PIRACY! CAUTIO:N. I

Captain Pidding made eight voyages to China ; in securing
the exclusive importation of these Teas, and if purchasers
will notice his ifignature, they will avoid counterfeits.
In an action brought by Captain Pidding, against a person
who counterfeited his packages, it was proved, before the
Vice-Chancellor, on the affidavit of Mr. Styan, a broker of 27
years' experience, employed to test these Teas,
"That Captain Pidding's Howctu A's MIXTURE' is a Tea
of a peculiar flavour, and composed of many varieties of
black teas, all of the finest quality ; that it has a character
peculiar to itself—A FINE NATURAL AROMA. And
"That' HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER' is Gun-
powder Tea of the very finest quality, and that such Tea
could not be bought in the market."
"W. Styan." { "Sworn at the Public Office, Chancery-lane,
this Bth day of May, 1837, before me,
" Filed Bth of May, 1837." " N. W. SENIOR."
It was also proved on oath, that Captain Pidding's Teas
were supplied for the Royal use.
Dr. Johnson, late Physician to Geo. IV., considers this
the best of Teas, and uses no other. As Author of " The
Economy of Health," &c., his testimony is invaluable, he
writes thus :

" Suffolk-place, London, Nov. 22, 1837.
" SIR,— Ever since your Howqua's Mixture' Tea was
first introduced, myself and family have used it, indeed only
it, and we have no hesitation in giving it the preference to
all others. " Yours, &c.,
" To Capt. Pidding." " JAMES JOHNSON, M.D."
Dr. Sigmond, M.D., F.L.S., in a lecture on tea, lately
delivered before the Medico-Botanical Society, stated, " That
since the opening of the trade, new varieties of Tea had been
brought to England, and, in particular, a Tea under the
name of the richest and the most esteemed of the Hong
Merchants, which had been very much and very deservedly
prized, and Captain Pidding's Howqua's Mixture' has now
become

" THE STANDARD TEA IN THIS COUNTRY.' "

It is impossible to furnish more conclusive proof of its su-
periority.
The term " standard" comprehends every good quality.
These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's " HOWQ,UA'S
MIXTURE" (Black Tea) at 6s. per lb., is Bs. the Catty Pack-
age. " HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER," at Bs. 7d.
per lb., is Ils. 6d. the Catty Package. Each Package con-
tains Ilb. and one-third nett of Tea.

ARRIVAL OF NEW FRENCH LONG AND SQUARE

SHAWLS, _
FROM THE EXPOSITION, AT PARIS,
At the EMPORIUM, 56, (late 78,) BOLD-STREET.
PRINGLE, LAWSON, and KEMP respectfully announce
the return of one of the Partners from France, where
he has been engaged, for the last month, in selecting various
descriptions of SHAWLS for their Establishments, in Li-
verpool, Manchester, and Glasgow ; and, the Goods having
now come to hand, they have much pleasure in submitting
them for inspection. Ladies may not be aware of the pecu-
liar advantages the Buyer were favoured with, from the cir-
cumstance of the Grand Exposition being open, in Paris,
during the time.
This Exposition occurs once in five years; and includes,
not only Shawls, but every description of article manufac-
tured in France, which has been invented or improved upon
during the preceding five yearsrand, as it is liberally fostered
and patronised by the Government and Court, extraordinary
exertions are made for pre-eminence in each department,
and the successful competitors are not only rewarded by
medals of gold, silver, and bronze, but, from the merits of
each being more fully brought before the public, reap more
substantial encouragement in the encrease of sale of their
various productions. It was particularly noticed, that in no
department had there been greater incention or originality
displayed than in the' Shawl department, and the extent of
the purchases of the richest Long Shawls by the Royal
Family was truly astonishing: the Shawl more especially
liked by the Queen, and since called the " Queen's Shawl,"
excited universal admiration.

P., L., and K. have been successful in purchasing Dupli-
cates of the finest Shawls in the Exposition, including the
" Queen's Shawl," and many others equally rich in design:
such Shawls are rarely seen, and from their beauty, com-
mand immediate sale.

P., L., and K. will feel happy to show them to their
Friends and the Public, either as curiosities or for purchase.
The choice is magnificent, consisting of novelties front £2
to £3O.

TO THE PUBLIC.

THE MOST SPLENDID SIGHT EVER WITNESSED IN THE

NEIGHBOURHOOD OF LIVERPOOL.
SECOND EXPLOSION.

SEVERAL hundred individuals not having been able to
avail themselves of the opportunity to witness the
BLOWING UP of the SHIP BYRON, now laying sunk in
five fathoms of water, near the Floating Light, at the en-
trance of the River Mersey, yesterday, a SECOND EXPLO-
SION will take place TO-MORROW (Wednesday) the 18th in-
stant, at Half-past Eleven, for the purpose of Blowing Up
the Remaining Portion of the Wreck, under the superin-
tendence of Mr. ABBINET, who has been so successful in
Blowing-up H. M. Ship " Boyne," of 98 Guns ; Mr. A. be-
ing the first person who ever attempted an experiment of
this nature.

The Steamer LIVERPOOL, of Seacombe, for which a
Buoy has been laid down expressly by Mr. Abbinet, in the
most eligible situation to view the proceedings, has been
fitted up for the accommodation of the Public, and will take
Passengers from the Seacombe Slip, Prince's Pierhead, leav-
ing at Half-past Ten o'clock in the Morning.
FARE—Two Shillings and Sixpence each.
This is the only Steamer which will afford the oppor-
tunity of viewing the Blowing-up, and the interesting appa-
ratus by which the divers ascend and descend to the wreck.
Refreshments may be had on board.
