It would be easy to pretend, as some advertisers do, to sell Teas, at lower prices than charged by the Company, but the very fact that the duty alone amounts to 2s. 2dl per lb. must convince all thinking persons, that much which is offered to the public under the name of Tea, can be no other than a spurious article, andit would be easy to prove that such trash is as injurious to health, as the genuine leaf is wholesome and exhilarating. The Company would particularly recommend their BLACK. Strong and rich flavored wiry leaf Congou at 5s. per lb. being all that for ordinary occasions can be desired. Their Imperial Pekin Mixture at 6s. per lb. is a combination of the rarest and most exquisite Black Teas exported from China, and is peculiarly adapted to the taste of Connoisseurs.

They strengthen the tone of the digestive organs, promote a healthy action of the liver, and remove those obstructions of the bowels which so frequently produce HEADACHES, DIMNESS OF SIGHT, HEARTBURN, FLATULENCY, WORMS, PILES, and a numerovs train of other disorders.

EDWARD PRICE AND COMPANY, PATENTEES AND SOLE MANUFACTURERS OF THE COMPOSITE CANDLES, RESPECTFULLY call the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of these is some- what higher than that of ordinary mould candles, they are in reality much cheap( r than these latter: one real Composite Candle giving the same quantity of light as two of the moulds. They require no snuffing, and burn more brilliantly than the best wax. The purposes of economy and luxury are therefore both served at the same time by the use of these candles. Parties intend- ing to try them for the first time are earnestly re- quested to take care that they are served in the shops with "PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:" the reason for this caution is given elsewhere.

I RELIGIOUS AND CLERICAL TOPICS. PUSEYISI.-Two remarkable and very significant articles have recently appeared in the Times. As a sample of the sack we subjoin the following extracts There was a time when Church Reform' was the great popular cry. Pamphlets and moral indignation, theories and revilings-paper constitutions and clamours for practical efficiency-confiscation of temporals, and neglect in spirituals—speculative novelties and dead truths-the poor to the workhouse, and the Church "to the block—such was the storm and din that stunned and overwhelmed the country in and about the year 1834. Part of the outcry, no doubt, was sincere and well-intended part was sheer malevolence, part was the systematic and gratuitous evil principle of the day but part was to a certain extent founded on fact. By whatever motive prompted, good or bad, part of the clamour, we say it advisedly, was to some extent founded on fact. There was deadness in the Church. There was neglect of the poor. There was luxury. There was abuse. There was idleness, lukewarmers, sloth Duties were unperformed-sinecures were sought and perpetuated-the cause of the poor abandoned-the doctrines of the Church receded from-the truth but feebly and timorously defended. There were of course exceptions but there was doubtless much to complain of. Everything that was good seemed in danger, the best men seemed afraid. Two parties were prominent and observable-the one that of the Radical revolu- tionists, the zealous advocates of total change and destruction: the other that of the mere and simple Conservatives—men who would have acknowledged and rectified, indeed, admitted abuses, but who hardly dared hope that they could do more than keep things only as they were, and knew not how to succeed even in this. Against the last, and in favour of the first, of these parties, was urged the, to a certain extent, undeniable apathy and inefficiency of the Church, which we have above noticed. Such was the state of things in 1834. What is the case now ? People seem to fear that the Church is only too much awake and alive. What is the position of the two parties which we have just indicated ? They are now united. They have discovered a common foe. They have evoked a spirit of which they little dreamed. They thought to have rifled an inanimate corse, when lo to their utter astonishment, there is life and power. The mass moveth. We hardly know which party seems the more scared at the marvellous effect of its own spell. We are taking of course the popular view of the matter. We judge only by what comes to our know- ledge as journalists. We see the change that has been effected, and we see who it is that are combined to op- pose it. We profess not to meddle with points of doctrinal controversy. We have no sympathy indeed with, and we conceive that we should only go along with the common good sense and plain matter-of-fact feeling of the country in denouncing, o any religious movement or feeling whatever which, however exem- plary and efficient in other respects, bore the slightest appearance of tending towards a revival among us of the corrupt practices and hideous perversions of the Church of Rome we should conceive ourselves bound to oppose such a movement, if any such existed, be every means in our power but it is because we do not think, as we shall shortly show, that there is any such danger now to be apprehended, that