lowest Rates of Premium consistent with the security of the

variety of ways, to suit the circumstances and convenience
of the Assured. Arnow.; others, whore the Policy is made
payable "On the Assured attaining Sixty years of age, or at
Death, if that event should happen previously," is particularly
deserving of attention.
In the Mutual Branch of this Institution, the Policy-holders
are entitled to the Entire Profits of the Branch, which are

may be applied either in Reduction of the Yearly Premiums
until the ensuing period of division, or in Additions to the

those Policy-holders who are not immediately entitled to par-
ticipate in the profits, but who will have paid five yearly
premiums before the next ensuing division; thus affording to
the Assured all the advantages of an Annual Division of Profits.

THE NOBILITY.
MR HOWARD'S WHITE SUCCEDANETIM,

For Filling Decayed Teeth, however large •the cavity. -It is
superior to any thing ever before used, as it is placed in
the tooth in a soft state, without any pressure or pain, and
in a short time will become as hard as the enamel, and will'
remain firm in the tooth for many years, rendering extrac-
tion unnecessary. It arrests all further progress of decay,
and renders them again useful in mastication. All persons
can use the SUCCEDANEUM THEMSELVES WITH EASE,
as full directions are enclosed.
Prepared only by THOMAS HOWARD. Surgeon Dentist,
17, George-street, Hanover-square, London, who will send
the SUCCEDANEUM free by POST-to any part of the King-
dom.—Price 2s. 6d.—Observe ; the SUCCEDANEUM is
sold in SEALED Packets, with full directions for use en-
closed, and the Signature of THOMAS HOWARD, in Red
Ink, on the outsideof the Wrapper. Sold by Thompson and
Son, Chemists, Church-street, Liverpool ; and all respectable
Chemists and Medicine Vendors in the Kingdom. Price 2s. Gd.
LOSS OF TEETH. A New and Curious Invention con-
nected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. How-
ard; it is the introduction of an ENTIRELY NEW DE-
SCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL T R-E TH ,• fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They. so perfectly resemble
natural teeth as not-to be distinguished from the originals
by the closest observer.. They will never change colour or
decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever
before used. This method does not require the extraction of
roots, or any painful operation, and will support and pre-
serve the teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore
articulation and mastication. The-invention is of importance
to many persons, and those who are interested in it, should
avail themselves of this. New discovery.
MR.. HOWARD, SURGEON DENTIST,
17,GEORGE.S7'REET,HANOVER-SQUARE,LONDON.

A.t home from eleven till tour. -
This new: method of fixing Artificial Teetb, has obtained
.:he approbation and. recommendation of the following emi-

Surgeon to Her Majesty; Sir D. Davies, Physician to Her
Majesty the Queen Dowager; Dr. Merriman, Physician to
Her R. H. the Duchess of sent ; and numerous other mem -.
bers of the Medical Profession. Those interested in the
subject will find this statement of the superiority of these
teeth ever all others to be entirely and scrupulously correct.

TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 18, 1853

THE WEEK.

AT the meeting of the Town Council, on Wed-
nesday, a considerable amount of business was
done in deciding upon the recommendations of the
several committees, but the object was effected by
a great expenditure of eloquence, owing to the
strong desire which seemed to prevail for making
speeches. A subject of great interest was brought
before the Council by Alderman PARKER, who
produced some magnificent potatoes which had
been grown on the Sandhiils, near the Southport
Railway, by the sole aid of Liverpool sewage.
Such a conversion of offensive refuse is a subject of
too much importance, in a two-fold sense, not to
demand further investigation into the practica-
bility of its extension, so that Liverpool might be
cleansed from her impurities, to be returned in the
shape of food.
The Town Council has decided upon the North
side of Shaw's-brow as a site for the new building
for the Free Library and Museum, owing to the
lower side of St. George's-hall being bespoke for
Public Baths. As the latter site will be occupied
by a public building, it removes the objection to
the Library not being placed there, but we cannot
see any force in the remark, that the Library
would obstruct the view of St. George's-hall, as it
ought not to be a lofty building.
The extra concert of the Liverpool Philharmonic
Society, on Tuesday, was a brilliant affair, sur-
passing the most sanguine anticipations of its
success. Every seat in. the spacious building had
been engaged long before; and in order to accom-
modate, as far as possible, the many who applied
for admission, extra seats- were placed in every
available space, and all were occupied, even to the
standing room in the galleries. The audience
comprised the youth, beauty, and fashion of the
neighbourhood for several miles round. Another
musical treat is in store in the' performance of the
London Orchestral Union, on Tuesday next.. This
band comprises the leading professors on each
particular instrument, and, as they have practised
well together, the result is a perfection of harmony
and a completeness of finish which surpasses even
the magical effects of JIILLIEN'S celebrated band..
The arrival of the Golden Age, from New York,.
on Wednesday,. added another to the gigantic
steam-ships for which Liverpool has gained a well-
deserved celebriV. She will leave here in a short
time as one or the Golden Line of packets to
Australia, and wilt then form the pioneer of the
new route by way of Panama, which wine effected
by a double line or steamers, viz., from- Liverpool
to-Chagres, thence across the Isthmus by railway,
and then from Panama to Australia, so that,
although we may see the Golden Age no more,
she will still be employed in the conveyance of
Liverpool passengers and Liverpool good's- to the
gold regions of Australia.

