BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.
TIHE futility of all attempts Jo produce a Spirit
equal in purity to the PATENT BRANDY, is clearly
proved by the fact that the reports which have been obtained upon
all other productions submitted to the analysis of Chemists have
been such. as the parties have not dared to publish. Whilst the
testimonials of many of the most eminent in that profession, in fa-
vour of the PATENT BRANDY, which have never, in a single
instance, been called in question—have established-it as essentially
pure, and free from those- injurious qualities, which exist even in
the first classes of Foreign Brandy ; thus entitling it to the ex-
clusive support and recommendation of the medical profession.
As Distillers, J. T. BETTS and Co. cannot send out less than
two Gallons of their PATENT BRANDY; which may be ob-
tained at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, of the highest
legal strengt,_at Na.. 7, Smithfield-Bars, leading to
Tulirit'ea,"ich is heir only Establishment.

AN HISTORICAL and PRACTICAL
TREATISE on SYPHILIS, its Consequences, on Stric-
tures, Eruptions, Nodes, and Nocturnal Pains, so frequently mis-
taken for Rheumatism; These subjects are illustrated by a variety
of highly interesting cases, together with the miseries of a secret
vice, so long and so unhappily pursued by the youth of both sexes.
In the one it will be found an unfailing source of barrenness, in
. the .other have its ravages fatally developed by a distressing state
of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates in impotency
these are its remote and ultimate effects ; whilst Consumption,
Loss of Muscular Power, and various other complaints, usually
characterise the earlier stages of these distressing diseases, for the
Cure of which the Author has laid down a plan of treatment which,
• during his experience of upwards of thirty-five years' extensive
practice, has invariably proved successful ; with concluding remarks
on the evils resulting from attempts at self cure.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS

The speech of the Queen Regent of Spain, on open-
ing the New Cortes,'offers very few topics upon which
we need enlarge at the present moment. One leading
' feature•pervattes this document, which cannot he other-
' wise than satisfactory to the friends of constitutional
order in that country, namely, the marked adherence it
presents to a settled system of Reform, of a practical
character, altogether separated from the extravagant
notions of those parties who dream of the re-establish-
ment of the Constitution of 1812. The attention of
the Cortes is called to points of great national interest ;
and if it should happen, as many .persons suppose,
that a majority of the members recently returned to the
Chamber of Procuradores are imbued with sentiments
of an. ultra-constitutional tendency, we trust that they
will learn from her Majesty's exhortations the line of
duty it becomes them to pursue under the circum-
stances in which the monarchy is actually placed. It is
high time for the Spanish Legislature to sacrifice all
parry prejudices to the object 'of suppressing the civil
war in the northern provinces. Vain will be their laws
-for the reulation of elections, unless their projects for
settling re`
future connection with the states of Spanish
America, and worse than useless their schemes for at-
.'ter 'pting to arrange the national obligationsi-Tmless
they begin their labours by a resolute effort to clear the
Country of the Carlists. This is the main point to
which their labours should be directed forthwith. The
.Speech pays many well-penned compliments to the
troops, both foreigmAnd domestic, engaged in her Ma-
jesty's service, and speaks in polished language of the
laurels which they have already gained in their conflicts
with the insurgents. We presume that these praises
are well-founded ; but at the same time we know, what
is obvious to every person, that since the accession of
M. Mendizabal to the presidency of "the Council, the
cause of the Queen has made little or no progress in
the insurgent provinces. The fact is, and it ought no
longer to be concealed, that lie wants the sinews of war,
—he has not money to pay the troops—he is without
the means of carrying on the contest in the vigorous
manner which such a contest requires. Unless
the Spanish Deputies apply themselves at once to
this question, unless they agree to offer to her Majesty
a real subsidy, not consisting of nominal seignorial
demands, and claims on tithes which there is nobody
to pay ; unless they come forward with hard dollars,
and enable the War Minister to supply the troops with
provisions and munitions, such as are absolutely indis-
pensable to the prosecution of active hostilities, they.
,might as well have not been called together. We in-
sert in another column the " exposition," which has
been addressed to the Queen-Regent by a large num-
ber of influential persons, soliciting her Majesty to
continue her confidence to M. Mendizabal. It appears
that great efforts have been made by a party which we
need not particularly designate, to render the position
of that Minister as disagreeable to him as possible.
We trust they will' not succeed ; because we are per-
fectly certain that if he be ousted from.power by those
who are endeavouring to succeed him, little chance will
he left for the restoration of peace, or the preservation
of freedom in the Peninsula. The paragraphs
in the Speech relating to the vote of confidence
passed by the late Cortes are open to many
remarks. But. we have no desire to press them,
knowing as we do the tremendous difficulties
under which the Spanish Government- has laboured
since the dissolution of that body. Votes of confi-
dence arc not the sort of aid which the Government
wants; and hitherto, certainly, they have resulted in
no practical operation conducive to the welfare of the
country. Much is said, and very truly,
.of the effect
of the severity of the past winter, which has retarded
the military projects in the North. The fine weather
will speedily set in, and now is the time for the loyal
subjects of the Queen, sent to Cortes, to show that
they are not mere visionaries and rhetoricians. Let
them forthwith give the Minister a couple of millions
sterling, and then set about the electoral law, and
road making, and all other species of reforms which
they may deem expedient. But unless they begin by
putting money in her Majesty's purse, they might just
as well sit themselves down to read " Don Quixote,"
as to consult for the welfare of her Majesty's throne.
—Morning Chronicle.

