It extirpates all tartar ous adhesions to the teeth, and ensures a pearl-like whiteness to the enamelled surface. Its anti-septic and anti-scorbutic properties exercise a highly beneficial and salutary influence: they arrest the further progress of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy action of the Gums, and cause them to assume the brightness and colour indi cative of perfect soundness ; while, by confirming their adhesion to the Teeth, they give unlimited enjoyment and fresh zest to appetite, by perpetuating effective and complete mastication. The Proprietors of this I>entiiriee pledge themselves that its effi cacy in preserving and embellishing the TEETH, far surpasses any eking of the kind ever yet offered to the public, and has, in conse quence, obtained the patronage of Royalty and the Aristocracy throughout Europe.—Price 2s.

(afore Mr. WITHAM and a Bench of Magistrates.) This morning the sessions were held at the Guild hall, Westminster. As usual, however, there was no . business fbr the jury, of whom 72 were in due course in attendanct , upon their summons. The grand jury having been sworn, Mr. WanAm addressed them and said, that they had been again brought from their homes, no doubt at great personal and pecuniary inconvenience, to take their part in the ‘ 4 farce" which, under a clause in the Act of Parliament, it was compulsory to per.' form one day in every sessions, at a large and useless expense to the county. But so long as the clause was permitted to exist, so long would the house holders of the city and liberties of Westminster be called upon to assist in the "farce." There being no business for them to discharge, all he had to do was, on behalf of the county, to thank them for their at tendance, and to say that they were at liberty to go home again.—(Laughter.) THE ARGYLL-ROOMS. Mr. Palter said he was instructed on . behalf of the defendants, against whom bills of indictment had been found by the grand jury on Wednesday last, Clerkenwell, for keeping open the Argyll-rooms ilk Great Windmill-street, Haymarket. As the Cant was aware, the same defendants were under 'more than one indictment in respect of these rooms tare and it could not but be a source of regret that t. Crorin—supposing indeed that the Crown could in any way bo concerned in such proceedings—had not been represented by some more respectable person than a common informer, whose real motive must of necessity be of a questionable character. The appli cation he had now to make was, seeing that the de fendants were already , under bail to appear to the previous indictments, in which they were charged with the same offence, alleged to have been committed at• the same place— some of which indictments were pending in the Court of Queen's Bench and some in the Central Criminal Court—that they should not be compelled to put in any further bail. These new indictments would be removed at once into the Central Criminal Court, where there was already a batch of others to which they were under hail to appear. That being so, he should submit that there was no ground for calling upon the defendants to put in additional bail. If they were ordered to do so, it was quite clear they would he putting in two sets of bail for one charge. Mr. Werneet said that the Assistant-Jll4e had directed that the warrant should issue if bail were not put in to-day, and, therefore, he could not in terfere. The defendants, with the exception of Emile Lau rent, who was absent from illness, then entered into their own recognizances of 2001. each. Laurent was ordered to put in bail on Monday. the I POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Eliza Driscoll, a woman who spoke with a strong Cork brogue, was brought before Sir Peter Laurie, charged with having committed acts of imposture. Mr. S. Cooper Christmas, of Walthamstow, ware houseman, said—Oa the 12th instant the prisoner came to me at my warehouse, No. 4, Wood-street, Cheap side, and told me she resided at Walthatnstow, near the Cock Inn ; that she had come up to Spital fields-market with her cart; that something was the matter with the cart, and that the loan of five shillings would oblige her, that she might get away from the market. She told me her name was Catherine Smith, and I let her have the five shillings. I made some inquiry afterwards, which led to the belief that she was an impostor. On 'Saturday last I happened to get into a railway train, and she sat next to me; but when I spoke to her upon the subject she denied all knowledge of the circumstance. She then gave the name of Eliza Cullyer. I have no doubt as to her identity. Mr. Fry, a magistrate of the county of Essex, said —The prisoner is well known to me and my brother magistrates. Of all the impostors I have ever seen she is certainly beyond all comparison the most ac complished. Several families, and particularly the ladies, who are most likely to be imposed upon, have been her victims for the last six or seven