ADDRESS OF THE LIVERPOOL ASSOCIATION REDUCTION OF THE DUTY ON TEA TN again calling public attention to the present oppressive and impolitic tax upon Tea, the Association are anxious to give prominence m those facts which indicate the necessity for an ►mmediate reduction of the day. The conclusion of the treaty with China encouraged confiden expectations of the extension of our trade with that Empire It was reasonably anticipated that the low rate of duty impose( by its Government upon British Manufactures, would be re ciprocated by a correspondingliberality in the admission , of On staple production of the Chinese for the use of ourselves. The elements of agricultural industry essential to the production of Tea—the fertile and extensive territory, and tile superabundant population of China, estimated at above 11;000,000—are capa. ble of enlarging its supply in ara ' t least equal to that in which the machinery of our m ifacturers can increase the production of fabrics required-for exportation. Our imports• tions from China have nev yet reached four per cent. of the entire production of th country - , according to the. best calcu. lotion. It is, however, a/trotorious fact, that . the expectations thus cherished have been disappointed. The merchantsare 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 in China for less than the cost of their production here. The popylation at large are uribenefited by any practical result ac cruing from a treaty which has left behind it a tax upon British industry, which at the same time confers a bonus upon foreign competition. _ _ _ There is no difficulty in ascertaining the causeof 60 disas trous an issue. The pressure of an impost, unprecedented in any other tariff, cripples the operations of our merchants, and 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 Exchequer. 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 is mischievous in its results, stops at once thetide 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 Un 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 Government. 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 more than an occasional luxury, and has impeded its consump tion among ourselves, where its 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 would 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 gratuitous conjecture, but a reasonable deduction Trom 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 £i3 Its. 73d. per cent. and 4s. per lb. to .t:18 18s. 70. per cent. and Is. per lb. The consumption immediately advanced nearly .50 per cent. In 1784, the duty ..was reduced from .z 55 15s. 10d. per cent. and Is. Id. 4-sths per lb. to 121 per cent. The consump tion was at once more than doubled. In 1785 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 price of the article has, however, been followed by an increase in its consumption. - . The present consumption of Tea iii this country amounts to an average of about 131 b. per head per annum for the entire population. This is about-one-fourth of the allowance usually aftorded to domestic servants in families of the middle classes; 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 lass favourable to its use. What ever test may be applied to our present consumption, it will pui n+l sr 4r. Ins •AN. s. s Aa& + o,Pli h‘r the artifirial limi tit of 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 or corporeal exercise. 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 order to cover their investments in its pur chase, three times the profit which would repay them, were the article free of duty. The public have thus to pay a tax upon a tax ; the magnitude of the impost, in the first instance, being indefensible and oppressive. , Were the duty reduced to Is. per lb., the consumer would obtain at least albs. of Tea for the same money that he now pays for 2110. ' • 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 increased quantity of Tea at Is., would _at once yield a revenue of about tile the futitre enlargement of this source of publiC income light 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 dissuasives 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. WILLIAM NICOL, Chairman, Liverpool, November, 1846 STREET RonBERY.—At' the Police-court, yesterday. three men. Thomaii Wilson and two others, were charged with knocking doWn and robbing, in Whitley-street, a man of LI Is. The offender named could alone be identified, and he was committed for trial. The other tWO:Wer4o-naccuaitrarily discharged.. _ The workmen in the employ of Messirs. 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 place at the Concert-hall, on Monday next, the 30th instant. The attractions are great, Mr. Sunderland and Miss Whitnall, Mr. Ryalls and Mr. Lunt, and last, though not least, John Parry, the side shaking John, the inimitable John. Who would not hear him ? The programme is excellent ; but John Parry does not announce his songs, which would signify 'that he will treat the Liverpool public with something new. BRITISH WHALE AND SEAL FISidING COMPANY.— The advertisement announcing this important project will be found in another column. It offers the fairest prospects of being amply remunerative to the proprietors, and is founded on an excellent plan. Whales are abun dant in the Arctic regions, and if the business of capturing them be systematically pursued, no doubt very large pro fits will be realised. The prospects of the company are very flattering, and the promoters are gentlemen of the very highest respectability. fIIE BOHEMIAN BAND.—This talented corps of musicians are staying, during their sojourn here, at Whiteman's, Brunswick Hotel, where they' have been daily visited by numbers of strangers and admirers of harmony. They have, during the past week, been earn ing the admiration of the genuine lovers of fine music. The clarionet playing of Herr Sobraon, and violincello concertante of flerr Grosse, have drawn down thunders t o t f r a e p et p , w lause. The efficiency of the whole company, in. deed, is firstrate , both as solo players sad as a band.

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, although none have advocated more earnestly than our selves the importance of such a supply being procured. Before taking; or even pledging ourselves to approval of, any step in a matter of so grave a nature, involving, in whatever direction it may be made, a large outlay of th e public money, we have felt it our duty to pause—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. Hawksley's proposal to bring water from Riving ton Pike. The latter the committee have decided upon, at least so far as making the necessary preparations for 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 favour 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 relied upon for such a purpose. The attempt to collect such a supply amongst the swamps and ditChes of Riving ton Pike would, moreover, to 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,' bore 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, cteap water as well as abundance ; and here is an instance, in which it is not, as in ordinary cases, the fact that abundance is the parent of cheapness. The 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 -.,,a-v.tcutoting-tne cost - or working at all, we snoutd - have to pay six and eightpence per 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. The natural course then, as we intimated last week, is. o examine first the extent of our present resources, and the possibility which exists of in creasing them, so as to serve the purposes which we have . 1 I in view. The public—a'd 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 parliament—viz.: affording water, at stated intervals, to 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, LATEST FO REIGN AND AL NEWS INDIA. THE OVERLAND MAIL.

FOUR DATE LATER FROM LISBON The Polyphemus, steam-sloop of war, Commander M'Cleverty, arrived at Portsmouth, on Saturday evening, in four days, from Lisbon, with despatches for government. The city was quiet. No action bad taken place, up to the 16tb, 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-sett/0 tliair 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 the Tagus on the 16th. The force consisted of the Hibernia, Trafalgar, Superb, Albion, Rodney, Canopus, Rattler, Cyclops, and Phenols. The Nautilus had got under weigh, just as the Polyphemus left, for Oporto, but anchored at Belem, on account of adverse wind.

One of the editors of the Mercury—perhaps the writer of the paragraph—lns 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.

The report (an ably drawn up document), which was read by Mr. James Stonehouse, the secretary, entered at large into the advantage s of the institution, and the increasing favour with which it is being regardtd by the public, as 'evidenced by the in creased 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, unpra 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-in 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 Land, tney nave effected much good, Whffst the sight Of the distress which has come under their eyes has rrompted 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 smell fee, and being examined strictly by the medical officers, are recommended, if found worthy characters, to parties re quiring their services. The school for muses and mid wives 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 tbeir views, they have been promised the co-operation of the Rev. Canon M'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 M`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 all 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. Mr. Troutbeck, of Hanover-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. Fairbairn. During the past year there had been relieved, as in terior patients, 46 English, .5 Scotch. 44 Irish, and b Welsh married 'moles, their ages varying froat )2 to 39 years—two only being of the former age.
