TEETH.-By MR. ESKELL'S INVENTION
(Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial
Sets 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 tne closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's 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 affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed tc last a life
time, as well as for mastication and articulation. Mr.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

WESTMINSTER.

A MAN CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTING TO CUT HIS
THROAT AT THE INTERNATIONAL Ex HIBITION.—John
Greenhow, a man apparently in a very dejected state, was
charged:with making two attempts to cut his throat at the
Exhibition.

Fredk, Channer, 474 X, said that yesterday afternoon he
found the defendant in the Exhibition, evidently suffering
under great depression of spirits. Witness asked what was
the matter with him, to which he made no reply, but said
he f.hould like to see a Mr. Al!cock. Witness fetched Mr.
Allcock, when the defendant shook hands with him, and
said " Good bye." Immediately after this the defendant
drew a knife across his throat and fell on the ground. The
knife but little more than scratched him, but he took
another knife from his pocket, and endeavoured to make a
second attempt of the same description.
Mr. Ingham—What did you do with him ?
Witness--I took him to the reserve room of the Exhibi-
tion, and having some reason to believe that he had taken
poison I sent for a doctor, but it was his opinion that such
was not the case.

The Scotch Iron Trade.

(From the Annual Report of Mr. Thomas Thorburn.)
Scotland shows a marvellous progress in the develop-
ment of the iron trade. The steam engine, the hot. blast,
and the railway system have doubtless contributed to this
prominent feature of our national prosperity. And, it is to
be recorded for the information of the world, that in less
than half a century, the production of pig iron has in-
creased more than one hundred-fold.

Seven years ago, the stock of pig iron in Scotland di
not exceed 10,000 tons. Now our wealth in this the most
useful of metals has accumulated to at least 720,000 tons,
which, calculated at the average price for the year, in ster-
ling money, is £1,900,000, thus approximating to the
amount of gold bullion held by the Scotch banks. And it
may reasonably be expected that the combined, steady, and
well directed efforts of producers and capitalists will, in the
course of two years, achieve the grand result of a stock of
one million of tons.

The quantity of pig iron produced in the year just closing
is computed at 1,080,000 tons, which, valued at this year's
average price, represents £2,850,000 sterling. The ex-
ports, foreign and coastwise, combined with the local cm-
sumption, amounted to 970,000 tons. The stocks, there-
fore, show an increase of 110,000 tons, when compared
with the same period last year.
It may arrest attention, that whilst the stocks have been
steadily increasing, the price has risen from 49s to 57s Gd
per ton. This has no doubt been owing to speculative ope-
rations in the article, based upon a sanguine belief in en
early settlement of the American war, but the advance
arising from this expectation has been very shortly main-
tained. The lowest price was 48s in January, and the
average for the year is 52s 10d per ton.
The malleable iron works, the foundries, and the ship
building yards on the Clyde are generally well employed ;
and should the belief in the superior advantages and im-
pregnable character of the iron-clad ship gain ground, it
may reasonably be hoped that those great branches of na-
tional industry will continue to flourish.
Since the Irish famine, which the great wealth and
greater charity of this country encountered and overcame,
there has been nothing approaching the enormous suffer•••
ing and destitution arising from the cotton famine in Lan-
cashire. But it is a matter of unspeakable satisfaction, that
the resources of this great country, inc uding very particu-
larly those detived from the successful development, of
the iron manufacture, are adequately alleviating this un-
precedented distress.
The hope may therefore be confidently entertained that
the iron trade, as hitherto, will continuo to increase, and
that, whilst adding to the wealth of Scotland, it will con-
tribute to the civilisation and prosperity of the world.

THE VOLUNTEERS.

On Friday a field-day among several of the metropolitan
corps took place onkhe downs at Caterham, about 17 miles
from London. The ground selected for the movements it;
distant about five miles from the Caterham junction, on a
declivity of the downs, near the clubhouse and rifle range
of the South Middlesex Rifles, and is well adapted for
testing the progress made by each corps in battalion move-
ments. The corps engaged consisted of the 2d, or South
Middlesex Rifles, the 3d City of London (Working Men's),
the North-East London Rifle Brigade, and the 4th Tower
Hamlets Rifles. Major Richards was in command of the
3d City, and the chief command was taken by Lord Rane-
lagh, whose regiment (the South Middlesex) mustered
more strongly than any of the others. The North-East
London Rifle Brigade and the 4th Tower Hamlets took up
position to the north of the downs on a high eminence, and
represented the enemy, while their opponents formed in line
at the bottom of the undulation. Shortly after 3 o'clock
the enemy threw out skirmishers to dislodge Lord Rene-
lagh's small force, and steadily advancing down the hill
kept up a well-sustained fire on their opponents. The
latter, notwithstanding the apparent advantage the enemy
had over them in firing from the heights, replied with equal
vigour, and though retiring kept pouring in a galling fire,
till the enemy had taken possession of the position pre-
viously occupied by their adversaries. Here, however, the
good fortune of the enemy seemed to forsake them, for they
retired, and Lord Ranelagb, fully alive to the supposed
defeat, formed his men in column, and they poured in a
tremendous volley, which reverberated over the hills find
dales, and as a matter of course put their foes hors do
combat. A few other movements brought the field• day to
a close. The weather was all that could be desired, and
the majority of the movements were well executed, the
steadiness with which the South Middlesex and 3d City
marched in line being especially commendable. The
manoeuvres of the Tower Hamlets are also entitled to
similar praise; but it was evident to the most casual ob-
server that they have yet much to learn in skirmishing
drill.

