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 Brandy, these valuable properties are lost, and, from a generous and invigorating cordial, it is changed into a coarse and inflammatory Writ The great difficulty of procuring good genuine old Cognac Brandy 1 4 4 the high duty charged upon it, have hitherto prevented many , Persons from using it ; but now that a good and genuine article may De obtained, and at a much more moderate rate, it is natural to ex- Peet 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 an importer. He holds the largest stock of Cognac Brandy, Pale and brown, in this country, and, IA accordance with the wishes 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 but the best Old Cognac Brandy, genuine as im ported, and carefully selected. To those who know him, he feels assured that this pledge will be Satisfactory. To strangers, who can 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 r ecommends a trial, with reliance on their judgment in favour of the atiDerior quality of his Brandy. 51r.

The Scripholders' Committee have to announce that a Deputation of their Body had an interview with the Managing Directors, on the 19th instant, when specific answers were promised to a series of questions relating to the affairs of the Company. The Answers re ceived are most unsatisfactory, The D.rectors state that they " Cannot possibly give the amount of expenses," and that they " Do not Intend to call a Meeting under the Sessional Order, until after the second reading," which stands for the 29th ,instant. It is, therefore, of the •ty most importance, that THE PETITION TO PARLIAMENT TO. STAY. THE BELL, which has already received the support of nearly Four Thousand Scripholders, should before that day be signed by a clear majority. Scripholders wlio have not Signed the Petition, ALTHOUGH THEY MAY HAVE SENT A LETTER OF DISSENT TO THE COMPANY, are earnestly requested to apply, without thlay, - to Mr. G. D.

The Committee of Management have to inform their ShareholderP, that the Committee appointed to decide upon the group of railways in which this annpany's project is included, has been appointed to meet 011 MONDAY NEXT. The Subscribers are already aware that an arrangement for amal gamation has been concluded with the South Staffordshire Company, and that therefore the main expense of a Parliamentary conflict will be avoided ; the only point open for decision in Committee being, whether the route proposed by this Company or that proposed by the opposing Company shall be adopted. The conclusion of the Committee on this point cannot involve any lengthened sittings, and so soon as it shall be announced, the Share holders will he in a condition to arrive at a satisfactory vote upon the entire measure. The .171recior; have, therefore, thought it expedient to postpone the meeting, which could otherwise have been immediately convoked, in obedience to the new Sessional Orders; but it wil be called on as OILY a day subsequent to the decision of the Committee as the regal- Site forms will allow.

A whiter coat a n d one for summer weather Were heard the other day, in chat together. tray can you tell me (said the Winter Dress) Why I am daily noticed less and less ? A short time back (as no one disbelieves) I and my master were ' as thick as thieves.' On all occasions he would put me on, And say I made him look a downright ' don e And often would my master condescend To designate me as his faithftel friend. But things are alter'd now. what shall I do ? I cannot tell the reason, Sir, can yea ?" " Yes (said the other), I have got your place ; There's nothing more than common in your case. Our master read of MOSES" summer wrapper 8, And knowing they were nothing short of cappers, Re went to MOSES 'newly open'd Mart, And purchas'd one particularly smart. I am the very coat he bought of MOSES. You see what style my modern make discloses. MOSES and SON have pleas'd him so, with me, That you are quite forgotten, don't you see ? resides, I'm suited to the summer season, And that's, of course, a most important reason.

