PUBLIC NOTICES

A DISASTROUS Tex.—During Oliver Cromwell's Pro-
tectorate Jamaica was taken from the Spaniards, and
ever since has been a British possession. At our ad-
vent on the island, there were sixty-five cocoa walks,
each walk or plantation comprising thousands of trees
—the Theobroma Cacao. On Charles the Second's
return we hear of, in St. James's Street and elsewhere,
chocolate-houses as well as of coffee-houses, both one
and the other being the mode, and answering to the
West-End clubs of to-day Later on we End entree-
houses stand.ug on a troader basis; and gradually a-
dapting ti_e.r pr:ces to meet the means of ail classes,
but we find 3_ 0 such records ot the prowess of chocolate;
yet it needed not to go far to find the wherefore. In
Bryan Edwaids's "litatory of the West Inches,' 3 vols.,
publisber. in 1793, we find the ditty cri cocoa made into
cakes was twelve guineas p.r cwt„ besides lls llid.
paid at the Custom louse, i.e., 480 per cent, and this
late of duty coutieued down to the end of the 18th
century, cueoa beceiniug, ctir the English mai ket, a pro-
duction not worth the growing, and Jamaica's plantations
were let fail to decay. W hen we again come upon n re-
cord, it is •n 18S2, and the duty which had I.).en stand-
ing at (3d. per pound, with an importation of uuder half
a million pouLds per annum, was forthwith reduced to
21, and nit long af.er we fiL d, ag a coincidence, that
tte horr,ceotathic doctrine of med,cine was introduced
into this country, and that c co. was spzcia ly advocated
as at rink by the I hysiciana adoptiog that mede of
treatment, an eutcemz of which being that the first
established homce)pathic chemists in r.nglaLd (now a
welt-known firm) pro, uced aap cid. ;reparation, which
only needed boiling water or milk to be at once ready
for the table. in 142, the duty was again reduced to a
penny p: r pouLd, and we find the consumption making
such way ttat the output a_ohe oh the manufacturers
above al uded to reacted in to year jult passed away

—Medical acknce in all ages has been directed to alle-
viate the many maladies incident to females, but Pro-

researches, succeedel in compounding his celebrated
Pile and Ointment which ea.body the principle
naturally designed for the relief and cure of disorders
peculiar to women of all ages and constitutien.s, whether
residing in wa,m or cold climates. They have repeatedly
corrected disordered functions wbich have defied the
usual drugs prescribed for such cases ; and still n4ore
satisfactory is it that the malady is relieved completely
and permanently.

WAR WITH CIIINA. A rise in the price of tea, will not be
serious, provided the Chinese only improve the quality;
to meet the demand for low 'mice, they resort to facing
the common growths with mineral powder, to the loss
in health & pocket of English consumers.— Good tea is
supplied by klorniman's Agents.
