A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.

MR. HoWlßls,§tirgeonlentisi, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP-
TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or
igatures. They so perfectly reaemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will
never change col ur or Cecay, and will be tound 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 economleal, he has fixed his charges at the lowest
scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and usefql in mastica-
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Five.

AQUATICS.

HAMMERSMITH SUBSCRIPTION REGATTA.

This event came off yesterday evening, and, consider-
ing the many attractions which had been provided for
the amusement of the million at this holiday season, was
most numerously attended. Nine scullers, the greater
part of whom were fine powerful fellows, daily employed
upon various descriptions of craft upon the river Thames,
contended, in four heats, for a purse of sovereigns, given
by the nobility and gentry of the vicinity, and the races
throughout were of the most spirited description.

SURREY.

The Opera company commenced their engagement
here for the season last evening. The opera was La
Sonnambula, with the following cast :
Rodolpho, Mr. Leffler.
Elvino, Mr. IV. Harrison.
Amina, Miss Rainforth.
Lisa, Miss R. Isaacs.
The orchestra, which was under the able direction
of Mr. Tully, was fUll and complete, and did full
justice to the exquisite music of Bellini. The El-
vino of Mr. Harrison, and the Rodolpho of Mr.
Leffler, are well known to all play-goers.
Both gentlemen were in admirable voice and
exerted themselves to the utmost. The Amine
of bliss Rainforth was very tasteful.
acted beautifully, and gave the music with
great feeling and pathos. The finale was splen-
didly rendered. We never have given Miss Rainforth
credit for the possession of the power which she ex-
hibited in this far-famed scene. It is but justice to
Miss Isaacs to say that her Lisa is the best on the
stage. She made quite a part of it; and her exer-
tions were not thrown away ; they were duly ap-
preciated by the audience, and were much and de-
servedly applauded. This young lady is rapidly
rising in her professional career. She now makes
much of little parts—the time is not far distant
when she will be equally great in great parts.
She has a splendid career before her, and we shall
watch her progress with interest. The entertain-
ments concluded with a new nautical melodrama from
the practised pen of Mr. Fitzball, which was emi-
nently and deservedly successful. It is fell of in-
teresting situations and startling effects, and is illus-
trated by beautiful scenery. It is entitled Ihe Wreck
and the Reef The house was crowded to suffocation
long before the commencement of the opera.

The distance was from buoys off the Red Lion, up
round a boat moored off Hammersmith-terrace, down
round a buoy off the Queen's (Brandenburg) House, and
back to the place of starting.
They all got away at the same moment, and after a
few strokes. Yellow took the lead, and maintained it
throughout, winning by two or three lengths. Blue was
second in the start, and held it round thelower boat, but
lost it in winding the upper buoy.

Blue dashed off with the lead with Red, being the

them off, and with difficulty maintained it, his opponent-,
both working hard to win.

THIRD HEAT.

Yellow took the lead and kept it down and up to the
upper buoy, when be and Red fouled, and Blue rowed

FREIGHTS.

Several arrivals of vessels having taken place in the
early part of the month, the rates of freight to Great
Britain declined at once from 61. 15v. to 71. to 61. to
61.5 s. per ton, at which engagements were made to some
extent, and some small shipping orders have relet even
at 51. 17s. 6d. per ton to Liverpool. As we have, how-
ever, been some days now without arrivals, the rate has
again got up to 61.. ss. for that port, and tonnage cannot
be had under. The rate to China is down to 18rs. at
19rs. per candy.

EXPORTS.

Cotton Wool—We have a quiet market, and prices
of the new staple, arrivals of which have been very free
lately, are lower than at the date of the last report. A
greater reduction would, no doubt, have taken place,
particulaaly in the prices of Broach and Surat, if a great
portion of the supplies that have come forward of these
descriptions had not been r' quire(' for the fulfilment of
contracts male some time ago, but we may look for it as
soon as stocks begin to accumulate, for the tendency of
the market is undoubtedly to a further decline. At pre-
sent there is but little disposable cotton on the spot, of
the new; but a good quantity still remains of the old.
The Broach and Dbollera are both inferior in quality
this season compared with the previous year's growth,
but, on the other hand, in Oomrawutty there is an im-
provement. Prices may be quoted as follow:
Beoaeh and Surat, New, 96rs„ old, 68rs. to 72rs. per cdy,
Dhollera Ditto, 82rs. to 87rs., old, 60rs.

