he N,

To Me Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, Merchants, Tradesmen,
and Consumers of Tea and Coffee of every Class, in
Liverpool, its Vicinity, and Dependencies.
IN announcing to the above classes, the opening of this
New Tea and Coffee Establishment, we beg to make a
few remarks that we deem worthy their attention :
If we look back on the history of the Tea Trade, and
trace the various changes that it has undergone since the
Article was first introduced amongst us, we shall find them
as great and numerous as in any other branch of trade what-
ever: for if we compare the quantity imported, the quality,
or the price, with what they were thirty years ago, we find
them changed in a most extraordinary manner : but these
are not the only changes. At the close of that greatest and
most compact Monopoly that ever existed in England, or in
any other country, we find the greatest revolution : our Tea
no longer imported by one company, from one port, and
grown and prepared by one people; it is now imported by a
great number of private individuals, from various ports and
countries; and it is manufactured by Englishmen, as well as
withgrown it ahnadv

eCd i s
an evs :in f
ee t
he retailact, all
de a connecteddealer,--the
th e
only one the consumer can look to for a legitimate article,
at a fair price. After that Monopoly had been abolished,
the Trade increased so vastly, as to occupy the attention of
thousands ; and Houses in the Tea Trade were established
to superintend the manufacturing of Tea (to speak properly,
dried leaves), and their operations have been conned,
principally, to that of imitating the green descriptions of
Tea. Of late years numerous samples of Dyed Congou
have made their appearance in the market, dyed and dressed
to imitate Fine Black-Leafed Congou. The consequence is
almost incredible ! quantities of spurious Tea, dressed and
prepared with pernicious substance, to give it appearance,
are annually sent to England. The following extracts will
give you its true character :
" Canton Green Tea, of all sorts, is made at Canton, out of
Bohea ; it is coloured and made bright and beautiful, but in
drinking it is rough and sour."---" Canton Gunpowder is
very fine to look at; it is like the Brummagem ware—made
to sell; it is like copper washed with silver.''—Besides these
base counterfeits, there are various other unsound kinds,
that are daily given to the Consumer : such as sea-damaged,
heated, and otherwise damaged Teas. With these facts
before us, it will scarcely be necessary for us to say that,
before the retail dealer can be qualified to supply this im-
portant article of consumption, he must have vastly extended
his knowledge of the article, and changed in his method of
conducting his business.
Having pointed out to you some of the various kinds of
trash that are consumed by the British Public, to the amount
of some millions of pounds annually, you will be ready to
ask,—Who would sell such stuff ?—who has the boldness to
place it in the hands of their customers ? We will tell you :
Those who do not understand the article they deal in, and
this class is numerous : they may have been many years in
the trade, and, when there was little or no competition, may
have succeeded in establishing themselves ; yet, with them,
the Tea Trade is one of unlimited confidence in the Public
Sales,—the Canton Teas being very often put into their
hands, In the second place, the general Grocer, also,—
whose attention is so much occupied by the great variety in
which he deals, that he cannot be expected to judge so accu-
rately of the value and flavour of Tea and' Coffee, as the
Trodesman who confines himself to those articles. And,
thirdly,—those who are obliged to buy on credit.—These
classes get the Bad Teas.
In announcing the opening of this Establishment, it may
be as well for us lo say, that it will be founded on such prin-
ciples as cannot fail to claim for us a iarge share of public
patronage and support, with a view to permanency and pro-
gressive improvement. The great experience we have had
in the Trade ; the full knowledge of, and attention we have
paid to, the flavor and value of Teas ; ample Capital to pur-
chase at the best times, and at the best Markets; and our
profits allowing but a bare Commission ' • thus enable us to
make quick returns, that our Stock maybe constantly fresh.
Every Chest will.be thoroughly examined before it is offered
to Customers ; it being our determination to offer no articles
for sale but such as we can warrant to be of a genuine and .
true description.

We will now proceed to show upon what Terms we can
supply Teas, warranted, and selected by ourselves:—

In the now vastly-important article of Coffee, whether as
regards price, quality, or method of Roasting, J. MILLER
and Co. will yield the palm to none of their competitors.
To select—not merely for their opening Stock, but in every
purchase—the very best lots; to pay strict attention to that
process, on which so much depends for developing the agree-
able aromatic properties and rich nutritive qualities of this
wholesome Berry ' • and to enable their friends to indulge in
the use of a delightful beverage, at the lowest possible cost ;
will ever be, with them, paramount objects : and as they will
now derive supplies of this article from new sources, and the
prices will be further reduced by increased production and
competition, the patronisers of MILLER'S TEA
ESTABLIS II MENT will ever be amongst the first to
participate in the beneficial results of the amended Tariff.

At Radcliffe Bridge races, on Monday last, a temporary

when one gentleman had both his legs broken, another his

palms of a new pattern; and a dagger for the Prince of Wales,

SHEFFIELD AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY.—The first
sod of the Old Park contract on this line was turned up by
Charles Appleby, ESQ., on the Ist inst. several other direc-
tors, shareholders, and contractors, being present. The la-
bour is to be performed, in accordance with an arrangement
entered into with the contractors, by the able-bodied poor,
who are to be paid in proportion to the quantity of work done.
DUBLIN AND KINGSTOWN RAILWAY.—A special general
meeting of the above company was held on Monday, at the
establishment in Westland.row, James Perry, Esq., in the
chair. The result of the meeting was, that the Directors re-
ceived authority to affix the common seal of the company to
a mortgage to the Board of Works for a loan of £25,000, for
the extension of the railway to Dalkey.—Dublin Monitor.
The averages last week quote the duty on the import of
Foreign Wheat, at 14s. which is held by most of the ex-
perienced dealers in the market to be an admitting rate ; that
is, that there will be supplies received for public consumption,
on which will be paid this figure. The shipments of foreign
wheat from German and Prussian ports to this country con-
tinues on a large, we might say, on an almost unlimited
scale.

ANOTHER AMERICAN D
• n seaman,
named Michael Smith,
DIVER.—An American
aged 23, proposed to leap from the
east side of Sunderland Bridge, the river, on Wednesday
last. His intention into ,
was announced by hand-bins on the
previous evening,
dreds of persons assembled .
to witness this daring and novel
exploit. On arriving at the centre of the bridge he instantly
mounted the railing, ooff,
when d preparing t throw himself
when he was seizedbythe police, who dragged him to the
, station-house, to the great disappointment of the spectators.
Yesterday (Thursday) he was brought before the magistrates
on the charge of obstructing the thoroughfare. The mayor
told him that, as a foreigner, the bench were inclined to deal
leniently, and discharged him on paying costs; but that the
police would keep a strict eye upon Lim, and if he disobeyed
their injunctions, he would be,tplcen

keep the peace. About six o clock
