LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IBEG leave to apprise you that, at the sugges tion and encouragement of many influential friends, I venture to offer myself as a CANDIDATE for the Honour of a SEAT in the DIRECTION of your AFFAIRS. I have been Employed for upwards of Fifteen Years in highly responsible Situations at Calcutta, which afforded me ample means of becoming acquainted with the general nature and interests of our possessions in India. The confidence placed in me by the public was evinced by my being intrusted with the sole management of very large and important concerns conse quent on the widely extended difficulties which occurred in Calcutta between six and seven years ago, and for the manner in which I cenducted those duties, I trust I may, with confi dence, refer to the leading Mercantile Establishments in this City which have any transactions in India. desi Having returned to England at an early period of life, I am rous of continuing my connection with that country, where so many members of my family have held, and continue to hold hith and i m p orta nt s ituations. 1 shall lose no time in paying my respects to you individually, and in earnestly soliciting your kind aid in enabling nee to ob• twin this great object of my ambition. I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your very obedient servant, ELLIOT MACNAGHTEN. 21, Bryanston-square, Nov. 30, 1839. LONDON►, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1839. N o. 14.742. PRICE 5(1.

Sra,—The celebrity which the Reverend Theo bald Mathew has obtained by reason of the reforma tion in the morals of hia countrymen now in progress under his auspices, will render some account of himself and his labours not uninteresting to the English public. Mr. Mathew is a member of the Capuchin Order of Friars, of which he is the head in Ireland. He is said to be related to the Landaff family. He was educated chiefly in Ireland. but received, we believe, his ordina tion at Rome. That section of his order with which he is more immediataly connected is loc Jed :in Cork, where he has lived for many years, distinguished for his exernpllry Play, and strictly clerical morals and habits. He has been engaged for nearly the last ten: years in the erection of a chapel, at vast expense which, when completed, will be one of the finest strue• . tures of its kind in Ireland. His gentlemanly and un pretending manners render him a favourite with all classes, but by the poor he is beloved. In his person he is below the middle size, full, but not corpulent. His countenance, which in boyhood must have been hand some, is mild in its expression, and marked by that general character which painters call repose. He is now about forty years of age, or perhaps a few years over that number. Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols. post Bvo., ; R S. GORE'S " PREFERMENT ;" A NOVEL.

WALTER BERDOE, TAILOR, No. 69, CORNI4ILL, was the first who introduced the NEW VENTILATING WATERPROOF, which renders garments (when properly made up) completely impervious to rain, without offering any obstruction to the et cape of perspira tion. Its complete success is now fully established, as is proved by the most convincing testimonials, its extensive adoption, and the numerous attempts subsequently made by others to ac complish the same er.d. THE CODRINGTON DREADNOUGHTS are a New, and much approved Waterproof Garment, gentlemanly, port able, and convenient, are now in general use, and the best proof of their efficiency is the greatly increasing demand for them, through the recommendation of those who have long tried them. W. Berdoe has new ready a large stock of all the most ap proved materials for Warm Winter Clothing, and is convinced that the process of the British Water-proofing Company is the best.

S manhood approaches, the human form, coun tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, undergo a revolution.

