deaveurs made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent en them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to he the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspend with the above. The genes
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the 11-
guarded ; and, for their detectien, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Bone are In appearance at first sight, '• the genuine," but
without came or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of ♦nchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many mere without address. John
Burgess and son, having been many years honoured with inch dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they h.P.
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce; will keep good ii all
climates.

COMPET IT lON'S COMPLAINT.
Oh dear ! oh dear 1 what shall Ido ?
I can't compete with MOSES.
Look at their house! how proud the view
What beauty it discloses I
What crowds of customers go there,
Their favours to renew!
The place is really like a fair :
Oh dear I what shall I do!
•

I wonder not at such support ;
For MOSES and his SON
Make all their clothing as they ought,
And min* are quite outdone.
My articles, compar'd with these,
Are nothing much to view;
And vain my efforts are to please :
Oh dear I what shall I do ?

MOSES and SON are far too strong
For feeble things like me ;
They've been the victors all along,
And so they'll ever be.
In workmanship they stand alone,
And cleth and prices, too ;
Yes, they're a match for me, I own :
Oh dear I what shall I do ?

panies each bottle of Rowland's Macassar Oil, wherein important
hints and advice will be found on the culture of the hair of infancy,
and on its preservation and beauty through the several stages of
human life.

trifle mere profit, Tend the most spurious trash under the title of
"Macassar Oil." It is therefore imperative en purchasers to see that

1157 Often h
BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY FOR EBRITARY.— have
we mourned over the degeneracy of the present raee of pe •
riodicals. Many a time and often have we mentally ex-
claimed, Oh for one hour of the high and palmy days of
Charles Lamb, of Hazlitt, of Coleridge, of poor John Scott,
of the " Opium Eater," of all the better brothers," who,
twenty years ago, illustrated and graced our periodieal life
rature. But these are the times for conversions, and in pe-
rusing Bentley for the present month, we must candidly con-
fess that " a change came o'er the spirit of our dream." The
papers are uniformly excellent. " The Travelled Man," by
Mrs. Gore, is in her own sparkling and racy style. Albert
Smith's sketch of Mr. Tonks, and his great Christmas
Failure," is a favourable spscimen of the powers of the justly
popular writer ; while " Tipperary Hall," by the " Whiskey
Drinker," is net surpassed by the best of the far-famed
Nodes Ambrosiance. We wish that we could command space
for the insertion of acme of the capital verses and songs
abounding in " Tipperary Hall." There is one, " The Vu-
tips of Creation,' of which we will affirm that Canning, in
his days, never did anything better. It is well worthy of
the author of the " Loves of the Triangles;" and we would
strongly recommend our readers to beg, borrow, steal, or
even buy Bentley, for the sake of perusing it.—Cambridge
Independent Press.
THE ROYAL LACK.—This beautiful fabric, manufac-
tured by a Nottingham firm, is most beautifully fine, and the
patterns in the best taste; the whole is the closest counter-
part of the finest Mechlin lace, and may be considered the
greatest triumph ever obtained by British enterprise and
perseverance. The application of the strongest lens shows
no difference between the production of Nottingham and that
of Malines ; this, and the patronage of her Majesty (who was'
the first purchaser) has occasioned it to be called the Royal
Mechlin Lace. It has taken more than four years to con-
struct the machines which produce this most delicate fabric.

