CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS...
THE accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli-
gence of the English having been totally expelled from
China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between
Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in
person, and Chinese men of war ;•in other words, China is
at war with England. And the questions upon which the
two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust-
ment as to render it almost impossible, an certainly impro-
bable, that any more teas can be .ohtainett from; China for a
very considerable period, a great. rise in all descriptions of
that article has taken place. Since June last, common black
teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine green, 3s. .per lb. Fine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d• per
lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to-this mo-
ment, Captain Pidding has continued to,.allnw his teas to be
sold without any advance whatever. • 111c:Iate,:great rise,
however, having caused a run upon his teasty the ,trade, who
found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than
they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to
raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased
by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How-
QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of .6s. 9d. :per lb.,
being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d.. per lb., when
the commonest teas, since June, have advanced ls. 9d. per lb.
HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER Will,he_SOld, for the
present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Ilyson, an.4,aliarior tea,
is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d, per lb. Half and quarter
catties ke proportions.
Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that
his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no
that country,. for, at the
least,
bti%lietlyv.eo t
eithntire stock of consumable

tea in Great Britain
there is little doubt but tea will advance. daily.
These Teas consis •-t of Captain Pulding's HOWQUA'S
MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S
SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDE R,in Chinese Catty Packages.
N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES Pin-
DING

MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—Some time. since a plain
private carriage drew up in the dusk of the evening to the
rural hotel in the romantic village of —, in this county,
and the agreeable hostess made her best curtesy to a young
and beautiful lady, who appeared much fatigaed, and signi-
fied her intention of remaining for the night. The hostess
was so assiduous in her attentions, and the lady felt so com-
fortable in her cottage residence, that she protracted her
stay. At the end of the week she became the mother of a
child almost still born ; and about a fortnight after her ar-
rival the same carriage drew up precisely at the same hour,
and the bill being generously discharged, the fair and un-
known one departed, no one knows whither.—Tipperary

MELANCHOLY Loss OF LIFE—NINE. PERSONS DROWNED
IN LOUGH SWILLY.—OiI Thursday, the 9th instant, two
boats from the west side of the lake proceeded to Doughbeg-
to tish'for cod. On their' return home, on the night of the
same day, one of these boats struck on a rock in Pincher's
Bay, when, melancholy to relate, all on board perished_
Among the sufferers were a man named Calaghan and his
two sons ; two brothers named-John and James Black. from
AnnY ; and the rest of the crew were called Kerr or M'Elhare.
The boat has been since picked up,. and two of her boards
stove in •, but none of the bodies have yet been found.—
