Although since the close of last week we have had some further supplies of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, coastwise and from Ireland, the amount thence is, on the whole, still very moderate : from abroad, however, we have again to note a liberal import of Wheat, with a few limited par cels of Barley, Oats, Indian Corn, and Flour, as specified below. In the leading markets of this district during the past week, notwithstanding the continuance of drought which is daily more generally complained of, Beans alone were rather dearer, even Oats and other Spring Corn, though firm, appearing to be unsusceptible of improvement; and Wheat, though less affected by the present state of the weather, was decidedly somewhat cheaper. At our market this morning there was a moderate en quiry for good English, Irish, and foreign free Wheats ; but most holders refusing to submit to any further abate ment, and others to a small decline only, the operation s in consequence were limited, and the trade on the whole languid. Flour of all descriptions was rather more saleable than on Friday, with very little change in prices. Barley,.Malt, and Pease, continued to rule nearly the same as last week ; and Beans, upon a fair demand, rather exceeded the advance then stated. Oats, at length, beginning to excite more attention, realized ld. per 451bs. over the rates of this day se'nnight ; and Oatmeal, though not in lively request, must be noted 6d. per 2401b5. above the currency of that date. • ARRIVALS OF CORN.

The guano trade is still thriving, and no less than 300 British vessels are now engaged in a business that was not thought of two years ago. That ornament of the peerage, William Lionel Felix (!) Tollemache, Lord Huntingtower, figures in the list of insolvents in Tuesday's Gazette. Mr. Crockford, of gaming-table notoriety, expired between nine and ten o'clock on Friday night. His death will add to the difficulties of the settling on the Derby. LAUNCESTON ELECTION. —Yesterday week, Admiral Bowles was returned member for this borough, in the roo m of Sir Henry Hardinge. Several agricultural villages have petitioned the House of Commons to re-inflict the punishment of death on persons guilty of the Clime of arson. s STRANGE FOSTER MOTHER. —There is now to be seen at Mrs. Norton's, the Mexborough Arms Inn, Hunslet, ne at Leeds, a cat that is suckling Six young rabbits.

SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Half-past Seven o'clo,,k. DUBLIN, May 27th, 1844. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. About eleven o'clock the court assembled, when Sir Colman O'Loghlen rose and stated that he was about to move an arrest of judgment on behalf of Daniel O'Con nell, and would shear that upon the record as it then stood, judgment could not be passed against that gentle man ; it was evident from the way in which the learned gentleman expressed himself, that the traversers expected to be heard each by separate counsel, upon the present motion. Thus they flattered themselves they would be able to spin out the proceedings to so late a period that the court would be unable to pass sentence until next term. However, The Chief Justice, perceiving their intention, interrupt ing Sir Colman O'Lochlen, said, that from his (Sir Col man O'Lochlen's) stating simply that he appeared as counsel for Daniel O'Connell, it was right to inform him that the court would consider the application he was about to make as made on behalf of all the traversers, and could not hear more than two counsel on each side. Sir Colman O'Loghlen said that he was only instructed on beh .If of Mr. Daniel O'Connell; and that some of the traversers having been convicted of a different offence from that of which he was found guilty, they would seek to address the Court by their own counsel. Mr. Close, also for the traversers, urged their right to move separately in arrest of judgment ; but the Court put an end to the mater by stating that as the points of law relied on were the same in the case of all the traversers, they would adhere to the ordinary practice of the Court, and were determined not to hear more than two counsel on each side. Upon this the traversers' counsel appeared somewhat crestfallen, and Sir Colman O'Loghlen proceeded to ad dress the court in arrest of judgment, upon the ground that the caption to the indictment did not state which of the grand jury had been sworn, and which were affirmed, (there was a Quaker upon the grand jury), and also that the indictment contained several distinct charges, and was therefore bad for duplicity, and further that the charges were too vague and uncertain. The learned counsel then proceeded to argue these points at great. length, but without seeming to