ALLSOPP'S PALE ALE, IN BOTTLE.
CAUTION.
Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS find it necessary to caution the
Public, and espcaia ly &tippers of their Ales to the Cblo ;ies, aga nst
!Feuds committed by parties in soiling spurloui Ales for those of
Messrs. Allsopp and Sons.
Me•isrs. ALLSOPP and SANS have felt compelled by the extent
to which this disgraceful practice has teen carried, to proceed in
several cases by ortaining irjunctions from the Court of Chancery,
ant have ultimately been driven to prosecute criminally for the com-
mission of this offence. They beg to call attention to the Case of
the QUEEN ♦. GRAY and GOSLIN, in which Lord Campbell sentenced
the parties charged to " Twelve Months' Imprisonment, with Bard
Labour."—Vlda "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.
Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS will be happy to furnish the names
o f respectable houses, where a supply of their Ales may be depended

" encumbering him with help !" A little earlier,
the Austrian troops might have done good ser-
vice by pouring across the frontiers into Muldo-
Wallachia. Now, they can only be in the way.
Under present circumstances, they can only im-
pede the triumphant progress made during the
past months of the campaign by the soldiers
of the SULTAN. This movement, consequently,
into the provinces evacuated by the discomfited
Russians must be viewed, to say the least of it,
as at any rate most suspicious.
Hitherto the results of the campaign of 1854
have been altogether and wonderfully in favour of
the Turks, and at the same time of course disas-
trous, very terribly disastrous, to the army of the
Northern AUTOCRAT. It is calculated that the
Russian forces since the commencement of the war
have lost in round numbers no less than 50,000
men altogether ! General SCIIILDERS has been
placed hors de combat. General LUDERS has been
killed by a desperate gun-shot. Prince PASKIE-
WITCH has been so severely wounded that he can
by no possibility retain his position as Com-
mander-in-Chief. The Russians were driven
back from before Kalafat—they were beaten at
Citate—they were compelled at last to retreat
from Lesser Wallachia, in the direction of the
Dobrudscha. At the outset, they had already
been signally defeated at Oltenitza. Very re-
cently, they have been yet more signally defeated
under the walls of Silistria. Insomuch have the
Turks proved their superiors, even when aided by
none but the Egyptians, that the siege of Silistria
is reluctantly raised by the Muscovites, and a re-
trograde movement on their S part carries them
back precipitately to the violated boundary of their
own province of Bessarabia. At this moment—the
Austrian troops undertake to occupy the Princi-
palities ! At this moment—when the armies of
France and England are at length in full
march towards the Turkish head-quarters to join
the victorious troops of OMER PACHA, and decide
the struggle with the discomfited forces of the
CZAR—the Imperial Council of Vienna undertake
to interpose, with the Austrian armament, between
defeated Russians and their triumphant and
materially strengthened antagonists ! Every-
thing tends to convince our judgment that we
are right in designating this curiously inop-
portune movement on the part of Austria—omi-
nous, and sinister, and suspicious. So ominous,
so sinister, and so suspicious, do we conceive it
to be, that we are satisfied it behoves the people
of England to be at this particular moment more
than ever watchful in regard to the foreign
policy of the Government.

