The question is often debated, Where Is the best market to buy the necessaries of lifo ? amon; the more important f which may be enumerated tea, cone, and sugar. There exist different opinions, as is sure to bo the case, and ever will be, until people knew how to decide c hat onstitutes chcapne3s. Tea is an article of such general consumption that its quality and price are very essential considerations. There exists great difficulty in judging its value by appearance, and families, to secure good qualities, are frequently induced to pay extravagant prices. Why should this be? The importations for several years have been re markably large, comprising unusually fine selections ; the markets have ruled low; and the public are fairly entitled to the advantages arising therefrom. _ Our invariable custom is to accommodate our prices with the mar ket currency.

On the occasion of the departure of her Majesty's ship Albatross, after her recent successful expedition, Captain Farquhar and his officers gave an entertain ment to Sir James Brooke and the European inha bitants of Sarawak. After dinner, Captain Farquhar, in an able and complimentary speech, proposed the health of Sir James Brooke, which was enthusiastic ally pledged by his numerous guests assembled. Sir James's reply was in substance as follows "He felt deeply the honour which had 5 just been paid to him ; for several and different reasons he prized this compliment greatly, and in returning his thanks he would take this opportunity of refuting some statements which had recently appeared in a Singapore newspaper." After mentioning his reasons he proceeded thus :—" lie would treat the matter without passion ; it was very evident that the person who furnished those statements had been present during the expedition, and he would acquit him of any malicious intention in offering his crude and ignorant observations to the public, without having positively ascertained the truth or false hood of what he so rashly advanced ; he need not add that these statements were false and baseless, and must have emanated from a most ignorant person. This greedy informer has doubted whether the people of Sarebas, residing on the .Rembas river, attacked through the Kaluka were pirates, and has made one or two as extraordinary s tatements as err emanated from ignorance, and which were greedily set forth to the discredit of a public paper. Every statement there made is re c klessly false or shamelessly distorted ; he would notice one or tw o o f t h e most striking examples, and if on readin g thi s confutation from a person whose hands are officially tied, he re avers his statement, he must be a rascal indeed. It is there said that four peaceful and unarmed men were decoyed aboard the small boat called the Ular, and subsequently slaughtered in cold blood ; the fact being that they were fully armed, they were people of Rembas, and after wounding two of the Ular's men, were killed resisting in their own boat without a word being uttered by them. They had some sirih ; but is a pirate the less a pirate because he sells crum pets ? Then again, it is said a single toothless old man, floating on the river, was barbarously massacred ; the fact was that he was in his war costume, return ing from a head hunting expedition at Sassung ; he was a large powerful young man, and fought despe rately to the last; and might he not Ask, how would „,,,,, e.., ,, i. ,,,,,, ..,,,T„:'.1- 4 1.- . . ,• _ ,K .k . ~._ ...... • .

Last night a meeting convened by the " Fraternal Democrats" was held at the Farringdon-hall, Snow hill, for the purpose of " adopting addresses of.tym pathy to the citizen Ledru Rollin and his brave corn patriotq, who have just been sentenced to transporta tion for life," &c. The hall was crowded by an assemblage composed of the usual attendants upon Chartist meetings, with a good sprinkling of women and youths, or, as one of the speakers termed •the latter, " men of the future." Mr. BUCHANAN, who moved a resolution condem natory of the French expedition to Rome, insisted that Ledru Roltin in opposing the Government bad gone no further than had been done in this country in 1688, and only sought to do what was now recog nised by the law of this land as perfectly con stitutional. Mr. BRONTERRE O'BRIEN followed, and argued that Ledru Rollin, in protesting against the violation of the constitution by the French Government, had only exercised the duty expected from him as a representative of the people. He (Mr. O'Brien) lamented that the ignorance of a large portion of the population of France, particularly the agricultural portion, was so great that they were incapable of selecting the right sort of representatives to keep their rascally Government in check. After adverting to the mercantile power of England, which he said had ever been the greatest means of depriving Europe of the full benefits of the three revolutions