ANEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.-
Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has intro-
duced an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICAL TEETH,
fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resem-
ble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the olginal by
the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method
does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation,
and will give support and preserve teeth that are loose, and are
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr.
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
home from ten till five.

The Charter of this Bank haying been duly settled and referred
by the Privy Council to the Board of Trade, where its provisions
were found to be Sc conformity with the rules laid down by the
Coloniabonice and Treasury ; it was then referred by the Board of
Trade to the Duke of Newcastle, Secretary of State for the Colonies.
The Directors, on receiving this information had an immediate
interview with his Grace, who said there were no objections to the
Charter, but that he considered it proper to refer it to the Governors
of the respective Colonies, and which he would do by the next
mail.
As there is no objection en Use part of the Home Government,
and it being also fully admitted that there is by no means sufficient
Banking accommodation in New South Wales, Victoria, and South
Australia, the Directors have no doubt of the cempletion of the
Charter without any opposition on the part of the Colonial autho-
rities.
The Shareholders are, therefore, informed that, in order to effec-
tually carry out the objects of the Company in the Colonies, the
Directors will immediately dispatch to Melbourne, John Reed
Mackenzie, Esq., a gentleman eminently qualified in every respect
to represent the interests of the Company, during the period of ob-
taining the local acts, and to occupy the position of Bank Manager
so soon as the necessary arrangements in the Colony are completed.
By order of the Board.
