CAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE TEA is an admixture of 40 rare Black Teas, produced on .as many different plantations, each Tea differing from the rest, and possessing a flavour, a fragrance, or strength, peculiar to itself. Blended together in the proper proportions, they corn prise all that is desirable in Tea. This discovery was not the effect of chance, but of many great advantages united in one individual, and the result of numerous experiments and the most minute analysis. For another to produce the same result. ne must possess equal skill, the same discriminating taste, equal power of procuring the forty various Teas required, and know the exact proportions of each kind used—and though he may never once have visited China, he must have had equal oppor tunities of securing to himself its productions : with one who, like Captain Pidding, has spent years there in acquiring these advantages, and to whom alone Howqua—years before his death —imparted, at Canton, the secret of compounding his Mixture. Yet there are upwards of 500 retailers pretending to sell Tea, they call "Howqua's Mixture"—each mixture differing from all the others. Now as there can b e b u t ONE REAL "H owqua ' s Mixture," it follows that, as 500 different medleys are offered -499 must be spurious. The 499 .couhterfeith are so menu zcsio LIU ninny dences of the superio r ity o f the ONE GENUINE. And it would be absurd to suppose that Captain Pidding, with advantages, the result of Eight Voyages made to China, and five years spent in that country, would be so silly—even were it possible —as " to yield them u n t o 500 othArg_ Captain PIDDING has appointed the under Agents for this District : GEORGE CARLYLE, REPOSITORY, 38, BOLD-STREET, Agent for Liverpool.

It will be remem bered that the only points remaining for decision related first to the opposition of the Commissioners of Birken head, the object of which was to obtain a landing stage at George's Pier, for the exclusive use of the ferry steamers ; . and next to the petition signed by 300 merchants, brokers, and others, represented by Mr. Eyre E vans , w h ose ob ject was to obtain powers for the erection of warehouses round all the dock quays. The Marquis of Northampton was chairman of the committee, all the members of which were present. The Dock Trustees were represented by Mr. Talbot, Mr. Austin, Mr. Sergeant Bellasis, and Mr. Venables ; the Commissioners of Birkenhead by Mr. Hildyard and Mr. Webster; the merchants, brokers, &c., by Mr. I Sergeant Wrangharn and Mr. Birchen,. On Thursday, Mr. Sergeant BELLASIS opened the rese for the promoters of the landing -stage projected by Mr. Cubitt, to be moored off St. George's Pier. The Com missioners of Birkenhead had had the privilege conceded to them of opening their case. This question is so tho roughly understood in Liverpool, that there is no use in entering again upon its merits. It is sufficient for the present purpose to say, that by this enormous structure the Dock Trustees propose to accommodate all classes of steamers, and to enable passengers, carriages, and h orses to land at all times of the tide. Mr. Hartley and Mr. Mann were examined to show the advantages of the plan, after which the committee ad journed till the following day. On Thursday, Mr. John B. Hartley, Mr. Cubitt, Mr. Bramley Moore, and Lieut. Lord were examined. Mr. Moore's evidence was principally directed against an al ternative clause proposed by Mr. HILDVARD, to the effect, that if the proposed landing stage were fixed off George's Pier, and it were found inconvenient for the ferry traffic, the Mayor cf Liverpool, and the Chairmen of the Quarter Sessions of Lancaster and Chester, should be empowered to decide what further accommodation should he given. Mr. HtLDYARD then summed up the case for the com missioners of Birkenhead in a very neat speech, in which he contended that the stage might be safely and conveni ently moored off the south end of Prince's Pier, and where it would amply accommodate all the large traffic, whilst a smaller stage might be placed off St. George's Pier, for the traffic of the ferries, to which situation they were entitled. The learned counsel concluded by pressing two clauses on the committee; first, that the ferry traffic should be exclusively accommodated at St. George's Pier (Clause A) ; then if the committee decided against that clause, the alternative clause, that in case the accornmoda -tfficient. the Mayor of Liverpool, and shire and Quarter Sessions horize whatever further ac Co be itt.

Their lordships would recollect that on Friday last, certain suggestions were made by his learned friends on the other side, as follow : First apply for a!1 the dock quays —That the tru=tees should be bound within two years to wcrs to authorize them to erect warehouses upon Second ,—Th4t a dance should be inserted in the present bill to the effect that they should riot construct the Wapping Dock, or commence it, before they had obtained those powers.

