Political transactions are in differently known beyond. their immediate neighbour hood, and whenever the news does travel by word of mouth or by .letters, it becoines distorted. I. send You the concluding proclamation of the Governor -General, but this is only known to the people by .English . " NOTIFICATION. Camp, Gwalior, Jan a l3, 1844. " 1. The evil advice of ill-disposed persons, cone sidering only their own interest, and not the goocl of the Gwalier State, and the resolution of the G eller army, over-confident in its strength, to endeavour to preserve the advantages it derived from its power bver the Government of Scindia; have led to two battles between the British• forces and those of (leveller, deeply to be lamented on account of the loss of brave men mutually sustained, but having for their result the secure establishment of British Supremaey. • • • " 2. The Governor-General, successful in the field, has adhered to the principles upon which the inter vention of the British Government in the a ff a i rs o f the Gwalier State w as from the first based. Ile has only used the pOwer which victory hae placed in his hands, to carry into effect the necessary measures for securing the future tranquility of the common frontier of the-two States, for establishing the just authority of the Maharajah's Government, and for providing for the proper exercise of that authority during his High ness s minority. " 3. A treaty calculated to effect these legitimate objects, and confirming former treaties, has this day been signed by the British Plenipotentiaries and the Council of'Regency, and ratified by the Governor- General and his Highness the Maharajah Jyajee Rao Scindia. "4. The accustomed friendly relations between the British Government and the Gwalior State are now restored, and the British armies will immediately re turn to their own provinces. "By order of the Right Hon. the Governor- General, " F. CURRIE. " Secretary to the Government of India, with the Governor-General. " Camp, Gwalior, Jan. 13, 1844. " (True copy.) "J. P. I VILLOUGHBY, " Secretary to the Government." In this Gwalior affair Lord Ellenborough's hands were tied from the first; he had recognised the boy, and must support him. I have always thought the recognition of the boy a mistake, but that is neither here nor there. Now he might have pensioned the Durbar, but he has chosen a less questionable course; he has espoused its cause in earnest; let us see what is made of it. If in having placed the young Rajah upon the, geld*, •and given over his territory to the charge of a Council of Regency, without an European heed-, Lord Ellenborough is content to watch its. , proceedings in future, I humbly conceive he has not done that for the interests of the minor which they imperatively demanded, and which he professes to maintain. No Regency ever was, or ever will be honestly managed by native agents, though Mysore under Poornea may be well considered an exception, and we hear of no one like him at Gwa lior ; the persons who are there have all, more or loss, been mixed up with the late intrigues, and will require to' be very closely watched in future ; and if. the young Ranee's power has not been extinguished ut terly, she will .cause more trouble by and by. If Colonel Sleeman is to have the duty of guard ing the interests of the minor, and .of teaching him his duties and responsibilities,' it is not too much to saftliat he must either neglect Gwalior or liundele kund. But this can hardly be; a Resident must be appointed to Gwalior. I would fain have seen intel ligent officers, as at Nagpoor, placed in general civil superintendence of districts, and something done to check the acts of the regency, both as regards civil administration and the Durbar affairs. Neither as yet have been done ; but the terms of the treaty are -nut known yet, and they may provide for both. If they do not, it appears to me that a worse state of- things than before has been established, because the people of the country will be under the pressure of a military power which they cannot resist, and under an irre sponsible Government, which will not fail to take•ad vantaise of it to further i's own purposes. The non interference doctrine in tliis . case seems to' have been too far stretched; and I confess I looked for a better arrangement, ensuring for the future the well-being and safety of this large territory, at the hands of the Governor-General. He may be obliged to alter his policy in future, and while the ball was at his foot he should not haee allowed the opportunity to pass of turning it into another and better channel than here tofore. . By the events at Gwalior all apprehensions for the peace of Central India are at an end ; and the Bun delkund Rajahs having now no .force like that at Gwalior to back them, will be more circumspect