IT is with the above appropriate character the Eng lish signification of which is " Peace and lenty," that CAPT. PIDDING'S Chinese correspon nt heads his last communication from Fo-kein. " H ven," he adds, " approving, has rained down blessity , on the Central Nation. In the same Season, Peac s proclaimed, and Plenty crowns the Land. Since th 'ear 4448," (A. D. ,) rc..• a"a b 7 the broutza• tailed Star," (comet,) vegetation has not been so luxuri ant as now. The air, redolent of perfume from the fra grant tea-blossoms, manifests its fine quality ; whilst the plentiful picking shows how abundant is the precious leaf. Thus has nature conspired with the gods to make man happy." The new Season's crop of CAPT. PIDDING'S TEAS, just received, realises all that he anticipated from the above communication. Their quality is most assuredly the finest he has known. Their abundance—with a remis sion of duties in prospect—has determined him at once to reduce the price below what they have ever before been harged. ' • CAPTAIN PIDDING'S MIXED BLACK TEA is accordingly REDUCED from Ss. 6d. the Catty Package to 6s. the Pound Package. His SMALL LEAF GUN POWDER is REDUCED from Twelve Shillings the Catty Package to Ss. 6d. the Pound Package. The Signature of the Sole Importer, " Captain JOHN RHODES PInnING," Hon.

THE DIRECTORS of the HARRINGTON DOCK COMPANY, having made the following Report to the Shareholders, and having since forwarded a co .y of it to each member of the Town Council and Dockcommit tee, every one of whom has the means of twin. is accu racy, now think themselves called tiron, in j rice to the Commercial community, to make the sa e statement public. Misrepresented as to their motiv:. in the recent negotiation with the Dock Committee, a as to many of the circumstances attending it, the Direc •rs have hitherto entirely disregarded such attacks, considering that calum nies are always best answered by facts, and that honesty in purpose and action needs not to be vindicated. Nor would they even now have come forward, but that they see a great public improvement loudly demanded by the Commercial interest, and supported by the strongest tes timony of the Dock Officers, in some danger of being de feated or delayed by the opposition of a few individuals, in consequence solely, as they believe, of the ignorance or misapprehension of the real facts of the case which gene rally prevails, and which it is the whole object of the present statement to remove. LEWIN MOZLEY, Chairman Liverpool, 16th Dec., 1843. REPORT. TO THE SHAREHOLDERS IN THE HARRINGTON DOCK COMPANY. Hitherto it has not been the practice of the Directors to issue any report of their proceedings, except at the An nual Meetings, when they have uniformly had satisfaction in submitting to the Proprietors the fullest details of their past transactions. Events have, however, occurred, during the present year, of more than ordinary importance, and the Direc tors are, consequently, anxious at once to place themselves in communication with the Proprietary, in order to con vey to them a simple statement of facts, and thereby dis abuse the public mind of certain misrepresentations, at present current, in reference to the negociation pending between your Directors and the Trustees of the Liverpool Docks, for the sale to the latter of a large portion of the Estate. The usual period for closing the Annual Accounts being so near, any statement as to general management, or the finances of the Estate, is at present uncalled for; but the Directors have pleasure in recording their satisfaction at the continued improvement so far, this year, of the un dertaking intrusted to their management. Many of the Shareholders will be aware, that the Pro perty of the Trustees of the Liverpool Docks, adjoining the north end of the Harrington Esratn, is confined within very narrow limits; and the inconvenience arising there from has, from time to time, occasioned inquiries,whether your Directors would be willing to negociate for the sale to the Dock Trust of so much of the north end of the Harrington Dock Estate as was necessary for the enlarge ment of the Toxteth Dock. No steps of a formal or decided character were, how ever, taken until early in the present year, when a Special Meeting of your Directors was convened for considering the subject, which resulted in the appointment of a Sub committee to examine into the cost of the Estate, its pre sent revenue and future capabilities. On the 7th of February last a Report on these subjects was read at our Board, fora copy of which see Appendix A. At this meeting the Chairman intimated, also, the fact of the inquiries which had been made from him, and the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : "That the price fixed for the value of Land to be sub mitted, say 127,763 yards, be 335. per yard ; and that the Chairman be authorized to place himself in