SYDNEY;LADY MORGAN.—With the manuscript
of" The Novice" ehe made the journey from Dublin
to London alone; no pleasant enterprise in 1805, when the
Conway and the Menai Straits were yet unbridged, and the
road by Penmaenmawr was as wild and difficult as in Dr.
Johnson's days. When the coach drove into the " Swan
with Two Necks" in Lad-lane, she had not a notion where
to go or what to do next, and sat down upon her small
trunk in the yard, to wait until the bustle or arrival should
have a little subsided. Overcome with fatigue and anxiety
she fell fast asleep. Such was the first appearance in Lon-
don of Sydney, Lady Morgan; and artists are not likely to
forget a circumstance so picturesque,—.lthoueum,

THAMES.

DASTARDLY ASSAULT ON POLICE - CONSTABLES. -It
was reported this morning to Mr. Woolrych that Charles
Abbott, a valuable detective officer, who took Captain Stone,
of the ship Martha Pope, into custody for manslaughter,
had been seriously wounded by a cowardly miscreant on
Christmas Eve. Abbott was assisting another constable in
securing a desperate ruffian who was drunk, and had com-
mitted an assault, when another villain approached and
struck Abbott a heavy blow on the jaw, breaking it in two
places. It is supposed the scoundrel who committed this
outrage had a hammer, or piece of iron, in his hand.
Abbott was carried in en insensible condition to the sta-
tion, and still remains there under medical treatment.
It is feared that the public have lost for ever the services of
an intelligent and active officer. James Fletcher, a police
constable, No. 33 H, was severely beaten and disabled by
two Irishmen, named NI ichael Maloney and Thomas Fl 3 nn,
of No. 2, Blacksmiths Ann's-place. The two Irishmen are
tinkers, and they were fighting with another tinker named
John Maloney. All three men were stripped, and when
Fletcher interfered with them Flynn struck him on the
mouth with his fist, and Michael Maloney obtained a
hammer, and while Fletcher was struggling with Flynn,
struck him on the side of the head with it, inflicting a
severe wound. Another fellow aimed a blow at Fletcher
with a more ponderous hammer, but Fletcher avoided
the murderous blow intended for him, and knocked the fel-
low down with his staff. Fletcher was disabled and left on
the ground in an insensible state, Mr, Grainger Tandy,

SINGULAR CASE UNDER THE MATRIMONIAL CAUSES
ACT.—A woman about 40 years of age, of pleasing ex-
terior, besought the magistrate's assistance under the
following circumstances :
The lady said she had been deserted by her husband and
now sought a gratuitous order under the Matrimonial
Causes Act, to prevent her husband, should he return,
from taking anything she possessed.
Mr. Paynter—How long have you been married ?
Applicant—Eleven years.
Mr. Paynter—How long has he deserted you ?
Applicant—Four years.
Mr. Paynter—Under what circumstances did he leave
you ?

Applicant—We were residing at Hampstead when he
suddenly absented himself and went, as I afterwards
understood, to Bedford Races.
Mr. Paynter—When did you last see him ?
Applicant—Two years ago.
Mr. Paynter—Did he then continue with yon ?
Applicant—No ; it was a mere visit to tell me he was
going abroad.
Mr. Paynter—Did you consent to his going abroad ?
Applicant—l had nothing to do with it. I had no voice
whatever in the matter. My husband went by the recom-
mendation of his friends. 1-b had indebted himself, and
was in difficulties.

Mr. Paynter—Was it your own furniture in the house at
Hampstead ?
Applicant— It was.
Mr. Paynter—What became of it after your husband
left ?

Applicant--It was seized by the landlord and sold for the
rent that had been owing.
_ _ _

Mr. Paynter—Have you acquired property sinee he left
you ?
Applicant—Nothing in particular.
Mr. Paynter—Then there will be nothing to make an
order to protect?

Applicant—l am about to establish a school, and am told
that he might come and take any thing. I have main-
tained my children by having pupils. All I havo is a
pianoforte and a few other little things.
Applicant further said her husband had held an excellent
appointment, which he had thrown up for horse racing.
Mr. Paynter—The case is one of much Ifficulty. It is
one to which I must refer you to the Court above. I can-
not grant the order.
