CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS. THE accounts lately re ce i ve d f rom M acao , b roug h t intelli gence of the E ng li s h h av i ng b een totally expelled from China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between Her Majesty's forces, directed by her S u p er i n t en d en t i n person, and Chinese men of war; in other words,China is at war with England. A n d t h e quest i ons upon-which the two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust ment as to render it almost impossible, and/ertainly impro bable, that any more teas can be obtai n # f rom Chi na f or a v ery considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of that article has taken place. Si nce J une l ast, common black teas have risen is. 9d., and fine green, 3s. 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 Pidd ing 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 tells wholesale, be i s compe l led to raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock beir. g p urc h ase d by tea dealers. For the p resen t , Captain Pidding's How- QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of 6s. 9d. per lb., being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. p er l b ., when the commonest teas, since June, have advanced Is. 9d. per lb. HOWCIITA P S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER Will he sold, for th e 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. i . Captain Pidding thinks t 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 advaucedaily.____ - _ These Teas consist of Captain Pidding'i HOWQUA'S MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDE R,in Chinese Catty Packages. N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES PID DINO" is upon every genuine package. GEO. CARLYLE, Repository, 38, Bold-street, Sole Agent • for . LIVEitP6OL. Bolton .. Burnley Blackburn Bradford ...

Wakefield MORON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APE 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 alway s k ready to take advantage of the popularity of another 's invention ; and this medicine has therefore been very exten sively imitated, by Compounds possoeing 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 sym).toms. Testi m o n i a ls f r o m s e vera l me di ca l- an d other gentlemen are inserted in the bill inclosing each bottle. Sold retail, at 2s. 9d., 48. Gd., and lls. each bottle, by all respectable Medicine Vendors ; and wholesale by Barclay And Sons, and all the London Medicine Houses ; and Reimes, Edinburgh. ll.......anr.mwrwmm•Nrm••mo•ewsw.umwra••••••nllriasnnymnwvrsa.

Rylands, Esq., applied 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 come forward. Mr. Stubbs said, it might be kept a little longer, as an owner might yet be found, or the pony sold for the expenses. M r . Ryl an d s muc h feared it had already " eaten its head off," it was scarcely worth Ms. Mr. Stubbs said he was once similarly circum stanced, he found a donkey trespasbing:in his field, and could n succeeded in making an ex choat g ug e e t fo r t i • d a d o o f g i. . t The At dog the heafterwarda hung, - end left its original owner to make the best he could of the donkey.

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 invitigh estimation at the Toilet. It has has been proved, by many experiments, in restoring the Hair, when 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. 6d., and 55., with an allowance on taking three Boxes. It is also sold in Family Bottles, for the toilet, 10s. each. J. M. is daily receiving the most flattering praise, not only of the superior properties of his Oil, but also ofthe 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.

It will prevent Diseases of a Scrofulous Nature affecting the Nerves of the Head. In cases of Nervous Head-ache it is completely 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. DrABERNETHY 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 strongly im pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, that in the third volume of th e M e di ca l Society ' s Works, 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 ar 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 Eve 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 already attained, not only in this but in other countries."— Old En! , land, 11th January, 1940. " We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. a safe and powerful restorative.—Maychter Chronicli " GRIM6TONE'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 therefo re cordially recommend it to the public, Aug. 26,1838.

They intend forming a society for securing, at the next general election, the 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 least one chartist member to parliament.