of France, and which power must be put down ere any effectual good for the people could be done, the speaker con cluded by seconding the resolution, which was carried. Mr. HARNEY next proposed two addresses —one to Ledru boffin and those of his compatriots who have been fortunate enough to avoid arrest, and another to the families of those who have been recently con victed at Versailles. The former address, a somewhat lengthy document, according the approbation of the meeting to those " who on June 13 last nobly attempted to save the Roman Republic from de struction, France from dishonour, and European freedom from th e consp i racy of the enemies of human progression," was supported by a long and warm speech from Mr. Harney, who said that the Govern ment of France, having violated the Constitution by sending an expedition to Rome, the majority of the Assembly, by their refusal to sanction the impeach meat of the President and bis Ministers, proposed by Ledru Rollin, had become participators in the crime, and were equally traitors to France and the world. He justified Ledru Rollin from the taunts that had been cast on him fur remaining in England instead of standing a trial, by appealing to the results of the trials of those who were arrested as a specimen of the justice he might have expected. Other speeches were delivered by Messri Rudd, M'Grath, Townsend, &c., and the meeti ng was wound up, after an app ea l from Mr. Harney to induce those present .to join the "Fraternal Democrats , " by a series of cheersforKossuth, Mazzini, Ledru Rollin , &c. --- BRITISH INsayrunoN.—Yesterday the studies made from the works of the old masters were exhibited to the governors of the institution. The pictures, as usual, are selected from those exhibited in the spring, and the adoption of Mr. Turner's " Shipwreck" and landscape as subjects for study is a rare instance of honour to a living master. Cuyp's Winter scene, Dietrich's Black.; smith, Greuse'e picture of a Girl, Salvator Rosa's land scape, Titian's Holy Family, and Diana bathing, and Guido's David and Goliah, are the other principal paint ings. The students exhibit their ordinary timidity in shrinking from the highest department of art, Salvator Rosa's landscape boasting 1.6 copies, and Grouse's Girl 14, while David and Goliah can find but two imitators. Titian, indeed, has found eight copiers of his 4‘ Diana," but then this work is on a small scale. The copies, as usual, are of every degree of size and every degree of merit. COLLECTION or THE Ho? DUTY.—The Lords of ' the Treasury have dscided not to call upon parties for sureties for the payment of the second moiety of the hop duty for the year 1848. The following circular has been issued by the Inland B oar d o f R evenue to their collec tors:—" Sir,—l am di recte d b y the Board to acquaint you for your guidance, that in all cases in which the first moiety of Om hop duty for 1848 shall have been paid, bond without surety may be taken for the second moiety, observing that although the condition of such bond wiil be for the immediate payment of the same, yet the Board will grant indulgence, end not enforce such payrin nt Wore the lath October, 1850, except in the event of circumstances occurring which may in any case induce them to apprehend that the debt will be endan gered by delay.

TuE WstEcir or THE APOLLO STEAMER. —The boilers of this steamer, which sunk in Northfleet Hope, many years since in a collision, have been recovered within the last few days by the excellent arrangements and indefatigable exertions of Captain lowlands, the principal harbour-master of the port of London. It will be remembered that several accidents have occurred in raising the ship, and that on one occasion the Water witch steamer sank on the wreck of the Apollo in an unsuccessful attempt. Almost everything, however, had been recovered except the boilers, which are between 60 and 70 tons weight; but now, with the aid of lumps, lighters, and gear from her Majesty's dockyard. Sheer ness, Captain Rowlands has weighed the boilers, and has landed them near Grays. GAME LAWS.—A deputation of the National Anti- Game-law Association had a lengthened interview yes terday morning with George Thompson, Esq., M.P., and Sir Joshua Vv'elmsley, M.P., regarding the practical benefits which would result from the withdrawal of all legislative protection to game. Mr. Thompson, being fully impressed with the importance of the subject, agreed that he would, at subsequent meetings o n Financial Reform, impress upon his audiences the social and economical evils arising from the game laws, an d t h e urgent necessity that existed for their repeal. Art inter view was also had with the Right Hon. Edward Elli ce M.P. for Coventry, who, to a considerable ext ent , agreed with the views of the Association as to the social evils resu lting from legislative protection to game.—Scotsman of Wednesday.

