Mr. FALEUR respectfully announces to the Public, in addition to his improvements in the composition of MINERAL TEETH, which have always given so much satisfaction, that he has planned and brought to perfection an effectual method of introducing an Artificial Palate, so as completely to relieve the sufferer.For this invention of his art, Mr. F. is enabled to refer to a Field Officer lately returned from India, whose, Teeth and Palate were shot away in the Mahratta Ware and whose sufferings and privations in consequenc, were great for several years but he is now so far relieved as to be enabled to eat, drink, and talk with ease and satisfaction. Mr. F. again beg leave to caution the Public against the invidious attacks of an advertising Dentist, who, by frequent publications, endeavours to injure him. Mr. Faleur, being honoured with an extensive portion of public favour, can feel no other sentiment for this envious, disappointed, and irritable old man, but pity.And Mr. F. is confident, that while he continues to give satisfaction to those who honour him with their commands, no efforts of an ungenerous enemy can injure him with a British Public.

The Proprietors of this article can announce to the public, that it is not only the most excellent Blacking ever seen; (for jet black lustre) but they assert, that it possesses the rare quality of preventing dampness, and even rain from affecting its pristine gloss, without the use of the Oil of Vitriol, which every other Blacking is made with, and is so prejudicial to the leather; and farther, that no dust will adhere to the boot or shoe, which may not be wiped off with a handkerchief, and the polish will thus continue for three or four days without additional blacking. But the proprietors have discovered one grand property which this, of all other Blacking, possesses, and must recommend itself to the world in general, particularly to officers, both in the navy and army, and others travelling to the East and West Indies, as well as to those who export Boots and Shoes, to have them done with it before the voyage, because it will positively prevent that destructive insect, the Cock Roach, from touching the leather; it being a well known fact, from their devastation, that often out of a whole package, hardly a single pair can be found wearable! This invaluable Blacking may be had wholesale, retail, and for exportation, at the Warehouse, No. 2, Webber-street, Westminster Road; where all orders (post paid) will be taken, and punctually executed. Sold in Bottles of One Shilling and Nine-pence, and One Shilling each. Payment is expected on delivery. None will be genuine but what is signed, on the bottle, in writing JAS WEST and CO. Directions for using it. Let the dirt be brushed clean off first ;-shake the bottle and pour a little into a saucer, then, with a soft brush, thinly and equally lay it on;—it gives the best | polish if brushed before it is too dry, but it must be done with a hard brush, quick and lightly. Appropriate sets of brushes may be had, and also a Composition for boot tops, which will take out all stains, and make the leather look like new. A CARD TO THE LADIES. [730 IRISH LINENS.

A discerning public will doubtless perceive, that on the above principles the benefits of insurance from fire will be arrived at in the cheapest and most secure man. ner. The premiums of insurance are as low as can be admitted, consistently with the security of the insured themselves, should unfavourable events arise: but if it Proves that such events do not take place, the excess of premium will be returned in the shape of profits; these profits, however, may reasonably be expected to be very satisfactory, as the business of the Association consists of a selection of the best risks, the Directors act gratuitously, and the arrangements are, in all respects, justly economical; the capital embarked also, while amply sufficient to cover any train of losses that can be conceived in an office which rejects great hazards, is not so great as to disperse the profits through an useless curent of shareholders.