in future. Lerd Ellenborough's police force there is still deemed insufficient 'for the purpose of keeping the country quiet e and a new provincial battalion, 800 strong,. has been directed to be raised forthwith. Whether by this it is intended to reduce the regular force or not, I know not; or it may be that the police force is not sufficient, and that a body independent of the regular military power is - required. Yet there are strong reports that Dhuttea and several other small principalities are to be brought to a severe ac- Count for their restless intrigues ; and I should be right glad to see it was the case. At Lahore matters are quiet. It is supposed, not without reason, that an active correspondence existed between the Gwalior Durbar and this ; and that, if our arms had not been as decisively victorious as they have been, advantage would have been taken of the opportunity by' the large Sikh force now on the Sutlej. Colonel Sleeman may ferret out the truth at Gwalior—if, indeed, it be not alreadY in the Gover nor-General's possession; and if hostile thoughts have been entertained, will a remonstrance be made, and reparation or apology demanded? I do not think so at preierrt. We are watching_ the Sikhs, and they us. We have a large body of troops in an advanced position, so have they. A river only divides them, and any, cause, however slight, may bring on a collision ; it may not be immediate; but though our troops are restrained by discipline, theirs are not, and any drunken, violent, or overweening leader may, by a trifling act, bring on hostilities, which can only end in a general war— one which in his present flush of victory might not be declined b.; Lord Ellenborough. It is providen tial that the G I walior affair was settled as speedily as it was: all the disposable cavalry almost were at Gwa lior; and, as it has beers remarked, 20,000 Sikh horse might have crossed the Sutlej, and committed Vast devastation before they could have been checked. It becomes more and more strongly reported that Heera Singh intends to abandon his position at La hore, as soon as he has made a handsome provision for himself in his estates in the hills. Treasure to a very large amount, and strings of elephants, laden with jewels and other valuables, are being con stantly dispatched from Lahore to Jumbo° ; and, with what Raja Golab Singh . helped himself to, the Treasury must be pretty well cleaned out. Heera Singh contrives to hold his own wonderfully well, all things considered; and though the mem bers of the army seem to do. pretty much as they please, yet he has strength enough to lay heavy mulcts upon persons of condition, whieh he could hardly'elo Without support. There are one Or two small rebellions going on, 'and disaffection is very general . ; but the consequences will not appear yet— perhaps not till next year. It is a marvel to me that the Aff hens have not taken advantage of some mutinies among the Sikh troops at Peshawur, to attack that district, which Ifeera Singh could hardly defend. I conclude, therefore, that the assemblage of men 'for the winter was impossible. Akhar Khan had, however, arrived at Jellalabad, and was suppO,:ed to he endeavouring to get up a crusade against the infidels. The spring may disclose his intentions more faller.

Bombay, March 1. (From the Correspondent of the Times.) By the last mail you will have received full ac. counts of the battles near Gwalior, which have in. vited the strictures of the press here, and no doubt will be fully commented upon in England, to the ad vantage and disadvantage of all concerned. No one will for a moment deny that in both actions, so gal-. • lantly disputed by . the Mahratta troops,' the British regiments and the Sepoys even surpassed their former deeds of bravery; and that in those despe rate charges up to the Very . muizle of well-served cannon, loaded with grape, canister, round; and chain shot, declared by the Peninsular •veterans present the heaviest fire they had ever seen, the con duct of . the troops, both European. and Native could not have been surpassed by that of any in the world. Whole sections were mowed down as the advance was steadily made, which never faltered for a moment, and ire the first arid last deadly volley within 50 paces of the muzzles of the guns, and the headlong charge afteryvards, we see the admirable discipline of well-organised troops, and a -devotion to the cause of the'British Government which, though often befOre put to the test, has ezhaps never been More daringly displayed. The loss . Of native corps equalling, if not exceeding, those of the Crown, both in men and officers proves them to have been not a whit less daring , tl;an their European comrades; and the Government of India and the Governor-General, are, as they have a just right to be, truly proud ,of them.

NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR- A_XCE SOCIETY, 26, CORNHILL, LONDON. Capital .C 500,000. • Empowered by Act of Parliament. The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder daring life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums PUBLICATIONS. On the tactics displayed by the Commander-in- Chief much_ comment has been, and will be, made, and all have joined in declaring that, under more precaution, the affairs at Maharajpoor might have been concluded with comparatively little loss. I doubt this in any case, but it is due to the Comman der to consider well the dispositions made before any charge is brought against him for risking the event or the lives of his troops by undue exposure. It was believed . on the 28th that the enemfs whole force was concentrated at Chounda, with the river Ahsin in their immediate rear, affording good oppor tunity to escape, with comparatively little loss, should the engagement prove unfavourable to them ; and the Quartermaster-General had fully reconnoitred that village, and been fired upon from it. It might, therefore, be well presumed by the Commander-in- Chief, from the general experience of Indian armies in intrenching camps, that the Mahrattas would hardly change their position suddenly, but would en deavour to strengthen further what they had deter mined upon. Maharajpoor and the other villages were supposed to be unoccupied; and, as the troops were directed upon them, I conclude it had been in tended to make a temporary halt, and such further dispositions as would turn the flank of the Chounda position, and so render the action short and decisive. These intentions were, however, frustrated by the intelligence of the Mahratta commanders, who with excellent judgment took up, during the night of the 28th, the triangular position of Maharajpoor, defended on both flanks by ravines over which cavalry and horse-artillery could not pass, commanding the road of the advancing troops, and placing them between the concentrated fire of several powerful and well served batteries, the existence of which was not known, or even guessed at, until the troops were within range, upon a plain which afforded no shelter whatever. I think it may well be said that the motions of the enemy ought to have been closely watched during the night, and that blame here attaches itself to the intelligence department. A few patrols thrown out during the night, or a few small parties of intelligent sepoys, armed in the native fashion, would have brought the necessary information, possibly with acme risk, still the attempt might have been made, and would, I have no doubt, have proved successful. The disposition of the infantry might then have been changed, so as to have outflanked Maharajpoor, &c. The cavalry might have been directed to the rear, to cut off the retreat- Now ready, price I s., PERUVIAN and BOYAVIAN .

Above all, what heavy ar tillery remained with the army might have been brought up to cover the advance, instead of those light guns which produced no effect upon the Mah ratta batteries, and suffered severely. Thus the Commander-in-Chief might have availed himself of all arms. This is but theory, however; the practice proved very different. As the Mahrattas opened their fire, Sir Hugh Gough saw that he had, as it were, fallen into an ambush, and had but one of two alternatives —either to withdraw his troops out of fire, manoeuvre to outflank Maharajpoor, and.in the interim advance his artillery, or do as he did —carry the batteries at once. He preferred the latter ; indeed, there seems to have been no t wo thoughts upon the subject. Ge neral Littler's column promptly attacked Alaharajpoor in front, and that of General Valiant having made a short detour to the right to outflank the battery, de ployed and advanced to the right and rear of the posi tion, under a heavy fire. The two brigades met in the village, driving all before them, and afterwards carried two other batteries in . succession, which opened on them.as•that - of Maha:ajpoor was silenced. To have retired or halted would have checked the ardour of the men, and the hope of the artillery being able to silence the fire of the Mah ratta batteries, protected as they were by mud walls, and houses, was futile. There were no heavy guns near, which alone could have destroyed the de - fences of the enemy, and to have trusted to the light pieces present would only have delayed What was in evitable at last. It is true, if the troops could have made an extemive detour right and left, and left the artillery to cannonade in front, some loss might have been saved; but, again, the troops. were already within range, and the fire and loss already severe. To have moved parallel to the batteries would have ex posed the flanks of the brigades ; the day was already advanceil, and the sun high; delay would have fa tigued the men in a heavy march through fields, and those only who know the exhaustion consequent upon such a movement can appreciate it properly. Water was not to be had, probably, unless in the villages, a: Li therefore there was nothing left but at once to make the dash which proved so brilliant and so deci sive. As it was, the action was not over till noon, and with troops