MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM
FOR FILLING DECAYED TEETH,
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED,
AND LOSS OF TEETH SUPPLIED.
Monsieur MALLAN Surgeon Dentist, 9, Half Moon-street. Piccadilly,
continues to restore DECAYED TEETH with his MINERAL SUC.
CEDANEUM, (of which he is the Sole IN VENTOIt and P:!SSES-
SOR), without pain, heat, or pressure, and FASTENS LOOSE TEETH,
whether arising from age, neglect, disease of the Gums, the use of
Calomel, or any other cause. He has also discovered a NEW COM-
POSI I lON for ARTIFICIAL TEETH. A peculiar advantage attending
Teeth made from this SUBSTANCE is, that they are totally imper-
vious to acids. ARTIFICIAL TEETH have hitherto been found
objectionable by INVALIDS taking MEDICINES which
habits . e havaMons. ten_
dency to DISCOLOUR them, and by persons of bilious
M has been successful in obviating these objections by his NEW DIS-
COVERY, and he can fix the above without extracting the STUMPS,
or causing ally incunabrance, and even on GUMS of the most tender
u Ito re, p•oteefing the adjoining Teeth, however loqse. No WIRES or
LIGATURES are uscd, and they tl ATCH the ORIGINAL TEETH
in point of Shape and Colour. GUARANTEED for MASTICATION

POPULAR DEMONSTRATIONs.—cc Those are ter-
rible conjunctures, when the discontents of a nation—not lightbeen
and capricious discontents, but discontents which have ._
steadily increasing during a long series of years—have attained
their full maturity. The discerning few predict the
of these conjunctures, but predict in vain. To the many/ the
evil season comes as a total eclipse of the sun at noon comes
to a people of savages. Society which, but a short time be-.
fore, was in a state of perfect repose, is on a sudden agitated
with the most fearful convulsions, and seems to be on the verge
of dissolution ; and the rulers who, till the mischief was
be-
yond the reach of all ordinary remedies, had never bestowed
approach
one thought on its existence, stand bewildered and panic-
stricken, without hope or resource, in the midst of the confu-
sion. One such conjuncture this
generation has seen. God
grant that we may never see another ! At such a conjucture it
was that Tem_ple landed on English ground,
of 1679.",—5: W. Landon in the beginning

There never was a greater mistake than the fancying a
close resemblance between his eloquence and that of De-
mosthenes ; although an excellent judge (Sir James Mac-
kintosh) fell into it, when he pronounced him " the most
Demosthenean speaker since Demosthenes."
The practice of composition seems never to have been
familiar to Mr. Fox. His speeches show this ; perhaps
his writings still more so ; because there the animation of
the momentary excitement which often carried him on in
speaking, had little or no play. Yet, when writing letters
without any effort, no one expressed himself more happily
or with more graceful facility ; and in conversation, of
which he only partook when the society was small and
intimate, he was a model of every excellence, whether
solid or gay, plain or refined—full of information, witty
and playful betimes, never ill-natured for a moment—
above all, never afraid of an argument, as so many eminent
men are wont to be ; but, on the contrary, courting dis-
cussion on all subjects, perhaps without much regard to
their relative importance ; as if reasoning were his natural
element, in which his great faculties moved the more freely.
To this may be added his playful good nature ; which par-
took, as Mr. Gibbon observed, of the simplicity of a child—
making him little fastidious and easily interested and amused.
Having premised all these qualifications, we must now
add, that Mr. Fox's eloquence was of a kind which, to
comprehend, you must have heard himself. When he got
fairly into his subject, was heartily warmed with it, he'
poured forth words and periods of fire that smote you, and
deprived you of all power to reflect and rescue yourself,
while he went on to seize the faculties of the listener, and

