R. J. DICK ON THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

England has done the deed,—the mystic thread
Lies sound and safe upon its shingly bed;
Hail, noble science! that the world can span,
And freight the lightning with the thoughts of man;
Tho’ difficult her path beneath the deep,
Where wrecks and relics of past ages sleep;
Tho’ Neptune snapped her first heart-treasured chain,
And flung it from her in his high disdain.
She laid another—grappled in the brine,
Found her lost treasure, and secured her line;
When GUTTA PERCHA SOLES were first invented,
How many sceptics were there, now relented?
What obstacles abound with new ideas—
What rainbows shine amid our hopes and fears;
But DICK’S is now a well established plan.
Own’d and accepted as the boon of man;
And like the telegraph in its impervious dress,
’Twas GUTTA PERCHA sealed the great success.

OBSERVE—DICK’S GUTTA PERCHA BOTTOMED BOOTS have all
Stout Leather Insoles, they can be worn in all weathers, and every pair
warranted. Sold at

CAUTION.

If you have had the misfortune to loose a Tooth, or several Teeth, and wish to replace them economically, do not be led away by the false prices, and specious advertisements which are daily to be met with, in almost every newspaper, or other advertising medium. Recollect! that a very great deal of difference exists between “cheapness” and “lowness of price.” “Artificial Teeth,” like various other things, may be obtained low in price, and yet be by no means cheap to the wearer, because, in nine cases out of every ten, they are generally badly constructed, and, if this is the case, “Artificial Teeth” on such a principle, must necessarily become EXPENSIVE articles however LOW the price of the same may be.

Messrs. LEE, the old established Dentists, of Bayswater and Notting Hill, are led to make these remarks from the fact that rarely does a week pass, but they are consulted by patients who have in this manner (through some specious advertisement) not only paid a considerable price for a worthless piece of mechanism, but one mouth itself has been seriously and sometimes irremediably injured, by the imperfect adjustment and deleterious compositions that have been used.

All this might have been avoided if a respectable Dentist had been consulted in the first instance, and, possibly, half the expense saved by the patient.

Messrs. LEE, in offering the benefit of their experience in all cases of Dental defect or deficiency, do so without apology, because it is with satisfaction to themselves that they, with certainty, can allude to the happy results attendant on their own exclusive system of Dentistry. Their long practical experience, in a large and daily increasing practice, enables them with confidence to guarantee to all who may consult them “A THOROUGH RESTORATION OF THE LOST TEETH, by replacing new ones fully equal (in all respects) and frequently FAR SUPERIOR, in durability and beauty, than the originals.”

Messrs. LEE wish it to be thoroughly understood that there are so many adventitious circumstances always affecting the cost of properly constructed “Artificial Teeth,” that it becomes a matter of impossibility to make any particular rule subservient to every case, but they trust that the following scale of charges will enable any one wishing to consult them to form a general idea of the cost where no complication is present.

Single Teeth 5/-, 7/6, 10/6, 15/-, and 21/- each.
Partial Pieces 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 10 Guineas.
Sets of Teeth 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, and 20 Guineas.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The latest returns of Government Duty show the ROYAL, on the authority of Parliamentary Documents, to be at the head of all the Insurance Offices as regards increase of business.

The Receipt of Fire Premiums has progressed as follows:

1857 £175,049 1861 £292,402
1859 228,314 1863 341,668

While for 1865 they amounted to £414,733.

The ROYAL Insurance Company has invariably been distinguished for its promptitude and liberality in the settlement of Claims.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.

The rapid progress and the position of this Branch will be best shown by the
following Statement of the New Life Business effected for the years

While for 1865 the amount was £888,683.

The most important Element of the high prosperity of the Life Branch has been the exceedingly small amount of the General Expenditure charged against it, arising from the fact that the Fire Branch (while otherwise distinct) has, from its extraordinary magnitude, borne by far the largest proportion of the indispensable charges, such as those for Offices, Directors, Management, staff of Clerks, &c., leaving the Life Branch comparatively unweighted by expense.
