TEE T H.—MR. ESKELL'S PATENT.—
On the 17th July. 1860, Mr. ESKELL, Bnr.geon Dentist,
8, Grosvenor-street, W., obtained her MAJESTY'S ROYAL
LF:TTEns PATENT for an improved method of fixinv:
ARTIFICIAL TEETH to the GUMS on MOVEABLE
BASES, without plates or any fastenings which may be thus
described :

The 'Teeth are perfectly fitted from first to last in TWO
HOURS, without pain or extraction of stumps, by means of
Moveable Elastic and Indestructible Eases. Plying one
within a tube to which the Teeth are attached, and applying
it to the gums, it adheres with such tenacity by suction that
the Teeth are quite immoveable. except at the will of the
wearer. A new Base is readily applied, without the aid of a
[)enlist, when changes take place from loss of Teeth absorp-
tion, .Cc., rendering these Teeth always useful and durable
for lite.

The exclusive to this Patent is secured to Mr. Eskell
by her Majesty's Royal Seal, and can only be procured at his
residence, where -pecimens may be seen and every informa-
tion obtained. Decayed teeth stopped. Loose teeth fastened.

great measure to the fact that the Author is the only duly

Imprudence the peculiar objects of his attention. The im-
pediments which so often either prohibit wedlock, or embitter
and render it a state of misery, by disappointing its fondest
hopps and marring its highest objects, are, though varied in
form, closelyanalogousin reality. The mischief may arise in-
nocently, from deleterious influences devolved from the
necessities of position—from circumstances which occurred
years before the sufferers were born, from accident, or the in-
fluence of tropical climates, but chitty from Self-incurred

be shown at every step in the regeneration of the
army, none can truly declare that they have been
treated harshly. The change in itself is very
desirable—that is to say, if we aro to accept on this
subject the opinions of General Jacob and other
most distinguished officers of the Bombay army.
" We (Englishman) have taken some trouble to
inquire about the death of the infamous Nana,
which some of our contemporaries throw doubts
upon. From reliable reports we have ascertained
that this sc3undrel died on the hills immediately
below Nepaul in Srawun Budee Punchumee, in the
month of August, 1858, with some 200 followers
around him. Balarao, his brother, who is still
alive, although the Oude Government reported him
dead also, performed the funeral ceremonies, burn-
ing the corpse, as usual, on the banks of the Sooper-
norekha, On the day of his shradh—that is twelve
days after the burning, the Mahommedans in his
suite quarrelled with the Hindoos, because Balarao
would not allow any cattle to be killed at that time.
A battle was fought, but was soon put an end to by
Mohummud Khan, a follower of Hurt at Muhul,
interfering. This detestable scoundrel, Nana, was
destroyed by jungle fever, after having been ill for
twenty-seven days.
" The Friend of India, on the other hand, says :
An officer of her Majesty's 3d Europeans writes us
confirming the account which we gave of the pro-
bability of the Nana being still alive. Two months
ago a brother officer, who has since left India, saw
a letter from a eunuch of the ex-King of Oude,
mentioning that the Nona was still alive.

"Letters from Nagpore inform the Englishman
that the rebels at Raepore have fled, and dispersed
in various directions. The Government granted to
the Ranees of the lat 3 Rajah three valuable Jag-
heers in the Bombay Presidency, the profits of
which are to be paid to them annually."

THE FINANCES OF INDIA.
(From our Calcutta Correspondent.)
CALCUTTA, DEC. 3, 1860.

There is nothing going on worthy of a detailed
account. The Government has published a state-
ment showing an estimated deficit in the current
year of £6,273,000, with all productive public works
stopped. The indigo news is of the same character
as last reported. The enclosed circular gives an
accurate statement of the general disposition of the
ryo ts.
Good accounts from all parts of India.
I enclose also the Government financial state-
ment :

" FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT.

"Fort 'William, Nov. 19, 1860.

"Resolution,—The Governor-General in Council has
lately had before him the sketch estimates for the current
year 1860-61. These documents have generally been found
ia former years to represent a close approrintation to the
actual financial results of the year to which they relate.
They have been prepared this season with unusual care, and
they foreshadow a result somewhat less unfavourable than
had been anticipated from retr-ns and calculations which
have been for some time before the public; but they show
more clearly than ever the imperative necessity which exists
fcr the:most active and sustained exerticn to enforce eco-
nomy in 911 branches of the administration, in order to
bring the current expenditure of the State within its in-
come.

