"Dr. Fickford is known to English readers by hie frequent practi-

erfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from
Lc original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, sod will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operrdion, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and Is
uarainced to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth

SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 25,—The United States' steam-
frigate Merrimac, Captain Prendergrast, arrived here
tbis morning from New York, on a cruise. The Mer-
rimac is one of the monster steainfrigates, of which a
series have lately been built by the American Govern•
ment, and is of 4,888 tons burden, with a complement
of 570 men, pierced for 60 guns but carrying at present
only 40. This ,armament is of the heaviest and most
terrible description, consisting entirely of long pieces of
ordnance of 8,9, and 10-inch calibre. The Merrimac is
propelled by a screw, 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 entirely under canvas, and
the ship hos exhibited the best qualities in every respect,
The Merrimac will remain at Southampton several
weeks, and will, doubtless, be au object of much interest
to naval authorities.

in a letter to a contemporary, says :—" About halt-past
ii o'clock on the evening of Thursday last, the 18th
instant, I ha" occzsion to send a 'most pressing tele•
graphic mesene to Libourne, in the depar, meet of the
Gironde, a town in Prance marked. on the list of the
Electric Telegraph Company as ene of their stations.
For this me,sage, which was under 20 words, I paid
the sum of 11 6d.,,and, on enquiring when it w. old
i'each its destination, the clerk replied be could not ex-
Actiy say, as the wires might be occupi, d, but he sup-
posed 'in two or three hours ; (el-vainly that night, as
it would be transmitted izno.edistely,' Wel, sir, ob-
serve the speed of the electric telegraph ! Toe gentle-
man, on whose account the message was sent, receited
a letter yesterday, the 23(1, dated "Libournei Sunda*,
September 21. t, half-past 4 p.m.,' at which time it had
not been dslivered, although 70 hours had elapsed since
it was written at the company's office in the Strand !
