ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS,

LIVERPOOL, 7TH FEBRUARY, 1852.
WE have not felt justified, until the present time,
in recommending this season's imports of Black Teas,
the quality of the earlier arrivals having confessedly been much
inferior to those of former years. This is attributed, to the
continued rains which have prevailed in some parts or the Tea
districts in China, owing to which the crops hove been consi-
derably deteriorated.

Our delay, in order to see the r tof a general importation,
has already proved most ben cial to the interest of our con-
nexion. Watchfulness an udgment, exercised in the selection
of qualities, will, ire ink, be more than usually appreciated
this year. With is conviction, we may confidently refer
Family Purchafers to our present List of Prices, and other
essential remarks, which can be had when applied for.

An official statement of the quantity of Tea consumed in 1851
has been published. The consumption was upwards of Fifty-
three Millions Pounds, on which a duty of 2s. 24d. was charge-
able—producing a revenue of £5,853,695 sterling. Considering
the immense importance of such a trade as a source of revenue,
land the magnitude of the interests concerned in its develop-
ment, it is astonishing that Government should persist in refu-
sing to protect it from frauds, especially from such frauds as
those recently and boldly practised in the Importation of spu-
nk*: Tea from China.

If the Chinese could not produce an ample supply of pure Tea
for the consumption of England (the best of their customers),
there might be some reason for connivance at such a fraud ;
but there can be none when the opposite is known to be a de-
monstrable fact.

Immediate inquiry into this matter is a stringent necessity,
and ought to be instituted in fairness to the Consumer. It

would meet with the full co-operation of every respectable
Dealer, as well as every well-principled Importer of Tea.
