This Paste imparts to Teeth, however foul and discoloured, a pearly whiteness, a healthy redness and firm- quality, sweetens the breath, and will be found highly' refresh ing to the mouth after its use.

" In pursuance of the resolution passed at the Meeting held on the 7th ultimo, we have proceeded to investigate the affairs of the Bank. " The Manager placed before all e Books and securities, and afforded us every facility. " Our attention was, in the first instance, directed to the Books, for the purpose of testing the accuracy of the Statement submitted by your Directors of the last Meeting. The Books have been kepreatisfactorily, and as to its mere figures, the Directors' Statement is quite correct; but with their Estimate of Assets, Debts, and Securities, we do not concur. " Upon a careful review of all the circumstances. we cannot but feel a strong conviction that the Assets have been over; rated, but to what extent we are unprepared to state; for some of the Securities are of such a nature as not to admit of imme diate realization in times like the present. The Bank, however, is perfectly solvent, and, after payment of all its liabilities, will yield a considerable surplus to the Proprietors. " EDMUND WARD. JOHN W. COWARD."

IRELAND AND ITS REBEL PRESS. The promoters of rebellion in the sister country con tinue to labour diligently in their task, and seem deter mined to drive the ignorant and turbulent population into open revolt. Falsehoods the most gross are circulated unblushingly. Any past misfortune which has befallen any portion of the country is raked up, with a view to increase the rancorous feeling existing towards England ; and even those visitations of Providence, to which all countries are liable and from which all have suffered, are set down as the perpetrations of the Saxons and the direct consequence of union with Great Britain. A specimen o f number of the Nation;— from this wcel-' of our of faminei ecl 'a rh e em sw aske d the into the grave one million Bishop of New York, in his lecture on their death, and he answers—' no one did it, yet they are killed.' Aye, truly, are they ; you might pile a pyramid of their skulls to Clarendon, the Conqueror, in any townland from Tramore westward to Slea ve League. You may gauge the vats of human decomposition with a pike-staff, in every charnel ground of Munster, Connaught, or the north west. One thousand times one thousand men and women, of our blood and bone, have fallen under the existing authorities" in Ireland between midsummer '46 and Christmas '47. They were surrounded as by a beleaguering host, and reduced by famine. Will the authorities' deny it? Why have they re fused to publish the census of the dead? Because THAT would justify revolution." - The assertion here is palpably that " the existing autho rities," promoted the spread of famine and death in Ireland ; and that the extent of such mortality " justifies revolution." An ignorant reader, such as the bulk of those to whom it was addressed, or a foreigner, would naturally arrive at the conclusion that we hedged round the unfortunate people of Ireland in their famine and fever, and prohibited every effort of theirs, or of their own fellow countrymen to snatch them from death. Not a word about the eight millions of money spent upon public works in Ireland, and in the gratuitous distribution of food amongst them. Not a word of the bountiful exercise of English benevolence to aid them, whilst the Mitchels and Meaghers, the Smith O'Briens and the O'Connells buttoned up their pockets, or expended their energies as cheaply in brawling diatribes against the hands by which that aid was brought. Such lying statements are not only retailed without shame in the columns of the Repeal prints, and from the platforms of Repeal gatherings, but we are still more concerned to find that they meet with a large amount of belief. It is clear, from the tone of these prints and the ha rangues of the demagogues with whom Ireland is infested, that the mask which treason has so long worn in that unhappy country is being torn aside. Repeal —a return to the state of things existing before the Act of Union— the regeneration of Ireland by means of a native parlia ment connected with the British legislature—is no longer the object held up as sought. Complete separation is now the object spoken of. A Republic, in alliance with France, or any other country willing to draw a sword against Great Britain, and the confiscation of British property in Ireland and its partition amongst the pea santry of Ireland, are now openly contemplated and pre pared for. We hear of arming and drilling—of the formation of clubs and a National Guard—of signal fires, which are to blaze out from every hill, and to announce that the work of blood has commenced. The ultimatum which the rebel leaders seek has been pronounced ; and it only remains a question of time when the word is to be given and by whom. In the mean time, the people are utterly misled as to the nature of the power which they have to contend with and overcome. Their press tells them that Ireland is unanimous in its efforts to shake the British connexion ; that all they have to do is to " smash through the Castle of Dublin," overpower the garrisons and the constabulary in the provinces, and become at once an independent people —or, as they interpret the meaning of the words, to establish a mob dictation upon the wreck of the institutions of the country. They have never been told of the hundreds of thousands of loyal men, who have declared their adhesion to the governing powers, and are ready to meet force by force to put down and to crush rebellion. Not a word of the recent addresses of confidence presented to the Lord Lieutenant is permitted to reach their ears. Upon another point the peasantry generally are mis leading themselves, and a large portion also of the Eng lish people are entertaining unnecessary fears. It is their impression that the military force in Ireland cannot be depended upon ; that, in the case of an outbreak in Ire land, they will be disposed