a valuable desideratum to all who have occasion for the den-
tist's services. None but pure first class materials and
workmanship employed, while the expense is even less than
half the ordinary cost. To be obtained only of Messrs.

DAVIESON'S EVERLASTING TEETH.-
THE LATEST DISCOVERY. Mr. EDWARD
DAVIESON, Surgeon-Dentist, has introduced a material
for the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH so extraor-
dinary that nature appears to have made good the ravages of
TIME, DISEASE, or ACCIDENT, and when fitted detec-
tion is impossible even though the wearer's mouth be closely
examined. The price is so moderate that it is within the
reach of all, and it is fitted without springs or other unsightly
fastenings. The removal of stumps is unnecessary, and thud
all pain is avoided. Mr. Edward Davieson invites one visit
of inspection to his establishment, which will convince the
most sceptical of the truth and straightforwardness of this
statement. The LIQUID ENAMEL, for Stopping Decayed
Teeth, is ENAMEL WHITE, keeps its colour, and lasts for
over. Tt is invabiabie for Front Teeth- Attendance daily
from Ten till Six. Consultations free. Mr. EDWARD

LAW OF PROPERTY AMENDMENT ACT.

(From the Times' City Article.)
The subjoined letter from Lord St. Leonards ex-
plains the precise bearing of the Trust Money and
Law of Property Amendment Act recently passed :
"Boyle Farm, Aug. 29. •,
" Sir,—ln your Money. Article of Monday last it is stated
that the 23d and 24th Victoria, cap. 38, empowers the
Court of Chancery to invest trust funds in the securities
raised under the authority of Parliament, such as those for
the West India Islands, Turkish Guaranteed Four per
Cents., &c., upon petition being presented by any of the
parties interested.
" I believe that you will do good service by informing
trustees and the persons for whom they are trustees how
the law really stands under the two acts of the last two
sessions, for which lam responsible. lam not surprised
that in this day's paper it is stated that the act of the ses-
sion just ended was brought forward by the Lord Chancel-
lor, for his name was on the back of it, owing to his having,
at my request, in my absence, laid it on the table and moved
the first reading—in the House of Lords a matter of form.
The act was framed and carried through by me chiefly as a
supplement to the act of the previous session.
"Now the law stands thus—By the 32d section of the
22d and 23d Vic. cap. 35, where a trustee is not, by some
instruments creating his trust, expressly forbidden to invest
any trust fund on real securities in any part.of the United.
Kingdom, or in the Stock of the Bank of England or Ire-
land, or in East India Stock, it is lawful for him to invest
such trust money in such securities or stock, provided that
such investment shall in other respects be reasonable and
proper ; and by the 12th section of the 23d. and 24th Vic.,
c. 38, this clause is made to operate retrospectively.
"By the last mentioned act the Lord Chancellor, with
the advice of the other equity judges, or any three of them,
is empowered to make such general orders as to the invest-
ment of cash under the control of the Court, either in the
Three per Cent. Consols, or Reduced, or New Bank Annui-
ties, or in such other stocks, funds, or securities, as he shall
with such advice see fit ; and power is given to the Lord
Chancellor to convert any Three per Cent. Bank Annuities,
standing or to stand in the name of the Accountant-Gene-
ral of the Court in trust in any cause or matter, into any
such other stocks, funds, qr securities upon which, by any
such general order as aforesaid, cash under the control of the
Court may be invested. The orders for conversion are to be
made upon the petition of any of the parties interested.
" By the same act, trustees having power to invest their
trust funds upon Government securities, or upon Parlia-
mentary stocks, funds, or securities, may invest them in
any of the stocks, funds, or securities in or upon which by
such general order cash under the control of the Court may
be invested.
" The result is, that trustees (including executors and
administrators) may, unless forbidden by their trust, invest
the trust fund in real securities in Great Britain or in Bank
Stock of England or Ireland, or in East India Stock, which
has been held to mean the old East India Stock. The Court
itself can invest cash in such stocks, funds, and securities
as it shall see fit, and make a general order for the purpose ;
and upon the petition of parties interested Three per Cents.
may be converted by the Court into such securities as cash
may be invested upon under any general order; and trus-
tees, with the usual powers to invest, may resort to the
same securities. The power to the Court is general, and
does not enumerate any particular securities, as it was con-
sidered that there was no danger of this power being unduly
exercised. The principal assuredly will never be placed in
danger in order to obtain a large interest.
" The 32d section of the 22d and 23d of Victoria, cap. 35,
is not properly framed, but it is not likely to be abused, as
trustees will, no doubt, act with great caution under it. By
the bill of the late session, as it was sent to the House of
Commons, this clause was repealed, but that house not only
rejected the repeal clause, but made the original clause re-
trospective. The new clauses relating to trust funds in the
bill of the late session were framed by me, with the appro-
bation of all the equity judges, and invited in the House of
Commons. There was another clause in substitutiOn of the
32d section of the 22d and 23d of Victoria, cap. 35, which
that house, of course, objected to adopt, as they were deter-
mined to retain the 32d section as it stood.—l have the
honour to be, sir, your faithful servant,

