A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.
MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-

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 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 support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication ; and, that Mr. Iloward's improvement may be within
reach of the most economical, ke has fixed his charges at the lowest
scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastica-

portion of the mail was saved, as well as letters, papers, and
dispatches to the Peninsular and Oriental Company. So
sudden was the break up of the vessel, that not a bit of the
passengers' luggage, or in fact anything of consequence. has
been saved. The beach was strewed for three or
four miles with portions of the wreck, stores, trunks, &c. ;
and these were speedily seized upon by the natives and car-
ried away. Captain Bingham and some of the officers and
passengers walked to Oporto after the wreck, and obtained a
guard for the protection of any property that might be saved,
but previous to their return to the scene of disaster, almost
everything had bean plundered by the thieves who crowded
round the wreck in great numbers. What little was secured
was sold on the beach previous to Captain Bingham's leav-
ing. The Tiber was an iron ship, built by Messrs. Tod and
M.Gregor, in 1846, expressly for the Italian line. She was
a remarkably fast and very handsome boat, of 800 tons,
fitted with two engines of 280-horse power. She has only
made three voyages to Gibraltar, and in the last was coin-
manded by captain Bingham, who succeeded Captain
Russell, now in the Erin.
CAUTION TO YOUTIL—The practice of stripping
children of their clothes appears not to be confined to mere
infants. We understand that an attempt was made on
Tuesday evening, about nine o'clock, upon the son of a re-
spectable citizen, a youth about twelve years of age, by a
man, under the pretext of sending him down an inside com-
monN area-stair, o. 3, East Register-street, for the professed
purpose of delivering a letter. The boy refused to go the
errand, as he suspected the intention of the man, from
having read in the newspapers that several children had been
stripped under similar circumstances.---Caledonian Mercury.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME ClRCUlT.—Chelmsford, March 12.

• TIIE POISONINGS AT CLAVERING.—At the conclusion
Of the former trial the jury were challenged by the
Counsel for the prosecution, and it was some time before
a fresh jury could be empanelled. At a late hour the
prisoner aas again arraigned upon another indictment,
charging her with the wilful murder of James Chesham,
another of her children, by means of poison.
The same counsel were engaged in the case.
The evidence was precisely the same as on the former
trial, with the addition that it was proved there was a
:nuch larger quantity of poison is the stomach of the
deceased child than appeared in Cult of his brother.
Mr. Sergeant JONES again trigdo a most able and
forcible address to the jury, commenting upon the ab-
sence of all direct proof that the prisoner had ever been
in possession of any poison, and also calling their
attention to the fact that had been deposed to ty all the
witnesses, that the priSoner had always borne the cha-
racter of a most kind and affectionate mother, acd that
therefore it was most improbable, if not indeed impos-
sible, that she should have perpetrated such a diabolical
act, as to murder two of her children, without there ap-
pearing to be any assignable motive for it.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, said the
case was a very proper one to be fully inquired into, as it
appeared perfectly clear that there had been two most
m)sterious deaths by poison within a very short period,
and the question for the jury was, whether the evidence
made out that the prisoner was the person who adminis-
tered that poison.
The jury, after deliberating for some time, returned a
verdict of Not Guilty.
At the sitting of the Court this morning, Thomas
Newport, the person whose name was alluded to in the
former trials, and who, it appears, is a farmer, and a man
of some property at Clavering, surrendered in discharge
of his bail, and to plead to an indictment that had been
returned against him by the grand jury.
The indictment alleged that Sarah Chesham had un-
lawfully administered to Solomon Taylor, the illegitimate
child of one Lydia Taylor, a large quantity of poison, or
some other deadly ingredient unknown, and that
she did thereby kill and murder the said child, and
Thomas Newport was charged with a;ding, coun-
selling, and abetting her in the commission of the felony
and murder.

The defendant pleaded not guilty.
He was also arraigned upon an indictment for misde-
meanour arrising out of the same charge, and to this he
also pleaded not guilty.
It was then stated that an arrangement had been made
that the trial should stand over until the next assizes,
and he was liberated upon entering into a reco,2 nizance
in the sum of 4001, and finding two sureties in 2001.
each.

