We would remind the public that all TEA, bad or good, the be,t or the most worthless, pays an uniform duty of 2s. 2 qd. per lb., and is necessarily subject to equal charges for freight, porterage, wharfage, dock dues, &c., consequently the commonest is much heavier taxed. in proportion to its real or marketable value, than either the medium or tile finest class Teas. Thus, common Congou costs in Canton only 7.1. to Bd. per lb., but before it reaches the English consumer it pays in duty and charges No less than 400 per cent. ; the medium class Tea, which costs 12(1. to ltd. per lb., aver ages in duty and charges not more than 200 par cent. ; whilst the finest class Teas, whicircost in China four times the price of the commoner, ptky no more than 100 per cent. It must be apparent tha - , wi h a fixed charge of 2s. Gd. per lb. upon all Tea, mere price alone is no criterion of either good value or cheapness ; and we espe cielly direct the attention of those who are solicitous to economise their expenditure that they voluntarily tax themselves double or quadrup'e what they have any necessity for doing by purchasing inferior Tens.

BIRMINGHAM, OCT. 3l.—At Gloucester and Worcester markets, on the 26th, there was an increased supply of wheat from the farmers, and the trade ruled dull. We had rather more doing in foreign, but at some reduction in price. Barley unaltered in value. Oats were taken in limited quantities, at previous rates. Beans the turn cheaper.

The supply of fat beasts to-day was about the average, both as regards the quality and number; the best things were in request, while those of an inferior quality were a slack sale.

The day's market was thinly attended. Wheat and flour under went no notable change, although sales were slow. Barley, home-grown, of fine quality, brought the ex treme rates. Oats, oatmeal, beans, and peas unchanged. Indian corn is held beyond the views of buyers, which checks sales.

THE FRENCH FLEET.— We announced ,yesterday the departure of the French fleet from Torbay, at four, p.m., Tuesday. On that day the French ad miral's ship was boarded by Lieutenant Westbrook, in command of the revenue-cruiser Stag. On Wed nesday they passed close to Salcombe harbour, stand ing to the eastward, and at four, P.M., put back into Torbay, and anchore3, the wind being westerly. Captain Chads C. 13 , returned to his duties at Portsmouth from leave, on Wednesday, coming up from Plymouth in the Sprightly. Dr. Henry F. *Williams, M.D. , late of the Royal Navy, has (since he resigned his employment in the Ajax steam-guard ship, at Queenstown) received a very lucrative and honourable appointment at Calcutta. Caradoc, late Holyhead, packet-steamer, was tried on Wednesday (having previously taken on board 18 tons of coal), along the measured mile in Stokes Bay, to test her speed, to see what difference there would be in wFkisig tiorfarstAes with.=tom boiler iusteati of two. The two boilers now occupying nearly all her stowage, in her present state, she_ can only carry a little more than one day's consumption of coal; by re moving one boiler she would carry six days' supply. She was tried on Wednesday, using both boilers, when she made a mean speed of 13 nautical miles and ono-tenth. By using the steam of one boiler only, she made 11 two-tenth miles—the latter speed being very fast, and much superior to any of the English steam-packets now in the Mediterranean. Captain She did not return firm of Seaward a li n e d n c d e o r m s o p n a nayn wentM r . B outr u n i e n t te, her.o f th e into harbour till after five o'clock.

Like the Mariner, which arrived here on Tuesday, the Cambrian had north-west winds in the parallel of the north east trades, and in consequence made a very unusual home passage to the east of the Western Islands. The Cambrian has brought a few invalids from the Eist India squadron. At T r i ncoma lee she received the boatswain of the hulk Sapphire, Mr. Burnett, with his wife and four children. Mr. Burnett died a few days after embarkation. The crew of the Cambrian are healthy ; she has been out upwards of three years; the majority of the officers who have left her have gone on promotions. Since her present commission (sth August, 1847) there have been no courts-martial or courts of in quiry ; only 23 cases of corporal punishment have occurred, and 10 of these took place during the ab sence of the Commodore, when doing duty as Com mander-in-Chief. The Cambrian will go up harbour to-day to be paid steam-vessel Pluto, 4, off ; her unserviceable stores Lieutenant- Commander W. eKu.aseltoullfiff,e Africa. will be returned, and she will not be dismantled. only Her Majesty's came in yesterday after arrivedratAhscension the 26th, and after noon from the Left Cabenda Bay arrived at Goree on the 10th , left the 22d of August ; 3 the t n Bth f of A August, ngnst, and left the sth of Septemb er ; and ed sa i led d a th L e e o l n l e th the f • September.

