MANCHESTER ite SALFORD JUNCTION CANAL.
IHB CANAL, which connects the Rochdale Canal (just
above the fourth lock from Knott Mill) with the Mersey
and Irwell Navigation, (near the Old Quav,) Manchester,
yin be OPENED to the Public from and after MONDAY
7\-EXT. By this means. all the navigations of Yorkshire,
Wa•byshire, Cheshire, Staffordshire, &c. &c. will have a
dirlct communication with the Bolton and Bury Canal, and
the Mersey and Irwell Navigation, (which is deeper, wider,
and several miles shorter, than any other line,) to Warring-
ton, St. Helen's, Runcorn, Liverpool, &c. &c.
The Junction Canal has the advantage of double locks,
which will considerably facilitate the passing of vessels,
thereby avoiding an inconvenience which has hitherto caused
serious delay. The tunnel (which is short) is well lighted
with gas every 20 yards; there is also a towing path the whole
length ; and, for the convenience of vessels using this line,
men will be in readiness, if required, for the purpose of
hauling them, and assisting them through the locks, for which
a charge will be made not exceeding sixpence each vessel, or
a farthing per ton.
Rates of tonnage,-and any other information, may be had
on application at this office.

ctiog Canal Office, No. 116, Water-street,
Manchester, May 26th, 1840.
N.B.—lt is arranged, that all vessels passing through the
Junction Canal, and using the Mersey and Irwell (Old Quay)
Navigation to Liverpool, Runcorn, Warrington, &c., shall
not be subject to any greater charge for tonnage than if they
passed along the Rochdale to the Bridgewater Canal.

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, and certainly impro-
bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a
very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of
that article has taken place. Since June last, commonblacl:
teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. id. per
lb. ; line black teas as high as 6s. id., whilst up to this mo-
ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be
sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise,
however, having caused a run upon his teas by 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 Is. 9d. per lb.
IiONVQ,UA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the
present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea,
is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter
catties in like proportions.
Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that
his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no
probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the
least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable
tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period,
there is little doubt but tea will advance daily.
These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S
MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S
SMALL LEAF GUN POWDE R,in Chinese Catty Packages.
N.B.—The signature of " Captain Jogs RHODES PID-
DING" is upon every genuine package.
