PATENT BRANDY versus COGNAC.

THE approach of that season of the year which
has usually brought with it an increased demand far
Spirits, induces J. T. BETTS and CO. to renew in the recol-
lection of their friends and the public, that their Patent Brandy
not only leaves behind all irritations of the foreign article, but
even the lower qualities of French Brandy ; while its flavour
vies with that of the best qualities of Cognac ; and it is at the
same time a more pure and wholesome
The only establishment of J. T. BETTS and Co. is the
Distillery, No. 7. Smithfield-bars, where Two Gallons and
upwards may be obtained. either pale or coloured, at Eight ccu
Shillings per Gallon, for Cash on Delivery.

P U SE YISM.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Liverpool, Dec. 19, 1840.
Sir—ln your Sun of 18th instant you promised a list of
books written by the men called Puseyites, but perhaps, in
the article on Puseyism, to which I refer, you forgot to
name the books. These people are very muck spoken
against at present ; and many, like myself, readers of The
Sun, afraid of wading through 75 tracts, and having little
time to spare for reading, would yet like to know from the
men themselves, in a condensed Joint, what their real prin-
ciples arc—whether they are fairly and truly described, or
whither they, together with a large portion of her Majes-
ty's Christian subjects, are caricatured, slandered, and be-
lied. The favour sought will be thankfully received, and
will be looked out for in an early Sun.
1 am, Sir, yours respectfully,
A LOVER OF FAIR-PLAY.
[The following are the books which we omitted to men-
tion at the time :-1. Dr. Pusey's Letter to the Bishop
of Oxford, on Doctrines held of old, as now, in the Eng-
lish Church (last edition with new preface)-2. Mr. Pell
Platt's Letter to Dr. Pusey-3. Letters on Apostolical
Succession, by a Reformed Catholic (Rivingtons)-4.
Dodsteortli's Church of England, or Protestor against
Romanism and Dissent. Our Correspondent " Anglo-
Catholic," whose letter appeared on Friday, will perhaps
fav,:ur " A Lover of Fair-play" with his version of the
new faith, pointing out in what respects it differs from the
faith of the Anglican Church. We have already given our
opinion of the dangerous doctrines taught at Oxford.]

MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN MEDICAL

SCIENCE.
" Viecet veritas et prevalebit."

LEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA-
TION for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, RHEUMA-

TIC GOUT, TIC DOULEROUX, LUMBAGO, SCIA-
TICA, RHEUMATIC FEVER, QUINSEY, &c., is now
for the first time introduced to the notice of the public; al-
though in the present age of imposture it is difficult to put for-
ward a truth, however important, that shall not be liable to be
confounded with the daily empirical puffs that are obtruded on
the publie eye. This consideration has for a long time deterred
proprietor el Feaver's Embrocation from advertising it.
Fealing, however, a thorough conviction of the incalculable be-
nefits it will confer on mankind, he conscientiously believes
that, by withholding it longer, he would be wanting in the com-
mon feelings of humanity towards his fellow-creatures, and of
duty towards himself. He, therefore, no longer hesitates to
adept this mode of making this wonderful remedy generally
known, that the afflicted may have an opportunity of enjoying
the blessings it offers them. This specific was revealed to the
proprietor's father twelve years ago, who then cured him-

thatwalk
ptewr-

,that it has
never been known to fail in effecting a cure, where the proprie-
ter's instructions have been attended to. Its extraordinary
efficacy has been for years tested by several medical gentlemen
of distinguished eminence, who declare it to be the greatest
discovery every made in medical science. The superiority it
possesses over every other remedy consists in its being an in-
noxious vegetable compound, in the perfect security with
which it may be used (outwardly) by the most afflicted and
timid patient, and in the certainty of its being a sound safe,
and radical exterminator of the above-named maladies in all
their terrible and agonizing forms. Original testimonials in
confirmation are in the hands of the Proprietor, Nos. 2 and 3,
Friday-street, for the inspection of these who may wish to
satisfy themselves on the subject.
To be had of Mr. Feaver, Friday-street, Cheapside; Bar-

Paul's ; Sutton and Co., Bow Churchyard; Willoughby and
Co., Biskepsgate-street ; Sanger, Oxford-street; and of most

N.B.—The public are requested to refer to the London

ter from Thomas Schofield, Esq., relating the extraordinary
cure effected on him by the use of this embrocation.

CHEAP WARD.

