TEA.—lmporters of black and green still manifest
firmness, and will not sell but at fully previous. rates.
For Pouchong better prices are obtained. Fine scented
Orange Pekoe must be quotr d again dearer. Congou
is not much in request. Twankay has sustained the
former value. For Ilyson and Young Hyson prices are
fully as high, but there is a pause in the demand. The
few parcels of Imperial and Gunpowder sold were
at former terms. At the public sales held
yesterday merchants displayed firmness and bought
in and withdrew large parcels at full prices ;
of the total quantity offered, amounting to
21,179 packages, 5,000 were disposed of, 1,500 of which
consisted of Pouchong, which went at an advance on last
sale's rates of 1d to 2d, and on fine scented Orange
Pekee the rise was• 2(1 per lb ; all other sorts of Tea
brought the former value, but the biddings for such were
languid.
SPICES.—This afternoon Black Pepper was in fair de-
tnand, and 530 bags at public sale were sold at stiffer
rates. Sumatra, good clean but stalky, fetched 2d to
*l, inferior 21:1 ; 7 cases of Nutmegs, at 3s to 3s 5(1 for
brown Penang ; 1 case of Mace 2s 2d. Of Pimento 103
bags were sold at 30 to 31d for good middling„ but
23 casks of wild Nutmegs were all withdrawn.

POLICE IN TELLIG CE.
(YESTERDAY.)
M.4NSION-1100SE.
POTSONOUS CAN,pLES.—Mr. Robert Black more, so-
licitor, yesterday applied to the Lord Mayor, under
circumstances which he considered much interested
the public. A long statement had appeared in a
London newspaper of the Bth instant, relative to the
use of arsenic in the manufacture of composite can-
dles, and that statement had been copied into the pro-
vincial papers and otherwise extensively circulated, so
as to produce an unfavourable impression upon the
public mind against all other manufacturers of can-
dles called " composite candles," except the parties to
whom the matter particularly referred.
The LORD AL.YOR—I do not think that I can en-
tertain any application upon such a subject, as I can-
not see how it can come under the jurisdiction of a
magistrate.
Mr. Blackmore said he apprehended that he could
show how the Lord Mayor. -could grant the ap-
plication he had to make. He represented the firm of
Francis Tucker and Co., of Kensington and South
Moiton-street, Grosvenor-square, wax and tallow
chandlers, by special appointment, to her Majesty, and
these gentlemen considered that, after the public state-
ment that had been circulated, they might be thought
guilty of mixing arsenic in the composite candles
made by them, and, therefore, felt bound, under the
sanction and approval of the chief magistrate, to make
a solemn declaration that neither arsenic nor any
other poison or poisonous ingredient was, or ever had
been, used in the making of any composite or other
candles manufactured or sold by them. The prin-
cipal partners of the firm were present.
The LORD MAYOR—The declaration they are de-
sirous of making is a voluntary one, and upon
what ground am I to consider that it is ex-
pedient for me to permit it to be made ? Here
his Lordship read the 13th section of chapter
62 of the sth and 6th of William IV., viz.,
"It shall not be lawful for any justice of the peace, or
others, to administer any oath, affidavit, or solemn
affirmation, touching any matter or thing whereof
he bath not jurisdiction or cognisance by some statute
in force at the time being, provided that nothing
herein shall be construed to extend to. any oath, &c.,
on any matter or thing touching the preservation of
the peace, or the trial, or punishment of offences, or
touching any proceeding before either House of Par-
liament, or any Committee thereof, respectively ; nor
to any oath, affidavit, or affirmation, which may be
required by the law of any foreign country to give
validity to instruments in writing designed to be
used in such foreign countries respectively." "Now,
I do not see," added his Lordship, "how the excep-
tion applies at all to your case. It appears to me that
I should be subject to a penalty if I allowed the de-
claration to be made."
Mr. Blackmore requested to be permitted to direct
the Lord Mayor's attention to that part of the same
Act, which stated as follows :—" But as it may be
necessary and proper, in many cases not herein spe-
cified, to require confirmation of written instruments
or allegations of proof of debts, or of the execution of
deeds, or other matters, he it therefore enacted, that
it shall, and may be lawful for any justice of the peace,
or other officer, &c., to take and receive the declara-
tion." In his opinion, the subject upon Which his
application was grounded, came fairly under the head
of " other matters." It was, he urged, particularly
desirable to get his Lordship's sanction to a declara-
tion which would have the effect of removing an in-
jurious impression which had been made.
The Loan MAYOR—Have you made the declara-
tion in the form of an affidavit ? Mr. Blackmore—
No, my Lord ; the declaration is in strict conformity
with the schedule in the Act.
The LORD MAYOR—I shall to-morrow let you
know whether I can permit the declaration in such
matter to be made, but my impression at present is,
that it does not refer to the exceptions in the Act of
Parliament.
His Lordship's opinion will be given this day.
An eld woman named Mary Kirby, who had been
for some years in the employment of Messrs. Moses,
in Aldgate, was fully committed for trial upon the
charge of having robbed her employers of galoons
and buttons.
