The long continuance of most Maladies arising from impurities,
while it tends to render detection more certain, and thus freventl,
to embitter the domestic hearth, also serves to excite feelings of dis-
appointment, and to induce i.wness of spirits, and other sensations
of a most painful kind. The Tlll ,18E11 ‘R effectually, in the short
space of three days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of
these Diseases, to whatever stage they m.y have advanced, p ssess-
ing at the same time the manifest advantages of being utterly devoid
of taste or smell, and of all nauseating qualities. It may lie on the

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 :igatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth,
a 4 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 requ.re the ex-
traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will suppJrt and pre-
serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation
and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas-
tication.

pARR'S LIFE PILLS.

he HUMAN BOD Y, like the vegetable world, undergoes com-
plete renovation in the spring. An eminent naturalist and physio-
logist has lately put forth the novel and startling theory that once
in seven years every part de of the frame is entirely renewed,
although the process Is gradual. Be this as it may, what is certain
is, that men, like plants, in the spring rezelve increased vigour and
suh-tance.

The SPRING has always been remarked as a period when disease,
if it be lurking in the system, is sure to show itself. Thu coldness
of winter renders torpid the acrimonious fluids of the body, and in
this state of in4ctlvity their evil to the system is not perceived ; but
at the spring these are aroused, and, if not checked, mia up and cir-
culate with the blood, and thus the whole system is contaminated.
PARR'S LIFE PILLS, Judiciously taken for two or three weeks,
will rid the body of all that is noxious, and produce health and com-
fort. Persons troubled with scorbutic affections are strongly ad-
vised to try them at this time of the year ; in a few days they will
perceive tne powerful clearing and invigorating properties they
possess.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
Ta Avh!ch !s added, an ESSAY on SEXUAL DEBILITY, by the

TO LADIES.
PIRR'S LIFE PILLS are especially efficacious in all the variety
of ailments incident to the fair sex. Ladies even of the most deli-
cate constitutions will find them particularly beneficial, both before
and atter 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, tick
Ileadachs, Depression of Spirits, Irregularity, or general Derange-
Ment of the System.

• THE BALTIC FLEET.
At noon yesterday telegraphic orders were sent to Sir
Charles Napier, in the Downs, to proceed, and in the
course of half-an-hour his gallant and unsurpassable fleet
was under weigh, and were soon off towards their desti-
nation, with a good south-west breeze and very fine
weather. The fleet consists of—
Ships. Guns. Men. Horse-power.
18 1,048 10,170 7,870
It is well and truly said that such a fleet never before
in the history of the world left any port for any purpose,
hostile or peaceful. Its strength is not so much in its
numbers—not even so much in the general character of
the men who form its complement. Its strength depends
more upon its commanders, more upon its immense
armament ; but above and beyond all other respects,
upon the power of propulsion each ship contains within
herself. This is our confidence, our assurance of safety,
that all on board that fleet, from the commander-in-
chief, Sir Charles Napier, to the stout landsman in the
shape of a London cabman, or the newly-raised marine
in the shape of an able-bodied pauper from the union,
will fight to the death for the honour of his flag. The
brave crews of these ships, from the steady experienced
gunners of the coast-guard, the hardy, fearless yachts-
man, to the Irish fishing-boy, do not want to be led
to the attack of the enemy ; there will be found
more difficulty, and more judgment and more dis-
cretion will be needed, to restrain them. All they
require is direction, and there are men in this fleet
as capable of such direction as any that ever commanded
a man of war. Our confidence of a victory, even with
this small but compact fleet, although engaged against
double the number of, Russians, consists in this fact—
that the force is a steatn force, no manoeuvring is re-
quired, no shifting of niasts or sails is necessary to save
the ship from the consequence of utter helplessness, and
therefore destruction or capture. All that is requisite
is to place one screw-ship between two of the Russian
line-of-battle slips, or broadside on with one, and across
the bows of another, and British pluck will do the rest,
despite all the revolvers in the world. Let our screw
fleet only get alongside, and we feel confident that every
man in that fleet will receive a bounty from the Govern-
ment, after he has done his work, which will far exceed
any bounty that could be offered to him to enter the
service.

