ASPECIAL CAUTlON.—Whereas numerous
frauds are constantly practised by persons, substituting for
Betts' Patent French Distilled Brandy, articles spurious in their
character, and decidedly inferior in all their qualities ; and the con-
tinuance of such practices, when undetected, being naturally calcu-
lated to create a prejudice against the legitimate article, J. T.
BETTS and CO. may stand excused for earnestly cautioning the
public against forming any opinion of what may be represented as
their Brandy, without previously satisfying themselves of its identity.
Whenever this is done they feel assured that any existing prejudice,
however deeply rooted, must yield to the manifest superiority of its
quality ; and the wide difference between their's, and the articles
thus fraudulently substituted for it, will, by comparisnn, be ren-
dered apparent to even the least experienced persons:• By this test,
and upon intrinsic merits of their Brandy, they are perfectly
willing that it should s,tarid,or,fall.
. .

It is not without some degree of reluctance that J. T. Betts
and Co. again press upon public attention. the subjoined testimo-
nials, selected from many others of eminent chemists, by whom
their Brandy has been analyzed—but the continuance of the frauds
to which they have here adverted, compel them to adduce in its fa-
vour the evidence of names whose high character and talent are be-
yond all question.

EXTRACTS FROM TESTIMONIALS.

" Your Brandy is fre.l from uncombined acid and astringent
matter, which exists more or less in most of the brandies imported
from France.

" JOHN THOMAS COOPER,
" To Mr. Betts." " Lecturer on Chemistry.
" I am bound to say, and do assert it with confidence, that for
purity of spirit this cannot be surpassed, and that your patent
Brandy is also quite free from those acids which, though minute in
quantity, always contaminate the foreign spirit...

"JOSEPH HUME,
" J. T. Betts, Esq." " Chemist to his Majesty.
J. T. Betts and Co. may further be allowed .to state, that they
are not connected with any other house, and that they do not sell
any other article than Brandy, which is of the highest legal strength,
and may, at all times, be tasted at their distillery, No. 7, Smith-
field-bars, their only establishment ; where it may be had, either
pale or coloured, at 18s. per imperial gallon, sent to any part of
town, in quantities not less than two gallons, for cash on delivery.

ST. GEORGE'S CHAPEL.

The preparations in the chapel were on a much less exten-
sive scale (as far as mourning decorations were concerned)
than at any of the Royal funerals for some years. The Chapel,
by its Castle approaches from the yard, were hung with black,
and a boarded passage, by which the coffin was to be brought
into the choir, was also similarly covered.
The Body being placed on the tressels, the Chief Mourner,
the Duke of Sussex, took his place at the head of the corpse.
Among the persons in attendance in the choir, we noticed the
Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Devonshire, (who offi-
ciated as Lord Chamberlain), Lord. Hill, Lord Rosslyn, Lord
Verulam, Lord Jersey, Lord Maryborough, Sir James Scar-
lett, and several other distinguished individuals. We should
have mentioned that the body was borne into the Church by
two parties of the Scots Fusiliers, who were selected as the
most deserving men of the regiment.
The Chief Mourner having taken his seat, the choir, ac-
companied by the organ, chaunted a hymn, after which the
Dean read the first part of the burial service. When that
was done the choir chaunted another hymn, after which the
Dean came from the communion table into the body of the
Chapel. The coffin was then lifted from its tressels and
placed alongside of the vault, and after the rest of the burial
service was concluded it was lowered into the vault. Sir
George Naylor then read the style and titles of the late
Prince, after which the ceremony concluded, and the company
in the Chapel, which was select and numerous, departed.
The crowd outside the Chapel was not very great at any
time during the evening. It was near eleven before the cere-
mony was over.

