ItA R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
,. I! street, has introduced an entirely raw de,scription of A RTI-
r ICIAi. TE ET!! , fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
erfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
he original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
3 his method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
,peration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
uaranteed to restore articu'ation and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication.--. 52, Fleet-street. At • oine from ten till five.

Cannon street, London, 23d Sept., 1856, addressed to the
shareholders, having been read,
" Resolved,— That the shareholders, policyholders, and the

for the statement which Mr. J. J. Mechi has presumed to dis.
seminato throughout the public press of almost all their old
and faithful Directors cord'ally uniting wall himself aid Mr.
Baylis ;' and, further, that that statement was advertised by

SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 25.—The United States' steam-
frigate Merrimac', Captain Prendergrast, Errieed here
this morning from New York, on a cruise. The Mer-
rimac is one of the monster stearnfrigatect, of ehich a
series have lately been built by the American Gov( rn.
ment, and is of 4,888 tons burden, with a complement
of 570 men, pierced for 60 guns but carrying at prevent
only 40. This 'armament is of the heaviest and 'Lott
terrible description, ccnsisting entirely of long pieces of
ordnance of 8,9, and 10. inch calibre The Merrimac is
propelled by a 'crew, the nominal power of the engines
being of 450 horses. The screw disconnects, and can be
lifted out of the water. The voyage from New York
has been performed almost entire!: under c (ma% and
the ship has exhibited the best qualities in every respect.
The Mettimac will remain at S uthamptou several
weeks, and will, doubtless, be au object of much interest
to naval authorities.

A TELEGRAPUIC. GRIEVANCE.—Mr. Dudley Costello,
in a letter to a contemporary, says :—" About bail-past
6 o'clock on the evening of Thursday last, the 18th
instant, I had occasion to send a must pressing tele-
graphic message to Libourne, in the department of the
Gironde, a town in France marked on the list of the
Electric Telegraph Company a; one of their stations.
For this me-sage, which was under 20 words, I raid
the sum of 1/. 3 .J.,
reach its destination, the clt rk replied he cou'd not ex-
as the wires
actly say, and, on enquiling why nit w ll' 1
might be occupi4d, but he sup-
posed 'ln tpo or three hours ; ,ertainly that night, as
it would be transmitted im.c ediateiy.' Well, sir, ob-
serve the speed of the electric telegraph ! Toe g :ere-
man, on whose account the,rret,zuge was sent, receited
a letter ye-terday, the 23d, dated "Libourne, Sul day,
September 21,t, hall-past 4 p.m ,' at which time it bad
not been d livered, although 70 hours had elapsed skeet
it was written at the company's office in the Strand 1
