WITH MINERAL MARMORATUM.

'/EONS. LE DRAY and SON, SURGEON-DENTISTS, of
11 60, Newman-street, Oxford-street, London, most re-
spectfully inform their Patients, the Gentry and Inhabitants
of Liverpool and its vicinity, that they have OPENED a
BRANCH ESTABLISHMENT permanently in LIVER-
POOL, at
No. 8, RODNEY-STREET, OPPOSITE THE
SCOTCH CHURCH,
Where Mons. LE DRAY may always be personally con-
sulted, with the advantage of obtaining all the recent mo-
dern improvements in the Mechanical and Surgical depart-
ments of Dentistry, without the necessity of a journey to
London for that purpose.
Monsieur LE DRAY and SON, Surgeon-Dentists, continue
to restore Decayed Teeth with their celebrated MINERAL.
MARMORATUM, applied without pain, preventing and curing
the Tooth-ache, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. They also fasten loose teeth, whether arising
from neglect, the use of calomel, or disease of the gums.
Incorrodible Artificial or Natural Teeth of surpassing beauty,
fixed, from one to a complete set, without extracting the
roots or giving any pain, at the following Paris prices :
A Single Artificial Tooth £0 10s.
A Set
A complete Set 10 10
A complete Set of NaturarTeeth, beautifully
mounted in artificial gums or fine gold, the
same as charged Thirty Guineas l5 15
An entire Set of their beautiful Mineral Teeth,
highly finished in the first style, the same as
charged Forty Pounds
Arranged on the most improved principles, and restoring
perfect articulation and mastication.
Among the various disorders of the mouth, there is nona
more destructive than Scurvy, which, on first entering tha
gums, causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions.
A soft substance inevitably accumulates around the necks
of the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually
waste away, and the Teeth then become loose, and drop out
whole from their sockets. Could such persons only see the
horrid state of their teeth and gums, or for a moment catch
the odour of their own breath, they would not hesitate to
seek immediate relief. To professional men, shopkeepers,
and tradesmen generally, who have much intercourse with
the refined and fashionable world, a good state of the mouth
must be of the greatest importance! Besides, is not an offen-
sive breath, which in nineteen cases out of twenty proceeds
from the bad state of the teeth and gums, very much calcu-
lated to prevent the blessing of matrimony ? And how often,
from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness of the mar-
riage state most grievously interrupted by the same cause.
As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever stand
pre-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of
' complexion, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair
can render that lady beautiful, who, when she opens her lips
(though they be of coral,) discloses a set of teeth irregular or
discoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and a
sallow complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by -
a good set of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass
unnoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even.
On the other hand, the effects of decay, the accumulation of
tartar, the blackened and denuded fangs, and the taint of the
breath, which is a common concomitant of bad teeth, will
invariably prove disgusting and loathsome.—Attendance
from Ten till Six.

EXTENSION OF THE GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAIL-
WAY TO NEWCASTLE.—An important meeting to effect the
extension of the Great North of England Railway from
Darlington to Newcastle, was held at York, on Monday
last, consisting of deputations from the Great North of
England, North Midland, York and North Midland, Man-
chester and Leeds, Birmingham and Derby, Durham Junc-
tion, and Branding Junction Railways, when it was resolved
to raise a capital of £500,000 in £25 shares, for the purpose
of forming a line from Darlington to join the Durham Junc-
tion Railway, near the Houghton station, a distance of 20
miles, from whence a communication will be obtained to
Gateshead by the Durham Junction and Brandling Junction
Railways; the above Railway Companies undertaking to
guarantee the subscribers six per cent. per annum for ten
years.

A gentleman writes from Bombay that he reached India
in 341 days, and found the trip, as far as Suez, very pleasant.
At Suez, however, the heat was awful, and no air was stir-
ring the number of passengers also, going and coming, had
eaten and drank up everything : a bottle of Bombay water
was retailed from an Arab dow at half a rupee. Through
Jubal Straits and the Red Sea, as far as Aden, every en•
slept on deck until sun-rise, when the whole were obliged to
go below, where the thermometer stood at 100 deg. They
were obliged also to take 19 additional passengers, left be-
hind by the former steamer, which increase of numbers
pressed sorely upon food, and when the steamer reached
Bombay the eatables and drinkable' were entirely exhausted.

ABERAVILON—MELANCIIOLY ACCIDENT.—The danger of
leaving loaded fire arms in a careless manner has been se
often pointed out, that nothing more can be now done more
strongly to prove the danger than by relating its fatal con-
sequences. No reason, however forcible, can equal one
melancholy example. The family of Dr. Philipps, of Aberyst-
with, and resident at Pencarreg, in this neighbourhood, were,
on Saturday last, thrown into the most dreadful confusion.
About eight o'clock in the evening, the servant girl was in
the kitchen taking tea with the youngest child, a fine girl
about eighteen months old in her arms ; while the poor child
was thus unconsciously resting herself, her brother, a lad nine
years old came in, and seeing a gun in the corner, took it up,
and pointing it to his little sister, said in a playful manner,
" Lal, I'll shoot you," when, horrid to relate, the gun went
off, and the poor baby was dead in an instant. We need not
ray that amongst the many that lament the unhappy tragedy,
there is no one that feels more acutely than the poor boy—
the unhappy instrument.
WALES.—FIRES, SUICIDE, AND MURDER.—The neigh-
bourhood of Abergavenny has been alarmed by successive
conflagrations, occasioned by the hasty manner in which the
hay has been stored in mows. Two ricks, of nearly 50 tons
each, at Llanellen, a village distant two miles from the above
place, were destroyed on Sunday week ; Tuesday, three miles
further off, at Treadam, a rick of seventy tons was nearly
destroyed. In the evening of the same day a rick ignited
at Llangattock ; fortunately it was discovered by daylight,
or the fire would have extended to other ricks of hay, barley,
&c., and outhouses stored with corn. Thursday morning,
considerabl?, excitement was occasioned at Abergavenny,
from a more painful cause, that of murder, and the suicide
of the murderer. On the above day the body of a woman
was found in a large pond at Nantvglo, and the hat and the
dog of a man named Powell, a policeman, were on the bank.
When the body was taken out it was identified as that of a
person with whom Powell, although a married man with a
large family, is supposed to have had an illicit connection,
and who is now pregnant by him. Immediately on the
taking out of the body, which had some marks of violence
on it, the dog ran to another part of the bank, and on the
persons following they observed the body of a man, which
proved to be that of Powell. It is supposed that he first
drowned the woman, and then himself, to avoid the conse-
quence of the murderous act.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE BRISTOL AND EXETER
RAILWAY.—On the arrival at the Bridgewater terminus ou
Saturday last of the four o'clock afternoon train from Bristol,
the engine which brought down the train was employed, after
the passengers had left the carriages, in removing the train
from the down line to the other. To effect this transfer it is
necessary to remove the carriages from the station to a point
on the line about 150 yards distance, where proper means are
provided for transferring carriages from one line of rails to
the other. Between that point and the station is a crossing
for coaches, &c. over the rails ; the engine had already trans-
ferred some carriages from the down to the up line, and was
returning for others, with its tender in front, when, on ar-
riving at the crossing, the Exquisite, stage-coach, with pas-
sengers for Exeter, was in the act of passing over the rattles.
The tender struck the forepart of the coach, which it shivered
to pieces. The hind wheels, with a part of the bodey the
coach, coach, were forced off the line by the violence of
dth
