THE EQUITABLE STEAM-PACKET
COMPANY.

CAPITAL, £120,000.

IN FORTY THOUSAND SHARES OF 31. PER SHARE.

This Company is established upon the same principle as that of
a Life Insurance Office, it being decidedly an Insurance for Health.
The principle of a Life Insurance is for the benefit of others ;
the first object of this Company is to benefit the present generation.
The absolute necessity of recreation for the Mechanic, the Arti-
san, the Middle and Working Classes, is too obvious to require
comment, and ought to be a primary object with the Government
of every country.
It is an old and true saying—" That all work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy."
The first and great object of this Company is to increase, to the
tteat possible extent, the number of passengers to Gravesend,
argate, Ramsgate, and other places, and this object can only be
!ffected by giving the means, namely, by reducing the price to the
lowest possible charge.
The Shares are therefore fixed at a price within the means of
every mechanic, who is unavoidably shut up in London smoke every
Month in the year, and who is as justly entitled to the means of
recreation and the preservation of health, as those who call them-
selves the " higher orders."
The Shares are divikd into forty thousand, for the only reason
of extending the power of the Company ; and if practicable it would
be most beneficial to its success, that the Shares should be taken by
forty thousand different persons; ,!! this could be effected, it would
De a " Real Benefit Society."
The Capital is stated at 120,000/., but it is not intended at pre-
sent to call for more than IL per share, which will amount to 40,0001.
This sum will be sufficient to complete four' Steam Boats. It
will then be for the Shareholders to decide upon the prudence of
extending its further operations.
The formation of this Company has been suggested by some
Powerful individuals connected with the Shipping Interest. and
who are ready to subscribe the whole Capital : but it has been
determined to distribute the Shares to the greatest possible extent,
as the best means of securing its certain and permanent success.
In order to effect this it is intended to give a decided preference
for,„ Shares to the numerous and powerful body, the Licensed
Victuallers, and that a portion of the Annual Profits will he as-
signed for the benefit of their most excellent Charitable Institution.
A Pattie Meeting will be called of the Subscribers, whose first
duty will be to elect the Directors ; this mode being deemed more
constitutional !.ban by commencing with a score of Governors self-
clooted. When the Directors have been elected, the Regulations
for the government es the Company will be submitted for the con-
sideration of the Proprie-tors generally.
Application for Shares, rost paid, to be made to John Nicholson
and Company, 15, Fenchurch- street.
Applications for Shares le ust be made before the 10th of
February; on that day the List w2l be filled up and the Shares
distributed. In May Four Steamers w;.11 be ready for starting.

BETTS'S PATENT FRENCH DISTO•LED BRANDY.
RAVING entered upon the seventh year of suc-
cessful prosecution of tteir business, as Manufacturers of
the PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY, J. T.
BETTS and CO. gladly avail themselves of such an opporttiniti
?f renewing in the recollection of their friends, the causes whicri
have contributed to that unprecedented success and unbounded ex-
tent of connexion which have especially recompensed their efforts
to produce a quality of spirit calculated, at all times, to inspire con-
fidence, and afford perfect satisfaction to every rank and class of
purchasers.
The distinguishing qualities of their Brandy are of too decided
character to admit of its being confounded with any other pro-
duction, except through the medium of the most specious, and, at
the same time, most fraudulent representations. The attempts at
imposition, by the adoption of titles not dissimilar from their own,
are too clumsy to produce any effect, if purchasers would bear in
mind the following points, applicable, exclusively, to their spirit.
In the First place, BETTS'S PATENT FRENCH DIS-
yILLED. BRANDY is the only article of the kind guarded by a
Patent Right ; and all the allegations of others being so protected
are false : Secondly, it is the only one proved to be free from the
injurious qualities so prominent in Brandies manufactured in this
Country ;—qualities which render them alike offensive to the pa-
kte, and deleterious in their effects ;—and it must be especially
remarked, that it is uniformly made from the finest Corn Spirit,
,to the entire exclusion of that most objectionable spirit, Potato
WhiSkey: Thirdly, it is the only one that has the sanction of mem-
bers of the Chemical profession ; of whom several (whose Testi-
monials have been frequently before the public,) have certified as
Well to its extreme purity, as to its freedom from the uncombined acids
which abound in the larger portion even of the finest French Bran-
dies ; from which, in all other respects, it is difficult for the most
e4rnpetent judges to distinguish it : and Fourthly, It is the only
spirit which has received the support and recommendation of many
of the lrst Medical men of the day, in preference to every other
Spirit, British or Foreign, for its salutary properties.
As consequences of the superior qualities, thus established, it is
proved that tiia use of this Brandy is not attended with nausea or
head-ache—it is found congenial to the most delicate constitu-
tions--and it is espenar valuable to persons of bilious or dys-
peptic habits. For the do a reasons,
." when used in an ordinary be-
verage, diluted (in the mannr recommended by the first Physi-
„eialtS) in the proportion of one to six, it is infinitely preferable to
halt, and other fermentable liquors.
With such unequivocal and exclusive ev::lences in its favour, the
constant preference which is afforded to Betts's a'audY. is not only not
surprising, but it would be surprising were it °them?". Whether,
therefore, it be regarded medicinally,—as an agreeable al'ld whole-
some,, beverage,—or as an auxiliary to the Confectioner, the _.'"er
of British Wines, or in Culinary affairs,—in any, and all these re-
sPeets, it is equally valuable, and unexceptionable ; and so long as
a Pure and perfect spirit is a desideratum with consumers, so long
will BETTS'S PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY
continue to experience that marked preference with which it has
hitherto been distinguished.
In conclusion J. T. Betts and Co. observe, that they cannot too
strongly caution their friends and the public against the specious
and fraudulent representations to which they have before adverted ;
it being clearly proved to them, that persons with whom they are
in no way connected, are habitually obtaining Orders for Brandy in
their name. They, therefore, feel themselves bound distinctly to
announce, that they are not connected, directly or indirectly, 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
tittles, be tasted at their Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-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.

