Mons. JAMES M. and S. MALLAN, Surge. Dentists.
respectfully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and nhabitants of
Liverpool and its vicinity, that they have ; .ened an Esta-
blishment,
.permanently, at No. 23, ' ODNEY-STREET,
opposite Leece-street, where Mons. Malian may be consulted
DAILY throughout the year. They continue to fill up the
cavities of Decayed Teeth with their Mineral Succedaneum,
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 Mineral 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 invariably accompanies a decayed
tooth.

Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there
arc 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 it
is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. TO those so
affected, Mons. JAMES M. and S. MALLAN have to inform
them, that they can effectually remove this destructive com-
plaint by a single application, with the slightest pain.
Mons. MALLAN begs to introduce to the notice of his
Patients and the Public, an entire new description of IN:
CORRODIBLE ARTIFICIAL TEETII, 'and With con-
fidence guarantee them to answer every purpose of Mastics.
tion and Artic►lation, and defy detection from the closest
observer. They never change colour or break, as those now
used, are fixed without wires or ligatures, and have no un-
pleasant odour or unnatural gloss. This method does not
require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and
will give support and preserve Teeth that arc loose, at fixed
and moderate Charges.

Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.
Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth,
and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original

For the convenience of country patients, Messrs.
JAMES M. & S. MALLAN are enabled to fix a partial or
complete set of Teeth at one sitting, without the least pain or
inconvenience.

CAUTION TO LANDOWNERS ADJOINING -RAILWAYS.—A
farmer's lad, answering to the name of William Radcliffe,
was summoned before the magistrates, at the petty sessions,
on Monday, to answer an information laid against him for
leaving a gate open at Winwick, leading on the Gaand Junc-
tion Railway. The defendant it appeared had. acted under
the impression that it was the duty of the policeman em-
ployed on the line to shut the gate after him, and although
remonstrated with on the impropriety of his conduct, he very
resolutely refused to comply with the injunctions and request
of the policeman stationed there. On the 15th of July he
was very saucy, and left the gate open, so as to allow an ass
to stray on the railway just at the moment a train was ap-
proaching. The magistrates told the defendant that he was
compelled to close all the gates not upon the public high-
road, and with a view more forcibly to enforce the law upon
his mind, ordered him to pay a fine of ss. and 3s. Gd. costs.—

KNIGUTIIOOD : A NEW ORDER.--Classification is neces-
sary in honours as in everything else. In most countries
there are orders conferred upon civil merit, and orders con-
ferred upon military merit: in ours there ought to be some
distinctive name and badge for the order so frequently con-
ferred upon no merit at all. In Shakspeare's time, knights
of this order seem to have designated " knights dubbed
upon carpet consideration, and with unhacked rapier." In
the time of George the Third, we had Hatfield Knights and
Peg Nicholson Knights. All of these have been alloWed to
become obsolete : ought not advantage to be taken of the
recent buckling of spurs upon the heels of sundry loyal
mayors, to christen them once for all ? The name of the
culprit, whose crime or supposed crime elicited their harm-
less zeal, suggests a sufficiently euphonous appellative. We
have already Oxford graduates, Oxford sausages, Oxford
tracts, and Oxford ale : the last, by a natural association
with a potboy, suggests the title of—Oxford Knights. The
analogy of contrast " comes to the rescue "—to speak in
knightly phrase. The great recommendation of. all such
aspirants is that they have " wherewithal to support their
rank." Her Majesty's " poor Knights of Windsor" will
be nicely balanced, as a painter might express himself by
her " rich Knights of -Oxford."

ABSURDITIES OF HUMAN LIFE.—To call, a lout with an
ass's head, and horse-hair wig, your " learned brother." To
allow a swindler to become a legislator, evade the laws that
honest men submit to, and then call him your " honourable
friend."—To go to law for five pounds, when you may get
off by paying ten.—Not to understand that might is right.—
To assemble ten thousand fools to see you ascend in a bal-
loon, and to expect any thing but regret, if you don't break
your neck.—To study any thing but humbug ; when it makes
an income of 410 per annum only fifteen hundred !—To buy
cream in the neighbourhood of a lime-kiln.—To eat pigeon-
pie in the rook season.--To go out shooting with a cockney,
and feel astonished if you discover the charge in the small of
your back.—To quarrel with a turnpike man within ten
minutes to twelve, as he is sure to wrangle over the time.—
To ask the painter of your portrait, " Is it a likeness !"
To abuse red hair, or refer to brimstone, in Scotland.—To
go into an Irish regiment, unless you wish to become a sub-
stitute for the target in the shooting gallery.—To expect an
American in France to deny that he is an Englishman, if
asked the question.—To imagine for a moment, that a man
with a large collar and no wristbands has got a clean shirt
on.—To meet a man with a crack in his boot, and believe
it has taken place " since he came out."—Not to deduct a
clear half from anglers' weight and number. To snuff wax
candles at a Christmas party, and fancy people will believe
you when you say " you always make the mistake."—To
fancy yourself a lady LOVE when you are sixty, because you
have two feet and a half of underground humanity, crammed
into " second blue Saxony," larded with Brummagem.but-
tons," and called by yourself, your little foot page."—To
expect a Frenchman to confess that the English won the bat-
le of Waterloo. To endeavour to outlie a Yankee.

