HOWARD, surgeon-Dentist, 62 , Fleet -11. street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI FICIAL TEETH Axed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found 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 the reach of the most econo mical, he has fixed the charges at the lowest scale possible.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, were very limited, and the show of samples was, consequently, trifling. As the attendance of buyersfell off, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled inactive. In prices, however, no quotable change took place, compared with Monday. The show of foreign wheat was rather extensive. Im porters generally were tolerably firm ; but the business doing was very moderate at late rates. There was a large supply of both English and foreign barley on offer. The trade ruled heavy, and prices were with difficulty supported. Malt was in fair request, at full quotations. The show of hands was good, and the inquiry was less active, on former terms. Beans, peas, and flour sold at Monday's currency. ARRIVALS TIM WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

HOLLAND AND ANOTHER. The plaintiff is an Irish labourer, and the defendant an extensive builder, and the action was brought to recover damages for injuries sustained owing to the rotten state of some scaffolding. It appeared that the defendants were engaged on St. Helen's Canal, Bays• water, the plaintiff being a labourer employed on the works, and it was his duty to carry hods of bricks up a ladder 20 feet high. Some remarks had been made amongst the men relative to the state of the ladder in question, and they had threatened to " strike against it," and they had called the foreman bricklayer's attention to its state. On the 24th June, when plaintiff was nearly at the top it broke and 113 fell with his bricks to the ground. He was picked up insensible and taken to the hospital where it was found he had fractured his ribs and injured his face and chest He was unable to work for 14 or 15 weeks. The defen dants bad refused him compensation. The defence urged by Mr. Huddlestone, Q C., was that the defendalits were not liable ; they used every precaution by the examination of the materials to pre vent injury, and that therefore the action was not maintainable; had their attention been specially directed to the ladder by the men, it would have been again examit ed. Lord Campbell directed the jury to return a venlict for the defendants, on the ground of non-liability, with leave to move the Court to set aside the verdict, and the jury also assessed the damages at 25/ , in the eve►,t Of the Court ever ruling the learned Lord's ruling. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Stuart and Mr. Justice Cress welt.) MAIISIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTEU-BROCE V. DROOL This important case stood, this morning, first on the list, for the purpose of Justice Creasman expressing his opinion, and the Vice-Chancellor deliv%ring judgment. Mr. Justice Cresswell, after citing at great length a number of cases, said he was of opinion that the mar riage between William De Brook and Amelia Armitage, which was celebrated in Holstein, altbough a valid marriage by the law cf that country was not valid in England. Vice-Chancellor Stuart expressed his obligations to Mr. Justice Cresswell, and said, notwithstanding the opinion just expressed, he was not prepared at the pre sent moment to decide the case. It must stand over for further consideration. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn.) MULES •. TAW:TRAY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a minor, against the defendant, a gin distiller, to recover damages for the loss of his arm, through the alleged misconduct of the defendant's servants. It appeared from the evi. denca of the plaintiff that he is the eon of a cow keeper, carrying on business in Southampton-street, Fitzroy-square. On the 7th of August, his father was &lain; him in a spring cart along Fleet-street, and when opposite Anderton a Hotel, owing to the negli gence of the defendant's clrman the cart was brought into colli6ion with an omnibus passing in an opposite direction ; the shafts of the cart were broken and the plaintiff was thrown out, the wheel of the waggon which was leaded with hogsheads of spirits, passed over his arm and cut it off. Tce defendant pleaded not guilty. A number of witnesses were called on both sides, and the evidence was of a conflicting character, as is usual in such cases. The jury ultimately returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, 600/. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE REDPATH-Tlir GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY FRAUDS-JUDGMENT. His Honour this morning gave judgment on a claim made by the Great Northern Railway Company to prove for a sum of 221,0001. against the estate of the ab >ve bankrupt. The case was very fully argued a few days since. The claim was made by the company under au Act of Parliament passed last session. His Hon our referred at some length to the facts c fleeted with the frauds committed by Redpath, which are already well known. His Honour said that it bad been stated, but it was not given in evi dence, that all the creditors who bad proved their debts bad been either paid in full or in part by the company. The debts proved at present amounted to 6,0661., but other creditors might come in, and he had to consider whether the company could come in to prove as for a debt due to