ALLSOPP'S PALE ALES, in Imperial Quarts
and Pints —Baron LIEBIG says:—•' The specimens of your
Pale A'e sent to me afforded me another opportunity of confirming
its valuable qua'ities. lam myself an admirer of th's beverage, and
my own experience enables me to recommend it, in accordance w th
the opinion of the most eminent English physicians, as a very ag:ee-
able and efficient tonic, and as a general beverage, both for the inva-
lid and the robust.—Giessen, May 6." Influenced by so eminent an
authority, I have resolved to sell Allsopp's Ales exclusively, at 5%,
Pall-Mall. I guarantee it, first, genuine, as from Isu ton-on-Trent ;
secondly, in the finest condition; and thirdly, to be bott'ed in quarts
and oints of IMPERIAL MEASURE ONLY.

connected with them. These are all the particulars
which.have as yet transpired.
" Though the rebels have been hitherto so successful,
the Imperialists do not seem to despair, for they are
purchasing a number of foreign vessels, several of which
had been sent up the river before the Bombay left.
Among those said to have been already bought are the
Sir Herbert Compton, Antelope, Dewan, Agnes, and
Clown.

" The rumour current about Europeans having been
massacred, supposed to be the crew of the Science, must
have been, as usual, the fabrication of some mischief-
loving Chinese, who seems to take a delight in coining
such stories, and retailing them to the gossips of Can-
ton, by whose exertions they are first industriously cir-
culated there, and ultimately find their way to Hong-
kong with some appearance of being founded on fact.
Endeavours should be made to trace out the persons
who thus lend themselves to the propagation of mis-
chievous ieports."
We subjoin an extract from the North China
Jerald of the 7th of May
"The Hermes returned to this port on the afternoon
of the sth instant, with his Excellency Sir George Bon-
ham on board. She had made an eventful trip up the
Yangtze, during which she lay five days at Nankin, and
brings back intelligence of a deeply interesting and even
astounding character respectirg the insurgents, giving
us much cause to thank her Majesty's Plenipotentiary
for the steps taken to obtain some positive information
regarding them. _ The following particulars we give on
good authority, and hopeto furnish from the same source
more details in a future issue :

" The insurgents are Chrisiians of the Protestant form
of worship, and anti-idolaters of the strictest order.
They acknowledge but One God, the Heavenly Father,
the Allwise, Allpowerful, and Omnipresent Creator of
the world ; with Him, Jesus Christ, as the Saviour of
mankind ; and also the Holy gpirp, as the last of the
Three Persons of the Trinity. Their chief on earth is a
person known as 'Tae-ping-wang, the Prince of Peace,'
to whom a kind of divine origin yd mission is ascribed.
Far, however, from claiming adoration, he forbids in an
edict the application to himself of/the terms Supreme,'
' Holy,' and others, hitherto constantly assumed by the
Emperors of China, but which he declines receiving on
the ground that they are due to God alone. Their moral
code the insurgents call the Heavenly Rules,' which
on examination proved to be the Ten Commandments.
The observance of these is strictly enforced by the leaders
of the movement, chiefly Kwang-tung and Kwang-se
men, who are not merely formal professors of a religious
system, but practical and spiritual Christians, deeply in-
fluenced by the belief that Goal is always with them.
the hardships they have suffered, and the dangers they
have incurred, are punishments and trials of their
Heavenly Father ; the successes they have achieved
are instances of His grace. In conversation they
bore' the more worldly-minded by constant recurrence
to that special attention of the Almighty of which they
believe themselves to be the objects. With proud
humility, and with the glistening eyes of gratitude, they
point back to the fact, that at the beginning of their en-
terprise, some four years ago, they numbered but 100
or 200, and that, except for the direct help of their
Heavehly Father, they never could have done what they
have done.

