TO THE ELECTORS OF NORTH TOXTETH WARD.
GENTLEMEN,
HAVING again been requested by a numerous and highly
respectable body of Electors, to offer myself as a Can-
didate to represent the interests of your Ward in the Town
Council, I have great pleasure in thus publicly acquiescing
with their wishes, and I beg to state that I respond cheer-
fully to the call, being assured of your unabated confidence,
and trusting to the certainty of your best exertions and sup-
port at the ensuing Municipal Election.
It is perhaps hardly necessary for me to state that I am
resident in your Ward, in addition to which, as 1 have a per-
sonal interest and responsibility in many of the other Wards
of the. Borough, all that may tend to the increase of com-
merce, or public improvements, will necessarily demand my
best exertions ; and having been connected for several years
with many of the various Local Boards, I do not feel unpre-
pared for the performance of such responsible duties as may
devolve upon me.
I will endeavour to check any lavish or speculative use of
the Town Funds, but will do my utmost, should I have the
honour to be elected by you, to devise or carry into effect,
such improvements as will tend unequivocally to the public
good; and as regards the education question, however anxious
I may be to facilitate the diffusion of general knowledge among
the working classes, I will never sanction any educational
system which has for its groundwork the exclusion of the
Bible.

I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully,
RICHARD HARBORD

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS.
'TILE 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, common black
teas have risen Is. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. id. per
lb. ; fine black teas as high as Gs. 7d., 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 Gs. 9d. ner 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.
HOWQUA'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 GUNPOWDER,in Chinese Catty Packages.
N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOIJN RHODES YID-
DING" is upon every genuine package.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS have
through the notoriety of their great efficacy, become
the only Medicine in general use, for the cure of those
dreadfully painful diseases, Gout, Rheumatic Gout, Rheuma-
tism, Lumbago, Sciatica, Tic Doloreux, Pains in the Head
and Face, frequently mistaken for the Toothache, and all
analogous complaints. The recent testimonials of Lieut.
Masters (of Hawley, near Bagshot) late of the Royal
Newfoundland Veteran Companies, who was invalided home
by a Garrison order, together with the numerous certificates
which have been published from persons in every station of
life, from all parts of the Empire, particularly those of the
Rev. Dr. Blomberg, the Chevalier De la Garde, &c., &C.,
demonstrate the preparation to be one of the greatest dis-
coveries in Medicine.

A T a NUMEROUS MEETING of MERCANTILE
!I and other GENTLEM EN held in the Cotton Sales
Room, Exchange-buildings, Liverpool, on Wednesday, Sep-
tember 30th, 1840.

Thos. TODD, Esq., in the Chair

. .
The following Resolutions were carried unanimously :
Moved by Mr. HICKS, of New York ; seconded by Mr
MEN LOVE, of Charleston.

Ist. " That the sudden and extraordinary dismissal of
Lieut. Fayrer, R.N. from the command of the President, a
few days prior to her appointed time of sailing, is a breach
of faith towards the public, inasmuch as many of the pas-
sengers have been induced to take their passage on board
that ♦essel, not only from personal regard and friendship for
Captain Fayrer, but also from the great confidence reposed
in him as a long-tried and experienced commander of a
steam-ship.

Moved .by Mr. HENRY CLEAVER CHAPMAN, seconded
by Mr. ROSICELL, .

2nd. " That the charges brought against Capt. Fayrer have
been most completely refuted, and, with all due deference to
the directors, were, in the opinion of this meeting, of too
frivolous a nature to have justified the measures adopted,
which have so direct a tendency to lower Captain Fayrer in
the estimation of the public, and so seriously to injure his
future prosperity in his profession."
Moved by Mr. SAMUEL CASSIN, of New York; seconded
by Mr. WILLIAM JONES,
3rd. " That this meeting cannot separate without express-
ing the high sense -it entertains of Capt. Fayrer's conduct
and abilities, both as an officer and a gentleman, and its con-
viction that the present harsh and unjustifiable proceedings
against him have not rendered him less entitled to the con-
fidence and support of the public."
Moved by Capt. HACKSTAFF, seconded by Mr. BELI,
Housz, of Montreal,
4th. " That the masters of the American lines of packets,
and of other vessels belonging to the United States trading
to-this port, have heard with extreme regret of the abrupt
dismissal of Capt: Fayrer from the command of the Presi-
dent. The American ship-masters take this opportunity of
expressing their high estimation of Capt. Fayrer, from their
knowledge of him both as a gentleman and an officer."
Moved by Mr. ROBERT NEILSON, seconded by Mr. N.
CAIRNS,
sth. " That the thanks of the meeting are due and are
hereby given to the chairman, for the excellent manner ito
which he has dischatged the duties of President on this occa-
sion, and for the way in which he has expressed his feelings,
which do honour to his own heart, on the subject to consider
which, we assembled."'
Moved. by Mr. DANIEL NEILSON, seconded by Mr.
GEORGE GRANT, . .

That these resolutions be published in the Liver-
pool, London, and New York papers ; and the Chairman be
requested to present a copy to Captain Fayrer."
THOMAS TODD, Chairman.

OBINSON'S PATENT BARLEY, AND PATENT
IL GROATS, recommended by the Faculty. Patronized
by the Queen and Royal Family.
The attention of Mothers, (especially during the period of
nursing,) Invalids, and Families is particularly called to the
above Patent Articles, being the purest Farinte of the Oat
and Barley ever produced, deprived of their fermentative
properties by a steam process.
ROBINSON'S PATENT BARLEY cannot be equalled
by any article for making pure Barley Water in a few minutes :
all impurities being rejected, it is rendered more palatable
than Barley Water made with Pearl Barley. It is an excel-
lent adjunct with milk for the breakfast table, highly useful
for culinary purposes, light suppers, making delicious pud-
dings, thickening soups, also with the addition of lemon
juice and sweetened, forms a most grateful beverage.
ROBINSON'S PATENT GROATS, are universally
esteemed for making a delicate Gruel; and both the Groats
and Barley are a nutritious food for Children, and those
suffering under difficult digestion.
