EXTRAORDINARY ECONOMY TO TEA DRINKERS . THE DESIRE OF ENGLAND . —The PIQUA PLANT , now sold at 3 s . Gd . per lb ., is three times tho strength of tea , and is also equal in flavour , more delicate in taste , nfinitely more healthy , as is proved by physicians and chemists of high standing , also by persons in great numbers with the most delicate lungs and stomachs . It is most pleasant and invigorating , and is recommended to the debilitated for its invaluable qualities , to advanced age for its strengthening properties , and to the public generally for its moderate price and intrinsic excellence . The Test . —The proof of the efficacy and . healthful effect of the plant in preference to tea or coffee : —Let a nervous or dyspeptic patient use two or three cups of strong tea upon retiring to rest , and the effect will be night-mare , disturbed sleep , and other violent symptoms of indigestions , die . The Proof . —Let the most debilitated , dyspeptie , asthmatic , consumptive , and . nervous patients use two , three , or more cups of a very strong infusion of the Piqua Plant , and in the morning they will awake refreshed with their repose . It is highly recommended by physicians to invalids and children as a most invigorating and pleasant beverage . The following are reasons why the Piqua Plant is superior to tea , viz .: — 1 st . Because it is beneficial to health . 2 nd . It does not injure the nerves . 3 rd . Children may use it with advantage to health . 4 th . It does not prevent sleep . 5 th . A quarter of a pound will go as far as three q \ iartevs of a pound of the best gunpowder tea . 6 th . It is strengthening and nutritious . 7 th . It is recommended by physicians , and tea is disapproved of by them . It greatly improves the voice ; it is recommended to singers and public speakers . TESTIMONIALS . SO , Edgeware-road , July 1 st , 1843 , Sir , —The beverage under the name of Piqua Plant I have drank for some time . It was first recommended to my notice as a salutary beverage by a friend , who is a great dyspeptic , and I have since recommended it to several patients suffering from chronic affections of the digestive organs , heartj and lungs , with manifest advantage . —I am , sir , yours , die . To Mr . Win . Evans . John Bbtant , M . D . 18 , Louther-street , Whitehaven . . Sir , —I am nearly out of the plant again . My sale has doubled since I sent the last order ; indeed , it is fast finding its way among some of the best families in the town , and is highly approved of . Please send me SOlbs . immediately . —Yours , very respectfully , . To Mr . Wm . Evans . J , Boostead . Dover-road , Southwark , Sir , —I am much pleased with your Piqua Plant ; and find that a portion of it mixed in the tea-pot with tea , is a very great improvement to any tea , particularly green tea . —Yours , &c , To Mr . Wm . Evans . 6 . B . Belvidere-place , Borough-road , July 17 th , 1843 . Sir , — -I have great pleasure , and indeed I consider it an mperative duty , injustice to you , and for the benefit of others , to bear testimony to the excellent qualities of the Piqua Plant . It has wholly re moved a constant painful nervous debility with which I was affectedj which produeed restless nights , and consequently overpowering langour during the day . Since the use of the infusion , the disease has entirely disappeared . I sleep soundly often for six , seven , and eight hours together , and am better in health than I have been for many years ; and others , to whom I have recommended it , have experienced the same beneficial results . You are at liberty to use this testimonial , which I am ready to confirm in person any day you think proper . —I am , sir , your obedient servant , To Mr . Wm . Evans . - G . Tahoubduj . Numerous testimonials from physician ? , and others , of undoubted authority , may be seen at Evans ' s depot . The plant is patronised by many of the first families in the land . The economy derived from the use of the Piqua Plant , compared with tea , is as follows : —lib . of the plant will go as far as lib . of tea . .

tively stand responsible , then indifference , , culpable , silence would be criminal . The consideration as to how far our rulers step beyond the almost boundless limits which the principle of centralisation has assigned to constitutional action and ministerial irresponsibility , is one of paramount importance . We have never so much complained of the constitution of England asoftiie violation of thatconstitutibn by those whose duty it is to preserve it in the state in which it was committed to their charge , and to .. hand if down nnriolated and uucontam inated to their
successors . ; ... " ¦ .. Having heretofore abstained from further criticism upon the electioneering tactics of the respective political parties , ' further than the mere chronicling of them , we' must in the outset make- the reader thoroughly acquainted with the subject to which we attach so much importance . The facts are briefly these . Mr . Walter , - who professes Tory principles , but whose policy , especially as regards the interest of the poor of Eng land in their condition , their enjoy-, ments , and their rights , is diametrically opposed to the
policy of the Prime Minister . Mr . Walter , from his connection with , and control over , the most powerful newspaper in the known Iwoi'Id , lias , above most other men , the opportunity , as well as the will , of perp lexing the Government by an exposure of its policy . The Poor Law , in its amended state , has become the basis of the constitution , and centralisation the principle of the present Prime Minister . To this constitution , as well as to this principle , Mr . Walter ^ has , presented a more continuous , more bold , and more successful opposition than any other man of his class in England . ¦
Now , considering our hostility towards Mr . vvaltkr of a personal and a public character , these arc galling confessions to make ; but when public duty stands in the way , we fling all personal considerations to the wind . Under the circumstances that we have stated , then , a vacancy occurring in thereprer gentation of Windsor Castle , as we must now designate tho borough , Mr . Walter , a professing Tory , offered bjina ( 3 lTaa . a" candidate . ' Col . Reid , Colonel of one of her Majesty ' s regiments of Life Guards , and stationed at Windsor , was Mr . Walter's opponent .
