FOR STOPPING DECAYED TEETH.

MR. THOMAS'S SUCCEDANEUM,
Price 4s. Gd.
Patronised liy her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
and her Royal Highness the
_Duchess of Kent,
__

This valuable SUCCE—DANEUAI for STOPPING DE-
CAYED TEETH, however large the cavity is far superior to
anything ever before used, as it is placed in the tooth in a soft
state, without any pressure or pain, and in a short time becomes
as hard as the enamel, and will remain firm in the tooth for
many years, rendering extraction unnecessary. It arrests all
further progress of decay, and renders them again useful in
mastication.

Prepared only by Mr. Thomas, Surgeon-Dentist, 68, Ber-
ners-street, Oxford street. Price 4s. 6d., and will be sent
free by post to any part of the kingdom.
Mr. Thomas continues to supply the loss of teeth without
springs or wires, and has introduced an entirely NEW DE-
SCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, which will be
found very superior to all others, as they will never decay, nor
become discoloured, and their perfect resemblance to nature
defies detection even by the closest observer. This method
does not require the extraction of any teeth or roots, or any
painful operation whatever. The charges will be found much
less than most Dentists.

Mr. Thomas, Surgeon-Dentist, 68, Berners-street, Oxford-
street. At home from eleven till four.

NAVAL INTETLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 6.—The Lords of the Admiralty are
effecting a very great improvement in the steam navy, by
giving, as often► as opportunities occur, additional propelling
power to such steamers as may require it, which form a con-
siderable majority in the service. Hitherto the space occupied
by the engine-room has been too extensive to admit of engines
beyond a certain power being supplied to vessels, which power
has been found to be inadequate to the size and tonnage of the
respective ships. The recent improvement in the engines, and
the introduction of the tubular boilers, have given so much ad-
ditional space, that vessels can now be fitted with engines of
nearly double the horse-power they have hitherto carried,
which will occupy even less space than the original smaller en-
gines. The Firefly, which is about to be commissioned for the
surveying service by Captain Beechy, has had her engines
taken out, and been .supplied with ;others of greater power.
They were the engines of the Phoenix, of 220 horse-power,
which vessel is to be supplied with others of upwards of 300
horse-power.
The Bonetta, 3, brigantine, Lieut.-Commander E. E. Gray,
has arrived at Chatham, where she is to be paid off. Previous
to her leaving the coast of Africa, the Rapid, 10, Lieut.-Com-
mander E. C. Earle, had captured a Brazilian brigantine,
named the Janerario, with 290 slaves on board, which arrived
at Sierra Leone on the 27th of November. Two other slave
vessels arrived at Sierra Leone on the same day, a Brazilian
brigantine of 199 tons, called the Independencia, and a schooner.
These vessels were captured by the Madagascar, 44, Captain
J. Foote. The Spy, 3, brigantine, Lieut.-Commander S. Ot-
way Wooldridge, had also captured a Brazilian slaver, the Furia
brig, with 530 slaves on board. She arrived at Sierra Leone
on the 28th of November.
The Larne, 18, Commander J. W. Brisbane, is expected
here next week from Sheerness. She is fully equipped tor sea
and has her full complement of men on board.
The Styx, 6, Captain A. J. E. Vidal, has arrived at Sheer-
ness from the Azores, where she has been employed surveying.
She put into Plymouth before proceeding eastward.
The Sealark, 10, Commander J. L. Gooch, has sailed for
the coast of Africa, with Commander W. H. Hill, the Go-
vernor at Cape Coast, and not of the Gambia, as has been
erroneously stated. The Governor of the Gambia is Com-
mander Edmund Norcott, who will sail for Bathurst in a few
days.
The Helena, 16, Commander Sir Cornwallis Ricketts,
which sailed from here on Monday last, had to beat down
Channel against a very heavy gale. She proved herself to be a
very capital sea-boat, and succeeded in reaching Plymouth on
Wednesday. . _

The report of the Cornwallis, 72, Captain P. Richards,
with the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, being on the
eve of returning home to England is incorrect.
The Firebrand steam-frigate, at this port, and the Comus,
18, at Chatham, are the two vessels that will next be put in
commission.

