LIGHT!-PRIZE MEDAL FOR LAMPS.
Clark's Lamas are the best. Their equal is unknown, and
their suderior may never come. How light, how gay, how bright,
;oyons we feel in light. The sun pours forth its glorious "rays to
gladden myriads with its glorious li.rht. It is a remarkable fact that
in the Papal kingdoms there is little light, but in Protestant lands
there is much light. Clark's Dia'xionl Lamps for general use are
the best in the w rid Clark's Vertical Lamp far excels the French
Moderator Lamp, and all other Lamps constructed with machinery.
Clark's Pearl Candle 'Lamp surpasses all other Candle Lamps..
rtie Public should ask for Clark's Lamps, and purchase none other.
They can be had in ;treat variety, at all prices and for every use, at
the Establishment of the Metropolitan Light Company, 447, West
Strand, near the Lowther-arcade. RICH kRD CLARK, Resident
Manager. Lamps in every variety are sent out on hire at two-
thirds the usual charge, that the Public may be convinced which
Lamps are the best.

52. FLEET-STREET.
ANEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.-
Mr. 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 ebange 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
renderel sound and useful in mastication,

"VIRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.
1112 The following testimonial is another proof of the great efficacy
of this medicine :

"Winchmore Hill, Middlesex, April 16, 1851.

" Sir,—ln consideratim of the great benefit I have derived from
taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you
and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of
nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine.
I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion,
but a friend having induced me to snake a trial of Frampton's Pills,
I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during
this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other
medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a
better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg
further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and
we know of nothin to equal it.
Sir, es pectfully,
THOMAS PROVINCE.

" To Mr. T. Prout, 229, Strand, London. .
This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for
correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, and aro a

Sir B
Offices of the Company, 65, Moorgate4trtet, London, B. Rooth, K.C.8., President, in te Chair—lt was fesolved, that
" The Directors are hereby authorised and directed to borrow the
sum 01 One Hundred and Fifty Thousand PiAinds upon the security
of the Deben•urc Bands of the Company, in conformity with the
41st Clause of the Act of Parliament Canada,
7th." ,of C cap. "1"Ict.

In accordance with the above resolution, the Directors are pre-
pared to receive offers of the whole or part of 100,000/. in sums of
1001. and upwardc, at the rate of per cent. per annum interest,
and for periods of five, seven, or ten years.
The Capital of the Compant is 500,0001. in 25,000 Shares of 201.
each, of which sum only Fl. per Share, intended
the uncalled capital, 375,0001., remaining as security to those who
i to be called up
may lend money to the Company for the specified periods agreed on.
Under no circumstances will the amount of money
received oa de-
;
posit exceed the amount of • Share Capital uncalled, which of itself
will constitute a complete guarantee for the re-payment of deposits
or loans made to the Company. But, in adoition to, and distinct
from it, the Depositor will have the entire investments
of Share and
Loan Capital in Canada as a collateral security, and in no case does
the amount halt upon mortgage of land exceed half the marketable
value of the property appraised by competent persons. Thus if the
Debenture Debt be 375,000/., equal to the uncalled part of the capi-
tal, and therefore the largest sum that will be raised, it will be se-
cured by mortgages for 500,0001. on real "Mates of the value of at
least 1,000,0801.
There is a general registration of deeds relating to Land in

BIRMINGHAM, MARCH 18.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets, on the 13th, the wheat trade ruled dull, with the
turn in favour of the buyer. Barley maintained its value,
with an improved demand. Oats unaltered. Beans fully as
dear. Peas rather cheaper. During the present week, the
transactions reported in the trade are again on the most
limited scale. To effect salts in wheat, lower prices must be
submitted to, but holders are firm ; and the same remark ap-
plies to barley, except that former prices have been realized on
retail parcels of grinding qualities. Nothing worth notice
doing in oats, beans, or peas. At this day's market there was
a less supply of wheat, yet the trade ruled dull, with the turn
again in favour of the buyer ; but we make no alteration in our
quotations of any description. Fine barley Is per quarter
lower ; but grinding parcels were taken slowly at previous
prices. To make progress in oats, a reduction of 6d p'r
quarter must have been submitted to. Beans and peas un-
altered.