These expectations were, t o somc consider a bl e extent, founded upon the recent a d v i ce s from America, and particularly those respecting the cotton crop, which have put an end to the fears of a speculative advance, and greatly checked the disposition to work short time, which had previously existed.—man cheater Guardian. _ _ A VERY LITTLE DAD.—There is a certain gentleman within ten miles of Lanark, father of a large family, who is so very short and dwarfish th a t to ena bl e him to look out at his window he actually rcquires to stand upon his own shoulders. SIR,— Two years have now elapsed since the destruction of this edifice by fire ; we have beard of the meetings of the Gresham Committee to in quire into the cause of the fire—to apply to Go vernment for an Act of Parliament to extend the building, and impose an unjust tax upon coals to the amount of 150,0001.—advertisements to archi tects to send in plans for inspection, but not one of the large number sent in is deemed worthy of adoption. But in the meanwhile no voice has been raised in behalf of the suffering tenantry who, so sud denly ejected from the places they for so many years had occupied, and in which their connection had been formed, were dispersed in all directions, in many, nay most cases, to their great discomfort, to the almost total breaking up of their connection, and the stoppage of their casual custom, and who, paying most exorbitant rents, and under every in convenience, see that time wasted in which a new building might have been nearly raised. The state of this class of persons is truly pitiable, and de mands the prompt exertions of the Gresham Com mittee to procure their speedy restoration. One of them has sunk into a state of perfect stupor; an other, for many years a stanch supporter of Reform, to his loss in purse and business, has through this sad visitation been reduced to the Gazette for want of a little timely aid ; a third died of a broken heart, in hopeless despair of seeing a new building erected ; and others are trembling on the brink of ruin. Surely this distressing state of things ought to rouse some public spirited member of the Greshaiii Committee to urge 0-em to action, and not to allow the erection of an edifice of such paramount public importance to be thus delayed and trifled with, more particularly when they reflect on the number there are whose future existence depends upon it. A CITIZEN. TOTE OF THANKS TO THE LATE LORD MAYOR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-I concur most fully with you in the very able and excellent remarks in your Journal of Fri day last, upon the proceedings of the Court of Common Council with regard to the vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor. One gentleman finds fault because his Lordship inquired as to the cause of the dilatory proceedings of a Committee of the Court, " such an inquiry not having beer. made for twenty-one years" ! ! Another—Mr. Rogeis—sees no reason why anything more than a common vote of thanks should be given, " he having done no thing more than his duty." I know not who this Mr. Rogers is, or where he resides, which obliges me to request a corner in your Journal, for the pur pose of suggesting to this Common Councillor the propriety of inserting advertisements in The news papers for contracts to furnish the Corporation with votes of thanks ready framed and glazed—one for those who do " nothing more than their duty," and another fur those who do "not do their duty." Lord Mayors will then know what they have to look for ward to, and as I understand these votes have, for many years past cost the City a sum of sixty gui neas each, it will tend to save the Corporation funds, and prevent a similar loss of time in discussing a subject which appears to have consumed so large a portion .on the last Court day. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, NO COMMON COUNCILMAN. Dec. 4, 1839. NORTH DERBY.—The Derbyshire Chronicle, gives the following general-summary of the state of the registered votes :—Clear gain to Liberals in 1837 and 1838 over and above all Tory gain in the same period, 54 ; clear gain to Liberals in 1839, over and above all Tory gain in the same year, 389 ; total gain to Liberal; since last election, 443. Electors who have not voted, and whose politics are unknown to the revising agents, 161 (no account is taken of these 161 electors, either as loss or gain to the Liberal interest ; but as most of them are in the High Peak, where the registra tion has been greatly in favour of the Liberals, it is but fair to infer that the larger portion of them are of Li beral politics.) Majority for Cavendish at the last election 833, ditto for Evans, 493. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.