UDGATE-HILL OLD TEA-WARE-
A HOUSE. The PARTNERSHIP lately subsisting between
my Father, Mr. FREDERICK SPARROW, and Uncle RO-
BERT, being DISSOLVED, and the Premises, No. 8, obliged to
be closed, the Business is now carried on by myself, at No. 39,
LUDGATE-HILL, directly opposite (being two doors below the
Belle Sauvage), under the superintendence and superior judgment
of my Father, matured by more than thirty years' experience in sr-
lecting the best Teas that can be procured from the Stock of the
East India Company, and other respectable importers, where, owing
to the immense losses sustained by most dealers and importers since
the opening of the free trade, I have been enabled to make my pur-
chases 30 to 40 per cent. under the importation cost, which will in-
sure to the public much greater advantage, both in price and qua-
lity, that can be given by those Houses who have a large stock of
teas on hand ; and hope by continued attention, to be favoured
with that patronage and support so liberally bestowed upon the late
firm. As it is my determination to sell every article at the smallest
profit, no credit whatever can be given.

A clumsy younker wrote to his friends in the
country that he was about to try the stage for a livelihood, and
was coming out on Thursday night. He hoped they would
lend him all the assistance in their power. He received, in
answer, a warm great coat, several pair of thick stockings, a
long horsewhip, and a pair of leather gloves, with a letter,
containing some information about horses, and a charge not
to drive fast down hill, as the roads were very slippery, and
that, as he was coming out in the evening, the family would be
sure to sit up for him.

On the afternoon of Tuesday, Mr. John Chapman,
butcher, of Egham, committed suicide at Stanwell, by shoot-
ing himself with a horse-pistol. The deceased, who was -an
old inhabitant of this place, and was highly respectesl, has been
in an exceedingly n.rvous state of mind for a long time since.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL' S-YESTERDAY.
THE DEEM

The betting was rather flat at the commencement, but rallied
towards the close, and for the last hour was uncommonly animated.
The two cracks were backed for about two hundred each at 8 to 1,
and the same odds afterwards offered against them. Phantasima,
Mango, Dardanelles, and Wintonian; found supporters at last
week's prices without making any advance ; indeed, the only horses
that derived any actual improvement from the money laid out
were—Caravan, Troilus, and Mahometan, who are severally five
points better than on the last betting day. Three new outsiders
made their debut, viz.—Mustee, Victorine colt, and Chadlington
(all in John Day's stables), the odds being taken about each to
fifty or sixty pounds, at 100 to 1 ; Chadlington ran, a severe race
with Defender at Stockbridge; but has since been amiss. At a
much later hour than usual the betting closed as follows :-

London line of packet ship, the Mediator, have given satisfac-
tion, as they represent that trade was very active there in
British manufactures as well as other goods. The exchange
on London had been quoted as high as 104 premium. The
packet has brought over, we understand, about 10,0001. in so-

This is the first large importation of gold which we had reported
since the drain for it for exportation commenced last year.

The fate of the Ministry is now in the balance. The
Irish Corporation Bill, the Bill on which they have deter-
mined to try their strength and to stake their political ex-
istence, is again under discussion. Whatever may be its
sctccess in the House of Commons, there is little doubt but
ft will be finally rejected by the Legislature and by the na-
-1 tion. Our readers cannot have forgotten the manner in
which Lord John Russell introduced this Bill some nights
ago. They cannot have forgotten how his Lordship con-
trived to incumber the question with the defence of Lord
Mulgrave's pranks in the emptying of gaols, in the distri-
bution of law offices, magisterial appointments, and other
freaks of power which have characterised his Lordship's
performance of royalty on the theatre of the Sister Island.
But an inquiry naturally suggests itself--why was the ques-
tion of Corporations for Ireland thus incurnbered and con-
founded ? We answer, for the very reason expressed in
those terms. The simple question of whether the poli-
tical introduction of the same municipal institutions into
that country which have been introduced into England
and Scotland, was too plain and direct to answer the pur-
poses of party manamvre. It is the usual process of
reasoning (when fair reasoning is intended) to set aside
all extraneous matter—to cut away excrescences and ex-
uberances of every kind, instead of ingrafting and ino-
culating the parent stock with their injurious varieties.
But such a process did not suit the present policy of Mi-
nisters. Still, however, as the debate advances the confu-
sion begins to subside, the real question stands out more
promptly, and the artificial incumbrances drop down of
their own weight and disappear. Any one who reads the
debate of last night will recognise this improvement in dis-
cussion. Lord F. Egerton, though he could not altogether
disembarrass it from the topics with which it was so art-
fully overlaid, did much by his temperate and manly speech
to simplify the confusion. Most of the speeches that fol-
lowed, however objectionable some of them might be in
other respects, seemed to have benefitted in that particu-
lar ; they applied closer to the question. But the striking
effort of the night was Lord Stanley's eloquent and masa.
terly appeal. We do not envy the understanding that
could resist its influence, nor the ingenuity that could per-
vert its meaning, for the only purpose that persuasion can
serve—deceit. Upon the whOle, we may pronounce with
confidence, that up to the present moment the discussion
has been atriumphant one for the:Opposition in that House,
nhich the Ministers boast of as their strong-hold. But
though the triumph of argument does not necessarily im-
ply its success on a division, the impression which it is cal-
culated to make upon the public mind will not go for nc-
thing. A little time will be sufficient to show whether its
nflucnce may not be more extensive than circumstances
ave hitherto conspired to pronounce.—lliwating Herald.