FEMALE EMIGRATION TO TASMANIA.—On Satur-
day last the Antipodes, Capt. G. Croot, left Gravesend for
Launceston, Tasmania. She conveyed 167 single women,
accustomed to domestic service, selected by the Tasmanian
emigration agency. Dr. Samuel Malt had medical charge
of the emigrants, and Miss Ann Lamburn was appointed
matron, assisted' by three sub-matrons. The vessel was
visited at Gravesend by Mr. J. A. Youl and Mr. F. A.
Dueroz, accompanied by the agency's secretary, Mr, T. 33.

TILE UNITED STATES.

NEW YORK, Aua. 21.

The union of the two parties of Douglas and Bell
in the State of New York.on a single electoral tic-
ket was formally concluded by a joint convention of
delegates held at Syracuse last week. A ticket of
candidates for Presidential electors was adopted, of
which the Douglas men have 25, and the Bell men,
who are inferior in political strength, the remaining
10. The object of this junction is to defeat the
Republicans in the Presidential election, and the
electors are expected to cast their votes for Douglas
or Bell, according as events may skow one or the
other to be the most av: didate against
Lincoln. The combined 'these organisa-
tions will, however, be i .;`; unless they are
joined by the supporters o Hr. Breckinridge, who
still persist in preserving their individuality with-
out compromise or concession. When the question
of slavery is to be voted upon, New York is over-
whelmingly Republican, and nothing but the intro-
duction of side issues into the canvass and the in-
testine quarrels and financial corruptions of its
leaders in the State Legislature can imperil the
triumph of the Republican party. It is therefore
impossible for Mr. Washington Hunt to induce a
majority of his party, which on the great question
at issue agrees with the Republicans, to assent to
the proposed condition, and support Mr. Douglas,
their common adversary,,,and the author of the
repeal of the Missouri dbmprciraise.- 'Th•eat efforts
will undoubtedly be made to defeat Lincoln in the
greatest State in the Union, and its loss would be
fatal to his election ' • bit the tendencies of public
opinion in favour of his political creed are too pro-
nounced and of too long standing to be frustrated
by any combination of party managers. While Mr.
Douglas has been travelling north complimenting its
people by expressing a preference for Rhode Island
clams over" Southern niggers," with other facetious
oratorical amenities, the Breckinridge party have
renewed their hostility in the south. Their National
Democratic Committee, in a long manifesto dated
from Washington, reviews his recent course, and de-
nounces him as a mountebank and a traitor with
whom no terms are to be made. In Virginia the
parties of Breckinridge and Douglas, whose con-
ventions ended their sessions on Saturday, refused
to coalesce, and unless some compromise be effected
hereafter the electoral vote of that State is sure for
Bell and Everett.

