A NEW DISCOVERY IN ARTIFICIAL TEETH, YIXED WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR LIGATURES. SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED. LOOSE TEETH FASTENED. And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratuns. MONS. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver pool and its vicinity, that they have °paled Establishments permanently at No. 70, SEEL-STREET, Liverpool, (eight doors from Berry-street,) and No. 52, GEORGE-STREET, Manchester. They continue to fill up the cavities of Decayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, 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 pro gress 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. Lu DRAY and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single application, without the slightest pain. Mons. LE DRAY begs to introduce to the notice of his Patients and the Public, an entire new description of IN CORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL TEETH, and can with confidence guarantee them to answer every purpose of Mas tication 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, at the following Paris charges : A single Artificial Tooth A complete Set A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine gold plate An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal lic Teeth, highly finished, in the fint style, with fine gold sockets, ususily charged 40 guineas Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied. Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth, and restored equal in . beauty and durability to their original state. Attendance from Nine till Seven, and on Sundays from Nine till Two. Criir For the convenience of country patients. Monsieur LE DRAY and Co. are enabled to fix a partial or com plate aet of Teeth at one sitting, without: he least pain or incon venience. 70,.SEELISTREET, LIVERPOOL, AND 52, GEORGE STREET, MANCHESTER. £0 10 0 5 5 0 15 0 0 fl )3titi) To mil on the sth August.

HORRIBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE. — Monday morning, about a quarter past nine o'clock, a most dreadful murder and suicide took place at No. 14, Caroline-buildings. Mrs. Callaway and others, who resided at No. 33, were attracted to the spot by hearing most dreadful screams, and looking through the window, were horror-struck at perceiving a man leaning over a female, in the act of cutting her throat. He then released her, when she rushed from the house, with the blood pouring from her, to the door of No. 12, where she was caught by Mrs. Callaway, who took off her apron, and attempted to staunch the blood, despatching persons for a surgeon, policeman, &c. The man •at this time was bran dishing the knife, and threatening to stab any person who approached him. While several persons were engaged with the deceased, the murderer placed himself behind the street door, and with the dreadful instrument in his hand, nearly severed his head from his body. The husband, who was in Prospect-row, on being informed of the dreadful event, ran home, and attempted to commit suicide, by drowning him self in the water butt. He was, however, rescued by the poliee, and was conveyed to St. George's Workhouse, where he at present remains. The deceased, who was a fine look ing woman, has left a boy, aged ten years, to lament her un timely end. The murderer was about 35 years of age, and single.—Falmouth Express. ADVICE TO MEN IN DEBT.—Ascertain the whole state of your affairs. Learn exactly how much you owe. Be not guilty of deceiving yourself. You may thus awaken suspicions of dishonesty, when your intentions were far otherwise. De liberate and fully make up your mind, that, come what will, you practise no concealment, Or trick which might have the appearance of fraud. Openness and candour command re speet among all good men. Remember that no man is com pletely ruined among all men until his character is gone. As you are at present in circumstances of great trial, as as many eyes are upon you, do nothing rashly. If you need advice consult only a few. Let them be disinterested persons of the most established reputation. Offer frequent and fervent pray er to Almighty God. If you have, by any fault of your own, been brought into your present embarrassments, humbly ask forgiveness of God, and hope in his mercy. Beware of feel ings of despondency. Give no place for an hour to useless and enervating melancholy. Be a man. Reduce your ex penditures to the lowest possible amount. Care not to figure as others around you. Industriously pursue such lawful and honest arts of industry as are left to you. An hour's indus try will do more to beget cheerfulness, suppress evil rumours, and retrieve your affairs, than a month's moaning. I; you stop business, do it soon enough to avoid the just charge of an attempt to involve your unsuspecting friends. Learn from your present difficulties the utter vanity of all earthly things. —American paper. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT IPSWICII,—TWENTY HOUSES DESTROYED,—Irswicif, JULY 22.—Another dreadful fire broke out this morning, about eight o'clock, attended with a greater destruction of property than the one which happened on the 17th instant. It coaimenced in a loft belonging to Mr. Horn, sail-maker, and soon extended to the whole building, which is totally destroyed. Adjoining this build ing was a bonding-yard, which contained a large quantity of deals, baulks, battens, &c., most of which are destroyed. In the confusion, we are unable to ascertain the exact extent of the damage, but, we believe, upwards of 20 houses, besides granaries and warehouses, are destroyed. Great fears were at one time entertained for the safety of Mr. W. Bayley's ship-yard, where several large vessels are building; but, the wind shifting, it happily escaped. It was at first currently reported that a sailmaker, named Sherman, had perished, but we believe, the report is without foundation. A very large quantity of grain is destroyed, and the time we write a heap of coals, about 120 tons, is on fire, with about 400 quarters of malt on the top of it. The premises, the property of B. B. Catt, Esq., are, we understand, insured ; but Mr. Horn's stock was not. The principal part of the corn destroyed belonged to J. Cobbold, Esq., and is, we believe, not insured, Cambridge Chronicle. " STRAWS THROWN UPI" will be remembered that in Sheridan's play of " The School tor Scandal" Charles Surface, in order to " raise the wind," sells the family por traits, amongst which are those of a mayor and two aldermen, of Norwich, Careless acting as auctioneer. On Saturday night this play was brought out, with a strong cast, at the Theatre-Royal, Mr. Charles Mathews playing Charles Sur face, and Mr. G. Horncastle Careless. In the scene alluded to, in disposing of the mayor and aldermen, Mr. Horncastle exclaimed—" Going, going, pine ; there, Tye knocked down the mayor and corporation.' Whereupon an immense cheer burst from all parts of the house —not an ordinary manifesta tion of approof, but a loud, general, and simultaneous shout, which was repeated again and again, with red ou bl e d en ergy, when a few faint hisses were heard to proceed from some galled and irritated pro-corporators. Quoad the soi-disant corporation it was but too evident " which way the cat jumped."—Manchester Courier. EXTRAORDINARY INVASION.--A few days ago, a person named Thomas Leyland, a labourer, residing at No. 66, Al bert-street. in this town, had occasion to be absent from home for about a quarter of an hour, leaving, in a first-floor bedroom, two old canaries and a nest of young ones in a cage. On returning home he heard a fluttering up stairs, when, on going to see what was the matter, he was surprised and somewhat alarmed to find a large wild hawk in the act of killing the last of his birds. He endeavoured to catch it, but it flew out of the window and escaped him. It appears that Leyland, who is a widower, and resides alone, had left the window open, and the hawk having been attracted there, probably by the singing of the birds, darted into the room, broke the wires of the cage, and destroyed all its feathered inmates. A more singular invasion, to occur in the heart of a busy town, we have never heard or read of.—Preston Chronicle. • SUMMER STOCK SELLING OFF. PALATINB HOUSE, 40, BOLD-STREET.

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 Succedaneunt Mons. JAMES M. and S. MA LLAN, Surgeon Dentists. respectfully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Esta blishment, permanently, at No. 23, RODNEY•STIIEET, opposite Leece-street, where Mons. Mallan 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. ; 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, with the slightest pain. Mons. MALLAN begs to introduce to the notice of his Patients and the Public, an entire new d6scription of IN CORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL TEETH, and with con fidence guarantee them to answer every purpose of Mastica 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, at fixed and moderate Charges. Among Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectu a lly reme di e d . Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth, and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original state. Attendance from Nine till Six For the convenience of country patients, Messrs. JAMES M. & S.

