Now these teas arc all good of their several kinds, some of them exceedingly fine, and of a quality very rarely to be met with. At one penny per pound profit they will be supplied to the trade and all large consumers, in lots and quantities to suit the most extensive de mands. As will he noticed by the above list, so it is a well-known fact, that the original cost of finest Cungou tea is over 39 taels, or 2s. 2d. per pound, which, with duty added, makes 4s. 4 d. per pound. We have, ever since we began selling teas at Number One, sold this description at 4s. 6d. per pound. Hundreds and thousands of people have tried it, and can vouch for its strength and richness of flavour. Nobody ever finds fault with it, and it pleases every body, because it is both good and cheap. When Government falls the duty, we will fall the price of tea in the same ratio, at Number One, and publish it to the world. All purchasers will be allowed one pound on every 30 pounds as overweight.

Sept. 8. 1846, "Dear Sirs,—l have tried all the lead pencils you forviarded to me, and consider them the best I have ever had; indeed, it is impossible justly to compare them with any others, as t hey possess ualities I never yet found in pencils, amongst which I may name their beau tifhl transparency and clearness. I have not only made use of them myself, but have had them tried by several students in this instita lion, and their excellence is acknowledged by my pupils.

The body of a female has been washed ashore in a state of nudity ; it is believed that she was a cabin passenger, and had been drovined in her berth, but nothing certain is known on that subject at present. About nearly the same moment' the body was found , a fine athletic man was swept off the rocks .and drowned. HP was stretching out with a pole for a shawl that was floating, when a heavy snrge carried him away, and the pabple on shore commenced a piercing cry, and desisted from their labours for some time. The boats came to where he was drowned, but his body was not found. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-)?O USE. George Mills, a seaman, applied a few days ago for a sum mons against Mr. W. Phillips,lof George•yard, Lombard • street, agent of the barque Wanderer, for having detained his register ticket. • The summons having-been granted upon the representa- - tion of Mills, Mr. Phillips attended, and sail he was very glad at being confronted with the accuser, as he should, in all probability, have to change places with him, and appear as a prosecutor. • Mills having deposed that Mr. Phillips held his ticket, the answer was that Mills was hired as steward on board the. barque, to go to China; that he signed articles to that effect' in the usual way, and that he deserted from the ship. Under such circumstances the register ticket was detained. The LORD MAYoa having asked Mills what answer he had to make to that Accusation; said that he had, in consequence of violent illness, absented himself from the ship, but that he had by no means deserted. Mr. Phillips said he had been given to understand that Mills had received two sovereigns upon condition that he would on the voyage pay attention to two Chinese, and that upon being accused of having been guilty of a fraud in taking that for which he never meant to give any value he replied that it was no fraud, it was only a debt. The letter of Captain Priest, the master of the Wanderer, stated as follows I hereby certify that George Mills signed articles on board the Wanderer, on the sth of January, to perform a voyage to China,_ and back to any port in Great Britain, absented himself without leaVe on the 6th 'of January, and 'has !not Once returned to the said barque Wanderer.—" Barque Wanderer, 16th January, 1847. The LORD MAYOR—Then, Mr. Phillips, do you charge this man with the offence of having deserted? Mr. Phillips—l do. I have not only the captain's autho rity, but I know Mills did not take his clothes on board at all. Mills—l admit I signed articles, but I was so ill I could not get back in time. The LORD MAYOR—This is a species of offence which causes the greatest inconvenience to captains of ships, and I shall as an example, send the defendant Mills to the House of Correction for thirty days, and his register ticket shall be annexed to his commitment. Mr. Edward Lucas, of the firm of Lucas and Sons, corn factors, was brought before the Lord Mayor in the custody of a policeman, under the following remarkable circumstances. Mr. Edward