" They,' said one, speaking of the Imperialists,
spread all kind of lies about US. They say we employ
magical arts. The only kind of magic we have used is
prayer to God. In Kwang-se, when we occupied Yung
Gnan, we were sorely pressed ; there were then only
some 2,000 or 3,000 of us. We were beset on all sides
by much greater numbers ; we had no powder left, and
our provisions were all gone • but our Heavenly Father
came down and showed us the way to break out. So we
put our wives and children in the middle, and not only
forced a passage, but completely beat our enemies.'
"After a short pause he added—
" If it be the will of God that our Prince of Peace
shall be the Sovereign of China, he will he the Sovereign
of China ; if not, then we will die here.'
"The man who used this language of courageous
fidelity to the cause in every extreme, and of confidence
in God, was a shrivelled up, elderly, little person, who
made an odd figure in his yellow and red hood ; but he
could think the thoughts and speak the speech of a hero.
He, and others like him, have succeeded in infusing their
own sentiments of courage and morality to no slight
extent, considering the materials operated upon, into
the minds of their adherents. One instance, was a
youth of 19, who acted as one of the guides to a party
that rode into Nankin, and who again and again, as he
ran along on foot, ibegged and besought Mr. Interpreter
Meadows, if he came back from Shanghae, to bring him a
double sword; but also exhorted that gentleman to refrain
from smoking, from drunkenness, and other vices with
a simple earnestness at once amusing and admirable.
This lad, the son of a literary graduate in Hoonan
of the second degree, and himself no bad scholar, had
left his father's house at the age of 17, and travelled some
days to join the insurgent camp
_Wore Kwei-lin,
prompted by an adventurous spirit to shdre in conquer-
ing the rivers and mountains'—the expression by which
the holy warriors' of Tae-ping designate their enter-
prise.
"That there are ambitious self-deceivers, shrewd
im-
postors, and calculating hypocrites among them in
plenty we doubt not ; we also doubt not that numbers
Iljoin, and will continue in their ranks, influenced exclu-
sively by motives as worldly and ignoble as those which
guide the conduct of so many professing Christians of
the West. But among the leaders; and originators of
the movement there are unmistakeable signs of a good
leaven, which, we trust and earnestly wish, may
ulti-
mately spread throughout the whole mass. One convin-
cing proof of the sincerity of the ruling minds is, that
while fighting to free their country from a foreign yoke,
and anxious to obtain adherents, they, nevertheless,
throw great difficulties in the way of a rapid increase of
numbers, by insistington the general adoption of a new
and revealed religion learned from barbarians.'

" While they have manifestly derived-Their religious
beliefs from the writings, if not in some cases the direct
teachings, of foreign Protestant missionaries, they ap-
peared to be extremely ignorant of foreign nations.
Canton was known to them as the seat of a great foreign
commerce; but Shanghae (which has indeed sprung into
importance during the few years they have been fighting
in the west) was found to be quite unknown to many of
their leading men. It is gratifying to learn that under
these circumstances the existence of a common religious
belief disposes them to regard their ' foreign brethren'
with a frank friendliness which past experience renders
it difficult to comprehend in a Chinese, but which we
earnestly trust every effort will be made to cultivate and
establish in their minds. It would, to speak of nothing
else, do more for our commercial interests, should the
insurgents succeed, than hundreds of ships and regi-
ments. We understand that during a long ride of ten or
twelve miles into the city of Nankin and back, along
what may at present be called one of the streets of
a large camp, Mr. Meadows did nor hear one of
those abusive and derogatory epithets applied to him-
self or companions which have always been so liberally
bestowed on passing foreigners by the heathen Chinese.
There was also the fullest evidence that the obscene
expressions with which the latter garnish all their con-
versations are prohibited and almost banished from the
language of the Christians.

‘7. We have not time or space to say more at present.
We have thought it advisable to dwell, in the first in-
stance, mainly on the most striking and momentous fea-
ture of this movement, its religious and puritanical ele-
ment—a feature now placed beyond all doubt, but
which the previous conceptions of many foreigners will
cause them to regard with the greatest astonishment, if
not incredulity, in any body of Chinese. We hope
hereafter to be enabled to give some account of the
origin, military organisation, actual position, and pre-
bable future movements of the insurgents. They now
hold Nankin, termed by them Teenking—Heavenly
Capital,' Chin-kiang, and Yangthow, and are for the
present bpily engaged in strengthening and increasing
the fortifications of these cities."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
BOMBAY MARKET.
(From the 22d to the 29th of May, 1853.)
Bombay times-office, May 30.
Since the departure of the last mail the market has
been as dull as it usually is just before the monsoon.
Nothing worthy of note has been done, and such sales
as have been effected have been forced on purchasers at
reduced prices. The only large sale which has been
effected is one of twist. _

In consequence of the small quantity of cotton which
has been despatched to China and the larger than usual
quantity which has come in from the districts, the stock
now in Bombay is nearly one-half greater than has ever
been known before at the same season of the year. It
is calculated that we have not less than 150,000 bales
in stock. The price has in consequence slightly fallen,
but is still much too high to induce European houses to
ship in any quantity. The natives, however, are ship-
ping to a considerable extent, as they generally do at
this season of the year, in preference to housing it for
the rains.

