TEETH.—By her Majesty's Royal Letters
Patent—Newly -invented and Patented Application of Che-
mically-prepared White India-robber in the constru3tion of Artificial
Teeth, Gums, and Palates.—Mr. EPHRAIM MOSELY, Surgeon-
Dentist, 61, Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square, Sole Inventor and
Patentee.—A new, original, and invaluable invention, consisting in
the adaptation, with the most absolute perfection and success, of
CHEMICALLY-PREPARED WHITE INDIA- RUP-BER as a lining
to the ordinary gold or bone frame. The extraordinary results of
this application may be briefly noted in a few of their most promi-
nent I,:atures, as the following !—All sharp edges are avoided; no
springs, wires, or fastenings are required ; a greater increased free-
dom of suction is supplied ; a natural elasticity hitherto wholly un-
attainable: and a fit, perfected with the most unerring accuracy, are
secured, while from the softness and flexibility of the agent em-
ployed, the grpatest support is given to the adjoining teeth when
loose, or rendered tender by the absorption of the gums. The acids
of the mouth exert PO agency on the chemically-prepared Whit.)
India-rubber, and as it is a non-conductor, fluids of any temperature
may with thorough comfort be imbibed and retained in the mouth,
all unpleasantness of smell or taste being at the same time wholly
provided against by the peculiar nature of its preparation.
To be obtained only at 61, Grosvenor-street, London ;

TELE PRINCIPALITIES.

Our ad:vices from Jassy to the 20th ult. inform
us that the Moldo-Bessarabiau frontier has been
hermetically closed, so that communication from
one country to the other is absolutely impossible.
Mere hauts of Moldavia, though armed with the
best passports, have been unable to effect an en-
trance into Bea sarabia either by Leowa orSkuleny.
What passes on the other side of the Pruth is en-
tirely -wrapped in profound mystery, even to the

Colonel Manteuffel is also a frequent visitant to
Count Buol. It was current to-day that this Go-
vernment had notified to the Cabinet of Berlin,
under date of the 24th ult., that it was considered
the time had arrived when, in conformity with the
military convention of the 20th April last, Prussia
was bound to mobilise a part of her . army. It
was further rumoured that the Vienna Cabinet
had likewise expressed an opinion that the time
had also arrived, in the terms of the resolution of
the Diet, for mobilising a portion of the Federal con-
tingents, and that ;communication to this effect
had been made, not only to the Diet, but also to
the different German States.

At half-past eleven on the night of the 31st, when
only half an hour was left of the time allowed them
for their tender, the French Company concluded
and signed the railroad arrangement, which only
requires the Imperial sanction.
Yesterday we had a complete hurricane here,
which worked especial damage to the wires and
posts of the electric telegraph.
A letter from Vienna, of the 30th ult., in the
Augsburg Gazette, says :
" The concentration of the 4th army in Gallicia will
only take place in the course of the month of January.
It has for object to echelon the troops along the high
roads of that province, in crder to dispose of them for all
the operations required. It may be affirmed, from good
sources, that there are from 180,000 to 190,000 men and
60,000 horses in Gallicia and the Bukowina. Lately
there were 48,800 men in the neighbourhood of Cracow,
40,800 near Lemberg, 30,000 in the countries between
these two places, and 70,000 in Eastern Gallicia and the
Bukowina. The force of the 3d army, nearly altogether
in Transylvania, is from 130,000 to 140,000 men, with-
out reckoning the 40,000 men of Count Coronini, in the
Principalities. The army of operation, commanded by
Baron de Hess, consequently amounts to nearly 360,000
men, without reckoning the reserve, and 100,000 horses.
It is therefore evident that Austria has prepared herself
for the eventuality of making war on Russia, without
the aid of the Germanic Confederation."

COLONEL M‘MURDO.

In consequence of a sudden order from tho Horse
Guards, Col. M'Murdo, who had been distinguished by
his services under Sir Charles Napier' in the memorable
campaign of Scinde, has left his residence, near Black-
rock, Dublin, en route for the Crimea, where he is to
take an important post connected with the Commissariat
Department.

THE FORTHCOMING NAVAL ESTIMATES.

We have good reason for believing that it is intended
to add 7,000 to the naval forces in the forthcoming
estimates for the years 1855-56, making the number to
be voted for the naval service 70,000.

