They continue to fill up the cavities.dr-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.

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 froth' a cargo in the Company's stores, without any kind of selection what ever, having been seut to me for trial, with a view to ascer tain its lituess for domeirc anti other purpOSes, I have.nsed it in all our common tire-places, as the o n grate, close stove, and furnace. I have also subm . t it to chemical examination, and I have no hesitation i ying.that I con sider it an excellent Coal, well adapted b i for domestic use and for the purposes of the arts and man factures. 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 tire, 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 li ve ly, b u t Id o no t cons id er 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 a n d o x id e o f iron. If f 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.

R. H. BRETT, Ch. D.F.L.S. &c Laboratory, Apothecaries' Hall, Liverpool, Bth August, 1839. A PAPER READ AT THE INSTITUTE OF BRITISH ARCH ITECTS. London, 30th March, 1840. TALACRE STONE. I have the pleasure to offer to your notice a Stone Quarry North Wales, whose produce is now importing into Lon on, tWo cargoes having already arrived; and, unless I am much mistaken, the intioduction of this stone to the British architects will prove a valuable boon. The quarries are situ ued 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 15-111bs.,—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 is texture and the fineness of its grain render it very desir able for external work in a large city, as it prevents the soot rom adhering to it, and thus clogging up the mouldings and !arvings, reducing them to an undistinguishable mass of )f blackness—a fault justly complained of in the Bath 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 ae, which eminently fits it for interior finishings, especially 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 fir 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 6/ inches long, 3 1 inches wide, and 2 inches thick, bore for several minutes a weight of Best Yorkshire, of the same size, broke immediately with a pressure 4 cwt. 2 qrs. 1 lb • of I may add that from the proximity of the quarries to the w harbour of port Talacre, this stone can be brought to radon at a price little, if at all, exceeding that of Yorkshire 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, eaeh 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 wereagain weighed, the Balsover had absorved 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 good in frosty weather, especially when the frost comes oa s suddenly after much wet, the pressure on the top and aides of the stone causes 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. CHARLES WATT, Jun., Operative Chemist. N.B.—The Balsover stone was selected and supposed to be superior to any other in the United Kingdom.

SWALLOWING TIIE NEWS. —As Mr. Driver, a fishmonger residing in Hi g h -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 together very close. He succeeded with great diffi culty in getting it partially open, when he found it to be a copy of th e L ondon 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, thi s species in va ri a bl y sw i mm i ng with - their mouths wide open. It is no uncommon thing to find stones, nails, and pieces of wood inside a codfish. .~ ~ / ti Co bt &oar. Q ENTERAL PIANO-FORTES.

The directors of the South Western Railwayoffered to convey the company invited to this Marine housewarming, and for this purpose a special train left the station at Nine Elms, Vauxhall, at five minutes past nine, and arrived at Southampton at twenty-five minutes to twelve, performing the distance of 764 miles it the incredibly short period of two hours and a half. On ar riving at Southampton, the party, consisting of 150 persons were emptied into the French steamer the Havre, which lef the Southampton pier and steamed away to the Orientr which was riding at anchor at about 200 yards from the p' head. The majestic vessel got under way shortly afte o'clock, and shot away through the billows at a fork running past Alum Bay, Hurst Castle, the Christchurch Bay, and then, from some difficulty in puttin the helm a-port, the stupendous vessel made a detour, an, then bore away for Cowes, up to Spithead, and, passing k the spot near which the Royal George was sunk, finally mad' her re-appearance at Southampton at a quarter to seven amidst the acclamations of the assembled throng. At 4 o'clock an excellent collation was served in the principal saloon. The chair was taken by Mr. Ewart, a director of the com pany, and brother of the member for Wigan. The feast went on with great spirit, and the whole company appeared highly gratified. 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 Chair then gave the health of the several illustrious forek-- Needles uau nonourea tne company with their presence. Amongst them we noticed the Baron de Moncorvo, the Portuguese minister, and two natives of the East Indies, in the gorgeouS ►ttire of their country ; they were accompanied by Captain. Grindlay, and the splendour of their costume excited univer sal admiration. In drinking to the prosperity of the army and navy, the Chairman reverted to the important acquisi tion which the flotilla of steamers now building would lie.ta the government in case of war, and added that the com pany had signed a contract with the government that those vessels were to be placed at the disposal of the country when ever they should be wanted. The company separated shortly after seven o'clock, and arrived in town within two hours and 25 minutes after leaving Southampton. The distance would have been acconylished within two hours and a quar ter, but some delay took place at Woking, as the engineer was fearful of overtaking the train which left Southampton, at six. PROJECTED GRAND STEEPLE -CHASE. ^The grandesi steeple-chase ever yet proposed was set on foot at the 'at( great Horncastle horse-fair. The Lincolnshire men, who lasi season gave extraordinary evidence of their taste for steeple• chasing, being necessarily brought in contact with the twc great promoters of steeple-chasing in the vicinity of London, Mr. Joseph Anderson and Mr. John Elmore, led to a dis cussion of the merits of the different horses that had appearct] in nnhli.• : cw, a ...mu was immentately opener test the opinion of each party, of 100 sous each, horse in the world, (bar the renowned Lottery), ~„ k.u.A3 over four miles of a fair hunting country, within twent3 miles of Market Harborough, to be subject to the usua SteeDle4thaite 1,11.1111i;f1no • f 6,.