Many of our contemporaries have particularised the
Duke of Wellington, Princess Royal, and other ships
as the best among this screw fleet ; but the best judges
of the lines of a man of war, most properly select from
this powerful fleet three ships as the best models of the
lot, and they most justly point to the two-decker St.
Jean d'Acre, 101 guns, Imperieuse, 51 guns, and Tri-
bune, 31 guns. These are the new classes of the navy
for which the credit of designing and building are due to
Sir Baldwin Walker and his department, and doiibtless
they are the finest, most powerful, and most efficient men
of war in the world of their respective classes, and will
continue to be so until those that are now building in
the Royal yards shall eclipse them--Morning .Herald.

Captain Maude's troop of the Royal Horse Artillery
left Portobello barracks this morning at half-past 5
o'clock, and proceeded to the North-wall, where they
embarked for Liverpool, en route to Woolwich, to pre-
pare for foreign service. They were played to the place
of embarkation by the band of the 11th Hussars.
The head-quarters and band of the 27th Regiment
arrived in town on Saturday by special train from Castle-

them, and on their way to the Royal barracks they were
accompanied by several hundred persons, who cheered
them heartily. The regiment remained at the Royal
barracks until their embarkation on the same evening,
when they sailed from the North-wall in one of the Lon-

o'clock.

HER MAJESTY'S SHIP HECLA'S SURVEY.
PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.
The Hecla steam-sloop, commissioned for the special
service of coaveying a large number of surveying offi-
cers to the Baltic to make soundings for the approach
of Sir Charles Napier's fleet, returned to Spithead this
morning. She left Hull on her outward voyage on the
19th ult., and anchored in the harbour of Flekkefiord
on the 22d, and left on the 23d for Christiansand (wea-
ther very threatening and snowstorms very prevalent),
where she anchored the same evening, and Mr. Wel-
lington communicated with the British Consul ; from
Christiansand she proceeded to Christiania, and carried
a line of soundings across the harbour, thence to Frede-
ricksvarn, a small port near Laurwig, where she an-
chored on the 24th. The Commandant of that port fur-
nished a Government pilot and a set of Norwegian
charts for the whole of Christiania Fiord. She left on
the 25th for Laurvig Bay, and steamed about there,
then proceeded up Christiania Fiord, past Hosten to
Drobach, where she anchored in the evening. The an-
chorage of this place was found very bad ; she left on
the 28th, and proceeded down the Fiord of Christiania.
On the Ist inst. she sighted the lights of Wingo Sound
at midnight, hove to, and proceeded at daylight in
through Warholm, Flemish, and Hawke-roads, and in
and out of the north, middle, and south channels. She
left Wingo Sound on the 2d, made for the Skau, on the
coast of Zetland, and proceeded along Albeck Bay
and Frederickshaven. She sounded all the way,
in the evening anchored in Nyborg roads; and,
on the 3d, passed between K.alsko and Spogo,
noting the leading marks in and out ; also the
marks on the Vengeance shoal. Thence she went by the
Langland Deep S.S.W. through the Great Belt, and
anchored at Kiel the same night. She left Kiel about 8
o'clock in the evening of the 3d, and arrived off Copen-
hagen on the sth, having made Dars Point on the pre-
vious morning, and examined the locality of the Plan-
tagenet shoal, where a line-of-battle-ship sank some long
time since. She found the shoal accurately marked on
the chart, and commenced her return on the 7th, so as
to be in the Channel on the 12th (as ordered). The
Danish Government, she found, had recently issued an
order that no vessel should anchor within a certain dis-
tance of the Trekroner Battery. The Hecla found that
the Great Belt is easily navigable. Christiansand ap-
peared to be the best port for a fleet to anchor in on the
coast of Norway, Wingo Sound on the coast of Sweden,
Nyborg in the Great Belt, and Kiel Bay, on the eastern
coast of Holstein, a little to the south of Schleswig, the
most advantageous of any for a large fleet. It is a ca-
pacious and niost beautiful bay, and possesses the para-
mount advantage of communication by railway with
Hamburg, besides any amount of victualling supplies,
which are both good and cheap. Coals are also plenti-
ful, and may be had at a reasonable contract price. The
Hecla arrived in the Downs at 1 o'clock yesterday (Sun-
day) morning, and left for Spithead at 10 a.m. ; she fell
in with Sir Charles Napier's fleet, off Dover, at 1 30
p.m., in two divisions, under steam, and all plain sail.
The Admiral made signal to shorten sail, and for
the Hecla to commence supplying the weather
division with the masters and second masters
belonging to them, and two pilots (40 of whom she
had on board) to each. She commenced with the
last ship of the lee division, and did not finish trans-
shipping all the officers until 7 p.m. Sir Charles ex-
pressed to Master Commander Wellington his high
satisfaction at the opportune punctuality of falling in
with him, and the manner in which he had performed
the duty entrusted to him. After disembarking Com-
mander Scott, R.N., and Captains Fenwick, Bailey,
and Sidney Webb, of the Trinity-house, the Hecla pro-
ceeded for Spithead, where she arrived between 7 and 8
this morning. She came into harbour this afternoon,
and commenced coaling, to return to the fleet with des-
patches, and some necessaries for the Commander-in-
Chief. The Hecla met with no ice in the Baltic. Her
survey took her over 3,000 miles of sea.

