THE TEA ESTABLISHMENT,
8, LUDGATE-HILL,
SIDNEY and COMPANY, Proprietors.
The rapidly progressive increase in the consumption of Tea and
Coffee is one of the pleasing features of the age. The people abstain-
ing to a considerable extent from the indulgence of intoxicating li-
quors, More especially from ardent spirits, have become thoughtful,
the nation energetic and powerful.
The very interesting statistical accounts published by order of the
House of Commons at once show that both Tea and Coffee are coin-
Paratively of modern use in these kingdoms, and that only within the
last few years have they become the ordinary beverage of the people.
They are no longer received as luxuries attainable by the wealthy, but
aided by the wisdom of the Legislature in throwing open the markets
of the East, prices have been brought within the range of all classes
of the community.
The Customs' duties on Coffee were very considerably lowered in
the celebrated Tariff Bill of bir Robert Peel in 1842 ; and it is grati-
fying to know that the revenue has been benefited by such reduction,
and the consumption, from 28 million pounds in 1842, increased to
upwards of 36 million pounds in 1846.
The duties levied upon Tea are enormous. In the past year this
article alone yielded the sum of 5,110,8971. 15s. 9d. to the revenue.
It is the prevailing opinion, that if Parliament on its assembling
should reduce the tea duties to one-half their present rate (and the
select committee appointed by the House of Commons recommend
the adoption of such a measure), the consumption would be so vastly
augmented, as to fully yield an equivalent revenue to that hitherto
derived from this sonrce, and by thus cheapening an article so ge-
nerally esteemed, extend the comfort and social habits ofthe com-
inanity.
The system of our business has been uniform. We have ever been
actuated by the principles of fairdealing, in meeting the altered cir-
cumstances of the markets as they arise. This course has been ap-
preciated by a discerning public, and we gratefully acknowledge a
large share of confidence and patronage.
The present year's importation of Tea is likely to be very large ;
and this circumstance has had a marked effect upon the value of all
descriptions, which, added to the derangement of the Money Market,
has tended to depreciate prices below all former precedent.
COFFEE —The importation is an average one, the quality good,
prices low.

SiIiCRET MALAD-TES.
k...Y Treatment of CII. ALBERT, M.D., a Member of the Univer-
sity of Paris, Professor of Pharmacy, Apothecary to the Hospitals of
Paris, Professor of Afedicine, and honoured with several Medals and
national rewards. No. 21, Rue llontorgeuil, Paris.
Numberless and well-authenicated cases which hitherto had been
considered as incurable by the Faculty, and which in a short time
have given way under this treatment, are most unequivocal proofs of
its superiority over every other means as yet employed. It was for
a long period of time a desideratum to discover a mode of cure
adopted to all constitutions, and which should be free from the bane-
fill effects of mercury. We are now arrived at the solution of this
problem by the discovery of a mode of treatment at once simple and
easy, and which, without any degree of exaggeration, we can affirm
to be Infallible in the cure of all secret maladies, however inveterate
or of long standing. The method of cure, according to Dr. Albert, is
economical and easy, either at home or on a journey, causing not the
slightest derangement to the general health, and safe in all seasons
and in all climates.

„ Xarriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
mat It
ulaY be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which
covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
!tad its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced tis physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
Pointlnents. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
Ibied In Moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
:Used, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury
the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
Zthe mature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
u Productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
Kati any other to which it is subject.
Arel This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
a
natomy and Physiology of the Reroductive Organs, and of
A
relative conditions in health anpd disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
Ve_.of More importance than the preservation of the health,
e' of the physical capabilities of which every man should
I, Possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
tefim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
21 early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
rent their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
niaZ to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
qteliflY, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
Yond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
dor assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
uirgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
ri,tre, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
,24_ Y characterise the Intelligent and practical physician, and to the
edlical man who can show by his posse sion of the requisite legal
roal fications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
AT;iat, Pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
,„.;ERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
,faY, and te extent of his practice for y ears is a
