QOUND and WHITE TEETH are not only
k_7 indispensably requiFite to a pleasing exterior in both sexes,
but they are peculiarly appreciated through life as a blessing highly
conducive to the purposes of health and longevity. Among the vari-
ous preparations offered for the purpose, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or
Pearl Dentifrice, stands unrivalled in its capability of embellishing,
purifying, and preserving the teeth to the latest period of life. Pre-
pared from Oriental herbs, with unusual care, transmitted to this
country at great expense, this unique compound will be found to
eradicate all tartar and concretions, impart a pearl-like whiteness to
the enamelled surface, remove spots of incipient decay, render the
gums firm and red, fix the teeth firmly in their sockets, and, from its
aromatic influence, impart sweetness and purity to the breath. It is
important to observe, that when used early in life, it effectually pre-
vents all aches in the teeth and gums, effaces spots and discoloura-
Lion, eradicates scurvy, and, in a word, soon realises the chief attri-

bute of health and beauty—a Fine Set of Pearly Teeth.—Price 2s.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRH(EA,
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICRFORD
"Dr. Plckford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cAl contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
sower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We oromised in a former number that we should recur to this
w)f.i, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of Quiet Symathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends, are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many h mdreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
leas importance, though it that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhma, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW A RAILWAY
TRAlL—During Thursday night a diabolical attempt
was made to overthrow -a
train on the Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, near to Deepcar.
At half-past one o'clock on Friday morning a goods
train left the Sheffield station for Manchester, and
about 200 yards westward of the Deepcar station, the
engine-driver of the train saw that a sleeper was lying
across the up hne. Ile immediately stopped his train
and removed the sleeper. Considerable pains had been
taken by the evildoers to secure the sleeper from being
thrown off the line by the engine-wheel guards. No
trains but those westward ran on that line, and there-
fore the sleeper had been secured on the eastern side by
being backed up with another sleeper, the lower end of
which was firmly fixed against one of the sleepers to which
the rails are fastened. The engine-driver had scarcely
got his train again in motion when he saw the Man-
chester goods train approaching. He signalled the
driver to stop, and told him what had been done. The
driver of the Manchester train, therefore, ran his train
very slowly, and arrived at Sheffield without any mischief.
Most fortunately, the Manchester train was an hour
beyond its time, or a fearful accident would have been
inevitable. Active measures are being taken for the
apprehension of the offender,--Sheffield Timm

TURKEY AND RUSSIA.

The following is the protest issued by the Porte against
the occupation of the Principalities by Russia ;
" The Sublime Porte has just been officially informed that
the Russian army has crossed the Pruth, and that it has
entered Moldavia, with the intention of also occupying,
Wallachia. This movement, effected without its co-opera-
tion, upon an integral part of its empire, has occasioned it
as much sorrow as surprise. It is painful for it to behold
the inhabitants of those loyal and peaceful provinces ex-
posed to all the chances of a military occupation.
_lt is
difficult for it to reconcile such an act of aggression with
the pacific.declarations and amicable assurances so often
reiterated by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. It is still
more difficult for it not to be astonished at an operation
which is an infringement of the principles established in
the treaty of 1841.
"The Sublime Porte, in expressing the sentiments
which this event has caused it, cannot dispense with set-
ting in their true light some circumstances to which the
ministers of his Imperial Majesty have in vain endeavoured
to give a conclusion such as their love of justice and tran-
quillity made them desire.
" The negotiations which were opened in concert with

