CAPTAIN PIDDING'S 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 Captain JoHN
RHODES PIDDING. Every genuine Package bears his Signa-
ture. All others are spurious. The unwholesome trash
pirated under similar titles renders this precaution necessary

PIRACY! CAUTION! !

Captain Pidding made eightvoyages to China ; in securing
the exclusive importation of these Teas, and if purchasers
will notice his signature, they will avoid counterfeits.
In au action brought by Captain Pidding, against a person
who counterfeited his packages, it was proved, before the
Vice-Chancellor, on the affidavit of Mr. Styan, a broker of 27
years' experience, employed to test these Teas,
"That Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE is a Tea
of a peculiar flavour, 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 GUNPOWDER' iS Gun-
powder Tea of the very finest quality, and that such Tea
could not be bought in the market."
"W. Styan." f "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 the
the best of Teas, and uses no other. As Author of " The
Economy of Health," &c., hisi testimony is invaluable, his
writes thus

" Suffolk-place, London, Nov. 22, 1837.
" SIR,— 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, &c..
"To Capt. Pidding." " JAMES JOHNSON, M.D."
Dr. Sigmond, F.L.S., in a lecture on tea, lately
delivered before the Medico-Botanical Society, stated, " That
since the opening of the trade, new varieties of Tea had been
brought too England, and, in particular, a Tea under the
flame of the richest and the most esteemed of the Hong
Merchants, which had been very much and very deservedly
prized, and Captain Pidding's Howqua's Mixture' has now
become
" THE STANDARD TEA IN THIS COUNTRY.' "

The term " standard comprehends every good quality.
These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's " HowctuA's
MIXTURE" (Black Tea) at 6s. per lb., is Bs. the Catty Pack-
age. " HOWCLUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER," at Bs. 7id.
per lb., is lls. 6d. the Catty Package: Each Package con-
tains 11b. and one-third nett of Tea.

FRASER'S MAGAZINE.
ADDRESS FROM THE PROPRIETOR TO THE PUBLIC.

PEN years have now elapsed since this Magazine was first
started ; and the Proprietor thinks that he will not be
liable to the charge of unnecessary intrusion if he, for the
first time in his own person, ventures thus to address the
public.
The Magazine which bears his name was ushered into the
world in 1830, without a single advertisement or preliminary
announcement ; and it has, with constantly increasing suc-
cess, worked its way onward to 1840, solely by the public
favour, accorded to its undeniable honesty of criticism, its
unflinching boldness and consistency in politics, and the
literary talent which he, without vanity, may say it has
always displayed from the %beginning. The stirring period
in which its first years of existence were cast, no doubt con-
tributed, to the advancement of a Magazine which never
scrupled to express uncompromising opinions on passing
events (events, as all must admit, of vital, lasting, and
spreading importance) and which, from its undeviating
course, could be always counted upon, whether as ally or
enemy, in every emergency. It would, however, be unjust
to the numerous contributors of the Magazine—and the list
comprises men of the highest talent in every department of
literature, and some among them diametrically opposed to
its avowed party feelings—if its success were attributed
wholly to the position it has taken in the political world. It
would be invidious to select any names ; but to all persons
ever so slightly acquainted with our literature, many of de-
served eminence and distinction will immediately occur ; and
what is of more consequence to the readers, the acknowledg-
ed literary merit of its articles will, without reference to any
name whatever, be sufficient to account for the favour which
it has attained, on grounds wholly distinct from those of
party advocacy.
The Proprietor has not lost (except by death, which, alas !
in the course of nature must, in the period of ten years, have
invaded the ranks of his friends) one of his original contri-
butors, but he has been favoured by the support of many
others of talent and distinction. In literary ability, he hopes,
therefore, that his succeeding volumes will improve upon
those which have passed ; or, at least, they will not fail to
maintain the distinction which the Magazine has already
earned. With respect to politics, it is probable that the
years now coming on will be of deeper interest even than
those which have just elapsed. He does not wish to assume
the character of a political writer ; but, in- common with all
who can read omens in what is going forward, he feels that
au eventful time is at hand. In all the emergencies that may
be anticipated from the seed sown by the Whigs during ten
years, FRASER'S MAGAZINE will continue to pursue the
same right onward course in the " forties" which it has main-
tained in the " thirties," turning neither to the right hand or
to the left,—not fainting in heart, nor wearied in exertion, to
maintain, to the utmost of its ability, the cause of Conserva-
tism—the cause of Church and State—the cause of God and
our country. All who are connected with it feel that they
have a right to expect that this promise may not be deemed
idle or insincere; their conduct in years past affording a fair
guarantee for what their conduct will be in years to come.
Under these circumstances the Proprietor looks forward,
with more than hope, to a still increasing circulation. The
number of volumes, however—twenty—to which his Maga-
zine has extended, opposes, from their cost, an objection in
the minds of many to commencing subscriptions to a work,
of which, without considerable expense, they cannot obtain
a complete set. The proprietor, therefore, acting under the
advice of many friends, and yielding to several applications
made to him on the subject, has reduced the price from £l5,
the present cost of a full set, to £7 lOs ; for which he offers
twenty large volumes of carefully written articles on all the
subjects which have engrossed public attention during the
last ten years ; papers on the state, the strength, the relative
position of parties. To Conservative statesmen, of such
value as almost to be indispensable, and to their antagonists
of no small service, as showing,, the points on which we think
they can be most dangerously assailed. Essays of"high
interest in the Religious world, on the Protestant Church
