ALL who prize a delicious Cup of really fine COFFEE are invited to purchase from the Establishment of SIDNEY and HALL, No. 8, Ludgate-hill. The New Duties came into operation on Saturday, Bth of June, from which day we haive reduced TWOPENCE to FOURPENCH per POUND. Black Tea of splendid quality at Three Shillings and Tenpenee Per pound The Tea Market, No. 8, Ludgate-hill. • SIDNEY AND HALL. THE ESTABLISHED TEA MARKET, upon Ludgate-hill, No. S ; SIDNEY and HALL .Proprietors. — A further FALL of TWOPENCE to FOURPENCE per round upon TEAS and COFFE • :S. We have this day lowered Coffees 2d. to 4d. per lb., in consequence of the reduced duties upon Foreign Coffees coming into operation. In the sale of the finest qualities of Coffees, we have long stood pre-emi nent as the largest purchasers in the port of London. We are now enabled to quote the very choicest quality at a price attainable by all classes of society. The nobility, families, and large consumers of Teas and Coffees, are invited to compare the quality and prices of all goods sold at this Establishment with those of any other house in the metropolis. The best selected qualities have invariably distinguished Sidney and Hall, and their present ei.,ensive sale enables them to sell at prices which can only be equalled by the largest wholesale houses. As merchants and• importers of Teas direct froth China, and the proprietors of several extensive businesses in London and the largest provincial towns, Sidney and Hall flatter themselves that they pos sess facilities for really cheap selling, which few can lay claim to, and enable them to state most confidently that their establishment shall maintain its character, as being one of the first and cheapest in London. The importation of Tea is, this season, of unusually good quality; the quantity is also considerably larger than for many previous years, and the anticipation of still larger shipments has had the effect of lowering prices almost to a level with the lowest period in the history of the tea market. ildney and Ball have therefore much satisfaction in announcing a revised scale of prices, and, confident of superior value, they invite comparis on, as the most convincing proof of cheapness and confidence. COFFEES. The Public will please to observe that, owing to the duty upon Foreign Coffees being now only 6d per lb., whereas two years ago it was Is. 3d., we are en)bled to introduce an entirely new class of Coffees to their not Ice,and we feel assured that a trial is all that is requisite to ensure u pprobation. s. d.

HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. The following l'eport, with the evidence on which it is framed, was issued yesterday : The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the present state of the building of the New Houses of Par liament, and to report thereon to the House, have, pur suant to the order of the House, examined the matters to them referred, and have agreed to the following re port : _ Your Committee have examined Mr. Barry, as to the progress already made in the buildings of the New Houses of Parliament, and have endeavoured to ascer tain from him the probable time that will elapse before the whole of the works can be completed, and the period at which the two Houses may be occupied for the trans action of public business. . He has stated to them that, were it urgently required, the Houses, and a certain number of committee-rooms, and other offices, might be prepared for occupation at the commencement of the year 1846 ; but your Committee do not feel themselves justified in affirming that such osupation could take place without inconvenience to the Mitt hers, or impediment to the further progress and satisfactory completion of the building ; and they think it right to observe, that the general arrangements for ventillation cannot be completed till the commencement of the year 1847. Your Committee have examined the Speaker, the Clerk of the House, and the Sergeant-at-Arms, as to various alterations which have been lately proposed in the interior arrangements of the House of Commons, and of some pcirtions of the building immediately adjoining, and have to report that Mr. Barry will be able to adopt several valuable suggestions which the experience of the officers of the House has enabled them to offer, without any increase of the expenditure already authorised. Your Committee have examined various parties as to the course hitherto adopted by Mr. Barry, with reference to alterations of the interior arrangements shown in the plan approved by Committees of both Houses in 1836. They impute no blame to Mr. Barry for, that course. and have every reasan to believe that all the alterations hitherto made have conduced to the convenience and general effect of the building ; but, looking to the mis apprehension that appears to have prevailed as to these proceedings hitherto, they are prepared to recommend that, in future, Mr. Barry should make a half-yearly re port of the progress of the works to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests ; and should also submit to that Board any alterations which may hereafter be deemed advisable, and accompany such report with plans of the alterations proposed. Your Committee further recommend that, as several alterations, entailing more or less expense, have recently been sanctioned by the Government, the Chief Commis sioner of Woods shall, at the commencement of the next session of Parliament, lay upon the table of the House of Commons a statement of the total estimated cost of the building, according to the latest plan approved. Your Committee also suggest that a plan prepared by Mr. Barry under their direction, and exhibiting the pre sent state of the building, and the alterations adopted up to the present time, shall be signed by the Chief Com missioner of Woods, and deposited in the libraries of both Houses. July 4, 1844. SALES BY AUCTIoN. TO BE SOLD, pursuant to a DECREE of the HIGH COURT of CHANCERY, made in a Cause WOOD COCK v.

LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS. The decided superiority of this Medicine over every other itherto offered to the public for the cure of those dreadf ull y p ainful diseases gout, rheumatic gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, &c is so hill y manifested by the increasing sale, and the testimony of thousands in every rank of life, that those who are aware of the ex istence of such a remedy, and have not availed themselves of trying its efficacy, cannot truly be objects of sympathy. The testimonials of the astonishing effects of this medicine are universally accompanied by the fact that no inconvenience of any sort attends its administra tion, but that the patient, without feeling the operation of the medi cine, is universally left in a stronger and better state of health than experienced previous to being afflicted with this disease; and in all cases of acute suffering great relief is experienced in a few hours, and a cure is generally eflbcted in two or three days.

HALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS. DECLARATION OF THE GUARDIANS OF BRENT, DEVON. . —... We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Re bins, one of our parishioners, comenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them); that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts or medicines before taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," and had . prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," have co.npletely cured him, and he is nuw enabled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From ether cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public.

PAUL'S EVERY MAN'S FRIEND is a sure and speedy cure for those annoyances, without causing the least pain or inconvenience, Unlike all other remedies for corns, its operation is such as to render the cutting of corns altogether unnecessary : indeed, we may say, the practice of cutting corns is at all times highly dangerous, and has been fre. quently attended with lamentable consequence, besides its liability to increase their growth. It adheres with the most gentle pressure, producing an instant and delightful relief from torture, and, with perseverance in its application, entirely eradicates the most in veterate eorns and bunions. EXTRAORDINARY TESTIMONIALS. From Dr. Cummins, Lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence at the Aldersgate School of Medicine. Dr. Cummins presents his compliments to Mr. Paul, and begs to inform him that his Every Man's Friend has entirely taken away his Corns, and he has recommended it to several of his friends and patients, and in no one instance has it failed in eradicating both Corns and Bunions., From Dr. Ley, Midwifery Lecturer, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital.

ViNcENT, 120.—Sir David Milne, the Port Admiral at Devonport, has struck his flag on board the Sylph tender, and has hoisted it on board the St. Vincent, 120, Captain Rowley, in Plymouth Sound. Or ders were issued on Saturday morning that the morning and evening gun is to be fired from this ship. Thus our uniform statement respecting the St. Vincent is verified, and those of our contemporaries proved to be unfounded. The St.. Vin cent was never ordered on foreign service, nor was such an order ever contemplated. The Indus, 78, lately paid off at Devonport, will come out of dock to-day. We mentioned a fortnight since that she was to be fitted as an advanced ship. She is preferred to the Malabar. She is a very fine ship, and her late officers and crew give her an excellent character. It is said she stows 70 tuns of water more than the Albion, 90. The Emerald tender, which arrived from Portsmouth on the 11th, with the men belonging to the St. Vincent, who were left behind when that ship sailed, returned to Ports mouth on the 12th, with supernumeraries for the Coiling wood. A survey of seamen and marines takes place at the Royal Naval Hospital, Stonehouse, this day. DOCKYARD.—The following have been superannuated during the past week ;—Richard Hunt and Francis Cann, shipwrights, on 241. each ; George Frood, Stonehouse, la bourer, on 17/. ; and George Harrison, of a mooring lighter, on 201. per annum. ROYAL MARINES. The following promotions and appointments have taken place in the Royal Marine corps, dated the 12th inst. : To be Captain-Ist Lieutenant Peter Trant Murray Payne, of the Chatham division, and appointed to Plymouth division, vice Brevet-Major Mends, deceased. To be First Lieutenant-2d Lieutenant George Drury, of the Portsmouth division, and appointed to the Chatham division, vice Payne. Second Lieutenant John William Collum to the artillery companies of the corps. ' QUOTED PRICES OF ENGLISH WOOL.—It not un. frequently happens that the quoted prices of English wool at Leeds and Bradford are actually lower than the prices quoted for the same wool when sold at the Lei cester wool fairs. The cause of this is, tbat a usage exists at Leicester, which has grown into a rule of the fair, of making a return or drawback on the part of the seller ; so that the price actually paid is less than the nominal and published price. It seems that at the lat fair, on the 26th ult., an increased draw back was asked for by some of the buyers ; whilst the lion. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Chapman stoutly protested against any drawback at all, saying that it was a childish practice, and advocating its abolition. In consequence of their refusal to make the drawback, they did not sell their wool. It is evident that the practice which these gentlemen opposed cannot have the slightest effect on the price actually paid for the wool; if the seller knows he has to make a drawback, he will, of course, ask just so much the more in the first instance for his wool, and, therefore, the drawback might be abolished without making the difference of one farthing either to buyer or seller, whilst it had the advantage of making the pub lished quotations of prices correct and consistent, instead of being incorrect and puzzling„—Leeds Mercury.