On Friday evening Sir Roderick Murchison delivered a lecture before Lord Prudhoe, president, in the chair, and a crowded audience, on the " Surface-accumulations of Russia and the north of Europe, bearing especially upon the origin and formation of erratic blocks or boulders." After some preliminary observations on the science of geology, he said, that the present inquiry extended only to surface geology, which by some had been erroneously considered as the easiest branch of the science, because it treated of those peculiarities in the phenomena of the earth's surface which are open to the observation. On the contrary, that portion of the science is by far the most difficult the geologist has to contend with. The distribution of erratic blocks or boulders has long engaged the attention of geologists, and it is a subject which is rendered the more interesting from the observations of certain philosophers in the Alpine valleys, who have assigned to them an origin very different from that which they really possess. lt has been urged that, because similar characteristics in the striation and polish have been the philosophers poron in question. rarked in the Alpine regions, the boulders which are dis tributedwith a over Europe are identical with rocks examined by is a stone which may question. But erratic blocks, together be traced and near 1\ oFogrod there 2t u u r s, are found distributed over the lower regions of Scandinavia. From one of blocksto certain rocks in Finland. The same phenomena observed n'ay be thistrac.ed to on side cf . the statue of Peter the Great was formed, which s the Scandinavian and this ridge i s the source of them all. is remarked To she h n att is on the other, o the fact, Sir Rod er i c k M urchison observed, that the orr portions of roc k y promontories have the surface polisherdn whereas the southern side of the sa me roc k i s rough, scarped' or terraced. This singular phenomenon is universal, and the striation does not extend beyond the north. Yet there are some naturalists who have endeavoured to apply to it the glacial theory, because they say they argue from a vera causes, and the appearances in the one case are similar to those in the other. In answer to this, it must be remembered that glaciers cannot descend below a certain angle of inclination ; and Mr. Hopkins, of Cambridge, has shown that an inclination of two degrees is the least at which it is possible for a glacier to descend; conseguently, if ,thi,s Aeon., Allem- 3correct, the 1 Alpine masses would nut only have tqUi.e Their way over a level track, but up an elevation of 'several hundred feet. The lecturer then made some observations in reference to such phenomena, on the Continent of Europe, as were produced by the action of the sea, and said that it was necessary to ac count for them ly an hypothesis of submarine action. On the coast of Sweden, the banks of deb4bes were formed by the depositions left by mountain torrents, and on this theory there can be no doubt about the formation and origin of the great boulders. Sir Roderick Murchison gives it as his opi nion that at a remote period, when the whole of the present north of Europe was a glacial region, that icebergs of vast size were precipitated towards the south, and as the mass gradually melted, the stones and fragments of its native rock were de posited an conlomerated, thus forming a mass totally different in d its structure from the rock whereon it rested. In proceeding to the north of Sweden they become very nume rous, and the nearer the point from which they all radiate is approached, the more are they multiplied. Long after the period of these erratic blocks, those mammalia whose fossil remains have, from time to time, been discovered, migrated into this country, having been generated in one common centre. Of the lost races of mammalia, one species only, the bison, or bos aurochs ' is in exist ence . This animal is found in one forest only of Lithuania ; a fact which has been satis factorily established by Professor Owen, through the ex amination of an unique and splendid skeleton of one of the present herd, which, at the request of Sir Roderick Murchison, was sent to England by the Emperor of Russia. Sir Roderick took this opportunity of announcing to the British public, that having last year ex pressed to his Imperial Majesty the vast interest which would be attached by Englishmen to the presence of a live specimen of this companion of the mammoth, and other gigantic animals now extinct, in the Zoological Gardens of London, that Sovereign had munificently authorised Count de Kis sileff, the Minister of the Imperial Domains, to order the capture of a male and female of the race, for the purpose, if found possible, of transmitting them to the Regent's Park. This is a remarkable instance of the friendly feelings enter tained by the Emperor of Russia towards this country; and as no specimen of the bos arochs has ever been seen in Western Europe, it is an act of splendid munificence, and one that Englishmen know fully hew to estimate. THE ARMY. CIRCULAR MEMORANDUM. Horse Guards, May 5, 1846. A second Lieut.