—." Love" and the Beggars' Opera continue nightly to win to this theatre audiences full almost to crowding. It is but justice to the former to add, that this occurs, for the most part, before the second price. The opera has lost no thing of its attractions by Miss Rainforth's appearance in the character of Polly. This is not only the most suc cessful performance of that young lady, but deserves to be considered one of the best personations of that fa vourite character produced on our stage since the loss of Miss Stephens. ADMIRALTY SURVEY OF THE AYRSHIRE COAST.—Some of our readers may not be aware that a survey of this coast, under the superintendence of Captain Robinson, R.N., who last year completed a similar survey of the Solway, has been going on during the summer, aided by a Government steamer, stationed here for the purpose. The labours of the party are now brought to a close for the season, and, notwithstand ing the unfavourable weather experienced throughout the greater part of the time, considerable progress has been made, the coast-line having been completed from the Mull of Galloway to the northward of Ayr, with plans, on an enlarged scale, of the various harbours, including Loch Ryan. The soundings have been ac complished from the Bay of Luce to the mouth of the Clyde, with the whole of the " Basin of the Clyde." We, therefore (on the completion of the coast-line), may look for the publication of an accurate chart of this frequented coast, for which we have long sought in vain. The velocity and direction of the tides, depth, and nature of the bottom, have been paid particular attention to ; the result of which, we understand, will enable Captain Robinson to form some law to assist the navigator in knowing his position on entering the Firth, when no lights are visible. The facility rendered by the Board of Admiralty, in providing a steam-boat for Captain Robinson's operations, has tended greatly to wards the fulfilment of this desirable object.—Caledo nian Mercury. SOMETHING NEW.—At a meeting held this week in Paisley, of a number of individuals belonging to tho Total Abstinence Society, it was resolved to form a Friendly Society for persons who abstain from all intoxicating liquors, Total Abstinence to be the sine qua non of membership, and a breach of said pledges to involve the loss of privileges. Similar societies have been established in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Greenock, and are succeeding very well. FIRE IN 03croaD-sTßEET.—Tuesday evening, about eight o'clock, a fire broke out in the extensive upholstery and cabinet manufactory of Jackson and Graham, in Peny's-place, Oxford-street. Most fortu nately it was discovered almost immediately, but not before part of the valuable stock was much injured and a portion of it destroyed. By great exertions on the part of a number of workmen who were just about leaving the premises, the fire was speedily got under. Messrs. Jackson and Graham are insured in the Sun, Phcenix, and Globe offices. The fire was confined to the premises in the rear. THUNDER.—M. Arago, from some researches he has made, believes that it never thunders in the open sea, or in islands beyond 75 deg. of latitude north, and he thinks the same holds good on continents. An attempt has been made to question this by M. Baer, before the Petersburg Academy of Sciences ; but he does not seem to have succeeded, as the single instance brought forwerd, in a six years and a quarter's resi dence at Spitzberg, is not well substantiated. —Railway Magazine. FIRE I f N THE CUSTOM-HOUSE, DUSLIN%— Monday last a fire broke out in the Custom-house, but was fortunaiely discovered and extinguished in time sufScient to prevent the destruction of property to, per haps, a still greater amount than even that upon the occasion of the burning of the Custom-house stores some years back. From the trivial nature of t h e damage the matter did not obtain publicity at the time, but circumstances connected with the case havin g trans pired, led to the supposition that the fire was the act of an incendiary. In consequence, an inquiry was held in the Custom-house on Saturday, and a number of work men attached to the establishment were brought for ward and exanined. The matter elicited on the gves• tigation led to the arrest of two individuals on the same evening. Their names are, James Ryan, formerly storekeeper in the Custom-house, and discharged from the situation in July last ; the other, John Reilly, a workman about the establishment. The prisoners un derwent an examination, after which they were re manded for further examination.—Freeenan's Journal. ROBBERIES IN TIIE LAW COURTS.