DAILY ATTENDANCE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. MONS. MALLAN, SURGEON DENTIST, of the firm Of Messrs. JAMES M. and S. MALLAN, No. 10, Lud gate hill, London. A NEW DISCOVERY IN ARTIFICIAL TEETH, FIXED WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR LIGATURES. SCURVY IN THE GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED. LOOSE TEETH FASTENED. And Filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Succedaneum. Mons. JAMES M. and S. MALLAN, Surgeon Dentists,. respectfully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Esta blishment, permanently, at No. 29, BOLD-STREET , o pp osite the Concert Room, where Mons. Mallen may be consulted DAILY throughout the year. They continue to fill up the cavities of Decayed Teeth with their Mineral Succedaneum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, :preventing and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further progress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well-known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and it Is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so affected, Mons. JAMES M. and S. MALLAN have to inform them, that they. can effectually remove this destructive com plaint by.a single application, without the slightest pain. Mons. MALLAN begs to introduce to the notice of his Patients and the Public, an entire new description of IN CORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL TEETH, and with con fidence guarantee them to answer every purpose of Mastics. tion and Articulation, and defy detection from the closest observer. They never change colour or break, as those now used, are fixed without wires or ligatures, and have no un pleasant odour or unnatural gloss. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will give support and preserve Teeth that are loose. Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age , disease,. or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied. Artificial Teeth out of repair, r emo d e ll e d to f i t the mouth, . and restored equal beauty and du ra bili ty to the i r or i g i nal state. Attendance from Nine till Six. *** For the convenience of country patients, Messrs. JAMES M. & S. M ALLAN are enabled t o fi x a partial or complete set of Teethat one sitting, without the least pain or inconvenience. Invalids attended at their Residences, by giving two days' notice.

Gentlemen,-1 beg to submit to you the following report of the state of the works now in operation : No. 1, oil. ARDWICK CONTRACT. The long embankment at the commencement of this con tract is going on well ; locomotive power being now employed to transport the earth for its formation. The brick retaining walls are completed, and the occupation bridges are in an advanced state from the Pottery-lane to the Stockport canal. The aqueduct which passes the railway under this canal is finished, and a single line of permanent road is laid for three quarters of a mile in length from this point. A considerable quantity of spoil cutting has been disposed of west of " Trail Dogs." No. 2, OR NEWTON CONTRACT. A length of half a mile at the westerly end of this contract has been formed ready to receive the ballast for the permanent way. The only work of consequence on this portion of the line is the Tame valley embankment, which is being carried forward from each end, a temporary bridge having been erected over the Peak Forrest canal to avoid the stoppage which would otherwise have taken place until the permanent bridge was finished. The masonry on this contract is in a very advanced state. Nearly a mile has been formed and balasted at Duckinfield, for the permanent road, which will very shortly be laid at that place. No. 3, OR HATTERSLEY CONTRACT. A good deal of work has been executed on this length since my last report. The viaduct at Mr. Turner's is ready for receiving the centres, the piers being all up to the springing level. The arches across the turnpike road at Godley are finished, and the embankment at that place is in active pro gress. The spoil cutting at Hattersley presents an animated picture from the number of men employed there. The Hat tersley tunnel, from the large quantity of water and quick sand has only been worked from one shaft. A side drift is, however, in progress, which will remove this difficulty, and we will shortly be enabled to advance here more rapidly. The retaining walls opposite to Harewood Lodge are also in progress. No. 4, OR ETHEROW VIADUCT. Since my last report this viaduct has been let to Messrs. Henry and Co., and consisted of four stone arches. In con sequence of the opposition of the lessee of the land upon which one.of the piers was to have been placed, it is thought probable that the design of this bridge may be altered to one which will span across the ground in dispute. If this be the case a timber structure upon stone piers will be the cheapest and most expeditious mode of obviating the difficulty—no time will be lost in getting this matter settled. 5, OR GAMELY CONTRACT The embankments at each end are going on favourably from the cutting in the centre. This is a short contract and almost entirely earthwork. SUMMIT TUNNEL The works at the summit are now in a much more favour able position than they have been. In the western driftways a bed of shale has been entered upon, and it is expected to continue for some distance. No. 1 shaft has been delayed in consequence of an accident which happened to the engine there. It has at length, how ever, been put right, and the sinking recommenced. We have been much delayed by Water at all the other shafts, but they are nevertheless steadily progressing, every precaution having been taken to keep out the various springs. The eastern driftways in consequence of the rock being more open are advancing rapidly. In conclusion, I have much pleasure in stating that the works are going on very satisfactorily, and that much acti vity is displayed on all the contracts. I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, ALFRED S. JEE. Dinting Vale, Feb. 16, 1841. Examined and approved, JOSEPH LOCKE.

