TEETH.-Mr. ESKI4:LL'S INVENTION i
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has thei
following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted it the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, wwith hout
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-

REPLY OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA.

Monsieur mon frere,—Your Majesty in writing to me
the letter which your Ambassador presented to me on the
13th of November, must have been convinced that the
generous sentiments which inspired you would be responded
to with that cordial assent which a Sovereign having at
heart the welfare of nations, could not decline joining in
the noble object which your Majesty proposes to the Euro-
pean Powers by inviting them to a general Congress.
During the course of the last half century the treaties of
1815 have necessarily undergone modifications which the
irresistible influence of time and events exercises upon
human institutions. Nevertheless, those treaties still con-
tinue to form the foundation upon which the political
edifice of Europe actually rests. It will, therefore, be a
task worthy of the efforts of all Governments in-
terested in the maintenance of order and of peace
to consolidate that foundation, to provide for those portions
which have been destroyed or which will have to be
abolished, and to give additional guarantees to such
enactments as may be misunderstood or menaced. In
such a work I will join with all ray heart, and in per-
fect liberty only to consult my own solicitude for the
general interests of Europe, because, as Prussia has never
outetepped the limits of treaties, she has no direct interest
in provoking or declining the meeting of a Congress. Such
a position enables my Government to lend its impartial
and disinterested support to establish between the Powers
convoked a preliminary understanding, upon the principles
of the Congress, and to obviate by prudent negotiations the
difficulties which might cause germs of discord in a work of
conciliation and of peace. To this effect my Government
will be happy to receive any overtures your Majesty may
think fit to make respecting preliminary views.
I thank your Majesty for the hospitality which you
have kindly offered me, and I am sure I should meet with a
welcome at Paris which renders so dear to me the remem-
brance of my sojourn at Compiegne ; but it is rather for
our Ministers united in Council to enlighten by their dis-
cussions and to prepare for the sanction of the Sovereigns
the proposals which will be submitted to the Congress.
I take advantage of this opportunity to renew the as-ur-
ances of the high esteem and special friendship with which
I remain, Monsieur mon frere, of your Majesty,
Le bon frre,
WILLIAM.

Extraordinary Bigamy Case at Sunderland.

At Sunderland, on Wednesday, John Grieve,
lately assistant civil engineer to .the River Wear
Commissioners, was charged with bigamy. The
history of the man is somewhat peculiar. In Sep-
tember, 185 G, he was married to Matilda Bleach, at
Bishopton Church, describing himself as a professor
of mathematics, named John Dixon Grieves, and
the son of a barrister. He was in fact at this time
engaged at the Tyne Docks. After living with his
wife a month he left her, and wes Lot heard
of till May, 1862, when he wrote from the
Glasgow Gaol, asking for a few postage
stamps and some letters to comfort him. He soon
afterwards obtained his appointment under the
Near Commissioners. While employed thus in
Sunderland, he called at the shop of a Miss Waldie,
and introduced himself by saying he knew the late
Mr. Waldie, banker of Kelso, and asked if she was
any relation. A few days afterwards, Miss Waldie
received a letter proposing marriage, in which the
defendant said he had never met with any one he
could love but her. After a few inquiries she„c,•n-
seated, and they were married on October 23.
Three days afterwards, he left for Liverpool to ob-
tain a situation, and wrote several times asking for
money, which was always sent to him, till the
unfortunate lady discovered that he had been
previously married. He was apprehended in Ire-
land, and on Dec. 3 his second wife received the
following letter from him, dated from the Sunder- '
land prison :—" Through the great goodness of Mr.
Stainaby I am permitted to drop you a few lines.
How streage and mysterious are the ways of Pro-
' videnoe. Little did I know the last Sabbath that
I spent with you that you would be the means of
sending mo here. I look to the future with trem-
bling despair. Good heavens! what a situation lam
in. The sight of a green field and the great silent sky
above it-01 why should it be denied mortal man ?
But there is a day coming in the history of man-
kind—that grand universal inquest when the
secrets of all hearts shall be laid open, it will be
known then how I was so treacherously betrayed
by the Blenches, they drugged my drink and made
me quite stupid. They had the licence and the ring
prepared. I have no more recollection of that fatal
day than I have of the deluge that destroyed the
earth. The clergyman when he saw that I was
stupid with drink, said he had committed a most
illegal act in reading the service. The Blenches
knew this right well, and they have no claim
upon me. I am truly sorry for you ; but
you must remember that you are and will
be my wife in the sight of heaven. I
married you with my will but never any other. I
am heavy-hearted, lonesome, and sad. I do not
know what to do a long dreary winter in prison.
New Year's Day was the day appointed to com-
mence my situation in Liverpool. Oh, what a
change ! lam very hungry ! For the days that
are departed will you not condescend to send me a
small piece of something to eat?" A number of
witnesses were called to prove that the statement of
his being intoxicated at the wedding was entirely
untrue, and he was committed for trial.