These designs comprised a plan of a House of
Commons of most convenient and beautiful ar-
rangements. Yet the intention of erecting a truly
national edifice for the Legislature was somehow or
other. thwarted by the spirit of jobbing. From that.
time to the present the changes which have been made
in the old Palace of Westminster, in cobbling and
vamping apartments never intended for the purpose, to
adapt them to the accommodation of the Legislature,
have probably cost the nation half a million of mo-
ney ! In our columns to-day will be found a letter
from the able architect Mr. Cottingham, known for
his restoration of Rochester Cathedral, his works on
the University of Oxford, and Armagh Cathedral.
He states that he has the original designs of Kent in
his possession--'' .;;se drawn by himself and never pub-
lished—'and certainly government ought, at least, to be
in possession of those designs at the present moment.
Even Mr. Hume, to whom they were shown some time
ag-o, expressed the same opinion upon seeing them.
We question if there is an architect whom government
employs at the present day capable of making such de-
signs—at least, none of the modern public works allow
u:-; to think so. Of Kent'sdesigns Mr. Cottingham says,
" Old Palace-yard was intended to be greatly enlarged,
the new buildings to present a grand facade next the
Thames, and the splendid chapel of St. Stephen to be re-
tained.. The arrangement of those plans is truly admira-
ble, every convenience for such an august establishment
being amply provided for. They received the approbation
of the Lords Commissioners and Mr. Speaker Onslow."
Fully do we agree with him when he says " that the
execution of this grand design should have been aban-
doned, and the bit-by-bit system adopted, is sincerely
to be regretted ; but the ground is a:ow cleared, and I
Lope a building will soon arise in character with the
stately Hall and venerable Abbey, that will do justice
to. the taste and feeling of the nation." When we
think what it has cost the nation to build Bucking-
ham Palace, and look on what it is, we cannot say it
is any consideration of economy that prevents our pa-
laces and public buildings of modern date from rival-
ling the grand and beautiful monuments of the archi-
tectural genius of our forefathers. Westminster Hall
and Westminster Abbey now look down iii sublime
dui•ability upon the ruins of the modern structures
that' have perished beneath them, though seven or
eight .centuries of time, with its storms and sunshine,
have -rolled over their battlements. Thus did they
build of old for remote posterity, and we are glad to
find_ that even now, while the lath and plaister excre-
sclaaes have been swept away, there remains enough
• of the ancient chapel of St. Stephen to serve -for the
plypnse of its complete restoration, and, by Kent's
plart*•it was intended to be preserved.—Morn. Herald.

LAMBETH-STREET.

THE POOR LAWSBILII—J —aTnesOverall, an engineer,
on board the Royal Star, Lisbon steamer, was brought up
by Waring, the beadle of St. Anne's, Limehouse, for the

purpose of having an order of affiliation made upon him for
the maintenance of an illegitimate child.
Waring stated that since the apprehension of the defen-
dant a circumstance came to his knowledge of which he had
not previously been aware, namely; that the mother of the
child was married on Sunday last. In consequence of such
marriage the defendant was, he thought, under one of the
clauses in the New Poor Law Bill, not liable to the support
of the child, as it was incumbent on the person who had
married its mother to do so. Waring here handed to the
Bench the Act of Parliament, and directed the Magistrate's
attention to the 57th clause.

The mother of the child was a widow at the time of her
connection with the defendant, and had two legitimate chil-
dren by her former husband, whose name was Ruston. She
also stated that she was married to a labourer in the docks,
named John Collins, at Stepney Church, on Sunday morn-
ing last.

The Magistrates, under the law, could make no order.

HATTOIV-GARDEN.
A fine-looking woman, about 28 years of age, was brough
before Mr. LAING.

A policeman on the previous evening saw the defendant
in St. John-street, Clerkenwell, holding forth to a mob of
persons relative to the good effects of imprisonment. She
was drunk, and would not leave the spot, therefore he took
her into custody.

Mr. LAING (to the prisoner)—What is your name ?
Prisoner—My name ? Why, Ann Lee, to be sure.
Mr. Mole; the clerk, here said to her—Come, give your
proper name. Prisoner—l want no lip from you, so shut up.
Mr. LAING—HoId your tongue. Prisoner—lf you want
to make me keep it, still you must deprive me of the use of
it, old bald pate.
Mr. LAING again asked her her name. Prisoner—lt is
Mary Bond.
___ _

Mr. Mole—That is correct (to Mr. Laing). She is the
terror of the licensed victuallers in Westminster, and has
been to Queen-square, I should think, one hundred times
for smashing the windows of different tradesmen in that
district.

