Extract of a Letter dated Munich, 12th September, 1852, from Baron Liebig to Mr. henry Allsopo, Brewery, Burton-on-Trent. "To my great astonishment and concern, my attention has lately been called to several anon y mous articles and advertisements headed by my name, such as in the -, whose author altogether misrepresents the motives of my remarks, and even goes so far as to say 'that I had never analysed your beer, nor perhaps ever tasted it in my life,' and to allege a retractation on my part of the original statement. " I emphatically declare that I had not the slightest knowledge of these anonymous articles, the contents of which I entirely disapprove of; and that in every respect I adhere to the statement made in my letter to you, which certainly you were, and are at perfect liberty to publish." " Munich, 12th September, 1852. [T. No. 6.] BARON LIEBIG ON PALE ALES. " If I wished to associate with any individual brewery my re marks on the alleged adulteration of bitter beer with strychnine, it would have been only natural to hive mentioned another brewery, in which alone, and not in Mr. Allsopp's, I was engaged in investigating the Burton mode of brewing : and it was also in that other brewery the Bavarian brewers acquired all the instructions they obtained at Burton. The admiration I expressed of this beverage in my letter to Mr. Allsopp is advertised in such a manner as to lead to the in ference that my praise was exclusively confined to Mr. AllsopP's beer ; this was not the case, my remarks referred to that CLASS of beer "JUSTUS LIEBIG. " Giessen, July 24, 1852." N.B. The Baron's Original Letter is in the hands of Mr. Miller at the Jerusalem Coffee House, CorniulL where it may be seen by any one taking an interest in the matter. NATIONAL ASSURANCE AND INVESTMENT ASSOCIATION, 7, St. 31artin's-Place, Trafalgar-square. London. The investment of money vita this Association, which was established in May, 1844. on a plan peculiar to itself, secures equal advantages to the surplus capital of the affluent, and the provident savings of the industrial classes of the community, and affords an opportunity for realising the highest rate of Interest yielded by first class securities, in which alone the money is employed. Moneys deposited with the Association, for Investment, are exempt from liabilities on account of life contingencies. as well as the expenses of management, which are borne by the Lite Depart ment, in consideration of the business brought to it by investment transactions ; therefore, Depositors enjoy the entire profits yielded by their capital free from deduction of any kind —an advantage which no other Institution, either public or private, holds forth, or can afford, to its members. Interest or Dividend, is payable half-yearly, in January and July. Capital Stock, £lOO,OOO. The Capital Stock is altogether distinct and separate from the Depositors' Stock in the Investment Department. It constitutes, with the Premium Fund, uantee for the engagements of the Association, and has been p rovidedp in order to render the security of the Assured complete. LIFE DEPARTMENT. This Department embraces a comprehensive and well-regulated system of Life Assurance, with many valuable and important im provements. Full intiomation and prospectuses may be obtained, on application at the Head throughout Office of the Association, or to the respective Agents, the United Kingdom. PETER MORRISON, Managing Director.

The business of the half-yearly meeting had been, he might say, disposed of; directors and auditors had been elected, and the report, with the exception of one paragraph, had been received. He would, therefore, call upon the secretary to read the supplemental report of the directors. Mr. NIcoLL then read the report, which contains the following terms offered to the Shrewsbury and Birming ham Company:— " The Great Western Company will, subject to the following conditions, consent (under a proper agreement to be approved by counsel) to secure an cption, to tb.p6q shareholders of the two Shrewsbury Commies who will undertake to hold their shares, or in selling the shares to others to bind the nurchascrs to the same covenants, to bind themselves to assist by voting at the Wharncliffe meetings, and otherwise to support the Bills and to carry out the subsisting agreements between the three companies, provided that proprietors holding at least one half of the capital in each company s h a ll execute such agreement.

