TLIE TEA ESTABLISHMENT,
No. 8, LUDGATE-HILL.
on, 12, 1847.
We never remember the Finest Teas soLon cheap as atOctober the present
Moment.
We have this day made extensive purchases of the finest importa-
tions of Black and Green Teas, from Fourpeice to Sixpence below
What the same parcels sold at only four months ago.
This ruinous loss is attended with most calamitous results to the
Merchant ; but the public to this extent are gainers—that they may
ilow purchase a single pound of Tea at our estaLli,hment in London
cheaper than the importer can buy his thousand chests at in Canton
The system of our business has been uniform. We have ever been
&satiated by the principles of fair dealing, 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 eenfidence and patronage.
We especially invite attention to the remarkably nee Black Tea,
which we are charging only Four Shillings per Pound. Very choice
Gunpowder at Five Shillings and Fourpence, and Refined Sugar at
Fivepence Halfpenny.
The importation of Coffee is very large, the qualities very good,
and the prices extremely low.

THE TEA ESTABLISHMENT,

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 com-
paratively of modern use in these kingdom!, 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 Sir 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 5,110,897/. 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 source, and by thus cheapening an article so ge-
nerally esteemed, extend the comfort and social habits ofthe corn-
inanity.
The system of our business has been uniform. We have ever been
actuated by the principles of fair dealing, in meetine the altered cir-
Cnmstnnces of the markets as they arise. This course has been ap-
preciated by a discerning public, and we gratefully acknowledge a
large share 9f 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 blow. all former precedent.
COIMIE—The importation is an average one, the quality good,
