ENAMEL.—The Liquid Enamel, for
STOPPING DECAYED TEETII without pain, is a com-
bination of those substances, of which, according to the most rooeit
analysis, the natural teeth are composed; and its successful applica-
tion for many years by Mons. DE BERRI, the inventor, proves it
unrivalled for its efficacy in restoring Decayed Teeth and preventing
Tooth-ache. Artificial Teeth, on a new and infallible principle, sup-
plied by Mons. de Berri, who also remodels old sets; and those per-
sons who already ►ear artificial teeth, but wish to avail themselves
of the most recent improvements, can have a new set constructed,
and a liberal allowance will be made for those already hi •so.

MDCCCXLVII. and AIDCCCXLVIII.
TO TIIE PUBLIC.
"Look on this picture, and on this."-
As now another year is passed away.
MOSES and SON their wonted tribute pay;
And freely own, with gratitude sincere,
The many favours of another year.
Oft have their warm acknowledgments bee* made,
For vast suceees, and gloSious public aid ;
But never did such staunch support appear,
As that which honoured the departed year.
Spring, summer, autumn, winter, bear fresh proof,
Of crowding throngs beneath their trading roof.
When January's frosts were keenly felt,
Thousands with MOSES liberally dealt ;
And Winter Overcoats. to suit the cold,
Were purchased at their Warehouse million-fold.
In February's month. and blust'ring March,
The public sought the Bmporiam's lofty meh.
In fickle April, and in milder May,
MOSES and SON'S Spring dresses bore the sway.
In pleasant June, and changeable July,
Vast multitudes were daily seen to buy ;
And such supporters failed not to remember
The City Mart In August and September.
And in October's month did thousands press,
At MOSES' Mart for matchless Autumn dress.
In dull November, and December, too,
MOSES and SOX were ever kept in view.
And thus did new encouragements appear
Throughout the circle of the by-past year :
Not only In attire, but boots and shoes,
And also In the furs which ladies use ;
And throngs of buyers might we daily see,
Obtainining first-class Hata at Eighty-three.
unit m•tehieSS outfits too,
The trade at MOSES' Warehouse daily grow.
The glorious marks of favour thus presented,
Proclaim the by-guns year unprecedented.
'Twas truly pleasing to behold a throng,
Crowding the spacious Warehouse all day long;
While all the current coins, with constant jingle,
Amid the busy stir were heard to mingle.
Nor was It any sight to cause a frown,
While orders for bespoke were putting down.
Swift went the knibs, uad orders swiftly took,
And very swiftly filled each order• book.
The Cutting-room at MOSES' mart has beets,
" A cutting sight"—an over-busy scene.
No time for idleness—no lengthy leisure,
Could hero be had for cutter, shears, or measure :
All was activity in every part,
And business "ruled the roast" at MOSES' Mart.
Though scarcity of money roused alarm,
MOSES and SON sustained no trading harm.
Fo ; on the contrary, as people found,
The real value of a =rust pound,
They flocked to MOSES' Mart, assured that there,
Unmatched economy is brought to bear.
What now remains ? A task devolves on MOSES,
Now Eighteen Forty-seven for ever closes.
Most heartily do Messrs. MOSES tender
Their thanks tbr what a generous public render.
But thanks ten thousand times they might repeat,
And leave the task of thanking incomplete.
Yet, happily, they've more that they can state,
And thus they're led to Eighteen Forty-eight.
In Eighteen Forty-eight they mean to steer
Beyond the bounds of each succeeding year.
The recent purchases which they have made,
Will add new benefits to all their trade.
When all the markets were depressed, they bought
For moderate sums their cloths saperbly wrought.
'They saw the opportunity, and now,
A most immense redaction they allow.
Such are the benefits which here await
The purchaser of Thighteen Forty-eight.
May MOSES and the public ever be,
On pleasing terms of trading unity ;
May both the buyers and the sellers find,
That all their mutual interests are combined I
And may the friends of MOSES (small aid great)
Enjoy, in every possible estate,
A happy year in Eighteen Forty-eight.

A THIEF KILLED WHILE COMMITTING A ROE-
REar.—On Saturday morning the body of a man, about
thirty years of age, was found in the basement-story of
a new building now erecting in Upper East Smithfield,
in the parish of Aldgate. He appeared to have been
dead several hours, and the body was quite cold. The
back and neck of the deceased were broken, and be had
received other contusions. On the body of the man
being discovered, an investigation was made by the
police, and it seems that he was in the act
.of stripping
some lead off the roof of the building which is only par-
tially covered•in, and while doing so the rafters gave
way, and he was precipitated to the ground, a height of
fifty feet, and must have been killed on the spot. lie
was dressed in a fustian jacket, corduroy knee-breeches,
cloth cap, and blue stockings, and low shoes. There
was nothing found upon him which could lead to his
identity.

Gardner and Naylor have resumed " short time" at
