BEAUTIFUL TEETH.

ROW L AND S' ODONTO, or PEARL

cherche ink clients of the Oriental herbal. It extirpates all tartar-
ous adhesions to the teeth, and ensures a pearl-like whiteness t.
the ebamelled surface. It, anti-septic and anti-scorbutic properties
exercise a highly beneficial and salutary Influence: they arrest the
iurther pn.gress of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy action of
the Gums, and by confirming their adhesion to the Teeth, perpetuate
eflective and complete mastication; the breath also, from the saki
brious and disinfecting qualities of the Odonto, attains a grateful
sweetness and fragrance.

The Proprietors of this Dentifrice pledge themselves that its effi-
cacy in preserving and embellkhing the TEETH, far surpasses any-
thing of the kind ever yet offered to the public. and hAs, in conse-
quence, obtained Its selection by her Majesty the Queen, tip- Court,

IRELAND.
THE STATE PROSECUTIONS.

DUBLIN, MAYTtljThe trial of Mr. Smith O'Brien
has been fixed by the Court of Queen's Bench for Mon-
day next, and, we understand, the Hon. Gentleman cal
culates with absolute certainty on a disagreement of the
jury. How far the result may justify the anticipation
remains to be seen ; but that he entertains such an
opinion is quite certain. It is now settled that Mr.
Butt, Q.C., will undertake the defence, not as a mere
lawyer acting on his instructions in consideration of his
fee, but as a personal friend and admirer of the Hon.
Gentleman, and moreover as one fully approving of the
motives and principles which have influenced his public
conduct in reference to the agitation of domestic legisla-
tion. Mr. O'Flaherty, Mr. Mitchell's conducting agent,
states in a note addressed to the Freeman of this morn-
ing, that the mode of conducting the defence of all the
traversers was decided on, from reasons of general policy,
by a committee of the Irish Confederation appointed for
that purpose; and that Mr. Mitchell's pleas in abatement
were filed under the direction of advising counsel for all
the traversers', and with the full concurrence of Mr.
O'Brien and Mr. Meagher.
DISMISSAL OF MR. SMITH O'BRIEN.

After the perusal of the previous correspondence be-
tween the Chancellor and Mr. Smith O'Brien. touching
the paraphrase of Lord Clarendon's proclamation, we
are not surprised at the following:—
" Secretary's Office, Court of Chancery,
" Dublin, May 9, 1848.•
" Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
this morning of your letter, dated the 6th of May.
" The Chancellor does not any reason from that
letter to alter the opinion conveyed in my letter of the
sth inst., respecting the proceeding therein alluded to;
old us you state that the 4ocument in question entitled
• Proclamation by the Council of the It•sli Confedera
(ion,' as signed by you, the Chancellor regrets that he
ias felt it his duty to supersede you in the commission
of the peace ior the county of Limerick.
I have the honour to tie, Sir, your obedient servant,

STOPPAGE OF A SAVINGS-BANK.

The Iff is of the war organs to create a panic by
'ialling on the people to run for g,dd has eventuated
he stoppage of zit. Peter's P;;ri,h Savihgs-hatit, in this
iity, under circirnstanees which cannot but prove most
lisastrous to the depe-itors—a clasp, it may he supplied,
ut it;-1 r part d f.r this, the certain fruit of the teaching
Mr. John :;itched and his copartners, in the revolti-
.ionary press. The inana2ers of Ow ill fated institution
have 1114 day issued statements of the circumstances
.s.litch have led to this calamity:—
" The trutt, es and managers of this bark, with deep
:egret, feel themselves compelled, ft r the present, to
t;lose the institution; and, in doing so, deem it to he their
luty to lay before the public a statement of the circam-
.tances which oblige them to take this step.
" In the year 18:31 the then trustees discovered that
large deficiency in the funds of this bsnk had been caused
by the defalcation of a Mr. Dunne, the then officer of the
bank. who about that time abscotried from this country.
" Upon making that discovery, the first impulse of the
trustees was to close the establishment, dividing the as-
sets among the depositors equally ; but, upon conside
ration, it was deemed prudent, before adopting so im-
portant a step, to confer with and take the advice of the
Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt,
who are the depositories of the funds of all savings-
barks ; and accordingly they deputed one of their body
to proceed to London for that purpose.
" The trustee so deputed laid before the Commissioners
for the Reduction of the National Debt a full statement
of the position in which the bank was placed, and the
result was that the barrister appointed by Act of Parlia-
ment came over to Dublin to investigate the claims upon
the funds of the bank, and to advise with the trustees.

" That law-officer accordingly investigated, and adju-
dicated upon the claims of the depositors, and having
done so, expressed his opinion that it was advisable (con-
sidering the amount of capital of the savings-bank,
about 100,0001) to keep it open, with the view of mak-
ing good the deficiency out of the annual surplus, when
such should arise.

"The then trustees accordingly acted upon this advice;
public confidence was by degrees restored, and the in-
stitution was ;flourishing, with every prospect of even-
tually realizing a surplus sufficient to make good the
deficiency created in 1831, when, unhappily, a panic was
created in 1845, and a run having in consequence com-
menced, the trustees again anxiously considered the
propriety of closing the kbank, and dividing the assets
amongst the depositors; but upon giving the matter the
most mature consideration, they were of opinion that,
legally, they had not the power to do so; and the bank,
accordingly, being kept open, the sum of about 223,0001.
was drawn out by depositors.
" The payment of so large an amount restored public
confidence, and there was every prospect of the institu
lion becoming again equally flourishing, when the dis-
tress and political excitement of the present year having
again produced a run, and a large sum having been
with Irawn by the depositors, and the draughts of the
trustees for this day's demand having been re.lised pay-
ment by the Commissioners for the R•llliction of the
National Debt, the trustees have no alternative but to
close the bank for the present, with a hope, however,
that the Commissioners for the Reduction of the NA..
tional Debt, who, since 1831, have been fully aware of
the existence of the deficiency then created, with the
interest due thereon, will, under the peculiar circum•
stances of the case, take the claims of the depositors into
their anxi: pus consideration.,