MANUELLA, A. ROMANCE OF MADRID.—A
novelist could scarcely select a better locale for a work of fic-
tion than Spain, especially when the present agitated state of
that country is considered ; as, independently of its national
peculiarities, dear to romance beyond those of any other land,
we have now battles, sieges, and Court intrigues, to keep the
reader's attention perpetually on the alert. The plot of this
tale is involved in a mystery which cannot fail to be dear to
the lovers of romance ; and the characters, both real and ficti-
tious, are conceived and delineated with the subtle hand of a
master. Nothing can be more touching than the heroine,
Manuella, whose many trials and sorrows entitle her to rank
with that tribe of female martyrs evoked almost into actual
existence by the spells of genius. Such personations as this
seem to give reality to the airy realms of romance; and recol-
lection dwells on them as though they were creatures of flesh
and blood, and not mere phantoms of imagination.—Naval
and Military Gazette.

Among the efforts of eloquence in the House of
Commons last night, none appears to have created so general
a sensation as the speech of Mr. Borthwick. No sooner was

it found that the Honourable Member had possession of the
House than a general commotion was observed on the Tory
benches, which presently afterwards took a direction towards
the door, and ultimately became a rush towards the lobby. By
a singular coincidence the other side of the House appeared to
concur in the propriety of this course, and joined the " Move-
ment party." This appears to have had. some effect on the
Tories, who were observed to return to their seats ; and shortly
afterwards, silence having been restored, the Hon. Member
was allowed to proceed with his speech ; but unfortunately not
twenty of those deluded Whigs for whose benefit it was con-
cocted had remained in the House to profit by it.—Morning
Paper.

SATAN AND HIS PERRS.—We would seriously
ask certain parties why the new novel of " The Gambler's
Dream, or Satan and his Peers," should have been issued to the
world on the same day that the commission for opening Par-
liament was issued ? Was it accidental, or was it intentional ?
No sooner was the publication known to have excited much
uneasiness in the minds of a leading few than it suddenly be-
came sought after by all classes of readers. There is most
assuredly a searching, a powerful, and at times a fearful in-
terest in " The Gambler's Dieam," the characters in which
are admirably cloaked in mystery ; nevertheless, in Satan and
his Peers—who are made to narrate their dark influences
upon earth, and give episodes of their lives that are truly start-
ling—the attentive reader may discover terrible, yet graphic,
portraitures of a knot of influential coroneted men, for many
sessions a plague on both our Houses.—Morning Paper.

On Saturday Mr. William Hopkins, landlord of the
public-house at Bridgend, desired a young man named Wiliam
John, of Newton, who was conducting himself improperly, to
leave his house, which he refused to do. Hopkins obtained
assistance, and put him out. The fellow, when released from
the bands of the ejectors, deliberately took a large clasp-knife
from his pocket, opened it, and stabbed Hopkins several times
in the side and bowels, after which he made his escape, but
was taken on the following day at Lianelly. Hopkins died
shortly after of the wounds.—Hereford Journal.
On Wednesday a young gentleman named Gun,
about 13 years old, who was on a visit to Dr. Bevan, of Mon-
mouth, to whose lady he was a near relation, went out to
shoot sparrows in the neighbourhood ; in addition to his guu
he had provided himself with a small pocket pistol, which he
carried loaded about his person. In consequence of the youth
not returning at his accustomed time, great anxiety was felt
and search made through the neighbouring woods, when ul-
timately the poor boy was discovered doubled up near a hedge,
in a field near the house; the pistol had by some means gone
off, killing him on the spot. Mr. Gun, the father of the deceased
is now on the continent.—Hereford Journal.
We rejoice in having to record the further triumph
of Liberal opinions in this town. While the whole country is
simultaneously petitioning Parliament for the abolition of
Church-rates, Northampton wanted one further demonstration
of feeling to show that the opinion of the town was in favour,
of their entire and immediate abolition. This was given on
Monday last, at the first open meeting of the Council._

Mr. C hambrith, our English physician, attached to
several legations, and who enjoyed a highly honourable re-
putation, has died suddenly at his own residence. He is
deeply regretted by those to whom he was known.—Brussels'
