BRIGHTON, JUNE s.—The 10th Regiment of
Light Dragoons marched through this town to-
day on their way to Ireland ; they marched as
far as Maidenhead, where they were to remain
:during the night.
Till: TEA T Ft.% DE.—For the two first days after
the arrival of the late unpleasant news from China, no effect was
produced on the tea market. .it is well known that the Com-
pany have on hand black teas sufficient for six sales (eighteen
months), and a considerable, though less, supply of green;
and as the demand has .been so slack, that the purchases of
the March sale were at a discount of 93d. per pound for black
teas, and green teas were worth but from Id. to 2d. advance,
the regular dealers were little inclined to speculate upon the
probability of the Chinese refusing, for any very long time,
to deal with their best customer; but money being plenti-
ful, some persons have ventured upon the hazardous ex-
periment of buying up the tea that was upon the market,
and establishing, by small purchases and sales, very high
nominal prices, in the hope that the general buyers will
be indiscreet cnough to sanction the advance at the sale
which has just commenced at the East India House. It
is very probable that great &farts will be made to keep up
prices during the early part of the sale, but it is generally thought
that the speculation cannot be carried. through. The principal
houses in the trade, as we have reason to know, have good stocks,
and it would require nearly two millions sterling, the whole of
which must be paid on or before the Ist of Sept., to purchase
the quantity now in course of sale. It is not, therefore, pro-
bable that any set of speculators, however powerful, can mate-
rially affect the prices • for the great body of buyers will not
fail to perceive, that whenever news of the adjustment of the
differences may arrive, all cause or pretence for the advance will
have ceased ; and if such favourable intelligence should be re-
ceived during the ensuing quarter, those who have given an
advance will-sastain a heavy loss upon their stocks. Black
Teas had been raised from 2jd. discount to Id. profit, and
Greens nominally to 7s. 4d. upward, hut there were no buyers.

Ou Tuesday night a gentleman went into the
Italian Opera-house, and entered into a conversation with the
veteran Police-officer, Townshend, who observing his gold
chain and bunch of gold seals, advised the gentleman to take
care of his watch (a gold chronometer, value 35 guineas),which
the gentleman drew out, and said to
."11r. Townshend, " Oh, I
will take care of it," and then returned the watch, as he be-
lieved, to his fob pocket. In about ten minutes aftewards, the
gentleman discovered that his watch and its appendages were
gone; but whether it was stolen, or had slipped down his
trowsers, he was not certain. On Townshend being informed
of the loss, he said to the gentleman, " I had my suspicion,
from your flashing your watch so much, that it would go; let
the next be a stop watch.".
There were no bidders for the Turnpikes on
the Hickstead road, which were put up at the Old Ship on Tues-
day, and knocked down to the trust.—( Brighton Gazette.)
