THE STANDARD OF COfiNAG RPHE BEST COGNAC BRANDY is the produce of JL a tract of land in France, well known as THE CHAMPAGNE DISTRICT. To meet a demand, greatly disproportionate to the supply afforded by so limited an area, the Foreign Traders in the article were notoriously in the habit of adulterating it with other Brandies, of an inferior quality and they, thereby, induced a great number of the Proprietors of the best Vineyards in that district, to establish a Company, in the year 1838, under the name of THE UNITED VINE- YARD PROPRIETORS' COMPANY; for the purpose of counteracting the baneful effects of such fraudulent prac- tices upon the character of the Cognac Brandy, and of enabling the Public to obtain through them the genuine article. The reputation which the Company now enjoys, in the Market, is the strongest proof of the fidelity with which they have hitherto effectuated the purposes for which they were formed. This Company has engaged to supply Messrs. BETTS & Co., as appears by the following letter:- "Cognac, 14th March, 1846. "Messrs. Betts & Co., London. Gentlemen,—We have very great pleasure in con- fiding to your care the sale of our BEST BRANDY, produced from the Champagne district, in order that you may be enabled, by the use of your METALLIC CAP- SULE, to guarantee the GENUINE ARTICLE to the Public, at a fair remunerating price, and that we may derive a benefit from the extension of our trade through the high respectability and established reputation of your House. We are, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servants, For the United Vineyard Proprietors' Company, GEO. SALIGNAC, Manager. And Messrs. BETTS and Co., under the title of LA SOCIETE VIGNICOLE CHAMPENOISE, beg to inform those consumers who wish for THE BEST COGNAC BRANDY, which they designate THE STANDARD OF COGNAC," that the same can be purchased through- out the Kingdom, in Bottles, at the piice of 4S.

THE ASAB TEA COMPANYVLOWDONY l'URVEYORS OF THE CELEBRATED ASAM TEA, TO HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN, HAVE APPOINTED SOLE AUTHORISED AGENTS FOR THIS DISTRICT: CARDIFF-Mr. H. Webber, Guardian-Oiffce, Duke-street I NEWPORT—Mr. M. Evans, Bookseller, 35, High-Stieet MERTHYR—Mrs. Ann Williams, Confectioner, High- SWANSEA—Miss Arnold, Confectioner, Cross-street. Street I ASAM AND "ASAM TEA." IMPORTANT QUESTIONS SATISFACTORILY ANSWERED. WHAT IS ASAM? ASAM is a province in Asia, situated west of Bengal. It is a Colony which, since its possession, has been dis- tinguished by steady advance towards important improvements. Of late years, ASAM has become the subject of universal interest, on account of a peculiar species of Tea, which is "part and parcel" of the rich soil of this province. WHAT IS ASAM TEA? AS AM TEA (let it be clearly understood) is a distinct genera of Tea, having no connexion whatever with that of China. Its taste—its self-peculiar piquancy of flavour, surpasses any thing that can be conceived by those who have not tasted its delectable qualities. The instant the Tea is tasted, the drinker acquires a relish for its invigo- rating, refreshing, and in every respect, healthful decoction. Its strength in consumption is two to one of the Chinese leaf, so that luxury and economy are happily combined in the use of this unequalled species of Tea. WHO ARE THE CULTIVATORS OF ASAM TEA? The Ie As AM: TEA COMPANY," to whose arduous and enterprising exertions we are indebted for this new feature in domestic luxury. The Establishments and Agencies of the ASAM TEA COMPANY" have created, and are creating, considerable sensation in the variou. Towns of England, and the daily increasing consumption of this leaf is a proof positive that the public know how to value this choice vegetable boon. Black Tea 5S. 0d. per lb. 1 Green 6s. Od. per lb.

The Tea is packed in handsome coloured wrappers, with the Co.'s Seal affixed, without which none is genuine, in Pounds, Halves. Quarters, and Two Ounces, being enclosed in lead forming a Canister.

