TEETH.—By her Majesty's Royal Letters
Patent. —Newly-invented and Patented Application of Che-
mically-prepared White India-rubber in the constrtntion of Artificial
Teeth. Gums, and Palates.—Mr. EPHRAIM MOSELY, Surgeon-
Dentist, 61, Cdosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square, Solo Inventor and
Patentee.—A new, original, and invaluable invention, cor sisting in
the adaptation, with the most absolute perfection and success, of
CHEMICALLY-PREPARED WHITE INDIA-RIIRBER as a lining
to the ordinary gold or bone frame. The extraordinary results of
this application may be briefly noted in a few of their most promi-
nent features, as the following 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 tit e absorption of the gums. The acids
of the mouth exert FO 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.

SHERIFF'S COURT-(THIS DA Y).

(Before Mr. Ogle, Q.C.)
BUCHANAN V. THORLEY.-HEAVY EXPENSES OF COUNTY
COURTS.

This was a judgment summons calling upon defendant
to show cause why,he did not pay the sum of 10/. 7s. 6d.,
or in default committed for 40 days.
Mr. Buchanan, solicitor, of Basinghall-street, ap-
peared in person, and submitted that this was a case
strictly within the meaning of the 89th section of the
act, which gives power to the Court to commit for 40
days in cases where the defendant was contumacious,
or had vexatiously put the plaintiff to unnecessary
costs. In this care they had been run up to nearly
three times the amount of the original debt. In 1847,
he, (plaintiff) was engaged to conduct the proceedings to
enable the defendant to pass the Insolvent Debtors'
Court, and the bill amounted to between 41. and 51.
Proceedings were, after a long delay, taken in the Shore-
ditch and other ounty Courts ; but all the proceedings
were evaded by defendant till plaintiff sued him in this
court. Defendant then gave a promissory note to pay
the debt at 10s. a month ; but, failing in doing so,
plaintiff took out a judgment summons, which at the
earnest solicitation of the defendant he andoned, on
his faithful promise to pay 2s. 6d. per week. In this
also defendant failed. Another judgment was then
taken out, defendant having only paid 7s. 6d. during
the whole of the time. The debt and court fees out of
pocket amounted to 101. 7s. 6d., and a further sum had
been expended to recover this amount, through the vex-
atious course adopted by the defendant. Defendant had
been imprisoned for seven days, but that had not made
the slightest impression. Defendant was in the receipt
of 255. a week, and in the same situation he was when
he took the benefit of the act. Mr. Buchanan said he
had no desire to press harshly, and he believed that
creditors as a body were more willing to act kindly
where the debtor was honest but could not pay ; yet
when there was a gross deception,t it became their duy
to press for the greatest punishment the law allowed.
His Honour said the plaintiff had acted very leniently.
He should commit the defendant on the present occasion
for 20 days, which might make some improvement.
Defendant was at once taken into custody.

WORSHIP-STREET-(THIS .DA Y).

ATTEMPTING TO STAB.—joseph, Hyland, 60 years of
age, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with attempt-
' ing to stab Thomas Hardy, broker, of Union-street,
Bishopsgate, and Robert Beal, rag-merchant, of 6, Bush-
lane, City. From the evidence of the prosecutors it was
adduced that the prisoner rented apartments in a house
of Mr. Beal's, at 51, Gun-street, Old Artillery-ground,
but it being found requisite to distrain upon his chattels
for rent, Mr. Hardy, the broker, was instructed to do
so. Yesterday the distress was made, and shortly after
the broker was sent for on the representation that his
man was in danger of his life. On entering the room
prisoner rushed to a cupboard, and seizing a peculiarly
sharp-pointed table-knife, was on the point of plunging
it into Mr. Hardy's back, when that person caught him
by the throat and with difficulty wrested the weapon
from him ; prisoner then struck him about the head and
face, which was covered with blood from the blows in-
flicted. At seven o'clock in the evening Mr. Beal, with
a constable in waiting, went into the room, and then the
prisoner with frightful oaths attempted to possess him-
self of the poker, but was prevented, on which he
stealthily took the table-knife from where it had been
placed, and made a stab at Mr. Beal's right breast, which
was providentially averted by that gentleman parrying
it, taking effect on the shoulder, cutting the coat, which
was produced in court. The knife was afterwards found
on the floor. 28 H deposed to the ferocious violence of
the prisoner, who also resisted him. The prisoner, who
is a sawyer, denied having touched the knife. Mr.
D'Eyncourt at once committed him for trial.

