Water).
DECLARATION OF THE NASSAU GOVERNMENT.
THE GENERAL. DIRECTION OF THE DOMAINS OF MS HIGHNESS THE

DUBE OP NASSAU,
Declare, by these presents, that being desirous to prevent and put
a stop to the numerous falsifications eommitted in respect to the
Waters of Selters (in England called Seltzer Water), in the kingdom
of Great Britain, its colonies, and dependencies, which have been
made known to them oa indisputable evidence, and wishing by every
means in their power to secure for the future to the consumers of the
Waters of Sellers (Seltzer Water) in the kingdom of Great Britain,
its colonies, and dependencies, the enjoyment of the genuine Water
of that Spring, as also of the Springs of Fachingen, Schwalbach,
and Weqbach, likewise the property of his Highness the Duke of
Nassau, they have resolved, from the let of January, 1845, to use
the Metallic Capsules of Mr. John Thomas Betts, of London, known
under the name of "BETTS'S PATENT METALLIC CAPSULE,"
as a top covering for all the bottles, both large and small, filled with
the said Mineral Waters, for Mr. John Thomas Betts, and intended
for the kingdom of Great Britain, its colonies, a':d dependencies.
On these Capsules are to be impressed the Arms of Nassau, and
under the arms the name of the Water contained in the Bottle, with
the words " BETTS, IMPORTER," and "BETTS'S PATENT,"

around.
The above named Bottles, capsuled in such a manner, will like•
wise bear, as heretofore, the usual marks, consisting of a Shield, im•

pressed on the Bottle, containing the arms of Nassau, or a Crown,
under which are the initials H.N., and around the name of the Mine-
ral Water contained in the Bottle, and also the usual burnt mark on
the lower end of the cork.
The General Direction of the Domains further declare by these
presents, that they have granted to the said John Thomas Betts,
Patentee of the above described Capsules, and to no one else in the
Kingdom of Great Britain, its Colonies and Dependencies; the exclu-
sive right to purcfiase and export, direct from the Springs, the Waters
of Selters, Schwalbach, Fachingen, and Weilbach.
They declare further; that the Bottles, after being filled with the
respective Mineral Waters, are to be immediately, and in the pre-
sence of their officers, closed with the above earned Capsules.
- This present declaration is granted to Mr. John Thomas Betts,
with authority to publish the same.
Given at Wiesbaden, this 18th day of December, 1844.

tion-General of the Ducal IBARON DE BOCK HERMSDORFF

HENRY HENDEL, Secretary.
The public will observe, by the above declaration, that these
Waters, protected and hermetically closed by the Patent Metallic

perfection, irrespective of time or temperature, as at the first mo-
ment when taken from the Springs, without the possibility of frau-
dulent substitution.
These Waters are imported in hampers containing four dozen
quart, or five dozen pint bottles at the rate of 10s. per dozen, and 2s.
the hamper for the former, and 7s. per dozen and Is. Gd. the hamper

must inevitably extend to many thousand persons, Cash Payments
will he indispensable ; 'on receipt of which hampers will be delivered
at the railway receiving houses ; and to any part of the metropolis,
exclusive of the railway stations, where carts are liable to detention.
iMr. Betts respectfully informs the public that, the first importa-
tion having arrived, orders will be received, addressed No. 1,

rence to priority of date.

tions for agencies, from respectable persons, where, appointments are

GREAT RUNNING MATCH FOR THE CHAMPION-
sum —Yesterday the long-pending match between John Smith
(the Regent-street Pct) and Harry Smith came off near the Old
Hat Inn, at Ealing. The men were matched for 50/., and from
the great celebrity they have acquired as pedestrians, the race at-
tracted upwards of 2,000 spectators. The distance contested was
140 yards. In betting the Pet was the favourite, at sto 4. After
several ineffectual attempts to start, they got away, the Pet having
the advantage. They ran at a quick rate, and at eighty yards they
were well together, the Pet appearing full of confidence, and his
opponent making every effort to take the lead, but without success,
when the Regent-street Pet ran in the winner by two yards.

Eastern Counties line, which left London at a quarter past four,

attempted to cross over the line; the consequence was that it was
cut into atoms by the engine, and the first carriage, which, how.
ever, maintained their po-ition upon the rails; the succeeding
Carriage was thrown off, but by the excellent management of the
driver the train was brought to a stand-stilt, without the slightest
injury to any individual. A body of platelayers, who were for
tunately at hand, speedily replaced the carriage upon the rails, and
locked the wheels, when the train proceeded in safety. The