The first scenes did not attract muc h applause from the house ; but as the drama pro • ceeded, a livelier spirit seemed to be infused into the performers, which was greatly increased by the appro bation that now proceeded from all sides. The conclu sion of the first act was the seizure of the roaring lions by the old Blue Dragon, w hi c h was well supported by the acting of Messr s . S ear l e an d R o b erts , w h o main tained their characters with great spirit throughout the p i ece . The first scene of the second act, also exhibiting the death of Anthony Chuzzlewit, was well sustained by Messrs. W. Searle and Attwood. Mrs. Gamp's tea party also caused great amusement, especially where she quarrels with her "blessed Betsy Prig." In fact the whole performance was extremely well sustained. SURREY THEATRE. Last night the performance commenced with Bellini's beautiful opera of La Sonnambula, supported by Miss Romer, Miss Betts, Miss Pearson, together with Messrs. Leffler, D. W. King (his first appearance in London), and E. L. Hine. We believe, with the exception of Mr. Kin, there is little of novelty in the cast, but this ex ception we are inclined to look upon as an addition likely to prove of some value to the enterprising manager. The opera was received throughout with applause. The performance was concluded with (for the 13th time) the new melodramatic and aquatic spectacle, entitled The Mountain Cataract. VICTORIA THEATRE. A dramatic version of Martin Chuzzlewit was pro duced at this theatre last evening with very great success. The adapter has followed the novel very closely, and the adaptation does great credit to his talents. The scenes are, in fact, a series of tableaux from Phiz's illus • trations, and are admirably got up. The cast is excel lent. Miss Vincent as young Bailey, and Mr. J. Herbert as Mrs. Sairey Gamp, were first-rate. The Jonas Chuzzlewit of Mr. Osbaldiston, and the Tigg Montague of Mr. James Vining, were also excellent; . while Mr. Dale, as the moral Pecksniff, was the very essence of hypocrisy. The house was, as usual, crowded. GENERAL ANNUITY SOCIETY.—A dinner in aid of die funds of this Society will take place on Wednesday next, at the London Tavern. This Society embraces most important objects. It is formed for the' purpose of affording relief to decayed merchants, bankers, profes sional men, their widows , and clerks, and to single females, daughters of persons belonging to such classes of society. Various as the institutions of this metro polis are, there was not one which existed, until the establishment of this Society, having for its object the relief of these most deserving classes of persons. To assist such, this Institution was established; and the Directors think that its importance and claims upon philanthropy are fully established. It is supported by the leading characters of the commercial metropolis, and a knowledge of its benefits can only be necessary to in sure for it increased support and encouragement. REVIVAL OF REPEAL IN THE UNITED STATES.— The imprisonment of O'Connell has revived the Repeal meet ings with us. Probably, since the last steamer brought the news, about 5,000 dollars or more have been collected from the Irish to help to pay the fine. In two nights, in New York, about 1,500 dollars were collected and accounted for— the amount unaccounted for uncertain. Yet Repeal agitation in the United States cannot last—it is on its last legs. The denunciations of the whole South by the O'Connell men, are the cause of the decay.—New Fork Herald. SUDDEN DEATH OF AN ENGLISHITOMAN.—CALAI S ' JULY 14.—Mrs. Wright , 60 years of age, and her husband came from Boulogne on Wednesday last, to see their grand daughter at school. After spending th e even i ng t h ere i n good spirits, on returning to the hotel she felt unwell, entered a shop, seated herself, and almost instantly expired. Medical men soon attended, but could do no good. She and her hus band had dined at the Hotel de Geneve, and were to have slept there. The landlord, however, refused admittance to the corpse. For the credit of the French, it ought to be overmatched his humanity. £6 17 stated that Mr. Chapius, who keeps the hotel, is an Italian, Per set £l5 13 9 1 . Per set .

