TEETH.—By her Majesty's Royal Letters
Patent.—Newly-invented and Patented Application of Che-
mically-prepared White India-rubber in the constmtion of Artificial
Teeth, Gums, and Palates.—Mr. EPHRAIM MOSELY, Surgeon-
Dentist, 61, Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square, Sole Inventor and
,Patentee.—A new, original, and invaluable invention, cm sisting in
the adaptation, with the most absolute perfection and success, of
CUE AIWA LLY-PR&I'ARLD WHITE INDIA- RU 81377. as a lining
to the ordinary gold or bone frame. The extbsordinuty reetdirof
this application may be briefly noted in a few of their most promi-
nent features, as the following :—All sharp edges are avoided; no
springs. wires, or fastenings are required ; a greater increased free-
dom of suction is supplied; a natural elasticity hitherto wholly un-
attainable; and a fit, perfected with the most unerring accuracy, are
secured, while from the softness and flexibility of the agent em-
ployed, the greatest support is given to the adjoining teeth when
loose, or rendered tender by the absorption of the gums. The acids
of the mouth exert so agency on the chemically-prepared White
India-rubber, and as it is a non-conductor, fluids of any temperature
may with thorough comfort be ,imbibed and retained in the mouth,
all unpleasantness of smell or taste being at the same time wholly
provided against by the peculiar nature of its preparation.
To be obtained only at 61, Grosvenor-street, Louden ;

ward with supernumeraries for the ships fitting there.

undocked this morning, after repairs, and the York, old

copper, before being made a butt for the Excellent. -
A serious accident occurred -this afternoon in this
dockyard, on board the Conflict screw steam-sloop, to a
seaman belonging to the Blenheim, named Charles Hider-
son, whose leg was broken by one of the gun-carriages
falling on him. He was immediately conveyed to

The. Duke of Wellington 131 (screw), Capt. H. B.
Martin, C.B.—This noble ship hauled out of dock this
afternoon, at 5 p.m., into the steam-basin. It was
somewhat feared they would not get sufficient water to
float her off the blocks ; but everything was well man-
aged, and notwithstanding the enormous weight of her
masts, spars, and rigging, with her iron tanks, cables,
and anchors, and sundry other stores, she only drew 4
inches more than when she was docked, her water-line
being now 20 feet 8 inches. She will stow 14 weeks'
provisions and about 270 tons of water. She will now
take on board her lower, fore, and main yards.

noon with part of the passengers and seamen of the emi-
grant ship Duncan Ritchie, of Glasgow, Captain M'Kin-
non. This ship left Leith for Port Philip on the 19th
of Atisreh, and has been leaking more or less ever since.
On Good Friday, at 1 a.m., in lat. 49 23 N., long. 5-23-
W., heavy weather from the south-east, the leak in-
creased and 'could not be kept under, the pumps being

board the captain's wife, all her passengers, and 13 of
the crew. The next morning, Saturday, the weather
abated, the leak decreased, and Captain M‘Kinnon dis-
patched his longboat, in charge of the mate, for the pas-
sengers and crew, stating his intention to bear up for the
first pert. About 20 of the passengers returned, but the
crew refused. After receiving stores from the ship, the
galliot made sail. The Duncan Ritchie was at that time
observed loosening her foretopsail, and the pumps still
at work, her crew comprising only the master, chief offi-
cer, second mate, two carpenters, boatswain, one able
seaman, the cook, and steward.
The passengers landed here are Mr. Cameron, wife,
and three children ; Mr. Smith, mother, and sister ;

WOOLWICH, MARCH 28.

The Royal Albert, 131, screw steam-ship, is progressing
rapidly towards being ready for launching, upwards of
200 men and boys being constantly employed upon her
on task and jobwork, and they are so anxious to make
full time that many of them do not go home to dinner.

length of the alterations, and the workmen are making
ready the piles on which will be placed the ways over
which she is to pass when launched.