I)itto,B6rs.

Oornrawutty
Compta, old, 65rs.
Sheep's wool—ln this article there is very little
doing, owing chiefly to the continued high rates of
freight. Prices remain unaltered, being as follow :
Khorassan, 108 rs. to 11Ors. per candy, of 5881 b.
Mekran, BOrs. f t f f
Marwar, 90rs. to 10Ors. ft
Cutch, 10Ors. to 11Ors. f

Linseed—Very little doing. The price has declined
4rs. per cwt.
Rapeseed—None at market.
Opium—The accounts received from China not being
of an encouraging nature for this drug. there is at pre-
sent little demand for Malwa, the price of which has
fallen to i,o7srs. per chest. Very little good in the
market.

THE DISTILLERIES.

The reduction of the duty on rum, consumed in Ire-
land, has put a stop to distillation at a much earlier pe-
riod this year than us :al. Trie North Mall .Distillery
will discontiue distillation for the season after this
week, and will be quickly followed by that of John-'
street. All the Cotk dis.illeries will then have ceased

working at an minimally early period of the year. The

discontinuation of those distilleries will throw a con-
siderable number of poor men, all labourers, out of em-
ployment.' It will be bad tr:o fur the dairy farmers re-
siding near Cork, who were enabled to supply their
cattle with grains and wash during the dearth of fodder
this spring. It appears that the heavy stocks of whisky
in the hands of the retailers, purchased some months
since, when that article was expected to reach half a
guinea Ver gaThn, and not yet disposed of, have tended
ro cheek the demand at the distilleries; and rum behlg
now sold at little more than the price of whisky. has
also contributed to cause a stagnation in the trade,whicb
it is not likely to recover for some consideri,bl. time.

MAny apprehend
that it hill be long before retailers get
rid of their- stocks, the dram drinkers being more likely
to give a preference_to rum than- their native whisky.

IRISH LANDLORDISM. •

The Kz7lienny j6urnul of this day stab's, on the
authority of a correspondent, that the bailiffs of the
Right Hon. W. F. Tighe were out on Tuesday, for the
purpose of distraining tor.tent.. They commenced, it is
said, at the side of Brandon Hill, determined to sweep
the entireßber property before them; hut. happily, some
of the tenants hold land front the excellent LordMount-
gtrre% and having had some presentiment of "Bob's
visit," they dritVe. the cattle for seen-4y, into the pro-
perty of thi;i.nobleman.
The same Correspondent speaks in high terms of
piaiFe of the conduct of Lords Mountgarret and Clirden;
the latter, who is a nqh,?vv of Lord Morpett, has given
employment to a great number of men for the last three
years—distributed food. and clothes before—treated his
tenants.with, the greatest indulgence, in this season of
rimirie and of death, and no man under him need fear
for his cosy'.

The Cork Examiner of yesterds,y says; the Patent
Saw Mills at King street, the large:st,estabiishn►ent of
the kind wo bAievein the laud, haye been at lull :work,
with from 16 to 20 pair of sacs going at the same time
from mornine: to night. for the last six or eight months,

establishment were planks and scantlings for the
furniture of berthing in emigrant vessels, and for the
erection of fever sheds in all parts o' the country.

NOW EXHIBITING, AT THE

FGYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY,
the most EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION of .A.BORI-
-1 ES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, lauded in Liverpool by the
brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler.
TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSJESMAN
or BUSH T:rIBE, 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 opportunity 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 the Liverpool Journal : —"Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from
Southern Africa—Interesting specimens of a most extraordinary race
been landed in our port; they are the Bosjes-
mans, or Bush People from the interior of South Africa, of which so
mach has been written by the missionaries, and the few who have
travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country
ber,ler ng the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1.400 miles from Cape
Town. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intelle -tual or
higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of
aninanity, the Baboon, while the preponderance of the animal is al-
most equally as great. In every respect they are calculated to excite

WOOL.