THE NORTHAMPTON MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—The Northampton meeting some seven or eight
years ago was a very inferior one ; it is now the first
great meeting of the season. It can boast of two days
as good racing as any other meeting in the kingdom ;
it is marked for decision on Wednesday and Thursday
next. The ball opens with the Trial Stakes of 10 sous.
each with 40 added, over the mile course ; three 3 ears
old to carry 6st, four years Bst, fire Bst 8!b, six and
aged Bst 131 b; which weights are, to my thinking,
against the four years old, and in favour of all the other
ages. Of the twelve nominations to this stake
some half a dozen are of a very superior class ;
for not only do we find the best mare of the present
time—Nancy—figuring amongst them, but also the names
of the Prime Minister, the Black Doctor, Clincher, the
High Sheriff, and Paddy Bird. This stake is enveloped
in considerable mystery this year; Nancy is certainly
entered, but nobody knows for a certainty what are the
intentions of her owner or owners; what seems to be
known inclines towards her being a non-starter, which
fits with my own opinion likewise. The Prime Minis-
ter, after his exhibition at Warwick, I cannot place my
unreserved faith in. Trinket, though a clever little fel-
low, is outmatched here. Old Rowley, The Monk, and
Equal are about equal in uselessness. The Glee colt
has shown a little bit of running, and may do so on this
occasion. The Black Doctor' I fancy, will not put in an
appearance. The result of tllo race, I imagine, wilt lie
with the High Sheriff, Clincher, and Paddy Bird; nod
if the HIGH SHERIFF cannot win, why I presume Paddy
Bird or Clincher will.

The Sweepstakes of 100 sove. each for three years
old is already decided; the Duke of Bedford's and Lord
Spencer's nominations being dead, Lord Exeter and Mr.
Greville divide the forfeit?.

The Northampton Triennial Stakes, of which this is
the second year, out of' its twenty-two nominations will
probably have but a very few starters. lied Hind's
potent name figures on the list, but whether she will be
Drought out on this occasion, or reserved for more
valu-
able engagements yet to come, is atthe present writing
very dubious;—if she runs, shewins
Ambrose or rho
as a matter of
course ; in her absence, Lord Exeter's
representative of the confederates' stable,
Frantic, will be the winning nag, Magner probably
e being the only
other animal of note they are likely to
encounter. For
this stake the Prioress filly, The Stag,
the Third, Toga, Mecca and Baleine fillies, eorge
Horton
Yates, Bold Boy, Petrel, and Haitoe colts are already as
good as scratched.
The Whittlebury Stakes of 10 SUM each, with 100
added, three quarters of a mile, for two and three y ears
old, the former to carry 6st 41b, and the latter Bst 81b,
with penalties for winning various stakes, out of its sub-
scription list of forty names, will probably attract to
the post a very large field. The difference in weight
between the two and three years old, in my opinion,
considerably favour the younger batcb. It seems some-
what absurd for me to attempt to select the winner of a
stake for which so many unknown animals are entered,
but the goodness of my information will, I think, allow
of my satisfactorily accomplishing the task, as will pos-
sibly be evidenced by the running next week. Longbow
is by far the best of the three years old, at least such
is my opinion ; of the two years old Pantomime
(a very doubtful runner), Frenzy, Mocaesin,
Glenavon, Warwhoop, and Cheddar are the best to all
appearance. Now, as three of these are in one stable,
and each of them equally forward is their work, it is
somewhat difficult to select the nag that will represent
the stable; but as Glenavor, whom I consider the finest
looking one of the lot, is engaged in the Althorp Park
Stakes, it is not at all improbable but that Frenzy or
War whoop will represent Messrs. Greville and Payne's
interests; any how I think it will not be presumption to
say, that the race is pretty nearly a certainty for Messrs.
G. and P. Mocassio, as well as Cheddar ere both tidy
animals, and Longbow the best of the northern horses
engaged in it.
Very recently (March 3d and 4th) I gave my
analysis of the Great Northamptonshire Stakes
to the world ; and as my opinions expressed
therein are in nearly every instance unaltered,
it will be unnecessary to wade through their
respective chances again. The Fyfield stable
have a couple in the race, both four years old, but at a
great difference of weight —Teddiugton being handi-
capped at Bst 131 b, and Storyteller at 7st. Which is
to bo the animal is not altogether clear at the present
moment, Teddington'a weight is a stopper, and al-
though they might, perchance, repeat the Fernhill dose
with Storyteller, yet I almost feel inclined to prefer the
heavy to the light weight. Clouds of doubt and mys-
tery surround Cariboo, which will no doubt be cleared
away in the course of the next eight and forty hours—
until when I defer giving my opinion respecting his
chance. Clothworker will run uncommonly well. Doubt
carries a few pounds too much. Uriel is a dubious starter.
King of Oude, if a starter, will run forward. Mark Tapley
is on the missing list; Cockcrow I think will be. Chief
Justice is Dawson's horse, and in the absence of Cariboo
will be about the winner. Darkie is the best of the
Newmarket division. Landgrave and Hesse Homburg
were scratched on the 15th instant. Herbert is stale.
Combatant a hurdle-racer. Grand Doke is over-rated.
Jack-in-the-Corner may remain there. Knook Knoll,
if he runs, or Haresfoot in his absence, will be very
forward. Tom Holtby does not seem to bo altogether
the thing, or nothing could prevent him getting a place
at the least. Ballet Girl 'is much fancied by her
party, and looking at Valentine's winning last year,
might go and do likewise,_ both being of the
sorry class. May-day and Harpsichord, together
with Cyclops, Blood Royal, Old Rowley, Pluck,
Delia colt, Jemima filly, Termagant, and one or two
others of the light weights form the component parts of
my hopeless list. Royalty's and Poodle's condition I
do not know much about, therefore will say nothing.
Surprise is said to be in the same condition as he was a
fortnight since. Mr. Magenis's Ingratitude, a 4 yra old,
with 2st 81b up, ought to cut some sort of a respectable
figure in the race, though I doubt it much. To draw
my observations to a point, I consider that
CLOTHWORKER, and CIIIEF JUSTICE look much more
like bu.iness than any others; and that a second class
division may be made to consist of Story teller, Tom
Htioltby,aresfoot,, and Ballet Girl. It any of this lot
are destined to do the deed it will be Ballet Gill. As
,he case at present stands, commend me to a voyage on
the money says CHIEF JUSTICE for choice.

