ANNUAI CIRCtLAA

ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS,
Liverpool, May 4th, 1859.
PART of the Importation of this " Season's Black Teas"
has been—of a finer quality than for several years past ;
—but, although the market value is higher, we have made
such arrangements as will enable us to continue to supply
Family Orders (until further notice) without any advance
on former prices, viz—Fine Congou, 3s Bd, First-class
Congou, Rich Souchong Flavour, 4s, and the Extra Fine,
full Ripe Souchong, 4s 4d. At these prices will be found
unusually-good Teas--equal to those of the well remem-
bered season of 1852,, and more particularly the :cargo
imported per ship -Race Horse, in that year.

For the• special convenience of Families. we have an
AcCount open with "'The City Bank," London--'• Bank
of. Ireland," bublin-" National 'Bank of Scotland,"
_Edinburgh and Glasgow-and the " Gloucestershire
Banking Company," in Cheltenham.

Tax extremn care with which " This Branch of our
Trade," the supplying of Families—has been conducted,
and which we commenced in 1840 —has exercised a dit'ect
influence in the extension of our correspondence among
parties of the highest standing, and the nicest perceptiore
of taste, throughout the United Kingdom.—Time—the
most incallible test in all such cases has served to show
us, that it is our interest to afford THE GREAI EST
ADVANTAGE IN PRICE— combined with EVERY POSSIBLE
:SECURITY AS TO QUALITY. We have ever resolutely
declined all offers of business at great gains, with corre-
sponding risks of long credit.

The utility of our system of business, viz., payment in
full, on receipt and approval of Goods, is well exemplified
in the increasing number of our customers.

Errot,Ou FAMILIES, and others residing abroad, will
recognise the advantages which we possess for the
execution of Orders for Tea UNDER BOND, Duty Free-

both as regards size of Packages and E,vrialon. QUALITY,

TAB DAYS NEWS

We are still without any decided news from the
seat of war, but we continue to receive reports as to
the movements and disposal of the troops of France
and Austria*. It is now stated, on the authority of a
telegram from Berne, that Marshal Canrobert directs
the operations of the Allies, and that his head
quarters are at Allessandria. The strength of the
French'and 'Sardinian forces is stated at 120,000
men, and that of Austria at 140,000 ,men„ The
Paris Moniteur, of yesterday, contains a decree
appointing the Empress Regent. It says :—" The
Emperor having the intention of presiding, himself
at the head of the army of Italy, has resolved
upoit conferring the title of Regent on the Empresi.
The Empress, says his Majesty, will exercise the
functions of Regent during our absence, in confor-
mity with our orders and instructions, which will be
transcribed into the great book of the State. The
Prince Jerome, the presidents of the great bodies of
the State, the members of the Privy Council, and
the ministers, will take cognisance of these orders
and instructions, and the Empress will not be able
to depart from their tenor in fulfilling the duties of
the regency. The Empress will not be able to pro-
claim any other' senatus conszeltum than those now
actually existing. The Empress will take the advice

of the Prince Jerome on the resolutions and decrees
which will be submitted to her." Another decree
published by the Moniteur, , appoints M. de Thouvenel

senator. A telegram from Turin, of Monday, states
that the Austrians to the number of 2,000, after having
occupied Biela for a short time, have again withdrawn.
Austrian -reconnoitering parties had advanced as far
as Idrea, but seeing the preparations for defence,
they withdrew. The command of the troops for the
defence of Turin has been given to General Sounaz.
The Senate of Hamburg, anticipating the possibility
of Germany taking part in the war, applied to the
English government to take under its protection the
numerous merchant vessel's which sail on every sea,
with the flag of the three ports, and three Hanseatic
cities. The reply of Lord Malmesbury -was, hat
England would not be able, under any constitutional
treaty, to assume the protection requested. .The
Moniteur Beige announces that the government
of the two Sicilies has officially notified to the
Courts of Europe that it is the wish of his Neapolitan
Majesty to preserve a strict neutrality towards_all
powers, pending the - actual complications. The
Moniteur. Beige also gives notice that Bflgian
subjects who attempt privateering, or otherwise

act contrary to the duties of neutrality, will
expose themselves to be treated as pirates abroad,
and be liable to prosecution by the Belgian tribunals.

The inertness of the Austrians creates 'great sur-
prise at Paris, where it was thought that, being
first in the field, they would have attacked the
Piedmontese before their auxiliaries came up, and,
after beating them, have taken up a strong position -
to await the French. The Austrian movements are
regarded as so unaccountable as to be 'supposed by
some - persons to cover some deep strategic planS,
slowly developed, which are not obvious to people
at a distance. The Sardinians are preparing to
give a magnificent reception to the Emperor Napoleon
when he lands at Genoa. The Piedmontese Gazette
says that the requisitions and extortions of the
Austrians would warrant the capture of Austrian
vessels in the ports of Sardinia ; but this decisive
measure is not yet adopted, as the Government of
the King desired to carry on the war upon liberal prin-
ciples. The Turin correspondent, of the Times says
that, down to May 6th, there had been only trifling
skirmishes with the Austrians. The latter had only
shewn themselves in detachments of a few hundred
men, and their object has generally been to levy
contributions. Complaints are made of the meagre
and unsatisfactory manner in which the official
bulletins are drawn up. •

The Election for the _West Riding of Yorkshire
has -resulted in the return of Messrs. Ramsdell :and
Crossley.

A Poor Law Commission of Inquiry was held,
yesterday, at the Public-offices, Park-road, for the
purpose of investigating an alleged tampering with
voting papers used in the election of guardians for
the township of Toxteth Park. There was a. con-
siderable amount of evidence adduced, which will be
found in our coumns to-day. The result of the
inquiry will:not be known until the Inspector makes
his report to the Poor Law Board.
