BALLANTINE said the parish were in a very
unseemly hurry to apprentice the child, and he in-
quired of the mistress if she would learn her to
write, and improve her reading and shelling? The
mistress said she was anxious to do all in her power
for the little friendless orphan, and if the maei,.trates
would consent to the binding, she would undertake
to send her to an evening school, where she could
be taught writing and arithmeie.
i The nigi,tratea said this was a very fair offer,
and particularly inquired into the character of the
intended mistress and her husband. They were. in.
formed that they had I;ved a, No. 2, Ntirtt,a-stret-t,
St. George's in the East, for !hie, year', that their
character was unexceptionattle, and that the husband
was a biker, a very indus rious min, and in lull

employ.
Mr. BALLANTINE said that as two of their tin-
cipal officers lived in Mar ha-street, who could look
after the child's welfare, awl as the characters of the
parties stood so high, the Bench would consent to
the binding, and they hoped the mistress would
treat the poor orphan as she would her own childteu.
At the same time the Magistrates expected that the
parish would not bring so young a child before them

CHINA TEA TRADE.

Yesterday the East India Company's quarterly
sale of teas commenced at the East India House,
and it excited a more than ordinary degree of atten-
tion, as this is the last sale but one which will take
place by the Company under the old charter. The
attendance, therefore, of persons interested in the
rade was pretty numerous, !.nd as soon as the pre-
,iding Director, JOHN MASTERMAN, Esq., had taken
his seat,

Mr. WILLIAms said he had one or two questions
to put to the Chairman, which were of great im-
portance to all parties interested in the trade, espe-
cially as the charter was now so near the period of
its expiration. He wished to know if it was in-
tended by the Court of Directors to forward to the
outports any of the cargoes of tea now on their way
to this country from China.
Mr. MASTERMAN replied that he was not aware
that any such decision had been come to by the
Court of Directors.

Mr. WILLIAMS said the next questions he had to
put were of very considerable importance to the
persons who attended that sale-room on the present
occasion. The Company's last sale of teas would
take place in March next, and he wished to know,
on behalf of the trade, whether any determination

had yet been come to by the Court of Directors as
ro the quantity of tea that would be declared for
'he March sale, and whether the different qualities
would be put up at the present taxed prices ?
The Director stated that he certainly did not
understand that any determination had as yet been
come to as to the quantity of teas to be put up at
the next stile. With respect to the taxed prices,
they (as the Hon. Gentleman was understood to
say) would remain as at present.
The sale then proceeded. The present de-
claration amounted to 8,500,000 lbs., of which

1,500,000 lbs. were Boheas, 5,500,000 lbs. of
Congou, Campoi,Pekoe,and Souchong ; 1,200,000
lbs. of Twankay and Hyson Skin, and 300,000 lbs.
of Hyson. As compared with the last sale, which
w-dit,palace in September, there is an increase in the
of yeste;daY;liiLl'itrtu 2b1N100.-IbF Tha, Com-
above 9,000 chests were disposed of, at prices
rather lower than those obtained at the last sale. The
sale will last about ten or twelve days.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 3, 1833.

The German Papers received this day are
devoid of any news of public importance. The
Political Gazette of Munich mentions the
return of King OTHO to Napoli, where he was
received with general cordiality by the inhabitants.

some extracts from a comical dissertation on the
present state of affairs in Europe, which the au-
thor, who is represented as a distinguished
Prussian statesman, presented to the foreign
ministers at the late conferences of the monarchs
at Schewdt and Alunchengratz. This essay must
have been received with favour by the dip-
lomatists, for it inveighs bitterly against the
pess, and proposes that the sphere of action
of the Journals should be limited " by an abso-
lute prohibition of all discussion on public
affairs." It also speaks in the most reverential
terms of every possible species of nobility, but
by way ofa " sop to the Cerberus" of liberalism,
insists that " nobility and merit ought to be
inseparable."

In another column we have given insertion to
a letter on the subject of the Corn Laws, from
a correspondent, who may, for aught we know,
be a good farmer, but he is evidently profoundly
ignorant of the subject on which he writes. As,
however, he advances the position on which the
agriculturists mainly rely, it may be worth while
to notice it. flow, it is asked, can the agricul
turists bear any reduction of their rents with such
an enormous National Debt as we have ?
They cannot, say the monopolists ; therefore
foreign corn must he excluded. Now there are
two things assumed in this argument which
we can by no means grant. It is assumed that
the owners of land pay all the interest of the
National Debt, and it is assumed that were
foreign corn admitted rents generally would fall.
Now we have been endeavouring to demonstrate
for some weeks past, and from certain symptoms
of an approaching agitation upon the subject,
we thought with success, that rents would rise
by a free importation of food. We would
beg our correspondent to take the trouble
to read " England and America," or to
consult any other work which will inform him
respecting the rents obtained for land in com-
mercial states which do not exclude foreign
corn. But supposing that rents did fall, what
has that to do with the question of the right
of the people to have bread as cheap as they can
get it ? If rents have been high hitherto, in
consequence of the corn laws, which we deny, it
has been pro tanto a robbery of the poeple ; and
the landowners, instead of complaining that that
robbery is not suffered to continue, ought to be
very thankful that they are not made to refund.
With respect to the National Debt, it can only
be paid by the prosperity of the manufacturing in-
terest. As mere agricultural country we could
never pay it. No mere agricultural country ever
could pay heavy taxes. Holland has in proportion
to her population, a larger national debt than Eng-
land, and has only been able to stand under it
because she has no restriction on the importa-
tion of food. Instead of complaining of the
manufacturer leaving his factory when he is
upon the point of ruin, the landlord should