'.5'c. <tc., IN returning his sincere thanks for the very liberal support he has received, begs most respectfully to intimate that he has very considerably added to his Stock of Fancy and Useful Articles, viz.Foreign and English Gold and Silver Watches Chronometer; Duplex, Horizontal, Patent Lever, Vertical, and other Escapements a large Stock of Eight-day, 30 Hour Weight, Spring, and Bracket Clocks, manufactured on the premises; French and English 14-day Striking Clocks; TimePieces; American and other Manufactures, too numerous to mention; Barometers, Thermometers, Chronometers, Mariners' and Pocket Compasses, Quadrants, Telescopes, Spectacles and Eye-Glasses of every shade and description, Ladies' and Gentlemen's Dressing-Cases and Work-Boxes, Writing Desks, Reflecting Glasses, Accordions, &c. H. GRANT also begs to introduce the PATENT ELECTRO SILVER, which has been so deservedly cele- brated, during the last ten years, for its extreme purity, its silvery whiteness and durability, and remains beyond all comparison the very best article next to sterling Silver, and can be employed as such usefully or ornamentally. In the lengthened and increasing popularity of the material itself, and the hight of the method of plaiting, the public have a guarantee that the article, as regards wear, H. G. can recommend as superior to any other extant. WHOLESALE AGENT for PONTING'S SHAVING CREAM, being entirely free from all that would irritate the most tender skin. It produces a soft unctuous lather, which does not dry on the face, and so effectually softens the beard that it imparts to the operation of shaving a greater amount of facility, comfort, and dispatch than can be obtained by any other means, leaving the skin beautifully soft and smooth, and is equally as efficacious in cold as in hot water. The small quantity necessary to produce a lather-a piece about half the size of a small pea- being amply sufficient-renders it as cheap in use as the commonest soap; and the proprietor is perfectly satisfied that no other recommendation than a trial is required to ensure its universal use. P.S.— Watches, Clocks, Jewellery, Silver Plated Goods, Accordions, Musical Boxes, Nautical Instruments, &c. &c., cleaned and carefully repaired 011 the premises. Experienced workmen sent to any part of the Principality. The Trade supplied with Tools and Materials at Wholesale Prices.

The Portraits are now fixed on the plate in all their natural hues of colour."—Britannia. "They exhibit a degree of boldness, and stand out with a relief, greatly desiderated in all the earlier specimens." -Times..

GRAND M.4TI01VAI, HEHifiERIIi. MR. G. WOMBWELL HAS great pleasure in informing the Gentry, hie Friends, and the Public generally of CARDIFF, that he has succeeded in procuring the finest Male CHIM- PANZEE ever brought into this country, and that it will be Exhibited in his Menagerie, in this Town. The Chimpanzee, or the Black Ourang Outang, is a native of Africa, particularly of the Guinea Coast. They are said to live in vast troops, and to be exceedingly dangerous in their attacks upon persons travelling alone in the forests where they are found, and all travellers agree in their relations of the large and powerful stature which these Animals attain. The present specimen is nearly four feet in height, and is supposed to be about six years old he is remarkably healthy, very docile, and generally play- ful and gentle. The hair on the head is quite black, and falls down before the ears, forming whiskers on the cheeks. The mouth is wide, the lips rather thin, and destitute of that recurvation of the edges which adds so much to the expression of the human countenance. Its power of imi- tation is very great, and often ludicrous in the extreme, from the expressive face and human-like form. The Ourang Outang will be Exhibited each day from Eleven in the Morning until Eight in the Evening. The Collection is also accompanied by the most splendid group of TRAINED LIONS, TIGERS,& LEOPARDS ever exhibited before a British Public, which are put through their extraordinary and matchless Feats by the Celebrated LION QUEEN. The porformances of this daring Lady, with the lordly Lion and ferocious Tiger, excite the wonder of every beholder, before whom the Monarch of the Forest crouches in submission. The Collection will arrive on SATURDAY, AUGUST 8th, and will, probably, remain in Cardiff for Three Days only. They will make their Entry at 10 o'clock precisely, with the Procession of the LADY and the ELEPHANT, enlivened by a SPLENDID BRASS BAND, of which Mr. J. TIDBSWELL is the Leader. TWO WATER GRIST MILLS IDm WITH IMMBDLATE POSSESSION, THE WAHREN MILLS, TT7 HICH are in good Repair, and in Full Work, in \y the Parish of PENDOYLON, about seven miles distant from Cardiff, and four from Cowbridge.

Diamond-Dust direct from the Mines. GENUINE DIAMOND DUST, for giving instan- taneously the keenest edge to the bluntest razor or knife, is now regularly imported direct from the Mines of Golconda, tbe Brazils, and the Uralian Mountains: and may be had at the W li ol esale Depot, I, Angel-court,Strand, London in Kcsewood Boxes (with instructions) at Is., 2s. (is., 5s., and 10s. 6d. each; and at the various agents throughout the world. The peculiarity of this dust is, that it is the hardest of all mineral sands, as the diamond itself is the hardest of all mineral substances. A diamond is only cm by a diamond, but it is sometimes split, in order to perfect its geometrical symmetry. Sometimes, by this process, small flakes or points are taken off. J Lcse flakes are used for various purposes in the arts, such as drilling holes in glass and precious stones, or in engraving on hard substances. That which makes the price of cameos so great is not merely the labour of the manufacturer, but the quantity of diamond-dust that is used in getting up the surface and points of the head or figures represented. In cutlery diauiond-dust has been very little used till recently. Kmery has been the chief substance used tor polishing, but emery is not bard enough to do more than polish when applied even with severe friction. It will not, like diamond-dust, give an edge and sharpen. Besides, emery is affected by various causes—climate, &c. It loses its power even to polish under some circumstances. Not so with diamond-dust. Though it affects other minerals, it cannot be affected by any other. Over steel it has a peculiar power, producing not ouly a keen edge to the most perfect razor, but a uniformity in the keenness that establishes it as superior to all known substances for sharpening purposes, There are many things that will sharpen a knife or a razor for a while, eventually rounding the edge, but diamond-dust alone prevents the edge from rounding, and re-sets the edge. Time, Parties using the Diamond-dust «i'l never require to have their razors set or ground, the use of the bone being rendered perfectly unnecessary. Shippers and country agents supplied on liberal terms, Either of the boxes will he transmitted free to any part of the couutry. Wholesale Depot, 1, Angel-court, opposite Somerset House, Strand, London. DIAMOND DUST.-We have tried this dust on our razor- strop, and must say weLfind it most efficacious in giving onr razor an admirable edge, a most desirable result for those who love easy shaving.—Bell's We, June 6th. DIAMOND DUST—The statement in the advertisement. No. 163, is no exaggeration; we tried an old useless razor, and the effect was truly surprising.