we conceive ourselves at liberty on this, as well as on all other occasions, to ad- here to our rule of avoiding points of pure religious controversy, and to view the present movement ex- clusively in its external and political aspect, as it bears upon the efficiency of the Church. It has been proved now by actual fact, what was and what is the meaning of the party that once clamoured so loudly for amendment, and zeal and liberty; and who now so fiercely denounce improvement, and so hotly practice persecution. This alone is much. It shows that real amendment was just precisely the thing which these fierce opponents of everything right did -not want-the very reform" which these precious Re- formers" did most of all abominate. We, for our part, see in this overbearing clamour-being such as we have described it-nothing but the best possible reason for upholding those against whom it is directed. We are convinced that the truest interests of the Church and the poor, and therefore of the country at large, are bound up in this cause. But it is objected, as we have said, that there are doctrinal questions concerned, and those of so palpable a nature that it is impossible altogether to overlook them. "Puseyism," people say, is only Popery in dis- guise, or at best only a specious exaltation of the clergy in the surrender by the people of all opinion on religious matters whatever. Now, if this were the fact, there would of course be an end of the question. But we deny the fact. We have, indeed, no other reason for believing it, nor we suppose has any one else any other reason for believing it, than is to be found in the distorted ravings of two of our contemporaries. We believe, in short, that the whole clamour is about a mere bugbear; that the cry is principally raised by that very party, the Radical and Revolutionary party, which itself stands thereby condemned in the face of the world of seeking to crush the very things which, when such things were unattainable, it hypocritically pretended to pursue and that the cry is seconded and assisted by men who, by their negligence and sloth, first created the danger, who then shrank back at the hour of need, and who now look at the zeal and energy and life which alone saved them, as simply and merely what it is—namely, their own greatest condemnation. How can the public have any sympathy with such a combination as this ? Will it suffer that any cause of promise shall be overborne by it ? The movement to which we adverted yesterday, and which we then regarded in its bearing upon the Church, and generally upon the community, at home, assumes, perhaps, a still more important aspect when viewed in its effect upon our relations with the Churches abroad. It is no piece of mere idle declamation, but a simple statement of fact, to say that the principles upon which that movement has proceeded, and which it has not introduced, but illustrated, are the sole and only ones which at all profess to give the Church of this country any tangible or intelligible position, or even existence, in the ONE great ecclesiastical community of Christen- dom. We are not about to enter into the abstract merits of those principles. We do not profess, as we said yesterday, to discuss matters of pure theological controversy. We now state simply a matter of fact. We say, that be these principles whatever they are, right or wrong, they do at any rate profess, what those of no other school, so far as we know, at all lay claim to—viz., to give to the Church of England a place and if a place at all, we say, then necessarily a pre-eminent place, among the Churches of the Christian nations. Rightly or wrongly, they assert that the English Church, and that large body of Christians in communion with her—the Churches, namely, of kindred form and origin, in Ireland and in Scotland, and in the United States of America, and in the Canadas and in Brunswick, in the East Indies and in the West, and in Australia and in Zealand, and, in short, wherever the English tongue is known—are, whatever may be the true test or theory of Christian membership, genuine and indisputable members-one great third, in short, of the Christian Church. Rightly or wrongly, they assert—and that without prejudice to Christian charity-that this great body of the'Church is apostolic in foundation, apostolic in usages, apostolij in doctrine. Rightly or wrongly, they assert that this great and important portion of Christendom stands, not on any exclusive or self-limited basis of its own, the assumed truth of which should cut down every one else, but on an equal footing-the great footing of Catholicity and apostolic ordination-with the other Churches of the universal faith. So far as we are aware, no other school in our Church at all re- gards, or wishes to regard, her in the same light. So far as we are aware, these same principles, and none other, are the very ones upon which, be they right or wrong, our Church has all along rested her claims to a fellowship with, and position in, Christendom. So far as we are aware, every other school but this has been as intolerant of the claims of other Churches as it has been liberal with those of its own, and has condemned everlastingly all but those who