The foll ow i ng E x t rac t s f ro m s ome of the high Testimoni a ls of the most eminent Chemists, whose judgment has not in a single instance been called in question, will ever distinguish this valuable title from all others speciously attempted to be foisted upon con sumers ; since, in the numerous cases where parties have sub reitted their prOductions to the usual Chemical tests, the reports hive invariably been such as they have not dared to make public. These exclusive evidences in favour of the unrivalled quality of t he Patent Brandy, further sanctioned by the personal adoption 4 t 1 (1 strong recommendation of the leading members of the Medical Profession have obtained for it the decided support of many thou cl families in the Metropolis and its vicinity ; and of correspond iug numbers extending to the most remote parts of the kingdom. EXTRACTS FROM TESTIMONIALS AFTER ANALYSIS. " Your Brandy is free from uncombined acid and astringent Matter, which exists more or less in most of the Brandies imported from France. " JOHN THOMAS COOPER, " To Mr. Betts." " Lecturer on Chemistry." I arn bound to say, and do assert it with confidence, that for I tirity of spirit, this cannot be surpassed; and that your Patent sirandy is also quite free from those acids which, though minute in ~‘ls l antity, always contaminate the Foreign Spirit.

PECTORALCHURCH'S PILLS.—These Pills have been long known as beneficial in the remoll of Coughs and Colds ; when the Cough is attended with great un easiness and shortness of breath, and also accompanied with wheez ting, the Pills have invariably produced relief. It may be satisfac wy to many persons to be informed that Mr. Church was an apo zhecary of very extensive practice, and from long professional expe l'ience of the bent acial qualities of these Pills, recommended them frith the greatest confidence. Price Is. lid. and 2s. 9d. per box. *** Ask for Church's Pectoral Pills, and see that there is en craved on the Stamp, " Evan Edwards, 67, St. Paul's."

Previous, however, to entering liatw the hallowed obligation of marriage, it becomes an impressive atY not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted PlEasure may have entailed upon it. Luxurious habits will effemi bize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre --but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too Zegilently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, " - urn whence the agonized sufferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope— energy —muscular strength—felicity. The easy cares of married le are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings Which eoncentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often "nstitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved into functional paver. In every case of syphilitic i ntrusion, as well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, We pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with effect. Confident 14 our own honourable integrity as Members of the College of Sur geons, we refer the suffering . c ommunity of either sex (especially Rose entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where ; 14 4 attendance is given for personal consultation ; and letters rum the country are immediately answered ; these must contain a teruittanee for Advice and Medicine, describing minutely the case, Which can be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant. ;No difficulty can occur, as the Medicine will be securely packed, a nd carefully protected from observation.

INUNDATION AT GREENOCK.—WC are happy to state, that the subscription in aid of the sufferers by the late melancholy event now amounts to 1,4551. 19s. 3d., and that it is still going on. Cockermouth is now the focus of West Cumberland politics. Mr. Horsman has taken .his leave for the present in an address, in which he announces that he has completed his canvass ; that his election is now " to all appearance" . certain. Another candidate has appeared in the person of Richard Moorsom, Esq., of Whitby. Mr. M. arrived on Saturday, and addressed the electors yesterday. Mr. M. contested Whitby, on the independent interest, but unsuc cessfully, against the Tory, Mr. Chapman. We are also told that to Henry Christian, Esq., of Unerigg Hall, intends to make an attempt on the Liberal interest, and that Charles Manly Browne, Esq., son of the late Sir John Browne, Bart„ has notified his intention to start on the same inte rest.