SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED, LOOSE TEETH FASTENED and filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum Moss. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver pool and its vicinity, that they have opened Establishments permanently at No. 70, SEEL-STREET, Liverpool, (eight doors from Berry-street,) and No. 52, GEORGE-STREET, Manchester. .• _ •.• _ Tliey 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. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectwaly remove this destructive complaint by a single application, without the slightest p a i n . 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 ..... £0 10 0 A complete Set .................... 5 5 0 A complete Set of Natural Teeth , on fine goldplate .................... ...

GALT, BARFF, and BENNETT, 14, llii GORES PIAZZAS, LIVERPOOL, are appointed SOLE AGENTS for the TALACRE COAL, IRON, and STONE COMPANY. The valuable qualities and properties of these Articles will be found fully described in the following Testi monials from eminent scientific authorities : To the Editor of Saunders' News Letter. • Royal Dublin Society's Laboratory, 30th July, 1839. Sir,—A quantity of the Talacre Coal, taken from a cargo in the Company's stores, without any kind of selection what ever, having been sent - 10%4e for trial, with a view to aseer-; ton its fitness for dornestie and other purposes, I, have, used it in all our common fire-places, as the open grate, close stove, and furnace. I have also submitted it to chemical examination, and I have no hesitation in saying that I con sider it an excellent Coal, well adapted both for domestic use and for the purposes of the arts and manufactures. It is remarkably free from slate and iron pyrites, or sul phuret of iron. It is not a heavy or hard Coal, but easily breaks into small pieces. It kindles readily, burns in the open grate freely and pleasantly, producing a cheerful lire, with much heat and flame. It is not what may be considered a caking coal ; for, in burning, it cokes so little that it scarcely requires stirring. It is a lively, - but Ido not consider it a swift Coal : it is a Coal that can be burned with very little waste. Its cinders are very good, yield a durable heat, and leave only about one-fiftieth of incombustible ashes, con sisting of earthy matter and oxide of iron. If 1 mistake not, this Coal will soon become a favourite in the kitchen. _ _ The Talacre Coal, in my opinion, will be found a valuable fuel in breweries, distilleries, glass-houses, vitriol works, &c. The circumstance of its not caking to any extent fits it admirably for furnaces. We cannot use caking coal in our smelting furnaces without admixture of coke or charcoal; whereas the Talacre Coal may be used alone, and affords a very intense heat. From some experiments I made on the smelting of iron and copper in a wind furnace, using only this Coal, the heat produced exceeded my most sanguine expecta tions, and the results I obtained were most satisfactory. This Coal is well adapted for making gas, yielding a large quantity of good quality, which burns with a clear white light. It also makes coke of a very good quality. Such are the valuable properties of the Talacre Coal that it must, I think, soon recommend itself to a discerning pub lic.—l remain, Sir, your obedient servant. EDMUND DAVEY, Prof. Chem.