Yesterday, at one o'clock, a wardrnote took place in the
vestry-rooms of St. Lawrence, Old Jewry. for the elec-
tion of Common Councilmen. Mr. W. Thompson,
M.P., in the choir. A poll was demanded, and at four
o'clock, the numbers were :—Mr. Deputy Brooke, 18;
Mr. Fenaing, 12; Mr. Ganthony, 14; Mr. Watson, 10;

LIFE DEPARTMENT.

For the convenienee of parties wishing to assure for a ape.,
cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower
rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici-
pating scale, one half the premiums may remain on interest
at five per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to assure
his life for 1,0001. on the immediate paymen' of the premium
for 5001. For example, on the non-participating scald a man
aged :30 may assure his life
for 5001. by an annuaal payment of
9/. 18s. 4d., and if he can employ the money better in his
trade or profession, one half of it may remain unpaid for five
years, on his merely paying the interest till the expiration
of that period. So that, for the trifling sum of five guineas
per annum, a comfortable provision may be secured for a widow
or a family.
The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of
1001., one-half of which may remain fur five years by merely
paying the interest annually at five per cent., and should the
policy becomea claim in the interim the amount due will then
be deducted :

ORDER. —The Indians having acted with their usual
want of faith, the armistice is at an end. The Command-
ing Officers of the districts, regiments, and ports, will
therefore be prepared to act offensively only on the pro-
mulgation of this order.
Rio JANEIRO, OCT. 6. —Flour exports not having been
by any means so heavy as was generally expected at the
close of last month, prices have remained tolerably steady.
Should the blockade of Buenos Ayres be raised (of which
by the last accounts from Monte Video sanguine hopes were
entertained), our markets will be relieved to a considerable
extent, and prices no doubt will improve. The total im-
ports since our last have been 12,690 barrels, and the ex-
ports 8,043.
Exports of Coffee.—Our exports this month amount to
90,037 bags—of these 33,000 bags went to the States
against 56,646 in September 1839, and 13,070 in the same
month of 1838. Superior qualities not having been so
much in request, have declined a little in price, whilst there
li is been a more active demand for the lower descriptions,
principally for the south of Europe. Supplies have been
unusually mall, and it is not improbable but that the crop
will be even shorter than our previous estimate of 200,000
bags as compared with the last.
Sugar.—Our stock consists of about 1,000 cases, for
which it is thought holders will be obliged to accept of
lower rates.

fliies.—The market has been dull during the past
month, sales not exceeding 10,000, leaving a stock of
about 8.000, chiefly heavy.
Exchange, after declining to 291, had again rallied, and
is now firm at 302 31 dol.
Our advices from the River Plate are to the 10th ult.
bat the accounts are 20 contradictory that it is impossible
to ascertain from them the real state of affairs there. Fur-
ther intelligence is anxiously expected.
From Rio de Grande cur accounts are unfavourable.
No event of importance had taken place there, but the
rebels had not accepted the proffered amnesty, and rein-
forcements of natives are being sent from this.

LITERATURE.

-••••--- -
DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.
The pleasantest article in this Number is the
personal narrative of Charles O'Malley, the Irish
Dragoon, as he styles himself, which is hit off in
that light, good-humoured manner, which is so po•
pular now-a-days. Next to this in point of interest
is the ‘f Legend
.of Ulster"--a vigorously written
story, abounding in cleverly contrived incident.
The portrait gallery contains a sketch of Mr. Litton,
an eminent Irish lawyer, and of rigid Tory politics.

EPISCOPAL MAGAZINE.
This periodical, whose avowed object is to pro-
mote the interests and illustrate the principles of the
Established Church, fulfils its task in a skilful,
pains-taking spirit, as must be evident to every one
who reads the careful and even elaborate account of
the progress of the Reformation at Saint Andrews,
which stands the first article in the Number be-
fore us.

HISTORY OF NAPOLEON.—PART XXI.
The present Part of this popular piece of bio-
graphy contains the details of Napoleon's retreat
from Russia, and of the sufferings that the French
army underwent while endeavouring to accomplish
that retreat. It is very spiritedly written, and the
tone is scrt.pulously impartial.

UNION HALL.