— Whitehaveit Herald._ AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH OF A MUTE. — Yesterday an inquest was held before Thomas Stirling, Esc! Coroner, and a highly respectable Jury, at the White Hart I n n, Hammersmith, to inquire concerning the death of John Dunstan, aged 66 years, who dropped down dead while standing as a mute at the . door of Thomas Griffith, Esq., at Hammersmith. Robert Jennings, of Chiswick . , about twenty minutes past two o'clock on the afternoon of Tuesday last accompanied the deceased from the house of their employer, Mr. Featherstonehougli, to Mr. Griflith's door, where they had not stood above five or six minutes as mutes, before the deceased said " how this place is altered," and directed witness's attention to some large houses oppo site. On turning round witness f oun d the deceased had fallen down without his having beard him fall ; and on speaking to him, receiving no answer, he became alarmed and knocked at the door, supporting the deceased's head with his arm until it was opened by Mr. Featherstonebough , who immediately directed witness to fetch a doctor. When witness had done so he returned and assisted in conveying the body to that house, where the doctor attempted to bleed him, but very little blood flowed, and he then pro nounced life to.be extinct. The deceased, who was a cor pulent man, had not, to witness's knowledge, met with any previous. accident or injury. The Jury returned a verdict of—" Died by the visitation of God." The renovations of this noble Hall are now in a very forward state, and the general appearance is of great promise as to the effect that will be produced when it is completed. The beauty of the stone and the ex cellency of the workmanship are such as to warrant rather elaborate details ; were they consistent with the limits of a daily journal, they could not fail to be exceedingly interesting to all those who concern them selves at all on the subject of our ancient and public buildings, or with the merits and peculiarities of de corated architecture; but we must, nevertheless, confine ourselves to some general descriptions—descriptions, however; that will well reward all for the perusal. The ashlar lining of the interior of the Hall, the niches, and the beautiful sculptured cornice are now com pleted. The large South window, and the whole of the windows on the East and 'West sides are also com pletely restored. And great progress has been made with the ashlar front of the South end, and a door has been formed to face the North door, and to form a ready communication with the erections that are con templated for the new Houses of Parliament. It is somewhat remarkable that the Huddlestone stone used in these repairs was not known to have been employed upon any former occasion at the Hall, and the discovery was not made till after the fire at the two houses of parliament, when considerable progress had been made with the works. It is now ascertained that it was used conjointly with the " Caen" stone in some of the windows on the east side, and in the mas sive buttresses ; and that the whole of the south front was ashlared with it in 1646. This beautiful stone is from a quarry on the estate of Richard Oliver Gas coyne, Esq., at Parlington, near Leeds ; and it was recently brought into notice by the opening made on account of the Leeds and Selby Railway. In examining this beautiful edifice, any person must be struck with the narrow escape it had during the conflagration. It appears from undoubted testimony that the masons in the employ of Mr. Robert Johnson, the contractor for the works, placed their ladders to the east windows, adjoining the south end ; and under the direction of Mr. Allen, the foreman, tore down the burning lath and plaster, constituting blocked-up windows, before any assistance arrived, and if this had not been done, the fire would soon have communicated with the roof. The merit of the preservation of the Hall may, therefore, be justly attributed to Allen, who, curiously enough, is now engaged in superintending the renovation of the Hall. It appears to be intended to . lay the floor with fine York stone landings, in squares of nearly two yards each way, and they are deposited in great numbers within the Hall. They will be laid in uniform lines. Nothing can exceed the beauty of the material—we mean the stone employed for this work. A gentleman now living heard its qualities discussed and highly ap proved by the late Mr. Flaxman and Mr. Nash, each of whom were anxious to have it used for the triumphal arch ; but the quarry had been so long in disuse that it was reported to be impracticable to provide a sufficient quantity in the time required. It is supposed that the attention of Sir Robert Smirke was drawn to it -during the recent repair of York Minster, where it has been used for the finer works to as great an extent as it could then be pro cured ; and it it evident that the selection was made previously to any of the circumstances here referred to being discovered. Independently of its value, it is re markable that the quarry should have remained unused for so long a time, and be now once more worked for renovations where the self same quarry had been used so long ago as 1646. The — stone found with " 1646" worked in it, Mr. Gascoigne intends, it is said, to have placed in the hall of - his mansion. Toir PAINE.