LOBS of TEETH, as supplied by Mr. WARREN,
Surgeon Dentbt, claims a prior attention. The safe, easy,
sad elegant construction of these most useful and ornamental sub-
stitutes, by which the first process of digestion should be effected,
are, by a nicety of adaptation and skilful arrangement, rendered
little inferior to the original Teeth,—affording an unqualified supe-
riority of power in defective mastication, even to exceed ordinary
belief. Mr. W. has also paid particular attention to the regula-
tion of Children's Teeth, a desideratum worthy the regard of every
Parent and Guardian.

With the New Nonpareil.
So firmly they're made, and so well put together,
The workmanship good, and the best of all leather ;
With STEEL.STUDDED Soles—not Cocker could tell
What miles you might walk in the real Nonpareil.
Their utility, comfort, and ease will be found
Every time that you set your feet down to the ground ;
Neither metal heels, tips, nails, not aparablea sell,
Because they won't wear like the Studs Nonpareil.
As the trade have determined to hinder the sale,
I'll tell you the shop—where those shoes they retail,
At 11, in GiLTsrua STREET, LONDoN, they sell
The Acme of Boots and Shoes, card Nonpareil.

Of the poor man's supporters, the real Nonpareil.

Who quadrille, waltz, and dance in the gallopade round ;
And so smart are they made that the most dashing belle
Fits her foot to the shape of a nest Nonpareil.

So intently pursued by child, woman, and man,
My advice is to all who in speed would excell,
To order a pair of the best Nonpareil.

Shall be equal to any that run in the race ;
t or the old wares of Crispin no longer will sell
To those who " March on" in the cheap Nonpareil.

You'll find that the prices are moderate and fair;
And though in good qualities Acmes excel,

Previous, however, to entering into the hallowed obligation of
marriage, it becomes an impressive duty, not only to regulate the
passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities
which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon
it. To the neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those
hapless instances, which, while they excite the commiseration of
the beholder, should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach.

SIERRA LEONE, May 14.

As news from this scene of death is always anxiously received by
the feeling part of our countrymen, I Mtn advantage of the present
opportuqity of addressing you. This colony has, for some months
back, and up to the arrival of our present Go►ernor (Col. Findlay,)
been in a state bordering on open rebellion. Some of the few re-
maining individuals, after the late dreadful epidemic, so far from
feeling thankful for the preservation of their lives, awoke from the
cowardly lethargy into which they were plunged (while the disease
was raging,) and commenced sowing the seeds of discord and dis-
sention. Eleven slave vessels, unadjudicated, were lying in the
harbour, the officers and crews of all suffering, as usual, from the
effects of the climate, and from the filthy state of the muds, on
board of which they were obliged to remain until the broils and
squabbles of the Government were settled. Now, thank Goo, mat-
ters are going on more favourably, and, setting aside our miseries of
climate, all augurs "MIL The squadron, with the eiceptloa of the
Sybille, arrived here during the first week of April, all healthy;—
the Primrose, Captain Parry, from a cruise to the northward, where
he had been for the purpose of searching rivers, in one of which
the boats under the command of Lieut. Butterfield captured a Spa-
nish schooner, with 79 slaves, of which number two had been for-
, merly captured and liberated by vessels of our squadron. This, by
the bye, is, I am sorry to say, too frequently the case ; and it is a
well-known fact, that a trade of this kind is carried on to a great
' extent. A large vessel at a slave port on this coast, which was in a
state of close blockade, by the activity of our squadron, lost in fee-
tory, from disease, produced by confinement and want of cleanliness,
900 out of 500 of her slaves : so far is the object of humanity gained
towards this degraded race I

Now, to change the subject ; but, I am sorry to say, not to a
more agreeable one, as I have to tell a tale which will make every
Englishman shudder when he reads it. On the Slat of March the
schooner St. Helena, Captain Harrison, belonging to the Honourable
East India Company's service, sailed from St. Helena, by way of
Sierra Leone, for England, and on the morning of the sth of April,
in latitude 1. 46. S. longitude 19. 52. W. fell in with and was
boarded by a felucca, under French colours. The person from the
felucca who came on board met Captain Harrison in a very friendly
manner, at least to all appearance so, and said he merely wanted to
see the schooner's papers, which were immediately shown and ex-
amined. After this Captain 11. was ordered to leave his own ship,
and, with the papers and a boat's crew of his own men, proceed on
board the felucca for the inspection of the senior there. No sooner
did he leave than a fresh set of hands came from the felucca, and
then commenced the plunder of the vessel—.store-rooms brakes open,

