BEAUTIFUL TEETH.
ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or PEARL
DENTIFRICE.
A WHITE POWDER, compounded of the choicest and most re-
cherche ingredients of the Oriental herbal, of inestimable value in
preserving and beautifying the Teeth, strengthening the Gurus, and in
giving Sweetness and perfume to the Breath. It extirpates all tartar-
ous adhesions to the teeth, and ensures a pearl-like whiteness to
the enamelled surface. Its anti-septic and anti-scorbutic properties
exercise a highly beneficial and salutary influence: they arrest the
further progress of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy action of
the Gums, and cause them to assume the brightness and colour indi-
cative of perfect soundness ; while, by confirming their adhesion to
the Teeth, they give unlimited enjoyment and fresh zest to appetite,
by perpetuating effective and complete mastication.
The Proprietors of this Dentifrice pledge themselves that its effi-
cacy iu preserving and embellishing the TEETH, far surpasses any-
thing of the kind ever yet offered to the public, and has, In conse-
quence, obtained the patronage of Royalty and the Aristocracy
throughout Europe.—Price 2s. 9d. per box.
CAUTION.—To protect the public from fraud, the Hon. Commis-
sioners have directed the Proprietors' name and address thus,

EYEBROWS MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a

GRIMS TON E'S AROMATIC
REGENERATOR.
If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human
figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist er druggist, or perfumer, an 113.
bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Iler-
bury, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant,
lierbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th
of August, 1846.
This pamphlet is forwarded through the pest, en receiving two
postage stamps.
The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7r. 6d., or 125., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The Its. size contains four of the 4s.
A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published
in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a businesS. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause
—the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Headach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67
cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of
oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq.,
altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of
the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Fsq., to
Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was
on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in Ca. 1119-
ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of
Government it is obliged to be stamped.
GRIMSTONE'S MEDICATED EYE SNUFF, sold in canisters,
inclosed in a pamphlet of medical and other testimonials, under the
Government order, at Is. lid., 2e. 9d., and 4s. 6d. each. The
Pamphlets sold at Id. each. If through the post, Is. Bd., 3s. 6d., and
ss. Bd., including postage, &c. The following letter is one out of the
many thousand proofs.
Read the following Medical Testimony to the cure of five cases
of Gutta Serena, from G. H. Boutell, Professor of Galvanism:—
" Southsea, near Portsmouth, Hants, sth Nov., 1848.

" Ma. W. GILIMSTONE.—Sir—I must in justice to you send the fol-
lowing Testimonial with regard to the extraordinary efficacy of your
Eye Snuff in cages of Gutta Serena. I have used it in five cases with
the most astonishing benefit and cure. Sir, you may advertise this 1 !
or make what use you please. The cures have wholly astonished
me and thousands of ethers.--4 am, Sir, &c.,
G. H. BOUTELL, Professor of Galvanism."

All letters to Mr. William Grimstone, Herbary, Highgate, near
London, at which establishment he continues to manufacture his
far-famed HERB TOBACCO, so much esteemed in all foreign parts.
The following letter, in testimony of its delightful qualities, is from
the author of tke " Pleasures of Home :"
" Springfield Cottage, Honiton, Devon, 15th August, 1848.
" Str,—l cannot deny myself the pleasure of stating how highly I
esteem your Herb Tobacco. I have now found in it a substitute for
the choice leaf, hitherto obtained by me from a friend in Constanti-
nople. lam sure that lovers of mild, fragrant Tobacco would find
yours a great and acceptable gift, at a very reasonable price.
" I am your obedient servant,
" STUART FARQUHARSON, D.C.L.

LLANRWST, APRIL 16.-There was not a large quantity

ing, through which the police were discovered by a
man on the other side, who immediately quitted the
passage. An order was given to force this door
with sledge-hammers, which, having been done, the
gaslights were put out by some one connected
with the house. The fourth door was next assailed;
but being constructed with inch plank, bound with
iron, and secured with heavy bolts, it resisted the
efforts of the police. After ten mieutes' unavailing
battery, the door was opened from the inside. The
police went up to the first floor, and there found all
the defendants except Woodward, who was in another
room. Some of the party were engaged in a game
of billiards—others were having supper. The Su-
perintendent, when he entered the room, told the de-
fondants he had authority from the commissioners of
the police to enter the house, and to take all persons
found therein, on the ground that they were there for
au unlawful purpose. The defendants were taken to
the station-house and searched. Upwards of 4001.
was found among them, and on Richards were disco"-'
vered bills and I 0 U's for nearly 2,0001. The hotta
was searched in which the defendants were found;
but no gaming implements whatever were discot4ia:
Mr. Clarkson, who was retained for the defendants,
said there was not the slightest evidence to show than
the defendants were assembled for any unlawful pur-
pose ; and therefore he claimed their discharge from
custody.
Mr. HARDWICK decided that the evidence did not
support the charge. There was nothing to prove
that anything illegal was going on in the house, 111-
though the mode in which the doors were secured was
significant that something was going on, but that was
not evidence enough to-make out a case of gaming.
If cards, dice, or other gaming implements had been
produced, that would have been direct evidence of the,
parties being assembled there for the purpose of gam-
ing. In the absence of such evidence he must order
the defendants to be discharged.
SOUTHWARK.

