After tr ying his skill forabout two hours, he gave it up, declaring that "he could not do it."

On this account, we perceive, by the advertisement in our front page, the managers have been in duced to make arrangements for a repetition of the same performances; and we doubt not that the result will prove the correctness of the opinion which we have always entertained of the disposition of our townsmen, to reward, with a due anti liberal share of . patronage, the enterprise of thos e w h o k now how to command attraction, by the activity and spirit with which they cater for the amusement of the public. - - FRASER'S MAGAZINE for FEBRUARY 1833 Price 2s. fid.

MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM FOR FILLING DECAYI.I) TEETH WITHOUT HEAT OR PRESSURE, AND INCORRODIBLE TEETH FIXED WITHOUT WIRES OR LIGA TURES. ,yONS. J. M. MALLAN, SURGEON-DENTIST, of the Firm 1.11. of MALLAN and SONS, London, animated by the un exampled patronage which he has enjoyed in Liverpool and. Manchester, has the honour to announce hi 'new arrange ments, by which, with the assistance of his biother, Mons. A. MALLAN, (whose co-operation the increasing claims upon his professional exertions have compelled hirriff i n require in this dis trict,) he is enabled to meet his numerouf engagements at the new establishments, No. 46, BOLD-STREET, LIVERPOOL, daily, and at 82, KING-STREET, MANCHESTER, on Mon days,Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. One of the above firm may be consulted, at Preston, on Friday next, the Bth, and Saturday, the 9th instant, at Mr. Schofield's, 48, Fishergate. Messrs. MALLAN continue to restore Decayed Teeth, how ever large the cavity ,, , , ith their celebrated MINERAL SUC CEDAN EUM, so ):'ersally recommended by the Faculty of London and Pa is. The operatio* PPING DECAYED TEETH is per formed in a few seconds. The MINERAL is put into the cavity in an almost liquid state, without heat or pressure, hardens into enamel, allays the most excruciating pain, and lasts for many years, preventing the necessity of extraction. They also FASTEN LOOSE TEETH, whether arising from age, neglect, or disease of the Gums. INCORRODIBLE MINERAL TEETH placed, from one to a complete set, which are incapable of discolouration or cor rosion, fixed without Wires or Ligatures, and warranted to answer every purpose for Articulation or Mastication. Since the prevailing Malady of the Cholera Morbus through out Europe, the substitute of MINERAL TEETH has entirely superseded the introduction of natural ones. This has arisen in consequence of their invention being free from those infectious impurities which must, more or less, attach to Human Teeth. Ashire , r.—Feb. thwarlE, Joßife , ick, Si; .

CHUBB'S DETECTOR LOCK.—The question of the security of Gauss's PVTENT DETECTOR LOCKS, if indeed, any doubt upon the subject previously existed, must now be considered as settled to the satisfaction of every reasonable mind. In our advertising columns, to which we refer, will be found the report of the results of the several trials made to open one of these locks, at the King's Arms Hotel, pursuant to a challen ge publicly given 1; v Mr. Chubb, through the medium of advertisenicvs in the pub lic papers, as well as of placards on the walls, 9*-ring a large reward to any persons who should succeed in picking or opei:- ing it. The whole of the attempts that were made were decidel failures. And yet, we hear there are men in this town who a,;_ sert that they can, nay that they have picked locks of this description. 'Were any of these men among the baffled on this occasion ? If not, why did they not come forward in answer to the challenge ? The inference admits not of doubt :—they felt convinced that upon trial all their efibro, as every one acquainted with the principle of these locks expected, 'would fail.—See Adv.

