LOSS OF TEETII. Messrs. HOWARD and THOMAS continue to supply the Lor. of Teeth without springs or wires upon their new system of SELF-ADHESION, which has procured them such uni- versal approbation, and is recommended by numerous Physicians and 8uri;pons as being the most ingenious system of supplying artificial teeth hitherto invented. They adapt themselves over the most tender gums, or remaining stumps without causing the least pain, rendering the painful operation of extracting quite umwcessary. They are so fixed as to fasten any loose tedh where the ,u,,Y;s have shrunk from the use of calomel or other causes. l'hey also beg to invite those not likin« to undergo :my painful operation, as nraetise I by most me??ters of the profession, to inspect their painte-s yet elective system and in order that their improvements may be within the reach of the most economical, they will con- t nue the same moderate charges.

ASTONISHING EFFICACY OF IiOLLO'V.AY'S OINTMENT. A WONDERFUL CURE OF DREADFUL ULCEROUS SORES IN THE FACE AND LEG, IN PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. The Truth of this Statement was duly attested before a Magistrate.  HUGH MACDONALD, of Lot 55, in King's I County, do hereby declare that a most wonderful preservation of my life has been effected by the use of Holloway's Pills and Ointment; and I furtfier de- clare, that I was very much afflicted with Uleerowores in my Face and Leg so severe was my complamt" that the greater part of my nose and the roof ot my mouth was eaten away, and my leg had three ulcers on it, and that I applied to several Medical gentlemen, who prescribed for me, but I found no relief. My strength was rapidly failing every day and the malady on the in- crease, when I was induced to try Holloway's Medicines. After taking two or three boxes, I experienced so much relief, and found the progress of the disease was so much arrested, that I was enabled to resume my ordinary labours in the field. The sores which were so disairree- able and repulsive to behold are now nearly all healed. Having received such truly beneficial aid, I feel myself bound to express my gratitude to the person by whose means I have thus been restored from the pitiable and miserable state I was in; and for the sake of humanity make known my case, that others similarly situated might be relieved. (signed) HUGH MACDONALD. This declaration made before me, at Bay Fortune the 3d day of September, Josr-Mii COFFIN, Justice of the Peace. The above case of Hugh Macdonald, of Lot 55, came personally under my observation and when he first ap- plied to me to get some of ths Medicines, I thought his case utterly hopeless, and told him that his maladv h::d got such hold that it was only throwing his money away to use them. He, however, persisted in trying them, and to my astonishment I find what he has aforesaid stated to be perfectly correct, and consider the case to be a most wonderful cure. (Signed) WM.

Copy of a Letter from Jir. Joseph Gildon, Jun., a Farmer, East Keal, near Spilsby, Lincolnshire, 8th April, 1846.— To Professor Holloway. Sin,—I have the gratification to announce to you a most wonderful cure wrought upon myself, by the use of your Ointment and Pills. 1 had a severe attack of Erysipelas in my right foot, which extended along my ankle, arid was attended with swelling and inflammation to an alarming de- gree, in-omuch that 1 was unable to move without the use of crutches. I consulted a very eminent Physician, besides other medical men, but to no purpose. At last 1 tried your Ointment and Pills, when, strange to say, in less than two weeks the swelling and inflammation gradually subsided to such a degree that I was enabled to pursue my daily avoca- tion, to the utter surprise and amazement of those who were acquainted with my case, seeing that I was cured so quickly I and my family are well known here, as my father holds his farm under the Rev. J. Spence, Rector of our parish. (Signed) JOSEPH GILDON. THE TESTIMONY OF DR. BRIGHT, OF ELY-PLACU, HOL- BORN, AS TO THE EXTRAORDINARY POWER OF HOLLO- WAY'S OINTMENT IN THE CURE OF ULCERATED SORES.