- -
During last week the imports of Wool into London
were extensive, viz., 100 bales from the Cape, 220► ditto
flow Monte Video ; 90 ditto from Hamburgh ; 499
ditto from Port Beaufort ; 2,400 ditto from Sydney
2,600 ditto from Launceston ; 1,500 ditto from Hobart
Town ; and 500 ditto from various quarters. In the
private contract market very few transactions have
taken place in any description, and prices are with diffi-
culty supported.

TALLOW.
The market is rather higher for Tallow on the spots
and even for forward delivery the market is firm, as .
imports are likely tD be later than usual. By. le_tt'ers
from St. Ntersburgh this morning the navigation was
open, and most of the vessels there were engaged o
bring corn. Town Tallow in demand, and rather scarce.

Courtenay in the chair.
GLASGOW, anzmurE,
AND IVIONILLA.NDS
JUNCTION (COWLAIRS, CENTRAL JUNC-
TION, AND CARMYLE BILANCHES).

On the meeting of the Committee,
Mr. ANDREWS proceeded to reply for the promoters of
the Bill, minutely going over the evidence on both
sides. He submitted that no case had been
made out for the rejection of the Bill. That a
through connexion was required no one could deny;
and though several schemes for the purpose
had been from time to time proposed, they had all been
given up as objectionable, and the present one was
brought forward as containing the greatest number of
advantages, with the fewest disadvantages. The damage
to the Green would be very trifling, while a great sana-
tory improvement would be effected by the clearing
away of the bad property which the construction of the
line would necessitate.

Th© room was then cleared, and after parties were
admitted,

The CHAIRMAN announced that the preamble of the
Glasgow, Airdrie, and Monklands (Cowlairs Branch)
was proved, while the Cowlairs and Central Junction
Branch was declared not proved.
The Committee then adjourned.

AMENDMENT (NO. XX).

The Committee was occupied during the whole of the day
in hearing the evidence of witnesses from Shaftesbury and
Salisbury, in favour of the proposed lines of the Great
Western Railway, of which the Wilts, Somerset and Wey-
meuth is one portion. The evidence of the witnesses showed
no fact of importance, beyond that which has been already
reported.
Mr. Bide, of Yeovil, was called in order to show that
the opinion of the majority of the people of Yeovil was
opposed to the scheme of the London and South-Western
Company, and in favour of the schemes projected by the
Great Western Company.
At the conclusion of his evidence the Committee adjourned.

Major Burn, superintendent of the collieries of the Marquis

as to the inconvenience of the monopoly, as they termed it,
of Mr. Hudson's line from York to Newcastle, stating that
coals had now to pay as much as threehalfpence per ton per

AND PRESTON EXTENSION).

Mr. BRANDT having briefly opened the case for the pro-
moters of the Bill, the following evidence was adduced :
Mr. Ascroff, a solicitor, was examined, and stated that he
thought a deviation of the line would be injurious. He
could not tell whether this line of railway would or would
not affect injuriously a considerable portion of Mr. Norris's
property, as he did not know the extent of that property.
Mr. Manchester, of Preston, examined—Was acquainted
with the present station, which was much crowded, and be
bad no doubt that improved accommodation for traffic was
required in the neighbourhood. It would be of great advan-
tage to the public to have the direct line to Liverpool.
Cross-examined by Mr. CALYERT—.IIe thought the con-
fusion which he spoke of at the present station could not
be remedied merely by an increase of its area.
Mr. Rintler, an innkeeper, resident three and a half miles
from Preston, was examined, and corroborated the testimony
of the preceding witnesses, having experienced much incon-
venienceat the present station at Preston.

Some further evidence on this point was adduced, when the
Committee decided that they had heard enough.
Mr. CALVERT addressed the Committee on the part of the
opponents of the Bill, and some evidence was adduced in their
behalf to prove residential injury.
The Committee then adjourned till Monday week.

against the Bill. He said the general objections to the
scheme had been so well stated by Mr. Austin that he would
not refer to them. He would confine himself to the inter-
section of the Caledonian line, and he submitted
that no case had been made for such an interference.
The crossing would take place on the Caledonian
main line on the level, a junction which would be attended
with great danger and difficulty. Under the best circum-
stances, with a united management, such junctions were de-
cidedly objectionable, but they were much more so when
the companies were independent, and when there would be
the leading traffic of both companies continually passing and
repassing. The Learned Gentleman having amplified on
these points, concluded by calling on the Committee to
reject the preamble of the Bill.
Mr. \VUATELEY replied on behalf of Mr. Dixon, iron.
master.

