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, 'lf adulterated with British Brandy, theso valuable properties are lost, and, from a generous and i nv i g orating cordial, it is changed into a coarse and inflammatory spirit. The great difficulty of procuring good genuine old Cognac Brandy, and the high duty char g ed u p on it, have hitherto prevented persons from using it ; but now that a good and genuinemany be Obtained, and at inuch more moderate rate, it is natur ar al tiel t e o u g: ea- Pat great increasethe consumption. • To nnet th is demand, Mr. L. E. ISEIGNETTE has determined to avail hiialself of his longnd intimate acquaintance with the Brand trade as an Importer. lie holds the largest stock of Cognac Brand Y pale and brovn, in this country, and, he accordance with the wish y e; 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 w ill 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 recommends a trial, with reliance on their judgment in favour of th e Superior quality of his Brandy. Mr. fieignette begs als o to offer to the Public the best Hollands' Geneva that can be imported. in uantities not less than two Mons Prices for Cash on delivery, q ere 245. per Gallon for best Brown Cognac Brandy. 265. t , best Pale Ditto. 203. b e st Geneva (Hoßands).

LONDON AND YOIIK 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. ONDON AND YORK RAILWAY . 4 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 Sartmwev, 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 rangement. 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 on the advantage of amalgamation. It is nccesslry 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 Committee, are requested to send their scrip, addressed to Mr. H. Phillipps, No. 4, Size-lane, London, on or before Ttionsnait 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 call forth the almost bound less riches that 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 and physical power of India is inclosed within that figure; therefore, it becomes a matter of the primest im portance to have the intersecting lines of our empire as perfect as possible, so that our power may be felt at every point, and our in fluence extended to every part. From the want of this concentrative power, India has become almost a burden to the mother country, barely paying its executive administration in lieu of being a lucrative possession—a wealth-yielding appendage. To obviate this great and glaring defect in our Anglo-Indian em pire, it is only necessary to 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 aught to have a well-arranged network of railway extending over her surface ; then she would increase in power, and augment in riches. _ . The Direct Bombay and Madras Railway is projected to carry out, in part, this noble scheme ; 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, the Carnatic, and the Mysore, which abound in natural productions, in manufacturing industry, and in agricnltnral wealth. The two great Presidencies 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 castly 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 Company, and afford at all times 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 want 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, al_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 by a 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 271. a ton, and the charge by rail of Id a ton per mile would amount to 4/. 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 hearer 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, Ghittledroog, Myacunda, Anagee, Hurryhur, Shahnoor, Hullyhall, Hoobly, Darwar, Taloor, Gohauk, Rybaugh, Meeruj, Kola poor, Satara, Poona, Poonah, Tulligaon, Singhur, Callianee, Basseen, Salsette, and Bombay; thus absorbing the interests and traffic of up wards of 30 first-rate cities, and from 400 to 500 towns in the most densely populated part of India, facilitating the conveyance of cotton, coffee, tobacco, opium, sugar, silk, senna, gum, cassia, dye-woods, hides, furs, lac, betel nut, saltpetre, spices, fire-wood, charcoal, coal, corn, and various kinds of grain, indigo, &c., and the imports of treasure, manufactured and other goods, salt, ice, &c. The passenger traffic alone, according to reasonable and careful calculation, will yield an ample per centage on tke capital raised ; and the immense tonnage of merchandise and raw produce must insure to the shareholders a profit beyond even the first-rate lines of England. The promoters of the present scheme have received intelligence from their agents that the line presents no engineering difficulties, and that the 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 line. 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 the 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 florn 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 requi:ed at the time specified in 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. Applications for shares, in the annexed form, may be addressed to the Secretary, at the Company's offices, 58, Fenchurch• street, and to the undermentioned sharebrokers and agents :—Messrs.

