Ji MONO k- of THE BRITISH HONG-KONG TEA COMPANY, Faithful to their professed principle of supplying the public with none but genuine Teas of superior character, have to congratulate themselves on the liberal patronage they have hitherto received. 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. 2dt 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 Sa. 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. The following can be confidently recommended- Genuine Breakfast Congou 4s. Od. Strong full-flavoured ditto 4s. 6d. GREEN. Bright leaf, Hyson kind, fresh and strong 5s. Od. Fine Hyson, with choice flavour 6s. Od. Pearl leaf Gunpowder 7s. 6d. MIXED. Hong-Kong mixture 5s. 4d. By those who prefer mixed Teas, the Company feel con- fident that this will be pronounced unequalled, for strength and flavour, by any combination of Black and Green Teas that has yet been offered to the public at the price. The Company's Teas are sold in Catty Packages, in the pure state in which they are imported, in quarters, halves, and one pounds. Each package is sealed with the Company's Seal, and bears the signature of J. CASSELL, their London manager, without which none are genuine; Teas at 5s. per lb., and above, may be had in two ounce packets. COFFEES.—In consequence of the numerous applications which the Company have received from their Agents, requesting to be supplied with Coffee of superior quality, they have made arrangements, to supply the following descriptions, which will be found of singularly exquisite flavour, and will be packed in lead, in quarter, half-pound, and pound packets, and sealed to prevent the possibility of the aroma escaping Choice Mountain Jamaica Is. ad.

HENRY BARTON, of the Grange Farm, Rock Ferry, Cheshire. To Mr. F. Cupiss, Diss, SIR,—I considered it my duty to inform you for the S benefit of Graziers and Agriculturists generally, that have administered your Constitution Balls with the most beneficial effect, in the epidemic that is so very prevalent and fatal amongst Cattle in this and the adjoining Counties, and for which there appeared no remedy, in several instances cattle have been slaughtered to prevent the disease extending itself. After losing three of our best Cows, I determined to make trial of your Balls, and perceiving the complaint had attacked a young Bull, 18 months old, I took from him 4 quarts of blood, then administered a large dose of your Constitution Balls, in about two hours I gave him 2lbs. of treacle diluted with warm water, and in two hours more I ilb. of yeast, with which treatment he soon recovered. This animal is since purchased by a Gentleman who will take him to the Cape of Good Hope, with a quantity of your Balls, being fully persuaded with myself, that no Grazier or Horsekeeper ought ever to be without them. I have had occasion to pursue the same treatment with three other Beasts and in every instance with the most com- plete success. You have my full permission to give publicity to the above, feeling satisfied that by making it generally known, you will confer a very great benefit upon the public. I remain, yours very truly, April 24th, 1844. HENRY BARTON. THE CONSTITUTION BALLS, PREPARED ONLY BY FRANCIS CUPISS, M. R. C. V. S.

SIR JAMES MURRAY'S FLUID MAGNESIA, prepared under the immediate care of the inventor, and established for upwards of thirty years by the pro- fession, for removing bile, acidities, and indigestion, restoring appetite, preserving a moderate state of the bowels, and dissolving uric acid in gravel and gout; also as an easy remedy for sea sickness, and for the febrile affections incident to childhood, it is invaluable.—On the value of magnesia as a redemical agent it is unnecessary to enlarge; but the fluid preparation of Sir James Mur- ray is now the most valued by the profession, as it en- tirely avoids the possibility of those dangerous concre- tions usually resulting from the use of the article in powder, and in the over-dosed liquids of detected imi- tators.

