NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW
DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs,
wires, or :features. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth,
as not to be distinguished from 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 ex-
traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will supp3rt and pre-
serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation
and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and usefill in mas-
tication.

PALMERSTON."

In Prussia, the Landwehr familiarises the youth
to the use of arms. Here we have nothing of the
kind ; but were a taste for rifle practice diffused
pretty widely, it would go far to qualify our
young men to become, at a very short warning,
most efficient defenders of their country. The
fundamental qualification is to be a good shot ;
the requisite drill is more easily acquired, but for
the former, skill and practice are essential.
Where so much of the training must consist in
target work, the requisite discipline becomes a
highly interesting and stimulating amusement ;
and some of us can testify from experience that
well-conducted rifle practice is only second in in-
terest to the fowling-piece and the pointer. We really
think it preferable to the modern battue shooting,
a practice all but unknown when those of us above
50 had not reached half that age. We most heartily
wish success to the Victoria Rifles, and hope they
will soon be followed by other corps competing
with them in furnishing first-rate marksmen. We
do not quarrel with YOUNG ENGLAND for their
taste for cricket, but we must hold that the man
who can hit the bull's eye pretty often, may be of
much more service to his country than the man
who can score most notches, or knock down most
wickets. Applications for enrolment in the Vic-
toria Rifles are, we understand, to be made to the
Honorary Secretary, W. T. PRITCHARD, Esq.,
Doctors' Commons.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

FORTH AND CLYDE JUNCTION.

The ceremony of cutting the first sod on this line was
performed on Thursday by the Duke of Montrose, chair-
man of the company, in Cowan's Hospital Park, at
Stirling. The weather was very inauspicious, it having
snowed during the whole course of the proceedings,
which were made as short as possible. Several Scottish
railway directors attended, representing nearly all the
railway boards in Scotland. Immediately after the
ceremony, the party (120 in number) adjourned to the
Golden Lion Hotel, where an excellent luncheon was
prepared. The Duke of Montrose presided. The usual
loyal and other toasts were given and responded to, in-
cluding " Prosperity and Success to the Forth and
Clyde Railway." It was stated that the line would be
executed at a cost averaging 5,000/. per mile, and would
have at one end of Dumbarton, which communicated
with other lines, and at the other end the rising town of
Stirling—the Forth on one hand and the Clyde on the
other. It would give easy access to Loch Lomond and
other interesting places. The line would be completed
for traffic in the summer of 1855. The whole of the
proceedings terminated in a very satisfactory manner.

A NEW THEATRE IN THE EAST.

Mr. E. T. Smith, the lessee of Drury-lane, has pur-
chased the extensive freehold estate on which Shadwell
workhouse stands, for the purpose of erecting a large
and commodious theatre on the site thereof. The estate
was sold by the Stepney Union, under an order of the
Poor Law Board, at the Auction Mart, yesterday. It
comprises an area of 17,066 feet, enclosed with brick
walls and carriage entrance ; the spacious building used
as the workhouse, standing on 3,800 feet of ground, and
numerous other brick buildings ; also a large garden.
We cannot doubt but that the enterprise of Mr. Smith
will set the East-end of the town alive. It is somewhat
singular that he should have purchased a workhouse to
convert into a theatre, at the very moment when his
out-door relief to the poor in the way of soup, bread,
I &c., is creating such a sensation in the neighbourhood
of Drury-lane. During the late inclement weather,
Mr. Smith's philanthropy would have been a great
boon to the inhabitants of Shadwell.
London, England, 1854-01-19

OXFORD, JAN. 18.

A requisition, numerously signed by the resident
members of Convocation, has this day been sent to Sir
William Heatheote, Bart., soliciting him to become
candidate for the approaching vacancy in the represen-
tation of this University. The requisition is entrusted
to the Rev. Robert Hussey, 8.D., Regius Professor of
Ecclesiastical History, who this morning left Oxford
for the purpose of presenting it to the honourable
baronet, and should he accede to the wishes of the re-
quisitionists, we understand that the Wardell of New
College has consented to become the chairman of his
Oxford committee. At present we understand no an-
swer has been received.
Lord Robert Cecil, it is now quite certain, is the
nobleman who has been solicited by the Low Church
party to become their candidate. His lordship, who was
formerly of Christ (',arch, was, in the Michaelmas
Term, 1549, awarded an honorary fourth class in mathe-
matics, and was last November elected to a fellowship
at All Souls' College. His lordship is 24 years of age.
Up to this morning no reply had been received from his
lordship.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

FORTH AND CLYDE JUNCTION.

The ceremony of cutting the first sod on this line was
performed on Thursday by the Duke of Montrose, chair-
man of the company, in Cowan's Hospital Park, at
Stirling. The weather was very inauspicious, it having
snowed during the whole course of the proceedings,
which were made as short as possible. Several Scottish
railway directors attended, representing nearly all the
railway boards in Scotland. Immediately after the
ceremony, the party (120 in number) adjourned to the
Golden Lion Hotel, where an excellent luncheon was
prepared. The Duke of Montrose presided. The usual
loyal and other toasts were given and responded to, in-
cluding " Proiperity and Success to the Forth and
Clyde Railway." It was stated that the line would be
executed at a cost averaging 5,0001. per mile, and would
have at one end of Dumbarton, which communicated
with other lines, and at the other end the rising town of
Stirling—the Forth on one hand and the Clyde on the
other. It would give easy access to Loch Lomond and
other interesting places. The line would be completed
for traffic in the summer of 1855. The whole of the
proceedings terminated in a very satisfactory manner.

CALEDONIAN.
This company's Parliamentary estimate for their Les-
mahagow branches, relinquishment of works, and ar-
rangement of share and loan capital is certified at

CARLISLE AND SILLOTH BAY RAILWAY

AND DOCKS

The estimated expense reported to Parliament for con-
structing the railway portion of this scheme, including
land and contingencies, is 65,000/., and the estimated
cost of the docks, jetty, and works, 70,0001. ; making,
together, 135,0001.

WAVENEY VALLEY.
It appears that the committee, appointed some time
ago. at Harleston, to obtain subscriptions to the amount
of 12,0001. from local parties interested in the construc-
tion of the line from Twetsball to Harleston, have not
as yet succeeded in obtaining the sum required to enable
the contractors to proceed with their works. The com-
mittee have been requested to continue their labours in
the hope of ultimate success.

EAST LANCASHIRE.
The arbitrator between this company and their con-
tractor has awarded to the latter 28,2101,, subject to
the opinion of the Court as to whether the contractor
is entitled to 10 per cent. over his schedule prices.

SOUTH WALES.
The assessment of the portion of this line in Newport
has just been reduced by the magistrates from 400/.
to 280/,

NEWRY AND ENNISKILLEN.
Arrangements for opening this short line of three
miles and a half in length, in connection with the
Dublin and Balfast Junction Railway, have, it appears,
been made, and are to be immediately carried into
effect by opening the line for public traffic from the
quays of Newry to the junction of the Belfast line at
Goragh-wood.

LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1854

Advices three days later from St. Petersburgh,
dated in consequence to the 12th instant inclu-
sively, are of a nature more than ever threatening.
Beyond which, despatches received via Paris from

Vienna announce that the propositions of the Four
Powers were known to have been positively re-

jected by the Russian Government. An intima-
tion—this—perfectly in keeping with a variety

of ominous antecedents. It was distinctly under-

stood, for instance, that the feeling prevalent for
some time past in St. Petersburgh has been inimi-
cal to the latest defined policy of France and