Sarah Chesham was then placed at the bar to take
her trial as the principal in the murder of Solomon
Taylor.
The prisoner, who appeared quite collected, and ei•
Whited almost indifference to the result during the whole
of the proceedings, was seated during the trial.
Mr. M. Chambers, Mr. Wordsworth, and Mr. T.
Chambers conducted the case for the Crown. Sergeant
C. Jones and Mr. Charnock again appeared for the
prisoner.
Mr. M. CHAMBERS, in opening the case for the prose-
cution, called upon the jury to dismiss from their minds
all that they might have heard, or that had come out on
the evidence in the inquiry regarding the two former
charges. The only object of those who conducted the
prosecution was to endeavour to ascertain the truth,
and they had no desire that any prejudice which might
be created by former proceedings should at all affect the
prisoner. He therefore requested the jury only to pay
attention to the evidence that would be produced in
support of thespecific charge against the prisoner, of hav-
ing, by means of poison, or some other deadly ingredient,
caused the death of an infant called Solomon Taylor,
and he would proceed to lay before them the evi-
dence upon which that charge rested. The Learned
Counsel then proceeded to state the nature of the evi-
dence against the prisoner, and which will be found in
the following narrative, it being more intelligible in that
form :—lt appeared that in the commencement of the
year 1845, Lydia Taylor, the mother of the deceased
infant, went into the service of Mrs. Newport, who car•
ries on the business of a farmer, at Clavering, her affairs
being managed by her son, Thomas Newport, who was
included as an accessory in the present indictment.
There appeared to be no doubt that this Thomas New-
port carried on an improper intimacy with the prisoner
Chesham, who, as has already been stated, is a married
woman, her husband being a labourer, employed by
another branch of the Newport family. Very soon after
Lydia Taylor came into the service Newport seduced
her, and she became in the family way, and the moment
the fact was discovered by her mistress she discharged
her, and she went home to her mother's house at Ma-
nuden, a village in the neighbourhood of Clavering.
Newport never appeared to deny the paternity of the
child, and for some time he gave money to the mother.
The child was born on the 16:h of December, 1845, and
was apparently a healthy infant, and the mother and
the child continued td reside at the house of the
mother of the former, at Manuden, Thomas Newport
continually, as above stated, sending money to Lydia
Taylor for her support. It seemed that while
she was in the service of Mrs. Newport, the pri-
soner, Sarah Chesham, had been in the habit
of coming to the house, but she hardly knew her, and
about a month alter the birth of the child, the mother
was somewhat surprised at the prisoner coming to her
mother's cottage to see her, and she then condoled with
her upon her situation, and made some observations con-
demnatory of the conduct of Thomas Newport towards
her, and she at the same time caressed the child, and ap-
peared to be very fond of it. The prisoner paid a second
visit to the mother, and, upon her saying that she was
surprised at it, and that she had nothing to give her, the
prisoner saidi he wanted to take nothing from her, but
she had brought her something, and gave her a rice pud-
ding, an apple tart, some tea, and other articles. Upon
this occasion the prisoner took the baby from the mother,
and said she would feed it. The mother told her it had
been fed, and did not require anything, but the prisoner
persisted in taking the child down stairs, and when
Lydia Taylor went down after her in a few moments, she
saw her in the act of wiping her fingers down her gown,
and there was ,an appearance round the child's mouth,
as though it had been fed, and it also appeared to have
been sick. The prisoner, it appeared, fed the child a
second time in this day, and immediately after she had
done so the infant's lips and face assumed the expression
as if something nauseous had been administered to it,
and the prisoner herself exclaimed, " My God, Lydia,
it has turned as callow as a rat." The mother asked
her what she had been giving the child, and she
replied," only some sugar.' The mother then observed
that the child's lips looked very slimy and white,
and it vomited, and it was with considerable diffi-
culty that she could wipe the stuff from its mouth and
face. From time to time it appeared that the child was
continually ill, and never recovered. Upon this cca-
sion, when the prisoner left, she repeated her protesta-
tions of friendship to the mother of the child, and in
vited her to her own cottage, and it appeared that she
did go there to visit her, and while she was there took the
child in her arms, and 'aid that its father would soon be
there. A man was at this time observed coming across
the fields towards the house, and the prisoner said it
was Newport, and she wanted the mother to go and
' meet him. She refused to do so, and the prisoner
snatched up the child and ran down stairs. At this
time it would appear the mother entertained some sus-
picions of the prisoner's conduct towards her child, and
she followed her immediately, and on getting down
stairs she saw her walking very fast by the side of the
field ; and she also observed her again wiping her
fingers down her dress, and the child appeared to have
been sick, and some sort of food was round its lips.
She asked the prisoner what she had given to the child,
and she replied that she had only given it a sucker, or
some sweetmeat, for it to suck. The mother took the
child away, and when she got home she observed some
spots upon the child's dress, and when it was afterwards
washed these places became holes, and it appeared as
though some corrosive substance had been throw upon
the dress to cause that effect. The child after this appeared
again to be very ill, and the same night, when the pri-
soner accompanied her part of the way home, the mother
a second time saw the prisoner put something into the
child's mouth, and observed that it was sick immediately
afterwards, and during the greater part of the following
night the child was very sick and in convulsions. In June
1846, the mother went to service, leaving her child in
the charge of her mother, at Manuden, and it seemed
that the prisoner went to the mother's house, and she
was then observed to give the child something, which ap •
peared to make it sick directly afterwards, and it never
again appeared to be healthy, but lingered en to the
27th of September, when it died. At this time it ap-
peared that there was no suspicion of the child having
come to its death unfairly, and it was buried in the usual
course ; but it appeared that when the circumstances
connected with the death of the prisoner's own children
became known, it was deemed advisable that the body of
the deceased infant should be exhumed, in order that
the stomach should undergo a medical examination.
This, it appeared, had been done, but no trace of any
poison was discovered ; and, in addition to this favour-
able circumstance for the prisoner, it seemed that there
were indications of disease which might have occasioned
the death of the infant.
The evidence was then gone into, the witness, Lydia
Taylor, being subjected to a most searching cross-exa-
mination by Sergeant Jones ; she however persisted in
the statements she made in her evidence in chief, and
they supported in all the material points the opening of
the counsel for the prosecution.
Professor Taylor was then examined ; and his evi-
dence negatived entirely the fact of any poison or cor-
rosive substance being the cause of the death of the
infant, and also that, according to his opinion,it might
be accounted for by perfectly natural causes.
Mr. CHAMBERS.
upon this evidence, said he did not
think there was sufficient to justify a conviction; and he
therefore withdrew from the prosecution.
The jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not
Guilty.
Sarah Bright, 20, was indicted for the wilful murder
of her illegitimate child, known as Grayßright.,
l David
by administering to it a quantity of laudanum, and
David Gray, 21, a labourer, was indicted for feloniously
incitin Ryland commit the murder.
Mr. and Mx. ilawkins prosecuted, and Mr.