years. She has one son in a London prison, and another son con fined for felony elsewhere; and she is no duubt bring ing up her family to the practices by which she has been supporting herself. I shall give one instance of her tact and skill as a professional. She called upon a lady at Stratford of the name of Soams, and pathe tically represented that she had a child lying dead, and that she was without the means of laying it in the ground. She sought assistance to defray the funeral charges, and the lady expressed her willingness to give the aid required, but said that before she would render it she must ascertain the truth of the state ment. The prisoner thereupon conducted her home, and pointed to the bed, on which there appeared to be a corpse with a sheet over it. The evidence was quited satisfactory, and the lady con tributed half a sovereign for the charitable purpose and retired. Upon leaving the house, however, it occurred to her that she might have been imposed upon, and she listened for a short time under the window. She was not long in that situation when she heard a voice cry out in a querulous tone, Mother, how long am I to remain dead ?" The prisoner, who had attempted frequently to in terrupt Mr. Fry, and declared that he and the other E ss ex reagistrates were the greatest liars to be found round the metropolis, said , " I can't s t an d this any longer; I can't contain myself at all. The corpse story has been regealarly got up amongst them. There is not a word of truth in it." Sir PETER Leuare—You shall have sufficient opportunities of making your defence, and proving that the corpse was a genuine one.—(A laugh.) J. w. Manning (5 K Metropolitan police-sergeant) sa id—l know the prisoner. She did not reside at Walthamstow on the 12th inst. Four or five days ago I received a letter from the gentleman who was first questioned, stating that a woman, who, from the description given I knew to be the prisoner, had de frauded him. Her real name is Eliza Driscoll. The gentleman said he would come over to me in a day or two, and last evening he came accordingly, and I took him to IVellsestreet, Stratford, a notorious place for impostors, and called her out of her lodg ings. He at once identified her as the impostor. She said to me that she had not been in London for three weeks, and I took her to the station. Her talent as an impostor is undoubted. The prisoner—Oh, then, God kowns the story your Worship heard about the corpse is all untrue. I'll tell you how it was. I had a child that was taken ill on a Saturdey, and died on the Monday; and a lady came and said she wished to see an Irish p e r son laid out. I consented, and she saw my child lying dead in the Irish fashion ; and certainly the child had a complexion just as if it was alive, but it was dead enough, sure enough. w e , however, kept the b o dy a week before we buried it. That was the thing that led to the lies the 'Essex magistrates have been spread ing about against me. Sir PETER LAURIE—How long is it since this hap pened ? The prisoner—About three years ag o , Sir PETEL LAURIE (to Mr. Fry)—llow long is it since the lady you spealz. of heard the remonstrance of the speaking corpse ? Mr. Fry—About fourteen or sixteen months ago.—(Laughter.) Sir PETER LAURIE—Then it appears that there were two transactions of the kind. The prisoner— Not at all. Mr. Fry speaks of the report which was spread about in consequence of what happened three years ago. I have been the mother of thirteen chil dren, and I never brought them up to be impostors either dead or alive,—(Laughter.) The police-sergeant said it was quite impossible to find any impostor in England so resolute in carrying on the fraudulent trade. Mr. Fry—lt would appear that every word she utters is spoken with a view of deceiving. The prisoner—l admit that I got the five shillings from the gentleman that charged me; but if it was not for you, Mr. Fry, and other magistrates of the county, I need not be in this situation at present. You have my property amongst you, as you well know.—(A laugh.) lam charged, too, with having gone under a false name, although I only changed my marriage name into my maiden name. That's like all the rest, a lie. The police-sergeant said the prisoner bad been con victed as an impostor several times. Sir PETER LAURIE—I can see that she is a mis tress of the art, and shall give her an opportunity of deciding between a city and a county gaol for the term of three months. The prisoner—l confess I received the money, and I am willing to suffer punishment for that offence ; but I never was spoken to by a corpse in all my life. Committed. Mr. G. V. Robinson, clerk and :gent to :Messrs. Willmer and Smith, of No. 4, Thanet-place, Temple bar, appeared before Sir Peter Laurie under the re markable circumstances stated below. +l_ _~ THE COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL. APRIL 26.