SUSPECTED MURDER. Considerable excitement has prevailed amongst the numerous officials and employes at the General Post office since Sa'Airday last, in consequ ence of the dis appearance of Mr. Joseph Harris , one of the inspec tors belonging to that establishm ent (a brief account of which appeared in our paper of yesterday). The circumstances attending the case are of such an un accountable character as to warrant the supposition that he has been made away with. It is not a little remarkable that ever s ince the diabolical att em pt was made to murder Mr. Cureton, in Aldersgate-street, by placing an instrument round his neck, Mr. H arr i s ' has felt some alarm for his own safety, and h as fre quently co nversed with his friends concerning the little difficulty a band of ruffians would have in de priving a fellow-creature of life, wer e th ey prov id e d with such an instrument. The following notice was yesterday circulated amongst the City an d metropoli tan police, with instructions that every i nqu i ry s h ou ld be made respecting the case : . 13ow-street, Police-office, Oct. 31. About 9 o clock, A.M., on th e 26t h i nst., Mr. Joseph Harris, an inspector of th e G enera l Post-office, disap peared from th . e neighbourhood of th e G enera l Post office. St. Mart in's le-Grand. He may have some papers iu his possession relating to business connected with the above-named office. He is 37 years of age, 5 feet 3or 4 inches high, small features, fair complexion, blue eyes, light brown hair, and no whiskers. He had on black dress suit, black satin sto c k, Lingcloth shirt, with linen f ro nt and wristbands. There were pearl studs with black edges in his shirt front, and a false collar. He had a merino under shirt, the sleeves of which were cut at the wrists to shorten them. His stockings were cotton, and his boots were Wellingtons, with very narrow toes and high heels. lle had a silk Paris hat, supposed name of maker 'Smith, lioupel-street, Blackfriars-road.' He had with him a red and buff' silk handkerchief. His style of dress was very neat, and his linen was not marked. Ho had in his possession an ivory -handled penknife with SECULAR EDUCATION. On Wednesday a " Conference" toe place in tha MoChanics' Institution, Manchester, for promoting " a generarsYstetri of secular instruction, maintained by local rates and managed by local authorities." Up wards of 350 persons were present. The following was handed to us as a list of some of the persons present :—Mr. R. Cobden, M.P. ; Mr. J. B. Smith, M.P.; Mr. Brotherton, M.P. ; Mr. W. Hargreaves, Mr. W. E. Hickson, the Rev. R. Thorp, Rector of Burton Overy, near Leicester ; the Rev. W. F. Walker, Oldham ; Mr. W. U. Forster, Raw don-hill, Leeds • the Rev.

Mills, and Mr. J. Brooks, Ashton-under-Line ; the Rev. A. Macdonald, Mr. W. Fisher, jun., and Mr. R. Soliy, Sheffield ; Dr. Satterthwaite, Tuiketh-hall, Preston ; Mr. J. S. Smith, Halifax.; the Rev.

