They so perfectly reiemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change col ur or Cecay, 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 reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible.

Grimstone, of the n ll e gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenera , o , • i pletely restored the h a i r on h er b ead, a f ter us i n g itabout tour months, and the whole of h er h a i r i s much stronger an d me re luxuriant I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of 'Mr. G.'s Ilegenatw, 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 perieoce, not only in the restoration and produoilon of hair in ahund auce, but a. a cure of nervous heanache; as a toilet perfume it is far 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 lxicoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a less' drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair front coining away with the comb, make it strong, and ,revert it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush hinort brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causin g it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the siost aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing xiour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion tr‘lict.

EGYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY THURSDAY Next, May 20. The most EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION of ABORIGINES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed in Liverpool by the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler, and will be EXHIBITED, for the first time, at the EGYPTIAN HALL, Piccadilly. on THURSDAY. TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSIESMAN er BUSH TitIBE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that, from their wild habits, could never before be induced to visit a place of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the man of science and the student in zoology bas only been obtained by great personal exertion on the part of the gentlemen who have brought them to England, at an immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe a baby was born at sea, thus adding to the great interest that must le excited by their appearance. From the Liverpool Journal :--"Bosiesmans, or Bush People, from Southern Africa—lnteresting specimens of a most extraordinary race of human beings have been landed in our port; they are the Bosjes mans, or Bush People from the interior of South Africa, of which so mach has been written by the missionaries, and the few who have travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country border ng the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1.400 riles from Cape Town. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intellectual or higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of humanity, the Baboon, while the preponderance of the animal is al most equally as great. In every respect they are calculated to excite the greatest astonishment, and to confirm to the full those " Tales of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon with swicion. We could scarcely have credited that such a race could be in existence on the earth. That they are genuine no one can doubt ; in proof of which we give the following extract from a Cape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have just re • ceived We understand the bri; Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which recently left Table Bay for Liverpool, had on board an unusual kind of exportation, viz., twe males and two females of the genuine Bush man species; they are In charge of a Mr. J. G. R. Bishop, who has been at considerable trouble and expense in procuring them B•om the interior. They are authentic specimens of this diminutive and ra pidly decreasing tribe of Aborigines, found only in Southern Africa. For particulars of the habits and disposition of the Itosjesmans, see Professor Leichtensteln's, Barchell's, Campbell's, Backhouso's, Methune's, and Moffatt's Travels in South Africa.

BAHIA. STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.—Tuesday there was a general meeting of the shareholders of this concern, at the office in Bucklersbury. Charles Sander son, Esq., took the chair. Mr. Kearzey, the solicitor, said that, on the 17th of December last, a resolution was passed for the dissolution of the company, according to the deed of settlement, and under the 57 th clause a second general meeting was necessary for confirming such resolution. The Chairman regretted that so much time had been lost without having effected any sale of their remaining property in the Brazils. The resolution was eventually confirmed. This unfortunate speculation has cost the shareholders about 60,0001., and would have involved them cogsiderably more but for the foresight and determination eZ the present directors of the company. ARRIVAL or RARE BIRDS .—A pair of those beau tiful and rare birds, the Im aver; pheasant (hophornis impey anus) from the HimalayaPilountains, have been brought over by Captain Watt, 6th Bengal 'Light Cavalry; they arrived in the ship Alfred, and were yesterday deposited in the Royal Surrey Zoological G ar d ens. - Nothing can exceed the beauty of these birds, the male in particular. Larger than any pheasant, the colours of the male are dazzling to look on. They are the first ever brought alive to this country, and must prove an object of great attraction. ELOPEMENT IN HIG H LIFE IN PARlS.—Certain unfortunate disclosures were lately made upon the trial for settlements in the affair of Madame Charles Lafitte, the banker's wife, who, acting as the French choose to call it, a la Anglaise, has deserted her husband and family, and thrown herself into the arms of her lover, to the horror and scandal of French society, where such an event as this never occurs, and where outward decorum at least is preserved even when disorder and dissolution of marriage ties have long crept in. The fair lady in question has caused some little rumour in her day, as she was one of the most fashionable of all the fantastic lionises of Paris. Her maiden name was Coningham, and although no longer young, she is still in the possession of great beauty. FESTIVAL OF TILE SO/QS OF THE CLERGY.—Yes terday evening his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury gave a grand banquet at the Palace, Lambeth, to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Sec., and other supporters of the distinguished institution.

