When first introduced into England, pure wholesome
Tea was alone imported, Dr. Samuel Johnson liked
such, and the frequenters of "Gas-ways" in the time of
Charles the Second obtained such, end recent events
have fully proved, that a large portion of the publie
will hare such now, in preference to the usual
'artificially faced' sorts ; to meet this demand, Metier&
Horniman were the first to import pure uncoloured
green tea direct from China, per ships Cherokee' and
Tambalu' ; a large sale has ever since been experienced ;
the stock in the London Decks last month, was by the
printed returns upwards of one million pounds; since
then two ships have arrived with entire cargoes of
pure uncloured. Horniman's teas possess extraordinary
strength, the Black is not intensely dark, the Green is of
• natural dull olive hue,—not tinted bluish, like that
usually sold. Agents as advertised.
Thirty wrecks are reported has having taken place
during the second week in April, making a total for the
present year of 659.
Tits INTERNATIONAL ETRIBITION--Coarantors and
others invited to be present at the opening ceremony
ou the lot of May have the option of appearing in
I uniform, official or Court dress, or in private morning
dress; and according te their choice of dress, so will
they be placed in reserved seats. Ladies will appear in
morning dress, and will not be separated from the
gentlemen by whom they are accompanied.—By order
of Her Majesty's Commissioners. F. R. Sauford, Secre-
tary.
SWEET SIMPLICITY.— At • small evening party, not
very long ago, an elderly lady mentioned • family of
the name of Homer, much respected in a certain neigh-
bourhood. Somebody present—with the pleasantry
adapted to small evening parties, exclaimed, "Pray,
madam, are they descended from the great Homer?"
On which the old I.nly replied, with great emphasis,
"Oh, yes, sir; and not a little proud they are of it, I
can assure you l" This r.iminds one of the French
abbe who was introduced at • dinner party to • gentle-
omen of the name of Robinson, celebrated for dressing
in' rather en eccentric seeming—a green• teat, bunting
sap, and baokakin broaatioa. Tha abb. %Wigs lifted

his fork to his month and thrice laid it down with an
rag,er stare of surprise, then suddenly burst out with
—'' Excuse me, sir ; are you the famous Robinson Crime
so remarkable in history?"
The Coventry General Relief Fund have held their
final meeting, at which a series of repoits were read,
which show that in all cases of reel distress and deeti-
ttition the better side of our common nature is promi-
nently displayed. lir ordcr to mitigate the Coventry
distress we learn that the total awn subscribed by the
public amounted to £41,801 Be. 61. Of this sum
1:25 571 7a. 103. um; spcnt in actual weekly relief ;
£1,915 Ida. 61. in clothing cud blankets and in the
redemption of clothing ft-o,lk the pawnbrokers. exclusive
of a large quantity of clothing sent (coin all parts al
the country. In the alteration of looms for the
operatives to meet a slight revival of trade that took
plan oin February, 1861, there were £3,500 spent ; in
employing able-bodied operatives iu out-door labour
0,492 loa. 10,1. were appropriated, and in private
money gifts to the better clans of operatives, to enable
them to get over the most trying period of the distress
without coming permanently on the general relief fund,
£2,061 15s. 6d. were expended. In emigration £766
Is. 11.1. wero invested, and the management of this
large fund has only cost £4OO Se. 111. During the
worst period the number of persons on the fund was
20,600, end the average number in receipt of relief
during the entire period the fund was being distributed
was 14,000. We learn that on Sunday two hundred
and forty of the poor Coventry weavers left Liverpool
for Quebec, awl that about the end of tire month thirty-
five female adult weavers will he vent to Queensland
by the eniip-ation eommissionera. The woolen will be
clothed my the Coventry committee, and each will
receive £5 in addition.

RATHER Ricn !—" Manhattan," writing from New
York, says :—"Never has this city been so orderly as it
has boon since the commencement of this war; crime
in our ntresdo has been less frequent. All ths ruffians,
cut throats, and thieves are in the army of the
Potomac, and the morale of New York are much
improved."
Loots BROUGHAII.—The numerous friends of the
noble and harned lord will be glad to learn that by the
lost letters front Cannes no was in robust health. On
his way home to England his lordship proposes to make
a short stay in Paris. His lordship is expected in town
after the Easter recess.
IRON GUNBOATS FOR THE HANN! TOWNS.—The
Northern German Gazette state, that the naval encoun-
ter between the Merrimac and Monitor has created great
excitoment at Hamburg. Public opinion calls upon the
Senate to co.-ne to an undtretanding with Bremen
for the immediate construction of several iron-cased
gunboats for the proteetion of the coasts of Northern
Germany.