There has been a considerable mortality on board the Wil-
berforce iron steamer, on the Coast of Africa. The Com-
mander, Lieutenant Moore, and several of her seamen have
come home in the Bonetta invalided. Mr. W. D. Rowe,
clerk in charge, is stated to be among the number of those siho
have died.

The Vestal, 26, Captain Charles Talbot, is to leave Sheer.
ness to-day for Devonport, where she is to embark the Right
Honourable R. Pakenham and suite. and convey them to
New York.

The Volage, 26, Captain Sir W. Dickson, has been taken
into dock at Devonport, and overhauled. It is found that she
has not received much damage in getting on shore at Berehaven,
on the coast of Ireland.

The Satelllte, 18, Commander R. H. B. Rowley, will be
quite ready for sea by next Saturday.
The Daring, building by Mr.
,White ; the Osprey by Mr.
Blake, both at this dockyard ; the Mutine, by Mr. Fincham,
and the Espiegle, by the students of the Naval College of
Architecture, building at Chatham ; and the Kingfisher and
Flying Fish, building at Pembroke Dockyard by the Surveyor
of the Navy, Sir William Symonds, are all to be launched and
fully rigged by June, when they will form an experimental
squadron, for the purpose of testing their relative capabilities.
They are each being built upon the lines of their respective
constructors, but the plan recently introduced in ship-building
of giving breadth of beam, has been followed by them all. The
trial cruise will be of considerable interest.

SUICIDE AT BRIGIITON.—During the night of
Tuesday a lamentable act of self-destruction was committed by
a gentleman named Chilmaine, who had been living on an in-
dependency, at No. 4, St. George-street, Brighton. The de-
ceased, who is between fifty and sixty years of age, went to
bed on Tuesday night, about ten o'clock, his usual time, after
conversing with his landlord, and nothing particular was no-
ticed in his manner. Not coming down to breakfast, as usual,
the housekeeper became alarmed, and sent for the landlord,
who, getting no answer to repeated knockings at the bed-room
door, burst it open, when he discovered Mr. Chilmaine lying
in bed, with his throat cut from car to ear, so as nearly to sever
his head from the body, and a razor was firmly grasped in his
right hand. A surgeon was sent for, but of course without
avail, the deceased having been dead for some hours. No
relative or friend the deceased resides in Brighton, nor, as
far as it is known, has he any relation elsewhere. Deceased
was somewhat eccentric in his habits, but no cause can be con-
jectured for the commission of the rash act. Solomon, the
chief officer of police, on subsequently searching the house,
found a considerable quantity bf money, some receipts for Go-
vernment Stock, and some shares in the Richmond Water Com-
pany. Among his papers was found the name of his broker,
Mr. A. Barnes, 12, Copthall-court, with whom the chief
officer of police at once communicated.

Imo/
4AFFAIRS OF CANADA. •
0 THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,--I assure you it is an error to infer that
the question relating to public patronage in Ca-
nada has arisen from mere French Canadian de-
mands. It is no new subject in Canada, and it is
felt to be of the greatest importance to the
British population of the country.
The true principle is stated in the Resolutiotts-
of the House of Assembly, and as it is a dispute
to be determined between the House of-ARSembly
and the Imperial Government, the words they
use are deserving of consideration, as by them
the provincial administration will he governed. •
The House of Assembly " disclaims a desire to
call on the:Government to enter into stipulations"
respecting public patronage." The mutual con-
fidence essential to the well-being of the Go-
vernment presumes the terms to be understood,
though a respect for the prerogative, and a con-
stitutional delicacy towards the Governor, for-
bids their being expressed." This language is
perfectly constitutional, and in conformity with
the principles of British institutions. It does not
require the surrender of the prerogative. Some
person must advise the Governor, for, being a
stranger to the province, he car► have no personal
knowledge of the persons fit to be appointed to
office. Who are those advisers tube? Arc they
to be sworn and responsible advisers, whom the
Constitution has appointed, or persons unknown
and concealed, who have an interest in tripping
up the heels of the Members of the Adminis-
tration ?

