PAj EN r IMI ROVEMENT in the mode of insert
ing ARTIfc ICIAL TEETH, which is one of the
greutest and most important inventions ever made in
this branch of the Dentist's art.
The improvement consists in the employment of a
metal superior to gold in purity, and in the complete
union ot all the teeth by a silicious compound, which
at the same time forms the most beautiful and natu
ral looking gum, and filling np all crevices and irregu
larities, and rendering it impossible for the teeth to
become unpleasant to the wearer by the accumula
tion of particles of food «r other substances between
them. No other mode of mounting artificial teeth it
comparable to this in any respect.
Persons wearing teeth (inserted in the ordinary
way, and not giving satisfaction,) are invited to try
this invention, which they can do at but little addi
tional cost.
We shall be pleased to show specimens cf this kind
of work to any persons who will call at our office,
whether Obey want artificial teeth or not.

FLUSH TIMES OF ALABAMA AND MISSIS
SIPPI
We have received from a correspondent
the first leaves of this new book, which will
be issued by the Mwssrs. Appleton in a
few days. It consists of a series of
sketches, the rollicking humor of which has
rarely beeu equalled by any writer in this
country. The author is Joseph G. Baldwin,
Esq., a native of Virginia, aud a nephew of
the late Judge Baldwin of Staunton. He is
now a resident of Alabama, where, though
yet a young man, he has reached the very
Iront rank ol his profession as a learned and
able lawyer. We are astonished that, iu the
midst of his arduous professional duties, he
has found time to make such finished and in
imitable contributions to literature as moat
ot those which we have seen from his pen.
Hie versatility of his genius has rarely been
equalled. e recollect, when we first read
Ihe Hush Times in the Messenger, we
were so struck with their irresistible wit and
humor, that we sought out the editor of the
Messenger, and begged him, if it were no
secret, to give us the name of the author.
On a subsequent occasion, we saw in the
Messenger an article of an entirely different
character, one of the most eloquent and vig
orous pieces of historical writing we have
ever read, and which arrested the admiring
attention of some of the first minds of the
State. Upon inquiry, we heard to our sur
prise, that this was also a production of the
versatile and splendid pen of Joseph G.
Baldwin.
We beg here to correct a prevalent misap
prehension, that the work about to be issued
by the Appletons is only a re-publication of
"The Flush Times" in the Messenger. From
an examination of the rich and attractive ta
ble of contents, we see that nine out of the
twenty-six "sketches" of the book have
never been published.
SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
Yesterday's Enquirer discourses 011 "Retrench
ment and Reform," which, it fav?, were issues in
the late Presidential election of scarcely less mo
ment than the slavery question; that Franklin
Pierce became President "under the solemn in.
structionof the people to execute their will by
cleansing the Augean stable, and giving to history
the record of another administration unstained by
corruption and distinguished by an honest and eco
nomical expenditure of the public money. - ' We
quote another passage:
It may be too soon yet to determine whether or
not the administration of Mr. Pierce will faithfully
di-charge its obligations and redeem its pledges.—
If, however, we may not anticipate the future, we
can at least reflect with satisfaction on the past,
and may triumphantly adduce the acts of the ad
ministration solar in proof of its purpose to meet
the expectations of the country.
The Whig has a leader 011 "the Forthcoming
Message." The drift ot the article is explained in
the following paragraph:
We have been told by nearly all the Democratic
presses, "oh don't mind the individual acts ol the
Cabinet (though the Enquirer holds the doctriue
that acts of the Secretaries are acts ot the Presi
dent) "judge the Administration by the mes
saee," wait until you see the message, then you
will have the clear doctrine." A plague on the
doctrines of the message. Who cares a rush for
the protestations and promises of a messase. He
is simply a dupe who is gulled by such chaff. The
acts and not the professions of the Administration
are the true tests by which to judge it. Words cost
nothing. Talleyrand said they were invented to
conceal thoughts.
The JUtig ia another article compliments the of
ficers of the Central Railroad for their efforts in
pushing forward this great work.
The Mail looks forward to "Organizing for 1856,"
and says the National Democrats of New York
hare by this time become convinced of their strength
and that they are not to receive any special favor
at the hands of the Administration. Then, after
stating that the Nationals have out forth an ad
dress calling on the "young meu" of the country
to organize for the next contest, it concludes that
there is not much chance of a renominatiou of the
present occupant of the Presidential mansion.