At day-light on the morning of Saturday the 4th August, the further ascent of the river was prosecuted and the town of Paku destroyed. The steam- tender was prevented from reaching this spot by the immense trees which extended across the narrow and tortuous stream, in ascending which the men-of-war boats had to ho carried over or depressed under the various natural and artificial barriers that existed every few yards. She then returned to a village a few hundred yards lower down the stream, and destroyed it and a large prahu secured on its banks. Commander Farquhar hearing guns, dis patched the Nemesis's cutter with orders to lie by the steamer during the night. She, however, com menced the descent the same evening, steam being up, and reached the Nemesis at nine on Sunday morning, with one European killed and two wounded, bringing intelligence of the death of the two sons of the Orang Kaye of Lundu, two of the bravest of the native chiefs, who had been cut to pieces by the pirates on their first landing in the jungle off the late piratical settlement of Paku. The boats returned from Paku on the morning of the 7th, and it was deter mined by Sir James Brooke to ascend into the Sarebas territories by the Rejang. The Nemesis then pro ceeded to the mouth of that noble river and wooded, and was joined by the native boats on the 9th. On the 11th, sufficient wood having been procured, we commenced the ascent of this river, and proceeded upwards until the 14th, when we anchored off the Kanawit river. On the 16th, the European boats, small steamer, and native prahus were dispatched to ascend this river, which occupied two days, and the whole of the settlements on either side were totally destroyed. A few prisoners were secured, but the major part of the inhabitants betook themselves to the covert of the dense jungle. Amongst the captives taken up this riven was a child, whose perfectly white skin and fair hair would induce the belief that it was of European extraction. This little innocent will be brought up amongst the small family of orphans under the charge of the lady of the Rev. Mr. M'Dougall, the excellent missionary resident at Sarawak. On the evening of the 18th the Rance returned to us with several men sick with fever, and one poor fellow with a barbed spear through him, which it was found impossible to extract with safety, and which was therefore filed off level with the back; very slight hopes are entertained of his re covery. The native and European boats, the former laden with goods recaptured from the Sere has Dyaks, rejoined us on the succeeding morning. At noon we were again under weigh, and at 4 P.M. anchored abreast of the Poi, the natives of which place had been aiding and abetting the Sarebas men in their predatory excursions, but as the chiefs promised to . refrain from 'connexion with the Sarebas pirates in future, the town was spared, Sir James - Brooke fining them and taking one of their principal men as a 1 hostage, and also bringing away some brass guns,. All having been amicably arranged, on the morning I of the 22d we started on our return, and were some what alarmed oa arriving off the Kanawit for the I safety of the steam-tender and gig which had been left here, but during `.he day we discovered them proceed- ! ing downward s . O n arr i v i ng at R e j ang a supply of wood was speedily procured, and on the 24th Sir James Brooke?, who had quitted his native boat and embarked on board of us, was landed at Sarawak. Mr. Crookshank, who had joined us up the Rejang off Kanawit, brought intelligence of an attack of the Sakarrans on a fishing village at the mouth of the Moratabas, and of the murder of five of its inhabi tants, several others being seriously wounded. He also communicated the pleasing news that the Mwander had been seen by him off Tanjong Po, and all were most anxious to welcome Captain Keppel to the scene of his former exploits ; but the expectation of seeing him was soon put an end to by the intelli gence that the Meander had sailed for Singapore. Such are the particulars of this most successful expedition, in which a steamer, steam-tender, and seven men-of-war boats, with a European force of less than 150 men, and the small band of native auxiliaries, totally destroyed a piratical squadron consisting of upwards of 100 large prahus, manned by not less that fifty men each. They fearlessly ascended for days into a country unknown to them, tracking the evil-doers to their inland haunts, and destroying their houses and ill-gotten treasure. Commander Farquhar and the officers under him proved themselves worthy representatives of the noble service to which they belong, by the courage, coolness, and perseverance with which they followed out their dangerous, severe, and exhausting labours, and the Nemesis added another to the daring and successful exploits for which she has become celebrated in maritime annals. The rewards which are due to skill and bravery will no doubt be awarded in ample measure. The cases of fever on board the Nemesis and Alba tross are, we learn, numerous. This, however, was to be expected, since thirty-two days in open boats, subjected alternately to heavy rains and a scorching sun, are more than sufficient to produce disease in climates more healthy, and more congenial to Eu ropean constitutions, than that experienced in Bornean rivers.