Armitage, Rev. J. R. Beard, Rev. W. M'Kerrow, Mr. G. Wilson, and Dr. J. Watts. Mr. HENRY, M.P., said that in consenting, at the request of the committee of the Lancashire Public School Association, to take the chair on the present important occasion, he had. to express his regret that the office had not been confided to abler and more ex perienced hands. He had called the meeting an im portant one, and he had no doubt they would agree with him in considering it peculiarly so, whether they looked at the astonishing progress which the Lanca shire plan of education had made in the public mind since it was first proposed, about three years ago—to the encouragement which had thereby been given to continued and increased efforts—or to the cheering hope which it held out that the advent of a recogni tion by the Legislature of a national system of secular instruction, maintained by local rates, and under the management of local authorities, elected by the rate payers, was not so distant as some of its friends might imagine.—(Cheers.) After briefly describing the objects of the meeting, the Chairman said,—lt was thought that, by those changes, and by availing themselves of the advantages of that strength which lay in union, the great object of establishing a na tional system of education, in which all persons might unite, would be more readily effected, that the prin ciples which they advocated were founded in com mon sense, and in a sincere regard. for the improve ' meat of the social, moral, and religious condition of the people. Mr. SAMUEL Lucls, of London, stated that the Lancashire Secular Education Society arose in the autumn of 1847, and was formed by some gentlemen who objected to the minutes of the Council of Edu cation, then just. published, and :wished to -agree _ _ upon a plan of education which should be open — to irrespective of creed and class. These gentlemen were of opinion that the people who paid fur the support of the schools should locally control them, and, whilst they admitted Mat a central authority was requisite to regulate the schools, they contended that this authority should be elected. A scheme bared on these principles was propounded in July, 1847, and the first public meeting in its support was held in Manchester in January, 1848. Again, in March, 1849, another public meeting was called,in Manchester to ascertain whether the plan had the support of the public. On that occasion the decision was against the scheme, because the Church party exerted itself to obtain the attendance of its friends at the meeting. That defeat, however, only stimulated the friends of secular education to fresh exer tions, and one of the results of those exertions was the present meeting. Some friends of secular educa tion wished the question to be left to voluntary exer tions ; but to prove the inadequacy of that resource it was only necessary to state that the provision for education in Manchester was less now than in 1835. In 1835, when the population of Manchester was 200,000, the number of children under education was 20,000 ; now, with a population of 300,000, the num ber of children under education was only 25,000. On the 12th of December, 1849, a conference took place in Manchester, which was well attended, but not so numerously as the present. At the beginning of the year the committee of the society thought the time had arrived when the public feeling in Manchester should be again tested on the subject of secular education. Accordingly a public meeting was held in the Town-hall on the 28th of March last, and on that occasion a triumphant majority declared in favour of the plan. Subsequently a petition signed by 6,000 inhabitants of Manchester, in support of the scheme, was sent to the louse of Commons. The feeling in favour of the plan continued to spread, and the Manchester committee received letters from dif ferent parts of the country expressing a desire that the local should be converted into a national move ment. In consequence of the receipt of those com munications delegates had been summoned from various parts of the country to declare whether the localities which they represented would contribute their share of labour and money to the promotion of the cause, for on those terms alone the Manchester men would consent to convert their local association into a national one. Mr. A. WATKIN, after declaring that Mr. Lucas was the parent of the scheme which they had assem bled to promote, moved the following resolution: — 'That the Lancashire Public School Association be resolved into a society to be called the ' National Secular School Association,' for the establishment by law, in England and Wales, of a gereral system of secular in struction, to bP maintained by local rates, and under the management of local authorities specially elected by the ratepayers." Mr. Alderman WESTON, deputy from Birmingham, seconded the resolution, and expressed an opinion that the people of Birmingham would support a scheme of national secular education on the principles laid down by Mr. Lucas. Mr. COBDEN saw no reason why the original name of the association should be changed. The society was first called the " Lancashire Public School So ciety ;" it was now proposed_to call it the " National Secular School Association." He knew that all that was intended was to imply that there was nothing sec tarian in the scheme ; but the word " secular" meant something more than unsectarian. He had sent for " Johnson's Dictionary "—(A laugh)—and found " secular" explained as meaning " not spiritual, re lating to the affairs of the present world, not holy," worldly. Now, he thought the association was not unspiritual. It did not deserve the name of " irreli gious. The society sought to remove ignorance, which was the parent of vice, and therefore it would promote religion in its widest form. It would be un wise to give their opponents an opportunity • of saying that their scheme was not religious, and therefore he suggested that the society should call itself the " Na tional Public School Association." Several members of the committee expressed their willingness to adopt Mr. Cobden's suggestion. Mr. J. B. SMITII, M.P. said it would be necessary , also to substit u t e t h e word unsectarian" for " secu lar," in the body of the resolution. Mr. HonvoxE protested against their being bound by Dr. Johnson's obsolete definitions.