As far as his clients were' concerned, they had consulted their constituents, who had passed a resolution concerning it, which be would read. This resolution was the one agreed to at the special meeting of the Dock Committee, on Monday last, (yesterday week,) and it recited that in the 57th and 58th clauses of the Act 4th Victoria, a certain agreement had been made with the warehouse interest. = that the warehouse interest had withdrawn the restrictions imposed by the 57th section, but not those in the 58th ; and it then proceeded to resolve, that, in the opinion of the committee, any clause pr o p ose d to be inserted in the Dock Bill to alter the restrictions imposed by the 58th clause, should be resisted upon the ground that it infringed the protection intended by the legislature for the warehouse interest. His clients had, as he said before, been down to their constituents, who said to them, " If you did make such an offer, you went beyond your powers." His clients, therefore, were now called upon to resist an in fringement of the agreement with the warehouse owners, for the warehouse owners never intended that more than the 57th clause should be withdrawn—certainly not the restrictions in the 58th. The promoters, therefore, could not propose a clause which should over-ride an agree ment which they admitted to be binding and in force. They were, however, willing to submit to a clause not to proceed with the Wapping Dock until the whole of the warehouses round Albert Dock were completed; second, not to pull down any warehouses except for the purposes of new streets until the same period; and third, within two years to apply for parliamentary powers to build warehouses upon the quays - of all the docks made sub sequently to the Albert Dock. Having made an agree ment with the warehouse interests his clients felt they were bound to adhere to it. The Directors,'in order to facilitate the production at the Meeting of the necessary proportion of the Company's Stock, in approval of the Bill, so as to have it read a third time and passed, have instructed the sever a l S ecre t ar i es : Thomas Ward, Bridge-street, Belfast; James Stevenson, Northern Bank, Downpatrick ; John White, 30, North G eorge - street, D u b l i n ; James Bryden, 19, Moorgate-street, London ; to take charge of such Scrip, or Bankers' Receipts, as may be intrusted to them to produce, and for which an accountable Receipt, on behalf of the Company, will be given by the Secre tary receiving the same, fo r its immediate return after the Meeting.

SLEEPING Ar ni POST.—A good deal of alarm was created in Lord-street, Stockport, about six o'clock on Monday evening, from the following circumstance : Parties were removing to a house which had recently been empty, before doing which tiny took the precaution of having the chimneys swept. For this purpose a junior member of the sooty profession was engaged, who mounted up aloft, and was of cause expected down again after the completion of his work. Time, however, went on, and still he did not appear, until it occurred to the parties that he had been up the chimney an unusully long time, and, as all was quiet, the worst appreben sions began to be entertained. The inference was, that he was "fast in the chimney," and as a rumour to that (fleet became circulated, the alarm spread on all hands We believe the boy was up the chimney about half-an hour to three-quarters, during which time many pel•sons shouted up it to the top of their voices, but without re ceiving an answer. At last the boy's master was fetched, who ascended the chimney, and there found the boy 'com fortably ensconsed in a cross flue, " fast asleep•" Of course the alarm at once subsided, and laughter and as tonishment at the boy's temerity took the place of the previous consternation.n/lianchester Examiner. Mr. TALBOT wished to — add, that in point of fact the promoters found themselves unable to go beyond the point just stated by his learned friend, as a matter of good faith towards the warehouse owners, or to suggest any thing else. Their lordships should know that in dealing with the warehouse interest of Liverpool, they were not dealing with the interests of an insignificantelass, but one in which it was not too much to say that millions were involved. The CHAIRMAN.—We cannot enter into those consi derations now. The committee, in considering this bill. must go upon public grounds, without reference to private parties wbo are not before us. TIIE FLORENTINE MODELS.—Those of our reaciersi who have not yet visited these beautiful works of art, should not omit to do soimmediately, as they are about to be removed at the end of the present week, and they again have the opportunity of passing an hour so instructive soon again. Mr. BIRCHAAI said the principal grounds upon which his learned friends 'now sought 'to back out of the sug gestions which they themselves had made, was, that they ad not the consent of the warehouse interest —that they ered an agreement with that body, so th a t i t ecepted proposals may n ith tows 'IHE .1. —The lov not freque by looking may eni a treat over the , a, Bn/d_ re opposed.

