      MINERAL TEERA METALLIC . For Filling Decayed Teeth , without Beat , Pain , or Pressure ; and Incorrodible Mineral Teeth fixed without giving the least Pain , or shewing avy fastening whatever . LEEDS AND BRADFORD . ME . ESKELL , SURGEON DENTIST , OP i \ 0 . 12-i , PARK-KOW , LEEDS , EESPECTFULLY announces that he is on a Professional Vi . it to Bradford , and for the better Accommodation of bi > Friends , has made Arrangeinent * to attend tho .-e Place .- - , and may be consulted in all tbe Branches of DENTAL SURGERY as follows , until further Notice : — Every Wednesday and Thursday , at Mm . Briy < js , J Fell-St net , Bradford ; and every Monday , Tuesday , Friday and Saturdqy , at his Residence ^ 12 i , Park-Row , Leeds . XKCOEJE . OUIBUS MISTSRiit TEETH , From One to a complete Set , wiiiclx are no * only Iudestructrble , but also incapable of Discolouration . Amongst the advantages of Mt . Eskell ' s System , one of the principal 13 , that it confers tbe powers of tbe mostdistinct Articulation , and submits this as really an advantage of the utmost importance , but when to it is added the capability x > 1 biting tbe hardest substance , without pain , though last , not least , that it gives the appearance of juvenility to countenances otherwise of an aged appearance . Mr . Estell wishes to impress upon tbe Ladies and Gentlemen not to have the kast prejudice against hi ? Artificial Teetb , ~ for tbey are both useful and ornamental ; his principle is quite ditl ' erent from any other , it conduces to both beaurv and comfort . A new Description of Mineral Teeth that closely re ? embks r . ature ; tht ? e Mineral Teeth eminently possess every superiority that can be desired over tbe various substances ofTi-red to the public for similar purposes ; their colour is -unchangeable , and they may be bad in every gradation of shade , to suit any that may be remaining in the mouth . In point of economy the Mineral Teeth v . ill be found highly advantageous to tbe wearer , as in durability . Mr- Eskell avails himself of this opportunity to explain tbe various species of Disease to whic-b the mouth is liable , according to the princi ] les laid down by the most lip nnt med ca men , convinced that so important a condition as personal appearance cannot fail ol bting interesting . Scaling the Teeth . —This operation when performed by a skilful Dentist , causes not the least pain , and is effected in order to preserve the Teeth from tartared effluvia , to kepp them pure and white , and to free the breath from any displeasant odour ; this operation should take place occasionally ; Cauterizing the Teeth . —The operation is had . recourse to upon the first symptoms of decay , in order to arrest the progress of disease , and which , provided it be done in due time , p revents that acute pain followed by ultimate extraction . * Filling the Yacuum of Decayed Teeth . —This process , simple in itself and easy to endure , preserves tbe enamel of the Teeth in their primitive state , and entirely prevents any portion of ailment or foul air from entering the cavities—the gem-ral source of offensive elfluvia . Separatirig of the Teeth . —The Teeth , from want of proper attention , are apt in most persons to close and connectibemselves with each other , which is generally the chief cause of decay ; in such cases it is particularly advisable to separate them . Great care is required in this operation . Fastening Loose Teeth . —Mr . E . during his course of study has adopted a mode of fastening loose Teeth , particularly of aged persons , whether arising from neglect or any other cause , which he is happy to say , has proved successful to the full extent of his expectations . Regulating the Teeth . —It is well known that'Teeth will often grow too long , and outstretch each other , sometimes obtruding themselves beyond the bounds prescribed by the circular formation of the mouth : under such circumstances they require regulating , which greatly adds to the agreeable appearance of the conntenance , in the laugh , and gives facility to the articulation . The beauties of a well-regulated set of Teeth are so generally acknowledged and admired , that to offer further observation on this head would be superfluous . Fixing one or more Teeth . —The method adopted in this process of replacing Teeth , renders it impossible to discern the artificial from the natural , without wire spring or showing any fastening whatever . Extraction of the Root or the Fangs of the Teeth . —Although this operation is often dreaded by the afflicted , from the facility which characterizes the performance of his operation , Mr . E . has been most successful in removing all fearful apprehensions . Fixing compUte Sets of Teeth . —Complete sets by the assistance ef a new invented spring , which © perates with the action of the jaws , in mastication , &c . will be found , in every respect amply competent to supply the place of their predecessors . Attendance from Ten till Four , at his residence , 12 % , Par A Row , every Monday , Tuesday , Friday and Saturday .

