STATIONERY-OFFICE, JANUARY '26, 1841. WANTED for HER MAJESTY'S STA TIONERY.OFFICE, 575,000 ENVELOPES, to be made according to Patterns to be seen at the Office. Tenders will be received till Twelve e'Clock of Saturday, the 6th of February. TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF EAST SURREY. G ENTLEM rtic AVING been called upon by a numerous and respectable body of the Electors to become a Can didate for the Eastern Division of the County of Surrey, I accept the invitation under a deep sense of the arduous and responsible duties of a representative of the people. My votes in Parliament are already recorded in favour of the Ballot and •f the Grant for the Education of the People, carried into effect by her Majesty's Government. Although the property I possess is almost exclusively in Land, I warmly advocate a Total Repeal of the Corn-laws, and believe that it would not only confer the greatest benefit on the Trading and Commercial Classes of the United Kingdom, but that it would be scarcely less advantageous to the Agricultural Interest in general. I am devotedly attached to our established Constitution in Church and State, while I cheerfully concede to all who differ from me in religious opinion the same liberty of conscience that I claim for myself. I consider an alteration of the present system of Church rates indispensible, and 1 trust that a measure will be intro duced during the approaching Session to place the Ecclesiastical Courts on such an improved footing, as will prevent a repetition of the late vexatious proceedings. In the event of my having the honour to be chosen one of your Representatives in Parliament, you may confidently rely an the faithful discharge of my duty, and that I will endeavour to promote, by every means in my power, both your local in terests, and the welfare of the Nation at large. I am, Gentlemen, your faithful and obedient Servaat, THOMAS ALCOCK. Kingswood Warren, 26th January, 1841.

CAUTION TO PERSONS NEGLECT ING THEIR TEETH AND GUMS. RETRACT FROM MONS. LE DRAYS " TREATISE ON LOSS OF TEETH. " Among the various disorders of the Mouth, there is none more destructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the Gums causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and pro duces the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A soft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually waste away, and the Teeth then become loose, and drop out whole from their sockets, and it is well known that he loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following observations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accumn tion are con.iidered, it would appear impossible that any per suasion could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great a nuisance even on their own account : or if they are too de-. based to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ ing a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the senses of others, who possess more delicacy and propriety of feeling than themselves. Yet, so it is; and the sight and- the smell are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some people, who seem to obtrude their faces the closer in proportion to the disgust which they occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p. 199. Could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth and gums, or for a moment catch the odour of their own breath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To professional men, shop-keepers, and tradesmen generally, who have much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world, a good state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance ! Besides, is sot an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out of twenty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth and gums, very much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony ? And how often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness of the imarriage state most grievously interupted by the same cause 7 The inconveniencies attending the Loss of Teeth are too well known to require comment ; but to those who have not ex perienced the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray is desirous of showing some of the difficulties more or less en dured by every individual without them. When the Teeth are lost, it is impossible to make use of solid food ; and if the stomach is then loaded with pieces without being masticated, the patient is exposed to the most distressing in.tigestions, the stomach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak in proportion as it no longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth Aire gone, a great vacuum is left in the mouth, which occasions every muscle in the face to be distorted, and the whole features are completely drawn from their original position. To insist on the importance of the teeth, whether in regard to the functions of digestion and articulation, to which they aro so essential, or to personal appearance, in which they are so much concerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not obvious that there are many persons who never give themselves the trouble to think upon the subject ; who seem scarcely aware that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and cul pable negligence renders tha fact too apparent to their friends And associates. Mastitication is the first process of digestion, and unless it be duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on properly. So essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it is sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner vous debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rough and tinged of a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips their vermillion hue, and, in a word, it is no uncommon thing for the whole body to receive such a shock as to cause re laxation of the whole system, which produces an irritable temper, quite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby we become an annoyance to our friends, and a burthen to ourselves. But I need not dwell upon the num berless concomitant evils which may thus owe their origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to know that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be found to be many years in advance of any system now in Eu rope, and that artificial teeth ;13 e brought to such perfection, at the Establishment, No. 60, Newman-street, Oxford-street, as to' perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to the natural teeth, awl may be used with every comfort. They are so arranged as to restore the face to its former youthful cast, correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doing away with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires. As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever stair. Pre-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of om plexion, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can render that lady beautiful, who when she opens her lips (theiigh they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or discoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and a sallow complexion are embellished, and rendered agreeable by a good set of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass unnoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even.

