Seth of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by the closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. EskelPs invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affeet 'teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed to last, a, life
time, as well as for mastication and articulation. 11r.

which might apply to any one of the accused might not ne-

His Lordship having summed up, the jury retired, and,
having been absent for about an hour, returned with a ver-
dict of guilty against all the prisoners. Hartley, Shepherd-
son, and Haigh were thereupon sentenced to be kept in
penal servitude four and Scotts for three years.
Henry Smith Evans was indicted for stealing and Thomas
Dryhuret for feloniously receiving a large quantity of silver,
the property of Joseph Bradbury and another, at Sheffield,
on the 19th of Octcber last.
Mr. Blackburn and Mr. Gully, holding the brief of Mr.
Campbell Foster, who was absent from illness, prosecuted

that he had got parcels of silver from Evansquestions, said

ceived something like £5 as a sort of commission for the
transactions. When When asked whether the person who for-
warded the silver was the same Evans who had

been in the same house as he then was, ho said t..veviously
further stated that he had sold the silver to some per, and

Birmingham. Thereupon he and Evans were both "tan:ea
into custody, and, inquiries having been made by the poig-ce'
l
both the prisoners were committed upon the prettent char ea.
The only point really contested throughout the case was,
whether the silver had been sufficiently identified ; and
The learned Judge told the jury that they must, of
course, before they convicted either of the prisoners, be
satisfied that the silver was Messrs. Bradbury'a property
and it they were eo, then the question, so far as Dryhurat
was concerned , still remained—did he know that it had
been stolen when he received it ? If so, he was guilty.
His lordship also took the opportunity of remarking that
he considered the plan pursued by the policeman of obtain-
ing a statement from Dryhurst was extremely objectionable,
and he also made some strong observations with reference
to the facilities apparently afforded, in this case, to the pd-
soners for getting rid of property evidently so valuable as
this, by purchasers being found almost immediately.
The jury found each prisoner Guilty, at the same time
adding their Lull concurrence in the last remark of his lord-
ship.
The prisoners, havingboth begged for mercy, were then
severally sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for six
years.

been
dragged into this correspondence entirely by the
exaggerated intensity you have chosen to attach to
the oaten-quoted phrase, " Mr. Bright's proposition
for a division among the poor of the lands of the
rich."
The very passage to which yeu refer me with
SO much confidence conveys, in my opinion, the
whole of this meaning. You seem to assume that I
cherged you with proposing that this division should
be accomplished by violence. But your own words
were there to prove to me that such was not your
meaning, and to confute me instantly if I had at-
tempted to attach that interpretation to it. There
are, however, as no one knows better than yourself,
other and more effective, because more enduring,
means than violence for the division of the land of
the rich among the poor. We see in France, for
example, the effect you described to your Rochdale
audience as so desirable in En t
g.and—the amorcel-
lenzent of the land.—produced by the law of succes-
sion which prevails there.
A similar measure proposed by yourself, or by Mr
Bright, and carried in a Parliament elected princi-
pally by the peasantry whom you desire to enfran-
chise, because they would then " have a better
chance of having property," would in two or three
generations not only check the accumulation of land
in few hands, but would break up all existing estates
great or small, and thus largely increase the number
of proprietors. In another generation, probably, the
peasant himself would " turn up the furrow on his
own freehold," and be no longer " divorced from
the land."
You suggest so obviously that it is by legislative
measures—rendered possible by giving political
Power to the peasantry—you propose to " amend
the unequal distribution of the land between the
rich and the poor," that no one would think of
charging you with endeavouring to effect this great
Change by violence.
But if you did not desire to produce by other
Weans than violence a " division among the poor of
the lands of the rich," allow me to ask, with all re-

