It arrests all further progress of decay, and renders them again useful in mastication. All persons can use the Succeditneum themselves with ease, as full directions are enclosed.

LOSS OF TEETH A very CUIIOUS invention connected with Dental Surgery has be»n introduced by Mr. Howard ,t « ,he imrodoclion of an Entirely New Description of Artificial Teeth. fi,ed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They. so perfecll, resemble natural teeth, as not to be distinguished trom the originais by the most intimate friend. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve the teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. The invention deserves the notice of the scientific, and is ofim- portance to many persons, and those who are interested in iti cannot do better than avail themselves of Mr. Howard's skill as a Dentist. And in order that his improvements may be within the reach of the most economical, he will continue the sarne moderate charges. MR. HOWARD, SURG EON-DENTIST, 17, GEORGE- STREET, HANOVER SQUARE, LONDON. At hnme from ten till five.

Dr. Locock, Physician Accoucheur to Her Majesty. Sir H. C. Brodie, Bart., Sergeant Surgeon to Her Majesty. Sir David Davies, Physician to her late Majesty the Queen Dowager. Dr. Merriman, Physician to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. And numerous other members of the medical profession. Those interested in the subject will find this statement of their superiority over all others, to be entirely and scrupulously correct. OPENING OF NEWPORT HOUSE. ENTIRE NEW STOCK. JOHN PRICE AND COMPANY respectfully inform the nobility, clergy, gentry, and inhabitants generally of New- port, Pillgwenlly, and surrounding neighbourhood, that they have taken the above spacious premises, lately occupied by Messrs. Zouch and Evans, which they purpose OPENING ON OR ABOUT THE 25TH INST. With an entire new and well-selected stock of Linen and Woollen Drapery, silks, shawls, mantles, delaines, Cachmeres, prints, muslins, Cobourg cloths, ribbons. lace, hosiery, parasols, hats, straw bonnets, mourning goods, &c., &c., -to., which they are determined to sell at the lowest possible prices. The many years' experience J. P. and Co. have had in London, Glasgow, and manufacturing districts, will enable them con- stantly to place bargains before the public. Before opening the above establishment, John Price and Co. are anxious that the system on which they intend conduct- ing business should be clearly understood in short, it is based on the most Equitable Principle. Here there is but one ex- change between the producer and consumer; here their interests are mutual; here, when goods are bought extraor- dinarily cheap, that is, under value, which from our position as capitalists and from our knowledge of the markets, will be frequent, the same will be sold at the usual low rate of profit, therefore giving the benefit to purchasers; so it will be the in- terest of all in these economizing times, to buy their Drapery Goods, &c.. &c., at Newport House. Every article warranted good and genuine any of which failing to give the fullest satisfaction, exchanged, or the money returned. All goods marked in plain figures-only one price made. „ (See next week's MERLIN.) Newport, March, 1850. c J. EWINS.

Dated this 7th day of March, 1850. A. WADDINGTON, Clerk. BRITISH EMPIRE MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 37, NEW BRIDGE-STREET, BLACKFRIARS, LONDON. THIRD ANNUAL REPORT For the year ending December 31st, 1849. rpHE Directors, in presenting their Third Annual Report, J_ congratulate their fellow members that the support which the company has received during the last year has strengthened the confidence they have always felt in its stability and prosperity. The following statement of its progress during the three years of its existence will show that the public are becoming sensible that a Life Assurance Company, well conducted, re- quires no capital beyond that which is yielded by the premiums paid, and that a proprietary body, under whatever form or name it may be disguised, is an incumbrance on the assured members. General Investment Life. Amount. Assurances. Amount. 1H47 policies effected 266 £ 49,918 192 £13,566 1848 „ „ 318 47.059 523 30,706 1849 „ 721 103,122 450 26,253 Total in 3 years.. 1,305 E205 099 1,165 f70,525 It thus appears, that the new life policies effected during the last year are considerably more than double the number issued in the preceding year, and that they, with the invest- ment assurances, make a total of '2,470 policies issued in three years. The investment assurances have not increased in an equal proportion to the General Life Assurances, owing probably to the disarrangement of commercial affairs during the years 1847 and 1848, which has extended its influence gradually through- out society, and deprived many of the ability to lay by any surplus income. As the mode in which the funds of the com- pany are employed enables the directors to offer in these assurances an amount of interest on the sums paid in, which cannot be elsewhere obtained, while facilities are afforded for withdrawing the