if NR. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
! I street, has introduced an entirely rew description of ARTI-
FICIAL TEF:TII, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfally'resemble the natural teeth as not to he disistiguished from
the original 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
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth
,endered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At
home from ten till five.

The proceedings in the Senate have been devoid
of general interest.

In the House of Representativei Mr. Quitman,
of Mississippi, had advocated the repeal of the Neu-
trality Laws, which he considered a violation of
the constitution and a stigma on American intel-
ligence. He said--7-" Mexico is in antate of disso-
lution, divided into factions, and lingering a miser-
able existence by selling•her territory to this coun-
try. In Central America there have been a series
of revolutions for years. Cuba, the last remnant of
the gigantic despotism of Spain is necessary for the
protection ufreur commerce, and for the national re-
pose and severfty. The law of nations depends upon
circumstances; Its foundation is reason, right, and
justice. We have not our own connecting link between
theAtla,ntic and Pacific states, and that man is guilty
of moral treason who-halts about the means of seizing
the isthmus. It must be taken, even at the expense
of a war. It is manifest destiny, as well as a na-
tional necessity." In the course of -his remarks he
said England had the address to induce our Go-
vernment to reject a favourable treaty with Domi-
nica, and had besides exerted an influence over
Spain to our detriment. " Puty`to our country de-
mands that we guard against the repetition of such
flagrant offences." The diatmssion was adjourned.
A despatch had been received at Washington,
stating that disturbances had again broken out in
Kansas. No perticnlars were given, except that
some of the authorities had been shot.
The friends of the rival candidates for the Presi-
dency were redoubling their efforts. The reception
at Philadelphia of Mr. Buchanan was looked upon
as ominous. The Hard Shell campaign for Cincin-
nati was fully organised on the 25th ult. ,
Messrs. Himmocks, Hicks, and Kingsley, ;who
had been on trial, charged with setting 4:1 n foot at
New York a hostile expedition to co-operate with I
Gen. Walker in N icar igua, had been discharged '
by the United States Commissioner, as he did not
consider the testimony sufficient to warrant their
detention. st
The advices from Central America repoTt another
engagement between Walker and his Filibusters
and the Costa-Ricans. On the 7th Walker attacked
Rivas defended by 2,000 men (?) with 600 of his
Filibusters, and after a fight of 18 hours' duration
was compelled, " for want of ammunition," to
withdraw, leaving 600 of the enemy dead and a
large number wounded. Walker's loss is estimated
at less than 100 wounded. This account being ex
parte must be taken at its proper value. A cor-
respondence between the British and Costa Rican
Givernment is said to have been intercepted, con-
taining a tender of 2,000 stand of arms and other
aid from the former. The New York Herald pub-
lishes three letters, with remarks. It says—
" The first letter is from the Foreign-office of the for-
mer Government to E. %Vallerstein, the Consul-General
of Costa Rica • and the other letters are addressed, one
officially, to the Minister of Foreign Relations of Costa
Rica, and the other, as a private letter, to the President
of the Republic :

" 'No. 10. " Lond. Feb. 10, 1856.
" Sir,—ln reference to my note of the 16th of last
month, marked No. 4, which I communicated to your
Excellency, that in the interview with Lord Clarendon
I had begged of him to favour our Government with a
loan of 2,000 muskets, I now take great pleasure to in-
form sour Excellency that, on the 19th inst., I was ad-
vised by the Secretary of Foreign Relations that Lotd
Clarendon had consulted with the Minister of War in
regard to my request, and I rczeived the information
that 2,000 musket's cou!d he obtained at the price of
23e , or 2 000 at 565. 8 I. for that service ; that as soon
as I informed his Lordship which of the two kinds
would suit me, he would give orders that the 2,000
might be placed at my disposal for the use of the Re-
public of Costa Rica. I have not yet replied to that
communication, but I have written a private letter to
said secretary, entreating him to send me an order to
examine the two kinds of arms. After seeing them, I
will still consider if it is convenient to take them with-
out positive instructions from his Excellency the Presi-
silent ; but in the meantime, I am persuaded his Excel-
lency will see the promptness with which the Govern-
ment of her Britannic Majesty has complied with my
request is a very strong demonstration of her sympathy
and goodwill towards that republic. Nothing is said, it
is true, in the Minister's letter about the time the money
should be paid ; it shows that this is left for the rtpublic
to determine.
