/SHE TEA ESTABLISHMENT,
1 Ns. R, LITHGATE-HILL_THE BEST—THE CHEAPEST.
The question is often debated, Where Is the best market to buy the
necessaries of lifo ? amon; the more important f which may be
enumerated tea, cone, and sugar. There exist different opinions, as
is sure to bo the case, and ever will be, until people knew how to
decide c hat onstitutes chcapne3s.
Tea is an article of such general consumption that its quality and
price are very essential considerations. There exists great difficulty
in judging its value by appearance, and families, to secure good
qualities, are frequently induced to pay extravagant prices. Why
should this be? The importations for several years have been re-
markably large, comprising unusually fine selections ; the markets
have ruled low; and the public are fairly entitled to the advantages
arising therefrom. _

Our invariable custom is to accommodate our prices with the mar-
ket currency. We are enabled at present to sell exceedingly good
Black Tea at 3s. 4d.; very superior at 3s. Bd.; and very full and
fine flavoured at 4s. For the Finest Black Tea imported we are
charging only ss. per pound.
Coffees are also very reasonable, notwithstanding the recent ad-
vance in prices. We can confidently recommend good Coffee at
Is 2d. ; very good at ls. 4d. ; and very choice at Is. 6d. ; and la. Bd.
per pound for the finest.
We invite a comparison of our articles and prices.

L PENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
►. The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to he the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
rey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duce's by one application a pleasing and permanent change.
While other dyes destroy the hair by their pernicious properties,
'his liquid promotes its growth, nourishing the roots to the latest
period •f life. Persons who have been deceived by preparations
which have a horrible stench (dangerous to the head), troublesome
in their application, and unsatisfactory in their colour, will find
Spencer's Chinese Liquid Hair Dye a distinct article, agreeable in
every respect, and that " none but itself can be its paraliel." Price
3s. 6d., 65., and 10s. per bottle.

redundant bile, &c., &c., with so little inconvenience ; I am there-
fore warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means lam,
wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe-
cially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most
valuable resource in an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit
to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making
Frampton's P". 13 more generally known and appreciated.—l am,
Sir, relfectiully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH."

On the occasion of the departure of her Majesty's
ship Albatross, after her recent successful expedition,
Captain Farquhar and his officers gave an entertain-
ment to Sir James Brooke and the European inha-
bitants of Sarawak. After dinner, Captain Farquhar,
in an able and complimentary speech, proposed the
health of Sir James Brooke, which was enthusiastic-
ally pledged by his numerous guests assembled. Sir
James's reply was in substance as follows
"He felt deeply the honour which had 5 just
been paid to him ; for several and different reasons he
prized this compliment greatly, and in returning his
thanks he would take this opportunity of refuting
some statements which had recently appeared in a
Singapore newspaper." After mentioning his reasons
he proceeded thus :—" lie would treat the matter
without passion ; it was very evident that the person
who furnished those statements had been present
during the expedition, and he would acquit him
of any malicious intention in offering his crude
and ignorant observations to the public, without
having positively ascertained the truth or false-
hood of what he so rashly advanced ; he need not
add that these statements were false and baseless,
and must have emanated from a most ignorant person.
This greedy informer has doubted whether the
people of Sarebas, residing on the .Rembas river,
attacked through the Kaluka were pirates, and has
made one or two as extraordinary statements as err
emanated from ignorance, and which were greedily
set forth to the discredit of a public paper. Every
statement there made is recklessly false or shamelessly
distorted ; he would notice one or two of the most
striking examples,
and if on reading this confutation
from a person whose hands are officially tied, he re-
avers his statement, he must be a rascal indeed. It
is there said that four peaceful and unarmed men
were decoyed aboard the small boat called the Ular,
and subsequently slaughtered in cold blood ; the fact
being that they were fully armed, they were people
of Rembas, and after wounding two of the Ular's men,
were killed resisting in their own boat without a word
being uttered by them. They had some sirih ; but
is a pirate the less a pirate because he sells crum-
pets ? Then again, it is said a single toothless old man,
floating on the river, was barbarously massacred ;
the fact was that he was in his war costume, return-
ing from a head hunting expedition at Sassung ; he
was a large powerful young man, and fought despe-
rately to the last; and might he not Ask, how would

S VMPATII 1 with LEDRIT ROLLIN.
Last night a meeting convened by the " Fraternal
Democrats" was held at the Farringdon-hall, Snow-
hill, for the purpose of " adopting addresses of.tym-
pathy to the citizen Ledru Rollin and his brave corn-
patriotq, who have just been sentenced to transporta-
tion for life," &c. The hall was crowded by an
assemblage composed of the usual attendants upon
Chartist meetings, with a good sprinkling of women
and youths, or, as one of the speakers termed •the
latter, " men of the future."
Mr. BUCHANAN, who moved a resolution condem-
natory of the French expedition to Rome, insisted
that Ledru Roltin in opposing the Government bad
gone no further than had been done in this country in
1688, and only sought to do what was now recog-
nised by the law of this land as perfectly con-
stitutional.
Mr. BRONTERRE O'BRIEN followed, and argued
that Ledru Rollin, in protesting against the violation
of the constitution by the French Government, had
only exercised the duty expected from him as a
representative of the people. He (Mr. O'Brien)
lamented that the ignorance of a large portion of the
population of France, particularly the agricultural
portion, was so great that they were incapable of
selecting the right sort of representatives to keep
their rascally Government in check. After adverting
to the mercantile power of England, which he said
had ever been the greatest means of depriving Europe
of the full benefits of the three revolutions of France,
and which power must be put down ere any effectual
good for the people could be done, the speaker con-
cluded by seconding the resolution, which was
carried.

