The Chinese have long obtained large increased profit
by mating with mineral colour the tea intended for the
hoses of England. This extraordinary custom enables a
high price to be obtained for the 01.1 brown worthbea
leave', as they purposely colour both the worthless
Autumn and the choies spring growth& alike, and all
are thereby enabled to be sold at the same high rates.
Th• mineral colour not only Isparta to the leaf a
deceptive value and inereasee the price to the English
consumer, but it interferes with the wholmomeneu of
this favourite beverage. Horniman's pure green is a
natural dark olive, not blvish; their pure black is not
intensely dark: these Mae are far cheaper and better In

From all we am learn, there is a mocking spirit
amongst the fraternity of the reporters. They laugh at

but sae fsith in politicians or p. litie., and they ate apt;
to he scept,exl as to human virtue. This is their

profes.ions of such lofty patriotism, of nett deep love
of country, of such attachment to principles and
opinions, of soch abnegation of self, that it is quite
amazing how they can remain so hardened in incredulity.
We would recommend Ur. Harper and his friends of
the Protestant Alliance not to he too Iprd on the

Evangelicalion of the Marquis of Westmeath is
broken, with other parliamentary virtues and idols.—
