FOX-HUNTING A CERTAIN CURE FOR THE
GouT.—A gentleman residing near Melton Mowbray has for
some time been laid up with the rheumatic gout, when he
thought of a remedy which might, perhaps, effect a cure, and
which has had the desired effect. On Monday the 3d instant,
Mr. Holyoake Goodricke's hounds met at Kirby-gate, when
the gentleman went to see them throw off, but being a true-
bred sportsman, he followed the hounds to Cream Gorse,
where they found a fine dog' fox, and went off in grand style
for Garatree-hills, then round for Burton Lazars, and across
for New Guadaloupe, and passed the navigation just below
Sysonby, when pug shook himself, and rode off again for Sir
Harry's cover, leaving that to the left, went in the direction of
Melton Spinney, but was at length captured in a large field
near to Lord Plymouth's lodge, after a sharp run of thirty
minutes. The gentleman, forgetting all about his malady, was
allowed by an eye-witness to have cleared more fences than
any other sportsman in the field, and which, it is said, has
entirely cured him of the gout.

THE TEA TRADE.

Thursday there was a very numerous attendance of the
merchants and others connected with the China trade, at the
Commercial Sale Rooms, Mincing-lane, in consequence of
several large sales of teas, imported direct from Canton,
Bombay, and Singapore, under the new system of free trade,
and which were bonded for home consumption, having been
announced to take place.
Mr. W. FRY said he wished to call the attention of the
trade- to a subject of some importance before the sales com-
menced. The trade were aware that considerable anxiety
was felt as to the course the Directors of the East India
Company would pursue to dispose of the remaining stock
of teas held by the Company. A strong desire had also
been expressed by the trade to know whether the Company
intended to alter in any way the upset price. In order to
ascertain the views of the East India Company on these
subjects a letter had been addres,;ed to the Court of Di-
rectors, to which an answer bad that morning been received.
If it was the pleasure of the meeting he would read the
letter to the Court of Directors and their answer. The
letter addressed to the Chairman. and Deputy Chairman of
the Company was as follows :
"We take the liberty of addressing you respecting the
course which the East India Company intend to pursue in the
disposal of the remainder of their teas subsequent to Decem-
ber. On this subject it is highly important that the buyers
should be informed in order to enable them to regulate their
purchases at the ensuing sale. We, therefore, request that
you will, at as early a period as may be practicable, afford as
much information as it may be in your power to give.—We
are, with great respect, &c.
( Signed) J. SANDERSON, and the rest of the
Nov. 10. Committee of the Tea Trade.
To this letter the following answer was received :
" East India House, Nov. 20, 1834.
" Sir,—H iving laid before the Court of Directors of the
East India Company your letter, dated the 10th instant, I am
commanded to acquaint you in reply, that there will be no al-
teration in the upset prices of tea at the sale in March, 1835,
and that the quantity of Company's tea that may then be of-
fered will be fixed -at the usual period, with reference to the
state and prospects of the market at the time.—l am, Sir,
your most obedient humble servant,
( Signed) "P. AUBER, Secretary.
" John Sanderson, Esq."

The sales then commenced. A question arose on the
teas imported ex Palambam, by Messrs. C. Hancock and
Co., involving the policy of continuing the present. scale
of duties.

Mr. TRAVERS said before these teas were offered he
really wished to have the opinion of the trade as to the
correctness with which they were designated by the in-
spector of teas at the Custom-house. The teas now before
the trade were allowed to pass as boheas, and, of course,
with the bohea duty; but he called upon the trade to state
whether they were not, in fact, congou .teas. This was
another instance which showed the necessity of having a
fixed scale of duties. Mr. Wybrow, the Government in-
spector, had called these teas bolieas. but in fact they were
congous, and he would appeal to the most experienced
brokers in the trade if that was not the fact. Here was,
according to his opinion, another instance of the extreme
folly of the present system of duties, for the Government
inspector bad, from ignorance or negligence, determined
that to be bohea which was to his mind congou, and no-
thing but congou—at least it was what he had been accus-
tomed to call congou ; that he had spoken to several persons
upon the subject, who coincided in this opinion, with
one exception, and he was bound to state it, but this ex-
ception indeed only made the case stronger, and proved
that a variable duty, determinable by opinion only, was
capricious and unjust. It might he very convenient, per-
haps, to buy this tea at the bohea duty, but the Govern-
ment would suffer greatly by it, and the uncertainty in
which such a precedent must involve every future importer
would prove most injurious to some parties and bring great
confusion into the trade. He had no wish to raise any un-
necessary discussion upon this matter, but it was an impor-
tant point to notice at the commencement of a system, and
it was quite worth while to put upon record the opinion of
the trade upon such a subject, supposing that be stated
the question rightly, " that one of the greatest evils
in commercial legislation consisted in the uncertainty and
fluctuation of those burdens which are affixed upon trade
by the Government."
Mr. -Tint, the selling hroki,7, replied fiat the
question was, in his opinion, sufficiently of the bohea flavour
to be termed bohea tea, and he had therefore entered it as
such, but be admitted it was a case of difficulty.
11r. WILLIAMS, the senior broker of the trade, asserted
on the contrary that it was congou and nothing else, and
that there was not a particle of behea tea in it.
Mr. GIBBS, Mr. WATms, and various other brokers
and dealers, all concurred in the latter opinion, and this in-
deed seemed to be the prevailing opinion of the room, and
the former gentleman stated that it was evidently a case of
uncertainty, and one of those which he feared, as the trade
have anticipated, likely to occur frequently, and in which
the importer will be exposed to much vexation as well as
great loss or profit, according to the humour of the in-
spector at the moment of pronouncing his fiat.
Mr. HOOPER did not think it fair to raise such a ques-
tion at the merchants' sales, as such a point had never been
urged at the sales by the East India Company, where teas
of a similar quality to those now offered had been sold as
bohea.. He thought it would be more fair to allow the sale
to proceed.

