at five pence for four ; dinner, with one 

 expence or other, about twelve shillings ; 

 breakfast, three shillings and nine pence ; 

 supper, the same ; a glass or two of bran- 

 dy and water, eleven pence each. In all, 

 the expence is about one pound two shil- 

 lings and six pence per day. Now these 

 captains know, that in Liverpool they live, 

 as to eating, at one guinea per week, and 

 have malt liquor ; or allowing for smoking, 

 wine, and brandy, two shillings and eight 

 pence, it will be five shillings and eight 

 pence per day : whereas in America, it 

 costs fifteen shillings sterling, without any 

 malt liquor. If they have a bottle of por- 

 ter, it will be one shilling and ten pence 

 more ; and a bottle of porter is only three 

 half-pints wine- measure. These are the 

 regular expences of the two countries; 

 and they will enable the reader to judge. 

 To corroborate the above statements, how-* 

 ever, the following bill is added.