When presented to the Queen, to the Duchess of Orleans, and the Count de Paris, the face of Bou Maza expressed lively emotion, and he said to the latter, " If you go to Algeria I hope you will permit me to present my • self before you, and when Heaven shall have raised you higher than now you are, forget not - that it is as a friend that I have come to the French." On quitting the palace be went to the Chapel St. Ferdinand, and on seeing the picture repre senting the royal Family weeping over the death bed of the Duke o f Orleans, he cried " Death is glorious when one is thus regretted !" On Monday evening lieu Maza was presented to the Duke de Montpender, at Vincennes.

On Monday morning last, at the Borough Sessions, Manchester, a somewhat important case was tried, that of John Cleveland, who was charged on one indictment with stealing notes to the amount of 2701. the property of Henry Graves; and, on another, with attempting to steal the same notes. The prisoner, a young man of unassuming appearance, had been classed by rumour as one of the swell mob, though his appearance indicated rather to the contrary. Some sensation was created in court by the appearance, for the defence, of Mr. Ballantine, whose frequent suc cessful advocacy at the Old Bailey, for criminals there indicted, has rendered his name so well known through out the country. Mr. Pollock conducted the prosecu tion: Mr. Peter Burke being joined with Mr. Ballantine in the defence. The facts of the case were these :—The prosecutor, Graves, went to the bank of Messrs. Jones, Lloyd, and Co., there to change a cheque of 271/., and got two notes for 1001., one for 50/., and one for 20/. ; these notes, having examined them, he folded up and put them into his coat pocket, in which were a pair of gloves, a knife, and a piece of ivory. He was in the act of taking the remainder of the change from the counter, when he felt a pull at his coat, and heard the rattle in his pocket of the piece of ivory. This at once attracted his attention, and in turning round he saw the prisoner close to him, with his hand close to the pocket in which the notes had been put. One of the gloves was banging out of the pocket, and in the prisoner's hand were the notes and other glove together. The prisoner pushed back the notes into the pocket again, and then Graves caught him by the collar, on which he said, " I beg your par don." The prisoner, on being charged with the rob bery, pulled out a number of sovereigns and spread on the counter; that showed that he had money, though he had not received them at the bank, nor had he transacted any business there on that day. After he put the sovereigns on the table he went out in a great hurry, and as he left he was heard to say something about fetching somebody to speak to his character and to make all right ; but ho was fol lowed out and taken at a public-house. On these facts Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Burke contended that there was not such a removal of the property as to constitute lar ceny, aud the Recorer being of the same opinion, after hearing Mr. Pollock d in reply, directed an acquittal for the felony. Mr. Ballantine then traversed the charge of misde meanor to the next sessions, and thus the matter rests. t —Manchester Courier. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT IN THE STRAND.—Thurs day afternoon an accident of a most distressing character occurred in the Strand, near Wellington street, to a person named Carr, living at No. 4, Knightrider-court, Doctors'- came up at a coramons, who, it seems, was proceeding along and endeavour ing to cross the road, when a horse and gig ,harp pace, and before be could get out of the way was k no cked down , an d sustained a broken le g , with such other injuries as to render his recovery very dubious, He Ras re moved to.tile Charing-CM Hospital. FIRE ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. Yesterday afternoon, shortly before 1 o'clock, con siderable confusion was caused upon the Great Western Railway, in the immediate vicinity of Hanwell, about seven miles from London, by the following occurrence: —From inquiries made on the spot it appeared that some time after the 12 o'clock down train had passed the Hanwell station, smoke was to be seen issuing in dense bodies from the bridge which crosses the Ux bridge-road. An instant alarm was raised, and infor mation of the fact was dispatched to London. Before, however, any one had time to get down the centre of the bridge, it burst forth, into a general blaze. The various hands employed at the Southall and Ea'ing stations went to the spot, and did all they possibly could to get the fire subdued, but it having previously worked into the bars and joistings cross they were unable, for a long time, to do more than keep the flames from mount ing into the air. Whilst they were thus engaged the I o'clock down train came along, but it was not allowed to get near the bridge, and was detained some distance on the line. After much trouble the fire was extinguished, but not until the bridge was burned through, and so injured that no train could pass over it either on the up or down lines. This of course caused the utmost confusion and delay; persons who wanted to get to London were obliged to wait until the down trains came along, and then they were shifted from the up trains to the down-trains, the space between being performed on foot. This took up considerable time, and i most of the passengers, upon reaching Paddington, found that they were nearly an hour and a half behind their proper time. It is, however, exceedingly fortunate that the discovery was so opportunely made; had it not been perceived before the arrival of the one o'clock train, which does not stop at the station, it is quite probable that the weight of the engines and carriages would have forced the bridge in. Up to ten o'clock last evening, although an immense number of men had been employed all the day, the bridge was not sufficiently repaired to allow the trains to pass over, and the: passengers were then obliged to be shifted from one train to another. it, was, however, expected :that before midnight the Ilse would he perfectly clear. How the fire originated is a mystery; some of the officials are of opinion that it might have been caused by a piece of burning coke falling from the engines of the twelve o'clock down train, while others say it was the work of an incendiary. The bridge was little more than twenty.five feet wide, by eighteen or twenty feet long; the loss, therefore, is not of a serious character. COURT CIRCULAR.

