A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH. - - " ivy R. HOWARD, - Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet /VA. street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or igatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change col ur or t. ecay, and will be tound very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and usefal in mastica tion.— 52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Five.

This communication has been received by me with feelings of deep mortification, heightened in no small degree by the circumstance of its reaching me at a moment when your cordial reception and ap proval of my sentiments last evening tended to leave no doubt on my mind but that I should have been honoured by your full confi dence, and placed in the gratifying and useflal position of represent ing 3 ou in Parliammt. My first question to myself is, shall I (however strong my opinion may he that this office is forced upon me, in deprivation of a fond and I hope a laudable ambition), take any cour.e that may in volve the borough in doubt and difficulty? I answer I will not ! There is no alternative : I must either place your votes in possible jeopardy, or submit at once to the construction placed upon the law by the learned persons who have advised the Sheriffs. I refrain from discussing the subject further, although I remain under the strong conviction that I am entitled to be relieved from the office which is now forced upon. me. I have held it for many consecutive years, and no techn.cality ought, I conceive, to render it compulsory. lint let me repeat my determination to perform the duties required of me, rather than risk the involvement of your In terests and the public convenience. I accordingly, on these grounds, most reluctantly witl:draw my claim to your suffrages on this occa sion ; for I will not, nay, I dare not, on principle expose you to the hazard and inconvenience of a disputed election. I thank you fcr the unanitneus and cordial approbation with which you honoured me last night, and have the honour to be. Gentlemen, your obedient servant, 3, Great Cumberland-place DAVID SALOMONS. Tuesday Evening, June 8, 1847. Sir,—The Sheriffs hav e h a d very COPY OF THE UNDER-SHERIFF'S LETTER. 84, Basinghall-street' June 8, 1847.

It would, lam sure, h a v e a ff or d e d th em much pleasure to have rendered you every facility in their power consistent with their pub lic duty ; but, having consulted three eminent council, who all con cur in the opinion that you cannot now decline so act as returning officer, and that the Sheriffs have no power to accept your resigna tion, or to appoint any other person to that office, the Sheriffs are reluctantly* compelled to call upon yon to continue to perform the duties of returning officer, which they' lei:tinned you will do, as you have hitherto-dene, in the most Able Satistactory manner, I have the honour to be, Sir. Your most obedient servant, (Signed) A. J. BAYLIS. David Salomons, Esq. TO THE ELECTORS OF MARYLEBONE.

Reader, remember, this letter was put Into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3 Swan-street, 1.1.,0ugh, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking fir. W. Grimstone, or the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having corn pletelr restored the hair on her head, after using itahout tour months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was befere the baldness appeared. Mrs. Weeltley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perflime it is tar beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above tact- -3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops o the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and 'invent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aro natic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing )(lour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops ii the crown of the hea 1 ; if v -ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air on ehildren's heads in a few appplicdtions. It used on infants' ends, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

Baronet on entering the dining hall, and through out the evening, may truly be said to have neen as com plimentary to the chairman as his presence and advocacy proved beneficial to the charity. The dinner was admirably served by Messrs. Staples, of the Albion, and embraced a pro:usion of all the deli cacies of the season. On the right of the Chairman sat the Duke of St. Albans, Mr. Blakemore, Mr. Twining, Mr. J. Round, Sir J. Annesley, Major Moore, Major Oliphant, Mr. furner, Q.C., Rev. J. S. M. Anuerson, Mr. W. B. Bering, Mr. T. G. Sambrooke, and Alderman Copeland; and on the left the Dean of Westminster, Rev. Dr. Jell, Dr. Saunders, Mr. Ch a p man , M r . Green, Sir R. Smirke, Dr. Guy, Sir W. Riddell, Dr. Major, Sir J. D. faul, Bart., Mr. G. Frere, Mr. J. S. Capper, and the Rev. Mr. Howarth. . At the other tables sat the various professors of the college, and the friends of the hospital, forming altogether a highly respectable assemblage. The musical arrangements, under the superintendence of Mr. I'. Cooke, assisted by Messrs. Hall , Lockey, and Machin, were admirable. Mr. Harker was tost-master, and acquitted himself most creditably. The cl .th having been removed, The CHAIRMAN rose and said—l beg to propose "The health of ,her Majesty the Queen," and I cannot doubt that in any society composed of the subjects of her Ma je;ty, that name will be received with cordial demon strations of respect from pure abstract feeling, of lo) ally towards our sovereign.