A Bottle of Smoke—is about the best phrase
by which to describe Mr. LAYARD'S pompously
announced and timidly withdrawn motion for to-
morrow evening in reference to Lord ABERDEEN
and the foreign policy of her MAJESTY'S Govern-
ment. For in it that redoubtable motion has ter-
minated. By his new concession to the Cabinet
the Hon. Member for Aylesbury has dissipated,
at any rate for the time being, whatever hopes
might have been formed in his regard as to the
rise and rapid development of his political repu-
tation. It is a mistake, into which he has more
than once fallen already. It evinces, we cannot
but think, very little judgment, to say the least of
it. Nothing, in effect, could well be mere ludicrous
on the part of an independent Member like the Re-
presentative ofthe Aylesbury constituency than these
precipitate motions, threatened in a manner the
most portentous, and hastily withdrawn just upon
the eve of their promised introduction. Mr.
LAYARD has called " Wolf" so often, that nobody
will believe him in earnest when he raises the cry
again, and formally undertakes to drag before the
notice of Parliament the shortcomings of the
Administration. "Mr. MANTALINI poisons him-
self for the seventh time," is not one jot more
ridiculous than the notification will ultimately be-
come that " Mr. LAYARD threatens another hostile
motion upon the foreign policy of her MAJESTY'S
Government." It matters nothing that the Earl
of ABERDEEN, on Monday, favoured the
House of Peers with what the Noble Premier
was pleased to term his "explanation," but
what the Marquis of CLANRICARDE some-
what more aptly and more correctly termed his
"retractation." The speech delivered by the
Prime Minister on Monday, the 26th of June,
1854, was to all intents and purposes pretty much
the same as that delivered by him on that day
se'nnight—namely, on Monday, the 19th of June,
1854. And, as Lord CLANRICARDE happily re-
marked in the House of Peers the night before
last, a telegraphic despatch in a Continental
journal entitled L'lndependence Beige sententiously
and most happily epitomised the English Pre-
mier's oration of the 19th instant thus—" Lord
ABERDEEN a essaye de justifier la conduite de la
Russie et plaide la cause de la paix." It was
precisely thus in regard to the second speech re-
cently delivered by the Prime Minister, the speech
of the 26th instant, called for the nonce the speech
of Explanation. Like its predecessor, that remark-
able oration "roared like any sucking dove." It
was the realisation at last of that expression
which we might least have expected ever to see
realised, the expression in Festus about " buttered
thunder." Lord ABERDEEN undertook, on Mon-
day evening, to thunder against his "forty years'
friend" the CZAR—but when the thunder came it
was, after all, " buttered thunder." And for
this—Mr. LAYARD has withdrawn his motion,
promised for Thursday. Because my Lord
ABERDEEN quibbled, and explained away, and eat
his words, and chewed the leek, and in the midst
of all this, talked as a Prime Minister of England
never should have talked about the conditions of
peace being dependent upon the event of war
" according as we found _Russia at Constanti •
.nople or ourselves at St. Petersburg"—as if
England alone, much more England, and France,
and Turkey all united could consent to a peace
arranged with Byzantium in the hands of the
Muscovites !--because, forsooth, 'rny Lord ABER-
DEEN, in explanation of his remarks on Monday,
the 19th of June, could speak on Monday, the
26th of June, after this deplorable fashion—Mr.
LAYARD has deemed it advisable to withdraw his
motion announced for to-morrow evening, the
motion to which precedence was at once cour-
teously promised by the Noble Lord the Leader
of the House of Commons ! It is deeply to be
regretted, for the satisfaction of the public mind,
for the dignity of the Crown, for the credit
of the Cabinet, and for the Hon. Gentleman's own
reputation. Again, the mountain has groaned, and
according to the usual anti-climax brought forth the
ridicules Inns! Again has the threatened on-
slaught upon the Ministry by the Member for
Aylesbury proved betimes to be only mere "sound
and fury, signifying nothing." • The country will
not, we rest assured, be any the less disposed to
reprehend : the ill-considered precipitation with
Which Mr. LAYARD has, once more, given pro-
mise of a substantial motion, only to withdraw it
immediately afterwards—the country, we say,
will not be any the less disposed to reprehend
this—to call it by no Worse epithet, at any rate—
most inconsiderate proceeding, because, in so
doing, the Representative of Aylesbury gave
the House another half assurance, last evening,
of his intention, "if nobody else will do i
SO," of bringing forward on some night or other,
before " the recess," some discussion on our fo-
reign relations : this, however (as Mr. LAYARD is

Anything more
sinister or .more ominous could
scarcely have been announced,. in regard to the
mar,. than the-fact of
-the Austrian occuation of
the Principalities. The meaning p
move-
ment is perfectly obvious. It a this 'r able nothing less lhis—that Austria' (unable, from the
delicacy of ; ' pronounce
her position, to openly in
favour of Russia and against Turkey) is determined
at least to shelter the CZAR as 1111011 as possible
from further disaster by interposing between the
victorious forces of the SULTAN and the retreatine,
and defeated army of the Muscovites. Never
was any movement on the part of a nominal ally—
a power hitherto virtually neutral, but henceforth
, secretly hostile—more irritatingly inopportune.
Precisely at the juncture when the Turks, un-
aided by any one, excepting only by the small
Egyptian contingent, have effectually worsted the
mighty legions of their antagonists—precisely at
the very crisis when the Ottoman forces under
OMEn PAcide. have, by their own valour, extri-
cated themselves from a desperate strait, and
so contested every point with the Russians, that
the latter are compelled to beat a hasty retreat
from the Danube to the Pruth—precisely at this
momentous period, tlje Cabinet of Vienna under-
takes
to aid the Sublime Porte, by causing the
Austrian troops to occupy the.reconquered Princi-
palities ! Itis exactly what Dr. JOHNS3N said to Lord
CHESTERFIELD. It is c3mplacently watching from
the bank some unfortunate adventurer while he
is within an ace of being drowned in the current,
and when at la,st he has by his own muscular
efforts and c)ol determination contrived to struggle
out of his difficulties to dry land --then

WITHDRAWAL OF MR. LA YARD'S
M07110Y.-LORD ,4.B.PROF;vN.