produce the slightest im pression on the Court, the object appearing to be to be wilder the Court with a host of cases and authorities hav ing little or no reference to the subject. Half-past Two o'clock. Sir Colman O'Loghlen is still on his legs, addressing the Court ; his object appears to be to speak against time, as be is citing authorities and positions which have been so often referred to in the proceedings that they have lost even the air of noveltir ; indeed, when he was about to read out one case, Judge Crampton entreated him to save himself the trouble, as he had already heard it seven limes during the trial, and had it almost by heart. If Sir Colman O'Loghlen does not speedily conclude his already threadbare argument, sentence can hardly by possibility be passed to-night, and thus all reasonable powers of cal culation are likely to be baffled by the inexhaustible talk ing powers of the conspirators' counsel ; however, I shall keep my letter open until the latest hour at which an ex press can be despatched. Quarter-past Four. Sir Colman O'Loghlen is still on his legs, and there fore, as the Attorney-General has yet to be heard in answer, after which Mr. M`Donogh will reply on behalf of the traversers, and then the Solicitor-General in reply to him, there is no chance of the motion being terminated to-night. Sir Colman O'Loghlen has concluded, and Mr. Fitz gibbon is now speaking, and insisting that, notwithstand ing what has fallen from the Court this morning, the tra versers, every one of them, have a right to make a sepa rate motion to arrest the judgment. The Attorney-General rose and stated, that he antici pated the objection would be made, and he had therefore consulted the Attorney-General for England on the sub ject, and he informed him that the Queen's Bench in England would not hear more than two counsel on such a case. Mr. Fitzgibbon said that Sir Wm. Follett's saying so did not make it the law. -' The Chief Justice observed, that the counsel for tie traversers had no right to complain; that each of them, throughout the case, had addressed the court as if he was concerned on behalf of them all. The rule of court was against Mr. Fitzgibbon's client, and he (the Chief Justice) for one would adhere to it. There was another able counsel to be heard on the same side as Sir Colman O'Loghlen, and anything the other counsel wished to urge, they could say it to him. The other members of the Court concurred, and the application of Mr. Fitzgibbon was unanimously refused. The Court then adjourned at half-past four o'clock, until to-morrow, so that another day at least has been gained by the traversers. There was a meeting of the Repeal Association this day, Sir Samuel Bradstreet, Bart., in the chair. The rent received up to three o'clock was £538 odd, including £lOO from Savannah, and £5O from Brooklynn ; but a sun of money from New Or:eans was rejected, as it contained some suggestion the Repealers did not like. Mr. O'Con nell was present. ASTRONOMICAL PROGNOSTICSOF RAIN.—Mr. G. Sug den, of Bowden, writes thus to the Mark•lane Express : " I anticipate a sudden transition from drought to moist ure, as the planet Venus has entered the watery sign Cancer. An old author says, Venus, in the first ten degrees of Cancer, gives ce►tain rain ; consequently, we may expect fine genial showers at intervals during the next ten days. Positive electricity prevails for a few days about the middle of the month, discharging itself in va rious parts of the kingdom, but, generally speaging, a fine growing month may be expected." Venus in Cancer has not, up to this time, been so, bountiful as the old author avers her to be, at least, we have but few or no droppings thereof in this part of the country. Hops.—Worcester, May 22.—The appearance of fly in many Hop-gardens has caused considerable excitement in our market within the last few days, and to several months of unusual dulness has succeeded an active trade, with an advance in prices from the lowest point of 7s. to Bs. per cwt., and which was firmly maintained in our market on Saturday. The present rates of the best 18-13's ranged from £6 12s. to £6 16s. per cwt., and 1842's from 115 s to 120 s per cwt. Both sorts are scarce, and quite inadequate to meet the increased demand ; in consequence of which good fresh old hops have been in quired after, and some sales of 1837's and 1839's have been made at 50s to 63s per cwt., and a few old lots at 30s to 42s per cwt. There were 18 pockets weighed on Saturday. THE NEW GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA.—SOUTH- AMPTON, MAY 22.