AN HISTORICAL, FINANCIAL, AND STATISTI-
CAL ACCOUNT OF THE REPUBLIC OF
CHILI, from 1822 to 1839. By the Retired Governor of the
Island of Juan Fernandez.
Captain Basil Hall, R.N., F.R.S., s just published his
sixth edition, entitled, "Extracts f o a Journal written on
the coasts of Chili, Peru, and Mexi ,in the years 1820, 1821,
and 1822." And in the advertisement to his work, after al-
luding to it and the momentous scenes passing at that period,
says aslellows • •
"A similar work, or one executed in the same plan, at the
Tresent moment, after an interval of nearly twenty years,
would unquestionably afford matter for one of the mostip-
teresting, and, perhaps, useful. comparisons between promiTk.
and performance, that the political wdrld has ever witnessed."'
--London, March, 1840.

This has emboldened me to oger theabove information to
my countrymen : the MSS. are ready for the press, and if
encouraged by a sufficient number of subscribers, those who
are interested with the history of that part of South America,
and more especially the bond holders, may soon have a re-
trospective view of what has been the occasion of the, non--
payment of their d'vidends ever since 1826 ; as well as a
faithful and impartial statement of the resources of Chili.
The work will be completed in 2 vols., Bvo., price 205..
illustrated with maps and engravings. Subscriptions received
at the Standard-office, Liverpool ; and by Mr. SUTCLIFFE,
Welbeck -street, Ashton-under-Lyne.

SCURVY in Me GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED.
ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED

WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLASPS.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.
And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Ma oratum.
MoNs. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-De sts, respect-
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and In ants of Liver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have open Establishment
permanently at No. 38, 814:1ight doors from
Berry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De-
Toterp4/
cayed Teeth with their 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, pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell
into a sound and useful tooth, hut, by completely stopping
up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of
he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there
are 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, La DRAY and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain.
Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed
from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or
giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an-
swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation,