—(Cheers.) But we who are connected witb, or interested in, tne prosperity of the King's College Hospital, stand in a special and peculiar relation to her Maj. sty. As the patron of that institu• lion, her Majesty has given repeated proofs of the inter est she takes in its welfare by liberal contributions, not out of any public fund, but out of that private fund which constitutes the private fortune of her Maje,ty,— (Chest's.) On that ground, also, we shall mark our cordial respect fur the Queen, but I cannot propose this toast without adding, as another claim to the at tachment and affection of Englishmen, that her Ma jesty sits in every relation of life, as a wife and as a " mother, the brightest example of domestic virtue. I beg, therefore, to propose to you The health of the Queen," and I sun sure you will receive it with all attachment and enthusiasm. (The toast was drunk with all the honotirs, and followed by the national anthem.) The OHAIRMAN—I will now give you " The Queen Dowager, Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family."—(Cbeers.) You will find among the members of the Royal Family many li beral contributors to this institution; the Queen Dow ager, Prince Albert, and, I may specially name the Duke of Cambridge, who have all marked by the liberality of their contribukons, and in some instances by persevering personal exertions, their desire to promote the welfare of the hospital of Kings College.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN—I now rise to propose to you " The Church"—(Loud cheers)—and it gives the greatest sa tisfaction so associate with that venerable institution the name of a Prelate, who is full of years and honours, who by his Wild virtues, his discretion, his forbearance, and his judgment, as well as by the purity of his private cha racter, has served the interests of the Establishment, and founded the strongest claims to the attachment and re spect of his fellow -countrymen.—(Loud cheers.) The Dean of WESTMINSTER returned thanks, and elo quently expatiated on the benefits derived by the poor in such institutions as the hospital of King's College. The CHAIRMAN—I now give " The Army and Navy." Although above thirty years have elapsed since, during the period of a general war, the army and navy were called upon to make the utmost exertions in sup port of the interests and in vindication of the honour of this country, yet; in that long interval of peace there have been frequent occasions, in India—Cheers)—and in other parts of the world, in which the services of the army and navy in active warfare have been de manded ; and we know that these gallant p ro f ess i ons have nobly supported the reputation which they inherit from their predecessors.—(Cheers.) We have had re cent occasions of doing honour to the names of Har dinge—(Cheers)—and of Gough, of Sale, and of Smith —(Loud cheers)—and we feel the utmost confidence that if on a more extended sphere of action, in vindication of the honour or in the protection of the essential interests of this country, the services of our fleets and of our armies should be required, all the glories of the Penin sula and of Waterloo will again shine forth with equal lustre.—(Loud cheers.) Major OLIPHANT returned thanks for the army. Sir K. PEEL then rose and said—lt is now my duty to advert to the particular object which has called us toge ther this evening, which I rejoice to bear has rendered it necessary fur the stewards or this dinner to seek more enlarged and extended accommodation than that which they originally contemplated.—(Cheers.) And as the interests of this institution are on this night committed, in some manner, to my hands (Loud and continued cheers) —accustomed as I may be to address public assemblies I do feel a deep anxiety, from which I can only b' relieved by my confidence in your liberality. —(Cheers.) It is my duty to recommend to that libe• relay an institution which contemplates two noble ob jects : first, the immediate mitigation of that suffering which is connected with disease or accident ; and se condly, the promotion of that knowledge founded on actual experience, without which all efforts at mitiga tion must be ineffectual and incomplete.—(Cheers.) Al low me to call your attention to some circumstances that may not at first sight appear immediately connected with this institution. We are Bitting here in the very heart and centre of one of the greatest communities that exist upon the face of the globe—the metropolis of the greatest and most powerful empire. We see around us within this locality no great evidence of change. These wells existed as they now exist some hundred years since ' • but it is impossible to look be yond these walls, and to witness without emotions of as tonishment and admiration the changes that are taking place in the constitution of society within this metro polis. Let me take a privilege often taken on similar occasions, and suppose it were possible to recal some one who existed within this metropolis one hundred years ago, and was conversant with the state of its popu lation and the institutions that existed at that