I The Public is not called upon to decide whether Chicory is better than Coffee , nor whether it is an improvement to Coffee , but simply whether it is to be sold as Coffee , and at the price of Coffee . What is being sold to the Public as ground Coffee , at prices ranging from Is . to Is . &d . per pound , is , as the Lancet has proved , a compound consisting , in most cases , of more than half Chicory . Fair dealing dictates that « very article should be sold for what it is , at its own proper price . But in the case of Chicory , the consumer is made to pay six times the value of the article , because it is sold under a false name . THE CENTRAL CO-OPERATIVE AGENCY has been established to counteract this and similar frauds ; every articlo will be sold under its own proper denomination , at a fair price . It guarantees to supply Pure Chicory at 3 d . per pound ; Good Coffee , Is . ; Fine Coffee , Is . 4 d . ; and the best Mocha , Is . 8 d . per pound . They can be had either in the berry or ground , and if ground it is guaranteed free from any mixture whatever . Persons who have been buying ground Coffee are recommended to try half a pound of Chicory for lid ., and half a pound ot either of the above Coffees . By thus buying the two articles separately and mixing for themselves , they will effect a saving of 4 * d . per pound on the Is . ; 64 d . on the Is . 4 d . ; and 8 id . on the Is . 8 d . ; and obtain a superior article .

Charles Kean plays the two brothers ; and you must see him before you w £ 1 believe howVeil and how quietly he plays them ; preser vmg agejatlemlnly demeanour , a drawing-room manner very difficult tcrassume on th ? sS if one may judge from its rarity , which intensifies the passion of theparand gir / slttfrrible reality , frothing can be better tWthe way he steps forward to defend the insulted Ionian at that supper ; nothing can be more . impressire than his appearance in . thethird act as the aveneer of Ms brother . The duel between him . and Wigan was a . masterpiece on both sides : the Bois de Boulogne itself has scarcely seen a duel more real or more exciting . Kean ' s dogged , quiet , terrible walk after Wigan , with the fragment of broken sword in his relentless grasp , I shall not forget . Nor can I forget Wigan ' s performance . In " makeup , " in demeanour , in look , in tone , he was perfect—the type of a French duellist . ODDS AND ENDS . At the Olympic a new piece has been produced , called The Advocate and his Daughter , of which I will tell you next week ; Drury-Lane has produced a new ballet , called The Star of the Rhine , which I will go and see when the house is warmed by something more effective than cold air , and seven men in the stalls . - ' Miss Woolgar returned on Monday to the Adelphi , and was as fascinating as ever in Paul Pry . M . Biletta is
about to produce a comic opera-at the Haymarket : and here ends m budget . ^ A correspondent writes to know my reason for reading «* Nemean lion " Nemean P As I am never ashamed to own myself in error , I inform him that my reason was an erroneous one . _ Usually it is written Nemsean and this it was which misled me , as it has misled many dictionary ' ' makers . Virgil ' s authority , however , cited by my correspondent , settles ' the matter : — „ , , "Tu Cressia mactas Prodigia , et vastum -Nemese sub rape leonem . " A German correspondent has taken my badinage of Gervimis ' s phrase " a tragedy of the purest water , " as if I seriously misunderstood its meaning . ¦ The meaning was plain , but the metaphor was infelicitous , and lent itself to a jest . Every one knew what Castlereagh meant when he said " The feature on which this question hinges , " but few admired its felicity so also when that M . P ., who deserves to be immortal for it , said , "j " smell a rat , it ' s brewing a storm ,- but I will crush it in the bud ! " the convulsed House had no doubt respecting his meaning , whatever tliey thought of his rhetoric . In like manner , although I admit a diamond of the purest water , I do not admit a tragedy of that quality . It reminds me too forcibly of Goethe ' s sarcasm , that modern poets put too much water in their ink 1 Vivian .

Important Copyright Decision . —Mr . Craig applied to Vice-Chancellor Parker on behalf of his client , Mr . Bogue , the publisher , on Monday week , for an injunction to restrain Messrs . Houlston and Stoneman from publishing a book , entitled , "A Story-Book for Young People , by Aunt Mary ; the Comical History and Tragical End of Reynard the Fox , "—or any other work copied , or col ourably altered , from any part of a book published by Mr . Bogue , entitled , " The Comical Creatures from Wurtemberg , including the Story of Reynard the Fox . " The mere story of Reynard the Fox was
acknowledged to be an old one , and no copyright was claimed for it , but although Mr . Bogue ' s illustrations were taken from the stuffed figures of animals exhibited in the Crystal Palace in 1851 , and which of course might have been copied by any one , his counsel contended that in Mr . Houlston ' s book both the illustrations , and the letterpress at the" foot of each figure explaining its name , were manifestly imitated from Mr . Bogue ' s book . The similarity in detail was much too great for accident . The weasel in Mr . Houlston ' s book was represented as a sharp lawyer ; so he was in the original work published by Bogue : the weasel ' s interview with old Martin , the fox , was described
in precisely the same manner in both books . The same was the case with regard to the visit of the " bantam" to old Martin ; and the plagiarism was still more glaring in the story of " the frogs who would a-wooing go . " But the most conclusive piece of evidence as to Mr . Bogue ' s illustrations having been copied was that in one of the groups from the stuffed figures a shaving box was introduced , which was not in the original exhibition—but the
same addition was found in Mr . Houlston s illustration . On Monday last the Vice-CliancelSor gave his judgment , and said he had come to the conclusion that Houlston and Stoneman had copied their designs , as well as the names affixed to them , from Mr . Bogue ' s book . He therefore gave the defendants time to consider whether they would submit to an injunction absolutely , or whether they would prefer an action being brought against them by Mr . Bogue .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE , Fiuday Morning , Feb . 27 . Upon the Funds , usually so sensitive at periods of political crisis , the effect of the recent change of Ministry lias been singularly unimportant . Consols , on Monday , opened at 97 to 97 £ ; and , with limited business , and little fluctuation during the week , closed at the same prices yesterday . Bank Stock has improved , and ia quoted 218 } to 21 i ) . Exchequer Bills have been steady at 00 s . to 03 s . prem . In our remarks last week upon the securities , an error of the press passed unnoticed , and wo wore made to Bay that the actual rate of interest was 2 i < l . per day , instead of 14 d ., and that the anticipated reduction was to 1 4 * 1 ., instead of l ] d . per day .
portant , and the market wears an unsettled appearance , from apprehensions entertained that some alteration in the Sugar Duties is contemplated .
Foreign Securities , with little business , have been very steady . Tho transactions yesterday , according to the official lists were . —Five per Cent .
