_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 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.
Tile 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
be obtained, and at a much more moderate rate, it is natural to
expect a great increase in the consumption.
To meet this demand, Mr. L. E. SEIGNETTE has determined to
avail himeif 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 :his country, and, in accordance with the wishes
and recommendations of Ws 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
sat'sfactory. To strangers, who can discriminate the soft and fra-
grant flavour of pure and matured Cognac from the coarse, ardent,
ai.d 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. BEIGNi:ITTE 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.
265. ~ best Pale ditto.
20s. t. best Geneva (llollands).
L liberal allowance to the trade, to wheat Mr. SEIGNETTE takes
,he 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,

TILE HYGEIAN, OR MORISONIAN SYSTEM OF MEDICINE.
I. All animal bodies consist of fluids and solids.
2. While in a state of embryo all animals consist entirely of fluids.
3. It is from and by the fluids that the solids are formed.
4. The fluids contained in the human body are four times the
weight of the solids.
5. The chief of the fluids is the blood, from which all the others
are derived.
6. The blood not only repairs every part of the human machine,
but also carries with it all the rubbish, or decayed parts, to be depo-
sited in the intestines, previous to being expelled along with the
excrement.
7. The blood is the life—the pri►num mobile—the first agent—
from which all others derive their origin.
8. Health depends upon the purity of the blood.
9. The purity of the blood depends upon its having free outlets for
its decayed particles.
10. Disease is induced by the choking up of these outlets in the
bowels, by reason of an accumulation of glary mucous on the inner
surface of the intestines, &c.
11. This accumulation is occasioned by anything that weakens the
circulation or hurts digestion, but chiefly by the poisonous drugs and
bad treatment of the faculty.
12. The impurities thus detained in the blood occasion every spe-
cies of disease, according to the quality of the humour, or the parti-
cular locality in which it is lodged.
13. AR diseases proceed from one source, therefore they must all
be cured by one medicine.
14. Tilts medicine must be a vegetable purgative, innoxious in it-
self, yet sufficiently powerful to pervade the whole system, clear
away the above-mentioned mucous, and purify the blood.
15. The discovery of a vegetable compound, capable of being di-
gested, and mixing with the blood, so as to impart to it that energy
requisite for ridding the body of all superfluous humours was a
desideratum.
16. This discovery has been made by James Morison, the Nygeist,
in the composition of Morison's Pills, the Vegetable Universal Medi-
cine of the British College of Health, Hamilton-place, New-road,
London.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, MARCH 24.—The market to-day has not
presented the slightest appearance of improvement. The
demand both for goods and yarn, continues very limited;
and the gradual increase of stocks in the hands of spinners
and manufacturers produces a tendency to lower prices,
though there is no marked change in general quotations.
Unc'er these circumstances, very great anxiety is naturally
felt for the speedy passing of the important measures now
before Parliament.
ROCHDALE, MARCH 23.—We have had a better demand
for flannels to-day, but no improvement in prices. Wool still
remains difficult of sale at former rates.
LEEDS, MARCH 24.—We are unable to report any indi-
cation of improvement in our markets, which remain much
in the same state of inactivity as hitherto. Stocks on hand
are, however, not so heavy as one might suppose from the
protracted stagnation ; and our manufacturers will not, in
this respect, suffer to any extent, by the reduced value of
every description of goods. The next accounts from America
are looked for- with great anxiety; should they prove fa-
vourable, an immediate stimulus to trade is sure to be im-
parted.
HUDDERSFIELD, MARCH 24.—Many buyers have attended
to-day's market, and fancy goods for the home trade and
those adapted for shipment to America have been extensively
bought. Much surprise is expressed at the Smallness of the
stocks on hand.—Manchester Guardian.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]-DR. BINN3 AND HOLLOWAY
.OINTMENT.—Dr. Binns, who is one of the principal physicians in the
isl And of Jamaica, has expressed himself In the following manner
respecting the surprising healing properties of Holloway's Oint-
ment:—" I have made many trials of this ointment in cases of
chronic ulcers, which several years' experience In the West Indies
taught me to consider as incurable. lam now happy
all cases it was really and truly efficacious." (Signed) "E. Binns,
M.D., F.S.A., 5.C.0." Holloway's Ointment will cure bad legs,
however long standing, likewise the most obstinate cases of king's
evil or scrofula.— Sold by all medicine vendors, and at Professor Hol-
oway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. to say that in
Elle meeting of the Irish Members was held at the
Reform Club last evening. We understand it was determined that
upon the motion being made for reading the Coercion Bill a first time,
an amendment will be moved to postpone the first stage of the Bill
until after the pulsing of the Oem Sall.
