REDUCTION OF DUTY ON FRENCH BRANDY COGNAC BRANDY, like the wine from which it is obtained, requires age for its perfection ; when old, it is the most wholesome of spirits, but when new it is deficient in its good and medicinal properties; while, if adulterated with British Brant - . these valuable properties are lost, and, from a generous and invigorating cordial, it is changed into a coarse and inflammatory spirit. The great difficulty of procuring good genuine old Cognac Brandy, Auld the high duty charged upon it, have hitherto prevented many persons from using it ; but now that a good and genuine article may be obtained, and at a much more moderate rate, it is natural to ex pect a great increase in the consumption. To meet this demand, Mr. L. E. SEIGNETTE has determined to avail himself of his long and intimate acquaintance with the Brandy trade as all importer. He holds the largest stock of Cognac Brandy, pale and brown , in this country, and, 114 accordance with the wi s h es and recommendations of his numerous friends, he has taken out a Wholesale Dealer's Foreign License, which enables him to dispose of it in quantities of two gallons upwards, duty paid. He pledges him self to sell none bnt the best Old Cognac Brandy, genuine as im por , ho know him, he feels assured that this pledge will be ted and careflallY selected. To those w s a tisfactory. To strangers, feels cured discriminate the soft and fla grant flavour of pure and matured Cognac from the coarse, ardent, and frequently adulterated spirit until now imposed on the public; he recommends a trial, with reliance on their judgment in favour of the su p e rior qualityoffer to the Public the best llollande ofbehisgs also a n t d o y .

LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.- The Committee of Shareholders hereby give notice that no further Signatures to the petition can be received, nor Scrip marked as approving of the AMALGAMATION with the EASTERN COUNTIES COMPANY after TUESDAY next, the 26th instant. By order of the Committee, HENRY PHILIPPS. 4, Size land, May 22, 1846. LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. The Committee of Shareholders direct the attention of the ' Proprietary to an advertisement, by which, it appears, the Directors of this Company have convened a Public Meeting of the Shareholders for SATURDAY, the 30th Instant. The Committee have confidence in the integrity and character of the Directors, but fear they do not suf ficiently estimate the financial and other difficulties which will im pede the construction of so large a work, and the great relief which would arise to the Shareholders by an amalgamation with an estab lished dividend-paying company. There is little doubt that a complete consolidation of interests with the Eastern Counties Company might be effected, the liability on the Shares thereby decreased, and their value improved ; and that, if the Directors were convinced it was the wish of the larger portion of the Shareholders, they would feel it their duty to effect such an ar rs.ngement. The Committee have throughout only sought to attain this object, and they now urge the Shareholders personally to attend at the meeting, and if they vote for the continuance of the project to do so, accompanied with some suitable expression of their opinion ou the advantage of amalgamation. It is necessary fOr every proprietor, who wishes to vote at the meeting, to attend personally with his scrip, or to entrust it to a friend. Those proprietors who may desire to be represented by the Comm ttee, are requested to send their scrip, addressed to Mr. PhiHipps, No. 4, Size-lane, London, on or before Tlicasnav next, when a proper receipt will be given, and the scrip returned imme diately after the meeting.