happened to coincide in its own narrow and unabiding speculations. Now, we do not at present intend to argue, much less to assume, the truth of these principles. We merely state them now to point to their legitimate results. We say—sec in what position they place the Church. They vindicate to her at once her high rank and destiny among the Churches of Christendom. If these princi- ples are true, then we ought to be at once, and without more, set at rest from all controversy upon the founda- tion of our own position with members of the Romish, or of the Greek, or of any other Church and there then remains in the controversy, to cause any doubt or difficulty, only points of comparative doctrine or prac- tice. But if these principles, on the other hand, or the fact which supports them, are not true, then must we it) ik also to some other point of defence in our contro- versy with other Churches—to our greater soundness, if so be, of doctrine, or to our greater purity of practice. Now, it is here that we would come to the point. It is objected to the principles and school which we are speaking of-thit defections do take place, and are con- stantly taking place, from the ranks of that school to the communion of Rome. We say boldly, and without any fear of being here- after belied by facts—we say boldly, that the persons ho do so fall away, do totally subvert and misunder- stand the very principles upon which they have pro- fessed to stand. Mr. Tickell, a gentleman of some promise and distinction we believe, not however a clergyman, but one who has given out, or has been supposed to give out, that he zealously supported or even exaggerated those peculiar views which consist in exalting the importance of that apostolic ordination which no one has ever disproved or denied to the English Church,—this gentleman has now gone over to Rome, and has also (luckily) published his reasons for so doing in a letter to ourselves. We say deli- berately that those reasons, like those of Mr. Sibthorp and the rest, so far from legitimately proving Roman- istic tendencies imputable to the school of which those gentlemen were once professed members, do directly prove the contrary. The truth is, that if Mr. Tickell and other gentlemen of his school kept in mind the importance of that apos- tolic institution which they profess so much to value, they would then see that comparisons of points of ex- ternal practice and the like, however they might decide them, as no doubt they would, though most unreason- ably, against their own church, were not anything to the purpose, so long as their own church were con- fessedly a true and apostolic one. But they do not estimate this fact according to the value which by their own principles they should set upon it. They deny their own doctrines. Hence their lapse. Hence, and hence alone, their blindness, their positive blindness to the superinduced errors and monstrous corruptions of Romanism. The following verses, written by a Forest Sunday School teacher, were printed for distribution at the con- secration of the Forest District Church, Bewdley Forest, consecrated Oct. 31st, 1844, by the Lord Bishop of Hereford:— Lo, we heard it we found it in the fields of the wood." Psalm cxxxii, 6. Heard ye the voice, the cry which spoke In yonder forest-wild no more,— And which the long sad silence broke, Which that dark spot had brooded o'er ? It was the cry of earnest preacher* Proclaiming there the gospel truth The still small ;Toice of humbler teacher, Instructing Wyre's neglected youth We, wondering, heard ihe faint report Come echoing thence, from time to time;- As we have heard in pleasing sort, The plaintive tones of distant chime. We came, and found amid the fields, Which spread where erst the forest stood, The work begun, whic,) kindly yields Increasing fruits, divinely good. We found the sabbath school, in which The oileles of God are taught; And minds, once dark, with knowledge rich, Deriv'd from Holy Scripture, fraught. And now we come the gracious cause To further, and perpetuate With hearts which love together draws, And hopes of greater good elate. We rear this temple of His grace To God, the Father, Spirit, Son; Who join'd in love to save our race,— The Great, the Glorious, Three in One. Jehovah, Triune God, do Thou Succeed the labours of our hands; Thy pow'i to make obedient show, When here shall sound thy blest commands. Here may the Gospel of Thy love, He heard, with penitence and tears, And souls be born for worlds above, While earth shall count her fleeting years. About f, rtN, years ago, the llev. J, Cawood, M. A., then Curate of Kibbesford, commenced a Cottage Lecture in Bewdley Forest, and soon afterwards he established the Bewdley Forest, Church of England Sunday School which has beou continued, to the present time, under his fostering care. MISSIONARYISM.