NOTT'S PATENT STOVES still maintain their L decided superiority over every other. They give out twice the heat with half the fuel, and will burn ten hours without replenishing. Ten years' experience in churches, chapels, private dwellings, warehouses, and public offices fully confirm the statetnent. They cannot possibly explode or give out offensive gases, as many others do. They are adapted not only for warming the apartment in which they stand, but for the circulation of hot water to conservatories or any distant part of the building.—Orders addressed to Nott's Stove Company, Wigmore-Street, Cavendish-Square, London, will be attended to. A liberal allowance to ironmongers, builders, &c. THE PATENT COMPOSITE CANDLES. THE S E Candles burn without snuffing more JL brilliantly than the best Wax, and are cheaper in proportion to the light given than the commonest Tal- low Candles. The Patentees respectfully beg all pur- chasers to ask in the shops simply for "PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES," as many imitators have adopted the term" Composite." They are sold by mos t of the respectable Dealers throughout the kingdom, and are supplied wholesale to the trade by EDWARD PRICE and Co., Belmont, Vauxhallv by PALMER and Co., I Sutton-Street, Clerkenwell, and by Mathews and Co., 400, High-street, Cheltenham.

IRISH AFFAIRS.I
IRISH AFFAIRS. I MR. O'CONNELL AND THE ARBITRATION COURTS. —The Freeman's Journal contains a letter from Mr. O'Connell to Dr. Gray, saying :—" I call your attention particularly to this subject for two reasons. First, be- cause you are no longer a member of the Association, and cannot, therefore, be indicted by the noble pair of friends, Brewster and Smith, for a foul conspiracy' to enable the people of Ireland to obtain justice without any expense. Secondly, because no man is better ac- quainted with the details for working out efficiently the plan of such tribunals. Will you then my good friend, join with me in setting the crown lawyers and their prompter at defiance; and helping me to bring home cheap justice to all the Irish people, who are anxious for (as who is not ?) that inestimable article ? For my part, I have made up my mind, no matter at what risk, to assist the Irish people in the establishment of a uni- versal system of arbitration. Will you, in fact, become my secretary, to carry out my plan for the working of arbitration tribunals upon as extensive a scale as possi- ble ? Our plan must have no connexion whatsoever with the Association, so as in any way to involve that .body in our acts. I propose that, immediately on my arrival in Dublin, we should send a circular to some person, clergyman or layman, in each locality, requiring to know whether an arbitration tribunal be requisite or desirable. We shall then proceed to procure persons suited to be arbitrators. The submission in each case must be the voluntary act of the parties litigant; without dictation or control of any other person. We shall keep within the strictest letter of the law."—Dr. Gray reverently accepts Mr. O'Connell's invitation to join him in setting the Crown lawyers and their prompter at de- fiance." Among other letters which fly from Darrynane just now to all parts of Ireland, is one, addressed to the Reverend J. B. Rcche of Galway, which shows that O'Connell's last change took about two days in the brewing. To Mr. Roche he writes, on the 6th—" The declaration of the Federalists is daily expected"—" I have reason to hope that we shall obtain not only the restoration of a domestic Parliament, but something more-that is, a fair share in Imperial con- cerns" with other expressions indicative of a still surviving preference for the Federative plan." How- ever, before the letter is closed, he says—" I do myself want to go no further than simple Repeal" and by the 8th, as we have already seen, he had resolved to forget this Federalist interlude." The Cork Examiner says that a Repeal Magistrate has received a catechizing circular' which indicates some new Anti-Repeal movement on the part of Govern- ment probably a fresh dismissal of Magistrates. The Dublin Evening Post states, that at a general meeting of the Irish Roman Cotholic Prelates, which began its sittings on Tuesday, some parts of the Chari- table Bequests Act were strongly condemned-the Prelates being backed by the Pope's judgment on the points. The Post adds, that it has been officially inti- mated that the objectionable parts of the Act will be modified in the next session of Parliament. FEDERALISM GIVEN up.-Mr. O'Connell has aban- doned his coquetry with Federalism, and returned to the embraces of simple Repeal." The utter confusion of principles and pretexts in Ireland, the blending of cool effrontery and niaiserie, would be amusing did it not suggest the sad reflection that a country which is so befooled by its chosen patriots can do little to right itself, or to strengthen those who might really do so. There is nothing new in the spirit of all this. O'Connell is under the,control of exigencies like those of a popular newspaper editor-he must have subject whieh are spicy" for his periodical: Federalism has not proved a taking" theme, and it is accordingly dropped. The sur- prising thing is, not the shift, but that such transparen t jugglery should still and for ever take in the Irish people. However, it does take in the race, magnum quab sparsa per orbem" and this week the Repeal rent is swelled by contributions from America-even from Astoria, on the extreme Western coast. To cap the absurdity, just as O'Connell reverts to simple Repeal, oat comes Joseph Sturge with some vague promise of English support far Federalism, and a reminder of the Repeal pmtiay.eJa support Complete Suffrage. O'Con- nell sees that the Whigs do- not respond to his advances; he finds that the Federalists are helpless, and only dis- credit him with the more fiery Repealers he probably forgot all about the Birmingham Complete Suffrage Federalists; his troops begin to murmur; so he is off again among the simple Repealers, like a wild horse rejoining the herd. He recommences the peaceful contest" with vigour-preparing for the famous im- peachment of the Judges and somebody else, and for the assemblage of the Preservative Society. Spectator.
