TEETH.—By her Majesty's Royal Letters
Pa'ent.—vewly-invented and Patented Application of Che
mically-prepared White India-rubber in the constrmtion of Arai:leis
Teeth, Gums, and Palates.—Mr. EPHRAIM MOSELY, Surgeon-
Dentist, 61, Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-squire, Sole Inventor and
Patentee.—A new, original, and invaluable invention, cot• slating in
the adaptation, with the most absolute perfection and success, of
CHEMICALLY-PREPARED WHITE INDIA-RUBBER 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 :—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 lit, 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 th e absorption of the gums. The acids
of the mouth exert AO 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.

AUSTRIA.

A. letter from Vienna in the Breslau Gazette says
that the Lloyd was put in type for the 17th, but
did not appear on that day. Mr. Warrens, the
chief editor of that paper, had bad a private audi-
ence of the Emperor, who gave him a kind recep
tion ; and he afterwards obtained permission to re-
sume the publication of his papers. " Foreign
countries," the correspondent adds, " can have
but a faint idea of the warlike prepar,ations of
Austria. It is certain that there are at present
600,000 men under arms. On the 15th the Emperor
caused an experiment to be made in his presence of
the blowing up of a pontoon bridge. Prince Gort-
chakoff went toCount Buol the other day to demand
explanations, in the name of his government, on
the last Austrian note, and the new form given to

ITALY.

Letters from Rome of the 15th mention that a
despatch had been received there the day previous
from the War.office in Paris, ordering the depar-
ture of a battery of the Bth Regiment of Artillery
which has been for some time in garrison in that
city, and at the same time of a regiment of Dra- •
goons. The half of that force was ordered to march
on the 20th, and the remainder on the 22d. They
are to go by land, and it is only when they shall
have marched some distance that their destination
will be communicated to them. It is supposed that
they are to enter the Austrian territory, and thence
to proceed to the Danubian Principalities. I men-
tioned some days since, on the authority of a letter
from Lyons, that a brigade of cavalry of that city
and a considerable body of infantry were expected
soon to take the same route.

THE BALTIC.

A letter from Christiana, 12th, in the Boersen-
Italie of Hamburg, says :—" The Minister of the
Interior has made known that the French and Eng-
lish ambassadors at Stockholm have declared, in
the name of their Governments, by notes dated
the 25th, that in the event of the blockade being
renewed next spring, the commercial relations be-
tween Finmarken and the Russian ports in the
White Sea, which continued last summer, will be
no longer tolerated."

numerous and opulent Proprietary, which fund has been further in-
creased by the accumulation of an additional reserve, now amount-
ing to 96,8601. Returns of Three-fifths of the Profits of the Company

ANTICIPATED ATTACK ON

ODESSA.

VIENNA, SUNDAY EVENING,

The Oest. Correspondent has letters from
Odessa of the 12th, stating that the fear of an

attack by the Allies is so great that new strand
batteries have been constructed and intrenchments
made on the land side.
General Schabelsky, a most energetic man, has
succeeded General Annenkoff as Governor.

The rainy weather continues, and the roads
are so bad that it takes three days to travel 50
English miles in the Crimea.
The garrison of Odessa now consists of 50,000

men.

Eight steamers have been taking soundings off
Etchakoff, and it is feared the Allies will make a

descent on Kinburn preparatory to an attack on

Perekop.

We have received the following from our cor•

respondent at Marseilles :

" MARSEILLES, SUNDAY.
" The Telemaque, expected with dates from
Constantinople of the 14th, has not arrived.
" A miscreant fired a pistol to-ritzy at General
Rostolan.

" The shot missed, and the assassin was ar.

rested,"

RUSSIA.
We have received the following from our cor

respondent at Berlin :

" BERLIN, SUNDAY.

"By an ukase dated the 13th a levy of 10
men in every 1,000 throughout the eastern half
of the empire is decreed.
" This levy will commence on the 15th of
February, and must be finished by the 15th of
March.
" The Jews are not exempt."