King and Queen in the Field.—The people
ef King and Queen county have held a meeting for
the purpose of advancing the interests of the York
River Railroad. Resolutions were adopted strong
ly approving the scheme, and inviting the coun
ties bordering on York river and its tributaries,
and the city of Richmond, to send delegates to the
Convention at King and Queen Court House on the
15th of December. The following gentlemen were
appointed to represent King and Queen in the Cfln
vention.

The ball is now fairly started, and we hopfe the
people of Richmond will do all iu their power to
keep it moving. *
Outrageous Swindle. —A man calling KJmsplf
Win. Ely was arrested in New York on t-a.arday
last, for swindling several firms out of considerable
amounts of money by consigning to them horse
heads and refuse beef packed in barrels
beef, and receiving of them advances on the lame
In New York, on Sunday night last, a young man
was set upon in Cherry atreet, knocked down, dan
gerously stabbed, and robbed, by a gang ot three
ruffians, who easily made off Before the arrival of
the police.
On Thursday last, William Z. Carter, aged ten
years, son of Capt. H. N. Carter, of Crow Hill,
Laurens District, S.C., was killed by the accidental
discharge of a gun in the hands of hi* uncle, John
Ligon.
The residence of Rev. W. O. Arnold, in Wilkes

LOCAL MATTERS.
Theatre.—On Tuesday night «u played,
for the fir*t time, we believe, in tbta city, the "Wil
low Copse,]' a domestic drama of much power, and of
*urpM*mg interest. The cast was the beat we hare
•een In the Marshall for a long time, every actor, with
•careely all exception, being perfect in hi* part, and
givina it 'he- expresnon to which it was entitled, and
which, doubtless, the author intended it to h*ve,->-
The same may be said of the female part of the corn
piny, each lady sustaining her part well, and one at
tear, admirably. As the play is new to most of oar
readers, we will endeavor to give such an outline of
the story a* may render it intelligible to such of them
a* have not read it.
Sir H iHiam Vaughan. a gentleman of large posses
*lons, became so offended with his *on Richard, (the
Sir Richard of the play,) on aceottnt of hi* excesses,
that a short tuue before his death, he wrote him a
letter-he being absent on the continent, full of re
proaches, and in that letter threatened to cut him off
<Hth a shilling Upon his return home. Sir Richard,
(Bonitace) finds his father dead, and takes immediate
possession. Fearful that there may be a will in ex
istence, be burns every paper in hi* lathed* library.
A w;ll had actually been made, giving the whole pro
perty to Luke Fielding (Couldock.) ao olid and faith
fu. tenant, hut of the existence of this will Sir Rich
ard is not aware, and it is kuown only to one Dick
Hulks (Gile.) a desperado, whose vice 3 have reduced
hiui to rags. In the meantime Sir Richard become*
attached to Rose Fielding (Mr*. Ward.) and i* in turn
greatly beloved by her. The consequences were »uch
as might have been expected; the girl was ens
honored, and both were miserable. It was his inten
tion. however, to have made reparation by marriage ;
but in the meantime, Dick Hulk*, who is aware that
Rose will be an heiress, and besides has been long in
love with her, interfere* to prevent it. He di*clo*es
the fact of the existence of the will to Sir Richazd,
and hints that he knows of certain things that may
bring him to the gallows. The only condition upon
which he will agree to keep his knowledge to him
self is, that Sir Richard shall renounce Ro»e, and fur
nish him with money to procure him the mesa* of
cutting a better figure. To thi*, after a severe strug
gle, he con«ents. Upon breaking the mbject to the
lady, she is in despair. She resolves to drown her
sell in the brook by the Willow Copse, but first writes
a letter to her father, who ha* gone to visit his old
friend Col. Vanguard (Griffiths,) iu which *he con
fesses her shame, and reveals the determination to
which she ha* come. Luke Fielding not being able
to read, hands the letter to Lucy Vanguard (Miss B.
LewisJ an intimate friend of Rose, who tells Luke
Fieldiug, that his daughter is iu distres* on account of
the illness of a relation, and flies at once to the Wil
low Copse, arriving just in time to prevent Ro*e
from taking the fatal plunge. In the meantime Sir
Richard comes to take a last look at the Willow
Copse, where he had *8 often met Rose in happier
dajv preparatory to leaving the country torever.—
Lucy upbraid* him with his cruelty to her friend, and
the result is, that he resolves to marry her, let the
consequence* be what they may, and te emigrate to
California. Rose retires, having first placed in her
bo«om the letter which she had written to her father.