Volunteers amounting to upwards of 170 men, rank
and file, from the 92d Highlanders, came from Belfast
on Friday for the purpose of joining the 42d and 79th
Higland regiments, now under orders for immediate
embarkation. These troops embark under the com-
mand of Captain Lyon, of the 92d Highlanders. Volun-
teers from various other regiments, from various dis-
tricts throughout Ireland, arrived in town by several
trains on Saturday, to join the regiments now under
orders for active service. The various barracks through-
out the city are full, and the men are in readiness to de-
part, only waiting the arrival of the vessels chartered
for their conveyance.
150 rank and file of the 49th Regiment arrived in town
on Saturday night from Birr, and were billeted in
Thomas-street and its immediate neighbourhood.
Two troops of the 2d Dragoon Guards have received
orders to proceed, under the command of Brevet
Lieutenant-Colonel Trench, from Dublin to Dundalk,
there to be stationed to relieve the 14th Dragoon Guards
on the 15th instant ; also, one troop to Belfast,
and one troop to Monaghan, which will march
on the 14th instant. A squadron of the 4th Dra-
goon Guards is to proceed from Belfast and Monaghan
to Newbridge, replacing a squadron of the 11th Hussars,
ordered to Dublin. One troop of the 4th Dragoon Guards,
from Dundalk to Kilkenny, will march on the 13th, and
arrive on the 21st inst., to relieve a troop of the 11th
Hussars, ordered to join head-quarters, Dublin, prepar-
ing for embarkation for foreign service. It is expected
that the 3d Dragoon Guards will relieve the head-quar-
ters of the 2d Dragoon Guards atDublin on the 23d inst.
On Saturday morning the contingent from the depot
of the 72d Highlanders, selected as volunteers for foreign
service, took their departure from Limerick by train for
Dublin. As already stated, the entire depot stationed
in the Castle Barracks volunteered to a man to go to the
seat of war—to be draughted into two other Highland
regiments, the 70th and 42d, both of which were short
of their complement of men. It was, however, deemed
advisable not to disband the depot, but to make a selec-
tion of volunteers out of it. Accordingly, 140 men were
selected to go; and as they proceeded through the streets
this morning they presented an appearance such as would
do credit to any regime-nt. They were played off from
the Castle Barracks up to the railway terminus by the
splendid band of the 14th Regiment, and accompanied
by large crowds of civilians. Nothing could be more
warun-hearted than the demonstration. The volunteers
cheered as they passed along the street, headed by the
veteran commander of the garrison, Major-Gen. Flem-
ing, who rode before them on horseback, waving his hat
and joining in the spirit of the scene. The party of the
72d was commanded by Capt. Orme.
On the same day 60 horses from the field battery of
artillery stationed in Limerick were transmitted by rail-
way to Dublin, en route to Woolwich.

