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 thus
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
ever. It is invaluable for Front Teeth. Attendance daily
from Ten till Six. Consultations free. Mr. EDWARD
DAVIESON, Electric Telegraph Office, 448, West Strand,
London. The descriptive pamphlets free for two stamps.

ITALIAN PROSPEC:

" Italy," says M. Grandguillot, "is now entering
the most critical and most decisive pa riod of her
regeneration. Henceforth she stakes on a single
card either her ruin or her salvation." It is, then,
true, according to the information of t; he Foreign-
office at Paris, that the programme whi ch has been
passed about for some days in Londt in circles is
about to be put in action. They who of fight. to be
best instructed in these matters do, then , really be-
lieve that Garibaldi is about immediate. ly to pass
over to the Continent, and to render :Ft aly within
two months " free and completely inAl ependent."
These are large words. They seem to c omprehend
much more than the mere capture of Na ples. They
lend an air of authority to all we ha' ri recently
heard of expeditions to proceed from th n Legations
and from Tuscany to the frontiers of the Roman
States, of insurrections suddenly to br trst forth in
Rome, and of a liberating army at these one moment
to descend in the Bay of Naples. T, ii ese things,
although well vouched from many sepal ti de-sources,
seemed to sober men but the dreams ty.f a distem-
pered imagination. It could not be tNat Italy,
which had in one year acquired mo rti territory
than even the first Napoleon had ever a cquired in
a campaign, which had consolidated itself in twelve
months into a kingdom, and had from. a geogra-
phical expression taken rank as a palp v.ble Euro-
pean Power—it could not be that thi s prudent,
successful, prosperous Italy could be fo and pro-
voking the onslaught of Austria. We co ald not so
discredit a great cause as attribute to it s o great a
madness. Here, however, is a sort of cot ifirmation
of this rumour, signed by a name which carries
with it a higher authority than its own.:—"ltaly
will within two months be either free and com-
pletely independent, or Austria will again reign,
and this time from Messina to Turin."

That any such concerted designs should ever
have been formed would seem impossible: if Gari-
baldi were a man governed by ordinary views of
prudence or probability. But men who .can weigh
and measure are not the men who win battles
against odds, and emancipate kingdoms •with par-
tisan warriors And guerilla bands. 'We have
again and again declared our belief that Garibaldi
is the Washington of these latter days, pure in his
object and unselfish in his aims. But when we say
of a man who is acting as Garibaldi acts that he is
not a vulgar brigand, we admit him to be an en-
thusiast. In the life of such a man nothing is im-
possible. He may break with France waile he
attacks Austria, and he may occupy himself at the
same time with revolutionising Naples, consolidat-
ing Sicily, and conquering the old Metropolis for
the new kingdom which he has thought it glory
enough to create. To any other than the eye of
genius all this seems maoness, and the dreams of
genius, although sometimes successful, have gene-
rally to be read by contraries. What Italy has
already done, and so rapidly done, has been done
by doing one thing at a time., She, with the aid of
her potent ally has driven back the invading Aus-
trians, has pursued them into and out of their own
territories. She has, with this good assistance,
annexed Lombardy. Again, she has, without
any assistance, and in spite of an agreement
between her ally and her enemy to the con-
trary, annexed Tuscany and annexed the Le-
gations. She has Naples now within her
grasp. She has only to put forth her hand and
seize it. All that Southern kingdom must fall
without an effort if attacked singly. Every day
we are told that Garibaldi is gone over to take the
offered prey. The Bourbon baubles are ready
packed, the Palace at Vienna is ready designated,
the ships are at the mole ;—the mind of Europe is
made up to the annexation of Naples as a fait
accompli. When that is done nothing remains
but a slice of Italy interposed between the two
parts of the great Italian kingdom. That slice, it
is true, contains the great old historic Metropolis,
which may again be the mother city of Italy, if
Italy is ever to be again a nation. Empire and
Religion and Art are all buried there, ready, as
Italians believe, to arise at the first blast of free-
dom. Of course, Italy without Rome would be
absurd. But Rome has a French garrison—it is
held by a potentate who declares loudly that he
likes not the cause in which he holds it, and that
he is ready to give it up upon small excuse. Surely
it would be better to wait till we can satisfy him as

to the excuse ? Venice, again, is very Italian.
Italy without Venice would be like one of her own
buried statues dug up mutilated. But Venice has
500,000 Austrians behind her walls as surely as Rome
has 600,000 Frenchmen, who must all be conquered
before France can in honour surrender the post she
holds to force. Common sense would counsel that
even the most adventurous bravery should be con-
tent to leave that very tottering Popedom to fallin
the midst of its unwilling supporters, and to make
the Italian nation so strong that the course of events
must make it complete.
But what means this covert threat which France
at this moment puts forth through M. Grand-
guillot ? Are we to understand that upon the
occurrence of some undefined and hitherto un-
forbidden circumstance,
such as the landing of
an army of roving liberators in Naples, the
Austrian flood will again be let loose, that the
Quadrilateral will open its many gates, and
pour forth its armies ; that the rivers of the plain
will be again crossed, Lombardy swallowed up,
Piedmont driven to bay and destroyed at another
Novara ? Are we to consider it certain that in such

a case the Duchies, the Romagna, and Tuscany will
be again reduced, and all Italy restored to a level,
beaten plain with the flats of Austrian sabres? is
it possible that there can be such a contingency in
French eyes as that " Austria will again reign from
Messina to Turin ? " It is very difficult to recon-
cile such a possibility with those State papers which
have declared so positively that all Austrian inter-
ference with Italian affairs is become for ever im-
possible. It would be a strange end to the cam-
paign of 1859, and a singular consequence of Sol-
ferino, if Italy were indeed to become again
Austrian from Messina to Turin. But it is impos-
sible to look far into futurity when Emperors have
the Fates in their pay, and we should recommend
Italy not to be too rash in risking all she has, and
not to lean too trustfully either on the friendship
of Napoleon 111. or on the forbearance of Francis
Joseph.— Times.