The commercial news from China is very bad, every
description of business almost entirely put a stop to.
At Shanghai, particular, matters arc anything but in a
prosperous state. In the opium market here, however,
there is still some business doing, but chiefly in the ful-
filment of engagements entered into some time ago.
The price of Malwa may be quoted at 950 r. to 975 r.
per chest.
Freights, in consequence of the recent numerous ar-
rivals, have gone down further, and, although we do not
know that any ships have been let at the figure we
quote, we should not consider tonnage to Liverpool
worth more than 2/. 10s., and to London 2/. 15s. per
ton. To China, 12r. per candy ; nothing doing.
Exchange may be quoted at 2s. lid., at 2s. 1 3-16 d.
on England ; on Calcutta, 99r. ; on China, 226 r. at
227 per dollars at 60 days' sight.

owing to the Mahmoodeyeh Canal being quiet dry
in some places ; but since then water has been let
in by a subsidiary canal connected with the river,
so that the passengers from India were enabled to
come Sown in the usual way, though not without
much difficulty and delay. The Nile has begun to
rise again, and, as the railway between Alexandria
and the river will be open in a few months, the
Overland passengers will not in future be subject
to any of the annoyances and delays so often caused
by the canal.

- The Viceroy might have availed himself of the
extreme lowness of the canal to clear it out and
deepen its bed, as was done in 1845 by Mehemet
Ali ; but his Highness thinks of his own immediate
interest to the exclusion of all others; and his idea
seems to be that, when the railway is completed,
he will send his produce to Alexandria by that
means, and leave others to send their produce as
well as they best can.
Preparations are still going on for the departure
of the Egyptian fleet and 15,000 troops for Con-
stantinople, to assist the Sultan in case of need ;
but when it will take place it is impossible to tell,
as they are progressing very slowly, and Edhein
Pasha, the Viceroy's agent at Constantinople, has
sent word that it is a disgrace to Egypt that she
does not evince more zeal and alacrity in sending
her contingent to the Porte.
Abbas Pasha is spending his time at Benha, a
small town on the Damietta branch of the Nile,
caring little about passing events ; and the Euro-
pean Consuls-General, who under ordinary circum-
cumstances keep near the Viceroy, have all left
him and come down to Alexandria, finding, from
experience, that his Highness pays them but little
regard, and does not care to see them. Abbas
Pasha's grandfather, Mehemet Ali, would have
acted very differently in the present state of affairs,
and would have been at Alexandria himself to
hasten the departure of the fleet. The transit
through Egypt, which is of so much importance to
the country, and yields a very large revenue to
Abbas Pasha, occupies very little attention on the
part of his Highness ; and it was only at the very
last moment that measures were taken for the con-
veyance of the passengers round by the sea to the
Nile, while otherwise they would have been ex-
posed to a twelve hours' ride on donkeys in this
the hottest season of the year.
The fleet that is to go to Constantinople will con-
sist of three line-of-battle ships, four frigates, three
corvettes, and one brig, but, as the arsenal has been
totally neglected since the death of Mehemet Ali,
the greater part of the sails have been distributed
over the country to be used as awnings and tents,
and it is with difficulty that the necessary articles
are found. It is much doubted whether the three
line-of-battle ships will be able to keep the sea for
any length of time, as they are in very poor condi-
tion, and the four frigates are about the best of the
whole lot.

These ships will be very inefficiently manned,
the crews being far from complete, and the num-
bers being made up by young conscripts recently
taken for the army.
In consequence of the demand for men for the
army and the fleet, Abbas Pasha has interdicted
the departure pf,Egyptian pilgrims for Mecca this
year.