BUCKINGHAM AGRICULTURAL
PROTECTION SOCIETY.
SATURDAY EVENlNG.—Pttriltlait to public announcement,
a dinner of the Buckingham Agricultural Protection Society
took place on Saturday, at the Town-hall. Every nook was
filled, and upwards of 500 persona sat down to dinner.
His Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, K.G.,
presided, and was supported on his right and left by the
Earl of Orkney, the Marquis ofChandos, Hon. W. Fitzmau-
rice, M.P., Dr. Marsham, Ike. •
After tke usual toasts of loyalty and courteen
Mr. P. Box proposed, "The Peers and the Members of the
House of Commons who are favourable to protection to native
industry." He (Mr. Box), when be looked around that
room, saw persons who possessed capital and estates to the
amount of two millions, and had Sir R. Peel a right to say
that they should have no voice in the country ?—(Hear and
cheers.) Had he, or any other man, a right to dictate when
they said appeal to the country, and let us judge for our-
selves ?—(Hear, hear.) They considered that they were an
ill-used people,—(Cheers.) The assertion of Sir R. Peel, as
to the probability of famine, was not right. He would allow
that there was an immense decrease in the production of
potatoes, and that the sister island was in a state of consider-
able distress. It was then the duty of the Government to
look to it, and if they had done so, the matter would not
have appeared before the country in the shape in which it
had.(Hear, hear.) With reference to the subject of this
toast, he thought they should have an immense amount of
ability in the House of Peers, for it appeared that, when any
Member of the House of Commons became obnoxious to Sir
R. Peel, he placed him in the Upper House; and to that
House they must now look to prevent everything from being
sacrificed.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Box concluded by proposing
the toast, which was drunk with mush applause.
The Earl of .ORKAIST returned thanks. He could only say
for himself that his political conduct would be in accordance
with their wishes. It was a matter of great gratification to
him that they bad received him, and of his brother's (the
Hon. W. Fitsrnaurice, M.P.), to represent them, and he was
sure that he would be ever ready to advocate their interests,
and the general interests of the country. He begged to as-
sure them that he would, with his utmost ability, support
theiLinterests, and he hoped they would yet prevail.
Mr. E. HOlrriooE, proposed, " The Members:- fir the
County."
Mr. Du PRE, M.P.,'in returning thanks, said be thought
it was of the utmost importance that a mutual understand-
ing should exist between the representative and those who
sent him to Parliament. When he saw the spirit which had
been aroused there, and the different meetings of farmers and
agricultural bodies,' throughout the kingdom; aboie all,
when he recollected that they had to fall back on the House
of Lords, combining, as it did;- all the- talent of the country,
and led by a Richmond, a Buckingham, land a Cleveland—
when he recollected all this, he couldmot, he would not, de-
spair.—(Loud cheers.) He was afraid that, is the House of
Commons, there would be a far greater majority than even
their worst fears would lead them to suppose; but he did
think-there was great reason to hope that the House of Peers
would turn this apparent defeat into a victory.—(Cheers.)
-It was net the first occasion on which he had opposed the
GoVernment, and he could assurelhis. constituents that he
should be found in his place the following Monday, acting in
concert with a trusty and united band, who would be, still
faithful to their colours and'adhere firmly to their prin-
ciples, resolved to throw every obstruction in the way of the
prdposed measure of which the forms of the constitution
would admit.—(Loud cheers.)
Captain W. FITZMAURICR, also acknowledged the
toast. He should use his best exertions to promote their
views in the approaching debate. He believed a measure
had never been proposed which was fraught with so much
danger to every class. It favoured the manufacturer to the
detriment of the agriculturist, and he-should- give it his
most cordial opposition. He sat down amidst loud cheering.
Mr. H. HUMPHREYS next proposed, " Colonel Hall, the
Member for the borough of Buckingham," which was drunk
with the usual honours, and briefly responded to by the Hon.
and Gallant Colonel.
The Rev. W. T. Erxn then gave, " The Marquis of
Chandos, the candidate for the borough of Buckingham."
(Drunk with three times three cheers.)
The Marquis of CNANDos briefly returned thanks.
The Earl cf ORKNEY, in giving the health of the Noble
Chairman (his Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos),
congratulated the agriculturists on having, in the person of
the Duke, a nobleman who would stand by them to the
last. The toast was drunk with nine times nine rounds of
deafening applause. After the tumult had subsided,
The Duke of BUCKUWHAM said—l can safely assure you
that I find the utmost difficulty in returning my heartfelt
and grateful thanks to you for this gratifying mark of your
approval and friendship towards me. We have met, gentle-
men, to record our opinions and feelings on a great measure
recently introduced by the GOvernment, and which has called
forth the opinions and feelings of all classes throughout the
country ; and were I to j udge from the appearance of this great
assembly, I should safely assert that those measures of the
Government find no favour in this part of her Majesty's do-
minions. I, for my awn part, gentlemen, have nothing to
recal.—(Cheers.) In 1841 the Government appealed to this
country to ascertain its sentiments upon the alteration they
proposed in the corn-laws. They proposed in her Ma-
jesty's Speech that an alteration should take place to the
extent. of an Bs. fixed duty, which they recommended as
best for agriculture and the country, at large. Upon the
hustings of this country, where that question was argued, a
Parliament was avowedly returned by the constituencies
throughout the land against that proposal on the part of the
Government, and in favour of protection to agriculture.—
( Hear, hear.) That Government bade adieu to Downing-
street in consequence of an early vote brought forward by
the then Opposition, afterwards her Majesty's Government.
