NIR. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet•
2 street, has ntroduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
FICIAL TEETH ,fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the nateral teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
oi,ration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and ;that Mr.
Iloward's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo-
mical, he has fixed the charges at the lowest scale possible. De-

CRYS I'AL PALACE.—WET or DRY, it
presents the certainty of Amusement, Recreation, or

CRYSTAL PALACE.—Entire re-organisation
of the Refreshment Depirtment.—Messrs. SAWYER and
STRANGE, of the London, Fleet• street, having taken this department,
feel it to be but due to the public and to themselves to state the ar-
rangements by which they hope to secure the patronage of all c'asses
of visitors to the Palace. In embarking upon this responsible under-
taking, they feel that their surest expectation of success recta on
their henceforth rendering the REFRESHMENT DEPARTMENT
a splendid and distinctive feature in the general attractions. Their
first act, which has the sanction of the directors, will be to throw
open a series of magnitic tnt saloons in those localities of the
Palace commanding the best views of the grounds, the fountains,
and the exquisite scenery of the surroanding country. It Is
confid ntly hoped that every class of the community visiting the
Palace will find both their tastes and their purses consulted in the
refreshment arrangements ; for while the cuisine will contain
everything that is recherché in the best English clubs, ample
accommodation will be afforded to that large class who may
wish to study e.tonomy, and at the same time seek comfort.
It will be the aim of the hew proprietors to give the public
as many facilities for enjoying the pleasures of the table as they
could expect at the best houses of entertainment, either at the
West End or in the City. It is hoped that by a system of manage-
ment at once liberal and economic, the holders of season tickets and
families will be induced to avail themselves of the opportunities
about to be afforded of dining well and che:.ply. The arrangements
for the general public must necessarily be of a very comprehensive
character, and Ivhile the proprietors undertake to satisfy the most
refined tastes, they will not neglect the more simple ones. By a
judicious blending of the English with the foreign forms of the culi-
nary art they hope to make the defartment worthy of that world-
wide patronage which is bestowed on the Palace itseV. A novel
feature will consist in the construction of a suite of smoking rooms,
which will he of easy access from the refreshment saloons. The
refreshments are now supplied by the new proprietors, but imme-
diate notice will be given of the completion of the larger arrange
melds.

STATE OF TRADE.

MAN CHESTER, APRIL 1.
Since Tuesday the business done in India shirtings
and T clothe has led to rather more steadiness in prices.
Stocks have been considerably lessened, and some sales
have been made for future delivery. In other respects
there is little or no change. The cotton market con-
tinues easy, with large arrivals whenever the wind is
favourable. Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co., in
their monthly circular, dated yesterday, state the de•
cline in prices since the let of March at lid. to 3d. per
piece on 7-Bths printers, lid. on madapollams, 2d. to
4d. on 9-Bths printers, 3d. to 6d. on 9-Bths shirtings,
4id. to 63. on 5-4ths shirtings, 6d. to 7id. on figured
shirtings, ld. to 3d, on jaconets, 33. to 6d. on T clothe,
about 6d. on long cloths per piece ; and Id. to 1-16 d.
(in some cases id.) per yard on domestics. Yarns id.
to ld., and in some cases lid. per lb. lowa. Prices
are still, however, considerably above the rates which
were accepted in December.
Messrs. Robert Freeland and Brother in their monthly
circular report :-
" The greatly reduced stock of cotton in Liverpool at
the end of February had led to extreme prices for the
raw material, which caused spinners and nia""
lecturers to be unwilling sellers of their produc-
done, except at equally extreme rates. But these
were very generally resisted by buyers, and
transactions in yarn and cloth at the high rates
were of very limited extent. The arrivals of cotton in
the month of March, however, have been so unusually
large as to alter the position of the market very mate-
rially. Middling Orleans cotton has receded from the
highest point about ld. per lb., and ordinary qualities
lid. So far, the Manchester market has not yielded in
an equal ratio ; and hence the continued reluctance on
the part of buyers to operate except for the Eastern
markets, for which a considerable amount of orders had
accumulated during the last two months.
On comparing the shipments of cotton piece goods
and yarns for the month with those of last year for the
same time there is very little difference in the sum total,
being 79,606 packages against 82,134. But a compari-
son of specific markets shows a considerable variation.
The falling off to the continent of Europe and nearly all
ie yarn, is large-to Hamburg,3,7s4, and to Rotterdam,
1,831 bales. There is also a decrease to Constantinople
of 2,329 packager. There is a similar falling off to the
Brazils. On the other hand, there is an increase to
nearly all the Eastern markets :-to Calcutta, 1 858
packages ; Bombay, 1,832 ; Madras, 1,334 ; Manilla,
1,538 • Sinopore, 800 ; and there is an increase to
Shanghai of 3,362 packages.
The following classification of the exports shows the
proportion shipped to the various markets of the world-

"The Liverpool cotton-market has been very dull and
depressed throughout the month, and prices of the cur-
rent American qualities, which had reached a relatively
higher point than other kinds, have rapidly declined.
Importers so far have been realising a profit upon the
late arrivals, and hence have sold very freely ; hut we
must shortly receive cotton, which has not been laid in
so favourably, and which will not be so freely pressed
upon the market.
"In yarn there has been very little business done
during the month, and prices have gradually given way,
but not to such an extent as to induce much buying.
Within the last day or two some orders have been given
out where spinners were disposed to take very low prices,
but as yet the demand is by no means general or active.
The goods market, also, has been influenced by the down-
ward tendency of cod in, and prices have been very irre-
gular. Very few transactions took place at the high
rates. 9-Bths and 7-Bths printing cloths may be quoted
6d. per piece lower, for the double piste ; Madapollams,
4d. to 70. for 46 yards ; Jaconets, 2d. to 3d. per piece ;
T-cloths and long clothe, 3d. to 40. per piece ; and do-
mestics about yd. per yard. India and China shirtings
have given way about 9d. per piece, which concession
appears to attract buyers.
