It was also proved on oath, that Captain Piddiug's Tea.
were supplied for the Royal Use.
Dr. Johnson, late physician to Geo. IV. considers this the
best of Teas, and uses no other. As Author of " The Eco-
nomy of Health," &c., his testimony is invaluable: he writes
thus:— " Nov. 22, 1837.
" Stn,—Ever since your • Howqua's Mixture' Tea was
first introduced, myself and family have used it, indeed only
it, and we have no hesitation in giving it the preference to
all others. " Yours, &c.
" To Capt. Pidding." " JAMES JOHNSON, M.D.
Its superior excellence is further proved, by G. Signiond,
M.D., F.L.S., &c., who, in a lecture on tea, delivered on
the 14th of November, before the Medico-Botanical Society,
stated—" The Hong Merchants used not generally to deliver
for exportation their finest sorts of teas. It was proved by
the fact that since the openir;; of the trade new varieties
had been brought to England, and, in particular, a tea under
the name of the richest and the most esteemed of the Hong
Merchants, which had been very rau,•h and very deservedly
prized, and the' Howqiia's Mixture' has now become
"A STANDARD TEA IN THIS COUNTP.Y.”
It is impossible to furnish more conclusive proof of its en-
periority. The term "standard" comprehends every good
quality.
These Teas consist of " HowQua's MIXTURE ' (black
tea), at 6s. per lb., or Bs. the catty package. "IIOWQDA'a
SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER." at Bs. 71d. per lb., is 115. 6d.
the catty package. Each package contains 1 lb. and one-
third nett of tea.
CAUTION I—The names of C. VER REY, 218, Regent-street,
and T. Lartntotire, 77, King William-street, City, Sole
Agents for London, are upon every genuine catty. AU
others are spurious.

10 OBINSON'S PATENT BARLEY, and PATENT
EL GROATS, recommended by the Faculty, patronized
by the Queen and Royal Family.
The attention of Mothers, (especially during the period of
nursing,) Invalids, and Families, is particularly called to the
above Patent Articles, being the purest Farina of the Oat
and Barley ever produced,- deprived of their feratentative
properties by a steam process.
ROBINSON'S PATENT BARLEY cannot be equalled
by any article for making pure Barley Water in a few
minutes; all impurities being rejected, it ;s rendered more
palatable than Barley Water made with Pearl Barley. It is
an excellent adju'uct with milk for the breakfast table, highly
useful for culinary purposes, light suppers, making delicious
puddings, thickening soups, also with the addition of lemon
juice and sweetened, forms a most grateful beverage.
ROBINSON'S PATENT GROATS. are universally
esteemed for making a delicate Gruel; and both the Groat-e
and Barley are a nutritious food for Children, and those
suffering under difficult digestion.
CAUTION.—The Patentees, having received a Special
Warrant of Appointment as Purveyors to her Majesty, con-
sider it a duty they owe to themselves and the Public, to put
them on their guard against imitation, and respectfully to
point out, that on each Genuine Parket are placed, in addition
to the Royal Arms, the words " By Rolm/ f.,,tte., prifence

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE

TATTERSALL'S—MONDAY.
Another dull afternoon, with but little in the way of
change; bad, however, as business undoubtedly was two
or three movements (the last of the year) require to be ne-
ticed. The Dey of Algiers sprung to 22 to 1, takers,
__ nor
could any one be prevailed upon to offer more than 25 to
against Epidaurus. Tontine also advanced several points.
Amongst the principal favourites the fluctuations are trifling;
Bay Middleton is still out of favour, but Ilderico. and Flam-
beau maintain their positions, and are in force. 'fro* is oa
the decline, and nothing said about any other of the 25 to 1
division. The followin were the closing prices:
g
13 to 1 against Lord Jersey's Brother to Bay Middleton (t)
16 to 1 „ Lord Jersey's Ilderim. (t and aft. off.)

