minions of the Honourable Company."
The said COURT of DIRECTORS do likewise give notice

"To call the attention of the Propietors of East India Stock
to the disadvantages under which, in British India, the growers
of Sugar, Cotton, Indigo, Coffee, Tea, Silk, Tobacco, and other

direct arid indirect taxation, that is to say, to a heavy Land
Tax, and also to Customs' Duty on the export of their produce,
whether to the United Kiiignom, or Coast ways, or to
foreign parts, while the growers of,,,,rthe same kinds of
produce in the British West India Is'ands, in Demerara, in
Ceylon, in Mauritius. i 1 the United States of America, in the
Republics of South America, in the Brazils, in Mexico, in
Texas, in Cuba, in Porte Rico, and in other countries with
whom the growers in British India are made to compete, hold
their lands subject to no direct tax whatever, and export their
produce to all parts, either entirely free, or subj !et only to a
ti ifling Custom's Duty."

submit the folloxing motion at the said Quarterly General
Court, viz. :
" That the papers or documents relating to the proceedings

EDITED by Mrs. GORE,
" This charming tale seems rapidly pr. ving its clai'ai to the
title Mrs. Gore has bestowed upon it. Its lively, vivid, and
picturesque sketches of French and German manners and so-
ciety (luting their most picturesque period—its spirited and ori-
ginal draughts of character—and its dramatic cast of plot and
ncident, are commanding for it universal perusal. Its " fas-
cinating " hero, the Marquis Letonere ; the noble, passionate,
and devoted Princesse de Soisons, heroine of the tale ; the
three Aulic councillors, on whose oddities and peculiarities the
whole plot turns—the jolly German boar-hunting Baron—the
henpecked gourmand—the crack-brained scholar; not to for-
get the genorous-hearted little tailor and his shrew of a wife—
all these first-rate characters, and half a dozen more of a se-
rondary class, give to this tale a fascination' which will no
loubt ke as irresistible in our day as its celebrated hero was
in his."

of Black Bombazin, reduced from 2s. 9d. and 3s. 6d. per yard,
to Is. and Is. 2d. per yard.
The above goods are quoted in order to give an idea of the
reduction intended to be made throughout the stock ; but in
consequence of the difficulty of disposing of such an immense
quantity of Linens, Sheetings, Table Linens, Ste.' of which
the stock principally consists, the reduction in the Linen de-.
partment will be mush greater.

41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the amal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
chem.cal process, by which all that is:naseous in mixed metals is
entirely extracted—resist ng all acids, may be cleaned as Silver,
and i, manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board.

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; on its intrinsic merits
alone he wishes it to be tested. And from the daily increasing
eulogiurns he receives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent
its becoming an article of universul wear.
Foreign Orders promptly executed.

FUNERAL OF LUCAS AND ISIS MURDERED CHIL-
DREN. —Yesterday, at a few minutes past one o'clock, the
funeral of George Lucas, and his three children, took place.
The mournful procession consisted of four coffins, containing
the mortal remains of the deceased, which were carried to the
grave by bearers, followed by Mr. Lucas (brother of the de.
ceased), Messrs. Green, Coleman, and Harman (brothers-in-
law), and two gentlemen (private friends of the family). The
bodies were interred in the burial-ground of Saint Alphage
church, London-wall. The funeral service was read in a very
impressive manner by the Rev. James Smith, who appeared to
be deeply affected. During the whole time the reverend gen-
tleman was engaged in the awful ceremony, he shed tears ; as
was the case with nearly every person who was in the church.
The four coffins were lowered into one grave, sixteen feet
deep, on the east side of the ground. During the day, a great
number ef the City Police were in attendance, and rendered
essential service, by keeping back the erowd, &e. .
HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Lucia di Lammer-
moor was rehearsed on Wednesday evening, when the new
tenor, Guasco, surpassed the expectations of his most sanguine
admirers. The orchestra and chorus testified their approba-
bation by continued applause, a most unusual occurrence.