It pains me to have find fault with a Government which came
in on principles diametrically opposed to their present prac-
tice—which flew the colour of protection before every consti-
tuency, and which has forgotten the principles os which
they were formed, and acted and became a free-trade Go-
vernment, pandering to the lowest vices of the lowest order
of the country.—(Cheers.) The country in which we live
has for years maintained its ascendancy amongst every na-
tion of the globe, by its interminable resources and the indo-
mitable spirit of its people, but you will now, by this measure,
attempt to crush those feelings, and lay this noble country—
the pride of every Englishman—prostrate at the feet of fo-
reigners.—(Great applause.) You are to do away with your
native industry, and to do away with your native agriculture,
and you are now, to declare yourselves free to receive from all
parts of the world corn and other produce. By that very act
you will be thowing out of cultivation much of your sail,
and you will then become dependent on those states. I look
at it with the deepest alarm and dismay ; but if we are beaten,
as we may be, still we shall not be conquered.—(Cheers.)
I will not trait myself alone in giving these opinions, and 1
am gratified to be able to fall back on Hansard, which gives
you the ParliaMentary debates; and I will go back to 1839,
and quote one paragraph of a speech which Sir James Gra-
ham uttered in the House of Commons.—[The Noble Duke
then read a paragraph uttered by the prevent Home Secretary
in:corroboration of his remark, as well as from an address de-
livered by Sir R. Peel in March ' 1839.] I refer, said
his Grace, to those speeches in order to show you that up to
that time the very gentlemen who now compose the Admir
nistration were your sincerest friends.—(Hear, hear.) And
what is the cause of the change? It appears that in Novem-
ber—and if it had been very Cold weather one would not
have been surprised at people
. meeting together to keep
themselves warm over a fire Downing-street--(a laugh)
—but in NoVember a quarrel takes place, and Sir R. Peelfinds
himselfin a minority on the subject of the alteration of the
corn-laws. IThe Noble Chairman here recapitulated the
various Ministerial changes which have been repeated latterly,
usquc ad nauseam.] In the event of a war, continued his
Grace, the greatest distress must prevail.—(Hear, hear.) I
hope, however, that we may still alter this measure, or so
cripple or defeat it, that it will not become the law of the
land.—(Cheers.) But I implore the agricultural interest in
every county to see that their Members do their duty and
light the battle of their farmer. I give my opposition to the
measure from no selfish motives, from no feeling of dislike to
one class or the other ; I want to see my country prosper ; I
want to see all classes happy and contented ; but if you de-
stroy the agricultural interest I fear you will bring into the
heart's blood of this country the greatest disease and misery
that ever fell upon a nation.—(Loud cheers.) You may
rely upon it that I shall be at my post with the Duke of
Richmond, who is at the head of the Central Society—
(Cheers)—to' defeat if possible this measure—to do it all the
harm we can ; for if we cannot defeat it we will endeavour
to cripple it, and you shall never have to charge with incon-
sistency the man who now sits down thanking you from the
bottom of his heart. (The Noble Duke resumed his seat
amidst loud and long-continued applause.)
The Rev. F. Larcamaen, in proposing the next toast—
" His Grace the Duke of Richmond, President of the Central
Society "—said he looked upon Sir Robert's Peel measure
as a gigantic scheme of plunder, intended to transfer
man's property to another in the most reckless and wickedon
manner. He would tell Sir Robert Peel that there were
three characters in ancient history which he might study,
with profit to himself, and, perhaps, advantage to his
country—namely, Catiline, Cicero, and Brutus. He might
learn that if Catiline, when he was prepared to betray his
country, had kept his own secret, he might have succeeded
in his wicked object, but he would have been handed down
to posterity as a successful knave.—(Cheers.) From Cicero
he might learn that he was honoured for his eloquence, but
died despised as a coward—(Renewed cheers)—and from
Brutus he might be taught that if Caesar was the monopolizer
of the Crown, his sworn friend was not the man who should
have slain him.—(Great applause.) The toast was thea
drunk with the accustomed honours.
The Marquis of CRANDOS next proposed._" Prosperity to
the Central Society and other local societies for the protection
of agriculture and native industry."
Other toasts followed, and the conviviality of the evening
was prolonged to a late hour.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Through an allusion of the Mites newspaper to the
failure of a Jewish firm, some persons .have reported it to be
that of Moses and Son, of the, Minories, and which is calcu-
lated to do them some considerable injury. Being connected
with them, I can confidently assert ito such, thing has or is
likely to take place, and should feel obliged by your insert-
ing some remark to that effect in your paper.—l am Sir,
your obedient servant, CHARLES DYTE.

THIS HISTORY OF MARGARET CATCHPOLE, A SUFFOLK
GIRL —I third and cheaper edition of this remarkable work,
by the Rev. R. Cobbold, of Worthen], Suffolk, has just been
published by Mr. Ciolburn, complete in a single volume, with
all the illustrations, price 10s. 6d. bound. The great success
which this work has met with must be attributed, we con-
ceive, as much to the sound and impressive moral which it
conveys, as to the great interest of the narrative. In the
present cheap and elegant edition it will doubtless meet with
a greatly extended sale. Compressed into one volume (as
the Britannia observes) this biography will probably become
a standard work, for altogether Margaret Catchpole was
sufficiently remarkable in character and fortune to take her
place among the celebrated personages of times past.
THREE MEN DROWNED.—On Sunday last, about two
o'clock, as the crew of one of our small beach boats was pre-

ward unfortunately upset the boat, and all the men (four in
number) were thrown into the water. Their names wera
