AND FILLING DECAYED TEETH WITH MINERAL MARMORATUM
MONS. LE DRAY & CO., Sulgeon-Dentists, respectfully
inform the nobility, gentry, and inhabitants of Liverpool and
its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment nerma-
nently at No. 70, S I',EL-STREET, eight doors from 'Berry-
street. They continue to fill up the cavities of decayed teeth
with the Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat,
or pressure, it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid
state, and in a few seconds gets hard, preventing and curing
the tooth-ache, arresting all further progress of decay, and
rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The mi-
neral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful
tooth, but by completely stopping up the cavity prevents
effectually that unpleasant taint of the breath which invaria-
bly accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the teeth and gums, there
is none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent than scurvy, and it is well known that the loss of
teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects
individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the
primary cause of tooth ache and decay; to those so affected
Mons. Le Dray anti Co. have to inform them, that they can
effectually remove this destructive coin plaint by a single ap-
plication without the slightest pain.
Artificial and natural teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed front
one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving
any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, answering all
the purposes of mastication and articulation, remaining per-
fectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and repla-
ced by the wearer with the greatest facility—at the following
Paris charges :
A single Artificial Tooth Et/ 10 0

are not aware of the nature of the process by which such
beautiful results are obtained; but we conjecture that
the casts are made from wood-cuts. The ornaments
include a variety of devices in ordinary use among
printers. The impressions are fully equal to any
wood-cut engravings that we have ever seen. From
the cheapness with which these polytype casts can be
produced, and their extreme durability in comparison
with wood, there can be very little doubt of their gene-
ral introduction into the trade. Mr. Branston's well-
known talents as an engraver is a sufficient guarantee
for the beauty of the designs.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, DEc. 15.

The supplies to our Corn market have, this week, again been on
a liberal scale. There has, at the same tune, been only a moderate
retail demand for Wheat ; and, although holders. g,nerally, have
been unwilling to accede to any reduction, purchases have been
made at prices rather below the quotations of this day se'onight.
Flour has been much neglected : 63s to 64s per sack are extreme
rates for Irish manufacture. Oats have not • met a free sale, but
have undergone little or no change as to value. At yesterday's
market the general runs of Irish were offering at 3s Sd to 3s 10d per
451bs : hest mealing qualities were held for Ft to Id more. Oatmeal
35s to 355.6 d per 2401b5. The demand for Barley has riot been quite
so brisk as during the previous week ; still several parcels have
been sold : 42s to 46s per qr. the range of prices for English : 5s 9d
to 6s per 60Ibs for best Irish. Beans and Peas as last noted. The
duty on foreign Wheat being again at the lowest point, is per qr.,
the bonded stocks of this grain will be released: the quantity to
liberat4 here is about 39.000 quarters. •

POETRY AT SIGHT.

(From the Comic Almanack. )
A remarkably successful operation has just been performed-.
by Mr. Curtis, on the eyes of an elderly lady, who bad been
blind and deaf from her birth. The following letter to her-
niece has been sent to us by her friends, to show the rapidity
of her literary acquirements immediately on her attainment:.
of the power of vision ; and such of our readers as can fancy
themselves deaf will certainly see it to consist of capital_
rhymes.
Dear Dolly, I'll thank you to send the cocoa,
And Susan, who brings it shall take back your boa.
Pray, tell Dr. Bleed'em I've got a sad cough;
1 caught it while watching young Hodge at the plough.
I thought the day fine, and was simple enough
My umbrella to leave, so got wet through and through,
For it came down in torrents. Your poor aunt was caught:
In the rain; and I afterwards sat in a draught.
This made me much worse, but experience I bought,
And I'll never more trust to the sunshine and drought!
Welc I made myself dry, and I sat down to tea:
Of the good that it did me you'd form no idea.
But I quite hate the country, the weather's so rough :
So you'll see me, dear, soon in your little borough.
1 hope after all, that my cold will be trivial;
But still you may send me that stuff in the vial :
In the kitchen you'll find it, just over the trough_
Oh, my cough ! oh, my cough ! it all comes off the plough.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1838-12-18

THE PRINCIPAL PERSON.

VERSES, DATED "WINDSOR CASTLE," AND SUPPOSED TO LIE
WRITTEN BY LORD MELBOURNE.
I am monarch of all I survey,
My will there is none to dispute ;
Front the castle all round, ev'ry way,
I seem lord,—both of man and of brute !
O Windsor ! how great are the charms
That monarchs have seen in thy face ;
Who would dwell amidst London alarms,
Who could reign in this beautiful place ?

I am out of the enemy's reach,
I must finish my office alone ?
There is much in the music of speech,
But more in the sound of my own.
Tis true I have long been iuur'd
To the ways of a gallant, forsooth,
And can please by my wisdom matted,
While 1 cheer with the sallies of youth.

" The Premier !"—what treasures untold.
Reside in that mystical word,
More precious than silver or gold,
Or all that this earth can afford.
The strangers who come by "the train,"
My form with much deference see,
First they look at her ➢Majesty, then
They all turn their eyes upon me !
" Is that my Lord Melbourne," they ask,
" Who walks by the side of the Queen
To pull off my hat is a task,*
But I know what the good people mean.
Society, friendship, and pow'r
So freely bestow'd upon man,
When I post up to London each hour
Seems an age 'till I get back again.

Ye wags who have made me your sport,
I care not at what your wit levels,
You may spread, if you please, the report
That 1 lodge in the tow'r call'd the Devil's.
But don't be misled by a name,
Could you only the Devil's Tow'r see,
You would say, as all said when I came,
That place was the fittest for me.

Former Premiers to Windsor might come
On a visit just once in a year,
But I make the castle "my home,"
And get the most excellent cheer.
The servants before bow me down,
And I as the master appear,
The mistress 'tis true wears the crown,
But still I am under it here.
• When the Queen has been walking on the Terrace the Premier
has been observed as the only gentleman of the royal party who
has not taken off his hat.
