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 Bekish
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 ion,' 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 enabls 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 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
aro—

245. per Gallon for best Brown Cognac Brandy.
265. r, best Pale Ditto.
20s. t, best Geneva (Ilollands).
A liberal allowance to the Trade, to whom Mr. Seignette takes the
opportunity of °flab-1g his Brandies and Geneva in bond at current
market prices.

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. Alt diseases proceed from one source, therefore they must all
be cured by one medicine.
14. This 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 purifyt be 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, 14Yr-road,

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.
The other portions of the line will open a direct communication
in conjunction with the Caledonian Railway from the important
town and neighbourhood of Ayr, with Edinburgh on one hand, and
Carlisle and the manufacturing districts of England on the other.
These lines also pass through extensive mineral fields, and the local
traffic will be considerable, but the Directors do not look on the im-
mediate formation of these works as equally pressing, inasmuch
as the traffic cannot be completely developed until after the com-
pletion of the Edinburgh branch of the Caledonian Railway.
Under these circumstances it will not be necessary to press incon-
veniently on the shareholders by early or frequent nails.
1 question will come before the meeting as to the propriety
of
inserting a clause in the Bill, authorising the Directors te allow in-
terest on the amount of calls from the date of payment.