CAUTION TO LANDOWNERS ADJOINING RAILWAYS.—A farmer's lad, answering to the name of William Radcliffe; was summoned before the magistrates, at the petty sessions, on Monday, to answer an information laid against him for leaving a gate open at Winwick, leading on the Gaand Junc tion Railway. The defendant it appeared had acted under the impression that it was the duty of the policeman em ployed on the line to shut the gate after him, and although remonstrated with on the impropriety of his conduct, he very resolutely refused to comply with the injunctions and request of the policeman stationed there. On the 15th of July he was very saucy, and left the gate open, so as to allow an ass to stray on the railway just at the moment a train was ap proaching. The magistrates told the defendant that he was compelled to close all the gates not upon the public high road, and with a view more forcibly to enforce the law upon his mind, ordered him to pay a fine of ss. and 38. Gd. costs.— Manchester Courier. KNIGHTHOOD : A NEW ORDER. — Classification is neces sary in honours as in everything else. In most countries there are orders conferred upon civil merit, and orders con ferred upon military merit : in ours there ought to be some distinctive name and badge for the order so frequently con ferred upon no merit at all. In Shakspeare's time, knights of this order seem to have designated " knights dubbed upon carpet consideration, and with unhacked rapier." In the time of George the Third, we had Hatfield Knights and Peg Nicholson Knights. All of these have been allowed to become obsolete : ought not advantage to be taken of the recent buckling of spurs upon the heels of sundry loyal mayors, to christen them once for all ? The name of the culprit, whose crime or supposed crime elicited their harm less zeal, suggests a sufficiently euphonous appellative. We have already Oxford graduates, Oxford sausages, Oxford tracts, and Oxford ale : the last, by a natural association with a potboy, suggests the title of—Oxford Knights. The analogy of contrast " comes to the rescue "—to speak in knightly phrase. The great recommendation of all such aspirants is that they have " wherewithal to support their rank." Her Majesty's " poor K n i g ht s of Windsor" will be nicely balanced, as a painter might express himself by her " rich Knights of Oxford." ABSURDITIES OF HUMAN LIFE.—TO call a lout with an ass's head, and horse-hair wig, your " learned brother." To allow a swindler to become a legislator, evade the laws that honest men submit to, an d t h en call him your " honourable friend."—To go to law for five pounds, when you may get off by paying ten.—Not to understand that might is right.— To assemble ten thousand fools to see you ascend in a bal loon, and to expect any thing but regret, if you don't break your neck.—To s t u dy any t hi ng b ut humbug ; when it makes anincome of £4O per annum on l y f i fteen hundred !—To b uy cream in the neighb our h oo d o f a l i me-k i ln. — To eat p i geon in -' pie the rook season.—To go out shooting with a cockney, and feel astonished if you discover the charge in the small of your back.—To quarre l w i t h a turnp ik e man w i t hi n t en minutes to twelve, as lie is sure to wrangle over the time. — To ask the painter of your portrait, " Is it a likeness!" — To abuse red hair, or refer to brimstone, in Scotland.—To go into an Irish regiment, unless you wish to become a sub stitute for the target in the shooting gallery.—To expect an American in France to deny that he is an Englishman, if asked the question.—To imagine for a moment, that a man with a large collar and no wristbands has got a clean shirt on.—To meet a man with a crack in his boot, and believe it has taken place " since he came out."—Not to deduct a clear half from anglers' weight and number.

NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE CURED GRINISTONE'S CELEBRATED EYE SNUFF, Under the patronage of his late Majesty, her Royal Hiyh ness the Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the 2'reasury,) Ts universally recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy 1 in removing Disorders incident to the Eyes and Head. It,will prevent Diseases of a Scrofulous Nature affecting the Nerves of the Head. In cases of Nervous Head-ache it is completely efficacious, and gives a Natural Sweetness to the. Breath. It may be taken as frequently as other Snuffs, with the most perfect safety and gratification to the consumer. Wash the eyes every morning with warm milk and water, to remove whatever secretion may have been produced during the night. Dr:ABERNETHY used it, and termed it. the Faculty's Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum. Dr. ANDUEWS also recommends its use as a preventive. (See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times, Cheltenham Journal, and British Traveller, in Nov: 1831.) He says, " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect on the stomach, as well as the nerves of the head, froth the tenacious sympathy of the membrane of the nose with the nervous system, that Grimstone's Eye Snuff, when taken frequently, must prevent any contagion entering the system, and recommends its universal adoption.

