CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS. r [ I IIE accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli , 1 Bence of the En g li s h having been totally expelled from China, and that hostilities had actually commenced bettren Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendrt 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 intuit as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro liable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of that article has taken place. Since June last, 'pinion black teas have risen ls. 9d_ ~ and fine green, 3 'r lb.

The late great rise, 40 wever having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who 'nund that they could purchase them cheaper retail than they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to Inise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being Tiarchased Ql l tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding s How lIITA's XlixTuitr. will be sold at the rate of Cs. rhi. per 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.

JONEi m Captain TUMMONS, Rolex,ol l6. • Shirrii, • „ STROYAN, TYEARD, and Captain PonrEtts. This valuable Institution, which has now beeri established upwards of fifty, years, claims the attention of the Merchant, the Shipowner, and the Underwriter, a s well as all other par ties interested ' in the mercantile Marine of the town of Liverpool. Hitherto it has worked silently, yet most beneficially, affording help in the time of need, in distress, and under bereavement to the widows of deceased members, and to many superanuated captains it has been a sheet anchor in their old age. Proof is given of a part of the benefits derived from it, as thirty deceased captains, who had subscribed £9OO to the Society, their widows having received, in annuities, £6OOO out of it. Other and numerous instances of its usefulness can be adduced from the minutes of its proceedings. Shipmasters, by becoming members, shew a commendable affection and consideration for their wives and families, and a disposition of care and thoughtfulness, which cannot fail to recommend , them with their employers. They secure a certain provision in old age for themselves, or for their widows and children ; and they have a beneficial interest in an honorary fund of upwards of ten thousand pounds. The widows on the books will now receive each £l2 per annum, superanuated captains £l6, and orphans 4:6 per annum, with every probability of increase in these annuities. The rules and regulations arenow under a careful revision, in order to afford, if practicable, still greater advantages to the several parties, and to extend the sphere of the useful ness of this Institution. Masters of vessels are therefore requested to inquire into the merits of this foundation ; and are called upon, as they love their wives and their offspring, as they regard thpir own interests, or as they respect the good opinion of the commer cial world, to join this most valuable Society. Merchants, Shipowners, and Underwriters, knowing the dangers to which Ship-masters are exposed by their vocation, are specially called upon to support this Institution ; and in doing so by donations or annual subscriptions, contribute towards the moral advancement of a class to whom they en trust their ships and their. merchandi d ze, and secure the prayers of the widow in her old age, an the gratitude of the orphan. Every information will be given, either by application to the several members of the Committee, or by the Secretary, at the Office of Win. Jones and Co. Wapping. By order of the President, SAML.

J FIRE INSURANCES continue to , gianted on the above plan of admitting the Insured into a participation of the Surplus at the end of every Fifth Year, from which the Public have already derived considerable returns. LIFE INSURANCES.—A Bonus has been declared on Policies, by adding to the Sums Insured, payable at the de cease of ! the Life, or an equivalent reduction of the future Annual Premiums; at the option of the Insured. This ad vantage, added to the reduced rates of Premiums, renders , the terms of this Company particularly favourable to the In sured. This Company's business is still increasing, and the esti mation in which the Institution is held, may be inferred from the fact, that, as a Fire Office, it ranks the Seventh in the Kingdom ; and, as a Life Office, the extent of its business is not inferior to that of the first-rate Companies. The Company does not pride itself on account of the large amount of Government Tax levied on the Public, in the shape of Duty on Fire Insurances paid to the Company, but rather refers, with satisfaction, to a measure in which the Insured are beneficially interested—namely, the large return Made to them out of the Premiums paid, as the following Statement of Policies, amongst many others, which are now receiving the Bonus attached thereto, in the Liverpool department, w"i prove : Policy, No. £57 15 6 29 19 2 28 19 9 28 10 1 2G 12 6 26 6 1 72,567 . 106,104 101,562 108,800 104,888 .. 109,135 AGENTS IN LIVERPOOL: - W.

ARTIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLASPS. LOOSE TEETH FASTENED. And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marmoratum. MoNs. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeo n -D en ti s t s , respect fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and inhabitants of Liver pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment permanently at No. 38, SEEL-STREE , eight doors from Berry-street. They continue to till p the cavities of De cayed Teeth with their Mineral °return, without the least pain, heat, or pressure ;it is laced into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a f seconds gets hard, pre venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well k nown t h at the l oss of Teeth arises more from this cause th an auy ot h er.