DESTRUCTIVB FIRE IN THE GoSWELL-ROAD.— Last night, at a few minutes before eleven o'clock, the ex tensive premises belonging to Messrs. Hill and Son, whole sale ironmongers, No. 94, Goswell-road, were discovered to be on fire. In the course of a few minutes the parish engines of Islington and Clerkenwell arrived, followed by others of the London brigade from Whitecross- street, Watling-street, and Jeffrey-square stations, with Mr. Braidwood, the superintend en t. Two escapes of the Royal Society for rrotectiou of Life from Fire were also on the spot. Not a moment was lost in geting the engines to work, but such a strong hold had the fire already obtained, that before a drop of water could be thrown, the whole of the upper floors had become ignited, and for some time it was feared that the conflagration would extend to the adjoining houses, and it was nearly one o'clock thi s morning before the fire was entirely extin guised. The whole of the furniture, &c., in the upper rooms was destroyed, the building from the first floor gutted, and the stock in trade and remainder of premises extensively damaged. The origin of the fire is wrapped in mystery. It could not be learned whether or not the property was insured, as Mr. and Mrs. Hill were both at Gravesend at the time of , the outbreak. INSTITorioN o,p--6 - ig EN . GINEK iRSee"--TUESDA. Sir JOHN RENNiu t President, in the Chair. The paper read was, "An Account of the Sarah Sands, and other iron vessels, with direct acting auxiliary engines and screw-propellers," by John Grantham, of Liverpool, Assoc. Inst. C.E. The object of the paper was to show that a propeller might be constructed of such dimensions that the number of revolutions it would require to make in order to obtain a high velocity would not much exceed that of the ordinary paddle-wheel, and that hence the usual marine condensing engine might be applied direct to the propeller-shaft without the inter vention of a secondary motion. It appeared from the statements in the paper that this opinion was found to be correct, and that " Woodcroft's" expanding pitch screw propeller was the best form that had hitherto been em ployed. In a paper read to the institution upwards of three years since, Mr. Grantham gave his views on this subject, and several vessels had been since built, the re sults of the trials of which were communicated to the meeting. The principal of these were the Emerald and Diamond, three-masted steamers of 300 tons, and 60-horse power; the Nautilus, of the same dimensions; the Antelope, of 600 tons, and 100 power ; and the Sarah Sands, of 1,000 tons, and 180-horse power. D raw i ngs of these vessels were exhibited to the meeting. The capabilities and performance of these vessel: were described in the paper, but particular notice was taken of the last-named vessel, which had performed a most suc cessful:voyage to Now York during bad weather and adverse winds. The passages made by the ordinary New York liners, which were out at the same time, were very long, averaging 48 days each, and the Boston and Liverpool steamers were much longer than usual on their passage. The Sarah Sands used her steam about 17 days and sailed the remainder, making her voyage in 20 days 10 hours. On her arrival she had about enough fuel remaining for four days' steaming. The paper did not enter minutely into particulars of the screw itself, as it was considered that too much attention had been given to that branch of the subject, to the exclusion of the con sideration of the plans for working it, which, after all, had been the stumbling-block to the general adoption of the system. It was necessary with the screw, the theory of which as a propeller was so little understood, to pro ceed with experiments perseveringly in one direction, as variations in the results were frequently attributed to causes which really did not exist. After describing several interesting details, the paper concluded by ex pressing a desire that eng in eers should examine the drawings of the system laid before the meeting, and endeavour to add to the stock of information already obtained. After the paper was read, Mr. Grantham added some fadts which he had recently gathered, and which strongly confirmed what had been stated. The Diamond had recently made a very rapid to "'Madeira, deeply laden ; but daring the e passage the engines maintaine a very moderate speed, and quite removed