them, and reduce the dividend from 20s. to 4s. or se. in the pound. _ _ . Mr. Lawra*ce ea'd that if evidence of the settlement war necessary it could be given. .4.94Q14,P# 4 14-4+.4 p 3 th. Lus4ter.l.nl4 he carried elsewLers, h• would as it stood on the proceedings. In the first place, he should consider whether, before the passing of the act, the company would have been entitled to pr, ye against the estate as for a debt due to them by Reclpatti—he was clearly of opinion that they could not. He referred to the case of Fauntleroy, but is that case it was dis tinctly sworn that the money was had and received to and for the use of Mrs. Fauntleroy. He then discussed the clauses of the ant, and ultimately sail that he consi dered that the Legislature just left it where they found it, and it was now sought to do by inference what the Legislature might have done distinctly, by allowing it to be a debt. He therefore considered that the proof could not be admitted. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Brevet-Major C. E. Oldershaw, Royal Artillery, is ap pointed aide-de-camp to Major-General Lawrence, C. 8., commanding the 3d infantry brigade at Aldershot. Captain the Hon. C. G. Elliot has been appointed a na val aide-de-camp to her Majesty, vice Captain Hope, who has obtained flag rank by the demise of Admiral T. Le M. Gosselin. Yesterday morning a detachment of the 94th Regiment, numbering 21 non-commissioned officers and men, left Chatham garrison for Plymouth, to join the head-quarters of that regiment under orders to proceed to India by the overland route. Col. H. Sandham, Director of the Royal Engineers' Establishment, Chatham, has received orders to hold in readiness the Bth company of the Royal Sappers and Miners, under the command of Capt. W. F. Lambert. for service in India. One captain, 1 subaltern, 1 assistant-surgeon, and 80 gunners and drivers of the Royal Artillery will embark this day on board the Peninsular and Oriental Company's royal mail steamship Indus for Alexandria, whence they are ordered to proceed overland to Bombay and Madva.. The Leopold, steamship, with the detachments of troops before reported, left Spithead yesterday for Queenstown, to take in more, and thence proceeds to Kurrachee. The Caesar, 91, screw steam-ship, at Portsmouth, pre paring for commission, has her lower rigging over the mast heads, and was removed from dock into the steam basin yesterday afternoon. The Spitfire steam vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Camp• bell, went into Portsmouth harbour yesterday to have defects repaired. The Curacoa, 31, Captain Mason, just commissioned at Portsmouth, embarked her complement of Royal Marine Artillery yesterday. The Serpent, 12, was docked yesterday at Portsmouth to have defects repaired. The steam-ship General Williams, which sailed on Tues day for the Cape of Good Hope, put back to Plymouth Sound yesterday morning. The steam transport Euxine, embarked the third divi sion of the 69th Regiment on Wednesday, for Madras, via Alexandria. The Cuckoo, 3, paddlewheel steamer, Lieutenant-Com mander A. .E. Murray, which ran ashore and became filled with water, remains in the same position where she sank, between Chatham dockyard and the Gun-wharf, de fying all the efforts which have been made to raise her. During the greater part of Wednesday night and the whole of yesterday large parties of shipwrights and labourers from the dockyard were employed in getting chains placed under her keel, a work of considerabl difficulty, owing to the great depth of water in which the fore part of the steamer is sunk. A number of large lighters were yester day moored alongside to assist in raising her, but owing to the steamer being nearly filled with water it appears doubt ful whether they will succeed in removing her from her present position. A strong wind was blowing during the whole of yesterday, which somewhat retarded the opera tions made to raise her. The steamer, from the peculiar position in which she lies, is very much strained , and , it is thought, will be rendered altogether unfit for further ser vice from the injuries she has received. The Adder steamer was yesterday despatched to Sheerness for the diving bell and a large quantity of gear from that dockyard to be used in the attempts to raise the Cuckoo. Major-General Sir W. F. Williams, having partially recovered from the indisposition under which he has been recently suffering, yesterday resumed the duties of his de partmOut at Woolwich. Comu,Nander W. B. Urmston has been appointed an In specting liommander of the Coastguard. Lieutearoit Charles C. B. Dent is appointed to the Ra coon, and no to the Renown, as erroneously stated. PROFESSOR ZIAILLER ON ALoolloi..—On Monday night Professor Miller delivered the first of two lectures, at the request of the. Edinburgh Total Abstinence Society, on "The use of alcoholic drinks considered from a phy siological and medical point of view." The meeting took place in Queen-street Hai:, which was densely crowded. Professor Miller contended that the true place of alcohol was in the list of narcotic poisons—that it was valuable as a medicine under proper restrictions—that it bad no claim to be considered as food—and, lastly, that as a luxury it was unsafe, injurious ' and dangerously fasci nating. He concluded with a description of the perni cious effects of continued indulgence in tobacco, opium, and alcoholic beverages.—Scotsman. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —KIDNEY a, BLADDER, Ste.: Second Edition.