Loom:lei INTO the course of lest year
33,542 searches for wills were made at Doctors' Com•
icons by the public. How many of the searches were
made by the business public, and how man) by the
on ions public, is best known to the parties concerned.
STRANGE SCENE IN HYDE PARR.—OR Sunday
morning, according to an announcement pablicly
advertised, Mr. Richard Hibbs, M.A., of St. John's
College, Car,bridge, a clergyman of the Church of Eng-
land, preached in Hyde Park on the subject of deaths
from stsrvation in London. The sermon consisted
j_rincipally of • denunciation of the "fashionable vices"
of the day, one of which—the practice of paying two or
three hundred a year for a box at the opera—appeared
to be particularly objectionable to him, extracts from
the Registrar-General's reports and leading article, of
newspapers. Near to him was stationed a man with
a broad Scotch accent, who was discoursing on the
errors of Mormonism. In consequence of constant inter-
ruptions he lest his temper, and appealed to two consta-
bles of the A Division, who were listening to his
discourse, to interfere on his behaif. One of them
politely told him that he was not obliged to remain
there, and that if lie went away the uproar would cease.
He did not act upon the hint, but continued his exposi-
tions, and in the course of a few minutes a desperate
fight took place, and the Scotchman lost the whale of
his congregation, who took more interest in the quarrel
than in his discourse. In another part of the pack
two or three young men, apparently students of the
Dissenting ministry, were expounding extreme
Evangelical views, bat they had few listeners.

DEATH FRO STARVATION.—An inquest was held on
Faturday evening at the Lord Wellington Tavern,
Stepney, before Mr. Walthew, deputy-coroner, for East
Middlesex, on the body of a child named Edmund
Althain, aged 3 year& The mother of the deceased
stated that her husband was • house-painter, living
at No. 27, Alpha-place, and in consequence of his net
having had any employment during the winter the
whole family had been in • state of the most abject
poverty. They had often been many days without food.
On Sunday evening, the 6th, her youngest child
appeared to be very ill, and she took him to a doctor,
who ailininiitered medicine, but without avail, as he
died next morning. He had never been ill before, and
he attributed bin death to at rvation. The poor
woman said it was hopeless to apply to the parish for
relief, as the authorities would not grant it unless the
whole family went into the house, which would have
ruined all their prospects. Dr. Afaskell, who made a
post mortent examination of the body, said the organs
were all healthy but perfectly bloodless. The body was
reduced to mere skin and bone, the stomach was quite
empty, and there could be no doubt that death bad
resulted entirely from starvation. After some observa-
tions by the Deputy-Coroner on the melancholy facts of
the case, the jury returned a verdict of " Died from
absolute starvation."

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A WELL-KNOWN " TUREITE."
—An inquest was held at the Great Western railway
station, Cheltenhein, on Monday afternoon, touching
the death of a well-known character connected with
riving matters, known by the name of Henry Davis,
who met with his death under the following circnin-
stance.. The deceased came into Cheltenham on the
(lay previous to tl,e steeple chases, and took up his
quarters at the house of Mr Jag. Tanner, the Horse and
Groom, St. George's Place, where lie made himself
known an the proprietor of a roulette table. He re-
mained there hiring the whole of the week, and retired
to bed about 12 o'clock on Saturday night. In about
half an hour afterwards lie called to Mr Tanner for •
light, saying he could not sleep, and he must get up
"to walk the beer off." A light was procured for Min,
and he left the house, returning about eight the
fodowing morning, when he partook of umne breakfast.
He again left the house, and about nine o'clock was
seen between the rails on the Great Western railway,
in a state of insensibility. The evidence went on to show
that the deceased had not been run over, but had been
suffering from dela ium tremens, and it was supposed
that lie had wandered about, and elid down the embank-
ment on to the lolls, where he wag found by Mr Andrew
Paul, an architeat, of Cheltenham, who gave an alarm,
and summoned several workmen from a shed to the
spot where the deceased lay. He was conveyed to the
Great Western station, and though two medical gentle-
men were immediately summoned, lie died in about two
hours—the medical evidence showing that he had died
from serous apoplexy, though lie had evidently been
suffering froin delirium tremens. Verdict, " Died from
natural causes."
THE GREAT EASTERN.—The Great EMAFTTI was
removed from the gridiron on Wednesday morning, and
steamed off to Milford grandly. It will be remembered
that she was beached in February last, for the purpose
of fixing the new paddle-wheels and completing other
repairs; these have beau done, and the ship has been
reed-red as perfect in all respects as money, experience,
and forethought can make her. The additional
strength imported into the new paddle-wheels and
stern-post will, it is believed, render a recurre-ace of
the di•aster of September last simply impossible. In
the saloon and atate-rooins many improvements
conducive to the comfort of passengers have been
made, and no expense has been spared to render
the ship what she ought to be—a floating hotel She
is to leave Milford for New York in about three
weeks from this time. Special arrangements have
been made wi h the various railway companiee to
convey passengers and their friends to the port of
departure at reduced rates, and there hone doubt that
large numbers both of saloon and eteerage passengers
will avail themselves of low fares and unequalled com-
fort to cross the Atlantic in this noblest rpecimen of
England's enterprise, and thus reward the proprietors for
the perseverance they have exhibited under the most
untoward circumstances.

