TESTIMONIALS.

" SS, Aldersgate-street, Nov. 13, 182.9.
" Stg,—The sample of Patent French DistiPed Brandy you
sent me I have accurately examined; and having instituted a
series of experiments on it, and on the finest French Brandy, I
have in these comparative trials been able to discover so little
difference, either in their composition or effects, that they may be
considered as identical ; excepting that your Brandy is free from
uneombined acid and astringent matter, which exists more or
ess in most of the Brandies imported from France.
" I remain, Sir, your's repectfully,
" JOHN THOMAS COOPER,
" Lecturer on Chemistry."

" To Mr. Betts."

~Long Acre, Nov. 14, 1829,
44 Si Sin,—Having examined and analyzed several samples of ge-
nuine French Brandy, and compared them with the Brandy of
your own manufacture, I am bound to say, and do assert it with
confidence, that for purity of spirit this cannot be surpa•scd ;
and that your Patent Brandy is also quite free from those acids
which, though minute in quantity, always contaminate the fo-
reign spirit.
g. In obedience to your request, I have sealed several bottles
of your Brandy, which I shall preserve for the purpose of com-
parison, should this be required at any future period.
" I remain, Sir, your's respectfully,
" JOSEPH HUME, Chemist to his Majesty.
44 J. T. Betts, Esq."

"3a, Upper Gower-street, Nov. 17, 1829.
" Stn,—l have carefully analyzed the specimen of Patent
French Distilled Brandy which you sent me for examination,
and do not hesitate to express m y conviction that it is fully as
free from every thing injurious to health, and contains as pure a
spirit, as the best varieties of Foreign Brandy.
" In accordance with your wishes, I have sealed and preserved
several bottles of your Brandy, which may be referred to at.any
future time if necessary.
" I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant,
" EDWARD TURNER, Professor of Chemistry
in the University of London, &c.

A Cabinet Council is fixed for this evening,
for which all the Ministers have been summoned.

Despatches were sent off last night to Viscount
GaAxviLLE, our Ambassador at Paris.

This day the village of Chiswick presented a
very gay appearance, in consequence of the grand fete that
is to be given by the Duke of DEVONSHIRE to their MA-
JESTIES. The village is much crowded.

The Bishop of BATH and WELLS has an-
nounced to his numerous labourers, that he will henceforth
give 12s. per week to every sober and industrious labourer
who is able and willing to do a good day's work.— Wor-
cester Journal.

The remains of the late Archbishop of DUBLIN

press request: the funeral was strictly private. —Evening
Padget.

The Rev. H. J. HASTINGS, M.A., of
Trinity College, has been instituted by the Lord Bishop of
WORCESTER to the Rectory of Areley Kings, in that
county, void by the death of the Rev. GEORGE flutstit
patron, the Lout> CIIA NCELLOR.—Cambridge Chronicle.

We have received a copy of the ukase of
the Emperor of RUSSIA, dated the 25th ult., authorizing
the loan of 30,000,000 of rubles. The loan is to be
effected by the issue of this sum in state paper, or impe-
rial bank notes of 250 rubles each. They are to bear an
interest of 4 per cent., or rather of 4 32-100ths, as each
note brings 10 rubles and SO copecs. The regulations for
carrying this project into execution would not much in-
terest the English reader.—Tinges.

Potatoes are now retailing in this city at one
penny per quarter.— Worcester Journal.

The great expectations of sport on the 12th
of August have not been, in general, realized. Some of
the moors in the neighbourhood of Otley were found almost
destitute of game ; and on others the birds are so packed
that they are most difficult to approach. The sellers
complain bitterly.—Leeds Intelligencer.
The harvest in the neighbourhood of Dor-
chester is now very nearly completed. A few days more
will see the fields clear, and witness the celebration of
harvest home, with all its jollity, its merry dance and
gleeful song, on every farm. The ingathering season has
closed as it began, with sunny skies and drying
airs, and
without any of those outpourings of rain, the visitations of
Providence, which sometimes blight the hopes and destroy
the prospects of the agriculturist. The fields will thus
be clear before the fatal Ist of September, and from the
favourableness of the season for breeding and rearing, it
is expected that game of every kind will this year be un-
usually numerous. Many large coveys of fine birds have
been seen upon the wing in this immediate neighbourhood.
