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 Toothe-ache, arresting all
further progress of decay, and rendrring 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
are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent, than Scurvy ; .and it is well 'mown 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 htive to inform
them, that they can effectually remove this destructive com-
plaint by a single application, with the slightest pain.

EMIGRATION FROM THE UNITED STATES TO

BRITISH GUIANA AND TRINIDAD.

Extracts from the report of Messrs. Peck and Price, who
were appointed at a meeting of the free coloured people of
Baltimore, held on the 25th November, 1839, for the pur-
pose of appointing delegates to visit British Guiana and
Trinidad, &c. to ascertain the advantages to be derived by
coloured people emigrating to those places.
Baltimore, 1840.
The persons named as delegates, N. P. and T. S. P., are
two of the most industrious, intelligent, and respectable of
our coloured population.
N. Brice, chief judge Baltimore city court.
W. D. S. Worthington appointed chief judge Balt. do. do.
N. S. •Keath, district judge United States court.
S. C. Leakin, mayor of the city of Baltimore.

Agriculturists are in great demand. Every plantation we
were upon, which were many, wanted from 40 to 50 hands
to carry on cultivation. .Field labour is similar to the work
in corn-fields, and is done by task, of so many feet or yards.
The price for each task is 331. cents, which upon most estates
can be done in four or five hours. We saw a young woman
at an estate called Success, on the island of Leguan, finish
her second task by 12 o'clock, and did not appear at all
fatigued. In answer to a question put to her by us she said,
she could do three tasks any day, and if she felt inclined after
dinner, could do another task. We left her to visit several
other estates, and returned about half-past five o'clock in the
afternoon, and learned from her own lips that she had done
her third task about half an hour; besides, each family has
a very comfortable cottage to be in, containing generally two
rooms on the first floor, and one above, with as much ground
attached as they can cultivate in vegetables ; and the doctor's
bill for attending all the estates, paid by the proprietor. On
many estates are very fine schools, and would be many more
could persons be found competent to the undertaking. There
are at present a great many churches in any direction, and
would be many more, should it Le reqUired, as every profes-
sion is tolerated and encouraged.
In Guiana my estate has the aspect of a manufacturing
village : all the works are propelled by steam-engines, and
the mill fed by the same power. The workman's labour is
lightened by it in many ways. In Trinidad the manual
labour is greater. The labourers' cottages in general are
much more spacious and comfortable in British Guiana than
thoSe now in use in Trinidad.
As there appears a desire among many persons to know
whether we intend to settle in either of these places, and
which of the two are preferred; we thought it advisable to
get through with the report to the public meeting, before we
declare our intentions. We now declare our preference for
Guiana.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, June 17.—Our market con-
tinues extremely animated, every thing being eagerly taken off
the market as soon as offered, at gradually improving prices.
THE ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY CARRIAGES.—It iS up-
wards of a year and a-half since we described the experi-
ments made by Mr. Clegg, in the Borough, on the mode of
propelling carriages by means of exhausting a pipe or tube
with which the carriages were connected, and then admitting
the atmospheric air, and, as it were, forcing the carriages or
train along, and thus superseding the necessity of gas or any
other power for the conveyance of a train along a rail or
tram-road. These experiments were very successful ; indeed
so successful, that few persons had any doubt about the ulti-
mate success of the principle of the invention. On Thursday
the experiments were exhibited on a large scale, on a railroad
which connects, or is intended to connect, the line of the
Birmingham, the Bristol, and the Thames Junction lines,
commencing within a short distance of Shepherd's-bush, and
running in a westerly direction for about three quarters of a
mile. The carriage put in motion, with the persons on it, did
not weigh much less than 12 tons, but it travelled with great
ease at the rate of 25 miles an hour. The exhausted pipe or
tube laid down, whichiwas not the propelling agent, but the
means of its developement, was about nine inches in diameter.
The engine by which it was exhausted—namely, a pump,
worked by steam—rendered it fit for the operations required
in about two minutes and a half, and front the index, that is
quicksilver employed at the termini, it was ascertained that
the operation was performed simultaneously, at both ends of
the line. There was no noise, no smoke, and, what is better,
no danger of explosion, or of a power which could not be
governed. In short, the experiment was as successful as its
most warm well-wishers could expect. and showed that the
agency of steam is not a sine qua" non on a railroad. Without
going into a minute history of railroads, it may be as well to
say, that this power may be applied to any railroad at a saving
of 70 per cent., and that it is of sufficient force to preclude
the necessity of tunnelling. It is applicable to almost any
gradients. The experiments were attended by a great num-
ber of the nobility, and by many scientific men. The Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, Lords Charleville, Radstock, and
Prudhoe, the Marquis of Doure, Lord Howick, and Lord
Stuart de Rothesay, &c., were on the ground, and expressed
their satisfaction at the result of the experiments.—Times.

PisroLs.---It has been ascertained that the pistols
used by the prisoner were purchased at the shop of Mr.
Hayes, in Farringdon -street, by a young man about a fortnight
since, for which he paid £2. This discovery is msidered by
the police very important, as if it should turn out that the
pistols were purchased by some other person, and not the
prisoner, then it proves that more than one person was aware
of the atrocious act, and on the other hand if it was the pri-
soner who made the purchase, an inquiry then suggests itself
(he being out of employ,) from what fund he obtained the
money.
Mr. Hayes and his assistant are to accompany Inspector
Pearce to Newgate this afternoon, for the purpose of seeing
the prisoner : the assistant says he has no doubt whatever of
being able to identify the young man who bought the pistols
it' he can see him, as on that occasion he was very particular
about the make and quality of them. After examining theca
some time he asked how far they would carry a ball, and was
told 20 or 30 yards. He then said that would do, and agreed
to buy them. He also on the same occasion bought a pow-
der flask, for which he paid 2s, but we do not know that this
has been found. The person who bought the pistols did not
ask or say anything about bullets. Mr. Hayes and his assis-
tant expect to be summoned to give evidence before the
Privy Council to-morrow.

