CAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOWCIUMS MIXTURE
TEA is an admixture of4o rare Black Teas, produced
on as many different plantations, each Tea differing from
the rest, and possessing a flavour, a fragrance, or strength,
peculiar to itself. Blended together in the proper pro-
portions, they comprise all that is desirable4n Tea. This
discovery was not the effect of chance, but.ef many great
advantages united in one individual, and the result of
numerous experiments and the most minute analysis.
For another to produce the same result, he must possess
equal skill, the same discrithinatirig taste, equal power of
procuring the forty various Teas requiredrand know the
exact proportions df each kind used—and though he may
never once have visited China, he must have had equal
opportunities of securing to himself, its productions :
with one who,•like Captain Pidding, has spent years there
in acquiring these advantages, and to whom alone How-
qua—years before his death—imparted at Canton, the
secret of compounding his Mixture.
Yet there are upwards of 500 retailers pretending to sell
tea, they call " Howqua's Mixture"—each mixture dif-
fering from all the others. Now as there can be but ONE
REAL " llowqua's Mixture," it follows that, as 500 dif-
ferent medleys are offered-499 must be spurious. The
499 counterfeits are so-many evidences of the superiority
Of the ONE .GEttictlNE. And it would be absurd to suppose
of
that Captain •Pidding, with advantages, the result Eight
country, would be so-silly—even were it possible—as to
Voyages made to China, and live years spenti that
yield them up to• 500 others, or impart to them so valuable
Et secret.
The very greatoelebrity this Tea has acquired, having
tempted
many unprincipled persons to give similar, or
nearly

PICKING TH.E POCKET OF A YOUNG LADY.—yei:
terday, afwell-elad boy, named Henry Cowan, was placed
at th, bar of the Police-court, charged with having, on
Saturday, picked the pocket of a young lady—Miss
Vernon, from Ashton-in-Mackerfield. The prisoner—
an old offender, who had been in gaol recently for three
months, and had 13een committed four times—set up a
deence that it was his own money which he had dropped
accidentally by the way. lie was, of course, committed
for trial.
DANGEROUS ASSAULT WITH A PITCHFORK.—John
Delap. was 'yesterday -charged at the Police-court with
an assault upon Richard Bainbridge with a pitchfork.
The assault was the result of a quarrel. Mr. Rushton
said he could not lightly pass over the use of such
deadly weapons even in the passion of the moment, and
committed the prisoner far triai at the assizes, with an
intimation that he might go at large on giving good bail
—himself in £BO, and two sureties in £4O each. It
was stated that the prisoner had hitherto borne a good cha-
racter.

•
OBTAINING GOODS UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.—At
the Police-court, yesterday, a married woman, very
poorly dressed, named Elizabeth Aliport, was charged
with having obtained under false pretencei a number of
pairs of stays from Miss Eleanor Parr, who keeps a stay
shop in Berry-street, and by whom she had been employed
as forewoman. It appeared that over some weeks past
the prisoner had obtained the articles from her mistress
on representing that patties whom she named, and who
were all respectable females, wished to be supplied from
the shop. She succeeded in this way in taking away
pairs to the value of, it wax stated, n:nFt guineas. Sos-
-I.;icicti was at hygth excited, and the fraud was disco-
vered. The prisoner -was apprehended, and was then in
liquor. Ajost of the articles were found iu various pawn-
shops. The imsoner was committed for tr;ali for ~" ob-
taining," &c., with, however,l6ar.e to go Nit, 01 bail, her-
self in £4Q, u.O trip suretit%- in -X2O each.

WILLIAM COOK, ESQ. in the Chair,
11 teas unanimously Resolved,
That the Proprietors now assembled are confirmed in
their opinion, by the information this-day received, that
a thorough change in the system of carrying Goods on
the South Eastern and Dover Railway is imperatively
called for, and they record their conviction that it would
be as much for the advantage of the Public as of the
Company that the South Eastern and Dover Proprietors
should themselves become carriers.
That it is the opinion of this Meeting that the net earn-
ings from traffic, from the Ist October, 1813, cannot in
equity be charged with the interest on Capital then un-
productive, and therefore such net earnings. allowing for
the subsequent opening from Folkstone to Dover, and of
the Bricklayers' Arms Branch, areapplicdblef r adividend.
That the Proprietors present pledge themselves to sup-
port the Directors in all sound measures for the protec-
tion of the South Eastern and Dover Railway Company.
That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to the Chair-
man.

