Somerset, Northumberland, Argyle, and Montrose, the Dow-

33, Strand, begs to acquaint the Nirbdity and Gentry that he
has succeeded in constructing a Tooth-brush upon a new prin-
ciple, which for the preservation of the teeth and gums and du-
rability, excels any ever yet offered. The fastening is composed
of corded silk and India rubber, by which it is impossible for
the hairs ever to come loose in the mouth ; they are the only
kind that can be warranted from corroding ; persons frequently
get bad teeth and gums from these causes, the corrosion being
poison to the breath, and cancer to the gums. Families in town
and country supplied carriage free, with every kind of sponges,
brushes, brooms, turnory, mats, horse clothing, blankets, lea-
thers, and every requisite for the use of houses and stables, of
the very best quality at wholesale prices, 40 per cent. under any
other house in England. Families in the country can have a
list of wholesale prices by a post-paid application, 33, Strand"

LAW AN 0 PO Llb2l.

At Union Hall yesterday, Mr. Jones, who resides in the
neighbourhood of Vauxhall Gardens, stated that the fireworks
let off there at night caused his family great annoyance. On
Monday night a lighted rocket fell through the skylight of his
dwelling; another penetrated through the tiles of the stable,
and a third, unexploded, had fallen into the garden. The party
who attended for the lessee promised to alter the time for
letting off the fireworks, and also to remove them into some
remote part of the Gardens.
At the Stafford Assizes, on the 26th inst., George Dodd and
George Baker were indicted for stealing the mane and tail of a
horse. 1t appeared the prisoners had been in the habit of
going out at night and cutting off the hair of the mane and
tail of every horse they could catch, and selling it to dealers.
One of the prisoners had described the trade as very amusing as
well as profitable, and dilated particularly on the merriment he
experienced on seeing the astonishment of the farmers in the
morning when they found their "poor devils so queerly
trimmed. They were found guilty, and sentenced, one to
nine months' and the other to threa months' imprisonment.

for almost any period of time.—Times.
One of the most useful inventions of the present day that has come
under our observation.—Morning Herald.
We have tested the Perryian Inkstand, and have every reason to
be perfectly satisfied with the trial —Atlas.
It is really most ingenious, and not in the slightest degree liable to
get out of order.—John Bull.
Very ingeniously constructed to keep the surface of the ink at a
uniform level. where it is pre;ented to the dip of the pen. Morning

An invention truly mechruical and ingenious, purifying the ink
through a filter, in qu entities sufficient to serve for immediate and

THE QUEEN'S LETTER.—We have seen three testi-
monials to the fact of the Queen's Letter, begging for
the people, being read in church on Sunday inst. The
affair has gone off so quietly that we should presume it
has been a failure, did we not know that the charity of
the clergy and of the wealthy landords is so unostenta-
tious, that they do not allow their left hand to know
what their right hand has bestowed on the poor. In the
House of Lords, last night, Lord Kinnard very properly
called this a begging letter, which we are afraid will de-
grade the people intoyaupers, without giving them relief.
APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—We
understand the marriage of the Marquis of Waterford and the
Ron. Miss Stuart, daughter of Lord Stuart de Rothesay, is to
be solemnized in the course of the second or third day in the
ensuing month. The precise day has not yet been deter-
mined on.
