AS SUPPLIED TO THE ROYAL TABLE.
CAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOW QUA'S MIXTURE
lJ TEA is an admixture of 40 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 desirable in Tea. This
discovery was not the effect of chance, but of 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 discriminating taste, equal power of
procuring the forty various Teas required, and know the
exact proportions of 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 " Howqua'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 GENUINE. And it would be absurd to suppose
that Captain Pidding, with advantages, the result of Eight
Voyages made to China, and five years spent in that
country, would be so silly—even were it possible—as to
yield them up to 500 others, or impart to them so valuable
a secret.
The very great celebrity this Tea has acquired, having
tempted many unprincipled persons to give similar, or
nearly similar titles to their own spurious mixtures, to
guard against such imposition, purchasers should observe
that " THF, SIGNATURE THUS,'
Captain JOHN RHODES PIDDING,
Honourable Company's Service,
is on every genuine Package.
To those who drink Green Tea, " Captain Pidding's
Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder," grown only on one
estate, is recommended for its strength and economy, and
as being the purest and most wholesome Green Tea im-
ported from China.
Captain Pidding has appointed the under Agents for
this District :

NORTHERN CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL,

FOR THE
SONS of CLERGYMEN &OTHER GENTLEMEN.
AT a GENERAL MEETING, held at the Bull Inn,
Preston, on WEDNESDAY, the 12th June, the Right
Rev. the Lord BISHOP of CHESTER in the Chair, the
following Resolutions were unanimously agreed to :
Proposed by the Worshipful and Rev. Chancellor RAIKES,
seconded by LAWRENCE Li AWSTORNE, Esq.,
of Penwortham Priory,
That in the opinion cf this Meeting it is highly desirable
that a School for the Sons of Clergymen and others, on
similar principles to that at Marlborough, should be esta-
blished in the North of England, with the more especial
object of providing the advantage of a Public School for
the Clergy and Gentry of the Rural Districts.
Proposed by the Venerable Archdeacon RUSHTON, se-
conded by CHARLES SWAINSON, Esq.,
Tint the undertaking already commenced at Rossall
Hall, under the name of the " Northern Church of Eng-
land School," and towards which upwards of £5OOO are
subscribed, is eminenbly calculated to fulfil this object,
and deserves the strenuous support of this Meeting and
the Public at large.
Proposed by the Rev. J. OWEN PARR, Vicar of Preston,
seconded by DANIEL ELLETSON, Esq., of Parrox HalW
That whereas, with very little alteration, Rossall Hall,
in the House alone, independently of the Outbuildings,
&c., appears capable of receiving nearly 100 Pupils, and
that many Parents are desirous of immediate admission
for their Sons, this Meeting considers it expedient that
such alterations be made immediately, in order that the
School may be Opened after the Midsummer Vacation ;
and that such alterations as may be necessary for the re-
ception of the full complement of Scholars be made as
soon after as required, and under the personal superin-
tendence of the Principal of the School.
Proposed by the VICAR of PRESTON, seconded by CLE-

MENT aoyns, Esq., of Mount Falinge, Rochdale,
That the thanks of this Meeting be given/to the Lord
Bishop of Chester for the kindness with which he has
taken the Chair on the present occasion, as well as for the
support which he has given to this Institution throughout.
ST. VINCENT BEECHEY, Hon. Sec pro tern.
All applications for Nominations, &c. for the above
School must be made to the Rev. ST. VINCENT BEECHEY,
Thornton Parsonage, near Preston.

CORRESPONDENCE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

Six,—At a time like the present, when with a singular
concurrence of opinion, every class of the community,
every interest in this great empire, and each of the great
ostensible parties in the political arena express in no
doubtful, though with varied, tones their general dissatis- -
faction at the existing state of things ; while, with a sin-
gular unanimity, they appear to advocate, only differing
in degree, the same general line of policy, it is somewhat,
I fear, audacious and self-opinionated to separate oneself
from the legitimate organs of public opinion, from the
appointed rulers of the interests of the nation, and calmly
to ask the cool reflection of thinking men to condemn the
practice and principles of the leading men of both parties,
ratified and supported as they are by a parliament repre-
senting so large a constituency under the extended fran-
chise of the Reform Bill.

It must be perfectly obvious, however, to every think-
ing man that this general dissatisfaction cannot exist with-
out reason; that there is no smoke without a fire; that
there must be a cause for an effect. That the effect is
produced either by the action or inaction of the legisla-
ture no one will dispute ; and in either case the mode and
principles of legislation under the augmented repre,senta-
tion must be the primary object of inquiry.
I was one of those, I freely admit, who conscientiously
opposed the Reform Bill during its whole progress, oppo-
sing it under the impression that the momentary passions,
originating from temporary causes, whether excitement,
delusion, or distress, would sway and influence the legis-
lature for the period of their duration, with an irresistible
force, to the imminent danger of the state, and at the risk
of general convulsion. Such was undoubtedly the views
of the honest opponents of that measure : how widely
diffe►ent has been the conduct of that reformed legisla-
ture; how totally opposite are the principles of action
which must be condemned, if the nation is to be saved
from revolution, if the free principles of a limited mo-
narchy and free parliament are to be sustained.
The principle of action which I condemn as unconstitu-
tional and dangerous is the undue assumption of authori-
ty by the executive government in the deliberations of the
legislature, a principle of action adopted by both parties
since the first excitement of the Reform Bill, a principle
submitted to and recognized by both parties in the vari-
ous subsequent parliaments, but on principle clearly utterly
subversive of the very essence of a representative delibe-
rative assembly, and the primaeval cause of that party reck-
lessness which is now stultifying public opinion, and
making the legislature the instrument of the minister of
the day. _ _

