A 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 ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth,
as not to he 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 require the ex-
traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will suppart and pre-
serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation
and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas-
tication.

-52, FLEET-STREET.—At homo from Ten till Five.

INDIA AND CHINA,

On Saturday last we published a telegraphic
despatch from Trieste in anticipation of the over-
land mail. We have now received our parcels by
the Marseilles route.

. From Burmali we learn:that matters were im-
proving in that quarter.. The Governor-Gencral
was still expected.-at Rangoon.
A bi-monthly communication is to be established
forthwith between Rangoon' and Calcutta by the
steamers Tenasserim, Sesostris, and Fire Queen.
A force marched on the 9th of Noveinber from
Peshawur towards the Kohat Pass to coerce the
Afredees to allow us to build a fort. The force
consisted of a light field battery, two companies of
Sappers and Miners, her Majesty's 22d Regiment,
20th Native Infantry, 66th Ghoorkas, and the 7th
Irregular Cavalry. Lieutenant-Colonel Cotton (22d
.Queen's) was to command it.
The Shah of Persia is reported to have left Tehe-
ran with 30,000 cavalry and 1,000 pieces of cannon,
and 3,000 camels loaded with ammunition, to ope-
rate against Turkey in concert with Russia.
The Governor-General was still at Calcutta, and
Sir William Gomm was at Delhi on the 18th of
November.

The following summary is extracted from the
Bombay Times of Nov. 28 :
During the past fortnight matters have remained
in statu quo at Burmah. Our advices are up to
the
.22d ult., and contain nothing regarding the.
affairs of that country with which our readers are
not already acquainted. The Governor-General
has announced the intention of Government to
maintain henceforth a regular bi-monthly steam
communication between Rangoon and Calcutta,
and of course the seaports en route. The vessels
to be employed are the Tenasserim, the Fire Queen,
and the Sesostris, and the communication is to be
maintained throughout all seasons of the year.
The establishment of a regular communication be-
tween Calcutta and the Eastern shores of the Bay
of Bengal cannot fail to be highly beneficial in a
commercial point of view.
From our north-west frontier we learn that a
force, consisting of a light field battery, two com-
panies of Sappers, her Majesty's 22d Regiment, the
20th Native Infantry, the 66th Ghoorkas, and the
7th Irregular Cavalry, the whole under the com-
mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Cotton, of her Ma-.
jesty's 22d Foot, marched from Peshawur on the
oth inst. towards the Kohat pass, in order to try
what effect the demonstration will have on the
Afredees, in inducing them to permit us to build a
fort near Muttunnee. The brigade is to be so dis-
posed that it will blockade the pass while the fort
is building, the site for which has been selected at
Bazeed KILT, a locality six miles to the southward
of, or nearer to, the mouth of the pass than Mut-
tunnee. It is expected that some skirmishing will
take place, in which case the Afredees will learn a
lesson in thei most effectual manner an Afredee can
be taught. Nothing whatever has transpired rela-
tive to the causes which led to Colonel Mackeson's
murder, nor, judging from the aspect of affairs, do
we expect the matter to be cleared up at present.
It is said that the Shah of Persia has left Tehe-
ran with his army, numbering 30,000 cavalry and
1,000 pieces of cannon, together with 3,000 camel-
loads of ammunition. The destination of this
force is not known ' - some say it is intended to
operate against the Russians, while others allege
that the Shah is a tool in the hands of Russia.
Great anxiety regarding this movement had been
felt in Persia, and by the latest accounts the Royal
army was seen passing Tabriz. Some fears were
also entertained for the safety of His Majesty's
person. The Shah has despatched an envoy to
Cabul on a mission to Dost Mahomed, prefaced, it
is said, by a declaration, pointing out the benefits
which will accrue to both parties from friendship
and unity. No doubts are entertained but that
this mission has reference to the course to be pur-
sued by the Dost in the event of war between Rus-
sia and Turkey. We mentioned in a former sum-
mary that a Russian army had marched en route
to Khiva. We now hear of its arrival at that
place, having first stormed the fortress of Ahmetzee.
The affairs of Bahawulpoor are represented as
getting from bad to worse, the Khan not only de-
clining to liberate the Minister Shah Newaz-ood-
i
Newaz-ood-
deen, as recommended by our Government, but