Scott, of No. 7, Mount-place, flour-factor, stated that about four months ago I had dealings with the defendant. I bought of him about 148 quarters of peas, for which he gave me a sale note, and an order for the removal of the article. I bought them at 44s per quarter, and he was to be allowed the regular market commission, ho reselling the same, and if I sold them myself he was still to have the commission. The pease was lying at Dondan's granary in Horselydown. It was a time bargain, and a regular market transaction, viz., a settlement at two months, which ex pired on the Gth January. About the 29th or 30th of De cember, I called at the defendant's office, No. 53, East Cheap, and saw his father; and I wrote a note to Messrs. Lucas and Son, expressive of my wish that they should sell the pease on my account, or I would take them at 535., and allow them their commission, to which application 1 received no reply. I served a notice on the clerk to sell the pease, and he gave it to the defendant's father, who, in my presence, gave it to the defendant; and last Wednesday I went to the defendant's stand in the Corn-market, and gave his father a bill of the pease, the defendant's father standing by his side at the time and looking at it. It left a balance of 491. 13s. 9d. in my favour, having tharged them 535. for the pease, which sum I had been offered for them. The father said 1 was a bad man, and walked away. About ten minutes afterwards the defendant and his father were standing by their stand. I was beside them, and a gentleman came up, and I took from my pocket the sale bill which I had received, and held it in my hand for this gentleman to look at, and I asked him if it was not a legal sale note of the market? Whilst the gentleman was reading the paper, the defendant stretched out his hand, tore it from mine, rent it in pieces, and walked away. I requested the gentleman to give me his card, The defendant- came back again, and I asked him what he could say against me, and he said, if you don't wish me to ruin you in the market, be still. I then had no further conversation with the defendant, but I called yesterday and saw him, and asked him to give me the s a l e note, and lie said I had better be off, and if I annoyed him any more, or mentioned it in the market, he would charge the police with me ; and to• day I mentioned it to the police, and gave him in charge. I coald have sold the note at a good profit. The Defendant—l sold the peas at 445. a quarter to the complainant, and he was to refuse cr accept them by the next market day. On that day he did not come, and I in ferred that he would keep them. On the following market day he said ho would keep them, and I frequently asked him for some money on account. He refused to give me any, and I then said that I should consider the contract at an end. I knew he had nothing but that contract, and I snatched it from him, for I had actually sold half the peas at a loss. I admit that I took it out of his hand, but I consider that I was fully justified under the circumstances. The LOAD MAYOR said he considered the conduct of the defendant, in snatching the contract out of the. complainant's hand, completely inexcusable, inasmuch as it was nothing less than the destruction of the evidence against him. What ever the defendant might think of it, the appearance of such a case in the newspaper would be likely to draw forth observa tions from commercial men, not by any means favourable to the person accused. As for the indifferent opinion the de fendant or his friend might have entertained towards the complainant, they certainly had had a commercial dealing with him, and were bound to give him fair play, and it was their own fault if they had transactions with individuals of whom they disapproved. His Lordship thought it would be to the advantage of the defendant to reconsider the course he bad thought proper to pursue, and concluded by requiring Mr. Lucas to enter into his own recognizances in the sum of g a n n i s z " a ' n er ce an t y o appear at the time specified. clooll;itosjarieceahsarnitailtgeniittweilestiroeed'fcelrakdo oanghai?is!myr.ectoo INSTITUTION OF CIVIL EN GINEERS. o n f t tl e e c i h n a s i t r iiution was held on 19eth met., and at the ballot for the Tuesday evening, thelSlrieJaonhnnußalegnenniee,raplremsideetniiti,gi . o ffi cers for the ensuing year r t e : id f e o n ll t o . wi \ i N i 7 g . c g u etit it le t, m J e . n Fielr e elected : Sir John Rennie , p nd J.