Mr. HARNEY next proposed two addresses—one to
Ledru boffin and those of his compatriots who have
been fortunate enough to avoid arrest, and another to
the families of those who have been recently con-
victed at Versailles. The former address, a somewhat
lengthy document, according the approbation of the
meeting to those " who on June 13 last nobly
attempted to save the Roman Republic from de-
struction, France from dishonour, and European
freedom from the conspiracy of the enemies of human
progression," was supported by a long and warm
speech from Mr. Harney, who said that the Govern-
ment of France, having violated the Constitution by
sending an expedition to Rome, the majority of the
Assembly, by their refusal to sanction the impeach-
meat of the President and bis Ministers, proposed by
Ledru Rollin, had become participators in the crime,
and were equally traitors to France and the world.
He justified Ledru Rollin from the taunts that had
been cast on him fur remaining in England instead
of standing a trial, by appealing to the results of the
trials of those who were arrested as a specimen of the
justice he might have expected.
Other speeches were delivered by Messri Rudd,
M'Grath, Townsend, &c., and the meeting was wound
up, after an appeal from Mr. Harney to induce those
present .to join the "Fraternal Democrats," by a
series of cheersforKossuth, Mazzini, Ledru Rollin, &c.

BRITISH INsayrunoN.—Yesterday the studies made
from the works of the old masters were exhibited to the
governors of the institution. The pictures, as usual, are
selected from those exhibited in the spring, and the
adoption of Mr. Turner's " Shipwreck" and landscape
as subjects for study is a rare instance of honour to a
living master. Cuyp's Winter scene, Dietrich's Black.;
smith, Greuse'e picture of a Girl, Salvator Rosa's land-
scape, Titian's Holy Family, and Diana bathing, and
Guido's David and Goliah, are the other principal paint-
ings. The students exhibit their ordinary timidity in
shrinking from the highest department of art, Salvator
Rosa's landscape boasting 1.6 copies, and Grouse's Girl
14, while David and Goliah can find but two imitators.
Titian, indeed, has found eight copiers of his 4‘ Diana,"
but then this work is on a small scale. The copies, as
usual, are of every degree of size and every degree of
merit.

COLLECTION or THE Ho? DUTY.—The Lords of
' the Treasury have dscided not to call upon parties for
sureties for the payment of the second moiety of the hop
duty for the year 1848. The following circular has been
issued by the Inland Board of Revenue to their collec-
tors:—" Sir,—l am directed by the Board to acquaint
you for your guidance, that in all cases in which the
first moiety of Om hop duty for 1848 shall have been
paid, bond without surety may be taken for the second
moiety, observing that although the condition of such
bond wiil be for the immediate payment of the same, yet
the Board will grant indulgence, end not enforce such
payrin nt Wore the lath October, 1850, except in the
event of circumstances occurring which may in any case
induce them to apprehend that the debt will be endan-
gered by delay. In all other respects the regulations
already fixed are to be observed. lam to add that the
several supervisors in your collection have been ac-
quainted with this order, and directed to make it known
to their respective districts.—l am, Sir, &e., W. STAN-
TON. P.S.—The requisite bonds will be forwarded to
you in due course, by the storekeeper at thi• office."
TuE WstEcir or THE APOLLO STEAMER.—The
boilers of this steamer, which sunk in Northfleet Hope,
many years since in a collision, have been recovered
within the last few days by the excellent arrangements
and indefatigable exertions of Captain lowlands, the
principal harbour-master of the port of London. It will
be remembered that several accidents have occurred in
raising the ship, and that on one occasion the Water-
witch steamer sank on the wreck of the Apollo in an
unsuccessful attempt. Almost everything, however,
had been recovered except the boilers, which are between
60 and 70 tons weight; but now, with the aid of lumps,
lighters, and gear from her Majesty's dockyard. Sheer-
ness, Captain Rowlands has weighed the boilers, and
has landed them near Grays.
GAME LAWS.—A deputation of the National Anti-
Game-law Association had a lengthened interview yes-
terday morning with George Thompson, Esq., M.P., and
Sir Joshua Vv'elmsley, M.P., regarding the practical
benefits which would result from the withdrawal of all
legislative protection to game. Mr. Thompson, being
fully impressed with the importance of the subject,
agreed that he would, at subsequent meetings on
Financial Reform, impress upon his audiences the social
and economical evils arising from the game laws, and the
urgent necessity that existed for their repeal. Art inter-
view was also had with the Right Hon. Edward Ellice
M.P. for Coventry, who, to a considerable extent, agreed
with the views of the Association as to the social evils
resulting from legislative protection to game.—Scotsman
of Wednesday.
GRAY'S INN, Nov. 21.—William Harrison, Esq.,
and Richard Reader Harris, Esq., were this day called to
the Degree of Barrister-at-Law., by the Honourable
Society of Gray's Inn.

