certainty of their Dividends, and to Shippers of all descrip-
tions of Goods and Live Stock the having a well-supported
Establishment of first-class Steamers, and the lowest rate of

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS.
THE accounts lately received from Macao, brought kite:H-
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 whic4, the
two countries are now at issue being of such difficul ajust-
ment as to render it almost impossible, and certa' y pro-
bable, that any more teas can be obtained fro China for a
very considerable period, a great rise in escriptions of
that article has taken place. Since June t, common black
teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine gree 3s. per lb. Fine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. id. 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. Tier 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.
HOWCIUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the
n,
lf an infe ri or tea,
present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when evenlbH. ysoHa
is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per 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 HW OQUA'S
SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDE R,in Chinese Catty Packages.
N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES PID-
DING" is upon every genuine package.

PARISIAN BITUMEN PAVING COMPANY.
THE opinion of several eminent Engineers having been
1. taken as to the merits of the Bitumen of this Company,
the Directors feel justified in stating that it is capable of
resisting the effects of heat, wet, and frost, and is fully equal,
if not superior, to any of the Asphaltes now in use, while its
, the carriage from London included, is,. msiderably

less. -
The Directors, before mentioning the vie6us uses to which
Bitumen is applicable, have great pleasure in • calling the
attention of parties interested in the subject, to a most mas-
terly exposition of the qualities of this celebrated Mastic,
delivered at the Architectural Society, Lincoln's Inn Fields,
by Mr. Tite, who brought to the task not only a compre-
hensive knowledge of what had been done, but a mind deeply
imbued with the conviction that much yet remained to do
towards developing all.theosources of which such a material
was capable.
The Directors are well aware that the qualities of their
Bitumen, to be appreciated, must be known, and feeling
that the public will soon be freed from those prejudices
against its use which carelessness of application has alone
generated, beg to say, that they have ready prepared a large
quantity of Bitumen of a proper consistency applicable to the
following purposes, viz. :
To the Covering of. Viaducts, or Arches of Railways, Bridges,
Catacombs, Wine Vaults, Cellars, &c.
To the Paving of Pathways, Court Yards, Garden Walks,
Stables, Coach•houses, Barns, Tun Rooms, Malt Houses,
Granaries, Warehouses, Wharfs, Esplanades, Cause-

ways, &c.
To be delivered in Liverpool or Manchester, the first at £3,
the second at £2 10s. per Ton.
The Directors will execute any of the above Works, in Li-
verpool, Manchester, or the Neighbourhood, at ss. 6d. the
square yard, 11 inch thick, inclusive of all expenses.
Directions for Use will be forwarded with any quantity.
And the Directors will guarantee the Durability of Works
executed by the Company.
J. DICKINSON, Secretary and Superintendent.
Naptha, Pitch Tar, (raw and refined,) Tar Oil, Black
Varnish, and Lamp Black, in any quantities, at reasonable