SHEFFIELD, ASHTON-UNDER-LINE, AND MAN CHESTER RAILWAY. REPORT TO THE GENERAL MEETING, 17M Feb? nary, 1841. DURING the time which has elapsed since the General Meeting in August, the Directors have been actively engaged in forwarding the execution of the works then an nounced as contracted for, which, with the Etherow Viaduct, now also under contract, completes the letting to Glossop. Although extending over only eleven miles on the rails, these works contain more than one-half of the earthwork of the whole line, and the contractors are proceeding rapidly with them, for the purpose of opening about eight miles to the crossing of the Hyde and Mottram Turnpike Road in September next, (which will accommodate the traffic of Mottram, Godley, Hyde, Newton, Dukinfield, Stalybridge, and Ashton,) and the remainder of the line to Glossop in the spring of 1842. The tunnel works are steadily and satis factorily progressing, details of which, and of the state of the whole of the works under contract, will be found in the Report of the Engineer. The directors being anxious to give full information to the shareholders upon all matters connected with this underta king, have caused an account to be taken by competent per sons of the present traffic between Manchester and Glossop, and the intermediate places, and, after careful revision, they have much pleasure in laying an abstract of it before the meeting. In this statement they have excluded all traffic of a doubtful character, such as the goods traffic of Ashton, Staleybridge, Dukinfield, Godley, Newton, Hyde, and Shef field, the greater portion, if not the whole, of which must ultimately come upon the line. On the 31st of December, 1840, the outlay amounted to £168,077 13s. 61d., as shewn in the annexed abstract of ac counts. For the completion of the contracts to Glossop, tunnel works, management, payment for the purchase of land, the Manchester station, and all incidental expenses, a further sum of £318,020 is estimated to be required; making the total outlay on the Ist of May, 1842, £486,097 13s. 61d. From that part of the line from Manchester to Glossop, then ready for opening, a net annual income of £31,914 2s. 4d. may be safely calculated upon, which will yield a profit of 61 per cent. per annum upon the whole expenditure then incurred ; and it must not be forgotten that in this sum is included nearly £lBO,OOO paid on account, and forming a part of the estimated cost of the whole line. Tha directors have frequently discussed the question of commencing the eastern division of the line. They are con vinced that a very large thorough traffic would be com manded by the completion of the works on both sides of the tunnel, and, until that was opened, running coaches over the Summit Ridge ; but the contracts already entered into have absorbed, and required even more, than the whole of their available funds. The directors cannot omit to congratulate the shareholders upon the successful termination of the legal proceedings, by the decision of the Court of Exchequer, in favour of the company upon all the points raised at the trial of the actions at the Liverpool Assizes. There is little doubt that many wealthy shareholders, not parties to those actions, held back the amount due from them awaiting their decision. This, combined with the large amount owing by the parties against whom actions had been brought, and the commercial de pression of the country, compelled the directors to exact from the shareholders who had the means, and the inclina tion to pay, frequent and heavy calls ; and they assure those shareholders that they did this with great reluctance, and that prompt and vigorous measures will now be adopted for obtaining payment of all recoverable arrears. Desirous of acquiring a thorough knowledge of the proprie tary, the directors have carefully examined the share list, and concluded to recommend for forfeiture 219 shares, upon which an average of £9 l4s. lid. per share has been paid. To the holders of these shares the requisite notices have been given, and it remains with the meeting to determine upon confirming their forfeiture. The investigation of the share list is a work of considerable time and labour ; but the directors feel confident than when it is effectually weeded there will remain a sound and re sponsible proprietary, fully equal to carry so large a portion of the line into profitable operation, as will enable the com pany to avail itself of the clause in its act of parliament which empowers it to obtain money on loan, and thus afford relief to the shareholders in the payment of future calls ; and that eventually the doubtful shares will get into such hands as will ensure the successful completion of this great national undertaking.