OXFORD, JAN. G.
ELECTION OF A PRESIDENT OF MAGDALEN COLLEGE.
This morning, at 11 o'clock, the Fellows of Mag
dalen College, in obedience to the summons of the Vice-
President (the Rev. H. Harris), met in the College
Chapel for the purpose of electing a successor to the
late lamented Dr. Routh. The number present was 37,
one Fellow (the Rev. W. Palmer) being absent abroad,
and two being Probationers, end therefore not entitled
to vote. After receiving the Communion together, the
Fellows separated into two bodies, according to the pro-
visions of the Statutes. The Juniors, .24 in number,
proceeded to vote for two names, and afber four scruti-
nies, which were requisite before two *candidates had ob-
tained the legal number of votes—a majority of the entire
electoral body (19, therefore, in this instance)7—the
choice of the electors was found to have fallen on the
Rev. Frederick Bulley, 8.D., and the ReV. Andrew
Edwards, 8.D., who had respectively 24 and 21 votes.
The names of these two Fellows were accordingly sent
in to the 13 Seni'rs, whosi (leci,iun was in favour of
the first mentioned. The ntwo-t harmony and good
feeling prevailed throughout the, election.
Mr. Bulley entered Oxford, we believe,- in tl* year
182 d. He shortly afterward-, obtained Demyship at
Magdalen, from which college he took his 8.A.. degree
in 1829. He •was placed in the third class in Literis
Ilumanioribus in the 11.1ielmelinas examination of that
year. Not long afterwards he succeeded to a Fellow.
ship, and after serving various college officer, was, in
the year 1843, appointed one of the College Tutors by
the Late President. This office he has continued to dis-
charge ever since, combining with it, since, the estab-
lishment of the new School of Law and Modern History,
the duties of Lecturer on those subjects. He is a per-
m much respected throughout the University, and it
has long been expected that he would be Dr. Routh's
successor in the Presidentship.
We understand it Is the intention of. thy. college to
pull down the late 'President's house, .and-..rebuild it on
a scale and in . a style better suiting: the general cha-
racter of the College buildings. ' •

RUSSIA,

A letter from Warsaw of the 26th ult., in the
Constitutionnel, says "
The superior Russian authorities in this city are
giving balls and fetes as though numerous triumphs had
been obtained: The day before yeterday Gen. Rudiger
gave a soiree in the Palace of Bruhl, at which the sisters
Dulcken Were heard. Yesterday it was the turn of the
Marshal of the Nobility, but in the middle of the con-
cert, at which Prince Paskiewitch and his wife were
present, the Prince received a despatch from Wilna,
and immediately left the salon with General Rudiger.
After remaining absent for about half an hour, he re-
turned, and sent an aide-de-camp to the citadel, in order,
as it is said, to have accommodation prepared for the
regiments of the Guard, which were to arrive by forced
marches, and which have already occupied a part of the
Kingdom of Poland. General Tumanski has arrived
from Wilna with orders on the subject. There is no doubt
that preparations are being made to reply to the threat
of a coalition. The weakest part of the line of de-
fence against the West, that between Lublin, in Poland,

position is that presented ,by the right bank of tho
Vistula, between the rivers Wieprez, Bug, Narew, and
the Vistula itself, and which is defended by the fortresses
of Zamozc, Ivangorod, Modlin, and Brestz-Litewski.
It is in this square that have been united the greater
part of the troops under the command of General Rudi-
ger, composed of the corps of Grenadiers and the Ist
and 2d corps of Infantry. Behind them are ranged the
guards forming the reserve of that future army of the West,
which towards the North will be supported by the army
of the North, and towards the South by that ofGortscha-
koff. The latter will cover the southern frontiers, and
supply the army of the Crimea and that of the Caucasus.
On the extremities of this immense line are placed to
the North the corps of Finland, and to the South, the
corps of Orenburg, commanded by General Perowski
Behind and in the centre of this circumference are to be
placed the reserves under General Tcheodayeff. It is
hoped that the organisation of this double line of bayo-
nets will be completed before the commencement of next
spring. We do not wish to systematically underrate
the official estimate's of the new levy of recruits which
are calculated at 380,000 men, but we must, neverthe-
less, declare that we have not met with a single battalion
of the regiments of grenadiers having 1,000 men. We
have counted them by companies and by squads. The
regiments have not, therefore, the number of men set
down in the official lists. The same observation applies
to the regiments belonging to the first corps of infantry,
notwithstanding the assurances of the Russians to the
contrary. Russia may still draw a number of soldiers
from the military colonies and the cantonal schools, but
the number is not known."

