ADDRESS OF THE LIVERPOOL ASSOCIATION FOR THE REDUCTION OF THE DUTY ON TEA IN again calling public attention to thc oppressive and impolitic tax upon Tea, the Association art anxious to give prominence to those facts which indicate the necessity for an unmediate reduction of the duty. _ )resent expectations of the extension of our trade with that Empire. It was reasonably anticipated that the low rate of duty imposed by its Government upon British Manufactures, would be re ciprocated by a corresponding liberality in the admission of the ...• • staple production of the Chinese tor tne use of ourselves. the elements of agricultural industry essential to the production of Tea—the fertile and extensive territory, and the superabundant population of China, estimated at above 350,000,000—arecapa _ - - ble of enlarging its 'supply in a ratio at least equal to that in which the machinery of our manufacturers can increase the production of fabrics required for exportffltion. Our importa tions from China have never yet reached four per cent. of the entire production of that country, according to the best calcu lation. It is, however, a notorious fact, that the expectations thus cherished have been disappointed. The merchants are exposed to heavy losses in the importation of Teas, which are now sell ing in the British markets at prices below their current value in China; while at the same time our manufactures are selling ... - ..... population at large are unbenefited by any practical result ac cruing from a treaty which has left behind it a tax upon British competition. There is no difficulty in ascertaining the cause of so disas trous an issue. The pressure of an impost, unprecedented in any other tariff, crippl excludes our manufactures frOm the larger proportion of the Chinese population, while it deprives the labouring classes in this country of one of the most needful articles of domestic comfort. The foreign policy of our Government has achieved a brilliant success, but its results are marred and counteracted by the incongruous arrangements of the Home Eichequer. The chief export of China is brought in abundance to our shores, only to accumulate in our warehouses. A tax, as ano malous in its principle, as it isinischievous in its results, stops at once the tide of commercial prosperity, and the pervading currents of social civilization. . . . Under such circumstances, it is almost as easy to predict the future as to review the past. A losing trade can never be a permanent one. The discouraging results of this year's im ports will curtail the shipments of the next. Comparative scarcity, and proportionately high prices will follow. The pro fessed intention of the financial measures of Government for some time past has been to cheapen the necessaries of life. In this country Tea occupies a more prominent place among those necessaries than in any other. Under the operation of any uniform and reasonable system of taxation, it would, therefore, have been recognised as a primary object for the ameliorative interposition of Goveniment. On the contrary, however, the legislature of the country in which it is most extensively con sumed, is the last to recognise its importance in the civil and social economy of the state. The Government has afforded every facility for its supply to other countries, where it is little tion among ourselves, where it's.use is indispensable. The necessities of the Exchequer—the only plea advanced in palliation of an impost so obviously , indefensible—is one which will not bear examination. There is no reason to apprehend that the reduction of the duty to Is. per pound should leave a deficit of any importance. The immediate result of such a change mould unquestionably be the liberation of a larger quantity from bond than had ever been taken out during the same period before. If any temporary pressure upon our finances existed, it would thus be promptly relieved. There is no room to doubt that in the farther course of time the gradual increase of consumption would enlarge the revenue upon a sure and satisfactory basis. This is not a gratifitons conjecture, but a reasonable deduction from the result of similar changes in the duties on coffee and sugar •, and, above all, it is confirmed by the only two existing precedents of a reduction in the tax upon Tea itself. In 1744, the duty was reduced from ..13 188. 