Company among the very largest Offices in the Kingdom ; indeed it
is believed that there are only three or four offices which equal it in
Fire Revenue. insurances are received upon nearly all descriptions
of property In the United Kingdom, the Colonies, and most Forel=
Countries ; the rates of premium are exceedingly moderate, end
governed in each case by a careful
BRANCHcon.ideration of the risk proposed.

the neve premiums alone exceeding 10,0001. A bonus was declared

about 0 r cent et' the premiums paid, being one of the largest ever

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY has ever since
its Introduction to the public been recognised, both by scient
men and the trade, as the best article ever manufactured in this
country. Its 'claims to such pre-eminence are based upon its unri-
valled purity, and its closer assimilation than any other to the
flavour of the finest Champagne Brandy.
There has been no Brandy made from wine in France, either in the
present year or in the preceding one. Owing to the successive failures
in their vintages, the French wine grower gets a higher price for his
wine. cnnsnmed as such, than he can realise by its being distilled
into Brandy ; and forasmuch as the foreign Brandy of recent impor-
tations is hut the product of British grain and beetroot spirits, the
Prestige hitherto exclusively enjoyed by French Brandy as having
been distilled from a particular French wine no longer exists, and is
no longer worthily assignable to it now that it is bunglingly made
from other materials. The supply of wine for distillation into Brandy
having failed, the French distiller is constrained to recur to a manu-
facture in which be needs the quarter of a century's experience
which has been exercised upon that of BE rTS'S PATENT
BRANDY, to render his article ri spectably competitive, and he has
lot had it. Under these circumstances the Messrs. Betts challenge
that their PATENT BRANDY is superior to any now made abroad.
It is to the interest of the public and the Messrs Betts that
these facts should bo widely spread, for recent importations are of
a quality so inferior as to di-grace the name they bear, and are
twice the price of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, which is supplied
by the trade, in capsuled bottles, to private families in any quan-
tity, down to the single bottle. Excise reguiations prevent its
sale (tom the Distillery, 7, Smithfleid-bars, St. John-street, in
any less quantity than two gallons,
