GOTTINGEN, DEC. 2.—Though a great many, professors have declared themselves averse from signing the Act or Ho mage which have been' sent them, the result will probably be that (the seven excepted) they will do homao-e, and then pro test, in corpnre, against the abolition of the Constitution. Our citizens have nothing before their eyes but the injury that awaits the university and the town for What has been done, and what may he expected, and blame the protest becauset Gottingen need not again sacrifice itself for the country. It' is, however, a fact which cannot be denied, that the King is, much praised and extolled by the country people. We daily hear it said, " the King desires only the good of the country ; people should- only wait and see whether things will not be better." Or, " The King thinks to put down the nobles and the great people, who there fore seeks to excite discont nt ; the, King is King, and may therefore do what he will." With the unlimited con fidence of the most extravagant hopes and wishes are enter tained—one will have all guilds abolished, the peasants hope that all the domains will be divided and farmed out them in small portions ; all expect a great reduction of taxes. There is little concern for general rights, and every one hopes that the King will favour his own class or profession. The whole question of the 'Constitution is not indeed with the act of homage. The best.manifestatimi of the sentiments of persons holding office (and they lose the most through the Constitution) ,Would have been, if they had declared them selves like the professors of Gottingen. We shall see whe ther, if the elections to the Assembly of the States are made according to the Constitution of 1819, the Assembly so formed will not decide itself incompetent. It is impossible to foreQee the end, especially if protests should be made by the collate-, stal relations, and complaints made to the Diet of the Confe deration. OSNABVRO, DEC. s.—The Board of Magistrates , and also the Elders as representltives of the citizens, on signing the Act of Homage yesterday, resolved declarations respecting the Constitution of 1833, which have been already sent to Hanover ; they each state, that though they do not hesitate to sign the Act of Homage, they reserve to themselves a right to take part in such steps as may be legally permitted to ob tain the recognition of the Constitution, as they cannot cont vince themselves of the validity of the arguments on which it is declared to be invalid. _ _ _ COURT CIRCULAR.

T is long since we disclaimed all interest in the sale of " Patent Brandy," from a conviction of the practicability aid expediency of materially improving the composition of an article Worthy of being adopted as a substitute for the genuine COGNAC; While pat ties who adhere to the specification of a patent, however I mperfect, are p rec l u d e d f r om making the slightest improvement. `-' l lr success has exceeded our expectations ; it has equalled our Wishes ; and we can appeal to the experience of seve ral thousand to the medical professioW, to connossieurs of every rank, an d to the most competent judges in the trade, for confirmation of of this i m p or t an t fact—that while BRETT'S IMPRO VED BRANDY can never be detected as. a British production, it is es le/Wally more pure, stands the test of dilution, and is altogether better adapted to medical and to general purposes than any spirit hitherto submitted to public approbation. We are most solicitous t hat our Brandy should rest upon its own intrinsic merits ; but as extreme caution is necessary, to prevent its being confounded with a very different article, we cannot tno earnestly recommend direct ttplication to this establishment; where a single sealed bottle of the I MPROVED BRANDY may be obtained (as a sample) for n 6d., and whence an Imperial Gallon or upwards will be for- Vzded, carriage free, at 18s. for in to any market town in '-ngland, if previously settled for in London. HENRY BRETT and Co., Old Furnival's-inn, Holborn-bars. BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY. IV OTWITHSTANDING the publicity for many past given to the superiority of BETTS'S PAT ENT DRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY over every other Spirit, British or Foreign, it is yet but partially known: J. T. BETTS 1 d Co. therefore will feel it a duty they owe - to the Public and , 1 1_ 1 t hemselves, to invite a comparison between the PATENT and the :Pile& Brandy, until every Family in the kingdom, in which '"'"lndy is consumed, have madeArial of their PATENT BRANDY, wand consequently discontinued the use of the foreign article.— Their respective m erits are fairly developed in the following Testi konials, to which they again beg to refer. EXTRACTS FROM TESTIMONIALS. " Your Brandy is free from uncombined acid and astringent utter. which exists, more or less, in most of the Brandies im- Ported from France. " JOHN THOMAS COOPER, " To Mr. Betts." " Lecturer on Chemistry." I a m bound to say, and do assert it with confidence, that, for purity of spirit, this cannot be surpassed ; and that your Patent „ . rkody , i s a l so qu it e f ree f r om those acids which, though minute in vi lutity, always contaminate the Foreign Spirit. " JOSEPH HUME L. T. Betts, Esq." " Chemist to his Majesty." E r , 1 , do not hesitate to express my convic tion that y our Patent 410 „ - , k .1 fully as free from every thi n g in j urious to health, and - ` II IIIS as pure a spirit, as the best varieties of Foreign Brandy. " EDWARD TURNER, " Professor of Chemistry in the University of London." " John T. Betts, Esq." It is this perfect freedom from the above objectionable qualities, and its agreeable similarity in flavour to the finest sa m p les of Co g nac Brand y tha t that constitute the peculiar valu e of the PATENT tiR A To prevent imposition, J. T. BETTS and Co. fell it important to observe that Brandy is the only article they sell , and als o to im dess upon the Public the fact that their only Establishment is the istillery, No. 7, Smithfield Bars, adjoining the Cattle Market, !here th e P a t en t B ran dy ma y be had, either pale or coloured, of the highest legal strength, in quantities not less than two Gallons, i t Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, delivered free of ex- Pe se to any part of the Town, for Cash on delivery.