THE EXPEDITION AGAINST THE SAKARRAN AND SAREBAS PIRATES. We make the following extract from the Singapore Free Press, of the 7th September, giving a detailed semi- official account of the expedition against the Sakarran pirates, of which accounts arrived in Eng land some time since : By the arrival here of her Majesty's brig Albatross and the Hon. Company's steamer Nemesis, we are enabled to lay before our readers a more detailed account than that given some weeks ago of the pro ceedings of his Excellency Sir James Brooke, and the small naval force co-operating with him, and which has resulted in cutting up a formidable piratical fleet, and in quenching the power of the pirates for a time. It is to be hoped that this severe lesson will enforce the exhortations to a peaceable and industrious course of life which now, as on ma n y previous occasions, have been addressed to the pirati cal tribes by Sir James Brooke ; and if they are shown, by the occasional appearance of our vessels of war on their coasts and rivers, that they are watched, they may perhaps in time be convinced that it is now impossible any longer to follow their lawless and blood-thirsty pursuits without retribution overtaking them for every act of outrage and rapine they commit. The Meander, Captain ,the Honourable H. Kep pel, not having arrived, it was determined to pro ceed with the available force. Early on the morning of the 24th of July the Nemesis started with her Majesty's brig Royalist and the Meander's steam tender Ranee in tow. The boats of her Ma jesty's brig Albatross quickly followed, and the pic turesque banks of the Sarawak echoed and re echoed with the cheers given only as British seamen can to their departing messmates. The European force anchored that night off the mouth of the Moratabas, and consisted as follows : Her Majesty's ship Royalist, Lieutenant Everest, with twelve 12 pounder brass guns, and one 12 pound howitzer. Honourable Company's steamer Nemesis, T. Wal lage, Esq., commander : two 32-pound traversing guns, four 6 pound brass guns, and two 3-pound rocket tubes. Boats of the Albatross—Gig, Commander Far quhar (in command of the squadron) : one 11- pound swivel gun and ten men. Pinnace, Lieute nant Brickwell (second in command) : one 12- pound howitzer, one 11-pound howitzer, and twenty two men. Cutter, Lieutenant Wilmshurt : 12 pound light brass howitzer, one 3 pound rocket tube, and fifteen men. Boats of the Nemesis—No, 1, paddle-box boat, Mr. Williams, 3 pound brass gun and nineteen men from Albatross; No. 2, Mr. Goodwin, 3-pound brass gun, and nine men ; cutter, Mr. Alexander Baker, one 3-pound brass gun and eight men. Royalist cutter, Lieutenant Everest, one 3-pound brass gun, one 3 pound rocket tube, and fifteen men ; and Ranee, Mr. E. W. Baker, engineer in charge, one 6 pound rocket tube, one swivel gun, and seven men. His Excellency Sir James Brooke and the Sarawak flotilla joined company during the night. Next morning, the Royalist, Ranee, and European boats i ere taken in tow by the Nemesis, and reached the entrance of the Sakarran river at five P.M. The boats then anchored in line across its mouth, whilst the Nemesis proceeded up the river with Royalist to leave her off the Linga branch, and, having accomplished this she returned early on the morning of the 26th, and took the boats in tow, and proceeded towards the Sarebas, off which she anchored at 3 P.M to await the arrival of the native force. On the 28th intelligence was re ceived that a large force of upwards of 100 prahus were out from Sarebas, in the direction of the Re jang, with the intention, it was supposed, of attacking he town of Siriki. All were now on the alert. Sir James Brooke and part of the native force anchored off the Kaluka, and the other detachment at the mouth of the Sarebas, the Nemesis in the bay be tween the two rivers, and the men-of-war's boats in line shoreward. In this position all remained until the evening of the 30th, when tidings were brought that the pirates had attacked Palo, and after threaten ing destruction to the inhabitants unless they fur nished them with salt, had gone to a river named Si blaring, where they were then lying. On the evening of the 31st the Ular, one of the scout boats, arrived with the intelligence that the pirate fleet was advancing in full force. In about fifteen minutes all were in motion to meet them, the Nemesis proceeding seaward to command them, and prevent their escape to sea. As soon as she was descried by the pirates, they made at once for the Kaluka river, where their progress was intercepted by the native boats, and those commanded by Lieutenants Wilmshurst and Everest. The pirates then, as a dernier resort, made a dash to reach their own river, when they came in immediate contact with the men of-war boats, and the action became general. It was now dark, and the great danger was that of firing into each other, or into ourna tive allies. The pass-word selected was "Raja," and the Maylays screamed this out at the top of their voices when they thought any of the Europeans were near them. Commander Farquhar, who directed the operations, was in the midst of the melee, giving orders and exhorting the crews of the various boats to be careful, and not to fire into each other, and several of those present, from their age and service capable of giving an opinion, state that they never in any boat actions saw firing so rapid and destructive. Two large prahus were seen by the commander es caping seaward, and the steam tender was ordered to chase ; the nearest one, having barely escaped one of her six-pound rockets, made for the river and met a pirate's Loom. The Nemesis, which had been dealing death and destruction to all around her, ran her down, and the scene which took place as her crew, above sixty in number, came in contact with the paddle-wheels, beggars all description. A large congreve rocket from the little steamer entered the prahu that had continued out to sea, and rendered her destruction complete. A signal was now made to close, and the scene as witnessed from the bridge of the Nemesis was most exciting. It was evident from the first that the day was our own, but a rapid, running fire was still kept up along the margin of the bay. This having gradually subsided, at 12 30 on the morning of the Ist of July, Commander Farquhar ordered the boats of the various ves sels in tow, and having sent the Ranee with dispatches to Sir James Brooke, then in some part of the Kaluka river, we commenced the ascent of the Sarebas to prevent escape by the Rembas branch. In doing so we were deprived of a sight which all state took them by surprise. At daylight the bay was one mass cf wreck, shields, spears, and portions of destroyed prahus extended as far as the eye could reach; whilst on the sandy spit, which extends a considerable distance seaward on the left bank of the Sarebas, were upwards of seventy prahus, which the natives were busy clearing of all valuables, and de , stroyiog.
