Each succeeding year proves, more extensively than its predecessor, the advantage of using the PATENT BRANDY, diluted with water, as a substitute for Beer or other fermentable liquors--a recommendation strongly urged by the principal members of the faculty ; and never more im portant than at the present season, when the natural indulgence in the use of fruit, renders the choice of a safe and wholesome beverage an act of great importance. The Certificates of its purity given by many eminent Chemists after analyzation, have been frequently submitted to the public since its introduction in l8:?9 ; and from its established reputation, and general adop tion by all ranks and classes, the time cannot be far distant when French Brandy will be repudiated by the public gene rally, as it already is, by those acquainted with the sterling me rits of the Patent Brandy. if further proof of the extreme wholesome properties of this Spirit were required, J. T. BETTS and Co. need only refer to the Public Hospitals, Civil and Military, for a confirmation of the fact ; amongst numerous others, they need but name Guy's, the Westminster, and the Grenadier Guards in London; and the Manchester and Bristol Infirmaries in the country. With a view, however, to dis abuse the public mind, and at once, and for ever, to remove every remaining vestige of prejudice against Brandy manu factured in this country, the Patentees venture to give the fol lowing : EXTRACT from a LETTER of the SURGEON-MAJOR of the GRENADIER GUARDS HOSPITAL, dated the 11th of December, 1839. " The two Samples of your Patent Brandy I had an oppor tunity of laying before the Board of Officers which sat at the Regimental Hospital last Saturday.

T. enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation at a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature gra ve, in consequence of s ome disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth muck more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often eoncoaled practicts so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack anv of his young cha r g es, what the real cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature ef those habits, to w hich youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence,: No. 7, Frith - stre et, Soho, from Ten till Three, and \ Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as reinnte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupa tion in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the "usual Consulta tion Fee of 1/.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on. N.B. Seven doors from Soho-square. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION. MESSRS. SLOAN and CO., Members of the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE, REGENT-STREET, and 28, IRONMONGER-LANE, CHEAPSIDE, may be consulted from Eight &Clock in the Morning until Ten at Night, on every variety and stage of Syphilis, with that delicacy and secresy they have hitherto ob served. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility, Gonorrhoea, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva cot, are reated upon those unerring principles which have in sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of nublic pa tronage for nearly thirty years in London, and which it will be their future exertion to maintain. Letters, containing an enclosure, will be answered by return and patients, however distant, will be cerresponded with until recovered. LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 140, PUBLICATIONS.

A sailor in a boat observing the occurrence pushed to the spot, and fortunately caught hold of him as he was about to sink a second time, and, with the assistance of a police constable, removed him to the police station house. On recovering, he expressed much dissatisfaction at being prevented carrying his object into effect, and be came so obstinate that it was found necessary to bind him down upon a stretcher, and carry him on it to his house in Isabella-place, Stepney. It is supposed the cause of the rash act was some irregularity in the seizure, which would render him liable to expensive legal proceedings. DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT COINS.—On Sa turday, as some men were searching the river Thames for coal, opposite the City Gas Company's works, Blackfriars, after the tide had gone down, they discovered one or two ancient coins, which attracted the attention of the coal porters in the neighbourhood, who have since, when the tide would admit of it, been digging under the surface of the shore, where, it seems, there was formerly a landing place. They have found several gold and silver pieces of the reign of Edward VI., and about 200 silver coins of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, bearing date 1564 A large parcel of pins, which are of gold, but of the same make as the common pin, have also been discovered. The coins are in very excellent preservation, and were found about two feet below the surface of the soil. The pins, which are very neatly manufactured, are probably of nearly the same date as the coins with which they were found. After the rapid popularity it has acquired, and the uniform approval of the press, it is unnecessary to call attention to the advertisement of " Mr. Wade's British History." It now ranks among the most useful standard works of the country, and is invaluable for reference on questions of constitutional history, legislation, commerce, currency, prices, statistics, internal improvement, and so cial changes. To professional and commercial mon, pub lic libraries, literary and scientific institutions; in short to all who feel an interest in the rise, power, and development of the British nation, it is indispensable. BODY FOUND. —Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, as some watermen were cleaning their boats at the bottom of the stairs, opposite Ginger's Hotel, Westrnin ster.bridge, they observed the body of a woman in the water, close to the shore, where it had been apparently left by the ebb tide. It was immediately brought on shore, and conveyed to St. Margaret's Workhouse. It was the body of a middle-aged female, who wore a coloured straw bonnet, and a coloured cotton gown, with slippers and white stockings. The body did not appear to have been very long in the water• PRICES OP CANAL,DOCK,ASSUIt- ANCE COMPANY SHARES &c, &c. Egc. LONDON, PR DAY, AUG. 28.

