LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, N answer to inquiries from various parts of the IL country, as to the propriety of dealers who have adopted the sale of our LIQUEUR GINGER BRANDY, retailing it at the rate of 20s. per gallon, we are of opinion that, considering the cost of carriage, and other expenses to which country dealers are sub ject, such charge is not unreasonable, especially in case of credit : and it is most gratifying to us to ascertain that many individuals, including several of the Faculty, who have experienced the carmi. native and anti-spasmodic effects of the GINGER BRANDY, pronounce it a cord , al of inestimable value, and deserving the highest recommendation. We continue to supply the Ginger Brandy to families, for cash in London, on the same terms as our IMPROVED BRITISH COGNAC, namely, led. by the imperial gallon, (for a single gallon or upwards), and in sealed pint and quart bottles, 2s. and 3s. 6d. each, bottle inclusive.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.--The ex traordinary patronage with which this favourite beverage has been honoured by the Nobility, the Medical Profession, and by all classes of the community, since its introduction in 1821), affords, •f itself, sufficient evidence of its unequalled merits. To this triumphant success must be attributed the fact, that each succeeding year has witnessed the birth and death of ‘omo new Brandy Establishment ; called into EP* by jealousy of the success of the Patent Brandy, and doomed to certain failure as a necessary lonsequence ; being totally unable to produce an article capable of sustaining a competition with it. The only Establishment of J. T. Betts and Co. is the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-bars, leading to St. John-street, where the Patent Brandy may be had either pale or coloured, in quantities not leas than two Gallons, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gal lon, for Cash on delivery. PER SONS POSSESSING MONEY in the FUNDS are referred to the Tables of the ROYAL UNION ANNUITY OFFICE, Established in 1824, by which it will be seen that by sinking one-fifth of their principal in the purchase of an Annuity, they may in many eases increase their in come one-third.

THE LATE MURDER IN NEWCASTLE.--It is a novel and remarkable feature in the history of the recent Savings' Bank Murder in this town—so far as that his tory has been hitherto developed —that the unprecedented anxiety and painful suspense and disquietude which uni versally exist in the public mind, arise as much from the position occupied by the accused, as from the frightful and furious destruction of the actual sufferer. From the labo rious investigations which have taken place, and the mass of evidence already adduced, only one fact, as regards Mr. Bolam's share in the transaction, is indisputable. That Mr. Bolam was an actor during the dreadful events connected with the murder of his colleague and assistant in the Bank is as certain as that night follows clay. But then comes the mysterious question, was he intended as a second victim, or was his the assassin's hand that did the deed ? This is the short but fearful issue now awaiting the decision of a so lemn appeal to a jury. If Mr. Bolam, now immured in a prison, on the evidence already elicited, be an innocent man, then is he the most deeply and irretrievably injured person ever ruined under the sanction of law. If, on the contrary, his hands are imbued in blood, then does the crime assume a character more awfully and inexplicably sanguinary than any ever committed ; and 11;s name will go down to posterity as the most diabolical villain that ever disgraced humanity. At present the weight of testimony for and against the accused seems pretty nearly balanced ; and, relying with confidence that justice will, in the forth coming trial, hold the scales with an even hand—and hoping that the evidence will be such as to clear up all impending doubts, we leave the issue to Him who alone knoweth the secrets of men's hearts. Pending the trial every possible in quiry continues to be vigorously prosecuted, and we proceed to state the only additional circumstance which has trans pired since our last. It has been stated, on the authority of a Contemporary, that Mr. Millie was in the habit of tak ing home coals from the bank to his own house. If so, it may be that the several pieces of coal found wrapped up in pa per in his pockets were placed there—not by the mur derer, to assist in consuming the body during the fire, but by the unfortunate man himself, for the purpose of being consumed at home. This, considering Mr. Millie's strait ened circumstances, at first appears a probable event ; but then it does seem unlikely that a man who bore an other wise irreproachabie character, would become dishonest for ' the sake of a few ounces of coal, more especially consider ino, the cheapness of that commodity in Newcastle. On the whole, every discovery tends to invest the murder in a cloud of deeper and more mysterious interest--Newcastle Journal. THE JUGGLERS AGAIN.