SOUND and WHITE TEETH aro not only
indispensably renuisitc to a pleasing exterior in both sexes,
but they aro 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 alltartar 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-
tion, eradicates scurvy, and, in a word, soon realises the chief attri-
bute of health and beauty—a Fine Sett of Pearly Teeth. Price 25.

In relation to the Treattnetat and Cure of Sufferers from Debility Of the

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD
"Dr. Tickford Is known to English reader; by his frequent pt./refi-

Cate, he informs 03, that he has addressed himself to the nonmedi-

"We oromised in a former number that we should recur to this
wore, 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. clic tribe of ' Quiet Symathlsers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who gaffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many h mdreds would
be saved much needless suffering of loodY and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much m0ney...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhma. and to place the treat-

DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW A RAILWAY
TRAlN.—During Thursday night a diabolical attempt
was made to overthrow a train on the Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, near to Deepear.
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 Deepear station, the
engine-driver of the train saw that a sleeper was lying
across the up line. He 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 ofl
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, aridarrived at Sheffield withoutany 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 offeuder.—Sheffield Tinted.

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. It 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 iu
thetreaty of 1811.
" The Sublime Porte, in expressing the sentiments
which this event has causedi 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 negoeiations which were oyened in concert with

Prince Mentschikoff were restricted at first to the points
which offered difficulties relative to the question of the
Uoly 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 negcia-
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 au 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 the 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 the 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 snore sorrow in
finding itself deceived in this hope, es the eminent qualities
of the Emperor of Russia, his known justice and modera-
tion, (lid 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 had
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
religions privileges of which it is a question on the treaty
of KainardjeP 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
i Russia can scarcely be found in it, still less a spe-
ciality n favour of the Greek religion. ,
" However this may be, if the Sublimetrorte 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 Sire 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

to tl;;;ati;faJion of all parties.

THE GAB STRIKE.

Yesterday it was expected that the inconvenience to
which the public had been put by the withdrawal of the
cabs would be carried to its height by the withdrawal of
the omnibuses, the proprietors of which held a meeting
on Wednesday to determine upon the expediency of
adopting that step, but are understood to have deter-
mined to refrain from such a proceeding at present, and
their vehicles, therefore, so fir at least as the hackney
cabs are concerned, were yesterday in full efficiency, to
the great disgust of a large proportion of the cab frater-
nity, who expected to paralyse the metropolis iiy the
entire withdrawal from its streets of all hack convey-

ances.
The cabs, as on Wednesday, were kept off the stand-,
and the streets consequently presented a repetition 01
Wednesday's semi-desolation : but the void was in some
dee,,,ree supplied by the' appearance of private vehicles
and hired flys, which appeared in more than ordinary
numbers. One striking fact in connection with the cab
strike is the little effect which it appears to have pro-
duced in increasing the traffic by omnibus, as the num-
ber of passengers carried in that manner during the last
two days, so far from exceeding the average, seems to
have fallen below it, showing, evidently, that the classes
of riders usually patronising the two modes of convey-
ance referred to are so widely distinct as to render om-
nibuses useless to cab riders, or, on the other hand, that
the public resent the rise from threepenny to fourpenny
fares which has within the last few days taken place on
some of the main omnibus routes.
At the various railway stations large bodies of police
were again kept on duty throughout the day, but, with
the exception of the little entente which occurred on
Wednesday morning at King's-cross, and in which a re-
fractory driver had the panels of his carriage smashed
by his indignant brethren of the whip, we believe no
_disturbance has taken place among the drivers, who, in
fact, assembled at their various points of rendeivous in
smaller numbers than on the previous day, the original
excitement appearing in some measure to have subsided,
and the question of " ways and means" having so far
forced itself upon the attention of a portion of the
drivers as to induce them to spread themselves in various
directions, with'a view to supply the deficit arising from
the cessation of their ordinary avocations. Large num-
bers also retreated to the " privacy of the tap-room,"
to canvass the opinions so freely expressed by the
various daily papers upon the motives and prospects of
the movement ; and it was somewhat amusing to wit-
ness the hearty way in which they "d -—d the eyes"
of all who dared to condemn the •' Revolt of Cabdom."
Within the railway stations the inconvenience of
Wednesday was somewhat lessened, owing to the ener-
getic measures taken by the various companies, a larger
supply of vehicles of all descriptions being in attend-
ance than the unexpected event at first enabled them
to command. Livery stable keepers and costermongers

arriving from the country had a choice
of conveyance for themselves and luggage, ranging
from the chariot to the costermonger's barrow,
while numerous strange looking porters of the amateur
class beset the gates, anxious to pounce upon any indivi-
dual who emerged from within, luggage in hand. Some
of the newly arrived, however, from their dress appa-
rently belonging to the respectable classes, resolutely.re-
fused all offers of assistance, and went staggering along
under heavy loads, which, under ordinary circumstances,
they would probably scorn to touch, but which they now
preferred to carry rather than become the victims of the
cab conspiracy. Altogether, upon the arrival of a train,
the disgorgement of its freight presented outside the sta-
tion a tout ensemble well worthy the inspection of the
curious observer of men and manners in times of diffi-
culty.
The Commissioners of Inland Revenue have sanctioned
the employment of any description of vehicle at the dif-
ferent terminii without the necessity of a previous
license ; and extra omnibuses and flys are provided by
several of the companies, who also undertake the transit
of luggage to and from the stations at moderate charges.
These are no doubt only the first steps to wider measures
of retaliation on the part of the public, which may make
the cab proprietors repent the folly of their present
conduct.

Among cabmen the oa dit is, that the strike will, :at
least, be kept for a fortnight, should not their demands
be granted, and liable td renewal, according to circum-
stances. They insist, at the same time, upon the reason-
able nature of their demands, and only wonder how Mr.
Fitzroy and the Parliament can refuse to grant them.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE CAB PROPRIETORS.
The Committee of the United Hackney Catiiige Pro-
prietors met at the CranbOurne Hotel to consider the
best mode of carrying into effect the resolutions agreed
to by the meetinc, held at the National-hall on Wednes-
day, and, after :long discussion, agreed to draw up a-
memorial embodying those resolutions for presentation
to the Home-office. A deputation was then appointed,
and proceeded at once with the memorial to the Home-
office fur the purpose of obtaining an interview with
Mr. Fitzroy. They presented their demands in the
form of the fo lowing provisions, which the cab-owners
desired to have enacted :