Lucv ,nd Sir Richard being left alone, are surprised
by Meg, whose suspicion* of an improper intimacy
are at once aroused. There is to be a ball at the
Manor House that evening, and thither he exhort*
Lucy. Iu the Hulks, and his associate.
Bill Stagger* (Siple) have resolved to break into the
Manor House, and steal the will of old Sir William,
which Hulks knows i* deposited in a certain spot.—
For this purpose, they engage in the plot, a young
man named Augustus (Ryan,) who had been au ap
prentice, and having robbed his till, had runaway
They discover his guilt, and by mean* of it compel
him to join them. They first make him excessively
druuk, then put him over the wall, and make hita
open the gate, and after they are in, put him up into
a balcony, having first directed him where to find the
cabinet contain ng the paper*.
He succeeds in obtaining it, and a* they are rifling
the contents. Sir Richard, with Lucy on his arm,
conies up in the back-ground and discovers them.—
He first makes Lucy conceal herself in the coal
house, and then advances upon the ruffians. He has
a struggle with Hulks, but is unable to obtain the
will. In great alarm, Augustus tires o'f a pistol, the
ruffians flee, the house is raised, and Sir Richard
hides himself iu the coal-house, where Lucy already
is, but not before he has been seen by Sleg, who
calls attention to it. The house is searched, and the
twain are dragged forth. Lady Apsley, (Mrs. Chip
pendale,) immediately declares that all intercourse
must cease between her sou Arthur Apsley (Stearns)
and that young lady. That young gentleman, in
great distress, immediately waits on Col. Vanguard
and informs him that he cannot marry his daughter,
but refuses to assign any reason for breaking off the
match. Meg, however, soon arrives, and relates the
whole affair. Tue Col. is ferocious against Sir Rich
ard, who, he thinks, has dishonored his child. In
the meantime, young Apsley has an interview with
Rose, who reveals the whole matter to him, declar
ing that she, and she alone, was to blame. This re
conciles the young man and his mother, but the old
Cul. cau only be satisfied by reading the letter which
Rose had written to her father. Till* rouses the sus
picions of Luke Fielding, who is present, and who,
matching the letter ftom the hands of the Colonel,
forces his daughter to read it. The consequences are
terrible. In a private interview with his daughter,
he tells her the farm is hers, having been bought
with her mother's money, her the lease and
the money he has made on it, and force* her, in spile
ot her prayers, to take them. He then telle her that
he will not snfier her to bear his name—that she mu*t
bear that of the man who has betrayed her—and up
on her refusal to tell it, he endeavors first to strangle
her, and then to brain her with an axe Overcome,
however, by passion, he falls down in a fit, and Rose
also swoons away. While they are in that situation,
Sir Richard enters and bear* Rose off. In the mean
time, Luke Fielding becomes the inmate of a lunatic
esylum, iu which he is confined for four years. During
thi* time, his daughter, now became Lady Vaughan
by her marriage with Sir Richard, seek* for him eve
rywhere in vain. There are two other persons who
-seek for him likewise, but with very different inten
tions, viz: Hulks and Bill Staggers. He is at length
dismissed, as a harmless lunatic, and becomes a com
mon beggar, devoting the few pence which he re
ceives to drink. Hulks and Bill Staggers at length
find him in a low drinking-house, between lunacy
aiid drink, sitting in a state of stupefaction. They
also meet with their former comrade, Augustus, at
the same place, and resolve to employ bis services
again. They exhibit the will to Luke, who does not
exactly comprehend them, and Hulks not being able
to rouse him sufficiently, forges a power of attorney,
by which he obtains the complete management of
hisaflairs. He gives this paper to Staggers, and set*
off to the manor with the will, resolved to wreak his
revenge on Sir Richard and his wife. Before he ar
rives, Luke Fielding has already been there, to beg
alms, uot knowing that his daughter was there.—
The interview between them is intensely affect
ing. Luke becomes suddenly restored to his sen*e«,
and believing that the splendor around hi* daughter
i» the wages of her shame, insists upon leaving the
house. He is prevented by Rose and her husband,
who enter at the moment. In the inid»t ttf the scene,
Col. Vanguard and his daughter arrive*, and the Co
lonel immediately explains everything, telling Luke
that his daughter hes been for some years the wife
of Sir Rxhard Vaughan. This produce! great ji y
and a omplete reconciliation. Iu the meantime
after Hulks had left the drinking-house, Augustus di
n ands of Staggers the paper 'in his possession, teV
li g him he tcill hare it. The latter says he may have
il if he pan whip him. Upon this, they have a regu
lar set-to, and Augustus, succeeding in getting the pa
per, makes the best of hi* way to the manor, closely
followed by Stagger*. Before he arrive*, Hulk* has
already beeu there, aud exhibited the will. Augugtu*
shows the forged power of attorney, and explains
how it was managed. Staggers having arrived, sev<e
rel officers of the police, wno had been kept in rea
diness, enter, and hand-cuffing Hulkes and Stagger*,
lead them off to gaol, it appearing that they had beeu
guilty of many robberies, &c. The denouement leave*
all parties very happy.
