No longer since indeed. than Tuesday it was intimated in an Evening Paper that the Company derived a pro-' fit of 100 per cent. from their monopoly of the tea trade. It has been farther, affirmed, that, in consequence of 'the Americans having the ex clusive supply of their own market, as well as that of the Continent of Europe, they are de riving great profits from - the privilege, and greatly increasing the trade. Let us examine these as sertions. In the first place, it appears from official returns, made by our Consul at Frank fort, of the price of tea at that city and the Con federate States of Germany, that, it is actually dearer there than in England. It should also be recollected that the East India Company have the choice of all the teas offered for 'sale at Canton, and that the Americans can buy none but those which the Company have refused. The consequence is, that the American teas are notoriously of an inferior quality. But, that the reader may judge for himself, we subjoin the Report referred to :.—. BLACK TEAS. Bohea, per lb Congo and Campoi 2 1 3 0 Souchong Pouchong Padree Souchong Padres Ziun Tioung Piero Caravan (Russian) lO 0 11 8 GREEN TEAS. Hyson Skin 2 1 2 11 Singlo 3 0 0 0 Twankay 2 6 3 4 Young Hyson 3 4 4 2 Hyson 3 9 6 8 Imperial or Pearl Gunpowder 7 6 8 4 Tali or Rugel 8 4 9 2 Soolong Bloom 5 10 7 6 Caravan (Russian) Now, if any one will take the trouble to refer to our Price Current, it will be seen that the prices of the Company's teas, exclusive of the duty, are actually lower, and some of them con siderably lower, than those here quoted. But, as it is observed by a 'writer in the Asiatic Journal, , 4 With respect to prices, there never was a more audacious falsehood uttered than the assertion that the Company dispose of tea at double the prices at which a similar quality can be had at any of the Continental ports of Europe,' to say nothing about duty. In Russia (which has a large and regular supply of it s own , direct' from China), at Naples, Venice, Flume, and in the Roman Staes, the Selling price of tea, notwithstanding the low duties payable on the article in those countries, are actually higher than our retail prices, after the payment of a duty of one hundred per cent. ! The prices in Prussia, Franconia, and the south-west of Ger many, Denmark, and Sicily, are equal to or higher than our own prices would be, if our teas paid the same duties as are imposed upon teas in those places." We will now proceed to examine the asser tion relative to the great profits derived by the Americans, by their tea trade. On this subject an authentic statement has been published by the Journal referred to above, from which it appears " that Bohea, which is not to be had in China at a lower rate than Sid. per lb., may be pur chased at Antwerp for 741, in France for and at Hamburg for sd. Congou, which sells at Canton at from 11d. to ls. per lb., is pur chaseable in France at 101 d., and at Hamburg at from Sid. to 104 d. The price of Campoi at Canton is 11d. ; at Hamburg it is only Sid. Hyson sells for ls. 9id. at Canton, but for only ls. Sid. in France. Young Hyson cannot be had at Canton under Is. 8-, 3 / 4 -d. per lb., but it may be got. at Hamburg for 9d—much less than one-half! Twankay sells for Ild. per lb. at the place where it is grown, but, thanks to Ame rican speculation, at Hamburg it may be had for 7i.d. But the climax is the price of Souchong at Hamburg, which is sd. per lb., the same as the lowest description of common Bohea in that market, and little. more than half the price o! Bohea in that of Canton ! I" So much for the profits derived by the Ame ricans from the tea trade. The fact is, the trade has been a most ruinous one. It has, in short, been the destruction of three parts of the mer chants who engaged in it. There remains one more assertion to examine —namely, the increase of the American trade. In 1815-16, the Ame ricans exported from China, for foreign con sumption, 2,731,0001b5. In 1826-27, they ex ported 357,966 lbs., which, instead of showing an increase, shows a decrease of no less than 2,373,0341b,5. The Evening Paper alluded to above says, "the question is, whether it is just that our own ships should be debarred from a trade enjoyed by the Americans ? and whether the Ameri cans have or have not over-traded is really no thing to the purpose." Now, with all du e de- ference to our respectable Contemporary's opi nion, we must say that this is not the question. The question for the considerati o n o f th e Le . _ gislature is, whether, by throwing open the trade to the English merchants, they and the country at large would be benefitted by it ? For our part we have no hesitation in answering this question in the negative, and we think the state ments which we have furnished above afford abundant reasons for coming to this decision. There are, however, other reasons, not the least of which is the peculiar nature of the trading in stitutions of China. The tea trade in China is a monopoly, and it is well known that the Chinese have the greatest jealousy of foreigners, and of the introduction of foreign goods. In deed, the probability is that, if China were to be inundated with British goods (as it would be if the trade were thrown open), the Chinese would prohibit our importations altogether, which would compel us t o pay spec i e f or a ll our teas ; for it should be recollected that this article, now a necessary of life in England, can be pro cured nowhere else., COAL MARI Atlair's 31s.

