BROWNE and CARTWRIGHT, Surgeon- Dentists, 21, Fleet-street, beg to call public attention to their new and beautiful EVERLASTING TEETH, the most clean and wholesome that can be worn. They are so exactly formed to nature, both in shape and colour, that the closest observer cannot detect the difference, with this advantage—they never change colour, decay, or wear out ; and a complete set, on fine gold, for which they win only charge 15 to 18 guineas, will last for 20 years or upwards, and are far superior to those usually charged 30 or 40 guineas ; a single tooth, one guinea ; three ditto, two guineas and a half. Natural teeth supp lied from Si. per set, or 10s. per tooth. Messrs. Browne and Cartwright's method of fitting neither requires the extraction of stumps nor gives the slightest pain ; and having 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. The above are totally different from the brittle glossy French teeth, usually supplied by dentists as newly-discovered mineral 1I:c. A visit will convince the most sceptical of the fact.

PRICE sd. AWFUL CALAMITY. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO LIVES LOST. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. (From the Liverpool Albion of yesterday.) We have heard the account of the catastrophe given by the persons who were on the deck of the Nottingham when the col lision occurred. In substance it was as follows : " About a quarter iiast two o'clock, on Saturday morning, when about fifteen miles to the westward of Holyhead, the weather calm, but rather thick, one of the men of the watch saw a ship bearing down upon the Nottingham ; she had no light at her mast, while the steamer had three lights. He re ported the fact to the second mate, who was then at the wheel. The second mate hailed the ship and was answered. He desired her to starboard the helm. This, they thought, was not done. A voice from the ship, which was supposed to have b,en that of the Captain; requested the steamer to starboard her helm, as he could not bring the ship,over; she not answering her helm. At this instant the Governor Fenner struck the Nottingham amidships, In loss than five minutes , the s hi p filled with water, and disappeared. The steamer became quite motionless after the shock, and the people on board of her were unable to make the least attempt to succour those on board the ship, which sunk bow foremost. The screams of the people on the wreck were heart-rending, but they soon ceased, and all was still. The steamer's starboard side was completely stove in : the paddle shaft and wheel were shivered in pieces : the starboard engine was broken, and the funnel carried away. Seventeen cows were killed seven more and 78 sheep were thrown overboard, and 11 died before the vessel reached port. On Saturday evening the wreck of the Nottingham was fallen in with by another steamer, and towed into the Mersey. " The opinion on board the Nottingham was, that the Go verner Fenner's helm, instead of being put to starboard, as it ought to have been, must have been put to port, for, if it had been put to starboard, the ship would have cleared the steamer." The passengers were all below in their berths when the col ision between the ship and the steamer took place. The shock caused by it would, of course, rouse even those who might then be asleep. No doubt they would make a rush towards the deck : the interval, however, which elapsed between the shock and the sinking was so short, scarcely live minutes,' - that` very ~f elv.; if any,, cottid—Jaamjac eceded in reaching it. So that, in all prpbatitilr'Ebst of them perished in their berths. The mate, we under stand, had been married a few days only before the ship's sailing on her voyage : the Captain had given her a berth with her husband in the cabin. When; the fate of the ship became inevitable, he attempted to run aft to rescue his wife. Time failed him : the instinct of self-preservation be came strong : he sprang up the shrouds, and reached the steamer, as we have already stated, by jumping from the fore yard-arm. The Nottingham, which now lies on the east side of the Clarence Dock, was yesterday visited by thousands of curious spectators. Her starboard side is a complete wreck ; even the houses and the deck adjoining are shivered in fraginents. The dead animals, cows and sheep, covered the deck, acid presented a shocking sight, most of them having been disemboweled by the concussion which caused their death. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. CHRONICLE.—The Money Market presents little oppor tunity for remark. Business on the Stock Exchange has been very limited, almost, indeed, at a stand still to-day. The chief occupation of the jobbers has been in discussing the probable strength of the Ministry and their opponents on the debate of to-night on the Irish Registration Bill ; and it is possible enough that speculation has been checked by the nearly balanced state of parties which is now expected to be developed, and the results which may take place according as the division may terminate in favour of the one side or the other. The proceedings of the French Chambers do not now affect the hopes or fears of speculators with nearly so much intensity as during the earlier days of Guizot's accession to office, and the reported completion of the Treaty of Commerce between this country and France will not be relied on until actually signed and sealed. Its execution, however, is so eminently advanta geous to the commercial interests of France, that we cannot doubt the desire of the Statesmen now in power in that coun try to carry it into early effect. The foreio'n exchanges have lately assumed a more healthy aspect. The breaking up of the frost has also removed the obstructions which the ice on the canals and blocking up of the roads by snow created against the internal transport of goods. The spring season seems fairly to have begun, affording good grounds for expecting that oar exports will increase, and that an influx of the precious metals will follow, to strengthen the position of the Bank, and allow same relaxation of the cramped state of the currency. II ERALD.