KE-SHIN,

" THR DREADED HOUR:"
IF there be anything in a name, that of Ke-ihin, 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-shin'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. Ke-skin, in a memorial
addressed to the Emperor in December, 1838, recommends
him to " put an entire stop to all foreign 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 demand,s 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 geed stock •, for •if 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 tattles 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.