tired by manoeuvres and detours, the issue against enemies so well provided and so despe rate might have proved very different. Sir Hugh Gough says he had underrated his ene mies, and the result proves that he had. When will our Commanders do justice even in anticipation to the resolution of native armies well provided with ar tillery P. At any rate, Sir Hugh Gough found them made of very different stuff from the Chinese • and if he was not told by his staff, that whenever the Mah rattas were found their artillerymen and infantry would defend their guns to the last, they were strangely uncommunicative upon a point notorious to every man who has the least experience of native sol diery. All Golundage or native artillerymen, whe ther Hindoos or Mahomedans, believe guns to be en dued with supernatural power; the Hindoos ' especially, that they are incarnations, as it were, of Bhowanee or Kalee. All guns are treated with superstitious reverence ; all receive sanc tified names, • expressive of their powers, and to all divine honours are paid on occasion of the Dussera, or other festivals. The loss of British troops at Mehidpoor and Assaye was owing to them alone, and the obstinate courage with which they were defended by the Mahrattas on those occasions ought to have suggested more precaution than was exerted on this. Leaving the action itself as a hurried, dash ing, gallant display of bull-dog courage, * it is neces sary to revert to the previous day ; and here it must be owned that the Commander-in-Chief was wanting in the best part of a general's duty—watchfulness. The enemy was at Chounda, and, besides the precau tions I have before suggested, could n ot a couple of light .b b le ri . g ,f a t d ,r es possible Col. Gordon ha have o b r e el en hadthr thrown fi fo r r e w d a r rd upon, a to s ortlp a y s the villages in front of Chounda? Mahrattas would not have attempted to manoeuvre their artillery in the field, or if they could have been drawn out, it would have led to a more bloodless and more decisive action. Their cavalry never crossed the river behind Chounda; their infantry was uselesa without their guns; and the whole might have been confined, for the night at least, to the first position, for the attack of which the Commander-in Chief's arrangements were scientifically made. On consideration of the whole, the enemy appears to have been the better tactician of the two; and the scientific distribution of his guns, and his advance from Chounda, prove the originator of the movement, whoever he was, black fellow or white, to have: been. a very clever fellow. There were English deserters who served some Mali ratta guns, and who fell at them. One of these men may have given .opinions as to the:disposition of force, which were taken up and acted upon by the Mahrat tas. Altogether the action has been a Sharp lesson to Sir Hugh, and I hope will lead him 'to exert some In one thick vol.; Eighth Edition, much enlarged, price 16s.

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE TEREE PAPERS, Morning, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. of his old Peninsular expxience, which may have been . , blunted in China. Si x ty gu ns in China would have been carried with a loss of twenty - Men.; here we • have had nearly 1,000 put hors de combat. As to Sir Hugh, in the fight he ap pears to have been nowhere except in the thick of it, cheering on the infantry up to the guns. I will not say a word against this daring, except that it perhaps might have been left to the generals of division. Had Sir Hugh-Gough more generally directed operations, he . might have made better use of his cavalry, which were inactive, thOugh burning for the fray, simply • from the Circunistance•of being told to hold their own, and of not knOwing exactly_vvhat to do or where to go. The right brigade moved round the flank of Maharaj poor, was,met by a withering fire of grape from bat-. teries which it could not charge ; the left could not get round Shikarpoor on account of the ravines ' • and it seems to be the regret of . all, that so noble a force had not an opportunity of charging with effect. The enemy appears to have got well off. Driven from Maharajpoor and Shikarpoor, they found protection behind the third battery, And thence escaped through the ravines across the Ahsin river, and so to Gwalior. The cavalry could not cross that river, as the only pas sage was entirely blocked up,,and pursuit beyond Chounda there was none. I do not notice General Grey's action, for it seems to have been a more deliberate one, equally gallantly fought, and with comparatively less loss, owing to manoeuvres suggested by the enemy's position, and most admirably executed after a long march in the sun. Here some 4,000 men routed 12,000 with every advantage of position, took their guns, and were only prevented by darkness and fatigue from annihilating the whole. _Here again the Sepoys vied with the Europeans in acts of daring, and excited the admira tion of all. The Governor-General's position on the field of battle was noticed and blamed; at first it appeared blameworthy, but not so now. He accompanied the army, as did the ladies, on the march, and probably was as little prepared for what followed as Sir Hugh