selves under the charge of chemists, or, worse still, have re-

EVEN LNG EDITION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

saw a paragraph in your paper of yesterday
beaded " Getting Drunk, but not at the expense of the
Parish," wherein it is stated that the worthy Guardians
having occasion to lay in a stock of wine for the sick and
infirm poor. bad twenty-five bottles sent them
as samples, which were so excellent that
they, the worthy Guardians, drank the whole of it
down to the very lees. After all, it is not stated if
they purchased any for the sick and infirm poor. If
that paragraph is intended as a broadside against the
respectable parish in which I reside, I beg to say that
the statement is incorrect, inasmuch as the samples
were not sent to the Guardians, but the Guardians
went to the samples. As to their getting drunk, it is
best known to themselves. However, as soon as it was
convessient, they did report they had purchased half-a-pipe
of the first quality, and a few days ago twenty
eight dozen of bottles, said to contain vs ine, arrived at the
Workhouse (and an empty cask—no deception), which
arc carefully laid up (sacred) for six months, that the
wine may improve by age for the use of the sick awl
infirm poor. God grant they may get it, and not the
rats, by which the house is infested.

EVEN ING EDI is

prompts not many purchases were made in Tea, in fact the
merchants generally are not disposed to sell on these term?.
Company's Congou in the middle of lasti week attracted
little attent;( n, and prices fell to 2s 34d for cash ; during the
last two days, &however, a batter demand has existed, and
prices have advanced to 2s IA to 2s 5d for cash, and
2s 63 to 2s 6id with long and short prompts, which in
rather higher than last Tuesday. The business doing in
the market is chiefly far home consumption : the system
which is now pursued of selling principally for cash, tends
to check speculation, and prevent needy parties from cam•
ing into the market. The over-land Mail is daily ex-
pected, and is looked for with much anxiety by holders
of Tea. At public sale 500 chests imported from New
York, and for exportation only, were partly disposed of at
fair market rates. Hyson fetched 2s Sid to 234 d ; Poe'
chong was taken in at 2s 93, and Hyson at the same
figure. The deliveries of Tea during the past week have
amounted to 375,000 lbs; no arrival since we last wrote.
To-day there was not much business doing in Free
Trade for prompts, but for cash Parcels time was a gond
demand, and prices have an upward tendency;
common
Congou is selling at 2s 44d to 2s 51, and Twankay
2s sid per lb, and at these rates there are many sellers.
In Company's Congou several purchases were made,
chiefly for money, parcels at 2s oid per lb. For auction
on the Ist June, 7726 chests are declared, 6030 of which
consists of Congou.
This afternoon a good demand prevailed for Free Trade
Tea, and prices closed firmly at 2s 514 for common Con-
gou for cash, and Twankay 2s 61 to 2s 6id. Company's
Congest is held firmly at 2s 6d, with a good many buyers :
the stock in London on the Ist instant was 35,472,612
lbs, in 1839 at the same time it was 40,380,000 lbs. The
deliveries for home use for the United Kingdom, up to the
sth of April, were 7,444,686 lbs, against 8, 904 315 lbs in
1839.

Facer.—This afternoon 1,084 boxes, 188 half boxelll
Valencia Raisins, and 37 butts, 37 carotcels damaged
Patras Currants were offered at auction, the former were
all withdrawn, the latter sold at 76s to 79s per cwt.