(From the Second Edition of the Bath Journal of Alonday.) [This article was omitted in our Paper of yesterday by mistake.] IWe stop the press to notice a twofold murder and suicide of a more horrible nature than it has ever been our unpleasant task to record. This (Monday) morning, about twenty minutes before six o'clock, a man of the name of Beer, lodging with his wife and child, at No. 1, Williams-place, at the back of St. James's -street, St. James's-square, murdered both the latter by cutting their throats with a razor. Just before six o'clock, Mrs. Chapple, another lodger in the house, sleeping in the next room to Beer, fancied' she heard something like a gurgling in the throat ; she immediately went to the door and called-to Mrs. Beer, and asked if she was ill, but having repeated her call two or three times without an answer, she opened the door and went into the room, and again asked Mrs. Beer if she was ill, to which no answer could be obtained. She began then to suspect that all was not right, and told her husband to strike a light ; on entering the room with which, she discovered a sight of horror past the power of words to describe. The mother was lying on her back, with one hand across her breast, and her throat cut from one angle of the jaw to the other, dividing some of the principal arteries and windpipe ; and the little innocent, about four months old, which appeared to have been lately drawn from the breast for the murderous purpose, was lying on its side, with its head severed, except ing by a bit of skin at the back part of the neck. The bodies were weltering in blood, a pool of which, under the bed, extended across the room. It was evidently the result of a cool and deliberate intent, for it appeared that the deed was committed while the sufferers were asleep, there having been no noise heard by any of the lodgers or neighbours, except ing that described by Mrs. Chapple, which was after the deed had been perpetrated, and the murderer had escaped. Mr. White, surgeon, of St. James's square, was called in at six o'clock, too late, of course, to be of any service; and the result of his examination tended to show that there was no strug gling, and the bed clothes were not disturbed. There were other points that seem to prove the deliberateness of the act. The bloody razor was lying open on a box by the side of the bed, and the case was lying on the dresser down stairs in the kitchen, and with it a lath-hatchet, a s : h oug h in,- tended for use if the murderer had failed to accom plish his purpose with the razor. What was the cause of this dreadful act the most distant idea can not be formed. Beer is described by the lodgers as being a very steady - man, fond of hi s wife and hi s home, and doatingly fond of his child, which he was always caressing when at home ; nor h ave they lat terly seen any alteration in his conduct. All the previous day, Sunday, both Beer and his wife were at home, and appeared, as usual, ver y comfortable :and happy, and retired to bed as usual at ten o'clock. :Beer was a Journeyman baker, and had been em ployed as foreman by Mr. Darks, of St. James's street, for nearly the last twelvemonths, during which time his employer had found him attentive to his business, a trustworthy servant in his master's absence, particularly obliging, and apparently happy. Mr. and Mrs. Davies saw no alteration in his con duct up to the latest period, except that when he came on Sunday evening to prepare for the next morning's baking, he was about two hours later than his usual time, but :he did his business very properly, and seemed in his: manner as usual. Immediately after the discovery of the above hor rible murder, the officers of justice were apprised of it, and were quickly on the alert to apprehend the perpetrator. Shortly after daylight a baker's jacket with blood on it, was seen lying on the bank of the river near ,Bedford-street, Walcot; in consequence of which William George, of Bathwick, took a boat to search the river, and found the body of Beer in 4tthe water, with life quite extinct, at the bottom of Bedford-street. The body was thence taken to Walcot workhouse, to await the Coroner's Inquest. (Further particulars from the Bath Gazette.) Beer was formerly foreman to Mr. Sheppard, near the toll-gate on the Wells-road, where he also for a short time, carried on business on his own ac count; but for about 12 months . past he has been employed as foreman by Mr. Davies, of St. James's street, St. James's-square. Beer was well-known as a man of steady habits, loving to his wife, enjoy ing his