The reply of the Acting Secretary of State for
this Government to Lord John Russell's circular de-
spatch, requesting our co-operation in measures to
suppress the slave trade, has been published. The
objection to the project of systematic cruising by
our vessels on the coast of Cuba, on account of the
want of a treaty with Spain authorising it, is well
founded ; but it would have more weight if it pro-
ceeded from an Administration which had dis-
played any efficient zeal in enforcing the law, and
employing means which were undeniably at its com-
mand for the suppression of the "abominable
traffic." The objection raised by our Government
to the introduction of Chinese Coolies, that it would
demoralise our negro slaves, has much force. If
carried out on a large scale, the plan would amount
to the abolition of slavery. It is extremely impro-
bable that the Slave States, most of which dis-
courage the settlement of free negroes, as an ele-
ment of insurrection, would consent to the introduc-
tion of another degraded race from abroad, enjoying
certain privileges which would excite the envy of
those whose bondage is hopeless. .
The reports of slave insurrections in Texas come
in slowly, and are not sufficiently full to warrant
the belief that there is any widespread plot to mur-
der the white population. According to the local
newspapers, several negroes have been captured at
different placed with strychnine in their possession,
which they say was given them by the abolitionists
for the purpose of poisoning their masters, and some
slaves had been detected in setting fire to buildings.
These stories have an appearance of exaggeration.
It is quite preposterous to charge abolitionists with
personally inciting slaves to insurrection. Their
highest achievements in courage thus
.far have been
the dissemination of doctrines where slavery does
not exist, and the denunciation of the evil at a safe
distance.

Mr. Hatch and Mr. J. W. Taylor, two gentlemen
holding commissions from our Government to in-
vestigate the operation of the Canadian Recipro-
city Treaty, haVe published their reports. Mr.
Hatch favours, and Mr. Taylor opposes, the abro-
gation of the treaty. Mr. Taylor, living in Minne-
sota, represents a region which, under the treaty,
seeds breadstuffs and provisions cheaper by the
Canadian line than by the United States' lines of
transportation to the seaboard. Mr. Hatch, living
in Buffalo, New York, represents a city which is
the entrepot of the railroads which suffer from the
competition of the Canadian Grand Trunk line.'
The protective policy adopted by Canada doubtless
prevents us from realising all the advantages we
expected to derive from the treaty, but so long as,
notwithstanding the duty on our manufactures, we
send to the provinces annually 21,000,000 dollars
of produce against the 19,000,000 imported from
them, the public will not consent to the abolition of
the reciprocity system.
The accounts of the wheat crop are as auspicious
as ever. With the exception of the western part
of Missouri and a portion of Kansas, where drought
has prevailed, the entire West promises an abundant
harvest: An article in the Courier and Enquirer of
this city presents the following statistics and esti-
mates of the increase in the crops :

"It is yet too soon to form any estimate of the
export of wheat and flour for the year, but from
present indications it will not be much less than
30,000,000 bushels.

" We shall have tin idea of the available surplus
in case of high prices by taking the consumption
and loss at five bushels for each person. The actual
consumption is perhaps not over 4 or 4-,t bushels,
but in seasons of plenty seed used in manufactur-
ing, loss in harvesting, &c., diminish the actual

THE NAVY .

The Pioneer, paddle steamer, Master Commander
May, sailed from Spithead on her voyage to join
the Zambesi expedition on Sunday afternoon.
The Hornet, 17, screw, Commander Elphinstone,
sailed from Spithead yesterday afternoon for the
Cape and Bombay. The Hornet is exceedingly
well manned, and her commander appeared to be a
very popular officer during the period of her fitting
out at Portsmouth.

The Emerald, 51, screw, Capt. A. Cumming,was
placed in No. 7 dock yesterday at Portsmouth, for
examination and repairs.
The Medea, 6, paddle, has been hauled out of the
steam basin at Portsmouth, and berthed alongside
the north wall, where she will coal prior to testing
machinery, &c.