-Colonel having been appointed to all regiments having reserved battalions, it has been deemed expedient to modify the regulations under which the com mand of these battalions has hitherto been administered, and to place them on a footing similar in most respects to the regular 2d battalions of particular corps, with a view to rendering them more efficient for separate service. 1. The second Lieut.-Colonel will assume the command of the reserve battalion unless otherwise specially ordered, and on its first formation he will be assisted by the junior Major, but afterwards the Lieut.-Colonel alone will be liable to be transferred to the Ist battalion, on the removal, by promotion or otherwise, of his superior. 2. All the other officers will continue to in the batta lion to which they shall have been originally posted, until by obtaining a superior _rank they may happen to fall into vacancies in the otherS. 3. The second Lieutenanf-Colonel 'will be held * responsible in all respects for the discipline and intorioriZonomy of the reserve battalion, which, however, mu* be conducted ac cording to the system previously established in the regi ment; he is to have the selection and appointment of his own non-commissioned officers, and is not to be interfered with in the administration and exercise of his command by the senior Lieutenant-Colonel of the regiment, whose authority will henceforth be limited to the battalion under his imme diate command. 4. The subscriptions on appointment or promotion towards defraying the expenses of the regimental band, will continue uniform throughout the regiment, but the annual contribu tion towards its support will be limited in reserve battalions to six days' pay from each officer. 5. The regimental depot will remain, as hitherto, com mon to both battalions, but in order to secure an equitable distribution of the men, and to provide for the equal effi ciency of the whole corps, the commandant of the depOt battalion is not to leave the selection to the Captains in charge of particular depOts, but will be careful to send out the drafts as they may be required, according to the date of enlistment of the recruits, provided they are in all respects it for service. 6. The same rule will be followed on the arrival of the drafts at a foreign station, whore two battalions of the same corps may happen to be serving together, when the men will be posted to battalions from the roster, without selection, and without reference to character, stature, or personal ap pearance. - 7. All the other regulations, with respect to the manage ment of these battalions, are to continue in force asheretofore. By command of Field-Marshal the Duke of WELLINGTON, Commander-in-Chief JOHN MACDONALD, Adjutant-General. "THE TAMING of A Srfaxw."—This celebrated pro duction of our great national bard was played in propria persona at the railway station, in this town, on the morn ing of Thursday. A lady demanded a ticket for London ; her husband interfered and prevented the clerk giving her one! she attempted to enter the carriage for the purpose of going without ; he caught hold of her, and would not allow her to accomplish her desire; and then she turned round upon him, broke her parasol upon his head, and fisticuffed him well. At length the train started, when the rage of " Catherine " knew no bounds ; she ran towards the Leen, and would have thrown herself into the tiny river for the purpose of drowning hers.ell, but his arm again frustrated her design. Many persons had now gathered round, who wondered much to see a lady so misconduct herself, and wondered more to see her husband keep his temper so well. A cab was sent for, and " Petrucio ' exerted all his powers of persuasion to induce his " Catherine" to enter, but instead of complying she sat down in the middle o f the station-yard, and said, " No, no ; the more I see of yen the mo r e I hate you!" This farce continued until nearly two o'clock : " Petrucio " gave up his efforts to tame " the shrew," and had reached the end of Carrington-street, on his way home, when he was overtaken by the self-willed dame, who now acknowledged that hunger had done what her lord and master could not do. They entered the Railway Inn, and dined together, after which we understand the ladyreturned home, and gave up for ever the design of leaving a husband whose temper showed him to be eminently qualified to make her happy. The gentlemen appeared to be a country clergyman.---Aot tinham Mercury.

