RIFLE VOLUNTEER CORPS.
There is now as much difference between the Rifle of the
enasseurs de Vincennes and our Regulation Muskets, as between our
mu ket an,i the tvors and arrows of the Indian.

By a very simple instrument called a Stadia, distances can. be
measured, accurately, to suo yards, and the sights of the Rifle can
be adjusted to the space indicated by the Stadia, so that at a distance
of 765 yards this Rifle would, to a certainty, knock down a Life
Guardsman In spite of his cuirass, and at 1,100 yards a front of 10
men.

Extract from a letter in the " Times," Jan. 3, 1852 :
" Improved Rifles are now being madelfor Messrs. Nicoll, in which
the good points of a model, procured from France, are retained ;
such, with the measuring instrument or stadia, will be supplied by
them, with other portions of a complete uniform, cap, coat, trousers,
and sword (to be used also as a bayonet), for a very moderate sum ;
but calculations will be made for the supply of an entire corps—
singly it will necessarily be more expensive."
Samples of an outfit for eight guineas may now be seen at the
Warerooms of H. J. and D. NICULL, ARMY CLOTHIERS, 114,
116, 118, 120, REGENT•STREET, LONDON.

Mr. ANEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.-
HO WARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet•street, has in-
troduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL
TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so per-
fectly resemble the natural teeth, as not to be distinguished 'from the
originals by the closest observer ; they will never ekange colour or
decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used.
This Method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and
is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical,
he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication,

TO a GENTLEMAN ABOUT to PURCIIA.SE
A SUIT OF CLOTHES.
You tell me, Sir, that you intend to go
In quest of clothing—where, you do not know;
No tailor in particular you name,
While thus you hint of purchasing the same ;
But you as good as tell me that in this,
You'll play a game of hazard—hit or miss.
And shall I let you go without advice,
Both with regard to quality and price ?
No—since you are a stranger to the place,
I'll tender my assistance in the case.
"All is not gold that glitters," is a phrase
Well worthy of remembrance now-a-days.
At whatsoever Mart you migh• apply,
You'd find the garments lauded to the sky.
And very likely you'd be led to view
These plausible harangues as strictly true :
So take a timely hint from one that knows,
And act with caution when you buy your clothes.
I know a Mart—the fairest in the trade—
Where solid, sterling bargains may be made,
'Tis HYAM'S Mart to which I now refer—
A warehouse which, for years, has caused a stir.
'Tis here where I obtain my own attire,
Which, I have beard you say, you much admire.
'Twas HYAM'S firm that honourably made
The first grand movement to reform the trade ;
And HYAM'S were the first who brought to bear
Those new improvements in the dress we wear.
Till lIYA M came, the Continental styles
Surpassed the fashions of the British Isles;
And 'twas acknowled&ed by a vast majority,
That England, here, was in a sad minority.
But this deficiency on England's part
Was soon made up by HYAM'S matchless art ;
And France, herself, who once would yield to none,
Confesses, candidly, that she's outdone.

I add no more—l see you look surprised,
And, doubtless, you will act as I've advised ;
For such superior dress you'll not begrudge
A Price so moderate—" You're too good a judge."
