THE BRANDY QUESTION.

A T THIS PARTICULAR SEASON when
1-1 BRANDY is so frequently prescribed in urgent Medical
Cases ; when Fruits, confections, and home-made wines require
its fortifying aid; when in dilution it affords a common beverage
so much more grateful than any kind of malt liquor ; and when,
(considering the liability to sudden attacks of indisposition,) no
family ought to be without Brandy in the house ; the question is—
Where is truly excellent Brandy to be procured?
The lAIPROVED PATENT BRANDY, peculiarly adapted
to all the above purposes, is positively not distinguishable from real
Cognac Brandy, but essentially more pure, and more salutary in its
effects ! Imperial Gallon, 18s. ; pint, 2s. 3d. sealed bottles, 3s. 6d.
each, or 40s. per dozen, bottles included. To prevent mistakes, or
imposition, it is advisable to transmit orders by post, and to observe
that every bottle be sealed, labelled, and inscribed with the signature
of " HENRY BRETT, Brandy Merchant, No. 109, Drury-lane."
N.B.—No. 109.
A liberal allowance to the Trade.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.

The settling for the Goodwood Races attracted a full attendance,
and the process of paying and receiving occupied nearly the whole
of the afternoon ; the accounts were very heavy, and the adjustment
of them about as conclusive as we have generally found to be the
case after the Derby or Leger, many of them remaining in a very
unsettled state. Towards the close of the evening some tolerably
brisk betting took place on the Doncaster St. Leger at the follow-
ing prices :---
2 to 1 agst Mr. Batson's Plenipotentiary
13 to 2 agst Mr Heseltine's Warlaby Baylock
8 to 1 agst Lord Sligo's Bran
10 to 1 agst Duke of Cleveland's Shelelah (taken)
15 to 1 agst Mr. Watt's Bubastes (taken)
15 to 1 agst Mr. Powlett's colt
16 to 1 agst Sir J. Boswell's General Chasse (taken).
16 to 1 agst Lord Westminster's Touchstone (taken)
25 to 1 agst Mr. Walker's Cotillon (taken)
27 to 1 agst Duke of Cleveland's Bequest.
30 to 1 agst Mr. Marson's Louden
40 to 1 agst Mr. Skipsey's Inheritor
40 to 1 agst Mr. Walker's Delirium
3000 to 90 agst. Mr. Ridsdale's Marcellina (taken)

BANKSIDEREGATTA.
This Scullers' wager, announced for yesterday, terminated, as
usual, in a wrangle. The second heat was disputed in consequence
of the start. The pistol had missed fire, but all went off excepting
one, who, after a few strokes, declared it was a false start ; and the
grand heat is to be rowed on some other occasion. These wrangles
are disgusting the patrons of river sports.

NATIONAL DEBT OF PRUSSIA.—The Directors
of the National Debt of Prussia have just published a state-
ment, from which it appears, that on the Ist of January, 1833,
the debt amounted to 174,868,830 thalers (about 656,000,000
francs).

VICE-CHANCERY COURT, AUG. 4.

SERIDGE V. WILLIAMS.

Sir E. SUODRN moved on the part of the defendant, a lime-
' burner at Barnet, to dissolve the injunction against him from
working certain chalk and sandpits at Shenley, in Hertford-
shire. He stated it had been agreed on that during a contract
between him and the plaintiff for the sale of a small estate, in
which these pits were situate, he, the vender, should continue
carrying on his trade and business in the usual manner. The
chalkpit he was restrained by the injunction from working he
purchased in November, 1833, and the agreement for the sale
was made in April, 1834. In January, 1834, he had brought
an 'action against a lime-burner of the name of Ellingford,
whose works adjoined his own, and who was a tenant of the
plaintiff in this cause, for injury done to the chalk pit in ques-
tion ; and in order to keep it in the same state, and prove the
damages, he had planked it over, but denied, as was stated in
the affidavits on the part of the plaintiff, that he had bricked it
up. The amount of the chalk he had procured from it was of
the value of about eighteenpence, though he had been pre-
viously in the habit of working it to a much larger amount.
His HONOUR said the only question was, what was the true
meaning of the agreement that the trade and business was to
be carried on in the usual manner. ,

Sir E. SUDDEN then asked the injunction to be dissolved as
regarded the sandpit, the affidavits concerning which he had
read to the Court.

His HONOUR was willing to hear Counsel for the plaintiff
on that point, but expressed a hope that the parties would come
to some arrangement. . _

Mr. KNIGHT said the plaintiff was ready to complete the
purchase, and put an end to the controversy.
The parties, while Mr. Knight was reading his affidavits
upon the question of the sandpit, went out together to comply,
kie possible, with the wish of the Court.