" Who runs may read." FOR.A.LCksti. The King and Queen of the French, the Queen of the Bel gians, and the Royal family, arrived at Dreux on the 12th. All the Paris theatres remained closed on Saturday night, that being the anniversary of the death of the Duke of Orleans. The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, to which the fifth election of M. Charles Lafitte for the borough of Louviers was referred, has reported that the offer of M. Charles Lafitte for the branch railway to Louviers having been withdrawn, there is no longer any reason why he should not be admitted to take his seat. The question was expected to come before the Chamber on Monday. The Paris and Lyons Railway Bill, the debate upon which we mentioned several times last week, passed the House of Peers on Saturday with a majority of 75. The quarrel between the Cour Royale and the Council of Advocates has not been adjusted, the Council having resigned in a body. A new election took place, when all were elected by a majority of 496 to 5. A great many members of the Chamber of Deputies, professors, and other members of the profession, long retired from business, attended to give their votes, and among others M. Gerard de Bury, the oldest mem ber of the• French bar, who is now in the 99th year of his age. Accounts from Christiania, of the sth inst., announce that the anniversary of King Oscar's birth-day was observed there with extraordinary rejoicings. The reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, Prince Rupert of Saxe Coburg, and his Royal Consort Princess Cle mentina, have arrived at Vienna on a visit to the Duke Fer dinand of Saxe Coburg. They intend to remain about three weeks in the Austrian capital. LAW AND POLICE. In the Court of Bankruptcy the case of William Bromley was further heard, and adjourned at the bankrupt's expense till the 28th of October. In the course of the hearing the following dialogue took place. Mr. Sturgeon, counsel for Bromley, assured the Court that the bankrupt's property had cost him upwards of 120,0001., the whole of which will come to the creditors. Sir C. F. Williams—l should be very glad if 120,0Q0 half crowns would come to the creditors. Mr. Humphrey, who represented the assignees, here said that there would not be one shilling in the pound. The commission for the Oxford Assizes was opened on the 15th. At ten o'clock, Mr. Serjeant Atcherley took his seat in the Civil Court, and Chief Justice Tindal proceeded to charge the grand jury in the Crown Court at eleven. There are fourteen causes for trial, and the calendar comprises the names of thirty prisoners, who severally stand charged with the following offences :1-Cutting and stabbing, 1 ; horse stealing,:2 ; larceny, 15 ; highway robbery, 2 ; stealing from the person, 3 ; sheep-stealing, .1 ; manslaughter, 1 ; assault on constable and issuing base coin, 2 ; rape, I—the bill is this last case has been ignored by the grand jury. At Bow-street, Mr. Charles Pembroke, of 35, Ely-place, Holborn, was brought up in custody, charged with sending a threatening letter to Mr John Buller Yarde Buller, with in tent to provoke a breach of thepeace. The case was taken in a private room, before Mr. Twyford, who ordered the defendant to put iebail, himself in the sum of 400 L, and one surety in 200 L, to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for twelve months. The bail was found. At Worship-street, four finely-grown, but exceedingly sun burnt young Lancashire women, very neatly and pictu resquely attired, were placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton for final examination. They had been charged on a previous day with singing some dolorous ditty, collecting crowds, and begging in the streets. They stated that they had been em ployed in the coal mines, but were thrown out of bread by an Act of Parliament. The clerk, by direction of the magis trate, wrote to their last employer, to know whether their statement was true, and received an answer, stating that a great number of young women have within these last few months been deprived ob employment by the operation of Lord Ashley's Act for excluding females from coal-mines, and that the statement of the girls was likely toile true. On reading the letter, Mr. Broughton expressed his conviction of the truth of the prisoners' statement, and ordered a suffi cient sum of money to be given to each of the girls from the office poor-box to carry them comfortably to their native place. The prisoners expressed their gratitude in the warmest terms for the magistrate's kindness, and promised to set out immediately on their journey home. COVlZT—rassrazzan 3 6 33 . The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge honoured the Mar quis and Marchioness of Salisbury with their company at dinner last evening, at his Lordship's mansion in Arlington street. Among the distinguished personages who were in vited to meet their Royal Highnesses