—The home - Stock Market was heavy to-day, !and the quotations gave way slightly. An impression begins !to prevail in the City that an early dissolution of Partament !may be expected, and the anticipation of such an event gene rally acts in the way of rather depressing prices and specula tion, as large money sales usually take place by holders intend ing to be candidates for seats for election expenses. It would ,hardly stem however likely that so strange and extreme a measure should be resolved upon at the commencement of a Session, with tee supplies unvoted, the budget unpreparo, or any one act of legislation promised and pointed out in the speech front the Throne accomplished as yet. It is noticed as a singular circumstance that, whereas at the Meeting of Proprietors of the South Western Railway Company on Saturday last., that concern was represented in a state so flou rishing as to justify the declaration of a dividend, not certainly specially brilliant, at the rate of 30s. per share, yet that a re solution eso was passed for calling up more capital by the issue of 42,000 scrip shares of 5/. each, making 210,009/. Would it not have been more business-like and straightforward to have said there can be no profits whilst expenditure exceeds income, and so to have carried what are called profits to the capital stock or working fund? SUN.—We have a statement before us of exports from Launceston is Van Dieman's Land duri g the third gear. ter of 1840, and which gives a total of 187,298/. For the nine months up to September last, the exports amounted to 750,0001. The imports of the quarter were 98,8681, and of the year 400,0001. ; and the dues collected at the port during the year were 36,5001. To-day we have bad scarcely any business doing in the fund, and prices have dropped about per cent. on Con. sols. For present transfer the quotation of Consols was 881 to 11 and for the next Account the continuation was about 1 per cent. Exchequer Bills were dull at 6s. to 4s. premium; East India Bonds ranged from 15s. to 10s. discount. Bank Stock was at 160. India Stock at 248. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. brought 97 to ; and the Reduced Three per Cents., 89k to 88i We have bad no foreign news to influence the value of the Peninsular or other fancy stocks to-day, all of which were heavy. The Active Spanish Bonds have been been marked 231 to 231, the New Five per Cent. Portu guese Stock, in the absence of any later intelligence from Lisbon, have been reduced to 31i for money, and to 311 for the 26th instant ; Mexican Stock, of 1837, was worth 27i to-day, being a slight decline ; Brazilian Bonds were etc aiy at 721, and French Three pe r Cents. at 76. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were marked 50 to 1, and Belgian Five per Cents. receded to 991 and to 981. For the Railway Shares there is still but a dull market, ' and although prices do not recede materially, they are not supported with any thing like firmness. The London and Birmingham have been marked 58i, without the dividend or the New shares ; South Western 181, Great Western 24k, the New 11, and the Greenwich Scrip 11 premium. Brighton were 71, and North Midland 25 discount. Pro vincial Bank cf Ireland New Shares were 7 premium. '. MAXWELL'S LIFE OF WELLINGTON. DEDICATED, BY COMMAND, TO THE QUEEN.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. We have been long and most assiduously labouring to win to our uncongenial northern shore that wayward and gay ' daughter of " the sweet south"—masquerade. The experi ment has proved almost uniformly vain. We have neither the quick facetious vein—nor the spontaneous dramatic spirit from which this singular popular emanation breaks forth in its native soil. It is the embodiment of the soul of satire amongst the children of Italy—it throws the pasquinade into the various forms of farce, and through that medium lashes the prevailing follies of the time. We cannot personify its jocund train, and for the most part, fall into most pitiable mockery. The ordi nary public masquerades in this our metropolis, have been dis gusting for their unmitigated grossness—their coarsely animal character—their utterly vulgar Saturnalian quality. The effort now made at this theatre to give them something of a better tone is creditable. It greatly mitigates their demerits. It emulates the Bals Masques of Paris, and may be consi dered to realise a very animated fancy ball, in which attention to something like order is preserved and well regulated, exten sive exhibition of dance, set off with a great variety of bright and picturesque costume, is secured. The arrangements for the display of last night were very complete in the house. The orchestra was brought to a position at the centre of the dress circle. A fresh crimson drugget was laid down on the boards of the whole area, and the