TO ALL CONSUMERS OF TEAS AND COFFEES THROVtIIH•
OUT THE UNITED KINGDOM.
THE BRITISH HONG-KONG- TEA COM-
PANY inform-the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, ,and Families
generally, that in addition to their large Wholesale business, they
have now opened those extensive and commodious Premises, Nos. 12,
and 13;-NreHOLA-S-LANE; KING WILLIAM-STREET, CITY,
as a Wholesale and Retail Establishment, for the supply of none but
genuine and superior class Teas and Coffees, at an unprecedented
smallness of profit.

In consequence of the enormous quantity of spurious trash now
imported under the name :of Tea, there never was a period when
the public required, with a view to ',both Health and Economy, to be
more careful in the selection of this important article, and more upon
their guard against advertisers at extremely low prices.
From their long experience in all • branches of the Tea and Coffee
trade, the extensiveness of their transactions, and the arrangements
they have made for securing the choicest growths of Teas and
Coffees the world produces, the Company feel confident that nothing
is wanting, but a trial of their pretensions, to ensure them that
patronage it will be their constant aim and highest ambition to
merit.

The Company invite attention to their EXPLANATORY
PAMPHLET, containing a full description of all the various aorta
of Teas and Coffees imported, and sold by the Company, with prices,
&c., which will be sent Post Free, on being applied for; but the fol-
lowing are confidently recommended.

STAIWF•OII.DiELCTION.
(FRost A CoRRESPONHENT.)
On Friday -Sir George Clerk commenced his -canvass for
this borough. He
.was very
,coldly received ; but in the
evening he sent out a second address, stating that "from the
cOrdial reception he had rot with, he had no doubt of his
success" (no opponeitt having been brought forward)., On
his canvass, at, nearly-every house to which Sir George went,
he Was asked
,whether, he would support the Syston and
Peterborough Railway, which is to pass through our town,
and would have the. effect of ,bringing coals (one article
only) to us at less than half the present price, now very little
below thirty shillings per ton. In all cases he said he sup-
ported the Syston Railway, bet he -objected to the present
plan of crossing near the bridge ; and that he had a plan, by
which the railway might pass at some distance on the north
of the town, instead of passing through it.
koNDAy, ELEVEN A.M.—Sir George Clerk, accompanied by
about fourteen electors (including about half-a-dozen lawyers,
who were paid), proceeded to the hustings, where (it having
become a deep snow) Sir George was pelted unmercifully
with snowballs. The Mayor, Charles Haycock, Esq., was
cheered, and with some difficulty obtained silence. But on
the reading of the Act against bribery and corruption, the
people shouted ".a lie," " farce," &c.—it being well recol-
kcted that, in 1831. the Marquis of Exeter's agents served
notices to quit, and even upon widows, that they might
marry to preserve a vote. After silence was obtained, Dr.
Hopkinson proposed Sit:GeOrge Clerk, and stated that, the
Stamfordians had been highly honoured by his appointment
to the Mastership of the Mint by her Majesty.—(Cries of
"Not her Majesty, but Sir. R. Peel," and hisses.>
Mr. GiL.CHRIST. miller, briefly seconded the nomination,
and said that be was sure Sir George meant well for the town,
but lie was sorry that he was railed against during his can-
vass. _

Proclamation having again been made, Sir George Clerk
was declared duly elected. '
Sir GEORGE spoke at some length, acknowledging the
kindness of his reception (notwithstanding the snowballs>
and at some length gave his opinion of the railway, amid
cries of "We won't have it " He said he regretted to find
that he had not been so well received this time as•on former
occasions, and he saw that the people had set their hearts
upon the railway, but he objected to its crossing the road on
the present level, near the bridge.
Mr. CHARLES LOWE, a Conservative, then powerfully ad-
dressed the assemblage, and stated that the line proposed by
Sir G. Clerk could not be effected because of the hills, and
consequently the cuttings would be so great, and seriously
expensive, that no company would undertake it. As to the
bridge, every one knew it to be the most dangerous between
London and York.—(Cries of " It is," and immense cheer-
ing.) Mr. Lowe begged to introduce Mr. Stephenson, the
engineer, to give, his opinion.—(Hear, hear.)
The MAYOR, however, stated that he could not allow a non-
elector to speak, and declared the business terminated.
Sir George Clerk and his friends had a narrow escape ;
the hustings were being pulled down, amid the cheers of the
crowd, before they could withdraw ; and on his mounting
the chariot, trimmed with ribbons and small flags, a rush
was made, and the carriage was nearly stripped ; three out
of the four splendid large flags which preceded him were
wrested from the ensigns, and torn : Sir George himself was
pelted through the streets as in stood in his carriage, and
had his hat knocked oil above a dozen times.

After Sir George's party left the hustings, Mr. Rua's, a
gentleman connected with the Midland Counties Railway,
addressed the electors from a neighbouring inn, and fully
convinced them of the importance of the present line pro-
posed by that Company.
Since the election Sir George's party have made overtures
to the Stamford Railway Committee, which are likely to
benefit the town.

THE Pugs.—On the Serpentine river, Hyde Park,
the only persons who ventured on the ice were a few boys
who got on from the south shore, but were immediately
driven off by the Royal Humane Society's icemen. The ice
is still too weak to bear any number of persons, and is now
most dangerous from the weaker parts being hidden by the
snow. On the Long Water in Kensington- gardens, owing
to the extreme inclemency of the weather, there were not,
during the day, above 100 skaters. the larger portion of
whom were members of the Skating Club. On the Round
Pond there were not more than' 300 persons. No accident of
any moment occurred at either place, and on both the ice is
stated to be very unsafe. Ori the ornamental water in the
Regent's Park the number of skaters was much larger, full
1,300 disporting themselves nuring the day. No accidents
occurred. In St. James's Park there were about 700 skaters,
and no accidents.
BERWICK HARBOUR.—We understand that the
harbour Commissioners here have received a communication
from the Home-office, respecting the eligibility of Berwick
harbour as one of the proposed harbours of refuge. The coin.
municatiqn„. contains instructions to transmit all the plans
and reports relative to the harbour, in order that they may
be submitted to the investigation of the Government Com-
missioners-appointed- to' exadthie the claims of the various
'porta. 'A similar commitni4ation has been received by the•
local authorities ab Punbar.—.Berwiek and Kelso Warder.