If Sir C. Metcalfe had replied to iris Adminis-
tration that ire would consult them upon all
public appointments, reserving to hitnselt the
final decision, and that he would make no ap-
pointment discrediting them in the face of the
province, this dispute would not have arisen.
In England it is tire prerogative of the Queen
to appoint public officers, and, also, the ladies
about her person. Sir R. Peel did not demand
this right to be surrendered, but he desired to act
with a due respect for tire prerogative, and with
a constitutional delicacy which forbade the terms
of his accepting office from hieing publicly ex-
pressed. He could ant permit the influence of the
back-stairs and of irresponsible persons to inter-
fere with his advice. What was done in
England has been asked to be done in Canada.
No person can doubt that Sir C. Metcalfe is a
very honourable and able man, and really liked
in the province. But the Administration had to
anticipate the possibility of a Governor being set
over them who might act with unworthy mo-
tives. Moreover, it k well known in Canada that
it is a difficult matter for persons born in and
settled in tire province to gain public appoint-
ments, though their own merit may be great.
There are always in the colony many persons
with orders to the Governor for appointments in
their pockets—both the orders and the persons
among, the newest arrivals—who interfere with
the just expectations of settlers. It is this which
will give this question a Canadian and local inte-
rest, on which an almost unanimous opinion, both
of race and of population, will be expressed.

THE

STANDARD'S " GAMBLING
IMPORTERS" OF CORN.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Six,—The Standard of the 21st ult. uses the
term "gambling importers" in reference to the
importers of corn.
If the importers of corn are gamblers, pray
who made them such ?
I should say the landowners. has not the
sliding-scale upon the very face of it a tendency
and lure to importers to gamble ? Does it not
say to the importers, if you will try to get up the
averages one shilling per quarter for us, the land-
owners, to keep up our rents, we will give you
an extra profit of 2s. per quarter—give us 2s.
you shall have 4s.—give us ss. you shall have
10s.? This is precisely the effect of the sliding-
scale; for when the averages are up one shilling,
the duty drops one shilling; so the law makes
gamblers of the importers by giving them a
profit of two shillings per quarter on the rise of
one shilling per quarter in—one shilling by the
rise in price, and the other shilling by the tall in
the duty. It is, I think, sufficiently clear, with-
out further demonstration ; but, in order that
that there may be no question, let us suppose
corn to be 50s. per quarter, the duty 10s.—the
dealer gets 40s. ; but if the average should be 515.,
the duty will be Os. ; thus, deducting the Os. front
515., the importer gets 425. Yet, while the law
was so drawn as to induce the importers of corn
to play the landowners' game, they must, for-
sooth, be stigmatised as " gambling importers."
Yours, &c.,

LAW LEAGUE.

THE CURRENCY.
TO THE EDI7'OR OF THE SUN.

DEAR. Si a,-1 had nearly overlooked the letter of " Ger-
manicus" this evening, when luckily the word " Beirniard"
caught my eye.

The query of " Germanieus" is based on an assumption that
the issuer of a note engages to give the holder a certain weight
of gold for it.

No such engagement is made. A five pound note, for
example, specifies not that the issuer promises to hand to the
holder so many grains of gold, but that he 'will pay •' five
pounds." If gold has increased in prise since the issue of the
note, and silver has not, the issuer hands over a hundred shil-

lings, and the note is duly discharged.
Let us again suppose that instead of silver the issuer pays in
sovereigns; it is clear that the note (taking it for granted that
gold is the only commodity advanced in price) is really en-
hanced in value, since the holeer, who when he took the note,
could only command with his five pounds a certain quantity of
cotton, sugar, iron, &c., will, on receiving for his note five
sovereigns obtain that which, taken to the silversmith's, pro-
duces the means of commanding more cotton, &c., than before.
The fallacy is that which I noticed before, viz., the assuming
that ift he relation between two articles be changed, one must
be depreciated, forgetting that it may be that the other is
enhanced.

The fact is, that during the war the note did not go down,
but that gold went up.
Let us suppose a sudden increase in the demand for French
wines. To-slay a given sum in gold will command fifty pipes
of claret ; next year, from increased demand (or diminished
supply), the same sum will command but forty--will the gold
have suffered depreciation ? Believe me, always yours,
BtIItNIARD.
The total paper now circulating in Great Britain (including
bills of exchange) is probably little short of 360,000,000: in
all Europe perhaps not 180,u00,000 of gold could be collected.
Is the paper depreciated 50 per cent. because it is physically
impossible to exchange mere than half of it for gold?
