SIDNEY AND HALL,

THE ESTABLISHED TEA. MARKET, upon
Ludgate-hill, No. 8 ; SIDNEY and HALL Proprietors.—A
further FALL of TWOPENCE to FOURPENCE per Pound 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 add Hall,
and their present ex .ensive sale enables them to sell at prices which
can only be equalled by the laigest wholesale houses.
As merchants and importers of Teas direct Itom 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. Sidney and Hall 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.

LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The decided superiority of this Medicine over every other
itherto offered to the public for the cure of those dreadfully painful
diseases gout, r` eumatic gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, &c ,
is so full manifested by the increasing sale, and the testimony of
thousands in every rank of life, that those who are aware of the ex.
istence of such a remedy, and have not availed themselves of trying
its efficacy, cannot truly be objects of sympathy. The testimonials of
the astonishing effects of this medicine are universally accompanied
by the fact that no inconvenience of any sort attends its administra-
tion, but that the patient, without feeling the operation of the medi-
cine, is universally left in a stronger and better state of health than
experienced previous to being afflicted with this disease; and in all
ewes of acute suffering great relief is experienced in a few hours,
and a cure is vrierally effected in two or three days.

of which are almost new. None of our fishermen are
engaged as yet; indeed so far as we know none of
them have made any offer. Both parties are deter-
mined seemingly to take their chance of an every-
day market, and to let quantity, quality, and demand,
regulate ,the price, which is undoubtedly the only
fair way for both. The fishermen intend to make
a start on Monday night first, when we wish them
every success. Indeed their hopes are most san-
guine, the appearance at present being good. Fin-
nem are to be seen sporting a few miles off shore,
and the gannet, or solan goose, in great numbers
hovering about. Some of the fishermen were tempted,
•by theappearances the other night, to make a trial
with the jigger s; they went off and fell in with a
very large shoal of herrings playing; they, however,
caught only a very few scores; the quality of_which
was much better than we have seen this season.
Owing to the recent improvements in the harbour,
there will be afforded every accommodation both to
curers an 3 fishermen.—Berwick Advertiser.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—As the readers of your paper of the 9th inst. must
have been led by your report of the inquest on the body of a
child, who was drowned on Saturday last, to a very en o-
neous estimate of my conduct, I must beg you will do me the
justice to insert this positive refutation of the waterman's
evidence. When the child was brought into my house, there
were not the slightest indications of life remaining. Myers's
assertion that the heart was beating is a gross falsehood, for
the child was then quite dead. I made use of no such ex-
pression as " be off with you ;" but I said to the man (who
was in a state of intoxication), " close at hand is Charinq-
cross Hospital, where hot-baths and every thing necessary in
these cases are always in readiness—run thither with the
child as quickly as you can ;" at the same time I dispatched
with him an assistant, to inform Dr. Golding; and, if neces-
sary, to aid in the measures adopted for resuscitation. In
taking these steps I conceived that I was pUrsuing the best
means that humanity and prudence could suggest, the hos-
pital being within two minutes run from •my residence, a
space of time infinitely shorter than must be consumed in any
private house in getting together and preparing the requisite
utensils and auxiliaries, which at an hospital are constantly
ready; affording, therefore, more effective means for the re-
storation of life in cases of emergency than the best directed
efforts can accomplish when they have been alayed.
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
•JA MES SCOTT.
