There are public sales of Tea again te-day, but
no feature seems to !lave characterized , their
progress, which is slow, and at the previous quotations.
One circumstance, however; deserves particular com-
ment, and that is the attempt to push upon the public
a quantity of spurious leaf, miscalled Pouchong.
This is not the first time, but according to the statement
of Mr. Bland there is now a much larger quantity of it
offered than ever before; The tea is stated to be worthless,
if not injuriouseand•itt is High time so important an evil
should be remedied, .for the sake of the public. It i,
really a pity the Excise:cannot, or will not, interfere in
the matter.

The Morning Post of Friday, gave, in a second
edition, a letter from its ilavre correspondent, who
bringing New York papers of the 28th ult. three days
later than those received by the Great Western. It was
rather unfortunate for the value of this communication;
that it did not contain any part of the important intelli-
gence brought by the'Sheridan, which sailed on the 27thult. only. The fact is, that the Louis Philippe sailed
on the 26th, in company with the Akbar, which arrived
at this port on Tuesday- ; but the French correspondent

Mr. MELv-iN stated that if trade continued in the pre-
sent depressed condition, it was calculated that, by the
end of next week, 300 weavers, who had work at present,
would be thrown out of- employment.
Mr. STIRRAT stated that the applications for relieflast
week had increased at the rate of 60 a-day.
Dr. BURNS entered into a statement to show the gra-
dual breaking down,of the people from the want of em-
ployment. First; the careless and indilferent applied for
relief, followed by a better class. There was a third
class, who had not yet applied, having probable
j some-
thing to fall back upon, and there was a large body of
respectable and industrious females out of employment
that would never think of coming here to ask supply.
lie thought .there could not be less than four or five
thousand people, including children, that were really in
need of supply. •
A report was road from Johnstone, which stated that
there were 120 families, comprising 360 individuals, re-
ceiving relief: The averaga income of each family was
Is. 60. per week. The above destitution arises princi-
pally from the stoppage of cotton manufactories. A num-
ber-of judicious measures were adopted to collect funds
fur the relief of the distressed, and a deputation was
immediately dispatched to London, to solicit the heads
of her Majesty's Government for their aid and patron-
age to a subscription ; and also to apply to the London
Relief Committee, - and generally to procure contribu-
tions in the metropolis, and elsewhere. in England, for
relief of the distressed operatives of this town and county.

LAW AND POLICE.

At the Southampton Sessions, on Friday, five men
were tried before the Recorder for " thimble-rigging,"
and Ivere ail found guilty. Three of them were sen-
tenced to be imprisoned for two years and pay a fine of
50/. each, and the other two to be imprisoned for ono
year and pay a fine of 251. each. We believo this is
the first conviction for this hitherto half-legalised sys-
tem of robbery.

The innumerable quails which are at this season
passing over the Black Sea and its shores, to seek the
warmth of a more southern latitude, afford excellent
occupation to the sportsmen of those parts. A good
shot thinks nothing of bagging in a day 50 brace of
these delicate birds, whilst the fowler, spreading his nets
near the shore of the sea, takes them alive by hundreds.
Myriads of them arrive at break of day, and may be
taken by the hand.

, - -
LIVERPOOL CorroN MARKET, OCT. 18.—The Market
to-day has been very animated, upwards of 5,000 bales
having been sold of all kinds. In consequence of the
non-arrival of the Caledonia speculators are very active,_
and purchases to the extent of I,ooo' bales have been
made. Prices are firm at Friday's quotations.
LIVERPOOL Snaam MARKET, OCT. 18.—The follow-
ing are the transactions :--Eastern Counties Debentures,
; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 39i; London and Bir-
mingham, New, 23 ; Lcindon and South Western, 26k.
No intelligence of the Caledonia steamer.
MANCBESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, OCT. 18.— Our
market still continueslangnid, with little business doing.
Great anxiety prevails pending the non-arrival of the
Caledonia. Our sales have been confined to London and
Birmingham, Quarter. Shares, 211 ; Manchester and
Leeds, Quarter Shares, 21. 14s. to 21. 14s. 6d.; and Man-
chester Assurance, 91..
The Liverpool packet-ship South American, and the
London packet-ship Mediator, both of whom were ap-
pointed to leave New York on the Ist instant, are now
considered to be fully due ; and, compared with the pas-
sage made by the Sheridan to Liverpool, and the Gla-
diator to London, and the. wind having blown strongly
in their favour fur the last few days, it is thought that
they would have reached port before this, had they not
been detained beyond their usual day of sailing.

