BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.
CAUTION.

J. T. BETTS and Co., for the protection of the Public and
themselves, deem it expedient to state, that their Only Establish-
ment for the Patent Brandy is the Distillery, No. 7, isnithfie.l4
Bars, leading to it. John-street.
Price 18s. Per Gallen.

Established in 1821), nnder the sanction of many eminen
Chemists, by whom it was analysed, and declared to be a more pure
and wholesome spirit than the finest French Brandies.

BRETT'S BRANDIES, whether in reference
to health or to economy, are really worthy of general
adoption, and of a place in every house. Por general purpose
their IMPROVED BRITISH COGNAC is decidedly preferable
to the ordinary productions of France ; and their LIQUEUR
GINGER NRANDY, in itself an exquisite Stomachic Cordial, is
allowed to be the most efficacious remedy for spasms ever dis-
covered. For the accommodation of every class of purchasers
these Brandies are supplied in sealed pint and quart bottles, 2s. and
3s. 6d. each, bottle inclusive, as well as ISs. by the single im-
perial gallon, or upwards.
A SAMPLE HAMPER of genuine Spirits, containing two
full-sized bottles of Cream Gin, two of old pale Jamaica Rum, two
of the Improved Brandy, with two pints of the Ginger Liqueur
(the eight bottles and hamper inclusive) will be forwarded to any
part of the country, one receipt of One Guinea, for which •
Post Office Money order may be procured at the cost of sixpence,

SIGHT AND HEARING.
TESTIMONIALS on the Messrs. S. and B.
SOLOMONS' Newly Invented SPECTACLE LENSES
and VOICE CONDUCTOR for Deaf Persons.
From James Blundell, Esq., M.D.
"I have now tried for some time the Messrs. Solomon? newly
invented Spectacle Lenses, and have experienced much benefit ;
they are far preferable to my vision than any other lens ; the relief
is very great, in particular by candle light, and in course of use for
a length of time the clearness of the transparency brings every ob-
ject very distinct; they can be fully appreciated only by thew who,
like myself, may stand in need of them.
" JAMES BLUNDELL, M.D.
" No. 1, Great George- street, Westminster."
We, the undersigned, have been making use of the Messrs. So-
lomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses; the comfort they afford
to defective vision gives them the decided preference to every other
kind of lens, we agree in every point of view in the above state-
ment—John Hooper, Esq., Surgeon, 29, Newingtonplace, Kenning-
ton ; Thos. Daldy, Esq., Surgeon, 33, New Broad-street ; Thomas
J. Pettigrew, Esq., F.R. S., Saville-roar; Geo. G. Sigmond,
Esq., M.D., 24, Dover-street; Robert Noble, Esq., Surgeon, 36,
Albemarle-street; W. Jones, Esq., Surgeon to the Infirmary for
Females, 15, Lower Brook-street, Grosvenor-square s William
English, Esq., Surgeon, Denmark-hill; Thomas Griffiths, Esq.,
Surgeon, Hammersmith; H. Colborn, Esq., M.D., 28, Harley-
ford-place, Kennington.
In placing these Testimonials before the public, the Messrs.
Solomons feel desirous to state that their Voice Conductor, for deaf
persons, is so small it fits into the cavity of the ear, not the least
perceptible, and the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard
with distinctness. These important new inventions are patronise
by their Majesties the King and Queen of Hanover, and their Royal
Highnesses the Princesses Augusta and Sophia, her serene liigh-
ness the Princess Esterhazy, the Princesses Mary and Rosa, and
nis Grace the Duke of Manchester, &c. &c.

CORN LAWS.

Be Ftem.—We are given to understand that a letter has been re"
ceived by a Member of Parliament from Mr. R. Stewart, one of the
Lords of the Treasury, intimating that the Corn-law question is to be
taken up at the ope.ning of Parliament.
Deeply convinced as we are, after many years' anxious study of the
question, that nothing short of a total repeal of the Corn.laws can be-
nefit the country, and that to be safe the repeal must be immediate, we
urgently press upon the attention of all the necessity to " beware of

trepans."

From conversations with the delegates at Manchester, and with the
most intelligent inhabitants of various places we have recently visited,
we are assured that the conviction, that anything short of a total and
intinekliate repeal c f the Corn-laws, will prove unavailing, is universal
among their opponents, from Trent to John o'Groat's House. If the
powerful body entertaining this opinion he but true to itself, it must
prevail. As the Corn-laws are at present they cannot continue. No agri,
culturist will Tong endure a system which allows corn to enter and beat
down prices at the exact moment when high prices are essential to him.
A move must be made, and if the body organised at slanchester remains
firm and united, it can decide the result of that movement.

Sir Robert Peel, we are assured, has declared his opinion that the
Corn.laws must be modified. Lord John Ru'sell suggests a low fixed
duty. We must listen to the tempting of neither charmer. Let par-
ties and partizans sink or swim, let us,abide by that which can alone
save the country—total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws.—Glas.
gow Argus, the sentiments of which we cordially echo.

THE RECENT ASSASSINATION.—The Pilot con-
firms the expression we conveyed yostercUty. " The Limerick
Chronicle, a Tory paper," says the Pilot, " was the first to allude
to the report, and dared to name the young nobleman; and
tee Mail next did all it could do to circulate and virtually to
sanct;on it. It is now right to vindicate that nobleman from
the foul calumnies of the Tory organ. We protest solemnly
we never alluded to tha respectable name when we noticed
vague rumours. Our correspondents in the neighbourhood
never alluded to it, We believe it never had existence but in
these Tory papers, and now repudiate and dismiss the foul
slander for ever."
On Thursday Robert Fawcett and William Holden,
toll collectors at the Marsh gate turnpike, Lambeth, were
swore° !led at the instance of Algernon Smith, a Queen-square
officer, for havina taken of him toll when he was conveying
prisoners from Quern- square police.office to Horsemonger.
lane. The information was laid under the Act 30th George
IV., c. 62, whereby it is provided that "any horse or carriage
travelling with any vagrant sent by legal pass, or any prisoner
in custody under a leg.. warrant, or returning after having
been so employed." was exempted from toll. fa the present
case the toll had been enforced, thereby subjecting the parties
taking it, or their employers, to a penalty of 5/. The case
aas not defended, but the information was dismissed upon pay-
ment of costs.
