BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY has ever since
its introduction to the public been recognised, both by scientific
men and the trade, as the best article ever manufactured in this
c mintry. Its claims 40 such pre-eminence are based upon its unri-
valled purity, and its el. ser 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
preent year or in the preceding one. Owing to the successive failures
of their vintages, the French wine grower gets a higher price for his
wine. consumed as such, than he can realise by its being distilled
into Brandy; and forasmuch as the foreign Brandy of recent impor-
tations is but 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 he needs the quarter of a contrary's experience
which has been exercised • upon that of BE TS's PATENT
1111 ANDY, to render hlg article r, spectably eon:petitive, and he has
not had ft. Under these ctrannistazrOgrthe -- -

• ..... •
that their PATf,•NT BRANDY Is superior to.alay now made nbrosa.
It is the interest of the public sitd the Messrs fivits that
these facts should be widely spr• ad, tot 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 caosuled bottles, to private families in any quan-
tity, down to the single bottle. vxciFe regulations prevent its
sale rom the Distillery, 7, Stn'thfleld-bars, St. John-street, in
any less quantity than two gallons.

LORD PA LMERSTOIV. TIV.IRTON.

Friday evenings: after- the election, Lord Pal-
merston attended a banquet to celebrate *the re-
opening of the AlienMtim.
The CHAIRMAN (Mr. F.' Hole) propoFed " The
Health of her Majesty'e Ministers,"
,which was
skunk, with enthu•dasna.
,
Lord PALMERSTON; on rising. to respond to the
toast, was grected With loud cheers. His
.lordship
said—Mr. Hole and gentlemen—l b?g. for myself
and colleagues :to return you :our heartfelt thanks
for the honour you: have done us in. drinking :our
heal ths' and for, the en•husiastio•!manner in which
it hag been received. For my colleague 1. return
thanks for the way in which they, as public men,
are thanked coin muniticSavith which theyare not
pers'on'ally acquainted, bid who pleasejoapprove of
the public conduct: we have jointly pursued.
myself, gentlemen, I really, without any affectAtion, •
must say that itis impossible for me adequately to
-express the thankfulness, the gratification, and the
pride
,which .L feel at the reception which I have
met_ with at your hands., (cheers.) I haVe had the
'honour now for, I believe, -rather more • than 20
.years to represent this town in Parliament, and in
that period I.mty justly. hope and flatter myself that
I have made net only aCquaintances and friends,
"but that there are many- of those whom I have the
-honour of addressing on the present occasion who
entertain for me those feelings of friendship and
regard Which I aria ptoila to say I feel for them.
(Chests.) At all -Links, therefore, it must be highly
gratifying to me t 0..: visit the . town from which I
have received so many marfc'a of good-at-ill, and to
return to it receiving renewed proofs of confidence
in the public course • which it has been' my fortune
to pursue ; .but, gentlemen, this is a most pecu •
liar moment, an appeal having been made to the
country on: a question of great national import-
ance. I look upon the reception you have been
kind enough to give me, not only as a proof of
your personal feeling towards myself and colleagues,
but as your appreciation of that expression of na-
tional feeling—(cheers)—which has passed ever the
whole surface of the land, from • north to south and
from east to west, upon the question on which the
people of this country have felt that the national
interests, the national rights, and the national dig-:
'nity were concerned.: (Cheers.) There are many
people—some few at home, and a great many abroad
—Who totally misunderstand the character of the
British nation. (Hear.) They th'nk.party diffe-
rences are carried to all possible extremities, and
especially in foreign countaies they imagine that
those who differ on internal questions, that those
who rank themselves in opposing parties, will also
differ when questions arise which involve matters
of difference between England as a country and any
other forejgn State. Now, I should think that
what has • happened in the last two years ought to
undeceive them on- that point. The spectacle
which this country exhibited on the breaking out
of the war with Russia was, indeedi calculated to
Make every Englisbnian still more proud of his
country ; all party differences were laid aside, • men
of all shades of opinion—I say of all shades of opi-
nion, though there are a striall: party which I must
except—(laughter and ironical cheers)—but that was
an opinion very much in the shade, and when I say
tbat I really don't mean to dispute the honesty and
sincerity of those respectable gentlemen who were
few in .numbers, and whose.opinions were confined
very much to their own family circles—(laughter)—
but r say, with these exceptions, the whole British
nation united as one man, and supported the Govern-
ment charged with the conduct of the war, for every
man felt that quarrel Was his own, and that his per-
sonal as well as the national interests of the country
were concerned. Well, that spectacle struck deep into
the minds of foreign countries, and had a powerful
effectin bringing that war to a speedy and successful
conclusion; and not only that. war; • but in bringing
the treatyrestilting from it to aconaplete au dsuccessful
execution, for when foreign governments saw the
expression of public opinion which the people of this
country pursued throughout—when I had occasion
to allude in a passing and transient manner in what
I had to address to the people of Manchester and
the people of London—when they saw the great
commercial communities of this country, who might
be supposed to be deeply interested .in the mainten-
ance of peace, and in putting an end to the means
by which peace might be supposed to be endangered
--7,-,4,.53y when foreigune9ts saw these meri

