BY lIER MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.
Mlt. A. ESKELL, Surgeon Dentist, 8, Lower
Grosvenor-street, begs to introduce to the notice ofthe
medical profession, the nobility, gentry, and the public, his
newly patented invention for the construction and adaptation
of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, with all the modern improve-
ments, upon a novel, painless, and unfailing principle, supe-
rior to all other methods hitierto discovered, whereby one
set of teeth absolutely lasts a lifetime, dispensing with the
necessity of t second, or reserve set, notwithstanding any
changes which may take place in the mouth arising from ac-
cidental loss of natural teeth, absorption of gum, or removal
of stumps. To persons going or residing abroad, or in the
country, this invention will prove invaluable, as it places
within their power the means of adjusting their artificial
teeth under all circumstances without the aid of a dentist.
Teeth stopped with gold and Mr. Eskell's osteoplastic enamel,
which permanently retains the colour and restores the use of
decayed teeth. Consultations Free. Charges strictly mode-
rate.—S, Lower Grosvenor-street.

THE LATE (TAMES GRIFFIN, ESQ.

The hand of death has just snatched from us one
of the oldest and most respected members of our
establishment. Mr. James Griffin, who was for
many years a member of the Parliamentary report-
ing ccrps of the Morning herald, expired yesterday
morning, after a somewhat prolonged illness. This
intelligence will be received with deep regret by
all those to whom the deceased gentleman had
ever become known. To the charms of a refined
and an accomplished intellect Mr. Griffin united a
geniality of temper, a sunshine of the heart which
diffused a contagious and irradiating joyousness
over every circle that ever shared his welcome
presence ; and none of those troubles or disappoint-
ments of life to which the kindliest and the most
unsuspecting natures are necessarily ever the most
subject, seemed capable for a moment of checking his
inherent refinement of feeling or creating in his mind
a shadow of worldly distrust or resentment. He was
one of a rarely endowed family, to whose virtues and
whose talents fortune has hardly awarded an ade-
quate amount of rewards and distinctions, although
one at least of the number, the gentle and gifted
author of "The Collegians" and of " Gysippus "
still holds an honoured place in the annals of our
modern popular literature. James Griffin was one
of the best known members of the profession to which
his life was principally devoted, for a period of not
less than five-and-thirty years ' • he was one of the
few people of his class who could speak from per-
sonal knowledge of the debates of the unreformed
Parliament, and of the brilliant intellectual gladia-
torship of Henry Brougham and of George Can-
ning; and among the younger men by whom he
was surrounded he figured as one of those fine and
noble natures which, by the combination of mature
discernment and of a gracious and cheerful tempera-
ment, seem made to keep alive in the human heart
the faith in an old-world generosity, courtesy, and
kindliness. The place which had known him will
now " know him no more ;" but the friends who
valued him in his lifetime will long tenderly
cherish the gentle and loved memory which sur-
vives his earthly dissolution.--Morning Herald.

most amiable and worthy man.—ED. Sun.]

STRAND.

Miss Swanborough last night made her re-ap-
pearance in a pretty little trifle written expressly
for her, entitled " The Loves of Arcadia." The
plot is very simple. The Chevalier de Merrilac
(Mr. Parselle) and Mdlle. de Launnay (Miss
Swanborough), leave Versailles in disgust, and
betake themselves to woodland solitudes, without
previous arrangement be it understood, as they have
never met, though, by the King's desire, they are
about to be betrothed, and it is this very circum-
stance that has driven them from the court. In a
forest some few miles from Versailles the Chevalier
ar.d the lady meet, and immediately fall in love.
The King breaks in upon their billing and cooing,
and is so charmed by the beauty of the supposed
shepherdess that he insists on her accompanying
him to court. The Chevalier has followed her, and
standing in an open picture frame hears her con-
fess her love for him to the King, and, after a little
imbroglio he is rewarded with her hand. The act-
ing of Miss Swanborough and Mr. Parselle was
capital, and the trifle met with the greatest success.
The scenery and dresses were superb.

