BOMBAY,

The sales of Ale at this place, as per Price Current (Nov. 1), were—
A1150pp...... 200 hhds. at 65 rugs. I Bass CO sups. to 61 sups.
The s me Price Current (Dec. 1) says :—" We have been apprised
of a sale of 50 hhas. 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. I) remarks :—" We have heard
mention of 2, 0 hhds. of Allsopp's having bees, sold, since the dispatch
of the last mail, at 65 supers per hhd., which cleared the market for
the time. A furt ter supply of SOO hit& has slice come in, of which
some had been previously sold at the above price to arrive. The de-
mand for this brew has been brisk throughout the month, arising, as
we understand, trom the very favourable reports received from the
country of the quality of last season's brew."

The

October to the
grossly untrue, inasmuch as they have understated the shipments of
Messrs. Allsopp in that time to the extent of 60 hrds. to Calcutta
alone. It is true that Messrs. Allsopp's shipments at this period wer e
unusually small, and that, with the exception of about 200 hhds., their
shipping season did not commence till late in November, in conse-
quence of very extensive alterations and enlargements in their brew-
ery, which increased business obliged them to make. It is necessary
to observe, 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 1845, lest they shou'd not be strictly correct, but from Oc-
tober, 1841, to October, 1812, they were as follows, as admitted by
Messrs. Bass:—
Bombay. Madras and Calcutta. Total Hhds.

Messrs. Allsopp have only to remark that the shipments of the
subsequent year have been as nearly as po Fib le in the same proportion,

In closing the above exposition of the advertisement put forth by
Messrs Bass, it is necessary to state that, on a private representa-
tion of its gross incorrectness being made to that firm by Messrs.

THURSDAY EVENING.—This being the day -appointed for
the` nomination,-the parties proceeded to the hustings, which
were erected in the Priory Courts. Mr. Mcore, attended by
B. Smith, Esq., dud. H. Elphinstone; Esq., MY.; and
his friends ; Mr. Briscoe, attended by his friends, in a gay
equipage. There were no banners of any description to be
seen, and.blit very few colours of either party. Never was
seen such a revolution in election proceedings in Hastings ;
yet we finclit approved by all classes:
The Mayor (Dr. M'Cabe) having arrived, and the usual
preliminanes-having been gone through,
Major JEFFRIRS presented himself to propose Musgrave
Briscoe, 'of Coghurst-halll Esq., as representative for this bo.-
rough. He said Xr._liriscoe was a gentleman well known to
them, lived among:them, had familyconnexions living in the
town, was a Conservative in politics, at the same time not
opposed to the 'reform of all provedubuses. •
Mr. F. Stout seconded the nomination.

kr. B. SMITH, M.P., said he had heard a great deal from
the proposer and seconder of Mr. Briscoe, with respect to cer-
tain mansions, but he• did not understand distinctly what
they meant. He had not one word to say against Mr. Briscoe
as a private gentleman—he was llotiourable, kind, charitable,
and humane-; but he did not understand thatthey were come
here to elect a gentleman for such qualities to represent them
in Parliament.—(Hear, - hear.) They required a man who
would take a large and extensive view of the capabilities of
this great country, and apply his energies to develope them.
The broad acres of Mr. Briscoe could avail him but little with
all his benevolence in relieving the great distresses which
existed in this country, crippled as it was by bad legislation,
the result of the government of the lan:. d aristocracy, to the
detriment of the labouring' classes. - 'he Hon. Gentleman
concluded by proposing R. R-. R. Mooit Esq.

hesitated to come. forward to oder himself as a candidate.
His sentiments were well knowikto them. lit was- deter-

—which, he belieted, would proiaste the prosperity of the
kingdom. 'He should support the-tom-laws, for he felt that
protection' must be given to the agriculturists- He was not
.tbr high prices, furtherthan to protect the farmer; so as to
enable him to give to his labourer properandJair.wages.
He thought that the labourer should be paid 2s:'t-day,- Wee-'
trade was only another name for free competition. His motto
was, " Live and let live," for the interests of the landlord,
tenant, and labourer. , As a member of the Established
Church he should support that Establishment; feeling that, if.;
it waiput down or disserered front the State, the liberty of
all our institutions would be ridd-';-.!ver by the -Roman Ca-
thOlies of this country.--(Disappior ion.) • -
.. Mr. MoonE was received with great applause. He'said he

