CAUTION TO PERSONS NEGLECT N-f ING THEIR TEETH AND GUMS . . ItZTKACT FROM MONS. LE DRAY'S " TREATISE ON LOSS Or VititTli." Among the varions disorders of the Mouth, there is none more destructive than Scurvy. which on first entering the Gums !ous ts skesn to bleed. on the Most trifling occasions, and pro dOes the most ofiensive and frequently put r id b rea th. A soft. substance invariably accumulates around the necks the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually .vaste d rop away, and the Teeth then become loose, anti tht out whole f rom their sockets, and it is well kno wn the) 0 _ o UTeeth arises more from this cause than any other. tx thi s int . b ecla distinguished Lecturer makes the following b!ervatiOns t When the disgusting effects of this accumn_ Nation are con.ridered, - it would appear impossible that any per "lasi° r-a llad be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great a nuisan ce de based Tice even on their ewn account or if they are too ._ .0 procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ "g a st.ilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the ,suers of ethers, who p oss ess more delicacy and propriety of 'ee.ing than themselves. Yet, so it is ; and the sight and the ~ eaell 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. I Could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth an 1 gums, or for a moment catch the odour of their own breath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To atrofessional men, thop-keepers, and tradesmen generally , who ave much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world, 4 good state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance ! besides, is not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out of twenty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth and gums, v errY much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony? ,And how often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness Ofthe marriage state most grievously interupted by the same o s . s he inconvenienries attending the Loss of Teeth are too known to require comment, but to those who have not ex , t e risneed the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dra y :°•°l , d esirmla of showing some of the difficulties more or less en. 1 . bx every individual without them. When the T eeth ar e „ — t it is impossible to make use of Aid Pried ; and if the y 'mach is then loaded with pieces without being masticated. : "e patient is exposed to the most distressing in.ligestions, the t belach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak it proportion as it no longer digests; besides, when the Teetb are 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 le the functions of digestion and articulation ; to which they _are so e ssen ti a l, or t o p erson al appearance, in which they are r much coneerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not ~e Obv ious that th ere ar e manj pers ons w ho n ever 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 a nd associates. be llastification is the first process of digestion, and unless it ,„2'ulY performed, the subsequent processes can never go on toptrly. essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it 13 sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner nut debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rough and , tired of a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips sir vermillion hue, and, in a word, it is no uncommon thing for the w h o l e b o d y t o rece i ve suc h a s h oc k as t o ca u s e 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 !o Ourselves. But I n ee d no t dwell upon the num berless concomitant evils which may thus owe their origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to _kaow that Mo ns i eur L e D ray ' s i mprovemen t s will be found to be many years in advance of any system now in Eu rope, and that artificial teeth are an - -street, Oxford-street, as brought to such perfection, at his Establishment, N o . 60, N ewm to perform this function inam u a se n: i s ewrite every c omf ort. al in every respect to the natural teeth, and m a y be so arranged as to restore th e face formertoits Tou T h ey titful cast, correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doin g a way with the old system of springs, clasp s , an d w i res. As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever stan pre-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of coin , plexien, so sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can render that lady beautiful, who when she opens her lips (thrugh 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 ennoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even. On the other hand the effects of decay, the accumulation of tartar, the blackened and denuded fangs, and the taint of the breath, which is tt common concomitant of bad teeth, will invariably prove disgusting and loathsome. Regular teeth, white, and free from all extraneous matter, are an ornament equally attractive in either sex. Those per lons who do nut possess this natural advantage, should en deavour, by extreme care and cleanliness, and a timely resort to artifitsul aid, to remedy.the imperfections, and supply the • defi cie ncies of nature, in order that their teeth, if not an a g ree. a "le, object, may be prevented, as far as possible, from becominp repulsive one. 11Ionsieur LT DRAY, Surgeon-Dentist, 60, Newman-street, Oatord-street, respectfully acquaints the Nobility,. Gray, "ergy, and the inhabitants of London and its vicinity, that e 'continues to restore Decayed Teeth with his celebrated 11 r ine- Marmaratum, so universally re commended by the Fac ult y of England, France, and throughout the Continent. which substance lie is sole inventor and possessor of. The ope ration is performed without the least pain ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds atrdens into enamel, preventing and curing the Tooth Ache, arresting all further progress of decay, allaying in one minute the most excruciating pain, and rendering the operation of ex traction unnecessary.