On the 19th of September an earthquake was felt at St.
Thomas. At Belize, a spaniard has been executed for the
murder of Colonel Henderson.
HONDURIS.—A treaty of peace, with a boundary line,
is just completed between Yucatan and the Indians'
through the mediation of the British Consul at Honduras.
NEW ZEALAND.—From the official accounts of the re-
venue and trade of the colony, it appears that the revenue
of Auckland for the last four years, ending 1852, has been
pretty stationary, at from £19,500 to £20,000. The
official value of the imports averages £lOO,OOO ; last
year it reached £138,578, but this included £35,000 of
specie. The value of the exports, in 1852 vas £77,953,
against £41,641 in 1851. There are now about. 6,000
tons of shipping belonging to the port of Auckland, and
a most profitable trade is carried on in grain, roots, tim-
ber, &c., with Sydney and Melbourne. Australian gold
has placed considerable means in the hands of the colo-
nists ; and, although labour has been scarce and dear, the
spirit of the people and the fertility of the soil may be
determined from the fact that, on the very first day on
which the modified regulations (by which agricultural
land became purchaseable at 10s. and pastoral land at
ss. an acre) took effect, not less than 21,000 acres were
applied for.
INDTA.—We have advices by Overland Mail from Bona-

bay to the 12th September, ind Hong-Kong to the 24th
of August. Of political news in India there is a barren-
ness. It may, however, be interesting to those who
give India some real consideration, to know that the
Governor-General is employing the respite from war to
look into the internal condition of the country. The
accounts from Burmah are most unsatisfactory,—the
famine, though abating, is still very severely felt; the
troops are sickly and disgusted, and the country; every-
where out of sight of our posts, is literally possessed by
large bands of robbers,who, there is too much reason to
believe, are instigated by the Government of Ave, with
the object of laying waste our new territory, and compel-
ling its inhabitants to emigrate into Burmah Proper.
CHI:CA.—We are in possession of advices from Shanghai
of the 7th of August, being 26 days later than by last
mail. Though the accounts we have of the rebellion are
general, they agree as to the successful progress of the
insurgents northwards. It was reported there had been
hard fighting in the Honan province ; but the rebels forced
their way through without apparently sustaining any
severe reverses, and had crossed the Yellow River into
Shantung province, the capital of which, Tsi-nan-foo, it is
given out, had fallen. They were- pushing on towards
Pekin in great force, and it was the current belief that a
division of the rebels was not far from that capital; but
the vague reports of its having been taken seem pram-
: ture. The insurgents retain Nankin and: Chin-kiang-foo.
At the latter place there had been a smart engagement
with the Imperialists, in which the latter were completely
routed, and obliged to retire, the insurgents taking a
place towards Soochan, which caused great consternation
in that city, and which would, no doubt, shortly be obliged
to submit. Amoy, up to the 10th of August, remained in
possessiOn of the rebel's,: but the Imperialists werelo make
another effort, in force; to retake it in a few days. In an
attempt to take the Imperial fleet, the rebels were unsuc-
cessful, and very unfortunate in having several of their
vessels crriven on the Mandarins' war junks, and-taken,
and all on board were Beheaded. The place had been
visited by, a severe typhoon, causing great damage- to
houses and property. Letters from Canton mention' that
the commander of the Imperial troops at the Melin Pass
had sent to Canton for assistance and instructions how to-
act, as the rebels were-marching on the pass.
AusTRALIA—We have advices from Sydney via' Ph-
nama, to the 10th of July, up to which date there had
apparently been- no further important alteration in the state'
of the import markets. Large quantities of goods, it is
said, were being- continually forced to sale ; but the evil '
is attributed to the want of storage rather than to the •
supply being such' as to necessitate- ruinous sacrifices, the
consumption being-very great. Minding materials and
furniture continued in extraordinary demand. Little
intelligence is communicated regarding the mines in
either colony, the means of communication being almost
suspended from floods and other causes peculiar to the
season. It is said, however, - that the yield at the Ovens
continued to be very large. A consignment of 10,000
sovereigns had been lost at Geelongrfrom the Gsmanli
steamer, in its removal to "a boat, iii24'feet water, but was
expected to be recovered. Should such not be the case,
the lbss would fall upon London underwriters. The
Chusan steamer, with the 'overland mails from England,
was due on the 13th orJuly, but had not yet been re-
ported. The Argo steamer, belonging to the General
Screw Company, which left Southampton on the Bth of
May, was reported to have arrived at Melbourne previously
to the 10th of July, and her mails were at once taken on
to Sydney by the Hellespont. She is expected to accom-
plish her return voyage by about'the 20th of the present
month. The Osmanli steamer, from Liverpool, had also
eached Melbourne.

