TEETH. AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.-
The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all
detcr very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETILare of
vital importance from availing. themselves of the services of
a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex, ending
over greater pa. t of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, ulabling us to offersensi-
tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute
even the most
freedom from pain, a specialite I,ertaining only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system emb,aces the non-interference with all
stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extras
tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous pea son can be supplied without tear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur-
able, niiural, and ennitothable than any yet produced.

The anti-negro riots in Memphis have resulted in

or their children's school-houses.
" Prince " John Van Buren, with his two

General Beauregard, of the late Confederate

The railroad running from St. Louis to Springfield was
sold on the 13th inst. to Gen. John C. Freemont for
$1,300,000. Seventy-seven miles of this road have already
been ca.mpleted. Its owners claim it will be worth
$12,000,000 when completed.. .Four or five millions will
be necessary to finish it. It passes through the heart of
the agricultural and mineral lands of the State of Mis-
souri, and the celebrated Granby lead mines in Newton
County are a part of its "realty." This line is intended to
be a part of the route provided for in the Southern Pacific
Railroad in the Senate Bill, reported by Senator Brow; of
Missouri. Preemont obligates himself to finish it within
four years of the purchase.

The editor of Thompson's Bank-note Reporter says :
During a period of 100 years, from 1750 to 1850, the
average annual product of preciousmetals (gold and silver)
for the whole world, was certainly short of $40,000,000.
It is fair to estimate that three-fourths of this passed into
manufrctured articles and the arts, leaving something less
than ten millions of dollars per annum increase to the
specie money of the world. After making a fair allowance
for lost money and abrasion, the amount of precious metals
that was added to the money of the world during the one
hundred years was probably not over $750,000,000.
From 1850 to the present time, only 15 years, the pro-
duct of the precious metals has been on an average
8120,000,000. Allowing that fifty millions per annum
have passed into manufactured articles and the arts, it

sols), and our national currency (based on Governmen
bonds deposited with the U. S. Treasurer), is a powerfu

element in the augmentation or expansion of money. Ten
dollars of this secured money to only $1 of specie is easier
and safer managed than were three to one of the old State
Bank currency.
Drawing our conclusions from these facts, we say the
hard money of the world has doubled in 15 years; inven-
tions and science have doubled its efficacy in 50 years;
double the amount of paper currency can be issued on a
given amount of specie.

—This veteran hero made his usual annual visit to West

by Majx--Generals Pleasanton, Butterfield, Potter, Van

Tho logical and mathematical deductions are, that prices
of everything that money buys, except interest-bearing
obligations, should be about quadruple the prices paid dur-
ing the first half of this century.

The conviction loft on our mind is that this country can
drift to a specie basis in three years without contracting
the currency at all, and that, in the meantime, the largest
half of our debt can be consolidated into a long five per
cent. stock, and that, during the succeeding five years, the
balance, or at least all that matures, can be consolidated

by order of General Butterfield, in honour of the hero
of two wars. At dinner on board the steamer toasts
in honour of General Scott were drank with much enthu-
siasm by all the party. The Lieutenant-General expressed
himself much indebted to all for their courtesy and kind-
ness. On the way up the river every steamer honoured
the Lieutenant-General by salutes and dipping their
colours. Passing Stony Point, a place famous in revolu-
tionary story, and " Benny Havens, 0 !" a place well re-
membered by many living West Pointers, the band played
appropriate airs. On arriving at West Point the Lieute-

The success of a new process for separating gold has

Our advices from New :York to the 15th inst. by the
" Scotia " report a good market for Government Securi-

position was also shown to invest in Railroad Securities,
and, although no important advance was established, the
aspect of the market was decidedly more buoyant than for
some time past. This was much helped by the easy state
of the money market, large balances being employed at
even 4 or 5 per cent.

(the president of Christ's Hospital), the Treasurer
of that hmpital, the Presidents and Treasurers of

and a number of private friends.

The loving cup having been passed round with
the usual ceremony, and the loyal toasts having
been duly disposed of,
The LORD MAYOR gave " The Army, Navy, and
Volunteers." His lordship associated with the
toast the name of the Duke of Cambridge for the
army and navy, and that of Major (Alderman)
Rose for the volunteers.
The Duke of CA3IBRIDGE, in returning thanks
on the part of the army and navy, observed that
with regard to the position in which those services
were placed, he might say that in whatever part
of the globe they might find themselves they
never forget that they were Englishmen.

Mr: Alderman ROSE returned thanks for the
Volunteers.

The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The health of
his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the
President of Christ's Hospital." It had frequently
been his good fortune to speak of his Royal High-
ness in his capacity of commander-in-chief, and he
had now the happiness to allude to him in a more
peaceful character, viz., as the president of one of
the most noble institutions in this country. When
his Royal Highness was elected to that office it
might have been supposed that the prestige of his
name would be sufficient to satisfy those who had
induced him to occupy that position ; but he (the
Lord Mayor) unhesitatingly said that no man had
ever fulfilled the duties which devolved upon his
Royal Highness in that capacity with greater apti-
tude, with greater diligence, or with greater regard
for the benefits conferred by the institution. He
had often had the honour of seeing his Royal high-
ness at official meetings for the discharge of public
business connected with the interests of Christ's
Hospital, and he had always observed that he dis-
played such a thorough knowledge of the working
of the institution in all its practical and business
details that he was sometimes tempted to ask his
Royal Highness where he obtained his commercial
education. (A. laugh.) It was a great gratification
to him that night to welcome his Royal Highness as
the President of Christ's Hospital, and he hoped he
might long be spared to enjoy the confidence and
esteem of the citizens of London. (Cheers.)

_
The toast was received with the warmest enthu-

slam, and
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE, in returning thanks, said
the Lord Mayor had done him the honour of allud-

ing to the manner in which he discharged his duty
as president of Christ's hospital but he could
assure his lordship that when he undertook the re-
sponsibility of this most agreeable and acceptable
office he should not have done so had he not made
up his mind that he would fulfil the obligation im-
posed upon him as efficiently as he possibly could.
He considered it a very high honour to be placed at
the head of so noble an institution, but he could
have done very little in the exercise of his functions
if he had not been most ably assisted and supported
by the treasurer and the court of almoners of the
hospital. In reference to the duties he was called
upon to discharge, he felt that such an institution
ought to be carried on with great care and caution,
and that when important interests were entrusted to

those who were placed in authority they ought not
effect any changes without being satisfied that those
changes were sound, reasonable, and desirable. He
sincerely thanked the Lord Mayor for the very com-
plimentary manner in which he had invited that
distinguished assemblage to drink to his health.
(Cheers.)
The LORD MAron next gave " The health of his
Highness the Prince de Teck," observing that this
was the first time his highness had received the hos-
e pitality of the citizens of London, and that they
were delighted to welcome him as a prince who was
about to enter into a holy matrimonial alliance with
one of the daughters of England, who was beloved
by the people of England, and whom the citizens
of London cherished and honoured. (Cheers.)
The Prince de TECIC, in responding, said that
among the numerous invitations he had received
since he had been in this country none had given
him greater pleasure than the one he had received
from the Lord Mayor, as the representative of the