Yesterday Madame Maria Lemaire, the wife of the
proprietor of an exhibition at the Rotunda, in the
Blackfriar's-road, was brought before Mr. Hammill,
charged with attempting to throw herself into the
river at Blackfriars-bridge.
William Clarke, a young man, stated that on the
preceding night, as he was returning home about nine
o'clock, his attention was called to the defendant,
whom he saw descend the steps of Blackfriars•bridge,
on the south side. Suspecting that her intention was
to commit suicide he followed her quickly down the
steps ; and she was about to precipitate herself into
the river, having thrown off her bonnet and shawl,
when he seized the back portion of her dress and held
her firmly, notwithstanding her efforts to disengage
herself from his grasp. He then led her up the steps,
and gave her into the charge of a policeman, who took
her to the station-house, and she seemed to witness to
be under the influence of liquor at the time.
Mr. Binns said that he appeared for M. Lemaire,
the husband of the defendant, who rented the pre-
mises known by the name of the Rotunda; that on
being apprised that his wife had made the attempt to
drown herself, he immediately repaired to the station-
house, and there had an interview with her. M.
imaire had instructed him to state that the defen-
dant was, unfortunately, addicted to habits of in-
toxication, and that he could not possibly live with
her any longer, finding that all his efforts to break
her of the propensity were unavailing. That on the
preceding day she left home, saying that she was
going a short distance, at which time she was per-
fectly sober, adding that she should return shortly.
She, however, did not come back until the morning,
being out all day, and she was then under the influ-
ence of liquor and quite incapable of superintending
any portion of the exhibition that was then going
forward; that her husband was so disgusted with
her conduct that he refused her admission, and it
appears that it was subsequently to that refusal
that she proceeded to Blackfriars-bridge, and made
the attempt upon her life as described by the wit-
ness who had prevented her. M. Lemaire had,
however, instructed hint to state that he was
perfectly willing to grant his wife a separate mainte-
nance, an offer which be had frequently made to her,
and that as it was quite impossible for him to live any
longer with her, as sbe_would inevitably bring ruin
upon him and his children, he was now prepared to
enter upon any arrangement for that purpose ; that
they had been married fourteen years, thirteen out
of which she was in the habit of drinking to excess,
and this was not the first time she bad attempted self-
destruction, for not very long ago she precipitated her-
self from Hungerford-bridge into the river, and on
that occasion was with difficulty saved.
M. Lemaire stood forward, and, addressing the ma-
gistrate in imperfect English, expressed himself to the
effect that he was compelled to adopt the line of con-
duct towards his 'wife as described by. his solicitor, for
it was quite out of the queition that he could live any
longer with a woman so completely devoid of all feel-
ing for him and his family in consequence of her
drunken habits.

The defendant, who stood at the bar crying, op
being asked whether she was willing to agree to her
husband's offer of allowing her a separate maintenance,
replied in the affirmative ; and

11r. ilemstur, then said that he should give them
an opportunity of arranging the affair ; and Mr.
Binns subsequently announced that the defendant had
agreed to live with her mother.

The MA.GISTRATE gave her a serious lecture on her
conduct, which, if persisted in, must eventually lead
to her utter ruin ; and, as she promised not to repeat
the attempt upon her life, she was liberated, and lefq
the court with some of her relatives.

William Osborne, a private in the 30th Foot, on
route to Weimer, was placed at the bar charged with
riotous conduct in drawing his bayonet, and threaten-
ing to stab some persons in a public•house in which
he was billeted.

