Liverpool, 2d March, 1841.

TOWN COUNCIL HALL, DEMERARY
NOTICE.

MENDERS for LIGHTING GEORGETOWN with
GAS, will be received until the 31st of March nest
ensuing.

The 'number of Lights required in those parts of the respec-
tive Wards now assessed for taxes will be about three hun-
dred—which number will be increased as the remaining parts
of the town are called upon to pay taxes.
The extent of the Streets in which the three hundred
Lights will have to be placed, is about twenty-five thousand
yards.

The extent of the Streets in the Districts of New Charles-
:own, New Freeburg, and Lacy Town, not yet paying taxes,
,s about fourteen thousand five hundred yards.
The number of houses at present in the Districts in which
the three hundred Lights are required, is about twelve hun-
Ired and fifty.

The number of Houses in the back Districts is about six
hundred.
In both the number is increasing, and the town must con-
tinue to increase, should immigration be permitted.
There are also, besides the Public Buildings and Market,
three Churches, four Chapels, several Boarding-houses, and
a number of Druggist Shops; and it is probable that not
only the foregoing, but many mercantile and other establish-
ments will avail themselves of the opportunity of obtaining
a cheap and efficient Light.
The Streets are, generally speaking, macadamised, inter-
sected by canals, and training trenches, perfectly flat, and
the soil alluvial.
Labourers may be obtained at from two-thirds to one
dollar per day.

The Contractors will be required to furnish and erect the
necessary Works, Pipes, Lamps, Posts, &c. and to specify
the rate at which they will contract to furnish each Light,
free of every other expense, which may be required by the
Corporation, for a period of Seven Years from the date of
the first Lighting—the number not to be less than three hun-
dred ; and also to state at what period they will contract to
commence the Lighting.
The Corporation will afford every facility to the Contrac-
tor or Contractors in laying down their Pipes, &c. ; but a
clause will have to he inserted in the Contract to secure to
the Town, under a penalty and security, the due and faith-
ful performance of the Contract.
payment will be made quarterly.
The most advantageous offer, if approved, will be ac-
cepted.

SUM OF MONEY in a lucrative and respectable Business,

of its safety.

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-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 Einperor 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 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
a good stock ,for if Ke-shin acts as
prudently in laying in
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 CAP rAIN
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
