AS SUPPLIED TO THE ROYAL TABLE,

HOWQUA'S MIXTURE of 40 rare Black TEAS, and
HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER, in
Chinese Catty Packages.
The Sole Proprietor of the above celebrated Teas, is Capt.
JoHN RtionEs PIDDING, (late Commander of the Hon.
Company's ship Thames, of 1400 tons.)
Captain Pidding having made Etc 14T VOYAGES tO CHINA,
embraced the opportunity, when at Canton, of securing to
himself the exclusive importation of these Teas; and he sup-
plies them to the Public, through ONE Agent in each town.
GEORGE CARLYLE, Repository, 86, Bold-street,
SOLE AGENT for LIVERPOOL.

In an action brought by Capt. Pidding, against a person
who counterfeited his title and packages, it was proved before
the Vice-Chancellor, on the affidavit of Mr. William Styan,
an eminent Broker, of 27 years' experience, employed to test
the merits of these Teas,

" That Captain Pidding's HOITCWA'S MIXTURE' is a tea
of a peculiar flavor, and composed of many varieties of black
teas, all of the finest quality; that it has a character peculiar
to itself—A FINE NATURAL AROMA. And

"That HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOIAMEIV is Gun-
powder Tea of the very finest quality, and that such tea
could not be bought in the market.

"W. Styan `"Sworn at the Public Office, Chancery-lane,
this Bth day of May, 1837, before me,
" Filed Bth of May, 1837." " N. W. SENIOR.
It was also proved on oath, that Captain Pidding's Teas
were supplied for the Royal Use.
Dr. Johnson, late physician to Geo. IV., considers this the
best of Teas, and uses no other. As Author of "The Eco-
nomy of Health," &c., his testimony is invaluable: he writes
thus:— " Nov. 22, 1837.

" SlR,—Ever since your ' Howqua's Mixture' Tea was
first introduced, myself and family have used it, indeed only
it, and we have no hesitation in giving it the preference to
all others. " Yours, Bz.c.

" To Capt. Pidding." ".TAMES JOHNSON, M.D.
Its superior excellence is further proved, by G, Sigmond,
M.D., F.L S., &e., who, in a lecture on tea, delivered on
the 14th of November, before the Medico-Botanical Society,
stated—" The Hone Merchants used not generally to deliver
for exportation their finest sorts of teas. It was proved by
the fact that since the opening of the trade new varieties
had been brought to England, and, in particular, a tea under
the name of the richest and the most esteemed of the Hong
Merchants, which had been very much and very deservedly
prized, and the' Howqua'sMixture' has now become

"A STANDARD TEA IN THIS COUNTRY."

It is impossible to furnish snore conclusive proof of its su-
periority. The term "standard" comprehends every good
quality.
These Teas consist of " HONVOLIA'S MIXTURE" (black
tea), at 6s. per lb., or Bs. the catty package. " HOWQOA'S
SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER," at Bs. 71d. per lb., is lls. 6d.
the catty package. Each package contains Ilb. and one.
third nett of tea.

CAUTION !—The names of C. VER RE Y, 218, Regent-street,
and 'l'. LITTLEJOHN, 77, King William-street, City, Sole
Agents for London, are upon every genuine catty. All
others are spurious,