Telford medals were presented to Messrs. Barlow, Snell, Harding, IVilliams, Parkes, West, and P.itterbandt ; and premiums of books to Messrs. Turnbull, Heppe', and Ro bertson. Council premium4consisting* . of collections of books, of con siderable value, were presented to Messrs. Barlow, Snell, and Harding, in addition to the Telford medals. It was announced in the annual report of last year that the council intended establishing these premiums, and from their value, and the stimulus they offer to the competitors, it is hoped they will produce good communications for the meetings. Succint memoirs were given of the deceased members, Messrs. Crane, Deville, Handly, and Winsland. The report entered fully into a description of the altera tions of the building sturing the recess. It appeared that in consequence of the resolutions of a general meeting Mr. T. H. Wyatt, architect, was requested to make certain altera tions, and Mr. Grissell undertook their execution. Within the short space of four months these have been completed, and all parts are occupied except the theatre, which is yet too damp. The principal works appeared to be the re modelling of the casement story; putting an entirely new foundation beneath, and partly rebuilding the front wall, which has been cased with Caen stone, and decorated in the Italian style, with a portico at the entrance, and balconies to the first and second floors. The ground floor rooms are thrown together, and decorated with oak pan nelling. The rooms on the first and seeond floors are made to communicate with each other by folding doors, forming suites of rooms for libraries, the whole very appropriately decorated in a style perfectly in accordance with the destination of the rooms, and the simplicity that should be adopted in public buildings of such a character. The new theatre is so much enlarged, as to contain nearly one hundred persons more than the old one ; it is now 22 feet high, well lighted both by day and night. The thanks of the meeting were unanimously given to Mr. T. H. Wyatt, the architect, Mr. Grissell, the builder, and Mr. Manby, the secretary, who superintended the execution of the works. In his address, Sir JOHN RENNIE, after alluding to the sti mulus the profession had received d from the number of public works recently undertaken, and the tile high position institution had obtained labours which o the its various members, impressed on the meeting the nece ssit y of still further exertions, in order to support the scien tific cha racter they had earned. Far from being satisfied with what they had done, this feeling should only act as incentive to greater efforts ; but by continuing in the same course, they might arrive at a point as much in advance of the pre sent day as they were now beyond what had been done in the time of Smeaton. He then reviewed the progress that had been made in railway travelling and steam na vigation, and made some valuable remarks upon the formation of bar harbours, the drainage of extensive dis tricts of marsh lands, &c.; and after glancing at the im provements whick had taken place in various branches of science, ho observed that the present position of civil engineers in Great Britain had been brought about entirely by the wants of the community-, without the en couragement or fostering hand of Royal or Government patronage. The president then remarked upon the appoint ment of civil engineers by Government to investigate ante the merits of various projects, which had been submitted to the Health of Towns Commisslon, and which he characte rised as a step in the right direction, and observed that if the same system had been pursued with regard to railways, and other important works, so as to have enabled the Legislature to arrive at correct conclusions respecting many of the pro jects, the public would have derived infinitely greater advan tages from them than they were likely to do in their pre sent system, as the naval and military officers who had been appointed on these commissions, however talented in their own profession, and highly honourable and well in tentioned, must, after all, derive their info'rmation from civil engineers , w ho alone would be competent judges. Neither could he approve of the plan of interfering too much with private enterprise. The public understood their own interests much better than have so and although the present system might have some defects, it had hitherto worked well. Competition had produced talent and employ ment for it, and the result had been eminently satisfactory. . They had only to coroparo uIaDY Of the estaliehmehts of Go- PRICE SD. verement with those of private individuals to find that the latter were preferable, whether as regarded celerity, quan tity, or economy of manufacture ; but the moment the con tinental system was followed, and a rirything rendered subservient to Government. the general energy would be cramped and the public works of this country would dwindle . into comparative insignificanCe. Civil engineers were bound to give every assistance in their power to the Legis lature, in order that public works should be established on the best principles, and the profession should make their services indispensable by their superior knowledge, and ft! e liberality with which they offered them. The Government' and the public would then necessarily apply . to them, and they would then receive the due reward of their exertions. Unanimous votes of thanks were given to the president, vice-presidents, and other members of council, and to the secretary, for their attention to the interests of the instil it • tion, and the meetiag was adjurned to Tuesday evening, February 2, when (lie following paper was announced to be read :—" An Account of the method employed in laying the permanent way 'of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway, United States," by W.