the impression that under such circum stances they would run too fast from their being con nected directly to the screw. An account of the last successful voyage outwards of the Sarah Sands was also given. and it appeared that, in spite of most se vere gales, which bad driven back almost all other vessels, her passage had been made in the most satisfac tory manner. In the discussion which followed several engineers of eminence expressed themselves much pleased with the facts brought forward in the paper, and perfectly con curred with the views put forth. The principle of the following current of the ship, which had a material in fluence in increasing the efficiency of the screw, was alluded to, and a conviction was expressed that the screw would eventually supersede all other means of propelling vessels on long voyages. An account was given also of the auxiliary serew.steamers that ply between London and Rotterdam, and some interesting l'acts were given of the power which these vessels possessed of working to windward in bad weather. The subject was closed by It discussion upon several points that had been started re lative to the size of the screw, the mode of disengaging it, and the prospects which were held out of the final success of the principle. The subject will be renewed at the next meeting, on Tuesday, June 1, when the following paper will be read:—" An account of the iron barque Josephine, of Liverpool," by Captain Masters. .It was announced that there would not be any meeting on Whit-Tuesday.

The following arrivals of cattle, provisions, and grain, took place at the port of London on Monday, the enumeration of which will be of exceeding interest to the general public, as well as to those more immediately concerned in the importation and traffic of such produc tions at the present time:—The Attwood, frcm Rotter dam, brought 71 oxen and cows, 8 calves, and 224, sheep; the B elloaa, from Graveli nes, 1 31 packages of eggs; the V ictorine, from Caen, 150 eases of eggs; the Poule, from Cherbour g , 183 cases of eggs; the Konig via Von Schoneden, from Wolgast, 1,200 bags of wheat; the Mentor, from Dantzic, several hundreds of hams; the Ocean, from Rotterdam, 162 casks of butter, 13 baskets of cucumbers, some of fish, 53 of yeast, 71 of cheese, and other articles; the Zealous, from Charles ton, 2,300 quarters of paddy, or rice in the husk; the Lins, from Wolgast, 1,200 quarters of wheat; the Magnet, from Harlingen, 1,940 casks of butter, 150 casks of cheeses, 13 horses, 137 cows, 27 calves, 110 sheep, 9 packages of poultry, 3 of eggs, and 334 bags of potatoes; the Rapid, from Rotterdam, 71 cows, 6 calves, 271 sheep, 8,000 cheeses, 296 bales of seed, several packages of butter, fish, and other productions; the City of London, from Rotterdam, 274 casks of butter, 2,798 of cheese, 55 oxen and cows, several packages of hams, fish, poultry, &c.; the Oxenbirg, from Aarhuns, 450 quarters of oats, and 230 quarters of barley; the Neptune, from Gravelines, 243 cases of eggs; the Winchester, from Launceston, Van Diemen's Land, 890 bags of wheat ; the Niemepemnen, from Dantzic, 1,600 quarters of wheat; the Laurine Ma thilde, from Illiddlefauht, 480 quarters of barley; the Jane Smith, from Stettin, 750 quarters of barley; the Ceres, also from Stettin, 800 quarters of wheat; the Princess Royal, from Hamburgh, 304 casks of butter, 58 oxen, 20 casks of flour, 33 bales of bacon, 488 bags of wheat, several of tongues, perk, seed, and other articles; the John Troughton, from Alexandria, 2,000 quarters of beans; the Rattler, from Hobart Town, 286 bags of wheat, the Twa Brodre, from Wadewalla (Sweden), 500 quarters of oats and 160 of seed; the Maidstone, from Calcutta, 2,752 packages of rice; the ' Agnette Kirstine, from Aarhuns (Denmark), 320 quar ters of wheat and 170 of oats; the lioffnung, from Stettin, 1,255 quarters of NN heat ; and the Charlotte, from Dantzic, 1,302 quarters of peas. The whole of these arrivals took place at the port of London alone, as before stated, in one day, and the several articles in cluded in the list are, it need scarcely be stated, either entirely free, or subject to very trifling rates of duty on importation into this country. The arrivals of butter from Holland have lately been very extensive, mu ch more so than was formerly the case, and every possible privilege is conceded in order that these articles of food may be admitted into the markets without delay. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS. The number of deaths registered in the London dis tricts last week were 278, or males, 512 ; females, 466. Births, 1,327, or males, 668 ; females, 659. Meteoro logical observations taken at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich•—barometer, mean height, 29.005 ; ther mometer, highest, 68.0 ; lowest, 45.1 ; mean, 56.1 ; general direction of the wind, S.S.W., with a maximum pressure of 3.5 lbs. on the square foot ; mean amount of cloud, 6.8; sums of rain, 0.54 inches. . , In the quarterly report which appeared in February last, apprehension was expressed that scurvy may break out among the people of this country. The necessity of precautionary measures was also adverted to in the fol lowing terms.— "ly, the physician to the Milbank Penitentiary, showed some time ago that scurvy was very prevalent in prisons from the dietaries of which potatoes were ex cluded, and did not exist where potatoes were used. The potato contains a small quantity of a vegetable acid, in combination with potash (bitartrate of potash, or cream of tartar). It is certain that scurvy, which Wag formerly common, has almost disappeared since the potato entered largely into the food of the population. If, now that the potato has grown scarce, this disease, characterised among other symptoms by swollen bleeding gums, again become prevalent, its simple prophylactics should be had recourse to." Although no deaths have yet been directly ascrib ed to scurvy in London, the di s e ase , it i s now as certained,ed has appeared in many parts of the country. Several cases, too, have shown themselves at the London h°6" pitals. Under these circumstances the followifollowingprac tical suggestions of Dr. Baly deserve the attention of the public. The poorer classes particularly should be properly informed on the subject. Where green vegetables and lime juice cannot be procured, a weak acidulated drink of cream of tartar and sugar may be tried ; for it is the presence of the former salt which probably renders the potato antiscorbutic. " It cannot be doubted," says Dr. Baly, " that the prevalence of scurvy at the present time amongst the poor in Scotland, some parts of England, and even i n London, is owing to the scarc it y of ve g etables, a nd especially of that kind of vegetable which alone the poor can usually obtain in quantity adequate for the preserva tion of health—namely, potatoes. The want of potatoes, as I have shown elsewhere, was the cause of t h e a ppearance of scurvy in many prisons and other public institutions at former periods. The potato being now so scarce, other articles of diet have been sub stituted for it. The article substituted has been for the most part some cheap kind of grain, as Indian corn, rice, grain barley, peas, or has But the f arinaceous food b :o ans. antiscorbutic property. It has made oats, from been necessary, therefore, to supply this flavouring the farinac eous f oo d with limei s d efect . by juice, the great prophylactic against scurvy in the navy ; or to ( combine with th e f oo d some f res h vege t a bl e , suc h as turnips Swed es ), carrots, cabbages, onions, cress. and mustard. Both these measures, when tried, have- been successful. " A small quantity of lime juice would be sufficient to give antiscorbutic properties to the rice, meal, or Indian corn, toed used by the poor, or an acidulous drink might be made with it. In ,either way it would be an efficacious, and, I think, an economical preventive of the disease. Its use might be introduced with great advan tage into workhouses and amongst the out-door poor. " The fresh vegetables I have named could seldom be procured by the poor themselves in sufficient quantity, they might use plants whi c h g bu ro t w so w m i e ld ti , msueeshPaesrthhaPsecOmmon water-cress and scurvy ' grass. These are powerful antiscorbutics, and most edible green vegetables, especially those which have an ac id tas t e , possess the same properties. .. The important point, however, seems to be, that the 5 i poor and the guardians of ;the poor should be instructs that farinaceous foods, made of grain or meal of an kind, will not alone serve as substitutes for potatoe that either some green vegetable ar succulent root must e be eaten with them; or the deficieut itlatilc9aPtic prow PeltY lit Tplied with lime juice."
