MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,

tion of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. Tbey so perfectly re,emble the natural teeth
as not to be distingu shed 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 ~e extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will 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.

The Reform Demonstration in Hyde Park.

The grand demonstration in favour of Parlia-
mentary Reform has not terminated so peaceably as
its promoters anticipated. When it became known
that the police had received instructions to prevent
the meeting being held in Hyde Park a written no-
tice was forwarded by the " Demonstration Com-
mitte" to the various sub-committees, to the effect
that the members were to march in procession to
tho Park, and if prevented from entering it were
then to form four deep and proceed by way of
Grosvenor-place, -Victoria-street, and past the House
of Parliament to Trafalgar-square. The notice
also alluded to the circumstance of the police acting
under the orders of a Tory Government, and con-
cluded by exhorting those to whom it was addressed
to show by their peaceable and orderly conduct that
they were determined to have manhood suffrage and
the ballot. In accordance with arrangements proces-
sions were formed shortly after five o'clock yester-
day afternoon in the different metropolitan districts
included within the operations of the Reform
League. The preliminary proceedings at Clerken-
well-green were almost an exact counterpart of
what took place at the other starting-places. At
half-past 4 o'clock about 50 persons were collected
round an empty waggon near the drinking fountain.
This crowd gradually increased, until, at half-past
5, some two or three hundred people were collected
round the waggon, which was taken possession of
by the leaders of the expedition, who were distin-
guishable by their wearing red sashes and other
badges of office. A Mr. Coffey commenced the
proceedings by delivering a speech, in which he de-
nounced the conduct of the Government in giving
orders to close Hyde Park against the advocates of
Reform, and declared that the Reform League were
fully determined to have the question tried whe-
ther the parks were the property of the Crown,
or of the people who paid for them. He trusted,
however, that the people would go quietly
and use no violence whatever. No amount of ad-
vertising, he observed, could have made the meeting
so generally known as the notice which had been
issued by Sir Richard Mayne. After some severe
remarks on the aristocracy in general and the Earl
of Shaftesbury in particular, Mr. Coffey concluded
amid general cheering by declaring his belief that if
the people did not get the right of voting the sooner
they left the country by millions the better. Some
other speeches were delivered, and then the audience
formed in procession, and preceded by a drum and
fife band marched through Hatton-garden to Hol-
born, and thence along Oxford-street to the Marble
Arch. During its progress through the city the
procession met with no interruption, owing to the
conduct of the city police, who caused vehicles to
stop until it had passed by. The Reformers com-
plained, however, that as soon as they had got be-
yond Holborn-bars very little attention was paid to
their comfort and convenience by the metropolitan
police, who sought rather to prevent any undue ob-
struction of the ordinary traffic.
Meanwhile vast crowds had collected in the neigh-
bourhood of Hyde Park. A force of foot and mounted
police, numbering 1,600 or 1,800, was here assem-
bled under the direction of Sir Richard Mayne and
Captain Harris, and at 5 o'clock the gates were
closed. Before that hour a considerable number of
people had collected inside, in order to witness what
was about to take place, and these were permitted to
remain there. Outside the throng was, as might be
supposed, much greater. Masses of people had as-
sembled at all the approaches. The Marble Arch was
the centre of attraction, and for an hour or two pre-
vious to the proposed commencement of the demon-
stration the traffic was seriously impeded. The win-
dows and balconies of the neighbouring houses were
also crowded with spectators. Shortly after 7 o'clock
Mr. Edmond Beales, Lieut.-Col. Dickson, and other
leading members of the Reform League, in a line of
cabs which headed the Clerkenwell, Islington, and
other processions, advanced to the Arch, and the
sub-committee having succeeeded in making a
clear passage, Mr. Beales and his friends went
up to the police, who were drawn up in line,
staves in hand, some of them being mounted. The
crowd immediately closed in, and endeavoured by
an " ugly rush" to effect admission. The police used
their staves freely to defeat this attempt, and it is
stated that both Mr. Beales and Col. Dickson were
struck in the scuffle. At any rate, after being re-
fused admission, and having thus raised the ques-
tion in the form they desired, they went back to
their vehicles, and with some difficulty managed to
make their way through the crowd in order to pro-
ceed to Trafalgar-square, there to hold the meeting,
according to the program me which had been laid
down.