—The heavy baggage of the new Go vernor-General of India is expected here in a day or two for shipment in the Great Liverpool, which departs for Alexandria on the Ist of June. The Governor-General and suite do not, however, embark here„ They are to proceed via France to Marseilles, where a Government steamer will be in waiting to convey them direct to Egypt, from whence they will embark, at Suez, on board the Oriental Company's steam-ship, the Hindostan, for Cal cutta, and will arrive there about the 20th of July. Sir Henry Hardinge will be the first Governor - General of India who has proceeded to his government by what is called the overland route. It is a question whether Lord Ellenborough will have bad time to make arrangements for his return before his successor's arrival, which will take place only a few days after Lord Ellenborough re ceives his recall. It is calculated that Sir Henry will have entered upon his high functions in India within little more than a couple of months from the date of his ap pointment being made in L ea denhall-street — a ce hlaserity ver of movement which the history of Indian affairs ne yet been able to record. SELF-TRANSPORTATION.—Iri the Royal Court, Guern sey, on Saturday week, James Cohu, aged 19, and Henry Dufour, aged 18, were charged with having at various times feloniously entered the premises of Mrs. De Lancey, at the Grange, and stolen therefrom sums of money to the amount of £l5 ; also a dozen of wine, as also 3s. from a dresser in the kitchen. Advocates Utermarck and Falla severally stated that the prisoners were not desirous of making any defence, " but they were willing to leave their country (i.e. Guernsey) for such period as the court might think fit to order, as had been done in several previous instances." The Queen's Proc ureur said, that as the only proof against the prisoners was derived from Cohu's confession, which was made un der a promise given by Mrs. De Lancey that he should be admitted as Queen's evidence, and, considering that they were both young men, against whom no complaint h ad been previously brought, he recommended that the court should order Cohu to leave the island for six years, and Dufour for four years. The court, considering the above circum stances, and considering also that if the priso ners had been tried and convicted their "punishment" would not have exceeded that which they " asked for," ordered Cohu to quit the island for five years and Dufour for four years. The two young men left gaol for Southampton, to try their luck in the convict settlement of England. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. LOCAL NEWS. NEW COUNTY MAGISTRATE.-0O Thursday last, at Preston Se,sions, George Ormercd, Esq., of Fern Hill, Bacup, qualified as a maAistrate for this county. COMMITMENT.—On Wednesday last a female, named Fitzgerald, was committed for trial for robbing a butcher, of the name of Talbot, (whom she had enticed into a hou,e in Skelborne-street,) of two half-crowns and two BURGLARY.—On Saturday night last, the office of Mes-rs. Brown and Green, merchants, of Commerce court, Lord -street, was entered by means of skeleton keys, and four p a p ers o f s il ver , co n taining £5 each, were abstracted. The thieves, who left a skeleton-key after them, have since eluded the vigilance of the police. ROBBERY OF ONE HUNDRED POUNDS.—About a quarter after twelve o'clock, on Friday last, a Bank of England note fur £lOO was stclen from the counter of the Branch Bank of England, in Hanover-street. The note had just been received from the cashier. A reward of £lO has been offered, STALLS IN THE STREETS.—At the Police-court, yes terday, several persons were fined for erecting stalls for the sale of goods in the streets, contrary to the provisions of the improvement act.—Mr. Rushton expressed the determination of the magistrates in all cases to inflict penalties. - - IMPROVEMENT OF KruKDALE,-i-Within the last few months, several hundred dwelling-houses have been erected in Kirkdale. The recently opened ground about St. Mary's Church is covered with neat cottages, and all tenanted. Between the village and Bootle-lane, Mr. Duckworth has laid out a very picturesque and elegant little square, surrounded with villas: lionnEßY OF THIRTY SOVERE. GNS. — On Saturday night a man of the name of Thomas Farmer, who had taken his passage to New York by the ship Samuel Hicks, was iobbei of thirty sovereigns by three fellows, who en ticed him to a public-house, and, by the well-known trick, entitled " ringing the changes", induced him to exhibit his money, and then plundered him of every shilling be had in his possession. IMPORTANT TO GAS CONSLMERS.4.. 