There is no one principle more essential to the support
of a monarchy than the right of selecting the executive
government—the responsible servants of the crown; nor
is there any question that the public interests and general
progress of legislation are promoted by the developement
of those views which they entertain from the official in-
formation incidental to their departments ; it is unques-
tionably for the public interest that, with such official in-
formation, they should, at every assembly of the legitla-
tore, detail their opinions of the exigencies and necessi-
ties of the empire ; their administrative capacities renders
this at once wise and constitutional ; but the propounding
of those views is the limit of their duty ; the necessity of
their adoption, and the mode of their application, is for
the deliberation of the varied interests and selected repre-
sentatives of the nation in one house, and the mature and
calm reflection of the other.
The executive minister is the servant of the crown, not
the ruler of the legislature ; bound to the service of the
crown so long as he retains the confidence of the crown,
and of the two branches of the legislature undoubtedly;
but this confidence is in its executive capacity, not in the
details of its legislative propositions ; if the latter be the
n thatf
constitutional principle, what becomes of the representa-
tive and deliberative principle?

extended franchise or more frequent elections, which
would both clearly tend to the increase of party prejudice.'
The remedy is in the hands of the existing constituency,
comprising, as it does, the wealth, sound sense, and re-
flecting mind of the country, as well as every interest and
every class.

The excitement of the reform mania has ceased ; the
dread of revolution has passed away ; the desire for
cbange is universally superseded by an earnest crating for
peace and confidence.

But this wholesome feeling must be cherished and con-
firmed, not by a reckless presumption on the peaceful
tendency of an industrious and loyal people, but by a real
and honest confidence in the governing power ; by a posi-
tive and visible assurance that the representative principle,
controlled and modified by the other branches of the le-
gislature, is the active agent for the public exigencies.
The bane and antidote of the public welfare are in the
hands and power of that public ; the one assuredly, the
continuance of the domination of the executive and party
ascendancy, will bring this free constitution to a speedy
and violent dissolution • the other, the free and honest
and judicious control of the legislature, will, as far as
human instruments can avail, assure to us a government
which will not only carry with it the elements of perma-
nency, but of peace, concord, and confidence among all
classes and interests of a united and happy people.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your humble servant,
CATO.
Liscard, July 8, 1844.

TO THE CHURCHWARDENS AND OVER-
SEERS OF THE PARISH OF LIVERPOOL.

GENTLEMEN,—Three or four times during the last
week I have called at the Parish-office to pay my rates,
but without success, in consequence of the counter being
wholly occupied by half-a-dozen men who are employed
in copying your rate books ; upon enquiry, I find that
they belong to the two great political associations which
agitate this town, and, although myself a tory, I feel, in
the present instance, almost compelled like Mercutio, to
cry " a plague. upon both your houses." The radicals, I
understand, first began this game, and the conservatives
have, in self defence, followed it up. Now, I blame you
for allowing either party to copy your books ; the act, I
am certain, when it said •` that the rate-payers should
have access to the book!," never intended that they
should be copied for political purposes. And I think it
is a poor cause indeed which is obliged to resort to such
a system for recruiting its ranks. As we draw near to
the 20th of July, the parish-office will be more and more
crowded with ratepayers, and these copying clerks will
then become a perfect nuisance,. and may be the cause of
many parsons being left oft the register, merely through
inability to approach the counter. If I was in authority
I would directly clear the office of both parties, and make
sufficient space for the rate-payers. Trusting that you
will adopt some such measure,
I remain yours,
A RATE-PAYEII.

FRENCH BARRAGE DRESSES.—A large quantity of
these beautiful summer dresses are advertised in our paper
to-day, by Mr. Tuton, of Lord-street, at prices extremely
low. They are part of an immense lot recently seized in
London, which were sold to pay the custom's duty, and
purchased by a firm in that city, from whom they were
re-purchased by Mr. Tuton on very advantageous terms.
Amongst them are many novel and beautiful patterns.
INTERESTING TO LADlES.—Persons of delicate Com-
plexion are susceptible of the influence of the atmosphere
at this peculiar season ; and Ladies, whether frequenting
the crowded saloon, the close assembly, the rural ride or
drive, the summer promenade, or the aquatic excursion,
should invariably have recourse to that:invaluable disco-
very, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, which is found to be the
most gentle and efficacious preparation that science has
discovered for the preservation of female beauty and grace.
Throughout season, time, and climate, this faithful aux-
iliary arrays the nee]; arid arms in radi(iit brill ancy, and
perpetuates the vivid bloom of juvenile' attraction.—See
