TOWN COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

The usual monthly meeting of the Town Council was held
on Wednesday last, at eleven o'clock, a.m., in the Council
Chamber, Town-hall. The meeting was also a quarterly one,
for business proper to a quarterly Council.
From the report of the Finance Committee it appeared that
it having been deemed expedient that the North Battery
should he removed, and the land upon which it stands re-
covered by the Corporation, a communication on the subject
was made to the Board of Ordnance. The latter have of-
fered to restore the land to the Corporation, and to build a
new fort further north, on payment of £27,000 by the Cor-
poration, and together with a grant of land sufficient for the
new erection. With these terms the committee recommended
compliance. The report was confirmed.

PROPOSED NEW MARKET,

The report of the Market Committee, after setting forth
the over-flux of venders and buyers to St. John's Market,
recommended the building of a new market in the upper part
of the town, between Gill-street and Great Newton-street.
The report was approved. •
Mr. MASON recommended that Islington Market should
be roofed in.

THEATRE-ROYAL.

At the termination of the tragedy of " Virgininsi"k last
night, Mr. Vandenhoff was called for, and appeared before
the curtain. His engagement, with that of his daughter and
Mr. Anderson, increases in attraction. The revival of

" Ion" drew so well as to invite its repetition this evening.
In some scenes of this classic but undramatic tragedy, Mr.
Anderson appears to more advantage than Macready. The
critique prepared, agreeably to promise, on the performances
of the week, we are compelled to defer till Tuesday, when
the acting of • Mr. Andersmi, Misg Vandenboir, and of her
respected father, shall be commented on. • •

POSTAGE DUTIES BILL.

Viscount MELBOURNE moved the second reading of this
bill ; and; after stating the grounds on which the government
grounded their support of " this great experiment," the no-
ble lord said he relied with the most perfect confidence on
the pledge which had been given by parliament, that any de-
ficiency of revenue would be made up, because he was sure
that neither the country nor parliament would ever ask for
the adoption of any plan for which they were not prepared to
pay the price.
The Duke of WELLINGTON observed that it was a measure
that was most anxiously looked for by the country ' • but with
respect to which much and increasing doubt was beginning
to prevail. Still there was not a clause in the bill which
their lordships could either amend or vote upon, except in
the negative or affirmative, without infringing those conven-
tional rules which were observed between both houses of
parliament. On the other hand, supposing their lordships
were to reject the bill, the government, if supported by the
House of Commons, would, as he had before stated, have
complete power to destroy the whole of the post-office re-
venue, and to do all the evil which this bill could by. possi-
bility effect. At the same time, unless their lordships agreed
to the bill, that improvement in the post-office administra-
tion which they all desired to sec carried into execution could
not take place. Under these circumstances, he intended,
though with pain and reluctance, to vote for the bill ; and
he earnestly recommended their lordships to adopt it. After
some further discussion, the bill was read a second time, and
was ordered to be committed on Thursday.
The Ecclesiastical and Cathedral Preferments Bill, with
amendments, was read a third time and passed. The Juries
and Jurors (Ireland) Bill went through committee. The
Railway Constables Bill was read a second time. The Real
Estates Liability Extension Bill went through committee.
The Prisons Bill, with amendments, was read a third'time
and passed. The house adjourned at eleven o'clock.

SMUGGLING TOBACCO. - HEAVY PENALTY.

Archibald Carmichael stood charged by Mr. Brook, soli-
citor for the Customs, with having had on board the vessel
to which he belonged a quantity of foreign manufactured
tobacco, he knowing the same to be contraband. Mr. Dunn,
acting tide-surveyor, said that on the Ist of the present
month he went on board the ship Charles Humberston, in
the Waterloo dock basin, where be and his assistants found,
in a pair of canvas trowsers, 331bs. of foreign manufactured
tobacco. The prisoner was the second mate of the ship, and
confessed at the time that the tobacco was his, adding that
he had bought it for a very small sum at New Orleans.
Some other tobacco was also found in the bread-locker
in the cabin, but the prisoner was not charged with
having this. Mr. Davenport cross-examined this and the
other witnesses for the prisoner. William Palmer, a boat-
man, corroborated Mr. Dunn, as did Henry Baker, who
assisted when the tobacco was found. A piece of it
was produced, and it appeared to be much damaged.—
Mr. Davenport said his client did not deny having the
tobacco, which being damaged, he had bought, as he stated,
for a small sum, merely for the use of him and his ship-
mates. His having it in the dock was owing to a misappre-
hension of the law on his part, and he hoped the case was
one which would not be severely dealt with. Mr. Rushton
said that the law was clear on the subject, and left the ma-
gistrates no discretion, he was sorry to say, to mitigate the
heavy penalty. The care had been proved to the satisfaction
of the bench, and the prisoner must pay a fine of £lOO, or,

in default, be impri;oned for six Months. He howevei
hoped, that as the tobacco was evidently damaged, and of
little value, and as the prisoner, in all probability acted un-
der misapprehension, the commissioners would recommend
his case for the merciful consideration of the board. In this
he was joined by his brother magistrate. Mr. Brook (as we
understand) intimated that the wish of the magistrates
should be attended to.

