BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.--The ex-
traordinary patronage with which this favourite beverage
has been honoured by the Nobility, the Medical Profession, and by
all classes of the community, since its introduction in 1821), affords,
•f itself, sufficient evidence of its unequalled merits.
To this triumphant success must be attributed the fact, that each
succeeding year has witnessed the birth and death of ‘omo new
Brandy Establishment ; called into EP* by jealousy of the success of
the Patent Brandy, and doomed to certain failure as a necessary
lonsequence ; being totally unable to produce an article capable of
sustaining a competition with it.
The only Establishment of J. T. Betts and Co. is the Distillery,
No. 7, Smithfield-bars, leading to St. John-street, where the
Patent Brandy may be had either pale or coloured, in quantities
not leas than two Gallons, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gal-
lon, for Cash on delivery.

PER SONS POSSESSING MONEY in the
FUNDS are referred to the Tables of the ROYAL
UNION ANNUITY OFFICE, Established in 1824, by which it
will be seen that by sinking one-fifth of their principal in the
purchase of an Annuity, they may in many eases increase their in-
come one-third.

The Tables are printed on single sheets for pust.

THE LATE MURDER IN NEWCASTLE.--It is a
novel and remarkable feature in the history of the recent
Savings' Bank Murder in this town—so far as that his-
tory has been hitherto developed—that the unprecedented
anxiety and painful suspense and disquietude which uni-
versally exist in the public mind, arise as much from the
position occupied by the accused, as from the frightful and
furious destruction of the actual sufferer. From the labo-
rious investigations which have taken place, and the mass
of evidence already adduced, only one fact, as regards Mr.
Bolam's share in the transaction, is indisputable. That Mr.
Bolam was an actor during the dreadful events connected
with the murder of his colleague and assistant in the Bank
is as certain as that night follows clay. But then comes the
mysterious question, was he intended as a second victim, or
was his the assassin's hand that did the deed ? This is the
short but fearful issue now awaiting the decision of a so-
lemn appeal to a jury. If Mr. Bolam, now immured in a
prison, on the evidence already elicited, be an innocent
man, then is he the most deeply and irretrievably injured
person ever ruined under the sanction of law. If, on the
contrary, his hands are imbued in blood, then does the
crime assume a character more awfully and inexplicably
sanguinary than any ever committed ; and 11;s name will go
down to posterity as the most diabolical villain that ever
disgraced humanity. At present the weight of testimony
for and against the accused seems pretty nearly balanced ;
and, relying with confidence that justice will, in the forth-
coming trial, hold the scales with an even hand—and hoping
that the evidence will be such as to clear up all impending
doubts, we leave the issue to Him who alone knoweth the
secrets of men's hearts. Pending the trial every possible in-
quiry continues to be vigorously prosecuted, and we proceed
to state the only additional circumstance which has trans-
pired since our last. It has been stated, on the authority
of a Contemporary, that Mr. Millie was in the habit of tak-
ing home coals from the bank to his own house. If so, it may
be that the several pieces of coal found wrapped up in pa-
per in his pockets were placed there—not by the mur-
derer, to assist in consuming the body during the fire, but
by the unfortunate man himself, for the purpose of being
consumed at home. This, considering Mr. Millie's strait-
ened circumstances, at first appears a probable event ; but
then it does seem unlikely that a man who bore an other-
wise irreproachabie character, would become dishonest for '
the sake of a few ounces of coal, more especially consider-
ino, the cheapness of that commodity in Newcastle. On
the whole, every discovery tends to invest the murder in a
cloud of deeper and more mysterious interest--Newcastle
Journal.

THE JUGGLERS AGAIN.—On Saturday after-
noon the gang of jugglers who sustained such signal dis-
comfiture in Conduit and Vigo-streets, flailing their endea-
vours fruitless to establish themselves at the west-end, went
in quest of apartments further eastward, and observing that
Mr. Barton, in Goswell-street road, had a first floor to let,
one of them applied, and succeeded in accomplishing his
object by representing himself as a Mr. Fector—who
had just arrived from Birmingham, and he expected his
wife in town in the morning. He gave a reference to
Colonel West, in Great Portland-street, but, as it was
late, Mr. Barton allowed him to sleep there, not doubt-
ing his plausible story. Sunday morning, before any of
the family were stirring, the remainder of the gang suc-
ceeded in obtaining admission, but having been observed
by a neighbour, his suspicion was excited on seeing the
well-known drum, scenery, &e., and took the first oppor-
tunity to mention the circumstance to Mr. Barton, who,
notwithstanding it was Sunday, hastened to great Portland-
street, but no such person as the Colonel was to be found ;
on his return he went up and requested them to leave,
which they positively refused to do, asserting that the lodg-
ings were taken, and threatened an action. Mr. Barton,
no way deterred, instantly procured the assistance of four
stout fellows and his servant, who, in a short time, after a
slight resistance, suceeded ejecting. the intruders, bundling
their trumpery out of the window into the road, to the no
small amusement of a number of persons outside, who were
with difficulty restrained from inflicting summary punish-
ment on them.

Within these few days there has been an extraor-
dinary increase of water in the Serpentine river, which has
raised it nearly four feet, by the sudden irruption of two
springs on the north side of the river. It is but a short
time since that, from the great deficiency of water, occa-
sioned by the construction of the new sewers in the
Uxbridge-road, which previously filled the Serpentine, the
Commissioners of Woods and Forests were about entering
into an agreement with the Chelsea Water Company to
supply the river, at the rate of 500/. per annum. This
will not be necessary now.

PRICE sd.

THE REV. MR. STEPHENS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

see in a report in The Sun of a meeting held in
the Carpenter's• hall to consider what means should be
adopted to support the Rev. J. R. Stephens, that a " Mr. Pren-
tice" took part in the proceedings, and was named upon a
Committee. As it may be suppo-,ed at a distance that I, as a
known Radical Reformer, had taken part in proceedings cha-
racterised by a violence which I believe to be injurious to the
cause of rational liberty, I have to beg that you will permit
me, through your Journal, to state that the parson so named is
not.—Your obedient servant,

ARCHIBALD PRENTICE.
