Now these teas are all good of their several kinds, some of them
exceedingly fine, and of a quality very rarely to be met with. At
one penny per pound profit they will be supplied to the trade and all
large consumers, in lots and quantities to suit the most extensive de-
mands. As will be noticed by the above list, so it is a we►l-known
fact, that the original cost of finest Congou tea is over 39 taels, or
2s. 20. per pound, whfch, with duty added, makes 4s. 414 d. per
pound. We have, ever since we began selling teas at Number Ono,
sold this description at 4s. 6dl per pound. hundreds and thousands
of people have tried it, and can vouch for its strength and richness
of flavour. Nobody ever finds fault with it, and it plelses every-
body, because it is both good and cheap. When Government falls
the duty, we will fall the price of tea in the same ratio, at Number
One, and publish it to the world. All purchaser's will be allowed one
pound on every 30 pounds as overweight.

"Dear Sirs,—l t,ev, tried all the lead pencils you forwarded to me,
and consider them the beat I hive ever had; indeed, it is Impossible
justly to compare them with ailf others, as they possess qualities I
never YRI Amid in pencils, amongst which I may name their beau-
tiful trimaparenoy and clearness. I severalt only made use of them
myself, but IVO* 1014 them tried by students in this instito •
ged by my pupils. The dpublo

" Gentlemen,—ln reply to your inquiry respecting my opinion of
the quality and value of your new pencils, I do not hesitate to say
that I find them excellent in all respects, with entire freedom front
grit, and working well, whether hard or so, t. These qualities, com-
bined with their moderate price, render them very
valuable to
artists and their pupils.

"Truly yours,

" Great Charles-street, May 27, 1845.
" Gentlemen,—l have tried the set of pencils which you were so
good as to send me, and I have no hesitation in expressing my opi-
nion that they are far superior to any that I have used for many
years, perhaps, indeed to any that I ever used. Were the price of
them three or four times what it is, I should take them with plea-
pure; and I shall recommend them confidently to my friends.
"I am, Gentlemen,
"Faithfully yours.