—The famous Tom Paine was a journeyman staymaker, at Thetford, in Norfolk. From improving the forms of ladies he tried to improve the forms of Government. He made but on,l step from corsets to Constitutions, for which faux pas he was obliged to take " French leave" of England. He was in Paris during the fever of the first French revolution ; he afterwards went to the United States, where he resided till his death. A murder is reported by a Tipperary paper to have been perpetrated on Sunday morning in the county of Wa terford on a man named Downing. Suspicion has fallen on J. Brien, as there was some hostility between the two, on account of a sister of the former, whom he refused the latter. The deceased was dreadfully mangled, having re ceived no less than eighteen wounds of a pitchfork, together with his head fractured in several places. JEREMY DIDDLER.—A fellow has lately been victimising several of the Yeomanry. This Didler appeared in the assumed character of agent of no less a personage than . Earl Grey, by whom he described himself as deputed to purchase a large stock of cider, the Noble Earl being anxious to supply his cellars with an ample provision of the celebrated Herefordshire beverage. Mr. Didler poured a little of the oil of flattery into th ears of his victims, and found that after he had performed this operation, he might 'lead them by the nose, whithersoever he pleased. Of course he described Herefordshire as the only place in the world where the real genuine nectar could be obtained, and that even in Herefordshire no spot but Mansel Ga mage or Ludlam could produce the primest of the prime. Mr. Didler was even more fortunate than his worthy rela tive of dramatic notoriety, for invitations to breakfast, dine, and sup on the fattest poultry in the farm yards, and sleep in the best bed in the best room, flowed in upon him from the right hand and the left. Mr. Didler purchased freely at liberal prices, and modestly wrote the address of Earl Grey on the heads of the hogsheads. Mr. Didier had a little business to transact a little further on, and he would return and pay cash for the cider, and give directions for its transmission ; but, passing strange, his Lordship's agent has not kept his word I—Hereford Times. PREMATURE PATRIOTISM.—A young stripling, apparently about fourteen years old, presented himself at the poll during the recent election at Boston, and the In spector asked him if he pretended to be old enough to vote. " I rather guess I du," says he, " I've shaved at spells for three months back, or so." This effort of juvenile genius created a loud laugh, which was finally ended by the In spector telling him that he was rather too young a shaver to shave hi m (th e I ns p ec t or ), an d hi s vo t e was accordingly rejected.—New York Paper. Louisa Lafosse deserted her husband, and went to live in a state of adultery with another man, who, some months ago, abandoned her. Excited by revenge, at not being able to induce him to renew their criminal intercourse, she : enticed him a few days ago to her lodging, under pre tence of restoring him the duplicates of some of his pro perty she had pawnecd. He went, and she renewed her so licitations ; but, finding him inexorable, she became furious, closed the doors, and stabbed herself in several places with a sharpened file. The poor man in his alarm fled, telling the people of the house that a woman above had killed herself. The Commissary of Police was sent for, and on interro gating the woman she affirmed that the wounds had been inflicted on her by her late paramour. The young man was arrested, and strenuously denied the fact, but was kept in custody. Fortunately, however, for him, a person came forward, and declared that he had sold the file to Madame Lafosse herself. Upon this she was confronted with this witness and the prisoner, and at length confessed that she had committed the act herself, and accused her associate, in revenge for his conduct towards her. The man was dis charged, and the woman sent to the hospital.--Paris Paper. MILITARY FLOGGING.