MURDER OF A CHILD AND SUICIDE or THE MOTHER. — On Wednesday and yesterday considerable sensation was caused in the vicinity of Victoria-park, Hackney, in con sequence of the suicide of a respectably dressed female named Elizabeth Chamberlain, aged 30 years, who destroyed the life of her infant son, aged three months, by drowning, under the following painful circumstances. It seems that the deceased was the wife of a chemist's assistant, residing at 36, Brunswick-street, Hackney road, and for some time past they had lived on unhappy terms, frequently quarrelling relative to their domes is affairs. On Tuesday last they had words, and the de ceased in a moment of excitement seized a knife, and attempted to cut her throat. She was prevented from com mitting the act, and subsequently another quarrel ensued, and the deceased said to her husband, "There are two children ; I will take one, and you can take the other" She left home on Wednesday about dinner-time, and between one and two o'clock she was seen to bo walking in the enclosure of Victoria Park with the infant in her arms. Shortly after Presto, one of the park-keepers, was Old by two young mee that a young woman Ilea ju t leaped into the water. Tue constable ran to the water, where he saw the body of a female floating face down - wards, and immediately rushed into the water, and suc ceeded in getting her on to the bank, when she was found to be dead. Yesterday morning, the husband, hearing of the circumstance, proceeded to the ti- ad house, and identified the deceased as his wife, and at the same moment he exclaimed, " Where is my chihl 1" He was informed that the infant had not been seen, when by his desire the constables connected with the park procured the drags, and repaired to the pond, and after a short time they succeeded in finding the body of the infant. A letter from Berlin of the 28th ult., in the Debats, says :—" Political matters are now cast into the background by the immense commercial calami ties of which all classes in Prussia, without ex ception, feel the deplorable effects. The capital in particular Las seen large fortunes, which were believed to be solidly established, unable to resist the crisis. It would be difficult, to euregister ex actly, owing to their great number, the bankrupt cies which take place daily in Berlin and in the provinces amongst traders of the first and second rank ; the wheat, oil, and spirit trades, are parti cularly affected.

Mr. Bright has addressed the following letter to Mr. Lloyd, the Chairman of his Birmingham Election Com mittee : " Rochdale, Dec. 2. "My dear Sir,—As Parliament, contrary to expectation, is about to meet before the usual time, I fear many of the electors of Birmingham will feel some disappointment if I do not make my appearance in the House during the pre sent week, and more so from the circumstance that my col league, Mr. Scholefield will also be absent. "It is not necessary for me to explain to you or to the gentlemen who communicated with me at the time of the election why I am not likely to begin my Parliamentary duties before Christmas. It was then understood that for 6 months— that is, until the time when Parliament isually assembles--I was not to be expected to undertale any labour connected with the position in which I wai then placed by the good opinion of the electors of Birminegam. My own judgment and the urgent advice of my frienls and medical advisers compelled me to make a resolutim to that effect, and those of my Birmingham friendswith whom I had any communication granted me a dispensa tion for that period.