SOLOMONS are the most powerful instru ments for the relief of deafness. From their minute construc tion, and convenient form, deaf persons are enabled to wear them entirely unseen, and they may be inserted and rumored with the greatest facility. By their use the lowest whisper breathed at a public assembly vibrates on the organs of near ing in such a pleasant manner, as to afford the greatest relief to those labouring tinder the distressing ailment of dearness. Mr. E. SOLUMONS' PATENT SPECTACLES possess the advantage of modifying bright and strong light transmitted through the various humours of the eye, so as to render vision most perfectly distinct by day, or lamps or candles at night, conveying also a sense of coolness and pleasure to the organ, with the additional recommendation of being free fi om the per nicious attributes of common glasses. Their superlative ex cellence is attested by the following and many other eminent practitioners, who have examined, used, and reemeasssende,i them in preference to all others : Sir Anthony Carlisle, F.R.S., Langham-place.

S.'s name and pro fession, and are from his immediate neighbourhood, and, with the most unblushing effrontery, issuing from the daily press puffs about " Newly-invented Spectacle Lenses," and Hearing Instruments, which are fraudulently set forth as pos sessing the most wonderful powers. The Glasses are detrimental to the sight. The names of some obscure apothe caries and others are used in this absur d quackery. to deceive the public into a belief that these pernicious glasses possess some very su;-ernatural powers. These common Lenses may be purchased for one shilling the pair, and for which the most exorbitant charges are exacted by the parties, against whom 'th public are now respectfully cautioned. Mr. E.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tun.s, which for some unaccountable reason have keen either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the cs dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these aflections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast ap p r oachin g to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, ias been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, li?art disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultin.idely the l ives of his pupils arc sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in pope time. Ile will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point outL he disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF TIIIS DAY. (From the llorning Chronicle.) The Timex thus forcibly sums up the projects of the Thiers Government : " The projects which it has avowed, exhibiting so much of unprincipled selfishness and rancorous enmity towards Great Britain, were carefully, however unsuccessfully, disguised throughout its negotiations with the Allied Powers, under the mask of a warm interest in the well being of Turkey. Since the downfal of M. Thiers, the real motives of that gentleman and his colleagues have been not merely announced, but boasted of, to it 11:me the evil passions of the worst portions of the French peo ple, viz., the faction war at any price;' the forbear ance towards the Pacha is acknowledged to be a trap for the exclusive protectorship of Egypt by Fraiace ; the abuse of Great Britain fur 'breaking' up the French Alli ance was a el-ak for the establiAment of another alfl anee, including E•zypt, N 'piss, &c., under the name of 'secondary maritime Power:,' also under the exclusive protectorship of France, and confessedly for the overthrow:- . e _ll I • 4 _ 1 .311Voall ; km; - drawal of the French fl A. from the Levant to Toulon was, though seemingly a pacific, in reality an aggressive move ment against England, through a monstrous iniqui•y to be perpetrated upon the Spanish Crown and nation—to wit a more convenient seizure of the Balearic as links in the chain between Algi,rs and Toulon !" It is lamentable to think chat the Press of France has, with few exceptions, made itself subservient to the policy of which these were the objects, and availing itself of weaknesses in the French character, has laboured with a most p. rverse industry to corrupt the national principles, and to infl Imo the passion for spoil and conquest ! Great good, however, will have been done by the exposures which have taken place. Suc cessful villany is a great corruptor of principles, hut, where the attempt to do wrong has been followed by exposure and disgrace, the effect is seldom lost on the world. Ws may be sure that the maxim that honesty after all is the best policy, has lost none of its influence on the na'ions of Europe by what has taken place in France. And when the French see, as s.T. they must, that their