t e obtai---"-"fralkilegglAlnl**loo4l4.7gAlcq Vid;ft4i
n r exeottion of the stipulations contracted
for, depend upon it that spectacle had the most
powerful influence in putting an end to the difficul-
ties which threatened for a time to put an end to
the exertions we had made for the conclusion of
that treaty of peace. I s,y, gentlemen, upon the
present occasion the British n ttion has exhibited
as honourable a spectacle as on the occasion
to which I have already referred—for I am ad-
dressing men who, perhaps, have entertained a
difference of opinion upon many questions, but
from one end of the land tai.the'Otfier the common
feeling has marched in common with that feeling
for -our country which belongs to us all. I have
had the honour of receiviugaddresses in great num-
bers from many of the largeSt cities and commer-
cial communities—addresses which I have not the
vanity to take to myself, but which were the ex-
pression of the national feeling upon subjects in
which they felt the national 'interest and the na-
tional honour were concerned ; but the other day,
gentlemen, I had the honour to receive a deputa-
tion. from Bristol, a similar one from Liverpool,
and from Manchester,• expressing regret and sur-
prise at what had happened in the House of Com-
mons to the Governmsnt, and of their determination
to support it. One of these gentlemen said I, a
Liberal,-.but my friend who. comes with me is a
-Conservative, and this address from Bristol
has received 2,000 signatures, and includes
every class of society and 'el'ery shade of po-
litical opinions. (Cheers.) The same happened
in Liverpool, and those who were kind enough to
bring me an address said it was exhibited only for'
two or three hours, but it contained 940 signatures,
including all those largely concerned in the com-
mercial and trading interests of the town, and who
have the greatest interest in 'avoiding what is cal-
culated to interrupt the peaceful relations of the'
country. I say these things make one more proud
than ever of the country in which it is our lot to
be born, and these things teach an instructive lesson
to public men, because they show that where there
is a rightful cause, and where the nation is called
upon to vindicate its rights and assert its dignity,
the Government is sure to have the support of the
people ; but also it is a warning that these feelings
and this enthusiasm and noble spirit are not to be
trifled with ; and that if the Government were to
involve the country needlessly in hostilities the
Government would undoubtedly suffer the penalty
of its folly. (Cheers.) It was my good or ill fortune,
while I held the department of the Foreign-office, to
have many difficult things to deal with. I have
been accused of b6ing the firebrand of Europe, and
one statesman of Europe even said that I was a
European calamity. (Laughter and cheers.) I was
accused of exciting revolution everywhere, and dis-
turbing the peaceful state of Europe. Now, gentle-
men what I did, and what the Government of
which I was the organ did, was to encourage and
support, as far as we' could with propriety, those
natkoes who endeavoured to improve their institu-
tions—(cheers)—and to (Again for themselves the
blesings of that Parliamentary government which
we in England have so long enjoyed. I did'ut in-
cite the people or encourage the nations to seek for
internal changes which could not be reasonably ac-
complished ; but when they were possible Hof ac-
complishment then we said, " Here is our hand ;
we will lead you, and trust you may reach the
goal whiCh you are honourably striving to obtain."
We had a great deal to do with the inde-
pendence of Belgium, in which we were opposed
by, a , distinguished member of the House of
Commons, who was adverze to what we were
about, and who characterised it as an experiinent
of the "noble lord"—meaning me. (Laughter.)
But, gentlemen, this independent monarchy, unlike
many experimental farms which we witness—
(laughter)—turned out a very successful undertak-
ing, and that people have now a King of their own
choice, and enjoy a degree of political liberty and
happiness which few of the nations• on the conti-
mint have lad an opportunity to share. Well, then
again in Spain we took part with the people against
the pretender, who had inscribed despotism on his
banner, and supported the Queen, who had freedom
and the constitution inscribed on her flag, and
though we succeeded, and though Spain has not
carried into practice. those great principles, yet still
she has a Parliament, and where the forms of free-
dom exist depend upon it, gentlemen, sooner or
later the substance will follow, (Cheers.) Well,
then, in Portugal we supported the. Queen against
her usurping uncle, who had the support of manyin
this country who ought not to have supported his
cause, and Portugal, I am happy to say, is in a greater
degree enjoying the practical application of Parlia-
mentary government. Well, then, gentlemen, all
these things•being accomplished without engaging
this country in war, yet those who contributed in
this country to these happy results are by some
gentlemen called the fiteDrancla--the great ealami,