The Prefect of the Seine lately, at the opening of the departmental commission, presented a report on the affairs of the city of Paris, and of the department. It is drawn ep in three divisions ; the first is declared to relate to the manner in which the levying of the direct taxes shall be divided between the city of Paris and the arrondissements of St. Denis ; but in reality it treats principally of the demolitions and building operations which have lately taken place in Paris, the following being an analysis of it :—The taxes on real and per sonal property, furniture, doors, and windows, which last year were 16,671,5151,, have now by the increase of new houses, deduction made of the revenue from houses demolished, risen to 17,126, 5 5 0 f., and next year that sum will from the same cause be increased to 17,465,4971. In 1355 the produce of these taxes was only 1 6,592,4191., so that the increase in three years has been 963,0781., and that increase shows not only that the new buildings in Paris have compensated the legs from demolitions of old ones, but have increased the itxinranutettic r hroo i te o eni tao u asifn s xzet e , oar s setth2 t i do: e oene r l I n o;R i rr be3:n a c loed t iyet d wirewemh i a h r The augmentation will be even yet larger, subjected d wne n termi na rs ted. will a t hi 6 h dl ae. .um ut e n ht Moreover,ufle nu s B e ft e n s u s 7 re i future e l p ' course el exempted tohhe 340,5741.ddee ff o h ru f o or ti t t c nh se e n t s ra s The report states that, in addition to the benefit de rived by the city, the development of building enter. prise during the last five years has increased the Go vernment revenue by at least 2 000,0001. a %ear, The report then gees on to say that the revenue from licenses 10 trade, which in 1855 was 9 679,598 f., is now 10,817,000., and that that increase is princi pally o eing to the is fluence which the impulse given to building has had on alt branches of trade. This increase in general business Las also, remarks the report, in creased the indirect taxes levied by thegovernmeut, and the registration duties paid to government by the city alone for sales of building ground amount to several millions. After some remarks on the various advantages produced by the improvements and embellishments effected in P,.ris by order of the glvernment, and on the spirit of enterprise in that way fostered, the report goes on to give genie detals respecting the demolitiots and new c-instructions iu Paris. It appears that from 1852 to 1856, 2,524 demolitions complete or partial were effected (1,517 of thein by the municipality and 1,007 by houseo veers themselves), and that 2,926 houses were built and 2,272 enlarged or raised, giving a total of 5,198. In 1157 the number of demoliti , ne total or par tial has been 447 (251 by the municipality and 196 by owners), and that the number o' houses built was 775-- of those enlarged 570 being a total of 1,345. In these figures houses actually terminated and occupied are only taken into account. In examining the new buildings by ,rrondieeement.=, it appears the in the poorer quarters of the city a larg.o. Humber of house, have been built than in the richer districts. Taus, in the Bth arrondiseetnent, which compri es the Marais and the Faubourg Saint Antoine, 226 houses were constructed or enlarged on an average each year from 1852 to 1855, and in the present year there have been 363, which are four-and-a -half times as many a> in the 2.1 arrondissement, and almost twice as many as the let, :hough the latter contains the Champs Elysees and the extensive eites.adjaceut. The number of houses built has, in the course of the present year, exceeded that of those demolished in every arron dissement, except the 6th, in which the opening of the Boulevard de Sebastopol has led to the demolition of the blocks of houses between the Rue de Rambutean and the Rue du Penceau. But even in that arrondisse ment, building has been carried on so actively that the hou-.es in course of c instruction almost equal those demolished. In the 11th arendiesement, more houses have been built than demolished, notwithstanding the works undertaken for improving the approaches to the Mont St. Michel, for the prolongation of the Boulevard de Sebastopol on the left bank of the river, for the for mation of the first section of the Boulevard St. Germain, and for the enlargement of the Palais de Justice and of the Prefecture of Police. The report then goes on to state that in thesuburbs of Paris, that is in the arrondis sements of St. Denis and Sceaux, the demolitions from 1852 to 1856 were 2,143, and in 1857 325—total, 2,468 ; and the new constructions 13,356, from 1852 to 1856, and 4,035 in ISs7—total, 17,391. The extraordinary number of new buildings in the suburbs beyond the octroi wall, far exceeding that in Paris, is ascrited by the report not so much to the desire of their occupants to escape the payment of octroi duties as to the fact that the means of communication with the centre of the town are, from the existence of large roads, very easy; whereas the unbuilt parts within the walls of Paris are in many cases separated from the centre by quarters full of nar row streets, and are, therefore, difficult of access. The advantage of escaping the octroi duty is represented by the report to be in general much exaggerated, inasmuch as the the local charges which people in the suburbs have to pay, and from which the population of Paris is exempt, are almost equal to the octroi dutis a paid by the latter. After remarking that the laying out of wide streets through the quarters alluded to will cause the parts in question to be built on, and will thereby reduce house rents, the report states that last year the total number of houses in Paris was 432,639, and that 5,743 of them were unoc cupied ; and it remark. that this