THE object of this undertaking is to construct the most
direct and perfect LINE OF RAILWAY from the
Town and Pert of GAINSBOROUGH, through SHEF-
FIELD, to the Station of the Midland Railway at
CHESTERFIELD, thereby effecting a mare expeditious
and eeonomical communication between Gainsborough,
'Sheffield, and the Midland Coenties onthe one hand, and
between Sheffield and the Metropolis on the other ; and,
also, to bring-into immediate contact the whole of Lin-
colnshire and the Eastern Counties, with the important
Manufacturing and Mineral Diatricts of Sheffield, Dron-
'field, and Unstone.
The Line will commence at Chesterfield, pass through
the important Mineral Districts of Unstone and Dron-
field, through Sheffi-Id, and thence by Canklow, (where
it passes over the Midland Railway,) Whiston, Maltby.,
Tickhill, and Bawtry, to Gainsborough, near which last-
named Town it will unite with the projected Wakefield,
Lincoln, and Boston Railway, the promoters of which
cordially sanction and approve of the present undertaking,
constituting, as it will in conjunction with their Line, the
best and most comprehensive system of Railway commu-
nication between the Agriculteteal Districts of Lincoln..
shire and the Eastern Counties, and the populous Mantl-

In fact, no shorter Line can be had; moreover, it can-
not be surpassed, if equalled, by any other in the excel-
lency _of its gradients or the lightness of the works that
will-be required in its construction.
To the lehabitaets of and Owners of Property in Lin.
colnshire, and the Eastern Counties generally, this Rail-
way is of paramount importance, as it will furnish to
them, at a greatly diminished cost, an ample supply of
Coal of the best quality fur all purposes, the Line passing
for six'een miles of its length through a rich and almost
inexhaustible Coal Field ; whilst to the Inhabitants of
Gainsbormigh and Boston, in part'cular, it must prove
highly advantageous, as furnishing (along with the Wake-
field, Lincoln, end Boston Line) an immense accession of
business to the Shipping Interests of those Ports.
It is almost superfluous to point out the great advan.
tages of, and the necessity which exists for a rapid and
cheap mode of transit between the agricultural and the
manufacturing districts, which will be effected by this and
the Wakefield, Lincoln, and Boston Railway, in the most
complete and effectual manner, as the Agriculturists of
North Nottinghamshire. Lincolnshire, and of the Eastern
Counties, will thus he able to transmit their produce at a
teatly diminished Cost, direct to the consumers. The
ine will traverse a District which is not immediately
Provided with any navigable River or Canal, hence its
freedom from the competition of. and interference with
'Water Conveyance, and it is entirely divested of all ob-
jections on the score of interfering with Parks and orna-
mental Grounds and Residences.
The. Passenger traffic, which must necessarily come on
this Lin-. will he great; this will be at once apparent
when it is borne in mind that independently of all other
conveyances. fourteen Daly Coaches are required to con-
duct the traffic:of the Disti ict, which this Railway will
accommodate. The well-known and extensive Quarries
of Roche Abbey and Wicker:l,y. are in immediate prexi-
rni-v to the Line ; the Stone of the former is universally
allowed to surpass all other fcr Building purposes, in
beauty and durability, whilst the latter furnish nearly all
the Grinding Stones used in the Manufactories of Shef-
field and its Vicinity.
The carriage of Live Stack will, of itself, form an im-
portant item in the traffic, inasmuch as at least 5000 head
of Cattle and l€o,ooo sheep are annually sent from, the
Eastern Districts to the market at Rotherham alone.
From a careful estimate of traffic on data accurately taken,
the Promoters feel themselves fully warranted in stating
that a profit of at least £8 per Cent, will be realised on
the proposed Capital, after allowing
~£4O per Cent. for
working expenses.
The deposit of £3 per Share is to be paid on the allot-
ment of Shares, and the liability of Subscribers will, of
course, be limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount
of their respective Shares.
Applications for Shares in the Forms below given are
requested to be made to Messrs. WILSON, YOUNGE, and
PIERSON, or Mr. DIXON, Solicitors, Sheffield ; or to the
following Sharebrokers :-Mr. Duncuff, Manchester ;
