N ., Superintendent of the Greenwich . Hospital Schools : — " Greenwich Hospital Schools , July 16 , 1850 . " My dear Sir , —I have for the last three years worn Gutta Percha Soles , and from the comfort experienced in the wear generally , particularly in regard to dry feet , and also in durability and consequent economy , I was induced to recommend the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital to sanction its use in this establishment , instead of leather soles .. It has now been six months in general use here , so that 1 am , from experience in the wear and tear of Shoes for Eight Hundred Boys , able to speak with confidence as to it 3 utility , which in my belief is very great ; and I am looking forward to its being the means , during the next winter , of preventing Chilblains , from which we have greatly suffered .

THE WORKING TAILORSASSOCIATION , 34 , CASTLE-STBEET , OXFOBD-STBJSET , Opposite the Pantheon . A few Journeymen Tailors , anxious to rescue themselves and their class from the miseries and degradation consequent on unlimited competition , and from the abuse of the powers of capital as lately exhibited to the public by the Morning Chronicle newspaper , in his letters on " Labour and the Poor , " have resolved to seek a remedy in their own exertions rather than in any parliamentary enactment , and in some system which shall combine their own interest with the interests of other classes of society rather than in that return to old customs now chiefly advocated in the trade , by which the benefit of the master and journeyman ( but especially of the former ) is sought to be realized at the expense of the consumer . They have , therefore , united together on the cooperative principle , possessing first-rate talents in the Cutting and Working department , and being supplied by several benevolent gentlemen , with sufficient capital ( which they are anxious to payback on the first opportunity ) , they have commenced business on extensive premises in Castle-street , Oxford-6 treet , to which and the accompanying list of prices attention is respectfully invited . It will be seen from the latter that they are at once able to compete with the slopseller , whilst realizing a fair profit themselves . They are mutually bound to devote one-third of their net profits to the extension of their numbers . It now rests with the public to stamp their experiment with success by favouring them with a liberal measure of custom , and thereby demonstrate , on an ever-widening scale , that health , prosperity , and moral worth can be secured to the operatives , and cheapness guaranteed to the consumer , by the faithful realization of the brotherly and Christian principle of cooperation . They wish not to injure the trade of any truly "honourable" employer , and venture to hope that all who feel that custom itself ought to have its morality , and who are willing to do what in them lies towards dealing fairly by the operative , will help them by their sympathy , and , as far as possible , by their orders . All who are friendly to this experiment , and wish it to succeed , should give it all the assistance in their power , and recommend it to others . LIST OF PBICES . FOR CASH OX DELIVERY . £ S . d .

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 tl « e Finer Sorts , which , owing to their limited use , are ( like the commoner ) speedily 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 .

It must be thus apparent that , with a fixed charge of 2 s . 6 d . per lb . upon all Tea , mere price alone is no criterion of either good value or cheapness ; and we especially direct the attention of those who are solicitous to economize their expenditure to this fact , and in their determination to purchase at the lowest prices they voluntarily tax themselves double or quadruple what they have any necessity for doing-.