—At Abergavenny Petty Sessions, on Wednesday last, Thomas Dawson was charged with deserting from his Majasw's service, in the 34th re. giment of foot. The prisoner, whose dress was in com plete tatters, had the previous day been taken up as a va grant. He was probably in great distress, and was there fore induced to confess that he was a deserter. Upon his examination before the Magistrates, he stated that in the year 1822 he enlisted at Carlisle, in the 34th regiment of foot, and joined the regiment at Portsmouth ; Le served till 1835, when he deserted. During the period of his ser vice he had repeatedly misconducted himself, and had been severely flogged. Although upwards of ten years had elapsed since he suffered this degrading punishment, several marks are still visible on his shoulders--a testimony of the cruel laceration which his body underwent. The prisoner, who was previously examined by a medical gentleman, is pronounced to be unfit for future service. He was ulti mately committed to Monmouth Gaol, there to await the result of a communication, to be forthwith made to the Commander-in-ehief.—HeNford Times. The followincr is an extract fiorn the official ‘.‘ Digest of the Excise Inquiry Commissioners' Thirteenth Re port," which is on Glass—another proof of the injur ious tendency of imposing duties that interfere with manufactures and the progress of improvements : " The injurious effects of the Excise regulations, in preventing the application of the various kinds of glass to some of the most important purposes connected with the arts and sciences, are strongly pointed out by the Commissioners of Inquiry ; and the evidence of Mr. Aiken, the Secretary of the Society of Arts ; of Mr. Dollond, the eminent manufacturer of optical in struments ; and of Mr. Frederick Fincham, an exten sive manufacturing chemist—all of them gentlemen eminently conversant with the subject, are specially re ferred to, in proof of the impediments which these re gulations interpose, amounting in many cases to a com plete bar, in the way of those experimental researches which are necessary for the adequate pursuit of objects connected with some of the most important branches of science. " Mr. Dollond describes very forcibly, in a letter inserted in the Report, the difficulties with which he has had to contend, in consequence of Excise regula tions, in his attempts to improve his instruments, it appearing that he is almost entirely dependent upon foreign manufacturers for the supply of that. particular kind of glass which is required for the large telescopes, and which he is willing to buy at almost any price, but which, from the extreme care required in its ma nufacture, is not always to be procured. Mr. Dol lond states, therefore, that it would be a great advan tage if it could be manufactured at home ; but he adds, as I found that every experiment must have the same permission, and as that could only be obtained through petition that took three or four months to get through, I gave them up in despair ; and if the manufacture was not shackled with the Excise restrictions, which are essential to prevent fraud, we should be enabled to ac complish the object required, and make a superior article to that of foreign manufacture.' " Mr. Fincham describes his having been prevented by the direct interference of the Excise from prose cuting his improvements, which consisted principally in making green or bottle glass of a quality far supe rior to any that had hitherto been produced in this country, such interference having taken place upon the ground that he produced an article so good that it could not be sufficiently distinguished from flint glass.' " The Commissioners of Inquiry justly observe, that in a national point of view, few things could be consi dered as more deserving of encouragement than such an application of science as that put in practice by Mr. Fincham, to the promotion of one of the most useful of native manufactures ; and which in this instance becomes of the more importance, from the fact of the green glass being so much better adapted to some purposes of high importance in the arts, connected with chemical operations and experiments, than flint glass, upon which acid operates in consequence of the oxide of lead which is used in its preparation. The consequence is, that our chemists are, for many pur poses, obliged to have recourse to vessels of green glass made in other countries,' and that in this instance, therefore, as in the case of the glass for telescopes, we are dependent upon foreign manufacture, although possessing within ourselves the means and resources of manufacturing the glass required of the best possible description.' " The prohibition which the practical effect of the regulations imposes on the manufacture of the beauti ful coloured glass called ruby, is clearly described by Mr. Bower, of the Huntslet Glass Works, near Leeds." A Bo NE BREAKER.