ALLSOPP and SONS regret the necessity of again alluding to a statement put forth by Messrs. Bass and Cc, 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 shown in a former advertisement, notwithstanding which Messrs. Bass have pertinaciously refused to withdraw the same, thus rendering it in cumbent upon Messrs Allsopp to lay before the pnblic the folowing detailed account of the actual transactions in Pale Ale shipped by themselves and Messrs. Bass respec'ivelv. In order to avoid the pos. sibility of mistake, the moat careful examination of the official re ports of the Indian markets, 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. ENCYCLOP/EDIA BRITANNICA. Seventh Edition.

On 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 83 rupees (50 libels). On the 14th of December Messrs. Lyall, Matheson, and Co., say, " No sales of Bass's Ale Live been mode for some time p as t ; we cannot, therefore, give an actual quotation ; but rupees 67 to 70 may be considered its value, er 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 rupees, and Messrs- Allsopp's at 75 rupees per hhd. ; and on the 17th of January they even quote actual sales at 1/0 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 shipment of 10 butts by the " Tecumseh," 8 of which, having been consumed on board the vosel, v ere charged to the owners at 91 rupees per hhd. as by account sales rendered• 17th January, 1844, the remaining two be ng landed at Calcutta and sold, one by private sale, at 81 rupees per lihd.. and the other (ullaged) at 70. .1 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 Messrl. Allsopp, ha• ing applied to Messrs. Bass and Co., for account sales confirmatory of this statement, are informed by them that "there are no account oases corresponding therewith." MADRAS. The last recorded sales of Beer on the spot (Oct. 18) stood thus : Allsopp.. ...... 70 rupees per hhd. I Bass 65 rupees per hhd. Messrs.

Haviside and Co., was for :,le of the present season to arrive; while, at the sane period, Messy s. Hall and Co., of Madras, had refused that price for 4.0 hhds. of AllEopp's.

The returns Allsopp from the however,the Ist o f October to the grossly untrue, inasm uc h as they have un d e rstated the shipments of Messrs. Allsopp in that time to the extent of 60 hrds. to Calcutta alone. It is true that Messrs. Allsopp's shipments at this period wer e unusually small, and that, with the exception of about 200 hhds., 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 to observe, 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 1845, lest they shou'd not be strictly correct, but from Oc tober, 1841, to October, 1812, they were as follows, as admitted by Messrs. Bass:— Bombay. Madras and Calcutta. Total Hhds. Allsopp 3,910 ............ 594 ... ,5 Bass Messrs. Allsopp have only to remark that the shipments of the subsequent year have been as nearly as po Fib le in the same proportion, notwithstanding Messrs.

In closing the above exposition of the advertisement put forth by Messrs Bass, it is necessary to state that, on a private representa tion of its gross incorrectness being made to that firm by Messrs.

Elphinstone; Esq., MY.; and his friends ; Mr. Briscoe, attended by his friends, in a gay equipage. There were no banners of any description to be seen, and.blit very few colours of either party. Never was seen such a revolution in election proceedings in Hastings ; yet we finclit approved by all classes: The Mayor (Dr. M'Cabe) having arrived, and the usual preliminanes-having been gone through, Major JEFFRIRS presented himself to propose Musgrave Briscoe, 'of Coghurst-hall l Esq., as representative for this bo . - rough. He said Xr._liriscoe was a gentleman well known to them, lived among:them, had familyconnexions living in the town, was a Conservative in politics, at the same time not opposed to the 'reform of all provedubuses. • Mr. F. Stout seconded the nomination. kr. B. SMITH, M.P., said he had heard a great deal from the proposer and seconder of Mr. Briscoe, with respect to cer tain mansions, but he• did not understand distinctly what they meant. He had not one word to say against Mr. Briscoe as a private gentleman—he was llotiourable, kind, charitable, and humane - ; but he did not understand thatthey were come here to elect a gentleman for such qualities to represent them in Parliament.—(Hear, - hear.) They required a man who would take a large and extensive view of the capabilities of this great country, and apply his energies to develope them. The broad acres of Mr. Briscoe could avail him but little with all his benevolence in relieving the great distresses which existed in this country, crippled as it was by bad legislation, the result of the government of the lan: . d aristocracy, to the detriment of the labouring' classes. - 'he Hon.