.that .-We might obtain ' front other countde:s what we
'wanted' most, and they take from us what we could spare.
'For 29, years we had had a cora-law, and ddring that time
we had" bnoUght hi a' thousand millions pounds' worth of
goods, whieh bad been.paid for by the labour of this country.
,During the same period we had purchased fifty millions',
;worth of fOreign cord, and that corn had been paid for in
gold.- It was nor tote wondered at that a dread of a drain of
gold should exist, and it would; it must at times exist under
the present laws, because the demand was not regular ; and
when corn was required, the demand for goods did not arise
in an equal degree ; or, from the supply not being anticipated,
the goods were not at hand; but if the demand was regular,
that would not occur. In the year 1836 the effect was most
severely felt. The of that year was promising, but,
after July the prospect changed, and speculation set to work
to purchase all the,corn in other parts. It came in, and the
consequence was, to reduce, the bullion in the coffers of the
Bank of England beTOw two 'millions. The' Leariied Gen-
tleman. next contrasted the state of our exports to that
country now as compared with what it was in ' proportion
when their population was only one-fifth ' -of the
present.' Had it gone on, or borne an equal proportion
we ought to have' been sending thirty-six million pounds'
worth instead of three. ,Ha contended that that country was
not nftogither to be blinied for the debts owing to this corm•
try, for it was-well knoirn that the people of Sheffield were
great creditors, aid they had preseoed a petition to. be al,

The CHAIRMAN said the charter was not available to the
proprietary. The. Directors had now done their duty, in
bringing the matter under the notice of the Proprietors ; and
he thought it was better that the plan they proposed should
go forth to the public through the usual channels, so that all
holders of the stock should at once be made aware that the
plan would be brought forward immediately.
A PROPRIETOR inquired in what way the prospectus would
be forwarded to the Proprietors?
The OWE...maim—Either through the Post-office or by hand ;
but any Proprietor who did not have one forwarded to him,
might obtain one by application at the office.
On the motion of Mr. Mocarra, thanks were voted to the
Chairman and Directors.

The CHAIRMAN briefly acknowledged the compliment, after
which the Court adjourned.

ATTEMPT TO INTERRUPT THE
MEETING OF MR O'CONNELL'S FRIENDS
AT LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING.—A most unfair and
improper attempt to disturb the meeting of Mr. O'Connell's
friends, to be held in the Amphitheatre this evening, has been
made by the ultra-Tories of this town, by circulating exten-
sively, and posting on the walls a placard signed " A Car-
penter," stating that it was the intention of that enemy to
the Queen, and ally of the Pope, Daniel O'Connell, to be
present at the meeting, and calling upon the carpenters to at-
tend also, and do their duty. This placard was extensively
circulated yesterday. In the afternoon a requisition to the
Mayor was got up, and placed in the room adjoining the Ex-
change News-room, calling upon that worthy functionary to
put a stop to the meeting, because the excitement created
in the minds of the loyal inhabitants would not permit the
meeting to take place without interruption and great danger
to the public peace. It did not, however, meet with very
great success, having received only fifty-seven signatures.
It will be presented this morning; but we can hardly sup-
pose that our Chief Magistrate will think it necessary, to
bestow attention on it. The meeting will be held, and we
have no doubt will be peaceable and orderly in itself, though
it may perhaps require the assistance of the police to keep
in order the turbulent Orange faction who may come there to
interrupt.
The following is a copy of the requisition to the Mayor :
" Liverpool, Wednesday, March 27, 1844.
" Sir,—We, the undersigned, having noticed that a meet-
ing has been called, by placard, to take place to-morrow
(Thursday) evening at the Amphitheatre, for the purpose of
sympathising with convicted conspirators,' impugning the
justice of the administration of British laws on the occasion
of the recent State Trials in Ireland, and interfering with the
judgment still pending, cannot refrain from expressing to
your Worship our sense of the indecency of such meeting,
and our firm conviction, that such is the excitement which it
is creating in the minds of the loyal people of this borough,
that it will not be permitted to take place without interrug•
tion and great danger to the peace of the town. We, there-
fore, respectfully request, that your Worship will use the
functions of your magisterial office to prevent such meeting
being held as proposed."