Mr. Porter has left Paris for London. Dr.
Bo w ring also started in the course of the same day.— Galignani.
An interesting circumstance occurred on beard
the Royal Adelaide steam-ship, on her passage from Leith to
London, last week. A poor woman, named Fraser, a steerage
passenger, was seized with the pangs of premature tabour, and
shortly afterwards gave birth to a remarkably fine female child.
There were a great number of passengers on board the Royal
Adelaide, amongst whom were the Earl of Wemyss and his
daughter. The latter. in conjunction with several other ladies
on board, paid every attention to Mrs. Fraser and the little
stranger she had introduced into the world, and liberally sup-
: plied her with the proper nourishment. The ch;ld was very
appropriately named Adelaide, after the name of the steamer.
When the vessel arrived at her moorings, off St. Katharine's
Wharf, a medical gentleman was sent for to attend the poor
woman, and he pronounced her to be in a very favourable state.
A collection was made on board in her behalf. She was about
to embark in a Sydney ship for South Australia, to which colony
her husband emigrated a few months ago.
NOTES OF A BRIEFLESS BARRISTER.—At
the sessions in Durham a clock was produced in evidence.
"Pray," said` Mr. Counsellor Johnson, in cross-examining the
prosecutor. Pray,
Sir, how do you identify the clock as
your property?" " I know it," he replied, "because on the
face of it there's a picture of my wife's father on horseback."
" Oh !" said Mr. Johnson, " is it considered a good likeness ?"
Of course," said the prosecutor's counsel, Mr. Granger,
"a striking likeness." In another case, a prisoner, who had
long borne a good character, was charged with having sacrificed
his good reputation to a love of bacon. The prosecutor did
not satisfactorily identify as his property the bacon found in the
prisoner's house; and Mr. Recorder Wilkinson, who defended
the man, appealed to the Jury somewhat as follows :—" It is
not credible, Gentleman, that my respectable client would peril
his good name by this paltry theft. /tusk, indeed, would it
have been in him to adopt such a suicidal course, and for you to
take this bacon as the prosecutor property would be to adopt a
raslurr."
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—A frightful accident
occurred at Devonport on Friday. As the Thunderer man-of-
war, 84 guns, was going out of harbour saluting the admiral,
the quarter-master was in the foremost part of the vessel, iii
the chains, throwing the lead. and when the first gun was tired
he moved towards the quarter-deck, and as he was going by the
fourth gun, the man whose duty it is to let off the gun put the
match to the powder, and blew the poor quarter-master into a
thousand pieces. There was a boat immediately lowered from
the vessel into the water, but they could find nothing but
part of his skull, which was taken on shore, about half a mile
from the vessel. Ile has left a wife and seven children to de-
plore his loss. His wife and family were on board at the time
the catastrophe happened.

LONDON:
THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1840.

Thy© House of Lords did not meet yesterday.
The House of Commons met, but it was only
to postpone all business. Some petitions were in-
deed presented, but the absence of Lord JOHN
RUSSELL, caused by the melancholy death of Lord
WILLIANI RUSSELL, induced Lord STANLEY,
without hesitation, at the request of Lord MoR-
PETH, to put off the Irish Registration Bill till
Monday week.

Sir It. INGLIS, without a personal appeal to
him, put off his motion concerning Church Exten-
sion, which stands for this day, without naming
any day to bring it on.

j The House immediately adjourned. The sus-
pension of all important business in the House of
Commons till Lord Jolts RUSSELL can re-as-
sume leis place, which will probably not be for a
week or ten day 3, adds much to the interest and
importance of the occurrence that keeps him away.