—Mr. Elliott, who broke his bone's last year in attempting to go up in a balloon from New Orleans, proposes to break them over again for the gratification of the citizens of Charleston, having arrived in that ciiy with a splendid new balloon, which he calls " General Hamilton."—New York Paper.. SUSPECTED MURDER.—On removing t'ie soil, on Thursday, the 27th ult., from the , rock in the Ohl Here ford-road, near the town of Bromyard, the skeleton of a man was discovered about eighteen inches below the sur face. The skeleton was perfect, and covered over with a large flag stone, placed in a sla: - .ting.direction against the rock. It is supposed that the bones are the remains of a body deposited there some , twenty years ago. About that period there was a Welsh drover in Bromyard, wlo car ried with him a very large sum of money ; he sojourned in that town several days, frequenting the public-houses, and making foolish exhibitions of his money. One Saturday night he got in a state of disgusting intoxication, and was afterwards reeling about the streets at a late hour. The Welshman was never seen or heard of afterwards. That very night one or two persons heard loud cries of murder, which seemed to issue from a lodging-house in Sheep-street ; no particular attention was excited at the time, inasmuch as the cries were thought to come from a house inhabited by a man who often beat his wife in a most brutal manner. There is now little doubt that those cries were made by the Welsh drover, who was then being murdered, for the purpose of a safe robbery. The length of the skeleton corresponds as much as possible to the height of the drover, and no doubt of identity remains in the minds of those per sons who recollect his person and the circumstances of his disappearance, and have examined the skeleton. Tflis dis covery may - lead to a further discovery—that of the mur derer, who (if still living) may yet be brought to justice.— Hereford Times. . . A - private soldier, in the 85th regiment about nine months, has within the last few days confessed himself to kg, a convict under sentence of transportation for life, for housebreaking, but effected his escape from Chester Castle -in December, 1834. A reward of 501. was offered for his apprehension at the time ; but he contrived to elude the most vigilant search, although he has now voluntarily ac knowledged the whole. Measures will, of course, be taken to place him in charge of the civil power. The offender is not 20 years of age.—Limerick Paper. About seven o'clock in the evening of Wednesday week the town of Alford was again alarmed by the cry of Fire," from another fiendish act of incendiarism, which took place on the farm of Mr. Blades, at Saleby, the next parish, when one bean-slack, containing eight loads, was fired and totally consumed. There was not the least chance of saving any part, it burning so rapidly, from the brisk wind that blew at the time. In this case, as in all other.; here, the attempt to injure is frustrated, for Mr: Blades is fully insured in the Protector office.—Lincoln Gazette. Mr. Meyer relates that a mountain exists on the banks of the Danube, which, every year, moves from 60 to 80 yards. Six years ago a terrible noise Was heard in the night, and half of the mountain fell with a tremendous crash, and buried 16 houses, with their inhabitants. This detached part, consisting chiefly of fretstone in a state of efflorescence, could advance when its bed in the spring had been rendered slippery by the abundant rain anti melted 'snow. A FARMER SHOT BY A ROBBER.----01 Friday last, a most diaboliCal attempt was made upon the life of Mr. James Holland, a respectable farmer, residing at Mill bill Farm, Thaxted, and there is reason to fear that the in juries he has sustained will prove fatal. During the night in question, Mrs. Holland was disturbed by the barking of the yard dog, and, on looking out of the chamber window, she saw three men standing with their backs against a wall immediately opposite. She aroused Mr. Holland, who— having procured his gun, opened the window, upon which one of the three fired at him, and the contents of the gun entered his side, penetrating to the lungs.