CA UTION.

This important discovery, like every other of sterling
value, has produced its counterfeits. Numerous imitations,
alike wretched in composition, and deleterious in effect,
are daily foisted upon the public by the assurance of such
nondescript compounds being equal, if not superior, to
the Patent Brandy. Theorists and Speculators, ignorant
of the first principles of Distillation, are constantly being
announced as Brandy Distillers. Fine Samples are exhi•
bited, by which the novice and unsuspecting are entrapped ;
and not unfrequently have purchasers been misled, and
given their orders to Clerks or Agents of other Houses,
insidiously representing themselves as being connected with
the French Brandy Distillery." J. T. lismrs and Co.
therefore deem it requisite thus to caution the Trade, that
they may be on their guard against similar impositions, and
to state that their only Establishment is at No. 7, Smith •
field-bars, leading to St. John-street.
N.B. As some of the imitations alluded to are nothing
more than Leeward Island Ilum,:deteriorated by attempted
rectification, and coloured to assimilate Brandy, while
others are strongly impregnated with the flavour of medi-
cated Potatoe Whiskey, which are immediately discove-
rable on mixing, J. T. Barrs and Co. beg to add, that
they do not use either of the above articles in the manu-
facture of their Brandy, which never appears more to ad-
vantage than when diluted with hot water.

CONTRADICTION Or TETE RAPID STEAM
TnAvituano.—Within the last few days a rumour has
been very generally circulated that Mr. STIPIMNSON had
travelled along the railway from Liverpool to this town,
in a new engine, in thirty-two minutes, being at the rate
of nearly sixty miles en hour ! There is, however; not
the slightest foundation for this report, Mr. &eclair:nu
having set off for Newcastle the day before this extraor-
tlinary feat was said to have been perfarmed. We under-
stand that the whole of the engines at present belonging to
the Company are engaged in the conveyance of passengers
along the railway ; and that the principal object of Mr.
STIPIIINSON'S journey to Newcastle is to superintend the
construction of a number of new engines, to be used,'when
completed, in the conveyance of goods.—Aranchester
Courier.

ANI/CDOTE OF Sin E. PELLEW, NOW LORD
EXUOUTIf.—At Plymouth, several years ago, this gallant
direr was sitting alone at dinner, when his servant an-
trounced to him that an Indiaman had struck Upon the
beach, and was in imminent danger of going to pieces.
Sir Enwauo hastened to the shore, and found the
iotelli-
genee correct, and the surf running so high that no boat
clued to venture on board the yawl. Sir Eowann ad-
dressed the crowd upon the beach, and asked if any of
them had heart enough to swim off with him to the ship.
A young man stepped forward to answer the challenge ;
and two lines having been procured, Sir Enwino and
the stranger each took one in hand and gained the yew!,
and after safely landing all on board, were the last to re-
turn on shore. On stepping upon. land, the gallant A.ti-
mina, addressing his comrade in danger, exclaimed, a Gm
me your band; you're a tine fellow,—who are you?..
must sail with me in future." The young man replied.
OW he was the mate of a collier, and that be should he-
sitate to quit a situation to comfortable for the chance of
donhtful promotion. Sir Euwa RD overcame his scruple";
