This, they assure their Friends and the Public, is the full price of their best Teeth; and the price can only be increased by expensive mountings. The mechanical department is filled by first-rate workmen from London and Paris; and it is only the immense quantity Manufactured that enables them to fix their prices so low. All 'operations of the Teeth equally moderate. Filling decayed Teeth with the Mineral Mamoratum, 2s. fid. Artificial Teeth repaired, remodelled, and brought to their former shape and appearance.

Among the various disorders of the mouth, there are none More destructive than Scurvy, which, on first entering the gums, Causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions. A soft substance invariably a .i_uinnlates around the necks of the teeth, penetrating into the gores, which gradually waste away, and the Teeth then become loose and drop out of their sockets, and it is Well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other; in short, Scurvy in the Gums affects indivi duals of all ages and constitutions, and if not speedily removed, Will be the primary cause of tooth-ache and decay. Messrs. COOPER and Co. are happy to state that they have discovered a certain remedy for the removal of this distressing malady, which, if used in conjunction with their VEGETABLE ANOYDONE TINCTURE, will entirely extirpate the complaint.— Price ss. - --- Attendance daily from Ten till Seven.

SIR S have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from pain, and as helpless as an infant : not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close apli cation of four days, my troublesome companion bega n to dis appear; in a week I WAS capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, D. W. STONE. 4. Paternoster-roue. " SlR,—Having been informed of the surprising cure of Mr. Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was compelled.to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his committing any violence, and whose case was considered en tirely hopeless, I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and being satisfied of the truth of my information, encouraged me to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining little hopes of success, having been many years so severe a suf ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam very happy in being able to add my testimony of the benefit I derived: after a few days' application the use of my limbs are perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business, nd, making an allowance for my age. never was better in my life. To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless their case may have been p ron ounced, I beg of them to make a trial, feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their limbs, from the severe Cases that have yielded to this Medicine. Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to hose who are deprived, none feels it so severely as the trades man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and brings ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to make it known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE POLLARD. October 20, 1844. 14, Belmont-place, Wandsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1844. SIRS I feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to say that after three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder. —I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYES. Such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that per sons labouring under the most distressing Rheumatism, Rheu matic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours. The astonishing success which has crowned the application of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the least danger or inconvenience, and hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced.

FEIN", Proprietor, SAGACITY OF ROOKS.—Rooks that are much shot at, like those at Botisham, have the greatest possible dread of a gun. Often, when walking in the neiglibourhond of the trees, I observe they suffer 'me to approach within a certain distance without taking fright, though they watch my movements narrowly ; or are not much disturbed as long as I i•ontinue walking on; but the moment I stop, and put eves, a walking•stick to my shoulder, as if about to fire at them, they are off direct!y ; and the distance at which this will operate, often considerably mere than a hundred yards, is quite surprising. It is also observable, that when they would be frightened by any one walking or stopping near the trees, they will often suffer a cart or a carriage to pass immediately beneath them, without taking the least notice. as if conscious that there was no danger to be apprehended from such a source.—Rev.

