'5.1 R. HOWARD, burgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an entirely new description of ARTI-
F tCfAL TEETll.flxed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so
erfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distity_ruishecl from
thl original by the closest observer; they will never change colour or
deny, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever.before used.
This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
3.- er at i off, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and Is
.maranteecl to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo-

seized in Holywell-str4-_,,et, and also than it was au
obscene paper.
Mr. Mace, the chief usher, stated that several
copies of Paul Pry which had been seized were pro-
duced by Mr. Durkin on the day previous. _ _ _

Mr. Roche said that the two numbers of Paul
Pr!' for which the publisher was imprisoned were
never issued. When it was found that they con-
tained objectionable matter, they were destroyed.
The magistrate, Mr. Henry, said that he saw no
miitatements to correct. Mr. Jardine would have
to decide at the next hearing whether the books
were obscene or not, which might be somewhat dif-
ficult.
The editor then withdrew.

MARLBOROUGH-STRE EL—Frederick Har-
ding was charged with obtaining two sovereigns
from George Brown, by false pretences.
George Brown, a b.)y in the service of Mr.
Clarke, butcher, Hungerford-market, said that on
Thursday morning his master gave him two sove-
reigns to go out and " back a horse" with. He
wetA to the Haymarket, and seeing the defendant,
asked him the price of the horse he was desired to
back. The defendant said the odds were 7to 2,
and then catching hold of hii hand, took from him
the two sovereigns, saying, " That will do ; I'll pay
in the morning if die horse wins." He went back
to his master, and told him he had made the bet.
His master asked him for the name of the person.
He said he did not know if. His master sent him
back to ask the name. He saw the defendant, and
the defendant told him his name was Rogers. He
re

arced to his master, who told him to go and
get the money back. He went, but defendant said,
" It's all right ; I'll pay in the morning." The
horse had since won, but his master had not re-
ceived the money.
The defendant said he booked the bet in the
name of Rogers, but did not say his own name was
Rogers. He called witnesses to prove it, but the
magistrate was dissatisfied with their testimony.

Go the defendant stating that if he had time
allowed he could produce a witness who could
prove this point, the magistrate remanded the case,
and allowed him to go a c large on bail.

GUNBOATS ON THE GANGES.

Is it not grange that our government and the autho
rities in India teem to neglect the most obvious means
for strengthening our forces
A few men- )1-rear stationed before Calcutta would do
more to prevent a rising in that city than all the troops
and volunteers in it. The men of war would have the
town, especially the native portion of it, completely at
their mercy ; and part of their crews might be formed
into naval brigades to do duty on shore. The crew of
the Shannon, which has just arrived at Calcutta, seems
to have been quite a godsend to the authorities there.
Our innumerable gunboats, built during the last war,
are almost every w:sere lying idle : they would be of
incalculata u4e on the Ganges during the four rainy
months of July, August, September, and 0 3tober. " I
have," says a correspondent, " had some experience in
the navigation of the Ganges, and I can safely assert that
in these months the Ganges would, in the rainy season,
be navigable for gunboats up to Allahabad, and in July
and August they might ascend even to Agra and Cavell-
pore. Their presence on the river would have kept the entire
line of communication open, and we should have heard
nothing of the outbreaks and disasters at Dinapore,
Allababad, Benares, &c."
There are several reaches in the Ganges, where for
many miles the river is deep enough to float gunboats
drawing from five to twelve feet of water at the driest
season of the year. This is the case at Bena
, andr(s
the

generally opposite most of the large towns .

BOAT ACCIDENT AT LYTHAM-INQUEST.

