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. Fine
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 teas by 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 6s. 9d. uer lb.,
being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when
the commonest teas, since June, have advanced ls. 9d. per lb.
HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will Ile 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 HOWQUA'S
SMALL LEAF GU N POWDER,in Chinese Catty Packages.
N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES PID.
DING" is upon every genuine package.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JuL: 9

There has been a good demand to-day, the sales 5000 bags, it
eluding 800 on speculation and 800 for export; the market steady.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JULY 7.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.)

The imports of Flour froth the United States and Canadas since
this day week have been to a fair extent; of Wheat and Malt
Coastways there has also been an increased supply, but of all kinds
of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, they have been very
small.

The weather has continued unseasonably cold and rainy all last
week, impeding Hay-making, and retarding the progress of the
crops of Grain, of which reports are not more favourable than we
stated in our last circular; in consequence of which, and of the
improvement in the Loudon and the other influential markets, we
have experienced a very steady demand for Wheat and Flour, free
and in bond, at a further advance of 2d to 4d per 701 b on the former,
and of 6d to yd per barrel on the latter ; there has also been a little
more demand for grinding Barley at about 2d advance, and for all
other articles in the trade at fully last quoted prices here and in all
our country markets.
The only alteration in the duties this week on Grain from Foreign
Ports is a decrease of Is Od per quarter on Beans and Peas ; the ex-
traordinary' fluctuations in the averages of Wheat in many towns
from week to week, from which our town is not free, baffle all an-
ticipations as to the time when any decline may occur in the duiy
on Wheat ; sales of Wheat in bond have been made to a fair extent,
and very considerable quantities of Flour in bond have changed
hands at fully the advance above noted; some few parcels of Oats
in bond haVe been sold for export at 3s 8d to 3s Od per 451 b.
At this day's market we had a very good attendance, and in con-
sequence of a continuance of rainy weather and the improvement
in the London market of yesterday, the advance noted above was
fully obtained here, and still further increase in prices having been
demanded by many importers and holders, the extent of business
which would otherwise have occurred was much checked, but sales
to a fair extent were effected.

EXECUTION OF COURVOISIER

(From the Sun of Monday Night.)
This morning at eight o'clock, Francois Benjamin Cour-
voisier, the murderer of his venerable master, Lord William

Russell, expiated his crime

as far as such crime as his can

be expiated in this world. Long before midnight last even-
ing groups of persons began to assemble in front of New-
gate, anxious to secure good places to witness the appalling
drama which was about to be enacted. These 'groups, as the
morning approached, became more and more numerous,
until at length they coalesced, and at 4 o'clock formed a dense
mass. of human beings, extending from St. Sepulchre's church
to the gates of the Old Bailey. Shortly after two o'clock the

workmen ernPioYed in the election of the gallows commenced
operations, and at half-past 4 had completed their horrid task.
Persons now began to flock in great numbers. At five
o'clock the street was crowded, and the windows of the
houses of the prison were all occupied. In one was seen
the fashionable exquisite with the opera-glass at his eye em-
ployed in attentively scrutinizing the preparations going on
for depriving a fellow-creature of his existence ; while at
. .

another a man of a lower grade, with tastes more vulgar,

perhaps, but most assuredly not one whit less coarse and
brutal, was whiling away the weary hours by having recourse
to the solace of a pipe and a pot. The roofs of the houses
were crowded with persons anxious to get a glance at the
last moments of the murderer, and even the chimneys were
made to afford an unsafe but eagerly converted resting-place
to the more adventurous of these cravens after excitement.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LONDON TIMES

Snt,—l observe in your journal of this morning a letter
signed, " W. Harrison Ainsworth," denying that Courvoisier
had asserted that the idea of murdering his master was first
suggested to him by a perusal of the romance of Jack Shep-
pard. I think it my duty to state distinctly, that Cour-
voisier did assert to me that " the idea of murdering his
master was first suggested to him by a perusal of the book
called Jack Sheppard, and that the said book was lent to
him by a valet of the Duke of Bedford."

