TEETH,—Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following* advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-
tise explaining Mr. Eskell's Patent, &c., free for 7 stamps.

THE HOME SECRETARY AND H.M. SHIP AURORA.
—The replies which Sir George Grey has given to
his various questioners in reference to the movements of
her Majesty's ship Aurora (says the Army and Navy
Gazette) have, in the absence of his chief, been very
cautious. The Aurora has, as Sir George truly stated, not
been ordered to the Baltic; she has been merely sent to
reconnoitre, and in the event of any pledge given by the
Governments of the German Powers being broken by their
officers, she has directions to telegraph the news to London,
and the result can be easily anticipated—the instant depar-
ture of the Channel fleet, The Aurora was, when last
heard of, at Heligoland.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.--Excellent Re-
vivers.—The resources of medicine and chemistry were
long and fruitlessly tried before they yielded a remedy
which could overcome disorders of the stomach and nerves,
011 Professor Holloway discovered his purifying and tonic
Pills. They are the safest and Eurest correctives of indi-
gestion, heartburn, flatulency, torpidity of the liver, twitch-
ings, nervous fancies, despondency, low spirits, and de-
clining strength. Holloway's Pills supersede all erroneous
actions in the body, and so strengthen and support the
system, that disease departs, and leaves the patient little,
it at all, shaken. This is the grand aim and object of
medical art—to regulate disordered functions without
damaging the constitution by the remedy; and admirably
is this end attained by Holloway's Pills.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1864.

MARKETS--This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The demand for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday was by no means active. Holders, however, were
firm, and previous quotations were well supported. The
trade for spring oorn and lour was quiet, on former terms.
On the Continent the corn trade continues dull ; and at
New York, with a very limited export inquiry, both wheat
and tour have considerably declined in value.
The arrivals of English grain up to our markets last
week were moderate. The imports from abroad amounted
to 6,496 quarters of wheat, 2,337 barley, 15,685 oats, 855
beans, 1,574 peas, 513 tares, 5,805 linseed. 7,730 oilseeds,
500 sundry seeds, 485 sacks, and 12,423 barrels of dour.
Compared with Monday last there was a considerable
falling off in the show of samples of English wheat on the i
stands to-day; but the condition of the produce was tole-
rably good. The trade opened with firmness, both Kent
and Essex qualities being held at an advance of is per
quarter.

lacarette under the cabin a chisel was found on the top of a
cask of sherry in bottles, and there was a bottle of sherry
with the neck off, on the top of another cask containing
bottles of ale. There were 7 bottles of ale gone out of one
cask, and nine bottles of sherry missing from another. The
place was in great confusion, and the cabin smelt of sherry
and ale. The prisoner had been on board the Regina at
work for some time, and he was left on board yesterday in
the absence of the captain and mates to take care of the
ship and stores. The chisel found in the lazarette was
taken from the third mate's bunk.

Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to one months' fm
prisonment and hard labour.

As MAD AS A HATTER.--Although an inquiry
respecting this simile appeared in Notes and Queries
as far back as June, 1860, it has not hitherto elicited a
reply. The phrase has now again come up in that amusing
volume, Captain Gronow's "Recollections and Anecdotes:"
—" On the subject of politics, my dear Alvanley, he is as
mad as a hatter." One is at a loss to understand why a
hatter should be made the type of insanity rather than a
tailor or a shoemaker--but may not the phrase in question
be thus explained ? The French compare an incapable or
weak-minded person to an oyster—" He reasons like an
oyster" (huitre). I would suggest, therefore, that through
similarity of sound, the French huitre may, in the ease
before us, have given occasion to the English " hatter."
From " Il raisonno commo une huttre" may have come
out " As iaad as a hatter.'

As MAD AS A HATTER.—Although an inquiry
respecting this simile appeared in Notes and Queries
as far back as June, 1860, it has not hitherto elicited a
reply. The phrasa has now again come up in that amusing
volume, Captain Gronow's " Recollections and Anecdotes:"
—" On the subject of politics, my dear Alvanley, he is as
mad as a hatter." One is at a loss to understand why a
hatter should be made the type of insanity rather than a
tailor or a shoemaker•—but may not the phrase in question
be thus explained ? The French compare an incapable or
weak-minded person to an oyster—" He reasons like an
oyster" (huitre). I would suggest, therefore, that through
similarity of sound, the French huitre may, in the case
before us, have given occasion to the English " hatter."
From " Il raisonne comme une hultre" may have come
out "As mad as a hatter." •
