THE TORY DINNER.

(From the Devonport Independent.)
Ire understand that the Gallant Commander-in-
Chief of this district, Major-General the lion. 11.
Murray, has promulgated the following praiseworthy
caution among.the military officers under his com-
mand. We should be happy to see the same spirit
also carried out by the heads of the naval depart-
ments; as in all decided political demonstrations, we
think: officers in active service display good taste in
absenting themselves :
" The Major-General ti►inks it necessary to caution
the officers against attending any political dinners or
political meetings which may take place in the wes-
tern district.

"It is seldom that meetings of the above nature
pass off without some imprudent speeches being made,
of which the objection does not exclusively attach to
the speakers, but extends to the assembly. A much
greater evil, however, results from subsequent misre-
presentations, by which officers who have attended
such politiiml dinners or meetings, might find them-
selves involved in serious blame for language they
have not used, and opinions they have never enter-
tained, but to which it is presumed that, contrary to
their duty as officers, they have given sanction by
their presence.—Dec. 3, 1842."

BETTS' PATENT BRANDY.—The unparal-
leled and still increasing sale of this favourite beverage,
Las been attended by its natural consequence—the excitement
of envy is every branch of the Spirit trade. Hence, each sue-
(leading 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 Brandy.
It is to guard purchasers agaitt,g the consequences of such
attempts, and for that reason only, that J. T. Betts and Co. are
tgain 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.