to fraternise with the people, after the example set them by the troops of the line in Paris. The parties to this mistake cannot have suffi ciently observed the difference in feeling and position which exists between' the two bodies. The French soldier makes it his proudest thought that he is of the people; and on every occasion of collision with the governing power, he sympathises with the popular feeling and fra ternises with the people. It was so in the revolution of 1792 ; it was so in the revolution of 1830 ; and we have just witnessed another display of the same spirit. The English soldier, on the contrary, regards himself as se parated by his duty from the masses out of which he has been taken. The humblest private imbibes, from the day of his enlistment, a kind of esprit de corps. He considers himself as one of the hands of the executive power, and looks down upon the mere " civilian" as upon a being a grade below his position. In numierless cases of out break amongst our working masses, when the hard duty has been imposed upon our military of acting against the turbulent, whether English, Irish, or Scotch, they have invariably been found to do their duty, mildly and with forbearance, yet without the slightest show of a disposi tion to make common cause with the disaffected, or even to waver in their obedience to commands which may have been distasteful to their natural feelings of humanity to wards their misled fellow-countrymen. And so, we are confident, it will lie found in the crisis which threatens. A few exceptions there may perhaps be to the general rule. A few unruly characters may be seduced from their duty, and desert: But the bulk of the British army will be found willing to do their duty, whether against rebels in Ireland or a foreign enemy. It is not to be denied, and we deplore the fact, that we _have serious difficulties to encounter in the efi'ort to re store Ireland to a state o' peace and rest. We have first an agitation to repress, which is harrassing the country and retarding its progress towards a self-supporting posi tion. That agitation must be put down, for Ireland's sake as well as our own. And w h en i t i s put down— when we have " unthread the rude eye of rebellion "—we shall have none more ready to thank us for the effort than the deserving portion of the population of Ireland herself. Despite the howlings of treason which at present salute our ear from amongst the turbulent and worthless iu that country, we are assured that a feeling of strong distrust has already been excited, and is spre a di ng among the industrious classes, of the sincerity of the demagogues who seek to impress upon them a reliance upon outrage and disorder for the removal of the evils which afflict them. These classes are longing to be released from the dictation of their priesthood and incendiary advisers, from Agrarian disturbance, and the insecurity of life and pro perty under which they are placed. For them the O'Con nell swindle has had its day. The more rabid confedera tion movement—the rebellious struggle of the men of pikes and rifles— w ill, we re p ea t, h ave t o be metwith force, upon whatever field may be chosen for the trial. REPORT OF THE WATER COMMITTEE, IMPORTANT DEMONSTRATION OF THE SECU RITY AGAINST FIRE OF MILNER'S SAFES, AT OXFORD. At the meeting of the Liverpool Polytechnic Society, on Monday evening last, W. BENNETT, Esq., ironfounder, the president.in the chair; the SECRETA RY rose and said : Sir, observing from the papers that some very interesting 13 1 7111illItati bP 'tit ke.fm.mVr, min; - aheseemg Mr. W. Milner present, perhaps you will request him to give us thtparticulars. The PRESIDENT having called upon Mr. MILNER, he re plied :—I would in the first place, Mr. President and gen tlemen, return our best thanks to you and the council for your introduction to the Ashmolean Society at Oxford, which at once secured for us the interest and attention of that noble scientific body, and of the Universities, under whose sanction and superintendence our public test was arranged and conducted. They saw that the fires were hot enough to prove that it was no sham fight was made against the enemy, keeping the armour of our principle (our safes) red hot for five hours, and I have great plea sure in reading their high testimony that we brought off our colours from the ordeal without a singe upon them. In bringing their manufactures under the notice of the Universities, Thomas Milner and Son had letters of re commendation to the Lord Bishop of Oxford, to many scientific gentlemen, and from the Liverpool Polytechnic. Society to the Ashmolean Society, who have kindly inves tigated the claims of their invention, by witnessing a se vere public test of its merits, for which the patentees re turn their sincere thanks, and beg to lay the following. testimonial, with which they have been honoured, before the public : " Oxford, March 16, 1848. " Having this day attended the testing of Milner's Fire Resisting Manufactures, conducted under the sanction and superintendence of the authorities of the university and city (by kind permission, in Mr. F. Symonds' Close), Milner's Banker's Safe, filled with books, gunpowder, a £5 note, a watch, &c., &c., being surrounded with fire for five hours—Milner's No. 1 Safe similarly filled, and kept in red heat for two hours and a half, and an iron Safe, not of their make, for one hour and a half, (to shew the contrast)) ; its contents being reduced to tinder, and those of Milner's Saf e s uns i nge d. W e h ave much plea sure in expressing our decided approval of the principle of these Safes—combined non-conduction and evapora tion—our great satisfaction with these experiments—the fires being made to convey the most intense heat—and, from the very perfect state of the contents of each of Mil ner's Safes, our unhesitating opinion of the perfect secu rity they afford to books, deeds, records, manuscripts, &c., &c., against the rav age s o f fi re i n a ll or di nary cases, and we o with great confidence recommend them to the public for general use.