Prisoner—That's all true, and I mean to do it again, for
I like to visit prisons, and I intend to get sent to every one
in England before I have done.

Mr: LAING held her to bail.

MAR YLEB ONE.

Last Wednesday, the Reporter who was excluded from
Marylebone-office by Mr. SHUTT, on Thursday, the 9th
instant, addressed a letter to Mr. Spring Rice, from whom
he received on Saturday the subjoined reply on the subject :
" In reply to a letter which Mr. G. addressed to Mr. S.
Rice, Mr. Phillips acquaints him that he is informed if Mr.
G. wishes to attend at the -Police-office, Marylebone, he will

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 23.

Since M. Boutenieff's return extraordinary activity
and bustle of business have reigned in the bureaux of
the Russian legation. The presence of their former
leader seems to have recalled into life the dormant zeal
and energies of the host of dragomans, agents, and
spies in the pay of Russia, and gifted them with a
courage that bids defiance to the dangers of contagion,
and an activity which no fatigue can exhaust. At
every hour of the day they are to be seen at the Porte,
at the Palace, at the Arsenal, at the Seraskier's—
here, furtively entering the house of some of their
most influential partisans among the Turks,—there, in
a mysterious and impressive manner, carrying on con-
versation with a member of the Divan. Messengers
are despatched after messengers, steam-boats after
steam-boats; in one word, the population of this capital
have hourly before their eyes indications that some
event of the highest consequence to Russia is forth-
coming. In support of this conclusion are brought the
following facts :—Provisions to a very large amount
have been purchased and laid in store by the agents
Russia has appointed in every district or town of any
importance in Roumelia ; numerous cargoes of provi-
sions have been sent from Eupatoria, Kaffa, Tagan-
rock, and Odessa, to Silistria and other fortresses on
the Danube. Apprehensive lest the three years' stock
of provisions Wallachia and Moldavia are bound to
keep should not suffice for the maintenance of their
populations, the humane Consul-General of Russia
has been instrumental in causing the exportation of
corn from the provinces to be prohibited. This mea-
sure, in justice it must be observed, is to remain in vi-
gour only till the approach of the season when the
freezing up of the Danube, and the tempests on the
Euxine, render navigation impracticable-1. e., till the
return of the spring. Fresh troops have been marched
into Bessarabia and the Crimea, the whole of Russia's
maritime force in the Black Sea is ready, and additional
fortifications have been erected to defend the entrance
of the harbour of Sebastopol.
The denouement of the Russian drama's plot is evi-
dently drawing nigh, and the actors who are to take
part in its last act are preparing to make their appear-
ance on the scene and invite Europe to the plaudite.

WINDSOR, OcT. 19.

Their Majesties returned from London last night about half-
past eight o'clock.
This morning the troops assembled in the quadrangle of the
Castle, but were almost instantly dismissed. Divine Service
was performed in the private chapel of the Castle to their Ma-
jesties and the Royal Household.
The carriages were in attendance to convey their Majesties
to St. George's Chapel, but they were sent away.
Great anxiety was felt here on Thursday night, until the
arrival from town of the messenger in a chaise and four, with
dispatches from Lord Melbourne for the King, the fire in
London having been visible during the night from the Castle.
The King will go to town on Wednesday.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

Gibbon Fitzgibbon, an Irishman, was brought before Mr.
CONANT by the officers of the Mendicity Society on sus-
picion of being an iinposter, and with having levied contri-
butions by begging letters on a great number of the nobi-
lity and gentry.
In defence, the prisoner had been a sargeant in the 27th
regiment ; had been wounded at the battle of Alexandria,
and was now in the receipt of one shilling a day pension.
This sum was not adequate to maintain his family and him-
self, especially as he was under the doctor's hal. ls, and he
thought there was no harm in asking for a trifle from people
of humanity to assist him. He hoped as it was the first
time he had been detected that the Magistrates would deal
leniently with him.