—The latest papers from the Cape of Good Hope announce the arrival of a Missionary bark-not "rigged with curses dark," like that in Milton's Lycidas, but "built and equipped by penny subscriptions from English children, who in Sunday and similar schools have learned" precociously the art of tax-gathering-of saying stand to a true man." Al- ready men have enough and to spare of these cormo- rants. The regular tax-gatherer calls quarterly, but one or other of these guerillas drops in every day of the year. The sum of their combined exactions, if fairly added up, would be found at the year's end to exceed that of the Qupen's taxes. The character of collector for society is indelible, like that of the priesthood in the Catholic Church once a man becomes a levier of charitable contributions, the habit is never laid aside. It is awful to look forward to the state of society, when this horde of imps, who have extorted in single pence from their friends a sum large enough to build and equip a bark, shall be let loose to prey upon the public.— Spectator. THE NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC UNIVERSITy.-Really it will be quite unnecessary for Sir Robert Peel to es- tablish a Lay Roman Catholic University as he pro- mised at the close of the session. Is there not Oxford ? What more can the Catholics want ? A Maynooth, im- prove it as you may, will only give education to youths already Roman Catholic but Oxford has this immense Popish superiority, that it turns Protestants into Catho- lics. Mr. Newman has fairly embraced Popery, notwith- standing pious Mr. Gladstone's exhortation to him and others of the same opinions, to keep his faith in another, which he pleasantly called mortifying and crossing the tastes and affections," the word crossing here being evidently used in the slang sense of the turf for a juggle or fraud. But 1\1r. Newman not having been equal to this ascetic exercise, and not being able comfortably to ride two churches at once with a foot now on the one now on the other, and having made his election of Rome, the question is whether more than half Oxford must not follow their leader. Is it to be Popery open and honest, or Popery in disguise, crossing and mortifying, as Mr. G. recommends ? In either case, we repeat, that in Oxford is presented the Roman Catholic University, which Sir Robert Peel has acknowledged the want of, for it either turns Protestants into such frank Roman Catholics as Mr. Newman, or into such rank Jesuits as Mr. Gladstone's school. Nay, more, it will have its Trappists mortifying and crossing the tastes' by eating the fat of one church with the lean of another, men practising the terrible self-denial of not quarrelling with their bread and butter, and adhering to the preferments of the Church of England while yearning to the faith of Rome. These will be the Gladstone's martyrs scourging themselves with the emoluments of a church which in their hearts they abjure. How curiously in all Mr. Gladstone's lessons, moral and religious, we find the well-poisoning expedient in some form or other. His resource for defence is always the same, drugging the well-springs. He would treat the minds of Puseyites as the Chinese springs, and poison their sincerity for the protection of their pelf. Between heresy open and disguised, Oxford, it must be confessed, is in a hopeful way. Cyril Jackson used to say of Christ Church, that it must be the greatest depository of learning in the world, for every one brought a little learning to it and no one took any away. And so Oxford should now be the most Protestant University in the world by the same rule. The Rev. William Goodenough Penny has amazed his friends by not playing the hypocrite for the retention of his preferment. If he had been a bad Penny he would have stuck to his living, nailed to the counter of Mammon but being, as his name denotes, a Goodenough Penny, he passed to the Pope. He would be a counterfeit Penny, and one of his admirers writes to the Standard :—" I can never sufficiently admire and praise the disinterested and honourable feeling which induced him to lay aside, as nothing worth, all his prospects of worldly advancement (and they, from his talents and high character, were bright), when he thought they clashed with his duty to God." And this bright Penny is lost to the Church To what is our Church reduced, when it cannot keep a Penny. Ominous is the loss. The thrifty old saying instructs us to take care of the pennies, and the pounds will take care of themselves, and the security for the pounds is now gone. The Archbishop of Canterbury is wringing his hands, rending his garments, scattering ashes on his head, and lamenting aloud in his palace that there is not a Penny left in the Church. The phrase bespeaks ruin. And the pretty penny it has lost is gone to join Peter's pence! What an age of innovation is this when the penny will not rest content without change. There was the time when, seeing that this was essen- tially a penny age, with its penny magazines and what not, we sighed for a penny King and a penny Church, but little did we imagine that the first penny priest would be a Papist. W hat a pennyworth for Rome Oh, Dr. Pusey, what have you cost us !—Examiner. MR. NEWMAN.