STEALING FLOUR FROM A WAREHOUSE.

Patrick Cunningham, a warehouseman, stood charged with
taking a quantity of flour from a warehouse in the occupa-
tion of Messrs. Evans and Trokes, the property of Messrs.
Salisbury, Turner, and Earle. Mr. Kendal, clerk to Messrs.
Evans, stated that on Tuesday last the prisoner asked him
to allow him to take some dirty flour that was scattered
about the floor of the warehouse, for his pigs. There might
be 301bs. or 401bs. of it, and as it was of no other use, he said
he might take it. It appeared, however, that he did not
take the sweepings. Mr. Salisbury's warehouseman saw the
prisoner lower a bag into a dickey cart, from the warehouse,
and he found it to contain good flour, and stopped it. The
sweepings were left, and the heads of from 35 to 40 flour
barrels were found to have been knocked out. There were
three qualities of flour, and of these the respective quantities
of 751 b., 641 b., and 1251 b. were abstracted. Two barrels of
flour in the warehouse had previously been weighed, and
were found to be about 40 lbs. short each. The prisoner de-

A DESTITUTE BOY.

A poor boy, who had been found in the street without food
or shelter, was placed at the bar by Mr. Parkinson, with a
view to his obtaining the assistance of the magistrate. He
stated that his parents had died in Leeds, and that he had
found his way to Liverpool in hopes of getting to sea. He
had a sister in Dysert, in Scotland. He appeared to be a
fine intelligent boy, and was sent to the workhouse, where
(as Mr. Rushton stated) he would be taken care of until his
sister could be written to,—so that if she could not assist
him, something might be done to enable him to make a
livelihood.

YESTERDAY.

(Before Mr. RUSHTON and (occasionally) Mr. HonGsoN

ROBBERY FROM A DWELLING-HOUSE.
A young man, named John Watson, stood charged with
entering a house in St. Martin's-street, and abstracting
therefrom several articles of wearing apparel. Mrs. Sarah
Holgreaves stated, that, on coming down stairs on Tuesday
morning, soon after five o'clock, she found the drawers
broken open, and missed a shirt, a sheet, and some other
articles. Two youths, one of whom had known the prisoner
before, saw him about the same time going along St. Martin's-
street, with a bundle of clothes. The prisoner, who had been
remanded from the previous day, to give him an opportunity
of bringing up some witnesses, called Robert Smith, the
foreman at Mr. Jackson's, in Byrom-street, and two young
men from the same establishment, who stated that they saw
him that morning at about a quarter-past six. Mr. RUSH-
TON remarked that the testimony of these individuals was no
doubt true, but was perfectly consistent with the inculpatory
evidence. He then ordered the prisoner to the house of cor-
rection for a month, expressing a hope that by being leniently
dealt with, he would reform. If he were again brought there
for a similar offence, he (Mr. R.) would certainly commit
him for trial.

SCOURING DROPS.

The purpose of this useful article is for taking Grease Spots
out of Silks, Stuffs, fine Woollen Cloths, &c., without in-
juring the finest fabric or most delicate colour. The best
method of using the Scouring Drops is, to spread the Silk,
&c., on a table, with a clean napkin under it, and put a few
drops on a bit of new or very clean Flannel, and rub the spot
until it disappears; then with a clean napkin rub it till quite
dry. It leaves no more stain than a drop of water, which
hanging a few hours in the air, or a few days' wear, will take
away.—Price Is.

so that inquiry might be made whether they had gone else-
where with similar orders. Raworth, for want of evidence,
was discharged.

IMPROVED SODA POWDERS.

It has been observed, that the Soda Water, when kept in
jars, parts with its carbonic gas • that carriage of it to a dis-
tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense ;
and that from these inconveniences, its use has been confined
chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate these
objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and effica-
cious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered to the
public.—Sold in boxes at Is. 6d. each.

FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA.
In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro-
perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who,
from various causes, would experience great inconvenience,
or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the
Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses
the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate,
will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much
esteemed Medicine.

Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine-
glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to
half-a-pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed
by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Pharmacopoeias.
The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are
those of the Skin ; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive
Diseases, Secondary Symptoms, &c. arising from a diseased
state of the system at large. For removing Blotches, Pim-
ples &c. from the Face, this Medicine has no superior.
The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation
has led to numerous imitations, disguised by the name of
Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the
Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses
no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is
injurious to the digestive organs by causing acid fermentation.
Sold in bottles, at 4s. 6d., is. 6d., 10s., 155., and 21s. The
larger sized bottles are the cheapest.