—On Saturday after noon the gang of jugglers who sustained such signal dis comfiture in Conduit and Vigo-streets, flailing their endea vours fruitless to establish themselves at the west-end, went in quest of apartments further eastward, and observing that Mr. Barton, in Goswell-street road, had a first floor to let, one of them applied, and succeeded in accomplishing his object by representing himself as a Mr. Fector—who had just arrived from Birmingham, and he expected his wife in town in the morning. He gave a reference to Colonel West, in Great Portland -street, but, as it was late, Mr. Barton allowed him to sleep there, not doubt ing his plausible story. Sunday morning, before any of the family were stirring, the remainder of the gang suc ceeded in obtaining admission, but h av i ng b een observed by a neighb our , hi s s uspicion was excited on seeing the well-known drum, scenery, &e., and took the first oppor tunity to mention the circumstance to Mr. Barton, who, notwithstanding it was Sunday, hastened to great Portland street, but no such person as the Colonel was to be found ; on his return he went up and requested them to leave, which they positively refused to do, asserting that the lodg ings were taken, and threatened an action. Mr. Barton, no way deterred, instantly procured the assistance of four stout fellows and his servant, who, i n a s h ort t i me, a f ter a slight resistance, suceeded ejecting . th e i n t ru d ers , b un dli ng their trumpery out of the window into the road, to the no small amusement of a number of persons outside, who were with difficulty restrained from inflicting summary punish ment on them. Within these few days there has been an extraor dinary increase of water in the Serpentine river, which has raised it nearly four feet, by the sudden irruption of two springs on the north side of the river. It is but a short time since that, from the great deficiency of water, occa sioned by the construction of the new sewers in the Uxbridge-road, which previously filled the Serpentine, the Commissioners of Woods and Forests were about entering into an agreement with the Chelsea Water Company to supply the river, at the rate of 500/. per annum. This will not be necessary now. PRICE sd. THE REV. MR. STEPHENS.

Stu—Having seen a letter in your Paper of December 24, signed " Robt. Hartwell," giving an account of his proceed• ings in Dorsetshire, and of the meeting on Charlton Down, which is a very false one, I beg to give you a plain statement of the real facts, as far as my name is concerned, he having called it in question, (among others), with a challenge of con tradiction : Six of my men came to me the Monday week before the meeting on Charlton Down, and asked me to advance their wages to 103. a week. I told them that depended on circum stances ; for if they belonged to the Union that was now forming, I should not advance one penny—that my money I should never go to pay those demagogues who were travel ling the country to pocket their pence, to poison the minds of the labourers, and to set them against their masters, who, in my opinion, were their real friends. I told them also that I did not think they knew what their wages were ; for on look ing over my labour-book I found their earnings, for the last 52 weeks, were, on an average, the lowest 9s. 3d., and the highest 9s. 61d. in money, with half a bushel of the best wheat per week for 3s. 6d. by which my loss was Is. per week, their potatoe land, with furze for fuel, and the carriage home gratis, they only paying for the cutting of the furze, so that in truth, these payments and privileges were higher wages than they now required of me. I told them what was my inten tion to have offered them, viz., an advance of 2d. per quarter for thrashing, and the same in proportion for all piece work, which would be an advance in their wages of from 12s. to Is. 6d. per week; if any had joined the Union, they were to leave it ; that if the price of wheat advanced to Is. per bushed, I should not charge them more than 7s. They con sulted together for five minutes, and replied that they would accept my offer, and went to work perfectly satisfied. In the course of the week, I found that some of them had actually joined the Union, and that a strike for advance of wages was to take place at the next harvest. On the Saturday following, when I paid them their wages, I mentioned what I had beard, which they could not deny ; and I drew out a written agree ment to this effect, that those who had joined the Union were to withdraw from it, and if they wished to leave my service, they ' should give me a month's notice, and that I would do the same when I wanted to discharge them ; that if they would not