Yesterday the grand ceremony of presenting the free dom of the City to Prince Albert, took place in the Guildhall, which was very elegantly fitted up, and ar ranged for the occasion, by Mr. Herring, the upholsterer to the Corporation. The whole of the western portion of the spacious building, was raised upon an inclined plane, with seats for upwards of 800 persons, behind which were elevated benches for the masters and boys of the City of London School. In the eastern portion was erected a platform (slightly raised above the mass of the spectators) on which the Prince was to be tendered the oath of a free man, and on this platform were placed seats for the Aldermen, the Chairman of the Joint Committee, and a few ladies of rank. Benches covered with crimson cloth were arranged round the platform, in such abund ance, that, upon a moderate calculation, upwards of 2,000 individuals were accommodated in the hall during the performance of the ceremony, although many ladies had declined to accept the invitation from the fear of being obliged to stand for the greater portion of the time. Over the ancient statue of Queen Elizabeth, were suspended the arms of Prince Allont, splendidly emblazoned, and round the hall appeared the banners of the several Companies. Mr. Harper, the celebrated performer upon the trumpet, occupied the gallery over the steps leading up to the Council Chamber, with his band, and delighted the immense company with several airs during the long period of expectation, from half past two till five o'clock. At five o'clock the hall-keeper announced to the Lord Mayor, who was in the Court of Aldermen, that the Prince had arrived, and his Lordship, attended by the Sheriffs, the Chamberlain, the City Solicitor, the Comptroller, Sergeant ArabinoMr. Frith, of the Town Clerk's office, the Swordbearer, &c., &c., and accom panied by a number of the Aldermen, Mr. King, the Chairman of the Joint Committee, Mr. Evans, Mr. Peacock, Mr. Moore, Mr. Anderton, Mr. R. Johnson, Mr. Potter, "and several others of the Court of Com mon Council, immediately procee!ed to the gate to re ceive his Royal Highness, who entered the Hall amidst great cheering and waving of handkerchiefs. The Prince was conducted to the Council Chamber, when the Lord Mayor introduced his Royal Highness to the Lady Mayoress and the ladies of several of the Aldermen. His Lordship then stated to his Royal Highness that the Chamber Court in which they stood was the first public Court in the kingdom in which the Royal marriage was congratulated. The Prince, who appeared to be quite delighted with his reception, and to be particularly well pleased with the kindness and affability of the Lord Mayor, received the information with a smile, and pointed to the picture of the Queen, which is appended from the ceiling to the right of the chair, in an expressive manner. From the Council Chamber the Prince walked with the Lard Mayor, preceded by the City Officers, and followed by the Sheriffs and Aldermen to the platform in the hall, the band playing, " God save the Queen," and the company applauding and waving handkerchiefs. His Royal Highness stood at the right of the Lord Mayor, and the proceeding commenced. Mr. Frith, the Town Clerk, after having read the minutes of the last Court in accordance with the usual form, Sir James Shaw, the City Chamberlain read the following re solution : " Marshall Mayor, " Court of Common Council, February 27, 1840. " Resolved unanimously,—That the freedom of this City be presented to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Consort of her Majesty, as a testimony of affection and profound respect entertained by this Court, for his person and distinguished character. " WOODTHORPE." Mr. John Sewell, Assistant Clerk of the Chamber lain, read the following list of vouchers, who are called Compurgatores, for the eligibility of the Prince, and their joint declaration upon oath : " Sir Claudius Stephen Hunter, Bart. and Aid., Com- purgator. Sir M. Wood, Bart. and All, Compurgator. W. Taylor Copeland, Esq., Ald., Compurgator. . _ John Rin g , Esq., Compurgator. Walter Peacock, Esq., Compurgator. Jeremiah Evans, Esq.. Compurgator. We declare upon the oath we took at the time of our admission to the freedom of the City, that Prince Albert is of good name and fame, that he does not desire the freedom of this City whereby to defraud the Queen or this City of any of their just rights, customs, or advantages, but that he will pay his scot and bear his lot, and so we all say."