—By the last reports from Littlemore, Mr. Newman has simply unchurched himself. Whiles he may yet fluctuate between the negitive and positive poles of Theosophism, until a Rosicrucian gleam en- lighten his explorings, the following passage from Williams' Dictionary of all Religions might suggest a covert from the Stylitical prominence of his position but, if he remain alone, let him speak, though, as was said of Athanasius, against all the world This denomination, strange as it appears to us, has made converts. Those who embrace the tenets of Baron Swedenborg are numerous in England, Germany, Sweden, Russia, France, three of which are in London, in which is used a Liturgy formed on the model of that of the Church of England but many of this deno- mination adhere strictly to the Establishment, without forming any separate communion; and, most strange of all, some clergymen subscribe both to their doctrine* and to those of the Establishment. In their own chapel, sumptuous robes arc worn resembling those of the Church of Rome."—P. 212 —Correspondent of the Globe. CONVERSIONS FROM ROMANISM TO PROTESTANTISM. —The commune of Villefavard, in the department of La Haute Vienne, contains a population of 600 souls. The whole of this population, with the priest of the parish, and the Mayor at its head, have just joined the Protestant Church. It appears that the Prefect of the department had some time ago opposed the establishment of Pro- testant worship at Ville-favard; but the Minister of Justice, in answer to the representations made to him on the subject, authorized the establishment of a Protestant cause in the commune; and on the 7th of July last, divine worship according to Protestant forms was solemnly begun in that place, in the presence of the municipal authorities.-Paris paper. A similar work begins to manifest itself in the environs of Matha, in the department of La Charte Inferieure. In 25 of the our- rounding parishes the people are earnestly inquiring for the "good old way" of salvation by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.— Wesley an Methodist Magazine. PLURALITIES.—A correspondent of the Times writes as follows Sir,—In your publication of the 16th ult., you bring before the public the shameful plurality of the Bishop of Gloucester, an ecclesiastical com- missioner To-day I notice the presentation of the Rev. G. Pretyman to the vicarage of Great Carlton, Lincolnshire, in the patronage of the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln. On turning to the Clergy List, 1 find only three of that name, and one whose initials would denote the individual already in possession of the following preferment: Chancellor of Lincoln, prebendary of Winchester, rector of Chalfont St. Giles's, Bucks; rector of Wheathampstead, Herts; and pespetual curate of Nettleham and add the vicarage of Great Carlton, and I think a very moderate anti-pluralist would cry out I Shame.' 'Are these things to be borne?' may be asked with great weight. This preferment will average £3,000 per annum. Another of the name it precentor of Lincoln, rector of Stony Middleton, Oxon; Walgrave, Northampton Wroughton, Wilts. These facts make the hearts of true Churchmen sad they give occasion for the enemies of our Church to point the fin- ger; they are totally subversive of the fundamental truths of Christianity, when preferment is thus glaringly bestowed upon the relatives or connexions of ecclesias- tical corporations when they are already amply and honourably provided for. Do call the attention of Churchmen to these things, that the Commissioners at least may turn some of the spare income of these gen- tlemen to build bishops' palaces, or other edifying pur- poses." The Ecclesiastical Commissioners of England have made an annual augmentation of 496 livings, to the ex- tent of £25,779. Of the livings, 261 have been raised to JE150, 96 to jE120, 80 to £100, and 59 f30 per annum.-The Rev. Robert Phelps, D. D., and Master of Sidney Sussex College, has been elected Vice- Chancellor of Cambridge for the ensuing The Archbishop of Canterbury has subscribed £100 in aid of the fund for the Baths and Washhouses. The Rev. Francis Close, of Cheltenham, announced that on the 5th of November he would preach a sermon against the Camden Society, in which he would prove that the restoration of churches is the restoration of Popery." On that day the church of St. Mary's, of which the rev. gentleman is incumbent, was crowded to overflowing and in the course of the sermon (upon the 18th chapter of the 2d book of Kings, verse 4) he ob- served, that the Camden Society had openly become the allies of the Puseyites and as there was tractarian- ism doctrinal at Oxford, there was also tractarianism artistic' at Cambridge-the one a written Romanism here, the other a sculptured one there. The Puseyites were introducing strange forms and ceremonies into the Church, and the Camden Society were building and re- modelling our churches for the express purpose of re- storing images, and preparing symbols of the tractarian party at Oxford-in other words, erecting temples of Puseyism throughout the land in order to promulgate the Oxford heresy. If the religion of the present day was pure and undefiled, it were worse than useless to. restore our churches fit only for the worship of the dark ages, happily passed away," &c.-The number of' Protestants at present in Bavaria is 1,226,753. In the last four years there has been an increase of 25,581; in that period 8,805 Protestants emigrated from the king-, dom, 281 turned Catholics, and 179 Catholics become. Protestants.