There is little wonder that the Foreign Secretary
should be examined so frequently and so closely by
Members of Parliament concerning the affairs of Eu-
rope, the state of which is more disjointed than it has
been at any period of the last hundred years, which
was not one of actual and general war. In the east
of Europe, especially there is room for unnumbered
interrogations, many of which Lord Palmerston would
be unable, and many more of them, we guess, disin-
clined to answer. On Wednesday evening Mr. P. M.
Stewart put some questions to the Noble Viscount, to
none of which was the reply of a nature at all, we
must say, satisfactory. The first related to the dis-
tressing and disgraceful events which have taken place
at Cracow, and required from Lord Palmerston some
information as to the correspondence which he had
held, with certain foreign Ministers touching those
transactions, as likewise touching any communications
he might have had with the lawful authorities of Cra-
cow itself. The Foreign Secretary said no more than
that he had received answers from most of the Minis-
ters to whom he had written upon the subject, but
what those answers were the Noble Lord did not think
proper to make known. With the authorities of
Cracow, however, Lord Palmerston had kept up
no sort of intercourse. He had at one time intended
to despatch the British Consul from Warsaw to the
Senate of the little republic—that is, upon hearing
that the military Powers had summoned it to expel
certain Polish refugees from its territory. But it
seems that the march of Russian and Austrian troops
was too quick for the travelling pass of an English
diplomatic functionary, and that before the Consul
could transport his single person from Warsaw to Cra-
cow—a distance of about 130 miles—the soldiers of
Nicholas and his complaisant allies had managed to
move across their respective frontiers, and make an
open seizure of the city. The Noble Lord represents
this circumstance as if it were a reason for his giving
up all idea of communicating with the 'authorities of
Cracow---beeause it might have been construed into
an acquiescence in the outrage offered to them. This ap-
pears to us a sorry excuse for a proceeding in its own
nature tame and abject. The actual violence perpe-
trated upon Cracow was, on the contrary, a reason for
sending thither a Minister, arid thereby recognizing
the de jnre independence of the republic,more cogent
a thousand times than the mere threat-of violence had
been. A Minister ought to have been sent, if for no other
object, toprotcst agkiiist the
,lawless aggression'of Rus-
sia, and teremOve frovin this country the stigma, too pro-
bably justified. by Lord Palmerston's countermand of
the meditated mission, that .England.either has not
seen any crime on-the part. of 'Russia to' denoutiee, or
has dreaded Russian power ;too much. to declare her
sense of it. --To the, question ;regarding the treatment
experienced by the unfortunate Poles who had been
tyrannically torn away from CracoW, the 'answer was
one which showed with how little gravity the Russian
Government thought' it necessary to treat the remon-
strances of Enalish Whigs in office. ..Lord Durham
having complained that the Polish prisoners had been
remanded to Russian Poland (there to be at the mercy
of' the Autocrat); instead of being transferred to France
or to othCr Parts of Europe, M. Nesselrode, with im-
perturbable countenance, assured the British Ambas-
sador that he " knew nothing at all "
(sweet inno-
cent !) "of such a fact ; and, moreoVer, that lie
did not belieVe' it. This, ,we know,
quite " as easy as lying," was easily said,
and it may be taken as
a pretty accurate measure of the respect with which
the Whig-Radical Government has inspired its
neighbour in the North. There was yet another
point submitted to the attention of _ Lord Palmer-
ston by the Hon. Member for Lancaster. It re-