Sir,—l hive been a sufferer for seven years, both eves being so swollen as to cause blindness. Among the many Medical Gentlemen who attended me was the famous oculist, Dr. Alexander ; indeed, 1 do believe my case was beyond all their skill.; " Physic, Bleeding, Blistering, with a seton, of all kinds of Lotions, but no relief," till chancing one day, being led by your house in 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, my guide inquired if I had tried your Eye-Snuff, on which I purchased a Is. 3d. Canister, opened it in the shop—took some, and was greatly relieved before I reached my home. I can with truth assert, and make oath if required to do so, that it was your Eve- Snuff cured me.

Maitland, Esq. sistant Resident This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only re quires, when an Insurance is for the whole period of life one half of the very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the date of the Policy, the ether half may remain, subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent, annually, to be deducted at death, or may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision far his family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Coinpanies. Thus a man of 2.5 years old may, by an annual payment of 281. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards by paying yearly the full premium of 571. 12s. 6d., se cure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., subject only to the deduction of 1441. Is. 3d., with interest, being the amount of premium unpaid. This Company holds out, in various other respects, great inducements to the public. When such facilities are afforded, it is clearly a moral duty-in every parent who is not. possessed of a fortune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure his life for a sum which may yield a comfortable provision for his family. RATES OF PREMIUM. Age. Without Profits. With Profits. 25 30 40 50 60 Older agei may be insured, and the half credit for five years is found particularly convenient on such insurances.

Solomons, 39, Albemarle.street, Piccadilly, opposite the York llotel, and 76, King William-street, Bank of England.—" Gentlemen,—l have no hesitation in replying to your inquiry as to the results obtained by the use of your improved spectacles; being in the constant habit of reading end writing for many hours together by lamp-light, it is but justice to say, that your newly.invented spectacle lenses have afforded me the greatest comfort. Whensl employed the ordinary pebbles, I never failed to experience in the morning a great irritation in the eyes. Since I have used your admirable glasses I suffer from no inconvenience of the kind. I shall ever feel grateful to my good friend, Dr. Blundell, for having drawn my attention to the subject. —Believe me to be your's, very respectfully, T. J. PernottEw, 8, Savillc.row, Jan. 4, 1839."—" M. G. Sir Howard Elphinstone begs leave to say that the Spectacles he has now had some time in use, have fully redeemed the assurance of the Messrs. S. and B. Solo. mons as to their excellence, and having found so much comfort and advantage from their use, far preferable to every other kind of Glasses which he has been in the constant habit of making use of for a great number of years.—l 3, Norfolk.strcet, Park-lane, the 6th of November, 1840."

Solomons' Operative Voice Con. ductor, when fixed into the cavity of the ear, the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness.—No connexion with persons of the same name. THE THAMES TUNNEL.—The shaft on the Wapping shore, in which a footway descent is to be made into the Thames Tunnel, is proceeding very rapidly, and as it is built above pound, presents a very commanding appearance, and will be gradually sunk. The works be- low have been for some time suspended, the tunnel having been completed to within the limits of the Company's wharf on the Middlesex shore, far beyond the low water mark. When the shaft is completed on the north side the excavations wil4 be resumed : and, as there is new no fear of another irruption, the remaining portion of the tunnel can be completed in a few weeks. It is confidently ex pected that the tunnel will be opened for foot-passengers on or before next July. The arches of the tunnel aro in a sound state, and bear evidence of the care taken in the execution of this great and expensive undertaking.