THE PRINCIPALITIES

The Wanderer of Vienna has the following from
Jassy, 16th :—" The property of the Greek con-
vents, which are richer than the state, will be con-
fiscated on account of their revolutionary tenden-
cies. The French divisionsare impatiently expected
in the Principalities."
The German Gazette of Bucharest, of the 7th,
says that the government has just published the
following important notice concerning the-Greeks
residing in Wallachia :—" In consequence of mea-
sures decided on by the Sublime' Porte relative to
atioitYus by the
—measures
twhheiGehreehkasvwehobereensideciontatmhiusnPicriartlceidp
order of the Sultan—all these Greek subjects are
placed under the authority of the Wallachian go-
vernment, and all of them are to give security for
their remaining quiet. This order is to be most rigor-
ously enforced, and all Greek subjects are to imme-
diately inform the authorities of theirpresence in the
country, and to give the requisite securities. Any
persons who do not conform to this order will be at
once expelled from the country. The authorities
are furthermore to be attentive to discover such
Greeks as have served in the corps of volunteers,
as such persons are not permitted to remain in the
principality. Nominative lists must be drawn up
without delay of the position and residence of every
Greek subject, which lists are to be sent in duo
course to the Millister of the Interior."

THE CRIMEA.
Theenna
following from
Vi
h_a
On
then
the 19th ult. a
military council was held at Sebastopol in presence
of the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael, who
A,
udgastbeudrYthGealzeBttthe
were then in the Crimea. The head of the staff of
Prince Menschikoff is said to have proposed new
means of defence for Sebastopol, which were agreed
to unanimously. In consequence it was resolved,
it is said-Ist, That a squadron shall be equipped
in the port of Sebastopol for occasionally going
out ; 2dly, That the defence should not be any
longer extended to the whole circuit of Sebastopol,
hut be restricted to the point of attack ; and 3dly,
That a fortified camp should be established between
Bakschi-Serai and Simpheropol, with a detached
corps on the Tchernaya.
The letter in question terminates with the follow-
ing consideration :—" As long as the Isthmus of
Perekop is not closed, the Russians will remain
masters of the situation. Perekop is the most im-
portant strategetical point for Prince Menschikoff,
being, in fact, the key of the Tauris, by which can
always arrive reinforcements and provisions in abun-
dance."

A NEW PLAN FOR ENLIGHTENING THE
RUSSIANS.
We read in the Corriere Italian° of Vienna of
the 19th December, the following account of a new
application of scientific discovery to the purposes
of warfare :—There is a project submitted to the
Western Governments, that electric lights should
be thrown from the Allied positions on the works
and batteries of the Russians. Their every move-
ment and exact situation could thus be shown the
Allied artillerists and riflemen, while the latter
would be concealed in the deepest obscurity, occa-
sioned by the intensely brilliant light.

ALTERATION IN THE MAIL SERVICE TO
PENANG, SINGAPORE, AND CHINA.

General Post-office, Dec., 1854.

The mails from Penang, Singapore, and China, will in
future be forwarded once a month only, instead of
twice a month ; and the packet service, which hitherto
bas not extended beyond Hong Kong, will be carried on
to Shanghai.
The mails for the above places intended to be de-
spatched by the route of Southampton, will be made up
in London on the morning of the 4th of every month
(commencing in January), and those via Marseilles on
the evening of the 9th of every month.
When, however, the 4th of the months falls on
Sunday, the mails via Southampton will be made up in
London on the previous evening, and when the 9th of
the months falls on a Sunday, the mails via Marseilles
will be made up on the evening of the following day.

REDUCTION OF FRENCH FOSTAGE.

A new postal treaty has been entered into with
France, the principal effect of which will be the reduction
of the postage upon pre-paid letters weighing not more
than one quarter of au ounce (a weight which includes
the grzat majority), to 4d., instead of Bd. or 10d., as
heretofore. This reduced po:,tage of 4d. will carry the
letter from any part of the United Kingdom to any part
of France or Algeria. If the letter be posted unpaid,
the 'charge will be double. Under the provisions of this
treaty, the postage on letters passing through England
or France will also in many cases be reduced. On all
these points detailed information will be issued. The
new treaty will come into operation on the Ist of
January.

decorative charm.

the Hands, Arms, and Neck; and
ROWLANDS' ODONTO,

THE ROYAL BARON OF BEEF.

