REDUCTION OF DUTY ON FRENCH BRANDY, C OGNAC 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 spirit. The great difficulty of procuring good genuine old Cognac Brandy, and 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 an importer. He holds the largest stock of Cognac Brandy, pale and brown, in this country, and, in 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. Ho 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 recommends a trial, with reliance on their judgment in favour of the superior quality of his Brandy. Mr. Scignette begs also to offer to the Public the best Hollands' Geneva that can be imported. Prices for Cash on delivery, in quantities not less than two gallons are -- 245. per Gallon for best Brown Cognac Brandy. 265. v 1 best Pale Ditto. 20s. ~ best Geneva (Ho!lands). A liberal allowance to the Trade, to whom Mr. Seignette takes the opportunity of offering his Brandies and Geneva in bond at current market prices.

While in a state of embryo all animals consist entirely of fluids. 3. It is from and by the fluids that the - solids are formed. 4. The fluids contained in the human body are four times the weight of the solids. - b. The chief of the fluids Is the blood, from which all the others are derived. 6. The blood not only repairs every part of the human machine, but also carries with it all the rubbish, or decayed parts, to be depo sited M the intestines. previous to being expelled along with the excrement. 7. The blood is the life—the primum mobile—the first agent— from which all others derive their origin. 8. Health depends upon the purity of the blood. 9. The purity of the blood depends upon its having fres outlets for its decayed particles. 10. Disease is induced by the choking up of these outlets in the bowels, by reason of an accumulation of glary mucous on the inner surface of the intestines, &c. 11. This accumulation is occasioned by anything that weakens the circulation Or hurts digestion, but chiefly by the poisonous drugs and bad treatment of the faculty. 12. The impurities thus detained in the blood occasion every spe cies of disease, according to the quality Of the hUMour, or the path • cular locality in which it is lodged. all 13. All diseases proceed from one source, therefore they must be cured by one medicine. 14. This medicine must be a vegetable purgative, innoxious in it self, yet su fficiently powernil to pervade the whole system, clear away the above-mentioned mucous, and purifyt he blood. 15.

PRICE . 5D In cross-examination he said that defendant took jobs from persons, and banded them over to other persons. In this case he did not hint that any otber party was liable. There was no deed of dissolution. There was no notice in the Gazette. It was quite a private arrangement. They were at the present time joint surveyors of the Patent Elastic Pavement Company, but were not partners. The delivery of the plans to the defendant personally was then proved. The SECONDARY said that if it could be proved that the partnership existed at the time the debt was contracted, the action must fall, but the evidence went to prove the contrary. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONMANQUE.) The Coarturssrox IN RE BURRoWES.

OLD COURT. Yesterday the Recorder sat in this Court, and disposed of several cases, the details of which were of no interest to the public. A third Court was formed in the morning, and by this additional assistance the whole of the remaining cases were disposed of by the middle of the day, when the Court adjourned till Monday, June 15. ROBBERY of 2601. in LIVERPOOL. (From the Liverpool Albion.) On Saturday a stylish young fellow, who gave his name John Roberts, but. whose real name is Peter Keenan, was brought before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of having picked the pocket of Mr. Andrew Leighton, of the firm of William Leighton and Co., general merchants, South Castle-street, of his pocket-book, containing Bank of England notes to the amount of 260/. Mr. Leighton stated, that he had called at the office of the Branch Bank of England, Hanover-street, about eleven o'clock on the morning of that day (Saturday), and obtained the 2601. in notes, which he placed in his pocket-book. He then put the book in the hind pocket of his frock coat, and proceeded along Hanover-street, in the direction of his office. He had not gone many paces when he felt a slight twitch behind, and on putting his hand imme diately into his pocket he discovered that the book was gone. On turning round he saw the prisoner, and he at once said to him, " You hare got my pocket-book." The prisoner did not attempt to deny the fact ; he acknowledged that he had it, and, drawingit forth from the pocket of his coat, .he politely handed it to the complainant, and begged to be allowed to go quietly about his business. Mr. Leighton said it was impossible to allow so barefaced a robbery to be committed with impunity, and, appealing to a Mr. Williams, of Preston, who stood close by, he asked him if he had seen the transaction? Mr. Williams replied that he had. Mr. Leighton then looked about for a policeman, but being unable to find one, he seized hold of the prisoner, and a struggle took place between them. The prisoner mani fested the greatest possible eagerness to be set at liberty ; he offered six sovereigns, the gold rings off his fingers, and the watch from his fob, if Mr. Leighton would relinquish his hold, but finding that the offer was indignantly rejected, he sought and obtained permission to walk to Bridewell arm-in arm with Mr. Leighton, in order not to attract public notice. They had not proceeded far together, in this manner, when the prisoner suddenly withdrew his arm and ran off at the top of his speed through Cooper's-row. Mr. Leighton followed and overtook him ; and, after he had given repeated pro mises that he would not again attempt to escape, they walked arm-in-arm to the Bridewell. Mr. Rushton—Was your money all right? Mr. Leighton—All right ; it was in the same position as when I had put it into the pocket-book. Mr. Owen, who defended the prisoner, endeavoured to make it appear, on cross -examination, that the hook had dropped; but Mr. Leighton distinctly swore that his pocket was deep, and that it was quite impossible the book could have fallen out. Mr. Peter Williams, of Preston, stated that about a quarter after eleven o'clock that morning, he was on his way to the Branch Bank of England, and met three very respectable-looking persons, the prisoner and two others, in Hanover-street. Just as he was passing them he saw the prisoner pick the pocket-book out of Mr. Leighton's pocket. Thinking that they were all friends, well known to each other, and that it might have been a trick, witness stopped to see whether Mr. Leighton would look serious or pleased on discovering his loss, and observing that he looked serious, he instantly went up and stated what he had seen. Dawson, the Bridewell-keeper, said that on searching the prisoner, he found 71. on him, a few papers in the shape of bills of exchange, and a credit account similar to a credit ac count on a bank. The prisoner declined to say anything in his defence, and was fully committed for trial at the sessions. We have said that he was stylishly dressed. He wore a suit of black, black frock coat, black satin vest, and black satin stock, with cream-coloured kid gloves. He was not unknown to Mr. Parkinson, having been five times com mitted and eight discharged. He made his last appearance at the Liverpool police-court in 1842, and it is supposed that he has been almost ever since then acting professionally in London. Latterly he has been living at one or two very re spectable hotels in Liverpool, in first-rate style. His brother was transported. mo t,w p- :1 L - 4 MA Y 20 , 1846.