'For 29, years we had had a cora-law, and ddring that time we had" bnoUght hi a' thousand millions pounds' worth of goods, whieh bad been.paid for by the labour of this country. ,During the same period we had purchased fifty millions', ;worth of fOreign cord, and that corn had been paid for in gold. - It was nor tote wondered at that a dread of a drain of gold should exist, and it would; it must at times exist under the present laws, because the demand was not regular ; and when corn was required, the demand for goods did not arise in an equal degree ; or, from the supply not being anticipated, the goods were not at hand; but if the demand was regular, that would not occur. In the year 1836 the effect was most severely felt. The of that year was promising, but, after July the prospect changed, and speculation set to work to purchase all the,corn in other parts. It came in, and the consequence was, to reduce, the bullion in the coffers of the Bank of England beTOw two 'millions. The' Leariied Gen tleman. next contrasted the state of our exports to that country now as compared with what it was in ' proportion when their population was only one-fifth ' - of the present.'

The. Directors had now done their duty, in bringing the matter under the notice of the Proprietors ; and he thought it was better that the plan they proposed should go forth to the public through the usual channels, so that all holders of the stock should at once be made aware that the plan would be brought forward immediately. A PROPRIETOR inquired in what way the prospectus would be forwarded to the Proprietors? The OWE...maim—Either through the Post-office or by hand ; but any Proprietor who did not have one forwarded to him, might obtain one by application at the office. On the motion of Mr. Mocarra, thanks were voted to the Chairman and Directors. The CHAIRMAN briefly acknowledged the compliment, after which the Court adjourned.

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING.—A most unfair and improper attempt to disturb the meeting of Mr. O'Connell's friends, to be held in the Amphitheatre this evening, has been made by the ultra-Tories of this town, by circulating exten sively, and posting on the walls a placard signed " A Car penter," stating that it was the intention of that enemy to the Queen, and ally of the Pope, Daniel O'Connell, to be present at the meeting, and calling upon the carpenters to at tend also, and do their duty. This placard was extensively circulated yesterday. In the afternoon a requisition to the Mayor was got up, and placed in the room adjoining the Ex change News-room, calling upon that worthy functionary to put a stop to the meeting, because the excitement created in the minds of the loyal inhabitants would not permit the meeting to take place without interruption and great danger to the public peace. It did not, however, meet with very great success, having received only fifty-seven signatures. It will be presented this morning; but we can hardly sup pose that our Chief Magistrate will think it necessary , to bestow attention on it. The meeting will be held, and we have no doubt will be peaceable and orderly in itself, though it may perhaps require the assistance of the police to keep in order the turbulent Orange faction who may come there to interrupt. The following is a copy of the requisition to the Mayor : " Liverpool, Wednesday, March 27, 1844. " Sir,—We, the undersigned, having noticed that a meet ing has been called, by placard, to take place to-morrow (Thursday) evening at the Amphitheatre, for the purpose of sympathising with convicted conspirators,' impugning the justice of the administration of British laws on the occasion of the recent State Trials in Ireland, and interfering with the judgment still pending, cannot refrain from expressing to your Worship our sense of the indecency of such meeting, and our firm conviction, that such is the excitement which it is creating in the minds of the loyal people of this borough, that it will not be permitted to take place without interrug• tion and great danger to the peace of the town. We, there