A gentleman, named Wooley, was yesterday brought
up before Mr. Trail, charged with annoying the family
of a lady named Gay, residing at Champion-hill, by
knocking at the door and ringing the bell, and other-
wise conducting himself in an offensive manner.
From the statement of the gardener in the service
of Mrs. Gay, it appeared that for the last six months
the family of that lady had been exceedingly annoyed
by the extraordinary conduct of the defendant. At the
period above-mentioned the defendant having accident-
ally met with some of the females of the family in the
neighbourhood where they reside, while they were out
walking, followed them home, and having by this means
ascertained their abode, has ever since continued to haunt
the dwelling, and to make repeated inquiries after one of
the young ladies. He has been frequently warned to
keep away from the premises, and threatened even
with personal chastisement if he persisted in calling
at the house, and he (the gardener) on one occa-
sion, after having warned him not to be coming after
his young mistresses, took the law into his own hands,
and gave him a thrashing. The punishment, however,
did not deter the defendant from repeating his visits,
and when the female branches of the family ventured
out they were certain to be dogged by their persevering
tormentor, who not only followed them about the neigh-
bourhood, but also watched them to church on Sundays,
and took up his station as near as possible to the pew
in which the family sat, and kept gazing intently dur-
ing the service on those who occupied it. In fact, the
nuisance had become so great that it was at length
found absolutely necessary to adopt the present pro-
ceedings for the purpose of putting an end to such a
system of annoyance.
As Mr. Wooley refused to pledge his word that he
would in future abstain from calling at Mrs. Gay's, the
Magistrate fined him 40s. ; and the defendant, de-
clining to pay the fine, was committed for seven days
to the House of Correction. When he was locked up
in the cell at the rear of the court, he made a joke of
the affair, and, laughing, said that the family would re-
lent at having placed him in such a situation, and that
he was convinced, before five o'clock (at which hour
all the prisoners are sent off in the van to gaol), the
family (meaning Mrs. Gay's) would call at the court,
pay the tine, release him from captivity, and take him
home in their carriage, where he would have the ec-
static felicity of again beholding the adorable object of
his affections. The hour for the departure of the van,
however, arrived, and the defendant's anticipations not
having been verified, he was included in the list of
those who were conveyed away to gaol.

COLONIAL MAGAZINE.

The article entitled " Effects of Climate on
Man," which is commenced in this Number, con-
tains a brief history of the most remarkable epi-
demics that have afflicted the human species. The
writer, in tracing the origin of these diseases, states,
as a well-founded opinion, that all the destructive
epidemics have had their origin in malaria, which,
in a cold climate, produces typhus fever ; in a more

temperate one plague and yellow fever ; and within
the tropics, cholera, &c., each modified according
to the idiosyncratic state of the sufferers. This
doctrine he endeavours to prove by enumerating
the circumstances which preceded some of the most
remarkable plagues on record and in almost
every instance it appears that great rains, followed
by excessive heat, were the precursors. The com-
mencement of the cholera in India in 1817, is at-

tributed to the unusual moisture and heat of pre-
ceding seasons ; and the great plague in 1347, the
most awful on record, when two-thirds of the
human race were swept off the face of the earth,
followed a season of extraordinary rain and heat.
Numerous other instances are given, which
leave no doubt of the fact that shallow lakes and
marshes, whether with fresh or salt water, are always
fatal to human life. Of the two, salt water, if in
small quantities, is more deleterious than fresh, as
it expedites the decomposition of animal and vege-
table substances. This has been satisfactorily
proved by oceanic inundations in Holland, Eng-
land, and many other parts of the world, which are
invariably followed by plague or fever. One satis-
factory conclusion may be drawn from these facts,
that as agricultural improvements (of which drain-
age is one of the first importance) advance, so must
the general health of the human race be increased.
We have space only to call attention to two other
articles deserving notice—one on the " Union of
Ireland with England," and " War, or no War,
England's Duty."

'ROST'S EXPECTATIONS IN VAN
DIEMEN'S LAND.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sra,__Much commisseration being shown by a large Po!:
tion of people for the condition into which Frost and his
companions are thrown, leads me to direct your attention
to the subjoined extract from a small work, published in
London, entitled, " The Condition and Capabilities of
Van Diemen's Latin as a place of Emigration," by a Mr.
Dixon, in which colony, he states, he has resided nearly
ten years. In this place of punishment it is that Frost is
condemned to pass the remainder of his days. His pros-
pects, according to Mr. Dixon's account, are by no meaty
unhappy, for in describing the working of prison die-
cipline in the colony, he (the author)Perii
haps he is assigned to amr ster in town ; and here he all
at once is metamorphosed into a liveried servant,
or is en-
gaged in some simple and easy servitude; if an artificer,
he is assigned to a master who gives him every encourage-
ment, and puts him on a footing with the free emigrant.
Again, perhaps he is a man of education, and then he is
instantly put into an office as a clerk, his hours of duty are
few, he is suffered to be attired as he thinks proper, and
passes in public not only as a free man, but as a gentleman."
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