were—the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, the Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, the Marquis and Mar chioness of Ailesbury, the Marchioness of Londonderry, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, the Earl and Countess of Brown low, &c. The Marchioness held a reception at a later period of the evening, which was attended by nearly four hundred members of the aristocracy. The Earl of Cardigan has subscribed the sum of 1001. to wards a new church at East Ardsley, near Wakefield. Viscount and Viscountess Emlyn have left town for St. Leonard's-hill, near Windsor, on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Harcourt. • A marriage, it is said, will soon take place between the Earl of Mulgrave, only son of the Marquis of Normanby, and Miss Russell, niece of the Doviager• Duchess of Cleveland. Viscount Cranbourne, eldest son of the Marquis of Salis bury, after a lengthened tour in Italy and the South of France, has arrived in London. The Earl and Countess of Jersey have issued cards for a grand entertainment on the 27th instant to her Royal High ness the Duchess of Gloucester. The Earl of Chesterfield left Chesterfield House yesterday, for Hooton Hall, on a visit to Sir W. Massey . Stanley during the Liverpool races. The Countess remains in town. The Countess de Salis and Miss de Salis leave in a few days for Switzerland, where her Ladyship purposes to stay some time. BILISCIELLIIIVEOI7S. On Monday the usual annual fancy fair and fete champetre in aid of the funds of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum took place on the grounds of the Asylum, under auspices of the most cheering description. The quarterly meetings of ironmasters were held during the past week as usual ; there was less previous anxiety as to the result either with respect to demand or prices than is usually the case. During the last quarter the trade has been in a healthy state, the demand steady, and the prices for all description of iron fair and remunerating. The population .of Newfoundland at present amounts to nearly 100,000 souls, altogether of British birth or extraction. They consume annually the produce of other countries to the amount of 800,000/. sterling. They annually export produce in value to one million sterling, and there are employed in its fisheries alone not less than 20,000 active, enterprising, and able- bodied seamen. From all accounts the 12th of July, long notorious in Ire landfor orange outrages, has passed off this year without any disturbances. There were Orange processions in several districts, but generally the usual demonstrations were not attempted. The accounts 'of the weather and crops in the north, and particularly in Scotland, are highly favourable. The weather, says the Fifeshire Journal, is still delightfully dry and warm, and is pushin; forward the crops rapidly. Should the present weather continue, barley would be cut by the middle of August, if not sooner. Better weather for the hay crop was never known ' • the, yield is light, but the best hopes are en tertained of a heavy after -crop. MUSIC. COLOUR MUSIC. By D. D. Jameson. This is a most ingenious attempt to facilitate the acquisition of the art of playing at sight, by substi tuting distinct and definite sensations, which, being , the language of nature, are at once understood, for the arbitrary mnemonics in use. Mr. Jameson, observing the " correlations" which exist between colour and sound, has applied them to the art of teaching music, by giving a separate :colour to each of the keys of an octave . of a pianoforte, so that, in fact, an octave is a prism. Instead of the ordi nary musical notation he employs coloured notes, answering to the coloured keys ; the height of the note indicates the octave , and the length the time — the rests are indicated by the blank spaces. We give the method of teaching in Mr. Jameson's own words : " Teaching by this method is so simple, that there is really hardly any thing to be, described. " The instrument being prepared, the learner- should touch keys of the same colour and height as those on the paper; making their length, in time, on the instru ment, equal to their length in space, on the paper; ac centing according to the intensity of colour; and paus ing for times equal to the blank spaces." The method is so ingenious, and, at the same time so simple, that we are not surprised when we are told , that— " A child, eight years old, who could play the piano forte, but was previously unacquainted with colour music, was taught in two minutes, to play new sound music at sight by it." What Hamilton has done for the acquisition of lan guages—what Wilhem 'has done for the acquisition of vocal music, Mr. Jameson has done for instrumental music. We strongly recommend his system, and wish him that success which his talents and ingenuity so richly merit. Tilt FUNDS—(CL OSING PRICES FUNDS. . BRITISH Baltic Stock . 199* 3 per Cent.

