THE PARLIAMENT.

(From the Morning Herald.)
-Thereis natioubt that in consequence of the unaccount-
able-d`laYs is passing the Reform and Boundary Acts,
jMinisters feel considerable embarrassment relative to ad-
ourning,
proroguing, and dissolving the present Parlia-
ment. An adjournment has its advantages and disadvan-
tage'. If adjourned to a distant day the King has the
Power, under the provisions of the 39th and 40 h Geo. 111,
et 14. to reassemble it, upon giving fourteen days' notice
in the London Gazette, notwithstanding such previous
jadjournment, and every proceeding of the Session so ad-
ourned remains entire, and may, at the meeting of the
Recess, be taken up in the state and at the period where
it was left, but no alteration can be made in any Acts
Which have passed the Legislature in that Session unless
chit Acts contain a specific enactment for that purpose.
The Reform and Boundary Acts, containing no such
Tr
cannot be altered upon an adjournment
The Effects of a prorogation are very different : a
prorogation concludes the Session, and all Bills or
other proceedings depending in either House of Par-
liament, in whatever state they may be, are entirely
put an end to, and must in the next Session be insti-
tuted again, as it they had never been begun. When
Parliament is to assemble " for the despatch of busi-
ness' after a prorogation, forty days' notice must be
given of such meeting by proclamation. If a dissolution
is intended the Parliament must be prorogued, as it is
considered both ungracious and unconstitutional to dis-
solve during the Session, and therefore, if this intention
exists, an adjournment is out of the question. Still, in
the present state of the financial affairs, and of our foreign
relations, it seems very hazardous to be without a Parlia
rnent until January, which must he the case in the event
of a dissolution, as the machinery of the Reform and
Boundary Acts cannot be completed until December.
How, in the name of wonder, I would ask, can Lords
Grey and Althorp provide for the payment of the
January dividends, supposing such provision to he made
fur those now due, and to become due iu October,
without the aid of Parliament, to say nothing of what
may daily or hourly occur in relation to our foreign af-
fairs ? Perhaps you may consider these observations
worthy insertion in your Paper.

PATENT BRANDY VERSUS CHOLERA.

The following are IMPORTANT FACTS, with which the
Public, at the present moment, ought to be fully acquainted.
First., That BETTS'S " PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED
BRANDY" is the only known pure Spirit in the World !
Secondly,—That while it possesses all the valuable pro-
perties which characterise the finest Cognac Brandy, it
is free from those acids which that spirit is known to
contain, and which are now so desirable to he avoided.
Thirdly,—That unlike other Spirits, the Patent Brandy
will not produce nausea or head- ache; but, on the con-
trary, from its essential purity will be found congenial
to the most delicate constitution, and an invaluable
,sub-
stitute to persons of bilious and anti-digestive habits.
Pourthly,--That as an ordinary beverage, diluted in the
proportion of six to one, (as
recommended by the first
Physicians), it is beyond all calculation preferable to
malt and other fermentable liquors, while its moderate
price brings it within the reach of nearly every class of
consumers.
Fifthly,—That all the faculty who are acquainted with the
transcendant merits of the Patent Brandy, recommend it
in preference to French Brandy for medicinal purposes.
Sixthly,—That it has been analyzed by a
great number of
the most celebrated Chemists, whose opinions are una-
nimous as to its decided superiority, and front whose
certificates the two following extracts are made :
From JOHN THOMAS COOPER, Esq., Lecturer on Che-
mistry at the Medical School in Aldersgate-street—
" Your Brandy is free from uncombined acid and as-
" tringent matter, which exists more or less in most ot
" the Brandies imported from France."
" To Mr. Betts."
From JOSEPH HUME, Esq., of Long Acre, Chemist to
"
his Majesty—
" lam 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 conta-
minate" the Foreign Spirit."
" J. T. Betts,
.1. T. BETTS and Co. deem it expedient to state, that
their only Establishment is at No. 7, Stnithfield.bars,
(!eading to St. John•street,) where the Patent Brandy,
either Pale or Coloured, may be lid in quantities of not
less than two gallons, at 18s. per imperial gallon.
N.I3.—A liberal discount to the trade.