—One of the attorneys attending the Sheriff's Court on Tuesday in Red Lion-square was robbed of his hat, and a "shock ing had one" was left in its place. This system of plunder is carried to a considerable extent in the Courts during Term time. Several years ago some respectable citizens of Cork, chiefly Quakers and Dissenters, established aTemperance Society, but upon a population almost exclusively Catholic, the influence of these well-meaning individuals was very trifling, and their success was, as a matter of course, no better than their influence. Many in habitants of the city never heard of s the project at all, and of those who did most scoffed at it, and of the few who enrolled themselves members of the society many ; fell back on their intemperate habits, so that its influence. was only partial, and not generally observable. It was reserved for the Rev. Gentleman, whose name stands at the bead of this article, to establish a Temperance Society, which should embrace, not alone a portion of the inhabitants of one city, but the entire province of Munster, and which at th's moment is rapidly extend ing itself through the northern provinces likewise. It is scarcely necessary to state that the society is almost entirely composed of the labouring classes. The extra ordinary fidelity with which they keep their pledge is accounted for by the all mastering influence which a pious ecclesiastic possesses •ver the poorer classes in Ireland. They apprehend that the vio lation of their promise would be visited by some imme diate and awful calamity from heaven, such as madness or death. Let it ❑ot Ise imagined, however, that this belief, or apprehension, is the result of any delusion practised on them at their inauguration. Nothing more is done than to read the pledge, which is simply in these words :—" I do promise to abstain for the future from intoxicating liquors." These they repeat after the reader, and they are then presented with a medal and a card, and iiismissed with a blessing. The cards are lithographed, with devices, illustrative of the fruits of temperance in domestic comfort, and of intemperance in poverty, rags, and disease. Tire society, which was only established in April last year, consists at present of seventy thousand members. These, be it remembered, are not persons who have been hitherto habitually temperate, or only occasionally given to excess, but habitual drunkards. The great body of the members are la bourers and domestic servants. Thus the benefit arising from their reformation to employers and mastcrs is very great, setting aside the still more important consideration of the blessings accruing to their own health, characters, and homes. In the City of Lime- rick the improvement in the morals of the people is so great that the Magistrates state that while the number of persons convicted of drunkenness before them was formerly on several oc e , is i o n s twenty daily, the convic tions for the same offence at present -scarcely average one in the week, and this in a city comprising a popula tion of nearly eighty thousand. It may serve to illus trate the character of the author of this great raormation that, when lately being about to visit this city, on which he had conferred so much benefit, it was proposed to invite him to a public entertainment, and receive him with a pub lic procession, he earnestly intreated a clerical friend t• dissuade the people from their purpose, and spare him the embarrassment which such exhibitions place him unler. The population of Ireland is eight millions, and if we compute the women at half, and the number of adult males in the other four millions at half, we shall have an adult male population of two millions. Now, sup posing the number of habitual drunkards in these two millions to be one in ten, we shall have for the number of habitual drunkards two hundred thousand, whereof seventy thousand, or dose upon half, have been already fully and finally reclaimed. If in the short rpace of a year and a half so much good has been accomplished, what may we not hope for under Divine Providence in a few years more A FRIEND OF TEMPERANCE. THE PERROTINE. The new patent machine for block-printing, called the Perrotine, after its inventor, M. Perrot, of Rouen, is now extensively used on the Continent, and is likely, from the efficiency and accuracy with which it can be worked, to attract the attention of the numerous esta blishments here engaged in the important branch of commerce to which it is adapted. This novel machine is contributed by Messrs. Joseph and John Lockett, of • this town, and manufactured by them, they having re cently taken out a patent for it. It is calculated for working one, two, or three colours, either separately or at once (but it can be adapted to print a greater num ber, if required), with blocks cut in the ordinary man ner. Dr. Ure, in his " Dictionary of Arts, Manu factures," &c., says, under the article " calico printing," —" The Perrotine is a machine for executing block printing by mechanical power ; and is performs as much work, it is said, as twenty -expert hands. I have seen its operation in many factories in France and Belgium in a very satisfactory manner ; but, I believe, there are none of them as yet in this country. Three wo•-,den blocks, from two and a half to three fist long, according to the breadth of the cloth, and from two to five inches broad, faced with pear-tree wood, engraved in relief, are mounted in a powerful cast-iron frame-mork, with their planes at right angles to each other, so that