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 effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single application, without the slightest pain. Mons. La 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.

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 lie at present remains. The deceased, who was a fine look ing woman, has left a boy, aged ten years, to lamenther 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 pursup 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 IPSWICI4—TWENTY HOUSES DESTROYED,—IPSWICII, 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 commenced in a loft belonging to Mr. Horn, sail-maker, and soon extended to the whole building, which is totally destroyed. Adjoining thi s 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 sailmalcer, 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 a b out 400 quarters of malt on the top of it. Th e 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 T. Cobbold, Esq., and is, we believe, not insured, Cambridge Chronicle. " STRAWS THROWN UP," &C. -- It will be remembered that in Sheridau's play of " The School for 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-Roytd, Mr. Charles Mathews playing Charles Sur face, and Mr. G. Horneastle Careless. In the scene alluded to, in disposing of the mayor and aldermen, Mr. Horneastle exclaimed—" Going, going, gone ; there, r ue k nocke d d own 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 redoubled energy, 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. Mons. JAMES M. and S. MALLAN, Surge. Dentists. respectfully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and nhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity, that they have ; .ened an Esta blishment, .permanently, at No. 23, ' ODNEY-STREET, opposite Leece-street, where Mons.

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 3s. Gd. costs.— Manchester Courier. KNIGUTIIOOD : 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.

GRIMSTONE'S CELEBRATED EIygNUFF, tinder the patro nage o f hi s late Majesty, he Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent, and the Lords the Treasury) IS universally recommen d e d b y the Va. ty for its effica c y in removing Disorders incident t le Eyes and Head. It will prevent Diseases of a Scroful s 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:ABEHI4ETHY used it, and termed it the Faculty's Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum. Dr. ANIMEWS also recommends its use as a preventive. (See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times, Cheltenham Journal, and British T rave ll er, i n Nov. 1831.) He says, " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect on the stomach, as well as the nerves of the head, from 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.

The discovery of Mr. Grimstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by it s un f a ili ng influence on the n ervous 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 cur " 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 Eve 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."-01d Eng land, 11th January, 1840.

We have had ocular demonstra tion of the value of his snuff, which we tried out of curiosity, having at the same time a slight affection of opthalmia, which the use of the snuff very speedily removed. We therefore cordially recommend it to the public."—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.

SUGAR AN ANTI - SCORBUTIC.—It is a curious fact tila 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 Old 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 Wectnesday a large flagstone, near the Post-office, New-road, Driffield, attracted attention being observed to have risen about three inches from its bed without any visible cause. On being lifted up by Mr. Wir Clark, bricklayer, to ascertain the cause, he di large species of fungi, or gross mushrooms, growing the flag. The mushrooms were two and a half inches high but much flattened with the pressure, weighed 141 b., and the largest measured six inches in diameter. The power must have been very great to move the flzer, since it was lastly bedded and wedged in between those adjoining. Similar cir cumstances have also lately occurred in other parts of the town, which may be attributed to the very wet season.

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 moral influence of popery. Mr. Owen, the originator of this dia bolical system, visited Dublin in 1823, and called a meeting at the Rotunda, for the purpose of propounding his views ; but the detestable nature of his principles were ably 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 p r i me m i n i s t er , L or d M e lb ourne , having been previously introduced, in 1823, to the people of Ireland, by Lord Melbourne's master, Mr. Daniel O'Connell.—illorn ing Herald. scovered two EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.--(From a Sydney days ago, as a vess e l, b ound for New Zea land,aboutev to sail out of th e h ea d s of Port Jackson, one of the intermediate passengers att racted the attention of pape r was A f the water police authorities who accompany each ship until her final departure from our shorts. 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 wa s taken ashore. Being marched .up, in her male attire, from the female watchbouse 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 interrogated by Captain Imes, the superintendent of police, as to the cause of her being disguised, she unhesitatingly answered that she was about to ins, a l an d ed estate at New Zealand, and fear g that the native chiefs and others with whom she might have to treat in her purchase, might be disposed to tak due advantage of her sex, in making the bargain, sli resolved to pass herself off as a man.