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA; showing why they
80 often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COLRTENAY,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the

Cure.of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Deo. Ist, 1858.

TIIE GOV_ERNMENT CORPORATION

REFORM. BILL.

On Saturday a special Court of Common Cosine
was held at Guildhall, for the purpose of further
considering the Government Bill for the Reform
of the Corporation of London, the Lord Mayor pre-
siding. Upon clause 26 of the bill, which pro•
vides that the aldermen who may not be re-elected
shall continue justices of the peace of the City,
and shall continue to hold seats in the Court
of Aldermen, a warm discussion took place, Mr.
H. L. Taylor contending that the aldermen
who were not re-elected should not be entitled
to take any, part in the disposal of the funds, or
have a vote in the Court of Aldermen, although he
agreed with that part of the clause allowing them
to continue to act as justices. It was ultimately
resolved, by a majority of 52 to 32, that that part
of the clause which provides that the aldermen not
re-elected should have seats in the Court of Alder-
men should be opposed, in order that it might be
omitted; and by a majority of 52 to 24, the follow-
ing proviso was proposed to be added to the clause :
—" Provided always that any justice who does not
represent a constituency may be removed from his
office by the Common Council, should they from
any cause consider such justice unfit to dis-
charge the duties of his office." On clause 27,
relative to the election of Lord Mayor, it was re-
solved to maintain the preservation of tho rights of
the Livery to vote in the elections of Lord Mayor
and sheriffs conjntly with the ratepayers; and it
was further resolved, " That no person should be
elected Lord Mayor unless he had served the office
of sheriff." A resolution was proposed by Mr.
Young, to procure the omission of clause 47, which
provides that the accounts of all monies received
and expended by the corporation shall be annually
transmitted to the Secretary of State, and an ab.
stract be laid before Parliament, but it was nega-
tived. After discussing several other clauses the
court adjourned.

STRAND.

Miss Swanborough last night made her re-ap-
pearance in a pretty little trifle written expressly
for her, entitled " The Loves of Arcadia." The
plot is very simple. The Chevalier de Merrilac
(Mr. Parselle) and Md.lle. de Launnay (Miss
Swanborough), leave Versailles in disgust, and
betake themselves to woodland solitudes, without
previous arrangement be it understood, as they have
never met, though, by the King's desire, they are
about to be betrothed, and it is this very circum-
stance that has driven them from the court. In a
forest some few miles from Versailles the Chevalier
ar.d.,_ the lady meet, and immediately fall in love.
The King breaks in upon their billing and cooing,
and is so charmed by the beauty of the supposed
shepherdess that he insists on her accompanying
him to court. The Chevalier has followed her, and
standing in an open picture frame hears her con-
fess her love for him to the King, and, after a little
imbroglio he is rewarded with her hand. The act-
ing of Miss Swanborough and Mr. Parselle was
capital, and the trifle ma with the greatest success.
The scenery and dresses were superb.

TO TILE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I enclose for publication a translation of a
document which has been forwarded to me, by order
of his Excellency the Governor of Venice, and signed
by him. So high a tribute to genius cannot but
prove of great interest to every man of refine-
ment.—l am, sir, yours obediently,

