PATENT BRANDY versus COGNAC.

SHORTLY after the introduction of J. T. BETTS and
Co.'s PATENT BRANDY, in 1829. and the decided
establishment of its purity and perfection, on chemical
analysis, it was predicted that " it wouldeventually supersede
the use of French Brandy." How rapidly that prediction is
approaching its fulfilment, will be judged by the fact, that,
by the official accounts of the last' quarter, the Decrease in
the sale of French Brandy, as compared with last year, was
at the rate of between 20,000 and 30,000 gallons per annum ;
and, with reference to the year 1834, the falling-off in the
last twelve months was upwards of 200,000 gallons; whilst
the Increase in the sale of BETT'S BRANDY, in the last
official quarter, as compared with the corresponding period
of last year, was at the rate of between 40,000 and 50,000
Gallons per Annum. _ _

A natural consequence of the unprecedented celebrity of
this Spirit has been the attempts, (in every case abortive,)
made, year after year, to form Establishments, with the ex-
press object, and in the vain hope, of rivalling this production.
Preposterous and high-sounding as the pretensions of some
of these concerns have been, none have carried them further
than a firm which, introducing itself under the cover of false
names, and by the assumption of Royal and Foreign titles,
has sought to prolong its existence by continuing the decep-
tion thus practised upon the public. To this, and all the
other Brandy Establishments of the country, without excep-
tion, the challenge is given, to show, that their entire trade,
for the period above-named, has equalled the mere increase
of BErr's deliveries within the same time.

The only Establishment of J. T. BErts and Co. is the
Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield Bars, London, where the Patent
Brandy may be had, either pale or coloured, in quantites not
less than Two Gallons, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial
Gallon, for Cash on delivery. It may also be obtained, at
the same prices, from most of the respectable Spirit Mer-
chants in all parts of the Kingdom ; and, where there are not
established Spirit Merchants, or such parties do not keep the
Patent Brandy, persons engaged in other trades are specially
appointed and licensed for its sale, by the Patentees.

with 'she affairs of the central bank, persons have, by mis-
take, condoled with him. The difference of designation in

PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS.

JPiliEgfiff,CnEMlST, Lord-street, Liverpool, begs
• particularly to call the attention of his Friends and the
Public to his improved Preparation of th very justly-cele-
brated article SEIDLITZ POWDERS, fiiiorm the SEID-
LITZ WATERS, which approach nearer than anything yet
discovered to the Chalybeate Waters of Germany. The style
of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ POWDERS is peculiar to
himself, and combines scientific skill with great accuracy,
and although numbers of people acquainted with the business,
and others, have of late years attempted imitations, they have
invariably been found to be spurious compounds, neither pos-
sessing the agreeable flavour nor the medicinal properties of
the Seidlitz Waters.
_ _

Sold in boxes 2s. each, containing twenty-four powders, to
make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in tin cases 10s. each.
The latter are put up in a very eligible form for exportation,

mates. Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIESTLEY, No.

LARGE TROUT.—On Tuesday last, a trout weighing nearly
seven pounds, was taken with a single gut line by the Rev. J.
Harvey, of Winchomb, in this county, in a pond at Postlip
Mills, near that place, belonging to W. S. Evans, Esq., of

an hour's sport.—Gloucester Chronicle.
COMBINATION AMONG THE FAIR SEX.—The town crier

SEA-HORSE IN THE SEVERN.—About three weeks since
a half-grown walrus or more, about -eight feet long, a well-

tle.—Gloucester Chronicle.
DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF LICHFIELD AND COVEN-
TRY.—Reports have reached town confirmatory of the fears

LAPSANG TEA,
IMPORTED IN LEAD PACKAGES
SIX SHILLINGS PER PACI(ET,

TN introducing the " Lapsang Tea, it may be well to
observe, that this description has not found its way into
this country before, chiefly on account of its rarity, and the
high estimation in which it is held by the Chinese.
The following remarks, selected from an eminent work on
China, will perhaps give an idea of the superiority and value
of this peculiar kind of tea.
" Lapsang (Leaong-chaang, ' small or scarce sort') is the
finest of the stronger black teas, with a leaf that is generally
entire and curly, and more young than in the coarser kinds.
It is usually made up in small packets containing from half
a pound to a pound, and, in some instances, two pounds,
and enclosed in lead to preserve its flavour, which is so fine
as to he used almost exclusively for presents and the court
of Fekin.
" The finest kinds are sometimes scented with the flowers
of the Chloranthus inconspieuus and Gardenia Florida ; and
they cannot be obtained, even among the Chinese, except at
dear prices ; being composed mainly of the young buds, the
quantity produced can only be small, and will bear no pro-
portion to other descriptions. With a view to increasing its
strength and flavour, the application of heat is very limited
in drying the leaves, and for this reason, as well as on account
of its scarcity and high price, very little has ever been brought
to England. The mandarins send it in very small canisters
to each other, or to their friends, as presents, under the name
of Loong-tsing, which is the name of the district where the
tea is made.

" The Chinese usually allow tea to be infused (or to stand
in the teapot before pouring out) longer than we do in
England ; and this, perhaps, is the secret of teas always ap-
pearing to me stronger at Canton. Whatever the reason,
however, the fact is certain, that the infusion, as drunk in
China, is much more potent than as prepared by our house-
wives at home. Probably the quantity used may have some
influence in the matter—the superior classes in China being
rather liberal in this respect."

