MR. HOWARD, 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-
nala 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 i hat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

unpleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAII of
ANISEED; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it Is
most comforting in allaying irritation, anagiving strength
to the voice.
You are at liberty to make use of this as you think pro-
per, and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as
I have done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser-

AMERICA.

(Per the City of London via Queenstown.)
NEW YORK, Feb. 8, Noon.
Mr. Thornton, the new British Minister to the
United States, was presented to President Johnson
by Mr. Seward yesterday, and cordially received.
In his address to the President Mr. Thornton com-
municated the assurance of the Queen's friendship
towards the country over which Mr. Johnson so
worthily presided. Her Majesty's Government
felt deeply grateful for the sympathy shown by
America on account of the death of Sir Frederick
Bruce. Mr. Thornton concluded by declaring that
it would be his endeavour to strengthen the friend-
ship between the two countries.

President Johnson replied that the Queen, more
than any other Sovereign, enjoyed the respect and
the sympathy of the American people. Her Ma-
jesty's kind message encouraged him to hope for a
speedy adjustment of the existing differences be-
tween the two Governments. Sir Frederick Bruce
had won the respect and friendship of the American
Government and nation, and the same considera-
tion and confidence would be extended to Mr.
Thornton.

The Financial Committee of the Senate has re-
ported the Funding Bill, providing for a consoli-

the Government having the option of redemption
after ten years.

The Committee has also reported the Banking
Bill, removing the restriction upon the circula-
tion of the United States, and extending it to
$700,000,000.

The Louisiana Convention has rejected an ordi-
nance legalising illegitimate offspring.
General Hancock has forcibly removed the Street
Commissioner of New Orleans from his post for

The Mississippi Republican Convention has nomi-
nated whites exclusively upon the State ticket.

The North Carolina Convention has rejected a
resolution declaring that persons unable to read or
write are ineligible for public offices.

General Meade has extended the time of the
Alabama election to Saturday. There are indica-
tions that the new Constitution will be defeated.
Mr. Dickens was cordially received at the Exe-
cutive mansion by President Johnson yesterday.

Cruz to the 2d inst., stating that the Yucatan rebels
have been defeated. The forces of Juarez have oc-
cupied Merida. Generals Diaz and Escobedo have
tendered the resignation of their military commands.
It is reported that outbreaks have occurred at

ALARMING EXPLOSION AT THE CHARING
CROSS RAILWAY STATION—(This Day),

This afternoon, about a quarter before five, a
a uss
some
very alarming explosion occurred in the waiting..
room for the telegraphic
whichhioiemesse has d m
nger
a re-
s ae t thee C
sieurigo-cursossinjuu to Railwayone or two persons. The room.
or lodge in which the explosion occurred is situate
in front of the station, close upon the pavement of
the Strand, and the explosion is to be accounted for
in the following manner. One of the company's
men went to stop a leakage in the gas pipe beneath
the building, when one of the lads foolishly went to the
top of the stairs with a light, the gas issuing up the
staircase coming in contact with the flames
caused an explosion, which completely demolished
the entire inside fitting cf the lodge. Sergeant
Monktun, the detective officer attached to the sta,

Lion, was the first person on the spot, and he bravely
rushed into the lodge, and in a moment or so re-
turned carrying on the boys, who had sustained
great injury. lle at once gave directions for the
lads to be taken to the hospital. Mr. Richardson,
station master, and Mr. Cockburn, superintendent,
by this time arrived, when two other messengers
were found to have sustained some injury. These
were likewise sent to the hospital, but their hurts
not being extensive, they were attended to,
and the boys were sent home. The explosion
of course, caused the greatest alarm in the neigh.
bourhood, but beyond the damage we have stated,
nothing further occurred.
One of the persons very active in rescuing the
lads from the interior of the building was a Mr.
Young, an engineer, whose conduct on the occa.
sion merits the highest praise.

THE REFORM BILL.

Mr. SCHREIBER asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, with respect to the " inhabitant occupiers" of
parishes in which compounding acts are now in force,
but the whole or part of which it is proposed for the future
to include within the limits of Parliamentary boroughs,
from what time the personal liability of such occupiers to
the poor-rate will commence.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
first referred to was under the consideration of the Boun-
dary Commissioners; and with respect to the last in-
quiry, he thought the repeal of the Act in one parish
would entail a similar step in the other.

