TAE-PEACE
AND
PING-PLENTY

TT is with the above appropriate characters—the Eng-
lish signification of which is " Peace and Plenty," that
CAPT. PIDDING'S Chinese correspondent heads his
last communication from Fo-kein. " Heaven," he adds,
" approving, has rained down blessings on the Central
Nation. In the same Season, Peace is proclaimed, and
Plenty crowns the Land. Since the year 4-I18," (A. D.
1811,) " when the Earth was revivified by the broom-
tailed Star," (comet,) vegetation has not been so luxuri-
ant as now. The air, redolent of perfume from the fra-
grant tea-blossoms, manifests its fine quality ; whilst the
plentiful picking shows how abundant is the precious leaf.
Thus has nature conspired with the gods to make man
happy."
The new Season's crop of CAPT. PIDDING'S TEAS,
just received, realises all that he anticipated from the
above communication.. Their quality is most assuredly
the finest he has known, Their abundance—with a remis-
sion of duties in prospect—has determined him at once to
reduce the price below what they have ever before been
charged.
CAPTAIN PIDDING'S MIXED BLACK TEA is
accordingly REDUCED from Bs. 6d. the Catty Package
to 6s. the Pound Package. His SMALL LEAF GUN-
POWDER is REDUCED from 'l%;e.lve Shillings the
Catty Package to Bs. 6d. the Pound Package.
The Signature of the Sole Importer, " Captain JOHN
RHODES PIDDING," Hon. Company's Service, Fellow
Med. Bet. Society, &c., is on every Genuine Package.

MR. HODGSON (AUCTIONEER and APPRAISER)
respectfully invites the attention of the Public to
his SPLENDID Establishment,
50, CHURCH-STREET,

which is allowed to be the most extensive in Liverpool,
and excelled by few in the Metropolis; the Mart thus
affording to purchasers the best opportunity of securing
HOUSEHOLD GOODS AND EFFECTS

as every article which domestic comfort can require or
wealth command is exhibited to the visitor in infinite
variety.

The Rooms are unusually lofty, giving facilities for ►he
display of every description of Coods. In measurement
the first Sale-room exceeds 90 feet by 20 feet. and the two
Anti-rooms each 70 feet by 17 feet, together with a spa
cious Warehouse contiguous, which having the advantage
of being on the ground floor, are better calculated for
Sales of HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE, Manufacturers'
STOCKS, GLASS, CHINA, &c. In addition to which,
Mr. Hoooso's has built a Commodious
PICTURE GALLERY

manufactured Modern Furniture, as well as other Goods,

a guarantee for every attention to their interests, assuring
those who may have occasion to purchase, that the prac-
tice too frequently adopted of procuring New Furniture,
manufactured by unskilled artificers, is in many cases
attended with an immense pecuniary sacrifice in the first
instance, and a serious loss eventually, from inattention to
the material by the manufacturer.
