ATTENDANCE FROM 10 TO 4. Mr. L. M. has much pleasure iu calling the attention of those who may require his professional assistance to his tastuew and important Improvements in the Art of Dental Mechanism, and which consists of an Artificial Gum being attached to the Teeth, aud which is of the same indestructable nature as the Tooth, and will never change colour or decay. They are free from all unplea- sant odour, and they restore the face to the original youthful appearance and perfect contour of countenance- and they have the advantage of b-iug fixed upon purely atmospheric principles upon the most tender Gums with- out extracting the stumps, and are guaranteed to answer every purpose of Mastication and Aiticulation, and are a desideratum in Dental Surgery long required and never brought into practice. Natural and Artificial Teeth fitted from one to a complete set, with all the modern improve- ments, as practised both in the Metropolis arid Pans. Mr. L. M. being the Manufacturer of the newly in- vented Artificial Teeth, he can guarantee to the Patient advantages not attainable except in the Metropolis. :\1(. L.

Mr. B. hopes that twenty jears' practice and study in five colleges will be a suffi- cient guarantee, since the elite of this country are fully aware you must pass a ligid examination on the Conti- nent. Therefore pretenders cannot act. Teeth supplied from one to a complete set on his beau- tiful system of self-adhesion, and are so contrived as to adapt themselves over the most tender Gums or lemain- ing Stumps without causing the least pain, rendering the operation of extracting or filling untieces sary,-perfectly natural both for mastication and articulation. Parties requiring Artificial Teeth can be supplied with the same during Mr. B.'s stay in the Town, as he is his own "Mechanical Dentist."

THE MANNINGS AND THEIR CRIME. On Tuesday the metropolis witnessed the most awful act which the necessities of justice or ot self-preservation can impose on a sovereign State. We performed an act of judicial slaughter. Dreadful as the circumstances of capital puni .hment always must be, revolting as are its details, and beyond all former example the horrors both of the crime and the closing- scene in this instance, yet they are all tolerable compared with the thoughts sug- gested by a t»u-e-tri ious scrutiny. Through its constituted organs the whole people on Tuesday cut short the visible being and the moral course of two miserable creatures, born with immortal souls, doubtless once innocent and loving, with the hidden germs of the highest virtue and the loftiest attainments, yet both cast out, as it were on the dunghill, and the "particle of divinity" within them sent we kllolV not where, quivering and fleeting on its un. known journey to the presence of Him that gave it. One may almost take refuge in the odious spectacle from the overwhelming responsibility of the act, and con- sult peace of mind by a blind faith in the Executive, and its sacred vocation. The most morbid conscience, how- ever, will derive some consolation from the unfrequency of these scenes. It is not thirty years since one might walk out any Monday morning before breakfast and seen half a dozen poor wretches dying the death of dogs for petty thefts committed in hunger, or trifling injuries done in a drunken affray. Capital punishment is no longer the normal award for a legal crime, not even for an ordinary murder, but the mark by which we designate what is portentous and horrible. When deeds have been com- mitted that would seem to pollute the earth, then we purge the land, and hang up the guilty authors before the Sun in the sight of God and the people. While every circumstance of horror and atrocity is accumulated in this crime, it seems to silence all doubts as to its punishment by the examples to which it naturally directs us. In the almost sacred antiquities of our national annals, as we read them in the inspired pages of our great dramatist, there is just such an instance. Had Maria Manning been possessed with the insane thought of following Lady Macbeth in her insatiable cupidity and ambition—in her atrocious conceptions, her undaunted soul and unflinching nerve; in her dominion over a sottish and a cowardly husband, in her treachery to her guest, in the complacency with which she could behold her victim, in the vigour with which she could smite him "as an ox in the shambles," and perhaps also in the steadiness with which she could encounter her