adulteration of coffee, from the planters of Ceylon.
The Right Hon. Gentleman in receiving the memo-
rial, promised to give it his consideration. The fol-
lowing is the memorial:—
"TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORDS COINIMIS-
SI3NERS OF HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY, THE HUMBLE
MEMORIAL OF THE UNDERSIGNED PLANTERS, MER-
CHANTS, AND OTHER RESIDENTS AT CEYLON
" Respectfully showeth—That a system of fraudu-
lent adulteration of coffee and chicory has been prac-
tised of late years by the retail dealers of Great
Britain, and by the manufacturers who supply them
with the spurious compounds ; and has increased to
so great an extent, that a grievous injury is 'done to
the colonial coffee grower, to the revenue, and to the
health and morals of the public.
" That a law exists, namely 3 Geo. IV., cap. 53,
by which the adulteration of coffee is prohibited ; but
twheitchoclohniciaolryco.
this Act is suspended by a general order of the Com-
missioners of Excise, dated 31st August, 1840, issued
upon a Treasury minute dated 4th August, 1840,
wherein your Lordships ' consider the law altered,'
with the view of admitting the admixture of coffee

all the samples of coffee now offelsr for sale, and is
shamefully avowed by the retail e
bdealers.. "That the only parties who gain y this system are
the adulterers who vend their
spurious compounds at
the value of the real article.
" That the revenue sutlers in proportion,
as the un-
taxed substitutes take the 1 p ace of the real duty pay-
ing article.
" That home-grown chicory pays no duty,
and has,
therefore, in effect a protection of 2d. per pound, or
equal to 50 per cent. on the bonded
price of plan -
tation coffee, and to the entire value of
genuine chi-
cory itself.
" That the best authorities agree in estimating the
untaxed substituted ingredients now consumed in the
United Kingdom as coffee to be equal in quantity to
the duty-paying genuine coffee consumed ; therefore
an annual revenue equal to the Customs on 13,941
tons of coffee, yielding 556,9051. per annum, is lost to
the nation by this legalised fraud.
" Your memorialists would respectfully submit to
your Lordships that though the use of expedfinta
formerly employed for detecting the adulteration of
coffee might have been found to be ' vexatious, ex-
pensive, and inconclusive,' one is now discovered,
which by means of the widely-marked structural dif-
ferences in vegetable tissues discoverable by the
microscope, is at once unerring, easy, and inexpen-
sive ; and they trust that your Lordships, thus pro-
vided with the means of detecting the fraud, will
grant their earnest prayer and rescind the Treasury
minute dated 4th August, 1840, by which the law,
as provided in 3 Geo. IV., chap. 53, has been sus-
pended.

[PRICE SD.

" Your memorialists would further represent that
your Lordships would find a precedent for granting
their prayer in the course pursued by her Majesty's
Lords of the Treasury, in 1833, when a Treasury
order, suspending the Act 17 Geo. 111., chap. 29,
sec. 1, was rescinded, and the adulteration of tea
thereby prohibited, and all honest classes of her
Majesty's subjects, but especially the poor, would be
much benefited by this measure on the part of your
Lordships.
" And your Lordships' memorialists will ever
pray."

ST. MARI-LE-STRAND.
Yesterday evening a vestry meeting was held at
the vestry-room of this parish, for the purpose of
making a poor-rate for the ensuing quarter. Mr. J.
G. Hughes, senior churchwarden, in the chair. It
appearing on inquiry that a sum of 6d. in the pound
would be sufficient to meet the anticipated expendi-
ture, a rate to that amount was agreed to accordingly ;
and the accounts of the several officers were examined
and passed. The vestry-clerk reported, in compliance
with a resolution passed at the last meeting, that the

and churchwardens, in trust to pay the dividends to
two decayed housekeepers in the parish, now standing
in the names of the Rev. J. F. Denham, the rector,
and Messrs. Adam and Greeneill, churchwardens in
1839 ; second, Mr. J.Wingrave's bequest of 1001. Con-
sols, the dividends of which were inter alia to be paid
to 20 deserving poor persons in the palish, 14 at least
of them to be women, now standing in the names of
Messrs. Aclam and Grc'eusill, and Messrs. Short and
Smith, respectively churchwardens and overseers in
1839; third, Mrs. Mary Lyne's bequest in 1835 of
2001. Consols, subject to the keeping in repair the

E. Gambier, rector, and the then churchwardens, and
transferred in January, 1846, to the Rev. J. F. Den-
ham, rector, and Messrs. Low, Glenny, and Yonge ;
and fourth, the freehold estate in the Deptford-road,
conveyed in 1848 to seven trustees, three of whom are
since dead. With respect to Mr. Wingrave's bequest
of 1,0001. Consols, the vestry-clerk stated that years
ago an order of vestry was made to the effect that it
was to be transferred annually to the officers for the
time being, shortly after each visitation, but that it
had never been so transferred since 1839 ; and as to
Mrs. Lyne's bequest, it was extraordinary that he
bad never heard of it until yesterday morning, when
he went to Doctors' Commons, and there found that
lady's will, which contained the bequest of 2001. for the
purpose above-mentioned. He had since seen the
rector, and Messrs. Low, Glenny, and Yonge,
in whose name the trust was now standing,
and none of them knew anything about it. Mr.
Glenny said he never accepted the trust. The
chairman thought the vestry had been very relax in its

A duel was fought near Albaro, beyond the limits
of Genoa, a few days ago, between Count B—, a French
cavalry officer, anti a Prussian nobleman. These two gen-
tltmen were dining at the table d'lulte of the Hotel Feder on
the preceding day, when Count B. represented the affairs of
Ronne, and the flight of the Pope with the aid of Madame
Spaur, in a light which was resented by the Prussian, who
took up the cudgel for his Holiness arm the lady, and gave
