R. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
; street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
FICIAL TEETH ,fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
perfectly resemble the nataral teeth as not to be distinguished from
the original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
lecay, 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^eration, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; end that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo-
mical, he has fixed the charges at the lowest scale possible. De-
cayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At home from ten till five.

THE MOLT RABBIT CASE.

The man John Hagon, mentioned in Thursday even-
ing's Sun as having been summoned to answer another
case of alleged trespass on "the Lows Common in pur-
suit of conies," appeared on Saturday list at the Shire-
hall, Holt, before the Right Hon. Lord Hastings, Lieut.-
Col. As I,y, and W. Hamilton Pemberton,=Esq.
Notwithstanding a moat able defence on the part of
flagon by Mr. J. H. Tillett, of Norwich, and evidence
being adduced clearly showing that for a period of forty-
five years not only the holders of common rights, but
other poor inhabitants, had maintained undisturbed pos-
session, exercising this felt, the magistrates convicted
flagon in the penalty of 2/., with expenses, or, in de-
fault, two months' imprisonment with hard labour.

THE DIVISION IN THE LORDS.—It is an instructive
fact, that notwithstanding Lord Derby's earnest appeal
to the Christianity and humanity of the Bench of
Bishops, in the peroration of his speech on Thursday,
only four Right Rev. Prelates, and these all Tractaristr,
voted against Ministers. No fewer than fifteen Bishops,
with Lord Shaftesbury, voted with Ministers. —Morning

ACTION Or SUGAR ON THE TEETH.—M. Larez, in a
courec of investigations, arrived at the following con-
clusions relative to the action of sugar upon the teeth :
—l. Refined eugar, from either cane or beet, is injuri-
ous to healthy teeth, either by immediate contact with
these organs, or by the gas developed while it is in the
stomach. 2. If a tooth be macerated in a saturated so-
lution of sugar, it is so much altered in its chemical
cmposition that it becomes gelatinous, and its enamel
opaque, spongy, and easily broken. 3. This modifica-
tion is due, not to free acid, but to a tendency of sugar
to combine with the calcareous basis of the tooth.—
Medical Times and Gazette.
WILLS.—The will of the Hon. Sir Edward Ha r
(Baron) Alderson was proved under 60,0001. ; Sir Wm.
Lewis Salisbury Trelawney, Bart , of Cornwall, 6,000/. ;
the Dowager Countess of Carhampton's will has just
been proved in London ; Ed ward Croosdaile, E3q.,
late of Boulogne, 35,0001. ; Daniel Chambers Mack-
right, Esq., M.D., of Jersey, 2,000/. ; Henry Waterland
Root, Esq., of Lincoln, 10,000/. ; William Todd, Esq.,
of Barnsbury Park, 20,010/.
A letter from Berlin of the 23d, in the Cologne
Gazette, says.:—" We are assured that the affair of
Neuchatel has taken a favourable turn during the
13st few days. Instructions for the ambassador at
Paris, Count do Hatzfeldt, are to be sent off in a
few and it is said that they are of such a
nature as to leave no doubt of the early conclusion
of the affair."
The Prussian Correspondence of Berlin says
"It is untrue that M. de Wildenbusch, Prussian
Ambassador to Constantinople, has been recalled,
as stated by some journals. That diplomatist has
merely obtained temporary le3vo (,)f abseuck, to visit
this capital,"

panies for the whole army, or nearly 50,000 men ;
and that there will also be reductions in the rifles,

CHINA.
HONG KONG, JAN. 15.
Our last dates from London are to the 10th of
November. The steamer Madras leaves to-day

with the outward mails.
At Canton little change has taken place since the
30th of December. Our troops remain intrenched
in the Garden. Her Majesty's steamer Niger, with
the flag of Admiral Seymour, is at anchor off the
ruins of the factories, and the other men-of-war are
distributed in the river, commanding the most im-
portant points. Several exceedingly well-planned
attempts have been made to blow up and burn our
vessels, and although they have been as yet unsuc-
cessful in doing any material injury the great-
est vigilance is necessary. The Mandarins
have collected a large number of wur junks in
the creeks of the river, and on tit° 4th inst.
they attacked the Macao Fort at low water.
Her Majesty's steamer Encounter attempted to
move down from her anchorage, but grounded,
and the fight was maintained by the fort, thesteamer
Coromandel, and men-of war's boats until the rise
of the tide enabled the steamer to come to their
assistance, when the junks retired into shallow
water beyond range.
Mr. Pearn, master's assistant of her Majesty's
ship Sybille, was killed during the action, and two
officers and three seamen were woum.le d. The loss
on the side of the Chinese must have - be en consider-
able, as the Minierifles of our marines. tr ad severely.
On the 30th ult. the postal steamer Tb istle, while
on her way from Canton, was cut off by a party of
Chinese, who had been received on board as passen-
gers for Hong Kong, but proved to be et uissaries of
the Chinese Government hired to perfor m the tra-
gedy in which they succeeded. All on b oard were
murdered with the exception of some Cli inese pas-
sengere, and the vessel was then run a.s bore and
burnt. There were two foreign passengers on board
at the time—viz., a Spanish gentleman, Signer
Dias, formerly Peruvian Consul-General, and an
invalid of the 59th Regiment.
Since this dreadful occurrence another river
steamer has been attacked and narrowly escaped
capture at the hands of a Mandarin fleet, and core
munication with Canton is now almost entirely su
pended.
There are no foreign residents there now wh it_
ever.