Joseph Farrer, another foreman, stated that whilst he was employed in taking off the floats from one of the paddle-wheels, he saw the deceased, who was in a state of intoxication, come across the deck of the vessel and stand upon the sponson of . the paddle box, where witness was at work. He had not been there above a minute, when by some means his foot slipped and he fell from a height of eight feet into the water and immediately sank. The drags were instantly procured, but the tide running up at the time, upwards of half an hour elapsed before the body could be recovered. Mr. Bains, a surgeon, of Poplar, was promptly in attendance, and for tvi o hours and a half used every means to restore animation without effect. The man had but a few minutes previously to the occurrence sent a message on shore for his wife to come on board to him, and she was on the point of embarking in the boat when the accident took place. The jury retu rned a verdict of " Accidental death. ' DEATH OF THE EARL OF KINTORE.—We regret to say that this nobleman died on Thursday evening, at his residence at Keith-hall. His Lordship has, since the melan choly events that have lately taken place in his family, been in a depressed state of mind. This affected his health, and last season he relinquished his darling amusement—fox hunting, for which he was celebrated in this and the neigh bouring countie3 for many years, and sought to recruit his constitution in the milder air of the Continent. He re turned some time ago, and for a short time had been trying the benefit of the spas of Strathpeffer, but without any ad vantage. The immediate cause of his Lordship's death, we understand, to have been an injury that he had received in t h e c h a se, many years ago, and which, although partially cured, had left effects from which his Lordship never alto gether recovered. His Lordship was accounted the boldest huntsman of the day, and a letter which, some months ago, appeared in our columns, evinces the ardour for the field that animated him, even after he was unequal to the boisterous task. This devotion to the chase formed his Lordship's ex ternal character, and by that, many were apt to judge him. But- few knew the "pearl of price" that was contained within. Few noblemen can boast of equal kind-heartedness and generosity. His tenants idolized him, and, to our knowledge, many a one will now miss the kind hand that, - - unknown to them, sup plied their wants and distributed un- EXTirtAORDINARY SUCCESS or A FAIR.

The last duties to the remains of Dr. Balmer were performed on Tuesday. Before one o'clock the body was removed from his house into the chapel, Golden square, and, at that hour, the members of the congre gation and others, assembled for the purpose of joining in devotional exercises, and improving the melancholy event which had brought them together. Every part of the chapel was crowded, and many were unable to obtain admission. The services were commenced by the Rev. "Mr. Brown, of Dalkeith, who dispensed the Communion to the congregation on the preceding Sabbath. After the first four verses of Psalm 61st had been sung, Mr. Brown read the 90th Psalm, and Ist Thess. ch. iv. from the thirteenth verse to the end. He then offered up a most impressive prayer, amid the tears of many in the chapel, and gave out the first two verses of the 53d Paraphrase, which were also sung. The Rev. Dr. Henderson, of Galashiels, one of Dr. Balmer's earliest college companions with whom he maintained the warmest friendship through life, then delivered a most solemn address to the congregation, in which he feelingly and Skillfully sketched the character of his departed brother, and impressed on the audience the duty of being followers "of him as he also was " a follower of Christ." Verse 4-6 of the fifth third Paraphrase were next sung, when the Rev. Mr. Lee, of Horndean also offered tip a very impressive prayer, and, shortly after two o'clock, the services were con cluded by singing the last two verses of the Para- - phrase and • pronouncing the apostolical benediction. It had been arranged that the funeral procession should move in the fbllowing order :—The pall bearers, consisting of the clergymen cf the town ; the relatives of the deceased ; the elders of the congregation ; the members of the Cold stream Presbytery and other clerical friends who were present ; the trustees and managers of the con gregation ; the male members; toe" female members ; and last, those belonging to other Christian bodies— all walking four a-breast. This arrangement, how ever, was known to those only who had been in the chapel, and, so large was the multitude without who had come to attend the funeral, that to observe it was impossible. The whole line along which the procession moved presented a dense mass of human beings, all anxious to testify their respect to him who, in life, was universally esteemed, and whose loss they deplored. A funeral, so numerously attended, has certainly not taken placehere within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The windows: of the houses along the line of the procession were crowded with spectators, not a few of whom were in mourning and shedding tears of sorrow ; and, though death has removed him from those by whom he was loved and esteemed, and they can see his face cr hear his voice no more—his memory will be hallowed in their recollection. The Rev. Mr. Peden of Church street Chapel, and the Rev. Dr. Brown of Broughton place, Edinburgh, are to officiate on Sabbath in the pulpit which he so long occupied.