—=-The arrivals of grain and flour since Tuesday are unimportant, blit the export of Indian corn, in the three days, is 12,24 S quarters There was a good attendance of millers and dealers at our corn exchange this morning. '1 he lower qualities of wheat brought I d per bushel over Tuesday's prices, and there was a setter sale than of late for other sorts at full prices. There was no improvement, however, in either the price or sale of flour. Oats and oatmeal fully supported late rates. Barley, beans, and peas were without change. Indian corn was in good request, at an advance of fully 6ti per quarter en Tuesday's rates; the price of fine American new yellow corn was established at 28s 6d per 480 lbs. NEWBURT, APRIL 25.—Our supply of wheat is moderate, but fully equal to the demand. The continued dull state of the flour markets, both east and west, together with a decline of is 8d per sack in the home market, occasion a dull lifeless trade, at barely the rates obtainable last week. Barley, short supply, with but little demand at unaltered rates. Beans, oats, and peas, short supply, but the demand is extremely slack at rather ieduccd rates. WAKEFIELD, APRIL 26.—We have a limited arrival of wheat, only a small proportion of which is fresh thrashed English; this . description makes is advance, whilst foreign and granaried parcels are not taken very freely at last week's prices. Barley meets a good inquiry at improving prices. Oats are id per stone, and shelling is per load higher. Beans are rather dearer. New. OM WHEAT, per qr. 601bs per bushel:- s. s. s. s. Suffolk.

EXETER, APRIL 26.—Cattle Market—The supply was not so large as last week, but the demand was more brisk.

Barley must be quoted at 3s for malting samples, and in some instances a trifling advance on this figure was given. Oats, Is lldto2s 2d per bushel.

The letter was da'ed William-street, New York, April 2, 1850, and represented that the holder of a ticket might be en titled to 100,000 dollars, less 15 per . cent., and other great pecuniary advantages. The paragraph which led to the application to Mr. Robinson was as follows , aa'T. " Parsons des .4ng to invest can remit Bank of Eng land notes, or where the amount is less than. 5/., or an uneven sum, may deposit it with Mess:3. Willmer and Smith, Thanet-place, Temple-bar, London, or 32, Church street, Liverpool, sending me a certificate of deposit with their order, or in bills on the London or Liverpool Bank, the amount to be calculated at the rate of four and three:parter dollars to the sovereign." This letter was signed " William Russell, agent, ' 126„William-street." I called at Messrs. Willmer • and Smith's, and -saw Mr. Robinson, who represented them. I complained that I had to pay a shilling fora communication which ought not to have been sent to Me at all, and I stated that I should publicly state the facts to Sir Peter Laurte, in order that the En glish public might be put completely upon thelir guard as to the experiment of embarking in such specula tions. Mr. Robinson assured me that he knew nothing of the party calling himself W. 'Ruud]. Sir PETER LAURIE.-As has been always my cus tbm, I sent to Mr. Robinson notice of Mr. Snawing's intention to appear at the Mansion-house on the sub ject, and I received a request from Mr. Robinson, that he might be allowed time to communicate with .his principals respecting it. I am glad ttafind that both gentlemen have attended punctually. Mr. Robinson said, I am the clerk and agent of Messrs. Willmer and S'nith. We know nothing of the letters of the kind received by Mr. Snewing, but we have a newsplper, and three weeks or a month ago there came over a vast number of prosp:ctuses and handbills from America, a ith a communication requesting that we would circulate them through C:e country. Knowing that it would be illegal to do anything of the kind, we sent the papers back, and when I was called upon by Mr. Snewing I wrote to Liverpool to nay principals upon the subject, and re ceived the following answer : " Liverpool, April 17. " Dear Sir,—The explanation of the affair of the lot tery, about which Mr. Snowing called upon you is briefly this:—About a fortnight ago or more we received, p , ,r steamer, from our friends Willmor and Rogers, in New York, a letter, requesting us to become agents in this country for the sale of shares in one of the. state I t ;eri,,,s—we think that of Maryland. There accompanied an advertisement for insertion to a large extent in the London papers. It was of course illegal, and we could not do it. and by the next au amer we returned the whole of the papers referring t , ) the affair. The acivertiserneat had certainly our 'mines with the premises here, and at Thanet-place, in London, named as agents, and where shares and further information could be ob tained, but it was never published in this country, and we could not have supposed that any prospectus or copy would have been circulated in America until it was as certained that we could or would act as agents. We do not know Mr. Russell, of Now