It is now quite certain that five persons have lost
their lives by the accident on the Sands Bank, situated
between Lytham and Southport, on Sunday night;
Their names are T. Green, J. Morrow, R. Forshavrol•
Holden, and A. Whittle. Up to Sunday night only on°
body, that of Holden, had been found ; but yesterday
Afternoon a jacket worn by Morrow at the time of the
casualty was washed ashore on the beach at Lythare•
The boat has not been raised, but at present remains ern'
bedded in sand. An attempt will be made to get her
off t'.3-day. On Tuesday night the inquest was held on
the body of Holden, at the Talbot Inn, Lytham, by g r
Myres, coroner. Four witnesses were examined.
Alice Holden said the deceased, Joan Holden, wag
her husband, and left Preston for Rackpool, on Satur•
day afternoon, to return the following day. He was
weaver, and-was twenty-three years of age.
Mr. John Pearson, landlord of the Coffee-house Toot
Marton, near Blackpool, said the deceased John Holden,
accompanied by three other men, went to his house on
Saturday night, and staid there until eight o'clock the
following morning, when they left to take the boat'
which they said was lying in charge of a companiBP,'
near the Lytham Lighthou-e. They did not take SIV
drink with them. Witness had not seen them since.
John Bonny, fi3herrnan,.proved finding the boat 01°'
taming the body of Holden, on a sand-back, about nine
o'clock on Monday morning. Jie did ni,t find any oher,
body. The boat's mast was broken in the centre, ana
consequently she could not have been upset by a storm:
He believed the accident had been caused by the boal'
coming in contact with one of the flukes of her ation°,!'
by which means her bottom had been -stove in, and sue
filled and sunk. This was only a supposition, made irepir
the fact of the boat being at present lying on he
anchor.
Alice Gabutt, the wife of a weaver at Blackburn, de'
posed to going down by the boat with the deceased t°
Lytham on Saturday, and to there being five men °o
board at the time.
This being the whole of the evidence, the inquiry vi:
adjourned till Friday, Oct. 2 ; the jury, however, are,lhe
be called together before that time, in case any of 're
missing bodies are found. It is believed that they
washed out to sea. ,Green has left a widow an¢ le
children ; Morrow a widow and two children ;
a widow and child(; Hoiden a widow and child;
Shaw was a single man.

rather declining, floated having been sold in the raft at
121. 10,. for Ists, with a proportionate price for 2nds

GUNBOATS ON TILE GANGES.

Is it not strange that our government and the autho •
rittea in India seem to neglect the most obvious means
for strengthening our forces I •
A few men-ef-war stationed before Calcutta would do
more to prevent a rising in that city than all the troops I
and volunteers in it. The men of war would have the
town, especially the native portion of it, completely at
their mercy ; and part of their crews might be formed
into naval brigades to do duty on shore. The crew of
the Shannon, which has just arrived at Calcutta, seems
to have been quite a godsend to the authorities there.
Our innumerable gunboats, built during the lsst war,
are almost everyw:aere lying idle : they would be of
incalculaule use on the Ganges during the •four rainy
months of July, August, September, and artober. "
in I
have" says a correspondent, " had some experience
• .
the navigation of the Ganges, and I can safely assert that
in these months the Ganges would, in the rainy season,
be navigable for gunboats up to Allahabad, and in July
and August they mightthaearcievnedr

line of communication open, and we should have heard
nothing of the outbreaks and disasters at Dinapore,
Allababad, Benares, ez.c."
There are several reaches in the Ganges, where for
many miles the river is deep enough to tlo‘t gunboats
drawing from five to twelve feet of water at the driest
season of the year. This is the case at Bat:tarts, and
generally opposite most of the largetow
gunboats could be stationed at sue 4

of keeping open the communication, if the rebels took up
a fortified position anywhere on the banks of the river.
England is strongest in her navy ; but to judge from
the way in which Government is conducting the war,
, one would think that we had not a single frigate or gun.

A RACIA G SQUABBLE.

On SaturJay a case came before the Doncaster
mag.strates, which excitel much interest, in which
a person named Spraig was summoned for being
engaged in a serious disturbance that °courted in
the inclosure at Doncaster on Friday, immediately
after Blink Bonny had won the Park-hill Stakes.
Mr. Superintendent Little, of Newark, stated that
he was in the ling after the race for the Park-hill
Stakes had been won, and dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed at the running of thi winner, wbo ran the
race in two or three sccmds less time than the St.
Leger was run in, though over precisely the same
distance. The owner and jockey were in danger of
being illused, and policemen were called to protect
them. Great uproar and excitement continuing, it
was thought advisable to ga away Mr. I'Anson
in a cab, but no sooner had they got that gentle-
man to the end of the inclosure than those in the
ring followed, and then the disturbance was taken
up by the " outsiders." The defendant was stand-
ing on the tlp of an omnibus, in a conspicuims
place. He shouted, and, holding up his stick, called
out as loud as he posdbly could, "Kill him, kill
him ; kill the -." Had those at the outside gut
bold of Mr. I'Ansm he believed they would have
him.