(From the Morning Herald
_of Tuesday.)

The greatest possible interest continues to ascertain every
particular relating to the murderous attempt upon her Ma-
jesty and Prince Albert. The search for the bullets is still
going on, but nothing has been discovered. The police con-
tinue their exertions with unremitting
energy, and it is said
some important evidence will be laid before the Privy Council
at the next examination of Oxford, which, we understand, is
appointed for 11 o'clock to-day, at the Home-office. In-
structions are given to the police and witnesses not to state
publicly anything whica may come to their knowledge, as it
is considered necessary for the purposes of justice that the
greatest possible secrecy should he maintained.
It has been ascertained where the pistols used by the pri-
soner were purchased. The accounts in the papers yesterday
on this point were incorrect. The following are the facts :
The pistols now in the hands of the police, and which were
taken from the prisoner on his apprehension, were purchased
at the shop of Mr. Hayes, in Farringdon-street, by a young
man, about a fortnight since, for which he paid £2. About
a month since Mr. Hayes received two brace of pistols from
Birmingham. One brace were not inclosed in bags. These
he (Mr. Hayes) sent to a shop which he has in Blackfriars-
road, from Which they were subsequently stolen, and have
never since been heard of. The otto+• brace were sold at the
shop in Farringdon-street, by his-Aistant, to a young man, --
about a foctaighc since, fur TherISNPRo doubt at to the
a identity the /+ito-u;-bi qinee-the `nrivnt nark of A"
Hayes, which he made himself with a carver. e These pistols
also were in bags at the time they were sold, and two bags
have been found at the prisOneeilodgings, which Mr. Hayes
can positively swear are the same. The pistols stolen from
the shop in Blackfriars-road were not in bags.
It is Intended on the trial to confine the examination to as
feW witnesses as possible, merely proving the facts of the
case, without any unnecessary delays in attaining the ends of
justice.

(LATEST PARTICULARS.)
We are now enabled to lay before our readers further and
more accurate details relative to the recent attempt of Oxford.
The Hon. Mr. Fox Maule, one of the under-secretaries
of state, called at Newgate on Saturday, and saw the pri-
soner; but be failed to elicit anything of importance from
him. Mr. Alderman Harmer next put sonic questions to
Oxford, but with no better success.
In the course of the same day Sir Peter Laurie and Sir
George Carroll, the visiting aldermen for the present month,
in the presence of Mr. Cope, the governor of the prison, held
some conversation with Oxford, which may hereafter be found
to be of some importance.
Sir Peter Laurie inquired of the prisoner if he placed a
ball in each of the pistols, and upon mention being made of
loadiir, them with ball, the prisoner laughed derisively, and
denied that any ball was in them. The aldermen reminded
the prisoner that Mr. Fox Manic had a bullet in his posses-
sion, upon which Oxford burst into a hearty laugh. Sir
Peter states that the prisoner has positively refused to be
provided with professional assistance, and appears to tri-
umph in the notoriety he has gained. Oxford carefully
avoids answering any questions that are put to him relative
to his having bad any associates in the crime, and the only
time when he has let fall a single observation on the subject,
was upon the occasion of his first interview with his mother,
when he exclaimed, " There are others in it."
On Saturday at noon, his mother had a second intg's iew
with the prisoner, but nothing material transpired. &fore
quitting the prison she informed the visiting alderman that
she married Oxford's father in consequence of his having
threatened to murder her and cut his own throat, if she did
not do so. She added, that she preferred adopting any course
rather than be sacrificed, but complained of his ill-treatment
after marriage, and of his having fractured the back part of
her skull. She offered to show Sir Peter the scar that was
visible upon her head where the injury was inflicted ; hut he
declined to see it, being of opinion (to use his own words)
that the mother is decidedly mad, and that the injury to her
head is a mere delusion. The worthy alderman likewise ex-
presses his unqualified belief that Oxford's mind is diseased,
and that he discharged the pistols (being loaded only with
gunpowder) in order to obtain an unenviable distinction from
other boys.
The prisoner, the reporter heard from authority, is at times
exceedingly fidgetty, and appeared desirous to make some
disclosure, but in a few minutes he again resumes his levity
and indifference. One of the civic authorities expresses his
confidence that before any length of time has elapsed Oxford
will unburthen his mind to him.

In the course of yesterday the police commissioners had
several interviews with Lord Normanby and the Under
Secretary of State at the home office, and there is little doubt,
from the circumstances subjoined, that the prisoner will be
brought up for re-examination to-day before the Privy Coun-
cil, which has been summoned to assemble at two o'clock at
tLe home-office.

The police have succeeded in tracing the prisoner from his
house in West-place, which he left at three o'clock on the
afternoon of the day he attempted the assassination, to a
coffee-shop be was in the habit of using in the Westminster-
road, and which is kept by a person named Lovett. It ap-
pears Oxford had some refreshment, which he did not pay
for, and remained in Lovett's until above half-past three
o'clock, and shortly before four o'clock he was observed
walking in the park. When he left Lovett's it is stated he
was alone.
The statement of the girl Sarah Brown that she saw the
prisoner load the pistols previous to the approach of the
royal carriage, turns out, upon investigation, to be untrue,
the prisoner having been observed to load them before he
left home.

Althogh the prisoner now denies having put balls into the
pistols, the reporter was informed he admitted having done
so at the station-house before the Privy Council.
