fia 11 f.RIFFS' FUN has Lten for many I
I -years established, and is under the care and superintendence of
the Sherif): of London and Middlesex for the time being. The
present Sheriffs feel it therefore their bounden duty, as indeed it is
their anxious wish, to give it all the support and assistance in their
pewee. fishy belivving that neluntl can operate more to reliere
bunion misery and wretchedness, or be more beneficial to the ex-
tent ut its limited means, in preventing an ir.crease of criminal of.
tenders.
Its objects, among many others, are to elfin! assistance to those
unfortunate individuals confined in the prison of Newente. who
hate been driven by distress from the paths of honesty, and to their
finelies during their confinement. To assist those who are set at
liberty at the end of each Session. or on the termination of short
imprisonment, palletising themselves no means of support, and
who, without the aid of this Fund, would in all probability be
driven to the commission of fresh crimes. Jo enabling others to re-
turn home to their gelatin', and friends, often residing at &distance,
tird thereby preventing them hemming again involved in wrvtelieti-
:less and miser:. Te affird some provision to female COT: victs who
are sent abroad, by supplying them with necessaries for their voyage
and otherwise relieving them ; in the clothing and providing situa-
tions on board of ships for juvenile culprits. who are without friends
or relations, and thus preventing them again infesting the streets of
Lontion. and giving them an opportunity of lenvjeg their dissolute
companions. and of becoming respectable members of society.
The Sheriffs earnestly soliint the donations of the charitable and
humane towards this excellent Fund.
The Sheriffs return their warmest acknowledgments to those un-
known benefactors to whom they arc indebted for the Gold. Silver.

FOR PRESERVING THB TEETH AND GUMS.
'pH F. VEUETABLE TOOTH POWDER has so
1 long been in general use, that it is almost unnecessary to
idler any further rscornmendation of It. Composed of vegetables,
15141111 n the admixture of any mineral or pernicious ingredient
whatever, it is free from die usnal objection axamst the use of other
Dentifrices. Its detersive power is just sufficient to annihilate
thotic destructive particle, which adhere to the Coma and the inter-
le :tell of the Teeth; healing injures in the former. and promoting
a now enamel (where it has been injured or corroded) on the latter.
It Likewise imparts a firmness and healthy redness to the flume ;
and if used regularly, will preserve the Teeth in a sound state to
old age.

here comparatively brief :—.first. because we notice none but im.
portant productions ; secondly, because the great events of society
being the subjects of our First Part, we do not mean to make the
titles of trifling works a sort of text under which to treat again of
those events in this our Third Part ; and thirdly, because all the
important discoveries of Science being the subjects of the Second
Part, we here need to review no scientific works. Such events and
discoveries being thus transferred to their proper plate. where they
can be distinctly and dearly treated, we add here a new feature—
Reviews of the Fine Arts.
