INTERESTING TO FAMILIES.

The following extract from New York paper
cannot fail to be interesting. In referring to ~
the receipts OF Teas IN this country for one IT,H
year up to Sth ultlmO. II says they will be r.,
oooo pounds short of the imports of the rear end
ing June 50, 1856, and that
:" The advance in black teas Ooongs, since last
December. has been fifteen cents per pound; and
Dung Tyson Teas, of low and medium grades,
cent. over last seasons closing prices.
IL VIII thus be seen that the strong and rapid
advance In the tea market has been the result of h
sldered that we may hear at any moment of the en-
TIRE suspension of shipments at Shanghai, and. in
TACT, that, a sufficient force from England
arrives Mt the seat of war, all Ave ports of entry in
Chna, VIII probably be placed under strict blockade
II would not be surprising to see Teas at a much
higher figure than they have yet attained"
In view of these facts, hold out very great in
duceTnents for families to lay in their supplies of