SIGHT RESTORED !
NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE CURED ?
GRIMSTONE'S CELEBRATED EIygNUFF,
tinder the patronage of his late Majesty, he Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Kent, and the Lords the Treasury)
IS universally recommended by the Va. ty for its efficacy
in removing Disorders incident t le Eyes and Head.
It will prevent Diseases of a Scroful s Nature affecting the
Nerves of the Head. In cases of Nervous Head-ache it is
completely efficacious, and gives a Natural Sweetness to the
Breath. It may be taken as frequently as other. Snuffs, with
the most perfect safety and gratification to the consumer.
Wash the eyes every morning with warm milk and water, to
remove whatever secretion may have been produced during
the night.

•
Dr:ABEHI4ETHY used it, and termed it the Faculty's
Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum.
Dr. ANIMEWS also recommends its use as a preventive.
(See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times,
Cheltenham Journal, and British Traveller, in Nov. 1831.)
He says, " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect
on the stomach, as well as the nerves of the head, from the
tenacious sympathy of the membrane of the nose with the
nervous system, that Grimstone's Eye Snuff, when taken
frequently, must prevent any contagion entering the system,
and recommends its universal adoption. Dated Nov. 10,1831.

From the John Bull, 6th May, 1839.—We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cheltenham Journal, being struck by its re-
ference to that eminent and successful oculist, James Ware,
Esq., F.R.S., whose opinion touching the subject of which
he treats will be read with interest. The discovery of Mr.
Grimstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing
influence on the nervous fabric of the head, possesses the un-
questionable power of relieving, assisting, and prolonging the
sight even to extreme old age.—Editor.
Cheltenham Journal, 22d April, 1839.—" That most emi-
nent oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., was so strongly im-
pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that in
the third volume of the Medical Soc:ety's Works, page 334,
this able oculist read several cases of gutta serena cured by
the plentiful use of snuff. This snuff was made without the
aid of tobacco, that being too great a narcotic to be used as
a remedy. The anticipations of this gentlemen have been
fully realised by Mr. William Grimstone, the Inventor of
Eye Snuff, made from aromatic herbs, so judiciously ar-
ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye,
ear, and the delicate organs of the head, to produce a certain

" There are, perhaps, few articles which are so universally
used as snuff, and various and innumerable. have been the
devices to tickle our noses at the expense of our pockets, but
there is only one snuff—albeit many have been attempted—
which has proved of any value, or indeed realised the inten-
tion of the consumers. Grimstone's Eve Snuff is a delightful
and fragrant compound, and possesses properties peculiarly
its own; for, unlike all other snuffs, it is really of essential
and important service to persons of studious habits, and of
weak and infirm sight ; and if we may judge by the numerous
medical gentlemen who have borne testimony to its merits,
and the many well authenticated cures it.has performed, it is
not undeserving of the high esteem which. it has already
attained, not only in this but in other countries."-01d Eng-
land, 11th January, 1840.
" 'We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is
a safe and powerful restorative.-211anchester Chronicle.
GRIMSTON E'S EYE SNUFF.—Notwithstanding the sys-
tem of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolis, we
rsally must claim for Mr. Grimstone the distinction of being
a benefactor to his species. We have had ocular demonstra-
tion of the value of his snuff, which we tried out of curiosity,
having at the same time a slight affection of opthalmia, which
the use of the snuff very speedily removed. We therefore
cordially recommend it to the public."—Crown, Aug. 26,1838.
" If any testimony were wanting to prove the efficacy of
Grimstone's Eye Snuff, we should be most happy to throw
ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already
possessed by the inventor. Literary men, and individuals
accustomed to sedentary habits or long reading, will find this
snuff invaluable in keeping off headache, dizziness, &c.