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 en 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 banke rs' 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 frem a letter sent by post from Glou cester to London. Mr. John Williams, clerk to the Gloucester Banking Com 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 167!. Is. 7d., would be forwarded by that night's post, which he made up, and which consisted of five cheques value 87/. ls. 7d., a 101. Bank post-bill, eight 5/. country bank notes, and three 10/. country notes, of which the 1 , 01. 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 purchase cheroots and cigars, which came to 2/. 125., which he paid for with the to!. Bank post-bill produced, which was brought to him by his shopman, and be changed it. lie was posi tive that the prisoner was the man. Sergeant etcher, 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 Mary Anne Newland was then placed at the bar charged ' with having in her possession a quantity of property, stolen in the latter eztd 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, wtten 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 5/. 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 furnished 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 en 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,danto edahed rce - mained about a quarter of an hour. He require commodated with a bed, but them was nene ou van a went away, leaving his luggage, he returned in another cab, and took away the luggage. and itt ab h a l f an hour About ten minutes before nine o'clock, while taking out the beer, he again saw the same cab standing opposite a pawn broker's door, when the same gentleman came 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 sohorend eerr desired f d r otmo p r o c e e dt h h e i m W h t ot i t o e pt Horse yu ap u p xa u ht b a l i pl c l br h oe o an u a s i ; e a b , mu b , ts y e pn w a h gw o on m i sg h h e a pwo along o ull deposit his luggage, of which a trunk like that produced was a part, but he did not remove the large trunk which was outsichs. He next drove to the Vauxhall-road, and on Ireaching 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, wjth a portmanteau ana a hat-box in his possession. She had seen one of the bonnets produced in her mistress's hand previous to the time that Dr. Roberts c.ime and identified the trank 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 tri soner had four children three of whom were living with her. The male prisoner has' access to all parts of the house except the apartments occupied by the lodgers, and her mis tress was not at home 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. WORSHIP-STREET. Henry Shaw, a middle-aged man of respectable appear ance, w as placed at the bar b efore Mr. Bin g h am , charged with ' having embezzled various sums of money, amounting in the whole to nearly 5001., 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 service of the pro- -- 1° .? ~~ secutors as their London agent and collecting clerk, at a salary of 300/. 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 3lid 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 hi had failed to account. For the defence, the prisoner's solicitor banded 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 300/. per annum for his services, comprising a com mission of 3 1 A per cent. upon all 4e h 3 effected, 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. BricctrAm, 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 he had no objection to accept bail, himself in 1,0001., and t‘vo sureties in 500/. each, for his appearance at the next exami nation. AN TEAGHLACH BHEAG CHA RQNNACH, OR THE HIGHLAND DWARFS. Under the extraordinary name of " 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 Ro s-shire, and, up to the month of January last, were living there with their friends, and assisting in the management of a farm. Mr. Mackentie, who is now exhibiting them, was travelling in Ross-shire last winter, and saw, as he imagined, a basket proceeding oy itself at a very rapid rate along the high road. He inquired what was the meaning of the strange appearance, and aas told it was "one of the little people." Ultimately he dileovered 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 i re of ordinary stature. lie made arrangements with the party hl o a f nd an da ta fo inr r edd b h r ien i r n et g ht i n ehi g ery t n h a e ar m tei of fresh sa national fromoo o n s d t o o n mt h f for rnstiihgn Highlands nn u g r d p osGsaoeefloi Gaelic Scotlande x s ii ig songs it i n td: anngdnuinderstanding not one p d i a p n e„ ci dances to c mversing with those who ces d 0 0 0 the national d m E u n si g c li o s f h th thr e ,obauh usoeqtcuyaalippale; precocious single ,vi w ng ord un o t f il En w g i l t i h s i li but o the medium g last three months roa me d n th at e i i v r e kin h d i , li t s hey an h d ave not thatfatt:doi mixed upon at large uPea their is the characteristic of so many show dwarfs, or, what s till ia i whichth more disgusting, that mixture of smartness which characterises the taught dwar£ Their countenances are intelligent, and their appearance is that of persons where intellectual stature is the same as that of their fellows, albeit their physical stature is somewhat shorter. They dance their national reels without affectaticn, 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. He can lift from the ground a half-hundred weight in each hand, and walk with them wit h 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," scion 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 with Mthajees dwarfs, was graciously ple as ed to c om ma nd th e i r a tt en d ance r ty oy w al iti commands i at Buckingham P a l ace on Friday week, and so pleased was L r th performance t o attend thatthteheyrae were lat a h g o ai no n ur o l Thursday evening, when they had the honour of again per forming before her Majesty. ROYAL SOUTR 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. Hemp 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 Coppock, 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, ffi addition to inspecting tl e flowers and promenading the gardens, which are in admirable 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 dis charge of smoleeland fire, is almost inconceivable in its effects. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