In another part of The Sun appears the very
elaborate judgment given by Lord DENMAN, on
Friday, on the Braintree Church-rate question, and
which circumstances, including a pressure of other,
more temporary though less important, matter,
have hitherto prevented from appearing in our
Paper. It is with great satisfaction that we record
the assertion of Lord DENMAN, that the Court
" had MOSE carclullg looked into and considered all
the numerous cases which had been cited in the
course of the argument," which will ensure respect
for the judgment. On the same account we re-
member with satisfaction the great praise which
the Tory Journals, lately fighting on the side of law
against privilege, gave Lord D ENMAN for his conduct
on that occasion. Though the advocates of Church-
rates, they will respect the law, as declared by Lord
DENMAN, which places it wholly in the option of
the Vestry to levy Church-rates or not. One of the
concludinr,
paragraphs of the judgment is very
strong and very decisive.
" In whatever stage of the proceedings," said the
j
Noble;Lord, "that want of urih o n was made apparent,
either by the Crown or hyiw
:josu J, the Courts of Law
were bound to interfere. the erroneous construc-
tion of an Act of Parliament was one those cases, the
imposition of a tax without lawful of
authority was another ;
regarded and con-
and such a tax must a Church-rate be r
sidered when made by parish officers, not r
only without
opposition to,
the concurrence of the parishioners, but
in
and defiance of their decided refusal to make
rate."
The whole gist of the judgment
is, that the
Churchwardens cannot make a Church-rate with
out the consent of the inhabitants regularly
convened in Vestry ; and that the Ecclesiastical
Courts have no authority to mulct the Church-
wardens or punish them for not repairing the
church ; or, if the Ecclesiastical Courts act on the
supposition that they have such an authority,
except by Ecclesiastical censure, the Court
of Queen's Bench will interfere and pro-
tect the Churchwardens against any injurious
consequences for not levying an unlawful tax,

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:

MESSRS. SLOAN and CO., Members of
the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE,
REGENT-STREET, and 2d, IIIONAIONGER-LANE,
CIIEAPSIDE, ntay be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the
Morning until Ten at Night, on every variety and stage of
Syphilis, with that delicacy and secresy they have hitherto ob-
served. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient
to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-
treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if *light or
recent in two or three, without the indiscrinainato use of mer-
cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva-
lent, are reated upon those unerring principles which have in-
sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. sol, rge a share of public pa-
tronage for nearly thirty years in London, and which it will be
their future exertion to maintain. _

Letters, containing an enclosure, will be answered by return
and patients, however distant, will be corresponded with wit'
recovered

This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wea.thy, viz. :-
Ist. Insurit,g their lives in sums from 5/. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age ; Weekly
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 10/. to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 20/. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.
The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,
Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.

THEATRES.

HER MAJESTY'S 7HEATI?E.
Taglioliil6 benefit took place last night, and, as ,ust3o,
attracted ore of the most crowded houses of the.sea4
In srldition to the Giurarnento, we had the second
Elisir d'Amore. Between the two operas a .seleetiOn
fr,,m the ballet of La Gitana was introduced, and Taglioni
advanced amidst thunders of applause. Throughout her
" Nl,,zurka," and her incomparable " Cachueha," both
of which were encored, she was accompanied by the con-
tinued plaudits of the whole 'louse. A pas de trots between
Pi..rson, and Keppler, composed by the first-named
most promising danseuse. was not less successful. •When
the curtain dropped there was a call for Taglioni, who
came forward amidst renewed acclamations. Cerito was
also summoned 'oefoze the audience, but having exchanged
the rich dress she had just worn for her bourgeois costume.
she ventured but a few stuns from the side scenery and
forthwith vanished. L' aubre concluded the evening's en-
tertainments. The house waa crowded in all parts, the
pit being at one time thronged to suffocation.

THE PRINCE S THEATRE. •
JessonJa was again pla)e'd last Light by the German
coopany, with the advanta!:e of the new singer, Herr
Staudigl, in the character of Tristram, formerly sustained
by Poeck. The manifold beauties of this delicious
opera arc now beginning to be fully understood. His
voice is a bass of a fine quality, rich, round, and so-
norous, with a natural compass, requiring no straining.to
enable him to execute without effort all the music appor-
tioned to the character. His style, too, is chaste, and his
acting at once impaszioncd and vtithoot vulgarity. His
success was unequivocal. The dresses in this opera
ought not to pass unnoticed ; they are splendid, and in
strict keeping with the costume of the period. To-morrow
A Night in Grenada will be played for the last time.
and on Wednesday Gluck's grand opera, Iphige*.
which has been come time in rehearsal. in which Marlame
Heinefetter and Herr Wild will support the principal as-
racters.
