11 R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
:ICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
erfeetly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
,ecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
this method does not require the extraction of rests, or any painful
,peration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
ueranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
entered sound and useful in mastication.--52, Fleet-street. At

without the suffering and humiliation of vast in-
solvency ; to watch with sleepless vigilance the
condition► of the gold in the Bank coffers, to be
racked by hope and fear if the arrivals from Aus-
tralia be delayed a week ; to be agonised by an
east wind. All because we persist in staking our
existence on the possession of gold, and at the same
time in supporting a law that renders it impossible
we should permanently retain it.
I say the law prevents the possibility of our
keeping possession of the gold.
Gold money and paper money will not for any
length of time circulate together at equal values.
There are two distinct values in the coin—the
legal tender value and the metallic value, and these
do not coincile, but vary inversely to each other.
Thus, supposing a large quantity of metal to be
taken up by the Mint to be coined and issued, the
bullion would become scarcer and rise in value,
while the legal tender would become more abun-
dant, and fall in value.
At Melbourne, when coia bad become very
scarce, an ounce of coined gold actually commanded
an ounce and a third of uncoined gold of equal
*eness. _ _

While the monopoly we have assigned to gold
raises its value as metal, the issue of legal tender
paper, making legal tender more abundant, lowers
the value of the legal tender. The price of the
gold being fixed by the law which binds the Bank
to take all the gold offered at 31. 17s. 9d., and to
pay it out at 3l 17s. 100., this alternation in value
of money is, for a time, only indicated by the rise
in value of all other articles. This rise stimulates
large exports. The importer looks around for his
returns, all commodities have risen. We are under
no engagement to supply iron, lead, tin, or any
other article at a fixed price, except gold. We
thus bribe the foreigner to take our gold instead
of our goods. The gold being gone the Bank is
compelled to redince her issues of paper. Eight
hundred private and joint-stock banks are instantly
afflicted with the cramp, and seek to lock up the
remaining money by increasing their reserves.
Now, as unreduced debts cannot be paid by re-
duced money, this phasis of our system is equiva-
lent to a general decree of loss or insolvency against
all who, by commercial enterprise have been con-
tributing to the welfare of the country. •
Just at this moment the watchful Times advises
caution, recommends all to limit their transactions,
which means limiting employment, which is
limiting the life of the labourer. It is equivalent
to a proclamation through the land, " Now get ye
to the workhouse or to your graves." No other
resource is left to the labourer thrown out of em-
ployment by this fatal system.
Even the press, the tardigrade press generally,
is beginning to inquire into a system which becomes
daily more incompatible with the advances of com-
mercial civilisation.