But read the following : From the John Bull, Gth May, 1839.—We copy the fol lowing from the Cheltenham Journal, being struck by its re ference to that eminent and successful oculist, James Ware, Esq., P.R.S., whose opinion touching the subject of which he treats will be read with interest. The discovery of Mr. Grimstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing influence on the nervous fabric of the head, possesses the un questionable power of relieving, assisting, and prolonging the sight even to extreme old age.--Editor. - Cheltenham Journal, 22d - April, 1839.—" That most emi nent oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., was so strongly im pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that in the third volume of the Medical Soc.ety's Works, page 334, this able oculist read several cases of gutta serena cured by the plentiful use of snuff. This snuff was made without the aid of tobacco, that being too great a narcotic to be used as a remedy. The anticipations of this gentlemen have been fully realised by Mr. William Grimstone, the Inventor of Eye Snuff, made from aromatic herbs, so judiciously ar ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye, ear, and the delicate organs of the head, to produce a certain cure."—Editor. " There are, perhaps, few articles which are so universally used as snuff, and various and innumerable have been the devices to tickle our noses at the expense of our pockets, but there is only one snuff—albeit many have been attempted— which has proved of any value, or indeed realised the inten tion of the consumers. Grimstone's Eye Snuff is a delightful and fragrant compound, and possesses properties peculiarly its own ; for, unlike all other snuffs, it is really of essential and important service to persons of studious habits, and of weak and infirm sight ; and if we may judge by the numerous medical gentlemen who have borne testimony to its merits, and the many well authenticated cures it has performed, it is not undeserving of the high esteem which it has already attained, not only in this but in other countries."—Old Eng land, 11th January, 1810. "We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is a safe and powerful restorative.—Manchester Chronicle. " GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Notwithstanding the sys tem of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolis, we rsally must claim for Mr. Grimstone the distinction of being a benefactor to his species. 'We have had ocular demonstra tion of the value of his snuff, which we tried out of curiosity, having at the same ti m e a s li g ht a ffection of opthalmia, which the use of the s nu ff ver y speedily removed. We therefore cordially recom men d it t o th e p u blic. "—Crown , Aug . 26 ,1838. . If any testimony were wanting to prove the efficacy of Grimstone's Eye Snuff, we should be most happy to throw ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already possessed by the inventor.

An Irish clergyman, who preached a discourse in behalf of a blind asylum, began by gravely remarking, " If all the world were blind, what a melancholy sight it would be !" - At the Polytechnic Institution, Regent-street, there is exhibited one pourid of glass, spun by steam into a thread 4000 miles long, and woven with silk into beautiful dresses and tapestry. At the late York Assizes, Ann Gilmore was convicted•of the murder of her own chill, at Hull, in March last, by giving it laudanum and oil of vitriol, and was sentenced to death.

