THE LARGEST IMPORTATION OF TEA
EVER KNOWN !

ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS,
LIVERPOOL, JUNE 2, 1854.

The recent very abundant arrivals of TEA in England have
chiefly consisted of the inferior and medium descriptions,
the imports of which have been greatly in excess of those of
any former season. Of these we can recommend the " Good
Medium" as a useful Tea of its class, and which we can sup-
ply at such low prices as will satisfy those consumers who
study economy in this department of household expenditure.
The choice Moning Congou and the first class Souchong,
owing to their•sterling qualities, still maintain high prices.
In consequence of the continued internal revolutions in
China, and the uncertain position of affairs in the eastern
districts of the empire, a considerable quantity of Tea has
been this year hurried through the processes of maturing and
forwarding for shipment. These causes, superadded to the
effects of the voyage, have, in many instances, affected the
quality to a serious extent. Under these circumstances,
Families may rest assured of our most vigilant care in making
Proper selection of such qualities as will continue to give
every satisfaction as regards both price and quality—our aim
being to justify the confidence which our discrimination has
hitherto inspired.

We have made for some time past very complete arrange-
ments for the punctual delivery of Family Parcels—by Vans—
in BIRKENHEAD, ROCK FERRY, SEACOMBE, NEW
BRIGHTON, &c., besides our usual deliveries in Liverpool
and its suburbs. Our men, in charge of the Vans. are
authorised to take orders and to settle accounts. Should
there be any inattention or incivility shown by any of them
we shall esteem it a favour to be informed of the same by
note; by this means we should be enabled at once to remedy
any grievance.
We deem it most necessary, in order to prevent future
imposition, to make it publicly known that we have no con-
nexion whatever, nor ever had, with such parties in Liverpool,
or in other towns, who, as a bait to purchasers, have been in
the habit of displaying our name, in large and conspicuous
letters, on their door-plates and shop windows. We wish jt
t o be distinctly understood see have only one place of business
.--ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS.

The nefarious use of our name has not, however, been con
fined to its assumption, as a passport to favour with cus-
omers. We have ascertained that a systematic mode of
soliciting business in our name has been adopted by parties
in this town, and that one of the said parties, guilty of stilt
greater audacity, has had goods delivered to him under the
impression, on the part of the vendor, that such goods were
bought by us. This discovery would not have been made if
the goods thus sold had been punctually paid for.
We are only constrained to notice these matters by the
increasing assurance of those who, without any foundation
whatever, still assume a connexion with our firm. These
attempts to impose upon the public have become too glaring
to permit us to allow them to pass unnoticed.