BOROUGH OF REIGATE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sta—As an elector of the borough of Reigate, I
feel exceedingly anxious that you should assist us, by
your powerful influence, in the cause now pending
against the overseer of this parish.
I deeply deplore the want of your assistance during
the late election, feeling persuaded that so valuable an
auxiliary as the press would have considerably improved
our position on that, occasion.
I fully rely that the legal proceedings which have
commenced ,will be decided in our favour, and thus
effect • our political redemption from that vassalage
which has hitherto bound us. And here I would ob-
serve, that much gratitude, on the part of the Liberal
electors of the borough, as well as of all lovers of civil
and religious liberty, is due to Dr. Bedford, for the
zeal and perseverance he manifested in attempting to
destroy the great influence of the Somers family, and
of elevating our borough to the proud position of a free
and independent constituency.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

(From Th- .3#n of I.ast Night.)
-Sir Robert-Peel i 3. still busily occupied in the agree-
able task of foaming and completing his Cabinet, as fi
well as of tilling up the different offices of the House-
hold, and the minor appointments incidental to the
coming into office of the Tory party. Those who
have already received their appointments continue
to move round the great centre of their system,
Sir Robert Peel ; and those who have not yet
been selected are in constant attendance upon the
Premier-elect, whose Ministerial levees daily increase in
the number of their attendants. Among those who have
to-day had interviews with the Right Hon. Baronet are
the Right Hon. Henry Goulburn, Mr. Herries, Sir
.James Graham, Sir Henry Hardinge, Lord Hill, Lord
Jersey, Lord Ashley, and Lord Lowther.
A Treasnry messenger was this morning sent off
to Claremont with despatches for her Majesty ;
and it was expected, from the early hoar of his depar-
ture, that a Privy Council would in all probability be
held by the Queen this day, for the purpose of receiving
from Lord Melbourne and his colleagues the seals of
office, and transmitting them to their successors. No
orders were, however, given for summoning a Council up
to one o'clock this afternoon, consequently there
could hail been no intention on the part of her Ma-
jesty to hold the Council to-day. But as it appears
likely that all the appointments will have been filled u
in the course of this day, it is probable that the " seals'
will pass from their present into Tcry hands to-morrow.

THE ASIATIC JOURNAL. No. CXL.

The bulk of this month's journal is almost en-
tirely made up of an elaborate, and, doubtless,
careful report of the recent proceedings at the
East India House, in the case of the Rajah of
Sattara, a few editorial strictures upon which ap-
pear in another page. 01 the trifling papers
which remain, the " Diary of an Assistant-
Surgeon" is written in a sunny humour, and hits
off, in pleasant style, small accounts of Madras
races and banquet-balls, with the paradisaical
state of sitting in full summer costume amid the
atmosphere and climate of India. The review of
Gleig's " Memoirs of Warren Hastings" is here
concluded.. Lines on " Happiness" are indited
chastely and well. The " Memoirs of a Griffin"
pleasantly pursue their way to a twelfth chap-
ter, and the paintings of eyery-day life in India
appear to be happily coloured. The. peculiar
tribes of the Eusofzyes of, Afghanistan, which
were first introduced to European notice in Mr.
Elphinstone's account of Cabool, are, neverthe-
less, so little known, that the loose notes found
among Dr. Lord's and Capt. Conolly's papers
will be read with interest.

LITERATURE.
CAPTAIN MACHEATH. Part I.

This is the first number of a work intended, as
we gather from the Prospectus; to illustrate the
character and social pecubarities of the highway-
man a century since. It ►s interspersed with
numerous sketches of celebrated male and female
characters, and is written in a very dashing, off-
hand style. The 'author Is Pierce Egan, whose
" Tom and Jerry" and " Boxiana " attained
great notoriety in their day.

Two statues of the Virgin Mary, of the 13th
century, have been recently discovered at St. Germer,
near Beauvais. They are painted and gilt, and are fine
sl e:timens of the art of that period.