agree to this, they should not work for me ; they refused it, and on the Monday following eight did not come to work. On the day after the meeting, and the following Monday, they came and offered themselves. I told them they knew my terms, and they returned home again. The Wednesday fol lowing I received a letter from the Rev. T. Tyrwhitt, the Vicar of the Parish, by the hands of the forem,4l of the men, stating that he had seen the men, who were sorry for what they had done, and would gladly accept my terms if I would again employ them. I answered his letter, saying that if they came to me on the Monday following, and acceded to the terms I should propose, I had no objection to employ them. They came, accepted the terms I offered, and were sorry they had left me. I set them to work, with the exception of one young man, who, being impertinent, I told him to go about his busi ness. No men have behaved better than they have up to this time. The price of labour, like corn, is marketable, according to its value, and wages vary accordingly. I employ twenty men and boys, and have offered my best men 12s. per week in in money, which they have refused, saying they would rather continue the wages I have always been giving _viz., 7s. Gd. per week, and 21s. extra for the summer, in money, their wheat for their •grist at ss. per bushel, barley to fat their pig at 3s. per bushel, a cottage and garder, pota toe land sufficient to grow potatoes for the use of their families, but not to sell, ten cwt. of coal each, ned their furze for fuel gratis, all which if they paid for, would make their wages full 13s. per week, and they never lose a day's work on account of weather, &c. Every labourer has, besides, full one hogshead of good ale or cider in the course of the year : my next eight men earn more than 105. per week, on an average ; and the rest full Bs. Now with regard to letting out land to the poor : the Rev. J. Michel (who is the principal land owner in the following parishes which are adjoining each other, Whitchurcb, Mil bourn, Kingston, Clenstone, and Houghton,) lets out land to the poor in each parish for gardens only, in quantities from ten to forty perches to each family, at 2d. per perch, free from all rates and taxes ; and I do not know one farmer who receives rent for potatoe land from his labourer—they have it gratis. With regard to clothing, H. C. C ompton, E sq., 'M.P., my landlord, established a penny club for clothing the poor ten years ago in this parish, which now numbers 140 members, who pay one penny per week each, and a subscription is made by the landowners, vicar, and farmers in the parish, to double the amount paid by the poor; which is all laid out in useful clothing, and distributed among them on the first day in every year. There are many such clubs in this district, and Mr. Abbott, a most respectable draper of the town - of Blandford, serves most of them, and he informs me that he has received from them 8001., on an ave rage, for some years past—this year upwards of 1,000/. In this parish alone 40/. were given away last year to the poor in coals and faggots only. As to the meeting on Charlton Down, which was close to the western turnpike road, being the Guar dian for Whitchurch, I attended the Board of Guardians at Blandford on that day, and on my return, I found Mr. Hart well addressing the people from a waggon, and I can positively assert that the whole number, including men, women, and children, there assembled did not amount to 1,500, instead of 6,000, as he describes ; there were not 50 men on horseback, nor were there ever 200 hands held up for any measure he proposed ; the others were led thither by the novelty of the meeting. After Mr. Hartwell had finished, a Mr. Phillips rose, who described himself as a working man from Bath, and addressed the people ; his language was so disgusting and in decent, that most of the respectable people left the Down. On that day fortnight some of the men applied to the Bland ford Board of Guardians for work, or relief; they were in formed that there was work for them at Bs. per week, and piece-work as might be agreed on. They said their masters would not employ them unless they signed an agreement for a month's notice each way, and to leave the Union ; which they would not do. They did not object to the wages. There was not a word said about 7s. per week, nor bondsmen required, as Mr. H. asserts. They were told by the Board, that if work were offered them, and they refused it, the Board could not interfere. Some of them went back and joined their masters again, and others have refused to do so. Out of a population of 920, there arc two men in this parish out of work, because they will not accept-the terms proposed by the farmers. I have now, In a homely manner, st;ted to you the real facts, which I can verify on oath ; and if I have been too tedious in the detail, I must request you