THE OLD FAMILY TEA ESTABLISHMENT,
NO. 7, GREAT GEORGE-PLACE.

T O Families, and the Public in general, a review of the
I vast fluctuations in the article of TEA, during the past
euz four years, would be an instructive, if not 'gratifying, sub-
ject to many ; within which period it is kn n that the mar-
ket value of Tea, in London alone, has een increased and
diminished, in a few hours, to the e. ent of more than a
million of money.
It is unnecessary to state, that huu eds of thousands have
been lost in the whirlpool of speOlation, and the hard-
earned savings of many an industriops man, sacrificed to the
desire of becoming suddenly rich.
Since the reception of the news from China, many influ-
ential speculators who have clung to the last vestige of hope,
have been anxious to sell their Teas at whatever prices they
would realise; hence it is, that, from a residence in the mar-
ket, and the means of purchasing extensively, I am enabled
to sell to the Public at less prices than for several years past.
I now recommend parties to purchase, with confidence, as
the present rates barely remunerate the Importers.
The very diminished Stock of Teas, in all the ports of the
kingdom, makes it highly improbable that the prices will be
lower. The following are the Prices :
BLACK TEAS.
Good ordinary Congou , 3s. Bd.
Good strong Congou, full flavoured.. 4s.—recommended.
Finest Congou, wiry blackish leaf, 4s. Bd.—particularly
recommended.

HISLOP WARNER and CONPANY, after a residence
of nearly twenty years in France, where they acquired the
whole process of Brandy Malting, from the most eminent
Distillers of Cognac, Rochelle, and Montpelier, beg distinctly
to announce, that the article they offer to the Public bears no
resemblance whatever (except, perhaps, in colour) to any of
the British Brandies hitherto made in imitation of the
French.
H. WARNER and Co.'s BRANDY bears mixing with
boiling water, and will stand every other test to which Fo-
reign Brandy may be subjected, being purer and better than
seven-tenths of the Brandy imported into this country,
while its flavour has deceived many of the best judges in the
foreign trade.
H. W. and Co. are fully sensible of the prejudice in fa-
vour of the Article imported direct from France, a feeling
which, however general, they could speedily remove, were
they permitted to divulge the principles which have cost
them so many years of arduous labour and expense, in a
foreign land, to acquire ; this, however. the Public cannot
expect from them, but they pledge themselves that their pro-
cess is, in all respects, the same as that which is adopted and
approved by the most eminent Distillers and Rectifiers on
the Continent, and that their Brandy wants age alone to
render it equal to any French Brandy, with the exception of
the real Cognac, which few only have been fortunate enough
to taste, and scarcely any to possess.
H. WARNER and Co. invite the Trade and -the Public in
general to taste and test their Brandies, from their Store
Vats at the Distillery, and to judge for themselves.