fireside, and almost idolizing his child; he was industrious in his busineSs, faithful to his em ployers, obliging to every body, in easy circum stances,* surrounded with comforts adapted to his situation in life, and, to all appearance, good-tem pered and happy ! How can an event so extraordi nary and appalling be accounted for. There had been no appearance of alteration in him in any res pect ? He was later than usual on Sunday evening in his preparations for Monday's baiting, but he did every thing as usual, and in his usual, way. That the act was deliberate, there is not a shadow of a doubt ; the razor-sheath and hatchet below stairs, and the victims murdered in their sleep, show that it was not a momentary impulse which hurried him to the deed; but how long it had been contemplated, it is impossible now to discover. On the prerious day Beer appeared happy as usual with his wife and child until the evening, when they went to church, and the child was christened, after which a few friends returned with them to their lodgings, and had some beer before they departed. After they were gone, Beer and his wife were heard quarrell ing by the people under them. What was the sub ject of their quarrels ? Who can or who will tell ? The human heart has many openings by which atrocities of all sorts may find an entrance, if unopposed; or, as our law-formulary expresses it, " not haring the fear of God." We have inquired where were Beer and his wife all Sunday ? The answer was, " They were at home, as usual, all day," till the evening, when the child was christ ened. Whatever may have been the proximate cause of his awful conduct, we fear he habitually cultivated no principle which might have opposed it. We may resume this topic next week. The Coroner's inquest also may throw some light upon the affair: the bodies are still waiting his arrival, now momentar,44sxpected. • - _ v We have seen informed there were twelve sove reign., two guineas, and other money, found in his pocket when the hody,was taken out of the water. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was taken before Mr. CARTER, at the George and Dragon, Barrett street, Lambeth, touching the death of Jane Long, a little girl in her seventh year, who was burnt so dreadfully by her clothes taking fire, that she. stir- vived but a few hours. After some remarks from the Coroner as to the ncaution of mothers leaving their children alone by :he fire-side, in such inclement weather, the Jury found a verdict, in conformity to the Coroner's charge, of " Accidentally burnt." Yesterday afternoon the adjourned inquest on the body of Robert Yandell, the pugilist, was con cluded at the Three Elms, St. Ann's-lane.—Mr. Oilier, the parish surgeon, stated that he had opened the body of the deceased; he did not attribute his death to excessive drinking, but, on the contrary, he believed the unfortunate man bad expired from the effects of a dreadful blow on his head, which had apparently been inflicted by a stick or staff. If the deceased had fallen, he could not possibly have struck himself on the vertex. The Jury upon this evidence returned the following verdict— " That the deceased had expired in consequence of the wounds on his head ; and, from the evidence of Mr. Oilier, they considered that the injuries were wilfully inflicted." Yesterday afternoon the inquest on Maria Donell was resumed at the Sir George Osborne's Head, Princes-street, Mile-end. Two medical gen- tlemen who had opened the body of the deceased, said there was the appearance of great inflammation in the stomach, but they could not discover any portion of the poison which - it was alleged the de ceased had swallowed. They were therefore un able to say whether the poison had caused her death. A verdict was then returned, that " the deceased died of inflammation in the stomach and intestines, but how produced there was no evidence to shew." It is an extraordinary fact; and is a proof of the salubrity of the air in that part of this county, that since the 4th of April last, until the 17th instant, not a single interment of a parishioner has taken place at Many mynech, though the number of the inhabitants at the last census was nearly a thousand. The person buried on that day was upwards of eighty years o?il.—Salopian Journal. On Friday evening- last, as Mr. CALVERT, a butcher, who resided in North Bar-stree►, Beverley, was returning home from Bishop Burton, on horseback, with a friend behind him ; just as the York coach (Trafalgar) was corning, aad near the toll-bar,,Mr. C. passed the coach at a brisk pace, for about forty yards, when the horse-girthing broke, and precipitated all thee to the ground. I‘lr C. was quite insensible ; and the coach coming up some of the passengers alighted and unloosed his neckerchief, but with no avail. There was but one inside passenger, but the fool, or worse, would not allow the dying man to be taken in. The poor man was kept in that state till the coach arrived at Beverley, and they sent a chaise to fetch him home. His head, at the