A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH, 52, FLEET-STREET.
R. 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 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 operatien, 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 economical, 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.

Band
PART I. treats of the anatomy and physiology of the re-productive
organs, and is illustrated by Six Coloured Engravings.
PART 11. treats of the consequences resulting from excessive Mut-
gence, and their lamentable effects on the system, producing mental
and bodily weakness, nervous excitement, and generative incapacity.
It is illustrated by Three Explanatory Engravings.
PART 111. treats of the diseases resulting from infection, either in
the primary or secondary form, and contains explicit directions for
their treatment. The consequences of early neglect and of the abuse
of mercury, are also clearly pointed out. This section is illustrated
by Seventeen Coloured Engravings.
PART IV. treats of the Prevention of Disease by a simple ap-
plication, by which the danger of infection is obviated. Its action
is simple but sure. It acts with the virus chemically, and destroys
its power on the system. This important part of the Work should
be read ky every Yosing Man entering into life.
PART V. is devoted to the consideration of marriage, and its
duties. The causes of unproductive union are also considered, and
the whole subject critically and philosophically inquired into.

Marriaga requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it he traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused . the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
eictirn of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early lite or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
trequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of
lisease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
'ertify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
ruarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

STATE of the MANUFACTURING

DISTRICTS.—MORE ARRESTS.
At Manchester, yesterday, Rogers, another of the
Chartist leaders, was brought before the borough ma-
gistrates on a warrant obtained under the indictment
for conspiracy. Being unable to give bail he was
committed to the assizes. The prisoners committed on
the previous day to the assizes were removed to the
Kirkdale prison, yesterday, being unable to obtain bail.
At Ashton, during Wednesday night, a clean sweep
was made of all the Chartist and Confederate leaders
who had not sought safety in flight, and thirteen were
brought before the magistrates yesterday, who had been
taken under bench-warrants obtained in the same way,
by indictment, at the assizes, as those on which the Man.
chester Chartists had been taken. James and John
Taylor, William Aitkin, James and Edwa!d Harrop,
William Bolton, William Macklin, Joseph Batty, and
Thomas Stowell were apprehended on Wednesday
night, under such warrants, and were brought up at the
To wn-hall yesterday to give bail for their appearance at
the next Liverpool assizes. The prisoner whom we
stated yesterday to have been apprehended by Inspector
Maiden en Tuesday, on board the Ocean Monarch,
bound for Boston, was Samuel Ratcliffe, who, on per-
ceiving the officer coming to the ship, stowed himself
away in the hold among some rubbish. He was brought
to Ashton on Wednesday evening, and it was expected
he would be brought up yesterday. He is charged with
sedition and conspiracy. No disturbances took place on
Wednesday night, though a tew shots were heard in
Dukinfield.

At Bradford, on Wednesday night, the police, acting
under the orders of the magistracy, paid a round of
visits to the various club-rooms of the Chartists and
Confederates in the town of Bradford. Most of them
were found empty, but in Emmett's section room, in
Victoria-street, nine men were found, half•a-dozen of
them being woolcombers, two weavers, and a tinner, and
they were all marched off to prison, a number of books
and papers in the care of the secretary being taken by
the officers of justice. At the house of John Smyth, hi
Thomas-street, a number of papers were also found, and
he, too, was conveyed to prison. The names of the
persons apprehended are—James Helliwell (30), Eli
Wilman (30), Joseph Ridehalgh (21), Thomas Ibbetson
(20), William Woad (30), Adam Stratton (30), Thomas
Wilkinson (42), Edward Power (42), Daniel Lindon
(34), and John Smyth (42). The capture of these men
was effected in a very quiet manner, and although the
military were under arms their services were not re-
quired. Yesterday the town was as quiet as usual.

THE DISCIPLINE OF LIFE.—" These volumes de-
clare themselves the work of a female hand, and one in
which the sweetness, simplicity, and pathos of the best
old English style of narrative seem to us revived. The
writer will make herself widely known, and will find lov-
ing welcome. There is no merit nor hazard in predict-
ing it. Since Miss Austen ceased to write and Mrs.
Marsh began, we have had no other story-telling of its
class that we would place upon a level with this, for
freshness, straightforwardness, and truth of tone and
feeling. Its way to the sympathies is direct, swift, sure.
Criticism notices faults of haste and inexperience, but
forgets them in the presence of emotion as real as the
heart can undergo, or the eye bear silent witness to.
There are passages in these stories which even Mrs.
Inchbald has hardly surpassed, for the sweet cunning
with which the secrets of the female heart are touched
and revealed in them."—Examiner.

SHARESPERE BIRCHED.—An unfortunate indivi-
dual, who thus writes himself down, " NV. J. Birch, AI .A., . ~
New Inn Hall, Oxon," has been guilty of begetting
called An Inquiry into the Philosophy and Religion of Shahs-
pere. This benighted Birch calls up Shakspere, and accuses
him of Infidelity. He had not the proper notions of immor-
tality, says Birch ; and—to the great delight of his own cha-
ritable soul—he proves, at least in the belief of the possessors,
the existence of no such for other people. Marlowe is at
once written down an Atheist; and, indeed, other playhouse
folks are turned inside out, as Birch would turn out one cf
his old gloves. Several of our contemporaries have abused
Birch at length; the more simple they. We should as soon
think of arguing with a reasoner who, for fault of human
wir, used ancient eggs. A Birch, however, insults Shaks-
pere ' • we would punish him and in this fashion :—We would
turn him adrift in a washing tub on the Avon ; and whereas
Birch has thrown his dirt at the Swan, he should be piloted
by congenial geese. Atter this we should have it signifi-
cantly proved to Birch that be deserved nothing short of
himself.—Punch.
