CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS. T HE accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli gence of the English having been totally expelled from China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in person, and Chinese men of war; in other words, China is at war with England. And the questions upon which the two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust ment as to render it almost iintossible, and cert a i n ly impro bable, that any more te as can e obtained from China for a ver y considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of that article has taken place. Since June last, common black teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine green, 35. per lb. Fine Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise, however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who found that they . could purchase them cheaper retail than they could buy inferior teas wholesale, lie is compelled to raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How- QUA 's MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of 6s. 9d. Der lb., being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb. - , when the commonest teas, since June, have advanced Is. 9d. per lb. HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea, is.fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter catties in like proportions. Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period, there is little doubt but tea will advance daily... ... These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUN POWDE R,in Chinese Catty Packages. N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES PID DING" is upon every genuine package. GEO. CARLYLE, Repository, 38, Bold-street, Sole Agent for' LIVERPOOL. Bolton - G. J. French, Silk Mercer.

M. respectfully solicits a trial of this inesti mable Oil, where its efficacy is not known. It is patronised by families of distinction, and held in high estimation at the Toilet. It has has been proved, by many experiments, in restoring the Hair, whed every other application had failed ; and when the Hair is on the decline, or becoming grey, it renovates and produces its original lustre. J. M. is aware that the Public are prejudiced against Hair Oils, that have no other recommendation than the advertise ments ; however, no disappointment will occur in the, use of Middlewood's Oil : the testimonials are indisputable, as submitted to Parliament. Many Oils, sold as stimulants, render the hair harsh, and are injurious in the extreme ; they clog the pores, and compress the absorbents, producing dandriff, a dry unpleasant sensation on the scalp ; but this, and every other cause of baldness, may be removed by the genuine Botanic Oil, which is of great utility in every Family. It preserves the hair and scalp from infancy to old age. Sold in Pot Boxes, 25., 3s. Gd., and 55., with an allowance on taking three Boxes. It is also sold in Family Bottles, for the toilet, 105. each. J. M. is daily receiving the most flattering praise, not only of the superior properties of his Oil, but also of the reasonable price of so valuable an article. Oil to the amount of 405., or upwards, will be forwarded free of carriage, on receipt of a post-office or other order for payment. The Botanic Oil is particularly recommended to all Public Seminaries, as it will prevent the spreading of ringworm or other cutaneous diseases, incident to the hair and scalp. Parker-street. OX ON' S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APE -IYII RIENT, for Indigestion, Bilious Affections, Casual or Habitual Costiveness, Piles, &c. &c., and as an invaluable cure and preventive of Gout. This elegant preparation of Magnesia, the result of much study and experiment, is fast superseding all other medicines of its class, and is now very generally acknowledged to be the best purgative ever introduced as a public medicine. The almost unprecedented sale which it has obtained has aroused the cupidity of many unprincipled persons, who are always ready to take advantage of the popularity of another's invention ; and this medicine has therefore been very exten sively imitated, by. Compounds possessing none of its pro perties. Purchasers can only rely upon the Government Stamp, which, in the genuine article, has " Moxon and Smith, (then co-partners,) Chemists, Hull," engraved on it. This is the only certain proof of the genuine preparation. Not being ranked amongst quack specifics, its valuable properties have obtained for it the recommendation of many members of the medical profession, (among others those of Drs. Graham and Turnbull,) and numbers of the nobility, clergy, and gentry of the land. It is universally allowed, by all who have given it a fair trial, to be superior to all other medicines as a FAMILY PURGATIVE ; and as an invaluable companion to the traveller, particularly those visiting tropical countries ; the sportsman, the delicate female, the sedentary student; and to all persons subject to irregularities of the bowels, and the disorders resulting therefrom. A. teaspoon ful taken after any excess, either in eating or drinking, will restore the tone of the stomach, and relieve all unpleasant symptoms. If taken regularly for some time previous to the usual time of experiencing a fit of Gout, it will generally prevent, and always mitigate the severity of the attack, without that injury to the constitution which is consequent upon the use of colchicum and other strong sedatives. To those afflicted by Indigestion, Bilious Disorders, Sick headache, and all other affections caused by an imperfect performance of the functions of the digestive organs, it affords a pleasant and effectual' remedy, its operation being at once effective and unattended by griping or other unpleasant symoorns. Testimonials from several medical and other gentlemen are inserted in the bill inclosing each bottle. Sold retail, at 2s. 9t1., 4s. fxl., and lls. each bottle, by all respectable Medicine Vendors ; and wholesale by Barclay and Sons, and all the London Medicine Houses ; and Raimes, Edinburgh. The number of passengers conveyed by the Glasgow and Paisley railway on Saturday amounted to 4753. HOW TO DISPOSE OF POUNDED PROPERTY.-LISt week, J. Ryla nds, Esq., appli e d to the magistrates, at Warrington, for their advice :as to the best manner he could proceed to recover the expenses incurred by him in consequence of his having pounded a poney which had been found trespassing in his fields. He had had it cried by the bellman several times and no owner had c ome f orward. Mr. Stubbs said, it might be kept a little longer, as an owner might yet be found, or the pony sold for the expe nses . M r . R y l an d s muc h feared it had already " eaten its head off," it was scarce ly worth 30s. Mr. Stubbs said he was once similarly circum stanced, he found a donkey trespassing in his field, and could not get rid of it. At last he succeeded in making an ex change for a dog. The dog be afterwards hung, and left its original owner to make the best he could of the donkey.