The Vienna papers publish an account of the

celebrating the 25th anniversary of his marriage.
They state that in the toast his Majesty proposed
he returned thanks to those who had come from a
distance to be present at ,this family meeting held
to show the intimate connection of the house of
Guelph with the Hanoverian people. He entertained
the conviction that he should return to Hanover
as a free King. His ancestors bad been compelled
to leave the country, but found upon their return a
larger Guelpbic kingdom. Providence justified
him in the belief that he too would go back to the
country as a free and independent Sovereign. His
Majesty concluded with drinking prosperity to
Hanover, and a speedy reunion in the land of the
Guelphs.
The dinner was attended exclusively by Hano-
verians.

The answer which Sir STAFFORD NORTEICOTE last
night returned to Mr. FAwcErr's questions respect-
ing the fortunes of our Abyssinian expedition give
forcible evidence of the manner in which rumour is
apt to outrun truth. Had the unfavourable re-
ports which have lately reached us been circulated
during the recess there would have been no means
of testing their accuracy, and they would have re-
mained uncontradicted, causing much anxiety and
apprehension to those directly connected with the
expeditionary force, and exciting general uneasiness
and dissatistaction. Happily we are in the midst
of the Parliamentary Session, and Mr. FAWCETT'S
inquiries have elicited a statement of the true posi-
tion of affairs from the Secretary for India, which
is altogether different from the news we have been
hearing. There has been from the first a party in
this country who, whether from dislike to war under
anp circumstances, antipathy to increased taxes, or
a desire to prejudice the movements of the Govern-
ment, have studiously taken the most dismal view
of the expedition and all its belongings. The
climate, we were told, was fatal to Europeans,
and when this was disproved by the health of the
captives under most trying circumstances, we heard
that the scarcity of provisions and lack of water
would effectually bar the progress of an invading
army. Then we were assured that the Abyssinians
were so much afraid of their tyrant that they
would certainly oppose us most strenuously at his
bidding,
an assertion which has been completely
disproved. Besides all this, most alarming accounts
were in circulation respecting the Guinea worm,
the Isetse fly, and other intangible but deadly ene-
mies, which lay in wait for mau and beast on the
dreaded plains of Abyssinia. The mortality among
the mules and horses has unfortunately been very
great since the landing of our troops, but with this
the Isetse fly has nothing to do. As for our men
they have enjoyed excellent health, and have found
the climate to be neither oppressive nor injurious.
Sir S. NORTHCOTE being less informed than the
croakers has heard nothing of the scarcity of
water, and Sir R. NAPIER is eaually ignorant. The

THE DEATH OF THADDEUS STEVENS.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)

Although confidently expected, the bald fact, as
flashed along the Cable, comes with the suddenness
of surprise. But last week this veteran politician
held a foremost place in the American political
arena. All knew that he was mortally ill, scarcely
able to stand, scarcely able to speak, with sallow
cheek and sunken eye, this old man of unconquer-
able energy still held his place, still fiercely faced
his foes, and still turned in haughty defiance on his
friends. Those who did not see the decrepid frame,
but read the reports of Congressional proceedings,
could not realize the fact that the extreme leader of
the extreme party was tottering on the grave. It
is because THAD. STEVENS, more than any other
man stricken by age and sickness, has died in har-
ness—died on the floor of the House, that the
vacancy comes on us almost with a startling shock,
leaving a great place empty, before so thoroughly
filled. THADDEUS STEVENS was born near the
town of Peacham, in Caledonia County, State of
Vermont, April 4, 1793. Dotted over the green
mountain district were the rude homes of the yeo-
manry,ind in one of the rudest and most isolated
this great American politician first saw the light.
His mother, who appears early to have been left his
sole guardian and support, was a respectable, hard-
working woman, but little TfIAD. never knew the
joyousness of childhood. Away up the hill-side
stood the school to which he daily toiled on his
club foot; and moodily and alone went that
sullen boy ; never mixing with his fellows,
fiercely repelling their advances, and living as
lonely a life as ever fell to the lot of childhood.
He graduated at Dartmouth College, in the adjoin-
ing State of New Hampshire, and finally left his
native hills while a very young man, and, strange
to say, never to return. While in Pennsylvania,
in 1814, as a teacher in an academy, he seized the
opportunity of studying law, and was admitted to
the bar in 1816. He was first elected to the State
Legislature of Pennsylvania in 1833, continuing
almost uninterruptedly till 1841, being returned
also to the Convention to revise the State Consti-
tution. He was appointed a Canal Commissioner
in 1838, and removed to Lancaster, a town about
sixty miles west of Phi!adelphia, where in 1848 he
was elected a State Representative to the 31st Con-
gress, returned for the 32d, 36th, 37th, 38th, 39th,
and was re-elected to the present Congress, re-
ceiving 14,298 votes, against 8,675 thrown for his
Democratic opponent, Reynolds. He was a mem-
ber of the Baltimore Convention in 1861, and last
August the University of Vermont conferred on
him the degree of LL.D. Like most young New
Englander's of his day, when starting in life, he
traded as a pedlar, and so successfully that he even-
tually became one of the great manufacturers of
Pennsylvania. In LEE'S invasion a portion of that
General's troops penetreted into Pennsylvania, and
naturally the vengeance of the Confederates fell on
the property of the most bitter foe the South ever
I had. a d STEVEN'S Mills were burnt down, and

LAMBMIT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving 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.