Knyvett, manager of the Mendicity Society, put a
letter into the Magistrate's hands which had been sent to the
Society, and which described the prisoner to be one of the
most artful and ingenious imposters now preying on the
humane portion of the public.
A long list of the individuals whom he had practised upon
was appended to the letter. Among the names were those
of the Earl of Bandon, Earl of Caledon, Earl of Cholmon-
deley, the Bishop of Lichfield, the Bishop of Salisbury, the
Bishop of London, Lord Henley, Sir G. Rose, Mr. Spencer
Percival, Mr. Pell Platt, &c. &c. The latter also stated
that the prisoner had been serjeant in the 58th Regiment
and not the 27th, as he stated. •
At the request of the Society, the prisoner was remanded
for a few days.

OLD BAILEY, OCT. 18.

(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
Benjamin Underwood alias Nicholson, was capitally in-
dicted for assaulting and robbing Mary Scully on the 14th
ult. The prosecutrix, a country-looking young woman, was
the wife of Edward Scully, a tailor, residing in Tender-
court, Old-street. On Sunday, the 14th ult., she was
passing through Field-lane, Holborn, when, seeing a female
sitting at the door, she asked permission to enter. On leav-
ing, witness was met by the same female, who asked her for
something to drink for her civility. Prosecutrix complied,
and sat down in the room while some gin was sent for. The
woman and the prisoner drank the liquor between them,
prosecutrix refusing to partake of it. Another female en-
tered the room at this time, and, seeing prosecutrix, ex-
claimed with an oath, " You've been robbing my husband,"
and immediately struck her. The prisoner struck her also.
One of the women forced some money from her hand, which
the prisoner put in his pocket, and with a violent blow on
the face knocked her off the chair. While lying on the
floor the prisoner kicked her and continued to beat her.
She was picked up and placed on a chair, and then the two
women and the prisoner fell upon her, and tore nearly all
her clothes off her back. Prosecutrix fainted, and when
she recovered heard the prisoner say, in answer to a ques-
tion, " Yes, and she shall be murdered before she leaves
the place." They then locked the door, and one of the wo-
men threw away two basins full of blood, which had come
from the prosecutrix. The injuries she had received caused
her to be confined in the hospital up to the present time.
On her cross-examination she denied that she was awar
that the house was one of ill fame.

The COMMON-SERGEANT remarked that it was by far
the most serious case he had tried during the sessions, and
as the prisoner's life appeared to be in danger, time ought
not to be spared to ascertain the truth of the case.
A policeman went to the house about four hours after,
and saw the prosecutrix sitting in the yard washing her-
self, assisted by two females. She was covered with blood.
The prosecutrix said the prisoner had nearly murdered her,
and he took him into custody. The yard of the house and
the room was covered with blood.

The Jury, after some deliberation, returned a ♦erdict of
Guilty.
The COMMON-SERGEANT—Underwood, you have been
before convicted, and I would now reccommend you to
prepare yourself. I am unable to tell what your fate will be.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILD-HALL.

A letter was received from Blanchard, the comedian,
now a prisoner in the Fleet, respecting his claim to the gaol
allowance of 6d. a day, which he now declines accepting.
He says that having subsisted without it for the last eight
weeks, he can very well decline the allowance during the
three weeks he has to remain, and he regrets that he made
any application for it.

name of the nation,- erect an edifice worthy of the
greatness, the glory, and the freedom of the British
people.

Mr. O'CONNELL has addressed another letter (we
believe the fourth) to Lord DUNCANNON, in which
he tells his Lordship that he has been most grievously
deceived in every expectation he had formed of
him ; and that unhappy Ireland has no longer
any thing to hope from his administration. The
letter is in Mr. O'CONNELL'S usual manner, in-
culcating moderation in terms calculated to call forth
all the fiercest passions of his countrymen. Towards
the close of it, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman
avows himself a " DUR II A MITE," and has thus, within

