PYER, Confectioner, 32, Great Homer-street, for Everton and Kirkdale. CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS consist of one kind only 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, add 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. Sigmond'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. Sold in Chinese Catty packages, containing one pound and one-third, nett of Tea, exclusive of lead and paper,—the Black, at the rate of 6s. 4d. per lb. ; the Gunpowder at 9s. per lb. • Half and Quarter Catties in proportion. A Quarter Catty of Black, charged 2s. 2d., will go as far as half a pound of the commonest Tea, if made according to Capt. Pidding's directions given on each package.

On the motion of the Rev. Rector Bnooxi, seconded by LEWIN MOZLEY, Esq., It was resolved unanimously, That the town of Liverpool deeply sympathizes with the inhabitants of Hamburg under the awfulJcalamity 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 HARDMAN 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.

Sir, lam now in my ninety-third year, and a native of Holland, have been in this country '26 years ; whether from change of climate, or my advanced age, I cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight, therefore unable to follow my business. Ido most sincerely believe I should have remained in darkness and pain, but for the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention. I purchased a 2s. 4d. canister of your Agent, Mr. Wilcock son, Tobacconist, who knows the above to be facts, and will bear witness to my extraordinary recovery of that most esti mable blessing of our life—" perfect sight"—l declare has proceeded from the use of your Eye Snuff.

This is my third testimony, and I shall be most happy to give it to you or to any respectable inquirer at my residence as under.—l remain, with gratitude, sir, your obedient humble servant, " E. ROBSON. " 19, Bell-street, Edgeware-road, Marylebone." P.S.—Sir, I should not do justice without stating my relief was almost instantaneous.

I have reason to be grateful, and do recommend your Eye Snuff to all I know. A. Z. M., Nottingham. The following is one of Don G. Lobe's letters : Havannak, 14th August, 18-11.

A disturbance of an extraordinary character took place at the Roman Catholic chapel, Broad-green, near Croydon, on Sunday morning last. It appears that about eleven o'clock, after prayers had been read, and while the priest, the Rev. Mr. O'Moore, was at the altar, a person who keeps a beer shop in the neighbourhood, went up to Mr. o'lVloore 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 regular fight and disturbance took place in the chapel. A messenger was despatched to Croydon for the assistance of the police, and in a short time some constables of the P division arrived, w ho took into custody the parties charged with creating th taen dis turbance and the assault upon the priest; and they r° wneing o bey to the police-station at Croydon. On Monday rostr u ,, eriand were examined upon the charge before Mes_Tu.nibmtound and Currie, at the Town-hall, when Mr. D ap peared on behalf of Mr. O'Moore, 1 . 0 1 inquirY the ma tended for the defendants, and after a and Mr. .Russell at and they directed gistrates said they thought the case was.inot of that character to entitle them to deal with it summari & aces to answer any the defendants to enter into recoguis charge that may be preferred against them at the sessions.

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 chaw 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 o n y ou respect for his many and good quant ities; 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 perchushun caps? Rattlesnakes and coonskins forbid ! Picter 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 you rse l ves 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 percushuns ! Gentle men, I will not, I cannot dwell upon the monstrocity of such a scene ! And n ow, gentlemen, after thi s ere b r i e f v i ew o f the case, let me intreat . of y ou to make up your minds can didly and impartially, and gi ve us such a verdict as we might reasonably exp ect fro m such an , enli g ht ene d an d i ntolerant body of our fellow- c itizens—renaembering that, in the lan guage of Nimrod, who fell in the battle of Bunker-hill, it is better that ten innocent men escape, ra th er t h an one 'guilty should suffer. Judge, give us a che w o f your tobacco. ' FRENCH 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 of 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 tio more. And yet the cro w d i s o ft en di ssa ti s fi e d ; o ft en d o es 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 potsessed 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 bead. 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-coll played from the bench on the prisoner in the dock a very fountain of symathy. He never hanged but he cried ; and, as he 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 the 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 budfiess. 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 have a maiden assize, the unexpected blow concluded the work. With a sickly, mortal smile, Baron Sus-per-coll received the white,gloves, and immediately took to his bed. For an 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 offender; congratulated himself thati:ie had been tried by an inflexible and enlightened jury ; congratulated the country that he himself would be hanged, for he was a peg, 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 14 should be taken to whence he came, and hanged by the neck until he was dead. " And Mr. Baron Sus-per-colt," these were the Baron's last delirious words, " may the Loid 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 fastened 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 I 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 arms of the soldiers are shields, matchlocks, spears, 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 mandarins 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 hold of. They are generally painted with a devil's, 4:ir some such fascinating animal's face, intended to intimidate the be holder. These shields are not bullet-proof to a close shot, but no sword can either pierce, or cut through them. The matchlock is, as nearly as possible, the old European we apon of the same name. It is not held in the same estimation by the Chinese as the bow, from its dadger to the bearer in eon _ sequence of the liability of the match either to ignite his clothes or to blow up his powder-pouch, which i s Carried round the waist in a cotton or leather case, containing f our. teen or sixteen wooden tubes, each holding a loose charge.
