"Wel, OWLAND'S ODONTO; or, PEARL
DENTIFRICE.

This is an efficient White Powder for the Teeth, solely pre-
pared from Oriental Herbs of the most delightful odour, and of
sovereign virtue for strengthening, preserving, and thoroughly
cleansing the Teeth.
It eradicates Tartar from the Teeth, removes spots of inci-
pient decay, polishes and preserves the enamel—to which it
gives a pearl-like whiteness ; and, above all, from its disinfect.
ing properties, gives sweetness to the breath. As an anti-
scorbutic, the gums also share in its transcendent powers.
Scurvy is eradicated from them, a healthy action and redness
are induced, that offer to the notice of the medical practitioner
the most indubitable sins of their healthful state.
Price 2s. 9a. per box, duty included.

DEATH 'mom FRlGHT.—Thursday Mr. Baker held
an inquest at the Sportsman, Margaret-street, Shore-
ditch, on the body of Cecilia Palmer, aged 43, of Bird •
cage-walk. Ann Wright said that on Friday, the
9th inst., the deceased was summoned to the Court of
Requests for the sum of 2s. 3d., and the ease having
terminated in her favour, she was leaving the Court
when the plaintiff observing that she was enciente, and
provoked at the ill success of the action, exclaimed,
making use at the same time of thQ name of the Lord,
" May you never get through it." She was much
affected by what he had said, and on Sunday, the
1 1 th, was confined. The fright given by, and the ill
wishes of the plaintiff (a Mr. Manning) had great
effect upon her health, and on Monday last she died.
Witness attributed her death to natural causes, but
accelerated by the fright. A surgeon also said that
her death was natural.—Verdict, " .Natural death."
A HAT TRANSMITTED BY POST !—Among the many
novel transmissions by post, since the passing of the
new Act, that of a hat may appear most extraordinary.
We yesterday saw a superfine large-sized beaver hat,
which had been delivered by the letter carrier, but a
few minutes before, to this town from Manchester.
The postage amounted to only threepence.-- Northern

the one in Ivy-lane, in this ward, about three years
since, in which four lives were lost, suggested the pro-
priety of giving the first gratuity in case of fire to the
raising of the first ladder to the building, instead of
the arrival of the first engine. The suggestion was
unanimously adopted, and the Alderman, as well as
the different members of the Common Council) pledged
themselves to give it their support when proposed to
that Court, to be adopted as a general measure in the
City.

head and heart of the representative of a great nation.

RATHER UNPLEASANT.—On Monday last, when
the Inverary Castle, iron-steamer, was on her pas-
sage from Glasgow to Lochgilphead, it was discovered
by two of the crew, shortly after leaving Dunoon,
that she was making water rapidly, and that it had
already reached the fore-cabin floor. On the alarm
being given, the Captain went immediately below, and
on Coming upgave orders to run her ashore, but after-
wards told the pilot to proceed to Inland. On reach-
ing that place he found the pumps were keeping the
water so far under, that he resolved on rounding
Toward-point, and proceeding to Rothesay. The
passengers, who were naturally less courageous, were,
of course, much alarmed, especially as the crew ap-
peared, by their manners and gestures, to be preparing
for the worst. Fortunately, the vessel reached Rothe-
say in safety, and shortly afterwards proceeded on its
course to Lochgilphead ; many of the passengers,
however, remaining behind.—Glasgow Citizen.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT LIVER•

POOL.
On Thursday morning, about six o'clock, it was dis-
covered that the tar and resin works of Messrs. Platt
and Son, at the south end of Liverpool, were on fire.
These works are very extensive, and have fronts to
four streets—namely, Parliament, Greenland, New-
hall, and Jamaica streets. They occupy a space of
nearly 700 square yards. The tar and resin works
are in the centre, and front to Parliament and Green-
land streets. Al each end are ranges of lofty ware-
houses, one range fronting Jamaica, the other New-
hall-street, and are generally filled with general mer-
chandise. The fire, from the extremely combustible
nature of the materials on the works, soon got head,
defying all the exertions of the fire police, under the
able management of Mr. Whitby, as well as of the
Wrest of England engine, under the direction of Mr.
Whitehouse, not merely to subdue, but even to arrest
its destructive progress.
The state of the wind greatly contributed to fan
and to spread the flames. There was a strong breeze
from the south-east, which, blowing right across the
river, carried the flames in a body from the tar and
resin works to the range of warehouses at the east
end, while the intense heat fired those at the west
end. The result was, that by eight o'clock the whole
was one mass of ruin. Meanwhile, the dwelling-houses
on all sides of the burning pile were exposed to im-
minent danger, from the direct flames in one direction,
and from the intense heat in every other. The neigh-
bourhood is densely inhabited, and the alarm of the
inhabitants was great. While they were removing
their furniture, the fire police, despairing of arresting
the career of the fire in the tar and resin works, played
on the houses. The whole of those in New-hall-
street were, however, utterly destroyed, and others
in Greenland-street were seriously damaged. A school
belonging to the congregation of Great George-street
Chapel was held in the lower room of one of the ware-
honses in Greenland-street, and was, of course, con.
sumed, with all its books and furniture.
The fire was, it appears, caused by the boiling of
turpentine early in the morning.
Two men in one of the warehouses escaped from
burning by descending, the stairs being on fire, by
the jigger. rope.
The warehouses contained wheat, flour, and cotton.
The damage is estimated at 50,0001.
The flames in the contiguous premises had not been
quite subdued at the departure of the half-past ten
o'clock railway train. The breeze from the south-
west continued to blow and to spread the flames.