the short space of one month, boxed the political com-
pass ! Four weeks ago he was a Ministerialist ; three
weeks ago he was a half-Ministerialist ; two weeks
ago, he was a Neither-This-nor-That-ite ; and now he
is a Durhamite. The last change has been evidently
brought about by the Rent, which always influences
DANIEL'S autumnal tom-fooleries. Not one spark of
sincerity is there in any one thing he says or does on po-
litical matters. He is sincere only in his desire to
squeeze as much money out of his countrymen as
lie can. For the next two or three months, we
may expect to find him throwing all Ireland into
agitation by his Repeal phillippics, till the Rent
being all got in, he will moderate his tone, and
let the great question drop till the following
autumn, when the same farce will be repeated—but,
we trust, not with the same success. By the vehe-
mence of Mr. O'CoNNELL's last letter, we take for
granted that he looks to a more than usually large in-
crease of Rent. We always judge of his hopes
on this score by his epistles, which are
long or short, tame or ferocious, just as
the Rent bids fair to turn out well or ill. It
is now looking up—at least we judge so from the

heading which Mr. O'CONNELL has affixed to his
present epistle—viz., " HURRAH FOR REPEAL ! ! !
Wild Irish cry ;" but which would have been far more
in character if " Rent" had been substituted for
" Repeal."

BO W-STREET.

Thomas Rae, who has undergone turd examinations at
this office,- on a charge of absconding from his employers,
Messrs. Mather and Co., merchants, of Glasgow, with up-
wards of 1,000/. in money, their property, was finally ex-
amined at this office before Mr. MINSHULL.

Mr. Miller, the high constable of Glasgow, who had ar-
rived in town since the apprehension of the prisoner, was in
attendance, and produced the warrant signed by the Glas-
gow Magistrates, upon which the prisoner was delivered into
his custody to be conveyed to Glasgow, where the necessary
examination previous to the committal of the prisoner for
trial will take place.
Mr. Miller then left the office, accompanied by the pri-
soner, whom it was his intention to carry by the James Walt
steamer to Edinburgh, and from thence to Glasgow.

BERLIN, OCT. 9.—The Dorpat Journal announces, as
a private communication from St. Petersburgh, of the 23d
September :—" The shares in the fire-office fell yesterday
to 1,000 rubles (they were on the 20th at 1,045 rubles),
in consequence of the news of another fire at Tula, by
which it is said 1,000 houses were destroyed."
RIGA, OCT. I.—The winter seems destined to set in
early. The evening before yesterday the roofs of this city
were covered with hail two inches deep, and to-day we have
had a considerable fall of snow. The thermometer is at zero.
ST. PETERSBURG, OCT. 4.—His Majesty has ordered
that Prince Dadian, son of the deceased Regent of Alingu-
lia, shall have the title of Serene Highness Prince of Min-
gulia, but that, as brother of the present Regent of Min-
gulia, this title is only personal to himself, not hereditary.

town of Wenersborg was almost entirely destroyed by fire.
VIENNA, OCT. s.—The intercourse between the Orisons
and Austrian Italy, is replaced on its old footing.
HAMBURG, OCT. 13.—The Saxon post-office at Leipzig
has given notice of a late communication from the Imperial
chief post-office at Vienna, that there is no regular post
between Vienna and Turkey, except to Constantinople,
Smyrna, Thessalonia and Seres, and therefore letters to any
other place in Turkey run the risk of laying a long time,
or perhaps being entirely lost, in one of these four cities,
unless they are directed to some person resident there, to
be forwarded to their destination.
OCT. 14.—Letters from Leipzig of the 10th say, that on
the 9th, in the afternoon, a fire had broken out at Auers-
back, in the Vocgsland, and that when the news came away,
the fire unhappily was still raging, and had already de-
stroyed 100 buildings.

THE KING'S ANSWER.

" I receive with pleasure the wishes you express, in the
name of the diplomatic body, for France, for my family,
and for myseif. Ys.o know the desires I have ever
cherished for the maintenance of peace, and my constant
efforts to obtain that most desirable object. It is, above
all things, in the duration of peace that its inestimable
benefits can be developed. The assurances you renew
will confirm effectually the general security, by manifest-
ing the unanimous resolution of all the S svereigns to art
with the wishes of their people, in preserving prace, and
in defending the established order of things, of which it is
the surest guarantee. This is an additional motive for
my receiving with heartfelt satisfaction the congratulations
you offer me, for which I thank you sincerely."