OBSERVANCE OF THE LORD'S-DAY.—Mr. Raikes, in his just published Life of Sir Jahleel Brenton, mentions that when in Paris, in 1833, the King of the French made an appointment with Sir Jahleel to see him on Sunday. Sir Jahleel returned for answer that it was with great re gret that he could not obey the summons of his Majesty, as that day he regard( d as sacred, and always devoted it to other objects. Louis-Philippe returned for answer that he appreciated the motive for declining his invitation, and made an appointment for a week-day. CAUSE OF MR. ROEBUCK'S FAILURES AS A SPEAKER. As he is an intemperate man, liable to be drawn by tha slightest interruption away from his main theme into per sonal altercation, he is still more open to the risk of not being able to preserve that self-possession which is abso lutely te - - , essary to an accomplished orator. An almost necessary eon-equence of this reliance on resources which are not always at command is, that Mr. Roebuck, how ever well informed he may be upon a subject, or however strongly he may feel upon it, is just as likely to break down as to achieve a success. We have known him to rise at the most critical and exciting period of a great de bate, when he has intruded himself on the attention of the House, to the displacement of the heads of either party, when there was, perhaps, a general feeling that he was presuming too much thus to stand in the way of a political manifesto or of a division. But still an indul gence had been extended to him because of his original position. He has availed himself of the opportunity thus afforded him to commence a speech, in which he has, perhps,n dashed with a bold and vigorous hand into the very core of the subject, holding the real question at issue np, for the first time, to the attention of his audience, cleared of all the fallacies infused into it by previous speakers. To all appearance he is carrying the House with him. Repeated cheers hail his terse and well pointed propositions, and his presumption is forgotten in the able exposition he makes of his case. But, suddenly, he says something which provokes an ironical cheer, or a sneer, from some opponent. This stings his amour propre, and off lie starts, on the instant, into personality, sometimes uttering, without adequate provocation, un endurable insults and aspersions on character. From that moment his speech, so auspiciously commenced, be comes a failure. His infirmity of temper once touched, he becomes an altered man. There is no longer vigour, sense, argument, or even coherency, in what he pours forth. Yet he has not the discretion to stop, but makes a long, rambling speech, full of feeble repetitions of what he has so forcibly put, or of offensive personalities, or outrageous defiance of the growing disapprobation of his hearers, until, at last, he fairly tires out their patience, and his display, which, at his commencement, had brought him honour and respect, ends by his being co vered with ridicule and contempt.—Fraser's Contem porary Orators. LIVERPOOL.—i am not acquainted with any seaport more worthy of being denominated a city than Liverpool, London alone excepted, for the ancient city of Bristol, the once celebrated " Queen of the West," and the second city in England, has long since fallen into con tempt ; and though its port is a noble and safe one, still its inhabitants have so befooled themselves, or allowed their authorities to do it for them, that their trade has been driven away, and the enterprising merchant, rather than be fettered by and mulcted in dock dues and harbour rates, and a variety of other vexatious and iniquitous imposts, which the old, oppressive, selfish, and execrable corporation managed to decree, have patronised Lives , pool, and made that which was a very few years ago a mere simple fishing village, the present great, powerful, and increasing town. No one can visit Liverpool without, at a glance during an hour's ramble through its busy and magnificent streets, being fully convinced that British enterprise is, above all' things, that which is most ent tled to wonder and admiration. The skill, the energy, the wealth, which is there so constantly visi ble,—the vast riches that have accumulated and are accumulating,—the splendid edifices which it contains, devoted to religion, benevolence, science, commerce, &c.,—the beautiful gardens, rides, and promenades, for the enjoyment of the living, and the chaste, classic, and soul-inspiriting shades for the repose of the dead,—the host of merchant princes which it boasts, and the noble mansions which they inhabit,—the immense expenditure that has been devoted to the docks, and the forest of roasts that fill them,—the daily and hourly arrival of ships from every quarter of the globe, from which articles of neces sity, taste, and luxury can be derived,—the sailing of ves sels to every point of the compass to which the produce of British skill, labour, and excellence can be wafted,—the flotilla of steamers that have annihilated space and brought the whole coasts of Great Britain within its grasp and in fluence, and then those quays loaded with their dense and lofty piles of merchandise, the concentration of the world's treasures, throwing into the most abject contempt all the accounts of the greatness of former places,—their com mercial character, general intellect, and capabilities, con vincing mankind that the thews, sinews, mind, and deter mination of Englishmen are of more real value than the safe and positive possession of all the mines of Golcon",a, or the riches of ancient Ormus. —Memoirs of Paul Swan ston, p. 422. THE " EMIGRANTS' LARK."