The objects of this Institution are to grant adequate rates of
Annuity to parties disposed to invest Capital in this manner,
and to offer to others the means of obtaining a provision, at an
advanced age, on fair and reasonable terms.
Not being restricted in regard to the investment of its Ca-
pital. like the Government Office, which can only grant An-
nuities in exchange for transfers of Stock, and not being en-
cumbered with the heavy responsibilities of Life Offices, on
account of the immense sums assured by them, the " CITY
OF' LONDON" Company is enabled to present to the Public
a much more equitable Scale of Rates than can be offered by
either of these Establishments. This may be at once seen by
reference to the printed Tables, which, with every requisite
information, may be obtained by application at the Office.
By order of the Board of Directors,
WILLIAM BAILEY, Secretary.

DATENT BRANDY VERSUS COGNAC.
J. —lf any evidence were wanting, that the old prejudices in
favour of French Brandy over the English Spirit are fast wear-
ing away, and that the public are discrialinating and judging for
themselves as to the respective merits of the two articles, such
evidence will be found in the simple fact that, whilst BETT'S
PATENT BRANDY has experienced a sale, within the present
year, exceeding, by nearly 50 per cent., that of any corre-
sponding 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
time ; a necessary consequence of their total inability to produce
an article with the slightest pretensions to approach it in
quality.
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, Smithfield-
hart, leading to St. John-street, their only Establishment.