The Testimony of a Clergyman vouching to Eleven Cases of Cures by these wonderful Pills. Extract of a Letter from the Rev. George Prior, Curate of Mevagh, Letter Kenny, Carrigart, Ireland, 10th January, 1846. To Professor Holloway. SlR,-I send you a crude listof some eleven cases, all cured by the use of your Pills. I cannot exactly give you a professional name to the various complaints, but this I know, some of them baffled the skill of Derry and this county. In a previous letter this gentleman states as follows :-Witbin a short distance of my house resides a small farmer, who, for more than twenty years has been in a bad state of health Mrs. Prior gave him a box of the Pills, which did him so much good that I heard him say, for twenty years past, he never ate his food or en- joyed it so much as since taking your Pills. (Signed) GEORGE PRIOR. The above reverend and pious gentleman purchased some pounds' worth of the Pills for the benefit of his poor parish- ioners. BAD DIGESTION, WITH EXTREME WEAKNESS & DEBILITY, AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE. Mr. T. Gardiner, of No. 9, Brown-street, Grosvenor-square, had been in a very bad state of health for a long time, suffering much from a distended stomach, very impaired digestion, with constant paius in his chest, was extremely nervous, and so greatly debilitated as scarcely able to walk one hundred yards; during the long period of his declining heahh he had the advice of four of the most eminent physicians, besides five surgeons of the greatest celebrity in London, from whose aid he derived no benefit whatever; at last he had recourse to Holloway's Pills, which he declares effected a perfect cure in a very sbort time,and that be is now asstrollg and vigorous as ever he was in his life. This being so extraordinary a case, may lead many persons almost to doubt this statement, it might therefore be necessary to say that Mr. Gardiner is a broker, and well known. CURE OF A CONFIRMED ASTHMA, ACCOMPANIED WITH GREAT DEBILITY. Extract of a Letter from John Thompson, Esq., Proprietor of the Armagh Guardian, Armagh, 17tb April, 1846. To ProCessor Holloway. SIR ,-There is at present living in this city a Sergeant, who had been for many years in the army, at Cabul, in the East Indies, from whence he returned in September last. On his way here, from the change of weather of a tropical to a moist climate, he caught a very violent cold, which produced aeon firmed case of Asthma. In December last he commenced taking your Pills, and by the use of two lis. boxes, with two 4s. 6d. pots of your Ointment well rubbed into his breast, he is, I am happy to say, not only quite cured of the Asthma, but 1 is also become so strong and vigorous, that he informed me yesterday he could now run round the Mali with any person in the city, and that he never got any medicine equal to jrour Pills and Ointment. (Signed) J. THOMPSON. THE EARL OF ALDHOROUGH CURED OF A LIVER AND STOMACH COMPLAINT. Extract of a Letter from His Lordship, dated Villa Messina Leghorn, 21st February, 1845. To Professor Holloway. SIR,—Various circumstances prevented the possibilities of my thanking you before this time for your politeness in sending me your Pills as you did. I now take this opportunity of sending you an order for the amount, and, at the same time, to add that your Pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my Liver and Stomach, which all the most eminent of the Faculty at home, and all over the Continent, had not been able to effect; nay, not even the waters of Carlsbad and Marienbad. 1 wish to have another box and a pot of the ointment, in case any of my family should ever require either. Your most obliged and obedient servant, (Signed) ALDBOROUGH.

They are so tixed as to fasten any lu^se teeth where the gums have shrunk from the use of caloiuel 01 other causes, They also beg to invite those not liking to un- dergo any painful operation, as practised by most members or the profession, to inspect their painless yet effective system and in order that their improvements may be within reach of the most economical, they will continue the same moderate charges.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. We regard the work before us," The Silent Friend as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impres- sion ouournaind that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained ia its pages. —Age and Argus. The Authors of The Silent Friend" seem to be tho- roughly conversant with the treatment of a class of com- plaiuts which are we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal.

THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM, is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immo- cerate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their consti- tutions, or in their way to the consummation of that deplo- rable state, are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the ner- vous system, obstinate (fleets, excesses, irregularity, obstruc- tions of certain evacuations, weaknesses, total impoteucy, barrenness, &c.
