ELECTION COMMITTEE.
LYME REGIS.

The Committee met yesterday at the usual hour, and
proceeded with the scrutiny into the votes, which, as it
consists entirely of the details connected with the quali-
fication of each individal voter, is quite destitute of in-
terest. Some anxiety, however, is felt as to the result
from the numbers being so nearly balanced ; the sitting
Member, up to the present time, is only in a majority
of one.

The vote of a man named Aland, occupied the Com-
mittee the whole of the day ; the argument in reply to
the objection not having been heard at half-past three
o'clock they adjourned. The Committee on this petition
is the only one now sitting.

IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO ExrEcT TO p):-
RIVE I3ENErIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—SCIIWePpe'S
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised
world, that any eneonium on its merits might appear super-
fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of lisif
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, ..13erners-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 Kingdom. The
just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de-
mand for it, have tempteckunprincipled persons (many of them
of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against
which Schweppe and. Co. are anxious to caution the public.
The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious
article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked
bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe-
rior 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
beter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a
certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its
legitimate 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 ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less
constant. on the continent and in other parts of the world.