Wordsworth defended Gray, and Mr. Charnoek, with
Mr. Rodwell, appeared for the other prisoner.
In this case the legal evidence was very slight indeed
against the prisoners. It appeared they had been keep-
ing company together, and the result was the birth of a
child in the month of November last. This child died
on the 11th January following, and the coroner's jury
returned a verdict that it -died of convulsions. From
subsequent inquiries that were made, it was thought
proper to apprehend the prisoner Bright, and she then
ad►nitted that she had given the child three or four drops
soap liniment, which she said she thought would do it
good, and when the body was opened there did not ap-
pear the slightest trace of death b,ing occasioned by poi-
son. With regard to the man, the only evidence against
uim was, that he had been keeping bianpany with an-
other young woman, and that site refused to hove any-
thing more to do with him aFter the female prisoner was
delivered of a child by him, and ❑pon this, he said, that -
he would not mind killing the child any more than a
sparrow if it was not for the law, and some other ex-
pressions of a similar character.
Mr. CRARNOCK sugg►*sted that it would be advisable
to call the surgeon as the first witness, and accordingly,
Mr. Bell, surgeon, of Chelmsford, was examined, and
his evidence tended to show that there was no proof of
the child having died from any other than natural
causes.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE upon this stopped the case,
and the jury, under his Lordship's direction, returned a
verdict of Not Guilty.

