CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS. GEORGE CARLYLE, 3S, Bold-street,Agent for Liverpool. J. H. PYER, Confectioner , 32, Great Homer-street, for Everton and Kirkdale. APTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS consist of one kind only k.) of Black and one of Green. The Black is a mixture of Forty different kinds of rare Black Teas, remarkable for their great strength, delicious flavour, and natural aroma. This natural aroma of the Tea being completely preserved in the Packages in which it is imported. The Green is Small Leaf Gunpowder Tea of the finest kind, and is grown only on one Estate. Captain PIDDING, who has made eight voyages to China, completed arrangements when last at Canton, securing to himself the exclusive importation of these particular Teas. Extract from Dr. Sigrnond's Lecture on Captain Pidding's Tea before the Med. Bot. Society. " This particular Tea has been very much and very de servedly prised, and has now become a Standard Tea in this Country. (From Dr. James Johnson, M.D., Physician to his late Majesty, &c.) " Suffolk-place, Pall Mall, London. " Sir,—Ever since your Tea was first introduced, myself and family have used it ; indeed, only it, and we have no hesitation in giving it the preference to all others. "Yours, &c., " JAMES JOHNSON, M.D. " To Captain Pidding." CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly sold under the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he alone imports, have given the same title to rubbish of their own, so that there is now scarce one but has his " Howqua's," " Mowqua's," " Saoqua's," or some other spurious mixture. Against such imposition, the only security is " CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME." This they have not yet forged, and his signature is on every really genuine package.

On the motion of the Rev. Rector BRoolcs, seconded by LEWIN MOZLEY, Esq., It was resolved unanimously, That the town of Liverpool deeply sympathizes with the inhabitants of Hamburg under the awful calamity which has befallen their city, a calamity which must have reduced a large portion of the population to a state of the most abject poverty and destitution, and which, from its nature and ex tent, has so materially impaired all the ordinary means of local or even national relief as to justify an appeal to the generosity and kind feelings of the whole civilized world. On the motion of HARnmAN EARLE, Esq., seconded ae JOSEPH SHIPLEY, Esq., It was resolved unanimously, That a subscription be opened in furtherance of this bene volent object, and that Mr. Jacob Willink, Vice-Consul at this port for the city of Hamburg, Mr. J.

Burchardt, his Prussian Majesty's Consul at this port, be requested to act as joint Treasurers, with authority to remit the funds as they are collected to the proper autho rities appointed in Hamburg for the relief of the houseless poor.

Mr. O'Moore, was at the altar, a person who keeps a beer shop in the neighbourhood, went up to Mr. O'Moore and demanded the payment of her score for beer supplied to him. The rev. gentleman said that was not a proper time or place to make such a demand, and requested the party to desist, but instead of doing so, two or three ,persons commenced a. violent attack upon him, struck him in the face, tore his robes, and otherwise maltreated hi m , an d a regu l ar fight and disturbance took place in the chapel. A messenger was despatched to Croydon for the assistance of the police, ancl." a short time some constables of the P division arrived; Va°: took into custody the parties charged with creating t e b taken turbance and the assault upon the priest, and they:r'nering they to the police-station at Croydon. On Monday ss sn:Sutherlanct were examined upon the charge before Messrs. Drummondr ap peared Currie, at the Town-hall, when Mr._ .