shows that the demand for houses is not so great as it was, but that still the un occupied houses are not sufficiently numerous to pro duce an important diminution in rents. The document goes on to say that the floating population of Paris (foreigners and provincial-) which in 1852 was estima ted at 65,000 souls, is now calculated to be 150,000, and that the consequence of this is that now not fewer than 8,460 persons keep lodging-houses, or let furnished apart ments, whereas in 1852 the number who did so was only 5 380. This vast reoating Topulation reside, is said InTriuq---ry----------- rit,r0141 5 1 . - 7 - 3 -- - -,ra!b i t--0- - w - demand they create for lodginge, - corapel fleas persons who would reside there to go to an inferior quarter, the inhabitants of the latter to one still hiwer, and so on, until the population of the faubourge is affected. The remedy for this, says the report, is the cutting of new streets, so as to bring into use for building, sites now unoccupied. The report then notices the advantages which will be derived in the Bth arrondissement from the formation of the Boulevard du Prince Eugene, which is to run from the Chateau d'Eau to the Barriere du. Trone ; in the 12th arrondissement, from the formation of the Boulevard Saint Marcel, which is to go from the Boulevard Montparnasse to the Boulevard de l'Hopital, also from the prolongation of the Boulevard de Sebas topol ; and in the lot, 2d, and 10th arrondisse ments, from the formation of the Boulevards Males. heroes an I du Nord, and from large cuttings in the vicinity of the Pont de l'Alma, and in the vicinity of the Place de l'Etoile on both sides of the Champs Elysees. The next report, in order to show the extraordinary acti vity in the building trade, gives a return of the octroi duties paid on building materials introduced into Paris since 1851. In that year the amount was 2,372,1901. ; in 1852, 3,332,5231. ; 1853, 4,683,6861. ; 1854, 5,120,158 f.; . 1855, 5,374,171 f. ; 1856, 6,092,9841. ; and in 1557 it will be 6,476,632 f. The report observes that as owners of land and builders have generally but limited resources, it is desirable that the Cr6iit Poncier, which has begun to lend on mortgage in Paris, should extend its opera tions. The first part of the report concludes by recom mendations respecting the levying of the taxes, and what are called " the additional centimes." These matters are of no general interest. The second part of the report has cot been published, but is promised on an early day. NEW POST-OFFICE AT EDINDURGH.—Notioes have been published to the effect that the Board of Works intend to appiy to Parliament for power to purchase the Theatre royal, Edinburgh, and other buildings situate in Shakepeare-square, for the erection of a new post office. The present post-office, though not much above 30 years old, has of late years been found much too small for the great increase of business. It is built on a corner of the Calton rock, and extensions of the building have been carried to its verge, but it is still found to give inadequate accommodation. Tne theatre to be removed is one of the oldest buildings in the new town of Edin , burgh. The new post-office will stand vis-a-vis with the General Register House, and will be in the very centre of business in I he city. DESTRUCTION OF AN EXTENSIVE WORSTED MILL.— A. large factory, the property of Messrs. W. and H. Foster, worsted spinners and stuff manufacturers, at the moorland village of Denholooe, between Bradford and Halifax, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, was destroyed by fire on Saturday last. The building, which was situ ated at the base of a bill close to the high read, between Halifax and Keighley, was 150 feet long, 42 feet broad, and four st cried high, exclusive of the attic. The fire broke out a few minutes before six o'clock on Saturday morning, just as the workpeople, nearly 900 in number, were about to commence work. The mill was lighted throughout with gas, and the firs was first discovered in the attic. Some of the work men on proceeding to that room found one of the twisting-frames in a blaze, and one of them ran for & bucket of water to put out the fire, but the flames quickly extended from .frame to frame, until the whole were one mass of fire. Great efforts were made by the work men—for there was plenty of water in the reservoirs on the premises—to check the progress of the con flagration,• and steam valves, which were supplied to every room for the purpose of extinguishing fire, wore opened ; but all was in vain. The fire was communi cated from room to room, and by half-past seven—long before which the roof had fallen in—the whole building was enveloped in one huge sheet of fire, which lighted up pus til ia)ae e stlei s tf tl aa : cx : le o ba u un n otd d f i surround ing they yei terriblelnlis were e for ag d r aomrnf reached a n e cu y hrmiles,erci comparatively tFh a v n es d p o tprese nted spectacle of terr ibl e grandeur.

The engine -house connected with the mill was saved, as were also a large building, nearly adjoining the one destroyed, called " the new mill," and some warehouses well stocked with wool, tops, pieces, &c. The origin of the fire has not been ascertained, but it is supposed to have been in some way connected with the gas with which the mill p wa , rstiloignhotfed. which, Th however, eivsere,sitsimcaotveedroel2 b O rt , 0 0i O n O as I z . r , sc l oe a so r_ge namely, in the Scottish "Union, 5 9 d, 2,0001.;_ y Leeds and The mill, contrary s E t l r 7 i n e g7 t 1 , 5850 : 21 'a s working full time, toU nYorkshire ,t i n t a y n , y 3, i 7 n 5 1 11 0 e. 0; worsted 7.; Nest t o total, a o dl f i hands Other ha ve 3()or chiefly e f fi e y m w pl o o o y l .. and nien tat by yeastt conflagration.oOh6e embers, will proba bl y g et work throu g h Messrs .