—(A laugh.) For his part, he liked the word "secular" better than that of " unsectarian," the meaning of which it was diffi cult to define. The Rev. Mr. IPKEitstow hoped that the discussion on this point would be postponed until the course of proceeding marked out by the committee bad been followed out. Mr. R. Solly, delegate from Sheffield, and Messrs. Barker and Heaton, delegates from Leeds, pronounced in favour of the plan, but declared they had no autho rity to state what amount of money their representa tives would provide for carrying out the desired object. The Rev. Mr. BACON (Independent), of Newhaven, Connecticut, said that the common school system of New England was identical with that which the present association sought to establish. The Rev. R. TROUP, Rector of Burton Overy, near Leicester, said it was evident that the last speaker had been educated in the common schools of A me rica,. and the result had been the acquisition on his part ~t much common sense ; he hoped that Mr. Cobden would apply his practical sense to carry this queston through the House of Commons.—(Applause.) The principles which the association w ished to establish were secular education, local fundr, and local ..manage ment.it Of those principles he app roved, and they were good for Lancashire, they were good for his county, Leicester. As a delegate from the town of Leicester, he could promise that the people there would cordially co•operate with the Lancashire com mittee. Dr. Noak, of Leeds, was the first person Mr. H. GASKELL expressed himself to the same effect, ss did Mr. FOSTER, of Leeds. M-. Cotaneei said he did not intend - to make a speech on the subject of national education on this oc casion, hut only to touch on one or two points. First, he had no hidden motive in proposing to substitute the word " pub'ic" for "secular" in the resolution. All he wished was to avoid the appearance of hostility to religious instruction. It had been suggested that he should propose the question in the House of Com mons ; but that would ha interfering with Mr. Fox, who had already taken up the subject. When that gentleman proposed his plan last year. he was listened to so patiently that ha (Mr. Cobden) began to think his Bill would be carried. When, however, the mea sure came on for the second reading it was met w ith a burst of exclamations about irreligion e nd i n fief e Is which was perfectly astounding. That was fie queutly the way in which persons were met in the House of Gem - lions. No one now said we could have to , muc h education; but that was once said. As to these who contended we were en educated people, he would not argue with them. Examine an egricultural labourer, and he would not know the name of the next parish but one. The present educational system was avow edly defective, and that now proposed for adoption was the only one on which great numbers were likely to be brought to agree. He hoped that the Dissenters who stood by the voluntary principle - would soon see the necessity of joining theme Volun taryism in religion he approved of, but voluntaryism in education was indefensible. lie wanted to rate the property in the dark agricultural districts fOr the pur poses of education. In by far the great mejority of cases the landed_ proprietors in parishes were absentees. Ho wanted to tax their property.—(Applause.) The proprietors would never educate the people volun tarily. Talk not of the burden Ma tax for education. If we bad schools in every parish we should want fewer gaols and barracks. It was disgraceful that a network of military establishments should be spread over the country because we were afraid of the dense mass of ignorance prevailing in it. A rate for edu cation would be a profitable outlay. This was not a party question, and probably would not be made one. It rested on common sense and justice, and he hoped there would he found men to carry out the great object. He looked to the young men for this. It was they who must maintain rivalry in the coming time with the world, and especially with the young giant of the west—America. Men . were wanted to canvas for money—that was the best way of obtaining your object. A man required to be convinced before he parted with his money, and when he did that he became one of the most zealous of proselytes, and was hlways Seeking to procure other converts. In con clusion, he promised that whilst he had health and strength he would devote his best energies to the fur therance of this great object.--(--Cheers.