York, at all. "It appears that Mr. Snewing's anger is very much misplaced. If he had made an inquiry at either esta blishment, he could have ascertained that we were not acting at all as agents, and have never agree . d to do so, er authorised the use of our names, and we are clearly not responsible for what another mats may publish at 2,000 miles distance. We may observe that the parties in America have acted in perfect good faith we believe, and with no evil intentions according to their notions. Lotteries are legal there in most states, as they once were in this country; and we bdieve they were not aware that the sale of shares in a lottery carried on in another country was illegal in England. —We are, dear sir, yours truly. " WILLIIER and SMITH. Mr. G. V. Robinson." Sir PETER LAURIE—I am very glad that the sub ject has been brought forward here; and I consider the attendance of Mr. Snewing and Mr. Robinson— the one to state the matter of complaint, and the other to give an explanation—is very creditable to both parties. We know that a great deal has been said about the iniquity of certain German lotteries, the schemes of which were published all over the country some time ago, but I did not suppose that after an end had been put to that system of monstrous humbug by the press, America, with her high cha racter for the payment of money demanded by equitable claimants, could have taken it into her head to make an experiment upon our credulity, by holding out large rewards for the venture of small amounts. It is necessary to state that lam perfectly satisfied with the disclaimer which has been made. My daily experience shows to me that, as steam and other scientific operations advance, the science of scheming goes on at as rapid a pace, and I shall be always most happy to do all I can to obtain restitution for those who are the victims to the vil- lanous ingenuity of foreigners, as well as of our own countrymen. MARY LEBONE. Mr. John Lawrence, a fishmonger, No. 2, Mot combe-street, Belgrave-square, and who is said to be a man of considerable property, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long on the charge, as entered upon the police-sheet, of "feloniously obtaining possession of a title-deed or counterpart lease of premises, 2, Mot combe-street, the property of Mr. Seth Smith, by inciting John William Jones to steal the same from his employer's office, No. 30, Somerset-street, Port- , man-square. Tilts MAGISTRATE considered that the case, taking all the circumstances into consideration, was one of a very peculiar character, and he could not say at pre sent what shape it might ultimately assume; the " inciting to steal" had, no doubt, been clearly made out, but not so the felonious intent, with which the prhoner was charged. It was a matter, which re quired full and further consideration, and he should, therefore, remand the prisoner until next Thursday. Upon that day another important witness, necessary to the completion of the case, will be in attendance. Mr. LONG said he had no objection to the prisoner putting in bail, himself in 4001. and two sureties in 2001. each, for his being forthcoming on the day named; he should, however, require twenty-four hours' notice, in order to afford time for the neces sary inquiry with regard to the respectability and competency of the parties whose names might be given in. The prisoner was locked up, and afterwards re moved in the usual way in the Government van to the House of Detention, Clerkenwell. LAMBETH. Thomas Bennett G ibbins, who has been in custody for some weeks on a charge of obtaining enormous sums of money from the benevolent by fraud and false pretences, and who, for the last ten years has lived by the same fraudulent means, was placed at the bar before Mr. Norton for final examination. The prisoner, who declined stating anything in reply to the various charges, was fully committed for [PRICE 6D. The MaoisTaAvo directed her to be at once com mitted upon the above charge, but ordered her to be brought up again on a future day, to afford the po lice an opportunity to substantiate other charges against her. WORSFHP-STREET. trial. Amelia Gill alias Shield, a young woman of lady like appearance and deportment, who was blind in one eye, and was stated to be the daughter of a gen tleman holding a situation in a Government dace, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, upon a charge of felony, under the following rather peculiar circumstances : _ ........................