7fd. per cent. and 48. per lb. to ..t3B 185. 7fd. per cent. and Is. per lb. The consumption immediately advanced nearly 50 per cent. In 1784, the duty was reduced from -t55 15s. 10d. per cent. and is. ld. 4-sths per lb. to 12} per cent. The consump tion was at once more than doubled. In 1795 it was trebled, and in 1794 it was quadrupled. Since that period the duty has gradually advanced. Under the monopoly of the East India Company it was 100 per cent. • and under a system of indivi dual enterprise and competition, it is nearly 200 per cent. Every reduction in the vice of the article has, however, been followed by an increase in its consumption. The prei . ent consumption of Tea in this country amounts to an average of about ieb. per head per annum for the entire population. This is about one-fourth of the allowance usually it is less than one-half of the quantity consumed in the Channel Islands, where all intoxicating beverages are far cheaper than in this country ; and it is scarcely one-sixth of the proportion used in Australia, by. a population whose physical requirements will appear to most persons less favourable to its use. What ever test may be applied to our present Consumption, it Will r..trieterl by the artificial limits of c. !out' LI) , appear to Ile ICl9la price, and not by any objection to the qualities and properties of the article. A careful examination of these will justify the conclusion that it is adapted more than any other beverage for incorporation with every description of diet, and for use at every meal ; that it is suited to every variety of physical con stitution, and adequate to sustain every description of mental The present duty amounting to two-thirds of the cost of the most serviceable descriptions of Tea, it is evident that the dealers require, in ordeito cover theii investments in its pur chase, three times the profit which would repay them, were the article free of duty. The.ppblic hav i wthus to pay a tax upon a tax ; _the magnitude of the impost, in the first instance, being lb., the consumerVould obtain at least 31bs. of Tea for the same money that he now pays for 21bs. ; and there is no doubt whatever that the larger quantity would be used. As the con sumption.of every pound.of Tea involves that of 51bs. of sugar the extra duty on the latter, added, to that on the increw -tit- •tt would at once yield a reven"" quantity of lea a, four millions, according to the most moderate computatio. while the future enlargement of this source of public income might confidently be expected. The Association conceive it unnecessary to enlarge upon those moral and social benefits that may fairly be anticipated under the operation of a more equitable impost. They are persuaded that the removal of those restrictions which now impede the use of a cheap and salubrious beverage would be highly conducive to the happiness• and well-being of the com munity, by encouraging habits .of temperance and domestic comfort, and by supplying practical dissitasives from crime. They regard the burden of the tax as now pressing upon the energies of the entire population under whatever character these may be beneficially developed ; and they, therefore, in vite the sympathy and support of all .classes in their efforts for its removal.

STREET ROBBERY.—.At the Police-court, yesterday, three men, Thomas Wilson: and two others, were charged with knocking down acid robbing, in Whitley-street, a tnau of .£1 Is. The offender named could The be identified, and he was committed for trial. The other two were necessarily discharged. The workmen in the employ of Messrs. Hibbert and Platt, machine . makers, Oldham, have raised among them selves £6O, as the commencement of a fund for the esta blishment of . a public park in that town. Two or three. years ago, the Government offered a thousand pounds for a park at Oldham, if a similar sum were raised by sub scription. Nothing, however, has been done in the mat ter till the present time. • GRAND CONCERT.—We would direct the attention of our readers to the concert announced to take ptace at the Concert-hall, on Monday next, the 30th iiistant. , The attractions are great.