—Two emigrants, a man and his wife, sailed from the Tower in the year 1834 on beard a vessel bound for Quebec. A bird-catcher had promised to give the industrious pair, for a companion in their exile, a singing lark. The emigrants, however, had departed. and the bird-catcher had not kept his word. But the latter arrived with the gift at the Tower, a few hours after the ship had sailed, and he made his way as fast as possible to Gravesend. He overtook the ship, handed the bird from the gangway, shook hands with his frknds, who christened the lark " Charley," for the os'ier's sake, In the gulf of St. Lawrence the vessel was wrecked, and all the property on board lost except " Charley," with whom—but with nothing in the world besides—the emigrants landed in Canada. They settled in Toronto, where the man, by name Patterson. gained a subsistence as a journeyman shoemaker. Outside the window of his small house a lark's cage was daily hung, and from its wiry front there issued notes that did much honour to the little throat that poured them forth. Passengers stopped, spell-bound, to listen to the English warbler; all men waited to listen, from the loyal governor to the most irreclaimable reformer. Three times was Patterson offered 100 dollars for the melodist, three times did he refuse the bribe. An old farmer offered 100 acres of land for him. A poor Sussex carter offered all he possessed in the world—his horse and cart. Patter s,n was immovable. Ile would not sell Charley. One morning, three years after _he had quitted England, tl owner of the bird was accidentally sliot dead. The widow was ruined. She sold the pretty singer, and the governor, Francis Head, became the purchaser. Three months did Charley hang in the conservatory of government-house, but not once did he open his mouth there. Either he mourned his master, or he was unhappy away from the s mell of cob6ler's wax. Leaving Canada, the governor presented the bird to Daniel Orris, a faithful loyal man, whose station in life was about equal to that of poor Patter son. Lo!—a wonder!—suspended again outside a humble dwelling, the bird began to sing as exquisitely as enc. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD IN FRANCE, SPAIN, AND INDIA. (From the Mining Journal.) t rh r elnnopoly over the manufacture of salt, maintained by the Government in FRANCE, which increases the price to the consumer 200 per cent., has for several years caused a general outcry among all classes of the community, who SALT 4/10NOPOLY consider it one - of th ost prejudicial that an industrious people can be oppressed with. Numerous petitions, ses sion after session, have been presented to the Chamber, by free-trade Peers and Deputies, emanating from the • _ . the klugclom ; notsvanstanaing which, ; made by Government, that a wo es should take place, no reduction and the many promis is yet E it would appear thit they cannot bear us to every branch of industry. The greatest s, the curers of fish. The Newfound _ as, of late years, been a source of profitable e to French industry, but is sadly cramped by are, pert d fishery _ dressed a memorial to the Ministers of Commerce and Finance, with the object of obtaining permission to use the season of 1847 ; the object being 3 nrttionl_ which ran hp during obtained for 10s. sd. per ton ; while, in France, it costs 40s. At present no notice has been taken of this memo rial ; but the Minister of Marine has announced, as usual that he should be ready to receive contracts for 200,00( tons of sa t, to De aenverea at tne port of Brest. bait is annually getting more and more scarce in France, and the greatest exertions are required to keep up a supply equal to the demand, even at the present exorbitant prices. Some rumours are afloat, of the probability that the tax will be greatly reduced in the next session, and the itn- port duty on British and Belgic salt repealed—the Minis ter of Commerce wishing to show some signs of attention to petitions so_respectably and numerously signed. SPAIN also has severely suffered and still suffers from the royal monopoly of the manufacture of salt ; through it a ennsiderAhle nnrtinn of the fi.h nf the A try such as Spain, would add amazingly to the national food ; and, surrounded as she is with prolific fishing grounds, she is actually obliged to resort to England