The very little support which even), .e most favoured of them have received, considering the vtealth and importance of the Town, must be accounted for, imagine, from their objects and views not having been prominently brought be fore all classes of the inhabitants. I may. just state, in corroboration of this, that there is not one -person, out of every hundred in Liverpool, who subscribes to any of the charities of the town, and not one in ten (whose names appear in the Directory) who subscribes to any of these charities, and of these it may fairly be presumed that scarcely the name of ore appears who might not subscribe something. I will now give a brief summary of the objects of the va- , rious Societies, and shall be in attendance at my Office every day, from Ten to Four o'clock, where I shall be most happy, to receive Donations or Subscriptions, large or small, to any or all of the following Associations. JOSEPH CRISP, 38, Church-street. Liverpool Protestant Association. The object of this Association is,—First, to combine in one Christian brotherhood of self-defence ali who truly love true re ligion and genuine liberty ; all who sincerely advocate the free circulation of the unmitilated and unadulterated Word of God; all who assert and defend the right of private judgment ; all whO venerate the inviolable sanctity of an oath; all real loyalists who maintain the unrivalled and universal supremacy of the King or Queen of England within these realms, and renounce, abjure, and detest any allegiance whatever - to any , foreign power or potentate. ecclesiastical or civil. This is the direct object of our Protestant Association, considered in its Scriptural foundation, and its national exercise. Our second object is, to address ourselves with earnest affection to those of our fellow-countrymen who have the misfortune still to labour under anti-scriptural and anti-national pre judices ; who are denied the free circulation of the pure word of God, and the right of private judgment ; who are taught that oaths, under certain circumstances, may and ought to be violated ; and who are commanded to yield their first and highest allegiance to a foreign ecclesiastical authority. The alarming spread of Popery, and the apathy of British Protestants, render the exertions of this Society of the most vital importance to the well-being of the country, and the con tinuance of the invaluable blessings of civil & religious liberty. The mode . of working is, by Petition, Public Meetings, and the circulation of Tracts, &c. containing useful and important information. The Association being now in active opera tion, stands much in need of increased funds. The rule of the Society constituting membership, is as follows :—" That all persons professing faith in the Holy Trinity, and being members of, or friendly to, the Established Church of Eng land and Scotland, who shall subscribe five shillings annually, or give a donation of one guinea at any one time, shall he Members of this Association." Church Missionary Society. The objects of this Society are so well known that it is needless now to recapitulate them. I would, therefore, merely add, that the deficiency in the Society's funds of nearly £ll,OOO, and the strong and urgent calls from India for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society more than ever pressing. Hibernian Society. The following facts are sufficient to show the importance of this Society in promoting the spiritual welfare of the Irish people : I.—There are in Ireland between two and three millions of Irish-speaking population, of whom two millions speak English as well ; and between five and six millions who speak English exclusively. 2.—Among the English-speaking population . who are a large majority of the Irish nation, the London Hibernian So ciety is principally employed ; while, at the same time, for those who speak Irish only, it axe ints Irish-speaking Scripture-readers, and forms, where it is required, Irish classes in its schools. 3.—lt is the principal Society to which the Irish Clergy, and Protestants in general, look for aid in establishing and maintaining their Scriptural Schools, and a far greater number of applications are received from them, in the present state of the funds, can be complied with. 4.—The number of Day-shOols is 1157, containing 91,066 Scholars, of whom 34,067 are Children of Roman Ca tholic Parents. Will you not help Ireland by supporting such a So ciety as this ? Every security is given that your money will he prudently expended. No nisi is afforded except where the Rules of the Society are abided by •, the prin cipal of which are, that the whole Sciipture shall be read in the Schools, and portions committed to memory ; and that every School shall submit to a quarterly examination by a competent Inspector, whom the Society appoints. Its plan is so cconimical that a child is.educated for a year for little more than half-a-crown. Have you thus educated a child — or, if not, will you not do it Lancashire Lord's Day Society. The sanctities of the Divine- appointment of the' Lord's Day are continually invaded from new quarters, and among increasing multitudes, by the spirit of commerce, or of worldly pleasure ; while the bulwarks of law, raised to defend them, are no more efficient for that object than the fortresses of antiquity to resist the alterations and improvements of -modern warfare. On these accounts, there seemed an abso lute necessity that the friends of religion—who feel the favour of God to be the only safety and prosperity of a people — should combine in some effort (more powerful than could proceed from individual exertions, however zealously made,) to stand in the breach against the wide and wasting flood of Sabbath violations, by the formation of a Society which should have for its object the amendment of public feeling and principle on this momentous subject—the diffusion of spiritual light upon the coMmon mind—the assistance of those who might