statements, and say whether these results at all
justify the sanguine hopes that were indulged
in, or support the proposition that all the extra
expenditure can possibly be defrayed out of cur-
rent revenue. All that the attempt has prc-
duced is increased tightness in the money market,
and a diminished ability to meet the demands.
The above constitute the most important items.
The Post-office has an increase of 184,2341. on
the year, of an equal sum on the three-quarters,
but a decrease of 51,7661. on the quarter. We
believe that this latter may be attributed to tem-
porary rather than to permanent causes.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Jan. 2.—The conference of the 28th is
by this time, no doubt, as much the centre of po-
litical interest in London as it is with us. Count
Buol and Prince Gortsehakoff have daily inter-
views ; and two messengers were despatched yes-
terday, at the conclusion of one of these tete-a-tetes,
one to St. Petersburg, and the other to Berlin.
The frequency of these meetings is to be taken as
an indication that there are great difficulties to be
smoothed down, rather than as an index of extreme
cordiality. The Prince has had to-day another
audience of the Emperor, which lasted an hour
and a half.

Colonel Manteuffel is also a frequent visitant to
Count Buol. It was current to-day that this Go-
vernment had notified to the Cabinet of Berlin,
under date of the 24th ult:, that it was considered

TRADE OF HAIITURG IN 1854.

According to the official tables published by the
Mercantile-Statistical Board in the Hamburg Corres-
pondent, the year 1854 appears to have been a very
favourable one for the trade of this city. The total
number of ships with cargoes from foreign parts amounts
to 4,596, with 903,200 tons, and clews numbering
40,694 men, or about one man to 22 tons (against 4,174
vessels of 743,493 tons, and 34,149 men in 1853, show-
ing a general increase of 722 vessels, and about 160,000
tons of shipping, or about 21 per cent).
The number of British ships arrived from all parts
was 1,345 against only 1,288 in 1853, whilst the arrival
of vessels of all nations from parts in Great Britain and
Ireland was 1,942 against only 1,690 in 1853.
Classified according to the national flags, the follow-
ing are the results : —Hanoverian. 1,375 ; British, 1,345;
Hamburg, 746 ; Danish, 423 ; Dutch, 410 ; Oldenburg,
122 ; Norwegian, 35 ; French, 95 ; Swedish, 65 ; Spa-

the other European flags.

a convention was arranged between England and France

could be paid to its destination, and international ac-

Government. The following table shows the full post-

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

Our advices from Jassy to the 20th ult. inform
us that the Moldo-Bessarabiau frontier has been
hermetically closed, so that communication from
one country to the other is absolutely impossible.
Merchants of Moldavia, though armed with the
best passports, have been unable to effect an en-
trance into Bessarabia either by Leowa orSkulenv.
What passes on the other side of the Pruth is en-
tirely ,wrapped in profound mystery, even to the

population of the frontiers ; it is only known that
immense Russian reinforcements are on their way
to the theatre of war, but whether for Odessa or
the Crimea it is,impossible to say. Round towers,
apparently on the plan of the martello towers on
the English coast, are in course of erection around
Ibraila, so placed as mutually to protect each
other. Iskender Bey, with his bashi-bazouks, is
at Futeschti, a village on the Danube, between
Isatchka and Tultscha. He has been employed in
establishing there a tete de pont, defended by bat •
teries that command the Danube.

THE WAR IN BUENOS AY.RES.

