THE COFFEE:TRADE.:
HIS important branch of commerce (particularly as
attached to our own port) being now consolidated by
the operation of the New Tariff, has caused a considerable
alteration in prices ; and in accordance with the system with
which we started this concern, when alterations take place,
we deem it requisite to give it publicity, which we shall al-
ways keep in view for the benefit of consumers.
Having by careful estimate of all the different varieties
now in THE PORT OF LONDON, and comparing the same with
the qualities here obtainable, and the quantities likely to be
forthcoming of the most deservedly popular sorts, we are
now prepared to submit a scale of prices which will be found
to include the long-expected desideratum of ECONOMY and
EXCELLENCE. Much has been said of the disappointment
that would be found in the operation of the New Scale, as
only one penny per pound reduction appears to be made on
by far the greater portion of the RAW COMMODITY, namely,
on East India and Foreign kinds, and twopence per pound
on British Plantation, of which the consumption is diminu-
tive compared with the former, as will appear by the official
returns, to which we refer you ; this would seem to be hardly
acceptable to the consumer, but this narrow view of a grand
commercial question shuts out the most important feature,
since it is not the mere statistic impost, but the important
fact of the FINEST COFFEES grown on the face of the globe
being now admissible at the same duty as trash, which will
give the immense advantage, when energy, experience, and
capital are employed to secure it. This is lost sight of by
the majority of dealers who have no opportunity of seeing
all that comes to EVERY MARKET, and without this the best
purchases are never known to theta ; and pass for the most
part, into hands who tax largely on the unwitting confidence
of those who never see the said goods until they are in
second hands. _

TERMS MODERATE.

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS.

GEORGE CARLYLE, 38, Bold-street, Agent for Liverpool.
J. H. VYER, Confectioner, 32, Great Homer-street, for
Everton and Kirkdale.

eIIPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS consist of one kind only
of Black and one of Green. The Black is a mixture of
Forty different kinds of rare Black Teas, remarkable for
their great strength, delicious flavour, and natural aroma.
This natural aroma of the Tea being completely preserved in
the Packages in which it is imported. The Green is Small
Leaf Gunpowder Tea of the finest kind, and is grown only
on one Estate.

Captain PIDDING, who has made eight voyages to China,
completed arrangements when last at Canton, securing to
himself the exclusive importation of these particular Teas.
Extract from Dr. Siymond's Lecture on Captain Pidding's
Tea before the Med. Bot. Society.
" This particular Tea has been very much and very de-
servedly prised, and has now become a Standard Tea in this
Country.'
(From Dr. James Johnson, M.D., Physician to his late
Majesty,
" Suffolk-place, Pall Mall, London.
" Sir,—Ever since your Tea was first introduced, myself
and family have used it ; indeed, only it, and we have no
hesitation in giving it the preference to all others.
" Yours, &c., " JAMES JOHNSON, M.D.
" To Captain Pidding."
CAPTAIN PIDDING'S Teas were formerly sold under
the title of " Howqua's Mixture," and " Howqua's
Small Leaf Gunpowder" ; but hundreds of Grocers,
anxious to profit by the celebrity of tea which he alone
imports, have given the same title to rubbish of their own,
so that there is now scarce one but has his " Howqua's,"
" Mowqua's," " Saoqua's." or some other spurious mixture.
Against such imposition, the only security is
" CAPTAIN PIDDING'S NAME."
This they have not yet forged, and his signature is on every
really genuine package.
Sold in Chinese Catty packages, containing one pound and
one-third, nett of Tea, exclusive of lead and paper,—the
Black, at the rate of Gs. 4d. per lb. ; the Gunpowder at 9s.
per lb. ; Half and Quarter Catties in proportion. A Quarter
Catty of Black, charged 2s. 2d., will go as far as half a pound
of the commonest Tea, if made according to Capt. Pidding's
directions given on each package.

The absurd practice of sending cargoes from foreign ports
half round the world, to be re-shipped and re-entered at the

We are aware that a prejudice, not altogether groundless,
does exist among many families, in giving orders to new es-
tablishments. but we know also, that continued perseverance,
followed up by fair and honourable dealing, will,
eventually,
remove this prejudice. It is true that the public, were they
invariably to receive, and act upon every assertion, and listen
to all pretensions which come before them, would frequently
be deceived, but at the same time we would beg to suggest,
that it is not an invariable rule, and that there are some who,
from motives of principles as well as policy, act systemati-
cally h ; and in doing so, we contend, it is to their alin-
terests, for on no other system can confidence on the part of
the public be given or expected. In conclusion, we repeat,
your interest is concerned as well as our own : and we
respectfully solicit an impartial comparison.

CAPTAIN ROSS AND THE ANTARCTIC

EXPEDITION.

(From Me Guernsey Star of September 15.)
The Alarm, Captain T. L. Stewart, left Guernsey last year
for the Falkland Islands, and departed thence at the end of
May last for Buenos Ayres. A gentleman of this island
(Guernsey) having received a letter by her, giving some
account of Captain Ross 'and the vessels under him, englged
in .a scientific voyage of discovery towards the Antarctic Pole,
has favoured us with the following extract :
" Captain Ross and the Antarctic expedition are now here.
The Erebus and Terror came in contact, on endeavouring to
escape an iceberg, in the seas of the Southern Pole. The
expedition will positively be here for five or six months to
repair the vessels, and to make observations.
" Captain Ross has erected an observatory at the old
French fort built by Bougainville. A most interesting series
of observations are carrying on, which will greatly interest
the scientific world. Those upon the pendulum are noted
every quarter of an hour. Astronomical observations are
also carefully made by the officers. Thermometers are placed
both above the ground and under it ; mine, with my baro-
meters, are now doing duty with the rest, and have the ho-
nour to be registered also. The anotneters, showing the
direction and force of the winds, will add much to the valuable
information afforded by Captain Sullivan, R.N., respecting
these islands. Plaviameters are also carefully registered, and
we are now about the end of your Guernsey November. A.
tide-guage is by the jetty, and an excellent magnetic obser-
vatory, where the dip, intensity, and variation of the needle
are carefully registered by able observers. The officers re-
iehnacme. moYekouswwionuglid ng be
closelieve each other in regular watches on these duties ; and I
to his darling pendulum, and a large hole in the thin parti-
tion that he may see it at any moment, and Captain Crozier's
de-
lighted never me
to t
see with
Captainsu eh devotees
Ross's
hammock is close alongside of it. The floor of this room is
ol
little tslce
mother earth, from our want of timber.

