BETTS'S PATENT BR AN,IIY.
The extraordinary patronage with which this favourire-be-
veracre has been honoured, by the Nobility, the Medical Profession,
and by all classes of the community, since its introduction in 1829,
affords of itself, sufficient evidence of its unequalled merits.
To this triumphant success must he attributed the fact, that each
succeeding year has witnessed the birth and death of some new
Brandy Establishment ; called into life by jealousy of the success
of the PATENT BRANDY, and (loomed to certain failure ns a
necessary consequence ; being totally. unable to produce an article
capable of sustaimug a competition with it.
The only Establishment of J. 'l. Betts and co. is the Distillery'
No. 7, Smithfield Bars, leading to St.. John-street, where .the
Patent Brandy may be, bad either pale or coloured, in quantities
not less than, Two Gallons, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial
Callon, for Cash on delivery.

p The entire absence of purity in quality of that great national
beverage English Gin, has lons been a matter of as general, as it is
of jest complaint. This prominent fact has, for years past, pressed
T. BETTS and Co. ; and the nu-
merous applications they have had for this spirit, from the desire
of obtaining a pure article, have at length forced upon them the
determination of extending to the production of English Gin that
System of Distillation which has, for so many years, distinguished
their patent Brandy at an essentially pure spirit. Their ar-
rangements for this purpose are in a forward state; and by the be-
,in„ing of August they hope to he prepared to offer to the Public,
Gin, which shall be as much signalized from other articles pass-
in; under that name, as their Patent Brandy is, and ever has been,
celebrated for its decided superiority over every other production to
which the term Brandy has been applied. They ;NM thus enable
the public to substitute a perfectly pure, wholesome, am! pleasant
beverage, for one, the qualities of which, though frequently at-
wked, its manufacturers have never attempted to defend. In
making this announcement, J. T. Betts and Co. look - forward,
with entire confidence, to the discrimination of that Public, in
giving to the PATENT GIN, which they will thus offer for their
adoption, the same marked support and preference that have ever
been afforded to the Patent Brandy.

LusimicToNr, Esq., M.P. :
Resolved,—That this Meeting, assembled under a deep sense of
gratitude to Divine Providence for the signal blessing with which,
the effents of their countrymen have been crowned ; unfeignetll:.,
rejoice that under the moral pressure of the recent Anti-Slave.*
movement in this country, Jamaica, Barbadoes, Grenada, St. Yin-
cent, St. Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat, and the Virgin Islands, have been
induced to follow the noble example of Antigua, and Bermuda ;
whilst they most heartily congratulate, not only their fellow-
labourers in the great work of Negro freedom, on the success wh!eh
has hitherto attended their exertions, but also the victims of :Inv'
tolerable oppression, on their happy deliverance.
3d.—Moved by Dr. LustuNc:TON, M.P. ; and seconded by tl:e

Rev: THOMAS MORGAN.
Resolved,—That „this Meeting, contemplating the great work,.
which yet remains to be done in obtaining the complete abolition of
the Apprenticeship system in the Crown Colonies of British
Guiana, Trinidad, Mauritius, St. Lucia and Honduras, and in th,.
chartered Colonies of Bahamas, Tobago, and Dominica,—in esta-
blishing the future freedom of the emancipated Negroes on a just,
and permanent basis—in securing an impartial administration 0'
the law, in strengthening the hands of the friends of the Negroes iu
the Colenies,—in the destruction of the spirit of Caste,—and
the counteraction of any insidious designs of the Planters to enact
laws to coerce labour, - under' a state of freedom, and to enforce
subordination to their authority—would urge the friends of lin;
inanity to unremitting exertions until they shall have fully secured
their great and ultimate object, the entire abolition of Slavery,
however modified, or however sanctioned, in all parts of her Ma-
jesty's Dominions.
4th.—Moved by D. O'CONNELL, Esq., M.P. ; and seconded
JOSIAH CONnER, Esq.
Resolved,—That while .this Meeting view with feelings °'
poignant regret and deep indignation the continuance and exten-
sion of the system of Slavery among professedly Christian nations,
by which man is degraded, justice outraged, and religion dishe-
naured—they regard with feelings of high admiration the effort,
now making, especially in the United States, for its entire abolition.
and they assure the Philanthropists of that and other countries, of
their warmest sympathy in their sacrifices and sufferings ; of their
continued prayers that they may be wise in council, and persevering
in effort ; and do tender them their hearty co-operation in prose'
cuting to a successful issue, the great and righteous object of the
Universal Abolition of Slavery.
sth. —Moved by B. HAWES, Jun., Esq., M.P. ' • Seconded by
GEO. EDMONDS, Esq. ; Supported by the Rev. TfrogAs
SCALES, of Leeds :
Resolved—That this Meeting deeply lament the continuance of
the Foreign Slave Trade, which, notwithstanding a vast expendi"
ture of life and money by this country to suppress it, is carried on
to a greater extent and with greater ferocity than ever—that they
cannot but consider all enraged in it as the enemies of rnankina,
and the nations which lend the sanction of their flags to cover it as
dishonoured—and that they look to the Universal Abolition of
Slavery as the only certain means of finally terminating so inhuman
and atrocious a traffic.