THE COMING SESSION._____I
THE COMING SESSION. I [From the Atlw.] I Although many changes have been spoken of as likely to occur in the Ministry, we have not heard any authentic rumours of the measures which they are preparing for the approaching meeting of Parliament. The registrations have been worked by the Liberals with such zeal and effect of late, that a new election would probably prove a more dangerous experiment than the Conservative party would wish to hazard. The Free traders have been" moleing in the dark," and under- mining the Tory strongholds everywhere. Their efforts in South Lancashire have given them a large majority, and it is boasted in the manufacturing districts that the results in all the principal towns will burst upon the Whigs and Tories with equal force, to their great astonishment. Money, likewise, will be forthcoming in abundance whenever the proper occasion arrives. The silence of the Tories with regard to the municipal elections shows that they consider the results unfavour- able to them. In the absence of positive information, we may conjecture that the affairs of Ireland will first occupy the attention of Ministers. The measures alluded to by Sir Robert Peel, at the close of the last session, for providing for Irish education by means of schools and local colleges, and the Report of the land Commission, will probably be placed in a prominent position. We hope that the institutions that are to be endowed by Government will be of a nature to avoid all sectarianism and exclusiveness. It is not exactly known what are the intentions of Government, although it is imagined that the measure which will be brought forward by them will relate to the formation of provincial colleges. At present Trinity College, Dublin, is the only one endowed with full powers of conferring degrees. It is, however, a Protestant ecclesiastical institution, and therefore unsuited to the wants of the present day. Whatever usefulness it possesses is of a limited kind. A Catholic college is certainly necessary for the seven millions of persons who belong to that creed, and Maynooth, with larger endowments and resources, might, with propriety, be constituted the Catholic ecclesiastical university. But the people ought to have a national university, independent of both, where students of every class and creed may obtain their degrees. As for provincial colleges, we have no objection to seeing them as numerous as possible. The most im- portant matter will be the question of their support. The Irish, no doubt, will claim that the Government ought to pay the expense, but it is a question whether the funds ought not rather to be provided by a local rate, unless, indeed, the burden were made to fall exclusively upon the land. It is impossible to think of applying an exceptional tax for education to Ireland. For our parts, we see no objection to the principle of a compulsory tax, provided the country is able to pay it, and that it falls upon all parties in proportion to their means. In Ireland an education tax which operated like the Irish poor-rates, grinding the poor and passing over the rich, would not' be borne. We are not sanguine that any bill founded upon the report of the Land Commission will prove of satisfactory character to the people or be productive of any good. Neither the Ministry nor the Parliament are of a character to pass sweeping organic changes. It is probable, therefore, that some extremely moderate measure will be introduced by Sir Robert Peel for the purpose of conciliating the Liberals without alarming too much his Orange supporters. The corn- laws will next occupy the attention of our Legislature, and all the subsidiary free trade questions which arise out of it, such as the loss of the Brazilian treaty, the union of Belgium with the Zollverein, and the rumoured addition of Hanover, Holland, the Hanse Towns, and Austria to the same spreading confederation. We shall next be favoured with a discussion on the income tax, although we are not sanguine enough to expect to be relieved from it next session. The farmers, likewise, are giving indications of their desire to get rid of the malt tax, and think that if there is any surplus revenue it ought to be used as an equivalent for that tax, and not for the income tax. However flourishing the state of trade may be, it is not likely that it will yield a revenue to make up the amount of the malt tax, neither do we see that the farmers can show any peculiar grounds for relief. If it be tiue that the consumer pays for all in the long run, the malt tax falls upon the country generally, and not upon the farmer class in particular. The removal of the malt tax would only be an addition to the landlord's monopoly. On the whole, we apprehend that the coming session will be productive of no great measures of relief, and that the Government will be content with things as they are, rather than profit by the favourable opportunity which Providence has afforded them of retrieving our position and esta- blishing our prosperity on a firm basis.