to excuse the imperfections of my letter, for I never before addressed an Editor ; nor should I on this occasion, had Mr. H. confined himself to the truth. This is my first, and it shall be the last letter I mean to trouble you with ; and I trust that, in justice to myself and the other parties concerned, you will have the kindness to give it an early insertion, for the information of the public. I remain, Sir, yours respectfully, HENRY FOOKES, A Renting Farmer, and a Guardian of the Blandford Union. SCOTLAND. GLASGOW HAS TAKEN THE FIELD. An encouraging meeting was held last night in the Black Bull, James Dunlop, Esq., Clyde, in the Chair, of which a full report shall appear in our next. It was convened by cir culars addressed to gentlemen in each of nine districts into which the city was partitioned, recommended by a large num ber of individuals in their respective districts. It was the tina nimouse sense of the meeting that it should constitute itself into an Anti-Corn-law Association for immediate practical efforts. Mr. Alexander Johnston was nominated Chairman ; Messrs. William Craig, Mr. J. Mitchell, and James Dunlop (Clyde), Vice-Chairmen. A numerous Committee, with power to add to their numbers, was appointed, but left to organise itself, and directed to prepare a constitutiun, and submit to a general meeting of members without delay. A minimum rate of entry money was fixed. The Chairman and Committee were also directed to prepare, without delay, a pe tition to the House of Commons, declaring the destructive ef fects of the Corn-laws, craving leave to lead evidence against them at the bar of the House, and praying for their total re peal ; to procure signatures to this petition ; to obtain sub scriptions to a guarantee fund to meet the expenses that must be incurred if the prayer be gran t e d ; an d w h en suff i c i ently advanced to intimate what they had done to the various Cham bers of Commerce, Free Trade Associations, and Anti-Corn law Associations, craving their co-operation. One hundred and fifty pounds were subscribed to . the general fund of the Association before the meeting separated. This looks like be ing in earnest. Let the Corn-law men look to it : He is coming 1 Who is coming ? Bailie Nicol Jarvie's coming 1 Ware the " het poker !"._...Glasgow Argus. At the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, a reeom mendation to the Directors to petition against the Corn-laws, brought forward by Mr. Walter Buchanan, was adopted without one dissentient voice. We do not anticipate much active support of free trade in corn from the Directors; but it stands on re cord, that not one avowed defender of the Corn-laws was found in the Chamber,—lbid. MEETING AT THE LONDON UNIVERS TY— RESIGNATION OF DR. ELLIOTSON. Yesterday a meeting of the Members of the London Uni versity Medical Society, composed of late and present stu dents, was held in the Medical Theatre of the University, to take into consideration the circumstances which had caused the resignation of Dr. Elliotson, as Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine—the consequent suspension of the Medical Lectures—and the course which it might be advis able for the students to adopt in the present state of their class. At one o'clock, Mr. M'Kenzie was called to the Chair, when there were not less than 200 students present. The CHAIRMAN having explained the objects of the meeting and pointed out their importance, pledged himself to conduct the proceedings with perfect impartiality, and called upon his fellow-students to support in maintaining order and in obtain ing for every gentleman, who might offer his opinions, a pa tient and impartial hearing. Mr. CROFT, who was received with applause, then rose and said that the objects for which the present meeting had been called, had been already fully stated by the gentleman whom the wishes of his assembled fellow-students bad placed in the chair. Before he proceeded to propose any resolution for their consideration, be must beg their patience for a few minutes whilst he attempted to turn their attention to the merits and character of the valuable instructor, of whom recent circumstances were likely to deprive them.—(Applause.) Dr. Elliotson's character--whether he was regarded as a man ofscienee, a gentleman, or, he trusted he might be permitted to say, as a friend--(Cheers)—would alike bear the strictest scrutiny.—( Great applause.) In the light of a scientific man, who, ho would boldly ask, had done more towards sim plifying the practice of medicine, and establishing it upon sound and rational bases ?—( Applause.) Dr. Elliotson had perhaps exerted more influence upon the science, than any other man of the present age.—(Cheers.) Regarding him as lecturer—let them consider that when he commenced his pro fessional duties in that institution, his class consisted of only ninety-seven pupils, whereas it numbered at present nearly two hundred.