The only object discernible on the rock where she went to pieces is the boiler and part of the engine, which has as yet resisted the lashing of the waves. There is, however, melancholy evidence to point out the unfortunate locality of NAVIGATION. A BILL TO ALLOW, FOR A TIME TO BE LIMITED, THE IMPORTATION OF CORN FROM ANY COUNTRY IN FOREIGN SHIPS. `Whereas it is expedient to allow, for a limited time, corn, maize, grain, meal, flour, rice, and potatoes to be imported in any ship or vessel from auy country whatever, and that such articles, warehoused for exportation only, should be allowed to be entered for home consumption ; be it therefore enacted, by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled,:and by the authority of the same, that from and after the passing of this Act, and before the first day of September in this present year, it shall and may be lawful for any person or persons to import into the United Kingdom for hcme use, from any country, in any ship or vessel of any country, however navi gated, any corn, maize, grain, flour, meal, rice, or potatoes, the growth or produce of any country, anything in the law of navigation to the contrary in anywise notwithstanding. And be it enacted, that from and after the said passing of this Act, until the said first day of September inclusive, in this present year, any corn, maize, grain, flour, meal, rice, or potatoes, the growth or produce of any country, which may have been warehoused in the United Kingdom for ex portation only, may be entered for home consumption, any thing in the law of navigation to the contrary in anywise notwithstanding. WESTMINSTE It ELECTION. Mr. Charles Lushington has promptly replied to the in vitation of the Westminster Reform Society that he would come forward as a candidate for that city on the next disso lution of Parliament, when Mr. Loader retires from that honourable position. Mr. Lushington's answer to the society is as follows: " 1, Palace-gardens, Westminster, Jan. 21, 1817. " Sir,—l beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, conveying to me the resolution passed at the last meeting of the Westminster Reform Society, that I be adopted by the society as the candidate to represent the city of Westminster in Parliament as suc cessor to J. T. Leader, Esq., M.P., at the next election. " Be pleased to submit to the society the expression of my deep sense of the honour thus conferred on me, with an inti mation that I shall be prepared to act in conformity thereto when the proper occasion shall arrive. "I am, Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, "C. LUSHINGTON. "To George Huggett, Esq., Secretary to the Westminster Reform Society." The independence and thorough Liberal principles of Mr. Lushington will most probably ultimately obtain for him the united and zealous support of time constituency. As a tried public man he requires no compliments and no warranty beyond his own name. WATER SUFFLY OF ROME AND LONDON.—The probable supply to the 1,000,000 inhabitants, of which Rome could one time boast, amounted to 50,000,000 cubic feet, being . equal to about fifty cubic feet for each individual. This i s probably twenty times the quantity which London now receives for each of its inhabitants—a fact which goes far to justify the application of the disgraceful term " bath less" to this the largest, the most opulent, and the most powerful city in the world. How miserably insignifieant do our waterworks appear, and how trifling the supply they furnish to this mighty city of more than 2,000,000 persons, when contrasted with the immense flood of pure water poured into old Rome by her gigantic aqueducts ! And how discreditable the difference between the two capitals, when we reflect on the far superior resources which modem sci ence has placed at her command, and on the well-known fact, that through the happy constitution of the strata on which London stands, she has at her command—requiring, as it were, but the smiting of the rock to make them gush forth—boundless supplies of the purest possible water.— Mechanics' Magazine. Mr. Gully, late M.P. for Pontefract, is spoken of as the second Liberal candidate for Andover.