theatre appeared to be bril liantly lit up. The dress circle was appropriated to the use of the masqueraders—the other parts of the house were reserved for spectators, and from the very commencement of the night's work they were occupied by a crowd which seemed very much to enjoy the scene upon which it looked down. The number of masqueraders was very great indeed, and they exhibited many very elegant, and some most striking specimens of costume. Amongst the more prominent supporters of the scene in its true spirit were a considerable number of French artistes, as we must call them, and they gave an animation to the dance, in which a more than ordinary Vestris character prevailed. The music was excellent, and well calculated to inspire the children of Terpsichore on the occasion. The attendance of dominoes was very full. The arrangements for refreshment and for supper were plenary and convenient, and the whole affair passed off with the most ample success. MUSICAL CHIT-CHAT. The Philharmonic Society had a general meeting last week to take into consideration a communication from Mr. Costa, at the desire of Laporte, that such of the performers as wished to be engaged at the Opera for the ensuing season must do so under an agreement to attend at all times when required, whether on the mornings appointed for the Philharmonic re hearsals, or otherwise. After much discussion it was resolved that matters should take their course.as heretofore; but nearly forty of the performers, who belonged to both orchestras, and who had already signed their agreement with the directors of the Philharmonic, were given to understand that they must snake their election which of the two orchestras they would give up, should Laporte insist on their attendance whenever he thought fit to call them. This was a most distressing situation to the performers, and they assembled at the Opera House on Friday, to meet Costa, who behaved extremely well throughout the unpleasant business,!and the result of the con fnence was that the whole of them were re-engaged by Costa for the present season ; and' we trust that no collision of re hearsals will take place if it can possibly be avoided. 7'he following artistes have been engaged for her Majesty's Theatre : —Grisi, Persiani, Pauline Garcia, Rubini, and La blache, but not Tamburini yet. Both Taglioni and Cerito have also been engaged; so that we may anticipate a most brilliant season, which will commence on the 6th or the 13th of March, at the last. TilE GERMAN Os ERAS.—Drury-lanc has been engaged by Mr. Bunn for four months, for the German Company, who will commence its performances about the middle of Starch.. The principal singers are to be of first-rate talent, with a band. of forty, and a chorus of sixty, which Herr Schumann will bring with him from Germany. The Director is to be the composer Marschner. Weber's splendid opera, Oberon, is to be brought out; and in June 11Ieyerbeer will come over to su perintend his celebrated opera of Les Huguenots, with Ger man words. The season will close on the 6th of July, when Eliason w 11l resume his Concerts d'Ete on a very extensive scale. A NCIF.NT CONCERTS.--T4C first performance of ancient music this season (being the sixty-fifth) will take place on the 10th of March, under the direction of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge : 'conductor of the evening, H. R. Bishop, Mus. Bac. Oxon. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—We are glad to hear that Balfe is progressing most satisfactorily with his arrangements for opening the Lyceum on the 6th of March. The subscription from those who feel it a duty to support native talent is daily increasing, and it will, we hope, at least keep pace with that for the German company, which, it is reported, amounts to about 6,0001. , THE NEWSPAPER PRESS AND THE POST OFFICE.—From one end of the country to the other the proprietors of newspapers are complaining that proper care is not taken by the Post-office authorities to ensure a punc tual delivery of their papers, though they are as fully en titled to protection as letters, than which they fuinish a much larger revenue. Complaints are constantly arising of the non-delivery of papers, as a e have ourselves expe rienced, and the only answer which can be given to the disapppointei and cheated subscribers is—" We regularly post our papers in due time and by the proper mails, and the fault must be in the Post-office." We have a right to demand a temeldy for this injurious negligence, and we hope our contemperariez will take the sub;ect vigorously up at their next annual meeting in London. —Bristol Journal. THE ITALIAN OPERA.--The numerous ru mours which have been afloat with regard to the supposed differences between Laporte and nearly every one of the " gifted Five," we arc enabled to extinguish by stating that Griti, Persian', Rubini, and Lablache, are under en. gagements to the lessee of this establishment, and will make their debut at the accustomed period, the Easter week. As regards Tamburini, negotiations are still F ending. However, we conceive that ero lon g , p robably ere many days have elapsed—for Laporte last evening left this country on his return for Paris—we shalt have an an nouncement of the adhesion of the Signor to the corps of her Majesty's Theatre. The season will commuesda such, at at least, are the presen t arrangements —on T whichy , the 9th of the ensuing month , with an opera, in orted by Madame Viardot (late Paul ine Garcia), supp