EDUCTION OF DUTY ON FRENUH
BRANDY.—COGNAC BRANDY, like the wine from which
it is obtained, requires age for its perfection ; when old, it is the best
and 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 inflamma-
tory spirit.

The great difficulty in 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
Ire obtained, and at a much more moderate rats, it is natural to
expect a great increase in the consumption.
To meet this demand, Mr. L. E. SErGNETTE has determined to
avail 'melt of his long and intimate acquaintance with the Brandy
Trade as an importer. lie 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. He pledges
himself to sell none but the best OLD COGNAC BRANDY, genuine
as imported, 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 fra-
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 upon their Judgment in favour of
the superior quality of his Brandy.
Mr. SEIGN ETTE 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 the best Brown Cognac Brandy.
269. best Pale ditto.
20s. best Geneva (Hollands).
A liberal allowancell to the trade, to wham Mr. SEIGNETTE takes
the opportunity of offering his Brandies and Geneva in bond at cur-
rent market prices.
Agents wanted for town and country; persons of respectability may
apply, per letter only, at the office,

SHIRTS REGISTERED.—GentIemen are re-
quested to Wiserve that these garments in the most useful,
also the finest qualities, In the best workmanship, and at mos' mode-
rate prices, can be had at the REGISTERED SHIRT WARE-
HOUSE, 42, Regent-circus, which has been established under the
mast influential patronage. The attention of the philanthropic
public has been attracted to the degrading system of low wages
pursued for a number of years in this extensive and almost only
branch of fetnale indlistry, the Proprietor begs to state that in the
form of the registered shirt a very great improvement is effected,
and at the same time no absurd novelty is therein introduced, but
that care is taken to preserve the easy looseness so necessary to this
garment, together with a plain smooth setting front, and to retain
this appearance during the whole time In wear. It Is presumed that
this object has not been attained by others commonly in use, sv,:ich,
too often rising in wrinkled folds with the slightest movement of the
body, at once destroys the neat appearance so desirable, yet usually
emitted In this essential but hitherto much neglected article of dress.
But a further and most important advantage is offored ; the material
of, those parts which arc seen when the shirt is worn, viz., the fronts,
collars, and wristbands, are composed of the most beautiful of that
fabric almost the sole manufacture for which Ireland has obtained
celebrity, and the golden flax linen or cambric Is now well known is
be pre-eminent in the purity of its bleach, presenting in those por-
tions of the registered shirt as described a beautiful snow white ap-
pearance. 42, ltegent-circus, being the warehouse for the West-end,
none but the best w..rkers are there emp•oyed remunerative wages
being paid, .notwithstanding which, there is 'no difference in the
gripes between the registered shirt 'n

DUTCH MAIL.
Tax HAGUE, APRIL 6.—ln the sitting of the Second
Chamber of the Stales General on Saturday, the 4th of
April, the project of law, letter A, relative to the sup-
pression of the fund for agriculture, was rejected by a
majority of 45 to 13. After long debates, and a detailed
defence by his Excellency the Minister of the Interior,
the Minister then declared that he was authorised by the
King, to withdraw the other projects of law, connected
with that which had been just discussed. His Excel-
lency then presented a note, which had become necessary
in the projects of law relative to the suppression of the
fund for the national manufactures, which is to be dis-
cussed in the sitting to-day (Monday). In the sitting of
the Second Chamber of the States General to-day, the
project of law for suppressing the fund for national ma-
nufactures, was adopted by a majority of 51 to 3.
The Chamber afterwards opened the debate,
upon the project of law for continuing the road from
the Bosch to Culemborg, which debate will be continued
this evening. In the same sitting, the general report on
the project of law relative to pensions was brought up.
THE HAGUE, APRIL 4 —A year ago the Government
applied to the States General to be authorised to di-
minish for a time, or completely to suppress the transit
duty ; the fixed, and navigation duty levied on the
Rhine by virtue of the convention of Mayence, of the
31st of March, 1831. It was assigned, as a ground for
this application, that some States on the banks of the
Rhine had declared their readines likewise to
abolish those duties. France, Bavaria, and Baden,
were the first to set an example, from which it was
permitted to believe that all these States would perse-
vere in their liberal sentiments, but it was not so. Ba-
varia and Baden did not perform the promises
they had given, respecting the exception from
navigation duty. Acenrdingly, the decrees
of the 19th of March and 12th of April, which granted
in favour of those states the suppression of the fixed
duty, and a diminution of the navigation duty, have not
been carried into execution. The French Government
have given notice that it has completely suppressed all
navigation duties on the Rhine, as far as Dutch ships are
concerned, and that it expects to be treated with entire
reciprocity by the Government of the Netherlands. For
this end the Government has presented to the States
General the following project of law :
We, William IL, &c., and considering that the
French Government no longer levies any navigation duty
upon goods conveyed up the Rhine by Dutch ships, and
that no transit duty is levied in France—with the ad-
vice of the Council of State, and the sanction of the
States General, have decreed and decree as follows :
Art. I. Goods conveyed directly to the Rhine
from the Dutch ports, in French or Dutch vessels,
or those coming from French ports to be
imported into the Netherlands directly, by the
Rhine, in French or Dutch vessels, shall be exempt
from the navigation duties in, the Dutch rivers, as well
as from fixed duty, which is levied in the Netherlands
according to list A, and its exceptions -IL and 111.,
annexed to the Convention of Mayence of the 31st March,
relative to the navigation of the Rhine, modified by the
subsequent Convention between the States on the
banks of the Rhine, dated the 15th of September, 1845,
taking such measures as we shall judge desirable to
prevent abuses.

Art. 11. The exemption granted by the present law
shall remain in force, so long as the French Government
shall grant Dutch ships the exemption from duties above
mentioned.

Art. 111. The present law shall be in force on the
third day after its promulgation in the official journal.
We learn that the magistrates of the city of Am-
sterdam, having been consulted on the plan for forming
a harbour for steam-boats and fishing smacks at
Scheveningen, after consulting the Chamber of Com-
merce and Manufacture, have not only expressed them-
selves in the most favourable manner, but likewise stated
in the strongest terms their opinion of the advantage
which would be derived from the speedy execution of
this plan.
