OCTOBER CIRCULAR , 1850 . —We wish to draw a comparison between the different classes of Tea , viz ., the Commonest , which is always subject to extreme fluctuations ; the Medium , which maintains a more equable-value , and forms the great bulk of Tea used in this country ; and the Finer Sorts , which , owing to their limited use , are ( like the commoner ) speedil y affected in price by a large or insufficient supply . In addressing ourselves to this point , we would remind the public that all Tea , bad or good , the best or the most worthless , pays an uniform duty , of 2 s . 2 | d . per lb ., and is necessarily subject to equal charges for freight , porterage , wharfage , dock dues , &c . &c ; consequently the commonest is much heavier taxed , in proportion to its real or marketable value , than either the medium or the finest class Teas : thus , whilst at present — The price of Common Congou , in Canton , \ It follows that Cornis 7 d . to 8 d . per lb .

CURES FOR THE UNCUltED ! HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT . —An extraordinary Cure of Scrofula or King ' s Evil . Extract of a Letter from Mr . J . IT . Alliuay , 209 , High-street , Cheltenham , dated the 22 nd of January , 18 dO . "To Professor Hollo way . « gin , My eldest son , when about three yenrs of age , was arflictod with a Glandular Swelling in the neck , which , after a short time , broke out into an Ulcer . An eminent medical man pronounced it as a very bad case of Scrofula , and prescribed for a considerable time without efFect . The disease then for four years went on gradually increasing in virulence , when , besides the ulcer in the neck , another formed below the left knee , and a third under the eye , besides seven others on th e left arm , with a tumour between the eye 3 , which was expected to break . During the whole of the time my Buttering !> oy had received the constant advice of the most celebrated medical Gentlemen at Cheltenham , besides being for several months at the General Hospital , where one of the Surgeons said that he would amputate the left arm , but thnt the blood was so impure that , if that limb were taken off , it would be then even impossible to subdue tho disease . In this desperate state I determined to give your Pills and Ointment a trial , and , after two months' persovarance in their use , the tumour gradually begun to disappear , and the discharge from all the ulcers perceptibly decreased , and at the expiration of eight months they were perfectly healed , and the hoy thoroughly restored to the blessings of health , to the astonishment of h large circle of acquaintances , who could testify to the truth of this miraculous case . Three years liavo now elapRed without any recurrence to tho malady , and the boy is now ( is healthy as heart can wish . Under these circumstances I consider that 1 should be truly ungrateful were I not to make you acquainted with this wonderful cure , ellecteil by your medicines , after every othur means had failed .