treated with undue favour rather than another ; yet, feeling
the greater responsibility if I opposed any obstacle on my
part to the settlement of a question on which the welfare of
Canada depends, I shall move on Thursday next, in the form
of an amendment, the proposition which I have detailed as
proposed to me. The noble lord then concluded by moving
the postponement of the question to Thursday next.
In answer to a question from Mr. WARBURTON, as to what
part of the clergy reserves was to be sold,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, the sale of the whole is in-
tended to take place.
Sir ROBERT PEEL took the opportunity of declaring that
the opponents which he had on different occasions delivered
remained entirely unchanged; and he observed—" With re-
spect to clergy reserves, I hope this measure will be dis-
cussed in the same spirit as the union of the Canadas—and I
would appeal to that (the opposition) side of the house, if it
could be asserted in the propositions made to the noble lord,
and by him to the house, that the Church of England had
been governed by a rigid adherence to its own interests. I
think that the proposition made by the Archbishop of Can-
terbury, distinguished as well for his high station as for his
moderation—l think that the proposition does in itself come
recommended by justice as well as forbearance." The right
hon. baronet concluded by declaring, that it would be un-
fortunate, indeed, if this question should remain unsettled.
(Hear, hear.) It is one which the united legislature of the
Canadas would be first called upon to discuss, and it is to me
a source of the greatest satisfaction, that the noble lord ac-
quiesces in the proposal made by the Church of England. In
acceding to that proposal, I think the noble lord has acted
wisely, if he has a prospect of a settlement of this question ;
and 1 sincerely hope that this measure will be discussed in
the same spirit as the question of the union had been dis-
cussed, and I trust that the two measures will pass into a
law with the general concurrence of the house, and, by doing
so, be the foundation of a happy relation between this coun-
try and Canada. (Cheers.)

IRISH MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS BILL

In a committee on the Municipal Corporations (Ireland)
Bill, the postPoried'clauses were agreed to, with amendments.
On schedule* being proposed, Lord WYNFORD moved that
Dublin be omitted from schedule A.
The. Marquis of NORMANDY observed, that if their lord-
ships meant to show favour to the really most exclusive cor-
porate body in Ireland—if they meant to'show favour to gross
corporate delinquency—to flagrant mismanagement of corpo-
rate funds—they would undoubtedly agree to the motion of
the noble and learned lord; but he hoped they would show
the sincerity of their alleged desire to do justice to Ireland,
by rejecting the motion by a large majority.
A discussion ensued. '
The Duke of WELLINGTON said, he should vote against
the amendment of his noble friend, but he' hoped they would
be able to send back this bill to the House of Commons as
perfect as it could be made.
The Bishop of EXETER heard the conclusion at which the
noble duke had come with great regret. _ _

Mof The arquis ANSDOWNE went into a detail of the

abuses and corrupt jobbing of the corporation of Dublin. The
result of the whole of the evidence was, that the corporation
of the city of Dublin had incurred an enormous debt, and had
misapplied an enormous revenue, and had systematically
acted in violation of the principle of the act, which opened
the door of the corporations to persons of all religious per-

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY supported the amendment.
On a division, the amendment was negatived, and the clause
was retained by a majority of 82 to 35.
The house resumed, and the bill, as amended, was ordered
to be reported on Monday.—Their•lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OP COMMONS.—MONDAY.
The' SPEAKER took the chair shortly before four o'clock

WEAVER CHURCHES -DILL.
Sir P. EGERTON moved the resumption of the adjourned
debate on the third reading of the Weaver churches bill.
Mr. J. JERVIS thereupon moved the introduction of a
clause, the object of which was to introduce into the body
of the trustees (consisting of 105) ten practical men, to be
selected from those persons who paid 19 20ths of the tolls
that were raised. He could not imagine any reason against
the clause.

Mr. T. EGERTON resisted the clause. It was quite
irregular in a bill that had simply for its object the building
of new churches, to introduce clauses totally remodelling the
constitution of the trustees.

Mr. G. Wrminan AM supported the clause. He thought
the introduction of such men into the trust would be very

useful,

Mr. TFIORNELY also supported the clause,

Mr. CRESSWELL opposed the clause.
Mr. E. J. STANLEY supported the clause ; nothing, he
thought, could be more just than the proposition made by
this clause, to have additional and experienced men on the
trust.

