LIVERPOOL, MARCH, 1851.
ROYAL BANK BUILDINGS.-
It was at one time predicted that there would be a great
scarcity of Tea during the present season, and speculators
were prepared to take advantage of such an event, to the de.
trirnent of consumers.

.
This expectation, so far from being realisid, has entirely
vanished, in consequonce of the„gefy large supplies which
have reached this country, es gefally in the course of the last
two months. Importers e. in consequence, found it to
be to their advantage to willing sellers on arrival of cargoes,
and upon terms wine eon the whole highly advantageous
to family purchase , particalarly when supplied on the prin-
ciple which have consistently maintained—that of
' affording th greatest adcantage in PRICE, with every
possible security as to QUALITY."
The mode of importing Tea this year has been, in great mea-
sure, altered in consequence of the change made in our Navi-
gation Laws. Since that change was effected, American
Shipowners have extensively embarked in the English and
China trade, in direct competition with the British Shipping
interest. A class of superior and fast-sailing vessels has thus
been brought into active employment in this important depart-
ment of our maritime enterprise. This interference has already
caused a ruinous decline in the rate of freights in the China
trade—those charged upon Tea having fallen from .e 5 or £6
per ton, to so low a sum as from .el Ios. to £2 per ton. Many
of the homeward voyages this season have been effected in a
remarkably short time, which must necessarily act greatly be
favour of the consumers in England, by bringing the Tea tO
market in better condition.

Under the circumstances thus briefly alluded to, we are now
prepared to call the immediate attention of Family Purchasers
to a quality of Black Tea, which will give unequivocal satisfac-
tion, and which we shall deal out at 3s. 6d. per lb. The surest
and the safest way of proving this quality and of testing our
recommendation, will be found in the purchase of a quarter
pound sample—for laid.

As we continue to be exceedingly unpopular with those
gentlemen who have so long been in the habit of following the
snug and very profitable trade of dividing and distributing
Chests of Tea,—ostensibly by way of conferring an obligation
upon their friends, but ready to secure a large pecuniary advan-
tage to themselves,—as professed dealers, we are ready to stand
or fall in the estimation of those familieswho may have been thus
supplied, if the quality of Tea now offered at 3s. 6d. per lb.
should not be found superior in strength and flavour tc tha
which such gentlemen have kindly supplied at any price.

- - -
It affords us much pleasure to acknowledge that, for some
years past, there has been an increasing demand for our selec—
tion of Black Teas in the Colonies, as well as in the Continental
and other Foreign Ports.

Extended arrangements have been made for the supply of
such Colonial and Foreign demand (in bond), on terms in strict
accordance with those which we have uniformly recognised in
our Home trade, and which have been so signally ratified by
the seal of public approbation. This system of business is
eminently calculated to secure a continued increase of mutually
advantageous transactions; maintaining as we do, that supe-
riority of quality has a greater relative effect than lowness of
price, both in Foreign markets and in England. Prompt attest: i
tion to all orders will he paid, and great care will be taken s
their execution, whilst no charges will be made for shipping.
The steadily progressing character of our business affords ns
every er.couragement for the future, and furnishes the strongest
possible reason for adherence to our original maxim— that of
rendering QUALITY the primary consideration, and regulating
PRICE upon strictly economical principles. Pursuing this plan,
we still feel confident that our own interest, as involved in the
question of PROFIT, will be fully secured by an increasing
demand.

*** To prevent the annoyance which frequently swi ses from 0%-
cious importunity, we beg leave to intimate to our friends that
we have made it an invariable rule not to permit any of our
young men at the counter to offer any Tea or Coffee on sale
unless asked for by purchasers.

A 20-inch Chest was publicly tested before the authorities o f

Safe was publicly tested before the authorities of Glasgow, on
the 17th October, 18.50, FOR THREE AND A HALF HOURS, (a
space of time longer it. each instance than any Safe, 4.c., of
similar dimensions, has ever yet been subjected to.) The certi-

gentlemen respectively, both being the signatures of scientific,
commercial, and practical men.
TANN'S SAFES

At the late fire in Water-lane, Blackfriare,London, one of
Tann's Safes preserved its contents uninjured, while SAFES or
OTHER DESCRIPTIONS ENTIRELY FAILED.

Safes made if Sheet Iron and even Tin Plates have lately
been sold as Fire-proof; experience, however, has settled the
fact beyond doubt, that Safes constructed out of such materfals
cannot stand the test; to call such perishable articles Fire-
proof is to pervert the meaning of words. See Morning Chron-
tole of September 25th, 1850, Timer, September 26th, and Daily

then, the prospects of the yield have been more grossly exag-

point has not yet been reached in Liverpool. When the
purpose of certain parties shall have been attained, we may
look for estimates approximative to the final result, hut not till
then. In the meantime, we prefer to stem the current of error;
and as it has never yet occurred to the writer of these lines to
he mistaken in his views of the crop, grounded as they are on
careful and disinterested observation, we have merely to repeat
that the production will not exceed 2,200,000 bales, or equal in
weight to 2,100,000 to 2,150,000 hales of last year. None of the
circulars written between the 17th and 19thof January last can
change our conviction.

serviceable article of female dress, in every variety of
colour, and though over one yard wide, would dispose of
it so low as 6d. per yard. To give some idea of the qua-
lity of the material, it is only necessary to state that 164
yards of it weighed 311 b.; and another piece of 184 yards,
41b. 15oz. Much as is said of the importance of forward-
ing native manufacture, the speculation in this case has
turned out a perfect failure, for this industrious man has
now over 5.000 yards of it on hand, for which he can
obtain no sale whatever. For use in workhouses, lunatic

WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT-FRIDAY

BETHELL tt. HOARE.—THE FUNERAL OF " TOM
STEELE."•—This was an action to recover £25 Bs. for the
funeral of the late Mr. Steele, which has been pending
some time for the attendance of Mr. John O'Connell,
M.P., and Mr. Reynolds, M.P., who had been subpoenaed
to produce all the lists of subscriptions received by them
for the funeral of the " Pacificator," and for the relief of
his family. Mr. John O'Connell attended to the subpoena.
but it appeared that the amount sued for had been pre-
viously paid into Court.