country does not possess the weight in Europe which it ought to have, in consequence of the suspicions , and jealousies which the unprincipled and fool sh con duct of their late Government has necessarily excited— that in corsequence of the big blunders in question, even an honest Ministry will be unab!e for some time to destroy the unfavourable impressions which have been crested—that it will for some time be on trial, as it were, we may hope that they will profit by the infliction. " It is obvious," observes our able Contemporary the Scotsman, " that the French feel themselves hundited by the events which have grown out of the Eastern ques tic-% They appear secretly conscious that their fantsro nade and idle menaces hare rendered them ridiculous in the eyes of Europe ; and the more hot-headed champions of the national honour bellow for war as the only refuge front contempt. ' Let us turn the farce into tragedy,' is the langusge of the war-party in France. That France is less respected now than at the commencement of the negotiations, is title. This is keenly felt by M. Thiers and his friends, and consequently we find in the course of the d. bate perpetual allusions to the degraded position in which the country is placed. Too proud to trace that do. gradation to its proper source, they persist in charging the English Government with wilfully insulting France by ex cluding it from the councils of Europe. There is no rea soning with such men. They have taken up a false posi tion, and although no longer tenable, their overweening vanity will not suffer them to abandon it. It is the blun dering and disingenuous policy of M. Thiers which has caused the temporary isolation of France from the other great Powers, and yet it is the reckless supporters of this policy who are now thundering from the tribune about na tional degradation and loss of influence r In this great mount:m.l.d capital there are not Linke- , quent instances of men who destroy fortune, credit, and character, by what is leniently termed too great haste to be rich. The French were in too great a haste to be preponderant. The bones of Napoleon may be brought back to France ; but the circumstances which enabled him to trample on Europe cannot be brought back. France is now like other nations, dependent for her influence with her neighbours on the confidence which she inspires. We trus t that the nation will re main contented with its fair and legitimate influence. Schemes for appropriating, by book or crook, the pos. sessions of other nations can hardly succeed in the prn e- sent day, and the cherish in g them only impairs the i fluence which France, for the welfare of Europe, ought , to possess. The Times terms the French Alliance ' a " dear fosterchild of Lord Palmerston." Why may not the best understanding prevail between France and England ? Oar neighbours, many if they wish to become powerful by means which shall no t exe:te well found ed jealousy, they may benefit in man y things from the ex am p le of Eng:and. (From the Morning Adverliser.) The Times, with its usual determination of incon sistency', after having supported a policy—the policy of Lord Palmerston—respecting tl.e affairs of the East, which it condemned at the outset, has now—that af fair having been brought to a satisfactory conelitsion— pt the same course of attack thoug ht proper to attempt with regard to the war with China. Whether it will be consistent nr not in following out its attack by a subs!quent approval, remains to be seen ; but the at tack has been commenced, and according to all previous precedent, we have a right to anticipate that the flag of its opposition will be speedily lowered. The Times of Tuesday list found fault with two things in the con duct of the Government—the first, the principle of the war now in existence—and the second, the mode in which it is carried on. The first it denominates an opium war, and insinuates that England goes to war with the Government of China for the purpose of Pro tecting a traffic in an illegal and noxious drug this, as every one knows, is a false position. bog and does not go to war for any such improper and unjustifiable purpose. If she has been made the medium of transit, or import, of a prohibited article, the fault rests not with her, but with the Chinese authorities, who not only sanctioned, but participated in the plunder resulting from the traffic ; and she does not war with China for the purpose of en couraging or monopolizing —compensation a trade in a baneful article, but to procure justice to her subjects for the injuries dope treo therp-..and security that, fo . the future, the trade of the two countries. - Anil be r- ' ried on upon a fair and equal basis, and n v further in sults offered