PATENT PERRYIAN FILTER INKSTAND.

HIS novel and useful Invention insures an instantaneous
T supply of CLEAR FILTERED INK in the cup of the
Filter, which can be returned into the Inkstand at any mo-
ment, where it is secured from injury, and not affected by
'le atmosphere. The Ink, thus protected, never thickens
or moulds, and remains good for any length of time in any
climate. The process of filtration causes the colouring mat-
ter to be held in suspension ; hence the trouble and inconve-
nience occasioned by unsuitable Ink, generally found in
ordinary Inkstands, are completely obviated by the use of
the FILTER INKSTAND. One of moderate size will
contain sufficient Ink for six or twelve months' writing.

the Counting-house, and for general purposes.

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, 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 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 commonesteas, since June, have advanced Is. 9d. per lb.
HOWQUA'S &TALL 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 POWDER,in Chinese Catty Packages.
N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES PID-
DING" is upon every genuine package.