The report intimat o es gat " the average daily attendance of out-patients is now about 100; the new cases presented weekly from 20 to 40 ; and the number relieved shwa the opening exceeds 3,000." The advance which the institution has recently made in the con sideration of the public, and the rapid augmentation of its Enances show that the value of such an establishment is begin ning to be properly felt; and it is with no small degree of solicitude that we urge its claims upon the notice of the wealthy and the benevolent. THE BATTLES OF ALIWAL AND SOURAON.— Two paintings, in illustration of these recent events, stre now on exhibition at the Cosmorama Rooms, Regent-street, and have, we believe, in consequence o f the interest felt in the event, already attracted a considerable number of visitors. In the first painting the time chosen is that of the charge of the 16th Lancers upon a square of Seikh infantry, which by the determined onset of her Majesty's troops, is broken and thrown into disorder. The Sutlej is seen in the distance, and the general character of the surrounding country is well described. The second picture, pourtraying the battle of Sobraon, is by far the best of the two. We here see the death of Sir Henry Dick, who is represented to have fallen amongst a crowd of the brave soldiers who are rushing to storm the batteries of the enemy. The 10th Regiment is charging up to the cannon's mouth, and a murderous dis charge of grape and round shot seems to have swept a lane through the unyielding mass of the attacking party. The horrors of this field of blood and slaughter are brought, by means of this picture, more truly before the spectator than it is possible to effect by a written descrip tion. In the rear of the enemy the smooth waters of the Sutlej wind across the plain, shortly to be tinged with Seikli blood, and to carry along with it, like the Simoom, the numerous bodies, shields, and helmets of the vanquished. The deadly conflict of Sobraon is one which confirms our power over the Seiklis, and it is nothing m^re than right that every difficultiesaare within E h n i g a l r is e lan aicmhtnsheonualbdleahviamil theimunsedlefraoftasnudchthmeeans with which our brave troops had to contend, and to teach him to set a proper value upon their services. THE FALKIRK BURGHs.—A gentleman from London lately presented himself to the electors of these burghs, to sound them on the subject of petitioning against Lord Lincoln's return, and intimated, that if an effort to unseat his Lordship were made, the expense would be defrayed by parties in London, who were, of course, friends to " purity of electior." Some few persons, we are informed, have agreed to petition ; but we have reason to believe that the great majority of the Liberal electors have resolved not to countenance the scheme in any way. Whatever the London gentle. man may pretend, we feel confident that his employers will turn out to be ConvorTaTo rrotcctloutot4.—§94o44lt, PARLIAMEN ARYDIV ISI ONS (From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.

(From the Wolverhampton Chronicle.) The obtrusion upon our readers of any matter in which we may be personally concerned we c Insider to require strong justification, and acting upon this im pression we have foregone frequent opportunities of bringingunder theirconsideration the subject upon which we now feel it our duty to make a few remarks. We need not, we are confident, do more than appeal to our readers' own experience for a testimony that our course has beerfre 6 from personality and slander, yet such, we lament-tesay, is the position of the law of libel, that while we concelyed ourselves to be honestly fulfilling one of our most imperative and important obligations, we find ourselves heavily punished ; and punished too for seek ! ing to restore to the public the enjoyment of rights and privileges of which, for many years, they had been— (and continue to be)—most unjustly deprived. - Our readers, from what has previously been placed before th em , w i ll, we doubt not, perceive that we refer proceedin gs tr c o o d n u s e e to qu ry en s t e u n p te o n n c o es u , r a p n ub ex li t s ra hi e n t g ir w om ith an a to the cas e o f the Lichfield Grammar School, and the few law proceed official report respecting this school, made by the Rev. Mr. Allen, inspector of schools, chaplain to the Bishop of Lichfield, and a high functionary in King's College; and this report was printed in a cheap form, in conformity to an Act of Parliament, and by the authority of her Majesty's most honourable Privy Council. The doors of the Lichfield Free Grammar School had been closed for between six and seven years, not a scholar had been instructed, and yet bad the endowment been regularly received by the master. Garrick, John so , and Addison had received their early education wit sin its walls ; and this fact, with the unparalleled ce cumstance that five of the