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. Last Thursday Lord and Lady Dinorben rensitad Kinmel Park, North Wales, and were welcomed with enthusiasm by the tenantry and inhabitants of the neighbouring towns. Kinmel Mansion has been ele- gantly rebuilt since its destruction by fire two years ago.-Her Majesty and Prince Albert returned to Buckingham Palace on Friday evening from their visit to Burleigh House, where Prince Albert officiated as sponsor to the infant daughter of the Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, who was christened Victoria," in honour of her Majesty, who was present at the cere- mony.

The total capital required for these ninety railways amount* to about E71,000,000; on which deposits to the extent of £4,200,000 will have to be paid, before application is made to parliament.-Mr. Stevenson, the oculist, died in London on the 8th instant.-At Marlborough- street police office, London, on Saturday, an elegantly- dressed married lady, aged about 40, and described as "Jane Tillett, of No. 1, Charles-street, Berkley-square," was charged with stealing a microscope, value 2s. 6d., from a stall in the bazaar in Soho-square. She was seen to take it; and when requested to step into a room to be searched, she dropped it on the floor. The magistrates committed her for trial, but she WAS liberated on heavy bail. Her husband, who was in attendance, was deeply afflicted. Upwards of two hundred attorneys went to London by one train, on the Great Western Railway, a few days since.Then will be an Indian mail every fortnight, from the begin- ning of 1845. According to the Kilkenny Moderator, the agricultural labourers in that neighbourhood are working for 2d. a day and spare diet.At a White- chapel distillery, last week, a number of labourer*, acting under the authority of the excise, dug up the earth all round about, and discovered several hun- dred feet of pipe, which had been used to hold spirit, and thereby diminish the visible amount of atoek. A Labourers' Friend Society" for the purpose of letting allotments of land to the poor, has been formed in Worcester, under the auspices of the Lord Bishop of the diocese.-A dreadful encounter took place on Thursday night at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, between a party of watchers and some poachers on the Ravensworth estate, about three miles from that town, in which two of the keepers were dreadfully wounded, and now lie in a precarious state.-One day last week a letter WM posted in Tre' Madoc, and payment for the postage Was tendered, in the shape of a wooden spoon. The differences between the directors of the Taff-Vale Rail- way and the Marquis of Bute have, it is understood, been adjusted, the noble marquis having agrcf-d to with- draw the increased Cardiff wharfage charger which he had previously insisted upon. This reconciliation was achieved at a meeting held at Bristol, on Thursday.- There are no less than 2243 members of the bar; of these, 7 are of more than fifty years, standing, and 1100 who have been called within the last ten years. The Solicitor-General, on behalf of Mr. Salomons, has obtained a quo warranto, directed to Mr. Alderman and ex-Sheriff Moon, requiring him to show cause by what authority he exercises the office of Alderman of the Ward' of Portsoken, in the City of London. The Queen has granted the dignity of a Baronet to Vice- Admiral Sir Wm. Parker. A storekeeper at one of our colonies has absconded, defrauding the government of £ 20,000. There is a report current among the officers of the Indian Army, that a large augmentatioa of regiments will be made, and that several of the regiments now borne on the Madras establishment will be transferred to that of Bombay. A letter from Bom- bay states that the army of that Presidency will have an increase of four Native Corps to meet the demands of Scinde.——The Major-General of the French Navy, at Rocbefort, has issued an order, forbidding tbe officers of the navy from wearing moustachios and long beards. -Several attornies of Birmingham were the victims an impudent fraud last week.