1 the course of the hearing of some case§ for the receiving of money due by parties for the consuming of gas, on Thursday last, at the Police-court, it appeared that by a recent act of par liament, which received the royal assent on the tenth of the present month, the price of gas fittings may be re ct,ver,d by the same summary process as arrears for gas— that is for the fittings supplied subsequent to the passing of the said act, for its clauses are inoperative as respects the recovery of the cost of fittings before it was enacted . PUBLICANS AND BEERSELLERS FINED.—At the Po lice-court, on Friday, the following persons were fined in the amounts respectively affixed to their names, for vio lation of the improvement act. In the whole of the cases costs were incurred :—Publicans—William Hickson, Waterloo-road, 60s. Btersellers—John Threlfall, Prince William-street, 40s; Elizabeth Lynes, Freemason's-row, £5 ; Hannah Lewis, Porter-street, 60s ; Nicholas Coyle, Lace-street, £5 ; James Lovett, Banastre-street, £5 ; Thomas Winder, Lambert-street, £5. PORT OF RUNCORN.—There has been a greater num ber of arrivals at this port this month, than at any former period ; large consignments of iron for the manufacturing districts have arrived, as well as clay and flint for the Potteries ; the tonnage of goods which passed up the Bridgewater canal last week, was greater than has ever been known since its construction. These facts, with the large quantities of manufactured goods passing through for Liverpool, denote a better state gf things than has ex isted for several years past. SINGULAR ROBBERY.—On Saturday night the founda tion-stone of the new Northern Hospital, Great Howard street, which was laid, about a fortnight since, by the Mayor, was removed, and the bottle which, at the time, was placed underneath with so much ceremony, was ab stracted. The thieves, no doubt, fancied th_at it contained some of the coin of the realm, but in this hey were dis appointed, as its contents consisted merely of a printed list of the committee and officers of the institution. The bottle was found broken to pieces, at a short distance from the spot. BIRTHS EXTRAORDINARY.—On Wednesday last, a monkey of the East Indian breed, gave birth to a young one, at the Zoolw,ical Gardens. The latter is quite a curiosity, and with its mother, are doing "as well as could be expected ;" and indeed much better, for the mother may be seen hopping about with the young one at its breast. On the same day, mirabile diclu, a brood of five black swans (those rat ce aces in tar; is) were hatched at the same establishment, which has further been in creased, during the pi esent week, by the birth of four young hyeanas, which are being suckled by a terrier bitch. ST. NICHOLAS'S CHURCHYARD.-011 Saturday three idle fellows were brought before Mr. Rushton on a charge of having been riotous and disorderly in St. Nicholas's Churchyard. Alter the cases had been adjudicated upon, Mr. Rushton sent for Mr. Miller, the Head-constable, and told that officer that a gang of most disorderly fel lows were in the habit of frequenting the churchyard in question. He said he was anxious to have the place cleared of them. Mr. Miller said there was an officer constantly at the yard for the purpose of quelling their turbulent conduct, but that he should have them prevented from assembling in future. ROBBERY OF FIFTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS.—On Thursday morning last, the out-door clerk of the Riyal Bank of Liverpool, received Bank of Endand notes to the amount of £l,5!:0 at the office of the Branch Bank in Han, over-street, and between that place and Tarlton-street a black leather case, in which they had been deposited, was picked from his pocket, and not the slightest trace of the property has since been discovered. A reward of £lOO has been offered for the apprehension of the thief or thieves. We regret to state that the numbers of only four of the stolen notes are known. One of them was for £5OO. STEALING A WATCH.—On Saturday a young female, named Ann Sullivan, was brought up before Mr. Rush ton on a charge of having stolen a silver watch belonging to Mr. Edward Blackmore, R.N., formerly of Dublin. It appeared, that, while the complainant and his wife were attending divine service the preceding Sunday, the pri soner, who was a servant in the house in which they lodged, 6, Clarence•street, took the watch from the mantelpiece in the sitting-room, and asked a widow, of of the name of Ann W. Daly, who occupied a cellar in Brownlow-hill, to keep a small jar for her for a few days. She told Daly that the jar, which was tightly fastened up in brown paper, contained an ointment for the eyes. Daly placed it in her drawer, and, shortly after, her son tore off the paper, and discovered the watch inside. This led to the prisoner's apprehension, and she was, of course, committed for trial. NEW BUILDINGS IN EVERTON. The Richmond of Liverpool is fast