Such is a very faint outline of the story upon which
has been constructed one of the moit attectiug and
effective melo-tiramas to which the languace can lay
claim. It i* due to the actor* that we should *ay
something of the manner iu which they acquitted
them*ei\es. Beginning with the ladie*, as is their
due, we come finrt to Mr* Ward, who played |he
part of Rose We could hardly convince ouwelves
that the ladv was really only acting a part. The rep
resentation "was so natural, *o much like real life, *0
entirely like what any woman of strong feelings
would nave done and iaid, if placed under similar
circumstances, that we found the utmost difficulty iu
realizing the exact truth. It was worthy of Fanny
Keable in her best days. Upon the Richmond stage,
at least, we never saw any female character *0 pow
erfully sustained.
Mis* E. Place sustained the character of Meg very
creditably.
Mi*« Lewi* i*a delightful young actre*«, and played
the part of the amiable, aud high-spirited Lucy Van
guard, with great animation. She lavery young and
very pretty. Of cour*e. even though *he had made
a failure, she would have been excused, when other*
who*e looks were not quite *o good, mizht have
been condemned. A* «be played her part well,
however, of coarse, the admirat'iou was the greater.
The stately and aristocratic Lady Apsley found an
excellent repre»entative In Mr*. Chippendale, whose
Juno-like figure seemed formed especially for such a
part.
Georgians, Mis* Apsley, ami Kinchin Fan were
well represented by Mis* E. Ince, Mis* Mason and
Mr*. Griffith*.
Now f or the gentlemen. The part of Luke Field-
seems peculiarly adapted to Mr. Ctmldock—bis
principal excellencies we lake to be, a clear concep
tion of the author** meaning, and immense energy
and power in giving effect to it SuMained a* he wa*

great fears far poor Smith. We fear he will die with
a joke in his month, which would not exactly be the
thing in a Christian land.
Mr. Snyder played Kungerawell. but ifie part was
not so prominent as to call far particular notice.
Ryan (that broth of a boy) "did up Augustus
brown." He frequently brought down the whole
house by hi* unaccountable drollery. If oar fears
are great for Smith, they are not lass fa for Ryan,
and for the same reanon. The good-natured, well
meaning, half-rascal, half-wag Augustus, now a.va
grant, and then a 11 cell, could not have been more
happily portrayed
The gigaatic Bill Staggera, who, according to his
own account, weighed 17 stone 6, (that is to say, 214
pounds,) found an admirable represeatatfon in Mr.
Siple. The very sight of him made the audience
burst into a roar ot laughter. We do not think we
ever saw Mr. S. before, though we know him well by
reputation. He ia a trump, and no mistake.
We beg Mr. Oile'a pardon, for he if a most estima
ble gentleman; but he did piay the rjscal rather too
mucn. People who do not know him aa well as we
do, might be apt to suspect thet he got bis learning
where he had no business being. He played tbe
character of Hulks so naturally, tbat we are "not cer
tain, if we had been near enough to tbe stage, that
we should not at one time have jumped on it, collar
ed him, and called for the police.
The characters of Lynn, George and Joe Were
pl»jed very creditably by Messrs. Blake, Johnston
and Chippendale.