twelve Judges of England at one time adorned the bench, who had been amongst its alumni, gave to the institution re ordinary claim upon the exertions of those who valued it for the scholastic renown it had acquired, or who d , sired to preserve it for the educational advantages it n - ieht yet dispense. With feelings influenced by the cireumstsnces we have mentioned—with a knowlec'ge that the reopenirg of the school was intensely desired, with complaints of its suppression both publicly and prlsately made to us, we copied from the Rev. Mr. .Alen's report, officially sanction e d as we have before stated, an extract in which the decay of the school was tothe attributed harshness of . its then master, th e late Rev. Cowperthwa ite Smith. This extract, un'hickii could not be leo-ally ro; !' for d us, contained charges which for libel against Mr?. eMr' Smith brought an action publisher of the ~P arker, r ep„. a tt l l: o b )okeller, the oligi , al copiel it. Mr. Parker, it should be ,Dfearivu(3 re b l-1 a for 11 ' a‘ I: ng hing the port, stood bew een the Rev. M ypublisr. Allen and hi. , legal liability. Government defended the action again .1 Mr. Parker, employed the Attorney-Gener a l and the l'r , u sury solicitor in his behalf; and paid for him the damages and costs. We, who copied the libel —we, who inven ed nothing, stated nothing upon our own authority —were coldly treated, repulsed, and finally found ourselves in volved in about 3001. expenses, because we believed the statements of a Rev. Government Commissioner to be true, and gave to them, as in duty bound, a local circu lation. Thus the original libeller, through the kindness of Government, escapes scot free ; we have to pay a heavy fine and damages. The justice, the honesty of this, we must own, we cannot conceive. Nor is this all. While conduct of the shabbiest character has been pursued towards us, our course, we venture without fear of contradiction to state, has been distinguished by an adh:rence to honourable principles which must, we think, originate a feeling of shame in those whose proceedings we censure. Some time —(we are compelled to disclose the circumstance, that our case may be properly understood)—before the trials, it was proposed to us that if we would declare the charges against Mr. Smith to be " false," proceedings against us ( would be abandoned. At that period the defence of Mr. Parker—(properly that of the Rev. Mr. Allen)—was in preparation, and we would not damage it by declaring the official report to be "false." We would not purchase an exemption from our liability by stigmatisin it with falsehood : we would not be a party to g yto increas ing the difficulties in the way of the defendant's justification. That we have not pursued a wordlywise policy we know to our cost ; we neglected more than one opportunity of staying legal proceedings against ourselves, because we did believe the libel to have a basis in truth, and becuse we could not believe that we should find ourselves aban doned as we have been to the consequences. The Learned Attorney-General, who, on the part of the defendant, profited by our forbearance, was, we perceive, one of our most decided opponents in the House of Commons, on Wednesday last. He told the House that "we began the matter with a latin quota tion—an aggravated offence certainly)—Ecce iterunt Crispinns—and followed it up with remarks certainly to the disadvantage of the master of the school," and he told the House that damages had been obtained for an article only because of the heading " Shameful conduct of an attorney." Is there any parallel between the cases ? We did not head the article "Shameful conduct of the Reverend Cowper thwaite Smith." No allegation of I'nel against the introductory sentences 1, as or could be sustained ; they were innoxious, and therefore we hold, as every man of common sense ail hold, that we have been con victed because we republished a libel . put forth under the ealtiority of government, not know ing it to be other wise than the truth. The Government, through its agents, • led us into error-14111d it is nothing less than a subterfuge to allege that a frw amusiat introductory sentences could justly depriie us of the right of being defended at the cost of Government, while that right or favour, whichever it may be'cidled, was accorded to the writer and first propagator of the " official report." The Learned At torney-General, also, in order to create a distinction be tween the two cases, says " Mr. Wood was defended by a different solicitor." We feel something like contempt in noticing such unhandsome efforts at mystification. Why was Mr. Wood defended " by a different solicitor ?" Because the Treasury refused to allow the Treasury so licitor to defend him : the request was preferred and re fused. And yet the Attorney-General urges this very deprivation as a circumstance adverse to our demands ! Mr. Muntz, we find, says he