- The river steamer Faid Rabbani, built for Abbas
Pasha in Glasgow, arrived here last week. This
gorgeous toy cost Abbas Pasha 50,0001., the hull
and machinery being about 11,0001., while the rest
has been expended on the ornamental parts, the
real value of which will not be at all appreciated.
The large steamer Faid Gehaad, which cost up-
wards of 90,0001., has not yet been seen by Abbas
Pasha, though she arrived here in January last,
nor has she once been moved from her moorings
since her arrival.

The month of Ramadan is just over, and the
natives are enjoying their holydays after their long
fast. This year the sufferings of the Mahomedans
have been greater than usual in consequence of the
time having fallen in the very hottest season of the
year. During the last 30 days all Mahomedans
were prohibited from eating, drinking, smelling,
smoking, and even intentionally swallowing their
saliva, and this lasted daily from two hours before
sunrise until sunset—that is 16 hours.

Prices of grain have risen very much here in con-
sequence of the unsettled state of affairs in Turkey,
and wheat and beans are from 6s. to 6s. per quarter
dearer tore- than they are in England. Shipping
very scarce. Exchange on London, 100 piastres

•
had been Governor. It was said Government had
sufficient proof against him, but it is not stated of
I 4.` what he was accused. In the city of Guerrera the
k •\. „ death of Senor Alaman was celebrated with public
, rejoicings by some democratic clubs. The comple-
tion of the line of telegraph to Jalapa is announced,
and .despatches were received over it at Mexico.
Don Frederick Fulquez had been appointed Minis-
ter to New Granada, and it was said he would visit
Venezuela and Ecuador in an official character.
The Orden proposes that he be authorised to invite
these and all other Hispano-American States to a
general congress, like that which Bolivar called
together at Panama in 1826. The Orden thinks
this necessary, because an enemy a thousand times
more terrible for its perfidious and ruinous policy,
and for its usurping and avaricious views, than
were the European combinations of 1823 to sustain
the rights of Spain in Mexico, now threatens to
absorb the sovereignty of the continent, and destroy
the Hispano-American race. It says, against such
an alliance the old mother country would unite.
Troops have been sent from Guanajuato to Chihua-
hua, Aguas Calientes, and Guadalajara. Official
advices had been received from the Governors o
Sinaloa and Guadalajara, stating that the Boulbon
expedition against Sonora had been dissolved in
California. Indians were committing great ravages
in Coahuila. Three bands of these marauders
were traversing the State in all directions without
opposition. Drawings for the regular army were
to take place on the 15th of July and for the militia
on the 15th of August. Measures were being
taken to stvengthen the Government of Yucatan
against the Indians, and artillery had been ordered
up from Tobasco.
From Havannah we have advices to the 29th
ult. The Gaceta of the 28th contains an article in
reply to the recent debate in the British House of
Lords, in which the Earl of Carlisle, Lord Claren-
don, and the Bishop of Oxford took prominent
parts, with respect to the violation by Spain of the
slave treaties. The Gaceta manifests a deal of in-
dignation at the calumnies to which the Spanish
Government was subjected on that occasion, and it
elevates the character of Captain-General Canedo
even above that of his noble British aspersers :
"Noble by birth," says the Gaceta, talking of Canedo,
"as the English Lord Premier, educated in severe prin-
ciples of honour, occupying an elevated post in the
Spanish army, mad elevated to the dignity of senator of
the kingdom, he was not and could not be corrupted by
the bribe of the island of Cuba to commit an ungraceful
action, which would suddenly defile so many titles of
individual pride. The Captain-General, Don Valenta
Canedo, has vigorously prosecuted,• since the day of his
taking command of the island, the cursed slave traffic.
He has done more—he has employed Governmental
measures, which reveal not only loyalty and purity, but
self-denial and an elevated spirit, even to a point which
should have counselled Lord Carlisle to more circum-
spection and less frivolity."
Julian Zulueta, the slave-dealer, was still in
prison in Fort Cabano. Orders had been given to
arrest Pedro Forcade,—next to Zulueta the largest
slave dealer in the island. Another cargo, consist-
ing of 207 slaves, had been landed on the south side
of the island. The exact number of slaves landed
from the Lady Suffolk was 1,287 ; upwards of 300
died on the passage, and so many had died on
Zulueta's estate, the place where they were con-
veyed, that it was almost impossible to approach
the estate from the pestiferous state of the atmos-
phere, caused by the effluvia arising from the dead
bodies of the only half-buried negroes ; and, what
is worse, the disease—a kind of cholera, generated
on board ship from the crowded state of the hold—
was carrying off multitudes of the wretched victims
belonging to the neighbouring estates.
Business in sugars at Havannah was extremely
limited, caused by heavy rains, a scarcity of vessels,
and firmness of holders. Whites were selling at 71.
to 9i reals ; florete yellows, 61 to 72 ; good to
primp, 6 to 6/ ; browns, 51 to 6 ; curcuruchos, 5 to
j and muscovadoes 4/ to 54. The stock on hand
was about 230,000 boxes. Molasses in moderate
demand, at 2i to 21 reals in the harbour, and 2i
reals at the outports. Coffee, honey, and wax dull.
Cigars of all descriptions in good request. Exchange