I am 54 years of age, and have taken every kind of medicine, and none had the desired effect but PARR'S LIFE PILLS in curing myself of the Rheumatism. And when I lay on a bed—or have sometimes sat up for nine weeks, I received no relief until I took PARR'S LIFE PILLS, which ultimately effected a cure. I will also give you my wife's statement in her own words I was taken ill of the Typhus Fevrr and was not able to move from the bed. Through my husband taking PARa's LIFE PILLS I thought I would try them, and took two pills at nine o'clock in the morning still was not able to move, but gradually afterwards I became better. I then took more, and, at three o'clock, I was enabled to walk in the garden, and in a few days I was quite restored. This is truth, and no fiction I am now forty- six yeais of age."

MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. We have again the gratification to announce the ap- proach of an event calculated to increase the domestic happiness of our Sovereign and the Prince Consort. Her Majesty's accouchement, it is confidently stated, will take place in August next.—Mottling Post. The inauguration of Prince Albert, as Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, took place at Buckingham- palace, on Thursday. A numerous deputation attended. The Rev. Dr. Philpott, Vice-Chancellor of the Univer- sity, delivered a long address to the Prince, to which his royal highness responded in a neat speech. In the evening the new Chancellor gave a grand dinner at Buckingham-palace to the members of the deputation. Mr. Cobden is (ot present in Naples, where Baron de Rothschild, the head of the house in that city, has given him a banquet, which Prince Oscar of Sweden honoured with his presence. Prince Albert has been elected chief of the Highland Society, and was present on Tuesday week at their annual festival, over which the Duke of Cambridge presided, having on his right Prince Albert, and on his left the Duke of Wellington. The banquet is described as most sumptuous, and we are informed the great body of the guests were attired in the Highland dress. We are not told, however, whether the Prince mounted the tartan, the kilt, and the philabeg. If he did, he must now have a different costume for nearly every day in the year, varying from a field marshal's uniform. I Brevet Major Grey is appointed to the command of I the pensioners enrolled for service in New Zealand. Lord Gray has been elected a representative peer for Scotland, in the room of the late Lord Rolls. Mr. Warburton, the member for Kendal, has an- nounced that he will not offer himself for re-election. He is, he says, 63 years of age, and wishes to relieve himself, at his declining time of life, from the turmoil of politics. The treasurer of the fund for promoting the employ- ment of additional curates in populous places, has re- ceived £ 500 from an anonymous donor. News has been received'that M. D'Osery, the French traveller, has been murdered in Lima by four scoundrels whom he had hired as guides and boatmen through the pass of Juramaro. Plunder seems to have been the object of the murderers. An extraordinary and melancholy case of fratricide was recently committed in a chapel near Namur. Whilst two young ladies, sisters, were kneeling at their de- votions, their brother, the Count de Liederkeke, en- tered the chapel, and shot them both dead. He then escaped, and has not been heard of. It is joupposed he was insane. The rent" of the irish Repeal Association shows very little symptom of improvement. The Amount last week was E21 19s. Id. The Pope has resolved to institute an order of chi- valry. The order is to be the reward of merit and good actions without regard to the faith and the country of the individual. We learn from the Nottingham Review, that com- plaints have been made by persons who had their pockets picked, in court, during the assizes. j The increase in the price of Scotch whiskey, says the Daily News, has led to-or more correctly, has ag- gravated-its adulteration. In Glasgow the Excise has | seized between 3,000 and 4,000 gallons, as being below standard; but more deleterious mixtures than mere dilution are suspected. The Emperor of Russia has just issued an ukase de- claring that Jews in the army shall be allowed to be promoted to the rank of lieutenant. The bakers of Bath have resolved to make no hot- cross-buns on Good Friday, by which they calculate on saving thirty sacks of flour. The South Sea Company are negotiating with the J promoters of the proposed British Whale Fishery Asso- j ciation for the South Seas, and it is expected that the former company will advance the