and Newfoundland for salted codfish, an indispensible article for the fast days of the people. The following extract w II convey a clear idea of the effect of this impolitic tax : —" The salt works (says Townsend, who wrote about 80 years ago) yield a considerable revenue. These were formerly considered as private property ; but in the year 1348 they were taken by Alonzo 11., and in 1564 Phillip 11. seized them as part of his domesne. The chief of them are in Andalucia, Valencia, Catalona, and Majorca. The salt works of Matra, in the kingdom of Valencia, would easily furnish 1,500,000 of fanegas, of about 100 lhs weight, which, could they find a market, would. at 22 reas the fanega, make £330,000 per annum ; but, by rais ing the price, they have lessened the demand, so that the whole amount of the kingdom is only about two-thirds of The effects of the tax on this necessary of life and health in INDIA w•e have on numerous occasions adverted to—it is totally indefensible even as revenue, because we have before shown that it brings to the company no re venue at all—all they gain is a positive loss; while the population of 40,000,000 of people are taxed 12C0 per cent. on t —the ma. iority of whom are deprived of a sufficient quantity of thi; health preserving and savoury condiment. The salt of War wickshire contains only 12 parts of impurities to 288 parts of pure muriate of soda ; the common salt of Cheshire, only 164 parts; and rock salt, 161 parts of impurities, out of 1000—while that manufactured in India, from the not be recognised as salt by an Englishman, on its being first placed before him. The contiguity of the sea to our salt mines, enables our merchants to compete with any salt-producing country in supplying this article to any spot on the habitable globe. Our present exports are 11,000,000 bushels annually, employing shipping to the amount of 299.000 tons of dead weight ; and, if the duty on salt in India were only reduced to a more moderate sum, this amount would most probably be doubled. The United States of America manufacture a Frge quantity of excellent salt annually ; and formerly, there was an impost on the admission of British salt of 400 per cent. As the population, however, increased, the production of salt did not increase with it; and too wise to debar the nation of what they could not supply themselves, the tax has been so reduced, that 4,000,000 bushels are an nually imported into America from this country. We understand that no fewer than nine memorials have been forwarded to the Indian authorities against the salt monopoly : they emanate from commercial bodies in Chester, Worcester, Blackburn, Manchester, and Liver pool. THE MERCURY VERSUS MR. RUSHTON'S COURT. Our contemporary of Friday, or rather a correspondent for him, has made the discovery that the business of Mr. Rushton's court is not so very satisfactorily conducted after all. "In the first place," he says, " all summonses for breaches of local acts are issued for half-past ten o'clock in the morning, and all witnesses against pris oners in custody are ordered to attend court at the same hour. If the business commenced punctually at that hour, and was proceeded with continuously. there would, perhaps, be little to complain of, but, unfortunately, the magistrate seldom takes bis seat at the time stated, and rarely, if ever, proceeds with the court business without interruption. It is said that he has public business to tranact in his private room before taking his seat, but this, surely, is a very insufficient excuse for keeping the whole court waiting—professional men, witnesses, many of them poor and unable to sustain the loss of time, fe males taken from their families, and last, though not least, police officers, who have only had a few hours sleep .after walking the streets for eight or nine hours during a dreary night, and are entered again for duty in the after noon. Again, parties who are in the habit of attending the court feel that the stipendiary is too much in the habit of leaving the bench to attend private individuals, instead of conducting the public business before allowing himself to be interrupted by the many demands necessarily made upon his attention. The business of the court would be conducted with much more decorum and solemnity (if I may use so strong a word) were the casts proceeded with in a regular and systematic manner. Let the magistrate, like the judges, when on the bench, pay attention only to what is brought before him, and much time will be saved, and a great deal of dissatisfaction avoided." The same writer complains of the difficulty and loss of time experienced by parties attending for the granting of summonses, and, subsequently, for their hearing; and concludes by stating, that " The office of stipendiary magistrate of a borough like Liverpool is so important —the difficulty of any man placed in such a position giving general satisfaction is so great—that all cases of dissatisfaction, and especially those of routine, so easy of removal as the above enumerated, ought instantly to be done away with. Depend upon it such a step would give general satisfaction," These are precisely the grounds upon which we advocate the appointment of a second court. The evils here pointed out can never be re moved by the adoption of any other course. MEETING IN BEHALF OF THE DESTITUTE IRISH POPULATION.