THAMES.

TILE FREQUENCY OF SUICIDES AT THE LONDON
DOM—Mary Ann Harris,
a young woman, was
brought before Mr. Paget charged with making an
attempt to drown 11,?.rself in the waters of the Lon-
don Dock, in Red Gravel-lane.
A lighterman saw the prisoner get upon the
railings of the. swivel bridge in Red Gravel-lane,
Ratcliff Highway, and she was, about to plunge into
the water when the lighternaan and others pulled
her down and saved her.

The prisoner, in her defence. said that she was
tipsy, and was very sorry for what she had done.

Mr. Paget said that there were a great many of
those cases. Poor, wretched, drunken women had
been continually brought before him and his col-
league for making attempts at self-destruction.
Many had been taken out of the water and saved.
He asked the height of the railings.
Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, replied four feet,
and that they were upright rails.

Mr. Paget could not help thinking that the rails
might be made much higher, and these attempts
frustrated.

Mr. Livingston, the chief usher, said that there
were bridges of a similar description, which were
used as thoroughfares by the public over the locks
at Foxe's-lane, New Gravel-lane, and Old Gravel-
lane, and they were opened when required for the
admission of ships paising in and out of the docks.
At all those places there had been many attempts,
and some of them had terminated fatally. There
was another bridge lately constructed and opened
and shut by hydraulic power, and the railings were
of sufficient height to prevent any of those attempts.
The Lighterman—That is a latticework bridge,
and is moved backwards and forwards, and not
swung like the others. The dock company employ
men with boats to save life, and there are drags in
constant readiness all over the docks and quays.
Mr. Paget said the increase in the height of the
railings would be much better, and prevent these fre-
quent attempts. He should like to see a person in
authority connected with the thck. He remanded
the prisoner for a week.

Catherine White, who had been under remand
for a week in the Clerkenwell House of Detention,
and who made a similar attempt at the same place,
was brought up, and Mr. Paget, having received a
favourable report concerning her front the chap-
hat of the prison, dwcharged her,

THE NEW AMERICAN MINISTER.

The Hon. Reverdy Johnson, the newly-accredited
Minister to England from the United States, with his
wife and family, arrived at Southampton on Saturday
morning in the North German Lloyd steamship Balti-
more, Captain W. Voeckler, which vessel left Baltimore
on the afternoon of the Ist inst. On landing, the distin-
guished party proceeded to the Dolphin Hotel,
in the High-street, where Mr. Johnson determined
to remain for a day or two to enjoy a little repose
and rest, Mrs. Johnson being somewhat fatigued
by the voyage. The hon. gentleman, on leav-
ing Baltimore, was escorted down the river by a
large number of personal friends on the steamer Chesa-
peake, and about a dozen steamers and tugboats crowded
with passengers. The Baltimore was decorated from deck
to topgallantmast with flags and signals, and her railings
fore and aft with evergreens, and the entrance to the ship
from the gangway was arched with flowers and evergreens.
On passing Fort M`llenry a salute of thirteen guns was
fired, and flags were dipped on board ship. Mayor Bank,
of Baltimore, toasted Mr. Johnson in behalf of the people
of the city whom he claimed to represent, and wished him
a pleasant voyage. Mr. Johnson responded, and in the
course of his remarks said ;" I go to England as a minister
of peace. My instructions look to peace, and if I am able
to carry them out in the spirit in which they are given to
me, peace will be the result. So obviously is this the
interest of the two nations, that the good men of both will
strive to make more firm and enduring than ever the peace
now existing. We arc the same people, descended from
the same stock ; and no matter how much we may have
differed in the past and have met on sea or land, we are
now satisfied that it does not pay us to be at enmity.
We ought to stand together and maintain the principles
of political liberty. There is another Government which
has stood
.by us in the past, and whose interests and ours
are the same, and I ask you to join me in a toast to the
King of Prussia and the able representative of that
monarch, who is always a consistent friend of the United
States, and endeared to us all who have known him during
the many years he has represented his Government in this
country." Baron von Gerolt expressed gratitude for the
kind recognition by Mr. Johnson, and reiterated a firm
and devoted friendship to the Government and people of
America on behalf of himself and his Government,