—BerwickAdvertiser. / I* -- - z-. , ' "4 BUTTER AND CHEESE.—A Bill to repeal the follow ing Acts for regulating the trade in butter and cheese has been brought into the House of Commons:—An Act passed in the fourth year of the reign of King William the Third and Queen Mary, intituled, "An Act to prevent Abuses committed by the Traders in Butter and Cheese :" An Act passed in the thirty-sixth year of the reign of King George the Third, intituled, "An Act to prevent Abuses and Frauds in the Packing, Weight, and Sale of Butter, and to re peal certain Acts relating thereto :" n Act passed in the thirty-eighth year of the reign of King George the Third, intituled, "An Act for amending and rendering more effectual an Act made in the Thirty sixth year of the Reign of his present Majesty', intituled 'An Act to prevent Abuses and. Frauds in the Packing and Sale of Butter, - and to repeal certain Acts relating thereto.' " CONFESSION OF AN INCENDIARY..—Thomas Rust, who has undergone several examinations at Halstead, charged with setting fire to Mr. Nott's premises at Peb marsh on the 6th of April, and Mr. Ball's premises, in the same parish, on the 6th of June, by which property to a considerable amount was destroyed, was on Tuesday finally examined. A number of witnesses were examined, but the tes imony of J. Estall, a vagrant, who had been in the station-house with theprisoner Rust, was the mostim portant. They had occupied cells adjoining each other, and were enabled to hold a conversation. Estall had asked him for what he was in custody ? He replied, " On suspicion of setting fire to a house or barn." He next asked him whether he did it ? He re plied, "I don't know that I did it." After a fur ther conversation, in the course of which Rust ad mitted that he had been transported once already, but had got off after a short imprisonment, and said he sup posed he should be transported now, and sent to Wool wich or Chatham, Estall again asked him whether he had done it or not, to which his answer was, " That he did not rightly know whether he had or not." At tho close of the examination the prisoner, in answer to the charges, said that he was guilty, and he was fully com mitted for trial at the ensuing assizes on both eases of arson, as well as on three charges of larceny. HANOVER-SQUARE Rooms.—A concert was given here, last night, by Messrs. Sivori, Sainton, Hill, and bus- Belot, with a view to perform a series of chamber instru mental pieces—two of the posthumous quartets of Beetftoven being the special features of the undertaking. The quartets alluded to were faithfully played by the four artists, and the scherzo in the one numbered " 13"—a movement full of quaint goblin vagaries—was enthusiastically encored. These posthumous compositions are altogether most singulor in character ; they are essentially Beethovenish—wild, freakish, wailing, grand—scraps of delicious melody ever and anon appearing amid the mysterious and grotesque elements around. They are, from first to last, extremely difficult; requiring the greatest precision on the part of the performers, united with a perfect comprehension of the fantastical spirit which prevails, as well as intense executive feeling. Messrs. Sivori and Sainton assumed the office of first violin in turns. Sivori was brilliant and resolute—Sainton quiet and unobtru sive. Besides the two posthumous quartets, a quartet of Haydn, and a trio by Osborne (an English composer, long resident in France), were given. LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE.—Mr. Wm. E. Ryan, brother of Alderman E. F. Ryan, of this city, fell over the taffrail of the steamer at Lough Dergh, near Killaloe on Wednesday evening, and was drowned. The deceased, when a mere lad, was blown up in his bed, at the awful gunpowder explosion at George's-street, in this city, on the night of the 3d of January, 1837, and most providentially escaped, though in the very focus of death and desolation. He was second son of the late Michael Ryan, Esq., of the old and respectable firm of Edmund Ryan and Sons, provision merchants. — Limerick Chronicle. GALE OF WIND , ._ THUNDER -STORM, AND HAIL STORM.—LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING.—During nearly the whole of Saturday last the rain fell in torrents, flooding the lower part of the town. In the evening it became fair, but the barometer fell to nearly 29, and at eleven the wind began to blow, furiously increasing in intensity till between two and three o'clock, when it blew, as sailors say, " great guns." Great apprehensions were entertained for the safety , of the shipping, several vessels having gone to sea the day before. A fine large packet-ship, the Russell, Glover, laden with a costly cargo, was driven back into Bootle-bay, where it was expected she would have gone on shore, but two steam tug-boats having been sent to her assistance, she was brought into the river on Sunday, at noon, without having received any damage. The tide in the river rose several feet higher than it otherwise would have done, and the dead body of a man was washed ashore by the violence of the waves. On Sunday morningthe barometer gradually rose, and the gale decreased till towaiels evening, when it became quite calm and sunshine. This morning, a little after eight o'clock, there was a thunder-storm, preceded and followed by pelting downfalls of rain, and in some districts hailstones fell thick and large. The storm lasted only about half an hour, and now the atmosphere is bright and clear, although the wea ther does not appear at all settled. FOREIGN POTATOES.—There has been a very large importation of new potatoes this season from Holland, one salesman alone in Spitalfields Market having received as many as 2,103 baskets during the present month. Yesterday three boxes of sweet potatoes from the Bahamas were sold with a collection of pines in the City, and realised mode rate prices of 1/. per box. They are the shape and size of a beet-root, indigenous to those islands, and very produc tive, and should the edible qualities be approved of here, will, in all probability, form a new item of West Indian produce for exportation. DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, the attention of the police constable on duty near Short's-gardens, Drury-lane, was attracted by aloud shriek, which was immediately followed by the fall of something weighty upon the ground. where he perceived a female lying upon the pavement bleeding profusely . from the head, and apparently dying. No time was lost in conveying her to Charing-cross:Hospital, where she was attended by Mr. Charles Golding, one of the house surgeons, who discovered that his patient was labouring under the fracture of both legs, an injury of the spine and head, as also the fracture of several ribs. The unhappy woman, who is a widow, named Mary Ryan, forty years of age, has, it appears, been an itine rant vendor of fruit, and it is stated that distress had caused her to attempt self-destruction by precipitating herself from the attic window of the house, No. 10, Short's-gardens, Drury-lane, where she resided. THE EXHIBITION OF FRESCOS, &C., IN WESTMIN STER HALL.—Yesterday, this exhibition was opened gratuitously to the public, and will continue open to them, with the exception of Saturday, when one shilling will be charged for admission, for six weeks. The num ber of persons who visited it was not very great during the day, and between twelve and one o'clock there were not more than from 100 to 200 persons present. Be tween 3,000 and 4,000 persons visited the exhibition during the day. WEST INDIA PlNES.—Yesterday a novel sale of nearly 3,000 of this fruit took place at the sale-rooms of Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, 2, Monument-yard. They were all in excellent condition, and landed and arrived in London within a month of their shipment from Eleuthera and Nassau, in the Bahama Islands. They were of those, esteemed varieties, the Bird's Eye and Providence, ,and were but little inferior in taste to the best quality of English produc tion. In these islands they form a very large staple culture ; and judging from the results of the sale yes terday, their importation is likely to be of some benefit to tho islands, and supply our tables at a reasonable rate with this esteemed fruit. The price at which they sold were from 2s. to ss. each ; and there eas a brisk competition from fruit salesmen from all parts of the metropolis. Arrangements have been made for a peri odical, annual_ supply from these islands, and three or four shipments are expected during the present season. They are carefully preserved by the leaves ; and; by the new tariff, there is but an import duty of five per cent. FIVE GENERATIONS.—On Sunday last there were present at the baptism of an infant child, at Woodchester Church, his mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother, that is, his grandmother's grand mother, which last had walked no small distance twice to church on that day, hale and strong, and had attended the Lord's tale,.
