TO THE PUBLIC

IN issuing our first " Annual Circular," we feel that it
would be wrong in us to select one class of the commu-
nity to address only, having been so liberally supported by
all.

The principle on which we first sought encouragement was
intended to be fundamental, and on the same we now confi-
dently rest. To supply a now necessary article in every
family, at the lowest possible advance on first cost, we con-
sider to be the " ne plus ultra," could it,he attained ; and,
feeling confident of our ability to secure at system of cor-
respondence at every port, which vilMave nothing in any
market unknown to us, we were emboldened to make the ex-
periment ; the result we now confideatly refer to as as a legi-
timate ground for an enlarged and increasing support. We
have been enabled, by the various ramifications of our busi-
ness, to secure already by far the largest connexion in this
county, and, we may say, any where out of the Metropolis.
TEA, our principal article, will be now more than ever
" the favourite beverage in this country." A reduced duty,
we have reason to predict, will add to the advantages to be
derived from an " open trade ;" and our advices from the
other side convince us that more pains will be taken in the
selection in proportion to the encouragement given to con-
sumption here. We are guided by this information regularly
transmitted to us by each overland mail from India, and we,
therefore, regulate our imports and purchases just so as to
anticipate future results. Unlimited resources, added to long
experience in the selection of qualities, aid us in securing
only such parcels as cannot be superseded in advantage by
sub-sequentsarrivals. Our only object is to secure as much
advantage and credit to ourselves as service to our support-
ers alone can command.

Already the effect of opening new ports in China has oper
ated to damp the confidence of those who have been conr- -
vators of Stock, and the Merchants have given way in prices.
Ere we issue this Circular, we have been ourselves to London
and other ports, and find the records of the past sales merely
nominal, our purchases having been made from 2d. to 3d. per
lb. lower than then established ; and having anticipated this,
the benefit is now given to our friends, and superior Congou
Tea (Souchong flavour) is now to be had at 4s. per lb. This
has been hitherto only known by profession—what others
have said, we can now do. The finer grades of Tea have
given way to the now irresistible advance of " Free 7'rade"
still more. We have now reached the climax, when more
than 100 per cent. reduction on the old East India Compa-
ny's terms may be proved—say the 14s. and 12s. Green Teas
at 7s. and 6s. per lb.—the 10s. down to ss.—and Bs. down
to 4s.—each quality supported, not imitated.
The largest Tea Sales since the year 1838 have just con-
chided, and Bohea Tea sold from 2s. 9d. to 2s. 10d., duty
paid ; Congou from 3s. 2d. to 4s. ld., duty paid, but the
largest part sold at 3s. Sid. per lb. ; Souchongs from 4s. 2d.
to 4s. 7d. per lb.. duty paid. With this statement before
you, you will perceive that, with the extent of our business,
we are in a position to deal out Teas at wholesale prices;
and, from the above information, you can judge at what price
to obtain good quality. Our prices are for—

In COFFEE the world is now open—every port may send
and does send its produce, the maximum duty of Sd. per lb.
being 25 per cent. lower than what, a few years since, was
the privileged bonus of Is. per lb. We refer you to our quo-
tations, as follows—

We call particular attention to the plan we have found it
necessary to adopt, to prevent families being imposed upon
by persons whom they send for our Teas. In several in-
stances, on the papers being brought back, we have found the
prices obliterated, and a higher one substituted, to our injury
in every respect, many, from this circumstance, being in-
duced to suppose our professions of no value. To prevent a
recurrence of this practice, we shall mark the price on the
wrapper that contains the Tea, where it always will be found
on inspection. We suggest, however, that in all cases a
written order is the best ; it is security to both seller and
buyer that the proper article is delivered.
We are your obedient servants,

late Surgeon to the Dispensary for the 'Diseases of the Lungs

for Asthma, Consumption. and Diseases of the Heart, 94,

" I have availed myself of every opportunity which has
presented to adopt this mode of treatment in pulmonary
cases. I can confidently assert that, almost in every instance,
it has afforded immediate relief."—Dr. Vertables Letter to
the Author.

`• We have much pleasure—which we do from our own
personal experience, as well as that of our friends—to pay a
tribute to the extraordinary success of Dr. Croniu's emir-
tions in curing cases of consumption, which have been deemed
by eminent men of the faculty incurable."—Court Gazette,

BIELEFELD'S PAPIER MACHE PICTURE
FRAMES,
26, NORTH JOHN-STREET,
six DOORS FROM LORD-STREET.

A RTISTS, PICTURE DEALERS, arid others, are in-
-1-1 formed that a New and Miniature Work is now pub-
lishing, containing Drawings of Fifty Picture Frames, ma-
nufactured in BIELEFELD'S PAPIER MACHE, from
some of the finest Carvings of the seventeenth century.
They are clearly drawn, on a very small,seale, upon thin
tinted paper, and can be forwarded by past, upon the receipt
of six Postoflice Stamps ; the pricWand dimensions are
attached, and the Frames can be hart,either in plain Oak and
Gold, or Gilt. There is a number to each, by which an order
may be sent from any part of the country.
" The Frames of Mr. Bielefeld present the best charac-
teristics of fine carving; the course of the chisel, though
subdued, is everywhere apparent, and the liberal resort to
undercutting, and occasional nearly alto-relief, realize the
peculiar finesse and spirit of the best manipulists among the
old carvers in wood, substituting for the dull, prim, and me-
chanical mediocrity of works in putty composition, an easy,
liberal, and artistic dexterity in the execution, which must
be appreciated by every lover of the excellent. They may be
recommended also on other grounds ; when conveyed from
place to place, (to provincial exhibitions, for example,) they
are liable to no injury from chipping, as the common Frames
are. An essential advantage also is, thatthese Frames weigh
no more than half the weight of the usual Frames of the
same size. We strongly urge upon Artists to visit this Esta-
blishment, and examine for themselves."—Art Union.
" The Frames for Pictures and Chimney Glasses are of the
most elaborate workmanship ; one that we saw, 7 feet by 5
feet, was adorned with foliage of the most beautiful descrip-
tion, with cupidsin alto-relievo, copied from a fine specimen
of old oak carving."—Civil Engineer and -Architects'
Journal.

" Of course Papier Mache is no novel product, but in the
hands of Mr. Bielefeld its application is decidedly new. He
has given to it qualities which At it for works upon the
grandest scale, as well as for the most minute, from the
enriched groinings and sceen-work of a Cathedral, to the
curvilinear or scroll border of a frame."—Polyleehmle