The sales were continued until Mr. IticuAnD Gums
mounted the rostrum, and stated that some withdrawals
must take place.
Mr. TRAVERS asked why these lots were withdrawn ?
lie had heard it whispered, and he was ware Mr. Gibbs
would inform him rightly, that these lots having been en-
tered as congou tea, the Government inspector had deter-
mined that they were not congou, but, not being enabled
to say what tea they were, he intended to class them as un-
enumerated tea, subject to a duty of 3s. per lb. Now, he
would inform the trade that the very same tea had been en-
tered, approved, and sold as congou tea, only a week or ten
days since, by another broker ; and how was it that the in-
spector—for it was the same inspector to each—had so sud-
denly altered his mind about it ?

Mr. GIBBS cheerfully answered the question. What
Mr. Travers had stated was perfectly true. It was the
same tea that had been sold by another party at a duty of
2s. 2d ; and for his principal to be taxed with a duty of 3s.
within so short a period, was certainly a great hardship. A
remonstrance was now before the Board of Customs upon
the subject, and it was on this account that the tea was
withdrawn.

Mr. ANTROBUS stated that the whole of this confusion
arose out of a scale of duties. At this port it appeared
the Government officers chose to term eongou tea either
bohea tea or unenumei ated tea, at their pleasure ; thus
making the importer pay Is. 6d. per lb., or i9s. per lb., ac-
cording to their caprice ; and in Liverpool the officers had
made similar mistakes ; but there it had taken a different
course, for they bad determined, in a parcel of tea just
imported, to affix a congou duty to bohea tea, and this
had, of course, produced a serious remonstrance from the
importer ; but these things were slow of determination by
the superior powers, and the importer in question was at
this moment sufferirr, from the delay. He hoped, now that
the whole question began to be better understood by the
outports, that the tea trade of London would, at the next
Session, receive their cordial support in obtaining a change
of this absurd law.

Mr. STYAN said that the evils arising out of this system
were not confined to the cases referred to by other gentle-
men. There were many petty vexations and exactions
practised which were not seen by the public, all of which
would harass trade, and enhance the value of the article,
for, in proportion as the importer suffered, the public must
pay. A case had occurred to himself very lately. He bad
entered as bohea a parcel of tea, being the very same, only to
a different importer, as had been entered and 831 d by Mr.
Thompson, only a week before, as bohea tea, and approved
of as Bohea by Mr. Wybrow ; but, in his own case, Mr.
Wybrow took the liberty of altering his opinion, and de-
termined it should pay the congou duty. And what was
the result of such a change of opinion, but that lie (Mr.
Styan) had been desired to pay a fine of two guineas for
this alleged offence. Against this monstrous proceeding he
had, as yet in vain, protested—but he feared there was no
chance of success. Mr. Wybrow's dictum, it seemed,
must be the law of the land.—(Hear, and " Shame").
The sales then proceeded to their termination. The teas
imported by Messrs. C. Hancock and Company realised the
highest prices. The flowery pekoes fetched 4s. 10d. per lb.,
and the Padre° souchong from ss. lid. to ss. sd. per lb.
The other teas sold well. It was remarked that the result
of the sale fully supported the observations made by indi-
viduals who took part in the day's discussion relative to the
scale of duties, the bohea teas selling from 2s. 11 d. to
3s. did. in bond, while the ordinary descripti9ns of congous
fetched only from Is. to ls. 6d. per lb. ; the former being
liable to the duty of ls. 6d. per lb., and tly: latter to the
duty of 2s. 2d. per lb.

Lord Stanley entertained the Duke of Richmond,
Sir James Graham, and a sale party at dinner at Knowsley-
Hall on Friday last.