Printed bills were distributed among the various
detachments as they came up from Clerkenwell,
Southwark, Finsbury, &c., directing them not to
attempt to force an entrance into the Park, but to
proceed to Trafalgar-square. It is much easier,
however, to collect throngs of people than to keep
them in leading-strings when collected, and a large
portion of the " masses" were not disposed to follow
implicitly the instructions of their leaders. The
gates, it is true, were strongly fortified, but to throw
down the railings seemed a feasible undertaking,
and this was promptly attempted. The police, indeed,
hastened to every point that was attacked, and for
a short time kept the multitude at hay ; but their
numbers were utterly insufficient to guard so long a
line of frontier, and breach after breach was made,
the stonework, together with the railings, yielding
easily to the pressure of the crowd. The first open-
ing was made in the Bayswater-road, where the
police, rushing to the spot, prevented for a time any
considerable influx of people ; but they could not
be übiquitous, and along Park-lane especially a
great extent of railing was speedily overturned, till
in the end the crowd entered ad libitum. A good
deal of scuffling attended these incursions. The
police brought their truncheons into active use, and
a number of the " roughs " were somewhat se-
-1 verely handled. One man, who was stated to be
a mechanic named Field, received serious injury
on the head, and was carried off insensible to
St. George's Hospital. It is said that he had just
thrown a brickbat at a policeman. A man named
Tyler, living at New-road, Chelsea, also received
blows on the head, and was taken to the hospital,
as were likewise others whose injuries were of a less
serious character. The police, on the other hand, did
not come off unscathed. One of them, named
Penny, received a thrust in the side from an iron
bar ; another was knocked off his horse by sticks
and stones, and several others sustained slight inju-
ries. Stones were thrown at Sir R. Mayne, who, as
well as his men, was much hooted. Between 40 and
50 persons were taken into custody in the vicinity
of the Marble Arch, and about as many more at the
other approaches. Many of the leaders of the crowd
exerted themselves to prevent a breach of the peace,
and Mr. Bradlaugh got considerably hustled for so
doing, falling under the suspicion of being a Go-
vernment spy. About 8 o'clock a company of the
Grenadier Guards and a troop of the Life Guards
entered the Park, but toolate to prevent the influx of
the people, for, though the gates were still jealously
guarded, breaches had been effected in every direc-
tion in the palings, and the military, who were loudly
cheered by the crowd, confined themselves to ma-
noeuvres, the only effect of which was to oblige the
mob occasionally to shift their position. The num-
bers in the Park were by this time very large,
and although of course there were a considerable
number of " roughs," who look on the police as
their natural enemies, many of the persons present
appeared to be quiet and respectably dressed people,
who had simply been attracted by curiosity, and
showed no uproarious or even political proclivi▪ ties.
Speeches were made at various spots, one of the
orators being a Miss Harriet Laws, who delivered a
very fervid address on the political and social ri▪
ghts
of the people.
At one of the meetings, held near the Marble Arch,

4d.
STAMPED sd.

and presided over by Mr. De Gruyther, the follow-
ing resolution was passed, on the motion of Mr.
Cuthberton, seconded by Mr. Tomkins :—That this
meeting condemns in the most emphatic and unquali-
fied terms the attempt on the part of the Ministry to
rule the country by force, and their recklessness in
compromising the dignity of the Government by
wantonly provoking a collision bctweeu the people
and the officers appointed to keep the peace, and re-
solves that a deputation of not more than six per-
sons wait on her Majesty with a petition, signed by
the chairman, in the name of the meeting, request-
ing the dismissal of Earl Derby and his colleagues,
and the appointment of a Ministry who have a better
appreciation of the value of the lives of her Ma-
jesty's subjects and of what is due to their own
high office."

None of the speakers, male or female, were inter-
rupted by the police. By this time darkness was
drawing on, and the crowd rapidly thinned, until,
at about 10 o'clock, only a very few persons re-
mained in the park.
With regard to the proceedings of that section of
the Reformers who adhered to their original pro-
gramme, it is sufficient to state that on arriving op-
posite New Palace-yard some of the more violent
of the party attempted to get over the railings into
the square, but in this attempt they were completely
foiled by the police, who were posted in the enclo-
sure. At this point there was much cheering, and
among the shouts could be distinguished the name
of Mr. Bright, a reprint of whose letter in the Times
of yesterday had been extensively circulated during
the day. Another party passed by the Carlton Club
where they raised a storm of hisses, and the Reform
Club, where they indulged in the most uproarious
cheering, which was renewed when some of the
members waved their handkerchiefs and gave other
signs of approval. Arrived at Trafalgar-square Mr.
Beales ascended the base of Nelson's column and
commenced haranguing the crowd,who occupied the
bas reliefs on the column and every position from
which a good view could be obtained. Two fellows,
for instance, clambered up the statue of Charles .1.,
and caused considerable merriment by significantly
pointing to the head of that unfortunate monarch.