losing its character as a fashionable sub urban residence. The valley between Everton and the town has for some time been covered with small property, and last year the upper part of Prince Edwin-street was completely built up with courts and cottages. At this moment three streets are in progress, very near comple tion, running from lietherfield road North to George's Hill and Northumberland Terrace, and as one house rises above another like steps of stairs, the effect is curi ous. These houses are intended to be let for about £2O a year rent, and several are already tenanted. At George's Hill, several houses, rather more expensive, are in course of erection, and a very neat little street, with houses on one side has just been opened from George's Hill to Church-street. Mr. James Heyworth, for the privacy of his house and gardens, has purchased and planted the ground on the opposite side. STEALING SUGAR.—On Saturday, a labouring man, named George Bostock, was brought before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of having plundered Bernard and Ledson's warehouse, in Dundee-street, of ' a quantity of sugar. Constable Keogh saw the prisoner enter Savage's marine store, the day before, with his coat on his arm, and he shortly after found him in the back cellar of the store with his coat loosely thrown over some old ropes, Upon examining the coat he found a handkerchief con taining a quantity of sugar. The prisoner's hat contained about a stone of the same article ; and a bag, which was found upon him, contained about an equal quantity. It subsequently turned out that the fellow had cut open several bags of bonded sugar, belonging to Messrs. Platt and Hamills, in the warehouse above mentioned, and abstracted what was found upon his person. The sugar had not paid duty, and was worth obout 70s. per cwt. He was committed for trial. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CONNEXION WITH THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF IRELAND.—A public meeting of the members and friends of the new congregation of this church, lately established in this town, was advertised to have been holden in the Commercial-hall, Gloucester street, on Thursday evening. A few minutes after the hour announced for the opening of the meeting, several reverend gentlemen ascended the platform, when it was announced that the meeting would be adjourned, in con sequence of circumstances having transpired which ren dered it impracticable for the deputation advertised—the Rev. Dr. Stewart. Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ireland ; Dr. Cooke, of Bel fast ; Dr. Brown, of Ahadoey ; Mr. Dobbin, of Ballymena, and other eminent personages—to attend. A letter from the Rev. Dr. Stewart was read by the secretary, express ing the deep regret which the deputation felt at not being able to make good their appointment, which originated in having laid before the Lord Chancellor a marriage bill, the proceeding of which required their attendance. The meeting was announced to be held some day in the ensuing week, when the gentlemen forming the original deputation will be in attendance. EARLY CLOSING OF SHOPS.—On Wednesday morn ing another six o'clock meeting was held in the Circus street school-room, Byrom-street, for the purpose of ap pointing six district committees for the northern division of the town. Mr. Flower was called to the chair. He stated the object in view, and after recommending the ap pointment of the committees to the assistants, called upon T. A. Flower, who moved a resolution appointing them, and dwelt on the importance of the duties that would devolve upon them. Tears, he said, had been shed by the mothers, the wives, and the daughters of En gland over the wrongs of the slave abroad, and the nation had emancipated them ; yet meanwhile, and long after wards, a system of slavery not less fraught with moral dangers to society had been permitted, and even en couraged, by the same parties. He did not attribute this to any want of benevolence on the part of his fair coun trywomen, but to their ignorance of the grievances of the assistants ; and to make them known was the busi ness of these committees. Mr. Mirams seconded the re solution, urging the meeting for united exertions, which had been successfully pursued by the booksellers and ironmongers. The chairman reminded the meeting that the booksellers and ironmongers had wrought upon a sympathy which this association, after a labour of four years, had excited ; and he rejoiced in their success. The resolution was unanimously carried, and a collection was made. Another resolution, pledging those present to the chairman, the meeting seperated. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES. TUESDAY.