Mario, as the tenor, will put forth her claims for asrenewalher cf the favours which w ere so lavishly bestowed upon when in this country before. In the ballet departmeneyes, t, Taglioni and Cerito w ill respectively glide before our sus tained by the beat talents the continent will afford,. Sunday Paper. COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH FRANCE. During the debate in the French Chambers on the cus. toms laws, the different articles which formed the subjects or discussion were considered from time to time in the French journals, which thus constantly brought forward the most im portant commercial relations of the country. The article re lating to the importation of foreign grains embraced two dis tinct questions—one, the question concerning oleaginous grains in general, the other that of linseed in particular. The customs laws of 1836 had assimilated grains introduced by the frontier to those brought by sea—an enactment which at the expense of navigation gave a great impulse to frontier imports. Hence it was, that the Administration brought in the proposal that oleaginous grains coming by land should bear a distinctive duty. The seeds of flax, however, it was observed, required to be considered quite in a different light. The great improvements in woollen and cotton stuffs from the application of machinery seemed to render it de sirable that linen also should be open to similar advantages. The interests concerned in the question of duties affecting linen were very numerous. To the growth of flax 160,000 hectares of land are devoted, while the western population gain a subsistence by baud spinning. The founders of es tablishments, in imitation of English manufactures, the weavers employing threads of every kind, whether pre duced by the hand or by machinery, the vine-growers and silk-manufacturers, who, if the duty on the seeds were raised, feared a retaliation on the part of the countries that furnish them,—all these were important interests which had to be consulted. As it was considered expedient to eneou yage French linen manufactures, _it was remarked that 'any elevation of the duty on the flax-seeds should be balanced as far as possible by an increase in the duty on linen webs, as otherwise one interest would be sacrificed to another. Such a plan, however, would, it was considered, be attended with great inconveniences; for the threads are indispensable to the manufactures, while the impor tation of foreign webs is but small; so that while the manutt turer paid a higher price for his thread, the difference it:cc, importation would not be sufficient to cause a cOrr,esT7_ot g increase in the price of the web. The relations with BB ,kn i e had also to be Considered with regard to this queesbiy a I reduc reduction of the duty on webs in 1836 was follo b w d roauce. and tion in Belgium on several articles of Prole hence it might be inferred that a contrary .mov,el:irn, Tt e s o i r d i e tl o ie f side of France would be followed by retallinat, Belgium, and the consequent loss of a ua r a b the French agri i;orncial ally. 'With respect to the complairensim d portation of linseed, the culturists against the progressive question was at last considered w hether in fact these complaints were well founded —whether, indeed,_ the foreign •grains had rea lly been substitut ed for those ofFrench produce, and this portion not yet been a nswered, while it is not to he forgotten it is said, has that the oil manufacttheures importations of the K of f foreign France havebeen greatly b en efited by gra ins. It will be remember:dtthedat. the proposed augmenta tion of the duty on flax was r jec Another important subject that was brought forward was the importation of foreign cattle. Here it was observed in th e journals, that in 1823 more than 41,000,000 kilogrammes of meat were consumed in Paris, and that by a population of 714,000, while in 1836 it was but 43,000,000 kilogrammes for 909,000; so that in the former case the consumption was tk, and in the latter 48, kilogrammes for the individual, the price rising according to the diminution of the quantity. The pro posed amendment of the duty, : on foreign cattle was less to diminish than to rectify the impost, merely substituting a duty levied by weight for one levied. per head. The amendment was, however, withdrawn, so that small and large cattle neces sarily pay the same duty. Some curious statistics have been brought forward with reference to this article, by which it ap pears that if 50 kilogrammes is the extreme allowance for the inhabitants of towns, it is only 24 for those of towns and country places taken together', which is much less than the rations allowed to soldiers and prisoners ; that for the former being 90, and that for the latter 70, kilogrammes per Tittles. J EVENING EDITION IRELAND. THE REGISTRATION BILL—The entire country is up and doing- all that hatred of Toryism and its measures can suggest to mark the sense of the people against Lord Stanley's Bill, while the true Reform Bill of Lord Morpeth daily enlists in its favour thousands assembled at public meetings to record their app!oval of its principles, KING'S COUNTY ELECTION.—The Tory candidate, Mr. Bernard, after a long secret canvass, has declared himself, an d the Orange journals are appealing most beseechingly to the " out-voters"—the fi c titi ous Rent-Chargers and the absentee parsons—to come to the rescue. But, the people are prepared, and they defy the local Orange confederacy as a ell as their allies out of the county. The nomination took place to-day, but, probably, the polling did not commence, as it is not denied that the chief object of the contest, on the part of the faction, is to delay the return, in order to prevent Mr. Armstrong from voting for Lord Morpeth's, o r a ga i ns t L or d S tan l ey ' s Bill.