The gallery was then cleared for a division. The numbers
were—

lIIIINEY SWEEPERS EILI

The Marquis of NOIMANDY, after presenting some peti-
tions in its favour, moved the second reading of the Chimney
Sweepers Bill. He thought the number of petitions pre-
sented on the subject showed that there was a great and ge-
neral feeling of sympathy excited respecting it ; but he pre-
ferred, instead of glowing appeals to their lordships' humanity,
to address them as practical men, and to show them the prac-
tical advantage that would result from this measure. He
thought the best evidence that could be adduced on this sub-
ject was that of the proprietors of insurance companies, who
were universally most urgent for the passing of this measure,
and, as he had been informed, had subscribed £lOO towards
its furtherance, The next evidence he would allude to was
that of the builders, as evidenced by the statement of Mr.
Cubitt, the head of their profession. The next evidence in
its favour Was, that it bad passed the other house of parlia-
ment without a dissentient voice, and without alteration.—

Hear, hear.) The noble marquis then stated several cases,
instancing the great cruelty which had been suffered by chil-
dren of very youthful years in various parts of the kingdom.
Under these circumstances he thought their lordships could
not hesitate to pass a bill which sought to remedy these
abuses. At the present period of the session, to refer this
bill to a select committee would be equivalent to its rejection.
He had no party wishes in urging this measure. He was
simply urging the cause of the helpless; and he did trust
their lordships would concur in passing this bill, and thus
relieve a portion of our fellow-creatures from a degrading and
cruel system, which robbed childhood and youth of its health
and buoyancy, and either consigned it to au early grave, or
to the evils and sufferings of a premature old age.—(Hear,
hear, hear.)
The.bill was read a second time, and, on the motion of the
Earl of HADDINCTON, by a majority of 91 to 77, referred to
a select committee, for the purpose of hearing parties.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY

Lord WHAENCLIFFE deferred, till Tuesday next, his mo-
tion for the report of the trial of a man named Jones, in Dub-
lin, for " ribandism."
The Duke of RICHMOND having presented petitions from
certain ministers of the church of Scotland, for legislative
protection, inquired what course it was intended to pursue
respecting the " Church Benefices (Scotland) Bill ?"
The Earl of ABERDEEN said that at the next sitting of
their lordships he should be prepared to state his intentions
regarding the bill.
Earl ST. VINCENT presented a very numerously signed pe-
tition from canal boatmen, complaining of the severe hard-
ship of being compelled to convey goods on Sundays.
Lord HA.THERTON inquired whether the Home Secretary
could not introduce a clause in the Canal Police Bill to re-
medy the evil ? _ _ _

The Marquis of NORMANDY stated that he should direct
his earnest attention to the subject ; but he doubted whether
the mode suggested would be the most adviseable in reference
to so delicate and important a question.
The LORD CHANCELLOR read Lord Auckland's letter, in
acknowledgment of the vote of thanks to his lordship.
The Chimney-sweepers' Bill was ordered to be referred to
a select committee.

Lord MELBOURNE moved that their lordships resolve into
committee on the Canada Government Bill.
The Earl of HARDwicKE proposed, by way of amendment,

that the committee be deferred till that day six months.
The amendment was pressed to a division. The numbers
were—For going into committee 107, Noes 10; being a ma-
jority in favour of Ministers of 97 !
The bill afterwards went into committee, soon after which
their lordships adjourned.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-07-10

,se underlock have continued to inert

ready moved into second hand_,
duties anticipated, holders in bond either require 1

prices, or refuse to sell until the event be more clearl
evident; when, if the run of demand be kept up in the inte

rim, our market will shortly need to be replenished from th
quantities that may be released ; as doubtless, from the let

J. 6.4
cold winds and frequent rains, harvest will necessarily be
protracted to a later period than was predicted in the early
part of June, although to-day the weather seems more

genial and promising,

After Tuesday's market, the demand, then stated, appeared
to subside ; the further rise in London, however, on Wed-
nesday, and unfavourable reports from many parts of the
kingdom respecting the crop of Wheat, occasioned a more
lively sensation here yesterday, when a few thousand barrels
of Flour changed hands, at an advance of ls. per barrel ;
and Wheat as well as Flour, both free and in bond, were
held with increasing firmness on higher terms.

At this day's market holders of Wheat commenced by
asking higher prices, and in the course of the morning par-
tial sales were made at an advance of ld. to 2d. per 701bs.
upon the improved rates of Tuesday ; but the day being fine,
and having few country buyers in attendance, the transac-
tions on the whole were upon a moderate scale only, and the
trade concluded at little if anything above the full prices last
noted.

Notwithstanding the foregoing remarks, Flour, duty paid,
sold less freely, and merely sustained our last quotations ;
but bonded parcels, of which we have few offering, main-
tained 295. per barrel.
Grinding Barley continued to meet a good demand, and
the middle qualities were 2d. per 601bs. dearer.

Malt, Beans, and Pease appeared to be in limited request
without the least change iu value.

Oats and Oatmeal, attended with rather more inquiry, the
latter for Irish account, and each may be considered the turn
dearer.