BETTING.---5 to 2 agst the Ugly Buck ;3to 1 agst Ra tan; 10 to 1 agst Running Rein ; 20 to 1 agst Orlando.— Precisely at three o'clock, but not without a couple of failures, the race commenced, Leander taking the lead at a great pace, followed by Akbar, The Ugly Buck third, and in attendance on him Orlando and Ratan, Running Rein lying in the wake of The Buck, and in his rear Ratan, Bay Morons, and lonian ; this constituted the front rank from the beginning of the race to its close. Leander made the running for about half a mile, when, froth some unaccountable twist, his off hind-leg broke be tween the hock and the fetlock, and he was instantly pulled up. Running Rein now ran through his horses, and took a decided lead, followed by Akbar and The Ugly Buck, who severally kept their places round the turn, and until near the road, where both were unequi vocally beaten, and Colonel Peel's two were left to fol low their leader home. Orlando got within a length of him at the distance, and making his effort half way up, slightly mended his position, but without in any degree improving his chance for the race, Running Rein retain ing his lead to the end, and winning easily by three parts of a length.

Sin,—lt is not our province to take part in public discussions upon questions of political economy • but we are compelled, in self-defence, to refer to the 'letter of Publius," in the Times of this, day, on the subject of " Trade with France," which is made the medium of an unwarrantable attack upon us. " Publius" is, no doubt, an interested party, who, un der the shelter of an anonymous signature, would fain serve himself and other holders of French brandy. To do this he adopts two means—argument, if his writing can be so called, tending to a reduction of the duty on French brandy, and thereby to enhance the value of that article in bond ; and abuse, applied to British produce, with a view to creating a greater demand for the foreign. He, and those interested with him, or whose feelings he is en gaged to represent, may justly feel alarm at " the conti nually declining quantity of French brandy which pays duty for consumption, in the face of a constantly increas ing population ; and, having little regard for truth or consistency, it is not to be wondered at that, in the spirit of unscrupulous advocacy, be should assign any but the real cause for such decreasing consumption ; or that he should attempt to put down successful competition, which is the real cause, by vulgar abuse. Indeed, so reckless is he, that not satisfied with an onslaught upon British dis tillers, he even assails the whole medical and chemical professions. The simple truth is, that the constantly increasing de mand for our Patent Brandy has made an important in road upon the trade in foreign brandy ; and that this, with the adoption of our Patent Metallic Capsules, as an effectual security to the public against the fraudulent sub stitution of inferior spirits, has occasioned the utmost uneasiness in those who deal in foreign brandy. That " Publius" is what we have describi-d him to be, there cannot be a doubt. He asks for a reduction in the duty on French brandy, not for the benefit of the consu mers who will, at any price, indulge their taste for " the finest Cognac ; but for the purpose of effecting " a conci liation of the most powerful agricultural interest" of France. Generous Cosmopolite ! He is eager to sacri fice every native interest (except that of the holders of French brandy) at the shrine of foreign prosperity. What to him the grain of England in competition with the grapes of France ? If there be sorrow in our farmsteads, will there not be joy in the vineyards abroad ? Although our firm is not mentioned by name, yet, as our Patent brandy is the produce of British grain—as the trade description of it comes within the scope of " high sounding titles"—and as its healthfulness and genuine purity are borne out by the " testimony of scientific men," it is barely possible to suppose that " Publius" did not intend, and deliberately perpetrate, a personal attack upon us ; or that the passage referred to has not been more or ess applied to us by your readers, and the public generally, many of whom are unpossessed of the absolute merits of the case. We maintain, Sir, and we have the most incontroverth. ble evidence of the fact, that our Patent Brandy, distilled from British grain, is a purer and more wholesome spirit than Cognac or other French Brandy. This has been ascertained by the most careful analysis, made by Chemi cal Professors whose names rank with the most eminent in the world—by " scientific men," who were unquestion ably paid, not any agreed sum, as is basely insinuated by " Publius," for the purpose of influencing their opinions respectively, but according to the charge made by them, for the time and professional skill bestowed upon the in quiry, as a physician, a