" Capt. Ross has been so kind, at my request, as to add
to these observations another series, to ascertain the rate of
evaporation in these islands; and Hooker, the botanist, is
also so good as to draw up a report on the grasses, the pre-
vailing gramina being oonsidered as unknown in Europe.
The splendid tussack grass is the gold and glory of these
islands. It will, I hope, vet make the fortune of Orkney and
Irish landowners of peat bogs. Every animal here feeds upon it
with avidity,and fattens in a short time. It may be planted and
cut like the guinea grass of the West Indies. The blades are
about six feet long, and from 200 to 300 shoots spring from
one plant. I have proved, by several experiments, that one
man can cut 100 bundles in a day, and that a horse will
greedily devour five of these in the same time. Indeed, so
fond of it are both horses and cows, that they will eat the
dry tussack thatch from the roofs of the houses in preference
to good grass. About four inches of the root eats like the
mountain cabbage.. It loves. a rank wet peat bog, with the
sea spray over it. Indeed, when the sea beats with the
greatest violence, and the sea spray is carried furthest, then
the tussack grass thrives the best on the soil it loves. All
the smaller islands here, though some of them are as large
as Guernsey, are covered with tussack, which is nutritious
all the year. _ _ _

".The whole of the gentlemen in the expedition are de-
lighted with the Falkland Islands, and express themselves as
.being more pleased with them than even with New Zealaud.
Some think them in every way better for colonization, even
with the drawback of wanting timber trees.
" When the observations made during their voyages are
published, you will be surprised at their favourable account
of the climate.

" In addition to all these scientific observations, the sur-
veying department in exploring anti examining different
harbours, sites for different objects in a new settlement," &c.

OPERATION OF THE NEW

It appears that the difference in effect between the opera-
tion of the Act 9 Geo. IV. c. SO, and the 5 Vic. I. c. 4, (or
present Corn-law,) is as under:— Qrs.
The quantity entered for home consnropton for ]l3

The like for a similar period prior to the existing
law, taking an average from the 14 years return.. ' 368,766

2,089,165
Or nearly seven times the quantity.
The difference in the amount of duty paid for the like pe-
riod of 18 weeks is—
Amount of duty paid under the present law £974,024
under the late act.. £102,976

THE TELEMAQUE FRENCH TREASURE SUM—The pro-
ject, currently announced by advertisements in the public
journals, for raising the treasure belonging to the French
emigrants, supposed to have been sunk in the Telamaque, off
Quillebceuf, in 1790, naturally raises the very insignificant
inquiry, made by more than one correspondent, how it hap-
pens that the French people, who have the most interest in
the result, quietly suffer so large a profit as that held out to
be reaped by the English ? As the answer to such an in-
quiry is by no means an easy matter, people begin to assume,
as at least possible, that the .
real object may be that of re-
lieving the parties who originate from the expense incurred
in various pamphlets and advertisements, and other matters
connected with the affair, amounting, as has been stated, to
about £3600, by a dip into the pocket of honest and con-
fiding John Bull. An appeal to the public for raising a joint-
stock capital is always to be looked at.with suspicion when
the sum is so small as to be within reach of any private ca-
pitalist from his own resources. It seldom happens in such
a case that decidedly good things are offered to the public,
and we. quite concur, therefore, in the suspicion expressed
with regard to the " Teleanaque, French treasure-ship."—
Times.

AFFAIR OF BUENOS AYRES.—The Cash arrival from
Buenos Ayres brought a financial document of some interest,
being a " general statement of the operations of the public
stocks from their commencement on the Ist of January,
1822, to the end of June, 1832 ; together with a cash account
from the Ist of April to the 30th of June of the present
year." From this it appears that the whole debt created in
that period was 2,000,000 dollars in 4 per cent., and
52,360,000 dollars in 0 per cent. stock; that of this amount
there has been redeemed, or otherwise put out of circulation,
about 730,000 dollars of the 4 per cent., and 22,000,000
dollars of 6 per cent, stock ; and that the whole remaining
debt of the republic amounts, consequently, to 1,250,000
dollars 4 per Cents., and 30,360,000 dollars 6 per Cents.
It further appears, from the " cash" account, that
the amount received from the Customs, to pay interest
and sinking fund, for April, May, and June, was about
040,000 dollars; that about 460,000 dollars was employed
in redeeming stock for that quarter, and that there was
an available balance, to be employed in July, of about
580,000 dollars for interest, and 156,000 dollars for sinking
fund. This document presenting a satisfactory account, be-
yond all question, of the financial situation of Buenas Avres,
it leads naturally to the inquiry, whether the debt to this
country has been wholly laid aside and forgotten. It was
originally, we believe, only £1,000,000 sterling, and negoei
ated by the house of Baring at the fair market price of the-
time, and the amount of course duly.remitted ; yet no
t e a
in-
terest has been paid since 1827, and the matter is as little
oftl
subject of discussion in the city as if no intention existed
effort, at least, for the satisf t do,
paeferring any claim for payment. As the states of Mexico,
