PITIISBELL, Cornhill, City, AGENT .for HORNIMAN'S PURE as well as FINE TEA, which combines every advantage that this favourite beverage can furnish. Many who were unable to indulge In the necessary luxury of a Cup of Tea, front the leaf being so frequently covered with powdered colours, are now enabled to drink with relish and benefit 11011NIYAN'S Puaa and 1 7 not TEA. The " Quarterly Re view," Afarch,lBss, "Blackwood's Magazine, " Jan. 1854, "Times," " Lancet," Pro. Johnston's "Beverages we infuse , " all condemn the perniei nu practice of colouring Tea. HORNIMAN & CO'S. PURE as well as FINE TEA is a restoration - of the approved old-fashioned supply. Before the Hon. East India Company's trading Charter expired, the Tea imported as the best, was invariably good; but, when the Tv.s-Inspi crofts were withdrawn from Canton, the Chinese, with a view to obtain an increased price for the common Bohea, commenced to make-up this flavourless Autumn gathering, to imitate the choice Spring sorts. Bohea tea is therefore, now never imported AS BORBA ; each season the whole gathering arrives "faced" with colour to make it appear like the best, for which it is sold, greatly / to the loss and disappointment of the consumers here. If the use of injurious colours on Tea, were disallowed, it would be impossible to substitute the brown withered leavos for the true black leqf Spring sorts. Iloarauio: & Co. have therefore, introduced the most approved varieties, without any artificial colouring powder on the surface, in which old fashioned pure state their Teas are more even in quality, more rich and full in flavour, and prove in nse the strongest and cheapest. Da. has writes, "The Teas seen by me in the Docks, imported by " lloarmasx & Co. are easily distinguishable from the usual coloured " sorts; the Green, being free from the artificial blueish colouring, is of an "olive hue, and the Black has not that intensely black appearance often seen : "both kin ds are Pure and Wholesome."

T ___________________________ O THE VISITORS O F LONDON. —Amongst the sights of London, there is none more useful and attractive than the BOWER OF L ondon, tare surrounded by the sunny sky of the ea s t, listening to the murmur ing of the waters, you can have your hair cut ; while having your hiar dressed by first-rate artists, either English, French, or.ltalian. you can enjoy the tale of Telemachus in the Grotto of Calypso ; in sight of the inimitable Mentor and his pupil you can have your head shampooed in the limpid waters of the Adriatic, always using brushes clean from the limpid stream. So great an influence has the fair Island, that heads and whiskers white with premature age do not leave the Bower with out being restored to their natural colour of brown or black, or when the hand of time has destroyed the luxurious tresses of youth, the invisible fibres of Calypso, will restore them to their former beauty.
