ADULTERATED SUGAR,.-Mr. CLARICE of Apo-
thecaries hall, in the course of some couversa.
which he had yesterday with- the Loan MAYOR
upon the subject of the adulteration of teas,
stated what,-he said, he thought it important the
publiC should be acquainted with.. A lady, who'
resided, he believed, in Berwick-street, Soho,
applied to Dr. Brookes to analyze some sugar,.
which she had purchased in the neighbourhood,
and the doctor referred her to him. She stated that
shewas in the habit of sweetening piesand puddings
with the sugar tif which she produced a sample, and
that the children always fell sick immediately-
after their meals. She had remarked, that it was.
necessary to use a great quantity of this sugar
before it had any effect upon that with which it
was mixed, and that when the pies or puddings
tasted sweet, they also tasted salt or brackish
The twang which this commodity gave to tea was
also very extraordinary, and she felt a sickness in
her stomach after taking 'it. The sugar, never..
theless.was.extrennely bright. Upon :uitizing it,
he found that it contained about one-half of com-
mon salt, which was about a halfpenny a pound.
This.ingredient when applied in greater quantities
must excite excessive thirst and fever in children,
and cotild not be very serviceable to grown
people, putting out of the question the immense
,per tentage gained upon the adulteration. The,
Lord Mayor said; the Public were certainly in-
debted to Mr. Clarke for his intelligence, and
would doubt consider the obligation increased
by the information as to the means of discovering
the adulteration. Mr. Clarke said, a person had
to do no more, to detect the adulteration, than to
put a little of the suspected article into a cup,
and pour a little spirits,.of wine upon it, When the
sugar would immediately melt,and the salt would
remain at the bottom.

Richard Baker, of this town (Plymouth),
capitally convicted at our late assizes of an assault upon a child,
and whose execution was appointed 'to haVe taken place on
Friday last, has been respited until his Majesty's further plea-
sure shall be known. On Thursday evening, a messenger,
sent off express in a chaise and four from Bridgewater, by Mr.
Justice °MELEE, arrived at the gaol in four hours with the
respite; and a communication was also. sent by his--Lofdshin„
through the medium of the post-office. lest tiny accident shotild
detain the messenger. When the intelligence was made known
to the wretched prisoner,: he became so greatly agitated* that he
fainted, and it was several hour's before his recollection returned ;
he then observed, that the shock to his feelings by the unex-
pected lenity was far greater than what be experienced when he
was informed that the day of hi 4 execution was fixed, and no
mercy would be shown him..—(Plymouth Journal.)
