The last accounts from China are considered to be unfavour-
able for a continuation of the present price of Tea, upon .he
supposition that large supplies will be able to be drawn from
Canton. That such will be the case during the present season
is highly probable ; the necessities of the Chinese themselves,
and the anxiety to get rid of the quantity which is most likely
to be there, will induce shipments at almost any sacrifice.

lower. This applies, as heretofore, more particularly to the

The writ for the election may, and very likely will, be
issued soon, so there is little time for delay ; and, as all our

probability is, that should you refuse to come forward,
that tho representation of the, burghs:may pass into the

such a crisis the community will not step forward, and
secure for themselves a representative according to their
wishes • but after the explanations now given, I trust
you will lose not a moment in taking the necessary steps
to secure the seat. Let no delicacy of feeling prevent
you throwing yourself in the breach, when you know
that you have only publicly to express your wish, and
you are again the representative of the Angus burghs.
The Committee will look for your address by return
of post, also an intimation when you will be here in per-
son ; meanwhile, they will use every exertion, both here
and in the other burghs, in your behalf. Nothing on
their part will be left undone to secure your return.

Henry Carter, the assistant 'pave-digger at St. Luke's, Chelsea,
who had been repeatedly examined at Queen-square, on a charge
of stealing the bandies and plates off coffins, was fully committed
for trial.

land, but being accused of corruption in office, he was fined and
dismissed. The remainder of his life was passed in study, and his
" Novuna Organum Scientiarum " alone has earned for him a
deathless name.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE MON
TROSE DISTRICT OF BURGHS,

GENTLEMEN,—The flattering requisition I have re-
ceived from the Burghs of Forfar and Inverbervie, to-
gether with the resolution from the-electors of Montrose,
and intimations from various friends in the Burghs
that they believe my personal appearance is alone re-
quisite to ensure my being preferred as the representa-
tive to succeed Mr. Chalmers, induces me now to
offer you publicly my services, on the conditions stated
in my first letter to the Provost of Forfar, and to inform
you, that in order to ascertain the true state of feeling
in the Burghs, I intend to present myself immediately to
the electors, and to declare myself a candidate for their
suffrages, should I meet with the favourable reception I
am led to anticipate.
I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient humb!e servant,

JOHN BOATH, Jun.

TO JOHN BOATH, JUN., ESQ., FORFAR.
. London, April 9, 1842.
Dear Sir,—After the flattering assurances and urgent
solicitations contained in your letter on behalf o; my
Election Committee in Forfar, or the 7thlnst., it m ert
manifest a want of respect for the electors- of Forf,r
and an indifference to the honour they have done
iLe in requesting me to offer myself a candidate at the
ensuing election, were I any longer to hold b: ck from
declaring myself willing to undertake the duties of
Representative for the Montrose district of Burghs.
On the faith, therefore, of your assurances, and in
the belief that an address to the electors of each burgh,
together with my personal appearance on the spot, are
all that is necessary- to ensure me the suffrages
of my ancient constituents, I have waived my
former objections, and dispatch, as you suggest, an ad-
dress, to the electors by this post, and further intend to
leave London to-night, and to make my inrimediti.te ap-
pearance among them.
At the same time, I still so far adhere to my first de
claration, that if, after due inquiries on the spot, I should
find that my' kind well-wishers have over-rated the pro-
spect of success, I shall have no scruple in withdrawing
myself from the trouble and expense of a doubtful
election.

With renewed thanks for your zeal and personal ex-
ertions--I remain,:clear Sir, your obedient, humble servant,
(Signed) JOSEPH HUME.

The Corn-keeping-out Bill was yesterday carried up to the
Lords, and read a first time. It is not to be read a second time
sooner than next Friday. Their Lordships transacted no business
of importance.

Monday.

Mr. S. Crawford gave notice that on April 21st he would cal
.the attention of the House to the petitions for extending the suf-

In reply to Mr. Escott, Sir Robert Peel said the informatiod
which the Government possessed concerning the melancholy cir•
cumstance iu Affghanistan was not later than tlit possessed by the
publ:c, chiefly derived from private sources.
Colonel Fox called the attention of Sir James Graham to a pesti-
lential burial.place called Enon Chapel, but Sir James could not in-
terfere with it.

The House then proceeded to the Report on the income tax
resolutions, and was occupied with that subject the remainder of
the evening.