Disease by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—James Jenkins, an
agricultural labourer residing on a farm near Newtown, suf-

chored the same evering off the site of Paku, the
town formerly destroyed by Captain Keppel, in
1843. At day-light on the morning of Saturday the
4th August, the further ascent of the river was
prosecuted and the town of Paku destroyed. The
steam- tender was prevented from reaching this spot
by the immense trees which extended across the
narrow and tortuous stream, in ascending which the
men-of-war boats had to ho carried over or depressed
under the various natural and artificial barriers that
existed every few yards. She then returned to a
village a few hundred yards lower down the stream,
and destroyed it and a large prahu secured on its
banks. Commander Farquhar hearing guns, dis-
patched the Nemesis's cutter with orders to lie by
the steamer during the night. She, however, com-
menced the descent the same evening, steam being
up, and reached the Nemesis at nine on Sunday
morning, with one European killed and two wounded,
bringing intelligence of the death of the two sons of
the Orang Kaye of Lundu, two of the bravest of the
native chiefs, who had been cut to pieces by the
pirates on their first landing in the jungle off the late
piratical settlement of Paku. The boats returned from
Paku on the morning of the 7th, and it was deter-
mined by Sir James Brooke to ascend into the Sarebas
territories by the Rejang. The Nemesis then pro-
ceeded to the mouth of that noble river and wooded,
and was joined by the native boats on the 9th.
On the 11th, sufficient wood having been procured,
we commenced the ascent of this river, and proceeded
upwards until the 14th, when we anchored off the
Kanawit river. On the 16th, the European boats,
small steamer, and native prahus were dispatched to
ascend this river, which occupied two days, and the
whole of the settlements on either side were totally
destroyed. A few prisoners were secured, but the
major part of the inhabitants betook themselves to the
covert of the dense jungle. Amongst the captives
taken up this riven was a child, whose perfectly
white skin and fair hair would induce the belief that
it was of European extraction. This little innocent
will be brought up amongst the small family of
orphans under the charge of the lady of the Rev.
Mr. M'Dougall, the excellent missionary resident at
Sarawak. On the evening of the 18th the Rance
returned to us with several men sick with fever,
and one poor fellow with a barbed spear through
him, which it was found impossible to extract with
safety, and which was therefore filed off level with the
back; very slight hopes are entertained of his re-
covery. The native and European boats, the
former laden with goods recaptured from the Sere-
has Dyaks, rejoined us on the succeeding morning.
At noon we were again under weigh, and at 4 P.M.
anchored abreast of the Poi, the natives of which place
had been aiding and abetting the Sarebas men in their
predatory excursions, but as the chiefs promised to.
refrain from 'connexion with the Sarebas pirates in
future, the town was spared, Sir James-Brooke fining
them and taking one of their principal men as a 1
hostage, and also bringing away some brass guns,.
All having been amicably arranged, on the morning I
of the 22d we started on our return, and were some-
what
alarmed oa arriving off the Kanawit for the I
safety of the steam-tender and gig which had been left
here, but during `.he day we discovered them proceed- !
ing downwards. On arriving at Rejang a supply of
wood was speedily procured, and on the 24th Sir
James Brooke?, who had quitted his native boat and
embarked on board of us, was landed at Sarawak.
Mr. Crookshank, who had joined us up the Rejang
off Kanawit, brought intelligence of an attack of the
Sakarrans on a fishing village at the mouth of the
Moratabas, and of the murder of five of its inhabi-
tants, several others being seriously wounded. He
also communicated the pleasing news that the
Mwander had been seen by him off Tanjong Po, and
all were most anxious to welcome Captain Keppel to
the scene of his former exploits ; but the expectation
of seeing him was soon put an end to by the intelli-
gence that the Meander had sailed for Singapore.
Such are the particulars of this most successful
expedition, in which a steamer, steam-tender, and
seven men-of-war boats, with a European force of less
than 150 men, and the small band of native auxiliaries,
totally destroyed a piratical squadron consisting of
upwards of 100 large prahus, manned by not less
that fifty men each. They fearlessly ascended for
days into a country unknown to them, tracking the
evil-doers to their inland haunts, and destroying their
houses and ill-gotten treasure. Commander Farquhar
and the officers under him proved themselves worthy
representatives of the noble service to which they
belong, by the courage, coolness, and perseverance
with which they followed out their dangerous, severe,
and exhausting labours, and the Nemesis added
another to the daring and successful exploits for
which she has become celebrated in maritime annals.
The rewards which are due to skill and bravery will
no doubt be awarded in ample measure.
The cases of fever on board the Nemesis and Alba-
tross are, we learn, numerous. This, however, was
to be expected, since thirty-two days in open boats,
subjected alternately to heavy rains and a scorching
sun, are more than sufficient to produce disease in
climates more healthy, and more congenial to Eu
ropean constitutions, than that experienced in Bornean
rivers.