to- the "barbarian eye" either of her Ma jesty or of her people. These are proper at d legiti mate objects of war, and the Tinies may g 1 on to doomsday itt preaching against it, as an °pint a or a n unjust war, without:being able to conviuce any 1 English man that, having been slapped, upon one chef k, he ' ought to hold up tlee other to a similar disgrs Ice ill castigation. However, with regard to the pein k ti l d e of the war, it would be a waste of words to print a sentence respecting it. We have justified it in man y i previous articles,the arguments of which have never bees I L lainsayed ; and wi h regard to the mode of carrying it on, Oat foundation is there for the criraination of the Tinher Oat the preparations are not equal to the result to he. O h s ained? As yet we have received but one dispatch., an d b ,`ltat despatch is fraught, with news of conquest an& terrain -sal aggrandizement. One great object has be e n already'l attained—that of possessing a central position where we ,,eannot only store our military and naval muni tions, but from which at any moment not only secu re as much of !lac trade of China as we require, but send forth our land . and sea forces at any moment to compel her submission to' our wishes. And is this nothing ? Is there any other c ewntry in the world which has ob tained such a faeouran to . position ? Nay, has not as much been done since the" arrivil of otr fl•et in the Chinese seas as we had o,l' right. to expect? The Times talks of " striking a 1. ,., eat blow," and with the most ludicrous inconsistency ; b et vie ask where, or how, without in the first instance e stabile:Wag a central point from which to direct the o p s -trations: of our forces? Had this main and most essentiar point born neglected, -e the Government would have been't.euntod with unskil ful arrangements, mad their failure placed to the cr edit • of want of prudence. • ` (From the Morning Post.) . Of money, as consisting of coins and bank-ii tee. the' latter convertible at pleasure, we hold it impossible to form any tolerable theory without taking account of f those essential differences and irreconcilcable disagree- ' meats already mentioned. Our purpose is now to speak of currency ; and first, as lo what we consider that word to signify. Br " current-9" we, understand in , general whatever, as a medium of ,exeliange, is cur- e rent in making payments. We do no Add "or die , - X charging debts," because such an addition is - in:enlist ent, and produces confusion. Strictly spoaltiog, that only discharges debts which is a legal tender; lent to he a legal tender is a peculiarity eten with respect an 5 ..„ money, and cann o t, th ere fo r e, be insisted on as 1U -''. general and essential attribute of currencv, Vro-• tincial banknotes are not aI, gal tender, and neither - 1 are silver coins for payments exceeding forty shillings each. Both, however, are money, sad both are currency, so far as they are current ice , making payments, no mat ter of what amount.. k And as it is not essential to currency that inc should be a legal tender, neither is it so that it should be convertible at pleasure into that which is; for sos are not excessive tenders in silver coins ; and if con vertibility into that which is a legal tender is not es sential, still less is convertibility into gold and silver.- Respecting the elements of which the currency consists, and the proper definition of the term, a great deal has lately been written, questioned, and disputed, yet still there is not much agreement, and scarcely anything that is satisfactorily supported or explained.- Perhaps the best way to arrive at a satisfactory con clusion will be to go to the head and front of the inquiry. Why is it wanted to be known what are the elements of which the currency consists? What is it that makos the currency an object of such in tense inquiry ? This :—Prices are not steady ; con vertibility is frequently in danger ; no dependence - can be placed on credit. These who dare to depend upon it in business find theniselves—now with a loose rein, going fast, tempted and urged to go still taster; by and by, perhaps, rushing headlong, whip and spur, then suddenly pulled up ! Very capricious this may seem—very hard—but so it ;6, ,end with the present system will be. Convertibility is in danger. The gold is going—meu dare not lend—mmeay is scarce —discounts are denied—a storm is brewing—we .nitt.st shorten sai'. Thus it is that commerce becomes a soa culstion, and speculation a game at hazard. These dis orders arc seen to be connected with the currency ; bat' in what degree and in what relation—whether as causes or effects, and how to be accounted for as tither—can not be ascertained. In this confusion and perplexity some say one thing, some tteothtr. The provincial banks—the bank of England !