Sheriff Gums informed the Court that her Majesty would receive the Address of ;the Corporation on the birth of the Princess Royal on Wednesday next, at two o'clock, at Buckingham Palace, and that Prince Albert would receive their Address immediately afterwards, and also that the Duchess of Kent would receive their Address after the presentation of the Addresses to the Queen and Prince Albert.—( Hear, bear.) REGULATIONS OF ELECTIONS IN Tim CITY. Mr. ANDEItTON gave notice of a motion, That it he referred to a Committee to take into consideration the propriety and necessity of presenting a petition to Par liament for an Act to amend the 11th of George the First, cap. 18, entituled an Act for regulating elections within the City of London, and for preserving the peace, good order, and government of the said City, and that the said Committee do report their opinions to this Court. Upon the appointment of inembas to serve upcn Committees, Mr. WELLS objected to be put upon any Committee. He was ashamed of the acts of Committees and repu diated them altogether. Deputy 13LACcETT said that as the gentleman ex pressed and entertained so bad an opinion of Commit tees it was but fair that he should witness the conduct of those who constituted them, that he should have a complete insight into their workings. Of the labours of the Committees, the labours of Comnron Councilmen principally consisted, and he trusted that when Mr. Wells had experience in these Committees the opinion he so strongly expressed would be altered.—(Hear.) Mr. WELLS—If you elect me I shall not serve. Whatever information I may require I can get from the officers of the Corporation. Mr. ANDERTON said that Mr. Wells had expressed his determination to ferret out the rats of the Corpora tion, and surely he could not refuse to avail himself of the opportunity of examining and inquiring which was thus open to him. Mr. AsituasT thought that Mr. Wells ought to be excused. It was the duty of the Members of that Court to put themselves in possession of every necessary information, and he who refused to avail himself of the opportunity was not fit to sit upon Committees. Mr. Tar Lott thought it would be advisable to ap point Mr. Wells to Committees, and as other Members were appointed, let him take the responsibility of blind folding himself.—(Hear.) 111 r. ASHURST.—The subject is not worth discussion. I withdraw my objection. Mr. Wells was then appointed. JEWS TO HOLD CORPORATE OFFICES. Mr. ASHURST gave novice that he should move for a petition to Parliament to make such alterations in the form of the declaration contained i a the :!)d George the 4th, and the Ist and 2d of Victoria, as would enable Jews to hold Corporate offices.—(llcar.) ROYAL ASYLUM, PATRONISED BY THE QUEEN, FOR DESTITUTE FEMALES. The Chairman of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Com mittee brought up the following interesting report on the reference to examine the alkgations contained is the petition of the Committee of the Royal Asylum for the reception of Destitute Females, praying for pecuniary assistance :—" We have proceeded in the con sideration of the petition and have been attended by Mrs. Pirie, Mrs. Pearson, Miss Fry, Miss Shepherd, Mrs. Fry, and Mr. Charles Pearson, a deputation with Mr. Cooper, the honorary secretary, whom we several!) , heard, and it appearing that the Institution was esta blished in 1822, for the reception and refei mation of young females who stand exposed to the fearful consequences of vie,: and ignorance, and par ticularly those who have been convicted at the Central Criminal Court, and imprisoned for first offences, for those discharged from service for dishonesty, but not prosecuted, as well as fur the ignorant and destitute, who, although not guilty, are incapable of obtaining their livelihood. The only property of the Institution is the asylum at Manor-house, Chelsea, which is held on leiise for twenty-one years, at the low rent of 751. per annum, upon which a considerable sum has been expended in fitting it up for the purposes of the Institu tion. The utmost economy seems to be adopted in the establishment, and most of the officers perform their duties gratuitously. The expense of carrying on the Society in 1839 amounted to 1,590/. 2s. 3d., including about 500/. expended in repairs of the building, &e., and the income arising front gifts, subscriptions, and the sums received for the work done by the inmates amounted to about 1,325/., the latter item reaching nearly 300/., leaving a deficit of `6A 2m. 3d. The Committee find that the building ut Chelsea, which has been thoroughly repaired and conveniently adapted to its present uses, is arranged to contain about fifty in mates, and might, if the funds would permit, be en larged to accommodate double the number ; but a debt has already been contracted for the necessary repairs. It also appears that the Committee of the Sheriffs' fund have entered into an arrangement by which twenty female prisoners from the Central Criminal Court are to be constantly maintained and taught in ' the asylum, for which :1001. per annum is to be paid out of the Sheriffs' fund toward' the expenses of the establishment. The Committee having attentively considered the several circv!m stances connected with the Institution, and the im portance of sending timely assistance to a So ciety, having for its object such benevolent iutentions, are unanimously of opinion that the