to have it from the hands of a man like our author, who has per-

R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-

E (MAL TEETH ,fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the 'lateral teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
iecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
o? Tation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo-

being discoveredihe was still alive, he was at once
taken on board a si earner which landed him at Chat-
ham Dockyard, when he was conveyed to Melville
Hospital ; but from the injuries he has inflicted on
himself itis.not expected that he will recover.
Col. Bell, Inspecting Field Officer at Liverpool,
approved and sent off to join their respective corps
4,000 men within the last three months, exclusive
of great numbers forwarded direct to head-quarters
from out-stations in the district.

tinent in 1794 ; was at the siege of Cadiz, and at
the battle of Barossa under Gen. Graham, after-
wards Lord Lynedoch, and received the Peninsu-
la

r war medal and Clasp for 13arossa ; he was
knighted by George 111. fur his general services,
especially at Gibraltar during the pestilential fever
in 1804-5. He was one of the English who were
confined in the Temple during the revolutionary
period in Paris. On his retirement from the ser-
vice he was honourably mentioned by the Lords
of the Treasury in a minute dated March 3, 1815.
He was Senior Fellow of the Royal College of Phy-
sicians, and a magistrate and Deputy-Lieutenant
of the county of Hants. Sir James was elder
brother of Admiral Sir Thomas Fellowea, who died
in 1853.

A YEAR OF .RETOLUTION.

This narrative of Lord Normanby is calculated
to disappoint, and we learn that it has disappointed,
its readers. It has neither the tucidus ordo of his-
tory nor the charm of an unreserved record of
facts. Lord Normanby could not reveal all ho had
learnt in his private communications as au English
Minister of State, and he had not in any other
function or capacity the means of learning very
much more than other people. On the one hand
his book is defective from his deference to political
usages, which he was bound to respect; and, on
the other hand, it is neither a lively nor compre-
hensive narrative of transactions which took place
in sight of the world. It reveals very little ; it is
not succinct ; it is not picturesque ; it is not philo-
sophical. It is simply a contemporary memoir of
the average stamp, containing a few additions to
our previous knowledge which journalists will wel-
come and historians will not disdain. But it may
be, as we slid, disappointing to most people, and
yet be very far from a failure if there are any who
can profit by it now or hereafter.
As to the causes of what is termed the " Revolu-
tion de Mepris," there are some observations here
confirmatory for the most part of the views
hitherto generally entertained in this country.
The constitutional system of France was so
tampered with by the King, there was so much of
his direct interference with its action, that it was
only sustained at all in the face of the country by a
vast apparatus of jobbery and corruption. The ex-
tent to which the corruption was sanctioned by a
man so respectable as M. Guizot, and the justice or
injustice of the imputations made against him, is a
doubtful, a difficult, and a delicate question. Yet
the Marquis of Normanby hardly leaves us in doubt
of his verdict oa this question could he state it
without restraint. He remarks without a syllable
of deprecation the unpopularity which M. Guizot
in consequence incurred, whilst his strongest phrases
are employed to rebuke the self-confidence of the
statesman who imagined that if he had been reso-
lutely supported be could under such circumstances
have remained master of the situation. His lord-
ship does not, indeed, sufficiently inform the rogder
when or where M. Guizot maintained this position,
nor does his want of explicitness generally on the
subject of M. Guizot's fall afford that statesman or
his friends a fair opening for an answer. The Mar-
quis, we should remember, succeeded to his office
of Ambassador a short time previous to the an-
nouncement of the Spanish marriages, as to which it
is his impression "that there had been no settled
plan of the King brought to destined maturity, but
that the Minister fore-talled the half-formed inten-
tions of his Sovereign, and the Ambassador, find-
ing an opportunity which might never recur of
securing what he had been taught to consider a
great national object, exceeded the instructions of
the Minister, and committed his Government." On
the supposition, therefore, that M. Guizot was more
to blame than the King we can understand Lord
Normanby's evident antipathy to the former. But
we are not satisfied that he assigns his full share in
the transaction to the Royal personage who "showed
a restless desire to explain his conduct," and who
listened to his lordship on this subject with such
" courteous and condescending attention." If hf lays
so small a portion of the blame on this eminent
performer, and on the other hand, entertained such
"friendly personal relations" with the Ambassador
in question, the unfortunate Breseon, we can under-
stand the concentration of his Lordship's indigna-
tion on M. Guizot as the intermediate but chief
delinquent, and that his consequent antipathy
might lead him to judge that Minister too harshly
in other respects as well as in this. Such, at least,
is our impression on a point of some obscurity, and
such is toe doubt which couples itself here with
Lord Normanby's animadversions.
Lord Normanby, however, though leas generally
informed than Mr. Raikes, had some opportunities
of observing the King's confirmed want of candour,
and he mentions one inferior specimen of this per-
versity. On the Ist of March, when the Reform
banquets were under discussion, he says—
" I went that' night to the Tuileries without learning
the decision of the Opposition deputies ; as hie Majesty
had often volunteered to speak to me upon his own affairs
I th lit it be might do EO then, and I was pre.

medicine vendors throughout the United Kingdom* spoke to mo for some time with great animation, but