LECTURE ON TRACTARIANIS.V.
Lest evening the Rev. J. E. Gladstone delivered a
lecture to a very numerous audience in the hall of the
Freemasons' Tavern, on the question " What to be
done with Tractarianism ?" On entering the ball the
reverend gentleman was received with loud demon-
strationa of applause. The chair was taken by C. J.
Snitch, Esq., who, in a neat speech, apologized for his
inability to adequately discharge the duties of president
on so important an occasion, but said his heart and soul
was with the great and glorious cause which brought that
assembly together.—(Cheers.) It was his proud boast
to call Mr. Gladstone his friend; for he looked upon him
as the Martin Luther of modern times.—(Cheers.)
The Rev. Mr. GLADSTONE then came forward and,
in a lecture which extended to considerable length, and
elicited throughout the warmest enthusiasm of the meeting,
drew a truthful picture, interspersed with apt illustra-
tions and just and well-merited denunciations of the
insidious and dengeroue itflaence of Tractarianism,
which, unfortunately, is now making such inroads upon
the Protestant Church of England. lie felt greatly
honoured in being selected by Hite, who by the weak
things of the word contended against those that were
mighty, to be the weak inttrunient by which persons
might be made to see whet they did not see before, and
if God :houhl be pleased by that yet small and insuffi-
cient movement to raise theseunntry to an earnest deter-
mination to put away from it the accursed thins, then
his services would not have been unprofitable.—(Cheers.)
There were some kinds of knowledge which brought
with tlec re great responeibilitiee. - ' •
This was p eu 'any So
with Tractaritteism. A true knowledge of that system,
which he said could not be painted black enough, was
accompanied by a deep, heavy, and solemn responsibility,
to extirpate it from amongst theru.—(Cncers.) They
were told it was not charitable to speak hard things of
others. In these days, when they attacked
„aniee'lpile‘trstohne
they were expectcd to use pleasant and graceful modes
of speech, instead of saying in plain English i
devil."—(Cheers.) He endeavoured had
to point out on
a former occasion what Tractarianism was, and to know
it, and to be convinced that it deserved their hearty ab-
horrence, and that their safety, comfort, and happiness
depended upon their getting rid of it.—(Cheers.) The
lecturer next adverted to the disloyalty of Tractarianism,
alleging that true Tractarians were tyrants to those be-
low them, and rebels to those above them, and then com-
mented on the present disposition of Tractarianism in
the country, particularly with reference to the establish-
ment of Protestant convents. One of these establish.
meats, which was under the special patronage of the
Bishop of Exeter, he said, bad been dragged faithfully
before the public by the Rev. Mr. Spurrell, who had con-
ferred inestimable benefit upon the country by so
doing. He denominated the letter recently published
in answer to that gentleman's exposure by Miss Sellon,
as a wicked and flimsy reply. Upon the Rev. W. Brock's
pamphlet, entitled . " Tractarianism Schismatical and
Dishonest," he passed a high compliment, and recom-
mended its perusal by all who wished to be informed on
the subject. In that publication, which was addressed
to Lord Lyttelton, one of the most insidious of the body,
the writer said he believed the principles and proceed-
, ings of Tractarians to be dangerous to the Crown and
monarchy of England, subversive of the glory of the
Constitution, and destructive of the reformed faith of
the national Church.—(Cheers.) The writer also
said the Church of England had always been charac-
terised by the most affectionate and devoted loyalty, but
that in these degenerate days a bishop might be no-
toriously unfaithful oven to the Lord of bishops, and
might support treason against the Queen under the
garb of Tractarianism, and yet not a word was to be said
against him. On the conclusion of his lecture the rev.
gentleman urged upon all present the necessity of being
alive to the dangers that surrounded their Church, and
of leaving nothing undone which was calculated to
thwart an enemy whose proceedings were opposed to
the temporal as well as spiritual welfare of the corn-
munity.—(Cheers.).