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT'S HARRIERS.
—His Royal Highness's harriers met on Thursday
morning on the Buckinghamshire side of the Thames,
at Ankerwycke, close to the mansion of George
Simon Harcourt, Esq., the late Member for the
county. The field consisted, in addition to the Prince,
who was present, attended by Major-General Wemyss
and Major-General Sir Edward Bowater, only of the
gentry and yeomen residing in the immediate locality
of the meet. A fine bare was soon found near the
village of Wyrardisbury, which afforded an excellent
forty minutes' run, and was killed in the park of Mr.
llarcourt. The pace was extremely fast throughout.
The Prince, who was mounted upon his favourite
hunter, took the whole of the leaps which presented
themselves (and some were of rather a formidable
character) in excellent style, and was the first in the
field up at the take. The harriers are in capital con-
dition, and went through their work in beautiful style.
THE LINEN TRADE.—Whether or not the linen
trade, in the North of Ireland, has undergone any re-
cent improvement, has, we observe, called forth opi-
nions from some of our Contemporaries, both in this
country and in England. We have made inquiry
upon the subject, and we find that all that can be said
is, that there is a feeble indication, but still an indica-
tion, of amendment. This is, in so far,
satisfactory;
but, it would be foolish to say, that any
change, to be
boasted of has yet occurred. We only trust that the
slight symptoms alluded to may increase. Some ship-
ments of yarns to France have taken place ; but we
fear that we can have little hope of trade in that
quarter, under the existing French tariff. It is, how-
ever, very satisfactory to learn, that some recent ship-
ments of Irish flax have taken place to Belgium,
France, and America; thus proving, that an unpro-
tected branch of Irish agriculture can enter into com-
petition with an article of foreign growth.—Bel-
fast TM:.

THE BRINDLE WILL CAUSE.—Our readers will
recollect, that a short time ago we gave extracts from
a petition signed by 194 members of the Roman
Catholic congregation of Brindle, addressed to
their Bishop, requesting him to prevent confes-
sors from making the wills of their penitents
in their own favour, and to oblige the Reverend
Thomas Sherburne to restore the Brindle property
to the natural and legal heirs. This petition having
met with no attention from the Bishop, a copy
of it, we, hear, has been sent to the Pope, as the peti-
tioners are determined to be hoard. From what we
learn, on good authority, a person high in office may
be expected in these parts from the Court of Rome,
to investigate the accusations which have been so
of brought against certain members of the
Roman Catholic clergy, and which have created so
great a noise in this part of the country.—Preston
Chronicle.

The Album Artesien gives the following affecting
account of the wreck of the brig Forbin, of Nantes,
Captain Ducouret. She left Marans with a cargo of
oats and beans for Toulon, and on the 27th arrived
off Parquerolles, where, being overtaken by a storm
she was driven off the Carmague, and carried by 0);
current on to the shore, from which, on the 28th, she
could see the lighthouse of Faraman. She put out
two anchors, but they dragged, and, seeing little hope
of escaping otherwise, the crew made a raft. This,
however, was carried away from the vessel's side just
at the moment it was finished. At length the vessel
was upset by the violence of the waves, and could not
be righted. The cabin boy jumped overboard, and
being a good swimmer, got safe ashore. The Captain
and his wife, the mate, and five sailors, got upon the
bulwarks, the only part which remained above water.
Madame Ducouret was several times washed off, and
was as often caught and saved by her husband. At
length she was washed under the vessel and neve,