Col . Reid is also a Tory , and a conundrum which we shall endeavour presently to solve , presents itself in this fact , that both candidates were Tories ; the Queen is supposed to be a Tory ; the Prime Minister was supposed to be a Tory ; and yet the history of electioneeiing presents no parallel of equal Governmeat intrigue to that practised at the late Windso r election , in favour of the least eligible of the two Tories . Considerable agitation preceded the day of nomination , and , throughout , the Government prints were loud in denunciation of all who dared to hint at
such a thing as courtly influence or ministerial interferenoe . ' No doubt Sir Robert Pekl would have preferred the defeat of Mr . Walter without ministerial or courtly aid ; but apart from those powerful , but unconstitutional auxiliaries , he saw no chance of suo cess for Colonel Reid . Under these circumstances we hear of private interviews between Sir Robert
Peel and his candidate , and of invitations and visits to Windsor Castle , which have the magical effect of changing Mr . Walter ' s all but certainty of success into a dangerous defeat , had he been sufficiently foolhardy to brave the licensed brutality of the soldiers of Colonel Reid ' s regiment , her Majesty ' s Life Guards , as well as the high-spirited enthusiasm of the xovsq gentlemen of Eton College—the constitutional force enlisted on behalf of the ministerial
candidate . A special Act of Parliament directs the removal of all military force from the place of election pending the contest ; but from the presumption that the Monarch ' s body guard must , from their situation , be exonerated even from the suspicion of interference , there is a special exemption as regards them . Eton College has ever been the nursery of aristocratic prejudices , and , being contiguous to the
royal residenoe at Windsor , has ever been a marked object of royal favour ; but never , until the principle of centralisation had been substituted for the spirit of the constitution , have we heard of a single instance of the sons of the aristocracy being called upon to do electioneering service in return for Royal courtesy . It appears , upon indisputable authority , that courtly influence was used , and we shall not exempt even the Monarch from the good old legal maxim .
:. " Quern facit per alium facit per ae "Who acts by another acts by himself . It is , we believe , an indisputable fact , that interviews passed between the Prime Minister and Col . Reid during the excitement of the impending contest ; while it is a faejt that the officers of Col . Reid's regiment , the body guard of her Majesty , the corps whose delicate position entitle them to exemption from the provisions of an Act of Parliament , a soldiery paid by the people , and under the nose of the
Qaeen , exerted their influence on behalf of iheir Colonel ; while , it is a fact now upon record , that the soldiers of Col . Reid ' s regiment did , in a state of beastly intoxication , armed with broomsticks , and elub 3 cut from the hedges for the occasion , commit gross and savage assaults upon her Majesty ' s subjects within the precincts of the Royal residence . Nor do we so much blame the hired mercenaries , as those whose duty it was to enforce their proper discipline . " Cum Duces talia faciunt quid non milites faeient ?"
