ANEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.--
Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has intro-
duced au entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICAL TEETH,

Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical,
he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At

SAVINGS BANKS.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave
notice that, on an early day, he should move for leave to
bring in a bill to amend the law relating to savings banks,
and also to establish regulations for making investments
in the Government securities through the medium of
savings' banks.

Mr. MILES wished to ask the Under Secretary for
the Colonies, whether in pursuance of a dispatch (No.
169) from Sir C. A. Fitzroy, dated Sydney, the 19th
day of October 1842. upon the subject of immigration,
any act has been. passed by the colonial legislature to
regulate the inducting of assisted immigrants and others
in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, and their em-
ployment in the colony for a certain time after their
arrival therein.

Mr. PEEL said such an act had been recently passed
by the Legislative Council of Sydney, but it had not yet
been received by the Colonial-office, and he, therefore,
could not state tho nature of its details.

SOUND and WHITE TEETH are not only
indispensably reauirite to a pleasing exterior in both sexes,
but they are 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 all tartar 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 discolours-
Hon, eradicates scurvy, and, in a word, soon realises the chief attri-
bute of health and beauty—a Fine Set of Pearly Teeth. Price 2s.
9d. per box.
CAUTION.—The words " Rowlands' Odonto " are on the Label, and
"A. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden," engraved on the Govern-
ment Stamp affixed on each box. Sold by them and by Chemists
and Perfumers.

THE FRENCH EMPIRE.

The Emperor, on the report of the Minister of
Justice, has decreed that the Imperial Court and
the Tribunal of First Instance of Algeria, shall
henceforth have a vacation from the Ist August to
the Ist October, instead of, as heretofore, suspend-
ing their sittings for ten consecutive days in the
mouths of June, July, August, and September.
The decree also orders that, during the vacation,
a Chamber shall sit for the dispatch of business.
In the sitting of yesterday the Corps Legislatif
had adopted all the bills on the order of thu day.
There was no discussion, and the votes were unani-
mous. After the passing of these bills M. de la
Guerroniere read the report of the committee on
the re-establishment of capital punishment for po-
litical offences. The committee recommend that
attempts to assassinate the Sovereign or to disturb
the public safety, be visited with the punishment
which the law awards to parricides.
A further decline occurred yesterday in the pub-
lic securities. The Three per Cents. for cash fell
65e., and the Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 75c.
A decline of 40e. took place in the Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. for the account, and of 15c. in the Three
per Cents. Bank of France shares fell 2f. The
closing prices were :—For money : Three per Cents.,
79f. 70c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 102 f. 50c.
For the end of the -month :—Three per Cents., 79f.
90c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 102 f. 60c. ;
Bank Stock, 2,695 f. 50c. There was but little
business transacted in the railway share market
yesterday, and the quotations showed a consider-
able decline in the principal lines. Closing prices :
—Northerns, 892 f. 75c. ; Paris and Orleans, 1,055 f. ;
Paris and Strasbourg, 910 f. ; Paris and Lyons,
925 f. 25c. ; Paris and Rouen, I,loof. 50c. ; Lyons

THE KAFIR WAR.

Mr. HINDI:EY wished to ask the Under Secretary
for the Colonic Is what the conditions upon which San-
dilli and the other hostile Kafir chiefs have obtained
peace, and if th e Government was prepared to sanction
them.

Mr. F. PEE Ed said, in February last, Gen. Cathcart
proposed certait t terms of submission to the Kafir chiefs,
but he had received no official intelligence of those terms
having been act :epted, as the mail which would bring
the answer had mot yet arrived.
Mr. HEADI ,AM wished to know if the noble lord
the member for the City of London, would postpone the
vote relating to the Kafir war, until the papers upon
the subject weret before the house, as he wished to draw
attention to the ti i.

Lord J. RUB 1! ;ELL said the papers would be printed
before the vote ci ,as proposed.

SU.RLEY SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.)

',Before Thomas Puckle, Esq., and a Bench of
Magistrates.)
ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A SOLDIER.