The said sharebolders shall be entitled to all the profits on their shares in excess of those respective divi dends, after reimbursing out of those profits to the Great Western Company any antecedent loss or advance made by them towards such guaranteed dividends. - "3. The Groat Western Company are to ha ve th e option of buying at par the said shares, at any time during the period fixed for the guaranteed minimum di vidend of 3 per cent. per annum. " 4. In consideration of this agreement the Great Western Company are to be held entitled to apply to Parliament in their own name, separately but conteaspo_ raucously with the Act fur amalgamation, for a Bill to obtain running powers and stations, sidings, an d water accommodation, & in he , over t the eventtw two Shrewsbury theamalgamation lines, to come into operation Bill failing from any reason to be carried tb rouuh Par liament during the next session; and the Gr eat W estern come t Company may also apply, if they require it, in the said Bill, for runninc , powers, or in the amalgamation Bill, or in both of them, for Parliament to sanction addi tional rails being laid over the said railways, or either of them, at the expense of the Great Western Company, for the purpose of running their broad-gauge engines and carriages continuously over the said lines. " 5. The foregoing conditions are to be confirmatory of the subsisting agreements—and supplemental to them —and not in substitution for them; and are to be carried out in the manner to be approved by counsel, so as not to affect the validity of any of the said agreements; and the agreement is to be submitted forthwith to special general meetings of the three companies for con firmation." credit. rov ed Personal Security.

These terms have been approved of by the Shrews- bury and Birmingham and Shrewsbury and Cheater boards. The adoption of the report having been moved and seconded, an amendment for an adjournment was moved by Mr. Scott and seconded. After considerable discussion the following letter from the secretary of the London and North-Western Com pany was read by Mr. Geach, M.P.:— " London and North-Western Railway, Euston Station, London, Sept. 18- " My dear Sir,—having brought under consideration of the board of directors, at their meeting this day, our recent communication in reference to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, I am authorised and instructed to state that the board are quite willing to concur with the.

" C. Geach, Esq,, M.P." After some further discussion the CHAIRMAN put Mr. Scott's motion, which was rejected by a large majority. A poll was demanded, an d the shareholders were about to record their votes, when Mr. SCOTT said he would not press for a poll upon the question of adjournment, consequently the motion was declared lost. The CHAIRMAN then put the :reaolution, which was carried by a show of hands, and a poll was demanded. The CHAIRMAN said it would be impossible to make the result of the poll k nown that day, and be shou ld adjourn the meeting till Tuesday, at ten o'clock. The meeting was accordingly adjourned. SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER.

The CrraitimArn in moving the adoption of the report, said there was a discrepancy in the figures relating to the cost of the line. At the half-yearly meeting on the 31st of August last it was stated that the estimated cost would be 13,0001., and he had every reason to believe that would be sufficient at present; but, considering that labour and materials were advancing in price, it was suggested that 15,0001. should be put down in the esti mate instead of 13,0001., which ho hoped they .would agree to, and with this assurance, that they would not, expend Is. more than was necessary in its construction. This new capital would have the effect of increasing the old shares in the proportion of one new share for every fear shares held by the present proprietors. There vquld be some over, which would have to be disposed Vby the directors. He concluded by moving a resolu tion for the adoption of the report. - M r . MANGLES seconded the motion, In reply to questions it was stated that, although the distance between certain places by there railway was more than double that by omnibus, yet was a consider ble saving in time, and the expense was about the same. Persons would prefer travelling in the railway carriages to travelling in omnibuses. They had no doubt that a very large number of persona would travel over their line. The report was then adopted. Resolutions were passed authorizing the directors to apply is the next session of Parliament for power to make a branch railway to Hammersmith, and to raise 15,0001. on shares, with the, usual borrowing powers; and agreeing to offer 1,500 shares of 10/, each to the proprietors, in the proportion of one new share to every four shares held by each proprietor. In reply to Mr. YOUNG, it was stated that the terms of the contract with Mr. Brassey were being enforced, and they had no doubt the junction lino would be ready for traffic in about a fortnight. It appeared that consider able delay had occurred in the execution of the works on this line in consequence of a refusal on the part of the sub-contractors to pay the men 3d. por day more than they were willing to give. The line was to have been opened on the Ist of August, but the time was afterwards extended to the lot of September, and now it is not expected to Tbehe opened ng then separated. before the end of the first week in October.