each of them may be brought to bear in succession on the face, top, and hack of a square prism of iron, covered with cloth, and fitted to revolve upon an axis between the said blocks. The calico passes between the prism and the engraved blocks, and receives -suceesJivc impressions from them, as it is successively drawn through by a windin: cylinder. The blocks are pressed against the calico through the agency of springs, which imitate the eht , ,fic pressure of the workman's hand. Each block receives a coat of coloured paste from a woollen surface, smeared, after every con tact, with a mechanical brush. One man, with one or two children for superintending the colour giving surfaces, can turn off about thirty pieces English per day, in three colours, which is the work of fuliy twenty men and twenty children in block-printing by I hand." The Perrotine, we are informed, is more par= titularly adapted to the printing of mousselines de laine, merinocs, stuffs, silks, and woollens. Its chief mcr t tare rapidity of production, correctness of figure, and brilliancy of colour. For the printing of fabrics of that class, the bl:ck is essential in the majority of styles, as an engraved copper roller will not saturate the cloth with colour in the way that a block will, and the result is comparatively a sickly colour. Very beautiful and delicate patterns can be worked by this machine, which cannot be worked by hand-block printing. A very finely cut block, if worked by hand, will leave the numerous small interstices in the design choked with colour, when furnished by the tearing sieve with colour of the proper consistency to saturate the cloth ; and if the colour be thicker, so as not thus to interfere with the beauty of the figure, then the cloth is not fully furnished, and the colours are poor. A beautiful contrivance in the Perrotine obriates this d:ffi cultY. The colour is taken up by the finely wrought block in a state of consistence that will not choke up any of the finest work on its surface ; this is applied to the cloth ; a second supply of the colour is taken up by the same block, and struck with mathe matical accuracy on the identical impression ; thus the cloth receives two coats of colour. the figures are per fect, and the colours brilliant. It would be exce.d ine:ly difficult for a workman to fit his block by hind with sufficient accuracy on this plan: The fabric is • kept in its correct position, while r eceivin g the pattern by a very ingenious roller, furnished wit h sharp steel pins, set at distances of about an inch and a half.

UNJUST WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. --At a meeting of the Magistrates at the Shirehall on Friday, the informations laid by Mr. Stoneham, the inspector of weights for the Chelmsford district, vrere proceeded with, when no fewer than fourteen persons were found guilty of using deficient weights and measures, and were punished by the infliction of various penalties. REPAYING A CIVILITY.--011 his death-bed a distinguished vocalist requested that no one might be invited to his funeral ; " because," sobbed out the dying man, " it is a. civility I can never repay." THE. LADIES.—We admire the ladies because of their beautp--respect them because of their virtue— adore them because of their intelligence—and lova them because we can't help it. Your letters same duly to Land. My people, myself; and many other friends are delighted with your replies.: W e prize them highly, especially as they are - Written hith your own hand. They are to us interesting me mentos of one whom, although we have not seen in the flesh, we venerate and love and hope to meet in heaven. We shall preserv e them .carefully, and- theyswill be handed down with some other valued documents, that our children's children may look upon the handwriting' of Clarkson. Believing that no information will be inereziatifying.to you than to, hear that the. hY)jects vf your solicitude and labours have, during the first year of freedom, and up to the present time, acted i - vnrthily of the boon they have received, I shall endeavour to give 3ou some information respecting them,abipecially those residing in the district in which it . is my happiness to labour. The negro population of this district may be estimated at 10,000, of which tplaards of 3,000 attend every Sabbath-day at myatVe; stations—Brown's Town and Bethany ; about . 