The Committee then adjourned till to•morrow, when Mr.
Andrew will reply.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—BOTANIC WATER AND BEAR'S
GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin and falling off,
the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the
use of the two above-named articles, applied alternately, the
botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a sti-
mulant, and the bear's grease as a nourisher. If any further
evidence was required of the virtues of bear's grease for reno-
vating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the
quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of
the North American Indians would be a sufficient answer.—
Ross and Son's, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate- street, who first
introduced the use of bear's grease in this country, and who
fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase
none other but with their names and address printed on the
pot, or the chances are they are obtaining a spurious ar-
ticle. All vegetable oils applied to the hair are worse than
useless.

FIRE ON THE GREAT WESTERN

RAILWAY.

On Thursday afternoon, shortly before 1 o'clock, con-
siderable confusion was caused upon the Great Western
Railway, in the immediate vicinity of Hanwell, about
seven miles from London, by the following occurrence:
—From inquiries made on the spot it appeared that
sumo time after the 12 o'clock down train had passed
the ilanwell station, smoke was to be seen issuing in
dense bodies from the bridge which crosses the Ux-
bridge-road. An instant alarm was raised, and infor-
mation of the fact was dispatched to London. Before,
however, any one had time to get down the centre of
the bridge, it burst forth into a general blaze. The
various hands employed at the Southall and Es'ing
stations went to the spot, and did all they possibly could
to get the fire subdued, but it having previously worked
into the bars and joistings cross they were unable, for a
long time, to do more than keep the flames from mount
mg into the air. Whilst they were thus engaged the 1
o'clock down train came along, but it was not allowed to
get near the bridge, and was detained some distance on
the line. After much trouble the fire was extinguished,
but not until the bridge was burned through, and so
injured that no train could pass over it either on
the up or down lines. This of course caused the
utmost confusion and delay; persons who wanted to get
to London were obliged to wait until the down trains
came along, and then they were shifted from the up-
trains to the down-trains, the space between being
performed on foot. This took up considerable time, and
most of the passengers, upon reaching Paddington, found
that they were nearly an hour and a half behind their
proper t►me. It is, however, exceedingly fortunate that
the discovery was so opportunely made; had it not been
perceived before the arrival of the one o'clock train,
which does not stop at the station, it is quite probable
that the weight of the engines and carriages would have
forced the bridge in. Up to ten o'clock in the evening,
although an immense number of men had been employed
all the day, the bridge was not sufficiently repaired to
allow the trains to pass over, and the passengers were
then obliged to be shifted from one train to another. It
was, however, expected :that before midnight the line
would be perfectly clear. How the fire originated is a
mystery; some of the officials are of opinion that it might
have been caused by a piece of burning coke falling from
the engines of the twelve o'clock down train, while
others say it was the work of an incendiary. The
bridge was little more than twenty.five feet wide, by
eighteen or twenty feet long; the loss, therefore, is not
of a serious character.

DEATI' Or PRINCE JEROME BONAPARTE.—Se-

tion:—" Prince Jerome Bonaparte, eldest son of the
youngest and last surviving brother of the Emperor, of
Jerome, ex-King of Westphalia, died lately at Florence,
aged 33. This young man had been suffering from a
disease of the spine. Dr. Lallemande, who was con-
sulted when the affection was first discovered, gave some
hopes of recovery, if the patient could be allowed to go
to Vernet passe Pyrenees) to take the water. The
Prince's father, and his uncle, the King of Wurtemberg,
hastened to apply to the French Government for the ne-
cessary permission. This was refused n ithout any rea-
son being assigned. On receiving this refusal the ques-
tion occurred, where will stop this blind animosity, this
want of judgment in persecuting with so much invete-
being who bears the name of Napoleon? This