Thomas Noon Talfourd was born at Reading in 1793.
His father was a brewer, and his mother was the daughter
of the Rev. Thomas Noon, minister of an Independent
congregation in that town. He was educated at the
grammar school of Reading, under Dr. Valpy, for whom
he invariably expressed an almost filial reverence. We
are not aware how he passed the three or four years
subsequent to his leaving school, nor whether he
was originally destined for the . profession of the
law ; but in 1813 he became the pupil of the cele-
brated special pleader, the late Mr. Chitty, with whom
he remained four years. In 1817 he began to practise
special-pleading on his own account, and he was called to
the bar by the Middle Temple in 1821. He joined the
Oxford circuit and Berkshire sessions ; and his local con-
nections, coupled with the highly favourable impression
left of his talents amongst his towns-people and school.
fellows, soon gained him opportunities of earning dis-
tinction. He was always a ready, fluent, and eloquent
speaker ; and what he wanted in severe taste, he more
than compensated by feeling, fancy, and earnestness. In
less than the usual period of probation he made his way
to the head of his circuit, and held it against all compe-
titors, though some amongst them (Mr. Justice Menlo,
for instance) were of a very formidable calibre of intel-
lect. In 1833 he applied for a silk gown, but finding his

Reading, for which he sat continuously till 1841, when
he 'temporarily retired from Parliament ; but he was
re-elected for Reading in 1846, and retained his
seat till his elevation to the bench. In his repre-
sentative capacity, he introduced two useful mea-
sures of legislation, founded upon just principles—
namely, the Custody of Infants Act, and the Copy-
right Act of 1841 ; and he made some successful
speeches, although his style was too florid for the House
of Commons. On one occasion, however, he brought in
a quotation from a favourite author with telling effect.
In the course of the debate on the national representa-
tion, on July 6, 1848, he said "he would remind the
house of some lines, in which the thoughts of Schiller
were conveyed in the words of Coleridge :
'The way of ancient ordinance, though it winds,
Is yet no devious way. Straightforward goes
The lightning's path, and straight the fearful path
Of the cannon ball. Direct it flies and rapid,
Shattering that it may reach, and shattering what it
reaches.
My son ! the road the human being travels,
That on which blessing comes and goes, doth follow
The river's course, the valley's playful windings,
Curves round the cornfield and the hill of vines,
Honouring the holy bounds of property!
And those secure, tho' late, leads to its end."'

DEAL, MARCH 12.
The squadron which left Spithead yesterday afternoon
under the command of Sir C. Napier was perceived in
the offing at 3 p.m. to-day, under steam, and all sails
furled. Shortly before 5 o'clock, the Duke of Welling.
ton, 131, with the flag of the Commander-in-Chief at
the fore, rounded the South Foreland, followed by the
rest of the division. The flag of the Commander-in-
Chief was saluted with 15 guns by the Cressy, 80,
Captain R. L. Warren, which was duly acknowledged.
The fires were banked up for the night, and the fleet
will probably sail at daylight to-morrow (Monday)
morning for the north. A vast number of people ar-
rived yesterday by the South-Eastern Railway to see
the ships anchored in the Downs.
The crew of the Cressy, 80, Captain R. L. War-
ren, were exercised on Friday and Saturday at the
great guns. A target was moored at 800 yards' dis-
tance from the ship, the shots at which were fired
with great precision.

He was made a Judge of the Common Pleas and
knighted in 1848, and he is generally admitted to have dis-
charged his judicial duties with discretion, adequate
learning, ability, and conscientiousness. But the space
which the late Mr. Justice Talfourd has filled in the public
mind, and his claims to be remembered by posterity, are
almost exclusively owing to his dramatic productions, of
which lon is pre-eminently the first. The last two acts
of this drama are full of exquisite poetry, and mani-
fest a very high order of imagination ; but it was
far from successful as an acting play, and in our opinion
it is better fitted for the closet than the stage. The same
remark may be applied to The Athenian Captive and
Glencoe. He was also the author of " Vacation Rambles,"
and o " Life of Charles Lamb ;" nor should we forget to
mention that, before his legal practice had become re-
rnuneratire, he was a voluminous contributor to perio-
dical literature, particularly to the columns of the Lon-
don Magazine, when it sparkled with the happiest efforts
of Hazlitt, Leigh Hunt, Cary, and Charles Lamb. He
also wrote occasionally for the Edinburgh Review. In
fact, his warmest sympathies at every period of life were
with literature, art, and the drama ; and it is much to be
feared that the fortune he has bequeathed to his widow
and numerous family has been materially lessened by his
liberality to struggling merit and genius in difficulties,
or to what lie, with his warm heart and trusting spirit,
was satisfied to encourage and relieve under these deno-
minations. He was emphatically a good man, as well
as a generous, high-minded, and richly gifted one ; and
he was one of those who, iu our time, have flung lustre
over his profession, and repaid with interest the rank,
dignity, influence, and reputation which it has conferred
upon him.—Morning Chronicle.

