mR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrip-
tion of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro n the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and wilt support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

' tage of being on British soil, al td doing their
business before their proprietor's eye:, it was natural
for these investments to grow in fr.vour, and to
absorbbich moneya vastw

noefd
capital
encouraged elireetors to
ease . with
w
extend operations, and the officials arid cot, tractors
by whom they were surrounded, profiting t.,;* the
works, urged their construction. A railway
gaged in extensions may find it difficult correctly
to ascertain net profits; and it was pleasant to all
concerned to figure up on balance-sheets the hand-
some returns which authorised good dividends. The
higher the dividend the more inviting the invest-
ment, and the freer the flow of money into the
directors' coffers, till hard times arrived and capital
accounts had to be closed. Then came the noses
hitherto carried so high down to the grindstone, and
uncommonly disagreeable it was. There are those who
affirm that few railways in England can honestly
pay a dividend. Though an exaggeration, yet
there is this much truth in the assertion, that if the
capital account of every railway was rigidly closed,
some would work at a loss, others only pay their
way, and few divide the dividends till recently cus-
tomary. 'What is true of English railways is, in a
lesser degree, true of all the joint-stock industrial
undertakings of Great Britain, for the public have
carried the rule of investing only within the
realm. to the length of expending on the island a
greater artount of capital than its recuperative
powers can bear, and hence the late collapse. Hav-
ing overdone the principle, it is now necessary to
look abroad for a safe means of securing fair re-
turns for money. Given, a good Government, a
steady, industrious people, and the true point to
ascertain is the productive power of the soil. The
United States and the colonies of Great Britain
possess these requisites in a greater degree than
other countries, and therefore arc the best fields for
safe and profitable investments. The cautious man
of business who, years ago, scouted an American
railway, freely took the shares of the Great
Eastern, the Great Western, the London and
Brighton—all such splendid concerns that it
may be for years, or it may be for ever,
before they pay their proprietors more than a mere
pittance. The cautious man of business who has
thus safely sunk his money so deep in English soil
that he is never likely to see it again, has at least
the satisfaction of knowing that the scouted Ame-
rican railway is returning at least 10 per cent., with
the certainty of an increase. The principle of be-
lieving only in an investment one can see, springs
from the same natural law of caution which in-
duces an old woman to consider a stocking well
filled with gold up the chimney the most secure
bank. In particular instances she may be right,
but as a general rule sho is wrong, and so it is with
the rule of confining your investments to the country
in which you live. From the Wall-street Journal
of October 26 we extract the following table, show-
ing the increase in the receipts of sixteen prominent
American railroads for the month of September
this year over the same month of last year :

* Decrease, $43,202.

The average increase in the gross earnings of
,hose roads is 17i per cent.

It will be observed that there is a decrease in the
Atlantic and Great Western, an English line in
truth, constructed in America, which points the
moral to invest only in un3ertakings freely sub-
scribed to by inhabitants on the spot. No doubt
confidence will often be betrayed, yet the rule holds
on the balance being struck that the returns will be in
proportion to the productive wealth of the country,
other things being equal. It may be safely taken
as a truism, that whether money be put in banks or
railways, in loan societies, in land, or steam packet
companies, established in any of the British colonies,
that the returns will eventually be in proportion to
the wealth of the soil. And so it is with the States
of the Union. Rich land will make wealthy an in-
dustrious population, and any industrial enterprise
established on th 3 rich land will partake of the pros-
perity. Recent events have proved that such under-
takings have been overdone in England, and it is
therefore necessary for men with money to lay out to
turn their attention abroad. The greatest field is
the United States of America, and the more it is
studied the better satisfied people will- be with its
powers of yielding large returns for money judi-
ciously placed.—Anglo-American Times.