Mr. Sheardown, the presiding magistrate, asked
what was the cause of the uproar ?
Mr. Fisher, the clerk, s•tid he happened to be
there, and saw the disturbance. It occurred in this
manner :—The Park-bill Stakes were won by Blink
Bonny on Friday, carrying 101 b. m -re than she
did in the St. Leger, an 4 running the rage in
two seconds less time. The moment the mare came
to the ring there was a disturbance, owing to the
impression that the owner and the jockey " had
fleeced the public." Whether that opinion was
right or moron; was another thing.
Mr. SheardOwn—Then • this inference, whether
right or wrong►, was the cause of the excitement ?
Mr. Fisher said it was.

joint assistance of my friends, Mr. Linklater and Mr.
Field, who undertook the management of the details
elsewhere, and the result is to place the shareholders in
alposition of temporary and comparative safety ; but it
Would be a most ungrateful return if the shareholders
do net take advantage of the opportunity afforded them,
and contribute for the general compromise. Many I
represent who have returned in consequence of this Act
having passed will use their beat exertions to carry it
out. The amount is very large, 170,0001., bat Ido be-
lieve that if shareholders knew the vital importance to
themselves in carrying out this compromise the amount
might be subscribed. My friend has alluded to the
conduct of the assignees. I can only say that they have
well and zealously discharged their duties. The pre-
ceedings which have been referred to have been taken
independently of this Court.
Mr. LINICIATER.-With reference to the liability of
the now shareholders, I may observe that before the
assignees proceeded with the examination of the direc-
tors, or made public the circumstances connected with
the failure of the " Royal British Bank," they had the
consent of almost all the new shareholders, abandoning
any claim against the estate. line question of the
liability of the new shareholders to the creditors has been
Solemnly decided by the Court of Queen's Bench, Ex-
chequer, and Common Pleas, and there can be no ques-
tion that they are liable to the creditors of the bank,
although, as between themselves and the el ;f share-
holders, they may not be liable to contribute on the
ground of fraud ; even that question is appealed in the
Court of Chancery.
The COMMISSIONER.—I am in great hopes that that
Act of Parliament will be found a beneficial measure,
and that a general compromise may be effected, so as to
finally wind up the affairs of this most unfortunate bank.
• The meeting was then adjourned for two months.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.

Last evening a very large audience were attracted by
the performance of Mendelssohn's " Hymn of Praise"
and 'Mozart's " Requiem." These two wonderful corn-
positions were executed with care and effect. The beau-
tiful introductory sinfonia to the "Hymn of Praise" was
performed in a manner that reflected great credit on the
orchestra, which, as usual, was under the efficient three-
tion Gf M. Costa. The solo performers were Madame
Clara Novello, Mrs. Lockey, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Mr.
Thomas. Madame Cara Novello's beautiful voice was
heard to great effect, in the " Hymn of Praise," in the
air "All that have life and breath." A duet, sung by
Mrs. Lockey and Madame Novello, was rendered with
taste and expression. Mr. Sims Reeves displayed his
usual ability in the tenor part, the most remarkable
feature being the solo of "The sorrows of death." In
the second part, " The Requiem," the solo performers
were necessarily less conspicuous. The chorus through.
out was unusually successful. Ail lovers of classical
music are much indebted to this society for bringing the
works of the greatest masters so frequently before the
public. The performances last night would scarcely
seem so calculated to attract the unscientific, but never-
theless the ball was crowded.

Tll3 BRITISH POSTAL GUIDE.

