WATERPROOF AND WARM WINTER CLOTHING.
WALTER BERDOE, TAILOR, No. 69,
CORNHILL, 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 escape 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 end.
THE CODRINGTON DREADNOUGHTS area 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 now 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. First-rate , Clothing of every description made to order.

rIOIVINIERCIAL TREATY with FRANCE.
V—i—This question, which has, at various times since the
peace, occupied the attention of the Governments of the two
countries, is now again made a leading subject of discussion.
On the part of this country, the admission into France of
various articles of British manufacture, is demanded. France,
on the other hand, asks for large reductions of duties on some
of her leading products, among which Brandy stands most pro-
minent. The various manufacturing and mercantile bodies
likely to he affected by this measure will, doubtless, fight their
own battles. How far the introduction of a foreign Spirit, at
a reduced rate of duty, may affect the landed, West India, or
general distillery interests of this country, is a question upon
which a great difference of opinion may fairly be supposed to
exist. But, looking to Brandy, with reference to the specific
effect of the contemplated arrangements upon the welfare of
those engaged in its manufacture in England, J. T. BETTS
and CO., whose product ion constitutes so large a proportion of
the whole quantity made—and whose interests, it has been sup,
posed, would suffer materially, were such a measure carried into
effect—have no apprehension as to the result. On the con-
trary, they fearlessly challenge their Foreign neighbours to
produce an article of equal purity with their PATENT
BRANDY; or one possessed of the same wholesome pro-
perties. This article assimilates as closely to French Brandy
as it. is safe to make it ; as perfect similarity could only be
attained by the introduction of ingredients to imi'ate certain
impurities existent in the Foreign article; from which the
Patent Brandy is entirely exempt ; and to which circumstances,
among other excellencies, it owes the celebrity it has acquired
J. T Betts and Co. are perfectly satisfied of the correctness
of these facts, from the repeated assurances given to them b),
numerous consumers of their Spirit, that, were Foreign Brandy
reduced to the same price, they would still give the preference
to the Patent Brandy.
The Patentees, as Distillers, cannot send out less than Two
Gallons, which may be obtained, either pale or coloured, for
Cash on delivery, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon,
of the highest legal strength, at the Distillery, No. 7, Smith-
field-bars, leading to St. John-street,—their only Estalt-
'ishment.