barrister, or any other gentleman, would be paid for first-rate professional services. That the opinion of such a person as " Publius" would conform with that of any purchaser, at a given price, we have no reason to doubt. On the contrary, we believe him to be a commodity for any market—at present disposable by the holders of Foreign Brandy. But " the gall and wormwood" to " Publius" is, that the genuine and decided testimonials in our favour have had their natural effect upon our sale. They have led to the use of our Patent Brandy by an immense number of private consumers, among whom the greatest men of the day might be named ; and to its being prescribed; daily, in preference to French Brandy, by the highest medical authorities at Guy's, St. George's, and the Westminster Hospitals ; at the Manchester, Bristol, and Brighton In firmaries ; and, in short, at all the principal hospitals and public institutions in England. Free from the acid inseparable from French brandy, and from its astringent nature, we challenge competition at home and abroad ; and whilst we thus tear away the mask from " Publius," controvert his statements, and repudiate his conclusions, we say at once that fear of competition does not for a moment influence us in writing this letter. The fashion for the use of French brandy is rapidly passing away. British science and British enter prise have succeeded in raising the produce of British Grain far in intrinsic value above that of foreign grapes ; and however much the duty on foreign spirits may be re , duced, we are confident that such a reduction will not prevent the continued increase of demand for our paten* , brandy. We are, Sir, Your most obedient Servants, J. T. BETTS, Jun. and Co. 7, Smithfield Bars, London. WINE FININGS.—An article of a new and certainly useful character for fining wine is advertised in our paper of to-day ; and so truly efficacious is it that one bottle is sufficient to rectify a hogshead of liquor, and the price does not exceed ss. per gallon. It is applicable to either port or sherry, and is warranted to keep any length of time. STEAM TO THE LAKES.—We are glad to find that the favourite steamer, Windermere' has again commenced Plying between this port and Ulverstone. She has been fitted with new boilers, condensers, &e., and the whole of her hull has been thoroughly ovrrhauled and repaired ; the cabin too has been redecorated, and no exertion has been spared to secure the comfort of those who ma d y during the insuing summer visit the picturesque an beautiful scenery of Cumberland a nd Westmorland. It is calculated that under all ordinary circumstances, the passage to Ulverstone will be wade in about 3 hours, THE never -failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to them a cele brity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times.

'CAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE X.._) TEA is an admixture of 40 rare Black Teas. produced on as many different plantations, each Tea differing from the rest, and possessing a flavour, a fragrance, or strength, peculiar to itself. Blended together in the proper pro portiona,•they comprise all that is desirable in Tea.- This discovery was not the effect of chance, but of many great advantages united in one individual, and the result of numerous experiments and the most minute analysis.. For another to produce the same result, he must possess equal skill, the same discriminating taste, equal power of procuring the forty various Teas required, and know the exact proportions of each kind used—and though he may never once have visited China, he must have had equal opportunities of securing to himself, its productions : with one who, like Captain Pidding, has spent years there in acquiring these advantages, and to whom alone How qua—years before his death—imparted at Canton, the secret of compounding his Mixture. Yet there are upwards of 500 retailers pretending to sell tea, they call " Howqua' s Mixture"—each mixture dif fering from all the others. Now as there can be but ONTE REAL " Howqua's Mixture," it follows that, as 500 dif: ferent medleys are offered-499 - must be spurious. The 499 counterfeits are so many evidences of the superiority of the ONE GENUINE. And it would be absurd to suppose that Captain Pidding, with advantages, the result of Eight Voyages made to China, and five years spent in that country, would be so silly—even were it possible —as to yield them up to 500 others, or impart to them §,o valuable a secret. _ _ The very great•celebrity this Tea has acquired, having tempted many unprincipled persons to give similar, or nearly similar titles to their own .spurious mixtures, to guard against such imposition, purchasers should observe that " THE SIGN ATU RE THUS, " Captain JOHN RHODES PIDDING, Honourable Company's Service, is on every genuine Package. To those who drink Green Tea. " Captain Pidding's.
