BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY.

A S an ordinary beverage, BETTS'S PATENT
rl BRANDY is congenial to the most delicate consti-
tutions, and as a Medical Stimulant it is peculiarly adapted
to persons of bilious or dyspeptic habits; for Preserves
and Confectionery, for Culinary Purposes, and for fortify-
ing Home-made Wines, it is invaluable ; and, indeed, to
whatever use adapted, it is in every respect preferable to
Foreign Brandy.
Consumers of Brandy are respectfully informed, that
J. T. BETTS, Jpse. and Co. will not be responsible for
any Bottled Brandy that is not protected against frudulent
substitution,by the PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES,
made of pure and solid metal, (not tin-foil,) embossed
with the words " BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, 7,
SMITHFIELD BAH S," to which attention is especially
directed.

ed, may be had of the following Wine and Spirit Ater

JULLIEN'S ORIGINAL POLKA.
MONSIEUR JL LLIEN has the honour to announce
that he has just published the SEVENTH EDI-
TION of his ORIGINAL POLKA, with Description by
E. Coulon, splendidly illustrated by Brandard. The
immense succesq of this celebrated Polka having induced
unprincipled persons to publish spurious imitations,
Mons- Jullien has published the Original Polka at his own'
Office, 3, Maddox-street, New Bond-street, London ;
and, in order to secure the public against the, possibility
of purchasing incorrect copies, he has attached his signa-
ture to each copy ; none can, therefore, be relied on which
have. not his autograph. Correct copies of Monsieur
Original Polka to be had only at the respectable
music-sellers in the kingdom. Also, No. 2. the Royal
Polka ; No. 3, the Drawing-room Polka ; No. 4, the
Rage of Vienna Polka; No. 5, the Imperial Polka ; No.
6, the Douro Polka ; No. 7, the Ducal Polka—all by
Jullien. The Pollington Polka, by Koenig, and the Opera
Polka, by Pugni. The numerous base plagiaries of Mons.
Jullien's Original Polka having on all their title-pages the
following words : " The celebrated Polka, performed at
every theatre in London, the nobility's balls," &c.-111.
Jullien feels compelled to inform the public that none of
these pretended Polkas have been performed at theatres,
and that the above-mentioned Polkas, by Jullien, are the
only Polkas that Mons. Jullien and Herr Koenig have
played nightly at the soirees where they have had the ho-
nour to conduct, viz.—The Duke of W'ellington's, the
Duke of Beaufort's, and the Duke of Leinster s balls, the
Countess of Jersey's, and the French Ambassador's soi-
rees, Countess of Mansfield s fete, and at the balls, soi-
rees, and parties given by the Marquis of Clanricarde,
Marchioness de Salis, Countess Wilton, Countess Powis,
Countess Norbury, Earl Sefton, Earl of Dartmouth,
Lord Foley, Lord Kilmaine, Lady Bateman, Lady Bal-
four, Lady Doraville, Lady E. Fielding, Lady Charlotte
Guest, Lady Johnstone, Lady Bowyer Smith, Hon. Mrs.
Carleton, Hon. Mrs. Darner, Hon. Mrs. Law, Hon. Mrs.
Meade, Mrs. Ames, Mrs. Arabin, Mrs. Edward Buller,
Mrs. Tyrwhitt Drake, Mrs. Buller Elphinstone, Miss
Elwes, Mrs. Charles Grenfell, Mrs. Hatfield, Mrs. Hogg,
Mrs. Charles Mills, Mrs. Powel, Mrs. Ravenshaw, Mrs.
Sebastian. Smith, Mrs. Staniforth, Mrs. Symonds, Mrs.
Wyndham, H. Fellowes, Esq., and all the leading balls of
the haul ton; also the Royal Academy Ball, the Caledo-
nian Ball, the Polish Fancy Ball, the Oxford Grand
Commemoration Festival, &c.; in which Mons. Julliens
and Herr Koenig have had the honour to conduct the
above-mentioned Polka, and where they have never
played, or have been asked to play, the spurious imita-
tions published under so many assumed forms and dis-
guised