necessary funds, from £ 250,000 to E300,000 to set the fishery afloat. A workman at Lowestoff having had his hand smashed while pile-driving, it was necessary to amputate the member to facilitate this, the vapour of ether was ap- plied; but, instead of a sedative effect on the patient, it produced the most violent excitement. The operation was ultimately performed with the patient in a state of consciousness. In the last sitting of the French Academy of Science, it was reported that an Italian surgeoa has succeeded in substituting galvanic agency for the painful and dan- gerous operation of lithotomy. His process decomposes the calculus, and removes it with little pain or inconve- nience to the patient. The New York Suit (February 24th) says, one house in this city has orders for fifteen hundred tons of provi- sions, such as beef, bacon, pork, &e for Ireland. Experiments have been tried with gun-cotton, (found to be far more powerful than gunpowder) in blasting rocks at Standedge Tunnel, Yorkshire. One explosion broke 224 cubic feet of ruck, about 16i tons weight, iato six pieces. a m r. Bainec is about to underrake a crnsade in Scotland against the government education scheme. It is to be hoped that his proceedings will elicit a counter-demon- stration from the really educated and liberal portion of Scotch society. One of the Edinburgh town councillors has given notice "j his iniention to move, in the council, a series of resolu'ions condemnatory of the Government scheme of educatiou. Tuere is no cnance of their being carried; and their rejection may encourage the friends of education in c:hfr Quarters to s peak o?t.—.4?<M. i n At a meeiing .it Coventry, last week, the foHowing resolution was agreed to :—" That this meeting desires to express its opinion tli",t th" government of a country is responsible for the due education of the people. That the scheme for the improvement of the existing systems of education issued by the committee of her Majesty's council meets the views of this meeting, inasmuch as it is calculated greatly to extend the operation of our present schools, and places all parties on terms of equa- lity as to the advantages which it offers without reference to religious differences." A parliamentary return shows that, in 1846 the non- commissioned officers appointed to commissions, were 14 cornets, 182 ensigns, 20 adjutants, with the rank of cornet, 29 adjutants with the rank of ensign, and 131 quarter-masters—total 376. The Morning Post is in raptures because an Inde- pendent chapel which is to be built in Manchester, at a cost of E21,000, is not to be a cheap brick preach- ing house," but ecclesiastically orthodox in its archi- tecture. Mr. O'Connell arrived on Monday at Boulogne, from Folkestone, on his way to Italy, for the benefit of his health, accompanied by his eldest son. His other sons accompanied him as far as Folkestone, but returned to London to attend to their duties in Parliament. Mr. O'Connell was to leave Boulogne yesterday for Paris.— Galiqnani's Messenger. It has been stated that when one of her ministers intimated to the young Queen of Spain that the Conde de Montemolin might soon be found a competitor, she replied, that her cousin was welcome to take a throne stuffed with thorns, and shared by an idiot. The comet discovered on the 6th of February is now visible to the naked eye in the constellation Andromeda, as a star of the fourth magnitude. The perihelion pas- sage will take place shout six p.m., March 30, and it is Rnticipaterl that it will be visible in broad day-light. At the beginning of April its tail will probably be seen in the western heavens soon after sunset. At the late Exeter Sessions, one Lee was tried for stealing a razor. After the recorder summed up, the prisoner begged to supply an inadvertent omission on the part of the judge. 11 Gentlemen of the jury,said Lee, if you have any doubts, you are to give me the benefit of them." He was acquitted. The Commissariat have entered into contracts to supply the army in Ireland with meat for sin months, from 1st April next, at 6d. per lb., a very high price, and nearly 3d. over the former contract.—Limerick ('hronicle. It is reported that Hughendon-house and estate, in Bucks, late the property of John Norris, Esq., has been purchased for £ 36,000, by B. Disraeli, Esquire, M.P.— Maidstone Gazette.