doom, she could not have played her part with truer feeling of its character. The revelations of this case, especially if we may trust the confessions of hid1 who was the "weaker vessel of the two, add probability to the tradition, and prove how truly Shakspere could describe, and how little he exaggerated. Maria Manning drugged both her victim and hertoot for weeks together. The grave was dug a month before, and shown with a sort of secret triumph to its future occupant. All that time she daily counted the gains of the speculation. That no happy characteristic or timely adornment might be wanting to the deed, tho scrip .Iud shares of familiar railway lines are mixed with the trans- action; brokers are brought into the witness-box, who testify in the same breath to the signature of the accused and the depreciation of shares. Mrs, Manning made' haste to slay her man, and realise, for the market w#J falling. Herself intriguing and jealous, she played 0[» the vanity and the desultory passions of a male flirt by promising him a meeting with a fair yotin6, stranger at her table. With the usual ascendancy of unscrupulous wickedness, she made a lodger, who was all but a stranger, write falsehoods at her ready dictation. Such is Lad? Macbeth on the Bermondsey stage. As tor the tiling who was her husband, but njt a mall' one hardly ventures to speak of him, lest we should ma^ hi til out too base even tor punishment; but no reality (>' fiction can equal what he tells us of himself. He foiio1 O'Connor moaning upon his grave, whereon lie had fa ilef), I never liked him well, and I battered in his skull with ripping chisel." So for a wife whom lie did not love he battered in the skull of a poor moaning wretch whom did not like well. No wonder he could not sleep io house wheu his wife had gone. Yet he could rise take possession." Shakspere's is not the only page ill* trated from the native horrors of a little street in the law est of our suburbs. It is Ahab aud Jezebel to the life- Jezebel the daring foreigner, th-5 profane uabeliever, pg Maria Manning rio*'seems to have b^-eri; the ready argue* the greedy aggraudiztr, the forger, the intri-'uer, the reso- lute, the pamted and attired even unto death. we think of that tremendous chapter in the insp»re history ol 1 rovidence, we may conclude it no unwarrant* able presumption in a Christ,an people, and a ruler th»J beireth the sword, not in vain, to make this wrettV' pair walk over their own graves to their doom, evell. they had done by their own victim. A great novel' whose knowledge of the human heart and its working under the infinite varieties and accidents of modern l''1.^ needs not our praise, has sent us a letter describing "'J impressions on witnessing the execution. Hislangua^ J excitell our admiration, but not our surprise. The xcefX'' < doubtless the most horrid, and apparently the most harde^ ing, that can he imagined. We are not prepared howeV to follow Mr. Dickens to his conclusion. It appears it us a matter of necessity that so tremendous on act 1\:11; national homicide should be puhllcly as well as Bolero" f done. Popular jealousy demands it. Were it otlieryise- the mass of the people would never be sure that grs*' °(,f fenders were really executed, or that the humbler c'a6S|0 criminals were not executed in greater numbers than State chose to confess. 'The mystery of the prison would be intolerable, for, besides mere curiosity* J indignation would ask to see or learn the details of 1 f punishment, the fact of its ignominious character, an'' f ) bearing of the criminals. Nor do we think it altoget. JI' fair to infer the real feelings, much less the abiding | prtssion of the spectators from the horrid, hys,t: j mirth produced by a night's exposure, an immense and a long-suspended expectation. Few ol us ever to confess deep emotion, and men often hide the j feeling with the wildest excesses of manner and They who wouid bury themselves un'ler the earth i' could, when they cannot escape lhe public eje will times belie their mental struggles by the most fr'' (|,a exaggerations. Haiulet was never so mad over tti grave of Ophelia, when the scene recalled all his na 1'8 Of melancholy, all the miseries of his li:e, aud the horr" 0° his preternatural mission. In the rude mutileto Tuesday congregated before Horsemonger-lane y might be uo nearer approach to Hainl"t than Mr* ■ jty <»' himself, yet what we say is true of the jrreat .-pe* minds, aud not the less true of the most undmcip — Times* l