It was proposed to pull do in lieu: was' only 5 4 000 feet upon one of the sides ana. as no charge is ir of Albe KEYS'S red to viii Mr. Serjeant BEir,Asis said it had been proved in evi dence, tbAt the warehouses propoied to be erected irnme diately, in order to complete the Albert Dock quays, would be five times more than the space proposed to be pulled down. The CHAIRMAN said a good deal of contradictory evi dence had been given on this subject. Mr. BIRCHAM repeated his assertion, and added that what was now proposed by the promoters was in reality nothing. They now proposed a clause binding themselves to apply for powers within two years to build warehouses round all the docks made subsequently to Albert Dock, whilst the fact was there was no necessity for such powers, inasmuch as there was no restriction upoa them in this respect. The Chairman.—They must have an act to get the money ; they could not build warehouses round the new docks without money. Mr. BlRCHAM. — Undoubtedly, they must apply for powers to raise money to build them. But by this clause they merely apply to parliament for powers, whereas they had the power already. The learned counsel proceeded to argue that he was only contending for the propositions submitted by the promoters themselves, and concluded by calling upon the committee either to reject the preamble of the bill, or so much of it as related to the construc tion of additional docks ; or, if they decided upon neither, to do what was only an act of justice to the petitioners, viz., authorise the insertion of clauses which would carry out to the fullest extent the proposals made last Friday by the learned sergeant on the other side. . Mr. TALBOT humbly suggested to the committee that interests were at stake on this bill far too vast and mo mentous to admit of being dealt with without the most serious deliberation. Their lordships would not, he thought, permit their decision to be the result of a casual mistake. It was clear that, from some cause, his learned friend, Mr. Sergeant Bellasis, had stated that which he was not authorised to state, and that which those who in structed him said was contrary to their own wishes, and contrary to their plighted faith to the warehouse owners. His learned friend seemed to have made—for he (Mr. Talbot) was not in the room at the time—a proposal with regard to all the docks, which he ought to have confined to all the docks erected subsequently to the Albert Dock. From this there was no wish to recede. It was but due to Mr. Moore to state, that the moment Mr. Sergeant . Bellasis made the statement, be made an effort to commu nicate with their lordships, but it was resisted by Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, and their lordships thought it right not to hear him at that time. Lord CARRINGTON said he recollected observing this was the case. Mr. TALBOT.—If their lordships had heard Mr. Moore then, they would have heard a prompt disclaimer of the proposition of his learned friend. As the warehouse own. ers were not present, or in opposition to the bill, and as the facts were as had been stated, their lordships surely would not behind their backs force clauses upon the promoters necessarily prejudicial to that important in terest. The clauses were necessarily prejudicial, because the promoters were willing to bind themselves to apply for powers to construct warehouses upon the quays of all docks made subsequently to the Albert Dock. His learned friend spoke of this offer as delusive ; but he could not have meant to say that the power of building ware houses round all the new docks was delusive, when it in. eluded the new dock at Wapping ; besides which the pro moters engaged not to pull down or rather construct the Wapping Dock until they had obtained powers to build warehouses round all the new docks. Under all the circum stances he trusted their lordships would consider the clause which he proposed satisfactory to all parties. The question was, whether, having inadvertently proposed an other clause, they were to be tied up to it, and snapped into much larger concessions, which were contrary to good faith, and calculated to be seriously prejudicial to a very important interest in tnn-tn..... ,sr The room was then cleared ; and, after an absence of half an hour, the parties were called in, when The CHAIRMAN said—The Committee have considered the whole of this question, and they have determined, — First, that the preamble of this bill is proved; Next, that they have passed the clauses, (proposed by Mr. Bitcham,) only they:make it imperative for the true tees to come to Parliament for powers in two years instead of one ; and T ARVIN II A L L NEAR CHESTER For the Education of One Hundrec under the sunerinterulane, and folloiring resident Masters: PR'nutria—JOHN BItiNDLEY, of Magdalen College Cam• !iridge ; M.A. of the University of Clipg.p.. ........, .....catai i Jormerty second Master . of the Grammar School, Brigg, and Head Master of the Oldswinsford Hospital Endowed school, 'Worcestershire.

