The Sinde Ameers, having signni treaties, were unable to control their followers' The Gwalior Durbar, having signed treaties, werft at the same time preparing to break faith, and' fired on the first party of British troops they saw. Where is the difference, except in favour of the for mer? If the Gwalior State did not deserve exam- tion, it is only because the existing Government may be termed an irresponsible one—one for the conduct of which the young Rajah and his future interests were not to be suff e rers. But the auth o rs of the mis chief ought not to go unpunished ; and whether the young Ranee (some say she is thirteen, some twenty), or any of h er counc ill ors, a li tt l e d evou t contempla tion of the Gang es a t B enares or e l sew h ere wou ld b e of service as a warning to others. I am sorry that no general notification has been made to native States upon the Gwalior events ; at least, I have heard of none ; and I think they ought to be known in every State in India. There is not one where I would not hare the faithless transactions of the Gwalior Durbar known to its shame, and to the future warning of others. A short narrative would answer, and might be generally addressed to all, to avoid a similar course of conduct on pain of the heaviest penalty. 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 becomes 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. 13, 1844. " 1. The evil advice of ill-disposed persons, con sidering only their own interest, and not the good of the Gwalior State, and the resolution of the Gwalior army, over-confident in its strength, to endeavour to preserve the advantages it derived from its power over the Government of Scindia, have led to two battles between the British forces and those of Gwalior, deeply to be lamented on account of the loss of brave men mutually sustained, but having for their result the secure establishment of British supremacy. " 2. The Governor-General, successful in the field, has adhered to the principles upon which the inter vention of the British Government in the affairs of the Gwalior State was from the first based. He has only used the power which victory has placed in his hands, to carry into effect the necessary measures for securing the future tranquillity 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 Jilritish 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. i ` (True copy.) "J. P. NVILLOUGHBY, " 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 guddee, and given over his territory to the charge of a Council of Regency, without an European head, 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 less, 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 say that he must either neglect Gwalior or Bundel 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 not 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 vantage of it to further i's own purposes. The non interference doctrine in this 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 have 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. Lord Ellenborough's police force there is still deemed insufficient for the purpose of keeping the country quiet, 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 present. 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 by Lord Ellenborough. It is providen tial that the Gwalior affair was settled as speedily as it was : all the disposable cavalry almost were at Gwa lior; and, as it has been 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 be 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 Jumboo ; 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, which he could hardly do 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.thans have not taken advantage of some mutinies among the Sikh troops at Peshawar, to attack that district, which Heera Singh could hardly defend. I conclude, therefore, that the assembl a ge of men for the winter was impossible. Akbar Khan had, however, arrived at Jellalabad, and was supposed. to be endeavouring to get up a crusade against the infidels.

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 muzzle of well-served cannon, loaded with grape, canister, rouid, 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 in the first and last deadly volley within 50 paces of the muzzles of the guns, and the headlong charge afterwards, 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 perhaps 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 than 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. A bronze star, made from the cannon taken, is to be presented to every man, officer, and soldier, who fought in those bloody engagements, and an ho nourable mark it will be of duty done, and of fearless bravery. 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 enemy's 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 ell 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 some 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 ing Mahratta battalions, instead of being severely handled almost as spectators of an action, which fell upon the infantry alone. 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, maneeuvre to outflank Maharajpoor, and in the interim advance his artillery, or do as he did—carry the batteries at once. lie preferred the latter ; indeed, there seems to have been no two thoughts upon the subject. Ge neral Littler's column promptly attacked Maharajpoor 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 Maharajpoor was silenced. To have retired or halted would have checked the ardour of the men, aed 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 extensive 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 advanced, 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, and 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 manceuvres 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 ? At may 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 thole 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 not a couple of light brigades have been thrown forward as soon as possible after Col. Gordon had been fired upon, to occupy the villages in front of Chounda ? The Mahrattas would not have attempted to manoeuvre their artillery in the field, or if they could hare 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 useless 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 Mah 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 of his old Peninsular experience, which may have been blunted in China. Sixty guns 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 circumstance of being told to hold their own, and of not knowing exactly what to do or where to go. The right brigade moved round the flank of Alaharaj 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-Generals 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-comers 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 splicing the 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 interests in 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 Ellenborough 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 sponsible 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 possesses 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 Agra, 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 given u p. The Gwalior vakeels waited on the Governor- 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. While all this was going on, the desire of war at Gwalior became decided; preparations were made ; messengers were sent into the independent States of Pluttea, Shunsee, &c. • a correspondence was maintained w ith L a h ore , and ileera Singh moved troops down the Sutlej to take advantage of any mis hap to us ; the Pindharees 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 actively 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 troops 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. ALL SOPP 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, notwithstaeding which Messrs. Bass have pertinaciously refused to withdraw the same, thus rendering it in. cumbent upon Messrs. Allsopp to lay before the pnblic the blowing detailed account of the actual transactions in Pale Ale shipped by themselves and Messrs. Bass respeelvelv. In order to avoid the pos. sibility of mistake, the most 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 su perior estimation in which their Ale is held throughout the three Presidencies. CALCUTTA. The overland " Bengal Hurkaru" (Nov. 17) says 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 Allsopp 68 to 70 rps. per hhd. Bass.... 65 to 67 rps. per hhd. On the 14th of Dec. the same price current quotes sales of 400 blade. of Allsopp's Ale, at 72 to 1 75 rupees, and Bass's ditto at '7O. The " Bengal Hurkaru " (Dec. 19) quotes the following sales : taxis. rps. ans. hhds. rps. ans. rps -72 8 Bass . .....