      In consequence of numerous applications continually received from Bradford and the Neighbourhood , one of the Proprietors of Dr . Henry ' s French Meroine Pills , will attend every Wednesday and Thursday , at No . 4 , George Street , facing East Brook Chapel , Bradford . A TREATISE IS JUST PUBLISHED ON THE VENEREAL & SYPHILITIC DISEASES , AND GIVEN "WITH EACH BOX OF : DR . HENRY'S FRENCH MEROINE PILLS , / CONTAINING plain and practical directions for the effectual cure of all degrees of the above eom-\ J plaints—vrith observations on seminal weakness arising from early abuses , and the deplorable conseqnences resultingirom the use of mercury , the whole intended for the instruction of general readersj so that all persons can obtain an immediate cure with secrecy and safety . Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor , who has removed from bis Old Establishment , No . 74 , Cobourg Street , to No . 16 , PARK : SQUAKE , Two Doors from St . Paul's Church , Leeds , where they may be consulted as usual . In Boxes , 2 s . 9 d . and 4 s . 6 d . each . "With each Box ie given directions how to take these Pills , observations on points beneficial to the patient , being hints worth knowing by those who are , or have been , sufferers from this dreadful and devastating malady . ^ - _ ¦ , ¦ ¦ - . That cruel disease which has destroyed so many thousands is now unhappily so well known that a recital ofits effects is < roite unnecessary , its malignant influence extending by inheritance from , family to family , and when the great Doctor Henry became professor to the University , he conferred an invaluable benefit trpon mankind by the discovery of his grand panacea for the cure or this deplorable complaint . The certainty with which the Pills are continually administered can be attested by many thousands who are annually cured by them . "What mediciae can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The lYencb Pills root out every particle of the insidious poison , purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids . They not only remove the disease but they renovate by their action the different functions of the body—expelling the grosser humour , and in a manner so imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers . They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral , and may ~ be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery ; they require ho restraint of diet , loss of time , or hindrance of business , but effect a complete cure without the least exposure tothepatient . At anyperiod when the slightest suspicion may existit will be well to have recourse to the Erendi Pills ; for when taken before the disease has made its appearance they act as a certain preventive , removing the comp laint effectually and secretly . The deplorable state in which many persons have "been ¦ when visiting the Doctor ( from the use of mercury ) renders it imperatively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered . The Doctor , after an extensive practice of Thirty Years , has Tendered , ma counsel an object of the utmost consequence to all who are labouring under hereditary or deep seated maladies ; to those troubled with seminal weakness , his advice will be inTalu&ble ; hundreds have' owned his skill in these complaints ; To the youth of both sexes , whether lured from health by the promptings of passion , or . ' tbedelusions of inexperience , his advice is superior ; in Ids practice he unites a mild gentleness of treatment , andpossessing so thorcugh aknowledge of his art , the most deplorable cases afford no resistance to his skill . His extensive practice has rendered him the depositary of many distressing secrets which are kept with unblemished faith and honour ; to persons so amietedj its highly necessary to observe that an _ early application is of the greatest importance , and that-with such a practitioner any hesitation in disclosing their disorder , must amount to a delicacy as destructiTe as it is false and unnecessary . To the neglect of such ; attention ^ are attributable many of those hapless instances , which , while they excite the commiseration of the beholder , should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach . To all such , then , we address ourselves , offering hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity ; nor aught our advances to appear questionable , sanctioned as they are bYthe multiplied proofs of thirty years' saccessfaT * iperuftiee ; ; -Letter * ( pofet paid ) inclosing a r » . mittance .-answered by the retorn of post , and Medicines punctually transmitted to any address , either by initials , or name . Back entrance , West-Street , One Door from Sh-Paui ' A . pburch . ¦ . ¦ v ; . With each Box will be given practical observations , gratuitously , 6 n the above disease . The Doctor will attend daily at his principal residence , No . 16 , Park Square , from Eight in the morning till Ten at night , and on Sunday from Nine till Two , where he will administer advice to any one taking these Pills , or any other of Ms Preparations , without a fee .

