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, butif adulterated with British when new it is deficient in its
good and medicinal properties ; while,
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,
many
Brandy,
and the high duty charged upon it, have hitherto pre
persons from using it; but now that a good and genuine articlee 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, is 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 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 fin
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 Gallen for best Brown Cognac Brandy.
265. best Pale Ditto.
20s. best Geneva (Hollands).
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.

,ONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.
a The Committee of Shareholders direct the attention of the
Proprietary to an advertisement, by which, it appears, the Directors
of this Company have convened a Public Meeting of the Shareholders
for SATURDAY, the 30th Instant. The Committee have confidence in
the integrity and character of the Directors, but fear they do not suf-
ficiently estimate the financial and other difficulties which will im-
pede the construction of so large a work, and the great relief which
would arise to the Shareholders by an amalgamation with an estab-
lished dividend-paying company.
There is little doubt that a complete consolidation of interests with
the Eastern Counties Company might be effected, the liability on the
Shares thereby decreased, and their value improved ; and that, if the
Directors were convinced It was the wish of the larger portion of
the Shareholders, they would feel it their duty to effect such an ar-
rangement.

The Committee have throughout only sought to attain this object,
arid they now urge the Shareholders personally to attend at the
meeting, and if they vote for the continuance of the project to do so,
accompanied with some suitable expression of their opinion on the
advantage of amalgamation.
It is necessary for every proprietor, who wishes to vote at the
meeting, to attend personally with his scrip, or to entrust it to a
friend. Those proprietors who may desire to be represented by the
Comm ttee, are requested to send their scrip, addressed to Mr. H.
Phillipps, No. 4, Size-lane, London, on or before THURSDAY next,
when a proper receipt will be given, and the scrip returned imme-
diately after the meeting.

PROSPECTUS.

Pwblic attention is naturally directed to the continent of India, in
these times of speculative enterprise, as a new and unexplored field
for the investment of capital, from the conviction that the yet unde-
veloped resources of its wealth, its Industry, and its productive
power, will richly and amply remunerate the speculator.
The millions who people that vast and fertile region of the globe,
only require the impulse of enterprise to call forth the almost bound-
less riches that Immediately surround them ; and were they possessed
of that great artery of eivillsatiou—ralliumis —the ...-ron * or their
political and industrial strength would instantly become enlarged, not
only in volume, but in richness also.

If we glance at the continent of India, we find our power mainly
concentrated on three points on the coast—Calcutta, Madras, and
Bombay, which form an irregular triangle, the base of which may
be termed Madras and Calcutta, and the apex Bombay; and the
great bulk of the wealth and physical power of India is inclosed
within that figure; therefore, it becomes a matter of the primest im-
portance to have the intersecting lines of our empire as perfect as
possible, so that our power may be felt at every point, and our in-
fluence extended to every part. From the want of this concentrative
power, India has become almost a burden to the mother country,
barely paying its executive administration in lieu of being a lucrative
possession —a wealth-yielding appendage.
To obviate this great and glaring defect in our Anglo-Indian em-
pire, it is only necessary to extend to her the same means of com-
munication that we possess at home ; to bring, in short, the great
centres of her internal power nearer' to each other ; and, instead of
depending upon her rivers as lines of traffic and intercourse, she
aught to have a well-arranged network of railway extending over
her surface; then she would increase in power, and augment in
riches.