But the son of Vulcan, who had been more used 1 wielding a sledge hammer than studying Doctor Johnson wrote the following item :—" To stealing two mad duck. two shillings." SUGAR AN ANTI - SCORBUTIC.-It is a curious fact that in countries where sugar is much used, scurvy and other cu taneous diseases are almost unknown. On board American vessels, where the seamen are allowed the use of sugar at pleasure, such a disease as the scurvy is scarcely ever heard of; and would the cheapness of sugar permit the British ship_ owners to be as liberal to their seamen as the Americans are, the health of that class of men would be materially improved. WATER. SPOUT AND HAIL STORM.—On the afternoon of Friday last, a water spout, accompanied with an unusally heavy shower of hail, broke out on a turnip field situated to the westward of the farm offices at CrailingTofts. The water, which rushed down the declivity with the violence of a torrent, carried along with it a quantity of the soil across the turnpike road into a field of barley on the opposite side, whereby a con siderable portion of the grain was pressed down covered with clay to a considerable depth. For some time great difficulty was experienced by foot passengers passing the place from the accumulation of hailstones, which covered the road at one part to the depth of at least 18 inches. —Kelso Chronicle. During the morning of Wednesday a large flagstone, near the Post-office, New-road, Driffield, attracted attention by being observed to have risen about three inches from its bed, without any visible cause. On being lifted up by Mr. Wm. Clark, bricklayer, to ascertain the cause, he discovered two large species of fungi, or gross mushrooms, growing under the flag. Th e mus h rooms were two and a half inches high, but much flattened with the pressure, weighed 1,11 b., and the largest measured six inches in diameter. The power must have been very grea t t o move t h e flag, since it was fastly bedded and wedged i n b e t we e n th ose adjoining. Similar cir cumstances have also lately occurred in other parts of the town, which may be attributed to the very wet season. TORPIDITY OF REPTILES.—On Saturday last as a ship': wright was sawing a piece of oak, 35 feet long, and two feet diameter, he discovered at about 12 feet from . the root, a small cavity in the centre of the wood which cont a i ned a frog. The surrounding part of the timber was perfectly sound, indeed in the whole piece there was not even a crack. The frog was immediately removed and placed by the man in his tobacco-box. Nourished by the heat of his pocket, the reptile soon evinced symptoms of life, but it was confined in such an unhealthy atmosphere, it was not very lively, nevertheless it lived for more than 18 hours. It is supposed the tree was upwards of 200 years old.—Yorkshire Gazette. POPERY AND SOCIALISM. —On a recent occasion, Mr. O'Connell, in his place in the House of Commons, inquired whether Socialism had made any progress in Ireland? in tending by this question to attribute its absence to the morel influence of popery. Mr. Owen, the originator of this dia bolical system, visited Dublin in 1823, and called a me e ti ng at the Rot un d a, for the purpose of p ropounding his views but the det es t a bl e nature of his principles were a bly exposed by several gentlemen, belonging to that class of protestants who are contemptuously called saints, by Mr. O'Connell and his party. But who introduced Mr. Owen to the people of Dublin? Mr. O'Connell himself. Now mark the unblush ing effrontery of. the man. As the Magnus Apollo of popery he introduced the leader of the Socialists to the Irish people in 1823. Notwithstanding his patronage, Owen and his Principles were banished from the Irish capital by some faithful and gifted protestant men. Yet in 1840, Mr. O'Con nell calls on the British public to give popery full credit for the absence of Socialism from Ireland. Mr. Owen's patron age reminds us of the trite proverb, " Like master like man." In 1839, he was introduced to the Queen of England by her Majesty's prime minister, Lord Melbourne, having been previously introduced, in 1823, to the peotile o f I re l and, by Lord Melbourne's master, Mr. Daniel 0 Connell.—ilfora ing Herald. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.--(From a Sydney paper.)—A few days ago, as a vessel, bound for New Zea land, was about to sail out of the heads of Port Jackson, one of the intermediate passengers attracted the attention of the water police authorities who accompany each ship until her final departure from our shores. Though habited in male costume, the passenger alluded to could not conceal feminine gait and manner, and giving but vague and unsatis factory answers to the queries which were put to her, she was suspected to be a runaway female convict, and as such was taken ashore. Being marched up, in her male attire, from the female watchhouse to the barracks, for identifica tion, it was discovered that she was a respectable middle aged single lady, of considerable property, who formerly was governess in two or three families of the very highest respectability in Sydney. 'When interroated by Captain the superintendent of police, as to g the cause of her being disguised, she unhesitatingly answered that she was about to purchase, a landed estate at New Zealand, and tear ing that the native chiefs and others with whom she might have to treat in her purchase, might be disposed to take un due advantage of her sex, in making the bargain, she had resolved to p ass h erse lf off as a man. The vessel, which pro ceeded without the passenger of doubtful sex, conveys pro perty of hers to a very considerable amount, as well as upwards of £9OO in cash. The lady has also.extensive pro perty in Sydney, which, it is said, she intends to convert into cash, and with it, to follow her fortunes in the new colony. altcs bp Ruction. This DAY.