Gough. Having got, as it were, of a sudden into the very thick of it, he could not run, but, like a gallant English gentleman, as he is, kept his ground as the brigades advanced. Some people choose to sneer at his distribution of gold mohurs and oranges to the wounded ; but take my word for it, his Lordship, of his own tact, or of good advice, has found out the real secret of popularity among the troops ; and though you may say this is more necessary in a Commander in-Chief than in a Governor-General, he is not to be sneered at for it, except when he makes blustering proclamations, as he did when the Somnauth gates were brought to Ferozepore. His Lordship was a griffin then, as new-corners are usually termed here, and did odd things, which have passed by. He has again distributed sweetmeats by cartloads at Gwalior, and many a Sepoy has heartily enjoyed them, and thanked his Lordship while splici ng th e mainbrace in this simple fashion ; but we have no trumpeting forth of the matter, and the object is gained which was desired, and no room is left for persons to be facetious about what nine-tenths do not- understand. _ . At Gwalior matters have progressed^ to the con summation apparently desired without further fight ing, though some apprehensions were entertained of further resistance at the capital, where there was a large force and some 200 guns in position in the various camps. The regular GWalior contingent was placed early in the fort, and some guns mounted to command the camps. After a few days' negotiation, Colonel Stubb, Sir Richmond Shakespeare, &c., brought the men of the Gwalior forces to terms, their arrears were paid up, and to those discharged three months' gratuity was given. The whole have dispersed or are dispersing, except those who have re-enlisted for the new contingent; and the once factious, arrogant, and presumptuous Cumpoos of Gwalior, which, with their4oo guns, were considered invincible, are gone for ever. A new force under English officers is to be forthwith enlisted, and while it will prove an efficient protection for the Gwalior State, and protect the country from in ternal revolt, it will further strengthen our interestsin Central India. It will be as large and efficient in a short time as that of his Highness the Nizam, - which has hitherto preserved that important State from in ternal disquiet, supported the succession, and been ready to afford aid on all occasions to the interests of the Government of India. On the 20th of January, the Governor-General having finished his diplomatic employment seated the young Ma— harajah on the guddee, with every ceremony, and declared that he henceforth occupied it with the full consent of the British Government, and having done this, and generally set matters in a fair train, his Lordship has left the rest to Colonel Sleeman, and Governor Stubbs, and departed in the direction of Calcutta, after two exciting months and two vic tories, adding further to his power in India, and to his popularity among the native troops. The Gwalior State has paid 26 lacs towards the expenses of the war, so that the events which have occurred will be no burden to the Company's treasury, and a native report has it, that the Ranee has ordered the dis tribution of 60 rupees to each European, and 30 to each native soldier, as a free gift from the State for the moderation they have displayed, and the respect of property which they have observed. There is, perhaps, no truth in this. A division of six infantry regiments, with some cavalry and artillery,,under General Littler, remain at Gwalior for the present, as a precautionary measure, and the rest of the Army of Exercise has broken up, and is moving on various cantonments. • _ Now, with you many will cry for much praise of Lord lleaborough for his moderation in the hour of conquest at Gwalior, and for not yielding to the temptation of subverting a dynasty, and attaching 2,000,0001.. sterling of revenue to the British Crown, as they did blame when Sinde was taken possession of; but I, confess that, for one, I must express my dissent, for if ever there has been a case of down right treachery and insincerity in India, it has been the present. You are aware of my opinions upon the Sinde acquisition, and they have not changed, nor will change by the lapse of time. I thought that an act of oppression and wrong, and I think so now ; but the annexation of Gwalior, if considered as far as we know of the circumstances, and I do not know if any have not transpired, 'would have been perfectly justifiable, that is, if the existing Go- Government of the Maharanee was considered a a re sponaible one. I need not repeat the former history of this State, nor how it gradually fell by a succes sion of weak and singular intriguing administrations of women and young Rajahs, to a position in which it almOst Voluntarily renounced independence by the submission of every question of importance to the British Government. I will not repeat, either, the substance of the proclamations of the Governor- General, which gave succinct but ample explanations of the causes of disagreement. I can only say, that when a semi-independent State like that of Gwalior puts itself forward, not only in an attitude of hostility, but