Public attention is naturally directed to the continent of India, in these times of speculative enterprise, as a new and unexplored field for the investment of capital, from the conviction that the yet unde veloped resources of its wealth, its industry, and its productive power, will richly and amply remunerate the speculator. The millions who people that vast and fertile region of the globe, only require the impulse of enterprise to ran forth tne almost bound /ann. immediately surround them; and were they possessed of that great artery of civilisation —railroads —the current of their political and Industrial strength would instantly.become enlarged, not only in volume, but In richness also. If we glance at the continent of India, we find our power mainly concentrated on three points on the coast—Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, which form an irregular triangle, the base of which may be termed Madras and Calcutta, and the apex. Bombay; and the great bulk of the wealth mid physical power of India is inclosed within that figure; therefore, it becomes a :natter of the primest im portance to have the intersecting lines rif our empire as perfect as possible, so that our power may be fe l .t at every point, and our in fluence extended to every part. Pron. / the want of this concentrative , s p t :nt a dr aa b tg u i eou lieu of be rd othe mother a lucrative her country, paying lndia hasiexecutivetsbecoe almost a,ini ,i P b o a w re e ly r, possession —a wealth-yielding t h i To obviate this great and glaring defect in our Anglo-Indian em pire, it is only necessary t.(l extend to her the same means of com munication that we possess at home ; to bring, in short, the great centres of her internal - power nearer to each other ; and, instead of depending upon her rivers as lines of traffic and intercourse, she ought to have a Well-arranged network of railway extending over her surface ; then she would Increase in power, and augment in riches. The Direetßombay and Madras Railway is projected to carry out, in part, this noble schema;. and a single glance at the map must convince the most cautious calculator that the project is well founded, and the line of route happily chosen to effect its purpose; as it will intersect the most wealthy and industrious provinces of the continent of India, tile Carnatic, and the Mysore, which abound in natural productions, in manufacturing industry, and in agricnitural wealth. The two great i'resideneies of Madras and Bombay will be brought within a few hours' journey of each other, and not months, as here tofore ; and, in lieu of vessels making a long and dangerous voyage of some 5,400 miles half round the entire peninsula of India, their vastly cargoes may be easily conveyed to Bombay for shipment, in a less number of hours than the voyage occupies days ; thus avoiding all risks of damage, peculation, wear, and tear, &c., which in general characterise these voyages. The saving of insurance will also be immense—a matter of first-rate importance. In a political and military point of view, the line must be of almost incalculable importance, as it will intersect the great depots of the East India Compasay, and afford at a.l tunes a ready and prompt conveyance for troops, baggage, stores, artillery, and that cumbrous materiel which invariably attend their march ; and, above all, it will prove of the utmost utility to the Indian Government, in the distri bution of their forces among the various military posts of the three Presidencies, and for their rapid concentration on any required point, the watt. of which was so distinctly shown in the late calamitous events on the Sutlej, and the consequent fearful sacrifice of life. The district traversed by the Direct Bombay and Madras Railway contains upwards of 30,000,000 of inhabitants ; and the wants and industry of this large body already yield a considerable tonnage, at.hough in a comparative state• of barbarous communication. In the report of the Bombay Chamber of Commerce, we find that the traffic to and from that City amounts to 187,343 tons annually, con sisting chiefly of cotton and salt. These two items form merely a fraction of the requirements of the Indians. Bombay is unapproach able except bye dangerous and expensive sea-board, and a cheap and safe communication can alone render available her internal resources. Cotton has now to be transported 500 miles to the coast, to reach Bombay for shipment. A railway would naturally obviate so cir cuitous and expensive a route. Some idea may be formed of the de struction and delay occasioned by these journeys, when we state that the cotton is carried on the backs of oxen, at the rate of 10 miles per day, which enormously augments its shipment price. The present cost of conveyance from Nagpore to the port of shipment is from 14/. to 2' . /. a ton, and the charge by rail of 2d a ton permite would amount to 41. 3s. 4d., a considerable difference. The same facts pre vail in regard to silk and other commodities, which are of the first importance to our manufacturing interests. This line will also bring nearer to us the fine island of Ceylon, with all its rich productions, commencing as it will at Madras, and taking in its course Arcot, Vellore, Banglore, Oscotta, Bangalore, Sera, Dodairee, Hurrioor, Ohittledroog, Myacunda, Anagee, Hurryhur, Shahnoor, Hullyhall, Hoobly, Darwar, Taloor, Gohauk, Rybaugh, Meeruj, Kola poor.

The passenger traffic alone, accordireg t calculation, will yield an ample pespo s etentage r on ;sn tokea be capital raised;refl u and the immense tonnage of sSterchandise and raw produce must insure to the shareholders a profit beyond even the first-rate lhtes of England. The promoters o( t h e presen t sc h eme have rece i ve d intelligence from their a . ger.'tS that the line presents no engineering difficulties, and that th e cost of construction must be moderate, labour being plentiful, and the purchase of land comparatively trifling, and wood, coal! and iron abounding in the immediate neighbourhood of the whole The management of the Company will be vested in a Board of Di rectors in London, in connexion with an influential branch both in Bombay and Madras. Care will be taken, in the act constituting the Company, that the responsibility of the Shareholders shall be limited to the amount of their subscriptions ) and four per cent. interest will be paid upon tile capital advanced up to the time of construction. The Directors also beg to call especial attention to the principle by which allottees in this Company are protected glom an objectionable responsibility, by the condition that their application for shares will not be considered binding upon them, should they afterwards decline to pay the de posits recall: ed at the time specified ill their letters of allotment. A reserve of 40,000 shares will be made for India, which the pro jectors have much pleasure in stating will scarcely suffice for the demand already made.