That the proceedings of this Meeting be published under the

NATIONAL LOAN FUND
DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

(From the Edinburgh Chronicle.)'
We have ever been warm advocates of economy,
forethought, and independence on the part of all
ranks, Particularly of our respectable working class.
inOf the population of this country, fully three.fourths,
cluding workmen and their wives and children, be-
long to this class ; and such being their numbers (not
to speak of their importance in an industrious point
of view, and their moral worth), we hesitate not to
say that no country can be regarded as happy or pros.
Perous, Where the working man is poor and depressed.
But, as generally speaking, every man is the architect
of his own fortune, and as it depends, not on others but
on himself, whether he have a fair and liberal share
of the comforts of life, or be sunk in a state of mi.
aerY and degradation, we have often urged on him the
4,acessitY of frugality and the dignity of independence.
We hold it as a principle which should never be lost
Sight of, that it is the duty of every man to support
himself, not only during his days of youth, of health,
and vigour, but at the same time to save as much
as will maintain him during sickness and old age,
and, perhaps, to leave a little capital (however trifling
it be) to his children after him. On this principle it
is, that we have ever advocated, and still advocate the
institution of Savings Banks, and all other institutions
that have a similar tendency, namely; the promotion
of saving and independence, and consequently (as we
have often shown), of virtue and happiness. Crime and
infelicity prevail, not among the respectable working
classes, but among classes far inferior to them—among
those classes who are in the lowest stage of want and
destitution, and who have fallen so low, that they
cannot sink lower, Suppose lam a workman, a per-
son who gains his daily bread by his daily labour, yet
if I can support myself and my family, by my own
unaided industry—particularly, if I can save my six.
pence or shilling a week, and not only keep poverty at
arm's-length, but accumulate a little fund to help me
in the evil day, if ever it come—if I can do this,
though I be otherwise a very humble labourer, the
chances arc a hundred to one, that I shall be a happy
and virtuous man, respected by all, and enjoying, in an
eminent degree, the confidence of my employer. I
shall thus be enabled to educate my children, to take
a seat in church, and, generally speaking, to do justice
to eys family. I shall feel that I have a stake in so-
ciety, and that I have neither lived nor laboured in
vain. Independence, particularly when that indepen.
deneels the result of my own honourable exertions,
runs the best chance of producing happiness. Abject
Poverty, absolute physical destitution, is invariably the
Parent of misery, and not unfrequently of vice and
of crime.
Such being our principles--and we regard them as
incontrovertible—we have always rejoiced in every in-
stitution that has a tendency to promote industry and
frugality, and to cherish a spirit of independence, on the
Lart of our invaluable working classes. The National
( oan
,(La" Fund (which we see advertised in our paper of
d •) seems to possess that character in an eminent
ee, and we have no doubt that it will prove pecu-
;! Y seful. That institution can boast of a capital
° half a million a much larger guarantee than is
necessary Indeed
it will prove a we believe that, from the beginning,
td
profitable commercial speculation; and
o such fund is necessary to command the cons.
Whici of the public. It meets every contingency to
the human life can be supposed liable ; and meets
lull in a manner as direct and effbctual as the consti.
CO nof the Society is original. Thus you can en.
your life on the moat advantageous terms ; but in
71e,You may from any circumstance, wish it, you may
ert the policy at any time into a payment in cash
ferar new
policy--or an annuity either immediate or de-
t Among other liberal conditions, we may men-
tionetila
You may, at any time, borrow two-thirds qf
liarll Previous payments, and the amount
,of any de.
bonus. The conditions are altogether most
beral
entr The premium is unusually low : there is no
Y"tar'neY• A policy if it has been in force seven
is not forfeited by suicide; two-thirds of pay.
Wo.on lapsed policies are returnable at death ; and
ethicthirds of the entire profits are annually divided
I the insured. We refer to the Advertisement,
h
tieu, 's clearly drawn up, for more minute par. '
of 7rs• But we cannot help adverting to the scheme
.Derferred Annuities, which is equally original and
antageoua.
These annuities cover every contin-
encY they serve as a fund for sickness, want of
er
f-a—Ployment, old age, or as a provision for your
41_11Y. Thus, if at the age of 20 you contribute
;ne shilling a week to the National Loan Fund,
suit may receive, at the age of 65,
either an an-
➢ of 47/. 16s. 6d., or, at your option,
In 3941. T Is.
Cash, or a policy of, 4661., payable to your heirs
or
assignees at your death. But this is not all. If
;24i so wish it, you can at any time withdraw, or. bor..
'cisy two.thirds of your previous payment; and this
It can do without its being regarded as a favour.
is your right. It is the condition on which you
PurchasedW a Deferred Annuity; and if you die before
'"e time that the annuity was fixed to commence,
Your heirs are entitl&l to two-thirds of all the pay-
reents you have made. It is thus evident that, by
beem!aiing a member of the National Loan Fund, your
m
--"eY is not locked up, but is available, to the
extent of two-thirds of your payments at any time,
and under any circumstances, that y
uu may wish it.
Nothing can be imagined more liberal than this. No-
thinl
rec can be imagined to give a greater impulse to the
se of the saving principle. Almost every man
can save his sixpence or shilling week ; and by means
of this saving, and by joining the Association in ques.
tion, he may most directly, and without the fear of risk,
achieve his independence, or leave a capital (greater
small, as the case maj be) to his family, or both re-
may be gained. When we recommend this
scheme of Deferred Annuities to the working man,
'le must at the same time say, that it Is equally advan-
tageous to persqns of a higher rank. Indeed, we have
avail themselves of the benefits it is calculated to emi-
tter. s
We are glad that a branch of the Company is ea-
ablished in this city, and that it is under such an
excellent manager—our ingenious townsman, Mr.
-• Jameson, W. 5.,. being Agent and Secretary
W
the Local Board. We beg again to call particular
attention to the Advertisement.