"It is to be remarked that the Provisional Govern-
ment (as I have good reason to know) were very desirous
he should make his escape. His Majesty's only danger,
therefore, was from popular frenzy, which there might
not be power on the spot to resist.
"On his arrival in England where, he was received
with every demonstration of sympathy and respect, he
astonished those who came out to inset him, by the
levity of his department. All who have ever been
brought into social contact with his Majesty are aware
of a remarkable deficiency in his nature ; he never had
the slightest sentiment of personal dignity, and upon
this occasion the most extraordinary circumstance in the
history of this extraordinary man is that in quitting the
throne he seemed to have lost all feeling of identity or
moral connexion with the individual who had ceased to
occupy it. He seemed to consider the whole merely as
a drama, in which he bad ceased to play his accustomed
part, and to believe that he could separate himself
completely from the character he had formerly assumed,
and discuss it with all the freedom of a bystander."
The nomination of M. Cremieux as one of the
members of the Provisional Government was, ac-
cording to Lord Normanby, owing to his own adroit
impudence. When the mob invaded the Chamber
M. Marie first proposed the names of Lamartine,
Ledru Rollin, Arago, Gartner Pages, and himself,
as a Provisional Government, and Lamartine added
at the head of the list that of M. Dupont de l'Eure,
whose patriarch al experience in revolutions had given
to his respected name a pre-eminence whieh his years
prevented from being more than nominal. M. La-
martine proposed also that Dupont de l'Eure should
occupy the President's chair, and urged him to pro-
claim a Provisional Government, handing him for
the purpose the six names aforesaid ; but it is said
that, amid the deafening tumult, the names written
down by Lamartine could not be heard when read
from the President's chair by poor old Dupont
de l'Eure. The latter then transferred to the list
to the person standing next to him, who having
a weak voice, was equally inaudible, and as it was
impossible that no time should be lost, these names
were then given to M. Cremieux, who had the lungs
of Stentor, and he added his name, which was,
amid all the confusion, adopted with the others.
" Thus was appropriated, for the moment, one
seventh of absolute dominion over 35,000,000 of
people." A friend of Lord Normanby's, to whom
he afterwards mentioned this anecdote, and who
was at the time in office, corroborated it by adding
that he himself was the man with the weak voice,
and %hat the anecdote was true.

The further explanation of the process by which
the seven became eleven is another proof how easy it
is to filch a share of a soi-disant popular dictator-
ship. The four extras had been named secretaries,
and as such had signed the decrees new the bottom
of the page ; but little by little they
crept up and
mixed themselves with the others ; the adjutant of
secretaries was then omitted, and they came to have
a consultative voice with those first named. M. de
Lamartine could not explain the stages in this
usurpation, but, according to Lord Nor:nandy, they
occurred in this succession. The first proclamation
of the Gouvernement Provisoire stated that---
" II est compos6 de

" MM. DUPONT DE i;EURE.
LAMARTINE.
CREMIEUX.
ARAGO.
LEDRI.ROLLIg.
GARNIER-PAGES.
MARIE.
"Ce Gouvernement a pour Secretairea—
" MM. ARMAND MARBA9T.
FERDINAND FLO coN•
ALBERT."
And in this form they signed their first decrees.
The first change was that the list was headed,
" Les Membres du Gouvernement Provisoire ;" but
Loma BLANC.
there was no longer any hiatus left between the
first seven and the last four, who were no
longer
announced as secretaries to the others. The next
proclamation completed the usurpation, as the
words "'timbres du Go UN rnement Prouisoire were
placed at the bottom instead of at the top of the
eleven names, so as directly to include them all.
Ledru Rollin, in consequence, obtained the support
of a minority, instead of standing alone as the repre-
sentative of extreme opinions.The moderate sec-
tion of the Government was thus neutralized, and
its policy to a certain extent was influenced. So
much was accomplished by these tricky slips of pen-
manship ; results which are ordinarily due to the
strong arm, were here obtained by
sleight of hand,
literally by the legerdemain of successful revolu-
tionists.

"I inquired of M. Bastide whether it was a,certained
what amount of truth there was in the reports of cruel-
ties said to have been committed by the insurgents.
He replied he regretted to believe that there had been
no exaggeration on that point. It was quite true that
to many of the balls had been attached poisoned linen,
which had caused death in many cases where the wound
itself was not mortal. The balls were also formed to
make the worst possible wounds ; sometimes with a
pieca of pointed brass stuck into them.
"The decomposition of the bodies was also unusually
rapid. A bundle of poisoned lint was taken to one of
the hospitals ; it was only upon seeing the agony it
occasioned that it was examined by the surgeons, and
found to have been steeped in some corrosive liquid. A
pump was seized behind the Barriere Rochehonard, the
reservoir of which was half-full of oil of vitriol, which
these ruffians pumped in the faces of the attacking
party. The story of the poisoned brandy, sold by the
cantiniers, was not confirmed ; bit it had not been at
once contradicted, from authority, as it was calculated
to prevent so much drunkenness at a moment when so
many men from various parts are collected in Paris. All
that has been said of the cruelties practised on the
Garde Mobilo is true. In one place they took four or
five of these children, who had surrendered as prisoners,
stuck a pike through their throats under the chin, tied
their hands down, and, placing them in front of a win-
dow, fired between their legs, thinking the soldiers
would not return the fire when they saw the Mobiles.
They cut also off a head from one, filled the mouth with
pitch, lighted a Match in it, and danced round to the
tune of 'Lee Larapions.' Having serprised a small
corps de garde filled with Mobiles, they killed them all
in cold blood ; and some female monsters amused them
selves with cutting out their tongues and stringing them
upon a cord."
These facts may account for some of our critics
of the French Press expressing such a faint abhor-
rence of the atrocities of the sepoys.—Times.