premiums whenever desired, they look with confidence to a large increase in this department of their business. The balance of the money advanced on the formation of the company has been paid out of the premiums received, and the company is now freed from all liabilities, except the amounts assured by the policies issued, which are amply provided for by the income arising from the premiums on the assurances granted, amounting to £ 9,584 16s. Id. per annum. The Com- pany has already realised a capital of £ 9,240 16s. 10d., a large portion of which is invested in advances to the members on various securities. Notwithstanding the prevalence of the recent epidemic, the claims for death have been but small, only £1,091 during the three years of the company's existence, being far below the amount estimated by its tables. The benefit of Life Assurance has been enforced upon public attention by the circumstances through which our country has passed during the last year the statement of a fact in illustra- tion may be desirable:-An intelligent, active, and useful man effected a policy of insurance with the company, being at the time in good health, and likely to live to old age. He had, however, only paid about two years' premiums, when, while ministering to the relief of families suffering under the recent epidemic, his useful course was suddenly arrested by that ruth- less destroyer. His wife and children were found wholly un. provided for, except by his lite policy. The money derived from the company furnished the means for his widow to commence a little business, with every prospect of being enabled thereby comfortably to provide for her family. Other cases might be adduced, it necessary. It is found that the money thus paid by ths office presents so full an exhibition of the value of Life Assurance, and the promptness wi:h which it is paid proves so strong a recommendation of your institu tion, that, in some cases, a large amount of new premiums has been the result, and the company has gained more in its in- creased income than has been disbursed in satisfaction of the claims. In conclusion, the directors remind the members that the extension of the company's business rests with themselves. If each member would (inly obtain one friend to assure his or hei life, immediately the number of policies now existing will be at once doubled, The present members will thus derive an ad- vantage, inasmuch as the expenses of the company do not increase in proportion to the extension of the business, and will be spread over a larger surface, and at the same time they will have conferred an important advantage on those who are thus induced to make some provision for the future.

LETTER I. ARALYSIS.-TO INVALIDS.—GALVANISM has for a long time been resorted to as a powerful remedial agent, but, unfortunately, it has been applied by men totally ignorant of its principles. Can it, therefore, be wondered at that it has so frequently tailed of producing any beneficial effects? My great improvement in the GAI.VANIC APPARATUS was a method to regulate its power to the greatest nicety, so that an infant may be galvanised without experiencing the least unpleasant- ness; but no sooner do I make it public that I have made this discovery, than a host of imitdtors spring up like mushrooms, and state that they are also in possession of the secret, and, by all I hear, a very pretty mess they make of their secret. Now all the world knows how eminently successful I have been in cases of paral yats, particularly in recent cases this success I attribute entirely to my superior method of regulating the power of the galvanic apparatus; for, without a peifect regulating power, it is utterly impossible to produce successful results. Scarcely a week passes but I have two or three patients who have been either galvanised by some pretender, or have been osing that ridiculous apparatus called the electro-magnetic or electro-galvanic apparatus, and, as may be reasonably expected, without the shghtest benefit. Many pretenders in the couot" I havio* heard of my great success, and my high standing as a medical galvanist in London, have made it public that they have received instructions from me, and are acting as my agents; and, not satisfied with this, are actually selling apparatuses representing them to he mine. I shall, 01 course, endeavour to put a stop to this; in the mean tlIIe, I now state that my gulvanic apparatuses can be procured from me only. as I employ no agents whatever. 1 will now endeavour to shew how gal- vanism acts in cases of paralysis. Paralysis, or palsy, consists of three varieties—the hemiplegic, the paraplegio, and the local palsy. In the first the patient is paralysed on one side on/y; in the second the lower part of the b-ndy is affected on both sides and in t tflird kind pårticlJlar limbs are affected The calise of the attacks is the withdraual of nervous influence from the izei-ve i and muscles of the various parts. Now Galvanism has been proved by the most eminent physiologists to be capable of sup- plying the nervous influence to those parts of the body which may be deficient of it, and hence the reason of its astonishing effects in c-we of paraKsie. In patients thus afflictfd, I find that some parts of the spine are less sensitive than otliei- parts and, until those parts are aroused into action, the patient will not recover. Any medical man, who knows anything whatever of Galvanism. will be at once convinced how applicable Galvanism must be for such complaints; for not only does it arouse the dormant nerves and muscles into action, but it supplies them with that fluid of which they are deficient, viz.II)e nervous fluid. 