fore, respectfully request, that your Worship will use the functions of your magisterial office to prevent such meeting being held as proposed." SUICIDE OF AN ENGLISHMAN IN FRANCE.. , —The Semaphore of Marseilles states that an Englishman a few days ago put up at the Hotel Paradis, in that city, and en joyed himself during his stay very heartily. He had plenty of money, and spent it freely. One day his absence from the table d'hote being observed, a waiter was sent up to his room to call him. The door being found locked inside, and no one replying when the man knocked, it was thought ad visable to burst it open. The unfortunate man was found lying on the floor, with a razor near, with which he had cut hie throat. _ _ _ ~~ MYSTERIOUS CASE.—Shortly after twelve o'clock on Thursday, a fine young woman, most respectably attired, about twenty years of age, was taken out of the City-road basin ; there is a very severe wound over the forehead, but whether it has arisen from violence, or by coming into con tact with the barges, is at present unknown. The body ap pears to have been in the water about twelve days. At a later period of the day her name was ascertained to be Eliza Jukes FATAL ACCIDENT.—Mr. Carter, the coroner, held an inquest at the King and Queen, Rotherhithe, as to the death of Richard Herbert Penderell, aged 29, who was drowned under very melancholy circumstances. It appeared by the evidence that the deceased was a waterman, and was very often attacked with fits. On Thursday last he had just landed a fare, and.was returning to King and Queen Stairs, when Inspector Judge, of the Thames police, saw him stand up in the boat and extend his arms, the usual signal he made when he felt the approach of the fits, and almost instantly he fell into the river. Inspector Judge rowed to the spot, and having got the drags searched for the body, which was taken out in about a quarter of an hour. Every means were resorted to to restore life, but medical skill was unavailing. It was stated in the room that the deceased Was in expecta tion of considerable property, as a descendant of Richard Penderell, who assisted in the escape of Charles 11., after the battle of Worcester. Penderell's monument is behind the altar in the church of St. Giles-in-the-Fields. A verdict of " Accidentally drowned" was returned. EAST ANGLIAN RAILWAYS. Yesterday special meetings of the Proprietors of the Northe rn an d Eastern and Eastern Counties Companies, were held at the Shorcditch station. The Proprietors of the Northern and Eastern Com ny met at twelve o'clock , when, in the absence of Mr. W. Marshall. M.P., chairman of the Directors, Mr. Paterson pre sided. The draft of a Bill to empower the Directors to apply to Parliament for leave to make certain deviations in the Newport Extension Line, was submitted to the meeting and agreed to. The Chairman stated that it had likewise been determined on, by the Directors of the joint Companies, to apply to Parliament in the next session to e x t en d th e rail way from Ely to Lincoln, through Wisbeach, Lynn, Spald ing, and Boston. At the meeting of the Eastern Counties Proprietors, Mr. H. Bosanquet presiding, a Bill was read and agreed to for extending the line by Cambridge and Ely, and from thence to Brandon and Peterborough. The Chairman stated that the Bill now before Parliament, for the amalga mation of the interests of the two Companies, was not likely to meet with opposition. TRIED BRANDY.—At the last Gloucestershire Ad journed Sessions, a girl was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a pint of brandy (it was produced in Co ur t) from her master. The girl was acquitted; but the jury, with exemplary partiality, not only tried the girl, but the brandy too; for they conscientiously emptied the bottle. The liquor being drunk, the jury appended to their verdict—" below prool."—Punch, lowed to import wheat, which- tltelA customers in Americl, Galt, wile Was intimately accitial had, and were wining to give in paytkient of their debts. .. % I teration' and witli Canada, ; Mr. Smog next Addressed; or rat attempted to address t .'Deput*Governor, Mt.

