New SURGICAL OPERATloN.-There is
in the middle of each tooth, as every
anatomist knows: little cavity, in
which the fine branches of nerves, pass
ing through the roots Of the teeth, are
expanded. This expansion of nervous
matter is The seat Ct sensation 10 teeth :;
and when, by carries or decay of the en-
amel, it is exposed 10 the influence of
external agencies, the patient is gener-
ally obliged, on account of the violence
OF the pain, 10 have the whole tooth
pulled OUT. An ingenious surgeon from
America, lately settled in London, has
satisfactorily shown that the diseased
part OF the tooth, including The cavity
above described, may be cut off with
the greatest ease and CELEBRITY, and that
the souhG root or roofs may be allowed
10 refrain in their sockets. This mode
RI procedure has been shown and ex-
planned TO the most scientific surgeons Of
this town, who have without exception
expressed their conviction Of its utility.
The operation has been performed Oh
more than 200 members of the profess
sion, and they have invariably declared
that 1t occasioned 90 pam, ana InaI IL
could scarcely be fell as their own
certificates show The instruments US
ed for this purpose are very simple
they are few plain fciceps, right an
gled and straight, with cutting edges,
like the common surgical bone fcrceps,
but those edges are made accurately to
fit the necks Of the teeth, and only the
necks; so that, however decayed a
tooth may be, the forceps may be safely
and easily applied without any risk Of
breaking the tooth. Having been thus
carefully applied on the neck Of tooth,
the edges Of the forceps should be held
parallel to The edges of the gum. and
should be made TO press down little, in
order 10 get TO the neck about line be-
low the usual height Of the gum; the
handles of the forceps then pressed
gradually but firmly together, and in
moment the upper part Of the tooth
snaps off, including the cavity containing
the expansion of the nerve, and thus 10
an instant permanently relieves all pain
The advantages Of this operation are
LIST. 1t ls painless, ADD instantane ously
performed. Cd. The surface of the
sound stump remaining in the jaw pre-
sents firm base for mastication, or for
the .s;;S;,,iay OF an artificial tooth. Sd.
What is of greater moment, The stumps
left in the jaw afford firm support 10
the adjoining teeth, and without which
support the alveolaF process, correspond
ing on the part before occupied by the
diseased tooth, and part of the inter-
stice structure of The jaw, become alb
sorbed; the adjoining teeth iD a few
years become loose, and ultimately
Prematurely fall out, as daily experience
shows. Mr.. Fay has, for his improve
ment in his branch Of surgery, and for
other forceps for the perpendicular ex-
traction of tae teeth when extraction
may be absolutely required, the large
silver medal from the society of arts
and the Instruments, with engravings,
will be published 10 the next volume of
the Transactions Of the Society.

From the accounts received this
morning, it would appear lkat war was
inevitable between Russia and Turkey.
The conferences at Alderman have
taken an unfayorabIe turn. The Rus
sian Commissioners, almost wearied
with the answer of the Turkish Com
missioners, have sent them nole, in
which all the demands made by Russia
for some years past are completely en-
bodied, and if a satisfactory answer TO
The demands be not received by the 7th
October, it is believed Russian army