DOUBLE MAIL TO DUBLIN.

We are now enabled to state, from authority, the arrange-
ment decided upon by the Admiralty, for the Daily Double
Mail communication between Liverpool and Dublin, viz.:
The Day Mail from London, on the 20th instant, will
reach Liverpool at seven p.m., the same day, and the City
of Dublin Steam Packet Company's mail packet is to carry
over the mails brought by it, leaving Liverpool for Kings-
town as soon after that hour as the mails can be put on
board.

The Night Mail leaving London on the 20th instant, will
reach Liverpool at half-past six a.m., on the 21st, and
the government packet on that day is to leave Liverpool for
Kingstown at seven a. m., or as soon after that hour as the
mails can be put on board.
The Morning Packet, which now leaves Holyhead at seven
a.m., is to cease on and after the 21st inst.
The Evening Packet, leaving Holyhead at Seven p.m.,
is to continue as at present.

BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.

Lord BROU GnAm made an elaborate complaint against the
ObsPrver newspaper for falsely describing his speech on Fri-
day last.
The Marquis of Londonderry thought that if the noble and
learned lord was not satisfied with the universal acclamation
with which he knew that his speech had been received by all
societies in this metropolis—if the encomiums which were
there pronounced upon it did not satisfy the vanity of the
noble and learned lord—he knew not what would. (Much
laughter.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY.
PENNY POSTAGE.
The Duke of RICHMOND, after presenting several petitions
in favour of a penny postage, said, it was his strong hope
and his recommendation to her Majesty's ministers, that, if
they determined to make a reduction in the postage, they
should do so according to Mr. R. Hill's plan, and not ac-
cording to the report of the committee of the House of Com-
mons, advising, a uniform charge of 2d a letter. He was
perfectly sure, that, unless they dealt out the privilege of
sending letters through the post-office with a very liberal
hand, they could not prevent the illegal conveyance of letters.
Many people appeared to think that all letters which went
through the postoffice would be subjected only to the charge
of a penny ; but on our colonial and foreign letters the foreign
postage must be paid, which it would be impossible to get
from the parties to whom the letters were addressed, if
charged according to the penny plan. He saw no reason why
the treasury should not purchase the stamps as well as other
persons, and then it would be known what the amount of the
money would come to in this day, and thereby the whole of
the abuse of official franks might be got rid of. He would
also throw out the propriety of allowing persons to purchase
any stamps to send their letters by any stage-coach, carrier,
Or steam-boat, that might choose to take them, because so
long as the revenue was secured parties ought to have their
own option as to the mode of conveyance.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-THURSDAY.

VAUGHAN V. FITZHUGH AND'IANOTHER.
This was an action to recover the sum of £896, advanced
by the plaintiff to the captain of a ship, the property of
Mr.-, deceased, whose executors the defendants were.
It was tried at the late Liverpool assizes, before Mr. Baron
Maule, when the jury found for the plaintiff for the sum
claimed.

Mr. CRESSWELL now moved for a rule nisi to reduce the
verdict to £2OO. The plaintiff was a merchant in Demerara,
whose brother chartered the vessel in question on his ac-
count for a voyage to Honduras and back. By the charter-
party the plaintiff was to advance to the captain to the extent
of £2OO. The ship met with a variety of accidents, and the
plaintiff had advanced the whole sum of £869. The question
was, was not the plaintiff bound by the charter-party, and
excluded from recovering more than the £2OO therein specified
At the trial the judge was of opinion that the charter-party
compelled him to advance the £2OO, but did not take from
the captain his power to raise a sum sufficient for the pur-
poses of the ship.
The COURT were of the same opinion, and refused the rule.
Mr. CRESSWELL would then move for an arrest of judg-
ment upon a misjoinder in the pleas.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER—FRIDAY EVENING.
The engagements have been so limited in amount and num-
ber, since our quotations on Tuesday, that we have simply to
state, that the leading favourites remain nearly in statu quo.
Some inquiry has been made after the " three brothers"—to
Margrave, to Dick, and to Heron ; 100 to 2 was offered
against any of them. 500 to 5 would have been accepted on
The son of Bustard. Lord G. Bentinck's Bonnet Rouge, by
Langar, and the Duke of Cleveland's colt out of Emigrant's
dam, have been b,acked at 100 to 2 each ; the acceptor refused
to take on, except at 200 to 3 ; afterwards, 1000 to 20 was
offered against each of them, with 1000 to 30 against Brother
to Melbourne—to take the three bets or none. Maroon
seems rather a better favourite ; 100 to 3 have been pencilled
down to-day. 500 to 20 was offered against St. Andrew yes-
terday, and 20 ponies to 1 against Brother to Euclid ; also 10
fifties to 1 against Lord Exeter's team of seven. On Tuesday
we unintentionally stated Fitzroy taken upon at 1000 to 23
that evening ; we ought to have written, to 25.