The Clara, hired troopship, arrived at Spithead
last evening from Calcutta, from which port she
sailed on the sth of May, calling at St. Helena, and
sailing thence on the 21st of July. The Clara brings
the head-quarters of the Bth (King's Own) Regi-
ment, comprising Brevet Lieut.-Col. A. C. Robert-
son, Capt. A. T. Welch, Lieuts. R. Y. Stokes, A.
G. Westby, J. M. liughes, and C. D. Baynes ; En-
signs R. Chute, J. G. Brown, C. B. Crease, A. Cook,
and J. P. Jones; Assist.-Surg. W. H. Yates, guar-_
termaster John Keatridge, 291 non-commissioned
officers and privates, and 11 women and 19 children.
She has also on board belOnging to various corps,
principally time-expired men for discharge, 37 non-
commissioned officers and privates,l2 women and 13
children. The Bth King's Own embarked at Ports-
mouth for Bombay in April, 1846. Out of 34 officers
and 868 non •commissioned officers and men who were
present with the colours when the regiment em-
barked, only 6 officers and 110 non-commissioned of-
ficers and men are now borne on the muster-roll of
the battalion. During the service of the regiment
in Hindostan the kingdoms of the Punjab and
Oude, and the seaboard provinces of the Burmese
empire, have been added to her Majesty's Indian
empire. The King's Own did not form part of the
force employed in the Punjab, nor of that employed
in the Burmese campaign ; but during the whole of
the late terrible struggle with the mutinous Sepoys
of the Bengal army, and with the insurgent popu-
lation of Oude, from the time the first atrocities
were committed in May, 1857, until the last shot
was fired in February, 1859, the regiment was con-
stantly in the field, and in the most notable achiev-
ments of these 20 months it bore a conspicuous
part. The ship awaits orders at Spithead as to the
disembarcation of the troops. Twelve men, two
women, and four children have died on the passage
home.

A letter received from an officer on board the
Royal Mail steamship Mersey, dated " Rio de
Janeiro, August 5," gives the following intelli-

gence :--

"Ships left in port at Buenos Ayres—her Majes-
ty's steamer Oberon, the United States brig Dol-
phin and surveying steamer Argentina, the Spanish
brig General Valdez, the Brazilian gunboat Parna-
hiba, and two Buenos Ayres war steamers, one of
which is the late Royal Mail steamer Camilla, now
their flag-ship. At Montevideo.—Her Majesty's
steamer Curacoa, to sail immediately for Madonado
for exercise ; the French gunboat D'Entrecaareaux,
the Brazilian corvette Imperial Mariners, and one
gunboat. Ships Spoken by the Mersey.—July 11,
in lat. 31.20 S., long. 50.30 W., the schooner King-
fisher, of Kingston, bound south ; July 31, 30 miles
east of Montevideo, the Bremen bark Amaranth,
bound west. This last week we have experienced
very heavy thunderstorms, much rain, and thick
fogs ; the fogs have prevailed in the river the whole
month. The comet was visible through a pair of
opera-glasses up to the end of July, since which it
has been clouded ; it was then in the vicinity of
the Southern Cross."

The screw steamship Sanspareil, 70, Capt. Arthur
P. E. Wilmot, C. 8., flag of Rear Admiral of the
Red Charles Talbot, arrived at Plymouth Sound on
Sunday evening.

The Secretary of State for War, by letter dated
Aug. 4, 1860, has approved of unserviceable guns
being marked with a cross on the upper part of the
face, and a second cross immediately below the
broad arrow, in order to prevent unserviceable ord-
nance,when in use for drill purposes, being mistaken
for service guns. Officers commanding Royal Artil-
lery will therefore take the necessary steps to cause
these marks to be cut accordingly.

Damp Weather—Diseas
es of the Throat.—Whenever the
atmosphere is surcharged with W
Moisture a vast number of
throat affections arise, which, though simple at first, soon
become complicated and serious. Holloway's Ointment,
thoroughly. rubbed over the top of the chest and glands of
the neck, is admirably well adapted to cure all such com-
plaints; it penetrates, reduces inflammation, and cures,
without the pain of swallowing medicine, which is a matter
of momentous consideration in childhood, when irritation
begets fever, and increases the severity of every symptom.
In quinsoy, diphtheria, ulcerated sorethroac, and scarlatina
this ointment, rubbed on the skin, will dissipate all danger-
ous indications, and conduct the patient with celerity and
safety to perfect health.
