THE NOVEMBER CIRCULAR
OF THE
LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN TEA

COMPANY.

THE Company's SELECTIONS OF THE NEW SEASON'S TEA ARE
NOW SELLING at Old Postoffice-place, Liverpool.
The BEST CoNeous arrived of this Crop are of the Kaisow
kinds, which we directed public attention to last year.
The MONI NOS. or strong full-bodied Congous, ARE NOT SO FINE
as previous imports.

The MONI NO districts are now largely occupied by the Rebels,
and this may account Why the FINEST TEAS OF THE SEASON 1854
are now only finding their way through to the coast.
We are happy to inform our Customers that WE HAVE SECURED
SOME OF THESE. They are REMARKABLY FINE, finer than any
we have hitherto sold.

Congous are better adapted for consumption in Liverpool, on
account of the HARDNESS of the water.

But where sOFTER water is attainable, we recommend our
SOUCHONOS and OOLONGS, whose MELLOW and EXQUISITE
flavour are not properly extracted by hard water.

To give our Customers an opportunity of tasting the FINEST
of the new Season's Congou, we shall sell it at 4s. per lb.
It does not pay us; but it is as much as it is worth.
Our FINE OLD MONINOS AND KAISOWS we sell at the SAME
PRICE, and they are IMMEASURABLY SUPERIOR.

By order of the Company,

JOHN L. SMITH.

PRonucE.---Nothing doing in Sugar, and prices are
not quoted. For Coffee a fair demand at steady rates.
New Tea has been sold at prices ruling from 10 -d. to
2s„ Tor other descriptions little or no demand. For
Rice:a less inquiry, and prices 6d. lower. Palm Oil
Till. Tallow flat. TO-DAY, no change has taken
placeik the state of our market for Sugar or Molasses,
and we are still without any business to report in
either. Rum and Coffee are also neglected. The Tea
market ;is quiet, but in prices there is no alteration.
150 tons yellow cargo Rice have been sold to arrive at
13s. 6d. .per cwt., and 700 bags Calcutta Bapeseed also
for arrival, to price of which is not reported. We
have further to notice 140 bags Pimento at 41d. per
lb., 30 tons Barwood at £5 12s. 6d., and 6 tons African
Ebony at £4 10s. per ton.
WooL.---The ;market has been rather more animated
during the past meek, and a fair business has been
done in every description of good, clean, useful Wools,
at rather improved rates. Egyptian, fine Turkey,
Sfax, &c., have been much sought after, and late ar-
-1 rivals have sold freely, There is also rather more
inquiry for Donskoi fleece. In low Smyrna, Barbary,
&e., there is nothing doing; and, indeed, manufac-
turers would not buy these descriptions even at a
considerable reduction from the prices now asked.
Imports for the week, 4,029 bales Mediterranean,
2,091 Peruvian, 199 Iceland, 45 Buenos Ayres, 19
Irish, 8 Scotch, and 19 coastwise ; total, 6,410.
METALS,--There is no change to notice in this market
with the exception of Pig Iron, which, towards the
close of the week, became very buoyant, and a very
large amount of business was done at 795, per ton
cash, and 80s. open.

Hogg's Instructor. Edinburgh : James Hogg.

The November number of this periodical
literary miscellany is a fair average specimen of
the publication. Though never rising so high as
to brush its wings upon the craggy summits of
Parnassus, it soars at a sort of middle altitude,
which it occasionally so far exceeds as to catch a
glimpse of the " poetic land," clear over the
" lion crest" of Arthur's Seat, and sustains such
an elevation as to be rarely, if ever, infected by
the foetid mists which rise from Craigentiny. A
popular periodical it is, in the best sense of the
term, and as such, it skims its way into the
family circle of many a quiet snuggery, which
would close every aperture against the intrusion
of a more ambitious work. Its contents are in
general varied and amusing, while it sometimes
emerges into the realms of a more elevated litera-
ture. The utile et dulce, both in moderate de-
gree, appear to be its aim ; and that aim is most
respectably carried out.

The Christian Family Advocate. Edinburgh :
Murray and Stewart.
The December number of this periodical
maintains its place as a safe repertoire of family
reading. Aberrant rays it does, indeed, occa-

GENERAL LEVY OF POLES IN RUSSIA.
The Times Vienna correspondent writes on the Bth that
the general levy is now going on in Poland, and the peasants
are driven together "as is game at a battue." Poland is one
great theatre of misery ; but the peasants have begun to die.
play the energy of despair, and refuse to work for the rro-
Prietors gratuitously. The same insubordination is said to
prevail in several other Russian provinces.