On and after the Ist of June, THE DAILY - NEWS, London Morning News paper, at Twopence Halfpenny. The newspaper is the intellectual life of the nineteenth century. Not to , speak of the moral and political safeguards which it affords, it places all, whatever their varieties of position, on a level as to in formation. Only by its means is the small capitalist enabled to con tend successfully against his wealthy rival for a knowledge of those changes which affect prices. Without the daily newspaper a family might as well be located in the back settlements of Canada as within ten miles of the great centre of European civilisation. These facts are felt—the gain is understood. It is remarkable, then, that more than a century since there were eighteen papers published in London, daily, or three times a week—while now there are only fifteen ! though the population has trebled, and, by means of the post and other facilities, the whole kingdom has been brought within the easy range, and under the direct influence, of the London press. In the city ofNew York more:daily papers are published than in all England, Scetland, and Ireland, put together. The circulation of papers in Paris exceeds that of London twenty-fold. Of a fact so startling, where lies the explanation?—Price ! That the public know the advantage of having a Daily Paper, is manifest from the thousands who pay 3d. for a paper the day after publication. What, then, are the causes which maintain the high price? First, the amount of capital required to be invested in a Newspaper speculation. Next, the various talent, knowledge, and experience which must combine to produce the result. The number and greatness of the requirements have, in truth, occasioned some thing very like a menopoly—and monopoly always commands its own price. Thus, whilst capital and competition have been doing good service in all other things, nothing has been attempted, in the direc tion indicated, for the political, social, and intellectual wants of three great nations; and a Daily Paper still remains a costly luxury, in which only the wealthy can indulge. The experiment is now about to be tried of establishing a London Daily Newspaper, on the highest scale of completeness in all its de partments, which shall look for support, not to comparatively few readers at a high price, but to many at a low price. Its success de pends upon the Public. • THE DAILY NEWS, From and after the Ist of June, Will be published at TWOPENCE HALFPENNY. . The paper will be of the same size as all other journals were within seven years; it will be larger than many of the high•priced daily journals aro now; and, in every particular of interest, it will con tain as much information as the most successful amongst its contem poraries. But it will be expansive : and double sheets will be given whenever an important Debate, or a pressure of News or Advertise ments, seems to require it. The marking features of our scheme are, let. We give to the reader, in what we hope will be an improved and more convenient form, all that he can find in the most approved of our competitors' enlarging always our surface to embrace whatever of unusual inte rest the times may present. The difference between them and us will be only in that host of Advertisements, which we, too, will be happy to give in an additional sheet, whenever the public shall supply ns with the occasion. 2ndly. To the reader who now pays Fivepence for his paper, we offer the same thing at half the price; and to the man who hires his paper, a paper of his own at about the cost of the hire. It, then, only remains for the public to justify the experiment ; remembering that their interest in the issue is no less than our own. Let him who would support us in the seasonable attempt subscribe without delay. _ . . Every news agent will, we hope, supply the paper at twopence halfpenny, where payment is made in advance ; the same propor tionate allowance as with other papers—something more than twenty-four per cent.—being allowed by the proprietors to the trade. When credit is given, it is a matter of private arrangement, with which tho proprietors have nothing to do. As, however, in an undertaking so bold and so novel, it is advisable to guard against possible inconvenience, the proprietors of TIIE DAILY NEWS will undertake to get all persons supplied who shall forward a pest-office order payable to Joseph Smith, Daily News Office, Whitefilars, London. For Three Months ......... ..... .......... £0 I 6s. O. Or any longer period at the same rate.