On Wednesday the Half-yearly Meeting of the Proprietors of shares in this corporation was held at the Company's House, St. Helen's-place, pursuant to the terms of the charter. The Governor, Mr. Charles Franks, in the chair. The minutes of the last Court were read by the Secretary, Mr. Perry, and confirmed. The first business of the day, the CHAIRMAN said, was the election of a Governor for three years, and of three Directors, and one Auditor. It was resolved unanimously that Mr. Charles Franks should be elected as Governor, and that Sir John Easthope, Mr. A. Humphreys, and Mr. Stokes, should be re-appointed as Directors. _ _ Dlr. Wilson was again appointed as Auditor. The GOVERNOR then proceeded to state the operations for the past year. The sales of land in the Crown reserves had been 12,838 acres, at an average of 13s. 7d. per acre, and in the Huron tract there had been disposed of 8,705 acres, at an average of 12s. Id. per acre, making a total of 21,543 acres, the produce of which had been 13,804/. currency. This was independently of the town lots that had been purchased. There had been leased of Crown reserves 88,805 acres, pro ducing an annual rental of 2,769/., or equal to 10s. sd. per acre, and the leases granted in the Huron tract,. for the year ending on the 31st of December last, were 63,9071 acres. The leases were granted for twelve years, at a rental by which, if regularly paid, the land would become the pro perty of the occupier, and consequently alienated from the Company,. The total quantity of land leased and sold was 194,255 acres. The Governor then read a statement of the receipts and expenditure of the Corporation from its com mencement, which was considered satisfactory. The Com pany had 1,378,189 acres of land paid for, but still unsold. The quantity purchased from the Government was 2,484,413 acres; of this there had been 982,941 acres sold, and 123,313 acres had yet tote paid for, the Company having the option of taking the latter. Since the commencement of the year there had been sold in the Crown reserves 1,500 acres, and in the Huron tract 800 acres. There had been leased in fhe former 3,800 acres, and in the latter 7,290 acres, an increase over the operations of the same period of 1842 of 3,753 acres. In the receipts there had been an increase' this year of 2,842/, The plan of leasing the land had been most bene ficial, and the rents hitherto had been punctually paid. The passing of the Canadian Corn Bill, which had come into operation in October last, had been productive already of the most beneficial effects, and no doubt could be en tertained, that it would continue to be so. Through the exertions of the Company's Commissioners, Mr. Jones and Mr. Widder, the sales of the Company's lands had been greatly increased, while those on the part of the Government had been but few. The Governor read extracts from the correspondence received from the Commissioners, in which the rising prosperity of the settlers was spoken most highly of. Markets for their produce were easily found, and for cash. They believed that emigration this year would be consider ablyincreased, as many from Scotland, as well as Protestant families from Ireland, were coming to join their relatives who had already settled in Upper Canada. An extensive ship ment of flour was expected to take place from Montreal. The colonists on the Company's lands were improving, as was shown by the remittances made to their poorer relatives in the United Kingdom, which, upon an average, had in the last year been 9/. for each individual who had sent home money to fathers, mothers, &c., through the Company's . agency, and which was done gratuitously. The total amount so remitted from Canada to the Company last year was 2,990/. ; and by the last letters 600/. in addition, similarly destined, were advised. This showed that the settlers upon the Com pany's lands were prosperous, and that the position in which the colony was placed was improving. The accounts were ordered to be printed, thanks were re turned to the Directors, and the meeting adjourned. SOUTH-SEA HOUSE. On Thursday a Quarterly General Court of Proprietors of South-Sea Stock was held at the Company's House, in Threadneedle-street; Charles Franks, Esq., the Sub-Gover nor, in the Chair. The minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. The CIIAIRMAN said that the present was the Half-yearly General Court, and that the only business before it was for him to make the usual declaration of the amount of the Company's bond debt, and which was 4,500/. The CHAIRMAN then said it had been requested that he would at each Court of Proprietors state what was the amount of the guarantee fund—it was now 376,000/. Three per Cent. stock. The Court was aware that a long time ago some of the Proprietors had expressed their regret that the Company did So little with the capital which it possessed, and several objects had, at different times, been suggested, to which that capital might be applied with advantage. He could assure the Court that the Directors did not wish to be idle ; on the contrary, it was their anxious wish to promote the interests of the Proprietors by every means in their power; but it did so happen that the facilities for so doing were not equal to that desire on their parts. The Company was originally established for trading purposes. Its capital was subsequently advanced to Government, and its funds had since been treated and looked upon the same as other Govern ment securities. The majority of the persons holding that Stock were persons who looked only to the amount of their dividends, and there was consequently a very great difficulty on the part of the Directors in undertaking any fresh matter, the holders of Stock not being persons who were willing to run any risk or hazard, and the Directors, therefore, felt that any plan they proposed for the employment of the capital of the Company must be limited to a something which did not involve any risk ; and on considering that the plan must be one of that nature, it had occurred to them, and it had also been frequently suggested by the Proprietors, that the Com pany might act as trustees of either public or private trusts. They had taken that subject into their most serious consi deration and although business of that kind could not be conducted under the power of the charter, they still thought that the Proprietors as a body might make some arrange ment by deed by which the business to which he had alluded might be conducted.

