"A SAFE ON SAFE TERMB."—The attention rrf oar
readers is requested to an advertisement which appears
in our paper to-day, headed "Fire-proof Safes at Half-
Price,', from which it will be seen that a Provincial
Insurance Company having lately Isecomed merged in a
London °Moe, and having no further use for the Safes
and Deed Chests, lying at the various branch offices,
they have been returned to the manufacturers,to be sold
For half their cost ; but the most important feature is
that parties at a distance are requested not to remit the
money until the safe is received, when, if not found in
all respects satisfactory, it may be returned without
any cost whatever to the person ordering it, and as they
are sent carriage free to any station, it may prove
worth the attention of parties requiring one of those
useful articles.

Not the least attractive piece of light reading provi-
ded at this season for the amusement of legislators
during the recess, is the Report of the Commissioners
of Inland Revenue, lately published.—Successful as
the exciseman continues to he in extracting inoney
from our pockets, it is but fair to acknowledge one
incidental benefit which the public derives from leis
visits; they answer the purpose of a check on
adulteration. These is no part of this Blue-hook so
interesting to general readers as the .repot from Mr.
Phillips, the Principal of the Laboxirpory. Thsjg ii
reason to believe that the risk of being detectedvf Mm
is a greater terror to dishonest tradesmen, and,f greater
protection to consumers, than all the penal laws against
this species of fraud. During the lad three years 32,000
samples have . been analysed in the o'iymical
department, and, during the past year alone,
"103 persons were,upon scientific evidence
furnished by the Laboratory, prosecuted to
conviction; the penalties imposed amounting to
upwards of £3.000. ' This is very encouraging but, Mr.
Philips assures us that we "have but a faint idea of
the massiveness" of the evil against which we are
contending, and he despairs of making much impression
on it until the buyers of eatable commodities lean less
op mere outward show, and learn to consider quality
more, and pries less. Mr. Phillip's analyses range over
a great variety of articles, though not so large as that
embraced in the famous researches of Dr. Flasaall. The
most inveterate of adulterations, however, is changing
the appearance of bleak tea to green tea, by colouring
it with the same colour the Chinese use en green tee
and upoi this point the conscienoes of tea-desk!'" seem
to be hopelessly callous. One of them addressed a
letter to the Commissioners of Inland Itrrenne, which

' really deserves publicity. It was in these words :
" Londtin. April 29, 1882. Geutleman,—& morally of
green tea having taken place. while we have an
abundant supply of black tea this season, Isbell b 3
much obliged by • reply to the following questions :—ls
it legally right to colour black tea of • green hue, or
vice versa, the too having duly paid the legitimate duty?
--Your most obedient servant,— —." This is much
the game as asking whether, there being a sad scarcity
of sovereigns and a good supply of shillinea, it is allow:
able to turn the latter into the former by the aid of a
yellow wish ; for the original cost of low black tea is only
'one-tenth as much MA fine green. The Commies
sioners four this use of green pigments, and the
"Acing)* of old tea-leaves with Prussian blue and
gum, have become "a regular and recognised part of
some tea-dash:re' business." This] kind of fraud may
receive a cheek by increased vigilance on the part or
the public. The worst is, that the most subtle " sophis-
tication" of tea is effected in Chins by mixing it with
nodules made up of sand, gum ~ and dust, and ' black-
ened fragments of rjuartz." It is high time that
vigorous steps shdteld be taken to stop this wholesale
pollution of our favourite beverage. If all tea was
from this time imported uncoloured, who then could
get rid of "nodules mitee op of sand, gam, and dust,
and broken, quartz ?" Even old brown wintry leaves
could not be longer disguised, and so made to counter-
foil the finer descriptions. We cannot legislate
against the Chinese, as our ancestors legislated against
those at home who counterfeited tea; but Government
might mike rush cult-3m-house regulations as would
teach our acute tea merchants that honeaty is the best
policy. Suppose all their importations of coloured tea
to be forfeited, or even if they were charged double
duty on the painted sorts, we should have no fear of
their continuing to allow the Chinese to send adul-
terated tea.—Tienee Leading Article, August 15th,
1862.