of defiance, and at the same time Ipossesses such decided power of doing mis chief, some settlement of the numberless breaChes of treaty was imperatively necessary; and as from the time Colonel Spiers left Gwalior, then only on the failure of all negotiations to the present, some six months had elapsed, the whole. period being occupied with' correspondence, it was impossible to bring the Court to reason without a display of force. In most cases this has been effective, but not in the present, though to all appearances for a time it was. As the troops collected at Ag ra, the amicable pro testations of the Durbar became more earnest as they advanced. The British *demands not having been complied with, the Khasgee Wallah was g i ven up. The Gwalior vakeels waited on the Gover nor - General, a treaty was drawn up and signed, and the place fixed for a meeting between the high powers. Under the utmost professions of_ . peace from the vakeels the heavy artillery was dispatched back to Agra, and the Governor-General prepared to move forward. lVhile all this was going on, the desire of war at Gwalior became decided; preparations were made ; messengers were sent into the•independent States of Platte; Slibunsee, &c.." a correspondence was maintai ne d w ith L 2 h ore, and fleera Singh moved troops down the Sutlej to take advantage of any mis hap to us ; the Pirldh:irees of the Nemawar districts were summoned, and the troops and guns at the capital were prepared for active service. At the very time the Gwalior vakeels were with oily .tongues as suring,the. Governor-General of peace, the Ranee and the whole of the chiefs were avtively preparing for war, and, as soon as the great object of the Mahratta vakeels was effected. that of the dispatch of the heavy guns to Agra, the' Mahratta forces marched out. Now the Governor-General calls the Mahratta trotips mutinous. They appear to me the very con trary. They marched out under the Ranee s own orders (who personally upbraided those who appeared to linger),. and .decorated with chaplets of flowers, which she had sent. for the officers and guns ; and could she have gone herself, I suspect very much that she would have done: so. No one for a moment ap pears. to .have raised his voice against hostilities ; in fact, all advised her to adopt the course which she pursued, and for which she upbraids all in Durbar ALLSOPP'S PALE ALE MESSRS. ALLSOPP and SONS regret the necessity of again alluding to a statement put forth by Messrs. Bass and Co., purporting to be a correct representation of the current prices and shipments of Pale Ale to the East Indies. The incorrectness of the returns alluded to has been fully shcwn in a former advertisement, notwithstanding which Messrs. Bass have pertinaciously refuse:4 to withdraw the same, thus rendering it in cumbent upon Messrs Allsopp to lay before the public the folowing detailed account of the actual transactions in Pale Ale shipped by themselves and Messrs. Bass respectively. In order to avoid the pos. sibility of mistake, the most careful examination if Vle official re ports of the Indian markes, during a period extending over the months of November, December, and January last, has been made, and Messrs. Allsopp . confidently submit the result as a proof of the superior estimation in which their Ale is held throughout the three Presidencies. CALCUTTA. The overland " Bengal Hurkaru" (Nov. 17) says : •1 Of Allsopp's Ale 430 hhds. have been sold at Company's rupees 67 to 17 per hhd.; and of Bass's 300 hhds., at from 65 to 67 rupees." The "Review ,of the Calcutta Market" (Nov. 14) give this quo tation:— __ . 68 to 70. rps. per hhd. J Bass es to 67 rps. per hhd. On the 14th of Dec. the same price current quotes sales of 400 hhds. of Allsopp's Ale, at 72 to '75 rupees, and Bass's ditto at 70. The " Bengal Hurkaru " (Dec 19) quotes the following sales : hhds. • • rps. ans. hhds. rps. ans. 20 4 72 8 8a5,... —.lOO 6.4 0 Ditto 200 75 0 Ditto lOO 70 0 to 72 Messrs. Gladstone's reports of the market for Ale (N0v.13) were : Allsopp • C 8 to 70 rps. I Bass Oa the 14th of December the same firm quote the prices of Ale as nominal, except Allsopp's, which had been sold at 75 rupees, and on the 17th of January at 85 rupees (50 hhds). On the 14th of December, Messrs. Lyall, Matheson, and Co., say, " No sales of Basa's Ale have been made for some time past ; we cannot; tb erefore, give an actual quotation ; but rupees 67 to 70 may be considered its value, or five rupees below your own brewing." Under the head of Calcutta, Messrs. Allsopp have only to add that Messrs. Bass and Co.' have quoted sales of their own Beer at that place at 80 rnpees;and Messrs- Allsopp's at 75 rupees per hhd. and on the , 17th. of January they even quote actual sales at 90 rupees. Messrs.. Allsopp have taken some pains to ascertain the truth of these statements, and find that the ground for these quota tions is a shiptitent if 10 butts by the " Tecumseh, of which, having been consumed en board the vessel, v ere charged to the owners at 90 rupees per hhd. as by account sales rendered* 17th January, 1844, the remaining two being landed at Calcutta and sold, one by private sale, at 81 rupees per hhd., and the other (ullaged) at 70. he actual sale