MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrip-
ti,•n of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro n the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change 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 pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MARGATE RACES-MONDAY.

These races were commenced to-day over the same course
as last year, but under different management, and this was
apparent in the great change for the better. The weather
was beautifully fine, the company most numerous, the
fields of horses large, the sport good, and there was plenty
of speculation ; in fact, the gathering was a great success.
Below will be found full details of the running :
TheVisitors' Stakes of 3 sovs each, with 25 added ; weight
for age, with selling allowances. One mile.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Castle Hill, 2to 1 agst Confederalist,
3 to 1 agst others.

Mysterious Lady made play, followed by Confederalist to
the distance, where the latter took up the running, was
never afterwards caught, and won easily by two lengths ;
a length between second and third, and a head between
third and fourth; Fomentation was fifth; and Pathfinder
last. The winner was bought in for 55 guineas.
The Brimfield Cup, value 40 guineas ; weight for age,

Betting-2 to 1 agst Devotee, 4to 1 each agst Rapture
and Star Cross, 5 to I_agst castlaZll, 6 to 1 agst Proctor
and Bto 1 agst Bunch. Rapture cut out the work, fol-
lowed by Bunch and Devotee to the turn, where the leader
ran wide, and I'Anson brought Bunch to the front, and
carried on the running to the stand, where Rapture chal-
lenged, and after a desperate race the latter won by a
head, three lengths separating second and third ; Star
Cross was fourth, Proctor fifth, and Devotee sixth. Brown
Duchess, when the flag fell, bolted. The winner was
bought by Mr. Cook for 61 guineas.

FinalealEio ran.

Betting-5 to 4 agst Alberta, 6to 4 agst Indian Star, 3
to 1 agst any other. Some delay at the start was caused
by the fractiousness of Finale, who, when the flag fell,
jumped round. Indian Star made play for a short distance,
when he was passed by the Duchess of St. Alban's, who
led to the distance, where Mordan brought Alberta to the
fore, and never being again caught won by two lengths;
Indian Star a bad third.

sus. The flag fell to rather a straggling start, Pegasus
losing several lengths. Land of the West made play, fol-
lowed by Balornock, Little Gentleman, and Chicot the
Jester. The latter, on reaching the turn, ran out and took
no further part in the race. Land of the West held the
lead to the half distance, where he was passed by Little
Gentleman and Balornock, and after a fine race home with
the pair, Little Gentleman won by a neck; two lengths
separated the second and third; Betsy Copeland was fourth,

Prevention of Child Murder.

Yesterday evening a meeting of ladies and gentlemen in-
terested in this subject was held in the large hall of the
Gray's-inn Hotel, Holborn, for the purpose of considering
what steps could be adopted to arrest the progress of in-
fanticide now so fearfully prevalent throughout the
country.

The Rev. Dr. KISSEN, who was called to the chair, said
he had passed many years in Ceylon, where chid murder
prevailed, but on returning home ho found the state of
things much worse in England. Looking at the question
in its social aspects ho had become painfully impressed
with the necessity of taking immediate steps to arrest the
progress of the evil.

- Dr. W. 11. CLARKE, Recorder of Rangoon, said he had
spent nearly 25 years as a magistrate and judge, and had
seen a vast deal of crime of the nature they were about to
consider. When ho canto back to this country in April
last, his attention was directed to the cases of infanticide
which appeared in the paper; and he determined to devote
the remainder of his " leave" to a mitigation of the evil.
In Bengal, Ceylon, and Burmah, he had seen children
thrown to the pigs, and those pigs afterwards used for
human food, but things more intolerable even than that
had coma to his knowledge since he had been in London.
Since ho inserted an advertisement a week since on this
subject in the public papers he had received upwards of a
thousand letters from English ladies and gentlemen con-
taining many valuable suggestion; and convincing him that
the minds of large numbers had been painfully impressed
with the importance of the subject. His first impression
was that revolving boxes should bo established as in France
for the reception of infants, but after fully considering the
matter in all its bearings he had been compelled very re-
luctantly to abandon his faith in that scheme, inasmuch as
it would lead to an increase of immorality, and involve an
expense which no society would be able to maintain. What
he had in view mainly was the welfare of the children,
although he could not exclude from view the welfare of
the mothers, or the punishment of the wicked fathers. As
the law at present stood, they had a compulsory registra-
tion of births, and if a woman concealed the birth of a
child she was liable to severe punishment. He would sug-
that there should be a registration of pregnancy, and that
every woman should be bound to register herself three or
four months before the anticipated birth of her child. It
would be a bold step to take, but it would prove an effec-
tual means towards getting at the fathers of illegitimate
children, and rendering them liable for their support. In
the next place, he would alter the law of affiliation, for it
was a disgraceful thing that a man who had sinned in this
way should only be liable to the payment of half-a-crown
a week. Further, ho would suggest that there should be
in London a hospital to be open_ night and day for young
women whose peril was near upon them. He threw out
these hints for consideration, but he would willingly give
his cordial service towards the promotion of any scheme
andto

incumbent of St.
Mary's, Paddington, thought that it Ivould be unattvisable
to adopt any course that would run counter to the prejudices
of the public, and ho was of opinion that a proposition for
registering pregnancy would be a very startling thing in-
deed. At the same time he considered it to be very neces-
sary that some means should be adopted for pursuing the
fathers of illegitimate children, and compelling them to
bear their share of the expense. Mr. Charles Hole (head
master of the Brixton Collegiate School), Mr. Stamp, Mr.
Thomas, Mr. J. Irving Scott, and several other gentlemen
made suggestions, and it was agreed that it would not be
well at that time to pass any resolutions, but to wait to
ascertain more fully the views of the public on the matter,
so that it might be pressed upon the attention of the Go-
vernment. The meeting was accordingly adjourned until
Wednesday, the 4th of October,

The Harvest.

YORKSHIRE.

In the North and East Ridings of Yorkshire dur-
ing the past week great progress has been made
with harvest work, and provided the present fine
weather lasts, another week will see most of the
fields cleared. There has been very little grain
threshed yet, but the produce so far has gone to
strengthen the fear that the wheat crop will be not
only short in quantity but also in quality. The
late rains have vastly benefited turnip and grass
lands. The latter will soon be better than they
have yet been this year.
