" John Cassem still lives in the elevating stream of literature for ever flowing from the great publishing house he founded. Few men have left a deeper mark on their age than John Casscll. He orrived in London in 1838, with all his belongings tied up in a coloured handkerchief. At the various temperance meetings which he addressed, in a rough and uncultured wanner, but with an jearnestaess that proved his attachment to temperance views. He saw, however, that more was wanted than mere preach* i:.g, and with a Sngacity deserving of recognition, he projected twd strong counteractive forces to intemperance— wbok-Bome beverages and educational literature. He set up in Fenchurch street an establishment for the sale of tea snd coffee. A long way after him McGowan follows with his 3s tea. McG-owait bos been in the tea trade for many years, and has a Home and Colonial experience in selection that few , can lay claim to. A few years ago it occurred to him, after seeing the sameness of the quality of tea supplied on the Thames, that there was room for a better article than that usually sold. At the same time ha saw that it would bo suicidal to introduce a high price, bo he determined to put before the judges of good tea an article for 3s, that could not be excelled, unless there were those wealthy enough to receive ifc from Russia, costing about 15a per lb there, being conveyed overland by earavaß. Most people have a bobby, and 3s TEA is McGk)"WAN's Hobby, get a pound and try it. McGowan's 3s Tea. is different and distinct from all other Teas.

It is his intention, at some future" date, to publish, for the information of the trade, full instructions as to the plant, time of pulling, selection, manipulation, &c. The public are requested to judge for themselves, in preference to listening to thj disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen.
