SPLENDID COLLECTION OF PAINTINGS

AT THE ABEL PHI HOTEL.

A/ R. JOSEPH PEEL, from London, begs most respect-
fullylYl to inform the Nobility and Gentry of Liverpool
and its vicinity, that he has received, in addition to those
Pictures already on view, " The Standard Bearer," by Ve-
lasquez—a gem of art of that great master. It is in most
excellent condition, and is well worthy of inspection. Also,
Saint Cecilia, by Domenichino. A brilliant production,
full of expression.
A Female Head, by E. Serani, painted with all the deli-
cacy and finish of Carlo Dolci, and replete with colour, equal
to Guido's best works.

A Portrait of Canova, painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence.
One of his best efforts.

A Female Portrait, by Bronzino ; a rare and genuine pic-
ture of that celebrated master in the early school.
A Sea View, by Backhuysen ; one of the masterpieces by
that great sea painter. This picture is well worthy the at-
tention of any collector of the Fleinish schools.
A pair of very fine Views in Venice, by Canaletto, painted
in his best manner. They are interesting compositions.
A Landscape, by Wynauts ; not to be surpassed for qua-
lity and purity by any one of the most esteemed and talented
artists.

Mr. PEEL has, besides the above, many other Paintings
of great merit, all of which he feels convinced will highly
gratify those Gentlemen who honour him with a visit. In
price and quality he is confident he can give the utmost sa-
tisfaction.
On view—Adelphi Hotel, 9th October, 1840.

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 fdrces, 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. 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 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 GUN POWDE R,in Chinese Catty Packages.
N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES Pm-
DING" is upon every genuine package.