wish for help in the high duty of keeping holy the Lord's Day—and especially of such legislators as might have Christian courage to lift up their voices in the deliberate assemblies of the nation against this great trans gression of the country. The Society's operations are carried on by the instrumen tality of placards, addresses, memorials, tracts, and petitions to Parliament. Church Pastoral Aid Society. This Society has especial claims upon the town of Liver pool, as - it is the means of providing many additional curates and scripture .readers, at an annual expense of £590, while the returns from the town for the past year were but £ll7. Surely Liverpool should, as an auxiliary, return more than she receives. The three following societies are especially devoted to the benefit of the seamen, and of those engaged in navigation on the canals, and therefore deserve the cordial support all who are connected with the shipping and commerce o this port. The IVlariner's Church Has now been established, under the patronage of the Bishop of the Diocese, for more than twelve years ; and, as far as its means will allow, is carrying out the objects of the institution with increasing benefit. But their exertions are limited, for want of further support, and owing to the necessary repairs of the church, which have: been lately effected, the Society is still involved in debt. It is, therefore, confidently hoped that the public will assist in liquidating this, and by increased subscriptions enable the committee to enlarge their sphere of usefulness, by opening schools for the children of seamen and flatmen. The Naval and Military Bible Society, and Prayer Book and Homily Society, Are also in great need of assistance. Their object is to visit the shipping, by means of an agent who is employed for that purpose, and to supply the crews with prayer-books and homilies, and copies of the Scriptures, at reduced prices; and, by a law of the Parent Naval and Military Bible Society, it is their wish to place on board every ship, flat, and steam boat, which leaves the port, a gratuitous supply of the Scrip tures, for the use of the crew (in proportion to the number of the men), where there are no means of selling them. I trust that the claims of these Societies will meet with a willing re sponse from all who are interested in the well-being of the seamen, as their funds are totally inadequate to carry out this desirable object without involving the parent society in a considerable loss. Trinitarian Bible Society. The Peculiar object of the Trinitarian Bible Society is to publish faithful Protestant Versions of the Holy Scriptures, in the Portuguese, Spanish, and German languages, in the translation of which they are already engaged : and it will be the particular design of the Liverpool Auxiliary, in addition to the ordinary modes of circulating the Word of God, to em ploy an intelligent pious persoii, as an agent, to visit the abodes of the poor and ignorant, whom there is no other means of reaching. for the purpose of inducing them to take an inte rest in the Holy Scripture, and to become purchasers by weekly or monthly subscriptions. Liverpool Jewish Institution: The object of this Institution is to provide a temporary asylum for enquiring and converted Jews, and after eighteen months experience, it has amply answered the benevolent intentions of the promoters. While the inquirer can obtain relief for a time, where he may be protected against the persecutions of his brethren, the mode of living is so plain as not to offer an inducement to false or insincere professions. Mitch good is being done ; but the funds are so inadequate, that unless friends come forward more liberally with their means, the whole institu tion must be given up. Irish Sunday School Society, To promote the establishment and facilitate the conducting of Sunday schools in Ireland, by disseminating the most approved principles for the management of such schools, by supplying them with spelling-books, and copies of the Sacred. Scriptures, or extracts, without note or comment, either gra tuitously or at reduced prices. Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews. The name of this Society sufficiently explains 'its object. It is to lead the lost sheep of the house of Israel to that Sa i viour whom they crucified. Christians are under a heavy obligation to the Jews, for it was by them that the Sacred Arolume was preserved, and to them they stand indebted for Christianity itself. But they should feel interested on their behalf, not only for the blessings of the past, but on account of the glory that is in store for the world when the Jews shall be restored to their own land. There are 50 Agents in connection with the Society, and of these, eight church clergymen and twenty-three missionaries arc converted Jews. The Society has the strongest claims upon all Christians. The whole income of all the above Societies together, in the wealthy and important town of Liverpool, with a popula tion of above 200,030 persons, amounts to little more than £3OOO. Surely there are 20,000 persons in the town (a tenth of the population), who could afford ss. per annum to the whole of the above Societies together, and this would produce £5OOO. Or, are there not ten tcongre gations, from each of which 500 persons could be foun d willing to subscribe 2s. fid. per annum to any of the above of which • they approve ; and this alone produce £5OOO. Let every one do something, be it e fi ' '.4 'e: ur t r e small, and the funds of all will shew a vast increase , end of 1840, when, God willing, I hope again to u l e t . h finan cial state of the various Societies before thep every information mean time, I shall be most happy toln n the c in ien m cy y trl respectingteabo v eas so t c h ia e tioonpse.ratiogiii7 and general effi ciency Subscriptions also received SCHOOL FOR THE SON S T HE IRISII CLERGY. fo o r the COLONI AL CHURC HOME & COLONIAL INFANT HOCIETY.SC S HOOL SOCIETY. • R.