The foundation stone of " St. Mary Magdalen's Asy. lout" was laid at Woolton, on Thursday, by Dr. Brown, " V.A." of the Lancashire district. On Saturday, Mr. Adam Gladstone was elected a member of the Dock Committee, in the room of Mr Smith, deceased. Mr. Ritson was pat in nination, an polled thirty votes ; M r . Gladstone numbering seventy three. AUSTRALIAN WHEAT.—A bunch of Australian wheat was exhibited in the Exchange News-room this week. It was grown on the farm of Mr. Harold Littledale, Egre mont, and was sown in the first week of December. The length of the stalk is about five feet, and the ears are par ticularly fine and lull. VALUE OF SOOT.—At a meeting of the master chimney sweeps, on Friday, resolutions were passed preparatory to the uniform scale of the fates at which soot will in future be charged, as the demand for that fertiliser is expected to be much increased in consequence of the discovery by Professor Liebig that soot is a perfect antidote to the po tato disease. PRINCE ALBERT.—The wish of the committee is, that the banquet may take place on Thursday, the .30th of July, and the laying of the foundation-stone of the Stfilors' Home on the following day. The prince on the same day (Friday) is expected to open the Albert Dock. We have reason to believe that the proceedinirs, throughout, will be on a scale of magnificence never before witnessed -in Liverpool. Mr. Lynn, of the Waterloo, has been orderd to provide a banquet for 250 guests. It is said that on the occasion of Prince Albert's visit to Liverpool he will visit Chester, and be the guest of the very Rev. the Dean (Dr. Anton.)

The above includes all the pig-iron sent to Grangemouth in scows, or otherwise. Large quantities are shipped, especially to Liverpool, under the denomination of a gene ral cargo, wh:ch are not included in the above statement. CHEAP WHITRWASH.—Foor poor people, we quote the following cheap mode of whitewashing, viz. :—" Put half a peck of lime into a tub ; pour in some water by degrees, and stir it well with a stick that is broad at one end. When the lime and water are well mixed, and the thickness of mud, strain it through a sieve into another vessel, when it will settle to the bottom ; skim off the little water that remains at the top, and when you are going to use it, mix it up with cold water to the thickness of thin paint." A small quantity of size, very thin, should be also added with it—or buttermilk will do. MR. ROWLINSON'S ILLUSTRATIONS OF ENGLISH SONG.—On Saturday evenine. this eentleman rave a lee- wmi Illustrations, upon the titstory of the Engh Ballad, at the Concert-ball, which, considering the e treme heat of the weather was well attended. Mr. R. new as an- exhibitor of his attainments in public, this bei dently a large acquaintance With the principles and schools of English music, considerable power in placing his views before an audience, and sang most of his 'well-selected budget of melodies very tastefully. His next lecture, we observe, is to be upon the Scottish Ballad. THEATRE-ROYAL, ADELPHL—The Misses Cushman have been engaged at this popular little theatre during the last week, and have performed some of their best im personations. Of the Romeo and Juliet of these ladies we have already spoken, as well as of the Meg Merrilies of Miss Cushman. We had an opportunity on Thursday of seeing the Lady Macbeth of the latter lady —an equally great performance with her gipsy woman. Misi Cushman pourtrays to admiration, and her figure and styli afford I her aids to do so, the stern and ambitious wife of the nor thern thane ; and, in some portions of the piece, electrifies her audience with the passion and startling power of her acting. Mr. G. V. Brooke's personification of Macbeth was, with a few inequalities and faults, a fine effort. SHOOTING AT A POLICEMAN.—On Friday; . a stripling, who gave his name as James 14laydew, was placed before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of attempting to shoot at police officer No. 625, on the previous night. It'appeared that' at a late hour on the previous evening, the officer found the prisoner in Bootle-lane in the act of dressing. himself in a shirt over his clothes. He entered into conversa tion with him, and be. not giving a satisfactory account of himself, the officer asked what he had in his pockets. when the prisoner said—" I'll let you knOvr, you b—h." took out a pistol, and presented it to the officer, who knocked him down, and assistance being procured, he was deprived of his murderous weapon, which, however, proved to be loaded with powder only. In the pocket of the prisoner was found another pistol, and a book entitled " The lives of all the notorious highwaymen and robbers." There was also found two pawn-tickets of goods pledged at Bristol, and in consequence of some dark hints he had given about himself, he was remanded for a week. WEST DERBY HOTEL AND BOWLING-GREEN. 7-011 Thursday evening last, the opening of the bowling-green attached to Mr. Fielding's, the Derby Hotel, Zoological Gardens, was, celebrated by a number of gentlemen, friends of the host, by a dinner sumptuously provided by that gentleman, in the large and elegant room of the'esta vbilaisal it comprisedhe tableallthe he was luxurieslaid out f tvery season;tastefu tastefully , ; and ; til thee wines, & Were of the best quality and flavour.