Joseph Walsh, police•constable 282 M, stated—
This morning I was on duty, at half- past one o'elock,
at Stone's-end, and I saw the prisoner go into the:
IVaggon and Horses, and he had his firelock on his
shoulder. I afterwards heard a noise within, and
then saw the prisoner, with his bayonet fixed, in,
front of the bar, threatening to run it through
different persons, and amongst them some women,
who were standing near at hand. I interfered,
and requested the prisoner to unfix his bayonet, and
put it up in the scabbard, telling him that he ought
to know better, as a soldier, than to act as he
was doing. The prisoner, however, refused to
do as he was desired, and exclaimed that he would
not mind stabbing me with it; and as he still con-
tinued to flourish such a dangerous weapon about, and
to threaten those in the house, I seized his musket
and bayonet from him, and observing that he was not
sober I took him to the station-house. On the way
to the station-house the prisoner was extremely riot-
ous in his behaviour.

Mr. John Bray said—As I was passing the above
house, hearing a noise within, I looked in and saw
the pri3oner with his bayonet fixed, in the attitude
of charging some persons who stood at some distance
from him, and amongst whom were some women.
The latter were so frightened thatthey screamed out,
and from the state of excitement in which the
prisoner appeared, evidently from liquor, I was fear-
ful that he would have stabbed some of the people
present. I afterwards saw the policeman interfere,
and heard the prisoner exclaim that he would not
mind running his bayonet through any policeman.
In reply to the magistrate, the witness said that the
prisoner was under the influence of liquor, and that it
was only miraculous he had not stabbed some of the
persons whom he had threatened.
Mr. ILLsouiLL to the prisoner.—What have you
to say in answer to the charge ? Prisoner
—I was drunk at the time, and do not know
what I did. I had been knocking about all the
afternoon, and got drinking. I got a billet on a
public-house, but, being a stranger, could not find
it; and, in fact, I did not know what I was doing,
and have no recollection that I drew my bayonet,
let alone fixing it, and threatening to make a charge
with it.
In answer to further questions, the prisoner said
that the regiment was passing through London from
Manchester on route to Weimer' and that he received
his billet, but could not find the house.
Mr. Hamm', said that a non-commissioned officer
ought to have been appointed to see;that the privates
were at the houses in which they were billeted, in-
stead of allowing them to roam about the streets of
the metropolis, as this man was, armed with his mus-
ket and bayonet, and in a state of intoxication. The
Magistrate added that the prisoner had disgraced
himself by such behaviour as that given in evidence
against him—namely, drawing his bayonet and
threatening to stab some civilians who happened to
be near him, as well as the policeman who interfered,
and very properly so, for their protection. Such
misconduct on the part of the prisoner he (the magis-
trate) could not permit to go unpunished, and as an
example to him in future not to act in such a man-
ner, he should sentence him to be imprisoned fur
seven days.
The prisoner was then removed.
LAMBETH.

BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.—Yesterday James
4.llVVair and James Keer were placed at the bar be-
fore Mr. Norton, on a charge of burglary and rob-
bery at the Southampton Arms public-house, Nine-
elms.

From the evidence it appeared that so late as twelve
o'clock on Wednesday the prisoner 11.1‘Nair was seen

[PRICE SD.

in front of the Southampton Arms, and at three
o'clock on Thursday morning Police-constable MA-
cliff,lBl V, having heard the noise of some footsteps in
the yard looked over the yard gate, and saw M'\ air
coming down the steps leading to the back door. In
a moment or two the prisoner came over the gate ;
and upon being asked what brought him there, he
said he expected some Norman cows by the rail gay,
and he was waiting to receive them. The constable
very foolishly allowed him to go about his business.
Mr. Hippesley, the landlord of the Southampton
Arms, deposed that about three o'clock on Thursday
tnorning• he was called up by Rateliff, the constable,
and on coming down stairs he found his bar door open,
also the back door, and the front door was only closed
by the ordinary latch. On examining the bar he
missed eight half-crowns, two five-shilling packages
of halfpence, about twenty cigars, and a quantity of
tobacco, some of which was made up into penny
screws. On comparing some of the latter with some
screws found in the possession of the prisoner they
exactly corresponded. In conclusion, Mr. Hippesley
said he knew the prisoner M'Nair from his being the
son of tho former landlord of the Southampton Arms,
and saw him at his house as late as nine o'clock on
Wednesday night.
Jamea Scudda, potman to the prosecutor, said that
on Wednesday night, while putting up his master's
shutters, he saw the prisoner WlNTair sitting in front
of the house, and spoke to him, and after that he fas-
tened the back door in the usual way with both bolts.
He knew the other prisoner Keer, but bad not seen
him on the Wednesday night.
The only evidence against leer was his being seen
with the other prisoner at an early hour on Thursday
morning, and having in his possession when taken
some screws of tobacco precisely similar to those
stolen from .the bar of the prosecutor.
The prisoners were remanded to a future day.