fanatic, than lie publicly expressed, it is said, his
satisfaction, and proceeded to enlist a number of
Pathaus into his service,lbecause he looks uponthem
as our enemies. No doubt our Government is
kept well informed by its agent of the Khan's dis-
graceful conduct, both private and public, and
that eventually it will interpose ; but at present
the release of Shah Newaz-ood-deen ought to be
insisted on as, not being in the service of Baha-
wulpoor, he should receive the protection of his
immediate Government. The Governor-General
is still at Calcutta, but it is expected ho will
shortly visit Pegu. His servants have al-
ready preceded him. His Lordship's movements,
however, cannot be determined with anything like
precision just now, as they entirely depend on
the nature of the intelligence which the next Eng-
lish mail will bring. Should there be war, his
lordship will, of course, remain at Calcutta. His
Excellency Sir W. Gomm was at Delhi on the 18th
inst., but has proceeded towards Meerut. The only
other item of intelligence we have to record is the
appointment of Viscount Melville, K.C.8., to
command the Sirhind division, in the room of the
late General Godwin, C.B.
We learn that serious discontent has been en-
gendered among the men of the Nizam's contingent
at Hyderabad owing to the means resorted to to
reduce its numerical strength by transferring those
whose services are no longer required to Pegu.
It is questionable if such a transfer can be legally.
I made, the men having enlisted for the Nizam's ser-
vice only, and he having nothing to do with Bur-
mah. A court is now sitting at Hyderabad, pre-
sided over by Brigadier Mayne, inquiring into the
conduct of the Rajah of Dewalgaum, who was taken
prisoner after the recent affair near Aurungabad,
but it is surmised that the Rajah will escape scot
free, as no more can be proved against him than
that he was in the hands of the Arabs, a prisoner.
It is stated that Brigadier Mayne has recommended
that the three Arabs who were taken prisoners in
the affair above alluded to should be hanged, but
that the authorities conceive imprisonment for
three years an adequate punishment.
It is our painful duty to announce that some-
thing very like a famine pi evails in all the northern
districts of the Madras presidency, owing to the
want of rain, the monsoon having confined itself
entirely to the southern coast. It is stated that
the export of grain from the northern ports had
almost entirely ceased. In Cuddapah rice had
risen more than 100 percent., and in many places
stringent ameliorative measures are enforced by
the collectors. If the authorities in these parts do
not introduce the importation of grain into the dis-
tricts hundreds must die of starvation.

Lord Falkland is expected to return to Bombay
during the commencement of next month, and
He will return from the hills by way of Poonah to

We have just now among us the Rajah of Dhar,
who has been lionizing it through Bombay for the
past 10 or 12 days, visiting most of our public in-
stitutions.

We are happy to add that cholera in'l3onilAy. is

The money market is quiet, and trade, isi not
very brisk.

Turkey Red Cambrics, 28 yards, are saleable at Rs.
6.7 to 6-8. The stock in first hand has been somewhat
reduced. 24 yards rather dull.
Turkey Red Twills are not much inquired after.
Turkey Red Dimity in fair request, and stock in hand
small.

Black and White Cambrics or Prints saleable at Rs.
31 to 31.

Turkey Red Yarn—Nos. 30 to 60 is steady and sale.
able, at Its. 1-4 to 1-8.

Orange twist is dull and without, much inquiry.
Meth.is remain steady at the former rates.
Cochineal is without change at Rs, 2-2 to Rs. 2-3,
Saffron fetcher Rs. 14 forth© best quality.
Cotton—Most of the transactions that have lately
transpired have been for the most part confined to ship-
ments by natives. Previous to the
sarrival of the last
English and China mails a decline took place to Rs. 90
for Broach, and Rs. 83 for Dhollera, but since the ar-
rival of last advices sellers demand Rs. 3 more.

Linseed is held at Its. 3-12 per cwt.
Freights—In consequence of the few arrivals which
had taken place during the first part of the fortnight
freights advanced to 3/. 2s. 6d. to 3/. fis. per ton to
Liverpool and London, and Its. 16 to 17 per candy to
China ; but several vessels arrived yesterday evening,
which will, probably, have the effect of causing a de-
cline.

Exchange on England considerably fluctuated after
the arrival of the mail from China. Baring Brothers'
credits at six months' sight were refused at 2s. lid. per
rupee, but owing to a rather extensive sale of goods they
have been sold as low as 2s. 15-16 d. ; the rate of the day
may be quoted at 2s. ld. for these, and at 2s. 1 3-16 d.
to 2s. lid. for bills secured by shipping documents. On
China, at 60 days' sight, Rs. 237 per 100 dollars. On
Calcutta, at 30 days' sight, Rs. 99i per cent.