      Embezzlement by an Apprentice . —Chas . Milne , a youth about seventeen years of age , apprentice to Mr . James Simpson , was charged by his master with the following cases of embezzlement . On the Thursday before Good Friday , he was told by a friend of his , that he had sent his son to his shop for three pounds of paint , and a brush for which he paid 2 s . 6 d . Mr . S . not having received the money asked the prisoner about it , and he denied having sold any paint at all . Thinking that the bov might have made some mistake as to the shop , he took him with him to shew him where he had bought the articles , and was thus coavinced that they had Tbeen obtained as described ; he then marked a half-crown piece and sent a person to get some paint , and stood

      at the street end till be returned with it . He saw him go into the shop and come out ; he then went in himself , and asked Milne if he had taken any money and he said , no he had not . He then called im the police , and described the mark on the silver . Prisoner denied the charge , but at length produced the marked coin , and acknowledged taking the other one . He had reason to believe that similar practices had been carried on for a considerable time , but as the friends of the culprit were highly respectable , he did not wish to prosecute . The magistrates decided that it was a case which ought not to be passed over and Mr . Parker said they would not allow the master to compromise the matter , it was necessary for the boy ' s own sake that he shouW be punished , otherwise he might bring himself to the gallows .

Inspector Potter stated that hearing a great noise he knocked at the door , which , after considerable delay , was opened by a man who stated himself to be the landlord , and on going up stairs , he found four men smoking , and the table wet and marked with chalk , but neither

      dnnk nor cards were to be seen . The landlord said that the men were lodgers , and on the inspector desiring to see the lodging rooms , he said they had but one , and he could not let him go into it as his wife was in bed . The inspector opened the room door , and seeing only one bed , he proceeded no further . Mrs . Langifan said her husband was from home ; it washer brother , who admitted the inspector the men ; were lodgers , but generall y only came two at a time , and she made them a bed on the floor but

      as she could not make one for four they resolved to sit up with a general consent . The court consulted and the mayor informed the defendant that as the magistrates had a doubt on the subject , they would give her husband the benefit of that doubt , and dismiss-the case on payment of the costs ( 2 s ) but if brought up again , they would feel bound to inflict the penalty . : Ancient Forestry . —On Easter Monday , about yO- of the brethren of Court Mount Nebo No-fl , met ^ at their Cpurt-ropmj in the Eagle anc Childrrlnn , Higher-lane , Pilkington ; * liett aftw imtiatxng ^ everal members , a procession was formed which , after perambulating the villages of Whitefieldy and Prestwich , retnrned "to the Eagle arid Child , about seven ; o ' cl 6 ck , when > after each brother had ( W justice to his stomach , the brethren

      ^ ajMni ay morning , about half-past five , a fire « J || jfw * s attended with' the most disastrous conj »| pBnees , broke out on the premises of an " artist UL-fire works , " named Cockerhill , Paradise-row Lower-roadj Islington . The house occupied by Mr . Cockerhill and his family , and in which the process of manufacturing fireworks and rockets was carried on , was in the cottage style , two stories in height . It was situated in a garden , detached from ^ _ sulTounding . buildings , and , was . apnroached bv a

      Jgi ^ l ^ t fifeo ^ t r'Th ^^ T atintiMfigB S of ^^ was given by a member , of the ^ amilv j-and ivheflr it was discovered bad obtained Csiioh a-tearful-ascendency , that all hopes oi sailng ^ eihoa ^ - ^^ -4 ^ atfenar-The policeim ^ gers ; in cabs to the various Fire Establishment engine-stations . Several very powerful engines , accompanied by a numerous body of men including those of-Whitecross-streety Farringdon-street , Holi born , Jeffrey-square , "West of England , and numerous others , speedily arrived at the scene of destruction . At this jdme the premises were coni pletelv enveloped in flames from the basement to the roof andindeedfrom thmoment the alarm