There bas been only a limited business done on 'Change
this morning. Midlands and Lancashire and Yorkshires
have again declined, closing at their lowest
.point. The
concluding transactions were as follows :—Midland Stock,

the same time. After partaking of some slight re-
fection, their Majesties returned for a few minutes
to the Salle du Tr6ne, and then took their depar-
ture at about twelve o'clock, the Emperor expres-
sing to M. Billault his entire satisfaction at the
admirable manner in which the fête had been con-
ducted.

Looking generally at this fête, the guests were
unanimous in declaring it to be one of the most
successful seen in Paris of late years. The number
of beautiful women present was extraordinary, and
the display of diamonds unusually fine. The vast
variety of official costumes imparted a peculiar ap-
pearance of animation to the scene ; and the uni-
forms of most of the military services of Europe
were to be seen there, the scarlet of the English
army being pretty numerously represented. Some
English court-dresses were also to be seen worn, it
is said, by some of the gentlemen who had in the
morning presented the peace address to the Em-
peror. The number of gentlemen in ordinary ball-
dress, namely the plain black coat, amounted per-
haps to about a fourth part of the male guests pre-
sent.. It is calculated that about 5,000 persons
passed through the rooms in the course of the night.
About three o'clock the company began to thin, but
dancing was kept up with great spirit until half-
past four in the morning. To such persons as were
not present, we must declare, in conclusion, that
we can convey to them by our description of this
brilliant fête, but a very faint idea of the admirable
taste of the decorations, or the perfect success of
the various arrangements.
The Moniteur contains a decree maintaining the
Count Argout, senator and governor of the Bank,
in his functions as president of the commission of
surveillance of the Caisses d'Amortissement.

. All descriptions of Rentes experienced a serious
fall yesterday, and the Bourse generally has been
of a dull and declining character. The Three per
Cents. for cash maintained their position on Mon-
day, while the same description of securities for the
account fell 15c., have gone down 40c. yesterday,
and the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have added
15c. to the fall of sc. which took place the previous
day. For the account the Three per Cents. have
given way to the extent of 40c., and the Four-and-
a-Half per Cents. 10c. Bank Stock, which has
been steadily declining for some days past, has
again come down down, the fall being no less
than 50f. At the close of business the following
were the quotations :—For cash : Three per Cents.,
79f_ ; Four and-a-nail per Cents, 1031. 50c.
For the account : Three per Cents., 79f. 40c. ;
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 103 f. 50c. Bank

ASSAULTING A CONSTABLi —A tall, gentlemanly-look-
ing young man, who gave the name of Edward Marshall,
and who was stated to be a student of Trinity College,
Cambridge, but who at the police station gave the name
of " Frederick Leveson Gower, of Stafford-house, Saint
James's Palace," and Susan Reeves, a woman of the town,
were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with inde-
cent conduct. The defendant Marshall was further
charged with assaulting Police-constable 26 C while in
the execution of his duty.
The constable stated that about two o'clock this morn-
ing he was on duty in Fox and Hounds-yard, Hanover-
square, when he saw the defendant in a very indecent
posture. As the place was inhabited by cabmen and
their famihes, some of whom were about, witness re-
quested them to adjourn from thence to some conve-
nient house in the neighbourhood. The defendant Mar-
shall then said, "You go to h—; how dare you to
interfere with me ?" The woman then laid hold of his
(Marshall's) arm and said, " Don't talk to him—per-
haps he is not aware who you are." Witness again
desired them to go away, when the defendant (Marshall)
called him a d—d scoundrel, and struck him two or
three times across the shoulders with a stick he had in
his hand. Witness then took them both to the station.
They were both quite sober.
Inspector Parke, C division, said the defendant Mar-
shall, when at the station, gave the name of Frederick
Leveson Gower, and said he was a son of the Duke of
Sutherland, but after being questioned admitted that he
had assumed that honourable name, and that his real
name was Edward Marshall, of Trinity College, Cam-
buidge.

The defendant, who denied the charge in, toto, was
severely reprimanded by Mr. Bingham, and fined 20s.
for the assault on the constable.
The woman was discharged.
Mr. Charles Hope, who described himself as a mer-
chant, 45, Cornhill, was charged with having been drunk
and blowing a horn in the Haymarket,' at two o'clock this
morning, to the great annoyance of the inhabitants.
The charge having been proved by Barber, 59 C, Mr.
Bingham fined defendant 205., which he immediately
paid.
