A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.

MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP-
TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or

ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they wi'l
never change col ur or Cecay, 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 support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within
reach of the most economieal, he has fixed his charges at the lowest
scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Five.

TO THY LADLES.

This lady had the following letter 'needed in the " Times'iftnetnwts;
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the lierbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than
I ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an 1l s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure et nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it is tar
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact.-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few
drops ea the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
,revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
-=sdonr removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
a the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every clnarter of an

F.R.S.E.. Corresponding Member of the Academie Royale de Mede-

This Lecture is particularly addressed to those interested in the
exciting events new going on in South-Eastern Africa, in the Kanlr
War, in the great question of race, and the probable extinction of the
Aboriginal races, the progress of the Anglo-African Empire, acid the
all-important questions of Christian mission, and human civilization
in that quarter of the globe. In iliastration of the Lecture, Dr.
Knox wilt introduce to the notice of the physiologist and man of
science Five Bosjiemans, or Bush people—two males, two females
and infant, the only specimens of this singular race of human beings
that ever visited Europe.

TUESDAY, the 18th instant.

SOUTH AFRICAN ABORIGINES—TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN,
and A BABY, of the BOSJIEMAN or BUSH TRIBE, from the
interior of South Africa, a race that, from their wild habits, could
never before be induced to visit a place of civilization. This oppor-
tunity of gratifying the man of science and the student in zoology
has only been obtained by great personal exertion on the part of the
gentlemen who have brought them to England, at an immense outlay
of capital. On the passage to Europe a baby was born at sea, thus
adding to the great interest that must be excited by their appearance.
(From Moffatt, the Missionary's Work on Southern Africa, page 53.)
" Poor Bushman 1 Thy hand has been against every one, and
every one's hand against thee. For generations past they have been
hunted like partridges in the mountains. Deprived of what nature
had made their em n, they became desperate, wild, fierce, and indo-
mitable in their habits. Hunger compels them to feed upon every-
thing edible. Ixias, wild garlic, mysembry antharnams, the core of
aloes, gum of acarias, and other plants and berries, some of which
are extremely unwholesome, constitute their fruits; whilst almost
every kind of living creature is eagerly devoured, lizards, locusts,
and grasshoppers not excepted. The poisonous as well as innoxious
serpents they roast and eat. They carefully extract their bags or
reservoirs of poison, with which they cover the points of their
arrows."