This play was better supported than any we have
seen for yearaat the Marshall. We would not deal
in unnecessary panegryic, for we regard indiscrimi
nate praise as injurious to both actor and writer. But
we could find no fault with the representations ef
Tuesday night. Mr. Couldock, we are sure, has no
reason to complain of not being properly supported,
and we hope he will alter his resolution, and stay
here long enough to give us another look at the
" Willow Copse."
Dr. Batliss is still in tbe field—still the
fterling and stirring champion of phrenology. He
does not fold his arms in inglorious repose, while
there is any thing to be done for the great cause which
is the absorbing one ef his mind and energies.—
Phrenology, the Doctor knows, is the great indicator
of human character—pointing out its evil and its good
tendencies—those teaching men
* * * "More than hell to shun;
These mote than Heaven pursue."
This makes him a zealot—if he has not a head to
survey in his room, to dash out into the street and
seek for a fellow being who wants the light, he can
give him to avoid the shoals and quicksands which
beset his path.
The Doctor is still at the City Hotel. He will stjnd
bv his cause as long as there is a man left to work for.
We hope he will be induced to give a lecture before
he leaves the city.
The IJoakd of Directors of the James

board of Public Works.
Catching a Thief.—leeterdav morning
the denizens of the Valley, in the rear "of the Lat£
casterian School, were aroused by the tiring of a gun,
and the screams of " stop thief," not a few of whom
turned out and joined the chase. The fellow whom
they were pursuing proved to be Temple, a notorious
rogue, the property of Mrs. Elizabeth Anderson,
who, when started, took to Shockoe Creek, and kept
it, passing under the arches until he reached 17th
street, when he Bed to, his den, where he was cap
tured and caged. He was brought before the Mayor,
and soundly punished for trespassiag where he had
no right.
Captured.—Henry, slave to Mrs. Talia
ferro, and employed at the Powhatan House, wu dis
covered on board the City of Richmond last Tuesday,
by Capt. Mitchell, where he bad secreted himself in
order to make his escape, and handed over to Captain
Wilkerson, who deposited him in Talt's jail. The
brother of this fellow ran off about two weeks ago,
and has aot been heard of since.
Vessel Abandoned.—The tow-boat Ben
Sheppard, on her upwapd trip yesterday morning,
fell in with the sloop William McLaughlin, which
had been abandoned. She was taken in tow and
brought up to Rocketts, where she now lies. This
looks a little mysterious, as we have no recollection of
any such vessel sailing from our port. When first
seen from the Ben. Sheppard, she was drifting about
the river, with sails set, and would soon have gone
ashore.
Steamship Roanoke.—lt will be observed
by the advertisement of Messrs. Ludlam it Watson,
that this steamer will be withdrawn from the line af
ter this trip for a few weeks, in order to give her a
new dress. Her consort, the Jamestown, will con
tinue to make her regular trips.
Keep the Sabbath.—Elizabeth Dear
ing, charged with selling groceries on Sunday last,
was partially examined yesterday morning, but ow
ing to the absence of witnesses, the case was not con
cluded. It will come up to-day.
Rolling a Wheelbarrow.—Henry, a
servant at the Mail office, was before the Mayor for
rolling a wheelbarrow on the side-walk last W ednol
day night Having a good excuse for so doing, he was
admonished and discharged.
Stealing Shoes, —Wm. Anderson, hired
to Pemberton Si Brother, was convicted of stealing
two pair of shoes from hia employers, and Hogged.
Released. —Jameß Miles, slave to S. S.
Myers, ehargcd with robbing Mr. Brown's till of rac
ney, was examined and released, there being no evi
dence against him.
Locked Up.—George Woody, convicted
of noisy and disorderly conduct on Second street last
Saturday, was committed to prison yesterday for
want of bail for his good behaviour.
Released.—Ann slave to Mr. N. Ma
t'.iews, charged with going at large, was released
from custody, the evidence satisfying the Court that
she was in the service of Mr. R. Lumpkin.
Flogged.—Mary Jane Weaver and Amy
Wilson, two negroes, were before the Mayor for
quarrelling and hghting is Theatre Alley. Mary was
ordered a Bogging, but the old woman was release! l .
Fined.—J. Darracott was fiued for ot
structiug the side-walk with coal.
CojfTiKt'ED.—Wm. Dodd, charged with
leaving hie cart in the street all night, wu uut impos
ed of yesterday.