2,000 more attend other places of worship. If 2 ; 500 be allowed for - those detained at their hemeaaby sickness and other causes, but one qu arte t are left who are not under regular religious instruction. On the coming of freedom I had no fear respecting those connected with Christian congregations. I felt confident that they at. least would act as became Christian. freemen—nor have I been disappointed. Respecting the other portion of the population I had fears. I thought there might be idleness, drunken ness, and petty thefts, but at the end of the first year of freedom what is the result? No one person in the whole district has been convicted of, or even charged with any crinzinal act I There haVe, it is true, been a few cases of misdemeanour, but of so trifling a nature as to be punished only by light fines. There have also been acts of immorality comm i tted, of which the law cannot take cognizance, but even these have been corn paritively few. Rum-drinking and Sabbath-breaking are, I rejoice to say, fast giving way before the light of the Gospel, which now has free course. During the last sixteen months I alone have married upwards of 250 couples, while the numbers married by other ministers must have been considerable. Our congregations are also greatly increased and 'increasing. In our Sabbath Schools we have yet nearly 1,000 children and 'adults under instruction. 1 havOseen privileged to put into circulation many hundreds, I may say thousands, of copies of the New Testament and Palms to those of the negroes who have learned to read ; also more than 1,000 Hymn-bsoks, and nearly 500 Bibles have been sold. So great is the demand for copies that Mr. Wheeler, the agent of the British and Foreign Bible Society, received a few weeks since names for more than 500 Bibles, a large portion of the quarto size. The liberality to the cause of God is also worthy of notice. Since the coming of freedom, not yet 14 months, my congregation, composed entirely. of the la bouring class, have contributed the large sum of 2,0001. towards enlarging the chapel here, and building new chapels at Bethany and Clarkson Villa. So anxious are they to send the Gospel, which they have found to be precious to their own souls, to Africa, the land of their fathers, that they have also subserised 1701. towards the interesting . objset, and not a few are them selves desirous of going to instruct :heir kindred to the best of their ability in that knowledge " which ruaketla wise unto salvation." Believe not, my dear Sir, the cry that the negro is idle and 111-dispo.d. Tee charge is false. It is scarcely possible fur a people to be more industrious. Few have left the properties to which they formerly be longed when they have been fairly dealt with ; and even when they have been oppressed by tbe exaction of exorbitant rents, by the destruction of their provisioa grounds, and the shooting of their pigs, they have borne it with exemplary patience. There may, it is true, be a diminution of field -labour, but it does not follow that there is more idleness. Tire fact is, that the most in dustrious and clever men are unwilling that their wives should work in the gang in eerie fields, and that their children should be deprived of the advantages of edu cation. They therefore send their younger children to school, and keep their wives at home to attend to their dorra.stic du:.ies, a coarse which cannot but be commended by every humane man. Notwithstanding this diminu. tion of the number of hands, on many sugar estates as much work ,has been done, and as mach sugar made, as during slavery. It is a fact which speaks volumes, that so far from the people being so idle as to refuse to do the necessary work, there is scarcely an estate or property but where there has been more labour done than money forthcoming to pay for it ; and if lets sugar be made, withdrawing the women and young children, the result fully compensates for it in the increased comfort, morality, and intelligence of the people. Do not suppose from this that the women and children are unwilling to labour. The contrary is the fact, and at the present time tbe gather ing in the pimento and coffee crops, as in an English harvest, all who can do anything ..re at work. The cottages are almost deserted during the day time. Alen, women, and children, are gathering in the crops, and while their hands are busily employed, they may be heard singing the songs of Zion. Tree villages ate being formed in different parts of the island. At the request of the people I have lately purchased two pro perties, one ofl2o acres, and the other of 624 acres, which are being laid out in building and provision lots. On e we call " Sturge Town." The other as before men tioned, Clarkson Villa. They are nearly twenty miles apart, both beautifully situate and healthy. The latter wit contain nearly 100 cottages, with three to four hun dred acres cf provision ground, a school, and be fore long a chapel. It will, I trust, be the happy. Ihome of 100 free, religious, and loyal negro families. Mr. James Stark, of Edinburgh, has been ap pointed Queen's Advocate General for Ceylon. Mr. James, the poptilar Novelist, has just pub lished a New Historical Tale, entited " Henry of Guise, or the States of Blois," of which the Monthly Review speaks in the following high terns of praise : " Henry of Guise' will stand the test in a competi tion with the noblest of his historical romances . It absorbs the reader from the moment he opens the first volume to the close of the concluding chapter. The story is full of action, bustle, and exciting interest."

