FORGERY.—CAUTION.— Some unprincipled
persons are advertising spurious Teas under a forged title, in
the hope of passing them off as Captain PIDDING'S TEAS. Pur-
chasers of his Howqua's Teas will observe that all genuine packages
bear his signature thus—" Captain John Rhodes Pidding, Hon. Com-
pany's Service." The advantages possessed by Captain Pidding—
among others, the having secured for himself the exclusive importa-
tion of these Teas—are the result of eight voyages made to China,
and five years spent in that country.
Captain Pidding has only two agents in London—Verrey, 229, Re-
gent-street, ourner of Hanover-street ; also 3, Pall-mall, next the
Haymarket ; wad T. Littlejohn and Son, 77, King William-street, City.
For country agencies, address to Captain Pidding, College-hill.

BRITANNIA_ LIFE ASSURANCE COM-
PANY, 1, Princes-street, Bank, London.
Empowered by Special Act of Parliament (4 Vict., cap. 9.)
HALF CREDIT RATES OF PREMIUM.
Persons assured according to these rates are allowed credit (with.
out security) for half the amount of the first seven Annual Pre-
miums, paying interest thereon at the rate of Five per Cent, per
Annum, with the option of paying off the Principal at any time, or
having the amount deducted from the sum assured when the Policy
becomes a claim.
Policies may thus be effected at lower rates than are generally
required for the term of seven years only ; whilst the holders have
the same security for the payment of their claims, whenever death
may happen, as if they paid double the amount of premium, which
would be charged for assurances effected in the usual way.

Extract from the Half Credit Rates of Premium.
Annual Premium required for an Assurance of 100/., for the Whole
Term of Life.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

A special Court of Aldermen was held yesterday in
the Guildhall, for the purpose of receiving the return
from. the ward of Portsoken, and tendering the oaths to
Mr. David Salomons, the recently-elected Alderman for
that ward. The hour fixed for opening the Court was
twelve for one, but long before that hour the avenues
and approaches to the Court were crowded to excess by
respectably-dressed persons, the majority of whom ap-
peared to be of the Hebrew descent. The proceedings
appeared to excite the greatest interest in the City. At
one o'clock precisely the Lord Mayor took the chair, and
the names of the Aldermen having been called over, the
minutes of the former Court were read.

RlCE.—Since Tuesday, evert rates have ruled for Ben-
gal in the private transactions, which have been moderate
in extent. The demand for Madras has been rather dull
during the week. Of Siam 500 bags low white sold steadily
at auction at from 9s 6d to lOs per cwt for ordinary to
middling white. Carolina has met a good demand for
home consumption, and former prices are firm. No
particular business has been done in Java description,
the holders requiring higher prices. A cargo of 7,000
bags is expected to arrive shortly. At public sale, 147
boxes Pearl Sago sold, duty paid, at 14s 6d per cwt for
low quality.
SPICES.—As the large parcels of Cassia Lignea lately
arrived will soon be offered at auction, the trade defer
their purchases, for the execution of orders, until
the sales take place, so that business pri-
vately has been suspended. Business in all kinds
f Pepper has remained quiet. On Friday there was an
auction of 380 bags Malabar which were all taken in
above their value, namely, at from 30 to 34d per lb for
good half heavy to good heavy shot kind. The holders
of Pimento have asked very stiff rates, which has limited

AMERICAN ICE.-LYNN'S WATERLOO
HOTEL, RANELAGII-STREET, LIVERPOOL.
WILLIAM LYNN respectfully calls the attention of the nobility,
gentry, hotel-keepers, and others, to this beautiful and cheap article
of importation. It is in solid blocks, weighing from one to two hun-
dred pounds each, and is as clear as crystal ; it can be sent to any
distance, with very trifling waste ; and is used for a variety of pur-
poses that Eaglish Ice cannot be applied to.
W. L. has imported some PROVISION SAFES from America, for
the use and comfort of Private Families—

The REFRIGERATOR, or (as sometimes designated) a Miniature
Ice-house. This is a new and useful article of furniture, rapidly
coming into use in northern and southern climes ; it is designed to
keep cool and sweet such dishes in the culinary department as are
necessary to be protected frem the heat of the weather during the
summer season.

