IMPROVEMENT IN ARTIFICIAL TEETH.-A late
English paper says that patent has just been
taken out by Mr.. Ephraim Morsely, = dentist
OF London, for the application Of chemically
purified white India rubber in the construction
of artificial teeth, gums, and palates. A long
acknowledged desideratum, by many eminent
practical dentists fruitlessly sought for, is now
at length happily found, and, by the patentee's
process, most ingeniously adapted. The fortu-
nate wearer Of teeth constructed on this prin-
ciple is astonished to find adhesion perfect Ia
thing never yet perfectly effected, fit the
most accurately secured, and the use of those
troublesome adjuncts, spiral springs, entirely
dispensed with. This alone would be sufficient
to stamp the merit Of the patent; and further,
the superiority of the substance employed over
every other, yet discovered, is seen in the per-
fection with which it can be moulded to every
inequality of the gums and teeth, and in its
supplying an artificial periosteum, as it were,
to the teeth when they become painful by the
wasting away of the gum. Added to this is
the great comfort the patient feels in being
able to use any degree Of force in masticating
or striking the teeth together, without that per-
cussion or rattling that attends the action in
general cases, the permanent elasticity of the
agent employed obviating this and every other
disagreeable motion; and in its rendering the
teeth, in fine, part and parcel of the mouth
ITSELF it may be said thus truly to attain the ne
plus ultra Of art.

The HERO OF TnEWAR.-The London cor.
respondent of the Bottom Post says:
The great hero Of be war is undoubtedly the
Crimean correspondent Of the Times, Mr..
William Russell, an IIshman. He is certainly
the Xenophon Of battles. The true and life
like pictures thrown off by his rapid hand, in
the midst Of danger, Interruption and fatigue,
while the war Of battle and the cries Of the
vanquished and the ctors are still ringing in
his ears, are scarcely srpassed by anything that
history, ancient or mdern, has brought forth
from her silent CHAMBERS. Scarcely had the
dispatch Of the commhder-in-chie appeared in
the Gazette, when a leier, three or four columns
in length, with matte enough to gil small
volume, came out from the pen Of Mr.. Russell,
written in a tent, giving mastery view Of the
whole exploit, intermfed with such accurate
details Of the varied fortunes Of the day, as
prove that the writer iust have been in all parts
Of the field, and ALMOST personally mingled
with the combatants wherever the strife was

IMPROVEMENT IN KANSAS.

The Kansas Herald of the 18th December,
says:
" The work of Improvement is still progress.
ing in our young city. The demand for lots
is on the increase and within few DAYS seve-
raj have sold at $500 each. Several large
buildings, one of them storehouse, have
gone up within the last week, and every day
brings us citizens, who are only deferred from
building by the scarcity of material and work
men.
"Leavenworth is bound to be the CONNER
cial emporium of Kansas, and while we are
rsSoieiss at its growing prosperity we arc
pleased to see that our Sister towns are also
improving"
1t gives the following account of "high
prices of landed property.
"Mr. M. Clark, sold few days since, sixty
acres of unimproved land adjoining Leayen.
worth for one thousand dollars cash in hand
"Dr. Few, was offered two thousand dol.
lars, for sixty acres of unimproved land ad-
joining town, but refused it.
"These may seem to be high prices but
when it is taken into consideration, that Lea
venworth is bound to be great city, and the
commercial metropolis of Kansas, it is low.
These same lands will in a few years sell for
two hundred dollars an acre. These prices
serve to show too, the confidence our citizens
have in the place. Here is the place for cap
italists to settle and invest their money

eral Prospects.

The Russian defenses on the south are esti-
mated at one hundred guns stronger than when
the siege began; while, on the other hand, the
British have erected very powerful new bat
terry, not yet opened, on an eminence north Of
the valley Of Inkermann, and commanding
every house in Sebastopol, besides being an.
other step towards the complete investiture of
the place.
Since the siege began, twenty British troops
have deserted to the Russians.
Russian deserters say that provisions and
ammunition were becoming scarce in Sebastopol,
but there was no famine for either.
1t was observed that the Russians were arm
ing their ships in Sebastopol harbor, probably
TO attempt surprise by sea. Gen. Liprandi is