1 think it, however, but fair to srate that. in cases of paralysis of long duration, I as frequently fail as succeed whilst in recent cases I generally succeed. Still Galvanism should be resorted to in every case of paralysis, no matter of how long duration it might have been, for it cannot possibly do any harm. and it may do good. I repeat, Gdlvanism is a powerful remedy in cases d paralysis. j Health is the greatest worldly blessing we can enjoy, and yet j many invalids, for the sake of saving a few guineas, will purchase apparatuses which are entirely useless for medical pur- poses. Galvanism, they say, i8 Galvanism, no matter whether the price of the apparatus be much or little. They may as well say a fiddle is a fiddle, and that there is no difference in them. Surely no one of common sense who feels desirous of testing the remedial powers of Galvanism,will, for the sake of a few guineas, throw his money away by purchasing an imperfect instead of a perfect apprratu*. lIe may as well not try galvanism at all as try it with an inefficient apparatus. These latter remaiks 1 address paruculnrly to invalids; but how much stronger do they apply to medical men who are applying galvanism 1 They find it fail of producing those wonderful effects which I have found It to produce! And why is it? dimply, because they are using an imperfect apparatus. Scarcely a day passes but 1 receive an order form) galvanic apparatus from medical men who have been using the small machines, and found them useless. I conclude by stating that if Medical Men employ Galvanism at all in their practice, they are hound both in duty to themselves and to their patients, to use the apparatus in il:õ perfect form. The price is ten guineas. The cash to accompany 'he order. WILLIAM HOOPER HALSE. 22, Brunswick.square, London.

SIB, I ASSURE you, unfeignedly, that it is with deep regret I find myself necessitated to bring prominently before your readers the sad state of matters existing at present between the public at large and the Monmouthshire Railway and Canal Company. For this purpose, will you again kindly admit my claim to the requisite space in your valuable broadsheet? Mypresent communication will be confined to public interests, abstracted from those of the Iron Trade and the Coal Trade, though there may be some difficulty in-making the separation, since the general relations of the county to the Monmouthshire Railway and Canal Company comprehend the trades averted to. It is probable that your readers may not be aware that at the time when the Canal Company originally obtained powers for making their canals and roads, it .was expressly provided by a clause in their Act that their roads should be Public Highways, and a charge fixed for the use thereof as such. This was so far back as 1790, and so long, that is to say, for a period of some sixty years, have the roads of the Com- pany "been constituted PUBLIC HIGHWAYS." These powers under which the Company proceeded, the audacious interfer- ence therewith, and infraction thereof, notwithstanding, con- tinued by the law of the land in operation until the 1st of Aug. last year. I say audacious, for what other epithet were appro- priate to the dictum of the Committee of Management, as recorded on their minutes, bearing date October 27th, 1848. Thus runs the illegal resolution Ordered, that all traffic on the Company's roads upon Sundays, except the mails, be prohibited, cxcept with a permit from the Chief Clerk." So eager, it would seem, were the Committee to infringe upon the RIGHTS of the public, that they actually anticipated, or rather forestalled their date of doom," by a period of ten months. I would, moreover, remind your readers that in the Sessions of 1848, the Canal Company sought and obtained powers to change their designation, which had long been odiously offensive to the trading and mercantile community of our county since which period they have given a practical illustration of the Fumltm ex fulgore of Horace, by rejoicing in the name and title of the Monmouthshire Railway and Canal Company. In the same Sessions they sought for the repeal of the clause already referred to, and were delighted to obtain powers (albeit under proviso) whereby they were authorised from the 1st of August, last year, to exclude the public from the use of their highways. Your readers will please, however, to mark, that this was only done under proviso. The Committee before whom the Bill was discussed in the House of Commons, with Sir R. Peel as chairman, mindful of the interests of the community, did not cede these extensive powers without having carefully