Urgai Notice, rriHE Commissioners in a Commission of Bankrupt, bearing date the 11th day of January, 1811, awarded and issued foal], against THOMAS HINDE, late of Liverpool, in the county of Lancaster, Merchant, intend to pieet on the 14th day of FEBRUARY, instant, at Twelve o'cl k at noon, at the Office of Messrs. SHACKLETON, WRIG and HUNTER, in Brunswick-street, in Liverpool aforesai n order to Audit the accounts of the" Assignees of the Estate d Effects of the said Bankrupt, under the said. Commission, pursuant to an Act of Parliament, made and passed in the sixth year of the reign of His late Majesty King George the Fourth, intituled " An Act to Amend the Laws relating to Bankrupts ;" and the said Commissioners also intend to meet on the following 4y ? at the samihour, and at the same place, to make a further Dividend of the Estate and. Effects of the said Bankrupt; when and where the Creditors, who have not already proved their Debts, are to come prepared to prove the same, or they will be excluded the benefit of the Dividend. And all claims not then proved will be disallowed. LOCAL. SPRING ASSIZES.—The commission will be opened, at Appleby, on Saturday the .16th; at Carlisle, on Tuesday the 19th; at Newcastle, for the town, and for the county of Nor thumbetlaud, on Saturday the 23d; at Durham, on Wednesday the 27th of February; at York, on Saturday the 2d, and at Lancaster, on Mondliy the 18th of March. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT.—In consequence of the Assizes, the Commissioners have arranged the holding of their sittings thus:—Chester, Wednesday, March 6; Liverpool, Tliday, 8; Preston, Monday, 11; Lancaster, Tuesday, 12. The Saint Patrick steam-boat, which sailed on Tuesday last from this port for Waterford, made her passage in 213! hours, being the shortest on record. Arrived, on Saturday, the 2nd instant, by his Majesty's packet Dolphin, from Dublin, the Earls of Roden and Meath, Lords Powerscourt and Jocelyn, Mr. Martin, Mr. Martin, M.P. and a number of other passengers. THE MARCH OF MATRIMONY.—At our Parish Church on Sunday last, the banns of no fewer than seven and forty couples were published.—Preston Pilot. DOCK POLICE.—We understand that Mr. Dowling, at present an officer of the London Police, has been appointed Superintendent of the Liverpool Dock Police. Mr. D. was retcommended to the Trustees by Colonel Rowen, to whom application had been made for a suitable person to succeed Ms. Broadley. iiOTITSAaASTLE.-The action brought by Mr. W. Watson against Captain Colquitt, for the pUblication of a letter arising out of the loss of this vessel, is set down for trial, on the 21st in stant, in the Court of Exchequer, London. A similar action, arising out of the loss of the same steamer, brought against Messrs. Rockliff and Duckworth and Lieutenant Morrison, is set down for trial, on the 26th, in the same court. _ _ IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—On ' Monday afternoon last, between two and three o'clock, the house of Mr. Grumley, Islington, was entered, and a large quantity of plate was stolen therefrom. The thieves effected an entrance from an unoccupied house ad joining, and they must have been very expert at their business, as several of the members of the family were within at the time. It is supposed that the robbery was committed by boys, several of whom were seen making off with a bundle from the back of the premises a short time before the robbery was discovered. THE LATE FIRE IN LANCELOT'S HEY.---The settlement of the claims on the insurance-offices concerned in this destructive conflavttion is, we are happy to say, in progress. The Pro tector Fire-office paid three losses on Thursday last.—( Liver. pool Chronicle, Saturday.) We have been assured, on autho rity, on which we can rely, that the Norwich Union Offi ce has settled all the claims arising from the late fire on that institu tion. Some of the claimants' receipts date back as far as the 19th of last month. ADDITIONAL. SUBSCRIPTIONS have been received, for the re lief of the sufferers at the late fire as under:—viz. Messrs. Ormerod Heyworth & Co. £5. THE NIGHTLY WATCH.—The motion for the appointment of eight additional captains to this establishment was taken into consideration on Friday. Thirteen Commissioners were present, Mr. W. Wales in the chair. After a long discus sion, they divided, when six Commissioners voted for and six against the motion, which was carried in the affirmative by the casting vote of the chairman. The Superintendent's salary was raised to 250 guineas per annum, and the Superintendent of Scavengers' to 100 guineas. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RAILWAY.—Last Friday after noon, as the three o'clock second-class train was proceeding over Par Moss, on its way from Liverpool to Manchester, the en gineer perceived a luggage train stationary on the same line of way, at no great distance before ; lie, in consequence, drew up and stopped his engine before reaching the waggons, which, for the time, interrupted his passage. The coach train had been thus detained some two or three minutes, when unfor tunately one of the boiler tubes burst, and a rush of steam soon enveloped the immediate neighbourhood of the engine in a dense cloud. At this juncture several passengers got down from their seats (actuated either by curiosity oralarm) and strolled on the otherline of railway; and now it was that the melancholy- ace.... denttook place. There was such a cloud of steam, that an en gine with a train of coal waggons from the Bolton railway came up in the opposite direction without beitig perceived, and ran over 3 or 4 persons who had placed themselves unawares in its way. We regret extremely to have to state that three persons Were killed on the spot, viz. two elderly men, apparently work ing mechanics, whose names are unknown, a fine young man named John Scholf, of Barton, who had been in the employ of the company as a fireman, but having been suspended a few days ago, was going to Manchester to apply to be re-in stated: besides these, a boy was so much maimed that there is great doubt whether his - life will be preserved. His name is Robert Hilton, sixteen years of age; he was p rocee di ng from Belfast to Halifax, where his parents reside; a wheel of one of the carriages had passed from his thigh down to his foot, and had crushed him dreadfully. In recounting the farticulars of this melancholy oc curre n ce , we cannot b ut b e orcibly impressed with the danger and obvious imprudence of persons leaving their seats in the event of any little con fusion_, or unexplained cause of del a y. I n th e p resent i nstance, . had the parties kept their seats, no one would have received the slightest injury. To the want of this salutary caution may be attributed the melancholy catastrophe, which it has been our painful duty to-record. FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday an inquest was held at Wh►t tle, before R. ,Palmer, Esq., on the body of Richard Astley. carter. It appears that the deceased on his wayfrom Black burn market to Chorley with a horse and cart, called at the Red( Cat in Whittle, about eleven o'clock on Wednesday night, and wanted some drink. This was refused, and he was heard to flog his horse which set off at a considerable speed. The next morning he was found dead in the road about 300 vavls from the Red Cat, and it was apparent that one of the wheels of the cart had gone over his body. The horse and cart arrived sale at Chorley, and what is very remarkable, a little boy was put into the vehicle previous to Astley arriving at Whittle, but al most immediately falling asleep . he reached Chorley soundly slumbering, and totally unconscious of all that had happened. —Preston Pilot. - THE CHASE.