BARON PASQUIER, IN THE NAME OF THE
CHAMBER OF PEERS.

" Sire,—On this day in the last year the Chamber of
Peers, when bringing to your Majesty its annual tribtre of
respectful homage, had to congratulate you on many diffi-
culties having been overcome, and on the honour acquired
by your sons in the midst of danger. It approaches yon
to-day under even more happy auspices, rejoicing. in a
state still more and more prosperous. At home the rocks
of danger have not only been escaped, but the greater part
of them have, in a measure, disappeared. If some of their
points are still to be perceived, they are too completely ex-
posed for the vessel of the state to receive any damage from
them. Abroad have we not the best and most solid rea-
sons for believing that France is not again for a long time
destined to run those glorious risks which would not shake
that noble courage to whose first display I have already
alluded, and which would again go out to meet them with
the same ardour? But let us be allowed to be ambitious of
less—ns conscript fathers, us veterans of the country, who
have learned from long experience that peace, when pro-
duced by moderation and good faith, combined with strength
and courage, is the greatest blessing any country or nation
can enjoy. For this blessing, this precious security whicla
surrounds us, we have to address you, Sire; for we owe
it to your prudence, your deep respect for engagements
entered into, and sworn to—to your spirit of justice and
your enlightened love fur a generous people so worthy of
being beloved, whose happiness Providence has committed
to your care. May you live, Sire, to continue to strengthen
and consolidate this happiness, and deign to receive with
the gracious benevolence which characterises you, wishes
which the Chamber of Peers will never cease to entertain
for the preservation of a life, the value of which is so uni •
versslly acknowledged."
London, England, 1834-01-06

HIS MAJESTY'S ANSWER.

" I am affected by the wishes you express, in the name
of the Chamber of Peers, for my family and myself. I
equally feel your congratulations on the successes we have
obtained during the year which has just concluded, on
the happiness we experience in seeing France recovered front
the stocks she has sustained, and enjoying abroad peace and
respect. As you well say, France is in possession of the
greatest of all blessings. Her internal prosperity is increas-
ing in the midst of public security ; and her liberty, freed
from disturbance and agitation, has become a guarantee for
the rights of all, without compromising those of individuals.
The wisdom and experience of the Chamber of Peers has
largely contributed to produce these happy results. I take
pleasure in thanking it, and assuring it that I rely with
confidence upon the same concurrence and the same sup-
port in its future labours. It must he convinced that I
shall never require from it anything that does nut tend to
the happiness of France, to the consolidation of public
liberty, and the increase of the national prosperity."

OF DEPUTIES,

" Sire—To those who have assigned to the Govern..
meat of 1830 a mere ephemeral duration, we have to
reply, that the year has four times changed its date since
the revolution. of July; th..t in each year every event,
erreiigiie-'which depended upon chance or fortune, has
seconded the action of that Government, and thus has
brought our affairs to the prosperous state in wbich we
now find them. Sire,—l renew to you to-day t!:e same
wishes. Happy in being called upon to express them in
the name of the Chamber of Deputies, and in the presence
of its members who surround me, I shall not wish you
snything as necessary for your happiness as the head of a
family ; in this respect, Sire, Providence has long granted
all you could desire. But I wish your Majesty that for
which you have ever been ambitious, and which can alone
fully satisfy a good Kine—that under your reign, Sire,
France may attain the highest pitch of glory and pros-
perity ; abroad, friendly rela'ions and afl mrishing corns
coerce; peace, as far as it may be possible, but such a
peace as y,,u can a!one desire—a safe an I honourable
peace, worthy of the nation ; at home, industry, instruc-
tion, and comfort for the people—a well-defined liberty,
protected by the laws—justice rigidly administered_
public tranquillity insured—the concord of all good
zens, and the enlightened concurrence of all the powers
of the state, in strengthening your constitutional throne,
and in developing our institutions in the true and eenerous
sense in which they are construed by the sound opinion of
'he French people. Such are our wishes, Si-", which no
doubt arc in accordance with those of the King of the
French. The nation relies upon the stability of our insti-
tutions, but it has confidence in your fidelity in preserving
them, and in our firmness in maintaining them."