The ship from which the 50-gun screw-frigate Imperieuse was launched, at Deptford, is to be re paired, and another frigate of the same class to be laid down, it is said. The screw-frigate Dauntless, 33, Captain Halsted, will be ready to leave Spithead, for the West Indies, to-day. She took on bard her shells yesterday morning. We are glad to say the Zenobis, Hon. Company's steamer, for whose safety some anxiety has been ex pressed, is all safe. She broke her intermediate shaft when off Andamans, and put back to Rangoon. We mentioned a short time since that the Tweed, 18, Seagull, 6, and Kestrel schooner, were to be broken up at Devonport. Since then, their Lordships have sold the Tweed to Messrs. Wilson and Co. ' of Southwark, for the sum of 1,1251, and the Racer has also been sold, for the purpose of breaking up, for the sum of 8201, subject to the usual conditions of re turning all copper metal, &c., into the store at the Government department. A NETHERLANDS SQUADRON IN THE CHANNEL.— iI.AMSGATE ' SEPT. 20, 10.50 A.M.—Three Dutch frigates and a steamer—the frigates under reefed topsails and four courses—from the eastward, are working up through the Gulls. One frigate has ap parently a Rear-Admiral's flag. Another screw line-of-battle ship was on Thursday added to the French navy by the launch of the Jean Bart, of 100 guns, at Lorient, which went off with the most perfect success, and amidst the enthusiastic shouts of thousands of spectators.

WEXFORD, SEPT. 18.—The oyster-boat Teetotaller, has just arrived at our quay, having in tow two boats containing about 60 male and female passengers, and part of the crew of the ship Bhurtpore, of Liverpool, Barn bridge master, bound to New Orleans, which vessel struck on the north end of the Long Bank, about four miles eastward of the Forth, at three o'clock this morning. As well as I can ascertain from the pas. sengers, the following is an account of the disaster: — This vessel was about 1,500 tons burden, having a crew of 35 hands and 485 souls (men, women, and children) as passengers, the latter, with the exception of 56, being all Irish, and generally young people of the peasant class of life. She left Liverpool on Thurs day morning in tow of a steamer, which left her off Ormsby Point. During Thursday night she rather lost ground than gained, but on Friday morning she had fair wind. The coast of Wales was seen by the passengers before nightfall last evening. All the passengers were, at the time she struck, in their berths, and whether any blame is to be attached to the captain or officers is yet to be ascertained. The description given by some of the sufferers of the scene which followed is horrifying. When the two boats here alluded to left the wreck there were still two other boats left, and Captain Devereux, the master pilot, was using all exertion to get to the as sistance of those on board. On the calamity being known in town, the merchants, together with Mr. Devereux, M.P., and his Worship the Mayor, Mr. John Walsh, assembled in the Chamber of Commerce to devise the best means to send to the assist ance of the sufferers, and several oyster-boats have been dispatched, properly manned, to the scene of disaster. A spirited and humane townsman, Captain Crosbie, has accompanied them, to afford the benefit of his assistance. HALF•PAST 3 P.IL—A pilot-boat has just reached our quay, bringing about 100 more off the wreck. Others have been landed at the Forth. When the last boat left about 100 still remained on the wreck, but It was ex pected, with the assistance of the oyster and other boats, most of the people would be saved. The Mayor was in attendance on the arrival of the pilot-boat, and had the unfortunate sufferers conveyed to the poorhouse for shelter, where no doubt every attention will be given them. Later accounts since received state that the ill-fated ship had gone to pieces, aad that the remainder of the passengers and crew, win the exception of five persons, who were unfortunately drowned, bad been got ashore and landed at Wexford. The Bhurtpore was a fiae ship, of about the register before stated, and was only on her second voyage. AUTUMN. —For the last three months samples of new materials have been daily pouring in from all the celebrated manufactories in the world, The amplitude of pattern and magnificent finish displayed in these new styles for Autumn have afforded full scope for the matured judgment of E.