time. He would be impressed with awe in contemplating the won derful changes that have taken place. lie would see around him every evidence of increased population, in creased wealth, increased refinemext, anti increased civilization. I know not what the population of this great metropolis might have been at the time of which I speak, but we have the means of estimating what has been its probable increase from the facts to which we have access. Within 30 years, from 1800 to 1831, the population of this metropolis increased not loss than 70 per cent. The number of houses increased, I believe, at the rate of 63 per cent.; within some portions of the metropolis, I speak more particularly of those districts that are in the environs of London, and now consti tuting great Parliamentary boroughs, the increase of houses in that short period has not been less than 95 per cent., and the increase of the population there was not less than 105 per cent. You may judge from these tacts what must have been the increase within 100 years. Then let me suppose that individual revisiting the scenes with which, so far as locality is concerned, he would have been conversant. He would see around him a vastly increased population; he would see the evidences of enormous wealth; he would see the increase of esti• blishments connected with the promotion of art, of lite rature, and science: he would see new theatres, he would see new club-houses rivalling palaces in magnificence; he would see new squares, new streets—everything that can administer to the amusement and the rational re creation of the people. But, suppose he inqured what has been the increase of your hospitals? The answer to that question would be anything but satisfactory. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) He would be told there now exists within the metropolis, which comprises a popula lation of not less than 1,500,000 souls, limiting myself to those districts which return Members to Parliament, , here now exist (speaking of hospitals for general pur poses, for the reception of patients and the dispensation of medicine) only ten hospitals, audihe would answer, with surprise and regret, that at the period he lived, 100 years ago, not less than seven of those hospitals were then in existence—seven the most richly endowed with he means of support, and the most capable, from the extent of their accommodation, to give relief in cases of disease or accident. Ho would tell us that Guy's llospi al, Middlesex Hospital. London Hospital, St. Bartholo mew's Hospital. and Westminster Hospital. all existed at the period at which he lived, and that since that period to the hospitals so richly endowed, either by the munificence of our Sovereigns or by private bounty, there has been the addition of only three hospitals, and these on the most limited scale, namely, the Charing-cross Hospital, and the two in connexion with University College and King's College—those three additional nospttals having been bu , lt within the last eighteen years. Now, it is in behalf of one of these three hos tal., that connected with King's Colleg e, tnat it is my duty to-night to make an appeal to your benevolence and liberality—(Cheers)—and to try to impress upon you the duty which is incumbent upon us all, having before us those evidences of increased population, increased wealth, increased refinement, increased institutions for every purpose that can contribute to recreation and amusement —the moral obligation that is imposed on us to do something towards repairing the great defi ciency which exists comparing these with former times in respect to the means of initigating the suffering con eupon accident or disease.—(Cheers.) This c•iugueut spital is dependent for its support upon voluntary contributions. It is on a very limited scale—it is not in but w its d funds, and in 8 very suitable place, i ts unsuitable position, see what limite good it has accom plished. It makes up not more than 120 beds. It has ~arcely a shilling, except what is de rived from voluti. sry contributions. or from is meeting like this, wi en at, stinsac. lleetiun takes place. With the means of accom wallas the hospital 120 patients, I believe that not l e ss than 1,276 patient' wire receiTed withi n the walls in the course of the last year.—(Cheers.) But tht relief given was not confined to those received within the walls. With these limited means, on account of the necessities of this vast population, because there is a deficiency in the means of giving relief, not less than 16,547 cases were relieved without the walls in the course of the past year.—(Cheers.) Besides these there were many other cases where the demand f, .r relief being pressing there was no opportunity for re gistration ; and therefore the total number registered is but an imperfect index of the quantity of relief afforded. But, taking the registered cases of 4 , 'ver nal relief, and adding to them the oases of relief dministered within the walls of the hospital, wilt its limited means, you have not less than 17,82:1 persons receiving fro% this institution during the past year an alleviation ofltheir sufferings.—(Loud cheers.) There were not less than 450 cases in which peer mar ried women, unable, from their own earniogs, to poem-, relief during their confinement, had a mitigation of then ufferings through the intervention of the officers of this institution.