—Last night, a meeting was held at St. Joseph's school-room, chiefly of the labourers on the Liverpool, Bolton, and Bury railway, for the pur pose of showing their own disposition to contribute their respective mites towards relieving their fellow country men in Ireland, of all denominations, from their present distress for want of food. Mr. Wilcock, head engineer of the line, presided, and spoke feelingly on the question. Several persons engaged on the line, chiefly workmen, spoke in a feeling manner. Some subscriptions were given in the room. A deputy from the further end of the line stated that what was done here would be followed out there by all the workmen, and it was finally agreed by resolution that each man should give one day's wages to the charity. Mr. M'Cormick, the head contractor, who had, it appeared, started the pro ject, was appointed treasurer, and a vote of thanks was passed to him and to parties not connected with the line, who had contributed to the fund. ST. ANDREW'S DAY.—Yesterday, being the anniver sary of the birthday of the patron saint of Scotland, a very large party of " brother Scots," as on many former like occasions, celebrated the day by a dinner at Mr. M'Kepzie'e, the " Caledonian Hotel," Lower Duke street. The tables were fairly loaded with most excellent viands, &c., and the liquors were of the best quality. After the dinner, speech. song, and sentiment, kept the delighted company in a " roar, " and the kindly nati ona l feelings that were reciprocated, flashed to the hearts of all present—reminded of their native Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, Land of the mountain and the flood." FOREIGN POTATOES.—The arrivals of potatoes in London from abroad during the past week have com prised the following :—The Gypsy, from Jersey, brought 45 tons, the produce of that island ; the Ruding, from Oporto, 10 baskets, of Portuguese produce ; the Johns, from Rouen, the large quantity of 135 tons, the growth of France ; the Giraffe, from Rotterdam, 20 baskets, of Dutch produce; the Faith, from Rouen, 105 tons, of French produce; the Charles, from Gravelines, 50 tons, also of French produce ; the Perseverance, from Dunkirk, 141 tons. the produce of Normandy ; the Ocean, from Rotterdam, 4 hampers, 6 baskets, and 12 bags, of Dutch produce; the Rob Roy, from St. Petersburgh, 225 bags, the production of Russia ; the Sir Rob"rt Peel, from Rotterdam, 6 bags, of Dutch produce; and the Artemus, from St. John's, Newfoundland, 10 barrels, the growth of that British province of North America. It will be observed that this list of the principal arrivals during the past week comprises snonlies from France, Holland, Russia, Normandy, T r• ;: . and the Channel island first-mentioned, and from which latter place we have received parcels of the vegetable on former occasions. Of them, those from France are especially noticeable on account of their extent, and the individual importation from Russia on account of its increased extent, and from Portugal owing to its partial or entire novelty. With respect to the arrival from Newfoundland, we are not aware that a similar one has before taken place, and, although trifling in quantity, the importation, on account of its novelty, would appear to possess a considerable degree of interest, and to be worthy of particular and separate notice. HANDEL-Dr. Morel!, who urnished Handel with the poetry of many of his oratorios, related to Mr. Taylor, that one fine summer morning, he (Dr. Morel!) was aroused out of bed at five o'clock by Handel, who cam e in his carriage a short distance from London. The Doc tor went to the window and aroke to Handel, who would not leave his carriage • Handel was at that time composi ng a u oratorio. When the Poctor asked him what he wanted, he said—" What is de meaning of de vord billow?" (which was in the oratorio the Doctor had written for him.). The Doctor, after laughing at so ludicrous a season for disturbing hire, told him that billow meant a wave—a wave of the sea. " Oh, de vane!" said Handel, and bade his coachman return without addressing another word to the Doctor.

The stories are only two in number, and are, therefore, not of the bald, common-place sort usually met with in books which bear similar titles. On the contrary, they are well sustained romances, with much historical information combined with romance—such "stories," in fact, which, before the appearance of the Vaverley series, and of the productions of the host of Sir Walter's imi tators, would have placed the author in a very prominent position in the world of letters.