GRIMSTONE'S CELEBRATED EYE SNUFF, Under the patronage of ,his late Majesty, her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent, and the Lords of the Treasuryd TS universally recommended by the Faculty for its efficacy _I in removing Disorders incident to the Eyes and Head. It will prevent Diseases of a Scrofulous Nature affecting the Nerves of the Head. In cases 9f Nervous Head-ache it is complctely efficacious, and gives a Natural Sweetness to the Breath. It may be taken as frequently as other Snuffs, with the most perfect safety and gratification to the consumer. Wash the eyes every morning with warm milk and water, to remove whatever secretion may have been produced during the night. Dr. - ABERNETITY used it, and termed it the Faculty's Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum. Dr. ANDREWS also recommends its use as a preventive. (See his report when in Sunderland, published in the Times, Cheltenham Journal, and British Traveller, in Nov. 1831.) He says, " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect on the stomach, as well as the nerves of the head, from the tenacious sympathy of the membrane of the nose with the nervous system, that Grimstone's Eye Snuff, when taken frequently, must prevent any contagion entering the system, and recommends its universal adoption.

But read the following : From the John Bull, 6th May, 1839.—We copy the fol lowing from the Cheltenham Journal, being struck by its re ference to that eminent and successful oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., whose opinion touching the subject of which he treats will be read with interest. The discovery of Mr. Grimstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing influence on the nervous fabric of the head, possesses the un questionable power of relieving, assisting, and prolonging the sight even to extreme old age.—Editor. Cheltenham Journal, 22d April, 1839.—" That most emi nent oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S. was so stron g ly im pressed with the utility o f snuf f not made of tobacco, that in the third vol ume o f t h e M edical Soc.ety's Work s , page 334, this able oculist read several cases of gutta serena cured by the plentiful use of snuff. This snuff was made without the aid of tobacco, that being too great a narcotic to be used as a remedy. The anticipations of this gentlemen have been fully realised by Mr. William Grimstone, the Inventor of Eye Snuff, made from aromatic herbs, so judiciously ar ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye, ear, and the delicate organs of the head, to produce a certain cure.''—Editor. " There are; perhaps, few articles which are so universally used as snuff, and various and innumerable have been the devices to tickle our noses at the expense of our pockets, but there is only one snuff—albeit many have been attempted — which has proved of any value, or indeed realised the inten tion of the consumers. Grimstone's Eye Snuff is a delightful and fragrant compound, and possesses properties peculiarly its own ; for, unlike all other snuffs, it is really of essential and important service to persons of studious habits, and of weak and infirm sight ; and if we may judge by the numerous medical gentlemen who have borne testimony to its merits, and the many well authenticated cures it has performed, it is not undeserving of the high esteem which it has al rea d y attained, not only i n thi s b u t i n o th er countries. Old Eng land , 11th January, 1840. " We should be glad to sec this snuff in general use. a safe and powerful restorative.—Manchester Chronicle. GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUFF.—Notwithstanding the sys tem of puffing which is carried on in this vast metropolis, we rsally must claim for Mr. Grimstone the distinction of being a benefactor to his species. We have had ocular demonstra tion of the value of his snuff, which we tried out of curiosity, having at the same time a slight affection of opthalmia, which the use of the snuff very speedily removed. We therefore ''—Crawn, Aug. 26,1838. cordially recommend it to the public. " If any , testimony were wanting to prove the efficacy of Grimstone s Eye Snuff, we should be most happy to throw ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already possessed by the inventor. Literary men, and individuals accustomed to sedentary habits or long reading, will find this snuff invaluable in keeping off headache, dizziness &c. &c. —Old Mnthly Magazine, September, 1838,'p. 336 ' .

THE WEATHER.—The weather in this district continues of the most unpropitious kind : nothing but rain, and heavy rain too, accompanied by occasional cold winds, day after day. In the early part of last week a good deal of hay was housed, but since that time no progress has been made, and the grass which is cut must, we fear, be beginning to take harm.

RE-ORGANIZATION OF THE CHARTISTS. —Neither the late defeats experienced b trap chartists, nor the imprison ment of their leaders, andportation of their chiefs, have broken their spirits, or fill them with despair ; on the con trary, they are again in the field, and are collecting their scattered forces under the b anner of (as they term it) moral and passive resistance. They have already determined upon a convention being held at Manchester, and have elected de legates to sit on it. On Wednesday night they held an open air meeting on Clerkenwell Green, when a man named Spur was chosen to represent the working men of London. They intend forming a society for securing, at the next eneral 'election, th e return of such candidates as are Chartists No matter whether their favourite candidates be confident or not of being returned, the chartists will carry them to the poll, and get for them as many votes as possible. In places which return only one member, they will rely upon their own strength ; but where two members are returned, they will endeavour to join with the whig or tory party, so as to secure the return of at l east one chartist member to parliament. A fund will be immediately raised for defraying the expenses of those elections. Lovett is selected to be one of those candi dates. The London chartists are resolved to make a grand display of their strength on the occasion of the dinner 'to be g iven to Lo ve tt an d C o lli ns on the 3d of August.
