IN announcing the formation of this Association, the
Committee feel that little introduction from them is ne-
cessary to ensure from the Public their hearty concurrence and,
support, seeing the benefit which would accrue to all classes of
the community from the realization of the object they have
in view.
It has long been the conviction of Philanthropists, that the
feeling
but espe-
cially
and
temperance, obtaining for the poor, at a moderate price, a beverage 50
wholesome as Tea, would be an inestimable boon, not merely
o accountn o
ncc
000 t
of itslt tof its
comfort
tendency as a
to article
promote
ofd
ciaisloyuase
l temperance, with all the domestic and orderly habits conse-
quent thereupon.

Ample experience has also convinced the merchants engAged
in the trade with China, as well as those engaged in
the Tea
trade at home, that our export trade with the Chinese is n
danger, and that, to preserve it, there is the most urgent neces-
sity for a large reduction of the present high duty on Tea.
The Committee earnestly request attention to the following
considerations:on this important subject :
That the present duty on Tea is exorbitant, being 2s.
per lb., or nearly 200 per cent. on the average value, and IN°
300:to 400 per cent. on the lower qualities, a much higher duty
than that imposed on any other necessary of life.
That pressing, as this duty does, most heavily on the lower
kinds, it prevents the use of Tea amongst the most nunler°nl
class of our countrymen.
That the original cost of Tea is very moderate, the bull: of
the qualities generally consumed varying from Bd, to 2s. per
and that its consumption is restricted by no indisposition 0."
the part of the Public to purchase it, but by its high PriCe'
caused solely by the present oppressive duty. : -
That there is scarcely a limit to the capacity or the disposit°
of the Chinese to purchase our manufactures.
That while, as already stated, our Duty on Tea ranges
200 to 400 per cent., the Chinese admit our imports st
ad valorem duty of five per cent.
As•to
That this impolitic duty materially limits our expo.--.d.
China, and seriously interferes with the employment of lab°w;
The Committee feel confident that a similar increase to tlO
which ;has taken place in the consumption of Coffee, bY
material reduction of the Duty, may be anticipated fro'"
proportionate reduction of the duty on Tea.
That thereby the consumption of Tea would be greatly 34'
mented, and the revenue correspondingly benefited.
„rd
The Committee feel assured that there will hardly be ,°:,tf
a single oppiment to the justice of their claim, and that it t
requires the hearty co-operation of the public to ensure suC
cess. 0;
They have much pleasure in annexing a list of subscript,-D1
already' receive *, and they respectfully solicit the assistance
the public n furtherance of the object of the Association.
Su scriptions will be received by the Treasurer, or Alif
member of the Committee.

GENERAL Complaint has long been made of the
unwholesome quality of the Bread and Flour with which
the Public in this town is supplied, and of the very high prices
.it'which it is sold, the Bread being at the present moment
'sold 30 per cent higher here than at Birmingham.
Much attention has, consequently, been directed to the re-
'lnedy for those: evils and vigorous efforts have been made by
-,me of the Weekly Journals to obtain from the trade better
treatment for the pnblic,but, as yet, with little practical effect
..;t is therefore proposed to establish in this town a Joint Stock
Association of the consumers of -Flour and Bread, for the pur-
pose of supplying the public with a good wholesome•article at a
moderate price, Several of these Associations are in existence
in different parts of the country, with advantage both to the
shareholders and to the public at large. At Birmingham there
are five companies, of moderate capital, one of which (the Old
Union Mill)has been established about fifty years, the original
shares of being now worth from 6to and so exten-
sive is their trade, that they now dispose of, weekly, five hun-
dred sacks of flour made into bread, and two hundred sacks for
general purposes. In addition to this company paying a hand-
some dividend to the shareholders, they are enabled at the,
present time to render the usual quartern loaf (41b. 40z.) for
lid, to the consumer.
It is intended by the proposed Company to erect Mills and a
Bakery, for the purpose of grinding corn and supplying the
public with good wholesome bread on the lowest possible
terms.
A respectable Committee of Manageinent has already been
formed, and it is proposed to invest the property of the Com-
pany in the ?lames of five unexceptionable trustees.
As it is desirous to extend the number of shareholders, no
enson will be permitted to hold more than twenty shares.
A considerable number of shares having been already taken
up, persons desirous of becoming shareholders should make
early application, by letter, to Messrs. AVISON and PRITT,
Solicitors, Cook street, Liverpool.

