    BE TTS ' S PATENT BRANDY has ever since its introduction to the public been recognised , both by scientific men and the trade , as tho best article ever manufactured in this country . Its . claims to such preeminence are based upon its unrivalled purity , and its closer assimilation than any other to the flavour of the finest Champagne Brandy . There has been no Brandy made from Wino in Franco , either in the present year or in the preceding one . Owing to the successive failures in thoir vintages , tho Frenoli wine grower gets a higher prico for his wine , consumed as such , than ho can realise by its being distilled into Brandy ; and forasmuch as the Foreign Brandy of recent importations is but the product of British grain and beetroot spirits , the prestige hitherto exclusively enjoyed by French Brandy as having been distilled from a particular French wine no longer exists , and is ho longer worthily assignable to it now that is buuglingly made from other materials . Tho supply of wine for distillation into Brandy having failed , the French distiller is constrained to recur to a manufacture in which he needs tho quarter of a century ' s experience which has been exercised upon that of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY , to render his article respectably competitive , and he has not had it . Under those circumstances , the Messrs . Betts challenge that their PATENT BRANDY is superior to any now made abroad . Itistotho interest of the public and the Messrs . Betts hat those facts should bo widely spread , for recent importations are of a quality so inferior as to disgrace the naino they bear , and are twice the price of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY , which is supplied by tho trade to private families in any quantity , down to the single capsuled bottle . Excise regulations _ prevent its sale from the DISTILLERY , 7 , smTHFIELD-BARS , ST . JOHN-STREET , in airy less quantity than two gallons . . .

    Lond . on , Friday Evening , April 3 , 1857 . The Bank of England has thought it advisable to put a stop to the incessant demand for Bullion by raising the rate of discount to 61 per cent . This came rather unexpectedly on the money markets , and its occurring so near the 4 th of the month , when bills become due , lias caused some inconvenience to the mercantile public . The power vested in the Bank directors is so great , that ere long the question must bo raised as to the propriety of allowing a few dozen men to be the arbiters of the fortunes and destiny perhaps of millions of thoir countrymen . The announcement , of the resolution arrived at by the Bank directors gave a damp to all business' It had been suspected on Wednesday , owing to some remarkable sales , that such a measure was under consideration , and the market was weals , when tho news arrived . The lowest point reached as yet has been 93 J for . this coming account . Railway shares had been very buoyantup to this point , but a fall of & to 5 per cent , ensued in the leading lines . Money is not diificult to be met with at 6 to C 4 per cent , for short dates . In tho foreign stocks there has been a decidedly less firm feeling in Turkish and Russian stocks . Mexicans havo improved . In Spanish , 110 business worth recording . So occupied has the City been with the elections uoth in and out of tho metropolis this present week , that business has been at a standstill . Great satisfaction has been expressed at the triumph of Lord John Itussell for London . In railway shares , East Indians generally look very healthy . Great Western of Canada are depressed , owing to tho account received of tho frightful accident near Hamilton on this line . Grand Trunk of Canada have been largely bought , but their dropping down so much looks as if tho public had overbought , and would fain get rid of some portion of their adventure . Caledonian , Dover , Leeds , and East Lancashire , aro all "well thought of . Joint-stock Banks still look uninviting , investments and recent ovents havo frightened people from risking their whole fortune in such schemes . Mining market much neglected , and business at a sland-A meeting of the Australian Agricultural Company took placo this week , and the statements of tho directory were so unsatisfactory that they decreased the value of the shares to 211 . ; not six years ago they wcro soiling at 300 J . to 8 ( 5 OJ . per share .