} - Mr. BARKER, of Leeds, gave his definition of se cular education, and thought that some declaration of the opinion of the meeting on that point ought to be given. After some further controversy it was proposed that the amendment should be withdrawn; but Mr.FORSTER said, that if the word unsectarian should not be adopted, an opinion would go forth that the society was an irreligious one. He would withdraw his amendment, but at the same time must request that his name be withdrawn from the list of the com mittee. The resolution with Mr. Cobden's alteration of the name of the society, was then agreed to. Mr. SMILES proposed the second resolutioh e That the branches of the Lancashire Public School Association, the Landon Working Mcn's Association for National Secular Education, and the asSocrations and committees which have been formed . to promote he same object, in Birmingham, Leeds, Leicester, Sheffield, Hud dersfield, Halifax, Coventry, and other places, .be invited to resolve themselves into branches of the National Secu lar School Association." He suggestsd that the association should imitate the conduct of the Anti-Corn-law League, by sending lecturers through the co u ntry and publishing tracts. Mr. JEVONS seconded the resolution ; which was carried: A delegate from Birmingham wished to know whether each locality would have its own staff of agitators ? Mr. APKEttaow said it was intended that each lo cality should have its own committee in communica tion with the central one. The third resolution was as follows : " That the following gentlemen, t , gether with the executive c9mmittee of the Lancashire Public School Association, ba a general committee for taking the mea sures rendered necessary by this change; and that the executive committee of the Lancashire Public School Association be requested to continue their functions, as the executive of the National Secular School Association, with power to add to their numbers." [Here followed a list of names.] It was moved by Dr. Satterthwaite, seconded by the RWV. P. Brewster, and agreed to. Another resolution, pledging the delegates to pro mote the objects of the society in their different loca lities, was adopted. Mr. FORSTER retracted the withdrawal of his name from the committee. After thanks had been voted to the chairman the meeting separated. In the evening the delegates dined together at the Albion Tavern. THE ROMISH BISHOPS. It is with feelings of pleasure that we publish the following official letter, with reference to the sup posed sanction of Government to the steps recently taken by the Pope. It was addressed to a gentleman in this city : " Downing-street, Oct. 28, 1850. " am directed by Lord John Russell to in form you, in answer to your question whether a list of Roman Catholic prelates contained in a newspaper is correct, that he has no other means of judging than you have yourself—namely, by reading the bull of the Pope in the newspapers. "To the second question, Whether the creation of the above Popish bishoprics, or the appointments thereto, have received the sanction and approbation of her Majesty's Ministers ?' lam directed to answer that they have not received such sanction and appro bation. " I am directed further to state that Lord ➢Tinto, when in Rome, was not consulted on this measure, and never gave any countenance to it. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your obedient servant, —Exeter Flying Post. " R. W. Gaar. THE STATE LIVERIES. arc., FOR THE LORD MAYOR ELECT'. Yesterday the gorgeous state dresses for the ser vants, &c., of Mr. Alderman Musgrove, the Lord Mayor elect, and As hich have been manufactured by Messrs. 11. and D. Nicoll, were exhibited to the pub lic at their establishment in Regent-strt'et, and from their matchless splendour attracted a large assemblage of specta'ors throughout the day. They consisted of coats for the coachman and six footmen, of a beautiful emerald green, with white waistcoats and continua tions ; the whole profusely, though chastely, deco rated with gold embroidery, gold lace and braiding, massive aigulettes of the same material depending from the shoulder of each coat. The postilion 'a jacket is, if possible, more rich and tasteful than tl • preceding, as, in addition to the embroidery, &c., arranged according to the beautiful design of pine fruit and leaves, which prevails in all the garments, the shoulders are surrounded with massive gold wings, and from the waist depends a deep bullion fringe. On the right arm is a badge, with the arms of the Lord Mayor elect, surmounted with the crest—a lion rampant; and beneath, the motto "Nil desperandum," the whole elaborately embroidered. The trumpeters' uniform (for the first time) have been constructed expressly for the occasion. The colour is brilliant scarlet, the collars are adorned with the City arms embroidered, surrounded with a wreath of laurel in gold, while down the fronts are laurel branches in gold embroidery, most elaborately exe cuted at the expense for workmanship alone of no less than 401. per coat. The state livery hats for the coachman and foot man, with the cap for the postilion, were yesterday also displayed at the establishment of Messrs. Barber and Son, of the Royal Exchange, the manufacturers. Their design in respect to the decorations particularly is novel as well as chaste and elegant. The extreme edges are bordered with a deep fringe of rich black ostrich feather trimmings, relieved by a splendid broad gold lace, terminating in bullion tassels. Thu hats are looped up with chain enclosing the crest, a emerald n er rampant i i ne lv m e. b t roidery, relieved by a stripe of bl elaborateackN'elyornaments of et, l)ut co lour surmounted by a large solid crest, t h i s ) e i ( n nearly u i n embroidery. concealedc.old lace, and it is s a rfins o'f the The whole of the state at tire is admitted by all to surpass all which has bceu previously witnessed.