RAILWAY ROBBERIES AND POST-OFFICE ROBBERIES.— Yesterday John Farr, who stands charged with being con cerned in robbing the post-office at Gravesend, and also with several railway robberies, was brought before Mr. Jardine for final examination. Mr. Peacock appeared on the part of the Post office autho rities; Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Nash for the South-Eastern Railway Company; and Mr. Robinson for the prisoner. In order to complete the evidence of the post-office robbery at Gravesend, the particulars of which have already appeared, two bankers' clerks were examined respecting the non-arrival and the remittance of the property stolen from the Gravesend bags, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. He was next charged with negotiating a 101. Bank post bill, which was stolen from a letter sent by post from Glou cester to London. Mr. John Williams, clerk to the Gloucester Banking Corn pany, stated that on the 29th December a letter was written to Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co., stating that a remittance, under a separate cover, amounting to 1671. is. 7d., would be forwarded by that nigh,,'s post, which he made up, and which consisted of five cheques value 871. ls. 7d., a 101. Bank post-bill, eight 5/. country bank notes, and three 10/. country notes, of which the 101 . Bank post-bill produced, dated October 1,1845, No. F 3,654, formed a part, and which he endorsed. They were , inclosed in an envelope, which he sealed and posted at Gloucester. On the following day a letter was received stating that no such remittance as was mentioned had been received. Thomas Thompson, a clerk in the service of Jones, Loyd, and Co., proved that no such remittance came to hand, of which he gave notice to the Gloucester Bank. William Wood, a tobacconist, 69, King William-street, City, proved that on the 4th of April, about seven o'clock in . the evening, being in his shop, a man came in to purchale cheroots and cigars, which came to 2/. 125., which he paid for with the 10/. Bank post-bill produced, which was brought to hiin by his shopnian, and be changed it. He was posi tive that the prisoner was the man. Sergeant Witcher, a detective officer, said that when he apprehended the prisoner, on the Bth inst., he had whiskers, which had since been shaved off. On this charge the prisoner was also fully commited for trial. Mary Anne New:and was then placed at the bar charged with having in her possession a quantity of property, stolen in the latter end of last month from the terminus of the South-Eastern Railway. Dr. John Roberts, No. 43, Baker-street, Portman-square, stated that on the 29th of April last, he was a passenger with his family from Folkestone to London, having a port manteau and a quantity of other luggage, which he saw de posited in the luggage train previous to starting. On arriving at the Bricklayers' Arms he discovered that his portmanteau was missing, and he never saw it again till the Bth instant, when it was shown to him by the officers at No. 163, Sloane-street, Chelsea, where the prisoner resided. It had been forced open, and a portion of the property was still in it, others being discovered in different parts of the house. On seeing the male prisoner, he immediately recog nised him as being at Folkestone, and subsequently at the Bricklayers' Arms station. Among the articles placed in the portmanteau were some of his wearing apparel. several volumes of medical books, a diploma and medical certificate, a 51. Bank note, with a quantity of small articles belonging to his wife, which were found mixed with the female pri soner's wearing apparel. There was also a gold bracelet in the trunk, which has not been found ; and some surgical instruments, with an opera glass, were found on the parlour table. Mr. William Brewster Henningham, inspector of police at the Bricklayers' Arms station, proved that on the arrival of the train, about a quarter past eight o'clock on the night in question, when the last witness missed his portmanteau , he was standing behind the barrier while the luggage was de posited, and he saw the male prisoner inside among the lug gage. Witness inquired what he was doing there, and in sisted on turning him out, at which time he , was in the act of taking up a green baize bundle. On being informed of the robbery he instituted inquiries respecting the cab in which the prisoner drove away, and ascertained that he was taken to Pimlico, upon which he futnished a minute descrip tion of the prisoner to the metropolitan police. Samuel Page, driver of 2,060 cab, proved that he took a man resembling the male prisoner from the Bricklayers' Arms station on the evening of the day in question to the White Horse public-house in Pimlico. He had at first or dered him to drive to the White Horse Cellar in Piccadilly, which was the address he left at the station, in accordance with the regulation that each driver should furnish the di rection to which a fare orders to be driven to. The luggage consisted of two portmanteaus and a parcel. Thomas Bateley, potboy . at the White Horse, Pimlico, re collected a gentleman coming in a cab with two trunks and a parcel. The