De-
mosthenes ; as much more so as Demosthenes would per-
haps have ben than Fox bad he lived in our times, and had
to address an English House of Commons.
In most of the external qualities of oratory Mr. Fox was
y
deficient, being of an unwieldy person, without any
grace of action, with a voice of little compass, and which,
when pressed in the vehemence of his speech, became shrill
almost to a cry or squeak ; yet all this was absolutely for-
gotten in the moment when the torrent began to pour.
Some of the under tones of his voice were peculiarly sweet,
and there was even in the shrill and piercing sounds which
certainly
rar
trsael ridiculous
he uttered when at the more exalted pitch a power that
thrilled the heart of the hearer. His pronunciation of our
language was singularly beautiful, and his use of it pure and
chaste to severity.
If from the orator we turn to the man, we shall find much
more to blame and to lament, whether his privatecharacter
be regarded or his public; but for the defects of the former
there are excuses to be offered, almost sufficient to remove
the censure, and leave the feeling of regret entire and alone.
The foolish indulgence of a father, from whom he inherited
his talents certainly, but little principle, put him, while
yet a boy, in the possession of pecuniary resources, which
cannot safely be trusted to more advanced stages of youth ;
and the dissipated habits of the times drew him, before the
age of manhood, into the whirlpool of taslitoralnEsl,7
In the comparatively correct age in which our lot is cast, it
would be almost as unjust to apply our more severe standard
to him and his associates, as it would have been for the Lud-
lows and Hutchinsons ofthe seventeenth century, in writing
a history of the Roman empire, to denounce the immora-
lities of Julius Caesar. Nor let it be forgotten, that the
noble heart and sweet disposition of this great man, passed
unscathed through an ordeal which, in almost every other
and intrigue, and faction, af-

the nature of Charles Fox as little tainted with selfishness
instance, is found to deaden all the kindly and generous
or falsehood, and his heart as little hardened, as if he bad
outlived his childish years.

GREAT POLITICAL MEETING AT
NEWTOWN, WALES.

(Abridged from the Shrewsbury Chronicle.)
Tuesday last being the day appointed for the " Demon-
stration," considerable excitement prevailed in the town,
not only among the body of working men, but some appre-
hension was entertained by the Yeomanry and their officers.
Mr. Pearce, the Delegate from Birmingham, arrived,by the
Mail, and shortly afterwards a proclamation was issued for
the inhabitants to assemble near the Baptist Chapel, thence
to proceed in procession to the " Field of Demonstration,"
Thither the body marched through the centre of the town,
the spectators and Yeomanry being very numerous.
Hustings were erected on a field over the Severn,
in the parish of Llanllwchaiarn. Mr. J. Jarman, of
Llanidloes, was called to the chair. Mr. Pearce then
addressed the meeting ; he dwelt upon the six points of the
National Petition. Mr. Pearce concluded by saying—
" That by the help of Almighty God, and the support of
the people, each and all of the propositions of the National
Petition would be carried." The resolution for adopting the
National Petition was then put and carried unanimously.
Two other resolutions were passed, OR one of which John
Oven, a workman, of Newtown, addressed the meeting.
The number of persons assembled was estimated at from
4,000 to 5,000, and the meeting was that of a well-be-
'hayed assembly ; indeed, we have heard gentlemen who
have been accustomed to , witness such meetings declare,
that they never beheld a more regular and orderly meet-
ing. After the business of the Unionists was concluded,
they separated in the most quiet and peaceable manner,
each returning to his habitation, and during the whole of
the remaining part of the day no more was visible of the

The new filtering reservoirs of the Chelsea Company
occupy a space of 45,000 square yards superficies. The filtering
bottoms consist of 12,000 cubic yards of pebble, siliceous
gravel, and shelly sand, and they have been constructed at an
expense of 57,0001. The pipes are laid eight feet below the
surface of this bottom, through which the water is filtered and
cleansed before it passes into the wells from which the mains
are supplied.

PIRACY OF PATTERNS.—For some considerable
time the trade of Norwich has been suffering severely from a
system of piracy on the part of the Scotch manufacturers,
particularly those of Paisley, to which the attention of the
public might be beneficially directed at the present time, with
a view to procure some remedy for an abuse which has long
been the cause of much serious injury to the artisans of this
city, and has at the same time acted as a curb to the ingenu-
ity which the master manufacturer might have otherwise dis-
played.—Norfolk Chronicle.
About a fortnight ago, a woman, named Martha
Grant, who resides in Quay-street, in this town, went into a
field in the neighbourhood for the purpose of drying some
clothes, and whilst engaged in spreading them upon the
ground, she had the misfortune to have her hand bitten by
some venomous reptile. The hand presently began to inflame
and swell very much ; medical aid was procured, but, not-
withstanding every care and attention, the swelling proceeded
up the arm, communicated itself to the chest, and the poor
woman now lies in a state of dreadful agony, every moment
expecting to be relieved by death from her sufferings, her re-
covery being impossible.. Cumberland Pacquet,l