—(A laugh.) The CHAMBERLAIN then proposed the freeman's oath, which we published a few days ago, to the Prince, who was evidently moved at that part of it where he pledged himself to keep the peace towards her Ma jesty, and not to meditate any harm towards her. Some of the ladies who stood in the immediate vici nity, having accompanied their husbands to the scene, put rather a serious face upon the matter, and agreed amongst themselves that the oath contained a very ne cessary caution, and was applicable to the husbands of other ladies. The CHAMBERLAIN then addressed his Royal High ness in the following words : " Prince Albert, Sir,—ln recording the vote of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council, confer ring upon your Royal Highness the freedom of this ancient city, it has been my pleasing duty to inscribe your name on the roll of her citizens, in company with Kings and Princes, Statesmen and heroes, patriots and philosophers, who, at various periods of our history, have received at the hands of the Corporation of Lon don this distinguishing mark of their honour and regard. " In your Royal Highness we recognise an illustrious descendant of the Saxon race, to whom this country is so largely indebted for those lights of civil and religious freedom, which, modified and improved by time and ex perience, have secured to this highly favoured land a state of individual happiness and national prosperity .o which no other country has yet attained. " That the auspicious alliance of your Royal High with our beloved Queen may consolidate and ex those blessings through the peaceful and prospe rous reign of her Majesty, and your mutual posterity, is the ardent hope, and will form the constant prayer of every loyal subject of the British Crown."—(Great ap plause followed this address.) Prince ALBERT, who was evidently delighted with the whole proceeding, read the following answer, very dis tinctly and audibly : " It is with the greatest pleasure that I meet you upon this occasion, and offer you my warmest thanks for the honour which has been conferred upon me by the presentation of the freedom of the City of London. " The wealth and intelligence of this vast City have raised it to the highest eminence amongst the cities of the world, and it must therefore ever be esteemed a great distinction to be numbered amongst the members of your ancient Corporation. " I shall always remember with pride and satisfaction the day on which I became your fellow-citizen, and it is especially gratifying to me, as marking your loyalty and affection to the Queen."—(Loud cheers.) His Royal Highness, the ceremony having ended with the general recognition of the Prince as a fellow citizen by long-continued and ardent applause—then proceeded to examine the penmanship of Mr. Walter Paton, the ornamental penman to the Corporation and the Royal Academy, who wrote the resolution of the Court of Common Council on vellum with exquisite art. His Royal Highness expressed his admiration of the piece, and requested that it might be transmitted as soon as possible to her Majesty. At six o'clock his Royal Highness, amidst the cheers of the company, left the Guildhall ; he ac companied the Lord Mayor in his Lordship's state carriage to the Mansion-house, where he partook of refreshment, and expressed the great delight he felt at the manner and circumstances of his reception. His Royal Highness expressed his regret that he was unable to avail himself of the pleasure of dining with his Lordship, and took h i s leave, declaring that he he rejoiced in shaking his worthy fellow-citizen by hand, The ball was cleared soon after six coc : The greatest credi t is due to the Chairman and other members of the Committee for the exertions they made to give genera l accommodation. ness ENTERTAIN MANSION HOUSE UP T THE OCCA SION OF THE ENTERTAINME NT PRESENTATIONCITI,TOPROINF C T E HE AL F B R E E R E T. DOM OF THE The Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress gave a splendid entertai nment at the Mansion-Hous e , ou the occ asion of the presentation of the freedom to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, but his Royal Highness, as we have stated in, our account of the proceedings at t h e Guildhall, was unable to accept the invitation, in conseque nce of circumstances over whi c h h e h a d no control. We observed amongst the company his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Bloomfield, Sir John M'Donald, Adjutant-General, Lady Fitzroy So merset, Sir John Pellay, Bart., Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England, Mr. Bailey, Chairman of the East India Company, Mr. G. Lyall, Deputy-Chairman of the East India Company, Colonel Innes, Colouel Wal ter, Sir Felix Booth, several of the Aldermen, the Sheriffs, the Sheriffs Elect, Mr. Cobbett, Mr. Huth, Mr. C..;. Huth, the Rev. Dr. Croly, Mr. C. G. Jen kins, Mr. J. L. Seager, Mr. John Leach, Sir John Lubbock, Sir William and Lady Poland, and a great number of the members of the Corporation. The health of her Majesty having been drunk with great enthusiasm, The LORD MAYOR rose to propose the he' , V ."''' al e new freeman.