Prince Mentschikoff were restricted at first to the points
which offered difficulties relative to the question of the
Holy Places, and the differences which were the principal
objects thereof speedily received a solution of a nature to
satisfy all parties interested.
"We have consented, moreover, to the construction of
a church and hospital at Jerusalem for the especial use of
the Russians, so that the concessions demanded in favour
of the priests and pilgrims of the same nation have not
been refused to either.
"After the happy conclusion of the part of the negocia-
tions which related to the sole ostensible object of the
extraordinary mission of Prince Mentschikoff, that ambas-
sador hastened to press another demand, which, if it had
been admitted by the Government of his Majesty the Sul-
tan, could not have failed being a grave attack on the in-
terests of the empire, and of compromising the sovereign
rights which are its ornaments and its supports.
" It has been seen by the official communications which
the Sublime Porte has at various times made to the Great
Powers, that it does not hesitate to give sufficient assur-
ances capable of dissipating the doubts which led to the
discussions relative to the rights, spiritual privileges, and
other immunities attached thereto, and which the Greek
churches and Greek priests possess, on the part of his
Majesty the Sultan. Far from wishing to withdraw any
portion of those privileges, or even of restricting the en-
joyment consecrated by their utility, his Imperial Majesty
makes a glory to confirm them publicly, and, faithful to
the maxims of justice and mercy, of placing them safe from
all prejudice, by the means of a solemn act bearing his
hatti-cherif, and which was made known to all friendly
Governments. Such being the case, it would be an act of
supererogation to encumber this question with a heap of de-
tails. It suffices here to demonstrate that, on the one hand,
the demand of the Russian ambassador, notwithstanding
certain modifications, either in the terms or in the form,
remained inadmissible in consequence of what has just been
explained ; whilst, on the other hand, it had no real ob-
ject, in consequence of the solemn guarantees given spon-
taneously by the Sovereign himself, in face of the whole
world. These incontestable facts suffice to relieve the Su-
blime Porte from all obligation to excuse itself further on
the subject of the religious privileges. It is incontestably
evident that the independence of a sovereign state is null,
if among its attributes it does not possess that of refusing
without offence a demand unauthorised by treaties, and
the acceptance of which would at the same time be super-
fluous as regards its ostensible object, and no less humi-
liating than hurtful to the high party declining it.
" Nevertheless, the Sublime Porte in no way desists
from its amicable and profoundly sincere desire not only to
fulfil all its engagements towards Russia with the most
scrupulous exactitude, but, moreover, to give it any new
proof of its cordial dispositions compatible with the sacred
rights of its sovereignty, and with the honour and funda-
mental interests of its empire.
"It is always ready to reiterate the assurances promised
in the letter dated 4th (16th) June, written in reply to
that of his Excellency Count Nesselrode, bearing date the
19th of May ; and it is still disposed, if an arrangement of
a nature to satisfy Russia can be arrived at without pre-
judice to the sacred rights of the Sultan, to send an ambas-
sador extraordinary to St. Petersburgh, to seek-, in concert
with the Russian Cabinet, the means of arriving at that
end.

"As regards the passage in tho letter of his Excellency
Count Nesselrode relative to the eventual invasion of the
Ottoman territory, the Sublime Porte has already declared
that it cannot accept it; and as that letter, as well as the
reply of the Ottoman ministry, was at once communicated
to t'he powers that signed the treaty of 1841, it evidently
becomes needless to enter into details on so painful a
question.

" In consequence of these circumstances, and in virtue
of these considerations, the government of his Majesty had
reason to hope that the founded motives which he never
ceased to allege to justify the refusal of his consent, the
impossibility in which he finds himself of according it, and
the sincere desire which at different times he has expressed
to see a renewal of the cordial relations between the two
high parties, would be finally, appreciated, and that the
Court of Russia would return to more equitable sentiments
towards it, the Sublime Porte feels the more sorrow in
finding itself deceived in this hope, r. s the eminent qualities
of the Emperor of Russia, his known justice and modera-
tion, did not allow it to suppose that his Majesty would be
capable of wishing to ground his demands upon other
bases than those of reason and common right, as he bad
but recently given, both to the Sultan himself and to the
European Powers, positive assurances of his desire to re-
spect the dignity and maintain the independence of the
Ottoman empire.
"And it is in this state of things that the Sublime Porte
has just received the official notice that the Russian troops
have crossed the frontier.