—Doncaster Gazette. The Worshipful Company of Saddlers, B. B. Williams, Esq., master, gave a grand entertainment at their Hall, in Cheapside, on Wednesday last, to the Baron Lionel de Rothschild, the Masters of the Worshipful Com panies of Salters, Dyers, Cutlers, and Joiners, all of whom are intimately connected with Ireland. After the usual loyal toasts, the master gave the health of Baron Rothschild, Captain Colegrave, John Barnes, Esq., lligh"sheriff of the county of Bucks, and the other visitors. The Baron Roths child returned thanks in an appropriate speech, congratu lating the company upon the unanimity existing with so many influential companies, and feelingly entered into the present unfortunate state of Ireland, and concluded by pro posing the health of the master, a very old and sincere friend of his family. The evening was one of great har mony, the musical department being under the able ma nagement of Mr. Moody, and did not terminate until a late hour. BENEVOLENCE:'--It was stated yesterday, at a meeting held in the beard-room of the Hospital for Consump• tion and Diseases of the Cheat, that the late Miss Catherine Lee had bequeathed the sum of 2001. for the uses of the charity ; and also that the late William Tyrringham Praed, Esq., the Member for St. Ives, had left 100/, for the same charitable appliance. THE LONDON COFFEE-HOUSE AND EATING HOUSE KEEPER'S BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION.-The twen tieth half-yearly general meeting of the above association was held yesterday at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street. The chair was taken by the President, Mr. be r, who stated that the funded property at present amounted to 1,782/. 11s. 9d., and the balance in hand to 49/. lls. 11d. The income for the year ending July, 1846, amounted to 2751. 7s. Bd., and the disbursements to 2621. ss. 6d. An ex cursion to Herne Bay had realised a profit, including a donation of five guineas, of 25/. ss. ; the ball at the Crown and Anchor Tavern produced 11/. 14s. 6d.; and the dinner at the Freemasons' Tavern, under the presidency of General De Lacy Evans, M.P., 601. The sum of 100/. had been added to the funds during the past year, which had been further increased by the accumulated interest of 60/. ss. 7d. Among the subscriptions and donations announced were the following :-Lord John Russell, 101. 10s. ; the late Mar quis of Westminster, 21/. ; W. H. Warburton, Esq., M.P., 10/. 10s.; Sir John Easthope, M.P., 211.; Mr. W. Ewart, M.P., 10/. 10s. ; General Sir De Lacy Evans, MX., 10/. 10s. ; Mr. B. B. Cabbell, M.P., 5/. ss. ; Mr. Bin more, 101. 103. The 'Secretary alluded to the patronage which the public press had bestowed upon the institution, and announced the following donations :-The Sun 71/., the Globe 681., the Standard 101. 10s., the Morning Chronicle 101. 10s., the Morning Herald 10/. 10s., the Morning Post 101.105., the Morning Advertiser thirty guineas, the Times 101. 10s , &c. &c. The report having been received, a vote of thanks was passed to the chair, and the meeting adjourned. ENJOYING A SNOOZE.--A young pig, which a friend of ours stated to be a lineal descendant of the learned pig `Toby," created no small confusion one day this week, at a 'house situated at the west end of Preston. The following are the facts of the case :-The master of the house, af ter giving mister grunter his breakfast, and al so enjoying his own, repaired to his work ; shortly after w hich, th h e is wife went back door out on a small gossipping excursion, leavingat, she returned open. After having a little friendly chi t c to her dwelling, and on going to the eradlaballe f ou nd all the clothes smooth and straight , as i f some one ha d laced an in fant to sleep. Wondering how the family had increased by one so soon, she became rather excited, and turned down the cradle quilt to see if the face divine bore any resemblance to that of her liege lord. The reader may, however, guess her astonishment and surprise when, instead of seeing that of a s lovely infant," the snout of a pig presented itself to her view. No doubt, in her youth, she had heard of the " pig faced lady," which was formerly exl.ibited in Chadvrick' s Orchard, at the " low charge of one penny." Bearing that in mind, she thought that the new comer was a second mon strosity, and rushed out of the house in hysterics. After some time, in company with some other neighbours, she re turned to examine more narrowly, when, lo and behold l the inmate of the cradle was no other than "Toby junior," who had climbed over the wall of his stye, turned u') the cradle c l o thes with his snout, and crept quietly under the m, and laid himself down to enjoy a snooze. -Preston Guardia n. FIRE AT QUEEN.IIITHE.-Last night, b e t we en eight and nine o'clock, a fire broke out in the range of premises belonging to Mr. Holskamp, late Adlard, wholesale stationer, 1, Queenhithe. Thc , accident originated in a cellar under th main warehouse, and fortunately the flames were confined to that place, the firemen having set to just as they were as cending the staircase. / i'l/i‘ FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