PERSIA.

Mr. GLADSTONE further- gave notice that to-
morrow he should put three questions to the Go-
vernment on the subject of the papers with
reference to Persia. The first was whether the
financial year mentioned in the Litter of .the
President of the Board-of Control, dated 9th December
last, had the same meaning as to the ensuing financial
year as that of Sir Charles 'rrevelyan's of the 21 Dectem-
k'er, and if no', by whose authority was that charge
made? Secondly, whether any estimate of the charge
for the Persian war for the ensuing financial year had
been presented by the East Indian Company to the Go-
vernment ; and it so, when it was so made, and when it
would be laid on the table of the house ? Thirdly,
whether any supplies or ammunition of
war, the pro-
perty of her Maidsty—, had been despatched from this
country, or wary of the Britishin aid
of the Persian possessions,

Mr. GORDON g„jkel‘anElCA.

relative to the services of Sir J. AVINTeiI. aucli)evjo ui.
Tulloch ; viz., that an humble address be presented t.
her Majesty, praying that some special mark of appr-u-
-bation be conferred on there two gentlemen.

GUANO.
In reply to a question from Mr. DENISON,
Mr. LA BOueIIERE said that since he 1 set addressed
the house on this subject he had been informed by
Messrs. Ora and Co., who had the exclusive license o-f
the trade of guano in the islands referred to, of their
intention to supply persons who fetched the guano at
11 per ton. The Government had made provision for
the protection of the British farmers should the t upply
be found longer than was anticipated.
CIVIL SERVICE.
Mr. MACARTN EY asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether the inquiry of the Civil Service Cum-
mission was so advanced as to enable him to lay the re-
port upon the table of the house before Easter, as pro-
posed by him in reply to the question put by the hon.
member for Lanarkshire on the 6th of February last !
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that the report of the Commissioners appointed to in-
qu'rd into the Civ,l Service Superannuation would be laid
on the table ebfrtly before Easter. He referred to his

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
REPORT' ON THE STATE Old BOMBAY MARKET FROM THE

The Overland Mad from London of the 26th of De-
cember reached Bombay at one o'clock in the morning
of the 22d of January per Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany'a steam-ship Singapore.
Our money-market during the fortnight has been, if
anything, slightly easier, and no further rise has taken.
place in the rates of interest ruling at the banks. On
the 13;,h ult. the Government opened a 5 per cent. loan
for three crores of rupees, no part of which can b 3 paid
Cff b Are the latter end of 1871, but it is generally sup-
p3sel that the pibiic wilt not contribute to this loan to
any, extent ; therefore the Government mu-t either open
a 6 per cent. loan or take 4 per cent. paper in the propor-
tion of one-half as part payment to the new loan to se.
cure the amount of money required.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 23d do not contain
any political news of interest. The .E:poca says that
Marshal Serrano, ambassador at Paris, was about
to return to Madrid on leave of absence to take
part in the deliberations of the Senate. The cold
' had become much less severe in Madrid, but a good
deal of sickness was prevalent. The Queen had
given a magnificent ball, and opened it by dancing
with the Dukes de Valenc!a (Narvaez) ; her Ma-
jesty afterwards danced with the French ambasSa-
dor. It appears from an official return, that from
May, 1849, up to July, 1856, 2,866 kilometres
(4791, miles) of railway had been conceded, and
that 506 of them are now being worked; and 1,474
in construction.

EGYPT.
ALEXANDRIA, FEB. 20.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Valetta arrived heir) from Marseilles this day, and
will leave on her return voyage early to-morrow
morning. The Ripon, with the heavy portion of
the mails, had just reached Malta when the Valetta
loft that island, and she is hourly expected here ;
but not being yet sighted it is still uncertain when
the outward mails are likely to leave Suez.

IWe are now in momentary expectation of hearing
of the Viceroy's arrival at Cairo, intelligence having
been received some days ago that he, might be ex-
pected about this time. Meanwhile, and in conse-
quence of orders which have preceded bis High-
ness, the authorities of Cairo and of Alexandria
are levying a number of young men, out of whom
it appears 600 are to be selected and formed
into a special corps of " Guards." The number
required is not large, but it has been suffi-
cient to cause considerable perturbation among the
labouring classes, and even, to some extent, a ces-
sation of business in the bazaars. Notwithstanding
the improvements introduced by the present Vice-
roy into the treatment of the Egyptian soldier, both
in regard to his food and to his clothing, all classes
of the population look upon Government service of
every description with feelings of great aversion,
and although the men generally appear soon t
grow reconciled to their new mode of life, still the
spectacle attending these oft-recurring impress-
ments is not the le,s distressing, when mere lads
are seen carried off along the streets, followed by a
bevy of shrieking and wailing women, they them-
selves wearing an air of hopeless resignation.
It does not appear likely that we shall hear of