      , , e was given the fire was blazing away with great fury , and occasional discharges of fire works , gunpowder and other combustibles used in the preparation of devices , took place , sending forth volumes of smoke and flame to the terror of the ihbabitants , When the parish and other engines were got into readiness to work there was a great ^ deficiencyof wafer , a matter of not much consideration in this case but which must have been attended with great incon . ¦ venience had the building adjoined any others .: The knowledge Of the dangerous substances : in the house prevented the firemen arid their assistants from approaching too hear the burning premises . The late period at which any water was obtained , and the deficiency of the supply , rendered the efforts of

      firemen almost useless ; and the frequent explosions blew the interior of the building soon to atoms , blue , crimson , and other fires illuminating the atmosphere . There were two barrels , each containing half a hundred wei ght of gunpowder , which exp loded with a loud report , and shobjc the neighbouring houses . At half-past six o ' clock the premises which were upwards of thirty feet in ' breadth and sixty in length , were reduced to a heap of -ruins nothing remaining of them but the blackened walls cracked in many places by the intense heat and the frequent concussions . The most serious part of the calamity is yet to be told , VVhen the fire broke out the metropolitan police from the station of Islington green mustered in considerable numbers , and on being informed that several persons were in the house four or five of them , unmindful of the great danger which threatened them used the most

      strenuous exertions to get at mem , and some of the police actually entered the lower part of the bouse but their exertions were in vain , and three unfortu nate persons perished in the flames . Three others made their escape unhurt , and a fourth , Mr . Cockerhill , also got away , but not before he had been most dreadfull y burnt in endeavouring ta save his family . The names of the deceased persons are John Cockerill , aged thirty eight ; Henfy Cockerill aged twenty ; and James Cockerill , aged sevehteeh !

      As soon as the melancholy fact became known the utmost sorrow was evinced by the assembled multi tude , and expressions of regret fell from I ' eyefr individual . The sad tidings became known . al ) over the metropolis on the same day , and great nuinbeh of persons collected in Islington during the day to visit the scene of disaster . As soon as the [ ruins had become sufficiently cooled Mr . Crooklann , the foreman of the Jeffry-street station , directed several of his men to search the ruins for the remains of the

      unfortunate victims . At seven o ' clock they ! were found , corisnmed to a cinder . A shell was procured , and they were carefully taken to the bonehouse ; of the parish of Islington till the result of the coroner ' s inquisition . The additional particulars of this de . plorable calamity have been furnished by one of thef survivors , James Cockerill , an interesting young man , who has to mourn the loss of three brothers . The family consisted of Mr . and Mrs . Cockerill , aged persons , their four sons and a daughter . They one and all retired to bed on Saturday night at twelve o ' clock , and before they jwent to bed they looked over the house ; as was . jtheir nightly custom , and particularly ascertainedi . that

      everything was safe and all li ghts and fires were ex ^ tinguished . With the exception of James Cockerill they all slept in the upper part of the house , j He , about half-past five o ' clock on Sunday morning , ; was awoke by an explosion , and his bed-room filled ) with smoke ; he got up and rushed out of the house by the street-door , and on looking up saw smoke and flames issuing from a window o £ an apartment which eontfifned powder and other combustibles used in . ihe trade . With great presence of mind be seized » garden ladder , and dashed it through the window of the apartment in which his father and three broiheis slept . He also alarmed his mother and sisterlid a

      similar manner , who succeeded in effecting an escape i but the latter ,.. in descending the ladder ^ fell with much violence to the grou- d . After se ' eing theni safe he entered the room of his brothert ! , faad endeavoured to rouse them , but without sueces ? , most likely they were suffocated previously . At last the flames burst forth from the room , and the building was rapidly destroyed . Mr . CockeriirWas severely burnt , and we regret to state that he is now lying in St . Bartholomew's Hospital in a dasgerous condition . Various reports are in circulation as to the cause of the fire ; the general ^ opinioi of Mr . Cockerill and his son is that it was . the act

      of an incendiary . Mr . Cockerill is not insured The manner in which the fire . originatedis Inot known . It is . supposed to have-been caused by a spark from a candle in one of the bed-rooms ; bat this is merely conjecture . —A number of the res-pectable and humane inhabitants of Islington have called a meeting , to be held at the Freemasons ' Hall , on Friday , to take the case of the surviving members of the family into consideration , andi to raise a sum of money to relieve them in some iiaeasure from the effects of the melancholy catastrophe with which they have been visited , and which has deprived them of almost every thing they possessed

      Execution at LiyEBPObL . —On Satu % morning , the execution of William Hill , for tie murder of Betty MihshuU , at W ' arrington , took place at Liverpool . The facts attending the case bein ^| « f a peculiar nature , and in the opinion of many , accompanied with several mitigating .