The following is a copy of a letter dated Buenos
Ayres, Nov. 13, 1854, received yesterday per the
mail steamer Iniperador
" Communications from General Hornos to the 11th
instant, have set our minds at rest as to the iniquitous
invasion. As we expected, the invaders have found no
sympathy in the masses of our rural districts, and, after
a merited chastisement, have retraced their steps,
covered with ignominy, and proclaiming their impotency
in a manner that must undeceive their partisans and in-
stigators. It is probable they will not be in a state to
make another attempt during the political existence of
General Urquiza, whose borrowed prestige wanes apace,
and promises a speedy extinction.
" The question now is, whether General Hornos
should follow up the advantage gained, demanding
satisfaction, and exacting effective guarantees from the
Government of the province of Santa IN. The occa-
sion is tempting, and yet we question its expediency..
It would be throwing down the gauntlet to the 13
provinces presided over by Generals .17rquiza, who
would not scruple to negotiate alliances by bartering
the rights and interests of the Republic. Besides,
the organisation, discipline, and morality of our veteran
force are not exactly of the kind to be employed in s
foreign war, in which intrigue and bribery are the most
formidable weapons to be encountered.
"In these circumstances we would prefer a deofswation
of absolute independence, leaving the other provinces to
work out their own social regeneration ; and if the time
should come when they are disposed to treat for a re-
union, it would be easier to treat on a footing of mutual
independence than from the undefined and anomalous
position in which we now stand. Withal, we suspect
the current of public opinion is in favour of immediate
hostilities, which may precipitate the fall of General
Urquiza, or involve us in a labyrinth of unforeseen com-
plications.
" To eke out his scanty resource•, General Urquiza
has added 6 per cent, to his import tariff—a measure
that must still further alienate the provinces when its
spirit and tendency are comprehended.
" The victory of General Hornos has saved our im-
port and local commerce from an overwhelming crisis
which we fear may be prolonged or aggravated by the
hostile policy apparently in the ascendant. We throw
out the suggestion for the guidance of those whores
may concern, and await the verdict of time."

ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.

Among the mazy attractions with which the metro-
polio at this festive season abounds, one of the moat
highly appreciated appears to be the entertainments at
this renowned establishment. The Battle of Alma, of
which at the time of its first production we spoke in
high terms of commendation, still possesses that charm,
of attraction so greatly prized by managers ; abut the
addition of the capital pantomime of Gulliver's Travels
through the Horse Island ; or, Harlequin Britannia, has
indeed proved a trump card for the enterprising lessee,
Mr. W. Cooke. On our visiting the theatre last night we
experienced a treat only to be had here at Christmas,
namely, of witnessing the looks of surprise and amaze
went and hearing the expressions of delight by the juve-
nile portion of the audience at the wonders worked by
the wand of the protecting fairy and the changes by the
hat of harlequin. The house was crowded in every
part ; and to parents wishing to give their " olive
branches" a treat v 4 e do not think they can choose a
mere attractive one than a visit to the " Royal Amphi-
theatre," as poor Ducrow used to say.

.BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

CAUTION TO HOUSEKEENERS.—This morning three
men in the employ of Mr. Judkins, the extensive coal
merchant, of Milford-lane, were placed at the bar,
charged with stealing a ton of coals.
The facts of the case, as detailed in evidence, were
as follow :—Th4rosecutor, Mr.lWatts, it appeared, had
ordered five ton of coal to be delivered at 63, Lincoln's-
inn-fields. The coals were duly, weighed, and left
Mr: Judkins' premise,;., four tons in a waggon, and
the remaining ton in a cart. The coals in the waggon
were deposited in the cellar of the house, but the ton
in the cart never reached its destination. It was
asserted by the prisoners that the ton of coals had
been delivered during the absence of the boy who Lad
been appointed by Mr. Watts to see the proper quan-
tity " shot." On Mr. Watts discovering the fraud he
immediately sent to Mr. Judkins' wharf, and a gentle-
man from the firm attended. The coals in the cellar were
weighed, and only four tons were found there.
The magistrate asked the prisoners what they had
to say, and one of the men who had charge of the
waggon said he "delivered his coals ;" and the man
who had charge of the cart made a similar answer.
Mr. Henry said it was perfectly clear a robbery had
been committed, and he should remand the prisoners
in order to allow the police time to find out where the
missing ton was delivered ; at the same time he thought
greater care than was generally the case should be taken
by parties receiving coals, as this sort of thing was car-
ried on to a very great extent. In this case the non-
delivery of the ticket led to the discovery of the fraud.

ANOTIIER NEW FINANCIAL MBASUBB.