" If the Court of Russia persists in founding the demand
to consecrate, by a document obligatory towards it, the
religious privileges of which it is a question on the treaty
of Kainardje, it must be observed that the promise con-
tained in the first part of Art. 7 of that treaty, relative to
the protection of the Christian religion and its churches,
is a generality ; and that degree of importance attributed
to it by. Russia can scarcely be found in it, still less a spe-
ciality in favour of the Greek religion.
" However this may be, if the Sublime Porte omitted
to protect the Christian religion and churches, it is then
only that it would be time to remind it of its promise by
quoting that treaty ; and it is no less clear that this new
proposition cannot be founded by that treaty, inasmuch
as the privileges and immunities of the Greek religion
have been granted (octroye) by the Sublime Porte, with-
out the demand or intervention of any one whomsoever.
It is, in fact, a point of honour for it to maintain them
at present and in the future, and a duty imposed upon
it by its system, full of solicitude for its subjects. The
firmans which have recently been promulgated, and which
confirm the privileges and the immunities of all religions,
publicly testify to the firm intentions of the Sublime
Porte in this respect, in such manner that without the
slightest doubt a foreign intervention is not at all required
for the purpose. Only, whereas the Court of Russia, what-
ever may be the motive, has conceived suspicions with re-
gard to those religious privileges, and as the Greek religion
is that of the august Emperor, and a great portion of his
subjects, the Sublime Porte, moved by these considera-
tions, and also from deference to the amicable relations
which still exist between the two Powers, does not retire
before the resolution, of giving sufficient assurances to his
subjects. But, if a government contracts, on the rights and
privileges which from its own movement it has accorded to
the churches and priests of a nation of so many millions of
souls submitted to its authority, exclusive obligations with
another government, it would be to share its authority
with that government ; it would be nothing less than the
annihilation of its own independence.
"The treaties concluded between the Sublime Porte and
the Court of Russia, concerning the two principalities, do
not authorise in any manner the sending of troops by Russia
into these two countries ; and the article relating thereto,
which is in the Sened of Balta-Liman, is subordinate to
the case of the breaking out of internal disturbances ;
which is by no means the case in the present instance.
" The fact is, that this aggressive proceeding on the
part of Russia cannot in principle be considered in any
other light than a declaration of war, giving to the Sub-
lime Porte the incontestable right of employing military
force in return. But the Sublime Porte is far from wish

ing to push its rights to the extreme. Strong in the justice
which regulates its policy towards the Powers, it prefers
reserving them, in the expectation of a spontaneous return
of Russia to a line of action more conformable to its decla-
rations. It is with a view to remove every obstacle to that
return that it restricts itself at present against the aggres-
sion of which it has such just right to complain. It thinks
thereby to offer to the whole world an additional proof of
the moderation of the system it has adopted since the
commencement of this affair. It abstains from any hos-
tile act, but it declares that it in no manner consents to the
entrance, from time to time, of troops into the provinces
of Moldavia, and Wallachia, which are integral parts of
the Ottoman empire, regarding them as a house without a
master.

"It protests, therefore, formally and openly, against
that act; and, in the conviction that the Powers that
signed the treaty of 1841 would not give their consent to
such an aggression, it has given them an explanation of the
circumstances, and meantime maintains an armed attitude

for its defence.
" In conclusion, it repeats that his Majesty the Sultan
is always desirous of meeting any founded reclamation of
the Court of Russia, of which he has already.given proof
more than once, and is ready to redress any grievance con-
cerning the religious affairs of which his Greek subjects
might have cause to complain ' • that that reparation has
been made as regards the Holy Places ; that that question
has been solved to the satisfaction of Russia ; and that the
Sublime Porte does not hesitate to offer more explicit as-
surances to confirm the arrangement which has been made

k) the satisfaction of all parties.