The Refrigerator Is now considered an indispensible article in the
economy of every good housewife ; the quantity of food it protects
from the weather will more than pay the cost of the article in
one year.

They may be seen in operation, in their various valuable and useful
purposes, at the Waterloo Hotel, and families can be supplied With
them on moderate terms.

LAMBETH-STREET.

Yesterday William nob/on, aged 19, a mat-maker,
was charged before the Hon. G. C. Norton, with causing
so serious an injury to the person of Elizabeth Dowell
that her life is at present in serious jeopardy.
From the evidence it appeared, that during the per-
formances at the Garrick Theatre on the preceding
night, a quart stone bottle fell from the gallery
on to the head of Elizabeth Dowel, a respectable
young woman, who was with her mother and other
friends in the pit. Such was the force with which
the bottle fell, that it smashed into pieces, and in-
flicted no less than four serious wounds upon the
head of the young woman. The sufferer was carried
to the house of a neighbouring surgeon, who recom-
mended her immeliate removal to the London Hospital.
The unfortunate circumstance created a strong feeling
amongst the crowded audience, it being suspected that
the dangerous missile had been flung from the gallery
by some mischievous person ; and Mr. Gomersal, one
of the proprietors of the theatre, went on the stage, and
otr,red a sovereign to any person who would point out
to himself or his officers the person who had flung the
bottle. The prisoner instantly acknowledged himself as
the person to blame, but declared that the bottle had
slipped from him by accident, while he was in the act,
Of handing it to a friend to drink some beer from it.
The young woman being pronounced by the surgeon
who had examined her to be in a dangerous state, Mr.
Gom,rsat felt it to be his duty to give the prisoner into
custody.
The prisoner repeated his former statement that the
affair was perfectly accidental ; but the surgeon's certifi-
cate dwclaring the sufferer to be still in very great danger,
the prisoner was remanded to a future day.
Mr. NORTON, however, consented to take bail for his
appearance.

ADELAIDE GALLERY.

On Monday the Adelaide Gallery re-opened, after
having been " entirely remodelled and beautifully de-
corated," with the first of a series of lectures on the
dances of all nations. The expounder was Mr. Al-
fred Ormonde, who formerly; lectured on Scottish
music, .ald the "experiments" were performed by a
corps of Parisian dancers, who exhibited on "an ap-
propriate stage," erected for the purpose, embellished
with " beautiful scenery," a " splendid new drop
scene," and "magnificent costumes." Previous to
the lecture there was a concert by the Sax Horn
Band, who performed several popular airs very ef-
fectively, but the great attraction was the experimen-
tal lecture on dancing. The lecturer was mounted
on a platform at the end of the long gallery, and im-
mediately above him was the ballet laboratory, fitted
up in all respects as a stage, with procenium, foot-
lights, &c. Mr. Ormonde having held forth for a
short time on the origin of dancing and on the pecu-
liar dances of the Greeks, called on Mesdames Jo-
sephine, Mason, and Fanny Genty, and M. Alexandre
Vandris, for their first experiment, illustrative of the
classic dance of the Greeks. Next came the experi-
ment of the Spanish, seguidella, with castinet appa-
ratus, very cleverly -perforniecl by Mademoiselles
Louise Pierron and Fanny
~Genty; and so the lec-
ture proceeded—alittle utteiiiirk of smart things by
Mr. Ormonde, then some dancing by the Parisians,
until they arrived at the grand climax, the Polka,
which was performed in good style by six dancing
philosophers.