and a market, 3/. ss. to 3/. 10s. per ton.
Late advices from Aux Cayes state that the yel-
low fever was raging there. Captain Starrat,
master of the British schooner Creole, had died of
that disease. Little or no coffee could be had at
Aux Cayes, and the crop was nearly exhausted.
Logwood had advanced 50 per cent., and was worth
about $lO per ton Spanish on board.
The construction of the projected railroad be-
tween Trinidad and Sancti Spiritus, in the island
of Cuba, was about to be commenced. In the former
city shares in the enterprise to the amount of
$280,000 were sold in the course of eight days.
From Guatemala we have accounts to the lst of
May. General Carrera had issued a proclamation
.containing the,settlemeut, adjusted between the
-GOvernments of Guatemala and Honduras. The
following are the terms of the convention :
"The undersigned, Don Juan Linde, General Don
Jose Antonio Milla, and Don Justo J. Rodras, commis-
sioned by the Supreme Government of Honduras, and
the clergyman Don Jesus Maria Gutierrez, by that of
Guatemala, being named to regulate the difficulties which
have sprung up on both sides, being competently autho-
rised according to the powers which they have mutually
prerented, have agreed to the following articles :
" Art. 1. The Government of Guatemala, not having
intended to offend Honduras in any respect, undertakes
to indemnify the losses caused to the peaceable and in-
nocent neighbours of Gopan snd Cozapa.
" Art. 2. The Government ofl Guatemala also under-
takes immediately to place at liberty the subjects of Hon-
duras who have been taken from their territory, except.
ing such as have committed common crimes in Guate-
mala.
" Art 3. Each of the contracting parties will hence-
forth respect the territory of the other, and if any diffi-
culty shall occur, it will be arranged in a friendly man-
ner, and in conformity with international law.
" Art. 4. Both Governments being desirous of giving
mutual testimony of their wish to preserve peace, and to
cultivate the most frank and fraternal relations, lay aside
any other claims whatever which might have arisen from
the present difficult:es, and oblige themselve to conclude
hereafter a treaty of friendship and commerce, which will
also regulate the respective limits of their territories.
"Art. 5. The Government of Honduras will take care
of the emigrants who have had influence in the disturb-
ances of Guatelarna pending the regalation of the treaty
of friendship, of their return to their homes, or pending
whatsoever both Governments may resolve on.
Art. 6. The present convention will be ratified within
six days, and exchanged within the following six, reck-
oning from to-day.
"In testimony whereof we, the respective Commis-
sioners, sign this in the city of Esquilmlas, the 19th of
April, 1853, 32d year of the indepehdence of Central
America. " J. LINDO.

THE CAMP AT C.HOBHAM COMMON.

It was expected that on Saturday a review of the
new division would have taken place, and Lord Seaton
and Lord Hardinge went down to the camp at an early
hour for the purpose ; \but as the hour for turning out
the troops arrived the heavy rains which had fallen
almost continuously during the week, and had been sus-
pended only for a few hours, set in again with redoubled.
violence. This, of course, upset all the previous arrange-
ments, and the visitors who came down to the common
in carri ages, fully expected to witness a field-day, had to
return home again disappointed. It was not till Saturday
afternoon that the 35th arrived on the ground, so that
had the division been called out in the morning it would
not have mustered in full strength. In the present

victory, and proved many times superior to the force of

of their native courage ; and, when this Surrey cam-

in it a medal with a vanquished Aquarius upon one
side, and the name of the common upon the other. The
same name may also fairly be inscribed on the regi-