communi cation with the proper parties,with the view of negotiating for the sale of the land in question." Under this authority the Chairman took early means of communicating with ►the Dock Trust, and, to avoid any possibility of misunderstanding on the subject, for warded, for the information of the Chairman of the Dock Committe, a copy of the report of Mr. Stewart, as well as the resolution of the Board of Directors thereon. For some months the affair remained inactive; but, early in June, applications were made to our Board, by some of our tenants, for improvements and extended leases ; and, about the same time, proposals for the pur chase of part of the land at the south end of the estate were submitted, requiring mature consideration and early decision. Under circumstances so urgent, the Chairman addressed a note to the member of the Dock Committee who had been the medium of the previous communication, asking for an early reply. • The publishedreports of the proceedings in the Dock Committee, in the months of June and July, will afford ample means of reference to the discussions in connexion with the necessity for increased dock space generally, and especially as respects the intention of that committee to negociate with the Directors of the Harrington Estate fora portion of their land. The result was a formal resolution of the Dock Com mittee authorising such a treaty ; and, accordingly, Mr. Sands, the Chairman, called on your Chairman, and, finding he was then in London, appointed to meet there, for the purpose of carrying out that resolution. An interview took place, on the lith July, at the Bur lington Hotel, when, acting upon instructions from the Board of Directors, your Chairman stated, that tl.e price of 40,000 to 60,000 yards of the land and strand at the north end of the estate would be forty-two shillings per square yard. The powers of the Chairman of the Dock Trust being limited to a treaty for the quantity of land offered at a price not exceeding 31s. 6d. per yard, it was mutually arranged that a communication should be made to the Board of Directors in Liverpool for further authority, and that, pending a reply, the negotiation should stand over. On the 19th of July your Chairman received, in Lon don, a letter from the Board, for an extract from which see B in the Appendix, and, on meeting Mr. Sands that day, by appointment, intimated to him the confirmation of his previous instructions as to price. The Chairman of the Dock Trust not having authority to exceed the price offered by him, the negociation at that after much discussion, that if the Dock Committee should revise their resolution, and desire to treat for a purchase of the whole Harrington Estate, west of Sefton-street, a less price per yard than the rate asked for the portion then required would be accepted. Shortly after these interviews a scheme was brought out, having for its object the formation of new Docks, Sheds, and Warehouses, by a Joint Stock Company, who should purchase the whole of the Harrington and Hercu laneum Estates; and the subject received, as it well de served, the early and serious consideration of your Di rectors ; but the pending negociation with the Dock Trustees had its due influence on the minds of the Di rectors, and naturally induced them to pause before they entertained the idea of any new appropriation of the estate. At a Meeting of the Board, held on the 3d of August, the following minute and resolution were agreed to : " The Chairman reported the result orh is interviews with Mr. Lace and the Chairman of the Dock Committee relative to a sale of the whole or a portion of the Harring ton Estate, and, having re-considered their former reso lution, fixing a minimum price on the land, the Board now resolve unanimously, That the Chairman be empowered to negotiate for a sale of the whole or any part of the Harrington Dock Trust; and that, until all negociation with the Dock Committee be concluded, it is not advisable to entertain Mr. Lace's proposal." _ In possession of this full authority, and seeing the ne cessity, in consequence of Mr. Lace' s plan, of coming to some conclusion one way or other with the Dock Trust, your Chairman considered himself warranted in commu nicating, for the information of the Chairman of the Dock Committee, that the Directors were willing to sell at the price fixed on the 7th of February, or on such terms as the opinions of competent surveyors might decide ; and that they were equally prepared to treat for a sale of 40,000 to 60,000 yards, at 355. per yard. The discussion which thereupon ensued in the Dock Committee naturally attracted the attention of your Direc tors; and the various unfounded statements hazarded during the debate, as regards the cost, value, or useful application of the Harrington Estate, created an anxious desire on the part of the Directors to refute the erroneous