MIDLAND CIRCUI T. —Nottingham, March 11.
The commission was opened this morning in the
Shire hall, at half-past ten o'clock, by Mr. Baron Parke
and Mr. Justice Patteson, their Lordships having been
met at Lady Baybridge, and escorted into the town by
John Vere, of Carlton-upon-Trent, Esq., High Sheriff,
and- a numerous retinue of attendant►, officers, ELIA)
javelin men.
The calendar for the county contains 17 prisoners—
one for shooting with intent to do some grievous bodily
harm; one for poisoning ; one for stabbing, cutting,
wounding, and maiming; one for sheep-stealing; one for
killing and slaying; one for highway robbery; and the
others for minor offences.

In the town calendar there are also 17 prisoners—two
for forgery, one highway robbery, anti toe rest for
larcen).
Among the prisoners i❑ the town is Emmanuel White,
a well-known Chartist, who is charged with turgery.
After Mr. Justice PATTESoN had opened the commis-
sion in the Borough Court, he called attention to the
case of White in his charge to the grand jury.
There are nine causes and one special jury case on the
civil side, some of which are said to be of considerable
interest. Au indictment is about to be preferred, at the
instance of the Commissioners iu Lunacy, against a per-
son of the name of Large, lately a keeper in the Lunatic
Asylum, having been guilty of alleged gross neglect in
liis duty. Some weeks ago a person of the name of
Doubleday was removed to the asylum, after attempting
self-destruction, and committed to the care of Large, with
strict injunctions on no account to leave him, as he was
predisposed to commit suicide. Large undertook the
patient; but instead of remaining with him, he went out
of the room between eleven and twelve at night (the
very first night of. Doubleday being in the asylum), to
get his tea. He remained for a considerable length of
time boiling his kettle, making his tc a, &c. On his re-
turn he found the patient had been out of bed, torn up his
shirt, tied it round his neck, and attaching it to the bed-
post, hung himself. Ile was quite dead.
Amongst the causes to be heard in the County Court is
one which, if not settled in quick time, may let out some
of the Nottingham election secrets, as it is an action by
Mr. Flower, to recover an election bill against Sir John
Hobhouse. _ _

Tfwir Lordships attended Divine service at St. Peter's
Church, where an admirable sermon was preached by
the Rev. Roger Pocklingtun, of Walesby, Sneriffs' ch; p-
lain, and immediately afterwards proceeded to the County
Hall, and in both courts tried the prisoners in the town
calendar, Mr. Baron Parke sitting in the Nisi Prins, and
Mr. Justice Patteson in the Crown Court.

NUR HERA (Ali u 1 [.—York, March 11.
(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.)
Joshua Sharp, aged 39, a woolstapler, was pat on his
trial on neharge of forgery of a conveyance of land.
Mr. Overend (Mr. Hardy with him) stated the case
for the prosecution, and called
John Harrison, the prosecutor, a man 82 years of
age, who said—l live at Bramley. I know the prisoner.
His wife is my sister's daughter. Her maiden name was
Sarah Haste. I have land (between five and six acres)
at Bradley Hill. I never conveyed it away. I never
gave any deed respecting it to the prisoner. I cannot
write. I never put my mark to any deed for the pri-
soner. He once wanted me to put my mark to some-
thing, but I wanted some one to see it that understood
it. I. did not see what it was. I. wouldn't say nothing.
I never put a mark of nooakind nether to that nor nowt
else. I never saw it (the deeds of lease and release,
which were attached together), before last October. I
never had.any conversation with the prisoner about dis-
posing of my land at Bradley Hill. I have had it 37
years. I have never disposed of it in favour of the pri-
soner's vvife.

Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—It is
happen (perhaps) four or five weeks since 1. made my
will. Betty Galant wor (was) happen there. She is my
brother's daughter. Her husband first told me of this
deed. I have another piece of land of 1 acres, in the
same parish, with four houses upon it, in one of which I
live. 1 lent the prisoner 1001. when he married. I never
intended his wife to have that land, or any part of it.
Richard Sugden, formerly a worsted manufacturer,
examined-7 I was at the 1 risuner's ;en years ago last
June. My partner, Abraham Marsden, was there too.
George Haley was sent for. When he c kme the prisoner
asked if we would sign a parchment document (the deeds
of lease and release). It was not opened out. The pri
soner said, " It's all right; it purports to be a deed of
gift from my old uncle to his niece " (prisoner's wile), so
I then signed it (both). There was no other person
present. I also signed this (the memorial). I did not
see the seal on it. I cannot tell whether it was on or
not. After it was signed the prisoner folded it up im-
mediately, and took it up stairs, from whence he had
fetched it. I saw Haley and Marsden sign it. Haley
went away directly when he had signed. As he went
away the prisoner opened a door, and an aged man en-
tered the room in which we were. He was deaf. The
prisoner said to the old man, " It's all right, uncle." He
Said that in a loud voice, and then in a lower he said
to Marsden and me, " This is the uncle that is making
the property to my wife." The witness Harrison is not
that man.

Cross-examined—The old man did not say " Very
well " when the prisoner said " It's all right. The mat-
ter (the signing) was not mentioned to the old man.
I and Marsden nad gone to the prisoner's about business
It was done in a burry, and 1 was more occupied with
oar own business than the signing of the deed, and I had
forgot that I had done such a thing till the present
questiotnabiwaeswshtaerntetdheinolOd manctober
camelast. in I never The deedn waser wsnatit
on the
the witness Harrison till October last. I knew at the
moment he was not the old man who had come into the
room.
By the JUDGE—I have never seen that old man before
or since.
Abraham Marsden corroborated the last witness. I
did not see the mark or seal on either of the deeds
or on the memorial. I did not know the old man that
came in. I have never seen him since. Harrison is not
that man.
George Haley, a schoolmaster, the other attested wit-
ness, corroborated the other witnesses as to the signing,
and added, that the words, " Signed, sealed, and deli-
vered by the said John Harrison," were nut there when
they signed the deeds, nor the words, " Lease for a
year."
Betty Guant said the prisoner's wife showed her the
deeds in October last. The prisoner was not at home.
She read them over. I gave information to the prose-
cutor, and to the constable. After he had been examined
on this charge, before he was taken from the room, the
prisoner said it was a forged deed; it was his father
liaste's doing. He said he would do anything if they
would get Harrison to make it up. He said the same
several times over.

Cross-examined—She expected to have part of the
land.
E. Sharp—The prisoner's wife asked me to take the
deeds to him at York Castle (he was then in the prison
on some other charge). I told him an offer had been
made to induce him to give them up. He declines!, and
requested her to retain possession of them till his return
home. •
Cross-examined—No part of the attestation was in
the prisoner's handwriting. The seals of the deeds
were the seals of the late Mr. Lister, who was the pri-
soner's solicitor.
Mr. Baron ROLFE told the jury that the prisoner was
charged with having forged the deed, which gave the
estates to the prisoner himself for life ; after his death
to the prisoner's 'wife tor life, with remainder to,. the
prisoner and his heirs. He said there had been no
uttering, and the only question, therefore, was, were
they satisfied that the prisoner forged the deeds. On
this point, was the old man's testimony given in such
a manner that they could place implicit reliance on
it ? He then made some remarks on the attesting
witnesses having attested the df eds without having, oc-
cur, ing to their present account, seen it actually exe-
cuted. He said that, on his examination before the
magistrates, Sugden had sworn that the deeds were lying
folded up on the table when the old man came into the
room. He had also sworn that the old man was like
llarrison, but that he was not sure whether it was he
or not. His Lordship also told the jury, that as the
deeds had been prepared, it was highly probable that
the words " signed, sealed," &c., were put on before
they left his office ; but his Lordship did not tell the
jury, nor did Counsel remark on the absence of the
words " being first read over to him," which the at-
testation ought to have contained, as Harris
marksman, and would have contained, had the dereldswhast en"
executed in the presence of, , r the attestation dt av‘ la by,
a lawyer.
The jury retired, and after being absent some time,
returned into Court, and gave a verdict 01 Not Guilty.

At Verviers some disturbances took place on the sth,
in consequence of the announcement of the tax on
bread. Although there has been no fresh outbreak,
there is still considerable agitation.