There is nothing more remarkable in the s6cial habits of the present day, and more particularly in thOse of the past century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence in regard to health and enjoyment. H ee the vast multi tudes who, having acquired the portio fan enfeebled con stitution, are doomed to the class of h i r r tual invalids. Their i minds anxious, unsteady, or slung' , and their bodies weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously, with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange ment, the celebrated CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable. Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their constitutions and brought on a perfect labia dorsalis ; or, in their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady, the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system , obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu larity, weakness, total impotency. barrenness. &c. But the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACL3I ge nerally administers is not confined to these arents al h. one : the latitudinarian by birth, who has received from the inheritance of a diseased and un deli cate female, whom an immured and inactive life, together c t i ogether prolific frame—theisP with an immoderate use of tea and other weak on wtery all the aliments, has, without any fault of hers, and g tive habit,ra\a,re, with outm of Sv calamitous symptoms of a consumptive timely assistance, sinking into a premature ieCordial g ßal e 1 Such comforts aste a n o d f g p o l f ea a san t t h t e o thet as these, under Divine Influence, tu riacum will restore to the enjoyment life. It is universally admired, of bein smell, gently aStringes the fibres. the stomach, and gives 'eh a good digestion requires. To proper tensity whi .es. lasting To the young it will afford health, strength, and • • in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and spirits, infirm it will assuredly fu . relief and comf or t, by gently and „d e b , invigorating the system. It will not give immortality, but if it be in the power of medicine to gild the 1 autumn of declining );e_ ars, and calmly an d serene l y protrac t the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is capable of effecting this grand desideratum. The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions, arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates. The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community should never be without the Cordial Balm of Svriaetnn, which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind, mproves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.

AT a PUBLIC MEETING of Owners of Land and Warehouses, and others opposed to the Plan of the Dock Trustees for Building Warehouses on the Dock Quays, at the Clarendon-rooms, Liverpool, 13th Feb. 1840, JOHN NIONTGOMERY, Esq. in the Chair, It was moved by WILLIAM EARLE, Esq. secoaded by JOHN DRINXWATER, Esq. and ..-' se Resolved unanimously,—That this meeting viess - svfivitli great regret the recent decision of the Town Counoirsanctioning the proceeding, by the Dock Committee, in,the present session of parliament, with the bill empowering i thenisslves to erect and manage warehouses on the doek quays—a decision con trary, in the opinion of the meeting, to justice and sound po licy, and the evidence on which it purports to be founded, and tending ruinously to depress the value of private property in the town, in which some millions of money have been invested by purchasers and mortgagees, on the security of the existing laws. That the measure is called for by no neccssityer desire on the part of the public, there being already a great super abundance of warehouse room, and is opposed to the expressed opinion of most of the commercial associations. That it was not included in the recommendations of a body of nearly 300 merchants lately united for the purpose of enquiring into the best mode of managing the docks and facilitating business ; has been expressly petitioned against by 6000 inhabitants of the port ; and in the opinion of this meeting, approves itself in no single feature to the impartial inquirer Into facts. That it has been persevered in, and, for the present, been carried in furtherance of the views of a few individuals only, against the wishes of the community at large, and also against the reso lution (not twelve months ago) of the Town Council itself, ' founded upon the disapproval of its own Finance Committee, after a laborious investigation, and without any circumstance having occurred in the interim to account for so strange a va cillation of purpose on the part of that bcdy. Moved by W. P. Busitris - , Esq. seconded by JOHN FLETCHER, Esq. and Resolved unanimously—That the Land and Warehouse Owners of Liverpool, arc as anxious for, and as much in terested in the improvement of the port as the most vehement advocates of this