—( Great applause.) To his exertions, they were mainly indebted, for the establishment of the University College Hospital; where those rules of practice which he had been accustomed to teach in that theatre were so beautifully illustrated, and their value confirmed.—( Cheers.) His instructions in the school were in every word important. (Hear, hear.) Everysentence contained some just, practical, information. No vague theories were mingled with his doc trines, nor was anything omitted which the present state of medical knowledge could supply.—( Hear, hear.) If any point required explanation, that explanation was always sure to be supplied in the kindest and most gentlemanly manner ; and, if illness required his professional attendance for his pupils themselves, or for their relations, whom could they find more kind, more liberal, or more attentive than Dr. Elliot son?—( Hear, hear.) It was not for the present meeting to discuss the causes which had led to his resignation, or the cor rectness of certain views entertained by him, as those views never formed part of the Professor's lectures.--( Mingled dis approbation and applause.) With the sentiments which he (Mr. Croft) believed he entertained, in common with his fel low-students around him, be begged leave to propose the fol lowing resolution :—" That the students of medicine, of Uni versity College, duly appreciating the high professional ac quirements of Dr. Elliotson, and the inestimable value of his services here, do most sincerely regret the circumstances which necessarily led to his resignation as Professor of the principles and practice of medicine in the College, and as physician to the Hospital." Mr. ROBINSON rose to second the resolution. He need not dwell upon the importance of any matter which could have led to the resignation of Dr. Elliotson; nor was there one of his pupils who would not declare his resignation to be one of the greatest ca lamities that could befal the University and the Hospital at tached to it.—( Applause. ) They would all agree that, in one department at least, the interests both of the pupils and of the Institution, were seriously damaged by the removal of one of the strongest pillars and brightest ornaments of the College—nay, of the whole medical profession.—( Hear, hear.) Every pupil who had heard Dr. Elliotson in the chair of that theatre, or had followed him through the sick wards of the hospital, must coincide in that opinion ; and he (Mr. R.), had never attended the Professor five minutes without deriving important instruction from his remarks and his practice. He ( Mr. R.) had no intimacy with Dr. Elliotson, or any other professor, but as a pupil ; but lie admired him as an upright man—as:a profound, reflecting, and talented physician, full ofjudgment and goodness —( Applause)—gifted with strong powers for the minutest observation and inquiry —coupled with a facility for communicating instruction—for laying down the principles of practice, in the plainest, simplest, and most lucid manner. Were they to be deprived of his services be cause he stood forth, in spite of all prejudice—(Disapproba tion and applause)—the champion of what appeared to him a new science ?—( Renewed disapprobation and great applause.) There was no pretence for saying that the Institution had been injured by the course which Dr. E., in his regard for truth and science, bad thought it his duty to pursue. On the con trary, the number of pupils had greatly increased since his appointment,—(Hear.) Ile (Mr. R.) would not discuss the merits of Animal Magnetism, but rather would advise all who took part in the proceedings of the day to abstain from the discussion. He contended, however, that when Dr. E. re ceived the resolutions of the Council, ordering the dismissal of one of his patients from the hospital, and forbidding the con tinuance of a particular course of practice, which he as senior physician was pursuing, had no alternative but to resign.— (Cries of " No, no," and applause.) Would it be at all con sistent for any man whose whole soul was bent upon fully in vestigating any part of science, and who was anxious to avail himself of any remedy that might present itself for the benefit of suffering humanity, should allow his mind to be so shackled in its efforts for the public good ?—( Applause.) He (Mr. R. ) conscientiously thought that it wes not ; and therefore D. E. had no other alternative but to resign. —(Applause and some disapprobation.) A GENTLEMAN whose name we did not learn, in opposing the resolution (as we understood), was proceeding to enter upon a discussion of the subject of Animal Magnetism, when The CHAIRMAN said that the subject could not be then en tertained, except in so far as it bore upon the matters before the meeting, namely, the resignation of Dr. Elliotson, and the Resolutions of the Council, which had led thereto. The GENTLEMAN said that it had long been known to every one present that nine-tenths of the Council disapproved of the practices adopted in the Hospital, in respect to Mesmerism; and it was evident from the manner in which the Resolutions of the Council had been communicated to Dr. Elliotson, that his resignation was not " necessarily compelled" by them._ (Hisses and great confusion.) The Council did not wish to accept of the Professor's resignation, provided that he would give up the practice of Animal Magnetism in the hospital.