" 2. The total income of the Government of India for the
year 1860-61, from all sources, exclusive of income-tax, is
estimated, in round numbers, at £38,140,000
Income-tax at

Giving► a total income, from every source, of £39,140,000
The expenditure in India is esti-
mated at 38,430,000
That in England, according to
the latest information received
here, at

Giving a total expenditure by the Indian
Government, in India and in England, of 45,413,000

Thus leaving a deficit of income, as compared
with expenditure, of not less than
which must be met, for the time, by drawing on the balances
in the Government treasuries.

" 3. This deficit is equal to more than 16 per cent. on the
total 'expected income from all sources, including taxes only
lately introduced, and the produce of which is, therefore, a
matter of extreme uncertainty. As compared with the in-
come from permanent sources (i.e., exclusive of income-tax
which is imposed for only a definite period), the deficit
would be nearly 16i per cent.
"4. But the fact that the current expenditure of India is
still 16 per cent. in excess of the largest safe estimate of
current income does not represent the full gravity of the
present condition of our finances.
"5. There is much of the estimated expenditure which
admits of no possible reduction during the current season.
Such, for instance, is the interest of the public debt, which
now forms a total annual charge of £4,480,000, and on ac-
count of which £4,246,600 is estimated to be paid in 1860-
61. There are other charges, which it is needless to specify,
but which amount in the aggregate to a very large sum, and
aro not practically susceptible of any immediate reduction ;
and some, like the guaranteed interest on railway capital,
must, for seine years to come, annually increase.
" 6. Again, the estimates for some services are, for the
current year, not only lower than is desirable for efficient
administration, but lower than it is possible to keep •them
permanently.
" 7. For example, not only are necessary and useful public
works of all kinds deferred, but works calculated directly to
improve the revenue, and to the execution of which Govern-
ment is more or less pledged, and on some of which large
sums have been already expended, are suspended to such an
extent that an outlay of not less than eight millions sterling
would be required to complete them. The expenditure in
the construction of railways, also, has been curtailed to a very
considerable amount, so as to avoid immediate pressure on
the finances, owing to the temporary inability of some com-
panies to deposit such an amount of capital as would save
the Government from the risk of having to take the works
into its own hands, and to complete them at the public ex-
pense.

" 8. No precautions have been neglected by the Govern-
ment of India which could tend to enforce the most rigid
economy in every branch of the administration. In addi-
tion to general measure of reduction, commissions have
been appointed to scrutinize charges in the principal branches
of the public service, and their labours, especially those of
the Military Finance Commission, have been attended with
the best practical results.

" 9. No officer of Government can fail to be aware of the
earnest efforts which have been made to reduce expenditure
in every department, and it is only, duo to the several Go-
vernments and Administrations of India, and to the whole
body of Government servants, who have so ably seconded
the wishes of the Government of India, and by whose united
exertions great reductions have been carried out, to draw
attention to the result as shown in the diminution of expen-
diture which has been already effected since the restoration
of peace in India. When it is considered that the struggle
in 1857-58 was one quite without parallel in the history of
our empire, that the restoration of peace was not proclaimed
till late in 1858, and that up to the latter part of 1859 the
necessity for keeping troops on a field establishment had
not passed away, the Governor-General in Council feels
strongly that the thanks of the Government of India are
due to its officers and servants of every grade, alike for the
rapid manner in which means were organised and aug-
mented to meet and crush mutiny and rebellion, and for
the vigour with which retrenchments were enforced, when
the immediate necessity for unusual exertion had passed
away.

" 10. Nevertheless, the fact remains that we are still
spending month by month 16 per cent, more than our cur-
rent expected income.
" 11. It is also a fact, which daily becomes more clearly
evident, that reductions of expenditure, comparatively easy
at first, become more difficult as the process continues, and
that each. successive measure of economy becomes directly,
as well as relatively, more arduous than its predecessor.
" 12. Moreover, the just expectations of her Majesty's
Government, and of the people of India and of England,
will not be fulfilled by a simple return to the state of things
which existed previous to 1856-57. Late evonts have made
it apparent that the finances of India were not then, and had
not been for many years previous, in a really sound and
healthy condition. The Government; of India was not able
to do its duty with regard to public works, public educa-
tion, or even the administration of public justice. The in-
come and expenditure were so nearly
balanced, even in the
time of the most profound peace, that no sufficient surplus
of income was left to meet the temporary increase of charges
without adding to the public debt, while some of the most
productive sources of income were precarious, and liable to
sudden and serious diminution. -
tt 13. To revert to a state of things so little satisfactory
will net be an adequate result after years of the strictest
economy, and after the imposition of new taxes which have