{;J The late member for Cirencester, Joseph Cripps, Esq., banker, Gloucester, has bequeathed to his 12 children specific pecuniary legacies to the amount of upwards' of ESO,000, and the residue amongst five of them He directed that his freeholds should be sold and added to his personalty, which was valued at £ 40,000. His eldest son takes neaily a fourth of the property. During a recent trial at York, the examining counsel asked a tailor whether he had been active in gettiug up a case, with a view to she/IV that he was not an interested witness. You had better ask him," said Mr. Baron Alderson, whether he did not cut out the suit." A very mysterious paragraph appears in an Edinburgh paper in allusion to the recent death of a young military officer, which is said to have been accelerated, if not caused, by a series of heartless persecutions, the nature which are not disclosed. The matter is said to be at present under the consideration of the authorities at the Horse Guards. The Edinburgh Advertiser, which is the principal organ of the Established Church in Scotland, declares itself, in its number of the 19th, as being in favour of the Government scheme of education. The Witness and Scottish Guardian, the organs of the Free Church, are hanging in the wind but there is little fear of their coming fairly round in due time. The voluntary dissenters have been passive for some weeks. A return of the amount of window duty assessed for the year 1845 for the 12 'owns paying the largest amount, with the not amount of duty received for the same on the 5lh of April, 1846, shows that Bath yielded a net duty of £ 21,270; Biriiiinghaiii, E14,586 Brighthelm- stone, E16,295 Bristol, E14,280 Cheltenham, E7,058 Clifton, L8,453 Leeds, 1:7,789 Liverpool, C29,018 Manchester, £ 19,776 Norwich, £ 6,128 Ncwcastlc-on- T'ynr, £ 5,829: Plymouth, £ lk,3"0. It was expected that Lord John Russell would be I installed as Lord Rector of Glasgow during the Easter recess, but official business will keep him in London, and the installation, it is now understood, will be postponed until the conclusion of the parliamentary session. Lord James Browne, son of the late Marquis of Sligo, and brother and heir presumptive to the present Earl, died recently at Suez, on his journey home from India to I England. The deceased was 24 years of age, and was aide-de-camp to Lord Gough. The Gazette of Friday contains the appointment of Viscount Torrington to the government of Ceylon. Easter Monday will be a great day in Birkenhead. The Commissioners' Dock, the Birkenhead Dock Com- pany's Warehouse, the Chester and Birkenhead Exten- sion line of railway to the dock, and the Birkenhead Park, will be opened on that day, and the occasion will be observed as a gala. The Baptist ministers of Maine, U.S., have published a solemn declaration against slavery. A return obtained by Mr. Hawes shows that the total quantity of timber delivered for all Her Majesty's dock- yards under contract of the 19th of December, 1843, to 1845, &c., was as follows, viz., 2,820 loads of rough timber, 10,594 loads of bided timber, 3,730 loads of thick stuff, 2,279 of plank, and 399,599 treenails. The total amount paid was £ 205,250. Cassius M. Clay, of the True American, an abolition paper, prosecuted a number of citizens for taking pos- session of his printing office by violence, and transporting tke printing materials, but they justified themselves by alleging that the paper, was a nuisance. After a full argument the jury, without hesitation, gave a verdict of Not guilty." y We hear that the result of the recent inquiry ordered 10 Government into the affair of the Lieutenant-Go- vernor at Guernsey, and Mr. Wools, the storekeeper at Alderney, is, that the latter be reprimanded and removed to some other station. It may be inferred from this decision that Major-General Napier has failed in making out his case against Mr. Wools, as, had he proved his charge, Mr. Wools would inevitably have been dismissed. —Guernsey Star. The Queen of the French forwarded some splendid articles for the grand bazaar at Cheltenham, opened on the 25th ult., in aid of the Irish. A Bank of England note for f-25, dated 1736, was I paid into that establishment a few days ago. Supposing that the amount had been invested at interest for the same period, namely, III years, the security would have been worth, at compound interest, upwards of £ 6,000. In the house of a pauper at Manchester, who had been in the receipt of 4s. a week from the parish, a savings' bank cheque of F.45 was found; also a good show of provisions, and a stock of brandy and whiskey Several specimens of Chinese painting upon glass, of which the colouring, especially that of the faces, is rich and delicate, have lately arrived at Glasgow. So powerful is the effect of æther, that under its effects the spinal marrow, the very cord of life, can be torn away without pain. JEther rubbed on any nerve bared, it