right side, was quite flattened; and after remaining in this state till about two o'clock on Saturday morning he expired. He was highly respected, and his untimely death "" gretted by all the neighbourhood. His friend (Mr. HARKER, of Bishop Burton) sustained no material injury. --York Courant. Not many years ago a Jew came to the Court of King's Ilench to justify a bail for 1,800/. when, on the usual question being asked—if he was worth 18001. and all debts paid—he replied, “My Lords, upon my vord, dis is a very great shoal; and, as I an not really vort de half, I vill not justify, my Lords, for it ; but, as de at torney here did give me 201. bank note to justify, wat. vod your Lordship have me do vid de moneys?" The Earl of MANsFut.o, who seemed struck with the answer, immediately replied, " You are an honest Jew, and I would advise you by all means to keep the note;" which MORDECAI ISRAEL, accordingly 41; and, as his Lord ship was going out of Court, the Israelite, with many bows and serves, said—" I Lombly tank your Lord ship ; for you are the th-st person that ever called ins an honest Jew." Mr. Hunt came again to the Mansion-House yes terday, and, addressing the LORD MAYOR, said, the principal reason of his then applying to his Lordship was to correct a mistake of a Morning Paper, which he held in his hand, which, if it went forth uncontradicted, might do more mischief than any attempt to remedy the evil complained of could .do good. He held in his hand the Morning He• raid of that day, which, after giving an account that was substantially correct, of the represents• tions made by him to his Lordship, added, " The wretched state of Blackfriurs•bridge arises from its being lowered and Macadamised." Now, he had not said one word in complaint of its having been Macadamized, nor did bis Lordship say one word in condemnation of it. [His Lordship here said he perfectly recollected that neither of them had ut tered a w9rd.against the bridge being Macadamized.] Mr. Hunt said that his complaint was .that the bridge was not Macadamized : when it Was Maca damizedt• it was the best bridge to drive over in London, as Westminster-bridge, which had lately been Macadamized, was - now ; but Blackfriars bridge had long ceased .to be Macadamized ; for when it was worn the method of repairing it for some time had been to throw a cart of large stones into the hole. He was made to say that there were holes in Blackfriars-bridge as large as the inkstand, or an Alderman's head ; but the fact was, that there were holes in it that six Aldermen might lie in. He had no doubt that the object was to let Black friars-bridge remain in the present state till the nui sance became intolerable ; that then there might be a pretence for pitching and paving it, which, if it took place, would certainly be a most expensive job, so that he was anxious to have it properly Macdamized, not only for the safety of the public but to save the city purse. The LORD MAYOR observed that no doubt Mr. Hunt's representation of the state of the bridge would procure a speedy improvement. Mr. Ilunt ex pressed his satisfaction and withdrew. BOW-STREET. Yesterday William Davis and Hannah Allan were brought forward for a final examination, the former charged with feloniously receiving 130 dozen pairs of gloves, which had been stolen from the warehouse of Mr. Towns, a wholesale glover in Fleet-street, early in the present month, and the latter with hav ing a quantity of silks in her possession, supposed to have been stolen. The prisoner Davis was fully committed to New gate for trial for having received the same with a guilty knowledge, there being no evidence to con nect him with the actual robbery.—The female prisoner was discharged. M A RYLEBONE. On Tuesday morning a young man of fashionable appearance and good address, was charged before Mr. GRIFFITH with felony and fraud. He gave his name Spencer Barrington Bloon!ficid. Mr. t ropley, of No. 10, Tunbridge-place, New. road, stated, that in September last the prisoner engaged board and lodging at his house." He had the use of a horse and gig, which he called his own, and represented himself to be the appointed surgeon of two Institutions. Mr. Cropley gave him credit for a month, not doubting that he was a peraiakof respectability. , •The money, however, was not forthcoming, and instead of the horse and gig being his own property, a livery-stable-keeper came one day to the complainant's house with a bill for the hire of it, and the complainant told Mr. Bloomfield, that unless he paid for what he had already received he would not be permitted to sit down again at his table. The defendant left his house, and he had not been able to find him until that morning, and lie gave him into custody, not for his debt respecting board and lodging, but on suspicion that he had stolen an Itinerary, Akenside's Pleasures of Imagi nation, and three oth e r v o l umes , w hi c h di sappeare d with him. Mr. Taplin, of Hart -street, Covent-Garden, stable-keeper, complained that the prisoner, by re presenting that he was about to be married to a lady of title and fortune, induced him to let him have on hire a horse and gig for ninety days certain. The lady lived at No. 10 Tunbridge-place, and see ing it was a genteel house, and concluding it was the property of the lady, although the bargain was for him to be paid fourteen duys in advance, he suffered the account to remain unsettled, and he now finds that the person who passed for the prisoner's servant, and drove him about the town, is his own brother. The prisoner one day hired a close car riage, a " very handsome turn out," to be married in, as he said, but it all proved to be untrue. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the books. Many others complained of his having got into their debt, and he was detained for want cf bail, under the charge of felony. Yesterday the prisoner was again placed at the bar, and other charges were brought against him ; one of them was made by Mr. Joseph Hughes, of 67, South Andley-street, tailor, who stated, that in 1826 the prisoner, by representing himself to be nephew to the Bishop of Chester, and also to the Bishop of London, induced him to furnish him with "clothes. The bill ran up to 24!., and after it was delive:ed to him in one of the Alpha Cottages where he then lived, he introduced his brother as a Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers, and he was supplied with clothes also. After that the com plainant was never able to find him, until on the 6th of September, 1828, he met him walking arm-in. arm with his brother in Regent -street. Th e corn _ _ plainant was walking with his wife, and he left her, and going up to Bloomfield, asked for payment of the hill, and Bloomfield, struck him violently in both his eyes and knocked him down upon the pave ment. He was for some minutes sens:less, and could not see any thing for three weeks afterwards. In answer to this, Bloomfield wanted to make it appear that Mr. Hughes struck the first blow ; but this was denied. Bloomfield then said he collared him, and called him a swindler ; and that was also denied. It was stated by one of the witnesses (Mr. Ber doe), in the course of his evidence, that the pri soner's parents are obscure individuals, residing in Suffolk, and that two of his brothers are bricklayers. Mr. Berdoe said he had had him under his notice for seven years. Sometimes he called himself Paget, sometimes Reid, sometimes Spencer, and someti;nes Smith. There were five or six connected together; one of them keeps . a carriage, ;;Ird the coachman in livery is one of the party. Ile was remanded till thin day. On Friday, Edmund Walker and Eliza Plum ap peared again before Mr. HOSKINS, to answer any other charge which might be limuolit against th em . Mr. Joseph p r i ce, o Birmingham, stated, that about the 'od of June Walker came to his ware house in that place. He (the complainant) had some suits of necklaces in the house, and Walker said if they were cleaned up he could dispose of them in Birmingham. Walker called again in four or five days, and said he had got a cks4omer for them, and they were put into h Lands as an agent, and he was to hi r, Lack 3.5 guineas. About six days after that, instead of bringing the money, he told the complainant a person had tillien them up to London, but they should bo retnrned on the follow ing Tuesday or Wednesday, but he never heard of him afterwards saw,; . las:name , the,paper. li e had ma d e great inquiry after him for three HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday George Crouchman, Robert Ilowde ll, Hlohn 'Powell, and William Horn, charged with . breaking into and robbing the. hop-warehouse o f Messrs. Truman, Hanbury, and Co., the brewers, wore brought tip for re-examination before the it tioß• Magistrates, Mr. LAING and Mr. Serjeaot After hearing a great deal of evidence, the Ma gistrates remanded the prisoners till Tuesday next for further evidence, but desired that all the ',hove wit- . nesses should be bound over to prosecute the two prisoners, particularly Crouching!' and Dow:iell., WORSHIP-STREET. THE DISAPPOINTED BRIDE ; Ott, THE Oln ' ADAGE OF AN ACCIDENT " BETWEEN THE CCP AND THE LIP" VERlFlED.—Yetterdity Mining a fishionably attired young man, named Michael Gander, was brought before Mr. BENET'', from the parish church of Bishopsgate, to the altar of which edifice he was approaching for the purpose of rivet ting Hymen's bolts with a fine-looking young we wan, whose disappointed anticipations and surprised feelings may be more easily conceived than described, when in the body of the church, and before she reached the presence of the Minister of God, one of, those tins of the law, ycleped a constable, seized hold of and took away her Letrothed and intended spouse upon a charge of felony. if, as in other countries, that the sanctuary is a refuge for crimi nals, how Justly has she cause to complain of its in vasion in this; and in that state of amazement she accompanied him to the office. The facts were briefly these appeared th prisoner