When the generals do such things what will not the soldiers do ? It is a further fact , that from 2 to 300 of the young gentlemen of Eton , ne doubt under high authority andenthusiastically primed by that esprit du corps which so closely allies them to legitimacy , did , in the most dangerous and unwarrantable manner , interfere at the nomination of candidates . Such is the history of the most memorable election upon record . Such were themeana resorted to to ensure the return ef the Ministerial candidate ; and such has been the mode by which Sir Robert Peel has suoceeded in
defeating a brother Tory . And now it becomes our duty to offer a word or two , by way of comment , upon this most unconstitutional act—we had nearly called it practice . It has been the boast of Sir Robert Peel's partisans , that ho has governed without patronage , and that he has been independent of the pres 3 . High bnasts , if true ; but nearly at the same moment that we read of the Windsor election , we are given to understand that since the right honourable gentleman ' s accession to power he has increased his Ministerial patronage fund by a quarter of a million sterling per annum—a good substitute for newspaper support , but rather a novel mode of governing without patronage . This is essentially the very basis of that destructive principle of centralisation which
enables Sir Robert Peel to substitute Ministerial patronage for newspaper criticism and public opinion . This has been the foundation of his apparently prosperous career—this will be the rock upon which his Government must ultimately split . There is no possible contingency on which public o pinion has been so jealous and suspicious , as that of Royal , Ministerial or lordly interference with the election of members of Parliament . And there is no force that can be called in aid of this interference , so dangerous to the promoters , or so threatening to monarchy itself as the use of the British , soldiery , and , above all , that soldiery which is dfetinguisLed by- its intimate connection with the Monarch . While no example more dangerous can be implanted in the youthful minds of England ' s futee n ; lei > . than that winch has been re-

cently set them . Good , ' however , may , and most probably will , result from this wholesale violation of the Constitution . Clergymen of the Church of England are not eligible to sit in Parliament , lest they should act under the influence of Government patronage , and leaf ; they should neglect their parochial duties , May not the question now arise , as to whether or not the same influences and reasons may not operate upon a military or a naval officer ! Are they not likely to be operated upon by the magic influence of Government patronage , while , if the people pay them for anything , they pay them for enforcing a proper discipline ; the observance of which would , like the parson , require tkeir continuous presence and exertion .
As to the part acted by Mr . Magistrate Blust , it was too humiliating , disgusting , atrocious , pitiful , cringing , and mean , for us to trust ourselves with comment , and , therefore , we shall dispose of that great unpaid , by simply directing attention to his conduct during the investigation . Here we find an English magistrate endeavouring to suppress the truth , anxious that the witnesses , should be brief in their evidence—where that evidence would make against his clients , the 3 OLDiERS 7-but patient and resigned where it promises to be . fayourable . ' Upon the whole we are led to the rational and natural conclusion that
Sir Robert Peel , to whose headlong policy we are opposed , sees in ' Mrj Walter something more threatening to the ' principle of centralisation than ever wehave , discovered , and , therefore , in order to discover the jewel in the toad ' s head we shall hencefortjhbe anxious to see the champion of centralisation and the ' enemy-to tha t destructive principle , fair . Iy pitted against each other in the House of Commons . Should the people tolerate such an interference with the remnant of their few remaining rights , upon the first fitting opportunity we may expect to find a Cromwell for our ruler , and his guards for our representatives . .

To oun Scotch Keadebb . —Our northern friends will not have received their papers on Saturday this week , the fault was not ours , the disappointment being occasioned by the breaking down of the machinery shortly after the paper went to press .

The Weekly F&bce at Conciliation Hall . —In our
" summary of the week ' s news" ( see page fight ) mil be found a notice of the farce enacted on the boards of Conciliation Hall on Monday lust . In the course of the speech which the " Irish Moses" directed against tha unfortunate ejected " French American , " " Moses , " said— " I interrupt my friend , Hr . O'Brien , because I know there are spies abroad . ( Hear , hear . ) Thore has been a paper distributed in the northern parts of thU county inciting the people to assassinate the landlords . I believe it is before the Castle , because I desired Mr . Arkins to take it there yesterday , but no attempt has been made as yet by the police magistrates or the police to lay hold of the individuals who have distributed these papers . " On this candid confession of Dan ' s , that he has renounced the character of " iloses" for that of " Judas Iscaiiot , " and turned informer on behalf of the Tory Government , our friend , Mr . Patrick O'iliggins , writes us follows : —You will perceive by the freeman ' s
Journal , which contains the proceedings at Conciliation Hall , that there is an end of the farce about American and French sympathy , and ttiat one of the political pupils of the O'OonneU confederacy was kicked out because he learned his lesson—a lesson which the leaders have been dinning : into Irish ears for the last four vears . You will also perceive that the Liberator is ut his dirty work again . During Whiggery he boasted of his being a Wiiig informer . There was Tory treason iu every pot that boiled , in every cabin that smoked , unless a sign was hung out for the Melbourne administration . '' The only ministry that ever intended doiii" justice to Ireland . " A miniBtry pledged to civil war " in their own words , " wav to the kuife , in preference to a ' llepeal of the Union .

The Whig pulicc and Vfhig detective are not sufficiently on the alevt-O'Coimeiiuud Arkins must help them to do their dirty work . Hr .