alluded to by Messrs. Bass and Co. on the 22d December,* at 80 rupees , turns out to be the identical parcel quoted above, and Messrs. Mackay Holt, and Co., by request of Messrs. Allsopp, having applied to Messrs. Bass and Co., for account sales con firmatory of this statement, are informed by them that "there are no account sales corresponding therewith." MADRAS. The last recorded sales of Beer on the spot (Oct. 18) stood thus : Allsopp 7O rupees per hhd. I Bass 65 rupees per hhd. Messrs. Bass and Co., state, under this head, that some of their Beer had been sold at 68 rupees 8 annas. This, however, as it ap pears from the statement of Messrs. Haviside and Co., was for :le of the present season to arrive; while, at the same period, Messrs. Hall and Co., of Madras, bad refused that price for 4( 0 hhds. of Allsopp's. The attention of the public is requested to the ingenuity of Messrs. Bass anti Co.'s representation in this instance. BOMBAY. The sales of Ale at this place, as per Price Current k Nov. 1), were-- Allsopp 200 hhds. at 65 rups. I Bass CO nips. to 61 cups The s ime Price Current (Dec. 1) says :—" We have been apprised la sale of tit) Mids. of Allsopp and Co., at 65 rupees I,er tihd ; of Bass's two sales have been reported to us, one of 52 hhds., at 61 rupees, and the other of 5 hhds., at 60 rupees. Another Price Current (Dec. 1) remarks:—" We have heard mention of 2fllhhds. of Allsopp's having been sold, since the dispatch of the last mail, at 65 rupees per hhd., which cleared the market for the time. A furtker supply of 300 hhds. has since come in, of which some had been previously sold at the above price to arrive. The de mand for this brew has been brisk throughout the month, arising, as we understand, from the very favourable reports received from the country of the quality of last season's brew." SHIPMENTS OF ALE TO INDIA. Under this head Messrs. Bass have attempted to take an advan tage in publishing the exports of Messrs. Allsopp from the Ist of October to the Ist of February last. The returns are, however, grossly untrue, inasmuch as they have understated the shipments Of Messrs, Allsopp in that time to the extent of 000 toils. to Calcutta alone. It is true that Messrs. Allsopp's shipments at this period were unusually small, and that, with the exception of about 200 nhds., their shipping season did not commence till late in November, in conse quence of very extensive alterations and enlargements in their brew ery, which increased business obliged them to make. It is necessary toobserve, however, that there is great possibility of error in arriving at the correct account of exports of Beer, and on this account Messrs. Allsopp have not ventured to publish the shipments from 1842 to 1841, lest they should not be strictly correct, but from Oc tober, 1841, to October, 1842, they were as follows, as admitted by Messrs. Bass Bombay. Madras anti Calcutta. Total Hhds. Allsopp Bass Messrs. Allsopp have only to remark that the shipments of the subsequent year have been as nearly as po sible in the same proportion. notwithstanding Messrs. Bass and Co.'s "four months' statements," when their brewery was not at work. In closing the above exposition of the advertisement put f.rth by Messrs. Bass, it is necessary to state that, en a private representa tion of its gross incorrectness being made to that firm by Messrs. Allsopp, a reply was received in which the admission a as made that, by a typographical error, some misstatement had occurred. In that letter a. alleged "corrected form" was inclosed, containing the same glaring inaccuracies, which Messrs. Allsopp have been thus com pelled to expose. Messrs. Bass and Co. were the first to adopt a system of advertising : their intention to assume a position in India asth regard to the consumption of their Beer, to which they have no claim, cannot be misunderstood; and, hewevcr repugnant to their own feelings, Messrs. Allsopp consider it due to themselves and the public to expose the misrepresentations which hare been so industriously circulated, and defend the pre-eminent position which Ale of their manufacture has invariably held both in the Ind'an and the home markets. Burton-upon-Trent, March 28, 1.41. It will be observed, as a curious fact, that these quotaions of sales are represented by two casks landed in Calcatta, one by privatu sale at 80 tupeesollend the other (ullagcd) at 70 rupees; whilst on the sa me day (17th January), Messrs. Gladstone and Co. notice a whole sale sale of 50 hhds. of Allsopp's at t 5 rupees. CHING'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES have for fifty years hell a distinguished repu • tation, and are still and increasingly patronised by the highest names in rank, respectability, and science, from a personal, knowledge of their utility in their own families. It is a tact established by the annual Bills or Mortality, that one half the children born are cut of/ before attaining seven years of age, and the fruitful source of this ny rtality is found to exist in that foul state of the stomach and bowels which produces the generation of worms. Th e symptoms usually are loss of appetite, a paleness of colour of the face, emaciated and irregular state of the bowels, attendcd w th violent pain.