NATIONAL CHORAL SOCIETY,

The Christmas performance of this society took
place on Wednesday evening in Exeter-hall, and
was very fully attended. Mr. Martin as the conduc-
tor proved himself an accomplished chef, and the
chorus went through their difficult duties very sa-
tisfactorily. The popular favothite, "Uato us a
child is born," was sung with so much spirit and
precision as to win an unanimous encore. The
wonderful Hallelujah was also given with Rood
effect. The long and trying chorus "All we like
sheep have gone astray," was very well gone
through until the close, where, at the sudden change
from the florid vocalisation of the prevailing theme
to the solemn strain accompanying the words " And
the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all,',
the singers flagged. "The Lord gave the word"
was finely given, and the general effect of the
choruses did honour to Mr. Martin. The solo
singers were Miss Spiller, Miss Palmer, Mr. Sims
R'.:eves, and Mr. Thomas. Miss Spiller has a good
clear voice, but is scarcely equal to the requisitions
of the soprano part of the " Messiah," being almost
devoid of expression. Some of her efforts were,
however, highly applauded. Miss Palmer was not
in the best voice, but gained an encore. Mr. Sims
Reeves fully maintained his reputation as a classical
singer, and created a perfect enthusiasm in the hall
by his rendering of " Thou shalt break them in
pieces." The unanimous encore which it elicited
from the audience he declined to comply with, in
accordance with his usual custom--a refusal which
was only acquiesced in from the fact of the " Halle-
lujah" following in quick succession. Mr. Thomas
has a good bass voice, although not equal to Mr.
Santley, whose assistance is promised for the next
oratorio. He went through his part creditably,:and
acquitted himself especially well in the famous air
'The Trumpet shall sound," which was accom-
panied as usual by Mr. Harper. Altogether the
performance went off remarkably well, and the
lovers of Handers music may congratulate them-
selves on obtaining such efficient exponents of it in
the members of this society.

me.

Tne following is the passsge referred to :
It has been a fashion of late to talk of an extension of the
franchise as something not to be tolerated, because it is as-
sumed that the mass of the people are not fitted to take a
part in Government, and they point to America or France,
and other places, and draw comparisons between this coun-
try and others countries. Now, I hope I shall not be consi-
dered revolutionary, beCause at my age I don't want any
revolutions. They won't serve me, lam sure, or anybody
that belongs to me. England may compare very favourably
with most other countries, if you draw the line in society
tolerably high, and if you compare the condition of the rich
and the upper classes of this country, or a considerable por-
tion of the middle classes, with the same classes abroad. I
don't think a rich man, barring the climate, which is not
very good, could be very much happier anywhere else than
in England; but when my opponents treat this question of
the franchise as one that is likely to wing the masses of the
people down from their present state to the level of other
countries, I say I have travelled in most civilised countries
and that the masses of the people of this country do not
compare so favourably with the masses of other countries
as I could wish. T find in other countries a greater number
of people with property than there are in England. I don't
know a Protestant country in the world where the masses
of the people are so illiterate as in England. Those are not
had tests of the condition of a people. It is no use your,
talking of yoor army and navy, your e.-:ports and your im-
ports—it is no use telling me you have a small portion of
your people exceedingly well off. I want to bring the test
to
a comparison of the majority of the people with a ma.
j peasantry
of the people in other countries. Now, I say with
regard to some things in foreign countries we don't com-
pare favcurably, The condition of the English
bats-no parallel on the taco of the earth. (Hear.) You
have no other peasantry but that of England which is en-
tirely divorced from the land. There is no other country
in the world where you will not find men holding the
plough and turning up the furrow upon their own freehold.
I don't want any agrarian outrages by which we should
change all this; but this I fiad, and it is quite consistent
with human nature, that wherever I go the condition of
the people is generally pretty good, in comparison with the
power they have to take care of themselves; and if you
have a class entirely divorced from political power, while in
another country they possess it, they will be trea'ed there
with more consideration, they will have greater advantages,
they will be better educatei, and have a better chance of

THAMES.

STEALING SHIP'S STORES.—John Thomas, described as
a ship's steward, hbout 33 years of age, was brought before
Mr. Partedge charged with stealing 10 lbs. of salt pork.
Thomas Holligan, a watchman in the service of the East
and West India Dock Company, stated that at half-past 5
yesterday afternoon the prisoner camo to the river entrance
of the East India Dock with a bundle under his arm, and,
as he was about to pass out, he asked him what it contained,
to which the prisoner replied, " Old lumber," He opened
the bundle, and found it to contain salt pork. He searched
the prisoner's pockets, in which he discovered six ship's
biscuits. The prisoner said the pork was old and con-
demned stores lying about the deck of the ship Washington
Irving, on which he had been eriaployed. The pork was
good and new, and had only been on board the Washington
Irving three or four days.
Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned
and kept to hard labour for one calendar month.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, afterwards made an earnest
appeal to the magistrate to substitute a pecuniary fine for
the imprisonment, and said the prisoner came from Ports-
mouth, and had only been in the Port of London a few
days. The prisoner had been in various situations in the
royal navy and the merchant service, and had given much
satisfaction to his superiors. The prisoner had al-
ways maintained a good character for honesty and so-
briety. This was the prisoner's first offence, and if he
was sent to prison he would be prevented going to sea, and
his family would suffer. Mr. Young then handed to the
magistrate a large number of testimonials of good character
and certificates of service and discharge, describing the
prisoner's character for ability and good conduct to be very
good.