— Dublin Evening Post. awiti or AN ALDEILMAN.-The sudden exit of an Alder man under circumstances which leave no doubt that those who confided in him, in pecuniary transactions, have severely suf fered, has been the town-talk for some days past. We should not, 'pending proceedings for a fiat of bankruptcy, have at all alluded to the matter, but that we have seen exaggerated state ments of the amount of the losses sustained—one account re presenting it to he 100,0001. Our information leads us to be lieve that the " liabilities" are not one-fourth of that sum ; but, certainly, considering that the' defaulting party was not in any regular branch - of commerce, oven that would be enor mous. '1 he principal sufferers are persons belongiirg to the' party in the corporation, of which the Alderman has been so stirring and influential a member. The question whether the Alderman's case comes within the Bankruptcy Act—whether he comes under the designation of " buyer and seller," according t o the terms of the law, is still undecided ; but the Court is hourly expected to pronounce its judgment.—Mercantile vcrtiscr. FRANCE. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. In the Courrier Francais %c find the following important an nouncement : The disarmament has commenced ; Marshal Soult has made a communication to the Commission, the result of which is that the budget of 1842 is to be reduced 23,000,000 f. ' The Minister announces that the effective force, such as it had been announced at first, will be reduced by 60,000 men. He has not yet given any explanation with respect to this tardy reso lution. Marshal Soult must think' that projects of law may be corrected like speeches for the Moniteur. ° The communication of Marshal South, seems tolhave been'received by the Commission with the greatest surprise, which the public will doubtless share.

In the evening we were all on deck, when a sudden blast knocked us all down ; and in this pelt me'l, in which legs were broken and arms put out of joint, the cauldron, in which the crew's soup was boiling, was overthrown, pouring its contents out upon the deck, and scalding all who had not had time or strength to get up. The wind continued • increasing;_ a great quantity of sales were carried away; the • great yard-arm was broken into bits ; the wizen-mast cracked ; an immense sea carried away two of the boats and broke two others, carrying away at the same time fifty-six packets of grape shot and one of the gum. The weather continued in this state for six days. The vessel was scarcely able to keep the sea, and we scudded under bare poles until we came to Cagliari, where we found the Jena and the Triton, both in worse condition than the Neptune." - Thtrc is no additional news whatever is the French Journals of Sunday.

EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIMENT An experiment was tiled on Saturday aftercoan, of one cf the inventions to slide's we alluded la‘t autumn, which a friend on whom we have reliance had an opportunity of witnessing. The trial took place in the grounds of Mr. Boyd, in the county of Essex, a few miles from town, in the presence of Sir Robert Peel , Sir Geo r g e Murray, Sir Henry Harding, Sir Francis Burdett, Lard Ingestrie. Colonel Gurwood, Captain Britten, Captain Webster, and some other gentlemen, who all appeared vtry much as tonished at what they saw. By the kindness of the in ventor our informant occupied a position that enabled bim to command a view of all that took place. A bort 23 feet long and 7 broad was placed in a large sheet of water, the boat had been the day before fillet is with solid timber, four-and-a-half feet in depth, crossed in every direction, and clamped together with eight. inch spike nails. This filing in was made under the inspection of Captain Britten, who stated the fact to the distinguished gentlemen we have mentioned, and also that the inventor never went near the workmen employed, that no suspicion might be entertained of any combustible materials being lodged in the hold of the vessel. Several cf the gentlemen were on Saturday rowed in a punt to the vessel, and examined for themselves, so that every doubt might bo removed as to the cause of destrue den beier. external, and not from the springing of any mine. When the different parties had taken up their po sitions, on a signal from the inventor, the beat was set in motion, and struck just abaft her starboard bow, and in stantaneously scattered into a thousand fragment.. At the moment of collision the water parted, and presented to the eye of our informant the appearance of a huge bowl, while upon its troubled surface he noticed the corrusca tien precisely resembling forked lightning. A column of water was lifted up in the air irks a huge fountain, from which were projected upwards for many hundred feet the shattered fragments of the vessel, which fell many of them several hundred yards' distance in the adjacent fields. Our informant exan fined many pieces, the huge nails snapped like carrots; the mast looked like h a a t a rc h e e ri w v t n_ and found by lightning and never before,h hhe has uessed so sudden and complete a destruction, g t sc o al g e.