— ( Hisses.) Mr. JEFFERSON said that in point of fact the resignation had not yet been accepted ; nor could it be until to-morrow (this day), when the Council would meet for the first time since the resignation had been sent in. After a desultory conversation, the resolution was carried. Mr. WARREN then said he rose with great pleasure to move a second resolution. He agreed with every thing which had been said by his friends Mr. Croft and Mr. Robinson, respect ing the character and attainments of Dr. Elliotson. But ho wished to mention a few facts, which might not be known to some of his junior fellow-students. To Dr. Elliotson be longed the merit of having established the use of the stetho. scope. When he first adopted it, he was treated by his then colleagues, in the Hospital of St. Thomas, with ridicule, and by others with silent contempt.--( Hear, hear.) For years after he had published his work upon Prussic acid, few would employ it; and be was condemned for his report on Quinine, which was the first treatise upon the subject that was published in this country. Nay, he had been set down as a fool, for having administered large doses of carbonate of iron in chorea, when small ones failed. He displayed the use of sulphate of copper in chronic diarrhoea; and when he made the discovery that glanders occurred in the human subject, he was smiled at for his credulity.—(Laughter and applause.) Besides, he had undergone a long course of sneers and attacks for his discoveries of the powers of creosote.—( Hear.) In fact, there was not a single medicine upon which he had published a report that bad not been the occasion of ridicule in the first instance ; but yet they had all been subsequently established, and adopted in general practice.—( Great applause.) Knowing, there fore, as all present knew, the circumstances which had led to that Professor's resignation, would they quietly sit down, and coolly put up with the election of another member of the profession to supersede his place as their instructor?—(Great applause, mingled with laughter and expressions of disappro bation.) They could not suppose that lie had resigned willingly, although it had been objected to in the first resolu tion, that it contained the words that his resignation was com pelled. He might still have been lecturing, if he had com plied with the commands of the Council. But if he had done so he must have disavowed all faith in the truth of his own doc trines.—( Cheers.) The recalling of Dr. Elliotson depended wholly on the pupils themselves. He hoped—he believed that, at their request, the Council would withdraw their re solutions.—( Laughter and cheers.) It had been reported on the preceding day in that room, that Dr. Elliotson would return if the Council would withdraw their resolutipns, which ordered the expulsion of' one of his patients, without consulting him, and forbad the practice of Mesmerism in the hospital.

Mr. W. concluded by reading the following resolution :—" That the students of the Uni versity College do most earnestly and strenuously, though re spectfully, entreat the Council to adopt such measures as shall ensure the return of our esteemed Professor." Mr. MoLINES seconded the resolution. Although he had heard that objections had been made to the present meeting of the students, he could not believe that they would not be allowed to express their opinions upon a matter in which their feelings and interests were so deeply concerned.—( Hear, hear.) At a previous meeting a gentlemanino office had stood up amongst them, an d h a d grave l y i n f orme d th em t h at he disapproved of thei r i n t ent i on to h o ld a m e etin g f or t h e present purpose.--(A laugh.) He (Mr. M.) hoped, that the Council would take into consideration the feeling which had been manifested there that day. It had been said that the students would suffer but little inconvenience from the postponement of the lectures. But was it not an inconvenience, much greater than that of the delay, that their course should, be commenced by one lecturer and concluded by another ( Hear.) Were they, when they had commenced under a Professor in whom they had perfect confidence, to put up with any one who might be foisted upon them.—(Cheers.) He called upon them, as they valued the interests of the Institution, their own advancement in the knowledge of their chosen pro-