The Ayr Observer, a Tory paper, has raised the standard of local parliaments," anii invokes Scotchmen to rally round it, if they be worthy descendants of Wallace and of Bruce.-There are R8 less than 111 projects for new railways before the pub- lic, the total estimated capital for which is more than 127 millions pounds sterling! The three-hundredth anniversary of the introduction of potatoes into Europe was celebrated a few days since at Munich.-A monu- ment is about to be erected to the memory of William the Conqueror, atFalaise, the place of his birth. The Normana have been a long time in thinking of it-about 800 years. -Lord Saye & Sele died on Wednesday morning, at his town residence, Lower Grosvenor-st., aged 75, and is succeeded by his son, the Hon. William Twisleton Fiennes.On Tuesday week, at Knutsford, an inquest was held on the body of Mr. Gallop, a respectable Wes- leyan, in the service of the Grand Junction Company at Crewe. The result was the committal of his daughter, aged 20, on a charge of murdering her father by gra- dually administering poison in his food (with a view, it is supposed, to the possession of E400 which he had saved.) The wife of the deceased committed suicide about half a year ago.-The Arcadia has arrived at Liverpool with advices from New York to the 31st ult. Th- presidential election was, of course, one of the leading topics. The contest would be over in about a fortnight after the Acadia left. There had been a great hurricane and flood, which had caused much devasta- tion, particularly at Buffalo. A fine ship, named the Mary Kingsland, loading at New Orleans for Liverpool. had been almost totally destroyed by fire, together with 1700 bales of cotton. A stir is being made for a re- duction of a taxation, and various articles have been named to which the minister should give a preference. The agriculturists ask for a reduction or abolition of the malt tax—a large portion of the public is anxious for a reduction of the duties on tea to Is. per j u.; coffee to 2d. per lb. and sugar to 10s. per ewt.-aiid a third party ask for the abandonment of the tax on policies of ir- surance.On Thursday evening week, as the Welsh mail was leaving Ross for Gloucester, on turning the corner from Barrett's Royal Hotel, it got off the lock, the pole broke, and one of the horses fell. Francis, the driver, was thrown off the box, severely cut upon the head, and otherwise injured. The guard and passen- gers fortunately escaped unhurt; and by the energy of Devonshire, the mail bags were brought by him to Glou- cester in less than half an hour after the usual time, and the passengers arrived soon afterwards in chaises. Dr. Lardner's misfortunes follow him to America, for we learn, by the New York papers, that the Providence theatre has been destroyed by fire, and with it the whole of Dr. Lardner's lecturing apparata. The building had been occupied the evening previous by the doctor, who delivered there the last of his course of scientific lectures. Besides the scenery and fixtures of the theatre, all Dr. Lardner's philosophical apparatus, including the great microscope, and a splendid collection of paintings, worth together 15,000 dollars, was consumed, and we understand the doctor had effected no insurance on the property. The splendid planetarium, constructed by Mr. Russell, of Ohio, with the labour of 20 years, was also burned. The value is said to have been 12,000 dollars. The factory operatives of Stockport have turned out for an advance of wages.-The first con- viction of a millowner under the new Fact rics Act, on a charge of leaving dangerous machinery unguarded, took place at Manchester, on Saturday, when Mr. Wad- dingtun was fined ;C20 and costs.