Mr. Partridge said that under the circumstances he
thought he should be justified in rescinding his first sen-
tence, and should' order the prisoner to pay a fine of £3.
The penalty was instantly paid, and the prisoner was
liberated.

PITGILISM.

JOE GOSS, OF WOLVERHAMPTON, AND ISAAC BAKER,
OF WALSALL, FOR .£lOO A-SlDE.—Pursuant to the arrange-
ment made by the referee, these men met for the second
time yesterday, when the contest was brought to an issue
without let or hindrance. The belligerents were net re-
stricted to weight, but Goss, who was the heavier, pulled
down full n stone; but then, as will be imagined by those
who know the man, he was in no sort of condition, while
Baker, ou the contrary, was fit to fight for a man's life.
no betting was 2 to 1 on Goss, and all being in readi-
ness, the combatants stepped within the ropes. The toss
for corners was won by Joe; the men were conducted to
the scratch, and at 20 minutes past 8 o'clock were left to
commence hostilities. The first two or three rounds were
of rather long duration, but after the first plunge had been
made the belligerents fought faster, although there was no
remarkable science displayed. On the whole, it may be
irl, Goss fought so badly that he greatly astonished his
friends, and there can be no doubt that this falling off was
attributable to the fact that he had not got himself into
Proper fettle. The first of the leading points was gained
by Goss with the loft, while the second was obtained by
Baker in the 18th bout. There were in the whole 27 rounds
fought in one hour and 20 minutes, when. Goss, who had
made good use of it, delivered the right heavily on the
head. Baker, being unable to renew the contest, had to
succumb. It must be stated that the friends of Baker are
quite satisfied with the gameness of their man en this
occasion, and think that, up to the sudden termination of
the contest in the last round, he had far from a bad chance
of winning.

NATIONAL CHORAL SOCIETY,

The Christmas performance of this society took
place on Wednesday evening in Exeter-hall, and
was very fully attended. Mr. Martin as the conduc
tor proved himself an accomplished chef, and the
chorus went through their difficult duties very sa-
tisfactorily. The popular favourite, "Unto us a
child is born," was sung with so much spirit and
precision as to win an unanimous encore. The
wonderful Hallelujah was also given with good
effect. The long and trying chorus " All we like
sheep have gone astray," was very well gone
through until the close, where, at the sudden change
from the florid vocalisation of the prevailing theme
to the solemn strain accompanying the words " And
the Lord bath laid on him the iniquity of us all,',
the singers flagged. "The Lord gave the word"
was finely given, and the general effect of the
choruses did honour to Mr. Martin. The solo
singers were Miss Spiller, Miss Palmer, Mr. Sims
Reeves, and Mr. Tomas. Miss Spiller has a good
clear voice, but is scarcely equal to the requisitions
of the soprano part of the " Messiah," being almost
devoid of expression. Some of her efforts were.
however, highly applauded. Miss Palmer was not
in the best voice, but gained an encore. Mr. Sims
Reeves fully maintained his reputation as a classical
singer, and created a perfect enthusiasm in the hall
by his rendering of " Thou shalt break them in
pieces." The unanimous encore which it elicited
from the audience he declined to comply with, in
accordance with his usual custom--a refusal which
was only acquiesced in from the fact of the " Halle-
lujah''
a goodfollowing
bass
has voice, although not equal to Mr.
Santley, whose assistance is promised for the next
oratorio. He went through his part creditably,:and
acquitted himself especially well in the famous air
1: The Trumpet shall sound," which was accom-
panied as usual by Mr. Harper. Altogether the
performance went off remarkably well, and the
lovers of Handel's music may congratulate them-
selves on obtaining such efficient exponents of it in
the members of this society.
