Deputy

mHOWARD, .. SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals 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 the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.
52, Fleet-street. At home from 10 till 5.

IAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECT UAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
;loving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
Bing William-street, Channg-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles' 131(1., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matiC Balsam. The mime and address are engraved on the
stamp.

A CHINESE LIBRARY.--The St. Petersburg Gazette
says that there is now in the Russian capital the richest
Chinese library in the world. It consists of 11,607 volumes,
1,168 wood engravings, and 276 manuscripts. Tho books
aro on all sorts of subjects, and among there there are
several rare works, one or two of which aro unique,
there being no copies of them in even the largest
libraries in China. The library was collected by M.
Skatchoff, now Consul-General in Peking, during a resi-
dence of fifteen years in the Chinese Empire. Recently
M. Skatchoff offered to sell it for 9,000 roubles (4f. each)
to the Imperial Library at St. Petersburg and the Rus-
sian Academy of Science, but both institutions were com-
pelled to decline the offer for want of funds.
The Occident publishes a list of the Presbyterian
clergymen ou the Pacific coast. Tho whole number is 69,
of whom 37 are designated Old School, 26 as New School,
one as a United Presbyterian—leaving five whose ecclesias-
tical position is not given. Of the 69, 11 aro in Oregon, 2
in Washington Territory, 2 in Nevada, and the remainder
in California ; 18 are in San Francisco, 8 at Oakland, con-
nected with the College and Female Seminary there ;
leaving 28 pastors and stated supplies for all the other
towns and cities in the State.