TATTERSALL'S—THURSDAY.
The room was very thinly attended, and the betting too
flat and unimportant even to permit a regular quotation. The
only bets we have heard were 1000 to 30 against Bokhara,
1200 to 800 on Wardan against Grey Milton, and 200 even
on Muley Ishmael against Launcelot, and the same on him
against Glenorchy (in one bet ;) 10 to 1 was offered against
Lord Jersey's lot (take 11 to 1,) 17 to 1 each against the An-
gelica colt, Launcelot, and Warden, and 25 to 1 against Grey
Milton.—On the Oaks, 3 to 1 was offered against Crucifix,
not p.p., and 4 to 1 against her, p p.

It is a singular circumstance, that among the candidates
for municipal honours at Cambridge, last week, there were
no less than six brewers.

A grand masonic festival, by the freemasons of Durham
and Northumberland, will be given to the Duke of Sussex
during his stay at Lambton Castle.
ACCIDENT AT SEA.—The people of the Duchess of Lan-
caster steamer had the satisfaction of rescuing a fellow crea-
ture from drowning during one of the voyages of the vessel
hence to Liverpool. It appears that a pilot or fishing boat
had capsised in a squall, but righted again. One of the two
men on board sunk, but the other contrived to regain the
boat, and held 6n till the Duchess came up.—Lancaster Ga-
zette.

FINES FOR DRUNKENNESS.

- _
Yesterday, no fewer than one hundred and sixteen persons
were fined at the police-court, in sums of 5s or 2s 6d,
according to the circumstances of the case, or in default im-
prisoned for three or two days,—being drunk and disorderly,
or krunk and helpless in the streeis. This would argue that
the cause of temperance, which is said to be doing wonders in
some parts of Ireland, has not latterly been so successful as
it was for some time in this town.

GRAND .JUNCTION RAILWAY : DANGEROUS ACCIDENT.
—On Saturday evening, about half-past six o'clock, as the
first-class train, which leaves Birmingham at five o'clock,
was proceeding with considerable velocity, at about seven
miles this side Stafford, it came in contact with an engine and
tender that had been left on the rails. There had been no
signal given by the police at their several stations previously,
and the night was so dark that the first intimation was a vio-
lent concussion, which broke the engine and tender to pieces.
Several of the passengers were severely, but not dangerously,
hurt. As the company, in their recently amended act, deemed
it requisite to apply for several remedies against any person
that might place or leave any obstruction on the line of rails,
we should hope they put them in operation in this case,
against their own servants and labourers, of whom there were
eight or ten standing close to the engine, at the time of the
collision, without exhibiting any light or any other signal,

PIRACY ! CAUTION ! 1

Captain Pidding made eight voyages to China •, in securing
the exclusive importation of these Teas, and if purchasers
will notice his signature, they will avoid counterfeits.
In an action brought by Captain Pidding, against a person
who counterfeited his packages, it was proved, before the
Vice-Chancellor, on the affidavit of Yr. Styan, a broker of 27
years' experience, employed to test these Teas,
" That Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE' is a Tea
of a peculiar flavour, and composed of many varieties of
black teas, all of the finest quality ; that it has a character
peculiar to itself—A FINE NATURAL AROMA. And
"That HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER' is Gun-
powder Tea of the very finest quality, and that such Tea
could not be bought in the market."
f "Sworn at the Public Office, Chancery-lane,
"W. St) an." this Bth day of May, 1837, before me,
" Filed Bth of May, 1837." " N. W. SENIOR."
It was also proved on oath, that Captain Pidding's Teas
were supplied for the Royal use.

Dr. folinson. late Physician to Geo. IV., considers this
the best of Teas, and uses no other. As Author of " The
Economy of Health," &c., his testimony is invaluable, he
writes thus :

Suffolk-place, London, Nov. 22, 1837.
" Six,—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." " JAmus JOHNSON, M.D."
Dr. Sigmond, M.D., F.L.S. in a lecture on tea, lately
delivered before the Medico-Botanical Society, stated, " That
since the opening of the trade, new varieties of Tea 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 much and very deservedly
prized, and Captain Pidding's Howqua's Mixture' has now
become _

" THE STANDARD TEA IN THIS COUNTRY.' "

The term " standard" comprehends every good quality.
These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's " HOWQUA'S
MIXTURE" (Black Tea) at 6s. per lb., is Bs. the Catty Pack-
age. " HowQuA's SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER," at Bs. %
per lb., is lls. 6d. the Catty Package. Each Package con-
tains 11b. and one-third nett of Tea.