Another lecture, continuance of the same subject,
will be delivered by Mr. Gladstone next week.

ROYAL POLYTECIINIC INSTITUTION.
We promised some time ago to give a report of Mr.
J. H. Pepper's lecture on " Schteeter's Amorphous, or
Red Phosphorus," and we gladly fulfil our task, on ac-
count of the great importance of the facts brought for-
ward by the Learned Professor. In the first place, al-
lusion was made to the great use of phosphorus in this
country for the manufacture of lucifer-matches, about
100,0001bs. of phosphorus being annually consumed;
and in comparing the relative convenience and
cheapness with the old• fashioned tinder-box, it appeared
that a clever author had estimated the value of the
number used, some thirty years ago, in the United
Kingdom, at about 113,8501, whilst the matches cost
yearly 25,8641. 16s. 3d., now the consumption of lucifer-
matches might be estimated roughly at 40,0001. per
annum, so that the difference was self-evident. After
speaking of the promethean-match and its composition
of chlorate of potash and sugar, ignited by oil of vitriol,
the ordinary lucifer of the present dory came under con-
sideration, and it was stated that the chief ingredient
which permitted the match to bo sold at such a very low
rate was phosphorus. This remarkable substance was
discovered by Brandt, of Ilamburgh, in the year 1669,
but his process was too tedious and disagreeable. In the
year 1737, Scheele discovered that phosphorus was
contained in bones, and the lecturer reminded his
audience that phosphate of lime was the chief
mineret constituent of the human body, and could be
discovered in all the tissues, in all the fluids, the saliva.
the gastric juror, the blood, and the solidity of bone and
the hardness of tenth were due to its presence in large
quantities. In attempting to imiiate teeth the manufac-
turer gencraily u,cel a certain portPui of phosphate of
lime in what were termed " mtn-ral teeth," and some
very fine specimens were exhibited, made by Mr. Mug.
gridge, of Old Burilogton-strez t, London, which were
so hard and tough that they ct,uld be driven into a deal
bard without cracking. By heating burnt bores d
sand togettier the ordinary phosphorus was procured,
which shone is the dark. end (asap ignited with the
slightest friction, and it had been fauna that its vapour
was .xcetilugly poisonous, causing a terrible disease in
the workmen who made lucifer-matches, which destrol ed
the nose and ears, end made the bones so brittle ihnt
they were easily broken. This disease had been
arrested by the discovery of a new phosphorus by
SchiaLter, of Vienna, which, unlike the other, was
usually red, producing no light in the dark under 400
degrees, could he swallowed by itself, and was perfectly
harmless, whilst one-fourth of a grain of the other de-
stroyed life; it did not emit poisonous fumes, and was,
therefore, well adapted for lucifer-matches, rendering
them safer, and not so liable to take fire as the old kind.
Messrs. Sturge, of Birmingham, were now making the
new phosphorus, which could be packed in barrels, in-
stead of being kept under water. Mr. Pepper concluded
his admirable lecture by stating his obligations to them
for the specimens exhibited.