—(Cheers.) Such is the extent of good which has been done by the hospital in connexion with King's College; and that is good against which no pos sibility of objection can be ralsed.—(Cheers.) Then are cases of benevolence and charity where, however unquestionable your motives, it is possible you may be relaxing exertion and engendering habits of dependence on external assistance; but here there is no possibility of objection on any such ground to the exercise of your charity.—(Cheers.) Here are cases of actual buffering in which human misery was mitigated, in which no habits of self-dependence were relaxed, no motives to continuous exertion interfered with.—(Cheers.) You will, therefore, bear in mind that every contribution which you may make towards the funds of this society will not only lessen the sum of human misery, not only mitigate the severe suffering of thousands of your fel low-creatures, but that to your charity for that purpose no legitimate objection can be made.—(Cheers.) Such is one of the objects, the immediate mitigation of suffer ing, fur which this institution is intended; but it has another object, and an equally important one. in view. It constitutes a school where knowledge of the human frame can be acquired—where there can he a close observation of the appearances and progress of d sease. You not only, therefore, by contributing towards the funds of this society, are mitigating present suffer ing, but you are providing means by which, in this densely crowded m etropo l is , t h e powers of f uture miti gation shall be appli, d.—(Cheers). You are training up those who, to th e com i ng generation, shall be enabled to administer assistance and relief.--(Cheers). And, if you want any . other motive for cont r ib ut i ng lib era l ly , you have it in thut yo u are contr ib uting towards sninstitution which recognises the great truths of re vealed religion, and is intimately connected with the Es tablished Church.—( Loud cheers.) Within the walls of this hospital those who receive relief are called upon to offer their acknowledgments to the Author of their being.—(Cheers). Those who are entering into the school, enter it under a deep sense of religious duty ; and there is every opportunity afforded to them of being impressed with the sanctions and obligations of religion. While they are contemplating the human frame they are called upon to recognise, in the admitted fact that we are " fearfully and wonderfully made," a new obliga tion to reverence the omniscience and benevolence of the Deity ; but, above all, in the wonderful constitution of the human frame, and the marvellous connexion between its material and spiritual part, to discover additional evidence, not merely of Natural Religion, but of that re vealed truth which it is the object of our Church to teach and propagate.—(Cheers.) I call upon you, then, not merely as friends of humanity, but as friends of the Esta blished Church, as friends of religion, desirous of promot ing the connexion between medical science and that form of religious faith we profess—by all these motives I implore you to mark your sense of the im portance of this institution by a liberal contribution this night.—(Cheers.) It is possible that before you entered these walls you may have made up your minds to the subscription of some particular sum. It is just possible that the stewards may have already recorded particular amounts in their subscription papers ; but let me make I to you the consolatory announcement that there is a locus pcenitentiw.—(Loud cheers.) You are in no degree bound or concluded by any communication you may have made to those respectable gentlemen—(Cheers)— and if you are deeply convinced, as I am, of the truth I am about to state, that if he who made up his mind to give 51. will give 10/., and he who made up his miad to give 201. will give 501., a n d h e w h o purposed giving 501. will give 1001., I venture to say you will not only pro portionately mitigate the sum of human suffering, but my firm conviction is, you will thereby add to your own enjoyment; you will reflect with pleasure that you had made a convivial meeting anciliary to the purposes of charity; you will never see or hear of the King's College Hospital without reflecting with pride that you had by your liberal contributions of this night rescued it from the difficulties in which it is placed from deficient means, contributed to its prosperity, and, through its pros perity, enabled it not only to diminish present suffering, but to train up in the school of science, and not only of science, but of religion and virtue, members of that noble profession—for noble the medical profession is in all its branches—having for its immediate object th, alleviation of those grievous sufferings which are thy lot of our common humanity. I give " Prosperity to the King's College Hospital."