"YANG,"
THE CENTRAL FIRE

WHEN Ke-shin, or " The Dreaded Hour," was appoint-
ed Commissioner at Canton, and every Journal headed
the intelligence then received with " Settlement of the Chi-
nese Dispute—Three Millions to be paid the English—Trade
resumed at Canton," &c., CAPTAIN PIDDING'S 18
years' experience of the Chinese told him that his country-
men had been duped : and he predicted that, " though Ke-
shin might promise millions, he would never pay a dollar ;
that, instead of resuming trade, he would enforce its stop-
page, to keep the English without tea ; " and that " Elliot
would rue the hour" when he first relied on Ke-shin's pro-
mises. The public now know whose judgment of the Chi-
nese has proved correct, CAPTAIN ELLIOT'S or CAPTAIN
PIDDING'S ; and they see that CAPTAIN PIDDING'S predic-
tion has been verified to the letter. " YANG," the Chinese
definition of whose name is " The Central Fire," has suc-
ceeded Ke-shin. " YANG " has officially recommended
" the withholding all tea from the English, until their sup-
ply is quite exhausted," when he foretels that " they will
become reverently submissive, and give gold for the precious
leaf." Commodore Bremer's despatch mentions that " the
Chinese had removed all the tea from Canton," and the
statement :that " 200,000 Chinese were ready to sack and
burn the city," is singularly prophetic of Yang's name.
CAPTAIN PIDDING still thinks that the force sent out will
be found insufficient to coerce China, that no tea will come
out whilst bullets pour in, and that " teas will be dearer
than ever." CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly sold
under the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's
Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers and Tea-
dealers, anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he
alone imports, and which they found it impossible to procure,
have given the same title to rubbish of their own mixing, so
that there is now scarce one but has his " Howqua's,"
" Mowques," " Saoqua's," orsoilie other mixture. Against
such imposition, the only security is
" CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME."
This they have not yet forged, and his signature is on every
really genuine package. For country agencies, address Cap-
tain Pidding, 22, College-hill, London.