and judiciously forecast and stipulated, that on the very day on which the rights and privi- leges the public had enjoyed and exercised for more than half a century, became void, the Company should be COMPELLED to provide them with suitable accommodation at certain fixed rates of charge, in lieu thereof. By the default of the Committee and their executive, (that indolence and incompetency which are at length universally acknowledged—the same having been manifested even to the self-conviction of the great majority of their own body) the public were disseized of certain rights and privileges fixed for coming into effect on August 1st, 1848, until the same date in the following year. Notices were issued from the Head Office (query office without ahead J at Newport, warning the public from the use of the said roads on and after the date last mentioned; and big with expectation, the Company anticipated their duties by trying their 'prentice hands upon the iron, coal, and general merchandize—with what effect, it is no part of my present letter to say reserving, as I do, my comments on that head, for another occasion. Up to the time I commemorate, the public had been accom- modated with mail vans, cars, trams, &c., &c., to the number of twenty to thirty on the tram roads, and also with "two mails, daily, to and fro, on the Queen's highway, between this P,Ce and Newport. Soon after this period, however, one mail was wholly dis- continued, and subsequently, in order to suit the time of the Post Cffiee, the other was altered to hours most inconvenient to the public requisitions, at the same time that the trams conveying passengers on the tram roads, were entirely with- drawn. 'Tis true the Company put one third-class carriage on the road, but as this did not Etop save when and where it pleased the engine driver himself, it afforded little or no real accom- modation to the public. About two months had this small aid been rendered the traveller, when out came the following notice MONMOUTHSHIRE RAILWAY & CANAL COMPANY. ( What a farcical title.) WESTERN VALLEY LINES. The public are(qy. respectfully) informed that in consequence of a communication received from the Commissioners of Railways, the passenger carriage, hitherto attached to the goods train (by way of affording additional safety to the public, I suppose) leaving Newport early in the morning, will cease to be used, and that until the line shall be approved of by them as safe for a passenger traffic, no passenger carriage will be further used as a means of conveyance for the public nor will any person be henceforth suffered or permitted to ride upon or in any engine, waggon, or other carriage, except he or they may, from the nature of his or their duty or employment, be attached to any engine, waggon, or carriage, passing or travelling upon or along such lines. Newport, Dec. 28, 1819. R. RUSCOE, Chief Clerk The upshot of all this bungling is, that the public are left without any means whatever, of communication. It is to shew the grievous nature of this deprivation, and with a view to some speedy remedy, that I again take up my pen to draw attention to the laches of the Company. It may be objected. that they arc amenable to the laws of their country for any dereliction of duty, and this may be truly averred. But, Mr. Editor, we cannot overlook the fact, that public companies have public purses wherewith to work, and that it too often happens that might overcomes right. For a short time longer will I rely upon that which has hitherto so well answered the Freighters' purpose, namely, an open, fearless, exposure of the company, armed as I always have been, and shall ever be, 1 trust, with truth and justice and, therefore, caring nought for the frowns of any man, or set of men. If this fails, I will then try the law of the case. From the want of accommoda- tion for travelling to and fro between this place and the Hills or Newport, as the case may be, I have, myself suffered, and that not lightly. 1, with others, feel that the expense of posting in this age of economy is not quite compatible with the strength of my purse. But, sir, whilst men like myself, in the middle walks of life, have cause to complain of this state of things, what, let me ask, must be the amount of suffering and privation inflicted on, and borne by, the large mass of the working population of this district ? Trams, laden with passengers by thousands every month, were wont to run to and from Newport, at charges of about one halfpenny per head per mile. Wretched as was this system, still for want of a better, it answered the purpose tolerably well in fine weather. A large number of the more frugal of the working classes went regularly to Newport, to purchase their supplies of food, &c., at the best hand and among these, I would mention a woodman, in the employ of Sir B. Hall, who, with a Very large family, lives near the bottom of my garden, in a house built out of small savings from many years frugality. I would, likewise, instance some of my own workmen at Abertillery, who have for years drawn their supplies from Newport. But, alas, TEIR TRAMS ARE PROHIBITED