A sum of money will be added, contributed by those who would promote such sport ; and that there are such was immediately seen on the mere mention of it in one company in Horncastle, for the sum of forty-five pounds was immediately collected ; and if this spirit be followed by others a large sum will speedily be got to gether, and considerably augmented by a: sum raised and given by the town of Market Harborough, or some place adjacent, which circumstances may prove to be eligible for head quarters, (the highest figure will no doubt secure pre ference.) The stake is to close, the horses to be named, and 25 sous paid on the 2d of November next, to Mr. Joseph Anderson, 108, Piccadilly, and no nomination will stand good unless accompanied by 25 sovs ; the race to take place on the 26th of the same month. EXTRAORDINARY FlSH. — There is now in the well at Mr. George Dormer's, at Stone Mills, in the parish of l3ridport, about eight miles from Exeter, where it has been upwards of nine years, a fish of the salmon kind, which weighs about three pounds. This extraordinary fish will eat about half-a-pound of beef-steaks at a time, and in less time than a man could do it ; he will likewise raise his head above water, and take them off a plate from the hand of any per son, or will take a bait from the naked hand, or bite the fin ger of any person if presented to him at the edge of the water. A short time since, a little girl tempting him with a bait, he jumped at it, but, instead of catching the bait, he caught her by the hand and made it bleed profuse ly, and, by the iumn. thrptv sAlaciv muses completely out of water on dry ground. At unother time a young duck ► into the well to solace himself in the water, not thinking an enemy lurking beneath, but he had not long enjoyed him self before Mr. Fish, undoubtedly thinking him a delicious bait, seized him by the legs and drew him under the water, where a hard struggle ensued, but the duck at last disentangled himself, and with great difficulty, regained the land, a cripple by the combat. At another time a full-grown drake ap proached the well and put in his head to drink, the fish immediately seized him by the bill and held him sometime, to the terror and dismay of himself and all the feathered tribe around him, none of which have ever dared since to trespass on Mr. Fish's territory, so that he now enjoys his small domain uninterrupted by such passengers. BARBAROUS MURDER OF AN AGED COUPLE AT PEOVER, CHESHIRE.—On Monday week two murders were commit ted at this place. Peover is a delightfully seclUded spot, dis tant about two miles from Knutsford, and the scene of the murder is the green lane which skirts the noble park and hall of Sir Harry Mainwaring Bart., and forms the bye-road from Knutsford to Macclesfield. The victims are Mr. and Mrs. Cook, a retired farmer and his wife, one in the 70th, and the other 71 years of age. He married late in life, and the house in which he dwelt consisted of four bedchambers up stairs and three rooms and a scullery underneath. His house consisted of himself and wife, and a servant girl, of abou fifteen years of age. On Tuesday morning the alarm of mur der was given by the servant girl, and on the neighbours en tering the cottage in the house-part, or kitchen, they fount both Mr. and Mrs. Cook lying murdered on the floor. Mr, Cook was partly dressed, having his trousers and waistcoat thrown lightly on. Mrs. Cook had nothing on except her usual night attire. They had evidently been both in bed. The body of Mrs. Cook was nearest to the door. She was lying nearly on her face, and her husband ouite body was in on e corner o f the room 9 P"' was a stream of blood on the fl oQr from Mrs. Cook' s body. Her skull um. .3—Gamily fractured, the brain p ro t ru di ng, and, in addition, two heavy wounds were inflicted on her shoulder and under one of her ears. Mr. Cook's skull was also frac tured, and other wounds on his head bespoke the barbarous attack that had been made upon him. On the table was placed a heavy axe , b esmeare d w i t h bl oo d , and bearing such other marks on the heavy, or hammer end, as to le ave no doubt as to its bein g th e instrument with . which . the mur d ers had been perpetrated. It was immediately identified as Mr. Cook's property, and was usually deposited, along with a saw and other tools, in the shippon adjoining the house. In the course of the morning the bodies were examined by Mr. Dean, surgeon, of Knutsford, and he did not hesitate to as sign the cause of death to the blows inflicted, or to say that the death of both parties m us t h ave been almost instantane ous. The bodies were not moved until after they had been examined by the coroner ' s jury, which met at the inquest held in the afternoon of Tu es d ay, at the Mainwaring Arms, before C. Hollins, Esq., coroner of that district. The jury, after a full inquiry, ret urne d a verdict of " wilful murder" against some person to them unknown. infRIBBLE NAVIGATION.—Our readers will be glad to be ormed that the late storm has done so little damage to the third and last length of the coffer dam, that the removal of this last remaining portion of the rock will be commenced in a week or two, and that nearly all the timber which was washed away from this part of the works has been recovered by the contractors. It is also gratifying to learn that the long length of stone walling which is now being made on the right bank of th e r i ver, from the late chain caul to the river Savick, h as not b een in the least displaced or. injured, and that the new c h annel now forming along the line of it has been considerably benefitted by the late flood, so much so that it is confidently expected the course of the tidal stream, with the aid of the powerful steam dredge, will very soon flow entirely in that direction, and thereby enable the com pany very shortly to gain some hundreds of acres of fine pas ture land, especially on the southern sid e of the Ribble. Our spirited and highly esteemed neighbour T. Cl i ft on, E sq., of Lytham Hall, is now in treaty with the directors to make and lease to them, for a term of years,. a spacious wet d oc k , at Lodge Pool, near Lytham, which will be of very great ad vantage to the merchant vessels trading to the Ribble, as it will enable them to lie safely in port, in all sorts of weather, when waiting for favourable winds, either to come up to Preston or to put out to sea, W e h ope one of the next pro jects will be the erection of a light house, at the mouth of the river, to guide the numerous strangers we hope, ere long, to see at our quays.—Preston Chronicle. PORTSMOUTII.—Very active efforts are slaking to procure men for the navy, and if ne cess i ty should arise, the out-pen sioners of Greenwich Hospital will be called on, and surveyed for service.