Our SHARE MARKET has been pretty active !luring
the past week, and the tendency of prices is still
towards improvement. The public have bought some
large amounts of Leeds, Sheffield, and other stocks,
and these, consequently, are scarce for delivery.
London stock has also participated in the general im-
provement ; Dutch Rhenish, too, are again in demand.
Local stocks steady at the quotations. This day's
prices are---Caledonians, 281 1 71 ; Eastern Counties,
81 ; East Lancashire, 171 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire,
771 1 18 ; London Stock, 941 4 ; Manchester, Shef-
field, and Lincoln, 231; Midland Stock, 641 1 1 1 ;
North British, 7 5-16 ; South Eastern, 17 7-16 / ;
Dutch Rhenish, ;d; Crystal Palace, 21.
CurToN.---The market generally has been firm
throughout the week, owing chiefly to the scarcity of
serviceable qualities, and the great decrease in the
stock as compared with the corresponding period of
last year, and prices have had an upward tendency.
The saki for the week, up to Friday, amounted to
50,800 bales, of which 5,960 were taken on specula-
tion, and 4,840 for export, leaving 40,000 for the trade.
TO-DIY, the advices by the Pacific were received, and
the market became still firmer, the sales reaching
12,000 bales, including 2,000 for speculation and
export, while prices may be quoted fully Id. higher
for marketable qualities. The following is a coin
parison of present rates with those of the correspond
ing period last year :---

•
F. L. H., with the view of curtailing some of the Branches of
his Business, has decided upon disposing of his Stock of

CHANDELIERS FOR GAS, OIL, &c.,
and begs to inform his Friends and the Public, that the Stock has
not only been completely reassorted, but the whole of the prices
have been very considerably reduced, thereby offering every pos-
sible inducement to give him the preference in selection. Articles
of the best manufacture have been marked at prices so low, that
those of the most inferior description could not be purchased at
the same rate, even by wholesale. F. L. H. would refer to the
following, namely :

pure, unadulterated Oil cannot be obtained in the English market.
The Aureole Lamp having entirely. superseded the Solar Lamp in
England, F. L. H. offers his remaining Stock of

SOLAR LAMPS
to Exporters to the Colonies, &c., where the coarser descriptions
of Oil only can be obtained. The Lamps will be offered

Prices.

F. L. H. takes the opportunity of stating, that those Persons
who may hitherto have been deterred from visiting his Establish-
ment, by its great extent and the valuable Collection of Goods,
arennot aware that, by overcoming this impression (in reality a
prejudice), the result would be most advantageous to them, as
they would find that they could purchase Articles of a better qua-
lity, and.at Lower Prices, than at any other Establishment. He
considers.it almost superfluous to add, that, whether they make
purehases.or otherwise, they will, in every caee, be received with
,politeness end attention.

prayer-book and beckoned him forward, being
surprised and somewhat consoled that any one
should visit a house so disgraced. The routier,
as he came to the castle, had thought of bowling
the head out of the bag to the old man's feet—"
" What a wretch !" interrupted Colette.
"Of course," said Christophe; "all the routiers
are wretches, who live by their sins and their
swords. But this one, when he saw the old
count's white locks, and the innocent 'faces of
the two pretty boys, who, being dismissed from
their prayers, ran off into a corner, relented, and
thought he would hear what the old man had to
say. The poor nobleman sat over the hearth,
and seemed very low-spirited, and the hail, be-
ginning to patter against the painted windows,
he said, in a dejected voice, No doubt you have
been driven into this house of misfortune because
you could find shelter nowhere else.' Not so,'
returned the routier, lam not one of those who
run away from sorrow and trouble as though it
were the plague or the gallows. Weep on, my
brave old sir, if it relieves you ; I will answer for
it, he whom you lament deserved your tears.'
Oh, indeed he did,' replied the sorrowing father,
his enemies, who were devoured with envy of
him, accused him of sorcery, and were resolved
beforehand that he should die. I deplore not
only his death, but the manner of it ; his poor
mangled remains have been deprived of t heir
most noble member, which will be denied the
rites of holy burial. Alas! it will be exposed on
the gates of the town, where ravens will come
and . . . .' Here his tears prevented him from
proceeding.
" Surely, sir,' said the routier, now that the
deed is done, the best way will be to think as
little as possible about it. But I fear if a stranger
like myself were to come to you with a bag of
this sort, and tell you your son's head was in it,
you would faint with terror, or else cause him to
be chased from your castle.' Oh no, indeed !' said
the old lord,' I should esteem him my greatest
benefactor, who had brought me the most valuable
gift on earth.' Prepare yourself for a shock,
then,' said the routier, untying his bag, and
taking out the head very gently ; 'for here it is.'
"The old count started up, and gazed on the
routier for a moment with an air that was quite
grand. Then, casting his eyes on the head, he
burst into a passion of tears, exclaiming, 0 give
it me ! give it me ! Heaven be praised ! Our
heads will now be laid together in the same
tomb !'

" The routier, much moved, gave it him re-
pectfully in silence, and quitted the castle with-
out asking for any reward. But the steward
soon came running after him with a heavy bag of
money, in return for his sack with the head."
"Is that all?" cried Colette, " I should not
think there were many routiers like that."
" There are good and bad of all sorts," said
Christophe. "You should have heard Gabrielle
tell the story."—Home Companion.