MEETING OF WALLACE AND BRUCE.
FROM WALLACE," A TRAGEDY,
BY MURDO YOUNG.

SCENE—CARRON RIVER.
(Eder NV ALLAcE musing, followed by BRUCE.)
WALLAtE.—The day is lost thrinigh Chinniing, hut the cause
OF Freedom must prevail.—ls that the Bruce?
BRucE.—Wilt thou not stay ? Behold, on Carron's bank
I sheathe the sword—which were it never drawn
We should have lesS to answer.-0 my country
WALLACE.—This was your country ; but it is not now
For traitor children she disowns, and weeps..
What mourns the Bruce?

BRUCE.-- I mourn fur Scotland's tears,
And widow'd state. I mourn to see her sons
Stand up in war against a powerful king,
Whose arm is victory, and mandate law.
Oh, sheathe the sword, and let her live in peace !
WALLACE.—AiId die itr bondage !—Traitor feel your chains.
(Going away.)
Bauct.—Depart not yet. stern -patriot. I—Art thou' nrld
WALLacE.Yes, when I see your abject degradation.'
You cannot dream wh'dt. Freedom's sword Ail do,
•
When Caledonia% spirit draWs it forth.
BRUCE.—It has been drawn in vain. Beheld her flow •
With blasted fields, and starving, hnuseless children—
WALLACE.—Thank your degenerate nature for that boon. ,
Are you not Bailors spirit from the Tower,
Assuming Bruee's'shaPe with serpent guile ?
BRUCE.—I atn,not . .
WALLACE.— '• Then you are not Bruce.
There was a Bruce would scorn to look on you!
Proud as the eagle—and as wildly. free.
But you are lamed and cagedinglorieus bird'.
BRUCE.—Art thou a king ?—,or wouliest be one?
WALLACE.— No : neither.
But Bruce, were you•a man, you Would be king.
13aucE.—You have designs upon the crowd ?
WALLACE._ •
BRUCE.—You bear the symbols of authority ?
WALLACE".—For the last time. This night I lay them down.

'Tis false.

Biwc.E.—.ltwonhl be, Wallace, but the fearful danger.
VALi.AcE.---The Coward heart that calculates disaster
Can never dare adventure's stormy sea ;
Nor spread the sail of hope, when danger aeeps,
And catch the breeze of opportunity.
Hs will not mount the wings of smiling morn,
But doubting, wait, till 'evening frown—too late.
Oh Bruce, how fallen from Caledonian virtue,
That sees no danger where her spirit calls!
She has no king—but one that mocks the name.
She has not nobles—as they us'd to be—
The monarch's image and the people's glory.
They crouch before the despot's spurning froWn,
And hug their chains—forgetting they are men.
for peasantry alone are noble—they
• Abandon all, aid sternly rush to battle.
They cannot bear to see the land they love
Di'sgrac'd by traitors—nor profan'd by si tve3.
YOu say, I'm wild ;—so is the eagle wild,
To find her nest assaulted.—What is Edward ?
Would you ask bread of faufne ?—from the wolf
Solicit mercy when beneath his paw ?
I was not born to fawn—but serve my country. •
Her cause is sacred.—lt behoves trienot •
. ,
'to speak of self. I leave it to my actions.
Lain.nut clue!, though you call me so.'
I drew the sword in tierce Oppression's face,
And ,will: not sheathe it while a slave remains. . .
It has drunk deep, indeed, of sad revenge,
But then it spared the widow and her babes
• I wip'd the tear of anguish from their cheek,
And felt a grateful sunshine in my soul,
That whispered—mercy was supreme in heaven.'
But when the tyrant came across my path,- ' •
The sunshine vaniSli'd—and my soul greW darL—
A Spirit inurmur'd—'tis a sin to spark f ..) t. •
NY arm was strengthen'd by a secret power,.
While Caledonia's wrongs rusli'd on my heart,
And nerv'd my-sword to madness. Bruce, farewell (Exit.)
BitucE.—Yet, Wallace, stay hear till ,morning break,
Fur Freedom's song was ne'er so wildly sweet. (Going.)