MORRIS MOORE.
(Translation.)
We have the pleasure to communicate to you that in
consequence of your having, with immense success pub-
licly exhibited in Paris,. Munich, Dresden, and Vienna,
in furtherance of pious and
.philanthropic objects, the pic-
ture of Apollo and Marsyas in your possession, and of this
picture having been everywhere acknowledged to be not
only an undoubted original by Raphael, but one of singular
interest, and in consequence, moreover, of your having de-
sired to exhibit the said picture in this Aocademia di Belle
Arti side by side with the corresponding original draw-
ing by Raphael, the Supreme Ministry of Worship and
Public Instruction, in reply to the petition which you
had addressed to it, and in consideration that the
exhibition of your famous picture, side by side with the ori-
ginal drawing belonging to this academy, would be of the
deepest interest to all artists and lovers of art, forwarded
orders to the Government of this Suogotenenza, not only
to grant you the public exhibition of your picture of
" Apollo and Marsyas," side by side with the correspond-
ing drawing belonging to this academy, in a suitable place
in the same, but in every possible way zealously to assist
you towards this object.
At the same time, the Supreme Ministry of Worship and
Public Instruction, in order to protect so great a treasure as
an original picture by Raphael from every possible risk
through inadvertent handling, enjoined the Government
of this Suogotenenza to make arrangements that the usual
Custom-house operations bo waived respecting the case
containing it, especially on your quitting Venice; and that,
above all, be omitted tho opening of it, or the placing of
any seal upon it, lest its contents be endangered.
In the orders given on this head to the Presidency of the
Accademia di Belle Arti, and in the understanding entered
into with the I. R. Prefecture of Finance, you will have
recognised the ready zeal with which the Government of
this Suogotcnenza has fulfilled the high bobcats of the
Supreme Ministry.
In the meantime steps will at once be taken that the name
of Montagna be removed from Raphael's original drawing
of " Apollo and Marsyas," belonging to the Accademia di
Belle Arti of Venice, and that its authenticity be established
in a way to cause all doubt to cease.
Accept the assurance of my highest consideration,
Venice, March 1, 1860. TOGGENBURG.

* The " Apollo and 11arsyas" was not so exhibited at
Paris. At Munich and at Venice it was exhibited in aid
of the Artists' Benevolent Fund; at Dresden and at Vienna,

THE LATE JAMES GRIFFIN, ESQ.

The hand of death has just snatched from us one
of the oldest and most respected members of our
establishment. Mr. James Griffin, who was for
many years a member of the Parliamentary report-
ing corps of the Morning Tlerald, expired yesterday
morning, after a somewhat prolonged illness. This
intelligence will be received with deep regret by
all those to whom the deceased gentleman had
ever become known. To the charms of a refined
and an accomplished intellect Mr. Griffin united a
geniality of temper, a sunshine of the heart which
diffused a contagious and irradiating joyousness
over every circle that ever shared his welcome
presence ; and none of those troubles or disappoint-
ments of life to which the kindliest and the most
unsuspecting natures are necessarily ever the most
subject, seemed capable for a moment of checking his
inherent refinement of feeling or creating in his mind
a shadow of worldly distrust or resentment. He was
one of a rarely endowed family, to whose virtues and
whose talents fortune has hardly awarded an ade-
quate amount of rewards and distinctions, although
one at least of the number, the gentle and gifted
author of " The Collegians" and of " Gysippus "
still holds an honoured place in the annals of our
modern popular literature. James Griffin was one
of the best known members of the profession to which
his life was principally devoted, for a period of not
less than five-and-thirty years ' • he was one of the
few people of his class who could speak from per-
sonal knowledge of the debates of the unreformed
Parliament, and of the brilliant intellectual gladia-
torship of Henry Brougham and of George Can-
ning ; and among the younger men by whom he
was surrounded he figured as one of those fine and
noble natures which, by the combination of mature
discernment and of a gracious and cheerful tempera-
ment, seem made to keep alive in the human heart
the faith in an old-world generosity, courtesy, and
kindliness. The place which had known him will
now " know him no more ;" but the friends who
valued him in his lifetime will long tenderly,
cherish the gentle and loved memory which sur-
vives his earthly dissolution.—Morning Herald.
[We cordially concur in the above tribute to a
most amiable and worthy man.—ED. Sun.]

DRURY-LANE.

