CALCUTTA.

The overland " Bengal Hurkaru" (Nov. 17) says :
" Of Allsopp's Ale 430 hhds. have been sold et Company's rupees
67 to 'l7 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• C 8 to 70 rps. per hhd. I Bass.. 65 to 67 rps. per hhd.
On the 14th of Dec. the same price current quotes sales of 400 hints.
of Allsopp's Ale, at 72 to 7 rupees. and Bass's ditto at '7O.
The " Bengal Hurkaru " (Dec 19) quotes the fbllowing sales :

Allsopp .. 20' 72 8 Bass... ...WO 6; 0
Ditto "CO 75 0 Ditto lOO 70 0 to 72
Messrs. Gladstone's reports of the market for Ale (N0v.13) were :
Allsopp t 8 to 70 rps. f Bass 65 to 6'i rps
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. .gall, 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, sr five rupees below your own
brewing."
Under the head of Calcutta, Messrs. A Ilsopp have only to add
that Messrs. Bass and Co. have quoted sales of their own Beer at
that place at 80 rupees, and Messrs. Allsons's at 75 rupees pc:* hhd. ;
and on the 17th of January they even quote actual sales at 110
rupees. -Messrs. Allsopp have taken some pains to ascertain the
truth ef 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 vessel, sr ere charged to the
Owners at 90 rupees per hhd. as by account sale: rendered• 17th
January, 1-41, the remaining two be ng landed at Calcutta and sold,
one by private sale, at 81 rupees per 'rind , and the other (ullaged)
at '7O. Ihe actual sale alluded t o by Messrs Bass and Co. on the
22c1December,• at 90 ropers , turns out to be the identical parcel
quoted above, End Messrs. Mackay Helt, and Co , by request of
Messrs. Allaapp, ha ing ;Toned to Messrs. Bass and Co., for account
sales confirmatory of this statement, are informed by them that "there
arc no account saves corresponding therewith."

anxiously look forward to, the time when the great day of

Meanwhile we will continue doing all that we can to mark
the distinction claimed by a " Good Friday."—Standard.
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 wockhoilie'; and Subsequently fur,
warded to Chatham, a person of this city, named Sayer, hav-
ing the charge of it. Looking round on one occasion, lie was
so much alarmed at its hideous grimaces, as to be thrown
into a fit of illness, under which he lisp;wed till last we*,
when he expired.—Kentish Observer.

ALLSOPP'S PALE ALE

MESSRS. ALLSOPP 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, notwithstanding which Messrs. Bass have
pertinaciously refuse:4 to withdraw the same, thus rendering it in-
cumbent upon Messrs Allsopp to lay before the public the folowing
detailed account of the actual transactions in Pale Ale shipped by
themselves and Messrs. Bass respectively. In order to avoid the pos.
sibility of mistake, the most careful examination if Vle official re-
ports of the Indian markes, 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.

THE COAL•WHIPPERS ACT.

On the consideration of a petition from Lieutenant
Arnold, for compensation for losses sustained by the
petitioner in obtaining the recent Coal Whippers Act,
Mr. HEPPEL asked whether the expectations of the
friends of the measure were realised ?

Mr. STACY replied that he had every reason to be•
lieve that the measure would prove highly advan•
tageous. Nothing, he declared, could exceed the gra
titude of the poor men whom it was framed to serve.

UNION BALL.-(THIS DAY.)

- - - - -
The police of the L division gave information that a man
was found lying dead in a raw-pit on the premises of Mr.
Thomas Lett, the timber merchant, of the Cornwall-road,
Lambeth.
From the policeman's statement, it appeared that between
four and five o'clock that morning, according to custom, he
went into Mr, Lett's timber-yard, and on looking into a deep
saw-pit he observed a man, dressed in sailor's clothes, lying
with his head downwards, and his feet resting against the
sides of the pit. On a close inspection he (the po-
liceman) found the man was quite dead, and appeared
to have been so for some hours. It was impossible to
say how the deceased got into the yard, which is
surrounded by high palings, except on the side situated next
to the River, and there being some barges lying alongside
the wharf, it is probable the unfortunate man got from some
of them into the yard, and by accident fell headforemost into
the pit, where he was found as above described. The body
of the deceased was subsequently conveyed to the vault of
the Waterloo Church, in the Waterloo-road, where it remains
to await a Coroner's inquest.

LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1844.

THE BUDGET.

The great feature of the session came out last
night, and, what is ,creditable to the Government,
came out according to 'promise. We have known
budgets delayed for weeks after a solemn announce-
ment that they would be brought out on a specified
day. On this point, therefore, Mr. GOULBURN has
the advantage of his predecessors ; he has also the
advantage of a full treasury, thanks to the income-
tax ; and, as might have been expected, he went
through the details like a man with plenty of money
in his pocket, in a joyful mood. The total amount
of the income-tax he stated to be 5,315,000/., or about
2,000,0001. more than Sir ROBERT calculated upon
when he introduced the Bill. Here was cause
for rejoicing, but whether the unfortunate contri-
butors rejoice at the result is another qr.estion.
It is gratifying to find however that there are
causes for rejoicing. On several of the import duties
there has been a considerable increase. On sugar
there has been an increase of 200,0001., on tea
300,0001, on cotton wool 200,0001., and in va-
rious other articles imported into the country there
has been a proportionate increase. The estimate for
the Excise, he calculated at 13,000,0001., and the
actual amount has been 12,900,0001., nearly within
the mark. In the Post-office there has also been an
increase, and the return shows that it had exceeded
the calculation by 28,0001.; and, taking all items
into account, the actual return has exceeded
the calculationi by 1,988,8401., the revenue
for the year being estimated at 513,150,0001.,
while it had actually been 52,138,840/. Taking