STOCKHOLM, DEC. 3.—His Majesty was officially informed that en English ship, which arrived 7th Oetoberat Gottenburg, there to take in Swedish produce for Liverpool, had been hin dered from doing so by - the objections of a Custom-house officer, who affirmed that it had no right to full exemption from the duties of custom, because its papers were delivered in one of the colonies of Great Britain. His Majesty examining this question, decided on the 10th November, that as the said ship, according to such papers, sailed under English colours, it was to be considered as a British ship, according to Article 4 of the Commercial Treaty between Sweden and England, which extends entire exemption from duties of Customs to all ships sailing under British colours, and must therefore enjoy the advantages which the said convention gives to such ships, and which shall be henceforth enjoyed by ships coming from the British colonies. The Tribunal of Police at - Bergen, in Norway, passed sentence on the 15th of November in the affair of the Marquis of Waterford against the watchman, Baynild Large Hamre.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, YESTERDAY.--. The transactions of the week hare been in some measure with out excitement, and moderate in the extent, without change in prices, our quotations of today being about the same as at the close of last week. The Surats at auction to-day went off at about the current prices, and of 707 bales offered 310 bales were sold at 4i-d. to Sid. The sales to-day are 3,000 bags of all kinds, and the market, if any thing, languid. Speculators have taken 2,000 bales of American and 200 Surat. _ _ DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF A COTTON MILL, NEAR LANCASTER.—About three o'clock on Sunday morning last the spinning mill of Messrs. Samuel Greg and Co. called The Low Mill, at Caton, near Lancaster, was discovered to be on fire. The manager, who resides near the mill, immediately gave the alarm, and the inhabitants of the village, together with the resident member of the firm, John Greg, Esq., Mayor of Lancaster, were quickly on the spot. Unfortunately the nearest fire-engines were at Lancaster, a distance of' four miles, to which place an express was immediately despatched. The flames originated in the cotton room ; and there being no means of hecking their progress that w ing of the building was speedily enveloped, and the chances of saving the other portions of it appeared exceedingly small. The walls of the mill, which had been built many years, were found to contain an unusual quantity of wood, and, the fire raging with great fury, the efforts of the bystanders were directed to the wing containing the steam-engine. Two fire engines from Lancas ter arrived in a remarkably short space of time, but a great part of the roof, the floors, containing the machinery, and the walls, had already fallen in. The flames, however, had not reached the engine, and upon this part of the building thPy commenced playing. Their exertions were so far successful, and the engine is comparatively uninjured. The fire was not got under until six o'clock, and the mill is now little better than a heap of ruins. The value of the property destroyed is said to be nearly 15,0001., and it is stated that Messrs. Greg were insured to an amount exceeding that of the loss. The cause of the fire is not known. Upwards of 150 persons have been thrown out of employ by this calamity ; and it is feared that the extensive mill of Messrs. Greg, in Lancaster, will be stopped in consequence, as it was entirely dependent on the Low Mill for cotton twist. The consequences, to the town and trade of Lancaster, should this supposition turn out to be well-founded, will, at this inclement season of the year, bo most disastrous.—Liverpool Mail.

GORE'S MARY RAYMOND AND OTHER' TALE•..--SUCh is the captivating effect of these stories on the reader, that we should not be surprised to find them have even a greater run than her regular novels. The Atlas observes of them, " The versatility discovered in these it-sties is, per haps, the first peculiarity that will strike the reader. We have sketches in Paris drawn to the life—the Rue Rivoli, and the Marche St. Honore, and the; Tuillerles, with the cut-of. door gaits, so freshly and naturally brouglir out, that th'ir pro priety in all respects is instantly recognised ;—then what can excel the fidelity of the view of the Forest of Fontainebleau, and the historical accessories?—the wit that sparkles through the rapid panoramas of men and manners that are unveiled in the French, Gerraan, Italian, and English scenes of these minature novels ?—and the philosophical analyses of individual T w A as T l E .er o y F mo T de re year,e d character that are wonderfully developed in so limited a space?" yarn S indeeo, business is solder's very active ; and the continued ad.
