AT a numerous and highly-respectable MEETING of
CONSERVATIVES, held at the AMPHITHEATRE, on
WEDNESDAY, the 13th instant,

SIR THOMAS BRANCKER having taken the Chair
on the motion of Jour; BouRNE, Esq., seconded by Dux-
CAN GIBE, Esq., the following Resolutions were agreed to
On the motion of JAMES ASPINALL, Esq., seconded by
NICHOLAS ROBINSON, ESQ.,
It was Resolved, —That this meeting, in common with all
true friends of Ireland, deplores the existing system for re-
gistering electors in that country, and is fully persuaded of
its lamentable tendency to promote deception, fraud, and
the most appalling perjury; that, by reason thereof, many
persons not entitled to exercise the elective franchise retain
it by means the most disgraceful, and that the mischievous
consequences of such a system require the immediate remedy
of an act of parliament.

On the motion of the Rev. HUGH WNEILE, seconded by
WILLIAM SHAND, Esq.,
It was Resolved,—That this meeting has observed with
much satisfaction the introduction into the House of Com-
mons, by Lord Stanley, of a Bill, entitled " A Bill to amend
the laws relating to the Registration of Voters in Ireland ;"
and that this meeting, upon a careful consideration of the
wise provisions of that bill, considers it in many respects
calculated to remedy the evils in the registration system of
Ireland.

On the motion of THOMAS BERRY HORSFALL, Esq.,
seconded by JOHN SHEPPARD, Esq.,
It was Resolved,—That this meeting has the fullest confi-
dence in the ability and firmness of Lord Stanley, and in his
lordship's long experience in Irish affairs, and on his inti-
mate knowledge of the true interests of Ireland as an Irish
landlord, and entertains the most sanguine expectation that
his lordship will triumphantly carry so wise and beneficial a
measure ; and this meeting earnestly call upon this town and
the country at large to contribute their best support and
encouragement to his lordship in this undertaking.
On the motion of CHARLES LAWRENCE, Esq., seconded by
GEORGE GRANT, Esq.,

It was Resolved,—That a Petition from this town to the
House of Commons, praying that honourable house to go
into committee on the bill and to pass it without delay, be
forthwith presented, and that the Petition now read be
adopted. _ _ _

On the motion Of ROBERTSON GLADSTONE, ESCI., seconded

by CHARLES STEWART PARKER, Esq.,
It was Resolved,--That the Petition be forwarded to the
Members for the Borough for presentation, and that a copy
of the resolutions passed at this meeting be forwarded to
Lord Sandon, to Cresswell Cresswell, Esq., and to Lord
Stanley. THOMAS BRANCKER, Chairman.
The Chairman having left the Chair,
It was moved by JOHN B. LLOYD, Esq., seconded by JAMES
PROCTER, Esq.,
That the cordial thanks of this meeting be given to the
Chairman, Sir Thomas Brancker, for his able and impartial
conduct in the Chair.

NEWC DISCOVERY INApril

MONSIEUR MALLAN, SURGEON-DENTIST, of the

hill, London, begs to inform his Patients and the Inhabitants

dence guarantee them to answer every purpose of Mastica-
tion and Articulation, and defy detection by the closest ob-
server. They never change colour or break, as those now

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS.
THE accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli-
gence of the English having been totally expelled from
China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between
Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in
person, and Chinese men of war; in other words, China is
at war with England. And the questions upon which the
two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust..
ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro-
bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a
very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of
that article has taken place. Since June last, common black
teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Pine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per
lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo-
ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be
sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise,
however, having caused a run upon his teasby the trade, who
found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than
they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to
raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased
by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How-
QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of Gs. 9d. per lb.,
being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when
the commonest teas, since June have advanced is. 9d. per lb.
HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the
present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea,
is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter
catties in like proportions.
Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that
his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no
probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the
least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable
tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period,
there is. little doubt but tea will advance daily.
These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S
MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas and lIOWQCA'S
SMALL LEAF GUN POWDER,in Chinese Catty Packages.i
N.B.—The signature of " Captain Jour; RHODES Pn -
DING" is upon every genuine package.