A FORTUNE BY HonsEs.-The following veracioo* and sensible paragraph is going the round" After a long and painful illness, Harmon Dyson died at the village of Watham Cross last week. He was one of the very few horse-dealers who have amassed large for- tunes, but the bulk of his property was acquired during the late war, by contracting to supply the cavalry with horses. His illness was occasioned by the following singular circumstance :-Dyson had been long person- ally known to George IV., and, though he supplied almost all the beautiful carriage-horses for the Royal Mews, yet they had been for a long period purchased by different persons of the King's establishment, so that Dyson never came in contact with His Majesty, until accidentally he himself one day went down to the Royal Lodge with two riding horses to show the King, as likely to please His Majesty. Accordingly he was commanded to bring his horses in front of the Royal Lodge, where, to his great surprise, the King walked out, and before looking at the horses, His Majesty, in his usual familiar manner, accosted him as his old friend Dyson,' expressing the pleasure he had in again seeing him, and after some conversation about horses in olden times," and making some remark upon Dyson's horses, His Majesty said he would take both of them, and ordered the page to see that every atten- tion was paid and refreshments given to Mr. Dyson. Dyson was so extremely agitated by this interview, and so completely overwhelmed by his visit to the Royal Lodge, and by the kindness and consideration of the King, that on his return home his whole nervous system appeared to have received a shock, which in a few days terminated in a paralytic stroke, and from which he never afterwards perfectly recovered although, to the comfort and happiness of the neighbouring poor, he lived to the patriarchal age of 83." [Old Dyson's ruling passion was a love of money, not a veneration for royalty; and his "nervous system" would have received a much severer shock" by a bad debt than the familiarity of George the 4th. Besides, it is well known that the most perfect familiarity exists betwggi the West end horse-dealers: and the highest personages in the realm. A horse-dealer's nervous system so shook by being spoken to b) George the 4th as to caum his death! Absurd.] CATTLE DEALERS EXTRAORDINARY.—CAUTION TO FARMERS.—On Monday week, two men named Ben- jamin Lowe and Richard Gardner, were charged before the Rev. John Pearson, at the Public Office, in Palace- row, with having unlawfully obtained six heifers and a calf from Mr. Thomas Chambers, of the Berrow, near Upton, on or about the 20th ult. Lowe's occupation did not appear, but he seemed to be the chum of Gardner, who was formerly a butcher in Sidbury. It appeared from Mr. Chambers's statement that the prisoners came to his house in company with a Mr. Cowles, farmer, of the Rhydd, and bargained for the cattle. Mr. Chambers knowing nothing of them, was satisfied with Mr. Cowles' statement that it was all right," and accordingly sold them the animals. They paid JE9 9s. down in cash, and handed over a bill for the balance, payable at Messrs. Spooner's bank in Bir- mingham. The bill was not paid, the parties having no effects in the bank; and Mr. Chambers discovered that the prisoners had, the very day after getting them, sold the cattle for £ 14 less than they agreed to pay him. This Cowles was a person who had been duped by Lowe and Gardner, and who, on the understanding that he was to get back part of his own loss if he assisted them in robbing somebody else, recommended them to Mr. Chambers. When the two fellows got the cows, how- ever, they refused to share any part of the produce with Cowles, and he was thus left to the comforting reflection that he had assisted in defrauding his neighbour, and had no way profited himself. The Magistrates were of opinion that, however plain the intention of the prisoners was, the transaction did not come within the meaning of the Act, and therefore dismissed the case.- IForcestershire Chronicle. The West India mail-steamer brings papers from Jamaica to the 9th October, and from other colonies of corresponding dates. The general election in Jamaica had passed off very quietly, and the islanders looked for economy and activity in the new Legislature. The papers speak of very good seasons but a fierce gale had raged for two days at Montego Bay, doing some inj ury to the shipping. At St. Lucia a disastrous flood had "almost entirely destroyed" some sugar-plantations; and there had been two shocks of earthquake. There had been a terrible hurricane in Cuba. On the 2d October, there was a violent storm; but it did not inflict much injury. On the 4th, the hurricane came on, with wind and rain and lightning; growing more violent as night closed in. Havannah was so much damaged that scarcely a building escaped injury when morning broke, the city looked like one that had "been bombarded and sacked. The loss of life is gin ssed at seventy or eighty in number; which is less than was feared. A subscription for poor suilercrs was opened, and in four days it amounted to 20,000 dollars. It was observed that the rain, perhaps mixed with sen-spray, tasted brackish, for a distance of four miles inland and that it turned the leaves of the trees to a brown colour.