The baron of beef, which from time immemorial has
formed the staple Christmas dish of the Sovereigns of .
England, was this year supplied by Mr. Minton, of Peas-
cod-street, Windsor, butcher to her Majesty. It was cut
from the carcase of a fine Highland ox, fed by his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, at the Model Farm, in the
Home Park. The baron weighed precisely 60 stone, or
4801b5., and judges pronounced the meat to be of very
superior quality. The process of roasting so large a
weight of beef is one of no ordinary difficulty, and only
to be accomplished perfectly in the largest baronial halls,
or in the kitchen of Windsor Castle. In the present
instance the baron was put down before an enor-
mous fire on S tturday afternoon, and for fourteen
hours was it watched and basted by relays of assistants,
under the superintendence of the head roasting-cook: A
hot time of it have those watchers and basters, but they
consider themselves conapensated by an unlimited sup-
ply of ale. After the baron is taken up and allowed
sufficient time to set and cool, then conies the operation
of paring aad trimming, so that the immense mass
of meat is sensibly dimirished in actual weight, but
materially improved in outward appearance. Placed
on a dish as large as an ordinarily-sized table,
it is then decorated after the most approved fa-
shion. The royal cypher is traced round the edges of
the dish ; the holly and misletoe apparently sprout from
the outside fat of the meat ; and his lordship is then
duly placed on the sideboard of the dining-room
in Windsor Castle, where her Majesty the Queen
and the Royal family, surrounded by an illustrious
and distinguished circle of visitors, partake of their
Christmas banquet. This evening, the baron will
be placed on the royal sideboard for the first time,

THE PRUSSIAN GUN-BOATS.

The Nix and Salamander gun-boats, sent from Prussia
to Plymouth, in exchange for the British frigate Thetis,
are to be surveyed by the officers of the Devonport dock-
yard, in order to ascertain whether they are perfectly
fitted, and whether their machinery is in good order be-
fore the exchange is completed.

THE TRANSPORT SERVICE.

The Imperatrice steam transport arrived at Spithead
from Liverpool on Saturday, and went into Portsmouth
harbour to prepare for the reception of 900 troops for the
Crimea.

Two officers and 158 men of the 19th and 38th Regi-
ments arrived at Portsmouth on Satuday evening, from
Hastings, to embark for foreign service.
The yde steam transport, Captain Henderson, has
had her boiler repaired by the engineer establishment of
Portsmouth dockyard, under the direction of Mr. Mur-
ray ; she has coaled, and hauled alongside the dock-
yard-jetty to ship troops and stores for the Crimea.
The Lady Franklin, sailing transport, has completed
loading with about 500 tons of victualling stores frow
the Royal Clarence-yard, Gosport, for the depots at
Malta. These stores 'consist of beef, pork, tea, hay,
rum, and biscuit. She sails immediately.
The next transport ship expected at Portsmouth—the
Louisa Margarita—has sustained some damage on her
passage from the Thames, and has put into Margate for
repairs.
The transport Royal Albert, taken up for the Con-
veyance 6f troops, has been ordered to Portsmouth, to
receive detachments of the 36th Regiment for Barbadoes.
The transport Euphrates has arrived at Portsmouth,
,nvey troops to New Zealand.
London, England, 1854-12-25

PRUSSIA.

The first Chamber of the States of Prussia has
adopted, by a majority of 89 to 13, a proposition
made by Count Istemplitz for the suppression of all
the articles of the constitution which guarantee to
citizens the free disposal of their property, and also
of those which abolish seignorial rights. This is,
perhaps, the most audacious blow yet aimed at the
Prussian constitution.

THE UNITED STATES.

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.
This day the Royal Mail steam-ship Africa, Cap-
tain Harrison, arrived in the Mersey with the
usual mails from the United States and British
North America.
She sailed from New York on the 13th inst., and
has brought besides the mails 70 passengers, but

(From the Daily News.)