A PROBABLE CHRONOLOGY.-1860. Mr. Armstrong,
of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, invents rifled ordnance that
will knock any ship to pieces. He is knighted, and
the Admiralty is benighted. 1861. The Admiralty
recovers, and invents iron ships that resist any known
cannon-balls. 1862. Sir William Armstrong invents a
gun that smashes the iron ships into blacksmithereens.
The Admiralty collapses. 1863. The Admiralty re-
ex panda and invents elation ships fastened with diamond
cement, and Sir William Armstrong's balls fly to pieces
like bon-bons. Mr. Gladstone doubles the income-tax.
1864. Sir William Armstrong invents brazen thunder-
bolts (supposed to be the original Jupiters) and in a
leasing experiMent sends the greater part of the British
fleet to the bolt m of the sea. 1865. The Admiralty
invents torpedo vessels which sail under water, and
below any range of guns. Sir William Armstrong tears
his hair and swears in the Newcastle dialect. 1866.
Sir Wiliam Armstrong invents a vertical gun that
discharges Gretk fire straight down. and • second time
lie deatioys the greater part of the British fleet. Tbe
Isores of the Admiralty are about to hang themselves,
when a thought ttrikea them, and they don't. Mr.
Gladstone again doublcs this income-tax. 1867. Dr.
Cumming, who has for some weeks been having in his
coals by the sack only, soddenly proclaims the
Millennium. As there is now to be peace everywhere,
the Admiralty does not invent anything, but waits to
see. In order to test Dr. Cumming's veracity, and
to find out whether lions will lie down with kids,
the Zoelogical Society (against the advice of their
excellent secretary, Mr. Selater) let loose their
biggest lion while a charity school is in the gardens.
As the lion, instead of lying down with a kid,
only lies down to digest him, the Admiralty thinks there
is some mistake somewhere and determines to invent a
new fleet. Mr. Gladstone once more doubles the
income-tax. 1868. The Admir Ity invents a stone
fleet, with cork keels, and defies Sir William Arm-
strong. 180. Sir William Armstrong invents the
Hannibal, or alp-shell which contains tke strongest
vinegar, and melts the stone ships. Having for the
third time destroyed the British fleet, he is raised to
the peerage as Lord Bomb. 1870. The Admiralty
invents a aerial fleet, which sails in the cl mds, out of
shot range, and the First Lord takes • double sight at
Sir William Armstrong. Mr. Gladstone a fourth time
doubles the income-tax. 1871. Lord Bomb invents a
a balloon battering-train, and in an experimental
discharge brings down all the British fleet into the
German Ocean. 1872. The Admiralty in desperation,
invents a subterranean fleet, which is to be oonVeyed by
tunnels to all the colonies, but Mr. Gladstone blandly
suggests that, as everybody now pays twice his income
in taxes, the people may object to further imposts
unless come proof of economy is given. Government,
therefore, stop the pensions of 100 superannated clerks,
discharge some extra-night porters at the Treasury, and
bring in estimates for the subterranean fleet. 1873.
Lord Bomb invents his typhreons, or earthquake ehells:
and suffocates the British fleet in the Tasmania Tunnel.
Mr. Gladstone a fifth time doubles the income tax.
1874. The Emperor of the French proclaims the
Millennium, which of course immediately occur.; no
more war-ships are wanted, and the collectors remit
the quarters' incommtax not, yet doe. Lord .Fordb
invents his volcano fireworks in honour of the OROillion,