sum of 210/. be granted in aid of its funds." Mr. BOLT seconded the grant. Mr. WELLS objected to the grant. He did not see how the disposal of the money in such a way could benefit his fellow-citizens ; and be thought the Magda len quite sufficient for the purposes described. No doubt he Society, if they obtained this grant, would come in regularly for 800 guineas a year upon the Cor poration. Mr. LOTT supported the grant, and considered it highly honourable to the Corporation to originate as it did an institution of the kind. Mr. LAWRENCE thought that the Society was a hobby of the very charitable and excellent ladies who were labouring to bring it to perfection, and that seve ral public institutions had much stronger claims . Mr. PEWTRESS said that he was no enemy to im provements or charitable institutions, but he wished to call the attention of the Court to the principle upon which the Royal Asylum was established, and which was radically bad. It was stated that the house was open to those who were discharged from prisons, who are convicted of crimes. Now he wished to know whether criminals were to be treated in a way su perior to that in which the guiltless were treated ? Ho looked upon such an institution as an imputation upon the law. The law provided for destitute per sons such as the report alluded, and the proper asylums for them were the union-houses. If these union•houses were to shelter the innocent poor, surely criminals ought not to be taken from the prisons to a more comfortable place of refuge. He meant to say that there was a legal receptacle for all such people, and that they ought not to be thus mad*, a species of tax upon the citizens. There wa.t another thing in societies of this sort to which he objected. These criminals were kept a limited time in the asylum, and again introduced to virtuous society. Now, if they happened not to be reclaimed, they would inevitably corrupt the virtuous and innocent. Mr. It, L. JONES said, that Mr. Pewtrcsz had used an odd argument in favour of his position against the grant, in stating that the union-houses v.O .e open to receive the unfortunate females discharged from prison after having been confined for cri minal cff,:nces. So that he would send these guilty persons straight from gaol into the union•houses, as if the poor had not enough to contend with there without being subjected t o contamination from the inmates ()r a --- was surely prison. (Loud cries of " Hear, he ar .") I t m ore judicious and m ore humane to separate e rate objects of the Society's compass i on from th s or v were compelled from nece ss it y to seek the ale native of the union-houses ; and if they are to be! separated, where arc they to go if not succoured by the benero- EITRINTI14(4_1101TION, lc nee of those who thus stood forward to save them iroiti irretrievable ruin.--(Cheers.) Mr. CHRISTIE said that he was in the Committee when the grant was proposed, and the question there was whether the sum recommended should not be 5001. —(Hear, bear.) For the sake of having unanimity in the Court, the smaller sum was agreed to. Mr. HILL thought the class of charities to which the Society belonged was one which L ad peculiar claims upon the heart of the Corporation. The unfortunate female the Charity contemplated must have a refuge some where, and if the poor were to be put into workhouses, injustice let them be kept at a distance from those who , added crime to poverty.—(Cheers.) Alderman THOMAS Wool) never expected that there would be any hesitation as to the grunt. The Institu tion was loudly called for by the state of the gacis and the state of the public morals, and it was one to the at sistance of which the Sheriffs gave all their energies, ar.d the great object of which was to reclaim effectually. The grant of 210/. was then agreed to 1,7 a i_o - s; majority. CITY IMPROVEMENTS. it a a; some time ago reported to the Coal, Corn i Ptl , l Finance Committee, to consider whether it would be ii'd visable to vote th ‘ sum of 2,0001. to the Commissioners' of Sewers to make improvements, by widening New gate-street and Fetter-lane, and the Report was brought up, negativing the propriety of voting the sum. It wis moved and seconded that the sum should be granted for the object described. A very long discussion took place, in which the v ry laudable zeal of the Inspector, for improvements of great use and ornament, mini tested itself. Mr. LAWRENCE objected to this new responsibility of the Commissioners, who never were willing to use it for any measures they thought proper to adopt . Mr. LOTT said that so long as the Court turned a deaf car to the proposal of widening Wating-street, the great avenue to the Docks, the Custom-house, and all the large institutions at the east end of the town—so long as they disregarded the calamitous history of acci dents, in that most dangerous thoroughfare—so long would he object to any other improvement.—(Cheers.) If the Corporation would take that into consideration, there was no improvement that he would not advocate. Mr. HALL had every confidence in the Conunis sioners of Sewers.—(Cheers.) And the Court could not do better than vote the money to them, and leave it to them to exercise their judgment, which had been frequently put to the test before to the advantage of their fellow-citizens. The plan to be adopted would be to set hack the houses in the narrowest parts of the two thoroughfares mentioned, and lie hoped to see Watlinrr-street widened with all possible expedition also.