From Times
We might in vain searchtip!
the annals.)
of the it ost corrected
aristocracies for a more revolting outrage on public opinion
and common humanity than the present conduct of the Irish
party in the House of Lords. Never was there a more awful
calamity; never were the sores of a nation so exposed, and
the previous neglects of ha rulers so demonstrated; never
was a crisis met by a. people at large with such lavish gene-
rosity, and at so great a sacrifice ; and yet, in the midst of
all these apal ing events and touching circumstances, never
did the class immediately to blame exhibit itself so utterly
impenitent, shameless, and hardenedin selfishness and wrong.
England itself bleeds at every pore that it may stanch the
the wounds of Ireland. At it word front 'the Minister, it
surrenders thrift, and resigns,prosperity ; it retraces the dark
path of debt, and girds itself for the hardships of economy
and the drudgery of repayment. After being amused for
years with dreams of this or that tax reduced or abo-
lished, at once a whole people, forgetting both hope and
complaint, resigns itself to a hide-bound commerce, to
straitened and precarious employment, and to a daily
increasing want of the comforts and necessaries of
life. The working population of this country is dividing its
last loaf with Ireland. Meanwhile the faction of landlords is
wholly occupied in plotting, in canvassing, in seducing, in
corrupting the younger, the less wise, . or the less respectable
of the hereditary Legislature, in order to fight its battle inch
by inch against the obligations of htmsanity. Such are the
splendid lights, and such the black shade of the picture.
Owing to peculiar circumstances to which these proceedings
cannot fail to draw the attention of the country, a mere
handful of men are able to offer a serious obstruction to the
measures demanded alike by.the desperate necessity of Ire-
land and the unanimous, etstiment of this country. In a
House consisting of about 440 Peers, a most miscellaneous
body of 73, some of whom are new to legislation, others un-
known to fame, and others unfortunately known too well, are
able to speak not only for the whole house of which they
constitute so miserable a fraction, but, thus far, for all three
branches of the Legislature. It seriously concerns all
that portion of the House which chooses to put it-
self in abeyance at this crisis, that they do not give
a new demonstration of their uselessness to a people
and an age already sufficiently zealous of prescriptive pri-
vilege and authority. Power that is not exercised is not
long retained, and effete senates are seldom renewed. The
credit of the Upper House has been too frequently and too
recently shaken to be carelessly tampered with. The great
territorial potentates of England, willingly or unwillingly,
observe in this island the laws of humanity, and are accord-
ingly honoured and loved. Why should they be involved in
the Irish quarrel with the whole human race? Why should
the House of Lords be absorbed in the Irish party, and seem
to stand out, with regard to that island, tor an immunity
which they consider disgraceful and criminal in this? A
vast part of the English population must soon be in that un-
happy state which always has and always will express itself
in political discontent. Dearth of food and want of employ-
ment broke up the old Tory party, carried the Reform 13111,
and the other changes in its train, and still more recently
originated the League against the corn laws. While we
write there are already near fifty thousand men, women, and
children out of work in Lancashire, and living on their
means. The dearth, which still increases, and to which no
living man with sense enough to be worth a moment's atten-
tion will dare to prophecy a limit, besides its immediate
effect on the store of the labourer and the artisan, reduces
the demand for manufactures, and must eventually shut np
the mills. Starving millions will then ask why food is dear,
why taxation continues to press so heavily on the comforts
and the commerce of the country, why their larders are
empty, and why their mills are closed. It will be answered
that England is still forced to send annual millions to Ire-
land, to maintain those whom the local proprietors will not
maintain ; that when the whole people and two branches
of the Legislature were anxious to make property
do its duty, and a moderately effective measure
was passed by the Commons, the Lords, by compliance, or no
less shameful default, allowed a few Irish landowners, who
did not disguise their utter hostility to the Bill, to damage,
to mutilate, and entangle it till it became absolutely inope-
rative; that, as the Bill now stands, the rates cannot be col-
lected, the poor are driven into towns, where they accumu-
late into such hideous and gigantic masses as to exhaust the
local resources, and fall back on the national charity; that,
in effect, the working men of this country must continue to
maintain all the poverty of Ireland, and for all their lives
and the lives of their children there is no other prospect.
Thus the Irish proprietors and thus the House of Lords have
decreed it; and that decree cannot be changed. What sort of
answer will this be to a starving population? It may be as
well to recapitulate the successive steps of mutilation de-
vised by the landowners. The first was to reduce all the
clauses relating to the relief of the ablebodied poor from a
permanent to a temporary measure of very brief duration.
The second was to confine the whole of the rating to the nar-
row limits of the electoral division, and thus to enable land-
owners commanding such divisions to drive out all their
poor of all descriptions into towns, the rates of which
being insufficient for their maintenance, they must
speedily perish or become a burden on the British public.
The value of this alteration, in the landlord's eyes, will ap-
pear from the fact that the 150,000 poor creatures recently
cast upon Liverpool had all been immediately before ejected
by the landlords, and driven upon the towns, which, in their
turn, passed on to our shores the current of misery. The
third step is that which is to be moved, and doubtless carried,
by Lord Stanley this evening. Its object is to secure for the
landowner a perfect immunity from rating, and leave that
disagreeable burden to a class which,in Ireland, is notoriously
neither willing nor able to endure it. It will prevent a poor-
rate from offering any interruption to the old order of things
so painfully familiar to all who know anything of Ireland.
The wretched cotters will still bid for land ; the landlord will
still get extravagant rents ; the tenants will pay their rent
with tolerable punctuality, in order to keep their land,—but
they will refuse to pay their rate, even if their exorbitant
rents should leave it iu their power; if the rate is enforced,
they will combine and offer a successful resistance. The rate
will not be collected. The poor will be left to perish. The
British public will have to pay, and the landlord, as usual,
escape scot free. Such is the game. Lord Stanley. who
has never omitted any Opportunity of parading his contempt
for the great industrial interests of this country, and his de-
sire to increase their burdens beyond their utmost powers
of endurance, is very properly selected for a motion which
has the inevitable consequence of transferring the whole
poor-rate of Ireland from the Irish landlord, and the Irish
tenant also, to the industrious taxpayer of this country. It
is mere waste of words to address
an appeal to the national
pride of men who are at this moment wilfully leaving the
peasantry born on their estates to perish in masses, and
whose thought at such a calamity is how they may secure
its continual recurrence. But we do appeal to the House of
Lords—we do appeal with confidence to the present House
of Commons, and still more to the constituency, which will
soon have to elect its successor. The honour of England, the
glory of the British name, is deeply compromised by what is
now passing. Ireland, the sister of England, her ancient
conquest, and still too much her dependent, is now begging
and receiving the alms of the whole earth. No distance,
no difference of race or religion, prevents the intrusion
of her claims, and, it is fair to add, their ready
admission. But can we feel unmixed satisfaction in
hearing that our rivals and our calumniators, in whose
mouths Ireland has ever been the worst opprobrium
their jealousy, their malice, or their ignorance could suggest,
are now bestowing their charity on our unfortunate fellow-
subjects? From all parts of the United States have come
subscriptions mixed with a sympathy neither flattering nor
safe to this nation. At Constantinople there has been a sub-
scription, to which the Sultan has largely contributed. The
Pope has ordered prayers and collections for Ireland in all
the churches acknowledging his authority. From the East
and ',Pest Indies we can better receive such expressions of
interest; but we cannot honestly profess unqualified plea-
sure at hearing that Marseilles had subscribed more for Ire-
land than fur the sufferers by the inundations in France.
Now, there is not the smallest occasion for these world-wide
appeals. Ireland is as well able to help herself as France or
any other country. Nay, there are parts of France and
Belgium probably still poorer. The only difficulty arises
from the inhumanity of the landowners. The whole earth
is doing duty for them. Meanwhile, however, England—
that England which is paying 10,000,000/. for the relief of
Ireland, figures nevertheless before the whole earth, partly as
a tyrant, and partly as a beggar. Simple foreigners conclude
they are supplying our omission. So, however, it must con-
tinue to be. As long as we weakly suffer the Irish proprie-
tors to be inhuman, we must share the odium of their inhu-
manity. It is the usual fate of weakness to be mistaken for
the wickedness it permits.