-
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 25.—As a general rule, the
Russian journals are strictly prohibited from publish-
ing any personal news about any of the members of the
imperial family. In all cases of births, deaths, and
marriages, it is the Czar himself who acqueints his
loving subjects with the news by means of a manifesto
to the nation. Under these circumstances it is mot to
be wondered at that the newspapers here have not ,dared
to say a word about the alarming illness of the Empress ;
but today it has slipped out for the first time in rai.ther
a startling manner. In communicating the fact of the
arrival, the day before yesterday, of the Grand pukes
Nichol as and Michael from the army in the Crieeett,
"one visit to their sick mother," it goes on to Add,
"the 'health of the Empress is improving ;" from which
it apj sears that she is still unwell. It is privately cir-
cola ;tad here, in well-informed circles, that her illnues
is ini) re a disease of the mind than the body, and mainly
brou g7ht on from her intense. anxiety to prevent a nip.
ture ii etween the Czar and King Clicquot.
Ai Father new financial measure just published slao ws
the d esperate state of the Russian treasury, and al lea to
what straits the Czar is put to find money for carrying
on a c war. It appears in the shape of an In tverial
ukase, and levies an annual tax of 500 silver r oubles
(nearly SOL) on all manufactories of tobacco and ?agars,
and irs order to restrict such fabrications from being
carried on as hitherto in private houses for their do westio
con3tr nption, a tax of 300 silver roubles is imp owed on
such • private establishments. It must be gratis yin g to
the S tussiaus to get an official insight into the na ystories
of El ieir Government exchequer from the folio vying pre-
am be t,o the ukase :
"In onsequence of the imperative necess IV of int-
Droving a ur finances in the present critical stat a oi affairs
Ivy impost new taxes on our liege subject ;w,

BARBAROUS OUTRAGE.

The Connaught Watchman, has the following account
of an occurrence, which took place near Crossmolina
A. woman who, with her three children, lived in a
lonely situation, had received 301. front her husband
in America. One night she was awoke by a loud
knocking at the door, to which she replied that no one
should be admitted at that time ofnight. Being entreated,
however, for the sake of the Almighty, she con•
sented to give a live coal to warm the weary traveller.
No sooner did she open the door than a man rushed
in, and placing a pistol to her breast, commanded her
to bring her money to him if she would avoid instant
death. Terror-struck, the woman came and placed
101. in the robber's hands. Not satisfied, he demanded
more, and obtained another 101. This was not yet suf-
ficient. 'You have yet ten,' said he, bring them or you
must now die.' The woman parted with all rather than
her life. With the treasure the villain decamped, but
fearing that he was recognised, immediately returned,
and telling the woman that die she must, he ordered
her to chose one of three things, death by shooting,
hanging, or burning. The poor woman fell down
insensible, and the wretch proceeded to adjust a
rope to the woman's neck and the house beam.
Fearing, however, that this might not be able to bear
the load, he reached up both hands to test the beam,
and was instantly fastened there—whether by sudden
paralysis or otherwise is not known—and remained
hanging by the hands to the roof tree of' the cabin.
Meanwhile the two brothers of the woman, living at
some distance, troubled by dreams about their sister,
were compelled to rise and proceed at once to her dwel-
ling, where they found their sister in a swoon, and her
intended murderer suspended as above described. As-
sistance being procured the wretch was secured, with part
of the beam in his hands, and safely conveyed to the gaol
of Castlehar, where he now lies awaiting trial. He was
at once recognised as the woman's nearest neighbour,
though blackened and disguised.

FOREIGN SPIRITS.—During the eleven months termi-
nating on the sth of December last no less than
10,182,817 gallons of foreign spirits have been imported.
In the like period of 1853 the quantity imported was
8,497,197 gallons, and in 1852, 8,237,027. This in-
crease is; of course, attributable to the circumstances of
the war ; for of rum, with which our sailers and soldiers
are supplied, out of 7,536,685 gallons imported in the
eleven months of last year, only 2,843,331 gallons paid
duty for home consumption. In the eleven months of
1853, 2,841,916 gallons, and in 1852, 2,075,269 gallons
were entered for home consumption.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Jan. 2.—The conference of the 28th is
by this time, no doubt, as much the centre of po-
litical interest in London as it is with us. Count
Buol and Prince Gortschakoff have daily inter-
views ; and two messengers were despatched yes-
terday, at the conclusion of one of these tete-a-tetes,
one to St. Petersburg, and the other to Berlin.
The frequency of these meetings is to be taken as
an indication that there are great difficulties to be
smoothed down, rather than as an index of extreme
cordiality. The Prince has had to-day another
audience of the Emperor, which lasted an hour
and a half.
