BRUSSELS, MAY 14.—The King set out the day before
yesterday in the morning for his seat at Ardennc. The
agent of the Cashier-General at Arlon absconded on the
9th of this month, leaving a deficiency, it is said, of
250,000 francs, which is supposed to be of three years
standing, and to have been hitherto covered by very un-
lawful means.

LUXEMBOURG.—M. Marchard, conductor of the
public works which the province is causing to be exe•
cuted, shot himself through the head with a pistol on
Friday last, at Chatillon.
CAESTRAY, MAY 12.—The works on the iron railway
from this town to the French frontier, are carried on
with the greatest activity, and advance rapidly, so that
we are persuaded that they will be completed next
month. Equal activity is observed on the French terri •
tory towards Lille, for we are assured that the works
are carried on every evening by torch light.

NOTTINGHAM ELECTION.
NOTTINGUAM, MAY 14.—The disgraceful proceedings
brought to light by Mr. Roebuck, in connection with
the late election for this borough, has roused the indig•
nation of the virtuous and independent portion of the
electors. The sincere Reformers, Radicals, and Char-
tists, will not allow themselves to be handed over to the
tender mercies of Toryism in the person of Mr. Walter.
Great activity is manifested on behalf of Joseph Sturge,
the candidate of the Liberals. The address of Joseph
Sturge to the electors has given great satisfaction ; and
the walls are already covered with bills—" Sturge and
Purity," " Sturge and Complete Suffrage," " Sturge and
Peace," "Sturge and Free Trade," Sturge and No Church-
Rate's," " Sturge and the Brotherhood of Man," meet
the eye in all directions. The Chartistv, who as-
sisted fOrmerly in the return of 'Walter, that they
Might destroy the Whigs, are equally energetic in their
support of Joseph Sturge. On Thursday night Mr. H.
Vincent arrived from Bath to aid the Liberal party. Mr.
Sturge's Committee immediately convened a public meet-
ing, which was held last night in the front of the Com-
mittee-room. At eight o'clock an immense concourse
of people assembled, and the Committee-room was filled
with the friends of the candidate. Mr. Thomas Beggs
introduced Mr. Vincent, who addressed the meeting at
great length in support of Mr. Sturge. Mr. Vincent en-
tered into an exposition of the wrongs of the people, and
pourtrayed the excellency of Mr. Sturge's character and
principles. A deep impression was made upon the meet-
ing. Mr. Sturge's return is considered certain. Mr.
Vincent will address ward meetings during next week.
Joseph Sturge will arrive on Wednesday.

The Observer of Sunday contained nearly seven
of their long folio columns of the particulars of the
' Queen's Ball, including a description of 128 of the prin-
cipal costume attires. The Observer also gave the most
copious particulars of the fires ut liamburgh, the rail-
way accident near Paris, Good—murder, trial, convic-
tion and sentence. A Monday edition of the Observer,
adapted for the country and abroad, is regularly pub-
lished every Monday afternoon.
, BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY FOR MAY.—WC owe our
thanks to Mr. Bentley for his polite attention in for-
warding a second copy of the May /Iliscillany, lest, as
has happened, the first sent had not reached us. Its
contents are diversified, as usual, and exceedingly
entertaining and, attractive.. 'We have been much
amused by an article in verse' entitled, " The
Cruel Murder of Old Fattier Prout," being a
,rejoinder to an attack on that gentleman in Ains-
worth's Magazine. We certainly think Mr. Ains-
worth has got a "Roland for his Oliver," in this spicy
and by no means mealy-mouthed reply—the thrusts at
"Jack Sheppard." &c., are fair enough. Mrs. Romer
contributes one of her stirring tales, full of absorbing in-
cidents, and which is illustrated by the graphic pencil of
George Cruikshank. The sale at Strawberry Hill,
having naturally drawn the public attention to the his-
tory of Horace Walpole, Mr. Bentley has furnished the
readers of the Miscellany with an admirable outline
of his life arid character, by the late Lord Dover;
accompanied by a beautiful, portrait from a
drawing by Muntz. " The Visit to Greenwich Fair,"
and " The Philosophy of Law," with their various pic-
torial embellishments, are gems in their way ' • as is also
the sketch by Douglas Jerrold, of " Mr. Makepeace, the
Duellist." " Rural Scenes," by Martingale, are redolent
of the beauties of spring flowers ; and " The Life and
Songs of Anacreon" is a classical production of rare
merit. In short, the wit, humour, and buoyancy of the
diverse contents of this number, both in prose and verse,
are in excellent keeping with this gladsome and promis-
ing season of the year.—Cal!donion Mercury.
The decay of the Teeth and Gums arises from
various causes; but, principally, it may be attributed to early
neglect, ill health, and the use of Tooth Powders containing
minimal and other deleterious acids, which give a momentary
whiteness to the Teeth, while they corrode the enamel !—The
extreme prevalence of this last cause is too well known to need
comment. To this fact, indeed, is principally to be attributed
the long Botanical research, which vas happily terminated by
the most felicitous discovery ever given to the world for the
preservation of the Teeth, Gums, and rireath, viz. —Rowland's
Odonto, or Pearl Dentifrice; this Powder now occupies a dis-
tinguished place at the Toilets of the Sovereigns and the
nobility throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at
once announces the favour in which it is held by the public
at large.
