BETTS' PATENT BRANDY.—The unparal-
leled and still increasing sale of this favourite beverage,
has been attended by its natural consequence—the excitement
of envy in every branch of the Spirit trade. Hence, each suc-
ceeding year brings to notice competitors, whose announce-
ments, under fallacious pretences and high sounding titles, urge
upon the public notice Articles, whose only distinguishing fea-
ture is their vast inferiority to the Patent Mandy.
It is to guard purchasers against the consequences of such
attempts, and for that reason only, that J. T. Betts and Co. are
again induced to state, that the Patent Brandy is manufactured
only at the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-bars, leading to St.
John-street ; where it may be obtained, pale or coloured, at
Eighteen Shllings per Gallon, of the highest legal strength.

LOI:)ON :
WEDNESDAY MOANING, DECEMBER 21, 1842.

We have not before found an opportunity of
noticing the observations of Mr. HOPE, which
the League thought worthy of a prize, on the
effects which the Corn-law has had on the
farmer. He being an occupying farmer, may be
supposed to be intimately acquainted with them,
and to be worthy of the confidence of his class.
We have on two or three occasions called the
attention of the tenantry to the influence of that
law in making them promise higher rents than
they could ever be enabled to pay. We have
adverted to their degradation at being compelled,
whenever prices fell, to ask the forbearance of
their landlords, and accept a reduction of their
claims, as if the farmers were insolvent or pau-
pers, Here are some of Mr. HOPE'S remarks,
which we consider as peculiarly appropriate :
" But I need not remind at this period (1822) those
poor farmers' who are obliged to sell their crop to
pesr a rent which they had agreed to give by calcu-
InEing the price of grain at double what they could
Theo obtain. Much persuasion surely cannot be re-
wired to satisfy them of both the danger and folly of
attempting to obtain famine prices in ordinary seasons.
Neither shall I attempt to convince the wealthy, who
could afford to store up their own crop, or buy that of
their poorer neighbours, because I acknowledge at
once that, for them, this system ' of a hunger and a
burst' wrought admirably, whatever wretchedness it
produced to other members of society."
" I sometimes wonder that my brother farmers have
never asked themselves
,this question—` Have we, as
a class of capitalists, been more prosperous than other
classes of traders ?' Take for instance the grocers,
linen-drapers, or innkeepers, of your neighbouring
market towns. Take the average of those engaged
in an y of these trades with a capital of say 2,0001. ;
then take the average of farmers, similarly circum-
stanced, and.l ask you, which party, at the end of a
dozen years, upon an average, has realized the most
money ? know your answer will be in favour of
the grocers, drapers, and innkeepers. How is this to
be reconciled with the notion we have been taught to
entertain by the landowners, that the farmers are specially protected ? There have been no laws passed
under the pretence of giving protection to drapers,
an
s,
or dor i knneepers ; there are not a large number
oflandlords owning the grocers' shops in Parlia-
ment professing to watch over their interests • and
yet the retail grocers are more prosperous as a 'body
than you. Surely this is enough to awaken your sus-
picions of the delusiveness (to use no harsher
term) of all those promises which political landlords
make to you at the hustings, or at agricultural din-
ners. But let me further ask, did you ever know the
entire body of grocers, or any other, trade, to be up in
arms at the same time all over .ng.land. complaining
of distress ? You may have known bankruptcies and
losses to fall upon particular individuals, but did you
ever know the whole body of any particular trade
liunighout the kingdom calling exclusively to ;
such
a
Parlia-
ment at the same time to relieve them
