WAY.

REDUCTION OF DUTY ON FRENCH BRANDY.
COGNAC BRANDY, like the wine from which
it is obtained, requires age for its perfection ; when old, it is
the most wholesome of spirits, but when new it is deficient in its
good and medicinal properties ; while, if adulterated with British
Brandy, these valuable properties are lost, and, from a generous and
invigorating cordial, it is changed into a coarse and inflammatory
spirit.
The great difficulty of procuring good genuine old Cognac Brandy,
and the high duty charged upon it, have hitherto prevented many
persons from using it ; but now that a good and genuine article may
be obtained, and at a much more moderate rate, it is natural to ex-
pect a great increase in the consumption.
To meet this demand, Mr. L. E. SEIGNETTE has determined to
avail himself of his long and intimate acquaintance with the Brandy
trade as an importer. He holds the largest stock of Cognac Brandy,
pale and brown, in this country, and, in accordance with the wishes
and recommendations of his numerous friends, he has taken out a
Wholesale Dealer's Foreign License, which enables him to dispose of
it in quantities of two gallons upwards, duty paid. lie pledges him-
self to sell none but the best Old Cognac Brandy, genuine as im-
ported, and carefully selected.
To those who know him, he feels assured that this pledge will be
satisfactory. To strangers, who can discriminate the soft and fla-
grant flavour of pure and matured Cognac from the coarse, ardent,
and frequently adulterated spirit until now imposed on the public, he
recommends a trial, with reliance on their judgment in favour of the
superior quality of his Brandy.
Mr. Seignette begs also to offer to the Public the best Hollands'
Geneva that can be imported.
Prices for Cash on delivery, in quantities not less than two gallons
are—

245. per Gallon for best Brown Cognac Brandy.
265. 11, best Pale Ditto.
20s. ~ best Geneva (Ilollands).
A liberal allowance to the Trade, to whom Mr. Seignette takes the
opportunity of offering his Brandies and. Geneva in bond at current
market prices.

CALEDONIAN EXTENSION RAILWAY.
The
Committee of Management have the satisfaction of an-
nouncing to the Shareholders, that the MI for incorporating the
Company having passed Standing Orders, has been introduced into the
House of Commons, and will be forwarded through Parliament with
the least possible delay.
A Meeting of the Shareholders has been called, in accordance with
the Sessional Orders recently passed by both Houses of Parliament,
at which it is necessary that one-third of the capital of the Company
should be represented.
Shareholders who are unable to be present are requested to lodge
their Scrip with any of the following parties, who will giVe a receipt
for the same, and return the Scrip after it has been produced to the
Meeting, viz.:—
Mr. John Barr, Secretary to the Company, 28, Parliament-street,
Westminster ; Messrs. Hope and Oliphant, Iv. s., Princes-street,
Edinburgh; Messrs. Grahame, Maxwell, and Co., St. Vincent-street,
Glasgow.
In consequence of the works being now limited to the Western
Extension, the Directors will be enabled either to reduce the amount
of the shares or to restrict the sum to be called upon each to a
very considerable extent.
The project, 88 tioit limited, consists, first, of the Branch from
Lesmahagow to the Clydesdale Junction Railway at Hamilton,
Opening a direct communication from the most valuable mineral
field in the West of Scotland to the city of Glasgow, from which a
very large return may be expected, as:the gas coal of Lesmahagow
is well known for its superior quality, and for that description of
. coal there is now an unlimited demand for exportation, as well as
for home consumption. The funds already in the hands of the Di-
rectors will be applied, in the first instance, to the construction of
, this line.