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-

the option of selecting benefits and convertin‘pollcles so as beet to

as to afford the hill benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested ; an 4 this bonus, aceording to an equitable

The parties in these cases are colliers in the north of Eng-
land, who were committed by the magistrates for neglecting
their work. They applied for a habeas corpus, the return to
which was argued yesterday. During the course of the ar-
gument, Mr. Bodkin contended, on the part of the priso-
ners, that the conviction was bad, because it did not set forth
that the evidence had been taken in the prisoners' presence,
and the Court reserved its judgment. The judgment of the
Court was delivered this morning, which was that the con-
viction was bad on the grounds stated, and that the prisoners
must therefore be discharged.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.

MOTT V. PAIN.
Mr. Nash appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Cole conducted
the defence.

This was an action to recover 11/. ls. 10d. for rent and
necessaries, supplied under the following circumstances :
The defendant's brother, who at one time carried on a
lucrative business, became embarrassed, and sank into the
most deplorable distress, and, being in a decline, he was un-
able to support himself. Being intimate with the plaintiff, who
then kept a beer shop, he took a lodging in his house, at the
rate of ss. a week; but, having no means of subsistence, the
plaintiff supplied him and his wife with food and money for
some time, but having a family, and the brother being, of
course, a heavy burden, he applied to the defendant, who was
in an extensive way of business as salesman in Newgate market,
but now residing on his property at Reigate, to contribute
towards his brother's support. The defendant promised, on
various occasions, to call and see his brother, but having
failed to do so, he was again applied to by the plaintiff, who
stated that he should be compelled to send the invalid to the
workhouse as he could no longer aid him in his distresses.
The defendant desired that his brother might be taken proper
care of, and he would pay the expense which would be thus
incurred, at the same time handing 10s. to the person sent to him,
whom he desired to give it to the plaintiff. On the 6th of
February the defendant's brother died, and the defendant
paid the funeral expenses. It was therefore contended, on
the part of the plaintiff, who is now a clerk in the London
Gas Company, that he was entitled to a verdict.
Mr. COLE, on the part of the defendant, contended that he
was not liable under the circumstances of the case.
The UNDER-SHERIFF summed up the evidence, and the
jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 61.

he would ask; COuld be the interest of Ministers in in-
creasing the estimates beyond what the interest of the
country demanded ? Why, it would be much more
grateful to their. feelings to have a surplus revenue to
show, in consequence of a reduction, than any advantage
they could derive from the results of patronage. The
House had to consider how many regiments had
been now abroad for upwards of twenty years without
being once relieved. - What he wanted to show
.was,
that when they considered the forces which were re-
quired for service in India, Canada, and every other part
of the' world, they could not make any reduction in the
army for this year, without either endangering the.. em-
pire, or doing a gross and palpable act of injustice to the
men. With respect. to the expenses of our colOnial
possessions,: alluded to by the Honourable .Cien-
tleman opposite, he (Sir Robert Peel) • asked
the House to consider that the mother country
had entered into certain relations with those colonies

which. it would be most dangerous and unjust to disturb.
Then with respect to the navy estimates.' He agreed with
the Hon. Member for Coventry, that they were larger than
those for the years 1843-4. But he would ask any Hon.
. .

Member, was this any criterion to go by? The Hon.
Member for Montrose always went as far back as the

year 1790. But when Mr. Pitt spolie in the years 1793-4,
he said any reduction in these estimates at that timb
would have been inconsistent with the interests of the

that superior officer has not been arrested at the head
of his regiment. The Ministry proceed Kith the
utmost secresy ; they are ordered to act with the
greatest caution, in order not to irritate the army, and
not to let the Government's apprehension transpire.
They, therefore, say that the reports afloat relative to
the discontent of the army are quite unfounded ; but
their assertions inspire no confidence, when one
knows the measures they deem it necessary to re-
sort to:'

A NEW FEATURE IN THE INCOME-TAX.----When
Sir Robert Peel proposed this measure in the House
of Commons, he dwelt at some length on the strict
secresy which would be observed by all the officers
appointed to make up the returns. In fact, the
business was to be done in such a private and gen-
tlemanly way, that the left hand of Mr.
Collector would not" know what his right did. As
a proof how promises and engagements made in Par.
liament vanish into thin air, we may state, that in one
district of the borough of Southwark the tax papers
containing the amount due for the year ending March,
1844, are delivered without any envelope or covering
whatever, and the amount of each man's income be-
comes known to all who have the curiosity to pry
into the state of his affairs.

Queen of the Belgians embarked at Woolwich dock•

SUGAR.—Th e market for British Plantation has been very
firm, and nearly all the parcels on show found buyers at
rather higher prices. The transactions, since our last, amount
to about 300 hhds. There hes 'been an improved demand
for refined fOr home consumption, and nearly all the parcels
offering have found ready buyers at rather higher pricia.
The public sales have only offered 310 bags Mauritius, 1,735
bags and 85 casks Bengal, which sold readily; low .to good
grevish yellow Mauritius at 61s to 625, mid yellow to good
white Bengal, 61s to 675; and low to good brown (Khaur
kind) 48s to 52s 6d.
FOREIGN.—A small cargo of brown Macao, has been sold
afloat at 17s, with a small portion at 16s, deliverable in Ham-
burgh. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week
at the East and West India Dock was 377 hhds, 62 tics, 113
brls, and there westeaken for home consumption 800 hhds,