prisoner resembled the gentleman, and he re mained about a quarter of an hour. lie required to be ac commodated with a bed, but there was none vacant, and he went away, leaving his luggage, and in about half an hour he returned in another cab, and took sway the luggage. About ten minutes before nine o'clock, while taking out the beer, ho again saw the same cab standing opposite a pawn broker's door, when the seine gentleman cam up and got into it. Joseph Bloomfield, driver of the last-mentioned cab, said that he took up a gentleman very much resembling the pri soner from the White Horse public-house, by whom he was ordered to proceed to the Vauxhall-road, but on going along he desired him to pull up at Debenham's pawn-shop to deposit his luggage, of which a trunk like that produced was a part, but he did not remove the large trunk which was outside. He next drove to the Vauxhall-road, and on reaching the Duke of York public-house the fare got out of the cab, taking the remainder of the luggage with him, and in. compliance with his orders, witness handed in the large trunk, 'which was left in the shop. John Dobson, landlord of the public-house, said that the prisoner resembled the person who brought the portmanteau -and hat-box in the last witness's cab. He drank some ale, and then took away the luggage, having delayed only a few minutes in the shop. Rebecca Wicks, a young' woman in the service of the female prisoner at 163, Sloane-street, said that her mistress went by the name of Newland, and passed as a widow. She had lived in her service thirteen weeks, during which time the male prisoner was in the habit of frequenting the house, and she always understood that they were brother and sister. On the night of the 29th of April recollected his arriving at the house, about ten o'clock, with a portmanteau snot a hat-box in his possession. She had seen one of the bonnets produced in her ntistress's hand previous to the time that Dr. Roberts came and identified the trunk and other articles as his property. The linen articles produced were found by the officer in a dra ver in the kitchen which was used by the female prisoner. in cross .examination witness said that the female rri soner had four children three of whom were living with her. The male prisoner hao access to all parts of the house except the apartments occupied by the lodgers, and her mis tress was not at borne when the male prisoner brought in the trunk. By Mr. Ballantine—She had every reason to suppose that the prisoners cohabited together, and she never knew that his name was Farr until two letters came directed to him, upon which her mistress told her it was all right. The letters arrived on the Thursday and Saturday before the pri soners were apprehended. Dr. Roberts being recalled said that a bracelet and several papers of importance which had been in the trunk were still missing. Mr. Ballantine said he had no further evidence to offer, and the witnesses being bound over, the prisoners were fully committed for trial. They will, however, be brought up again this day. WOI?Sli1P-STREET. Henry Shaw, a middle-aged man of respectable appear ance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with having embezzled various sums of money, amounting in the whole to nearly 5004 the property of his employers, Messrs. Gammen. and Co., wholesale glass manufacturers at Birmingham. Mr. Phillips attended to conduct the prosecution, and Mr. Naylor for the prisoner. . It appeared from the statement of Mr. Phillips that the prisoner had been for several years in the eel ;rice of the rro- ~" _~. / secutors as their London agent and collecting clerk, at st salary of 3001. per annum, and that it was his duty to trans mit to them at Birmingham whatever moneys he received on their account as soon as they reached his hands. Mr. Charles Beach, manager to the Birmingham and Mid land Joint-stock Bank, and who also described himself as an executor under the will of a deceased partner in the prose cutor's firm, deposed that after investigating 'the prisoner's accounts, he had waited upon numerous customers of the firm, and ascertained that they had paid the latter various sums of money, to the extent of at least 4501., for which he had failed to account. 3 For the defence, the prisoner's solicitor handed up to the bench a written agreement between his client and the prose cutors, in which it was stipulated that the prisoner was to receive 3001. per annum for his services, comprising a com mission of 3% per cent. upon all sa'ei he effeotee, and con tended thereupon that as his client had a direct interest in .the business the relative position of master and servant had not been established. Mr. BINGHAM, however, was of a contrary opinion, and considered that sufficient evidence had been adduced to jus tify him in detaining the prisoner upon the charge ; but be had no objection to accept bail, himself in 1,000/., and two sureties in 500/. each, for his appearance at the neat exami nation. AN TEAGHLACH - HEAG CHA RONNACH, OR THE HIGHLAND DWARFS. Under the extraordinary name o(." An Teaglach Bheag Charonnach," there is at present exhibiting at: the Cosmo rama Rooms, Regent-street, a