If -Englishmen retain that love of fair-play which
used to be the boasted characteristic of the nation, the
mendacious calumnies vomited forth by the Times on
Saturday against Lord Raglan must have excited an all-
pervading sense of disgust and indignation. A grossly
exaggerated picture of mismanagement in the army of
the Crimea is wound up by the unblushing falsehood :
" No one sees or hears anything of the Commander-in-
Chief." The imperturbable sang froid of Lori Raglan
under fire at Alma excited a burst of generous admiration
from the late Marshal St. Arnaud; at Balaklava he was pre-
sent, the inspiring and directing genius of the scene ; at •
Inkerman he was in the heart of the melee ; scarcely a
letter reaches us from Sebastopol in which mention is
not made of Lord Raglan's reconnoitring expeditions.
And yet the Thersites of Printing House-square shame-
lessly affirms that he is nowhere to be seen. The Ther-
sites of old, with all his base malignity, did not raise his
shrill discordant voice to be heard within the walls of
Troy ; but our Thersites screams with the conviction
that every word he utters is heard, and eagerly dwelt
upon in St. Petersburg. How the Czar and his Minis-
ters must congratulate themselves when they hear the
English General thus calumniated in his absence by
English demagogues. They will remember the destruc-
tion brought upon Athens by similar calumnies vented
against is general: by the very refuse of the citizens.
Can it be the self-pilloried hero of the Agamemnon's
masthead at his dirty work again ? Can it be one whom
British soldiers once looked° up to with pride as the
eloquent champion of their reputation whenever it
was assailed ? Be the slanderer who he may, his
assassin-like stab at the absent, and the unpatriotic
pandering to the interests of the enemy, must expose
him to the loathing and scorn of every true-hearted
Englishman; if ever his unlucky name shall transpire.
We rn
have indeed heard of military critics at boe,
who edify their privileged coteries of gapingadmirers
. by demonstrating that Lord Rrglan possesses the qua-
lities of a General of Division, not of a Cortanander•in.

THE STRIKES IN THE NORTH.

PRESTON, SATURDAY.—Since my last despatch, depu-
tations of spinners and self-actor minders have waited
upon the heads of the firms by which they were formerly
employed. The deputations consisted of four persons
each, except in the case of the largest firm in the town,
when eight persons constituted the deputation. Almost'
every master in the town was seen personally, and at
every place the hands were received with the utmost
courtesy. As might have been expected, when it is
considered that all the employers with whom communi-
cation was held are members of the association, the
answer in most cases was that no steps could be taken
towards a settlement of the dispute without a previous
confereiice with that body. In some instances the mas-
ters declared their inability to pay an advance upon the
wunaigeens, of March
mMsaorchelast. Many condemn the operatives'
few expressed their opinion that com-
binations of either masters or men were objectionable.
The week's returns show that the number of unem-
ployed hands relieved from the Trades Union fund was
15.721 ; last weeks 15,720 • increase, 1. The amount
distributed in relief this week was 3,7051. 16s. 3d. ; list
week, 2,9441. Bs. 3d. ; increase, 7611. Bs. 3d.
A meeting of the master manufacturers of Manches-
ter was held on Thursday, to consider the propriety of

GLASGOW, JAN. 6.—The dispute between the masters
and the workmen in Glasgow city still continues, and
nine hundred young persons, male and female, indepen-
dent of adults, are consequently out of employment.
A placard has also been issued to the people of Scot-
land, by the operative spinners' committee, in the name
of the operative cotton spinners of Scotland, announcing
their determination to resist the design of the seven em-
ployers by every legitimate means, and appealing for
pecuniary assistance.
The North British' Daily Mail of Friday, says that
during the preceding three days the committee had re-
ceived, as subscriptions from the general public, on be-
half of the piecers thrown out of employment, the sum
of 36/. 18s. 10d.

FARM LETTING IN ROXI3URGHSHIRE. —The land
owners, recently so alarmed at the cessation of protec-
tion, are now beginning to reap the fruits of free-trade.
Every farm out of lease at Whitsunday next is bringing
a great increase of rent. An arable farm, let at 255. has
brought 375. 6d. per acre ; a bill farm, keeping 1,500
sheep, has brought a rise of 2501. rent ; and these may
be taken as specimens of the common course of farm
letting in this county.—North _British, Mail.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Pills, for the Cure of
Debility, Bile, and Liver and Stomach Complaints.—
This inappreciable medicine is so well known throughout
every part of the civilised world, and the cures that are
daily performed by its use aye so wonderful, that it now
stands pre-eminent above ail other remedies, more par•
-titularly for the cure of bilious and liver complaints, dis- !
Orders. of the stomach, dropsy, and debilitated constitu-
tions. In these diseases the beneficial effects of this
admirable remedy are so permanent that the whole sys-
tem is renovated, the organs of digestion strengthened, !
and a free respiration promoted ; therefore sufferers
should have recourse to it to ensure a safe and
certain cures. Sold by all vendors of medicines, and at
Professor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand.