REPLY OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA.

Monsieur mon Fthe,—The letter written to me by your
Majesty on the 4ih of November directs my attention to the
precarious state of Europe, to the dangers which may result
therefrom, and proposes to me to regulate the present and
assure the future in a Congress.
This step is suggested to your Majesty by the sincere de-
sire of sparing the world the calamities entailed by war.
To preserve and assure to Europe the benefits of peace, at
the same time preserving from any attack the honour and
dignity of the countries we govern, such should indeed be
one of our most constant cares. Such is also my dearest
wish, and to attain this end, my co-operation will always be
secured to your Majesty.
Guided by this sentiment I have conscientiously examined
the proposition which has been made to me. I was bound to
ask myself if, in its present form, your Majesty's project
united all the conditions which would permit me to hope
for a result in conformity with your desire and mine.
The success of every enterprise depends in a great mea-
sure upon the manner in which it is undertaken, and the
plan which has been marked out. The greater the difficulty
of the enterprise, and the more it demands the co-operation
of various farces and wills, the more urgent it becomes to
have a clear understanding upon the point of departure, to
define the object and means of action held in view, to deter-
mine beforehand, in fact, the line of conduct that will be
followed. These conditions appear to me to essentially affect
the success of the work that your Majesty desires to essay
and to which you invite me.
Before joining it I, therefore, deem it indispensable to be
enlightened upon certain preliminary points. In a word, I
should wish to know, with some accuracy, the bases and
programme of the deliberations of the Congress which would
assemble.

In specifying beforehand the questions to be examined by
the Congress, and agreeing upon the direction to be given
to its labours, unforeseen obstacles that might compromise
eve] ything would be avoided ; this course would also remove
dangerous and almost insoluable problems, which, unex-
pectedly raised, would only envenom the debates and give
rise to fresh complications, instead of obviating those which
already exist.

These considerations appears to me too important not to
deserve all the attention of your Majesty. Prince Metter-
nich will be charged, on his side, to state then with greater
development. The particular goodwill and confidence which
your Majesty has always been good enough to manifest
towards my Ambassador still facilitate, I trust, this preli-
minary understanding which it appears to me necessary to
establish before offering my support to the plan conceived
by your Majesty.
_

I take this opportunity of renewing the assurances of the
high esteem and inviolable friendship with which I am,

of all those whose aspirations tend to the welfare of
humanity.
Your Majesty has just taken the initiative by proposing
to regulate the present and assure the future in a Congress.
I do homage to the elevated thought which has guided
your Imperial Majesty, and I thank you very sincerely for
the invitation you have forwarded to me to co-operate in
your generous projects.
1 hope that Germany, especially Austria and Prussia—
who in this question has interests from which I cannot sepa-
rate those of the kingdom of Hanover—will be enabled to
afford her support to the task your Imperial Majesty has
imposed upon yourself, and in this case I shall do myself a

Sudden Death of Mr. Justice Wightman,

We deeply regret to announce the sudden death
of Mr, Justice Wightwan. The learned judge was
at York, trying prisoners at the Yorkshire winter
gaol delivery, and on Wednesday was in his usual
good health, and tried a long and important Post
Office robbery ease. The Court rose about six
o'clock, when his lordship manifested no signs of
fatigue, although his labours during the day had
been of an arduous character. His lordship retired
to rest at his usual hour, and was then quite well,
but on Thursday morning, at seven o'clock, when
his valet entered his room he was alarmed to find
his lordship breathing very heavily, and to all ap-
pearance in a fit of apoplexy. Miss Wig htman, who
accompanied her father whilst on circuit, was in-
stantly aroused, and Mr. Husband, surgeon, and
Dr. Shan❑ were sent for. These gentlemen were at
his lordship's bedside in a few minutes, but their
services were of little avail, for it was evident that
the hand of death was upon the learned judge. He
remained totally unconscious, and lingered in this
state of unconsciousness until a quarter-past one
o'clock, when his lordship expired.

Mr. Justice IVightman had been a judge of the
Queen's Bench for 22 years, and was utiiversally
esteemed by the bar for his amiability of disposition,
and also for his high legal attainments. His lord-
ship's death has put a stop for the present to the
business of tf.e Yorkshire winter gaol delivery. Mr.
W. B. Maule, of the northern circuit, whose name
was on the commission at the winter gaol delivery,
entered the court in the morning, and announced
that it would be impossible to go on with business
that duy, stating that he should return to court in
the afternoon and receive the bilis for the grand
jury.
Mr. Justice Mellor left town this morning for
York.