_ It appeared from. the statements of Sergeant Har vey, of the G division, and other witnesses, that on the preceding afternoon the prisoner called at the shop of Messrs. Toms and Joseph, silversmiths and jewellers, in Ludgate-hill, and selected various costly articles of plate, to the aggregate value of nearly 2001., which she requested them to for mard to her residence, at 56, Farringdon-street, and they would be paid for on delivery. Some misgivings having been entertained respecting her from the suspicious manner in which she conducted herself, one of the shopmen was directed to watch her closely as soon as she left the shop, and he accordingly followed her about for some hours, during which period she entered several other shops, one of which was that of a hoot maker named Dodson, in Cbiswell-street, Fins bury-square, on leaving which she stealthily pulled out a pair of boots from the inside of her dress, which she hastily wrapped in a handkerchief and secreted them underneath her shawl. She next en tered the shop of a pawnbroker in the City-road, at which the shopman ascertained upon inquiry that she had endeavoured to dispose of a gold ring, and sus pecting that the article had been stolen from his mas ter's warehouse, he again pursued the prisoner and gave her into the custody of a policeman, who took the pair of boots from beneath her shawl, but the ring she had attempted to pledge was not found in her pos session, and it was supposed that she had contrived to get rid of it on her way to the station-house. Sergeant Harvey stated that he had called at both the addresses given by the prisoner, the first of which was a respectable public-house in Farringdon-street, where nothing whatever was known respecting her; and that the premises in Wood-street were is the occupation of a wholesale manufacturing firm, who had been for some time past pestered with repeated inquiries for " Miss Gill," who was, of course, an en tire stranger to them. Mr. Vann, who appeared on behalf of the nrisoner, expressed his intention to reserve the defence, and PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. (From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of COINVIONI.) FRIDAY,.

An interesting story is told by the Glasgow Satur day Post of the adventures of a young lady, .51iss Mary Brown. She was the daughter of a gentleman lately dead, and inherited a small property from him, on which she lived. Her only near relative in Glas gow was a " ne'er-do-weel" brother, a cab-driver, who, having himself been disinherited, constantly teazed her and extorted money from her. Having friends in America, she determined to emigrate, and took her o f Glasgow steamer, which left passage by the City on Tuesday. Her brother, disappointed and vexed at her intended departure, formed a scheme to detain her. A trumpery claim was reared up, and a medi • tai i one fusee warrant applied for. This he swore to, and got the warrant. Armed with this authority, and attended by two sheriff's officers, he watched the sailing of the vessel. Miss Brown, with her friendi, was on board ; they remained with her till the s ignal for sailing was given, and, bidding her farewell, . they went on shore and walked do wn th e quay Now was the cab-driver's opp or t un it y . S ee i ng his sister d serted by her friends, and no help at hand, he sneaked on board the v esse l an d cause d hi s sister to be appre hended in the presence of the passengers, the ship's crew, and the immense multitude of on-lookers. In vain did she remonstrate against such shameful conduct--:- • violence was resorted to, and she was dragged on shore, and, refusing to listen to their proposals for letting her off, she was carried before Sheriff ,Bell. The Sheriff, after hearing the case, detected thi trick, and dismissed the case. She left the Sheriff's office, and met her friends ; sbe was now freed from her tormentors. A new dilemma now arose.. The vessel had sailed—Miss Brown's passage Was paid, and all her luggage on board. To overtake the vessel seemed hopeless, but still she was resolved to make the. attempt. Hiring a cab, she drove to the Greenock Railway station, and, finding a train on the point of starting, was speedily conveyed to Greenock. Fresh misfortunes seemed to arise—the City of Glas-• gow . steamer had passed Greenock nearly half a n hour before the arrival of the train, and was se en slowly steaming past Gourock. A Gourock steamer wile leaving the quay, and Alias Brown went on board of it. The Gourock steamer was rapidly overhauling the wh . er? 11l on a sUdden the hege. City of Glasgow , latter was seen to " bout snip,' and ateant towards Greenock. Th e cause of this sudden change arose from an accident which happened to the oil cistern on board. A steam -tug was dispatched to Greenock for a fresh sapply ofoil,and hence the del a y w hi c h prove d so fortunete for the persecuted orphan. Taking a small boat Miss Brown was rowed towards the vessel, and received on board • amid the cheers of the pas e„geee. A new matter of consternation now arose the captain, thinking she would not get away, had landed all' her luggage at Greenock, and there was no hope of getting it. Further vexation was put an end to by the return of the tug carrying the oil, with all- Miss Brown's luggage on board. Certain friends at Greenock had seen her luggage on the quay and forwarded it with the tug. Thus were all further impediments happily got over.