THE ARGO.—lntelligence was received at Southampton
yesterday that the screw steamer Argo, which left Ply-
mouth on the 15th of last month, with the Cape 9f Good
Hope mails, arrived at St. Vincent in 9 days 16 hours,
chiefly under canvas. She had then only consumed
75 tons of coals. She had averaged about 250 miles
a-day.

SHEERNESS, MARCH 13.
The Euryalus, 50 guns, new screw steam-ship, Capt.
George Ramsay, returned to the Note yesterday shortly
after the despatches were sent off. Her return was in
consequence of the two North Sea pilots not having
joined previous to her departure from here, and orders
being sent on board for her to proceed immediately into
the North Sea instead of proceeding to the Downs.
The pilots arrived here at 7 p.m. yesterday, and were sent
off from here at 8 30 p.m. by the Cuckoo steam-ve-sel.
The Euryalus left the None at daylight this morning,
with the Cuckoo in attendance, which will accompany
her as far as Orfordness ; she will there take out the
Trinity Queen's pilot, Mr. Joshua Taylor, and the
engineers and millwrights, who left here for the pur-
pose of completing the condensing steam apparatus with
which she is fitted, and by which 900 gallons of fresh
water can be procured daily while undr steam. The
Cuckoo will then land them at Yarmouth, and proceed
to Harwich to convey volunteers for the navy from
that place to this port.
The Monarch, 84 guns (late guard ship of ordinary at
this port), Captain John E. Erskine, slipped from her
moorings at 11 a.m. this day, assisted by the steam-
vessels Wildfire and African, and proceeded to the Nore.
On passing the 'Waterloo, 121, flag-ship, her rigging
'was manned by the blue jackets, every ratline being
occupied, and three hearty English cheers were given
by them. This was immediately responded to by the
crew of the Monarch. The Monarch proceeded to the
Nore, and anchored. On the steam-vessel leaving her
she saluted the Admiral's flag, which was returned by
the Waterloo. The Monarch's crew will be paid their
advance to-morrow, and inspected, immediately after
which she leaves for the North Sea. Her North Sea
pilots will be here to-morrow, ready to proceed to sea
with her after inspection.

The follo., petition from bankers and merchant*
of the city of )ndon has been addressed to the House
of Lords against the proposed transfer of testamentary
jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery, and in favour of
the establishment of an independent court, to be called
"The Queen's Court of Probate" :
" The humble petition of the undersigned bankers, aver.
chants, and others,Showeth,—Tlat your petitioners view with consider..
able anxiety and alarm the proposed transfer of the whol*
of the testamentary jurisdiction of the existing Courts of
Probate to the High Court of Chancery, by the bill now
before Parliament.

" That your petitioners, both in their individual caps,
cities and as connected with public institutions in this
metropolis, bear testimony to the satisfactory manner in
which the business of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury
is conducted, which has hitherto combined reasonable
despatch with great accuracy, and with due security to the
public interest ; and they therefore deprecate the proposed
transfer of jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery, which
they consider would be prejudicial to the interests of the
public.
" That, from the present state of feeling in this country,
they are of opinion that it would be desirable there should
ba a Queen's Court of Probate, with full powers, indepen-
dent of the Court of Chancery, to conduct the testamentary
business of the country, under such rules and regulations
a Parliament should in its wisdom think proper to ordain;
and that such a court is calculated to give more satisfac-
tion to the public than the proposed measure, and they
they therefore pray your lordships to adopt the same.