is said, will destroy sensation. The Pope has made a present to the Shekib Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador to Austria, of a magnificent cameo, set with brilliants, and on which is the portrait of his holiness. Shekib Effendi, in accepting it, ex- pressed his intention to wear it on his breast, and the likeness of the Pope will thus be displayed on the breast of a Turk. The Sultan has promised to build a Protestant chapel for the English workmen employed in some iron works near Constantinople. A fatal accident occurred on Wednesday week at Stratford-on-Avon. John Buller, son of a farmer of that town, was on his father's farm with a gun he had fired one barrel off, and was re-loading it, when the other barrel exploded, and the contents lodged in the young man's head, and killed him on the spot. At Enfield Petty Sessions, on Thursday week, G. Duncombe, formerly a chemist, at Poplar, but who has latterly been occupying a cottage and barn in Enfield Chase, was convicted for having an illicit distillery on his premises, in which were six large stills. The total penalties imposed were £ 1,400. A new Prison for Surrey, estimated to cost E110,000 has been ordered to be built, the site to be either Gar- ratt-lane or Wandsworth Common. Brixton House of Correction, built to contain 200 inmates, now holds more than 500. Distress amongst the poorer classes, caused by the high price of provisions, is the cause to which this increase of crime is attributed. A horrible attempt at murder, followed by an attempt at suicide, was made about midnight on Monday in Bri- tannia-street, City-road, London. A man named George Walker, a toll-collector, had been drinkiug with an old man named Zathariftii Longman, aged 70, and becoming outrageously excited by the liquor, began to scream fire," and seizing hold of his companion he cut him across the face several times with a razor, inflicting a number of frightful wounds. He then cut his own throat w'th the same weapon. Both are lying in a bad state, but it is thought they will survive.

WRESLEYA.N CONFERENCE FOR 1847-—The Wes- levan Methodist conference will be held in Liverpool, tli,i year, in June or July. The meetings will take place, as on former occasions of a similar kind, at the Brunswick Chapel, Moss-street, and will be attended by esleyan ministers from all parts of the kingdom. BINI)ING OF SATAN.-Dtiring the past two or three weeks, a number of persons avowing themselves to be followers of Joanna Southcote, have been going round the streets on the Surrey side of the Thames. They wear I belts like those of the fire brigade, on which passages from the Scriptures are painted; carry with them an ink-horn and long sheets of paper, and solicit signatures to what thev pretend to be a petition to Heaven, for the binding of Satan, the Prince of darkness. Men, wo- men, and children are stopped indiscriminately and re- quested to sign, either with their own hands or by proxy. The bearers of the petition assert with perfect gravity that when a sufficient number of names shall have been subscribed, the petition will be presented to the throne of mercy by Joanna herself. WHO IS LOLA MONTFS ?-The donna is of a very good Spanish family, but was born in Ireland. Her friends returning to Spain, young Lola accompanied them, and in due course, at an early age, married an officer in the Spanish service, and mixed in very good society. This marriage did not turn out a very happy one, and Donna Lola eloped with an Irishman she was afterwards abandoned by her lover in Dublin. One of her many admirers pi-ocure d her some lessons in stage dancing, and had influence enough to get her an en- gagement at the opera. She appeared as Lola Montes, the whole matter having been kept as srcret as possible. but the men of the Omnibus box, and the habitues of the stalls, recognised in the new "Spanish dancer," their old friend" Betsy Watson,"and the whole affair was voted a take in." Lola then proceeded to Paris, where she failed from Paris she went to Berlin, and from Berlin to Munich, where, it seems, she has completely enslaved the King. It is difficult to say which runs to the greatest excess, his majesty's infatuation or the lady's insolence. Lola had, before the bull-dog" story, managed to make herself tolerably notorious by refusing to rise when the royal family entered the thea- tre, according to the custom at Munich, and persisted in retaining her seat In her box even when the propriety of rising was suggested to her. The King of Bavaria must be a very sad fellow indeed, even when tried by the very lax standard of German court morality. The most beautiful room in his palace is that which is de- voted to the portraits of his mistresses. The apartment is hung with crimson-coloured velvet, and the portraits of some dozen beautiful women, all in deep gold oval frames, decorate it. The effect is beautiful in the ex- treme. The ministers and attaches of the German courts here (London) are qu'zzed unceasingly by the quondam friends of Betsy Watson," for the doting fondness of the Bavarian king.