We understand they (the promcter' of the district lighting) magnanimously passed resolutions to light and watch them. selves, at the cost of the township."—Chronicle, Nov. 13. " We candidly and frankly admit that it is proposed to rate only the residents in the district for the expense."— Chronicle, Nov. 27. SlR—Pray allow me a corner in your valuable paper. It seems that " misunderstandings are the order of the day in Tranmere," and that a Phoenix has risen to en lighten us on the subject, which he does in a very long article in the Chronicle of Saturday last. That he is well qualified to do, being himself the author of the erroneous statement given to the public, and which he now contradicts " frankly and candidly." We are now assured that the promoters of the district lighting and watching do not wish the township to pay for their lights and watchmen. What sort of frankness and candour his must be, we leave the public to form their own cpinion of, when they are told that, at the commencement of the last article, he in effect republishes what he afterwards so " frankly" contradicts. The " hole and corner meeting" seems to vex him not a little; he should have used his influence, and have prevailed on the overseers not to call a meeting " of those rate-payers only who were included within the proposed district." But such a meeting having been called by the overseers, the rate-payers within the district met pursuant to the notice; they then demanded their re quisition, which the overseer refused to let them have ; consequently they were obliged to read the printed one which the overseers issued, end then conduct the business or the meeting in the ordinary manner. As to its being a " hole•and-;•orner" one, one would imagine that the par ties in the " public room" knew something of it, from the fact of two of the leaders of the meeting held there having presented to the &strict one a demand of poll, signed by five rate-payers. How ridiculous, then, is the pretence that the " cat was let out of the bag." The Chronicle goes on to say, " they have carried their boundary line so as to include—that is, to tax—many in dividuals who will not receive any benefit whatever from the measure, and whom it was never intended to benefit." This I most distinctly and indignantly deny, and dare him to the:proof. Such imputations as these ought not to pass unquestioned, as there may possibly be some base enough to believe them. I assert and challenge the strictest inquiry as to the truth of the assertion that the promoters of the district meeting were anxious to in clude within their boundary those only who were willing to tax themselves for the purpose of being lighted and watched ; and had the slightest notice been given to them that the tenant of Prospect House did not wish to be in cluded within the boundary, he would have been left out. Unquestionably, some persons will derive less benefit from the lighting and watching than others; but tbis is unavoidable, the district must have a boundary some where. But why have a district at all ?—it may be asked For this reason :—The promoters of the measure to render however, stv ch wculd contain ad the other three The gradients are by no embanking, though - not The prin.

The accommodation is for nearly eight hundred per sons ; and galleries may be added, when required, for four or five hundred additional sittings.

The architectural designs were by our talented townsman Mr. Welch. The painted glass was, we are informed,by Mr. Forrest, who has, is instance, been eminent hurcli wi • tried to make the act general for the whole of the town: ship last year, and having been defeated, were anxious this year to avoid all opposition by choosing, as I have said, a district where the inhabitants were willing to tax themselves. I may add, that the line originally contem plated, was the one which the writer in the Chronicle ad mits he "should have had no reason to complain of," and it was only changed at the last minute, on information being received that it would be opposed. The writer in the Chronicle has further proved, perhaps unwittingly, that he can not only find his way home, but also write in the dark; for had he known anything of the subject on which he writes, he would be aware that the promoters of the district lighting, &c., could not tax the rest of the township even had they wished ; and also that had he at tended the meeting " and representLd to the promoters of the proposed measure the injustice, &c. of their plan, and endeavoured to induce them to modify it, &c.," they could not do so, however anxious they might have been. The writer is excessively facetious on the subject of what he calls lighting the" centre of the pool," he may perhaps raise a laugh, but 'tis a pity those who made the centre of the pool the boundary of the township are long since dead ; so that the sting of his wit is unfelt. be opened in January next.