The Direct Bombay and Madras Railway is projected to carry out,
in part, this noble scheme ; and a single glance at the map must
convince the most cautious calculator that the project is well founded,
and the line of route happily chosen to effect its purpose; as it will
intersect the most wealthy and industrious provinces of the continent
of India, the Carnatic, and the Mysore, which abound in natural
productions, in manufacturing industry, and in agricnitural wealth.
The two great Presidencies of Madras and Bombay will be brought
within a few hours' journey of each other, and not months, as here-
tofore ; and, in lieu of vessels making a long and dangerous voyage
of some 5,400 miles half round the entire peninsula of India, their
c3stly cargoes may be easily conveyed to Bombay for shipment, in a
less number of hours than the voyage occupies days ; thus avoiding
all risks of damage, peculation, wear, and tear, &c., which in general
characterise these voyages. The saving of insurance will also be
immense—a matter of first-rate importance.
In a political and military point of view, the line must be of almost
incalculable importance, as it will intersect the great depots of the
East India Company, and afford at all times a ready and prompt
conveyance for troops, baggage, stores, artillery, and that cumbrous
materiel which invariably attend their march ; and, above all, it will
prove of the utmost utility to the Indian Government, in the distri-
bution of their forces among the various military posts of the three
Presidencies, and for their rapid concentration on any required point,
the want of which was so distinctly shown in the late' calamitous
events on the Sutlej, and the consequent fearful sacrifice of life.
The district traversed by the Direct Bombay and Madras Railway
contains upwards of 30,0,..,0,000 of inhabitants ; and the wants and
industry of this large body already yield a considerable tonnage,
al hough in a com.parative state of barbarous communication. In
the report of the Bombay Chamber of Commerce, we find that the
traffic to and from that City amounts to 187,343 tons annually, con-
sisting chiefly of cotton and salt. These two items form merely a
fraction of the requirements of the Indians. Bombay is unapproach-
able except by a dangerous and expensive sea-board, and a cheap and
safe communication can alone render available her internal resources.
Cotton has now to be transported 500 miles to the coast, to reach
Bombay for shipment. A railway would naturally obviate so cir-
cuitous and expensive a route. Some idea may be formed of the de-
struction and delay occasioned by these journeys, when we state
that the cotton is carried on the backs of oxen, at the rate of 10
miles per day, which enormously augments Its shipment price. The
present cost of conveyance from Nagpore to the port of shipment is
from 141. to 2('l. a ton, and the charge by rail of 2d a tort per mile would
amount to 41. 3s. 4d., a considerable difference. The same facts pre-
vail in regard to silk and other commodities, which are of the first
importance to our manufacturing interests.
This line will also bring nearer to us the fine island of Ceylon, with
all its rich productions, commencing as it will at Madras, and taking in
its course Arcot, Vellore, Banglore, Oscotta, Bangalore, Sera, Dodairee,
Hurrioor, Ghittledroog, Myacunda, Anagee, Hurryhur, Shahnoor,
Hullyhall, Hoobly, Darwar, Taloor, Gohauk, Rybaugh, Meeruj, Kola-
poor, Satara, Poona, Poonah, Tulligaon, Singhur, Callianee, Basseen,
Salsette, and Bombay; thus absorbing the interests and traffic of up-
wards of 30 first-rate cities, and from 400 to 500 towns in the most
densely populated part of India, facilitating the conveyance of cotton,
coffee, tobacco, opium, sugar, silk, senna, gum, cassia, dye-woods,
hides, furs, lac, betel nut, saltpetre, spices, fire-woad, charcoal, coal,
corn, and various kinds of grain, indigo, &c., and the imports of
treasure, manufactured and other goods, salt, ice, &c.
The passenger traffic alone, according to reasonable and carefal
calculation, will yield an ample per tentage on the capital raised;
and the immense tonnage of merchandise and raw produce must
insure to the shareholders a profit beyond even the first-rate lines of
England,
Tke promoters of the present scheme have received intelligence
fr om their agents that the line presents no engineering difficulties,
and that the cost of construction must be moderate, labour being
plentiful, and the purchase of land comparatively trifling, and wood,
coal, and iron abounding in the immediate neighbourhood of the
whole line.
The management of the Company will be vested in a Board of Di-
rectors in London, In connexion with an influential branch both in
Bombay and Madras.
Care will be taken, in the act constituting the Company, that the
responsibility of the Shareholders shall be limited to the amount of
their subscriptions; and four per cent. interest will be paid upon the
capital advanced up to the time of construction. The Directors also
beg to call especial attention to the principle by which allottees in this
Company are protected from an objectionable responsibility, by the
condition that their application for shares will not be considered
binding upon them, should they afterwards decline to pay the de-
_.

posits requi: ed at the time specified in their letters of allOti-neni.

. .
A reserve of 40,000 shares will be made for India, which the pro-
jectors have much pleasure in stating will scarcely suffice for the

demand already made.