family of Scottish dwarfs, consisting of two little men and 'a:little woman. The eldest of the little men is twenty-three years of age, and 45 inches high; the next is twenty-two years of age,. and 42 inches high; and the little lady is eighteen years of age, and about 40 inches high. They are natives of Rozs-shire, and, up to the month ofJanuary last, were living there with their friends, and assisting in the management otsi.larm. Mid Mackenzie, who is now exhibiting them, was travelling in Ross-shire last winter, and saw, as he imagined, a baskets proceeding oy itself at a very rapid rate along the high road.: - ale inquired what was the meaning of the strange appearanc(e, and was tolchit was "one of the little people." Ultimately he discovered that there was residing on the estate of Mackenzie, of Apple cross, a family of dwarfs, 'children of the same parents, who have never had any other children, and who themselves are of ordinary stature. He made arrang e ments with the party for bringing them to London for the purpose of exhibition, and here they are fresh from the Highlands of - Scotland at tired in•their national • costume, singing Gaelic songs and dancing.llighland dances to the national music of the bag nth)niptiev,emanedd:uuilmniqd,erstanding not one single word of English, but t e_m o versiug with those who do not understand English through of an inte . rpreter. Having until within th e last three months roamed at large upon their .. their kind, they is the characteristic of e so have mixed upon equal' terms with not me e t y ha e t he fa w tu d o w u a s rf a s p , p o e r, ar m an ,h c a e which that is still mixture of idiotcy and precocious disgusting, gh characterises the taught dwarf. Their i s n m o a re rtn d e i s s : countenances are intelligent, physical a''d the s i tature se stature fa r ti frearance is that of persons whose intellectual their fellows, albeit their i i n s e asso that t hat shorter. They dance their national reels without affec m taticn, and with great taste, and the far-famed Highland Sword Dance is danced by the elder of the brothers in a very superior style. This dance, which is one of the most cha racteristic and at the same time the most elegant and difficult of the national dances, would tell well in a theatre, and it would puzzle many a dancer of high fame to execute it in such admirable style as this little fellow. Small though he is, his muscular strength is prodigious. Ile can lift from the ground a half-hundred weight in each hand, and walk with them with ease. He is also a good broadsword player, and not the least interesting part of the exhibition, which, as far as the per formances are concerned, may be considered a strictly na tional one, is the broadsword play of himself and his brother, each being armed with "broadsword and targe," selon les regles. The performance is accompanied by the celebrated piper Hugh Lindesay, of Inverness, who carried off the prize at the last competition in that city, in 1845. Her Majesty having, through the Duchess of Buccleuch, heard of these dwarfs, was graciously pleased to command their attendance at Buckingham Palace on Friday week, and so pleased was her Majesty with their performance that they were honoured with the royal commands to attend the Palace again on Thursday evening, when they had the honour of again per forming before her Majesty. ROYAL SOUTH LONDON FLORI- CULTURAL SOCIETY. A grand miscellaneous flower show of the above Society was held at the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens, on Thurs day, and was acknowledged by all parties present to surpass all previous exhibitions of the kind held in these gardens. The following are a few of the principal prizes awarded by the judges :—For the best collection of miscellaneous plants (orchideous plants excluded), the gold Adelaide medal to. Mr. Reading, and the large silver Victoria medal to Mr. Hamp ; for the best collection of miscellaneous plants, not exceeding 24 (orchideous plants excluded), the gold Ade laide medal to Mr. Pamplin ; and for pelargoniums to Mr. Gaines ; for the best six specimens of orchideous plants, the large silver Victoria medal to Mr. Reading; and the extra prizes offered by members (given by James Copp?ck, Esq., and Mr. E. Denyer), for the best collection of miscellaneous plants (not to exceed eighteen pots), the gold Victoria to Mr. Bruce; and for the best collection of roses, the large silver Adelaide medal to Mr. Kay. The fruits and vegetables, which were very good, consisted of strawberries, grapes, and cucumbers, some of which latter production were the largest ever exhibited. The company, which was very numerous, in addition to inspecting the flowers and promenading the gardens, which are in admira ble order, were gratified at dusk with the Eruption of Vesuvius. This exhibition is now in perfect order, and the best arti ficial representation of a great natural convulsion we remem ber to have seen. The illusion, from the immense surface of the painting, the enormous machinery, and the endless (In ' charge of smoke and fire, is almost inconceivable in its effects. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
