all deseriptions, pay a duty of 2s. 2%d. upon every pound.

'ow these teas are all good of their reVeral 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.stnd quantities to suit the most extensive de-
mands. As will he noticed by the above list, as it is a well-known
fact, that the original cost of finest Congou tea is over 39 taels, or
2s. 2d. per pound, whfch, with duty added, makes 4e. 4Md. per
pound. We have, ever since we began selling teas at Number One,
sold this description at 4s. 6d. 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 ple ,ses 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 purchasers will be allowed one
pound on every 30 pounds as overweight.

the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me,
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Rerbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months,
nd the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than
ever was before the baldness appeared.