Lord Brougham made another speech on WedneedaY
at Carlisle, on the American question. Alluding to
the late speeches in favour of the recognition made by
Mr. Roebuck and others his lordship said be thought th•
counsel was thoughtless and unwise. Such a course
would, he maintained, only make the quarrel more
bitter, and the only way in which we could 'secure our
own peace and comfort, and oontributelowerds putting•
stop to the odious quarrel, was by maintaining absolute
neutrality and "non-intervention in every sense of the
• word." The audience appewr to have been of the same
opinion, his lordship's remarks having been received
with "cheers."

THE NEW LONDON ConOtreg. Dr. Lankeater,
whoss salary as coroner for Cei.tral Middlesex is £1,220,
has sent a memorial claiming to be paid at so much for
each inquest, ashis present salary is insufficient in eons-
parison with the work and other coroners' salaries.
A LONG-FELT PAOLI° WANT SUPPLIED.—A Patent
lies inst, been granted for the Minufacture of a new Oil
for illuminating purposes. This oil •is known as the
PATENT CAZILINE OIL, its advantages are great, there
is no danger in its use, its perfect safety being guaran-
teed. It produces a most powerful light, and yields no
offensive odour; it is truly economical, and will burn
in any paraffin or hydro-carbon lamp. Messrs. Classm,
1311111 f, and Co., 80, Fenchnrch Street, London, are ap-
pointing Agents for its sale in all parts of the 'United
Kingdom.

PORORASS OF lIEGLISH STEAMERS By THE FRENCH
GOVEIINMENT.—Acoounts from Cherbourg of the 21st
inst., state that the French Government has just pur-
chased two English steamers, for the transport°, horses
to Mexico; one which arrived in the roads on Iliosly
has received the name of La Charente. and the
which is to receive the name of the Indre, is expeated
at Cherbourg every moment. These two ships are each
to be commanded by a lieutenant in the navy, with a
crew of fifty men. The French Government ima like-
wise chartered two large English steamers; one the
Palikari, is anchored in t roads; the other, the I:Tna,
is shortly expeeted.—Times.

A CatioeirV. —A great rarity in the shape of coin
has lately been sold at Paris—namely, • silver one
struck off oh Breslau in 1751. Among the persons
employed at the time in the Mint was an Austrian who,
out of hatred to Frederic 11. of Prussia, who had token
poosestion of 'Silesia by right of conquest, conceived the -
idea of revenging himself on that monarch in the
following manner : —The motto on the coin, "Bin
reichs tinder" (a crown of the kingdom) he divided in
such.• manner as to make it read, "Bin reich stabler"
(he stole a kingdom.) The King ordered those insulting
coins to be melted down, but some few of them del.
exist.
A letter from the camp at Chalons describes um hi&
dent which took place at a banquet which followedthe
manoeuvres • few days since: —"About the-middie of
the dinner the Prince Imperial entered the hall, oind,-as
usual, took • sea near the Emperor. hfaithal Ranfleit,
moved by the presence of the young prince, then rose,
and proposed 'The health of the Prince Iniperial, the
hope of the army which was drank with enthusiasm.
The prince, to whom the Emperor had given a few drops
of champagne, replied by saying: 41 drink to the
health of the army!' Then, after a short pause, he
added, with astonishing energy for a child of his Age,
'and I hope to become a good soldier.'"

ADMIRAL FITZROY AMTICIPATZD.—A very singular
fact on the subject of electricity is mentioned by
Bianchini. There had existed from time immemorial
in one of the bastions of the Castle of Duino, situated
in the Frione on the banks of the Adriatic, • pointed
iron-rod, standing in a vertical position. in summer,
when the weather had the appearance of being stormy,
the soldier who mounted guard in this bastion examined
the iron rod, and presented to it the point of an iron
keibert, which was always ready for this purpose, and
whenever he perceived that the iron rod gave sparks,
or displayed a small gerb of fire at its point, he rang
a bell, to give notice to the country people who were
working in the fields, or to the fishermen who were at
sea, that stormy weather was approaching. This
custom was of great antiquity' and is mentioned by
Lam perati, ie a letter dated. 1602.