•• inciting the people to assassinate the landlords . " a " mighty big lie , " as Dan very well knows . That payee has been published in the Star , and we arc at a loss to imagine how Mr . O'Hjggins could have missed it . It appeared in last week ' s Star , in the last column of tho first page , under the head of " Landlords and Tenants —Tyrants turning Tenants out , " requesting the pUO « lieation of that paper , ( which request was complied ivith last week ) . Mr . O'Higgins goesou to say : — " Its publication will be an act of charity to let my poor countrymen see the document which Hr . O'Connell , the "friend ot the poor , " for whose benefit or happiness lie has as jet done nothing , denounces as an incitement to assassinate the landlords . Let them see with their own eyes whether it is not an incitement to the landlords to treat their tenants with common justice . Let them also see their darling exacting a tribute from a starving , naked people , in the teeth of a famine . When they see these tilings , let them ask each other what did .

| . ' . THE FAMINE . Since we last wrote upon the subject of the threatened famine , communications from all parts of the country continue to give frightful earnest of whajttlieaeqtiel miistbe . Not only docs it appear that the potatoe crop in Ireland has failed , but further experience has confirmed our worst anticipations with respect to the condition of the wheat crop all over the world . It : appears that other nations , whether from a paternal feeling , or from the fact of the agricultural interest exercising the predominant influence over state councils , are one and all alive
—even the despot of Russia himself— to the sad necessity that Providence has imposed on them of thinking , for once , that a starving people ia the woi' 3 t enemy , and , therefore , of compelling them to resist aggression by silencing complaint . In nearly every country except England , precautionary measures have been taken to guard against this universal visitation , but England , unlike' other countries , is governed by the wholesale possessors of the soil ; and thoir traffic being in food , and their Prime Minister being their tool , the people are allowed to stare starvation in the face , while ministerial influence and party power is being balanced . England alone pauses until the chemists shall have discovered how much of the respective
nutricious elements are to be found in a rotten potatoe . Thiie apothecaries are despatched to analyse the hope of Ireland for ten months , and so vague , con flictlng , complicated , and contradictory are the several recommendations of tho trio , that they but serve to make confusion more confounded . In the outset of the threatened danger there were many shortsighted persons who relioji apon railway operations in Ireland as likely to mitigate the horrors of famine . It was admitted that the price of provisions would rise , but , as a set off , it was argued that wages would proportionately rise also . Let us expose the folly of
this flimsy sophistry . Let us suppose that , by the practical working of tho principle of centralisation , the Government of England was enabled so to balance the provisions and the rate of wages as to raise the latter to the level of the former . So far , so good , for that portion of the community in aid of whose condition this principle could be enforced . But , then , another and a greater question arises—greater , inasmuch , as its consideration involves the condition of that portion of the population in whose behalf the principle cannot be enforced , namely , the great bulk of the working people .
Let this fact be kept closely in view , and then we shall find that a rise in wages , consequent upon a rise in the price of provisions , is only serviceable to that class who are thereby enabled to make both ends meet , while the increased price of provisions doubly , trebly increases the hardship of those over whose wages the rectifying scale can have no effect . Hence it is a delusion to suppose that if a hundred thousand men employed upon railway works in Ireland , receive an increase of wages commensurate with the increased price , of provisions , that such an arrangement will mitigate the sufferings of the remaining nineteen
hundred thousand variously employed ; but on the contrary , the inevitable effect must be to increase the sufferings of those who , from their pitiful earnings , are unable to buy the high-priced provisions . It has ever been the Tory policy to fight the satisfied against the dissatisfied of all classes , . . Bishops and aspiring parsons were satisfied , and kept their refractory curates and underlings in order , So with the officers of the highest rank in the army and navy . So with the landlords and their tenants at will , and so we regret to say with the labouring classes themselves . But this policy must foil before the great leveller hunger , and hence the danger to the monopolists .
When we contrast the paternal speech of the King of the Belgians with the perfect listlessness and apathy of our rulers at home , we are irresistibly led to that conclusion to which Mr . O'Connor had arrived in his first letter from that country , namely , that the Land being in the jtossessloa of the people , was tk& foundation of the constitution of the country . And already are the landlords of Ireland beginning to discover that such also must be the rational conclusion to which their serfs must come . The pompous and ostentatious offering of a pitiful portion of that enormous wealth that they have extracted from the sinews of their slaves , will be looked upon , not as the result of charity but as the result of fear .
