CROCKERY TEETH.—Among the many 4‘ im-
provements," mineral, or crockery teeth, says Mr. Poe-
land, hold a consllicuous place in the advertising world.—
(if their reel utility little cat be said ; that they are cleanly,
la admitted. and, in same few instances they may be made
to look well; but that only can be done by being placed
singly on gold plmes, inserted in hone socket., or pivoted to
atumrt ; end even, then, the brilliancy of the glaze, or eta.
.reel, renders them a conspicuous mark of observation. In
complete sets they tire liable to scrious objections. First,
however aecut ate the motel of the mouth may Lc taken, it
is n:cessary to make cherations in die piece, in order to its
fitting perfectly air.tigh.; t. ithout which, nu tooth, or teeth,
can be worn wilt comfort. The mineral teeth, once made
cannot be ultered; therefore, it' they do .10. at accurately,
the gum must be forced to lit them. &coldly, their heing
composed of porcelain, causes a di.agregabl.: j. rriug of clat-
ter the mouth ;so much E 0 as to be henril by tile person
to photo .he aearer speaks. Thirdly, being it.' it .Iml-porous
convosition, they aluitys I.el cold and sh.avy requiring a
very great s,rength of apric:; to force, and ke.tp tacit in
their place., which being more than the. jaw can bear, c.:uses
pain under the env, a eortaant Bush of beat to .he eyes,
and zhogother produces such unpkwau f...liogs, that bot
few persouti are able to ce dare them, fee any lenA ci time.
They are composed of baked earth, covered unit en e..funcl
Bu:, and coloured to imitate nature. Many of them, how.
ever, have Mt. little resembluce natt...-t, their oreq.te,
livid eppearauce, very much reaembling earthenware. The
te.th to be seen in .he mouths of figuros on a porcelain jar.
will atFord a tolerably coerce . idea of this compositio.t. anti
the elatter'of a ehina-woman's basket, that of their erect iu
one's mouth.

LAMENTABLE CATASTROPHE.
Beteg Ronan (Loossunat), MAT 21.—0 n the mothin;
of last Saturday, about Is miles below New Madrid, th-,
steamt.boat Coosa, Captain Cain, ascending the river, eit
v.
in contact with the steam.bost Huntress, descending; ;
Huntress being heavily laden, her bow struck below tht
guard of the Coosa, and to use tl:e words of the Captain,
with whom we have conversed, " made a hole in the Coon
as large as a door." We did not kern that the Reams%
received any damage. Captain Cain does not attach any
blame to the Captain or 011etTS of the Huntress, but nn
ti. contrary, speaks in terms of gratitude for the lmely au
Whwded by the yawl of the Huntress, that of the con,
having been taken possession of by the mate, who remained
st & distance from the boat. The cabin of the Coon p
from the hull, and boated, which was the means of saying
some of the passengers that doubtless would have perished
had the whok gone down together. The night bch:g eery
dark,:added to the confusion incident to such a metal:dui,
accident, lessened the means of rescue The above fact
were stated to as by Captain t 'ain, in addition to wbieb b'
has furnished the following, with a
.request that it might b,
made public :
" At half past three o'clock on the morning of SAturclat
the llth ins.. rear Islard No. 13, the pilot sang out to et
that there was a boa. coming down meeting us, upon which
I cried out • Stop her ;' at d on examining, as well as the
darkness of the night would remit, 1 was slanted to see
the mar *preach of n boat, aril told the pilot to • back be,
instantly,' but the text n:omenr, before any retrograde rno.
don could be given to the paddles of the Coosa, the tee
boats met; I ran down to see if we were damaged, and heard
the water pouring in order the larboard bow, upon which I
ordered the pilot to wake for the rearrest shallow landing;
I then run into the ergire platter, sad told the engineer to
• give Iter all the steam, for the boat is stove.' Thence I ran
to the Ladies' cabin to rouse diem and the other passengers,
All hands bring row awake, I called on the mate to prepare
for landing the beat. I ucw repaired to the Ladies' cabin,
but while I was goirg roui.d upon one gangway the paw.
gers went forward upon the other, by which I missed them.
The next moment the bow of the best went down; the most
of the passengers were collected on the boiler deck. When
the cold water of the river came in contact with the boilen,
which were much heated, there being a heavy head of steam
-at the time, an explosion took place which shattered the
boiler deck, when the people either jumped into the river, or
were washed from the boat. Thirteen persons are missing;
among whom are, Mr. Thompson, of New Tort, and his
daughter, 13 years of age; a Dutch Gentleman, taken that
the mouth of White River; one black passenger, the cook,
two firemen, and the second engineer, all blacks; and five
deck passengers, names not known, as we lost our list.
" The darkness of the night, in connexion with the cot.
fusion created by the accident, prevented the pilot front se-
lecting a shallow landing, and the boat went down in deep
water."