LEGAL ELOQUENCE.—The following thrilling specimen of bar oratory in the Far West will delight and astonish our readers. Nothing can exceed the exquisite touch of natural and genuine feeling at the end. " Judge, give us a chew of your tobacco !" " Gentleman of the Jury :—Can you for an instant suppose that my client here, a man that allers sus tained a high depredation in society, a man you all on you respect for his many and good quantities; yes, gentleman, a man who never drinks more than a quurt of likker a day ; can you, I say, for an instant suppose that this ere man would be guilty of hookin' a box of pershushun caps ? Rattlesnakes and coonskins forbid ! Pieter to yourselves, gentlemen, a feller fast asleep in his log cabin, with his inno cent wife and orphan children by his side—all natur hushed in deep repose, and nought to be heard but the muttering of the silent thunder and the hollerin of the bull frogs ; then imagine to yourselves a feller sneaking up to the door like a despicable hyena, softly entering the dwelling of the peace ful and happy family, and, in the most mendacious and das tardly manner, hookin' a whole box of percushnns! Gentle men, I will not, I cannot dwell upon the monstrocity le such a scene ! And now, gentlemen, after this ere brief view of the case, let me intreat of you to make up your minds can didly and impartially, and give us such a verdict as we might reasonably expect from such an enlightened and intolerant body of our fellow-citizens —remembering that, in the lan guage of Nimrod, who fell in the battle of Bunker-hill, it is better that ten innocent men escape, rather than one amity should suffer. Judge, give us a chew of y our tobacco." I FRE*CH IDEAS OF ENGLISH SPORT. --After horses, greyhounds, foxes, pigeons, and bull-dogs, we at length come to boxers—the last clast of sport, which holds brutes in greater esteem than men ; for do not fancy that this classifi cation is the effect of chance, and of a sense as shame or disgust. Not so ; the English do nothing without an inten tion ; they never blush at what they do, and are enraptured with great delight at the hideous sight of two desperate box ers. Thus the last rank allotted in the hierarchy of sport to those ignoble fights proves only that if they tremble when their horse has caught a cold, they have somewhat less feeling when they behold a man's ribs knocked in. In those com bats everything is opprobrious and repulsive—ay, everything, from the teethless mouth and the brutal looks of those de graded beings, to the preparations and precautions destined to prolong the combat. Each second brings his champion a pail of water, a large horse sponge, and a bottle of brandy or wine. The heroes are stripped to the waist, and, at first, totter, as much from fear as from drunkenness : but the murmurs of the spectators soon warn them that they have not come to witness mere childish play. Vanity then prevails over fear, and the combat becomes serious. At every tooth that drops, at every rib that breaks, at every eye that falls out, there are voices that shout " Bravo !" and hands that applaud. The struggle has already lasted an hour; the boxers are ex hausted ; they can scarcely stand ; their faces are bruised and covered with blood ; their bodies present but a huge sore. But they have not yet rested and assailed one another above 50 times, and a proper combat must be renewed at least 60 or 70. Their seconds apply the sponge to the flowing blood, wash their eyes, noses, and ears, pour wine or brandy down their throats ; and the blows resound again, until one of them, panting, exhausted, almost dead, falls down to get up no more. And yet the crowd is often dissatisfied ; often does it cry that there has been treachery or cowardice—instead of one corpse it would have two. This is the ugly side of sport in England, for it is not the populace only that encourages these loathsome spectacles ; the most elegant men blush not to witness them, and to speculate upon the fists of a boxer with the same coolness as they speculate upon a horse's legs. In this department of sport we shall never be on a level with the English, and we can but congratulate ourselves upon it.— La Presse. A HANGING JUDGE.—The Baron, unlike many men of worldly fame, deserved his reputation. To hang was, with him, not so much a duty as a passion. Early in life he had been possessed with the solemn impulse. When at school, all his pocket-money was expended to purchase dogs and cats, to be treated according - to his early principle of justice; in familiar phrase, hanged. His tree of social liberty was the tree that grew at Tyburn ; the Gordion knot of policy, a nice_ new hempen halter. The black cap was the cap he would have always worn: he never felt so easy, warm, and truly comfortable as when it graced his head. He could have gone to bed in it ! Strange it was that the cap, like the hid den spring in some garden statues, no sooner touched the Baron than it drew water down his cheeks : though seem ingly only a piece of stone before. Baron Sus-per-toll played from the bench on the prisoner in the dock a very fountain of symathy. He never hanged but he cried ; and, as be never lost an opportunity . of hanging, we may conclude that, like ladies in hysterics, crying did him a world of good. The end of poor Baron Sus-per-coll— for he died (for a judge) at the untimely age of eighty-four, and really in the full possession of all tire faculties left him, was hastened by his aqueous feelings. He had passed sentence upon a miscreant—a famishing weaver—who had stolen a dish of giblets from a poulterer's, and the Baron had wept exceedingly. Unfortunately, he had come on the circuit with a new servant, and the domestic had failed to dry his lordship's ermine for the next day's busifaess. The robe was, as usual, drenched with tears ; it was the winter circuit, and the damp struck to the baron's chest. It was plain that he was about to depart for a world which he had done all in his judicial power to render populous. Still, he rallied nobly ; but happening in the same circuit to hoe a maiden assize, the unexpected blow concluded the work. With a sickly, mortal smile, Baron Sus-per-ceal received the white gloves, and immediately took to his bed: For en hour or two before his death his senses wandered ; for he insisted upon having the black cap brought to his bedside, then put it upon his head, sat bold upright, and commenced, in the most pathetic terms, passing sentence upon himself ! He first be gan by condemning himsel as an old and hardened offewies ; congratulated himself thatohe had been tried by an infielSble and enlightened jury ; congratulated the country that he himself would be hanged, for he was a pest, a blot, an ulcer to society : and then conjured himself to make the most of the time that remained to him ; forbidding himself to hope for the least mercy in this world, but to trust only to the mercy of the next. He then, wiping his eyes very often with the sheet, said that nothing more remained to himself but to pass sentence upon himself : that the sentence was, that he should be taken to whence he came, and hanged by the neck until he was dead. " And Mr. Baron Sus-per-toll," these were the Baron's last delirious words, " may the Lord have mercy on your soul !" Saying this the judge laid himself upon his pillow, and, the black cap still upon his head, died ! —Jerrold's Cakes and Ale. MILITARY EQUIPMENT OF THE CHINESE.—The weapons of the mandarins consist of a sword, similar to that used by the ancient Romans, with a short straight blade, the scab bard being ornamented according to the fancy of the bearer. This is invariably carried on the right side, in order to pre vent that weapon from getting entangled with the slings of the quiver for arrows, which is fasten e d round the waist by a handsomely embroidered belt, and hangs on the left side. The quiver is made of leather appropriately ornamented, and has generally a species of sabretache attached to it, in which the bow is placed ; some of which 1 have seen with a hinge in the centre, to admit of being folded up into a smaller space. The arrows are of various lengths, some armed with a ball at the end perforated with holes, which in their progress through the air, causes a whistling noise, and is supposed to strike terror into the hearer; the points are barbed, hooked, and broad-headed, while the butt is generally decorated with bright coloured , feathers, those of the Tartar pheasant being most esteemed, and used by the mandarins only The arm; of the soldiers' are shields, matcliTocit;,sPea'rs, bows and arrows, and double swords. The only kind of armour Is a round cap, made of rattan, painted with a huge pair of eyes, and well calculated to ward off the blow of a sword ; some times the soldiers wear a cap similar to that of the mandarin* without any button. The shields are of different sizes, made also of rattan, containing a ring inside sufficiently large to pass the arm through, and, a little further In, a bar to lay bold of. They are generally painted with a devil's, or some such fascinating animal's face, intended to intimidate tie be. holder. These shields are not bullet - proof to a close shot, but no sword can either pierce or cut through them. Th e m atchlock is, as nearly as possible, the old European weap on of the same name.