A new three act drama, entitled " Christmas
Eve, or the Duel in the Snow," was produced here
last night. The object of the piece is to introduce
a grand tableau of the celebrated French painting,
" The duel after the Masquerade," which all lovers
of art must be well acquainted with. The author has
invented a very telling plot, and it is worked out
very well by Messrs. Emery, Verner, Roxby, Miss
Page, and Miss E. Howard. The story is briefly
as follows :—A certain Charles Andry, a poor poet,
secures the assistance of a certain elderly lady, and
owing to her patronage he tins in public estima-
tion, and eventually marries the lady, who is im-
mensely rich. The marriage turns out an ill-assorted
one, as Charles discovers that the real object
of his affection is a young and beautiful girl,
Emily Londale. The wife discovers the cause of
her husband's uneashies,,, und in mistake swallows
poison, which Sir Charles hp.d mixed for himself.
At the commencement of the second act we find Sir
Charles married to his lady love, but borne down
by melancholy, caused by the dreadful death of his
first wife. The young lady, not liking the gloomy
character of her husband, whom she expected to
find a gay, light-hearted man of fashion, elopes
with a certain Captain Dashford, a seeming friend
of Sir Charles. Sir Charles, after a lot; search,
finds the destroyer of his wife's fame at a masked
ball in Paris, in the disguise of on Indian chief.
Satisfaction is demanded; and then we kave a grand
tableau—" The duel after the Masquerade"—the re-
sult of which is death to both parties engaged in
the conflict. The characters were all well sup-
ported, especially that of a coquettish lady's maid,
by Miss E. Howard, who bids fair to become a
finished actress. The scenery of the play is well
painted, especially the Bois de Boulogne, with the
telling effect of falling snow.
The piece was given out for repetition every
evening until further notice by Mr. Emery.
London, England, 1860-03-13

nor was it imagined, that the purchasers would get them
cheaper, and the only parties possibly who would benefit by
the abolition of the duty would be the rag dealers, the paper
makers, and the publishers. ,(Hear, hear.) Mr. Bohn, the
publisher, had given some particulars with reel ect to the
effect of the duty upon a few standard works, and it ap-
peared from those that the tax upon the " Annual Register,"
which cost 18s., amounted to 3d. ; upon o volumes of
Lord Macaulay's " History of England," which cost 365.,
to 6d. ; upon Colenso's " Arithmetic," costing 4s. 6d., to a
halfpenny; and upon the " Cornhill Magazine," juice ls.,
to &halfpenny. Now he asked whether the consumers of

knowledge would be one fraction benefited by the total abo •
lition of the tax ? (Hear, hear.) There might be some trades
which would be benefited, bat in respect to literature he did
not see how, in the face of those facts, it could be contended
that any benefit could accrue. Take the common schools

THE ENCOUNTER WITH BURGLARS NEAR WOL-
VERMAMPTON.—SamueI Jones, the burglar—the details of
whose capture while in the act of robbing a dwelling-house
were given last week—was brought up yesterday at the
petty sessions, Willenhall. There was an immense and
excited crowd round the court-house during the proceedings,
and the chief and deputy .chief constables of the district were
present. Mr. Benjamin Guy, residing at Portobello, near
Wolverhampton, deposed that on Monday night week he
went to bed, having previously ascertained that the doors and
windows were all secure. About half-past two the following
morning he was awoke by two men bursting into his bedroom.
One of these men was the prisoner,v;ho carried a candle in one
hand and in the other a life-preserver, and had a black mask
on his face. Prosecutor immediately got out of bed, and
made towards them. The prisoner at once dealt a blow
with his life-preserver, inflicting a wound on prosecutor's
forehead. Mr. Guy continued--I then struck out at them,
and we struggled and fought together. I had prisoner
down, and he said to the other, "Lay on him ; kill the
b—." He also said, "Be stout, Jack, or we shall be '
taken." lat length got both of them down, but the one
who escaped cut me across the wrist with a knife, so that I
was obliged to let go, and he then leaped out of the window.
William Guy, the prosecutor's nephew, who had also been
much beaten, on going to his uncle's assistance, was next
examined, and the shirts of both were produced, saturated
with blood. Police•constable Sheldon deposed to hearing
shouts of murder, and finding Mr. Guy struggling with the
prisoner, whom he secured. and handcuffed. The prisoner
was 1411 Y C94ligitted for trod At do 0401a904