MOSES and SON, and will shortly be presented in novel styles, surpassing every other invention. E. MOSES and SON, by immense purchases on their invariable ready-money principle, have secured great allowances, and conse quently their new styles for Autumn will be charged lower than on any previous season.

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT THE NELSON COLUMN.— Via Zata.afty lent an accident of a frightful nature occurred at the Nelson column to a man litui...l Daniel Allman& a labourer, which was nearly producing fatal results. It ap peared that a number of workmen were ensaged in fixing the grand bronze alto relievo, representing England's naval hero at the battle of St. Vincent, which will cover the western side of the base, facing Cockspur-street, and for which several holes had been drilled in the granite block to receive the bolts by which the casting is to be kept in its position. Three bolts were being fastened in by boiling lead, and Allmond was steadying one of them whilst the lead was being poured in from the vessel, which contained about 12 pounds weight of it ; and after nearly 10 pounds had been run, a loud gust was heard, when the whole mass instantly rushed out in a stream full upon him, going into his month and eyes, and burning his face in a frigh t f u l mariner. His screams were heartrending, an d h e was immediately con veyed to Charing-cross H osp i ta l , w h ere , u pon examination , __ the above parts were f oun d to b e d rea dfully burnt,r an . w d hi n c i i a i jacket and waistcoat were li tera ll y so ld er ed togethe r , in p remedies stata they may be seen at t h e h o spital. pro were applied, but th e r i g h t eye a ppears to .be so Leh injured fa will be that his sight i s lik e l y to b e i m paired, whilet x his lesi ce on of the considerably mark e d.

The difference between true Sperma torrhoca and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Plckford ; but the moderate price at which the ' brochure is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter. —Dublin Medical Press, April 18,1852.

The Minister of Marine, who left Havre for Cher bourg on Monday night, on board the Reine Hortense steamer, arrived on the following morning at the latter port. On his arrival he was received by the maritime prefect and his staff, and landed under a salute from the forts. He then proceeded to the maritime prefecture, where the prefect of the department was in waiting to receive him. He afterwards held a levee, at which the diff.Jent officers were presented to him, and to whom be addressed a speech, in which he pointed out the inten tions of the President and of his Government for the development of the naval force of the country.

The bids for the five million loan of the State of Pennsylvania had been opened at Harrisburg ; the State authorities did not appear satisfied with the offers made. "In the first place," says the New York Herald, referring to the loan— " It does not appear by the dispatch that bids were made for the whole amount. Only 3,330,000 dolls. were bid for. All the 5 per cent. bids were at a premium ranging from 1 doll. 53c. to 3 dolls. per cent., except 10,000, which was at par. The best bid was for 10,000 dolls., of Four per Cents., at par.

