CAUTION.—Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS
find it necessary to caution the Public, and especially Shippers
of their Ales to the Colonies, against frauds committed b parties in
selling spurious Ales for those of Messrs. Allsopp and Sons.y
Messrs. ALLSOPP and S)NS have felt compelled by the extent
to which this disgraceful practice has been carried, to proceed in
scyeral cases by obtaining injunctions from the Court of Chancery,
and have ultimately been driven to prosecute criminally for the com-
mission of this offence. They beg to call attention to the Case of
the QuEEs v. GRAY and Gosmis, in which Lord Campbell sentenced
tlbeparties charged to " Twelve Months' Imprisonment, with Hard
Labour."—Vide "Times" and "Morning Advertiser," of the 18th
May.

Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS will thank all persons having rea-
son to doubt the genuineness of any article sold under their name,
to send them the earliest information, in order that immediate steps
may be taken for prosecuting the parties.
Meiisrs. ALL-;OPP and SONS will be happy to furnish the names
of respectable houses, where a supply of their Ales may be depended
on as genuine from the Brewery.

THE COURT-MARTIAL AT WINDSOR.—The Court-
Martial on Lieutenant Perry, 46th Regiment, re-assem-
bled yesterday morning. The president made some
angry remarks about the publication of the proceedings
in the daily papers. The Judge Advocate also added
some unintelligible threats, and talked wildly about pro-
ceedings under the Mutiny Acts and Articles of War.
After which Lieutenant Perry read his defence, which
was listened to in profound silence, and appeared to
make a great impression on the auditory. It set forth
that being personally unwilling as he was pecuniarily
unable to indulge in excesses, he had always been what
is called " a quiet man "—a course which had subjected
him to unexampled persecution at the hands of many in
the regiment, to whom he was an object of laughter and
reproach. After entering largely into this matter, and
mentioning his vain appeals for redress to his superior
officers, he detailed minutely the outrageous conduct of
Lieutenant Greer on the night of the assault—conduct
which had provoked him to so great an extent that on
the impulse of the moment, and also in defence, he had
acted as he had done, and as, he contended, under the
circumstances, was morally, legally, and honourably
justifiable. After remaining a long time in deliberation,
the c )urt broke up. The verdict will not be pro-
mulgated until it has been approved by the highest
authority.

QUEENSTOWN HARBOUR.—In consequence of the
mooring chains attached to the anchors to which her
Majesty's vessels of war were usually moored, having by
some accident sunk in the channel at Queenstown, an
experienced diver in the employment of the naval au-
thorities arrived from England, and succeeded in raising
the chains with little difficulty. The admiral of the port,
Sir W. F. Carroll, kindly made an offer of this man's
services to the Messrs. Scott, who have recently pur-
chased the wrecked vessel lying on the Spit Bank. The
offer was accepted, and the diver is now at work staunch-
ing her, and when completed the water will be pumped
out, and the hulk towed off. The party who originally
purchased this wreck expended nearly as much as he
had paid for her in trying to effect her removal, but un-
successfully.—oO2k Constitution.

ded by the commissioners was 501. ; this the Treasury