—(lmmense cheerin g .) It . ..s ,s ~ been highly gratifying to the City of Lo t'''* 0. 5 ,. ' from time to time amongst its mem b er ''- Oki ,VOtt e military and naval heroes, foreign and dom - tPritta.V.:4l,.,_ and philanthropists, who had distinguishe -fitii4elvOsi . ,, ' ' 'll'f'7,l by eminent public services or their priva rates; r-s-'-',-, ' c ' but it had been reserved to the citizens of tlajtgAai- g: witness the admission to the freedom of that ancieitifS - AtaA7 and loyal city, of a Prince, whose exat,ted station, as the Consort of their beloved Sovereign, pieced him in a situation peculiarly pre-eminent ; and it was, therefore, with feelings of the greatest sincerity, that he begged to propose the health of their new citizen, his Royal Highness Prince Albert.—(Loud cheering.) He felt no ordinary degree of pride in expressing a hope that, in conjunction with her Most Gracious Majesty, hi s Royal Highnessrmight long continue to enjoy the esteem and regard of a free and generous people.—(lmmense applause.) His Lordship concluded by expressing great regret that his Royal Highness was prevented by circumstances from prolonging his visit to the City that day, but his Royal Highness had expressed the highest gratification at the proceedings of the day, and would avail himself of an early opportunity of testif)ing his sense of the kindness of his fellow-citizens on another occasion.—(Cheers.) The Duke of CAMBRIDGE returned thanks for the enthusiasm with which the toast was received, and ex pressed his conviction that Prince Albert wad be deeply impressed with the kindness of his fellow-citi zens. 'rho Illustrious Prince was not `present at the banquet, and his absence was a disappointment to many, but he (the Duke of Cambridge) could account for it, and he thought that every one of the company would admit the validity of the excuse. In fact, Prince Albert had lately married a very fine girl, and they were some how or other very fond of each other's society.—(Laughter and immense cheering.) He per ceived that the Prince was readily excused. Indeed there was not a lady or gentleman present who would not at once give him credit for the preference. The next toast was the ";Queen Dowager:'—(Enthu siastically received.) The LORD MAYOR then gave the " Duke of Cam bridge and the rest of the Royal Family." His Royal. HIGHNESS returned thanks, and pro posed the health of the Lady Mayoress. Several other toasts were drank, and great con viility prevailed. The dinner, which was given in Terry's best style, consisted of every delicacy that money could procure. The turtle-soup and vension even exceeded the expec tations created by the Lord Mayor's promise to the Corporation, that he would astonish even the members of the Court of Gominoii Council. REPEAL OF THE UNION. MR. O'CONNELL. - One of the most numerous meetings ever assembled within the walls of the theatre (Liverpool) was held on Thursday night. A few minutes before seven, Mr. G. SMYTHE came forward, and said that Mr. O'Connell had arrived half an hour before, and was then addressing fifteen thousand of the people in the front of the theatre ; it was also a question whether the meeting would not be adjourned to Clayton-square. — (Cries of " No, no.") A. few minutes afterwards, however, Mr. O'Connell made his appearance on the platform, amidst the most tremendous applause, waving of hats by the men, and of handkerchiefs by the women. On the motion of Mr. G. Smythe, Mr. G. Sherlock was called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said ho supposed they were all aware for what purpose the meeting had been convened, and requested that every attention would be paid to their worthy frien d Daniel O'Connell. Mr. G. SMYTHE, in proposing the first resolution, said, he would not detain them long, because he perceived that every moment of their time which