EXTENSION OF THE CIRCUIT COURTS OF JUSTICIARY TO RENFREWSHIRR.—Our readers will recollect that Mr. Wallace, of Kelly, the indefatigable and patriotic member for Greenock, moved and obtained a committee on this subject at the last general meeting of the county, held at Renfrew, in October fast. The commtttee met at Paisley on Tuesday. They have not yet made up a final report, but a unanimous ap proval has been expressed, not only of the important facts brought out by Mr. Wallace's resolutions, namely, that ignorance, idleness, and destitution, as the fruitful causes of crime, ought to be diminished by every post& ble means; and education, employment, and comforts fostered as the best preventatives of crime, but that the present practice of imprisonment before conviction should as far as possible be prevented, and in all cases of crime, that trial and punishment (where it is to follow by conviction) ought to follow as . speedily as possible ,after commitment. One universa sentiment seems also to prevail, that in order to accom plish these desirable objects, houses of refuge and pene teotiaries should be , more encouraged, than the old mode of dreary imprisonment, or transportation, or the extreme penalty of the law. It seems further to be universally admitted, that more frequent circuits by the Lords of Justiciary, and the extension of these to such crowded communities as Reufrewshire, would contribute vastly to the prevention and diminution of crime, as well as to lead to the reformation of criminal offenders. We most ardently hope and trust that Mr. Wallace and he Committee who act along with him will not rel ax in their exertions until a change so much to be de sired, nay, so obviously a desideratum to the d ue ad ministration of criminal justice in this populous district of Scotland, shall be accomplished.—GlasgowChronick. THEATRICAL PIECES IN PARlS.—During the month of November, at the twenty-five theatres opened nightly, forty-two new pieces hare been given, thus subdivided :—One comedy, one comic opera, nine ruelo-drames, twenty-eight vaudevilles, burlettas, and comedy-vaudevilles, and three pantomimes. Made moiselle Rachel made her re-appearance after a long in disposition at the theatre Francais on Friday night, in the tragedy of Cinna. She was most enthusiastically received, and greeted by an immense audience. DARING AND EXTENSIVE BURGLARY. — Oa Tuesday, about a quarter to six o'clock, as Henry Brent!, a porter in the service of Messrs. P. Watson and Co., silk-mercers, Nos. 55 and 56, Ludgate-hill, was 'bout to ring the bell for admission into his master premises, he found the shop door ajar, and was about to give the alarm to the policeman on duty, when two men made their appearance at the door, heavily laden with rolls of silk, and perceiving him, one of them immedi ately threw his luggage at him (which knocked him down), and made good his escape. The other al k 0 endeavoured to effect his escape, but the policeman coming up, he was captured and conveyed to the station house, where he gave his name John Smith. He was subsequently conveyed to Guildhall Police-office, in custody of police Constable Tuiley, 204, and the pre ; perty stolcn, which is valued at upwards of fifty pounds was produced. Police -sergeant Waller stated that the prisoner was a w ell-known thief, aed that if he were remanded, he had no doubt that the whole of the par ties connected with the robbery would be captured. The prisoner was accordingly remanded. The entrance into Mr. Watson's premises was effected by means of ske leton keys. pATENT BRANDY VERSUS COGNAC. —lf any evidence were wanting, that the old prejudices in favour of French Brandy over the English Spirit are last wear ing away, and that thepublicare discrialinating and judging for themselves as to the reseective merits of the two articles, such evidence will be found in the simple fact that, whilst BETT'S PATENT BRANDY has exper i enced a sale, within th e present year, exceeding, by nearly 50 per cent., t h at of any corre spending preceding period , there has been a considerable falling off in the consumption of Foreign Brandy. If the comparison be made with the Brandy establishments of this Country, it will be found that, after all their lofty pre tensions to public support, they have dwindled into comparative insignificance ; the entire trade of the largest and most pow erful of these establishments not . having amounted to the mere increase in J. T. Betts and Co.'s sales within the same space of in time ; a necessary cons e q uence of their total i nability to produce an article with the slightest pretension s t o approach it quality.