PROSPECTUS.
THE
object of this Company is to construct a Line
of Rail. vay -between Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport.
The accommodation proposed. to be thus given has long been
•desired, lint tires-difficulty of obtaining a convenient entrance
into LiverpOol has until lately proved an insurmountable ob-
%tacit. This difficulty the Liverpool and Bury Railway, now in
course of construction, affords the means of overcoming, it
being proposed by the present scheme to make use of that line
for nearly al-ode-Linda half out of Liverpool, and thence pro-
ceed, by way of Bootle. Seaforth, Waterloo, Crosby, and along
the coast, through Formby, to Southport, •affording to those
.places and the _adjacent farm districts a cheap and speedy
means of communication with Liverpool. On the other hand,
the benefits.to the over-crowded population of Liverpool in a
.sanitory% point of view, by giving ready access to the rapidly
increasing Bathing Places along the coast, the district of Cros-
.by, and the much-frequented and salubrious watering place of
Southport, as wellus throwing open the intermediate country
for the purposes cf Villas and Residences, cannot well be over-
estimated.

The undertaking is promoted by the principal Landowners
and other parties locally interested.
The,Line is about sixteen miles in length, and, being nearly
level is entirely free from engineering -difficulties. A consi-
derable part of the land between Crosby and Southport, over
which it will pass, has already been given by the landowners,
and the cost of construction will be unusually.small.
The liability of each• Shareholder willbe restricted by Act of
Parliament to the amount of his subscription, and power will
be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at per cent. on all
calls from thepassing of the Act until the opening of the Line.
Applicatious for Shares may be made, in the subjoined form,
on or before the 6th of November next, to the Solicitors, or to
any of the following• Sharebrokers:—Messrs. D. and J. B.
,NEILSON,„or Messrs. ASPINALL and HUGHES, Liverpool ;
ROBERT MiEw.EN, Esq., Manchester; or to Messrs. HILL,
YAWCE'TT, and HILL, 29, Threadneedle street, London.
In the allotment of shares, a preference will lie given to par-
-ties having local 'interest, and a reserve will be made for Land-
owners.

MITE Committee of Management have much plea-
I Isure in communicating to .the Subscribers to this under-
taking, that they have obtained from the Legislature of British
Guiana an Act of Incorporation, containing ample and liberal
powers for carrying out this important project to the full ex-
tent contemplated in the prospeotus.
The Committee have also to announce that Mr. Catherwood,
the Engineer of the Company, after having carefully completed
the necessary surveys in British Guiana, has returned to this
country, and has made and deposited with them a most satis-
factory Report, accompanied by plans and sections, which have
been sanctioned and confirmed by Mr. Locke, their Consulting
Engineer.
The Committee are highly gratified in being able to add, that
after an attentive examination of Mr. Catherwood's Report,
his estimates and calculations, they have full confidence that
the Railway will be constructed at a cost more than 30 per cent.
below the amount originally contemplated, whilst there are
good grounds for believing that the traffic upon the line will
far exceed previous anticipations, and of course increase ma-
terially the exspective returns upon the capital invested.
A statement from the Committee of Management, of their
proceedings, with the Engineer's Report, Plans; and Estimates,
will be presented to the Shareholders at the first General
Meeting, to be held after the, completion of the registry of the
Shares, in pursuance of the provisions of the Deed of Settle-
ment, and Act of Incorporation.
NOTICE IS THEREFORE HEREBY GIVEN, that all
persons holding Scrip Certificates for Shares in this Company
are required to transmit them on or before the 30th day of
November next, to the Secretary, Henry Hill, Esq., at the West
India Committee Rooms, 12, Old Jewry Chambers, London,
with their Names, Prefessions, and Residences, distinctly
written, in order that the same may be correctly entered in the
Register of the Company.
All Shares not claimed by the holders of Scrip Certificates
on or before the said 30th day of November next, will be regis-
tered as the property of the-parties to whom they were ori-
ginally allotted, and who subscribed the Deed of Settlement.
Forms of letter, claiming to be registered, may be had at the
Office of the Company.
For greater security, the parties sending the Scrip are re-
commended to write across the face of each certificate, " For-
m arded for Registration."
The Secretary will acknowledge the receipt of the Scrip, and
on the completion of the registry, of which due notice will be
given, will exchange the same for Certificates of Shares, under
the seal of the Company.

PRIESTLEY'S

CONCENTRATED DECOCTION OR num EXTRACT OF
THE FINEST
JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA.