REPLY OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA.

Monsieur mon Frare,--The letter written to me by your
Majesty on the 4th of November directs my attention to the
precarious state of Europe, to the dangers which may result
therefrom, and proposes to me to regulate the present and
asbure the future in a Congress.

This step is suggested to your Majesty by the sincere de-
sire of sparing the world the calamities entailed by war.
To preserve and assure to Europe the benefits of peace, at
the same time preserving from any attack the honour and
dignity of the countries we govern, such should indeed be
one of our most constant cares. Such is also my dearest
wish, and to attain this end, my co-operation will always be
secured to your Majesty. _ _

Guided by this sentiment I have conscientiously examined
the proposition which has been made to me. I was bound to
ask myself if, in its present form, your Majesty's project
united all the conditions which would permit me to hope
for a result in conformity with your desire and mine.
The success of every enterprise depends in a great mea-
sure upon the manner in which it is undertaken, and the
plan which has been marked out. The greater the difficulty
of the enterprise, and the more it demands the co-operation
of various forces and wills, the more urgent it becomes to
have a clear understanding upon the point of departure, to
define the object and means of action held in view, to deter-
mine beforehand, in fact, the line of conduct that will be
followed. These conditions appear to me to essentially affect
the success of the work that your Majesty desires to essay
and to which you invite me.
Before joining it I, therefore, deem it indispensable to be
enlightened upon certain preliminary points. In a word, I
should wish to know, with some accuracy, the bases and
programir.e of the deliberations of the Congress which would
assemble. _ _

In specifying beforehand the questions to be examined by
the Congress, and agreeing upon the direction to be given
to its labours, unforeseen obstacles that might compromise
eves ything would be avoided ; this course would also remove
dangerous and almost insoluable problems, which, unex-
pectedly raised, would only envenom the debates and give
rise to fresh complications, instead of obviating those which
already exist.

These considerations appears to me too important not to
deserve all the attention of your Majesty. Prince Metter-
nich will be charged, on his side, to state then with greater
development. The particular goodwill and confidence which
your Majesty has always been good enough to manifest
towards my Ambassador Bill facilitate, I trust, this preli-
minary understanding which it appears to me necessary to
establish before offering my support to the plan conceived
by your Majesty.
I take this opportunity of renewing the assurances of the
high esteem and inviolable friendship with which I am,
Monsieur mon frere, your Majesty's good brother,
Vienna, Nov. 17. FRANCIS JOSEPH.

REPLY OF THE RING OF HANOVER.

Monsier mon Frers,—l have received with as much
pleasure as gratitude the letter which your Imperial Ma-
jesty was good enough to address to me under date the 4th
of this month.
To regulate existing differences by a general understand-
ing between the European Powers, to calm the unceasingly
recurring disquiet which obstructs or retards the develop-
ment of the prosperity of States, to paralyse the efforts of
subvervise parties, and,
in fine, to assure the tranquillity of
Europe by removing every eventuality of war, is the most
signal service that can be rendered to the cause of eivilisa-
tivn ; it is an enterprise whial should obtain t4o sal ago.,

WESTMINSTER.

A TECHNICAL ADVANTAGE.—Catherine Harrington, a
dirty, diminutive woman, was brought before the magis-
trate charged with being drunk, and begging in Onslow-
square,

Police-constable William Kemp, 238 B, stated that yes-
terday afternoon he was attracted by an outcry from
Onslow-square, and on going there found the prisoner fol-
lowing a lady who was going to church. Prisoner, as she
walked after the lady, was swearing at her.
Mr. Arnold—Did you hear what for ? What did she
say?

Constable—She was swearing at her for refusing to give
her a penny to buy bread. The prisoner was drunk, and I
immediately took her from the lady. On her way to the
station-house the prisoner said that she had come from
Hammersmith that morning, and had got no home. At
the time she was following and swearing at the lady the
prisoner was accompanied by another woman with a child
without shoes or stockings, but she went away directly I
came up.

Mr. Arnold—Did you Bee the accused bog of any one
else ?

Witness—l did not, but I was, after she was in custody,
informed that she had been annoying a gentleman at his
house in Onslow square, and had crsated a disturbance

there.

Mr. Arnold—What was bGr conduct in going to the
station P

Witness—She made a great disturbance as she went
through the street. She was altogether very noisy and
troublesome.

Mr. Arnold (to prisoner)—What have you say to the
charges ?
Prisoner—l have got nothin-
Mr. Arnold—Y,- to say.
scaPd-' conduct is very bad ; it is a very
case, and bad the charge of begging been dis-
tinctly made out I would have given you the severest pun-
ishment, but as it is not, I commit you for seven days for
being drunk and riotous.