Lord Harrowby has disclaimed having voted in favor of
the bill for legalising marriages with a deceased wife's
sister. His lordship paired off against it.
Four of the most eminent counsel in the kingdom—
Messrs. Turner, Bethel], Keating, and Kenyon—have
given an opinion that the university commission " is not
constitutional, or legal, or such as the university or its
members are bound to obey; and that the commission
cannot be supported by any authority of the Crown, either
as visitor, under any prerogative or other right."
The motion in Metairie v. Wiseman, was continued
last week, before Lord Cranworth, when Mr. Bagshawe
continued his argument for the defendant Cooke; after
which Mr. Stuart addressed the court for the defendant
Holdstock, and was followed by Mr. Campbell. An order
was agreed to on Friday, by consent of both parties, for
the transfer of the funds, together with the dividends,
into Court. The further proceedings were adjourned.
Maclean's Divorce bill was read a second time in the
House of Lords on Thursday week. The petitioner was
Archibald Niel Maclean, a Major in the Bth Bombay
Native Infantry, who married in 1834, a Miss Mary Lewis
Pelley, of Woodlands, Somersetshire. The divorce was
prayed on the plea of the adultery of the wife with one
Capt. Cristall, recently deceased. The discovery of the
adulterous intercourse had the effect of impairing the
reason of the unfortunate petitioner.

BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—At the assizes
at Lewes, on Tuesday, Miss Rosa Crace, a respectable
young woman, who has, through the misfortunes of her
family, been compelled to support herself as a governess,
recovered £2OO damages from Mr. William -Henry Wil-
son, a landing-waiter of London, for a breach of his
promise to marry her. An attempt was made by the de-
fendant to prove that Miss Crace had absolved him from
his promise, but it failed. On the contrary, it appeared
that he had paid his addresses to her some years; that he
had obtained his situation in the Customs through the
influence of her family ; that her brother had lent him
£5O to enable him to commence housekeeping, and that
he had withdrawn his premise at the last moment, when

having persuaded him to break off the match.
The Heathcote Divorce Bill was read a second time
in the house of Lords on Thursday. Capt. Heathcote,
R.N., the applicant for the divorce, married Miss Lucy

Thit ELECTION RUMOURS.—The Chester Courant says,--
no opposition will be offered to the return of the font
county members for Cheshire ; that in Flintshire the 'VII;
E. M. L. Mostyn is to retire, but that his son Mr. Th°'
Mostyn, whose majority was lately celebrated with 8:
much eclat, is to offer himself as a candidate for the
shire boroughs ; that in this case Sir John Hanmer is
stand for the county of Flint, where he is to be opP°Ta
by the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, who is about
make Hawarden his residence ; that in Denbighshire
John Williams, whose convivial humours have given greift
offence to the lords and snobs of the Macclesfield s f
mills, meditates a descent upon the boroughs, in oil;
which be was born ; and that in the county, Colonel BI
dulph will become a candidate on Whig principles, dilute,:
with the Stanley mixture of a ss. duty on foreign imPortgi
that in this instance therefore warm work at any rate 0311/
be anticipated. The further talk is, that the mention ?;
Mr. Gladstone as a candidate for Flintshire seems to in3PY
that he is about to take a course, which will render hiS
re-election for the Oxford University doubtful, or that h 0
would hardly leave his alma mater to represent his adopt t
home among the picturesque beauties of Flintshire ; th
he would no doubt defeat StrJohn Hanmer, who is a in°'
slippery politician, but that it yet remains to be seen Ie•
ther Mr. Gladstone's views will be in accordance i'n'"
those of the Welsh electors, who are decidedly in favla
of Protection and dead against the Pope ; that before Li°
Fielding unhappily apostatised, general expectation pointeo
to him as the coming candidate to succeed Mr. Mnstitil s
but when his lordship put on the chains of St. Peter a
Rome, he snapped the last link that bound him as .
public man to the affections and hopes of the Flints
squirearchy.

found land Company, in 1844, she subsequently had two
children to her husband. During her husband's absence
in 1848 and 1849, Mrs. Heathcote was visited by her own
brother, a young profligate fellow, about 24 years of age,
who had been a mate in the royal navy. By this brother
she had a child in 1850. An action for crim. con. was
brought by the petitioner against this person, when he
suffered judgment to go by default; and upon the iaquiry
as to damages afterwards before the sheriff, the jury awar-
ded £lOOO to the plaintiff. No part of that has been paid,

and sentenced to seven years' transportation.
LIBEL.—At the assizes held at Lewes, on Wednesday,
an action was brought before Mr. Baron Parke and a spe-
cial jury, by Henry Hart, to recover damages from Messrs.
Bradbury and Evans, the proprietors of Punch. The
plaintiff, who is of the Jewish persuasion, had been taken
into custody for inciting a young man, rrAmed Newland,
to rob his employers ; and it will be recollected that about
the same period another Jew, named Barnett, was
charged with a similar offence. Upon the trial of the
plaintiff it turned out that Newland had told 't rr