January, 1857, has brought to us a new and greatly
improved sixpenny Postal Guide, such as we cannot but
recommend at once to the general public as a perfect '
marvel of compilation. It comprises, in a pamphlet
form, within less than 200 pages octavo, all the informa-
tion capable of being grouped together, catalogued and
tabulated for instant reference—in regard to the working
of the complex machinery in our vast and ever-toiling
Post-office Establishment. The publication, it should
be remarked, is issued quarterly by command of her
Majesty's Postmaster-General, under the personal in-
spection, of course (cela vet sans dire), of
Rowland Hill, the all-Important Chief Secre-
tary. Whoever has acted in the present in-
stance, however, under Mr. Hill's scrutiny, in the
extraordinary labour of bringing together the mass of
attractive and valuable information compressed into
the narrow compass of this new and really remarkable
Guide-book, has revealed in so doing those evidencies of
industry, assiduity, and research, which are assuredly
the very best qualifications for any one acting immedi-
ately under such a Chief of such a Department ! " The
Right Man in the Right Place"—with the Right Man
again under him That is the natural, and, indeed,
' almost inevitable inference deducible from an examination
of this " British Postal Guide," pp. 173, price 6d., published
under the authority of the Duke of Argyll ; revised, or
rather supervised, by Rowland Hill, the Secretary ; and
printed by the official printers to the Queen's Most
Excellent Majesty, the Messrs. Eyre and Spottiswoode I
The Guide-book is subdivided, small as it is, into no
less than sixteen separate sections, beginning with a
list of the Chief Officers of the Department, and ending
with an ample and most comprehensive Index. The
one solitary section relating to the new " Postal Die-
tricts," would be enough of itself to render any one
grateful for this sixpenny publication. Altogether it is
just precisely what was wanted, this British Postal
Guide, for the purposes of instant reference and reliable
information.

.iIIANCITESTER COMMERCIAL ASS-00IATION.

The annual meeting of this association was held at
Manchester yesterday, Mr. J. A. Turner, presiding.
The Chairman, in commenting upon the annual report,
referred to the proud position which this country held
during the negotiations for the conclusion of peace last
year. He believed we mid-it look back with satisfaction
to the course of trade since peace was established, for a:
no t,eried in the annals of our commet ea had any ap-
proach been made to the amount of business carried on.
Our exports had exceeded those of any other period by
20,000,0001., for they amounted to the enormous sum of
115,000,000/., and he believed that while the mercantile
interests had been flourishing, the population of the
country had been well employed, that generally con-
tentment had prevailed, and that we might on the whole
consider ourselves in very prospetous condition. But
there was one cloud in the distance, and that was the
probable distress we were likely to experience before
long from the inadequate supply of the raw material
which gave employment to such vast numbers of the
inhabitants of this district. In ten years, from 1847 to
1850, the imports of cotton into this country had exactly
doubled, for in 1847 they were 1,234,000 bale , while in
185 d they were 2,467,000 bales ; but such bad been the
progress of the cotton trade that whereas at the end of
1847 the stock in Liverpool was 451,000 bales, or 20
weeks' consumption, at the end of 1856 the stock was
only 332,000 bales, or ei4lit weeks' consumption. That
was t[,t3 total stock at the end of a year which gave an
American crop of 3,500,000 bales, and all authentic
accounts pretty nearly concurred in the anticipation that
there would only be 3,030,000 bales to meet the require-
ments of the present year. We might depend upon it
that we should be the sufferers by the deficiency, for it
was rather startling to know that the United States and
the Continent were now, unitedly, using about as much
cotton as Great Britain. In looking back, again, on the
past year, there was one cause for feelings of humiliation
among commercial society in the numerous crimes,
frauds, and infamies that had taken place in the year
1856. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he referred in
terms of deep regret to the death of Mr. Brotherton,
whose loss would be especially felt by all who had had
occasion to communicate with the representatives of that
community. (Applause.) On the motion of Sir J.
Potter, seconded by Mr. M. Ross, the report was una-
nimously received. The proceedings concluded with
the appointment of directors and auditors and a vote of
thanks to the directors of the past year.

SURREY SESSIONS.

SECOND COURT.
(Before P. E. Johnson, Esq.)