THE THAMES EMBANKMENT. On Wednesday evening was held a meeting of the Metropolitan Improvement Society, at their rooms, ' 20, BedfOrd-street, Covent-garden, to take into con sideration the published plans of the Government COmmission for an Embankment of the Thames. Major-General Mercer, Dr. Southwood Smith, Messieurs Frampton, Drew, Biers, Martin, Cantwell, W. E. Hickson, Laxton, and other. gentlemen, took part in the discussion. A general feeling of gratifica tion was expressed that the Commissioners had adopted the principle of not merely embanking the river, but of so embanking it as to form a continuous thoroughfare between the bridges. From Whitehall place to Blackfriars-bridge, there would be a new carriage -road, fifty feet in width, along the edge of the river, including a pavement, of fifteen feet for foot passengers. Within this line of road a series of docks would be constructed to provide the needful accommodation for the bar g es of wharfingers, who would have the same f ac ility of access to their pre mises as at present, so that it would not be necessary to interfere with private property in any case. The defects of the plan appeared to be—first, the imperfect means of communication provided between the em bankment and the shore. These were on a very nig gardly scale, and, like the stations of .railroads, con venient only to those living in their immediate neigh bourhood. No .public communication, for example, was contemplated between Norfolk-street in the Strand and Blaekfriars-bridge, so that a person ' might actually live within three .hundred yards of the embankment, and not be able to approach it without a weary walk of a mile. The principal termini of the :roadway were also objectionable; it would be entered at right angles bath at Blackfriars-bridge and' hitehill-place, and the 'latter opening, in stead of one nearer Charing-cross, would be ex tremely circuitous and inconvenient to the whole of the. inhabitants Of. the north-west of London. At the city end, the embankment would be no relief to the naiKow - and:Crowded:thoroughfare of Ludgate-hill, as it might have been if carried along the shore, at least as far as Southwark-bridge; and 'that part of the plan, which provided a footpath only from Hunger ford-market to Westminster-bridge, and proposes to give, up the.: ground: there from the river as private gardens,' was strongly condemned. These and other defects pointed out were, however, not of a character which could not .be obviated as the work proceeded. In the general outline of the plan there was undoubted merit, and, as a whole, it was en titled to public support. The first step was the con struction of a new river walk, and it was the interest of the publiC that this object shOuld be effected with as little delay as possible. Vari ous i mprovemen t s might after Wards be introduced in the internal line of the embankment. Before the meeting broke up it .was resolved that .ft deputation from the Society should unite With a deputation from the Master Car- penters' Society to wait upon th e Ch ance ll or o f t h e Exchequer, with a view to such a rem i ss i on o f t h e window duties as would enable builders to provide for the ventilation of cellars, water-closets, &c., without being subject to taxation. During the past week three of the oldest and most esteemed magistrates of the Metropolitan county have died, viz.; Sir John Gibbons, the Rev. T. Cresswoll, and James Otley, Esq.