measure profess to be, and admit as freely tile evil of delay in the loading and discharge of ships, and the necessity of some effectual remedy, but they maintain that this remedy will not b e f oun d in the erection of warehouses, and is at all events attainable with infinitely less expense and no injustice, by other means, upon the ne cessity and propriety of which the whole commercial com munity are agreed, that is to say, by the construction of transit sheds, and the adoption of various improvements lately recommended by the body of merchants already -alluded to, and by the said Finance Committee, in their report to the Town Council. Moved by JOHN CROSTHWAITE, Esq., seconded by THOMAS MURRAY, Esq., and Resolved unanimously—That even admitting for the sake of argument, (though denying the fact of,) the expediency of dock warehouses, the proposal that they shall be erected and managed by the Dock Trustees, is a monstrous in justice, altogether unprecedented in this country, as it would enable that body, building at the public expense upon land costing them nothing, and therefore requiring no return in the form of rent, and without personal responsibility, or any other stimulus to gond• management, to compete with, or rather ruinously to depreciate the property of persons who have bought land from these same Dock Trustees (the Cor poration) at very high prices, and under express restrictions to build warehouses only thereon, and with various en couragements to landowners generally so to build, held out by the Corporation, amounting to n moral pledge that that body would never themselves become warehouse holders; and because, also, the establishment of such a monopoly as this, is opposed to every sound principle of policy ; and must, for obvious reasons, encumber and harass, rather than relieve the shipowner and merchant, and necessarily increase the present very high dock rates, by the enormous expense of the project. .Moved by JAMES BRANCKER, Esq., seconded by WIL LIAM Mclven, Esq., and Resolved unanimously—That the very essence and vital principle of the London Dock Warehouse system, with whiCh (as an argument for the present scheme) that of Liverpool is often disadvantageously compared, consist in the fact that the London Docks and Warehouses are private, not public property, purchased and erected by the Owners with their own money, and managed, therefore, at their own risk, and in daily competition with powerful and vigilant rivals ; and so far are the Land and Warehouse Owners of Liverpool from being adverse to the introduction of this system, that they court such fair competition of interests, and would ne ver have opposed the construction of Dock Warehouses here, if it were part of the plan that they should be erected and managed, as in London, by individuals or companies, to whom the Dock Trustees should sell the land for that purpose, at its full and fair value, and at properly extended periods, as an adequate demand arose, in the same manner as the exist ing warehouse property of the town has been purchased and built, and they anticipate with confidence the affirmation by Parliament of this plain and undeniable principle of common justice. Moved by JOHN SHAW LEIGH Esq., seconded by J. A. JEE, Esq.. Resolved unanimously—That for these and many other reasons not compressible into the form of resolutions, the committee are hereby authorized to take the most effective measures for'opposing the bill in both Houses of Parliament, and that for this purpose the residue uncollected of the rate of three per cent. on the annual value of the warehouse pro perty of the town, agreed to be raised at the last general meeting, to be forthwith collected by the Treasurer, with the assistance of the Committee. Resolved also—That a Petition, embodying the substance of these resolutions, be forthwith presented to both Houses of Parliament, odd that these Resolutions be published at the discretion oflhe Committee.

THE STOCKPORT VIADTICT.—This wonderful undertaking of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway Company;jia this borough, is proceeding sufficiently fast to realise the 9:er. fection of it within the term of the contract, notwithstanding the difficulties which have twice attended the prop.esi of the river arch. All the arches, except one, on the Lancashire side are turned, so that 10 of the 63 feet arches may-be said to be almost completed ; whilst the stone piers for two others, on the Cheshire side, are ready to receive the superstructure, and the brickwork for the two small arches at the extremity of the viaduct, like those at the Lancashire end, is rapidly proceeding to a termination. Twelve of the twenty-six' arches may therefore be said to be pretty well out of the hands of the workmen, and another eix months will see the perfection of one of the most gigantic productions of art of-a similar character in the kingdom.—Stockport ildrertiser. • NOVEL MODE OF CONVEYING A.