—the circulation --they deposits—the securities! The only [Foe of harmony ii, that, in addition to convertibility, and fur its prottac tion, anti (what we consider infinitely mire important) lin. the yirotection gf the trade and commerce vf the countru, it is absolutely necessary that there should be either a superaddell regulation or a renovated system. This it is which makes the currency an object of such intense solicitude, it being, or being supposed to be, at once the inch- x of the disorder, and the instrument or subject of the required regulation. When tneney was exclusively metallic, the aggregate ~..: of tore S. eXCent in those v;tino, q hp', !horn Lanru , nnii 1, . IA; b: u nes ci traneter, depen d e d =Huy on toe quart. tits' of money current, which money current was then the currency. 'l'o ocher cathcs something would of course be owing, but, generally, this would be the rule ' —as iv the quautity of money current, to is the aggro- _,17 , i, gate if priers Men wonder wily it is nsit so now ! `', We do nat wonder at th,ir wonderment. If, Low ey, r, they mould be Lss gr gatiou—le:s di nosed to follow and afraid to think—less wedded to their 2.ectems, and more fret' and manly in their private judgaie.-ta— they ru ght easily find the rea,nr. h the quantity of money current now so fixed as it Was then ? Is its power. its rapidly of circulation, so uniform now as then? Ths money, as a current medium of exchange, no more _auxiliaries now than then ? Vatiat.ons in the quantity of money current were then, and were k nown to be, causes, of which variations in the ag • g res t ate of prices were effieqs—is it known to be so Dow ? Men of great ability and ( x p rience tell us, and not without reason, that the relation iu this re spect is frequently reversed—that variation s in prices a re most commonly the cause, and sariations in th e quantity of current money the effect. It w e i nqu i re what has :wide the difference, we In-1y soon be satis fi,d. Cleaely this—the introduction t 1 current paper instruments of making pas ments—nstruments w h ose quantity depends oft will, and whose power as currency depends on credit. If, therefore, the currency requir ing regulation is to have a practical definition, an d if the regulation, to be complete, must be extended to all its elements, it must exteutl to all those instru ments DON mentioned. All are active in increasing• the disorder, affecting by their ever-varying quanti ties and powers prices and exchanges, and requiring for the maintenance of convertibility, and the pro tection of trade and commerce, a thorough reforma tion. The currency, which used to be and ought to be itself the regulator, Lox re quires regulation. As a barometer of prices it is no longer a faithful guide. Its sariations, with respect to prices, are alternately causes and effects ; what then can be expected but that, as an index, it should be false, and that, as en instra milt of regulation, it should work confusion ? To maker the worst of a bad case, a part, a comparatively tiny part, is taken for the whole. According to this view, a complete enumeration of the currency would include all current coina of the realm, being current in the realm, that is to say, exclusive of bank reserves and private hoards ; all negotiable bank notes actually in circula ' tien, i. e., neither hoarded nor in any bank ; all checks on bankers not in any bank ; lastly, all negotiable bills of exchange, inland or foreign, being current in the king dom, i. c., not held as mere securities, but in the bands of parties who habitually use them for making payments. If bills are much less active and powerful as currency than are bank notes, so also, in general, are coins and checks much more active than either. The best account that can be had will confessedly ho bad, but it must be b;td indeed if net better than none. And now we ask the public one plain question. Can a currency such as that abovc mentioned, consisting of elements so various, so inter changeable, so different in character and power ; some so steady in their motions, sonic so slow ; some so rapid, some so fitful ; the greater part so much depending on pri vate credit, on civil tranquillity, on political and commer cial prospects—can such a currency, by all the art and power of man, be so managed as that prices shall not be unsteady ? as that convertibility shall not be fre quently in danger ? as that con m r .c shall nut be a speculation, and speculation a game at hazard ? Men of sense may rack their brains, and men without brains may rage and be confident! but if ever there come help from this disorder it must be by other means than a mere regulation. 11. M.