George Martin, 23, a private in the Scotch Fusiliers,
was indicted for stealing a sovereign and two lead pencils
from the person of William Alderton.
The prisoner's defence was paid for by two female
servants at the West-end, who were in court during the
trial, watching it with great anxiety. Mr. Charnock
and Mr. Robinson were instructed to defend him.
Frosecutor, a simple sort of a young fellow, said he
met the prisoner in a csffee-house at the Mint, on Satur-
day night the 7th inst., and had several pots of beer,
and brandy and gin with him. They afterwards went
to a barber's where they bad more gin and beer, and re-
mained there until near three o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing. When they left there they proceeded to Fisher's
coffee-house in the Blackfriars-road, and had more brandy
and soda water. Prosecutor here fell asleep, and when
he awoke up he missed tne soldier, and on examining his
pockets he found that his sovereign and two pencils were
gone. From information he received he went to the
Tower, and went before the Commanding-officer with
the prisoner, whom he gave into custody-
In cross-examination—Prosecutor said he was very
much in liquor when he was in the barber's, that lie
hardly knew what he was about. He had, however, a
faint recollection of having the sovereign when in
Fisher's coffee-house. He speke to several females, and
treated them, and the might have robbed him.
Elizabeth Breoks, a young woman who said she was
a dressmaker, assisted Mr. Fisher in his coffee-house on
Saturday night and Sunday morning. She recollected
the soldier and prosecutor coming in and being served
with brandy. The latter fell asleep, when the soldier
came to her by the fire, and said that the prosecutor had
a sovereign in his poaket, and he might as well have it
as any one. Sli told him several times to leave her.
At last he said he must be off, as he must be in
barracks before prayers. He then ran out of the house.
She did not wake up the prosecutor,
or say anything
until he told her he was robbed.
The witness so prevaricated in her evidence that it
was doubtful whether she was not the person who com-
mitted the robbery, and the jury at once refused to be-
lieve her, and acquitted the prisoner.
The atter immediately quitted the court, with the
two servants and his sergeant.
AN INCORRIGIBLE YOUNG TRlM—Henry Tingey, a
young lad who has been twice convicted, pleaded guilty
to stealing 7 lbs. of pork, from the shop of Eli Collins,
at Camberwell.
The Chairman sentenced him to three months at
Wandsworth, and to be once privately whipped.

SPAIN.

It is announced as a certain fact that Queen
Isabella is in an interesting situation ; she is said
to be enciente since last month.

A royal decree, inserted in the Madrid Gazette
of the 21st, orders that from the Ist June next,
456 articles, which in the year 1851 produced
700,000 reals, shall be exempt from customs duty.
M. Fernando Rivas, deputy of the opposition, who
was put in prison by the late Ministry for having
published an electoral manifesto, had left Madrid
for Paris and London. A letter says :—" The
Royal Council assembled yesterday, but it did not
occupy itself with the railway question. It will,
however, meet on Monday to discuss it. The sec-
tions of Justice and Public Works united, have
expressed the opinion that the concession of the
Northern line ought to be referred to the Cortes,
and that the concessions of the lines from Aranj uez
to Almansa, and from Socuellamos to Ciudad Real,
ought to be sanctioned, as the works have been
commenced. It is believed that the Royal Council
will approve of both these resolutions."

SHERIFFS COURT.--(THIS DAY)

(Before R. Gurney, Esq., Q.C.)
The cases in the list this morning were wholly devoid
of general interest, the only point arising being one in
which the defendant pleaded that he had been absolved
from a portion of the debt by passiug through the Insol-
vent Court, and paid the alleged difference into Court.
The amount of the debt was not disputed, but although
the plaintiff produced a copy of his schedule, and ten-
dered
thereupon his oatharos thatarose,
it was a true copy, and a question
who has an extensive con-
Mr. W. R. Buchanan,
nexion in the Insolvent Court, being present here in
another case, said that if the case was under the 1 and 2
Vie., the copy of the schedule must be sealed with the
seal of the Court, or there must be a certificate of adju-
dication and on extract of the schedule bearing on the

point.
His Honour said that he would grant an adjournment
for the production of the document, but it must be at
the expense of the plaintiff.
Au adjournment therefore took place.

TO LADIES.

PARR'S LIFE PILLS are especially efficacious
in all the variety of ailments incidental to the fair sex. Ladies
even of the most delicate constitutions will find them partientaily
beneficial both before and after confinement; and for general use in
Schools they cannot be too strongly recommended. They mildly and
speedily remove all skin eruptions, sallowness of complexion, nervous
irritability, sick headache, depression of spirits, irregularity, or gene-
ral derangement of the system.
The balsamic powers of this Medicine produces that delightful
feeling of good spirits so very desirable, and disposes both mind and
body to healthy exercise—everything under its influence soon wears
a joyous aspect, and the varied duties of life are performed with
pleasure. It, in addition, contains a line sedative quality ; and. in-
stead of long and weary nights, gives sound, healthy, and refreshing
sleep.
BEWARB OF Sruitious INITATIONS.—None are Genuine, unless the
words "PARK'S LIFE PILLS" are in White Letters on a Red
Ground, on the Government Stamp, pasted round each box ; also the
fac-simile of the S'gnature of the Proprietors, " T. ROBERTS and
Co., Crane•court, Fleet-street. London," on the Directions.
Sold in boxes, at Is. e%d., 2s. 9d., and faintly packets at I Is. each
by all respectable Chemists and Medicine Vendors throughout the
world. Full directions are given with each box.