lodged for about six weeks with a widow lady named M'Auliff, in Weymouth-terrace, Cirv road. On Wednesday, the 18th inst., he abrnptiy left his lodgings, and a small trunk which lay in Mrs. M'Auliff's bed-room, was immediately afier missed, and which contained some silver table, tea, and gravy spoons, a diamond and a topaz ling, and a mourning ring. A lady who lives adjoining saw him on the day stated carry away the trunk; and a ser vant girl, whom he sent up stairs upon a frivolous message, saw the trunk in the room when she left it, and on her return both the" prisoner and the trunk were gone. The Magistrate congratulated the afflicted bride upon the hair-breadth escape she had from being tied to such a - Man:and remanded the prisoner until Monday. UNION.HALL. Yesterday Mr: Wardel, who has taken so ac(i ti •e a part on behalf of Mr. Watts, came 16 the orrice to ask the Magistrates' advice with respect to the de, tendon of that unfortunate gentleman : Mr. Wardel said that Mr. Watts had not th• slightest suspicion why he was detained, and was becoming very uneasy about his confinement. It was considered, how ever, very hazardous to suffer him to leave the place where he then was, in the state of mind under which he laboured. The Magistrates having expressed a desire to :ea the unfortunate man, he was conducted to the office by Mr.Wardel and led into a private room. He was in a state of great nervous irritability, and on the subject of his intended suicide being mentioned to hire, he burst into tears : he declared that he had since tho. roughly repented of the rash purpose. The Magistrates suggested that if the subscribers of the Philanthropic Institution, of which Mr. Watts was the founder, were to call a meeting on the sub ject, there was little doubt but something wouLt b e done for him. The above suggestion was subsequently made known to Mr. Watts, who accompanied Mr. Wardel back to the house, the latter gentleman undertaking that he should have every care and attention. William Smith, who was footman to Rowland Stephenson at the period that individual absconded, was brought up, charged with stealing two pieces of mutton from a butcher's shop in Union -street. The prisoner said he was in want at the ta me h e took the meat.—He was committed for (:ne month to Brixton. DEATH OF THE DOUBLE. HEADED GIRL The child with two heads, lately arrived at Paris, from Sardinia, ansl which has excited so much inte rest in that metropolis contemporaneously with the Siamese youths in London, died a few days ago. Thus all the hopes founded by modern physiology on the observation of the phenomena likely to result from this double organization, if life had continued longer, are now annihilated, M. Geoffroy Saint- Hilaire had announced that there was only one heart. At the Academy of Medicine it was pre tended that there were two. Until dissection de mopstrates the truth of one or the other of those two opinions, we shall cite one circtumitance which seems to resolve the question in favour of the opinion of the Professor of Zoology, Ritta, or the right side of the infant, had been ill for three days, and her ill niss did not Appear in any degree to influence the health of Christina, the other side ; so that at the moment when Ritta had given up the ghost, Chris tina was hanging to the breast of her mother and playing with her face. Dot suddenly she let g o, heaved a sigh and died. At the end of ten minutes Christina was cold, while Ritta, who had first died, still retained some wiltillth eight hours afterwards. If we consider the heart the ecntre of animal heat, the circumstance we have just related becomes a strong presumption of the existep,e of one heart ex citing two brains. Thy physiological fact, which. raised the astonishment of the persons around, is so much the more iateresting, as it may serve to ex plain tiwai, than one anatomical circumstance of this curious phenomenon. The father refused for a long time to suffer the monster to bit dissected, but th e solicitations of M. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and the injunctions of the polio overcame his repugnance, and the bicephalic infant has been carried to the Theatre of Attatturty, in the Jardia du Roi. It :s to be hoped that it will not go from this, exe4t to b e te Placed in th e co ll ect i on o f t h e R oyal Aluseu,— Courricr Owing to the heavy fall of snow on Tuesday night, both in tiie metropolis and in the country,' there was a dtliy in the arrival of some of the mas yesterday morning. The Ipswich mail-bag was sent to town by a post-chaise and four, owing to. the snow being so deep; it .lid not arrive at the Post-office till a quarter after eighty' and the Dover mail at twenty minutes before nine. The - told was so severe during the night, that seven!l of the coachmen and guards were quite benumbed. The snow was falling very heavily at Dover when•the mail left ; and the passengers by the Calais steam-boat stated that iti,. snow and told hs d set in very severely there, and in all the. north of France.
