform Registration Club to-mor row, which I should have great pleasure in doing bad I been in London, but I was not aware of the day it was intended to fix, until it was too late to alter my own arrangements. _ I shall be obliged to you to receive the enclosed small subscription to the fund ; and . " I remain, Sir, your obliged servant, " To W. IL James, Esq. " R. GROSVENOR." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HAT7'ON GARDEN. DARING ROBBERIES.—On Monday Henry Salts, a young man, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Combe, charged by Mr. Robert Linward, pawnbroker, of St. John-street, Clerkenwell, with having stolen twelve neck laces, two gold lockets, four silver masonic medals, and other articles to a considerable amount. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that he had known the prisoner for the last- three or four years, as being in the. habit of pledging articles at his shop, and, being aware that he was a journeyman cabinet-maker, in work at a house in the neighbour hood, he had no suspicion of his being dishonest. Witness was in the habit of depositing valuable pledges in a drawer behind the counter, into which the prisoner had frequently seen him place property, and from time to time he had missed various articles, and he was at a loss to account how they could be stolen, or whom to suspect ; and the persons who had pledged the articles were continually applying to hint for the resto ration of their property, and threatening him with legal proceedings. He gave information to the police, witri description of the -property, and inquiries were made, when it was traced that a silver masonic medal, a work box, and other articles, had been pledged by a person answering the prisoner's description at Mr. Wood's, an other pawnbroker, residing within a short distance from the prosecutor's silet, on the 21st of July last, when witness attended and identified the articles. On receiv ing a description of the person who pledged them, he immediately suspected the prisoner, whom he gave into custody. James Wallis, shepman to the other pawnbroker, pro duced a number of the stolen articles, and swore that they were pledged by the prisoner. The prisoner, in his defence, denied the robberies, or having pledged the articles at Mr. Wood's. He was en tirely innocent. Mr. Wood's shopman, however, said he could positively identify his person. Mr. COMBE remanded the prisoner for a week, and in structed Sergeant Scotsman; of G division, to use every exertion to trace the stolen property. FINE ARTS.

WOOL WICII POLICE. In consequence of a desperate row between the cadets belonging to the Royal Military Academy and the police on Saturday night, the office was crowded to hear the charges ugainst Mr: Edward Gilbert, Mr. Wm. Grant, the lion. Frederick Russell, and a waiter named Joseph Ashdown. Captain Barnaby, R.A., Adjutant of the Academy, was in attendance to watch the proceedings. Upon the prisoners coming into Court they placed them selves in front of the dock, and were ordered by Mr. Grove to take their place in the dock. Police-constable Palmer, 15G R, deposed that, on Sa turday night, about half-past eleven, he was on duty in High-street, when he saw a body of young gentlemen attacking three cadets in uniform. He was not aware at the time they'all belonged to the same corps, nor how the quarrel commenced. He desired them to desist and go home, which they refused to do. ,One of them struck him, and the others knocked him down, and would . have murdered him had not. Sergeant Perry come to his assistance. On his arrival, he pointed out!the gentleman he had taken, but could not get near him, for when they attempted to do so they were brutally kicked and assaulted. When timely as sistance arrived, they secured, one by one, the prisoners at the bar, who declared, had they got their sticks, they Would have cleared them all, and were otherwise most outrageous in the station-house. Mr. GROVE said—" I will tell you, young gentlemen, that you are liable to be indicted and tried at the Ses sions for the offence you have committed, and of being sentenced to two years' imprisonment, with hard labour ; or I can deal with the case summarily, and fine you 51. each." Mr. Mallalieu, the Superintendent, said it was not the wish of the Commissioners to press the matter to the full extent. Mr. GROVE—It is against the standing orders of the Academy that the prisoners should enter a public-house, and disgraceful to them as gentlemen; but as the as saults which had been committed were not very severe, and military punishment awaits them at the Academy, such as solitary confinement, I shall take that into om sideration and mitigate the tine, upon a promise being made in public Court that you will not offend again, to 40s. each, or, in default, 21 days' hard labour in the House of Correction. The prisoner Ashdown I shall discharge, considering him as having acted under the directions of the other prisoners. The required promise was made, and the cash being forthcoming the young gentlemen departed in charge of Captain Burnaby. DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A BOY.—Mon day afternoon an inquest was held at the Bird-cage, Bird-cage-walk, Hackney-road, before Mr. Baker, on the body or James Herridge, aged 17, of No. 19, Crabtree row, Bethnal-green. James Herridge. a carman, said that the deceased, his son, had been lately employed at a fancy-trimming-manufactory, in Bunhill-row, St. Luke's. He had been in a very melancholy state for the last fortnight, and not so attentive to his work as for• merly. On Monday week last deceased was told to buy some bread in the City-road as he returned home, but instead of doing so he spent the money (two shillings), and remained out all night. Deceased left home every morning of the week unti4 Saturday last, when witness told him to return in the evening and bring his wages with him. At about seven o clock the same morning de ceased was found in a room adjoining his bed-room sus pended by the neck to a peg in the wall, and quite dead. After he had absconded with the money on Monday, he was found by the police wandering about Upper Clapton, and being apparently destitute they took hint before the Magistrates at Worship-street. Verdict—Temporary insanity.

The former is evi dently far from productive in grain ; though sua.dently bulky m straw.—Edinburgh chronicle. The fine weather towards the conclusion 'of last week considerably advanced the ripening of the crops in this district. The week commenced propitiously on Monday, but it rained during the whole of Tuesday. This state of the weather did not prevail far to the south; but in the west there must have been heavy rains, as the river has since come down much swollen. On Wednesday the cutting was recommenced, and there is now a consi derable portion of the fields in the neighbourhood cut down. The report of the crops is much more favour able than was anticipated a few weeks ago. The winter wheats are spoken of as likely to turn oat remarkably well ; barley also is a fair crop, but oats arc likely to be deficient.—Berwick Advertiser. We have had, generally speaking, fine, though rathar threatening weather for the last week. For the last ten days the glass is at changeable, though the rain has not descended. This is a glorious harvest day. Bat, not withstanding these favourable prospects, we shall be obliged in Dublin, and throughout Ireland generally, to eat foreign wheat principally for the next twelve months, as we have for the last.—Dublin Post. The weather since our last has still shown a prepon derance of moisture, but favourable intervals have oc curred, and a pretty good breadth of wheat and oats has been cut down. We are glad to learn that the fields ge nerally in this district arc stooking well.—Paisley Ad vertiser. _ _ _ Since our last, the weather has remained unbroken, and the harvest has male rapid progress.-Edinburgh Courant. _ _ ..... Great progress has been made in the saving of the harvest, the accounts of the state of which in these dis tricts are much more favourable than had been looked for some three or four weeks since.—Cork Reporter,. HANTS AND SOUTIIERN COUUTIES.—Since our last report the weather has been exceedingly fine, and the harvest has proceeded without interruption. Nearly the whole of the wheat, and a considerable portion of barley and oats, have been saved, and with the continu ance of a few days fine weather the great balk of the crop will - he secured without any material injury. In the neighbouring counties the crops are spoken most fa vourably of, and although in Wilts, Dorset, Gloucester, &c., they are not in the state of forwardness that we are, the harvest is progressing satisfactorily, and promises a fair average, both in quantity and quality.—Hampshire Advertiser.