Noun" AUSTRALIA.—The Lords of the Treasury have
granted the application which General Haug has made to
them for a new exploration of the northern part of Aus-
tralia. The sum placed at the service of the expedition,
under the recommendation of 'the Royal Geographical So-
ciety, is £2,soo:—"'General Haug proposes to start from
the mouth of the Victoria Riier with a carefully selected
body of guides and explorers—to ascend this fine river to
one of its sourees—to continue-his journey from that point
in an easterly direction, the precise route being determined
by the nature of the soil and its:overgrowths. This move-
ment across country will bring the party to one or other
of the many affluents of the streams running northwards
into the Gulf of: Carpentaria. Afterwards, General Haug
proposes to strike into the interior, and settle the great
question of whether there is, or is not, a great central de-
sert in that continent. So far as the Victoria River has
been traced, it was found to be navigable—or capable of
being made so—and the country -beyond the range of the
explorer was seen, to be green and beautiful. It may be
hoped that the practical difficulty- which now confines the
colonist in his movements, and prevents a rapid settlement
hi many quarters of Australia, will • now be removed by
the lights of an ample knowledge of 'its internal geogra-
phical features."
A ISI E R I Clet..
ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA.

By the British and North American Royal Mail Steam-
ship Africa, Captain Harrison, we have advices from New
York to the sth instant.

The Africa sailed from New York ab 0.30, p.m., on the
sth instant. Tory-Island Light was• passed at 2.50, a.m.,
on Saturday; at 510, Nin., passed the Niagara, hence for
Boston ; and at 9.50, p.m., saluted the Rock Light, having
made the run in 14) days 4 hours and 734 minutes.
The Africa brought $BOO,OOO in specie on freight.
Among the passengers were Mr. W:Jackson, M.P., and
Mrs. Jackson ; Mi.. Betts, Captain' Jeathes, Mr. T. M.
Tarleton, U.S. consul at Melbourne, Australia, and lady ;
Sir Hereford an& Lady Brydges, and'about eighty others.
The U.S. mail steamer Baltic, Captain Comstock, arrived
at New York, from this port, at- 7:15, a.m., on the 3rd
instant.

The Hon. James G. King,. formerly president of the
New York Chamber of, Commerce; had expired suddenly._

The 4,000 tom ship, Great Republic, Was successfully-
launched on the 4th at. Boston, in the presence of 30,008
people from all parts of the country.
Telegraphic advices from New Orleans, to the 3rd, an-
nounce that the deaths from, yelloW fever for the previous
twenty-four hours did not exceed six, and that the Board
of Health had atermined to discontinue their daily reports,
considering the epidemic at an, end. At Mobile, on the
4th, the sickness was abating, only two deaths having oc-
curred from yellow fever the previous day.
Oh the Ist instant, the coast of New Brunswick wa&
visited by one of the heaviest gales experienced during-the.
last twenty years. Ten English and Norwegian vessels
are reported to have been driven on shore, but the parti
culars are not-given.
The steamerCrescentCity-,which had arrived etNew York
from Aspinwall, brought nearly $1,000,000 dollars ih gold
dust, about $40,000 of whlh were from Australia; being
the first arrival of any large amount from that country,
via the Isthmus of Panama.

Late news frem Utah states that the Indiana_: had re-
cently killed many of the white inhabitants, and that
the utmost consternatiOn prevailed in consequence. Go-
vernor• Brigham Young had called the military force of
the territory into service, and, as a further. measure of
protection, had ordered a wall to be built around the city
of Salt Lake.
Adviees from Havana to the 27th ult. report the land-
ing- of 600 African Slaves at Trinidad de.Cuba, the pro-
perty, being disposed of with the consent of the local
authorities. The facts had been brought before General
Canedo by the British consul. It was, stated that one
thousand negroes had been landed within the month, and
that the sufferings they had undergone on the passage
were awful. Numerous arrests had taken place of par-
ties supposed to be inclined to insurrection ; others had
been exiled. The suspension of Messrs. Diago, with lia-
bilities to the extent of $1,250,000, was rumoured. The
barque Appoline had put into Havana in distress, part
of the crew having died from yellow fever.