MURDOCH THE IN VENTOR.—Somewhere about the
year 1780, an runs the tale, a travelling millwright—in
tit we days the- kings of mechanics—footsore and with
the broadest northern Doric accent, stopped at Soho, •
locality once indicative of field sports, but then the
engine faded), of Boulton and Watt, and asked for
work. His wed was little better than one of "beggar',
and poor looks," and Mr. Boulton had bidden him God
speed to some other workshop, whenots he was turning
away sorrowfully, Mr. Boulton suddenly called him
back:—" What kind of hat's yon ye have on your bead,
my man r—" just timmer, sir."—" Timber, my
man, let's look at it. Where did you get it?"—".l just
made it, sir, my ainsel' !"—" How did you make it In,—
" I just turned films the lathie."—But it's oval, mewl
aside lathe turns things round)"—" Awed I I just gar'd
the lathe gang anither gate to please me. I'd a long
journey afore me, an' I thoct I'd have a hat to keep out
water; and I hadna muckla siller to spare, and I just
made ane." By his inborn mechanism the man had in.
vented the oval lathe, and made his hat, and the hat
made his fortune. Mr. Boulton was not the man to
lose so valuable s helper, at least in those days, when
ood men were scarce, and so after the famous William
Murdoch took seit and service under Boulton sod Watt,
and in 1784 made the Arst wheel vehicle impelled by
steam in this England of ours—made it with the very
hands and brain-cunning that had before produced the
" tinenes hat." Out of that seed, after 73 years of sow-
ing and reaping its produce, • goodly crop has sprung
up, that, like the grain of mustard-seed, replenishes
the civilised earth, and will yet civilise the uncivilised
, world.
ROYAL PARDON FOR THI REV. .1. LIVESET.—IHDDe
diately alter the close of the trial at York the Rev. J.
Livesey forwarded to the Home °Mee • memorial re-
presenting the circumstances under whims he had been
convicted, and begging for a pardon from the Queen.
This of course could not affect the imprisonment, as
the term was short; but there were the ulterior eon-
sequences, which would have been very serious to •
person in Mr. Livesey's position, a conviction for
felony cruising a forfeiture of all personal property,
and of all civil rights, such as the power to bring ad
action at law, kc.. On Thursday 'morning the royal
warrant (with Her Majesty's autograph), conveying the
pardon, was received at Mr. Livesey's retidenae. This
removes the taint of conviction, and restores Mr.
Livesey to precisely the same civil status he held before
the trial. It may be remarked that no influence has
been used with the Secretary of State beyond the
simple statement of the facts nt the case by Mr. Livesey.
A. STRANGB ANNOUNCEMENT.—We have authority to
state that the Marchionesa of Queensberry, who has
lately become a Roman Catholic, left her resident*,
near Weybridge, some days ago, clandestinely, taking
with her the three youngest of her six fatherless
children, and leaving no clue to her place of hiding.
There is no doubt that the guardians and the nearest
relatives of the late Marquis have the power to truce
her ladyship's flight, and through the strong arm of
English law to rescue her children and make them
wards in Chancery.—Cflobe.

There is a growing objection amongst the consumers
of tea, to the Chinese pi sotioe of colouring it, especially
since the °facial information given on the subject be-
fore the Parliamentary Committee on Food Adultera-
tions, disclosed the fact, that the mineral 'facing' weal
on the leaf comes off on infusion, and is imbibed when
the tea is drank. The public) will, therefore, be pleased
to learn that many additional cargoes of pure uncoloured
tea have recently come in, per Empress of India, and
other ships. Pureliaters will do well to beer in mind
that pure tea is a dun olive- not bluish—pure black
is Asses inatensely dark. Ifornimern é Co., London,
devote theirentire attention to this important &Aide,
and to meet public requirements for strong, delicious,
and wholesome tea, import it without any artificial
e door on the sedum ; they supply it in packets through
2,280 Agents.
