COFFEE.
ALL who prize a delicious Cup of really fine
COFFEE are invited to purchase from the Establishment of
SIDNEY and HALL, No. 8, Ludgate-hill.

SIDNEY AND HALL.

THE ESTABLISHED TEA MARKET, upon
Ludgate-hill, No. S ; SIDNEY and HALL .Proprietors.—A
further FALL of TWOPENCE to FOURPENCE per round upon
TEAS and COFFE • :S.
We have this day lowered Coffees 2d. to 4d. per lb., in consequence
of the reduced duties upon Foreign Coffees coming into operation. In
the sale of the finest qualities of Coffees, we have long stood pre-emi-
nent as the largest purchasers in the port of London. We are now
enabled to quote the very choicest quality at a price attainable by all
classes of society.
The nobility, families, and large consumers of Teas and Coffees,
are invited to compare the quality and prices of all goods sold at this
Establishment with those of any other house in the metropolis. The
best selected qualities have invariably distinguished Sidney and Hall,
and their present ei.,ensive sale enables them to sell at prices which
can only be equalled by the largest wholesale houses.
As merchants and• importers of Teas direct froth China, and the
proprietors of several extensive businesses in London and the largest
provincial towns, Sidney and Hall flatter themselves that they pos-
sess facilities for really cheap selling, which few can lay claim to,
and enable them to state most confidently that their establishment
shall maintain its character, as being one of the first and cheapest in
London.
The importation of Tea is, this season, of unusually good quality;
the quantity is also considerably larger than for many previous years,
and the anticipation of still larger shipments has had the effect of
lowering prices almost to a level with the lowest period in the history
of the tea market. ildney and Ball have therefore much satisfaction
in announcing a revised scale of prices, and, confident of superior
value, they invite comparison, as the most convincing proof of
cheapness and confidence.

COFFEES.
The Public will please to observe that, owing to the duty upon
Foreign Coffees being now only 6d per lb., whereas two years ago it
was Is. 3d., we are en)bled to introduce an entirely new class of
Coffees to their not Ice,and we feel assured that a trial is all that is
requisite to ensure upprobation. s. d.

HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

The following l'eport, with the evidence on which it
is framed, was issued yesterday :
The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the
present state of the building of the New Houses of Par-
liament, and to report thereon to the House, have, pur-
suant to the order of the House, examined the matters
to them referred, and have agreed to the following re-
port : _

Your Committee have examined Mr. Barry, as to the

progress already made in the buildings of the New
Houses of Parliament, and have endeavoured to ascer-
tain from him the probable time that will elapse before
the whole of the works can be completed, and the period
at which the two Houses may be occupied for the trans-
action of public business. .

He has stated to them that, were it urgently required,
the Houses, and a certain number of committee-rooms,
and other offices, might be prepared for occupation at the
commencement of the year 1846 ; but your Committee
do not feel themselves justified in affirming that such
osupation could take place without inconvenience to the
Mitt hers, or impediment to the further progress and
satisfactory completion of the building ; and they think
it right to observe, that the general arrangements for
ventillation cannot be completed till the commencement
of the year 1847.
Your Committee have examined the Speaker, the
Clerk of the House, and the Sergeant-at-Arms, as to
various alterations which have been lately proposed in
the interior arrangements of the House of Commons, and
of some pcirtions of the building immediately adjoining,
and have to report that Mr. Barry will be able to adopt
several valuable suggestions which the experience of the
officers of the House has enabled them to offer, without
any increase of the expenditure already authorised.
Your Committee have examined various parties as to
the course hitherto adopted by Mr. Barry, with reference
to alterations of the interior arrangements shown in the
plan approved by Committees of both Houses in 1836.
They impute no blame to Mr. Barry for, that course. and
have every reasan to believe that all the alterations
hitherto made have conduced to the convenience and
general effect of the building ; but, looking to the mis-
apprehension that appears to have prevailed as to these
proceedings hitherto, they are prepared to recommend
that, in future, Mr. Barry should make a half-yearly re-
port of the progress of the works to the Commissioners
of Woods and Forests ; and should also submit to that
Board any alterations which may hereafter be deemed
advisable, and accompany such report with plans of the
alterations proposed.
Your Committee further recommend that, as several
alterations, entailing more or less expense, have recently
been sanctioned by the Government, the Chief Commis-
sioner of Woods shall, at the commencement of the next
session of Parliament, lay upon the table of the House of
Commons a statement of the total estimated cost of the
building, according to the latest plan approved.
Your Committee also suggest that a plan prepared by
Mr. Barry under their direction, and exhibiting the pre-
sent state of the building, and the alterations adopted up
to the present time, shall be signed by the Chief Com-
missioner of Woods, and deposited in the libraries of
both Houses.