WATER SUPPLY We have abstained hitherto from expressing a decided opinion in favour of any of the schemes, which have been proposed for the better supply of the town with water, :0 although none have advocated more earnestly than oar !: selves the importance of such a supply being procured. Before taking, or even pledging ourselves to approval of, rt any step in a matter of so grave a nature, involving, in whatever direction it may be - made ' a large outlay of the public money, we have felt it our duty to cause—to weigh evidence—and, above all, to allow to those authorities upon whom will devolve the onus of failure, and who will undoubtedly reap the full credit of success, time and op portunity to examine well the materials within their reach and the best mode of using them. We have moreover not hesitated in cautioning them against precipitancy of action, and pointing out to them grounds for withholding, for a while, their confidence in some of the authorities we saw them consulting. We must now, however, lay aside our reserve, and give to the public our opinions upon this important subject. Our readers will be aware that two schemes have been most prominently, and it appears to us with rather unwise urgency, placed before the consideration of the Sanatory Committee, viz.,—Mr. Rawlinson's Bala Lake scheme, and Mr. liawkslev's proposal to bring water from Riving - going to parliament during the next session. It will per haps have been gathered from recent remarks, which the subject has called from us. that our sympathies are in tavour of the rejected scheme. Its opponent, the Ri vington Pike project, we regard as inadequate to afford us the supply of water required, and as most unsafe to be ream upon for such a purpose. The attempt to collect such a supply amongst the swamps and ditches of Riving ton Pike would, moreover, t.e a very expensive one, on account of the various compensation claims which would require to be satisfied ; and, besides this, the objectiona ble feature of the liability of such supply to be cut off by occasional severe and lengthened drought, places it, in our estimation, hors de combat. On the other hand, when we look at the more certainly efficacious project of bringing the supply from Bala Lake, we are startled with the immense cost which its adoption must entail upon the ratepayers. We want, it must be borne in mind, cheap water as well as abundance ; and here is an instance, in which it is not, as in ordinary cases, . Bala Lake scheme could not be carried out, we agree with Mr. Ambrose Lace, for less than a million and a half sterling; and, judging from our experience of engineering estimates, we are more inclined to set it down at two millions. For the mere interest upon this outlay, with out calculating the cost of working at all, we should have to pay six and eightpence p:.r head upon our population of three hundred thousand for a supply of water. Such a consideration is well calculated to impel us to reject, for the present at least, the idea of entertaining the project, and induce us to look round, and endeavour at least to ascertain whether there are not other and less expensive means within our reach. Inc natural course then intimated last week, is to examine first the extent of our present resources, and the possibility which exists of in creasing them, so as V) serve the purposes which we have The public—and we do not claim any exemption for ourselves—have been in the habit of concluding that the capability of supply by the present companies was much less than, in reality, we find it to be. The mistake has originated in the fact that they have confined themselves to doing only that required from them by their acts of all who choose to provide receptacles for it. The yield of the Liverpool and Harrington works averages now 21 millions of gallons daily ; and the springs from which this is drawn have never been known to fail or to lessen in their productiveness. We are rather surprised to find, however, from authority upon which we can rely, that the five lodgements of this company are capable of yielding upwards of four million gallons daily ; and that recent ex periments made by the company have clearly shown that this pew might be greatly increased at a trilling cost. We are assured, moreover, by men of experience, and intimately acquainted with the geological strata of Liver pool, that this could be done without at all drawing inju riously upon the springs. We are not in a condition to speak with so much cer- tainty with respect to the yield r of the Bootle springs ; but suppose them to be half that of the Harrington Com pany, to very moderate estimate, certainly,) this will give six millions of gallons daily as the :quantity which the companies together could supply. If to that is added the yield of the Green lane establishment, which will be at least another million, we thus find an immediate available supply of upwards of 7,000,000 gallons per diem. Sup posing our population to be 300,000. this would give rather more than 23 gallons per diem to every inhabitant—a greater quantity of pure spring water than is [supplied to the inhabitants of any other town in Great Britain. This may not suffice to satisfy the thirst of the more ardent hydropathists. It must be borne in mind, how ever, that there are fanatics on more subjects than one. What we want is a cheap, abundant, and, if possible, an immediate supply. Now, cheap water, we have shown, cannot be had from Bala Lake. Abundance there is not, and never will be, at Rivington Pike. And the most en thusiastic advocate of either scheme must acknowledge that, before it could be made available, several yeai s (four or five, at least,) must elapse; and, during that time, who shall predict that our town will not be visited by one or many of those calamitous conflazrations which have obtained for it such unenviable notoriety throughout the world, and which an immediate abundant supply of water might have averted ? There is no more important consideration for the Corn. mittee than this fact that, whereas the adoption of either the Rivington Pike or the Bala scheme Would involve several years of continued endurance of our present defi ciency. of supply, and its deplorable consequences upon the security of the property and health of our population, the supply from the facilities possessed by the existing companies, could be brought at once into operation —even as early as the first of January, when the Sanatory Com mittee enters upon the discharge of its important duties. The proper siep, therefore, to be adcpted by the Sana tory Committee, we submit, would be forthwith to place themselves in communication with the companies for a purchase of their works. In any' case, that step must ultimately be taken ; for Parliament will surely make it a sine qua non in the granting of any new acts, that lull justice has been done to the owners of existing rights. The Water Company ought to be met at once in a liberal spirit, and called upon to sell their works, according to the terms of their Act of Parliament. It is idle for any individual to talk about the exorbitant price demanded. The price which they may demand is of little consequence. They are compelled to take the value of their works, the amount to be ascertained by competent arbitrators. This we repeat they are folly en titled to ; and the Council can have no objections to sub mit such question of price to the ordeal of arbi!ration. There ought to be no second opinion on the subject. In making the foregoing remarks we have been actuated by but one motive; viz. the desire of seeing the town put in - possession of a'greatly increased supply of good water at the least possible cost and with the least possible de lay. Should the Committee act upon our suggestions with promptitude they will, we are sure, earn for them- . . selves the gratitude of the whole community ; by acting otherwise they must calculate on a different result. Hav e the Committee could They would glean expe rience themselves in matters connected with water works; ing adopted the proposed cc afford to take breathing time and they would not be precluded hereafter from adopting any other more comprehensive scheme which might pre- LIVERPOOL LYING-IN HOSPITAL The fifth annual meeting of the sul-fcribers and friend nttor;tar .Coe hold nn Vlic.lnPeAsto last_ ii the Board-room, Pembroke-place ; John Howard, Esq., occupying the chair. The report (an ' ably drawn up document), which was read by Mr. James Stonehouse, the secretary, entered at large into the advantages of the institution, and the increasing favour with which it is being regarthd by the public, as evidenced by the in creay.d number of applicants for its bounty, which, how ever, the committee are compelled in many cases to reject, from the want of means at their disposal. Such being the case, they have carefully selected the most deserving and urgent cases for relief, visiting the applicants in their houses occasionally to ascertain the circumstance. This practice has brought before the eyes of the committee many sad cases of destitution. Women about to become mothers have been found in wretched habitations, unpre pared with any necessaries for the coming event—in some cases but half clad themselves, and often almost destitute. Towards such objects the advantages which a lying-iu hospital, sufficiently endowed, c‘ , uld have afforded, the committee regret that they have not been able to afford to the extent of their wishes; yet with the limited means at hand, they have effected much good, whilst the sight of the distress which has come under their eyes has l.rompted them to an effort to improve the usefulness of the insti tution. Amongst their other efforts, they advert to the recent establishment of a register for monthly and wet nurses, which is kept in the hospital, and is likely to be of great public convenience. Such nurses, on paying a small fee, and being examined strictly by the medical officers, are recommended, if found worthy characters, to parties re quiring their services. The school. for nurses and mid •wivra is prosperous, and gives satisfaction. The removal of the institution from Horatio street has .caused a debt to the treasurer of £lB6 to be incurred, but it is hoped that increased exertions on the part of the friends of the institution would enable the committee to pay off the debt in a brief time. At some future period they also announce their intention to bring forward a pro posal for the erection of a more suitable building for the purposes of the charity. To enable them to carry out their views, they have been promised the co-operation of the Rev. Canon 111`Neile, the Rev. W. Cordeaux, the Rev. W. Falloon, the Rev. F. Barker, and the Rev. J. Kelly, who have undertaken to preach sermons in behalf of the institution, the first of which is to be delivered on the 16th December, by the Rev. Canon 111'Neile, at St. Silas's Church ; and when they consider that the charity opens its arms to all, they trust to receive the support of ail denominations. To the Ladies' Committee the insti tution is greatly indebted for their valuable services, in having, in addition to those services, contributed towards a bazaar, the funds of which have been devoted towards giving relief to poor patients when going out of hospital. r. Troutbeck, of Ilanovei-street, has also kindly allowed his workmen to clean the walls free of charge; the late Mr. Calloway presented them with the amount of his printing and gilding account ; Mr. Bennett, of Sir Tho mas's-buildings, has given them an excellent new iron bedstead, and Mrs. Josiah Booker, a basket of elegant fancy worked articles for the bazaar. The report speaks most highly of the matron, Mrs. Faitbairn. During the past year there had been relieved, as in terior patients, 56 English, 5 Scotch, 44 Irish, and b Webb married females, their ages varying frogs 17 lo 39 years—two only being of the former age.