These Candles burn without snuffing more brilliantly than the

commonest Tallow Candles. The Patentees respectfully beg all pur-

many imitators have adopted the term "Composite." They are sold
by most of the respectable Tallow Chandlers throughout the King-
dom, and are supplied wholesale- to the trade by Edward Price
and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall, and by Palmer and Co., Sutton, street,

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Carlisle, Feb. 29

(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.)
Walter Graham, the younger, aged 23, and John Hornsby,
aged 20, were indicted for stealing_ a quantity of yarn, the
property of W. B. Proctor, Walter Graham bemg at the time
servant to the said W. B. Proctor. • r,r
Graham, who was well and somewhat stylishly dressed,
but whose appearance betokened early dissipation, had been
foreman to Mr. Proctor, who is a sail-cloth manufacturer in
this town, and the other prisoner carried on, in a small way,
a similar business to that of Mr. Proctor.
His LORDSHIP having summed up, the Jury retired for a
short time, and returned into Court with a verdict of Guilty
against both.—To be transported for seven years.
(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.)
Isaac Angus was indicted for cutting and wounding Wm.
Sterling, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm.
The prosecutor was a police-officer, and, seeing the pri-
soner quarrelling with another man, interfered for the pur-
pose of putting an end to the affray. Though an officer, he
had not at the time the dress of an officer upon him, and the
prisoner resenting his interference, a struggle took place, in
the course of which both fell several times. The prisoner
then endeavoured to make his escape, and in doing so threw
something at the prosecutor, what it was did not precisely
appear, which cut him severely on the head.
His LORDSHIP having summed up, the jury found the pri.
sonewilty of a common assault.

Empowered by Act of Parliament.
The many novel and varied'advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting polioies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cont. on the
amount already invested; and this bonus according to an equitable
scale may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of Alture
premiums

CLERKEIVWELL.

John Dobey Pollard, a solicitor, residing at Bowling Green-
lane, King-street, Borough, and ➢larsh-gate, Lambeth, was
placed inthe felons' dock, charged with stabbing Mr. H. Hen-
worthy, a reporter, residing in Camden Town.
The prosecutor deposed that on the previous evening he
met the prisoner in a public-house, where they fell into con-
versation, and had some refreshments together. They left the
house, and in Holborn the prisoner, who was intoxicated,
behaved in so strange a manner that a large mob gathered
round him. 'Witness, conceiving he was a respectable man,
induced him to accompany witness into Warwick-court to
avoid the crowd. The prisoner then struck him, and witness
having been informed that Mr. Pollard was known at the
Lion public-house, Jockey-steps, Holborn, accompanied
him thither. The prisoner sat down on a stool,
within a few feet of the bar, which witness was
standing at, with his back against it, when the pri-
soner suddenly made a thrust of an open pocket knife
at the lower part of his abdomen. Witness bent his body so
as to avoid his thrust, but the blade pierced through all his
dress, and inflicted a slight puncture on the flesh. Witness
had given the prisoner no provocation whatever, was per-
fectly sober, and had never seen him before that day. If he
had not stooped he believed the stab would have been of a
very serious nature. The prisoner threatened to " pepper"
witness at the station-house.
Mr. Joseph Hearne, a reporter, residing in North-street,
Pentonville, confirmed the above testimony.
The knife was produced; it had a large dagger-pointed
blade, and was a very formidable weapon.
The prosecutor proposed that the matter might be suffered
to proceed no further, if the prisoner would place a few pounds
in the poor-box.
Mr. COMBE declined to listen to any proposal of the kind,
and the prisoner was committed for trial to the Old Bailey.

COURT OF SEWERS FOR WEST-

MINSTER.

Yesterday a Court was held at the Commissioners'
house, Greek-street, Soho-square, for the purpose of
hearing applications and transacting the usual business.
The Secretary having read the minutes of the last
meeting, and a Report of the proceedings since that
time up to the present, the several sewers'-rate collectors
were called in to render their accounts, when some few
reductions were submitted to, and a great number of
summonses and warrants issued against the defaulters.
A number of applications were then made by persons
for permission to run drains from various tenements •
chiefly in the neighbourhood of St. John's-wood, Lisson-
grove, and in the north part of the district of West-
minster, most of which were granted by the Court.
In none of these applications was there the slightest
point of interest, except to the parties immediately con-
cerned.