LAW AS TO ENLISTMENT.—A young man
here, having enlisted in the 26th Foot. on Sabbath, the
15th instant, and having, on the following day, repented
of his engagement, he applied to Mr. Miller, J. I'., to
cancel the enlistment, on the ground that it was made
on a Sunday. The Magistrate, being at a loss how to
act, addressed the Secretary of War for advice, and the
following is a copy of the answer which he received :
—" War-Office, Aug. 20, 1840. Sir—l am directed to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 16th inst.,
and to acquaint you that the Secretary of War has no
desire to encourage the enlistment of troops on a Sun-
day, but that such enlistment has been declared to be
perfectly valid by the highest legal authorities. I have
the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant

PALACE COLIKT—(THIS DAY).
Woan v. GAMBIER.—This was an action to recover a
sum of 431. odd, due by the defendant, a barrister, to the
plaintiff, who was formerly proprietor of an house in
Portugal street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. It appeared that
the defendant had offices in Crown-office-row, and living
en garcon, was in the habit of sending to the plaintiff's
house for several years for his dinners, and occasionally
a bottle of wine.
Several witnesses were examined, who proved the de-
livery of the " eatables and drinkables," and payments
at various times were admitted, which brought the ba-
lance due to the sum claimed by the plaintiff.
The Jury returned a verdict for the pfaintiff for the
sum claimed.

BOW-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
John Hood was charged, before Mr. Jardine, with
stealing a copper scale, the property of Mr. James
Evans, of Hungerford Market.

in question, with which he was about to make off, but
being observed by a policeman he was taken into custody.
The prisoner said in his defence that he was in a very
destitute condition, and that was the reason he had com-
mitted the offence.
He Was committed for trial.

BOW-STREET.

On Tuesday a person, whose name was said to be
William John Bankes, was brought up by constable
Bennet, 88 'A division, and placed at the bar before.
Mr. Jardine, charged with indecently exposing himself
with a soldier of. the Foot Guards in the Green Park.
The prisoner, on being brought to the station-house,
gave the name of John Harris, and described himself as
a servant out of place, as appeared by the police sheet.
The constable stated that about half past twelve
o'clock on the morning of yesterday he saw the prisoner
and a soldier on Constitution-hill, near the Green-park,
and they both went over the palings into the Green
Park, while witness was proceeding down the walk.
They then crossed the centre of the park, and stopped
at the further side, near a clump of trees. The re-
mainder of the evidence is unfit for publication.

Sergeant Tierney, 8 A division, 1-vho took the charge,
stated that the prisoner gave the name of John Harris,
a servant out of place, or upper servant, which witness
had reason to believe was not correct, as he had, since
he was apprehended, admitted that he was a gentleman of
fortune. The prisoner also told witness, before he was
placed at the bar, that if his name was suppressed, he
would retire to one of his country seats, and he could be
bailed by the name of Harris.
Mr. JARDINE said he had no observations to make
about the charge, or the evidence in support of it, but to
require bail, which would be in proportion to the prison-
er's station in life, and that was himself in 2001., and his
sureties 1001. each, to answer the charge at the next ses-
sions of the Central Criminal Court.
wax -ch and-
In the course of the day William Dorset,
ler, 52, King-street, Whitehall, and Thomas Sncesum, a
builder, 13, Great Smith-street, Westminster, were ac-
cepted as sureties ; and the prisoner was set at liberty.

ago, and he then told her that he held the Eituatioa of

ELECTIONEERING.

A Glasgow paper states that on account of some of
the trifling formalities which clog the working of the
Reform Act, the whole of the Liberal electors, to the
number of seventeen, claiming to be registered for Port
Glasgow, have had their claims thrown out by the
Sheriff.
At the Manor Court of Armagh a case was tried, in
which the plaintiff, one of the agents of Mr. Fox, the
Tory, had, prior to the Armagh election, purchased a pig
of the defendant, a voter, for 30L, giving 21. as earnest,
and the remaining 281. to be paid after the election. This
having terminated without polling, the plaintiff claimed
the errnest, and brought his action for its recovery.
Amid roars of laughter the Court dismissed the plain- •
tiff's case, with costs.
A meeting of the Westminster Reform Association
was yesterday evening held at Stannard's Hotel, Covent
Garden. According to the Report it appeared that owing
to the exertions used there were above 2,000 new claims
for Reformers this year.
A meeting of influential Reformers took place in Par-
liament-street a few days since, to draw up rules and re-
er 'ulations for the government of a Central Society. A
deputation was ordered to wait upon General Johnson,
Mr. S. Crawford, Mr. T. S. Duneombe, Dr. Bovvring,
and Mr. Wallace, to request them to become Vice-Pre-
sidents of the Society.