Captain H.'s cabin ransacked, as also Dr. Waddell's, a passenger
from St. Helena, and a medical officer in the Company's service
there. When keys could not be found for opening trunks and writ.
ing.desks, tomahawks were used—not for the purpose alone of tak-
ing what they could, but their object was, to destroy what they could
not use. Soon after the work of destruction commenced, Captain
H. was sent back to his vessel, and, on his stepping on her deck, he
was knocked down by a blow ftom a cutlass, and afterwards
made fast soon. of the belaying•pins, with his bawds tied behind
him; they then obliged the crew of the schooner to go into the
hold and get up the provisions, spirits, packages, flee. which, on
being put into the boat, the people were driven by cutlasses out of
the hold to take to the felucca. Now, having obtained all they
wanted, the English ensign was hauled down and trampled on
deck, the single halliards cut and measured out in fathoms; and
then the diabolical cold-blooded assassins commented their dreadful
purpose with all the ferocity of a horrid demon flashing from their
eyes. I should mention that tumblers of brandy were drank by
each of the cowardly villains previously. Captain H. was then
taken hold of, and Dr. Waddell dragged along the deck to whore the
Captain was, when they were made fast back to back, and thrown
overboard, in the presence of the Captain's steward, who is one of
the survivors, and from whom I have received this shocking amount.
Some of the crew who witnessed this ran below, but were afterwards
beaten on deck with drawn cutlasses, almost all wounded. Mr.
Potter, the first officer, was covered with blood from a dreadful gash
in the arm ; how those who were driven on deck in this way were
disposed of is unknown to the survivors. Previous to the wretches
leaving the vessel, they cut away her masts and rigging, and all
went overboard ; they then, while in their boat alongside, at.
tempted akuttling her in two places, but, it is supposed, found the
sides too hard for their axes. On going on board the felucca (by
way of finishing the work) they hauled so close to the schooner that
they were heard laughing, and fired a shot which passed through
both sides of her. They then departed, making all sail towards
the northward and westward. The survivors were seven in
number, the whole complement being twenty. The manner of
their being saved is worth relating, as it proves what a pusillani-
mous, cowardly set they had to deal with. After the captain, doc-
tor, and first officer were disposed of, sentries were placed over the
hatchways, who called out for one man to come up at a time, and in
this way they continued till ten of her crew had gone on deck, during
which period those remaining stowed themselves away in different
parts of the hold, and would not answer when called on, having pre-
viously heard one of those who went on deck call out, " Good GOD,
what are you going to do?" and a little afterwards, " Loin, have
mercy upon me !" To conclude my sad tale. the felucca left about
half.past five, and, as soon as it was dark, one of the people in the
hold, not hearing any noise, crept on deck, and, to his great joy, saw
the felucca a long way off under a press of sail. The glad tidings
wore now communicated to those below, who made their •
more dead than alive. Next morning they set to work, , hail*
got a couple of small spars up as masts, they made sail, and arrived
at this place on the night of the Ist of May. The force of the ft.
Nem is said to have been one long eighteen on a pivot, commonly
called. " Long Tom," and four broadside mins, with a compliment
of about 40 men. The St. Helena mounts Jour small carronades
with brass locks, and as well fitted an arm-chest as I have MIN em.
mining Muskets, pistols, cutlasses—and " Long Tom" it was that
frightened poor Harrison, knowing he could not compete with the
felucca, either in point of metal or sailing, the St. Helena being In a
very dilapidated state : and he therefore said to his people, " Civilly
will be bat; we will give them what they want, and they will spare
our lives"—" lieu! can mews monalium !" By the St. Helena we
have sad accounts of the health of the snip's company of * Sybil*
the yellow fever having again broken out, and canyiniall b*es it.
When the schooner left, the Sybille was lying at St. Helena, midis
quarantine, with a great number of sick. In this lea attack she
has lost her Poser, Mr. Mason, an officer who had OM GO the Af.
rican station upwards of five years, and never before sick; Mr. Car.
rington, a Menne officer (whose brother fell a victim in the Garden
of Eden," Fernando Po ;") and a Mr. Burnett, a Midshipman, who
was not long from England, besides a number of her people. It ie
said, one of her Assietant-Surgeone was buried a sea la the night,
by the boats, while she lay at St. Hekna. The eqmsdron,
log of the Primrose, Plumper. and Joke, sailed sigha
on the sth of May I the Athol and Ariadne (the latter of which
had just arrived from England), for Ascension, in the hope of
seeing the Commodore ; the Clinker for Gambia, with a number
of liberated African women, for location at the Om M.
dement. The Medina remains at Sicna Letete, awaiting the con-
demnation of some of the prises, after which she sails for the Bights
—and it is to be belied she will not be long detained, as our sickly
