HE WORKING TAILORS ' ASSOCIATION , 34 , CASTLE-STREET , OXFORD-STREET , 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 Chrontclt 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 01 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 pay back on the first opportunity ) , they have commenced business on extensive premises in Castle-street , Oxford-street , 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 . AH 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 PRICES . FOR CASH ON DELIVERY . £ 6 . d .

JAMES EPPS'S PREPARED COCOA . Cocoa is a nut , which , besides farinaceous substance , contains a bland oil . The oil in this nut has one advantage , which is that it is less liable than any other oil to rancidity . Possessing these two nutritive substances , cocoa is become a most valuable article of diet , more particularly if , by mechanical or other means , the farinaceous substance can be so perfectly incorporated with the oily that the one will prevent the other from ser > aratin ° \ Such a union is presented in the cocoa prepared by James Epps , Homoeopathic Chemist , 112 , Great Russell-street , Bloomsbury , London ; and thus , while the delightful flavour , in part dependent on the oil , is retained , the whole preparation will agree with the most delicate stomach . James Epps ' s name and address is on each packet . The address of any local Agent forwarded immediately on application .

SASSAFRAS CHOCOLATE . — Dr . DE LA MOTTE ' S nutritive , health - restoring , AROMATIC CHOCOLATE , prepared from the nuts of the Sassafras tree . This Chocolate contains the peculiar virtues of the SASSAFRAS root which has been long held in great estimation for its purifyin ^ and alterative properties . The AROMATIC QUALITY ( which is very grateful to the stomach ) most invalids require for breakfast and evening repast to PROMOTE DIGESTION , and to a deficiency of this property in the customary breakfast and supper may , in a great measure , be attributed the frequency of cases of INDIGESTION generally termed BILIOUS . It has been found highly beneficial in correcting the state of the digestive organs , &c , from whence arise many diseases , such as er uptions of the skin , gout , rheumatism , and scrofula . In cases of DEBILITY of the STOMACH , and a sluggish state of the liver and intestines , occasioning flatulences , costiveness . &c , and in spasmodic asthma , it is much recommended . Sold in pound packets , price 4 s ., by the Patentee , 12 , SOUTHAMPTON-STREET , STRAND , LONDON ; by appointed Agents , Chemists , and others . N . B .

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 ) 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 aubject 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 .

ROUGHS , ASTHMA , and INCIPIENT V ^ CONSUMPTION are EFFECTUALLY CURED by KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES . During a period of more than forty years this valuable medicine has triumphantly borne the severest test of public opinion , and upon that sound basis alone , it has gradually but surely won its way to preeminence , until itis now universally acknowledged to be the most effectual , safe , and speedy remedy ever offered to the world for that large class of disease which afiects the Pulmonary Organs . The various Testimonials which are continually being received by the proprietor of Keating ' s Cough Lozenges from all quarters of the work are too numerous for publication ; and it may be justly considered that a medicine which has achieved so high a celebrity , as to have obtained the patronage of the British Court , of their Majesties the King of Prussia , and of the Kingof Hanover , together with the whole Nobility , Clergy , and Public of the Kingdom—which has penetrated to the most remote of our Colonies , and is as popular on the Continent as it is at home—is too well known to need further panegyric .