—Cheltenham Looker-on. PLAIN SPEAKING.—Mrs. Elizabeth Peters, of Boone county, Indiana, thus notices her absconding husband —Left my bed and board last fall, thereby rendering my expense lighter, my legal husband, John Peters, without cause or provocation. All the old maids, and young giils and widows, of all -ages and conditions, are hereby forewarned against harbouring or trusting him on any account, as I am determined not to be held accountable for his debts, or more especially for his conduct, because he is a loafer, a drunkard, a gambler, a liar, and a thief."—Neic York Sun. DISAPPOINTED OF THE HANGMAN.—Thousands of persons assembled at Racine, Wisconsin, to see a man named Bonham, hanged for murder The Sheriff in- formed the people that Governor Dodge had reprieved the prisoner for thirty days, whereupon they hung the effigy of the Governor and then separated peaceably.— New York Sun. Good health is one of the greatest blessings in hu- man life without it, success in any undertaking must be of doubtful issue, and at best cannot be secured with pleasure. To those of sedentary habits, and whose em- ployment is necessarily more of a mental than of a physical nature, good health although seldom possessed by them is nevertheless an almost indisppnsable requisite. Some constitutions and dispositions require an active use of the muscles of the body deny them this, and nature resents the offence by sinking into melancholy and re- pining—mental vigour and elasticity droops and decays —hope dies, and frequently a premature and rash death is chosen rather than life. Students, Teachers, Clergy- men. and others, whose care and most anxious thought is constantly being called forth, can hope for but little pleasure in their bi<h and important undertakings, un- less seconded by a proper buoyancy of spirit and vigour of mind. To secure this, then, becomes the first consi deration of every individual; and the fine balsamic pre- paration, P.UtR'S LIFE PILLS, of all medicines, is without dispute the best calculated to produced a fine flow of j animal spirits, a clear head, ¡wd a ready perception." OUR PROSPECTS AS TO THE SUPPLY OF CoRN,- Thegrain crops of the last harvest, and the stocks previously in hand, have now supplied the consumption ofabout half the current year. Prices are unusually high in every country in Europe, and generally higher than in this country. Of wheat we shall pro- bably receive little more either from the Baltic or the Mediterranean and it is tolerably certain that we shall have to continue for some months to supply a part of the French consumption of this grain. But, on the other hand, the extension of high prices to the lower description of grain has produced the unusual pressure upon the consumption of a large portion of Europe not usually affected by an English demand. Even the Russian serf has been stinted of his rye, and large quantities of that grain are moving towards thfr Baltic ports for the first spring shipments to England. A great part of the pressure here, result ing from the additional demand for the poor of Ireland and Scotland, and the emergency having already introduced consider- able changes in the ordinary food of the people, it is probable that all grain introduced which is fit for human food will, should prices continue near their present level be brought more or less into consumption, and have a general effect upon prices. We may, therefore, con- clude that, on the whole, our supplies from European sources will, as the season advances, be rather increased than diminished. It is impossible to doubt that large quantities of lfour and grain are to be obtained from the United States while present prices are sustained in England. But we are not inclined to believe that our supplies from that quarter Will be su large as some of our contemporaries anticipate. The chief obstacle to the American supply, in the present state of things, is the scarcity and consequent high price of the iiieali- of conveyance. Wheat, flour, and pork are no" doubled in price by the expense of conveying them from the place of production in the vallev of the Mississippi only to the quays of New York; and thence to the ports of the United Kingdom