The Five per Cents. of that state, now in the market, are selling below par." A telegraphic communication from Burlington, Vermont, states that 33 towns had elected 21 Whigs and 12 Democrats. Last year there were 20 Whigs and 12 Democrats elected i n th e sa me towns. The boiler of the stea m - s hi p R e i n d ee r, a Hud son River boat, exploded on the sth, by which 30 people were killed and a number scalded. Madame Sontag had been very enthusiastically re ceived at New York. By the steam-ship Northern Light, which arrived at New York on the 7th, with 312,000 dollars in specie on freight, we have advices from California to the 14th ult. The Royal Mail steam-ship Great Western was at San Juan on the 30th; the port was very healthy, and the weather fine. At San Fran cisco a duel had occurred, and the parties not having sufficiently injured each other, were to meet again. The proceedings were witnessed by a large concourse of people. The editor of the Alta California bad been killed in a duel with a Member of the Senate. Affairs of honour, attended in some cases with fatal consequences, had also occurred in the mountains. Throughout the diggings Chinese vil lages were springing up. Pekin, Canton, and Hong Kong were among the names given to these Celestial settlements, some of which contained upwards of 1,500 souls. The immigration of Chinese into Cali fornia was enormous. Since the month of May the arrivals equalled that from all other quarters of the world, and were nearly three times that of the previ ous quarter. Tha immigrants were principally from Canton River and its vicinity. It was estimated that in the month of August the number of Chinese resi dent in California was 27,058, and it WPS expected, before the expiration, to increase to 47,058. " But very few Coolies," says a California paper, " so to speak, have been known to return to China. Those who go back and spread the fever are principally small traders, who were in the habit (,f fitting oat junks to go on short coasting expeditions. This class of Chinese coming to California with their little ventures' dispose of them here, making what would in China be a fortune. Perhaps they dig a little in the mines; and, returning to their homes aneacquaintances, puffed in monetary im portance, and swaggering about some Celestial Montgo mery-street in breezy breeches, and with gold enough to buy a small cartload of strings of China coin, have been the principal means of freighting our shores with the inoffensive moon-eyed children of the sun. A great deal of excitement had been caused among the Chinese population by a manifesto from the great " Atti :" " Who claims to hold the power supreme over all the Chinese in the land of gelid. The document which has caused this great commotion is of the nature of a reward for one Le-Achan, well known as an interpreter and sort of general agent for his brethren in their tran sactions with the outside barbarians, or white folks. Atti accuses Achan of all sorts of devili h s devices to defraud and degrade his nation ; that he encourages the payment of licences, poll-tax, and other imposi tions, to such a degree that not a real escapes his rapa city. All men of the three great }longs (provinces) are called upon to know that 300 dollars will be given for the suppression of Le-Achan. Among other high handed measures of the magnificent Atti he has sent a committee to the residence of a number of women from the flawry land, to inform them that, unless they for sook their evil ways, and clung only to their own people, they should forfeit their lives. He warns them of the dreadful tortures in store for the disobedient, who are taken to the :great house, ',C-yapin-coon,' where they will be stripped and bastinadoed on the bare back, and compelled to suffer other miseries too horrible to men tion. The poor creatures were allowed two days to de cide what to do, and dreadful consternation was created among them. The edict of the Royal "Atti' is written on crimson paper." The clipper ship Staffordshire, erroneously re ported to have been wrecked, had arrived at San Francisco. The mortality on board vessels arriving at the Californian ports was truly frightful. The journals do not contain any mining intelligence. There were some rumours of an intended movement to make Lower California an independent state. Advices from Oregon mention that a pitched battle had taken place near Table Rock, thebetween conclusion of which a treaty of peace was made. The miners on the Klamath, Salmon, and R ogue r i vers were doing well, and several rich discoveries had been made. One man is said to have washed out of a sack of dirt up wards of 1,017 dolls . 50 e. . another took out of Ro g ue slyer a piece of gold worth 500 dolls.

A young man shot a German through the heart. The murderer was seized. 114 of the pase sengers voted that he should be hung and thirty-two were opposed to it. During the interval between the sentence and the execution the dead body was brought on deck, exhibiting its ghastly wounds. The pre parations were made, and after allowing the con demned man a quarter of: an hour over his time, he was run up to the yardarm. When life became ex tinct he was cut adrift, fell upon his face into the sea, and continued floating till left out of sight by the ship. The commander of the Swedish frigate Eugenie had exchanged courtesies with the King and intro duced Mr. Hatchfield as resident Consul for Swede and Norway. The activity in the New York Stock Market re ported last steamer still continued, and there were no sound dividend-paying stocks pressing on the market. Government and State securities, together with the various railroad bonds, were in good demand. The demand for money continued very active, but, the supply being very abundant, no alteration is rata took place. .:;,-,~: INDISPUTABLE LIFE POLICY COMPANY. TRUSTEES.