RUNNING, and these poor people are thus deprived unjustly and illegally of such advantages, except at a cost, almost, if not fully, equivalent to the differ- ence between a good and bad market. In the one case adduced, the party have twelve miles to walk to Newport, and in the other they have seventeen miles to walk to Newport, and as many miles on their return—for I need not say that to the working man the the maii is out of the question; and I believe that most men would find walking the distance a very fair days work. Shopkeepers and tradesmen at Brynmawr, having business at Newport are now condemned to walk over the Hill via Blaenavon to Pontypool, and take the packet coach on, whilst others ride or drive via Abergavennv, and some go via Mer- thyr and Cardiff. Nor is this all. The mischief does not end here. The Company's charges for conveyance of goods up from Newport are most atrociously exorbitant. The carriage of a sack of flour from Newport to Arbertillery, 17 miles, is HAIJ- A-CROWN. Carriage of ditto from Newport to this place, 11 miles,is EIGHTBBNPENCK. Such are thecharges imposed bythe Company, though they must know that the charge for similar carriage on the Taff Vale Railway, from Cardiff to Merthyr, 24 miles, is BIGHTPENCB only Feeling it incumbent on me to lay bare to the light of day the odious system which, identical with that heretofore pursued by the quondam Company, is persisted in to the destruction of their best interests by the new, it were too much to expect that I can fulfil this imperative duty without stirring up the bile of some half dozen of the Committee, 01 wunouc awakening to the pangs of disappointed hope, a host of deluded shareholders whcse stake in the concern is fast becoming nil. "Fine by degrees," &c. As is usual, rather than play the scorpion and sting themselves with their proper weapons, these interested parties will turn round upon their best friend, and may pro- bably combine to hurl their missiles at his devoted head—to as good purpose, I assure them, as were they to fire small shot at a Rhinoceros. Thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just." I do not calculate on not being subjected to the renewed personalities of anonymous assailants, whose delight is to spit their venom at the bidding of their masters. Your columns, sir, have on former occasions (I am sure to the distaste and annoyance of yourself and readers) presented specimens of their quality." I have no more expectation now than heretofore of escaping the malignity of such characters. Sufficient for me to bear it with most perfect equanimity. That is my vooation. To out- rage truth, under cover of a mask, is theirs. I can spare these persons my pity and pardon but were I revengeful, it might console me to reflect that malice ever drinks the greater part of its own poison. Nor, indeed, do I suppose that some slight effort will not be made to concoct and elaborate what may bear the appearance of a reply. Anticipating some such attempt, let me remind your readers of a particular animadverted on in the closing part of my last campaign in your columns. I complained that at the time I wrote, the cost of conveying a sack of flour from Newport to Beaufort, 22-J miles, was ONE SHILLING AND NIN E- 2 PBVCK, and insisted, with perfect truth, that this was solely attributable to the wretched management of the Company. Be it then borne in mind how a hireling scribe of the Company met this allegation After going through a long detailed cal- culation, with which it is unnecessary to load your columns, he wound up as follows" When the Company become carriers, the freight of a sack of flour from Newport to Beaufort, 22f miles, will be EIGHTPBNCK THREE FAHTHINQS." Capital! Sir, the Company have become carriers, and they charge me for the carriage of a sack of flour, not 8d., but ONE SHILLING AND SIXPENCE. Some of your readers may naturally conclude that I live at twice the distance that Beaufort lies from New- port. Not so I reside half the way between Beaufort and Newport; and at the rate of the illusory engagement I have upheaved from the grave for the edifiation of your readers, I ought to have to pay for the charge of a sack of flour, say at most 6d., and not Is. 6d. I have done for the present, and will only add, that whilst I am prepared to disregard the en- venomed shafts of known or unknown rascallions, I rest assured that there is not a man amongst the proprietary who will, in his own name and person, defend the intolerable system which for some years, albeit but too feebly, I have publicly reprobated. I have long nailed my colours to the mast; and whilst I live and can wield a pen, will never cease from this righteous warfare until I have accomplished my mission—the task I have set before me, which is that of placing Monmouthshire on an equality with, and in as good a position in regard to its internal communications, as are the other large manufacturing counties in England. The Prospects of the Shareholders, and other matters, I reserve for future letters. I am, sir, your obedient servant, JAMES BROWN. Newbridge, March 11th, 1850. LLANTARNAM, MON. TO MILLERS AND OTHERS.