HIS most ,efficient and agreeable preparation of
T
that well-known and valuable alterative, JAMAICA SAR-
SAPARILLA, is prepared by a peculiar and scientific method,
by which the whole of the aromatic and volatile parts are pre-
served ; and the experience of many years has fully established
the reputation of this Medicine, as containing more of the vir-
tues of the root than any other preparation. Its beneficial
effects have been particularly striking in the following com-
plaints :—Nocturnal Pains in the Limbs, Scrofulous Enlarge-
ment of the Glands, Cutaneous Affections, Chronic Rheuma-
tism, &c. &c, • in freeing the system after a course of Mer-
cury, its beneficial effects are very powerful. It purifies the
blood, and by giving to the cutaneous vessels a healthy and
regular action, it removes that disposition to Erysipilatous In-
flammation, from which so many persons periodically suffer;
and when taken in the Spring and Fall of the Year as an Altera-
tive Medicine, it will be found to impart that strength to the
constitution which is indicated by firmness of flesh, good appe-
tite, and freshness of the complexion.
Prepared and sold only by John Priestley, 52, Lord-street,
Liverpool, in bottles at lis., 225., and 335. per bottle.
N.B.—For the convenience of parties in the country, boxes
are safely packed up, containing Two 22-shilling bottles for
£2, and cases equal to Five for -t5, upon receipt of a Post-
office order.
The Preparation will keep in any climate.
PRIESTLY'S STOMACHIC OR DIGESTIVE PILLS,
FOR BOTH SEXES.

For a number of years have these Pills received the appro-
bation of the public in general; and from the very frequent
and favourable results of this Medicine in the above com-
plaints, the proprietor feels the strongest confidence in recom-
mending them as a safe, ,mild, and 6 most efficient Family
Medicine.

To Ladies they are strongly recommended as an effective
Medicine in cases of general Debility of the Constitution, by
strengthening the organs of the stomach, creating an appetite,
and correcting impaired digestion. They give relief to those
troubled with fainting fits, nervous giddiness, violent pains in
the head &c. ; and for females, before and after confinement,
they are invaluable, and may be taken as a substitute for that
valuable (but nauseous) medicine castor oil; nor can they be
too highly recommended for the general use of Schools.
These Pills contain no Mercurial or Antimonial Preparation,
require no confinement nor alteration of diet, and are adapted
to every variety of age and constitution. In Boxes, price
is. lid., 2s. 9d. and 4s. (d. each. Also,
PRIESTLEY'S AROMATIC TONIC TINCTURE.

A pleasant and agreeable remedy for Indigestion, loss of Ap-
petite, Wind, Flatulency, and all .00mplaints arising from in-
ward debility, weakness, &c.
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS,
which approach nearer than anythirur yet discovered to the
Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style of preparing
PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to himself, and
combine scientific skill with great accuracy; and though num-
bers of people unacquainted with the business, and others, have
of late years attempted imitations, they have invariably been
found to be spurious compounds, neither. possessing the agree-
able flavour nor the medicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters.
Sold in Boxes, 28. each, containing twenty-four Powders, to
make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases.
PRIESTLEY'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS,

prices Is. lid. and 2s. 9d. per Box, duty included. These Pills

The astonishing success which has crowned the application
of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable
cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining
even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every
other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the
attention of the afflicted.

This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat-
tended with the least danger or inconvenience, and hundreds
have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was
first introduced.

Amongst many which are being daily received-are the follow-
ing testimonials:-

SIR,—I have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout
and Rheumatism, not a part frcrm.myhead to-my feet free from
pain, and as helpless as :an infant: not even a finger could I
move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me-
dical attendant he hail applied all the usual remedies, and. that
I might remain months in my deplorable situation.
Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might
have been to this day'contined to my bed. After a close appli-
cation of four days, my -troublesome 'companion began to dis-
appear ; in a week I was capable of walking about my room
and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi-
cine was enabled to leave Loodon. Fearful of another attack,
you will please to send six bottles.--4 am, Sir,_ your obedient
servant. D. W. STONE.

"Sta,—Having been informed of the surprising cure of Mr.
Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted
by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that he was
compelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his
committing any violence, and Whose case was considered en-
tirely hopeless, I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and
being satisfied of the truth of my information, encouraged me
to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining
little hopes of success, having been many years so severe a suf-
ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam
very happy in being able -to 'add my testimony of the benefit
I derived: after a few days' application the use of my limbs are
perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business,
nd, making an allowance for my age, never was better in my
life. To those, however severely afflicted and hopeless their
case may have been pronounced, I beg Of them to make a trial,
feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their
limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Medicine.
Health is a great blessing.to those who can enjoy it, but to
hose who are deprived, none feels it so severely as the trades-
man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and
brings ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to
make it known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am
for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly,