—Essex Herald. HORRIBLE ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—A very lengthened investigation took place on Tuesday evening, at eight o'clock, before Joseph Reed, Esq., a Magistrate of the county of Surrey, at his residence, Thornton Heath, into the circumstances of a brutal attack made upon a young woman, named Elizabeth Love, residing at Croydon, by a man named Robert Hudson, with whom she had lived. In consequence of the young woman not being able to bear the excitement of a public examination, the worthy Ma gistrate humanely consented to bear the case at his private residence. Shortly after eight o'clock, the priSoner, Robt. Hudson, was brought up in custody of Coleman, one of the Croydon Police, and evidence was adduced clearly proving that he stabbed her. A knife was produced. It appeared to be a new - knife, and very sharp. There was a quantity of blood upon it. The prisoner, in his defence, said he was very much hurt at the prosecutrix leaving hiM, but he had no intention to harm her. He must have been mad at the time. - He was fully committed for trial at the next as sizes for the county of Surrey. ( From the Journal des' Dcbats.) M. Stcnli, Second Secretary to the State of Berne, has just destroyed himself. Like Lord Castlereagh, he has killed himself by cutting his jugular artery with a penknife. In his bed-room had been found a card, with the following words written in German :—" The invention is not a new one." M. Stceli was thirty-three years of age. (From the &currier Fr•ancais ) It is said that Count de Pahlen, owing to the situation in which the Journal des Debats has placed him, has re commended to the Russians who are at Paris not to fre quent the drawing rooms, in order that they may not be reduced to perform a part which be thinks unsuited to them. He is the first to set them the example. By superior order, the departure of the Bonites, which was to sail from Toulon shortly, for the South Seas,- in order to convey thither the Consular agents appointed some weeks ago, has been delayed until the Government shall have received more positive information as to the state of the relations with the United States. In the course of last week a great number of insurances at all risks of sea and war, have been signed at Paris, either upon ships proceeding to the United States, or to other parts. The premium has experienced since the preceding week but a feeble increase. The same may be said of the Havre insurances. In London the premium differs but little from that of Paris. In general our trade seems to believe in the maintenance of peace with the United States, but willingly consents to pay a moderate premium for the sake of complete security. (From the Constitutionncl.) A letter from Lisbon of the 27th of November, received via Havre, states that the 4,000 men whom the Lisbon gar rison was to furnish to the auxiliary corps, destined for Spain, has successively left that capital to join the depot established in the province of Tras-os-Montes. The last battalion had left Lisbon on the 25th. The same letter adds, that immediately after the arrival of those 4,000 men at the depot, the remainder of the auxiliary corps (about 10,000 men) will cross the frontier. (From the Ron Sens.) For the last eight days M. de Talleyrand has been con fined to his apartment by indisposition, which increases with his age. Every evening there in a little comite in his room round his arm chair. It is said that the head of the State goes almost every evening by the Tuileries Gardens, and escorted only by a few officers, to see the old diplomatist, whose conversation is still young and lively. M. de Tal leyraud will shortly enter upon his 83d year. FRENCH CORN AVERAGES. The following arc the average prices of wheat in France, at the end of November in each year, during the under mentioned 17 years, from 1829 to 1835, the whole reduced into English measure and money : Per Hectolitre. Pcr Quarter. Per Hectolitre. Per Quarter. f. c. s. d. f. c. E. d. 1819... 15 4 equal to 34 5 1828... 22 25 51 8 1820... 19 60 43 10 1829... 21 97 50 4 1821... 15 28 35 0 1830... 22 49 51 6 1822... 15 71 35 11 1831... 22 52 51 7 1823... 15 58 35 8 1832... 17 96 41 2 1824... 14 74 33 9 1833... 14 95 34 3 1825... 15 79 36. 2 1834... 14 88 34 1 1826... 15 58 35 8 1835... 14 43 33 1 1827... 20 22 46 4 The average of the whole period is 17f. 60c. per hecto litre, which is equal to 40s. 3d. per quarter, and it will be perceived that the average of November of the present year is the lowest of the whole period. To compare the average prices of wheat in France with those of England and Wales, it is necessary to add 20 1 e:• cent. to the latter for difference in the quality of the wheat, and the difference in the mode of taking the averages ; and it thus appearing that the average price of wheat in Eng land and Wales for the six weeks, ending the 28th ult., is 365. 9d. per quarter ; this with the addition of 20 per cent. makes 445. Id., and the average price of wheat in France at the same period being 335. ld. per'quarter, it follows that wheat is 33 1-3 per cent. dearer in England than in France. BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS.