Napier rer .of some native r to emb A bloody revolution has taken place at Katmandoo, the capital of 'one of the most powerful Indian States. Nepaul has long been notorious for its fierce, wild inha bitants. The paramour of the queen of that country was assassinated by a faction : he was a man of low birth and habits. To avenge his death she procured the massacre of the Prime Minister, and of hundreds of other influen tial persons. She is the second wife of the Maharajah. and she is jealous of his eldest son by a former marriage. Her husband has fled, and there is a prospect of more carnage in that wretched country. Tbe - Nizam's dominions present the usual picture o extricable confusion, arising from bad financial arra mente. The Government of India has re-opened the Five per Cent. Loan. The notice was published in Bombay on the 14th of October, and within twenty-four hours all the public securities fell ten per cent. A sort of panic has seized the holders of the company's paper. There was much anxiety about the new Governor of Bombay, who was expected without much delay. Sir David Pollock, the new Chief Justice, had arrived, but would not take the oaths until the departure of his pre decessor, Sir H. Roper, on the 2d of November. The health of the superintendent of the Indian navy was much impaired, and he must follow the example of Sir George Arthur, and boon retire from the heats of India. The restless and dissolute mob of Canton have been even more than usually busy in keeping alive a malignant feeling towarc's foreigners, and fears have been enter_ tained that they might lead to another outbreak; but hitherto the demonstration has been confined to most flagrant threats against the Fankwai, in the shape of plackards plentifully posted in the neighbourhood of the factories—a species of warfare to which the Chinese are addicted, and with which, fortunately, they generally rest satisfied. Lately, they seem seriously to have designed more serious doing, but could not succeed in enlisting the people of the suburbs in the cause. THE BOMBAY MARKET. (From the Overland Price Current.)

PO RTUGA L FOUR DAYS LATER FROULISOON The Polyphemus, steam -sloop of war, Commander 'Cleverty, arrived at Portsmouth, on Saturday evening, in four days, from Lisbon, with despatches for government. The city was quiet. No action had taken place, up to the 16th, between the Royal forces, under Saldanah, and the insurrectionists. In fact, an impression prevailed that the belligerents would take the advice of Colonel Wylde, and settle their disputes without an appeal to arms. The story about the America frigate's disaster at Oporto is altogether discountenanced by this arrival. Though eight days, and more, had elapsed, nothing had been heard at Lisbon as to such a disaster; it was pretty well known, indeed, that a ship of the America's tonnage—a cut-down 74—could not get over the bar of Oporto. Sir William Parker's squadron was at anchor in tte Tagus on the 16th. The force consisted of the Hibernia, Trafalgar, Superb, .Albion, Rodney, Canopus, Rattler. Cyclops, and Phoenix. The Nautilus bad got under weigh, just as the Polyphemus left, for Oporto, but anchored at Belem, on account of adverse wind. RATHER IMPRUDENT.—The Mercury complains of what he considers the numerous portraits of the Rev. Hugh M‘Ne le. All eminent men are liable to the im pot tunities of artists and friends, anxious to possess their portraits. One of the editors of the Mercury—perhaps the writer of the paragraph—hes himself been honoured a few times in this way ; and with great consideration for the public, allowed 'various of his portraits to be exhibited in his own shop window, when extraordinary potatoes, curious turnips, and other kindred productions of nature have been scarce.