SUGAR AN ANTI-SCORBUTIC.—It is a curious fact tila
in countries where sugar is much used, scurvy and other cu-
taneous diseases are almost unknown. On board American
vessels, where the seamen are allowed the use of sugar at
pleasure, such a disease as the scurvy is scarcely ever heard
of; and would the cheapness of sugar permit the British ship-
owners to be as liberal to their seamen as the Americans are,
the health of that class of men would be materially improved.
WATER SPOUT AND HAIL STORM.—On the afternoon of
Friday last. a water spout, accompanied with an unusally
heavy shower of hail, broke out on a turnip field situated to
the westward of the farm offices at CrailingTofts. The water,
which rushed down the declivity with the violence of a torrent,
carried along with it a quantity of the soil across the turnpike
road into a Old of barley on the opposite side, whereby a con-
siderable portion of the grain was pressed down covered with
clay to a considerable depth. For some time great difficulty
was experienced by foot passengers passing the place from
the accumulation of hailstones, which covered the road at one
part to the depth of at least 18 inches.—Kelso Chronicle.
During the morning of Wectnesday a large flagstone, near
the Post-office, New-road, Driffield, attracted attention being observed to have risen about three inches from its bed
without any visible cause. On being lifted up by Mr. Wir
Clark, bricklayer, to ascertain the cause, he di
large species of fungi, or gross mushrooms, growing the flag. The mushrooms were two and a half inches high
but much flattened with the pressure, weighed 141 b., and the
largest measured six inches in diameter. The power must
have been very great to move the flzer, since it was lastly
bedded and wedged in between those adjoining. Similar cir-
cumstances have also lately occurred in other parts of the
town, which may be attributed to the very wet season.
TORPIDITY OP REPTILES.—On Saturday last as a shin 7,
wright was sawing a piece of oak, 35 feet long, and two feet
diameter, he discovered at about 12 feet from the root, a
small cavity in the centre of the wood which contained a
frog. The surrounding part of the timber was perfectly
sound, indeed in the whole piece there was not even a crack.
The frog was immediately removed and placed by the mall
in his tobacco-box. Nourished by the heat of his ck
the reptile soon evinced symptoms of life, but it wag copo
nfinedet, in such an unhealthy atmosphere, it was not very lively,
nevertheless it lived for more than 18 hours. 11 is supposed
the tree was upwards of 200 years old.—Yorkshire Gazette.
POPERY AND SOCIALISM.--On a recent occasion, Mr.
O'Connell, in his place in the House of Commons, inquired.
whether Socialism had made any progress in Ireland? in-
tending by this question to attribute its absence to the moral
influence of popery. Mr. Owen, the originator of this dia-
bolical system, visited Dublin in 1823, and called a meeting
at the Rotunda, for the purpose of propounding his views ;
but the detestable nature of his principles were ably exposed
by several gentlemen, belonging to that class of protestants
who are contemptuously called saints, by Mr. O'Connell and
his party. But who introduced Mr. Owen to the people of
Dublin ? Mr. O'Connell himself. Now mark the unblush-
ing effrontery of the man. As the Magnus Apollo of popery
he introduced the leader of the Socialists to the Irish people
in 1823. Notwithstanding his patronage, Owen and his
principles 'were banished from the Irish capital by some
faithful and gifted protestant men. Yet in 1840, Mr. O'Con-
nell calls on the British public to give popery full credit for
the absence of Socialism from Ireland. Mr. Owen's patron-
age reminds us of the trite proverb, " Like master like man."
In 1839, he was introduced to the Queen of England by her
Majesty's prime minister, Lord Melbourne, having been
previously introduced, in 1823, to the people of Ireland, by
Lord Melbourne's master, Mr. Daniel O'Connell.—illorn-

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.--(From a Sydney
days ago, as a vessel, bound for New Zea-
land,aboutev to sail out of the heads of Port Jackson,
one of the intermediate passengers attracted the attention of
pape r was A f
the water police authorities who accompany each ship until
her final departure from our shorts. Though habited in
male costume, the passenger alluded to could not conceal
feminine gait and manner, and giving but vague and unsatis-
factory answers -to the queries which were put to her, she
was suspected to be a runaway female convict, and as such
was taken ashore. Being marched .up, in her male attire,
from the female watchbouse to the barracks, for identifica-
tion, it was discovered that she was a respectable middle-
aged single lady, of considerable property, who formerly
was governess in two or three families of the very highest
respectability in Sydney. When interrogated by Captain
Imes, the superintendent of police, as to the cause of her
being disguised, she unhesitatingly answered that she was
about to
ins, a landed estate at New Zealand, and fear-
g that the native chiefs and others with whom she might
have to treat in her purchase, might be disposed to tak
due advantage of her sex, in making the bargain, sli
resolved to pass herself off as a man. The vessel, which pro.
ceeded without the passenger of doubtful sex, conveys pro-
perty of hers to a very considerable
amount, as well as
upwards of X9OO in cash. The lady has also extensive pro-
perty in Sydney, which, it is said, she intends to convert into
cash, and with it, to follow her fortunes in the new colony