—(Cheers.) Mr. R.. L. JONES did not like to go blindfolded and without any definite plan to the work of improvement. The City expended 11,5001. in improvements, and he wished, as he had always worked with a defined plan, not to see any deviation as to that principle. He could not but call the attention of the Court, while on such a subject, to the disgraceful clump of houses which stood bet,vecn the Post-office and the glorious building of St. Paul's.—(Cheers.) If the Court would show a deter mination to use their best efforts to clear away the stupid and contemptible obstructions to the full view of that majestic national monument, and go to Parliament and the Goveinment to forward their object, their ap \ plication would be irresistible.--(Loud cheers.) Mr. WELLs was most decidedly in favour of the ad mirable and humane project of widening Fetter-lane, a locality which he knew to he so dangerous that a child could scarcely leave the door of one of the houses without 1 running the haz ird of being crushed to death.—(Hear.) Mr. EA GLETON said that if the Court granted the sum, it would be taken as an earnest of their good in tentions by the public.— (Hear, hear.) Sir M. WOOD said that he hoped to have pleasing in telligence to communicate shortly to the Court on the subject of the projected improvements, by removing the impediments between St. Paul's and the Post-office. lie had been for some time seeking a conference with the Government, particularly with the Post-office de partment, on the question of throwing open an exten sive space at the west end of Cheapside, and he had reason to expect that his object would he acceded to. He thought it would be eligible to keep the 2,000/, al luded to on the present occasion, to add to the sum which they would be ready to grant on that occa sion, whh the assistance of Parliament. Mr. PEACOCK said it had been intimated that the Commissioners of Sewers could tax the citizens to. the r extent of eighteempc nee in the pound to defray the .ex ( penses of the proposed improvements. Now he would not consent to any tax upon the citizens greater than they already paid.—(Hear, hear.) He would rather take the cash out of the City Chamber to a much larger extent, and lower those rates.—(Hear, hear.) ' The grant of 2,000/. was then voted to the Commis , sioners of Sewers for the object stated.—Adjourned. THE SQUADRON IN CHINA. Various surmises have been afiant why Admiral El . 1 ot, apparently, so hastily quitted the Gulf of Pe-the-li and the Yellow :3ea, at the very first promise of good behaviour on the part of the Chinese Government. (her own fear was that his troops, principally sergqs, unused to ship living, and perhaps repugnant (from re ligious scruples) to such food as could be afforded by a ship, were not in a state for effective operations, and that therefore, wisely concealing his weakness, he had determined to retecat while he could with credit, and wait for a favourable opportunity of attacking the capi tql, or of carry i ng on . his operations against Ningpo and Nankin, whi c h places, his troops were effective, he may get possession of at Any time of the year ; but we are told, by an anonym,ms writer, of a physical rea son why the expedition could not remain in the upper part of the Yellos Sea, with which t.'c were not before acquainted. But there is one very impor'ant eircucistance to be considered in judging of the A k lmiral's pro.'lpt depar ture from the Gulf of Pe-the-li, which is entirely over looked by, as it was perhaps unkoiwn to, those a - ho so hastily condemn that proceeding-4 mean the phys:r.al obstacle to his remaining there much longer—the hazard to the ships of a protracted stay, owing to the singular phenomenon which is peeulisT to that bay, of the waters leaving it, on a change of ‘N ; L iii to the north east, so shallow that even vessels of smllf draught would be aground there. When the wind is fr o,w the south west there is plenty of water : but let thi wind chop round to the northeast, and there I.\ feet where there were before fathoms. Thebe InkySy ph , Captain Wallace, in the year 1834 (1 think), got . agr ound owing to this peculiarity, and would have been . l o st but for a change of wind. Now at the date of the 1a st ac count;; from China the north-east monsoon was to set in, and the ships could not safely remain in' the (gulf of Pe-che-li."—Hampshire Tar.szraple. obout LAW INTELLIGENCE.

A ball of about four and a half feet in diameter, projecting from a pole placed in the west side of the great church steeple, about 26 feet from the steeple, and about 125 feet above the level of the sea, indicate that there is still floating ice in the Wooer, the navigation in the same must only be undertaken with the greatest circumspec tion ; still, however, w i t h a good wind, and otherwise un. der favourable circumstances, it may be possible to reach Bremerhaven or Fedderwarden, if, for the first case, the wind blows briskly from the East to the N.E., and for the latter, between the N. W. and W. S.W. oil. Two balls, on the contrary, hanging out perpendi calarly one under the other, with an interval of six feet be twocil t h em , intimating that the Weser is considerably blocked up by floating ice, the beacon ships have left their stations, Bremerhaven will not be attainable, and, therefore, navigation down the Weser must not be at tempted.