I have the pleasure to offer to your notice a Stone Quarry in North Wales, whose produce is now importing into Lon don, two cargoes having already arrived ; and, unless I am much mistaken, the introduction of this stone to the British architects will prove a valuable boon. The quarries are situ ated on the coast of Flintshire, within a mile of the Point of Ayr, at the mouth of the estuary of the Dee, and adjoining the grounds of Talacre Hall, the seat of Sir Edward Mostyn, Bart. The mineralogicalcharacter of this stone is that of silicious sand stone, with an argillo-silicious cement. It is of great density, a cubic foot weighing 15411bs.,—is worked with great ease, and, being remarkably free from hard untractable veins and soft places, is capable of a very smooth surface, a tine arris, and the most delicate carving. The closeness of its texture and the fineness of its grain render it very desir able for external work in a large city, as it prevents the soot from adhering to it, and thus clogging up the mouldings and carvings, reducing them to an undistinguishable mass of of blackness—a fault justly complained of in the.l3ath and Portland Stones. For landings and steps, the Talacre Stone far excels the very best kinds of Yorkshire stone, as it is superior in strength, and not liable to scale in the unsightly manner that so frequently destroys the appearance of the the finest pave ments of Yorkshire stone, as may be seen near the post-office and in the Temple ; and as the Quarries are now in the pos session of a' London Company (The Talacre Coal and Iron Company), an abundant supply of large sized stone may be expected. Its colour is very uniform, and to my taste, has a beautiful tone, which eminently fits it for interior finishings, especially in the Gothic style. Its durability 'may be seen in the shrine of St. Winifred's well, at Holywell, in Flintshire, which was constructed of this stone in the 15th century, and though exposed to the humidity of the air, incident to the neighbourhood of moun tains and an arm of the sea, as well as to the clouds of sul phurous smoke from the numerous works on the stream issuing from that celebrated spring, yet still preserves its rich and delicate carvings in a very perfect state. Many other ancient buildings in the neighbourhood have been constructed or ornamented with this stone, as the ancient mansion in the village of Llanasa, with its curious carved porch, erected in 1642, the carvings and ashlar of which are still very per fect; the quoins of Rhyddlan and Denbigh castles, built the latter end of the 13th century; and among modern buildings, Talacre Hall, the seat of Sir Edward Mostyn, Bart. the masonry of which is the admiration' of all. I may mention that the chimney pieces of this mansion, in the Gothic style, are carved in this stone, and have a very beautiful effect. The following is the result of an experiment made on the comparative strength of the Talacre stone with the best Yorkshire : A piece of Talacre stone, 2 feet GI inches long, 31 inches wide, and 2 inches thick, bore for several minutes a weight of 4 cwt. 2 qrs. 1 lb. Best Yorkshire, of the same size, broke immediately with a preSsure of • • .. • .• . • I may add that from the proximity of the quar . ries to the new harbour of port Talacre, this stone can be brought. to London at a price little, if at all, exceeding that of Yorkshire stone. JOHN JENKINS. TEST OF THE POROSITY OF TALACRE STONE, AS COMPARED WITH BALSOVER MOOR. Two pieces of stone, one of Balsover Moor and the other of Talacre, each weighing 1,000 grains, were put at the same time into two different vessels of the same size, each contain ing equal quantities of water. After remaining in the water for 48 hours they were taken out, and allowed to stand a few minutes to enable the water on the surface to run off; they were then weighed with the following result :—The Balsover was found to weigh 1053 grains, thus showing it to have ab sorbed 53 grains weight of water. The Talacre weighed 1031 grains, absorbing 31 grains of water. The obvious cause of this great difference being the loose, and consequently porous structure of the one stone over the other. This experiment being repeated, it was found that the 1000 grains of Balsover Moor absorbed 45 grains in four hours ; the 1000 grains of Talacre absorbed 30 grains in the same time, and after the expiration of two hours more, the stones were again weighed, the Balsover had absorbed 8 grains more water and the Ta lacre 1. grain. They were then returned to the water and al lowed to stand forty-eight hours, but without any additional' weight on the part of either. When a stone is required to wear well, and is much ex posed to the weather, porosity is the worst defect it can pos sess. In the first place it allows vegetation to take place, by giving room for the roots to fix themselves, and containing so much water promotes, as well as supplies such vegetation, to a most injurious degree. Secondly, its porosity is at tended with a more direct evil ; from its structure readily ad mitting water by absorption, in summer weather heavy showers coming on, and immediately afterwards a bright and hot sun makes its appearance shining with great power, the porous stone absorbing a deal of water, the sun soon dries and warms ,the surface, which warmth is, in a very short space of time, communicated to the inner part of the stone, and causes the water to expand, being unable to make its escape the stone scales, 'and flat thin pieces fall off. These remarks also hold goo d in frosty weather, especially when the frost comes on suddenly after much wet, the pressure on the top and sides of the stone cause it to expand towards the surface, which is also one of the causes of the stone scaling. These and other remarks that could be adduced, render it evident that for public buildings, stones of the closest texture should be selected, being less subject to injury from the weather, as above stated. The absorbing power of these stones is nearly in the ratio of 3 to 5. 1 , e Cl c t p e t e i r a a t n i vde supposedC Ch m. is t . t o N.B. . _ ...

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. MOOS. 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. 23, BOLD-STREET, opposite the Concert Room, where Mons. Malian 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 press►ue ; 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 Gnms, 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, Mans. JAMES M. and S. MALIAN have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive com plaint by a single application, with the slightest pain. Mons. MALL AN 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, at fixed and moderate Charges. Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, of mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectual') remedied. Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth and restored equal in beauty and durability to their origini state.

Driver, a f i s h monger residing in High-street, Shadwell, was engaged in his busi ness, he had to cut' open a codfish of about 181 b. weight, in the stomach of which he discovered a ball of paper com pressed togeth er very close. He succeeded w i th great diffi culty in getting it partially open , when he found it to be a copy of th e L on d on Morning' Chronicle of February 11, 1801. The paper is as stiff as parchment, but the reading is tolerably legible, and from its appearance there can be little doubt but it has been in the maw of the fish a considerable time. The fish was caught off the Scotch coast, and it is supposed that the newspaper must have been blown over board from some ship and have been gorged by .the fish, this species inviriabl3, swimming with their mouths wide open. It is no uncommon thing to find stones, nada, and pieces of wood inside a codfish. ✓`~~ r , '--- /// b &alb.

The majestic vessel got under way shortly after on o'clock, and shot away through the billows at a furious pace running past Alum Bay, Hurst Castle, the Needles, am Christchurch Bay, and then, from some difficulty in puttin the helm a-port, the stupendous vessel made a detour, a then bore away for Cowes, up to Spithead, and, passin' the spot near which the Royal George was sunk, finall• her re-appearance at Southampton at a quarter• amidst the acclamations of the assembled th rong. an ,excellent collation was served in the principal s.

The usual toasts of the Queen, Prince Al bert, Queen Dowager, and the rest of the Royal Family were proposed and loyally responded to. The Chairma then gave the health of the several illustrious foreigners wl had honoured the company with their presence. Am ong them we noticed the Baron de Moncorvo, the Portugne minister, and two natives of the East Indies, in the gorgec attire of their country ; they were accompanied by Capt Grindlay, and the splendour of their costume excited univ sal admiration. In drinking to the prosperity of the at and navy, the Chairman reverted to the important acqt tion which the flotilla of steamers now building would t the government in case of war, and added that the ( pany had signed a contract with the government that vessels were to be placed at the disposal of the country v ever they should be wanted. The company separated sl after seven o'clock, and arrived iu town within two and 25 minutes after leaving Southampton.