Mr. DARBY wished to know when it was the intention of
the noble lord to proceed with the poor-law amendment bill.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL had already stated he did not intend
to proceed with that bill till the middle of the month.

tion of the noble lord to introduce any amendments relative
to the bastardy clauses in that bill.

it at present stood.

THE DYING GIRL TO HER LOVER.

Farewell, beloved! the evening breeze is stealing
Softly around us, and the low, soft sigh
Of waters murmuring by
Falls on my soul, in gentle tones revealing
Visions of future hours, when I shall be

Thine but in memory.
Wilt thou not sometimes wander forth alone,
Beside this tranquil lake, and fondly dwell
On all we loved so well?
And, as the breeze bears forth each plaintive tone,
Will not my spirit seem to hover near,
Thy cherish'd voice to hear? •
Yet must I leave thee, though thy saddened brow
Grows paler than its wont, and each fond smile
Fades from thy lip the while :
Still would I see thy soul less troubled now,
Lest mine be won from loftier feelings, back
Unto its earthward track.
Fain would I watch thy lonely couch beside,
When sickness had o'erspread thy pallid cheek
With fever's fearful streak ;
Oft have I prayed, let good or ill betide,
That I might live to catch each breath and tone,

LIGHTING OF THE SOLWAY.

A memorial was some time ago signed by several of the
M.P.'s in the north,.and amongst others by both the mem-
bers for West Cumberland, in order to be presented to the
Trinity Board for the purpose of obtaining the erection of a
Light House on the island of Little Ross, at the entrance
into Kirkcudbright Bay. The memorial was placed in the
hands of Sir James Graham by Mr. P. H. Howard, and
transmitted, a few days ago, by the Right Hon. Baronet to
Trinity House. The success which has attended Sir James
Graham's interference is shown by the following correspond-
ence :

Grosvenor Place, 13th April, 1839.
Dear Howard,—ln obedience to your desire, I forwarded
the memorial to the Trinity House which you placed in my
hands ; and I enclose for your information the answer of the
Board, which I am happy to say is satisfactory.
I am your's, very faithfully,
(Signed) J. R. G. GRAHAM.
Philip Howard, Esq„ M.P.,.47, Lower Brook-street.

- Trinity House, 12th April, 1839.
Dear Sir,—l beg leave, with reference to the note which I
had the honour to receive from you, under date the 21st ult.,
and for the information of the gentlemen subscribing the re-
presentation by which it was accompanied relative to the de-
sired establishment of a light-house upon the " Little Ross,"
at the entrance of Kirkcudbright Bay, to acquaint you that
the subject has undergone •attentive consideration by this
hoard, and that I have addressed a letter conveying to the
Commissioners for Northern Light Houses ;" the opinion of
this Corporation that the establishment of a light-house
upon the Little Ross would be advantageous to vessels navi-
gating to and from ports•or places situate to the eastward of
St. Bees Head and the Mull of Galloway, and that they con-
sider it desirable that the same should be carried into effect."

I have the honour to be, dear sir, your very obedient
servant, (Signed) J. HERBERT.

FOREIGN COMMERCE.

Mr. HEATHCOTE wished to ask his hon. friend the mem-
ber for Dartmouth when he intended to bring forward his
motion relative to the grinding of foreign corn in bond for
exportation?

Col. SEALE said he could not give any pledge as to which
day he would bring it forward, but whenever he did so it
would not be without sufficient notice.

THE CHARTISTS.

Lord DUNGANNON wished to know from the noble lord the
Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he had
received any intelligence of a meeting that had taken place a
short time since in Smithfield, by a body of persons styling
themselves chartists, at which language of the most inflam-
matory character was used. Ile also wished to know whe-
ther the noble lord had received any information of persons
connected with that body arming themselves, and if he had,
whether it was his intention to take any steps in consequence
thereof?

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, in answer to the first question,
he would state that he had received an intimation of the
meeting to which the noble loi d alluded, and he concerted
with the Lord Mayor as to the best means to be adopted for
preserving the public peace ; on the night of the meeting, at
ten o'clock, while sitting in that house, he had received in-
formation from the Lord Mayor that the meeting had dis-
persed quietly, but he had no account of the speeches that
had been made at the meeting. With respect to the other
part of the noble lord's question, he must say that reports
had been received for some time past, with respect to the
people arming, more particularly at Manehester, and in con-
sequence of that he had been in correspondence with the
authorities there.

TO CORRESPONDENTS

" Argus" is perfectly correct in his remarks, but we have no t
space for his letter.
" Theogos" complains of a subject which has frequently been
brought before the public, and, we are sorry to add, with-
out effect. A similar result would, we fear, follow the pub-
lication of his letter, or it should appear.
" A Friend to the Standard" has no just cause of alarm. It
is easy to indulge in expressions of " disgust" and charges
of " gullibility," but we should attach an importance to
them by making any reply.
We must positively decline inserting the letter of Mr. Flude
on the Carbonate of Barytes." The subject does not
possess sufficient interest for the columns of a newspaper.