would be " the last man to interfere with the liberty of the press." We, how ever, beg to suggest another, and, as we think, more accurate version. He means, if he means anything by his context, " that he would be the last man to pro tect it." We always distrust people who start with unusually warm professions of regard ; there is generally a sting in their tail ; and so with Mr. Muntz. He has a great regard for the press, values its freedom, no doubt, as he does his life, and yet, in a case which has been universally admitted— (even by members of the Government itself)—to be one of extreme hardship, he does all he can to de prive it of protection—and more, even ventures upon a little fibbery to damage it—for he says we " commented upon it (Mr. Allen's report) unsoundly, unjustifiably, and untruly;" the literal fact being that not a word of • comment has appeared ! With Mr. Muntz's connexion with the late Rev. Mr. Cowperthwaite Smith we have nothing to do ; but we trust that the next time he patronises the " liberty of the press," his sayings and doings may be less injurious to his protege. For many remarks in our favour and on the general bearing of the enestion, we must refer to the parliament.. ary report on the subject, given in our fourth page. We feel proud of our standing throughout the debate. Not a word inculpatory of our conduct was uttered, except by Mr. Muntz. The support of such men as Lord Ingestre (to whom we are especially indebted), Lord Sandon, Sir ' R. H. Inglis, and Mr. W.D. Christie, is an honour which we highly appreciate. Nor ought our thanks to Mr. Ewart to be omitted ; the Hon. Member, though he thought the House ought not to int erfere—the case having been determined by the existing law—yet a t once said " he thought the Noble Lord ha d made out a h testi mony case for the alteration of the law. " Stronger in our behalf could not be g ive n. An altera tionis manifestly unjust, . in the law we earnestlyides desire. Its operation earnest)] to be so. The autho rised reports of the and itGovernmentis fe lt have become a snare No one dare rely up on Wall for the Press. and a pi risk of a is free from the their accuracy--no one 't who, with the best intent ions, may ruinous lawsui t venture to reprint or to rewrite or oth erw i se circulate their contents. This is the position of the law with regard to reports and other pacers issued by the Government, while those ordered by the House of Com mons to be printed are protected publications—the Speaker's eertificate of the accuracy ( '.' the republication is enough for a defendant's justification. Why, in the case of a Government report, such as that fucniohing the subject of these remarks, should not the same law prevail? It is this we seek; it is this the Press ought to seek; and it is this the law ought to afford. PUBLIC NURSERY FOR CHILDREN AT GLASGOW.— The experiments made at Glasgow of the practicability of establishing a public nursery for the care of children whose parents are prevented by their avocations from taking care of them at home, or of children who are orphans, has proved suc cessful. " Applications for admission," says the annual re port, " are becoming daily more frequent and urgent ; and as the working classes are becoming . more sensible of the a a c d c v o a m nta m g od es at o i f on the w i i n il st s it o u o t n io b n e , i r t e i g s ul b re v d m f u o s r th a tm l u a c r h ge greater com munity. Indeed, so successful has been the undertaking, and so completely does it answer the object intended, as far as limited means and limited accommodation yuuld permit, that there is no doubt that Glasgow will not long be the only city in this country that can boast of a nursery institution.

" Their food consists of porridge and milk for breakfast ; a roll at eleven o'clock ; usually broth, with beef and potatoes, for dinner ; and bread and milk or porridge for supper ; and care is taken that they have at all times a sufficient supply. Particular attention is also paid to the cleanness, comfort, and health of the children. Their cribs are kept scrupulously clean ; the rooms in good order, well aired, and, in winter, or when necessary, provided with firm"— Seotsmtm : THE MILK TRADE WITH LoNDoN. — A striking illus tration of the creative effect of railways upon the trading resources years ago, have of a district is manifest along the course of the Eastern Counties' line. fall to c h i t a c t: e that places, s n r inhabitantsthe The neighbourhoods of which w o o f u l l t d o m probably,for d , e nhe n roae t t : as v lin o; naf , y laughed at the idea of sending their . milk to the metropolis, now y can in t e i tt e rr l z voenrsy inco considerable and he l d in a e il at the stations referred to a number of huge canister-shaped tin vessels, used for the purpose of transit; and these having a van specially appropriated to them, the milk reaches i() den in prime condition.