he occupied was a moment of " hope deferred, which maketh the heart sick." He concluded by moving— " That this meeting is fully impressed with the belief, arising from the experience of the last forty years, that the Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ire land has been most ruinous to the general interests and welfare of the Irish people ; and that, judging from the experience of the past, and the gloomy prospects of the future, we are thoroughly convinced that the only rt medy for Ireland's many and enormous grievances, poli tical, religious, and commercial, is a repeal of the Legis lative Union ; and we do, therefore, pledge ourselves to aid and assist, by every peaceable and constitutional means in our power, the Repeaters of Ireland in their struggles to obtain a domestic Legislature." Mr. Taos. M‘GRADE seconded the resolution, which was carried by acclamation. Mr. FITZPATRICK moved the following resolution : " That while we seek for Ireland the restoration of her Parliament, we, nevertheless, pledge ourselves to labour strenuously with all Reformers of Great Britain, and of Liverpool in particular, in procuring an extension of Reform, and the passing of such measures as may best promote the happiness of tae people and consequently secure the stability of the throne, and glory and strength of this great empire." p Mr. MORGAN seconded the motion, which was una nimously carried. Dr. M'KERROW then proposed the third resolution. It was as follows " That we seize with delight the opportunity afforded us by the presence of our great leader, to express our unabated confidence in him ; and while we, during his whole public career, have had occasion at all times to admire his great services and powerful exer tion in behalf of his country, still at no former period have we had reason to feel so much delighted in the expression of our thanks as at the present, when his ex traordinary efforts and wonderful labours are not only producing surprising and increased admiration amongst his friends, but creating in the minds of his political opponents the utmost astonishment." This resolution was also carried by acclamation. Mr. O'CoNNELL then addressed the meeting, and wag left speaking when the Liverpool Mercury, from which we take the account, went to press. We quote one passage of Mr. O'Connell's address. After alluding to the success and exertions of Ireland at the date of her momentary independence, he said—" We 3 are menaced now again : we are threatened with war ; France is arming—France is armed ; England, for the first time in history, does not arm as soon as an enemy arms. John Bull was never squared at before that he did not immediately square away in return—(Laugh ter) —if it was for nothing else but to keep himself in ex ercise. France has 500,000 infantry and cavalry ; Eng land has not added a man to her forces ; she is beseeching prayin ,, , and intreating ; and Lord Lyndhurst has in sulteflreland, and Lord Stanley has endeavoured to crush Ireland.—(Groans.) By that applause after his name he seems a great favourite here.—(Laughter.) At such a moment as this—the heart of Ireland chilled, her arm palsied—ay, the right arm of Britain palsied at such a moment as this, Ireland will never violate the law. She will acquiesce in every Act of Parliament that compels any of her people to arm themselves in hor defence ; but what I want to get for Eng land is not acquiescence or mere submission to law ; I want to get the proud and high heart of Ireland, her spirit animated, and the arm of Ire land uplifted ; and France and Spain and Russia and Prussia may then attack England if they please. Understand me, therefore, and let the honest p:-..0p1e of England understand me. I want no severance of the connection ; I want to make it heart binding, and to unite them together by mutual interest and respeci. —(Loud cheers.) That is what I am struggling for. In the present form of connection, I find nothing but. insult and outrage. The Times in London, and M'Neile in Liverpool.—( Hisses.) Every blasphemous bigot who can use the name of the Deity, to proclaim his Satanic hate to his fellow Christians. I want to prevent the operations of those persons by legislative authority ; I want that Ireland should have a Parlia ment, that would give her an interest to support the British connection ; I want to make the connection a connection of interest, of allegiance, of duty, and of a community of blessings and advantages ; that is my 6object.'-(Cheers.)