UNDER the PATRONAGE of HIS MAJESTY, and AU-
THORIZED by the LORDS of the TREASURY.
QIGHT RESTORED.-NERVOUS HEAD-
k, ACHE CURED.—This discovery has proved itself of the

greatest importance to the public. The numerous testimonials the
Inventor has received during the last twenty years, from families and
editors of the first respectability, proving the truth of this infallible
testorative, all of whom may be applied to, who have been relieved
from cataract, gutta serena, opthalmia, and inflammations, all dis-
eases of the eyes and head having been completely eradicated, glasses
'eft off after twenty years' use, and the person rendered imperviou
to contagion by the frequent use of this delightful compound of the
most wholesomsl, choice, aromatic, and odoriferous herbs. It is re-
commended oculists and medical practitioners for its many vir-
tues. The high patonage and character it has attained, is a testi-
monial beyond suspicion. To prevent imposition, ask for GRIM-
STONE'S EYE SNUFF

London.
COPY OF A LETTER sent to 1%6. Grimstone, 39, Broad-
street, Bloomsbury .—" Dear Sir,—You may oialte use of my name,
for a true fact, in taking your E e Snuff. I ha.x.:'
received such
great benefit, that I can see t.o write without glasses, wittich I could
not do before I took your Eye Snuff, my eyes being so very' weak;
they are now perfectly strong ! Many of my poor aged men a:id
women would purchase it in preference to other snuff, but they
cannot afford sixpence per ounce, or buy it in the cannister. I re-
main, Sir, your's respectfully, H. PLUCKWELL, Governor of the
Poor.—Poor-house, Tottenham, Middlesex, January 24, 1834.—
Sight restored."
OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the " Old England,'
Sept. 22, 1833:—" Evx SNUFF.—This is really an extraordinary
preparation. Of what it is compounded we know not ; but this we
know, that it is wonderfully efficacious, relieving headache and
Purging the eyes of injurious humours, especially if they are of a
scrofulous nature. It is also an extremely complaisant companion
When toiling over musty books or writings, and tends most power-
fully to enable the eye to perform, without fail, an unusual quantity
of labour."
OBSERVATIONS of the Editor of the United Service Gazette,
April 19, 1834.—" The advance (If civilization, which gives birth
to so many new forms of infirmity and :lisease, brings in its train
new disenveries of remedial agents and new onlications of science
to their vfr toes. In no case has this remari bet,n more signally
verified than 1;n the modern prevalence of near• sighte:!ness, and
the new applianc;ii for its relief. Truly, we are a blinking gen.7a-
'km ; every second wan glares upon us in the streets through varied
shades of blue, green, or amber, but none of these optical preser-
vatives profess to restore the impaired faculty to the vigour of health.
Let, however, the student and the literary devotee learn, with gra-
titude, that such a remedy exists. The instances in which Grim-
%tone's Eye-snuff has renewed the power of vision by restoring
one t.o the over-strained organ are so numerous and well authen-
icated, that the individual who neglects to make an experiment of
its efficacy may justly be said to ndulge a silly scepticism at his
OWn expense."