AUSTRIA.

The King of Prussia has conferred on M. de
Baumgartner, the Austrian Minister of FinanCe
and Commerce, the order of the Red Eagle, first
class, as an acknowledgment of his services on the
occasion of the Austro-Prussian treaty of com-
merce.
A letter from Frankfort, 22d, says :—" The
number of emigrants this year,is very considerable.
In Hungary more than 4,000 passports have
already been given, a number of them for Cali-
fornia. The authorities make no difficulties about
granting passports, but the emigrant is obliged to
declare that he does not intend to return to
Austria."
When the Emperor of Austria presented the
generals and officers of the staff to the King of
Prussia, says a Vienna letter of the 23d, his Prus-
sian Majesty addressed them in these terms :
" His Majesty the Emperor addressed to my
officers, during his stay at Berlin, words which
were profoundly felt, and which will never be for-
gotten. lam not so proud that I could produce
the same effect here ; but I have a piece of good
news to announce to you—the words of the Em-
peror fell in a fertile soil, and I can give you the
assurance that, if we were to be forced to draw
the sword for the most precious possessions of
humanity, the fruit of the Emperor's words will be
seen manifested in acts."
A letter from Vienna of the 22d says :—" The
Carrousel, yesterday, presented the most curious
and brilliant spectacle. The Grand Imperial
Riding School was very striking, and united the
first society of Vienna. The combats commenced
by the entry of two heralds bearing the colours of
the Empire of Germany, and with the eagle with
two heads on their cloaks. Next came the stan-
dard-bearer of the Empire, preceded and followed
London, England, 1853-05-27

COURT OP COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a court was held for the dispatch of busi-
ness, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair. The
court was not numerously attended, probably in conse-
quence of the intense interest excited by the election of
Chamberlain in the Great Hall.

A report delivered in to the court on the 14th of
April last, for a further instruction with reference to the
order of the 10th of June last on the freedom question,
was considered, and eventually ordered to be received,
proceedings in reference to non-freemen to stand over in
the meantime:.

Upon the motion of Mr. R. C. LAMBE, it was ordered
that 500/. should be paid out of the City's cash to the
Wellington memorial fund.
A report from the library committee was brought up
by Mr. Lucas Houghton. It recommended an appli-
cation to the Lord Mayor for the purpose of 'requesting
his lordship to call a public meeting in aid of the pro-
ject. His lordship having expressed his readiness to do
so, the further consideration of the matter was ad-
journed.
Several other matters were disposed of, and the court
adjourned.

MAILS FOR AUSTRALIA. GENERAL POST•OFFICE,
MAT, 1853.—The line of contract packets heretofore con-
veying the mails to Australia, vui the Cape of Good
Hope, every alternate month, having been withdrawn,
provision has been made for forwarding the mails of
June by the clipper barque Stratford, the owners of
which have entered into a contract for that purpose with
the Postmaster-General. The Stratford will be dispatched
from London on the morning of the 4th of June next ;
and all letters and newspapers for South Australia, Vic-
toria, New South Wales, and Van Diemen's Land, reach-
ing London previous to her departure, and not addressed
to be sent by any other vessel, will be forwarded by the
Stratford. Postmasters will cause this arrangement to
be made known as extensively as possible; and care must
be taken that letters and newspapers to be conveyed by
the Stratford are forwarded to London and not to Ply-
mouth. The packet rates of postage will be chargeable
'upon all letters transmitted by the Stratford ; but no
charge will be made upon newspapers.
ROBBING A DEAD POPE.—We read the following in
the Bilancia of Milan, under the date of Rome 2d :
" A very painful discovery was made the other day in
the Basilica of Lateran. Those who are acquainted with
the locality will recollect that Pope Martin V. lies buried
in the nave. The body having to be removed in conse-
quence of certain architectural repairs in progress, the
coffin was opened in the presence of the Chapter. To
everybody's surprise, nothing was found but the bones
of Martin V. ; the rings, the gold and silver chalices,
the tiara, all studded with precious stones, had disap-
peared. Their 1-xtense U ttie poffia lad been verified
abolit'soYeari ago,