CONCERT HALL, LORD NELSON-STREET.—Last night
Mr. Dempster (from America) appeared at this place of
amusement, and gave great delight to his audience. He
introduced his songs by historical reminiscences, highly
interesting, and his sineing throughout was most spirited
and pathetic. It would be injustice to Mr. Dempster
not to state, 'that we had not (owing to the municipal
election) an opportunity of hearing the first songs of the
evening; but -judging from those which we did bear. we
have no hesitation in expressing our opinion that Mr.
Dempster is a gentleman of high taste and talent as a
musician. He possesses vocal powers of a high order, and
dashes into his performances (including his own music)
with a degree of,pathos which is rarely attainable. We bace
not space to enumerate the several songs ; but we were
much struck by many of them, and especially " The
Blind Boy," and the "Emerald Isle." Mr. Dempster is
a splendid pianist, and wants no orchestra to help him out.
He is equally at home in every department of melody, and
the music is exclusively his own. " I'm alone " was
beautifully and pathetically sung. The last piece, repre-
senting the decline and death of a girl, was painfully
affecting. We are glad to find that Mr. Dempster will
again make his appearance at the same place to-morrow
evening. The old Scottish ballad of " Tak yer auld
cloak aboot ye" was admirable, and will no doubt be
called for again.
BOT's ART UNION.—The tickets are now being issued
for this excellent distribution of works of art; and it
is gratifying to find that a townsman purchased during the
past week from 'Mr. J. R. Isaacs, the appointed agent, a
ticket, which turned out to be the celebrated prize Car-
toon, "The First" Trial •by Jury," to which governq ent
as an acknowledgement of its merit, awarded a prize of
300 guineas. It was drawn by " Cope," R.A., and is
valued at £l5O. _

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—The principal performer at
this theatre during the past week was Mr. Charles Kemble
Mason, nephew of the celebrated Kemble. His acting is
unquestionably the most extraordinary we ever witnessed.
Mr. Mason has studied in a school perfectly new. He is
not a copyist of the good or bad qualities either of the
living or the dead, 'but in action, manner, and dress is
quite original. It is said he intends to make his appear-
ance in London, and there, as the appetite for novelty is
insatiable, it is not improbable that he may at least create
a sensation. The new ballet of " Christine" and the
Ethiopian Delineators have been the other attractions
during the week.
TRADE WITH THE EAST.—By the comparative state-
ment of British tonnage entered outwards and inwards
to and from India, in the first nine months of this year,
as made up by Mr. Spikeman, it appears that the out-
ward entries from London were 182,762 tons, against
174,684 in 1845, and from Liverpool 87,854 tons, against
101,282 in 1845 ; the entries inwards to London were
210,228 tons, against 203,312 in 1845, and to Liverpool
70,416 tons, against 65,071 in 1845. It further appears,
that the outward entries to China this year were,—from
London 8,045 tons, and from Liverpool 16,655, while the
entries inwards were 22,283 tons into'London, and 14,775
into Liverpool. The total entries outwards to India
from portsin Great Britain, were '321,637 tons in 1846:

at sight. Mozart accepted the task, and supper and
champagne was to be the forfeit. In a few minutes a
piece of music was produced, and handed to Haydn, with
a bantering boast from Mozart, " There, sir, is a compo-
sition which you cannot play and I can." Haydn sat
down to the instrument, surprised at the simplicity of the
music that was to puzzle him ; but when he had got half
way through it he suddenly stopped, saying, " How's this
Mozart ? how's this ? You've got my hands stretched
out to the ends of the piano, and yet there's a middle key
to be touched ? Nobody can play such music as this."
Mozart, laughing at Haydn's perplexity and anger, took
the abandoned seat, and began. Running through the
easy passages, he came to the difficulty which his
friend found insuperable; and, bobbing his head, struck
his key with his very long nose. and was at the end of the
composition in a trice. Haydn, with whom such a feat
was a plysical impossibility, burst into a roar of laugh-
ter, and confessed that nature had endowed Mozart with
a capacity for music which he (Haydn) had never before
discovered. and to which he could lay no claim. The for-
feit was cheerfully paid.
THE LATE DUKE OF RICHMOND.—In the forthcoming
work by Sir F. B. Head, entitled " The Emigrant," the
hon. bart. relates some deeply interesting circumstances
connected with the melancholy death of the Duke of Rich-
mond, in 1819, from the t &eta of hydrophobia. It is
evident, from what is here stated, that he himself was
aware of, but endeavoured studiously to conceal from those
who were around him, the dreadful nature of his malady,
and for several days he succeeded, until, at last, one of his
suite exclaimed, 1' By Heavens, gentlemen, the Duke of
Richmond has the hydrophobia!" He was on his return
from Niagara to Quebec, when the fatal symptoms first
disclosed themselves; and died in a tent by the road side,
calm and resigned, expressing to those around him, " that
his greatest earthly consolation was that his title and name
would be inherited by a son of whose character he de-
clared he entertained the highest opinion and confidence."

Duke asked this officer-to take wine with him, and it was
evident that from some unaccountable reason it required
the utmost resolution and effort on his part_to bring the
glass to his lips. Early next morning he was found
calmly finishing a letter to a member of his family, which
he sealed and then delivered to Colonel —, with a de-
sire that it might be delivered at Montreal, a request at
the time utterly incomprehensible. Colonel —, on re-
ceiving this letter, naturally enough observed, that they
should all proceed there together; on which the Duke