NEW ZEALAND - COMPANY. An adjourned meeting of the Directors and Propri&• tors of the New Zealand Company was held ,yesterday, at. their house in 'Broad -street-buildings. JosEru SOnES, Esq., the Governor of the .Societi, took the chair, at one o'clock. Amongst those connected with the Society, we noticed the following noblemen and gentlemen:—Lord Petre, Lord CourtenaY, Sir "Ralph Howard, M.P., Mr. Aglionby, M.P., Mr. J. A. Smith, Mr. Young, Mr. Marjoribanks, M.P., and Mr. Hutt, M.P. The object of the meeting was to lay before the Pro prietors the results of a communication, which it was decided at the last meeting, on the 29th of February, should be opened between the Directors and the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, with respect to the tenure of land in the colony of New Zealand. The SECRETARY proceeded to read to the meeting the result of the communication ; it was as follows : That it was not until yesterday that the Directors received any intimation of the views of the Secretary of State far the Colonies upon this matter. They were then honoured with some unofficial communication, from which they understood that her Majesty's Government were disposed to entertain favourably the proposal of pecuniary assistance being offered by them to the New Zealand Company upon the following conditions : First, that such assistance should not exceed 44,000/. Secondly, that it should be applied to the payment of debts now unpaid by the Company which had been drawn from the colonies to provide for the employment of labourers, and to the payment of such other bills as may be drawn for the same purpose during the interval which must elapse before the report could be received. The Directors had also received as surance of the desire of the Government to maintain the most cordial relations with the Company in carrying on the work of colonisation, and that the instructions sent to Captain Fitzroy, would have the effect of quieting the settlers who had obtained land under the Com pany, and of facilitating the permanent ac quisition of land in that country. The Direc tors, therefore, thought it would be wrong to offer any partial information to .the present meeting, as they conceived it indispensible to the establishment of the Company on a satisfactory basis, that the points at issue should be settled. They new conceived it to be their duty to lay before the meeting this much of the communication which they received from the Noble Lord. The Directors wished that the present meeting should be adjourned until Friday, April 19—assuring the meeting at the same time that they should have preferred having an earlier day were it not that the near approach of the Easter holidays precluded the hope of their sooner being able to lay before them the full information which they must raise before they could prudently determine on their further course of proceeding. Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, and Mr. PERCIVAL having moved and seconded the adoption of the report, it ARS received nem con. ,_._ ~~.,._ _ On the motion of Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. Attention has been called to a case under the re cent statute of 5 and 6 Victoria, c. 116, for the relief of insol vent debtors, to show the impossibility of carrying into effect the intention of the Legislature. In the beginning of last year a debtor presented a petition to the Court of Bank rnptcy, a creditors' assignee was chosen, the assets were realised and paid into the Bank of England, and everything seemed mature for making a division of the estate. The so licitor to the assignees applied to the Commissioner to ap point an audit, and proceed to a dividend ; but he decided that he had no power under the statute to comply with the request, suggesting, however, that a dividend might be made with the written consent of the insolvent. This was ob tained ; but the Commissioner still expressed doubts, and de dined acting; whereupon the official assignee consented to take upon himself the responsibility of applying for an audit, and dividing the estate upon being furnished with a similar consent from the insolvent. This was again procured, and it was determined to have an audit meeting at the office of the official assignee, and afterwards to proceed to a dividend in the same manner as under an assignment for the benefit of creditors ; but here an insurmountable obstacle occurred, for the solicitor's bill having been taxed for the pur pose of ascertaining the actual amount there would be to divide, and the allocatur taken to the Crmmissioner for the purpose of procuring an ,order to pay the money out of the Bank, the Commissioner declined to make any order, stating that he had had a conference with the rest of the Comthis sioners, who thought they had no power to act in the mat ter. The result, therefore, is, that the money remains in the Bank of England, that the insolvent is completely protected from all legal process (his protection having been granted, of course, during the proceedings), and that the creditors are deprived of all benefit whatever, though a fair division of an estate is the principal object of the statute. Such a state of things seems imperatively to demand such an alteration of the law as will give additional authority to the Commis sioners. — Times. The wood-paving in Cheapside, upon Perry's safety principle, was yesterday thrown open to the traffic frem St. Paul's Churchyard, being a week earlier than was anticipated. This is very creditable to the contractors, and should be regarded as a precedent on all similar occasions in the metropolis, where every interruption to free passage, how ever temporary, is so extremely inconvenient. SPRING.—The prevalence of cutaneous visitations at this period of the year inculcates the necessity of pre serving the Skin in a pure and healthy state, so that its func tions may be duly performed. The great celebrity which " Rowland's Kalydor" exclusively maintains as an active yet mild and soothing agent for extirpating all impurities, and i pparting a healthy freshness to the Skin, is most pleasingly evinced at the present season. This balmy and odoriferous creamy liquid is composed of extracts from the most rare flowers and herbs of an eastern clime—its discovery by a lady of rank, was no less singular than its effects have been felicitous curing the last thirty years. Its universally great demand excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, who give the title of." Genuine" Kalydor to some compounds of their own manufacture of the most deleterious character, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the Com plexion, and by their repellant action endangering health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor" are on the wrapper,—All others are fraudulent counterfeits.
