Accounts relating to the tea-trade of the East India company, from 1819 to 1823 inclusive, have been presented to parliament, and distributed to the members of the house of commons. The subject is one which must be of considerable interest to this tea-drinking nation. The China trade being the only monopoly now remaining in the hands of the East India company, its operation upon the price of tea has been the subject of much observation; for though it cannot be denied by any one, that by means of the monopoly a tax is levied upon the people of England for the benefit of the India company, the amount of that tax is disputed. That it is of no trifling

amount, the accounts before us would lead us to believe. The company exported from Canton, it appears, was in the year 1820-21,1,964,927lb. of Bohea tea, the prime cost of which was 75,3301. which makes something between 9d. and 94d. a pound. The average price at which this quality of tea was sold in England, in the sale of 1822, was 2s. 5d. 8-10-2s. 6d. 3-10-2s. 5d. 5-10

and 2s. 4d. 7-10. On Congou, the species of tea of which the greatest quantity is consumed (about 19 millions out of 27,) the sale price at the campany's sale in England is about 2s. 8d. while the prime cost has been about 1s. 4d. The government duty, moreover, is regu
