extinction of the Ecclesiastical Court. We shall also present
an uncompromising front to Pop.ry, whether in the shape of
Pusey ism,Romanism. or sham L►beralism.
India and the Colonies,—We shall require that these portions
of the British Pontinions,be recognized as integral portions of
the Erni-tire, have free commerce with us, and representatives
in the House of Commons.

The Excises—We shalt argue the removal of all the needless
and vexatious restrictions at present imposed, and shall heartily
co-operate with the 'Anti.:Excise Association of Scotland in
their movement towards *be accomplishment of this end.

our motto.

-Q INCE the opening of this Establishment, the
Proprietor,.founding his knowledge on the past, has created
a complete revolution—the ordinary cook has been changed for
the London professor—the wines of n.ual vintages have been
supplied by rich Amontillado, and fine full-flavoured Ports;
'the Champagnes, too, are of the choicest brands—the Brandies
unequalled—while the British Spirits, Whiskeys, and Gins,
direct from the first distilleries, are such as will bear compa-
rison with any extant.