The PRESIDENT here remarked :—Milner's Safes may be said to have been one of the most useful and important developments of this society ; and for our knowledge of them we are greatly indebted to Mr. S. Woods, and those gentlemen who acted with him. You will remember the first experiments upon them, when the general investiga tion of the means of preserving documents from fire took place, I attended throughout those trials—strongly preju diced, I confess, against this invaluable invention—not be lieving, because not knowing, the merits of Milner's Safes. I went to the ground determined to burn them out, nor did I look for any difficulty • but after I had seen the contents of th e ot h er fireproof safes consumed to tinder, in the same fires of which Milner's had borne the far greater heat ; and Mr. Milner, at my request, still putting his safes into the hottest holes I could make or find in the fires, and to my astonishment bringing them out red hot, with the papers unburnt, and so cool within them, that I could hold them in my hands.—l became, and still am as strongly their advocate as I was before their opponent. .Mr.gMITH and others bore similar testimony. Mr. MILNEr again said :—Mr. President, I thank yim deeply, more than words can express, for your kind and candid avowal, invaluable as coming from you ; and I re joice in this opportunity of making my heartfelt acknow ledgments to this society for their patient investigation of the subject, and for the kind support we have received since you proved us deserving of it. Every large fire jus tifies your approval of our principle, and we shall l a b our inceseautly to maintain a daily improving and better title to the hogour we aspire to, the sanction of the Liver pool Polytechnic Society, the Ashmolean Society, and that enlightened scientific, and practical body of our coun trymen, who constitute similar societies. The proceed ings were warmly and loudly cheered throughout. GENERAL TR. DE REPORT, Night.

In fact, the country is in such an anomalous state, that, notwithstanding the consumption is going on, the public have lost all confidence, and both buyers and sellers seem resolved to transact as little business as possible. In this town prices are steadily on the decline, and up to the time of writing no improvement had taken place in any branch of the trade. The chief arrivals since Friday have been 494 qrs of Wheat, 1,370 qrs. Oats, 798 Ids. Oatmeal, and 3,010 sacks Flour, from Ireland ; 507 qrs Barley, and 1,752 qrs.

About 300 bales of Australian were offered and sold with great spirit, at prices fully equal to those lately sold in London. The greater portion of the East India was taken at former rates. There were 100 bales fine Entre Rios brought for ward, which attracted much attention, and were all sold at prices varying from Bd. to 13,!..d. per lb.