THE IRISH POOR-LAW.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—l think it my duty, at this critical moment, as
an Irish landed proprietor, to return you my thanks for
your able advocacy of the Irish Poor law Bill, and the
view you take of the condition of my wretched country.
I do so now, as it appears that a majority in the Lords
(about one half of whom are Irish landed proprietors)
are bent on defeating that most beneficial absentee-tax,
for it is that, and nothing else, the only absentee-tax we
can obtain, and an absentee tax of the best kind.
Twenty two years ago I introduced into Parliament a
Bill for the relief of the destitute poor of Ireland, and
years I have possessed a tolerable pro-
for twenty-six
erty in that country, and have ever supported my
compelling all land
tenants. I can, therefore, safely p
and ositively assert,
from my own experience, that by
lords to attend to their property and visit their estates,
not leaving them, as at present, to interested agents,
and more interested and unprincipled bailiffs, you can

SEEING is BELIEVING.—Do you see that gent,
what a fright he looks ? e bas got a thirty-shilling wig on,
you might swear to it a mile off.
If you want a real head of
hair, go to Ross's, who have. just fitted up a splendid glass
case to exhibit their Perukes, containing thirty different
styles of wearing the hair, thus enabling every one to choose
what is most becoming or most fashionable at once. Like-
wise their ladies show room, containing an immense assort-
ment of beautiful head-dresses, fronts, plaits. &e., unequalled
either in Paris or London. Address Ross and Sons, 119 and

A BEE ALIVE EMBEDDED IN TURP.—On Tues-
day last, as the daughter of Mr. James Smith, North-road,
Preston, was breaking a turf, she discovered a large bee
embedded in a small cell not larger than the animal itself.
The bee was alive, but did not attempt to take wing, though
it commenced humming; but the girl, being afraid, unfor-
tunately killed it,