—(Loud cheers.) The Duke of ST. ALBANS proposed " The health of Sir Robert Peel, and thanks for his presidency on this occasion." The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm. Sir R. PEEL, in returning thanks, said—l wish very briefly, but with the utmost sincerity, to return you my warmest acknowledgments for the very flattering man ner in which, on the proposal of the Noble Duke on my right, you have had the goodness to receive my health. I attended the first meeting which was held for the estab lishment of King's College—(Cheers)—and, although the very important occupations in which for some years past I have been engaged have prevented me from giving ♦ery close attention to the concerns of that institution, yet I have always felt the deepest interest in its welfare, and it is because I felt assured it was one effectual mode of promoting its welfare to see it connected with one of the best regulated medical schools of the metropolis that I have been induced to appear before you this evening; though I must say the gratification I have had in meet ing so very respectable a budy of my fellow-subjects in this ancient hall has been far more than a sufllcieat re- muneration to me for any saerifiee I have made to be present.—(Loud cheers.) The Right lion. BARONET then proposed the Trea surer, Mr. Alderman Copeland's, health, which was drunk amidst loud cheers. Mr. Alderman COPELAND briefly acknowledged the compliment, and read a list of subscriptions, which were announced to amount to the large sum of nearly 1,700/. ; the chairman contributing 100/. The following toasts were then drunk in rotation:— " Mr. Green and the Council of King's College " (acknowledged by Professor Green) ; " The Principal and Professors of King's College ' (acknowledged by the Rev. Dr. Jelf); " The Master, Wardens, and Court of Assistants of the Worshipful Company of Stationers, and thanks to them for the use of their Hall ;" "Sir W. Riddell and the Committee of Management;" " The Medical Officers of the Hospital," " The Clergy who have advocated the cause, and the Incumbents who have lent their churches for collections in behalf of the hos pital;" and " Mr. Twining and the Stewards." The company did not separate till near midnight. MR. O'CONNELL'S FUNERAL. THE "YOUNG IRELAND" PARTY. Dusa.xx, JUNE B.—The Council of the Irish Confede ration met yesterday; William Smith O'Brien, Esq., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN stated, that having heard that Mr. O'Connell's family were desirous that the members of the Irish Confederation should not attend the funeral of Mr. O'Connell, he had thought it right to address the following letter to Mr. John O'Connell : " 4 Westlan, June 7. " My dear O'C onae ll,—A s I should be d-row very reluctant to take any part in reference to the funeral of your lamented father which may not be acceptable to his 'amity, I shall feel obliged if you would let me know whether it is their wish that those who dissented from the policy adopted by the Repeal Association during the last twelve months should attend the funeral. "I should not have deemed it necessary to trouble you with this inquiry, if I had not learned that it is the impression of some of my friends that Mr. O'Connell's family desire that none of those who ars called the Young Ireland' party should be present on the occa sion.—l remain yours very faithfully, " WILLIAM S. O'BRIEN. _ _ "John O'Connell, Esq." " As our council meets to-day at three o'clock, perhaps you will kindly forward an early reply." He regretted to say that he had received the following reply from Mr. Maurice O'Connell : "30, AL-Trion-square South, June 7. " r i Mr. Smith Maurice t h oßri O'Connel lO'Brien, .nand begs e presents ay h i that s his compliments brother,toM Mr. John O'Connell, having submitted to him Mr. Smith O'Brien's letter of this morning's date, it becomes his duty in reply to inform him, that all arrangements for the funeral having been entrusted to the Glasnevin Cemetery Committee and the Rev. Dr. Miley, the family leaves it entirely in their hands." Mr. O'Brien stated that he did not desire to suggest any course to the council in connexion with this corres pondence, as he thought that each member of the Con federation ought to act upon the occasion in accordance to his own sense of propriety ; but for his part he in terred from Mr. M. O'Connell's letter, that it is the wish of the family that he sho u ld not attend the funeral. Atter some further business the council adjourned. SUICIDE ON THE SOUTH-IVESTERN RAILWAT.— At an early hour on Wednesday a young woman deliberately threw herself in front of the seven o'clock express down train, as it was approaching the iron bridge which carries the Wandsworth -road over the line near the Plough, at Battersea. The line at this part forms a curve, and a person upon the line would be concealed from view of the driver of a train until he got very near. The driver saw the young woman, and ca ll e d to her to get out of tlie way, an dalmost m omentarily the engine s t ruc k h er , an d Inirle . her a las ai twice of sev era l yar d s f rom t h e spot w h ere s h e fell. she was taken to th e W an d swort h U n i on, w h ere v paid her; she su rv i ve d, h owever , o nly te admission.

Mr. Sergeant WILAXGRAX objected to the question, on the ground that that line was not before the Committee. The Committee took the same view of the question, and it was not put. In reply to the question, whether the line would be ob jectionable to the property of the Crown, or not, be replied that the line of - last session was objectionabl e , but whether the present line was or way not t.)llectionable to the Crown, was a question • which would be inure properly answered by the First Commissioner oh Woods and liere,ts, I.old Slurped), i ..)..) 1 ord L incoln, than by turn.
