TEA ESTABLISHMENT,
No. 8, LUDGATE-HILL.

We never remember the Finest Teas so cheap as atOctober the present
Moment.
We have this day rxade extensive purchases of the finest importa-
tions
of Black and Green Teas, from Fourpeace 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
novr purchase a single pound of Tea at our establishment 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
aitnated by the prineiples 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 confidence and patronage.
We especially invite attention to the remarkably fine Black Tea,
which we are charging only Four Shillings per Pound. Very choice
Gunpowder at Five Shillings and Fourpeace, and Refined Sugar at
Fivepence Halfpenny.
The importation ofaeoffee is very large, the qualities very good,
and the prices extremely low.

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 tkoughtful,
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-
Puatively of modem 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 tke 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 1844.
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
%teed from this source, and by thus cheapening an article so ge-
Mimitnerally esteemed, extend the comfort and social habits ofthe com-
y.
Tlie system of our business has been uniform. We have ever been
actuated by the principles of fair dealing, in meeting the altered cir-
cumstances of the markets as they arise. This coarse 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 ono, the quality good,
Prices low.