Mr. Layard has forrnally withdrawn his motion.
Thisxentleinan is very unfortunate in his movements.
He is acting, in a very unwarrantable manner towards
the country. He is trifling with public feeling, and
sporting with the character of the House of Commons.
He is, moreover, sacrificing as fast as he can his own re-
putation. He gives notices of important motions only
to withdraw them. ThiS is a game which he will not
be able.to play for any length of time. with impunity.
In the meantime, though .Lord Aberdeen, so far as tile
member for Aylesbury is concerned, is allowed to escape,
the noble lord will find that he has an account to settle
with the country. It is impossible he can remain in
office.—Morning Advertiser.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday

market closed firmly but tame, compared with
Friday's rates ; prices of all kinds were extreme,
more especially in 41d. to kid. American, and 34d. to

The failure of Messrs. Cole, Brothers, in the East

TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES.

The following telegraphic message from Vienna
has been received :

" HERmANNsrAnr, June 27.—General Schilder
is dead.

" The Russians are in full retreat from the
Danube to Foksehani.

" The day after to-morrow this Government will
send a Lieutenant-Colonel to the Anglo-French
camp at Varna to arrange about the occupation of
the Principalities.

" KALARASCH, June 20.—A violent storm de-
stroyed the pontoon bridge, while 590 Russian
artillerymen, with their guns and ammunition,
were on it. They were all lost.
" BUCHAREST, June 19.--.-The Russians are car-
rying off the AVallachian archives."
Another telegraphic despatch from Vie-nna, of
the 27th instant, says :
" General Budberg has declared to the Boyards
that he knows nothing about the Russians eva-
cuating Bucharest.

The subscriptions proffered for the small amount
of the Belgian loan offered to the public appear
absolutely ridiculous in proportion to the amount
to be allotted. It will be remembered that five
millions of francs are sot aside for the public, while
the letters ask an aggregate of more than 272 mil-
lion francs. The railway from Antwerp to Rotter-
• dam has been opened with great ceremony, and
will have an immediate influence in drawing closer
the relations between Holland and Belgium.
The advices by the Overland Mail are of a more
satisfactory character in many respects. From
Calcutta it is stated that plentiful rains had
fallen in the indigo districts, and that the
prospects of the crop were encouraging. Money was
exceedingly easy, and in this respect presented
, quite a contrast to the state of affairs at Bombay.
For piece goods the demand was healthy, and for
immediate wants. The rate of exchange on Lon-
don was lower, being 2s. id., and for document bills
2s. ld. at 6 months. Freights were 10s. lower.
In China trade continues very depressed, and it
is stated the Custom-house at Shanghai had been
wholly done away with ; consequently no duties
either of import or export were received. The
troubles in the tea districts continued.
There is an expectation that money will become
easier in consequence of the recent large arrivals of
specie and the altered position of the Bank of Eng-
land. According to rumour, the increase in the
amount of bullion held by that establishment will
appear by the weekly return in next Friday's
Gazette to be more than 70G,000/. •
There is a very firm market for public securities,
but the business done has not been so large. The
supply of stock is scarcely so large as it was. Consols
have been 94 to 94k, and are now 94 to 1-. There
continues to be a strong feeling against the occu-
pation of the Principalities by Austria, a measure
which is held to be framed to check the Ottoman
forces in their victorious career. The New 31: per
Cents. have been 944- to g, and the 3 per Cents.
93 to 94-. Bank Stock is at an advance to 206
and 2071. Exchequer Bills are 2s. discount, to 2s.
premium. The Bonds of 1858 aro quoted to g
premium, and those of 1859, gto premium.
Foreign Securities are still very quiet. "Peruvian
3 per Cents. have been 51 to 511, Equador 3i, and
Grenada Deferred 6g. Russian 5 per Cents. have
been 98k. All the rest are nominal.
This is making up day in the Railway Share
Market, and it would appear that the account is
Bullish. At the last settlement there was gene-
rally a backwardation, whereas now shires are
mostly "carried over" without charge, or a slight
rate of interest is given for the accommodation.
North-Westernhave been "even" to "coutango,"
Midland about " even," and York and North Mid-
land at 1 " contango" per share. If the Stock
Market should acquire strength upon the ground
of either an improved monetary or politi-
cal position, there appears to be considerable
room for an advance in railway securities. De-
cidedly, as they have advanced in many cases
within the last fortnight, they a. e still very much
under the prices at which they stand when capital
is abundant. A fall of 1 per cent, in the current
rates of discount would benefit railways now most
sensibly, because several of them pay very good
dividends. As the time is coming on when the
half-yearly meetings will be held, and an increased
interest may be expected upon the shares of several
lines, the speculators will probably be moving in an-
ticipation of any action on the part of the public. The
rise this morning in most of the lines is fairly 1 per
cent, even upon the advance which occurred
" after hours" yesterday. North-Western, Mid-

Monday's currency.
The show of foreign what was again extensive. Good
heavy qualities wore held at full prices, but most other
kinds were lower to purchase. The few floating cargoes off
the coast were offered on easier terms.

Tho inquiry for barley and malt was heavy; but we
have no change to notice in prices.
