EDWARD GILBERT respectfully informs his Friends,
and the Inhabitants generally of Liverpool, of the Dis-
solution of the Partnership hitherto subsisting between
himself and Mr. Orchard, and also that it is his intention to
carry on the Establishment solely on his own account.
In soliciting a continuance of those favours which the late
firm were so liberally supplied with, the Proprietor confi-
dently asserts that, in point of quality and price, no House
can supply the Public more to their advatinage in the Articles
he sells, particularly in TEAS; and the circumstances that
give him this superiority over the rest of the Trade, consist
in a thorough search which he has made through the Liver-
pool, Bristol, and London Tea Markets, a careful comparison
of the different qualities, so as to select the very finest and
most serviceable Teas, and a determination to offer them
for Sale at the very lowest remunerating profit.
These TEAS be now respectfully offers to the Public,
earnestly soliciting a trial of them, and invites comparison
with any House in the Trade

PRIZE WHEAT.
TO THE AGRICULTURISTS OF LINCOLNSHIRE, &C.
Newly-discovered \Vheat, " Four-square-headed-Red
Britannia," by THOS. FITI.LARD, Thorney , near
Peterboro', fresh imported, fresh to the soil, fresh to the
atmosphere. One quarter of it will sow from 6to 7 acres.
The production of this seed this year has proved beyond a
doubt that it is well calculated for this country. Lord
Chesterfield's representative has the highest opinion of it,
and numbers of the largest farmers in the six adjoining
counties say ther never witnessed any thing equal to it. One
gentleman, who has very poor laud, has informed me that he
is selling his crop of this \Vheat at £8 per quarter, and he
has had 11 quarters to the acre. Mr. Abbot, 'cif L'oudham,
has sold my Wheat at. £8 per quarter; it was the best crop
in the neighbourhood. 50 bushels of this Wheat will make
more money than 100 bushels of common Wheat. The best
seed is best for the community, best for improvement, best
for the landlord, best for the tenant, best for the poor. It is
the greatest object to the Wheat grower to select the proper
\Vheat for Seed: the common sort is ruinous. From 1
Porter of my Wheat Mr. Shield grew 440 bushels; Mr.
'lr. Hodson, from 2 bushels 13 quarters, 6 bushels; Mr.
Carisbrook, near Lincoln, had three labourers who had
Pieces of ground all alike; one sowed my Wheat and had as
Much as the other two; this shows by little what men may
:10. I have received au order from Windsor for this Wheat
"t seed the Queen's farm. The Yorkshire farmers pre-
sented me with a piece of plate for the benefit they received
r'ot this new discovery. The gold medal in London has
NTell awarded me for the merit of the introduction of this
f i flpheat. A farmer can no mere fight his way now without
i"in,l the new-improved specimens than a soldier can
ght without arms. The time I hope now is come for every
dice to make every improvement and break down all preju-
- and not act as if they were m bondage. I know Ima
the try to swallow all London, and drench it down with y
- Thames, as to attempt to turn some people. I hope to