SUICIDE OF AN ENGLISHMAN IN FRANCE..,—The
Semaphore of Marseilles states that an Englishman a few
days ago put up at the Hotel Paradis, in that city, and en-
joyed himself during his stay very heartily. He had plenty
of money, and spent it freely. One day his absence from
the table d'hote being observed, a waiter was sent up to his
room to call him. The door being found locked inside, and
no one replying when the man knocked, it was thought ad-
visable to burst it open. The unfortunate man was found
lying on the floor, with a razor near, with which he had cut
hie throat. _ _ _

~~MYSTERIOUS CASE.—Shortly after twelve o'clock
on Thursday, a fine young woman, most respectably attired,
about twenty years of age, was taken out of the City-road-
basin ; there is a very severe wound over the forehead, but
whether it has arisen from violence, or by coming into con-
tact with the barges, is at present unknown. The body ap-
pears to have been in the water about twelve days. At a
later period of the day her name was ascertained to be Eliza
Jukes
FATAL ACCIDENT.—Mr. Carter, the coroner, held
an inquest at the King and Queen, Rotherhithe, as to the
death of Richard Herbert Penderell, aged 29, who was
drowned under very melancholy circumstances. It appeared
by the evidence that the deceased was a waterman, and was
very often attacked with fits. On Thursday last he had just
landed a fare, and.was returning to King and Queen Stairs,
when Inspector Judge, of the Thames police, saw him stand
up in the boat and extend his arms, the usual signal he made
when he felt the approach of the fits, and almost instantly
he fell into the river. Inspector Judge rowed to the spot,
and having got the drags searched for the body, which was
taken out in about a quarter of an hour. Every means were
resorted to to restore life, but medical skill was unavailing.
It was stated in the room that the deceased Was in expecta-
tion of considerable property, as a descendant of Richard
Penderell, who assisted in the escape of Charles 11., after the
battle of Worcester. Penderell's monument is behind the
altar in the church of St. Giles-in-the-Fields. A verdict of
" Accidentally drowned" was returned.
EAST ANGLIAN RAILWAYS. Yesterday special
meetings of the Proprietors of the Northern and Eastern and
Eastern Counties Companies, were held at the Shorcditch
station. The Proprietors of the Northern and Eastern Com-
ny met at twelve o'clock, when, in the absence of Mr. W.
Marshall. M.P., chairman of the Directors, Mr. Paterson pre-
sided. The draft of a Bill to empower the Directors to apply
to Parliament for leave to make certain deviations in the
Newport Extension Line, was submitted to the meeting and
agreed to. The Chairman stated that it had likewise been
determined on, by the Directors of the joint Companies, to
apply to Parliament in the next session to extend the rail-
way from Ely to Lincoln, through Wisbeach, Lynn, Spald-
ing, and Boston. At the meeting of the Eastern Counties
Proprietors, Mr. H. Bosanquet presiding, a Bill was read and
agreed to for extending the line by Cambridge and Ely, and
from thence to Brandon and Peterborough. The Chairman
stated that the Bill now before Parliament, for the amalga-
mation of the interests of the two Companies, was not likely
to meet with opposition.
TRIED BRANDY.—At the last Gloucestershire Ad-
journed Sessions, a girl was placed at the bar, charged with
stealing a pint of brandy (it was produced in Court) from
her master. The girl was acquitted; but the jury, with
exemplary partiality, not only tried the girl, but the brandy
too; for they conscientiously emptied the bottle. The liquor
being drunk, the jury appended to their verdict—" below
