IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE-
RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
throughout the United King•lom, but throughout the civilised
wnrld, that any enconium on its merits might appear super-
fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or
less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty
of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele-
brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest
scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es-
tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London ; and also at their
three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ;
and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at
most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian
Warehouses in every province of the United Kngdorti. The
just reputation of their manufacture, and the ecnsequent de-
mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them
of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against
whajeli Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the Public
The deception referred to is that of passing off a spuriatia
article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked
bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the Me-
tier water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the
same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously
palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the
la. ter is prejudiced by 'the substitution of a bad article—and a
certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its
legiti.t ate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe
and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over
the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment
in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with-
out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with
pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces
of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the
three kingdoms ; tier is the demand for their Soda Water less
constant on the continent and in other parts of the world.
Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the Eat
and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually
transmitting orders received from their respective agents and
correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimony

The Marseilles Journals of the 13th inst. give an
account of a severe thunder storm, which visited that place on
the afternoon of Saturday last. The electric fluid struck the
barracks of La Corderie, but without causing any real damage,
and passed ...rough the room of a house in which fire persons
were sitting, without injuring either of them. In the port, a
Brae:li an vessel was struck, but received no other
injury than
the fracturing of a top-mast. Near the Moulin de St. Louis,
the fluid struck three men who were at work; tee, of them
were not much injured, but the third appeared for s ,me time
to be dead, and when he returned to life, it was found that all
his limbs were horribly contracted. A dreadful calamity oc-
curred in the roadstead. Nine persons, who were in a boat, on
a fishing excursion, were endeavouring to reach the land, as
the storm was increasing in violence every niorcero., when the
boat was struck by lightning, and five, out of the nine persons
on board were killed. The boat having taken fire, the other
four must have been drowned, if some fishermen had not put off
to their assistance. During the storm the rain fell at intervals
in such abundance, that the city and its vicinity were almost
inundated. 'or iSscibtwleesPsPe's
