    ing as cheap as usual : Mr . Eagleton very eloquently and unaffectedly holds forth fair promises to the " connoisseurs in flowery pekoe and young hyson ; ' ( poetical seducer !—how we long to take tea with him !) Messrs . Hancock have issued their circulars , exhorting all the country dealers to hasten before the arrival of the new teas ; while their allusion to mercantile rivals is made in the most handsome and Christian-like spirit : Mr .

We shall , therefore , cut short the present discussion . After we have gained all our own rights—cheap bread , equal laws , good national education , and light taxes upon poor English people—we may then , perhaps , begin to think of stirring up the spirit of freedom in the East , and of getting a Reform Bill passed in China !
