ANDREW SMITH'SJATENT WIRE ROPE, FOR

STANDING RIGGING.
THE notice of Shipowners, Shipmasters, and others, is
respectfully requested to the following testimonials of
the superiority of the above Rope over Hempen Cordage.
The Patentee, in consequence of his Rope coming greatly
into use, is now enabled to reduce the price from 70s. per
cwt. to 60s. per cwt., making it fully 30 per Cent. cheaper
than Hemp Rope.

" City of Dublin Steam-Packet Company,
" Office, 24, IVater-street, Liverpool, April 2], 1841.
" Gs:NTLEmEN,—In reply to your letter of this morning,
I beg to state, as a proof of my opinion of the Wire Rope
for Standing Rigging, that I have recently put it on hoard
of this Company's new Steamer the Erin-go-Brayli, and
which I would not have done if I had the slightest doubt of
its superiority over Hemp Cordage. The Standing Rigging
of the Prince, Princess, Queen Victoria, Oriental, and
Great Liverpool, is in the same good condition as when
first put on board those Steamers ; and, as regards the two
first-named Vessels, it has not been necessary to set the
Shrouds up since they were hauled taut two years since. I
find the Wire Rope answers admirably for Ridge Ropes for
awnings, as it becomes like a bar of iron when well set up,
and does not give to the lashings.
" 1 am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
" JAMES C. SHAW.

" Liverpool, 151 h May, 1811

" GENTLEMEN,-At the request of the Patentee, Mr.
Smith, I beg to state for his information, that the Patent
Wire Rigging fitted to the iron ship John Gat-row, of 711
tons, under my command, after being a voyage from England
to Bombay and back to this port, during which period it was
tried by the most severe weather, remains in a most excel-
lent condition ; so much so, that I do not consider it neces-
sary to have it taken down for refitting until the Ship has
performed another voyage, should it even then be requisite
to do so.
" I have much pleasure in adding my testimony to its
great utility, and decided superiority over Hempen Cordage,
being much lighter, smaller, stronger, and cheaper than the
latter, and, I have no hesitation in saying, from what I have
experienced, much more durable. The John Garrew's
Lower Rigging is only 3i inch Patent Wire Rope; whereas,
had it been Hemp, st inch would have been required.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours truly,
" F. WILSON.

SCHWEPPE'S SODA AND POTASS WATERS,

JERATED LEMONADE.
THE continued preference of the Publi for the above
celebrated preparations (notwithstandi g the low price
at which imitations are rendered), so ndantly proves
their superior quality, that it only rental for the manufac-
turers to express their acknowledgment's, and to caution
consumers against an imposition frequently practised by un-
principled persons filling SCHWEPPE'S bottles with a
spurious composition, and passing it off as SCHWEPPE'S
inanufacture. None are genuine without a label represent-
ing the name of their firm.
SCHWEPPE'S LIQUID MAGNESIA.
This elegant solution is produced by the aid of their power-
ful machinery skilfully directed, and consists of the purest
distilled water, and the best carbonate of magnesia. This
invaluable alkali in the fluid form is so rapidly superseding
its use in the solid state for cases of Gout, Gravel, Diseases
of Children, Sea Sickness, &c., avoiding, as it does, the in-
jurious tendency of the latter to lodge an accumulate in the
bowels, that the Public attention cannot be too often directed
to the source where they may obtain the preparation in the
highest state of perfection. Manufactured at 51, Berners'-
street, London ; and sold, wholesale, at their branch manu-
factories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby, and at the Lon-
don Patent Medicine Houses.

KE-SHIN,
" THE DREADED HOUR."

IF there be anything in a name, that of Ke-shin, the Chi.
nese Commissioner nominated to meet Elliott at Canton,
is, in its Chinese definition, given above, ominous of sad
results. Our previous knowledge of Ke-skin's opinion of
the best " MODE OF MANAGING THE ENGLISH,"
gives us reason to " dread the hour" when he shall sit in
judgment upon English commerce. KeAkin, in a memorial
addressed to the Emperor in Decemlfe,i, 1838, recommends
him to `'put an entire stop to all foiggn intercourse for ten
years, when," he says, " the English will pay gold and silver
for Tea and Rhubarb." " The Foreigners,' says Ke-shin,
" subsist day by day upon beef and mutton, and every day,
after meals, they take this DIVINE MEDICINE (i. e. Tea
and Rhubarb), in order to get a motion in their bowels."
This is the advice of Ke-shin, the most influential minister
at the Court of Pekin, and now appointed Fxaminer of the
English. Our unsuspicious Admiral, all-powerful whilst
relying upon his carronades, has been cajoled by the wily
Ke-shin into exchanging them for a goose-quill, and is to
meet him, not on his proper element, but in Ke-shin's own
city, Canton. CAPT. PIDDING's predictions have been
verified to the letter. No part of the £3,000,000 is paid, or
even promised. Instead of our demands being granted, the
inquiry into them was not begun—the Court, at which, Ke-
shin of ten years' tea-stopping celebrity is to preside, was
not even formed. All, therefore, whether content with Fo-
kein Bohea or patrons of Captain Pidding's Teas, will act
prudently in laying in a good stock ; for Ke-shin acts as
he advised the Emperor, tea will treble itself. The public—
the best judges of all that concerns the palate or the pocket
—having purchased above a million catties of CAPTAIN
PIDDING'S TEAS, is sufficient proof of their superior
quality ; but besides being used at the Palace, CAPTAIN
PIDDING'S TEAS are the only kind admitted at the table
of fashion, while the frugal find that their strength renders
them the most economical. Be particular in askieg for
CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEA, and observe that all pack-
ages have the signature of
" CAPT. JOHN RHODES PIDDING."
The present reduced price of Captain Pidding's Howqua's
Mixture, Black Tea, is 6s. 4d. per lb., being Bs. 6d. the catty
package ; and for Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder Tea, is
9s. per lb., being 12s. the catty package, half and quarter
catties in proportion. For Agencies in the country, address
to Captain Pidding, 22, College-hill, City.