•-100 6S 0 Ditto Messrs. Gladstone's reports of the market for Ale (N0v.13) were : Allem) 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 85 rupees (50 hhds). On the 14th of December, Messrs. .yall, Matheson ' and Co., say, " No sales of Bass's Ale have been made for some time past ; 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 hbd. ; and on the .17th of January they even quote actual sales at h 0 rupees. Messrs. Allsopp have taken some pains to ascertain the truth r f 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 en board the vessel, w ere charged to the owners at 90 rupees per hhd. as by accoutat sale; renderede 17th January, 144, the remaining two be ng landed at Calcutta and sold, one by private sale, at 81 rupees per 1.1,d., and the other (ullaged) at 70. *1 he actual sale alluded to by Messrs. Bass and Co. on the 2:d December,• at 80 rupees , turns out to be the identical parcel quoted above, and Messrs. Mackay H..lt, and Co., by request of Messrs. 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 sees corresponding therewith." MADILAS. 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. Havicide and Co., was for ale of the present season to arrive; while, at the same period, Messrs. Hall and Co., of Madras, kad refused that price for 400 hhds. of All'opp's. The attention of the public is requested to the ingenuity of Messrs. Baal ana Co.'s regese:itation in this insiance. BOMBAY. The sales of Ale at this place, as per Price Current (Nov. 1), were— Allsopp 200 hhds. at 65 rups. I Bass CO nips. to 61 nips The s me Price Current (Dec. 1) says We have been apprised fa see of 10 blies. of Allsopp and Co., at 65 rupees per hhd; 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 ha?e heard mention of 2f 0 hhds of Allsopp's having been sold, since the dispatch of the last mail, at 65 milers rer hhd., which cleared the market for the time. A further supply of 300 hhds. has since come in, of which acme had been previously sold at the above price to arrive. The de mand for this brew has been brisk throuehout 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 600 h ds. to Calcutta alone. It is true that Messrs. Allsopp'a shipments at this period were unusually small, aod that, with the exception of about 200 nhrls., their shipping season did not commence till late in November, in conse quence of very extensive alterations and enlargements in their brew ery, which increase 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 1843, lest they should not be strictly correct, but from Oc tober, 1841, to October, 1812, they were as follows, as admitted by Mesas Basil Bombay. Madras and Calcutta. Total Hhds. Allsopp Bass Messrs. Allsopp have only to remark that the shipments of the su b seq uent 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, on a private representa tion of its gross incorrectness being naade to that firm by Messrs. Allsopp, a reply was received in which the admission was made that, by a typographical error, some misstatement hod occurred. In that letter an alleged "corrected form" was inclosed, containing the same glaring inaccuracies, which Messrs. Ailsopp have been thus corn pelted to expose. Messrs. Bass and to. were the first to adopt. a system of advertising : their intent on to as-ume a position in India with regard to the consumption of their Beer, to which th y have no claim, cannot be misunderstood; ant, howevrr repugnant to their own feelings, Messrs. Allsopp consider it due to themselves and the public to expose the misreprissentations which have been so industriously circulated, and defend the pre-eminent position which Ale of their manufacture has invariably held both in the Indian and the home mar kets. Button-upon-Trent, March at, Ir4l. a It will be otserved, as a curious fact, that these quotations of sales are represented by two casks landed in Calcutta, one by private sale at 80 rupees, and the other (ullagcd) at 70 rupees; whilst on the same day (17th Januar3), Messrs. Gladstone and Co. notice a whole tale sale of 50 hhds. of Allsopp's at • 5 rupees.

THE THAMES EMBANKMENT. On Wednesday evening was held a meeting of the Metropolitan Improven..ent 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 barges of wharfingers, who would have the same facility 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 Blackfriars-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 both at Blackfriars-bridge and Whitehall-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 Darrow and crowded thoroughfare of Ludgate-hill, as it might have been if carried along the shore, at least as far as South wark-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 gained 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 th e 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. Variou s i mprovemen t s might afterwards be introduced in the internal line of the embankment. Before the meeting broke up it was resolved that a deputation from the Society should unite with a deputation from the Master Car penters' Society to wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer, w ith a view to such a remission of the 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. Creaswell, and James Otley, Esq. [ADVERTISEMENT.] ON THE VERGE OF THE GRAVE ; OR, A MIRACU LOUS CURE HY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. —James Langley, a ladies' shoemaker, residing in Allen-street, Goswell-street, caught a violent cold about twelve months since, which, being neglected, brought on a swelling of the legs and feet, pains in the side and shoulders, night sweats, with inability to keep food on his stomach ; indeed, he was at last reduced to such a state of mpneral weakness and debility that no one thought he could long sarvive ; but, by the use of Holloway's Pills, every dangerous system quickly disappeared, and he is now as hale and as hearty as ever lie was in his life.—Sold at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand (where advice may be had gratis) ; and by almost all respectable vendors of medicine throughout the civilised world. A couple, who had been travelling the country with a monster, partly in human shape, a short time since took, a house in Knott's-lane, in this city (Canterbury), and left after a brief residence, having secured the being (if we may so call it) in a closet. The neighbours, alarmed by incessant scratching and hideous screeching, entered the house, and on opening the closet the thing darted out with all the wildness of an infuriated being, increased by hunger, and flew at the persons present. It. was afterwards secured and conveyed to the workhouse; and subsequently for warded to Chatham, a person of this city, named Sayer, hav ing the charge of it. Looking round on one occasion, he was so much alarmed at its hideous grimaces, as to be thrown into a fit of illness, under which he livened till last week, when he expired.—Keniish Observer The answer to inquiries in Port m an -siquare on Th urs - clay was, that Mr. Hall had passed a better night, and 1 the symptoms were more faTourable.