SPORTING EXTRAORDINARY.
We have lead and heard of many a brilliant chace by wood
and plain, of hare and fox, and deer,—to say nothing of bears,
and boars, and tigers, and other outlandish and uncivil quad-
rupeds; but any thing more gallant and persevering,—en}
thing more thoroughly " varment" than a bunt which took
place in this district very recently (and south to say, 'twas
Sunday last,) is not to be found recorded in the pages of N im-
rod, or treasured in the recollections of the frequenters of
Melton, though it might lack something of the usual pomp
and circumstance of the chase. It happened thus : —There
is, in the township of Birtle-cum-Bamford, near Bury, a lad
about 13 years of age, who, from his parents, with the assist-
ance of his godfathers and godmothers, derived the name of
Edward Allen, but who, in that neighbourhood, is rather bet-
ter known by the shorter if not more euphonous designation
of " Shep" ; alad who has lost one arm, and who is one of thosis
strange beings that can seldom be thoroughly broken in to the
ordinary trammels and pursuits of human life, hitt who pea,
sesses, as our readers will find in the sequel, a most uncon-
querable love of field sports. Oa Sunday morning last, Shep,
accompanied by a favourite hound called "Glory," belonging
to Mr. Allanson, of Kershaw Bridge, had wandered into the
woods in Birtle, to wile away the time, and dissipate the ennui
which the Sabbath too often brings to beings of his class;
and, after rambling about for some time, he, to his infinite
satisfaction, started a hare, which, of course, went of at score,
and was, equally of course, followed at score by Glory and by
Shep, screeching and hollooing at the very top of his voice.
The woods were vet y soon cleared, and the trib made their
way into the open fields in Birtle, where Shep, although he
could set up a capital pair of heels, found that he was falling
behind, and that he was likely to be very soon run out of sight.
in this predicament, the chace happened to lead him 'across
a field adjoining Mr. Allanson's size works, where an old
mare that had been condemned as past service, and fit only to
minister to the wants of the size makers, was quietly nibbling
the little grass which the field afforded, and waiting until the
time arrived when she was destined to shuffle uff her " mortal
coil." Shep saw her, and (as he had notime for deliberation)
at once decided upon his course. Ile sprung like lightning
upon her back, and, by the aid of a cudgel which he hi
picked up during his rambles in the wood, very soon panne-
ded her to adopt a progressive motion, much more rad than
might have been expected from her appearance. Without
saddle or bridle, Shep guided, as well as incited, his steed by
blows from his cudgel; and the gallant chace, Puss and Glory.
Shep and the old mare, swept like wildfire up Red Bank, and
across the fields over or through hedge and ditch, and brake
and briar, towards the foot of Harding, where Puss turned
short, and set for Kershaw Bridge, closely followed by Glory
and by Shep, who, hatless and shoeless as when he was born,
with his clothes in tittle's. and his hair streaming. about his
ears, urged on the chace, shouting and yelling like a.beiak of
another world. In this array he suddenly appeared before
the rood people on their way to the quiet and retired chapel
of Ashworth;' and what with the bare and bony carcass of the
mare, and the wild and unearthly appearance of the rider,
the chace bore no very distant resemblance to the spectre hunt
in Der Freischutz. 'Whether it was from the recollection of
ancient exploits, or from the persuasive eloquence of Shep.e.
cudgel, it is not easy to say; but certainly, from some cause
or other, the old mare behaved nobly, and kept Well up with
Glory, who, on his part, gave the hare but little room of van-
tage. Puss made straight for the bottoms at Kershaw Bridge,
Glory close behind her, and came to the lane a little below
Hood Barn, where there is a descent of some six feet perpen-
dicular from the field into the road, which would have checked
the ardour of many a Meltonian ; but it did not check the
career of Shep, who, with a blow and a shout, plunged into
the lane, and in an instant was seen scrambling up the bank
on the other side, and again making his appearance in the
open field. At length, on arriving at Kershaw Bottoms, af.
ter a chace of about twenty minutes, Glory fairly ran into the
game, and Shep, who was "well in," leaped from his steed,
and seized the hare, which he bore off in triumph to Mr.Allan-
' son; leaving the mare, the companion of his toils and his tri-
umph, to find her way to the size-works as best she might.
' Whether Shep has since had to make his appearance before
some one or more of her majesty's justices assigned to keep
' the peace in the county palatine of Lancaster, we have not
• heard; but if any charge has been made against him, it would
certainly not be from any true sportsmen that the complaint
, would conle....Mcsnehetter Gaartan...