A famine ragea thoughout the months of June , July , and August of every year in Ireland , and yet as Ions as the proud landlords can rely upon the tranquillity of thosa who can secure one meal ai pototoea for that time , they have shut their purse strings , and relied upon the old policy of fighting the comparatively satisfied against the abject poor . But now that -the degree of comparison is reduced to superlative suffering , they dread the united howl and the combined Yengoance of a starving people , and they are called charitable , and benefactors , forsooth , We tell the Irish people that everv man who must
be a consumer , to exist must also be a producer upon his own account—otherwise they will have no guarantee against suffering , privation , and want . And we ask tho would-be liberators of their country how it is that they wish so much professed patriotism , with such machinery for action as is unknown to the world , and with the people confiding beyond all parallel , how , we ask , does it happen that those patriots , who have levied ample funds to redeem a large portionof the usurped landsof the country , have never applied one single farthing of those funds for the purpose of giving Ireland , or any portion of it , to the Irish ijeople .
If the patriots had organised a Land Society , for the purpose of giving Ireland to the Iiiaa , their reeeipts would be over £ 10 , 000 a week , and each year they might locate thousands of dependent paupers upon their native soil . Yes , we assert without fear of contradiction , that the Irish , banished to England , would , of themselves , subscribe £ 10 , 000 a-wedc for such u purpose ; but £ 20 , 000 a-year and £ 300 awcek going into the pockets of the patriots is better than a million a-year , of which the lmv would compel THEM TO RE . NDEU AN ACCOUNT . V . e have much pleasure in callhig the marked attention of our readers . to trio following extracts ' from

the speech of the King of Belgium , on opening the Belgian Chambers , and if ¦ they will learn the truth from anything , they will discover from that , that the
POSSESSION OF THE LAND ASD THE PKINCIPLES OF THE People ' s Charter can alone insure such a speech at the opening of their Parliament . . Gentlemen , —My relations tiith foreign powers retain a marked character of mutual confidence . I am happy to communicate to you that a treaty of commerce and of navigation has been concluded with tha United States of America . It will be submitted without delay for your approbatien . I have well-founded hopes that negotiations commenced with other transatlantic states will soon have the same favourable issue . Thus does the commercial policy which you have sanctioned continue to bear its fruits . By virtue of a recent arrangement , which will shortly receive a definitive sanction , Belgian commsrec , in its relations with China , will be placed on the same footing as that of the most favoured nation .
Negotiations are pending with several neighbouring nations , in order to secure aud to increase the outlets for our produce . The results will bo communicated to you Rasoon as the interests of tho country will allow of it . l > uring several years past my Gsvermnent lias been occupied with ths extension of our commercial relations , by means of the establishment of an exporting company . The bases of this institution have just been discussed . I trust that during the session the important questions raised by this project may receive a solution . Tho gencrul situation of commerce nud industry is satisfactory . Several branchas of national riches have recovered the prosperity which they had lost . The Go . vcrnment does not neglect any moans of attenuating the effects of the maUiisc from which the linen trade is still suffering .
The agricultural interest continues to be the object of the constant attention of the Government . The corn harvest has been on the whole a good one ; -and although one of the most valuable articles of consumption for the poorer classes has been in a great part destroyed , the resolutions which you have adopted during your extraordinary session have already led to favourable results . They will alleviate the effects of that visitation , and , moreover , afford the means of providing for the wants of the operative classes , by encouraging useful public works . . The State , the provinces , and the rural districts , hare devoted considerable sums to the formation of roads . The measures proposed by Government for the propagation of the best method of cultivating land , for the extension of agricultural information , and the reclaiming of waste soils , will exert a salutary influence upon that grand national interest .
Some projects of law for the regulation of the system of instruction in veterinary science ; as well as of the exercise of that profession , will be submitted to your consideration . The exhibition of the fine arts has maintained the Bel . gian school in the rank assigned it by the administration of the country , and the just appreciation of it by neigh , bouring nations , I indulge iu the pleasing hope that the national exhibitions which will take place in 1847 , will show that our industry has made further progress . The public system of . education < tt the expense of the State has been regulated in its higher and lower departments by the laws of 1842 and 1843 . I desire that that organisation should be ' completed during the present session by the vote of the project of law on middle instruction , with which the Legislature is occupied , and to which useful developments , the results of experience may be added , I confidently appeal to the conciliator ; sentiments which have always animated you in the examination of those important questions .
The condition . of the poorer classes is tho object of my constant solicitude . In the attempt to ameliorate their moral and physical state , my Government will be powerfully aided by the honourable gentlemen whose assistance it has recently claimed . The patronage extended to liberated convicts is receiving its organisation . It will be rendered more efficacious after the passing of the law having is view tlia modification of the penitentiary system . The prudent and gradual revision of the laws ii progressing . Some changes in the eodc of criminal charges , and in the organic law relating to tho profession of notaries public , will be proposed to you .
There—there ' s the best King ' s speech I ever read , aud that speech was only and entirely produced by the Land being in the possession of the people .
