On Monday a dental hospital for the poor was opened

at 149, Great Portland-street. But one such institution as yet exists in London, and nothing is more urgently wanted. At present the only resources of this kind ter the poor are the dispensaries, where, if driven to madness, they may have their " teeth carefully extracted, " said their jaws, of course, rapidly emptied. By the exertion of Mr. Robinson and many other eminent dentists, this evil is partially remedied. The new institution is, however, in want of funds, which Messrs. iloares, of 37, Fleet-street, are empowered to receive. Those who have experienced the pain which makes the heart even weakly thankful for a dentist's cruel mercies, will not hear this in vain.