the-eost of conveyance is from 100 to 150 per cent. above what it «ns at this time last year. The profits of all who are concerned in providing and working ships between Knropi- and America, are, consequently, much increased. And as new ships cannot be provided to meet the demand, the increased cost of carriage is shared with every trade from which ships can be withdrawn to aid the provision trade: the effect of which must be ultimately felt by the consumer in some increase of the price of all the prin- cipal articles of import, particularly those of a bulky description. But with the prices now prevailing in America, and the stimulus now given to the carrying trade by doubled freights, we shall probable receive, in the course of the next six months, bread-stuffs suffi- cient to prevent any rise, if not to produce a material fall of prices, before the coming harvest. -Globe. THE RESOURCES OF ENGLAND.—What is now passing in England proves that there are no eventuali- ties which can peril the repose of a nation when that nation obeys a wise and vigorous government. The British nation is smitten by one of those calamities of which there have been no examples since the famines of the middle ages. England has the whole of Ireland upon her shoulders—5,000,000 or 6,000,000 persons to feed. Work must be found, 600,000 labourers employed at once, prousions procured, bread and money distri- buted, and present necessities provided for without neglecting the care of the future. The most moderate calculations estimate the sacrifices of the treasury at 250,000,000 francs until the next harvest. Suppose that France, which appears to have been comparatively spared, should find herself at this moment in a similar situation, how would our finances resist the pressure of the various charges, which already exceed the revenue ? We bleed ourselves at every vein to distribute a few millions by way of indemnity to the inundated victims of the Loire, and to pay the labour of the needy part of the population. What would it be, then, if indiwdual misfortunes, instead of being counted by thousands, accumulated by millions ? What enables England to meet unforeseen necessities is the provident economy which she has introduced for some years into tb. management of her finances.—Siecle.

JURORS IN THE NEW COUNTY COURTS.—By the New County Courts Act, the laiv as to the attendance of jurors in actions not exceeding C20 is altered. In cases where the amount exceeds 95 a plaintiff or a defendant may require a jury, but in actions under that amount the judge of the court has a discretionary power. The jury in the New County Courts is to consist of five persons, and they must give an unanimous verdict. It has been customary in every case to swear the jurr, but by a provision in the new law they are not requiied to be sworn in each trial. The expense on the part of a plaintiff or defendasU requiring a jury will be 5s. which sum mlls t,be deposited with the clerk of the court, and be considered as costs in the cause, unless otherwise ordered by the judge.

A RAILWAY DODGE.—A clever swindler has just been making a market of a number of young men at Worcester. He professed to be extensively engaged at a railway surveyor, and to be desirous of increasing his staff, to effect which he offered, for a premium of six guineas each, to instruct pupils in the art and mystery I of" stirveying, levelling, and computing quantities, and then to employ them on his staff at the handsome salary of two guineas and a half per week for four months certain, with a handsome allowance for per. sonal and travelling expenses superadded. The rascal pocketed the premium of six ziiine-is tsacli froi-n eight victims and then absconded with the money, besides leaving a multitude of bills unliquidated. AN UNTOWARD DREAM.—A respectable auctioneer of ChestPrfield was troubled last week with a dream that led him to inflict on himself a serious injury while under its influence. He dreamt that he was much troubled with a nut-shell that had become jammed between his teeth, and so strong was that impression, that be tuggrd violently at the supposed shell to relieve himself from it awakening with his efforts he found, to his great consternation, that he had pulled out a sound double tooth, which had been the night before a firm-set and serviceable grinder, but which he then held between his finger and tliunib.-De;-bysloire Cott)-iei-. MURDER AUTHORISED !—Richard, a slave of Robert Rowan, who whipped another slave, Maria, to death, in Charleston, U. S., has been tried and acquitted, because he did it by the direction of his mislresli.- Boston Liberator.