coNvicyriox OP ANOTHER TICKET-OP-LEAVE CONVICT.
Richard Burke, 26, a ticket-of-leave convict, was in-
dicted for unlawfully attempting to break into the dwel-
ling-house of Frederick Alloway, No. 16, Queen's-square,
Horsemonger-lane.
Alfred Duacombe, a very intelligent lad, residing
with his parents at 19, Queen's-square, said that on
Saturday evening, the 10th inst., at 10 o'clock, he was
standing at one end of the square, when he saw the pri-
soner, two other men, and a female, ga up to the door
of No. 10. The latter stood before him with a view of
preventing his being seen, but witness distinctly saw the
prisoner do something to the door with an instrument
be held in his hand. At that time Sergeant Raymond
entered the square, when two of the men and the female
ran off, and the prisoner was about to go in another
direction, when the sergeant seined hold of him and took
him into custody.
Mrs. Alloway said that on Saturday evening at five
o'clock she left home, having locked the door and secured
the house. She returned at 10 o'clock, and found that
not only had the lock been tampered with, but the box
bad nearly been forced from,the door-pest. 4,he informed
the court that in August last, while she was gone to the
hospital her house was entered and robbed off every port-
able article of value, even the sheets and a ounterpanes
were taken off the beds. She knewnothing of the prisoner,
but he and his companion must have watch ed her out,
and no doubt they were the parties who robbed her

house.
Sergeant Raymond, 22 M, said that o wit ig to many
robberies being committed. in the neighb ourhood of
Queen's-square a strict watch was kept by the police,
and on Saturday evening, about 10 o'clock he was passing
through, when he saw some men and a woman standing in
the doorway of No. 14. He immediately pm :sued them,
when two men and the female ran off at the end of the
square and the prisoner over towards her, an d he secured
him and took himanto custody.
In defence, the prisoner said that a fern's, le asked him
the way to the Surrey Theatre, and after he told her he
was going about his business when the °oust able stopped
him.
The jury, without the least hesitation, rat; arned a ver-
dict of guilty.
Wm. Bellamy, 95 B, here informed then Court that
the prisoner was tried and sentenced to 10 years' trans-
portation about four years ago, and he *had recently
been liberated with a ticket-of-leave.
The Chairman told him that he had been found guilty
of a misdemeanour, and the law did not allow him to
transport him. He should, however, sent e nee him to
12 months' hard labour, and at the expire. tion of that
he should have to serve the rest of his term.

SPORTING NOTES.

THE HANDICAPS.—ODIOUS COMPARISONS.
Mr. Topham and Mr. Johnson completed their labours
simultaneously. The Handicaps for the Chester Cup
and the Great Northern are now placed before the
public. For the Cestrian event, although the top weight
is 9st 21b, Mr. Topham has adhered to the " low
standard," and in this be has disapponted those persons
who wished to see the feather system abolished. Nearly
50 horses are weighted under sst, and of the hundred
and eighty-six nominations only nine are handicapped
above Bst.
Ihave scarcely had time to examine attentively the com-
parative chances, but I will state my present opinions
"subject to corrections." Vengeance, Typee, Pole Star'
Yellow Jack, and Lady Tatton have certainly not been
crushed. Should Yellow Jack be recovered from the in_
firmity which he exhibited towards the end of last season.
and should his understandings be all right, he will Got only
be backed, but may prove as formidable as Scythian in
1855. Still, Mr. Howard has many other strings to his
bow, and should one arrow fail he may hit the bull's-eye
with another. Lady 'Fatten I deem remarkably well in,
and a remembrance of Typee's running last year causes
me notto think slightingly of her pretensions on this occa-
sion. Maid of Derwent, whe has been heavily backed, has
quite enough weight to steady her. Mincepie, too, has an
impost. sufficiently heavy to discourage her backers, and
her owner may let game little Rogerthorpe represent
his interest. "Roger" is certainly not unfavourably
weighted. Early Bird and Flatterer, two very uncer-
tain tempered beasts, are turned loose, and should they
be i' th' vein, they may lead their opponents a merry
dance round the Roodee. Mary seemed so much out
of form last year that I am scarcely inclined to trust
her " well in "as she appears to be. Her stable com-
panion, Prince of Orange, is not harshly treated with
6st. 4lh. Syvagee is another old 'an turned loose.
According to Mr. Topham's estimate Gemma di Vergy
is the best three-years-old entered, and he is only 21bs
better than the compact Saunterer. Of all the
three-years-old, however, the chances of St. Giles,
Adamas, Schiedam, and Double Glo'ster I deem
the most favourable. Mr. Howard's lot I
shall mark "dangerous," and whichever may be
his intended animal will be a most formidable opponent.
In addition to the horses favourably mentioned above,
Claret, Leamington, Enchanter, and Bandalore are
worthy of remembrance. On the publication of the
acceptances I shall be enabled to state my views with
more distinctness. A FRESH MAN.