impressions which were spread abroad by the circulation of these statements through the medium of the press. As the most direct means of effecting this object the written opinions of some of the best authorities in the town, as valuers of property, were directed to be obtained. Mr. John Stewart and Mr. Rowland declined to act, being Shareholders, but the former had concurred in the Report A in the Appendix, and the latter had declared his conviction, that the Estate was well worth 40s. per yard, and that, with proper management and outlay, a revenue in proportion would be derived. The Board, therefore, applied to Mr. Weightman, than whom, they believe, no one in his profession is more competent to forma pound opinion vu such a subject ; and from him they shortly received the Report C in the Appendix, and which was read at a Meeting of Directors, on the Ilth of Oc tober, when the following Minute as also agreed to : " The Chairman communicated his further proceedings as regards the negociation for sale of the Estate to the Dock Trustees, and produced a Report and Valuation of Mr. Weightman, the Surveyor, whereon it was resolved, ' That the Resolution of the 3d of August, empowering the Chairman to sell, at his discretion, the Estate west of Sefton-street, be confirmed ; and that he is authorised to communicate to the Chairman of the Dock Estate, or any other Member of that Committee, the Report and Valu ation of Mr. W( ightman.' " On the same day the Report of Mr. Weightman, with a letter, for which see Appendix D, were forwarded for the information of the Dock Committee. At a meeting of the Dock Committee, on the 26th of October, a Resolution for the purchase of the whole of the Harrington Dock Estate, west of Sefton-street, at 31s. 6d. per yard; and also for the purchase from the Corporation and Mr. Leigh of a large tract of Land at the north end of the town, was passed by a majority of 11 to 5, and soon afterwards Mr. Sands, the Chairman of the Dock Trust, called on your Chairman, to com municate that fact, intimating, also, that the proceedings of the Dock Committee, in all cases, required confirma tion by the Town Council, and, in this instance, it would be necessary to apply to Parliament for powers to com plete the purchases. He also made certain proposals as to the terms of payment, which were approved of so far as your Chairman had authority. To the contract, thus definitively concluded on the part of the Dock Committee, so far as circumstances per mitted, your Chairman, authorised by the previous reso lution of the Board. gave his distinct assent, and took it for granted that such contract so completed in every re spect (except mere form) would be falthfully carried out by the Dock Committee. No further communication has taken place between the Dock Committe and the Directors of the Harrington Dock Company; and the Town Council, on the 31st of Dec, 19, IS-13. October, confirmed the proceedings of the Dock Co mmit ' tee, in so far as was necessa r y for them to take the Pr. e ; liminary measures for goi ng t o P ar li amen t, by ea"P ri t of 31 to 12 ; and it is worthy of remar k, th a t ever;gem— k,.r i of the Town Council who had an interest in the Harring! ton or Herculaneum Docks abstained from vo ting ou that occasion. Throughout these details it Will have been observed, t1i . 14 your Directors were rather the parties sought than Beene"' ing the negociation ; and they bad, from the first, bt t % ) object, namely, so to conduct that negotiation asjusuidr protect the important trust committed to their care , 11 1 1 , 1 0 at the same time, to forward the views of the Yu Authorities in a fair awl 'leral spirit. t, And, although they have observed, with much regi,rieth the unjust imputations and erroneous states:oO n this which the mind of the Public has been abused °,,;(- ht question, a full conviction of their own plain andP, t 7the forward course throughout the tr a nsaction, in utl— ha - rIP Directors to meet such statements, not by any or the tions of an irritating character, (however justifie d .1 o f provocation,) but by this plain and simple flatle t facts ; relying on their Proprietary for a right o a cst"' tion of their proceedings, and a continuance of the ir limited confidence Liverpool, 1843.Deeembe L r E l3 W , 1N M M OSLEM, Cbaintlan' APPENDIX HARRINGTON DOCK ESTATE Copy of Report of 7th Feb., 1843. . f The Land belonging to this Estate, on the west sicultro Sefton -street, is an area of 127,763 square yard s ': 00 Directors are prepared to treat for the sale of it + ll lot. frolo The Rent absolutely received during the past 3r,e 9oo sr has this Land amounts to £3,400, of which neitrly l . - -e t P been derived fiom casual Tenants, for de °siting on the Land, for Dock Dues, &c.is ttO Part of the Land, namely. 45,330 yards , ~,ntS Tenants from year t(„Lyear, or on short Leases, at amounting to £2,549 13s.
