VERY LATE FBOM CHINA.

RIOTS, AND EXCITEMENT AGAINST BoREIeN-
ERs.-By the ship Rainbow, arrived at New
York on Thursday morning, advices from
Canton have been received to the 26th of Jan
uary The Rainbow made an extraordinary
passage, being only 70 days.
There was great excitement among the pop
ulace OF Canton on account of the contempla-
ted fulhIment Of the treaty with the British 60
vernment admitting foreigners into the city.
Threats of resisting by force any attempt to
pass the city gates had been posted up all
round the foreign factories and streets in the
neighborhood.
The British authorities, however, having
ceased to insist upon the immediate ful6lment
of this part of the treaty, the excitement
among the people had subsided. The local
government had, too, been compelled to with
draw the proclamation giving the permission
to enter the city. Ii was said though that the
British commander would eventually demand
being admitted by the Chinese officials.
There was a riot in Canton on the 18th of
January IN consequence of the cruel treatment

officer, whose passage in the streets had been
accidentally obstrucled by the man. The Off
GERS house was demolished
The Maudarins were to have commenced
paying the indemnify money to the British on
the l7th, but deferred it, not daring to expose
the Sycee to the mob in their excited state.
It.was considered necessary to send some Of
the ladies to Whampoa, and the gentlemen
were well armed to repel any attack that might
be made. Placards were posted on all sides
threatening violence to foreigners who might
attempt to enter the city.
The U. S. ships Columbus and Vincennes
were ordered up from the Bogue and anchor
ed as near Canton as possible. The British
ships Dadalus and Hazard also were sent up

DENTAL SURGERY.
DODGE a. PARMELE,

MENTAL SURGEONS, Of Bond-street, New
~ York, having practised the three past winters
in this city, respectfully announce to their friends
and the public that they have concluded to keep
their Washington office open during the entire year
IN future at their present location on
Pennsylvania Are., bet,Geen oh & l0M Sts
where both of the partners may always be
found in attendance. They respectfully tender their
professional services to their friends and the public
and invite all who may require the advice and skill
of the experienced and practical Dentist to call on
them learn their terms, and examine their claims to
public confidence and patronage. They would par
tcuary call attention to their patent method of fast,
enlng artificial teeth when set on gold plate which
is used by them alone in the city of Washington
The most prominent advantages are the following
st. 1t saves the pain attendant upon the removal
of the roots of the front teeth when in healthy
condition. and makes those roots highly useful in
fastening the artificial teeth.
3D. 1t gives the teeth greater hrmness, rendering
them always much less troublesome and more USE
ful in the process of mastication than the common
mode.
3D. II renders it easy to remove and replace the
teeth, which, together with the peculiar simplicity
OF the fastenings, enable the wearer to keep them
always clean. uaI
The great improvement secured by this patent
needs but to be seen in order to be understood and
used to be appreciated. 1t is universally commend
ed by those who have availed themselves of its ad-
vantages.

Washington, D. c., Feb. Is, ls43
DR.. J. Smith Dodge, upon his arrival in Wash
ington to open Office Surgeon Dentist, pre-
sened to me letters from several friends in New
York of the highest respectability and standing con-
tanning the strongest and most favorable testimoni
ais both to the excellence of his private charac-
ter, and his superior professional qualifications.
These satisfactory evidences Of the man and the
Dentist induced me at once to engage the profess
sional services of Mr.. Dodge for my own family ;
and my wife and myself are now able, from person.
al experience, to add equally favorable tes-
timony in his favor a gentleman and skilful
Dentist. This testimony Is thus given by me, as
well in obedience to the earnest solicitations of re-
spectacle and worthy friends in New York, who
have for many years experienced the skill and del-
ity of the Doctor his profession to my convc-
tions of his personal and professional merit.
